Title: Mangaluru: Twelfth graduation day ceremony of Sahyadri College held


The picture first appears as a spark flying from a dark surface. The glints begin to form intricate designs in colors of light: pink chrysanthemums, silver wrinkly skin, a golden kimono, a vivid touch of red on the lips of an elderly figure. Further away, in the upper right corner, appear misty summits of bronze, gold, and silver. A narrative begins to form from the darkness on a lid of an ink box.
This is one of among forty works from the elegant collection of Japanese lacquer assembled over more than a decade by Jaqueline Avant, a noted California collector of Japanese art. Selected by Hollis Goodall, Curator of Japanese Art at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the exhibition will be presented at the Crow Collection of Asian Art from March 2 to September 15, 2013.
Acquired by Mrs. Avant since the mid-1990s, this group of Japanese lacquers reveals the collector's love for this art form so treasured through history by Japan's elite. Many works on display originated from the dowries of feudal lord families, with family crests recording marriages of power and influence. Others were collected to delight wealthy merchants and reflect their personal tastes in dress and activities, from tea to smoking or composing poetry.
Recent finds suggest that lacquer has been employed in Japan as a protective film for at least 11,000 years.
Recent finds suggest that lacquer has been employed in Japan as a protective film for at least 11,000 years. The lacquer is painstakingly harvested from twenty-year-old cultivated urushi trees; each tree is bled for its sap, producing less than a cup of liquid and giving up its life in the process of harvest. The lacquer is then filtered and applied in about thirty thin layers to a paulownia wood or lacquered hemp core. After each layer is polymerized in a humidor and then sanded, the upper layers are sprinkled with gold or silver powders and flecks to create designs. The final coat of clear lacquer is then ground down to reveal the metallic design. The care and skill required for application of both ground lacquer layers and design, and the rarity and expense of materials, meant that lacquer work was the most revered of family treasures in Japan, just as silver would have been in Europe or the Americas.
In her collecting, Mrs. Avant has often been drawn to lacquer works used by women and men for arts and entertainment, such as poetry writing, poetry matching games, enjoyment of food or smoking, ceremonial display, wear (mulberry leaf inro), or personal care, such as boxes for combs, mirrors, tooth blackening powder, or incense. Also on view are boxes to hold objects of religious devotion, such as Buddhist holy texts (sutras), and even weapons for self-defense, including a decorated baton or knife.

Main article: Headspace (Issues album)
On January 2, 2015, Issues were featured in an article on Alternative Press, in which they stated that the writing and pre-production for their second album would begin on January 23. Ty Acord announced that he wouldn't be touring with Issues during 2015, in order to focus on his work as a music producer. However, he stated that he would still be a member of the band in the studio, and will co-produce the upcoming album, titled "Headspace"[27]
Drummer Josh Manuel said that the band was in the studio writing for their second album and that they had booked time, once again, with Kris Crummett and Erik Ron in July 2015 to record it.[28] In November 2015, they announced that they will be a five piece, with Ty leaving to focus on producing music and working with Issues only as a collaborator.[29][30][31]

On April 9, 2019, Issues announced that they had completed recording sessions and tracking for their upcoming third studio album.[34] In a statement from bass guitarist Skyler Acord, he stated: "We finished our album yesterday, almost two years to the day from the first writing session. It (literally) almost killed us in more ways than one but good art comes from conflict. I can't wait for you to hear what we went through, woven into the music we're all so proud of." On the same day, the band confirmed that they would release a new single "coming soon."[35] Before the album's announcement or promotional tour, the group is set to tour as support on American metalcore band I Prevail's Trauma U.S. Tour, from April 24 to August 9, 2019.[36] While taking online polls via Instagram on what the setlist should be for the upcoming tour, it was announced that the first single for the upcoming album would be released on May 3, 2019, titled "Tapping Out".

Musical style and influencesEdit
Issues has often been associated with metalcore, having a blend of nu metal,[38][39][40] pop, electronic and R&B.[41] AllMusic said the band mixed these genres to obtain "new nu metal," which has also been termed nu metalcore.[42][43][44][45][46] The band themselves has commented that they wanted to mix metal and "Top 40" music in the same way that nu metal mixed heavy metal music with hip hop music.[47] Other than being labelled as nu metal, Issues has also been labelled as metalcore,[48][49][50] "pop/metal"[50] and "R&Bcore".[51] They are influenced by artists and groups such as Korn (who the band named themselves after their 1999 album of the same name)[citation needed], Katy Perry, Linkin Park, Stevie Wonder, Jackson 5, Children of Bodom, Cradle of Filth, Parkway Drive, Blink-182, Sum 41, Fatboy Slim, Impending Doom, Slipknot, Kesha, Miley Cyrus and Beastie Boys.[50]
Meaning of the band nameEdit

