Der LiBeraturpreis ist ein Literaturpreis, der ausschließlich an Autorinnen aus Afrika, Asien, Lateinamerika und der arabischen Welt vergeben wird.

Geschichte
Von 1987 bis 2012 wurde er vom Verein Initiative LiBeraturpreis im Ökumenischen Zentrum Christuskirche in Frankfurt am Main verliehen. Maßgeblich begründet und langjährig begleitet hat diese Initiative Ingeborg Kaestner. Seit 2013 übernimmt der Verein Litprom unter der Regie der Frankfurter Buchmesse die Verleihung. Anlass zur Stiftung dieses Preises war einerseits, dass in der entwicklungspolitischen Diskussion viel von der materiellen Armut der Länder des Südens die Rede ist, jedoch zu wenig von deren kulturellem Reichtum. Andererseits ist die geringe Zahl von übersetzten Werken von Autorinnen aus den genannten Ländern genannt worden.

Der Preis war bis 2012 mit einem Preisgeld von 500 Euro sowie einer Einladung zur Frankfurter Buchmesse verbunden. Seit 2013 beinhaltet der LiBeraturpreis ein Preisgeld von 3000 Euro und eine Einladung zur Frankfurter Buchmesse. In einem heute nicht mehr im Netz verfügbaren Online-Artikel des Goethe-Instituts wurde dem LiBeraturpreis einiger Stellenwert zugeschrieben, da er die Aufmerksamkeit auf Kulturleistungen der so genannten Dritten Welt lenke. Seit 2014 ist die Abstimmung über die Preisträgerin öffentlich und wird online durchgeführt.

Von 2001 bis 2007 vergab die Initiative LiBeraturpreis zusätzlich einen Förderpreis, um Autorinnen für den deutschsprachigen Raum zu "entdecken", von denen noch keine Texte in deutscher Übersetzung vorliegen. Mit dem Förderpreis war eine Einladung zur Leipziger Buchmesse verbunden, um damit auch die Aufmerksamkeit der Verlage zu wecken.

Seit 2017 ist die Chefredakteurin der Deutschen Welle, Ines Pohl, Schirmherrin des LiBeraturpreises.

Vergabepraxis
Von 2016 bis 2020 wurde der Preis vom Publikum vergeben: Jede und jeder konnte einen Titel der Weltliteratur vorschlagen und damit die Preisträgerin mitbestimmten.

Seit 2021 werden die Autorinnen automatisch nominiert, die im Vorjahr auf einer der vier Weltempfänger-Bestenlisten standen. Darunter sind in den letzten Jahren zwischen sechs und acht Titel von Autorinnen. Auch wurde neu eine Jury einberufen, die für jeweils zwei Jahre gewählt wird.

Jury
Die 2021 neu einberufene Jury besteht aus:

 Florian Balke, Redakteur der Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung
 Anita Djafari, ehemalige Geschäftsleiterin von Litprom und Jurymitglied der Bestenliste Weltempfänger
 Oliver Fründt, Buchhändler in der Büchergilde-Gutenberg-Buchhandlung Frankfurt am Main
 Monika Lustig, Verlegerin der Edition Converso, Mitglied von Litprom
 Corinna Santa Cruz, Lektorin für Übersetzungen bei der Büchergilde Gutenberg

LiBeratur-Preisträgerinnen

More than most tech companies out there, Apple is a manufacturer that really gets set in its ways: no doubt after a long period of careful consideration, Apple tends to decide, "this is how we're going to do things," and keeps on doing that same thing, over and over, for years and years.
That's especially true when it comes to the form factor of its mobile iOS devices, and something as simple as trying out a new screen size can feel like the biggest ask in the world when we're talking about Apple. And certainly when we're looking at Apple's tablets, there's ample evidence for the company really getting locked in to particular shapes and sizes.
Ever since the iPad was introduced all the way back in 2010, the tablet's featured a 9.7-inch display in iteration after iteration. And from the moment the iPad mini launched in 2012, it's represented a 7.9-inch option.
For years, that was all we had, until Apple unveiled the iPad Pro in 2015, with its big 12.9-inch display. Since then, we've also seen that Pro designation come to 9.7-inch iPads, but now we're finally ready for something new, and Apple's giving us just that as it begins sales of its first new iPad size in years, the 10.5-inch iPad Pro.
With this new screen size, is the 10.5-inch iPad Pro a good trade-off between the portability of the now-discontinued 9.7-inch iPad Pro and the sheer bulk of the 12.9-inch headlining model? Let's take a look.

A bigger screen doesn't mean an uncomfortably larger tablet
While the screen size of this new iPad Pro option may be a first for Apple, the company's hardly going back to the drawing board for the tablet's design. Instead, what we get with the iPad Pro 10.5 is a scaled-up version of the old 9.7-inch iPad Pro.
Compared to that existing model, the 10.5-incher doesn't feel significantly bigger. It's just 10mm taller than the 9.7-inch model, and less than 5mm wider. And while both generations of the 12.9-inch iPad Pro measure 6.9mm thick, this tablet sticks with the very same 6.1mm thickness we saw on the 9.7-inch tablet.
One factor that helps Apple keep sizes down here is a slightly smaller bezel than we saw with the 9.7-inch model, such that a larger screen doesn't translate linearly into a larger tablet face.
Apple offers the same sort of color options as it did with the 9.7-inch iPad Pro. While all iPad Pro hardware has been available in your choice of silver, space gray, and gold, the 9.7-inch model also offered a rose-gold choice – and that option's back for this tablet.
Apple's perfectionism shines with an exceptionally well-executed screen
Let's pretend for a moment that this isn't the first 10.5-inch iPad, and so we're not super-interested in the tablet just because of the new size it represents for Apple. And while we always love a mobile device featuring the latest and greatest processing tech, let's choose to ignore that this iPad Pro is running Apple's latest silicon.
With those two big hooks out of the way, why else should you care about this iPad? One big reason: the tablet's display.
Both this and the new 12.9-inch iPad Pro feature what Apple's calling ProMotion, a technology that allows the screens on these devices to achieve refresh rates as high as 120Hz, for silky-smooth animation.
That sounds really good, but don't expect it to change every aspect of your iPad user experience. For while the screen's now capable of such high-refresh-rate feats, your actual ability to see them is going to pop up a little less frequently. For one, don't expect to see the sort of motion interpolation you get on some 120Hz television sets; videos are going to look just like they always did. And with many apps, too, you're probably going to see great frame rates as a result of the upgraded GPU, but don't hold your breath for something game-changing here.
Instead, expect more interface-driven improvements like smooth scrolling between screens. And while this review is focusing specifically on the new iPad Pro, and not accessories like the Apple Pencil, that higher refresh-rate should spell more natural-feeling input for users who do take advantage of such hardware.
We have to commend Apple for delivering one of the best-balanced screens we've seen in several months, with near spot-on color accuracy. The tablet also has one hell of a bright display, with output coming in brighter than many smartphones. Sadly, the very brightest output is reserved for the iPad's auto-brightness mode, but this is still easily brighter than models like the iPad Air 2 or iPad Mini 4.

