If you're thinking of picking up the game of golf, you may find the costs prohibitive. One of the major cost items you need for the game is a set of clubs, which can range into thousands of dollars. Clubs that don't come from brand-name manufacturers are significantly cheaper. Knowing about the clone-club market, and how marketing costs impact the price of brand-name clubs can make your choice easier.
Cheap golf clubs may not be no-name or clone brands. You can find good, used clubs at online auction sites and second-hand resellers. In addition, regular players often trade-in their clubs, making a used set of good clubs available at a reasonable price. If you're new to the sport, don't assume you have to invest a great deal in clubs. Your swing and style are very likely to change as you mature in your knowledge of the sport and refine your technique.
An editorial on Golf Club Clone states that the equipment in a pro player's bag is part of a weekly count used by brand-name manufacturers to incent players that use their brand. The idea behind the incentive is to help sell a particular driver, iron, putter or other club to amateur golfers who see the pros using that equipment. Golf Club Clone.com suggests that the brand-name manufacturers often increase the costs of golf clubs to recoup the expense of getting pro players to use the equipment.
Most brand-name manufacturers are relatively new entrants in the market of golf club -- most entered the market about 20 years ago -- while many lesser known brands are still striving to enter this very competitive market. However, because golf club manufacturers patent their design, you can't get an exact copy of a brand-name club, even if you buy a club that's billed as a clone of a better-known brand. As a result, you can't make a direct comparison between a set of brand-name clubs and its cheaper counterpart. If it's important to your mental game to have a particular brand in your bag, buy that brand, but if you simply need a set of clubs to get you started, don't unnecessarily overspend.
Regardless of who manufactures your clubs, look for a few items to ensure you're getting good quality. Club heads should be made of stainless steel, carbon steel or beta titanium. Avoid clubs that include zinc or a composite of aluminum and steel; these types of clubs are generally made for junior sets and some beginner sets, but the club heads can't withstand play for very long. Clubs that are molded in casts are less expensive. Forged clubs will cost more. The quality of the manufacturing process is key, and brand-name manufacturers are purported to having tighter control of their quality. If you don't want to invest in more expensive clubs, look for brands that offer a warranty. If you're new, don't pay extra for a custom fit, wait until your game has matured and you're ready to invest in a set you'll have for a longer time period.

Pring: Everyman's Social Network
By Ghalia Mirza
You don't draw the attention of Red Herring, a leading global magazine on technological innovations, unless you are as promising as Google, Facebook, Twitter, Skype, or eBay, to name a few.
So when Pring won the Red Herring 2012 Asia Top 100, and then the Red Herring 2012 Top 100 Global award, it was a milestone for Pakistan. The due to its innovative use of technology, entrepreneurial edge, and the difference it has made to cellular communication in a short while. There's no looking back.
The social media revolution is taking place a little differently in Pakistan than the developed world. You need an internet connection to log on to major social networks. Only about 16% of Pakistan has an internet connection available. But almost 63% of Pakistanis do have a mobile subscription (PTA).
Clearly, mobiles reign when it comes to connecting with others.
A mobile phone has come a long way from just a device for making calls. It is now our constant companion. The first thing you'll see when we get up and the last thing you look at before going to sleep is your mobile phone.
We're relying on it more than ever to socialize and find out what's going on around you.
WHAT IS PRING
Pring is a mobile and social network that is accessible through the web, SMS, and the mobile app, which has more than 5 million people across the country, a user-base that is growing by the day.
This opens up 120 million mobile users to social and business opportunities that were out of reach before. Circles of friends can comment on updates and start a conversation. Professionals can stay in touch. People from big cities, small cities, rural areas, urban areas alike, are able to create and join communities of shared interests or a cause.
There are 18 to 20 million conversations happening on Pring every day. News, sports, books, religion, celebrities, you name the topic and chances are a debate is taking place right now. Instead of waiting to get access to the internet and accessing a social network to see what your friends and family are up to, Pring lets you connect and communicate with them anytime, anywhere.
The best part is that texting was always there. It's 'mainstream' and everyone knows how to use it.
What Pring has done is open a gateway for mobile users to connect to a bigger world through a secure platform.
PRING – BRIDGING THE GAP
Pring's philosophy is that unhindered communication is the right to every individual. That's whether you are on a smartphone, a feature phone (that only has SMS capability) or the internet. Communication on these three platforms is seamlessly integrated with each other through Pring.