LatAm-Threads: What Will Happen in Colombia after Peace with Las FARC?
What Will Happen in Colombia after Peace with Las FARC?
Since November peace negotiations between President Santos' administration and the FARC have begun in Cuba, much to the regret of hardliner and former president Álvaro Uribe Velez and the Uribistas. Thanks to the Norwegian government who has made considerable efforts in silent diplomacy to bring the two parties to the negotiation table, define the agenda and the road-map. Meanwhile in Colombia, Uribe continues to criticize the peace process, stating that you don't negotiate with terrorists and that the current administration shows more interest in dialogue with "terrorism" than National security. After a period of ignoring Uribe, Juan Manuel Santos has started a first offense to silence Uribe and his followers by stating Uribe sought peace talks with the FARC himself for five years during his two terms.
Most warfare experts will agree that any military victory isn't possible between FARC and the Colombian army. The FARC could go on for decades with their guerrilla warfare, while the Colombian army will never be able to defeat them completely in the Colombian rural areas and jungle. Unless the FARC is able to build an army as powerful and well equipped as the Colombian army, there is no chance of winning the conflict by the FARC either. During the Uribe administration and the first two years of Santos' first term, the FARC has decreased considerably until about 8,000 combatants, according to the Colombian government.
Stakes are high and the time is right. Santos needs the peace for his re-election (June 2014) and the FARC wants to campaign and to take part in the same elections and certainly doesn't want to continue peace negotiations after the elections with a new conservative president.
As agenda point 1, this is probably the most important issue for both parties. The operating rules (no. 9) which are attached to the agreed agenda tell us that this is the agreed starting point. Improving the living conditions for the poor campesinos is key for solving the domestic conflict. Health, education, housing, infrastructure, cooperatives, subsidies, credits, property formalization, development programs, it will all be discussed in Havana. However what is missing here is the word "land-reform". Meaning that the properties of large land-owners (that were often stolen or bought with criminal monies in the past) will stay untouched. What is mentioned in this agenda point is the use of waste lands, which are abundantly available in Colombia, but which are less fertile than the already cultivated lands. Santos already had some social plans and initiatives to reduce poverty and plans to improve infrastructure. So what's on the agenda isn't completely a surprise. However many poor and campesinos feel not represented by the FARC and they were initially not invited to the negotiation table. Therefore FARC and government delegations announced their first accord that was reached in Havana to create a citizen participation forum on agricultural development (un foro Política de Desarrollo Agrario Integral - Enfoque Territorial) due to meet in Bogota December 17-19.
Colombia's history of political participation of armed rebel groups has not been successful at all. The last time the FARC did disarm in 1985, a section of them formed the UP, Unión Patriótica, to run for office. The 5,000 UP members, including two presidential candidates, were slaughtered by drug lords, paramilitaries and rogue military agents during the mid-1980s, leading to its eventual decline and virtual disappearance.
M-19 (Movimiento 19 de Abril) another rebel group that was demobilized after peace talks in the late 1980s, became a political party Alianza Democrática M-19, whose political leaders and presidential candidates were promptly assassinated by paramilitaries and drug cartels.
This time it is expected that the FARC would ally itself with the existing political party Marcha Patriotica. As a prelude, a MP-party leader was assassinated on November 10th this year by apparently paramilitaries. The FARC is probably not going to lay down its arms until it gets some solid guarantees of legal protection of peaceful politicians. But how to protect yourself from paramilitary death squads?
Agenda point 3 mentions quite a few difficult (FARC) issues. Therefore it may be the most difficult one to negotiate. It mentions revisions of all FARC guerrilleros (charged or convicted) and guarantees of security. Security guarantees will be very difficult to realize. Too many actors in Colombia would like to extinguish all FARC leaders and commanders. The FARC's only 100% safe haven would be for instance Cuba. At the same time the FARC wants the government to intensify the combat against BACRIMs (paramilitaries). The intensifying is not qualified or quantified in the agenda, but because BACRIMs still have relations with the oligarchy it's obvious the FARC wants them eliminated. The past shows that this has been always very difficult because of the complexity of the Colombian armed conflict. The paramilitaries do exist as long as the FARC and have always been connected to and protected by the oligarchy. On top of that the government is asked to intensify the battle against corruption and impunity. These are all very difficult tasks, that probably would take 15-20 years to establish significant results, if not sabotaged by successive governments.
A very small agenda point with few items. My expectation is that it will not be much discussed. Remarkable is that this point doesn't mention regulation and legalization of cocaine cultivation and consumption as president Santos was suggesting to OAS members at the the Sixth Summit of the Americas that was held in Cartagena on April 14-15, 2012. The agenda mentions finding a "solution to the phenomenon of production, consumption and public health".
The other issue on the agenda is Illicit crop substitution programs. Until present most of those substitution programs have not been very effective because of the less fertility of the soil and the lack of infrastructure to bring harvests to market.
Agenda point 5 is also very small with few items. It addresses the compensation of the victims, their human rights and truth finding. In the past Colombian governments have done very little about truth finding regarding the conflict. It wasn't strategically smart because it would interfere with disinformation campaigns and warfare strategies. Naturally, truth commissions can only function after a conflict has ended and the Colombian conflict hasn't ended yet. After the demobilization efforts of the AUC paramilitary organization in 2005, a process of confessions in exchange for sentencing benefits was implemented, but failed. Thousands of individuals going through the demobilization ceremonies were simply asked to answer a handful of irrelevant questions by prosecutors. The compensation of victims will be another challenge. Law 1448 Ley de Víctimas y Restitución de Tierras 2011 (Victims and Land Restitution) was enacted January 1st 2012. The law has many shortcomings and was weakened during Santos' term. The law hasn't been very effective yet and already led to increased violence against representatives of groups that have made claims on stolen land (already 25 leaders killed). Most IDP's (Internally Displaced Persons) still live in urban slums and had to adapt their lifestyle. It's not very likely they want or even can return to their original farmland. It's also hard to proof you're a victim of land grabbing. The official IDP counts are much lower than the counts of Human Rights Organizations. Last but not least the land grab and displacement still continues, 2011 counts 100,000 new (official) IDP's, 2012 will be about the same. And how do you prove your husband was killed by the military, rebels or paramilitaries when there is no corpse and/or witnesses?
Agenda point 6 indicates quite some tough issues too. How to provide the proposed Commissions of tracking and verification with sufficient powers to guard the agreed conditions of peace? Long term International support and supervision seems inevitable, because almost all legislation, amendments and decrees regarding the Colombian conflict seemed to be badly implemented, enforced or weakened.
Legislative power in Colombia is vested in both the government and the two chambers of congress, the Senate and the House of Representatives of Colombia. President Santos' government coalition is formed by his own political party Partido Social de Unidad Nacional (47 seats), Partido Conservador Colombiano (38 seats), Partido Liberal Colombiano (37 seats) and Cambio Radical (15 seats. All together 137 out of 166 seats of the House of Representatives. However, the Uribista factions of the coalition's political parties would probably oppose new legislation as a result of the peace talks, which could jeopardize Santos' majority in congress and may even break up the coalition.
Colombia has been a State Party to the International Criminal Court since 5 August 2002. The ICC has jurisdiction over crimes against humanity and genocide committed on the territory of Colombia or by its nationals since 1 November 2002 and for war crimes from 1 November 2009 onwards. The ICC's Office of The Prosecutor (OTP) is monitoring the situation in Colombia closely. Its latest report could be found here and the OTP will certainly act if Colombian perpetrators of the crimes mentioned above are not tried in court. It is not unthinkable that even Álvaro Uribe will be tried by the ICC for his part in the "falsos positivos" case.
Álvaro Uribe:"I swear that the FARC and ELN are the terrorists!"
What will happen after the peace talks turn out to be successful? I hope I am wrong here, but I think the violence in the rural areas of Colombia will significantly increase. BACRIMs will violently and quickly take over the coca cultivation and cocaine production in the former FARC controlled areas. BACRIMs will concur each other and the campesinos will be the in-betweens, the assassinated or the extorted. A similar scenario has been seen before after several forced retreats of the FARC. As long as the North-American market demands cocaine at high prices, the Colombian conflict will be fueled with abundant monies. The BACRIMs in the rural areas of Colombia are as tough to combat as the guerrilleros. The battle against the BACRIMs will be very difficult because it is not one single organized group, but many. It is like fighting cockroaches in a kitchen. They multiply at the same rate as you exterminate them, because there is plenty of food.
If the peace talks fail, violence will increase too. The FARC will probably invade the cities again, restart bombing and take hostages. We will probably be back at square one.
Maybe the best way out here is to agree a bilateral truce and to extend the peace talks with at least another year. The Colombian society will be able to get used to the absence of FARC/Army violence which, could benefit the peace process in a positive way for both parties. Plans could be worked out better with more International support. It could be wise to agree to leave most of the guerrilleros just where they are and turn them into Policemen.
If not, the ex-guerrilleros could become ACRIMs. This has happened before, when over 2,500 fighters from the Popular Liberation Army (EPL) demobilized in 1991. Many former EPL fighters later enlisted with the AUC paramilitaries before becoming leading figures in the BACRIM and, even today, ex-EPL fighters dominate the criminal landscape.
In the mean time try to replace coca by another viable cash-crop for the campesinos, because the ex-FARC-members will not enforce coca eradication policies if there isn't another cash-crop available for the campesinos to grow, or roads to transport their products to the local market.