Apple's tablet support has come a long way, but iOS still has few issues left unresolved
Right now, there's not a lot unique and special going on with the interface you're going to find on the iPad Pro – if you're familiar with iOS 10 already, expect more of the same. Mind you, iOS 11 is just around the corner, and we can look forward to a number of upgrades and new features focused specifically on Apple's tablet lineup – but that's still a few months away.
For the moment, we can reflect on how Apple's mobile OS responds to larger-screen devices than the typical 9.7-inch iPad fare. On a very basic level, iOS still doesn't feel particularly optimized for tablets, and that's made clear the moment you power the tablet on and see the operating system's home screen with the same paltry 4 x 5 array of app icons you get on a much, much smaller iPhone display.
Sure, they're not much worse here than on a 9.7-inch iPad, and the situation is far more pronounced on the 12.9-inch iPad Pro, but it's still just a bit infuriating that – with the default wallpaper – we literally have tiny icons floating on a vast sea of empty space between them. Some users may find serenity in the low-density layout, but for those who thought that a big-screen Pro-branded tablet would be all about optimizing the tablet's interface with a focus on productivity, it's something in the neighborhood of maddening.
What works better is split-screen and picture-in-picture support, letting you view two apps side-by-side or superimpose a video thumbnail over another full-screen app. The limited screen real estate compared to the 12.9-inch iPad Pro does make split-screen a little less functional here, but it's still handy in a decent number of scenarios, like viewing a map to a restaurant while checking out its menu to the side.
With both of these features, though, we wish there were more flexibility. You're highly limited in terms of how you can resize apps, as well as video windows. And there's still the issue that PIP isn't supported at all in popular third-party apps like YouTube.
With some of the best performance we've ever seen, the new iPad Pro is in a league of its own
A new generation of iPads is more often than not an opportunity to get to know Apple's latest silicon, and that's very much the case this time around. For both the original 12.9-inch iPad Pro and the now-discontinued 9.7-inch edition, Apple used its A9X chip, which was already a quite powerful processor. With this new wave of tablets, the company's introducing the beefed-up A10X, which produces what Apple claims to be a 30 boost in processing power, and 40 percent increase to graphics computational speed.
Not content to just take Apple's word for it, we ran the 10.5-inch iPad Pro through our full assault of benchmark tests, and it's done nothing less than utterly blow away the competition. While each test we run measures a slightly different array of variables, we're looking at performance that's roughly 20 to 25% better than you'll get from an iPhone 7. Put simply, we've yet to see another tablet with speeds anything like this.
That's not just a benchmark determination, either, and subjectively the iPad Pro is phenomenally fast. The speed has a way of sneaking up on you, not always leaving you aware of the improvements – and that's a very good thing. Rather than thinking to yourself, "my stars, this app is fast," it's more like you don't think about the speed at all – things are just running so smoothly that you never see those slowdown moments that get you pondering performance bottlenecks in the first place.
While Apple continues to play coy about the topic of RAM in its mobile devices, teardowns have confirmed that the new iPad Pro is equipped with 4GB of LPDDR4 memory. We might look for more on a full-blown laptop, but for an iOS device, that capacity feels more than sufficient to keep app-multitasking running smoothly.
As far as storage is concerned, Apple offers 64GB, 256GB, and 512GB editions of the tablet, starting at about $650, $750, and $950 as WiFi-only editions, respectively. For the purposes of this review, we're looking at the 64GB model, but if we had to pick a sweet spot on that storage/pricing curve, 256GB is feeling like a pretty nice balance.