"You should be able to socialize, access information and services on any device, anywhere" Nash, the founder of Pring, said.
"Whether you have a smartphone or basic cellular devices that can only take calls and send SMS, it's important that you stay connected to information and services."
IT TAKES LESS THAN A MINUTE TO JOIN
To become a part of Pring, all you have to do is log on to the website and sign up by entering your email address and your mobile phone number. You can also join by sending an SMS from your mobile phone to 9900.
You can invite friends by entering their mobile phone numbers or search for communities, celebrities, or brands and choose whoever you'd like to follow. Pring's Public Feed is a live feed with the most recent updates by public communities or businesses.
You will receive updates on your mobile phone from people you are following. The choice to stop the conversation, or stop Pring is given each time. You can make a status update from your mobile phone or your homepage on Pring. It will go to everyone who is following you.
THE POWER OF MOBILE
It's fascinating to see how mobiles can bring great numbers of people together.
At the 3-day annual Softcom event at GIK University in 2012, Pring was used to alert hundreds of students around the campus of the many activities going on at the same time.
When the issue of a separate Seraiki province in Pakistan was a hot topic, 20,000 people on Pring were asked to participate in a survey, asking whether it should come into existence. An overwhelming response poured through in a matter of hours.
The dengue fever that broke out across the country in 2011 prompted hundreds of Pringers to turn into citizen journalists. They texted in the names and locations of people around them who had been afflicted with the disease. This information was collected to give a clear picture of which areas were most affected.
The BBC recently published a report about a study group on Pring that helps students with questions on several subjects. It also gives students tips on how to take college examinations, all through SMS. The community, called D-study was started by two MBBS students, Mehsim Samir and Waqar Karim. It has now grown to include hundreds of students and teachers, eager to educate and help others get into the college of their dreams.
PRING FOR BUSINESS
Businesses are always keen to be where consumers are. And when Pakistanis embraced Pring, corporations such as Coca Cola, TCS Connect, and Telenor, were as enthusiastic to integrate it in their strategies.
P&G's Ariel racked up publicity around its TV program 'Ariel Maa' by engaging followers with stories about motherhood. Thousands of people responded to by sending in anecdotes and shout-outs to moms.
When Chughtai's Lab wanted a meaningful, one-on-one connection with patients, Pring was the network they turned to.
Sprite used Pring to spread its Cricket Next campaign on a scale wider than ever before, getting hundreds of thousands of registrations through it. Followers were sent texts to alert them about where the campaign was headed next, get their feedback, and create a relationship.
Pring's has features that are especially made for businesses. Mobile ads, mobile coupons, promoted account, and sponsored accounts all work to put businesses in front of the right consumer.
Mobile ads may be the most powerful marketing tool yet. Brands can create guaranteed top of mind in a single go, reaching each consumer individually and taking advertising to new heights.
Text marketing doesn't act alone. With traditional marketing. Pring has been integrated smoothly in 360 degree advertising campaigns that include outdoors, TV and radio.
PRIVACY COMES FIRST
Mobile marketing is a flight that has just taken off. Our mobile is the most personal device we own. Given its private nature, mobile marketing must be tread upon very carefully. Pring's main goal is to respect that privacy.
Push messaging? Don't even think about it. Spamming or spraying bulk messages to millions of users in one go is the kind of thing Pring is working against.
It's about a forming a long-term, two-way relationship and actually engaging users, rather than just gaining followers. A mobile user must give his or her consent before receiving messages from any business.
Pring always gives users the choice of 'opting out'. You can stop receiving messages at any time. Privacy settings let users control who sees their information and updates and who can follow them. A mobile app version of Pring has just been developed to be used on smartphones.
HISTORY OF PRING
The idea of Pring was pieced together slowly over a span of about 3 years by founder and Chief Technology Officer (CTO) of Pring, Muhammad Nasrullah aka Nash, a graduate of Ghulam Ishaq Khan Institute (GIKI).
Working at the telecommunications giant Ericsson, Nash felt there was a gaping separation between entrepreneurs and millions of consumers.
After much trial and error, Pring final came into existence in May 2009, and has been growing phenomenally since then, crossing five million users in 2013.
Two of the world's largest social networks, Facebook with 10 million users in Pakistan and Twitter with almost two million, have been in the country for nearly seven years. Pring is four years old with more than 5 million users.
This is just the beginning for Pring. The future holds endless possibilities. Booking an airline or a movie theater ticket through SMS, automatically receiving a text message coupon as soon as you walk in a store, getting directions, accessing information from the web without actually logging on to the internet; these are all ideas the Pring team is working on to bring to life.