Mens brown dress shoes are a gem within the world of men's fashion. Contemporary design has brought in a revival of earthy tones, dark browns, and minimalist style options layering, contrasts of basic but striking colors. A well-selected pair of brown dress shoes in the right tone and style are extremely versatile while creating a stunning pairing selection with both formal and casual attire.
Black dress shoes are the go-to choice for most, however brown dress shoes often make the difference between predictable style and personality-filled fashion sense. Here, we'll be taking you through a range of color combinations, style choices and clothing pairings best suited to brown dress shoes.
When and even whether you should ever wear brown shows has long been a cause of excitable and heated debate with lots of phrases making their way into our everyday vernacular based around this very topic. You've probably all heard your grandfather say at one point, "no brown in town" or the other common phrase "no brown after six" when you yourself arrived at midday wearing yours!
It was none other than the very sartorially elegant Edward, Prince of Wales, who was in fact responsible for many of the gentlemen's fashions that we still see around today, who brought brown shoed into prominence. By the 1950s, brown shoes were getting a special mention in clothing guides of the day and had become more acceptable, with certain conditions. While black was still very much the respectable and accepted color for the evening, brown shoes had made their way into more regular daytime attire.
Thankfully, today's fashion is friendlier and less rigid in its rules and conventions, allowing you, the wearer, to take responsibility for your own decisions. With so many people today also opting for casual looks, by the sheer fact that you own and are wearing brown dress shoes, you are already a well-heeled cut above the masses and clearly know a thing or two about respectable men's fashion and shoes. The fact that you can also get brown shoes in so many different hues and shades has also added to their versatility and appropriateness for many a casual and formal occasion.
So just to quickly recap on the whole brown show debate, they can and are worn with just about anything these day. From jeans to corduroy, flannels to tweed and every trouser fabric in between, there is a place for brown shoes. The real beauty of them is that unlike a black dress shoe which is, you got it, only black, a brown dress shoe comes in a myriad of alternative shades and combinations to create something very stylish and attractive looking. You can wear them with your business suits as well as your casual suits, with a blazer or sport coat for a smart trouser combination look.
The classic color contrast of black and brown is renowned due to the simplistic style which it brings to any outfit. Try a predominantly black look, using brown dress shoes and one other brown-shaded item of clothing, such as a jacket, shirt or undercoat, to bring about a great binary contrast.
When it comes to color combinations too, brown does look very dashing teamed with a range of other colors and in particular, cuts quite the statement worn alongside red, green, khaki, tan, cream and of course all variants of light to dark browns. Brown dress shoes, then, are actually very versatile and well worth the investment. While they will never replace your black dress shoes for very formal occasions where a morning coat or stroller is required or with a black tie or tuxedo, they can be worn for pretty much any other occasion and with so many colors.
Brown dress shoes are not generally recommended for formal morning dress, where a morning coat or stroller is worn, nor for formal evening dress, such as white or black tie events, however, anyone who works in a formal office environment will find far better use out of a pair of brown dress shoes than with plain black oxfords.
Both dark and light grey suits work equally well with brown shoes. If opting for a dark grey suit, darker shades of brown are best, while lighter-grey shades such as a light charcoal or ivory work better with a light brown, or tan colored pair of dress shoes.
Be sure to only opt for a blue suit, of any shade, if you are sure that you want to stand out. The result of pairing a light brown style such as wing-tipped or tasseled Derby with a sky-blue suit and a neutral shirt is striking, to say the least. Navy is a safe bet when it comes to brown shoes. Navy suits suit almost any shade of brown.
Light-brown dress shoes pair surprisingly well with dark colored jeans, but only when you accentuate that same shade of brown with a jacket of the same color. The rustic style is great, especially when wearing a neutral-colored T-shirt. White works very well, although any earthy tone such as a light green, grey or even soft colors such as plum or pink create stunning results as well.
Dark brown dress shoes are the best match for black pants, with the elegant appeal being highlighted even more through the addition of a brown hat and/or a watch with a thick leather strap. A casual appeal can be had with any brown shoe which does not carry too high of a shine. Simply change up the color of your laces to create a pairing between your choice of color and your shoes.
Brown is not a color that you wear throughout every item of your outfit. It needs to be integrated into your other items of clothing. If wearing brown shoes, always make sure that your belt is a match for both the color and tone. It doesn't have to be exact but it should be close.
When wearing brown dress shoes as a pairing to the color of your jacket, be sure to keep the color of your shirt neutral. It is very hard to match vivid colors with brown shoes, especially in the case of casual wear, unless you repeat the color through the use of a matching hat. If you are undecided over which shade of brown to choose for any given formal suit, then go for the shade which is darker than your pants. In most cases, you can't go wrong.
A final word on what socks to wear then with your brown shoes. Really, that final stylish element is going to be determined by the rest of your outfit and more importantly, the color of your trousers but variants of blues, contrasting browns, burgundy and greens are striking sock options contrasted with your stunning brown dress shoes.
When one looks at the long-term possibilities of a good pair of brown dress shoes, the styling options are nearly endless. A high-quality pair of leather brown dress shoes can even go through a process known as patina whereby an artistic coloring is given to either new or aged shoes. This brings out the neutral colors and creates a unique contrast, accentuating what is already there. Many high-end brands even incorporate this process into their craftsmanship to deliver superior designs, perfect for upmarket events, formal occasions, and style in the workplace.
On the other end of the spectrum, single-colored brown dress shoes suit both casual and formal attire very well, making them supremely versatile. Every wardrobe needs a good pair of black Oxfords, but a few varying shades of brown dress shoes will serve you even better.