As per usual, Apple offers its latest iPads in both WiFi-only and cellular equipped models, and no matter which storage configuration you go with, opting for cellular connectivity will add $130 to your final cost.
But perhaps the more relevant connectivity concerns accessories, and as an iPad Pro model, this tablet supports both the Apple Pencil and the Smart Keyboard. While the former is obviously a wireless devices, the keyboard connects to the iPad Pro through a proprietary edge interface. We didn't evaluate the Smart Keyboard as part of this review, but if you want to pick one up, Apple's got a new edition custom-sized for the 10.5-inch iPad Pro, priced at just about $160.
A camera this good will have you reconsidering tablets as legitimate photo-taking hardware
Using a camera on a tablet can feel like the mobile-photography equivalent of wearing socks with sandals, but just because it can be a little socially awkward doesn't mean it's not a useful feature to have – nor an area where it necessarily makes sense to skimp on hardware. And if you're of the better-off-being-prepared mentality, you'll be pleased to know that the latest iPad Pros have some exceptional camera components.
Apple gives this tablet a 12MP main camera with an f/1.8 aperture and optical stabilization – and if that package sounds familiar, it should, because it's the same setup we saw (and loved) on the iPhone 7. That _phone_ (to say nothing of the dual-camera iPhone 7 Plus) offered an utterly fantastic image-taking experience; are we in for more of the same here? Let's take a look.
Camera interface
Here's the weird thing about taking pictures with the 10.5-inch iPad Pro, its preposterous tablet size be damned: it's a lot of fun. Sure, it can be more than a bit unwieldy, and especially when you're dealing with a device this large, it's a bit weird to have the camera so tucked away in one corner, rather than in a more natural-feeling centered spot on the tablet's back, but there's a legitimate appeal to having a gargantuan viewfinder to work with: it just makes framing your shots and anticipating how they're going to turn out a bit easier.
And for the record, yes, they turn out great. Sure, there's no future where we see ourselves ditching our smartphones and their extremely capable cameras to rely primarily on a tablet, but when the 10.5-inch iPad Pro is all you have on hand, you've got no excuse not to be capturing some utterly beautiful shots.
Much of our same comments about the iPhone 7's camera apply here, and particularly, if you're used to super-saturated, high-contrast pics, there's a risk you'll interpret the iPad's camera output as slightly washed-out. Really, though, we don't think that's the case, and the camera here does do an admirable job of reflecting the real-world makeup of a scene, rather than to over-gloss it with heavy-handed processing. Also like the iPhone, the auto-HDR mode does a good job at salvaging otherwise complicated exposures, but the tablet's software is quite conservative in how it's deployed, saving its effects for when they matter post.
As is the case for still-image photography on the 10.5-inch iPad Pro, your experience here is largely going to mirror what you get on an iPhone. We say "largely," but there really is some divergence with video that's much less true with stills.
As far as what the iPad can capture, you've got your popular shooting modes covered: 4K, 1080p, and even a 60fps mode for the latter – which looks beautiful on the iPad's ProMotion display.
But there is a pronounced difference here and it's a negative one: the iPad isn't great when it comes to recording audio for your videos. That's a shame because they look really great, but the sound has a really far-away, muddled quality to it, almost like what you think things would sound like if you were recording underwater. We don't know if overly-aggressive noise-cancellation is to blame, or just the placement of the tablet's microphones, but it's a real disappointment compared to everything else this camera package delivers.
With speakers this rich and pleasing, you can feel confident leaving your headphones at home
OK, we know the tablet has "Pro" in its name, and between the stylus and keyboard accessories available, is well equipped to handle all variety of serious, laptop-replacing business tasks. That's well and good, but sometimes you need to kick back with a little Netflix, or get caught up on the latest movie trailers – and if that's the afternoon you've got planned, the 10.5-inch iPad Pro is nicely outfitted to entertain.
We've already spent some time talking about the beautiful screen on this tablet, but it's worth reiterating here: colors are accurately reproduced, screen brightness is as good as you'll find on some of the best phones out there, and between the ProMotion display and the heavy-duty GPU on the new A10X chip, this iPad is armed to display some really, really great-looking video.
The only downside there, and it's a small one, is the 3:2 aspect ratio of the tablet's screen, in a world where the vast majority of content being consumed is 16:9 widescreen. That's no huge problem, but it does make the iPad slightly less than ideal for video-watching. Then again, this is an issue that's existed since the dawn of Apple's tablet's existence – but just because it's familiar doesn't mean it's not worth mentioning.
But this is all dancing around the big draw of consuming media on the iPad Pro: its speakers. The quad-speaker layout we were introduced to with the original iPad Pro is back, and it still sounds nothing short of phenomenal.
Beyond those four speakers always making sure that there's audio piping-out at the ideal angle for listening, they deliver some frequency coverage that sounds more in line with a dedicated stereo system than what you're used to expecting from a compact mobile device – and particularly, that comes though in the form of some really earthy, aurally satisfying bass reproduction.
And even if you need a little discretion in your audio consumption, the iPad Pro has you covered with a good-old analog headphone jack; Apple's efforts to re-write your expectations when it comes to headphone support haven't yet corrupted the company's tablet lineup.

Even with a big screen and blistering performance, battery life remains all sorts of solid
For users who lament the existence of phones that trade battery life for compact sizes on a daily basis, tablets can be a godsend, and even with the 10.5-inch iPad Pro measuring in as thin as it does, Apple still finds room to squeeze in a decently sized 8,100mAh battery.
With our custom battery-endurance test, the same we use to evaluate smartphones, the iPad Pro gave us about ten-and-a-half hours of continuous screen-on time. That's pretty good by most standards, and especially so when you consider the sheer surface area of screen must be illuminated that whole time.
Apple really seems to have decided on bringing parity to its tablet lineup, and though we'll be discussing the 12.9-inch iPad Pro in a separate review, it's interesting to note that with its larger battery (and correspondingly larger screen), that tablet enjoys roughly similar battery life to this, its smaller cousin.
Battery life may be no issue for the iPad, but recharging is a different story altogether. While you wouldn't be wrong to expect a smartphone – even one that pulls 10 hours of battery life – to charge in two hours or less, this iPad takes about three-and-a-half hours with its included charger to restore its battery to capacity. For tablets, that's not horrible, but make sure you've got the time to kill.

Apple strikes a very attractive balance with the new 10.5-inch iPad Pro. The larger screen size over the typical 9.7-inch variety gives you a tad more elbow room than you'd have on a smaller tablet, making things like reading text-dense websites slightly more comfortable. The bigger deal here is that Apple was able to give us such a screen without making the tablet's dimensions significantly larger than before.
But really, the screen size isn't the big draw here – we're just glad there's a smaller option than the 12.9-inch iPad Pro, and whether that spells 10.5 inches or 9.7 inches is mostly immaterial. This tablet succeeds because of how high-quality the rest of its hardware is.
The display looks great and is bright enough for even outdoor usage. The speakers sound fantastic, and will make you wonder how you ever settled for less. Battery life will easily stretch throughout a full day, even if recharge times are a little lengthy. And the tablet's performance is literally second-to-none, outclassing every other mobile device we've looked at.
You can pay a lot for a fully-equipped iPad Pro, adding on extra storage, picking up cellular connectivity, and pairing the tablet with its stylus and keyboard accessories. But even if you opt for the simplest configuration Apple sells, you're still going to get a fantastically well-outfitted tablet for a price that is still relatively competitive. And while you're stuck with your choices of flash space and radio, you can always circle back around and add even more capability to the tablet with those accessories at a future date.
If you feel that a larger screen would add an extra dimension of productivity to your tablet-using experience, do think about dropping the extra $150 on the 12.9-inch iPad Pro. But if you all you want is a really well-rounded tablet that delivers one of the best overall experiences we've seen from a mobile device in a long while, you won't go wrong with the 10.5-inch iPad Pro.