Using a mobile is simple, inexpensive, and popular, which is just the right mix of ingredients for a gadget to become an integral part of our lives.
Pring has refined and enhanced the meaning of SMS, bringing the whole world right to your fingertips.

Home » Size Guides » What is The Best 65 Inch 4K TV?
I'm going to help you answer what is the best 65 inch 4K TV, but we need to establish some ground rules. This size of TV will be well priced, but even that means these smart TVs will be expensive. I speak more on this below, but be warned that a TV this large can be quite expensive.
The distance away your TV will sit means a lot about how good of an experience you'll have when viewing the TV. This is called immersion.
A more immersive experience is a very good thing. This leads to being lost in the movie, TV show, or sports that you're watching. It means a great deal and there's a beautiful science to it all.
The current rule of thumb is that a little too big is much better than a little too small, but speak in more detail on this topic in another article that you can find here.
What is the Best Budget for a TV?
At the end of the day the best budget for a TV comes down to your personal preference. If you cannot find yourself wanting to spend 1000 dollars on a TV, but someone else can, that means we have to good budgets for two different people.
The biggest piece of advice I can offer is to find the model of TV you prefer first. Regardless of sizes offered, make sure a TV is going to offer the features you are interested in. Granted the best 65 inch TVs offer some great options, but that is besides the point.
Finding a model first is key because often times that model will offer a range of sizes. This means you can then find a size that fits your living space or fits your needs. This way the size isn't the only thing you enjoy about the TV.
Once you cracked the code of the models and sizes of those models you enjoy. You can then eliminate TVs that just don't make the cut. It's a simple process and makes for a easy experience when shopping around.
What Does Your Budget Dollars Buy?
In very simple terms, your budget can buy you a lot.
Especially if you are interested in a large TV such as the 65 inch TVs are.
Like mentioned before, TV models offer a range of sizes which means the features are tend to be found over a broad spectrum, but immersion is kept relative to the size of the TV as also mentioned before.
So the real features you can expect from a 65 inch TV are often very good.
This doesn't cover everything as many TVs are different and come from different manufacturers, but I hope that helps.
Now you've figured everything out and understand what you're getting yourself into. Without further ado, below are the best 65 inch TVs. There was quite a lot of research done, so let me know what you think in the comments below.
In terms of sheer performance, the LG C7 is the clear cut winner as the best 65 inch TV. It has an insane handle on motion with a wonderful picture thanks the OLED technology. Not to mention some cool smart features with the WebOS smart platform. If you have the cash, this is the TV for you.
The LG B6 boasts similar features to its older brother the LG C7, but you'll be saving yourself some cash by hauling the LG B6. Still an impressive handle on motion and a beautiful picture thanks to the same OLED technology. The smart platform is also the same as well. It's just that being last years model makes for some cool savings on these insane 65 inch TVs.
Based on all the TVs I've handled the Sony X900E remains one of the clear cut winners in many categories for a reason. It under cuts the competition in most price ranges all while offering value that the same competition cannot offer at a similar price. The X900E has a insane handle on motion that no LED TV has and offers a stunning picture that TVs do not offer unless they are an OLED TV. The smart features are its largest flaw, but are overlooked once past the simple menus. If the first two TVs did not do it for you, this one will.
The best TVs are not always the biggest, but they almost always tend to be. I hope I helped widdle down your choices to just the TVs you're interested in without too much trouble. If you're interested in the full lineup of 65 inch TVs I've reviewed, you can check them out here. Thanks and have a good day!


However it may seem, getting your website noticed by search engines is not the ultimate aim of a digital marketing agency. Before you begin with the cumbersome process of comparing various companies, and finding the best SEO Agency or Web Design Agency, you will need to outline the scope of your work. Many companies and professionals also offer e-mail marketing services which have proven to be very effective due to the large number of people who have mail ids.

Why Bloomberg is Right to Run
Sukhayl Niyazov 0 December 23, 2019 11:25 am
Moderate Left Bias
This article has moderate left bias with a bias score of -62.96 from our political bias detecting A.I.
Contributor on The Bipartisan Press
After months of hesitation, former NYC mayor and billionaire Michael Bloomberg has announced his intention to run for the President of the United States in 2020. The decision has already attracted much attention, from both the left and right, and it seems like Bloomberg is being attacked from all sides of the American political spectrum.