De Lancia Ypsilon (voorheen Y) is een wagen uit de economyklasse van het Italiaanse automerk Lancia. De Ypsilon verving de Autobianchi Y10, een wagen die buiten Italië voornamelijk bekendstaat onder de naam Lancia Y10. De wagen is tot 2011 alleen als driedeurs geleverd. Vanaf 2011 is het model alleen leverbaar met vijf deuren.

Zoals gebruikelijk bij het merk Lancia, is het model vooral in thuisland Italië een groot succes. Buiten Italië is het model veel exclusiever. Typerend aan de Ypsilon is de voor een stadsauto luxe uitstraling en het centraal op het dashboard gemonteerde instrumentarium.

De Ypsilon staat verder bekend om de verregaande mogelijkheden tot individualisatie, zo is de auto leverbaar in vele lakkleuren en is ook het interieur te voorzien van verschillende materialen en kleuren.

Eerste generatie Y (1996-2003)

Kenmerken

De Lancia Y werd in 1996 op de markt gebracht en was gebaseerd op de eerste generatie van de Fiat Punto. In tegenstelling tot de Punto was de Lancia Y enkel beschikbaar als driedeurs hatchback. Opvallend aan de auto zijn de vloeiende lijnen, de rondom doorlopende stootstrip en de één geheel lijkende grille/koplampen. Verder springt ook de in de B-stijl 'verstopte' handgreep in het oog.