Just a quick picture of the adjustible stockman I made. It was pretty easy.
The height is adjustable as well as the size of the holes and the airflow. I can take more pictures once i get home if you'd like.
What did you use to adjust the air?
I glued an air hose valve to the top.


Belém in the northern amazonas state Pará, Brasil, isn´t only a lovely city, but also has to offer a lively music scene with techno-brega as the most famous outcome. But it would be unfair to restrict Belém and its music only on that sound, especially for the great jazz scene and artists in the "Cidade das Mangueiras". And it would be unfair to bands like Coletivo Rádio Cipó from the bairro Pedreira, which make a collective interference in the regional culture with the universal language of electronic music. Their music fuses Brazilian regional styles funk de morro, samba, carimbó and batucada with hip hop, dub, breakbeat, jungle, ragga – the result is a maconha driven dubby trip to modern urban sounds and comes with an angry political message, pissed off by the miserable conditions and daily violence in the streets, where a single life not even counts a penny.
Coletivo Rádio Cipó are Carlinhos Vaz (drums and effects), Rato Boy (MC), Rodrigo Jamant (MC and programming), Renato Chalú (guitar), Jared das Arabias (bass) and Luis Bolla (percussion), but as a collective many other artists and just the people from the streets can and did participate. Music made through the partnership with the community, integrating popular, as well as urban and peripheral understandings and influences, a process of growth and expansion of the free digital communication.
The record opens with the hipnotic instrumental "cowboy sem lei", soon reaches with "foguete" the first but not last climax, gets more relaxed for some tracks and has with the aggressive dancefloor pusher "choque eléctrico piau" an impressive wake up call for the the last third of the record. Where it is getting almost jazzy with the out of space dub "amor brejeiro", with the wonderful vocals of Dona Onete on the mic. She also participates on the mic the following track, "paixão cabocla", a half samba-half dub, explores the world of Lee Perry and its adepts. The record closes with the 12 minute long "lourinha americana", as great as the whole record.
Much more varied than all that baile funk stuff and also comes like a rararattattattatt-machine-gun-fire.