The Left sees in him another rich, old, white, male Wall Street billionaire. For some progressives, being a representative of even one of these categories is enough to draw hostility, not to mention when they are all combined in one person.
In the interim, for the right, Bloomberg is just another leftist violating Second Amendment rights and climate change crusader. Yet, for all the polarizing ire directed against Michael Bloomberg, at such a pivotal point in the history of the United States, he is the only Democrat not only capable of beating Trump in 2020 but also addressing America's modern challenges pragmatically and by forging bipartisanship and uniting the country.
According to the set of surveys by The New York Times Upshot and Siena College, among registered voters, only former vice-president Joe Biden leads incumbent President Donald Trump in six battleground states. Bernie Sanders is deadlocked with the president, whereas another Democratic presidential hopeful, Elizabeth Warren, wins only one state over Trump.
"Even as we push the envelope and we are bold in our vision we also have to be rooted in reality. The average American doesn't think we have to completely tear down the system and remake it," said former President Barack Obama in his recent meeting with wealthy Democratic donors.
Though he did not mention any candidates by name, it could be easily inferred that many of Warren and Sanders's proposals, such as Medicare for All, free college tuition, and massive wealth and income taxes on the rich, are too radical for an average American.
While appealing to the core Democratic electorate, politicians advocating these ideas, as could be seen from the polls, will hand over victory to Trump in the general election. At the same time, Joe Biden, despite being appealing to many constituencies and so far beating Trump in national polls, can't escape the Ukraine scandal, regardless of whether or not he and his son are innocent, after impeachment trial goes to Senate.
Furthermore, Donald Trump is likely to use the case of Ukraine to smear his opponent, even if the accusations are unfounded — this is not to mention Biden's age problems, such as forgetting in which state he is on the stage.
Bloomberg is disliked by ultra-left progressives, but he could win over some moderate Republicans and centrists. Some might object that he will lose people that would have otherwise voted for Sanders and Warren.
However, in today's increasingly polarized political environment, many people will likely vote for Bloomberg, just for not being Trump. A three-term mayor of the financial capital of the world, Bloomberg has considerable executive experience. A self-made man and financier, he understands economics and its intricacies.
These factors may be significant campaign assets in the general elections, but might undermine his chances of winning the Democratic nomination, where politicians are becoming more and more hostile towards the private sector. Because of Bloomberg's unpopularity among Democrats, there is a chance that he loses Democratic primary.
However, with President Trump's approval ratings being under 50%, Bloomberg might succeed in attracting centrist moderates who, while disliking Trump personally, support his economic policies and are ambivalent about progressives' sweeping agenda.
If Democrats truly want to win in 2020 and stop Trump's derailing of America's fundamental democratic institutions and his assault on principles on which the U.S. was founded, they need to elect a centrist candidate capable of tackling rising polarization and partisanship on the American political scene.

Featured Condo › Sentosa Cove bungalow market picks up
Sentosa Cove bungalow market picks up
Activity in Sentosa Cove's bungalow market has picked up considerably in the last four to six weeks, following a relatively dry period following last December's introduction of the additional buyer's stamp duty (ABSD) targeting foreign buying of residential properties.
BT understands that owners have issued options to buyers for about a dozen homes in the past two months. The buyers are predominantly foreigners, mostly China nationals.
These bungalows are said to include two homes on Pearl Island, both of which sold at $2,200-plus per sq ft on land area. A unit on Paradise Island went for about $22 million or slightly over $2,380 psf based on land area of 9,236 sq ft; a property on Coral Island changed hands at $16.5 million or $1,743 psf on land area of 9,464 sq ft.
A seafronting property at Cove Grove boasting views of the Southern Islands is believed to have been sold for around $26 million, or $2,600 psf. This is in the neighbourhood of the one BT Weekend reported on Sept 15 as being sold for around $24 million or $2,470 psf.
The same edition of BT also reported two transactions on Cove Drive for units facing the waterway and Tanjong Golf Course at $15-plus million each. One was sold to a Myanmar citizen at $15.3 million or $2,202 psf.
Since then, BT has learnt of another purchase of a property a little further away on the same road, but also facing the waterway and golf course. The price is thought to be $16.8 million or $2,308 psf.
Homes on Sentosa Cove have 99-year leasehold tenure.
Market watchers attribute the recent revival in both viewings and transactions to a cocktail of factors - the stockmarket run-up, which in turn has boosted sentiment, QE3 and a narrowing in the bid-ask gap that kickstarted the first few deals in the latest resurgence.