Van binnen valt meteen het centraal gemonteerde instrumentarium op, een detail dat later typisch Ypsilon zal blijken. Het interieur is leverbaar in vele kleuren en materialen, waaronder het door Lancia zo geliefde Alcantara, maar ook lederen bekleding is te verkrijgen op de Y. Lancia bood met het Kaleidos-programma' maar liefst 100 verschillende kleurenkeuzes aan. Uniek voor dit segment in het midden van de jaren negentig.

Het aantal opties waarmee de Y kon worden uitgerust was ook bijzonder uitgebreid voor dit segment. De Y kon besteld worden met onder meer airconditioning, elektrisch schuif/kanteldak, radiobediening op het stuur, in de hoogte verstelbare chauffeurszetel en lendensteun voor de chauffeurszetel, in twee gelijke delen neerklapbare achterbank met hoofdsteunen.

Aan de hand van de Lineaccessori catalogus, kon je de Y verder personaliseren met wel 134 accessoires.
O.a. een stuurwiel met zwartkleurige Alcantarta, een stuurwiel gedeeltelijk uit hout of een met leder overtrokken stuurwiel + versnellingspookknop (voor de versies zonder bestuurdersairbag), houten versnellingsspookknop (5 versnelling), houtlook op de middenconsole en de beide ovale ventilatieroosters, opberg-/draagtas of opbergnet onder de hoedenplank, opbergtas in 2 delen tegen de rugleuning van de achterbank, zachte kofferbakbescherming, aluminium dorpelbescherming, allesdragers (de laatste drie met telkens een Lancia logo in verwerkt), spatlappen voor en achter, enzovoort.

Lancia had voor de Y de volgende motoren in het gamma opgenomen:

Motoren

Benzine

Een dieselmotor werd door Lancia nog niet geleverd in de Y, die zou pas komen bij de introductie van diens opvolger.

Transmissie
Standaard werd een 5-versnellingsbak geleverd.

De 1.2 8v LS kon ook enkele jaren verkregen worden met een 6-versnellingsbak (6 Way).

De 1.2 8v LS kon ook enkele jaren geleverd worden met een ECVT (Elektronische Continu Variabele Transmissie).

De 6-Way en de ECVT waren niet mogelijk bij de 1.4 12v en 1.2 16v.

Uitvoeringen
De Y werd geleverd in de volgende uitvoeringen:
 LE: standaard onder andere bestuurdersairbag (vanaf facelift), stuurbekrachtiging (standaard in België), centrale deurvergrendeling, elektrische ramen vóór, in kleur gespoten bumpers (vanaf facelift) en getint glas.
 LS: extra t.o.v. LE: o.a. lendensteun bestuurdersstoel, toerenteller, leeslampjes.
 LX: extra t.o.v. LS: o.a. airconditioning, lichtmetalen velgen, mistlampen vóór, verstelbaar stuur, elektrisch verstel-/verwarmbare buitenspiegels
 Elefantino Blu: standaard onder andere stuurbekrachtiging, in kleur gespoten bumpers, elektrische ramen vóór, centrale vergrendeling en speciale badge op de B-stijl
 Elefantino Rosso: standaard onder andere lederen stuurwiel, antracietkleurige lichtmetalen velgen, toerenteller, in kleur gespoten bumpers, mistlampen vóór, elektrische verstelbare en verwarmbare buitenspiegels, verlaagde grondspeling, 'close-ratio' versnellingsbak en speciale badge op de B-stijl
 Cosmopolitan: standaard onder andere lederen bekleding, lichtmetalen velgen, mistlampen vóór, radio- en cd-speler, klimaatregeling, speciale instaplijsten en verwarmbare voorstoelen
 Marie Claire:
 DoDo: o.a. Blaupunkt radio met (eenvoudig) geïntegreerd navigatiesysteem, gekleurd opzetstuk middenconsole.
 Vanity: standaard onder andere klimaatregeling, centrale vergrendeling met afstandsbediening, mistlampen vóór, twee airbags, in hoogte verstelbaar stuur/bestuurdersstoel, een speciale badge op de B-stijl en speciale exterieur accenten
 Unica: standaard onder andere airconditioning, lichtmetalen velgen, elektrische ramen vóór en speciale bekleding met witte bies
 Caprice: standaard onder andere elektrische ramen vóór, stuurbekrachtiging, lederen stuur/pook en alle exterieurdelen in kleur

'Elefantino' is het Italiaanse woord voor olifant. De oprichter van het merk, Vincenzo Lancia was gek op olifanten, vandaar ook het rode olifantje in het logo van het performance-label van Lancia, 'HF'.

Facelift 2000
In 2000 werd de Y gefacelift. Deze is te herkennen aan de heldere koplampen, grotere grille en vernieuwde voorbumper met een andere vorm voor de (eventueel optionele) mistlampen. Aan de achterkant vallen de achterlichten met heldere knipper-/achteruitrijlicht op. Ook zijn de stootstrips voortaan in carrosseriekleur uitgevoerd. Het interieur bevat andere stoelen en pook, deels veranderde middenconsole en het stuurwiel van de Lancia Lybra. Twee airbags zijn standaard en een navigatiesysteem wordt optioneel verkrijgbaar. Voortaan zijn alleen nog maar de 1.2 8v en 1.2 16v motor leverbaar en beide voldoen sindsdien aan de 'Euro3 uitstootnormen'.