This is a required read for anyone participating in SR4L events.
Qualifying Sessions
Stay out of the way of drivers who are on flying laps when you're on an out lap, or any other non-useful qualifying lap for that matter. With a full field the track can get crowded. It can be hard find the space to complete a clean flying lap sometimes.
It's all the worse if people who are on an out lap try to 'race' those who are trying to complete a clean flying lap. Be a sport. Let others complete their flying laps as cleanly as possible.Also if you have spoiled the lap you're on - by spinning, a really bad section, whatever - then also consider staying out of the way of others for the remainder of your non-useful lap.
Exit the pits carefully. Watch the red light at the end of the pit lane. They warn you that car(s) on the track are approaching. Some drivers announce their egress onto the circuit with a 'PO' (Pit Out) notice though the chat facility. Since at SR4L, chat during qualify and race is forbidden, so we don't want you to do that. Try to ease yourself onto the track so that you get a view in your mirrors of what's coming up behind. Do not rudely charge onto the racing line if that is not necessary. Get to speed and be aware of other people on the track before taking the racing line.
All Sessions:
Get off the track and out of the way ASAP if your car is non functional.
If you crash, spin out, run out of fuel, whatever, so that you're on the track but not moving or moving very slowly for where you are, then move off the track as quickly as you can. If you're bound to retire after an incident, then retire ASAP. Treat this as a matter of urgency, as if every fraction of a second counts - and it often does. Your race may be done but others are still trying to compete as best they can. Running into your stationary or slowly moving vehicle will not make their day. At the very least get away from the racing line, and do it with all haste.Of course there may be some circumstance where a damaged car might still be repaired or capable of affording some benefit to its driver. Just take the first occasion to safely get to the pit and let the pitcrew repair your car.
Do not overdrive your heavily damaged car whilst endangering other drivers. Common sense has to prevail of course, and no one can expert you not to do everything reasonable to enhance your own result. But, if your current situation is not served by staying on the track, then please get off, and get off as fast as you can.
Show yourself in their mirrors.
rFactor has the huge blind spots - see below. To state the obvious, if the driver in front of you can't see you then don't be surprised if they crash into you, or cut you off so you can't avoid crashing into them. As much as you can, show yourself in the mirrors of the car in front.
Of course once you decide to overtake a car you have to drive into their blind spots. But even then, if they get a good view of what your movements are immediately prior to your disappearing, they'll have a much better idea of your probable position and likely immediate actions, and what they need to do to try to avoid contact. This is not quite the same as real life perhaps, but real life enjoys a much better visual range.
Trying to stay away from an opponent's mirrors may be a valid tactical ploy. I.e., trying to rattle them into an error by making them guess where you are. But in rFactor this is asking for trouble. Its visual limitations require us to play the gentleman here, if only for our own survival and enjoyment.
Never run into the back of someone in front of you.
This is probably one of the silliest things one driver can do to another. There's few excuses here. If you are behind then you have the responsibility to drive in a manner that will not lead to you running into a car ahead. It doesn't matter if you're faster, think you have the right to be let by, are more talented, or think that all slower drivers should not hold up faster drivers. If you're behind someone then that's your tough luck. You have to earn your pass the same as anyone. However frustrated you may be, or whatever, it is your responsibility not to run into the car in front of you.
Even if their braking zones occur earlier than yours would normally, then tough luck. You have to anticipate these possibilities and drive accordingly. If you've tried everything, braking, gearing down, changing line, etc., but can see you're still going to collide with a car ahead, then you should drive your own car off the track, crashing yourself out of the race if necessary, if that's what it takes to avoid such a contact.
The in-front driver must not do malicious braking of course. I.e. deliberately slowing down inappropriately to rattle a following driver. They are required to drive with all haste and due propriety. But while doing so within their limits they are entitled not to have to worry about whether a following driver will run into them. Being able to follow another driver without running into then is something you have to learn to do.
It often takes keen judgment and many times is not easy. You want to be as close as possible, to snatch a pass if a chance comes along, but you need to be far enough away to respond to the ahead driver's manoeuvres, evasively sometimes. It does take practice and it is a skill. But it's an essential skill for successful enjoyable online racing. You can practice with friends, in non-serious races, or with the AI cars offline. Offline, pick a car that's slower than you and try to hang on their tail for 10 laps or so without passing. You may surprise yourself at how much your skill in this area needs to be improved. Avoid close racing when it's not necessary.
Not only does very close driving give you very little time to react if the need arises, it also increases very much the likelihood of a internet-lag-time caused collision. In racing online there is always a risk of registering a collision in close driving even without any perceivable contact - due to internet lag. The closer you are to another car the more likely this will happen. The general rule for the careful and respectful driver would be, not to unnecessarily drive too close to another, especially whenever there is no point. E.g. In situations where there is no possibility of passing anyway. You're asking for trouble if you do, even if you don't actually do anything wrong.
Use Clear Body Language.
If someone is following you closely looking for a place to pass, and you kind of drift along with ambiguous movements about the track, or you sort of close the door but still leave the inside line half open, then you just might unintentionally lure the following car to try a pass that's only half on. Alternatively, if as soon as a following car gets anywhere near your rear quarter coming up to a corner, and while they are still in your mirrors, you make a firm and clear movement towards the inside line, and stick there, then they will know that your intentions are to close the door and drive the defensive inside line.
Such a clear defensive move will leave them in no doubt not to try a risky inside pass. This is just one case. There are others. The thing is ... always try to convey a clear message by your driving style so that surrounding drivers get a very good idea about your intentions. Body language used well can be almost as clear as having indicators on your car.
Practice the Other Lines Before You Have to Use Them.
If the first time you have ever tried driving around the outside of a certain corner is in a frantic race situation when you're racing toe to toe with someone, then you'll be in unfamiliar territory in the middle of a high stress precision driving situation.
A bad place to be. Before a race comes up, just try doing a few laps of the circuit hugging the left-hand-side of the road all the way around and then do a few hugging the right-hand-side. At the very least do 1 or 2 laps against each side of the road. You'll be surprised at how much less likely you are to crash while trying to hold road position if you are at least a little familiar with how the outer and inner lines feel.
Overtaking: The Non Contested Pass
A non contested pass is simply a pass where you're happy, for whatever reason, to let an overtaking driver go past with the least hindrance to them as possible. Your reasons may be that you don't want to risk an incident due to an overtaking battle, the overtaking driver may be known to you as a notorious accident causer, or you may be being lapped - in which case race etiquette requires you to do what you can to expedite a clean quick safe pass for the lapping driver.
Whatever the reason, there may be times when you want to let someone past.To let someone past uncontested, drive against one side of the track and maintain that position until they've passed. You need to use clear body language here. Moving from side to side trying to stay off the racing line, for the sake of the passing car, is the worse thing you can do. What's important is not wether you're on the racing line or not, but whether you're driving a predictable line. Pick a side of the road to move to, usually the one you're nearest to at the time, then religiously stay against that side until the car has passed.
You might even try slowing a little to expedite the pass, as sometimes a quick pass can benefit you as much as it does the passer. But don't slow down too abruptly of course and do not lift off in or directly after turns.During the race, if you're being lapped by another car you'll be shown a blue flag indicator in the left top corner of your screen. These are advisory flags to let you know you're about to be lapped and you're expected to do the gentlemanly thing and move out of the way. In rFactor you may not always see all the cars behind you in your mirrors at a particular time.
There may be several unseen cars close by around your tail. You may only ever see whichever one happens to be in your mirror's field of vision at the moment. This has special significance when you're being passed - with or without blue flags being waved.If you're being lapped, perhaps with blue flags but whenever, be aware there could be any number of lapping cars right on your gearbox even though you don't see them. What can happen is this ... You see a car coming up in your mirrors, maybe you also see blue flags, you think " there's a car lapping me I'll move over to let him pass", you move to one side of the road and let him through, you then move back onto the racing line and BAM, you've hit someone.
It turns out there was more than one car lapping you. When you moved over to let the first one through the others tried to go through too, as you'd expect. But while you were on the other side of the road, they were out of you mirrors, you simply never got to see them.This can really take you by surprise, and them too.
All you can do here is be as careful as possible, look around if you're able too, try to shy a glimpse, or listen for more engine sounds. They can help by trying to show themselves in your mirrors before going through. Be aware that just because you see one car go past that may not be the end of them. Whether after a blue flag or whenever, as the same limitations always apply.The drivers doing the lapping/passing should also bear in mind these limitations.
You (passing drivers) be aware that the car you're lapping may have absolutely no knowledge of your presence what-so-ever. Be careful. You should always try to show yourself in the mirrors of an ahead car before trying a pass.
Overtaking: The Contested Pass
The contested pass, or the pass done in anger, whatever you want to call it, is arguably one of the most difficult things to do cleanly without incident in rFactor. Battling for position, passing and counter passing, wheel to wheel racing, is also the most fun thing to do.
The problem with close racing of any sort, contested passing included, is largely one of what each driver in the situation can see of the other. It's just that there's a lot of guessing going on about exactly where and how close you are to another driver. The sim's range of vision is much less than real life. There are huge blind spots to contend with. The contested pass then is all about what you can and can't see.
Reactions: Ratus and george66912
rFactor's Blind Spots
rFactor has got very large blind spots. Often, nearby cars are simply not visible to you. The extent of the blind spots vary per car. For the F3 they are as follows (default field-of-view): You can see down a narrow field of view extending out directly behind you via your mirrors. Forward of this mirror area your blind spots begin - the shadowed area in the illustration. Your forward vision isn't 180 degrees as you might imagine but is also restricted to an angled area that extends out in front of the car.Perhaps one of the most significant things of which to be aware, is that your blind spots extend out in front of your own car.
I've seen several exchanges where one guy says something like, "what were you doing? I was in front of you! The corner was mine!" etc. Obviously unaware that you can be in front but still be unseen.The answer to the problem of driving very close to other cars you can't actually see is to drive with a lot of caution, care, and respect for your fellow drivers. You have to use your wits and anticipation. Most importantly, you must leave room for other cars whenever you have reason to believe they might be beside you. You can't wait to be sure they're beside you.
By the time you're sure, i.e. you can see them, it's too late. You need to leave room simply if you have reason to believe someone might be beside you.Leaving room for another car means you'll not be driving the ideal racing line. It also means you'll be driving a line you haven't practiced and which is unfamiliar to you. All this means you'll be slower through the given section than usual. This also means that not only will the action of leaving room provide the opportunity for an opponent to pass you, but it also enhances the likelihood of their success - while you're in a slower-than-usual mode of driving.
But that's tough. It's just the way it is, and frankly it's not that much a departure from real life racing in some of these respects. All things considered, you will still experience the best of sim racing enjoyment by always leaving room for your opponents wherever appropriate.
Overcoming The Blind Spots: The Look-Around Views rFactor has a built in look-around facility that can be assigned to operate from the buttons on your steering wheel. When activated, the forward view slides around to the desired direction to give you a view out the side of the car. These views are a useful idea. No doubt they're included due to a perceived need for some kind of enhancement to the visual range.A problem with the look-around views are that they turn the forward view so much that you can no longer see forward at all when they're selected. As you might imagine, it's rather difficult to drive a car at the bitter limit while seeing nothing but a side view line of sight.
Corner Rights
If you watch the odd few rFactor drivers in action you might think the rule for corner rights goes something like, "Whatever piece of ground I can barge my way into I have the right to". Well... not so. There is actually an etiquette for corner rights. It's not just for rFactor or racing sims, but is basically the same for every level of real-world motor racing - from Formula Ford to Formula 1 and everything in between. "What !", you say, "You mean I don't have the right to throw my car into any gap I see?".
Actually no, you don't - and if you raced in any real-world competition the way you may race in rFactor, instead of being hailed as a motor racing genius you may find yourself banned from even the lowest levels of the sport. Some of the everyday things you see in rFactor simply aren't tolerated where real cars are damaged, real money is the cost of repair, and real lives are at risk. In brief, the concept is, you must establish substantial overlap with the car ahead before a corner's turn-in point to have the right for room to be left for you by the ahead driver. Substantial overlap means at least that the front of your car is up to say the driver's position in the ahead car - and that's at the very least. You probably should have more in many circumstances.
The ahead driver has every right to be fully committed to the racing line of his choice without any interference if there was no overlap before he turned in. If sufficient overlap is established before the turn-in point, then the behind driver has the right to room. The ahead driver can still battle for the place of course but must do so from a wider-out position, leaving room for the behind driver. You may wonder how this reconciles with the above regarding leaving room for cars that disappear up your inside from your mirrors.
Well ... If a behind car doesn't have overlap before the turn-in point then they shouldn't disappear up your inside line but stay tucked in behind you. If they want to disappear up your inside line then they should do so before you reach the turn-in point. If they disappear up your inside line after the turn-in point, then it's really up to you how you play it.
You may decide to enforce your rights and risk a contact, or your may be willing (reluctantly) to leave room because you don't want to crash.An exception to this is where an ahead driver has clearly made a sufficient error to warrant a passing move. E.g. - they brake too late and wash out wide of the apex and have to reduce speed etc.
This would be a valid passing opportunity regardless of whether there was pre-existing overlap. However, there is still substantial reasonability on the overtaking driver to take all necessary care.Small errors by the ahead driver may not be sufficient to allow a safe passing move however. Just because the ahead driver gets a bit out of shape at times it doesn't give you an automatic right to room.
You still have to judge if their error provides sufficient opportunity for a safe pass to take place. As long as there is genuine overlap, in general, while going through a corner beside another car...The car on the outside has the right to the outer half of the track all the way around - right up to the exit point. They should not be squeezed against the outside towards the exit point.The car on the inside has the right to the inside half of the track all the way around - right up to the exit point.
They should not be squeezed against the inside towards the apex area.Having said all this, one would have to add that corner rights is not an exact science. There are some variables. Presented here is just the basic concept of the accepted etiquette. Even in real life, with full vision, full sensory feedback, infinite fps and resolution, its not uncommon for real drivers to come to grief with this - usually saying it was the other guy's fault.
With rFactor's huge blind spots it's even more hit and miss, often literally - you can however simulate real life to the letter by saying it was the other guy's fault.
Tips.
Nothing much. Just a couple of points. If in doubt, lift. If in a loss of control situation or a near loss of control one, lift your foot off the accelerator, usually with gentle haste. In nine out of ten situations this is the right thing to do anyway. The odd situation where you'd keep your foot planted requires such a fine skilled touch you probably wouldn't be successful at it anyway.
Lifting to get out of trouble is very often a safe bet. You'll be surprised at how many 'certain crash' situations you can actually drive away from if you would only lift your foot off the accelerator. Some people are very reluctant to lift their foot off for any reason. They're the ones up-side-down in the sand all too often. Drive, then Race.