De Elefantino Rosso uitvoering wordt geschrapt.

Door de jaren heen komen volgende uitvoeringen beschikbaar : Cosmopolitan, DoDo, Vanity, Unica, Marie Claire (LS en LX), Play Tennis, Caprice en LS Upgrade.

Van de Elefantino Blu worden extra series gemaakt met de toevoeging Get in tech en Junior in de naam.

In 2003 is het tijd voor de Y om plaats te maken voor zijn opvolger, die voortaan door het leven zal gaan als Ypsilon. Met meer dan 800.000 stuks is het voor Lancia een succesvolle auto geweest.

Tweede generatie Ypsilon (2003-2011)

Kenmerken

Net zoals de Y was ook de eerste Ypsilon enkel beschikbaar als driedeurs hatchback en opnieuw gebaseerd op de Fiat Punto, ditmaal de tweede generatie. De nieuwe Ypsilon werd voorzien van Lancia's nieuwe 'corporate grille', geïntroduceerd op de Lancia Thesis. Een ander ontwerp detail dat van de Thesis werd overgenomen zijn de slanke, langwerpige achterlichten.

Net zoals zijn voorganger kreeg deze generatie Ypsilon weer een centraal gemonteerd instrumentarium. Dit keer liepen de klokken niet in elkaar over, maar monteerde Lancia drie losse instrumenten onder één overkapping. Door de gebruikte typografie en de crèmekleurige achtergrond doet het instrumentarium klassiek aan. Grote verandering ten opzichte van z'n voorganger is de hooggeplaatste versnellingspook, die daardoor makkelijker bereikbaar is. Verder is het interieur typisch Lancia door de gebruikte materialen als alcantara en leder. Opnieuw zijn er veel verschillende kleuren en combinaties beschikbaar en door de standaard verschuifbare achterbank (de Ypsilon biedt plaats aan maximaal vier inzittenden) kan er gekozen worden tussen extra beenruimte of een grotere bagageruimte.

Wederom was de Ypsilon te verkrijgen met een keur aan opties die niet vanzelfsprekend zijn in dit segment, zoals een 'Bose' hifi-installatie, navigatiesysteem met kleurenscherm, gescheiden klimaat controle, glazen panoramadak 'GranLuce', cruise control, regen/-verlichtingssensor en parkeersensoren.

Uniek zijn de zogeheten B-colori-lakkleuren. Een Ypsilon voorzien van die lak bestaat namelijk uit twee verschillende kleuren. De onderzijde van de auto kon bijvoorbeeld in beige besteld worden, waarbij de bovenkant van de auto dan bordeauxrood was.

Op basis van de Ypsilon ontwikkelde Lancia de Musa, een kleine MPV. Dit was in feite een Fiat Idea met gewijzigde voor-/achterkant en interieur. Qua ontwerp hebben de Ypsilon en de Musa veel van elkaar weg, zoals de grille, ruitvormige koplampen en de slanke achterlichten.

Motoren

Benzine

Diesel

In Nederland was de 1.4 8v LPG, genaamd EcoChic, niet leverbaar. Op de 1.4 16v en de 1.3 Multijet leverde Lancia optioneel een semiautomatische versnellingsbak met vijf verzetten, genaamd DFN (Dolce Far Niente, vrij vertaald 'zalig niets doen').

Uitvoeringen
 Argento: standaard onder andere vier airbags, ABS, elektrische ramen vóór, centrale vergrendeling, verschuifbare achterbank, boordcomputer, verstelbaar stuurwiel en in hoogte verstelbare bestuurdersstoel
 Oro: extra t.o.v. Argento onder andere met leder bekleed stuur, alcantara bekleding, mistlampen vóór, een geïntegreerde radio/cd-speler en airconditioning
 Platino: extra t.o.v. Oro onder andere automatisch gescheiden airconditioning, lederen bekleding, elektrisch verstel-/verwarmbare buitenspiegels en lichtmetalen velgen

Naast deze uitvoeringen leverde Lancia nog een aantal speciale uitvoeringen, waaronder de Passion (2003), B-Colore (vanaf 2004), MomoDesign (2005), Limited Edition (2006), Momo Sport (2007), ModaMilano (2008), Versace (200?), Versus (2009), Elle (2010) en Unyca (2011).

Black & Ivory en Glamour (2004) : enkel in Zwitserland.

Diva (2011) : enkel in Italië.

Sport Zagato (2005) : prototype op het salon van Genève, niet in productie genomen.

Facelift 2006
In 2006 gaf Lancia de Ypsilon een kleine facelift. Deze is te herkennen aan de licht gewijzigde voor-/achterbumper, luchtinlaat onder de vernieuwde grille en de witgekleurde achterlichten. Ook werd het motorgamma gewijzigd. Lancia kon de Ypsilon voortaan ook leveren met het zogeheten Blue&Me bluetoothsysteem. Deze kan ook inkomende sms'jes voorlezen. Later werd het model nog voorzien van het nieuwe Lancia-logo.

In 2010 werd de benaming Argento en Oro vervangen door Silver en Gold.

Alhoewel in 2011 de derde generatie Ypsilon leverbaar werd, bouwde Lancia de tweede generatie nog even door. Enerzijds als goedkoper instapmodel, anderzijds omdat de Sicilaanse fabriek later gesloten zou worden en dus de nieuwe Ypsilon niet meer zou gaan bouwen. De productie daarvan verhuisde naar Polen.