From now on, unsafe track entries after an incident will be penalized.
If you have been in an incident and find yourself off track as a result, do everything in your power to enter track safe. It's your responsibility to perform a safe entry.
* while still off track, gain momentum in the direction of the track at that point.
* check if cars are coming or not, you can do this watching you mirror or look at the line with drivers at the bottom left of your screen.
* unless cars are arriving, merge onto track in a smooth, predictable way, still following the direction of the track as much as you can.
Of course, tracks like Monaco, where runoff-area is next to non-existent, can be an exception to this rule but even then, enter safe or wait.

Some great advice here
Don't forget this SR4L was formed with driver equality in mind. That means we cater for all skill levels which in turn means all are welcome. This can cause problems in races sometimes but with a little thought most times incidents won't come from stupidity but from guys racing... there's difference.

Knowledge, Skills and Experience Managing Tracheostomy Emergencies: A Survey of Critical Care Medicine trainees

Since the development of percutaneous tracheostomy, the number of tracheostomy patients on hospital wards has increased. Problems associated with adequate tracheostomy care on the wards are well documented, particularly the management of tracheostomy-related emergencies. A survey was conducted among non-consultant hospital doctors (NCHDs) starting their Critical Care Medicine training rotation in a university affiliated teaching hospital to determine their basic knowledge and skills in dealing with tracheostomy emergencies. Trainees who had received specific tracheostomy training or who had previous experience of dealing with tracheostomy emergencies were more confident in dealing with such emergencies compared to trainees without such training or experience. Only a minority of trainees were aware of local hospital guidelines regarding tracheostomy care. Our results highlight the importance of increased awareness of tracheostomy emergencies and the importance of specific training for Anaesthesia and Critical Care Medicine trainees.
Since the development of percutaneous tracheostomy, the number of hospital patients with tracheostomy tubes has increased over the last 20 years1. Tracheostomy tubes allow prolonged mechanical ventilation through a more secure airway than a translaryngeal tube. The presence of a tracheostomy tube can also facilitate speech, oral feeding and increased patient mobility. However, these potential benefits are associated with well recognised hazards both during and after insertion. Tracheostomy patients are increasingly being cared for in multiple locations throughout the hospital. In these settings, Anaesthesia or Critical Care Medicine trainees are often called urgently to manage tracheostomy related airway emergencies. It is therefore important that clear education and training is available for the healthcare staff involved. The 4th National Audit Project (NAP) of the Royal College of Anaesthetists concluded that the majority of significant tracheostomy related complications resulted from displaced or blocked tracheostomy tubes and that the implementation of multi-disciplinary tracheostomy care protocols can improve outcomes2.The survey was carried out to heighten hospital awareness of tracheostomy related emergencies and to improve education and training for Anaesthesia and Critical Care Medicine trainees.
We compiled a questionnaire on tracheostomy care for NCHDs beginning their Critical Care Medicine training rotation in a university affiliated tertiary level teaching hospital in Ireland. Survey questions were based on a literature review and the expert opinion of Anaesthetists and Intensivists experienced in tracheostomy management. Data collected included the base specialty of the NCHD and the number of year(s) of training and Critical Care Medicine experience. We ascertained what experience trainees had in managing tracheostomy related emergencies and their level of confidence in dealing with such emergencies. We also asked what previous specific teaching trainees had received in managing tracheostomy emergencies and if they were aware of local hospital guidelines for tracheostomy care. The survey also included questions that tested basic knowledge, skills and understanding of tracheostomy care (Table 1).
We used descriptive statistics to summarize respondent characteristics. Trainee level of confidence in dealing with tracheostomy emergencies was recorded on a 0 – 10 scale (0 = no confidence, 10 = fully confident, median values). Correlation between the number of survey questions answered correctly and trainee level of confidence with tracheostomy care is reported using Spearman Rank correlation coefficient. All data were collected, analyzed, and presented anonymously.
Thirty-four non-consultant hospital doctors (NCHDs) completed the survey. Twenty-nine respondents were Anaesthesia trainees, 4 were Emergency Medicine trainees and one was a Surgical trainee. Nineteen trainees (56%) had at least 6 months Critical Care Medicine experience prior to the survey. Twenty respondents (59%) had been called to manage a tracheostomy related airway emergency during their previous hospital training but only 10 (29%) were aware of local hospital guidelines of tracheostomy care. Only 18 trainees (53%) had previously received specific tracheostomy training.
On a scale of 0 - 10 (0 = no confidence, 10 = full confidence), trainees who had managed a tracheostomy emergency in the past would have more confidence (7/10) in dealing with a similar emergency compared to trainees who had no previous exposure (4/10). The overall confidence of NCHDs in handling tracheostomy emergencies was 6/10 but the level of confidence in managing tracheostomy emergencies did not correlate with the number of correct answers to survey questions about tracheostomy care (R = 0.25).
Most trainees had satisfactory basic knowledge of the components of a tracheostomy tube. All trainees responded correctly to survey questions on the initial management of a blocked tracheostomy tube. All trainees were aware that patients with an occluded tracheostomy tube can be ventilated oro-nasally if the tracheostomy cuff is deflated or if the tracheostomy tube is uncuffed, although 9 trainees (25%) stated they would consult with senior colleagues for advice prior to such attempts.
The majority of trainees (79%) recognised the dangers of blind re-insertion of a displaced tube in patients with a recently fashioned tracheotomy. However, 16 trainees (47%) did not understand that there was no longer continuity between the oral and nasal cavity and the trachea in total laryngectomy patients. Also, in the event of accidental tube dislodgement, 20 trainees (59%) did not know the purpose of tracheal "stay sutures" in a newly fashioned surgical tracheostomy wound. All respondents stated that specific tracheostomy teaching should be compulsory in all hospitals and should ideally be conducted at the beginning of their training rotation in each hospital.
The problems associated with adequate tracheostomy care on general hospital wards are well documented, particularly the management of tracheostomy-related emergencies. Acute airway obstruction can occur in patients who have undergone tracheostomy or laryngectomy often due to mucous plugging or tube displacement. A study reviewing 1130 tracheostomies reported a death rate of 0.35% most often secondary to hemorrhage or tube displacement3. In a review of 183 laryngectomy patients, 7% had tracheostomy tube complications, mostly due to mucous plugging associated with lack of humidification4.
This survey was conducted at the beginning of the NCHDs training rotation in order to assess their base knowledge. The survey shows that level of confidence in managing tracheostomy emergencies depends on level of Critical Care experience and previous teaching in the management of tracheostomy emergencies. It is reassuring that survey participants answered questions on the management of occluded tracheostomy tubes correctly and that the majority of respondents appreciate the danger of blind reinsertion in "fresh" tracheostomies. However, almost half our survey respondents did not appreciate that total laryngectomy patients could only be ventilated through their tracheostomy stoma. Also, at the time of tracheostomy, ear, nose and throat (ENT) surgeons routinely place "stay sutures" in the upper and lower rings of the trachea to facilitate retraction of the rings for reinsertion of a dislodged tracheostomy tube. However, many of the trainees that participated in this survey and would be primary responders to tracheostomy emergencies on the ward did not know how to use these potential life-saving "stay sutures". Given that Anaesthesia and Critical Care Medicine trainees are frequently in charge of tracheostomy emergency calls in the ward, these findings are especially concerning.
There are several limitations to our study. Our survey was only conducted in one teaching hospital with a relatively small number of participants and thus it may not reflect all NCHDs rotating in Anaesthesia and Critical Care Medicine. The majority of respondents were Anaesthesia trainees and a greater representation of Emergency Medicine or Surgical trainees would have been beneficial. Despite these limitations, our survey suggests the need for more education and training regarding appropriate management of tracheostomy patients with airway difficulties. Use of local or national guidelines and emergency algorithms would benefit primary responders to a tracheostomy emergency. Also, simulation based training, together with formal teaching may play a vital role in educating trainees on the management of tracheostomy emergencies5. This should be mandatory at the start of every placement and should be repeated at regular intervals in order to maintain the skills learned.

"I dreamed of a horse," my father told me.
He had just collected money from a man in a sandwich shop, and we were on our way to a bar.
At the sandwich shop, my father had eaten a hamsteak sandwich. He had used the corner of a Guest Check to get a shred of ham out from between his teeth.
But that man in the sandwich shop. After my father collected money from him, my father put his thumb, pointer finger, middle finger, and ring finger into the shape of a bird beak.
He held that bird beak up for the man to see. It was like an ostrich. Or it was like a crow. Where I lived with my mother, it was right where the gulls from the beach met the crows in town.
My father held the bird beak in front of the man's face and then used it to strike the man's face hard. It struck him between the eyes, and the surprise of the blow and the force of it made him fall down.
"Tomorrow, it will be your eye," my father said. "And then it will be your other eye. And then I'll open up your elbow and remove all its pieces."
My father's eyes were so bright they looked shined.
As we walked to the bar, he pointed to some flattened bottle caps on the sidewalk.
The moon was out, even though it was day.
"Do you know why the moon is out sometimes during the day?" he asked me. By his voice, I knew he wasn't joking around. He really wanted to know, and he wanted to know if I knew.
At the bar, my father told the bartender to get him his peanuts, and the bartender gave him a tall jar of peanuts.
My father did not like to shell peanuts. He did not like to get peanut dust or peanut skin on his pants.
The peanuts built up around his teeth as he told me about his dream. The horse in his dream had no mouth. It had no teeth. It was covered with bird beaks – thousands of black bird beaks.
"Like the beaks of crows," he told me. In the dream, he knew he had to feed them, but he didn't have anything for them.
A man missing an arm came into the bar. He called my father "Rush" because everyone called him that.
"Hey, Rush, how are you?" the man said.
"I'm partly cloudy, but I'll make it."

This is awesome. Gonna give more thoughts on it tomorrow.

The things that lead me to believe this piece should be superfed:
Natural inclination to gawk at the mob-esque
Intimacy of picking the pig out of one's teeth with a guest check
Excellent textual articulation of the bird beak gesture
Sympathies for the violent one that form when potentially deficient level of intelligence is revealed through moon query
Nickname "Rush" is a winner, perhaps fondly given by one who lost his arm to Rush, showing ultimate complexity of Rush's character
Reminder of ham in teeth via peanuts in teeth, giving more complete visual of a mouth that captures as much as it swallows, something consistent with the crudeness of the violence this individual is capable of
Gentle niceties that break things up, i.e. shining eyes, bottle caps, and peanut shells

Marietas Islands Puerto Vallarta With crystal clear waters and white sands, no one could imagine that the islands were used by the government for military exercises. And now the Marietas islands are protected by the Mexican government.
The Marietas are a group of uninhabited islands a few miles east of Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.
The water here is so clear that you can see 10 meters deep, but best of all are its reefs, swimming in these waters makes you feel at peace, as if you were swimming in a giant aquarium.

The Wright Center for Innovation in Biomedical Imaging at The Ohio State University is revolutionizing the interface between clinical applications and state-of-the-art imaging. The Wright Center was established in 2003 through two grants totaling more than $17 million, awarded to its director, Michael Knopp, MD, PhD. The center continues to earn funding and recognition through innovative research endeavors that are supported, in part, by the state of Ohio.
The center collaborates with Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland; Philips Medical Systems of Highland Heights, Ohio; and the Ohio Supercomputer Center in Columbus. The center provides imaging technologies to address current research questions and works with clinical teams to optimize the efficiency of diagnoses and applied therapies, while contributing to developing new treatment therapies.
The Wright Center is one of the few in the nation using the next generation digital positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET/CT) imaging system in which digital silicon photomultipliers replace the traditional photomultiplier tube, resulting in better linearity and accuracy. The center also is working to minimize the amount of radiation in PET scans, while maximizing resolution. This advance in the use of low-dose PET scans has allowed for multiple serial PET/CT scans to be performed in prospective clinical studies such as DBS for traumatic brain injury, Alzheimer's, obesity and other applications. Furthermore, the center, along with collaborators Philips Healthcare and Cardinal Health, has received grant funding of $3 million to develop new radiopharmaceuticals and imaging technologies for disease detection and diagnosis using a next generation PET/MRI platform.
The center embodies both an academic and industrial environment that consists of multidisciplinary research teams. Although many members of the teams focus exclusively on research efforts, the goals are tightly integrated with clinical concerns and utilizations. Dr. Knopp is passionate about incorporating educational opportunities and embraces working with students of varying levels. He attributes the success of the center to the collaborative atmosphere that is part of Ohio State and values promoting the vision of a "research to patient care" continuum.