Derde generatie Ypsilon (2011-heden)

Kenmerken

In 2011 kwam Lancia met een nieuwe Ypsilon en presenteerde deze op het Autosalon van Genève. Deze derde generatie is gebaseerd op het Fiat Mini platform, wat onder meer ook wordt gebruikt voor de Fiat Panda, de Fiat 500 en de Ford Ka. Wel heeft Lancia de wielbasis wat vergroot, zodat de Ypsilon een halve klasse boven de 500 opereert. In april van 2011 nam Lancia de nieuwe Ypsilon in productie in een Fiat-fabriek in Tychy, Polen. Daarmee is naast de Phedra de nieuwe Ypsilon een van de eerste modellen die niet in Italië worden geproduceerd, al zijn daar nu de Thema, Voyager en de Flavia bij gekomen. Dat betekent dat, als in 2012 de Musa uit productie gaat, de Lancia Delta de enige nog in Italië geproduceerde Lancia zal zijn. Dankzij de alliantie met Chrysler kan Lancia de Ypsilon nu ook in het Verenigd Koninkrijk en Ierland aanbieden, al zal dat dus onder de merknaam Chrysler gebeuren. De vorige generaties werden niet gebouwd voor linksrijdende landen.

Het eerste dat opvalt aan de derde generatie is dat het model voortaan met vijf deuren te verkrijgen is en dat is voor het eerst in de historie van het model. De driedeurs krijgt geen vervolg en daarom werd het vorige model nog even door gebouwd na de introductie van het huidige model (zie hierboven). Om het model nog wel als een driedeursauto te laten ogen, heeft Lancia de handgreep van de achterportieren in de C-stijl verstopt. Verder beschikt het model over een deels zwart gemaakte achterklep, zoals te vinden op z'n grotere broer Delta.

Het interieur is qua basisopzet gelijk aan dat van z'n voorganger en dat betekent dus dat het instrumentarium weer centraal op het dashboard geplaatst is en dat de versnellingspook op een verhoging staat. Het stuurwiel is bekend van de Delta en is wederom optioneel te verkrijgen met knoppen voor bediening van de autoradio. Het optionele navigatiesysteem is voortaan niet meer een in het dashboard geïntegreerd systeem, maar een draagbare TomTom die is vast te klikken op een uitsparing aan de A-stijl. Andere verkrijgbare opties zijn een semiautomatisch parkeersysteem 'Magic Parking', cruise control, automatische airconditioning, parkeersensoren, xenon-verlichting en een 'GranLuce' panoramadak.

Net zoals de tweede generatie is de Ypsilon te bestellen met B-colore lak en zijn er verschillende materialen voor het interieur leverbaar.

Uniek is de 0.9 Twinair tweecilinder turbomotor waarmee de Ypsilon kan worden uitgerust. Volgens Lancia zou deze maar 4,2 liter per 100 kilometer verbruiken (99 g/km CO2) en daarmee is het model in Nederland vooralsnog wegenbelastingvrij te rijden.

Alle Ypsilons hebben verder een 'Smart fuel system' dat voorkomt dat er verkeerde brandstof getankt kan worden en ledverlichting achter.

Motoren

Benzine

Benzine / Mild Hybride

Diesel

Alle Ypsilons worden standaard uitgerust met een start-stopsysteem (uitgezonderd de CNG-versie in België) en een handmatige transmissie met 5 versnellingen vooruit. Op de Hybrid is er een versnellingsbak met 6 versnellingen vooruit.

De 0.9 Twinair, 1.2 8v Fire benzine en de 1.3 Multijet zijn enkele jaren optioneel te verkrijgen met een semiautomatische transmissie, genaamd DFN.

De Mild Hybride is in de vorm van het elektronische BSG (Belt integrated Starter Generator). De regeneratie energie wordt opgeslagen in een lithiumaccu met een capaciteit van 11 Ah. Het elektrisch vermogen is maximaal 3.600 W.

De Global Small Engine, meestal afgekort tot GSE, wordt gecommercialiseerd als FireFly.

De Small Gasoline Engine (SGE) wordt gecommercialiseerd als TwinAir.

De Fully Integrated Robotised Engine is gekend onder zijn naam FIRE.

Dice & Bricks
No Comments on Dice & Bricks
I always love it when two of my interests converge, so I was incredibly excited when Lego announced they'd be releasing a D&D set to coincide with the game's 50th anniversary. Lots of folks have dreamed of such a pairing of these two nerd hobbies, and fans have created countless unofficial builds; there's even a Lego D&D subreddit! But an official product was always hampered by the fact that D&D's current corporate owner, Hasbro, has its own modular construction toy in the form of Kre-O, whose D&D tie in sets never seemed to get into the mainstream. Apparently, the big profits that Hasbro got from D&D (and Magic: the Gathering) since the pandemic convinced them to partner with their sometimes rival, though, leading to an official contest on the Lego Ideas site.
Lego is not a stranger to partnering with big brands (most of their sets seem to leverage some IP or another these days…) They even branched into the world of gaming, with a whole Lego Games theme released for a few years in the early 2010s. The theme did not catch on, but it did produce a series of adventure games called Heroica. Not really D&D, these were more like the HeroQuest boardgame, where you would choose a character like a mage or barbarian with a set special and explore a map filled with monsters and treasure. Being Lego, though, the "board" were infinitely customizable; not only could you mix and combine the different Heroica games, you could bring in the rest of your Lego collection, only limited by your number of jumpered base plates! I bought a few of the sets when they came out, but due to their complex set up, I was only able to play them a few times with my adult friends.
Then, I had children.
It all started one blustery summer day when the family was huddled in the basement on account of a tornado warning, a not uncommon occurrence in the Midwest. Sitting around, waiting for the storm to pass, we were right next to our big shelf of boardgames (which every nerd household has, I assume). My oldest son, not quite 4, had just gotten a few easy-to-build Lego sets, his first "little Legos" after mastering Duplo bricks. Well, when he saw that there was a Lego game that HE HIMSELF could build, well, he was hooked.
Giant Lego mountain not included
As I've wrote about elsewhere, I've tried a number of different RPG and RPG-adjacent games with my kids, but I hadn't thought of Heroica until then. MY son likes boardgames, but any RPG games that focused on grid-combat seemed a bit much for a young attention span, so I'd stuck with games that focused more on story: a StoryGuider hack, Amazing Tales, and the Cypher system game No Thank You Evil! All of these games are great, by the way, and I highly recommend them. Heroica added something to the mix. Instead of just lines on a paper, here were spaces and paths, a real easy way to get into the miniature aspects of roleplaying games. Awesome!
Now, I have also written at length about some of the educational aspects of roleplaying games, from literacy to math skills, but for my own quite young kids, what I love the most is how it fires imaginations and flexes those creative muscles. I found that the story heavy games worked best when kids have an input into the larger world and its story. And for a tactical game, Heroica offered that too. As much as we have played the game, we have spent much more time just making different maps.
I do wish that Lego had rebooted Heroica for the D&D tie in; but my idea didn't quite make the second round. Still, I find the contest an interesting look at what makes the essence of D&D, in order to make an official D&D Lego set. Part of it is the "official" IP monsters, like Beholders and Mimics, of which there are many. Part is the actual stuff of play, from the books themselves to DM screens or dice towers. But for many of the submissions, the theme was: modularity! The ability to remix, infinitely, is perhaps the greatest commonality between Lego and D&D.

NE Iowa Teen Dies in Clayton County Traffic Accident
Roger King
Roger King Published: February 19, 2018
kadmy-ThinkStock
A two-vehicle accident in Clayton County has taken the life of a Greeley teenager.
It happened shortly after 11pm Friday (Feb. 16) at the intersection of Littleport Road and East Mission Road, northwest of Edgewood.
A car driven by 20-year-old Kory Doeppke of Elkader failed to stop at the stop sign, and was struck by a pickup driven by 31-year-old Sean Chopard of Edgewood.
One of the passengers, 16-year-old Brady Edwards of Greeley, was ejected and died at the scene. Another passenger, 15-year-old Tori Bolsinger of Edgewood, was taken to a local hospital to be treated for minor injuries. 16-year-old Izaiah Drinkwater of Manchester was ejected; he and Doeppke were taken to University Hospitals in Iowa City, in critical condition. Chopard was not hurt.
The accident remains under investigation by the Clayton County Sheriff's Office.

Northeastern Iowa School Delays and Closures (1/19/23)


The last step in laying a tile floor is applying and sealing the grout. After the tile adhesive has set, apply grout to the joints using a rubber float. Grout comes in a variety of colors, but darker grout tends to show less stains. Stainproof grout is also available, though it isn't as easy to work with as regular grout.
Once the grout has dried, apply a grout sealer to the joints to prevent stains from occurring. If grout is stained already, use a grout stain pen to make the grout a uniform color.
However, we have seen tinted sealers that look like paint, so perhaps that's the product your friend's sister used.
We do recommend following the tips in this video for a professional-grade installation.
Is there a paint that would do a better job of sealing white grout than the grout sealers on the market today? I've read the reviews and people have said they needed to apply the sealers two or three times before it actually seals the grout. My friend said her sister used a paint over her floor grout and it worked. Is this a plastic based paint, instead of the water or oil based grout sealers? A chemist friend of mine said it is probably a plastic based paint which doesn't allow any open spaces for stains to get in.
The grout on my bathroom tile is cracking and coming up. I don't believe it was sealed properly. I would like to get this re-grouted but don't know if I can get someone to do it and am a little nervous about doing it myself.

New Civil Engineer reports on WLR's 'two-for-one' solution for Heathrow
New Civil Engineer magazine reports (£) on WLR's two-for-the-price-of-one proposal, combining works from west and south of the airport.
Windsor Link Railway (WLR) has put forward a proposal to roll the WRLtH and SRLtH schemes into one, dramatically reducing the cost of the works estimated at £2.3bn by Network Rail.
WLR managing director George Bathurst told New Civil Engineer how its proposal to link up sections of existing track could cut the combined price tag of both projects in half.
"We'll be bidding to provide a two-for-one solution," said Bathurst. "It's really helpful for us that the government is now focussing on output rather than particular technical solutions, that they're considering western and southern access at the same time because previously those schemes have always been looked at sequentially."
Bathurst said WLR's proposals would cost under £1.5bn, and would be funded through passenger use and property developments in Windsor built during Phase 1.