A point to note, however, is that while there is anecdotal evidence of a string of options for bungalow purchases in the upscale waterfront housing district being granted in recent weeks, evidence of caveats is relatively scarce, as most of the options have yet to be exercised by the buyers.
Caveats were lodged for six Sentosa Cove bungalow purchases in the first half of this year, followed by two more since then. This compares with 25 caveats for the whole of last year.
Sources suggest some foreign buyers may have sought longer than the standard two-week option period with a view to securing Singapore permanent resident (PR) status in a bid to lower their stamp duty outlay.
In addition to the 3 per cent standard buyer's stamp duty payable for all property purchases in Singapore, including those by Singapore citizens, a Singapore PR pays a 3 per cent ABSD for his second and subsequent residential property purchases here.
For non-PR foreigners, a 10 per cent ABSD is payable on all residential property purchases.
Hence, if a foreigner obtains PR status, he would be able to "save" 7 per cent on ABSD, or $1.4 million on a $20 million bungalow purchase on Sentosa Cove, assuming he already owns an existing non-landed residential property here.
But if this PR does not own any other existing residential property here, he does not have to pay ABSD at all - translating to a "saving" of 10 per cent or $2 million.
Word on the Cove is that some foreign buyers have been granted long option periods ranging from six weeks to three months, or even longer. In exchange for this, owners would typically demand a higher option fee, say 5 to 10 per cent of the property price, compared with one per cent in a standard deal.
Typically, a buyer in the resale market who fails to exercise an option would have to forfeit the option deposit.
Some owners who have entered into such deals on Sentosa Cove are keeping their fingers crossed that the options will be exercised.
Market watchers note that the Singapore authorities have tightened criteria for issuing PR status to high-net-worth foreigners.
On unit land price, the highest price achieved this year is $2,787 psf in May, for a seafronting property along Cove Drive.
The record price for a bungalow in Sentosa Cove was set in October 2010, by a seafronting property on Ocean Drive facing Singapore's city container ports. It transacted at $2,989 psf. Among waterway fronting bungalows, the highest price achieved was in September last year - $2,613 psf for a property on Cove Drive.
The recent run-up in deals and QE3 have boosted confidence among some owners, who have started to raise asking prices.

Crews continued their cleanup Sunday of PCB-tainted mineral oil leaking into the Columbia River from a transformer at The Dalles Dam.
The leak, first reported Thursday, involves an undetermined amount of oil from a transformer on the powerhouse's roof. The transformer's capacity is 6,000 gallons, but authorities said it had been partially drained for winter maintenance.
The oil leak is the latest in a series of dam-related spills that have frustrated wildlife organizations and state and federal regulators.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, which operates dams on the Columbia and Snake rivers, has been implicated in 35 oil spills of varying quantities during the past five years. Nearly half the spills have been reported at Bonneville Dam.
Although state agencies in Oregon and Washington have issued violation notices to the corps over past spills, it says states have no authority over the operations of its generators and related equipment.
A corps spokesman said Thursday's leak apparently resulted from the previous week's freezing temperatures, which cracked water-filled cooling pipes.
The leak has caused oil spotting as far downstream as Bonneville Dam and sent a mileslong sheen of oil downriver. The only known wildlife kill has been the discovery of more than 180 dead shad in The Dalles Dam's slot gates.
Wildlife crews searched this weekend for dead and injured birds, finding none related to the spill.
Bob Sallinger, urban conservation director of the Audubon Society of Portland, said that was not surprising, given that birds would tend to become coated with oil and die quickly in hiding from hypothermia.
"There are thousands of birds out there," he said. "There's no question that on a spill of this size there will be impacts for them, direct and indirect."
Joye Redfield-Wilder, a Washington Department of Ecology spokeswoman, said recovery operations had resulted in about 600 gallons of mineral oil being recaptured near the dam.
Although oil containing PCBs -- polychlorinated biphenyls -- has been banned for more than two decades, the mineral oil inside the dam's transformers has become contaminated through its contact with machinery predating the ban. PCBs can cause cancer and damage the immune and reproductive systems of humans and wildlife.
Redfield-Wilder said a consultant's analysis last year determined that the PCB content of the transformer's mineral oil ranged from 5 parts per million to 9 parts per million.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has determined that a transformer is technically considered PCB-contaminated at levels higher than 50 parts per million.


Javier Patino's 2000 Pontiac Trans Am sits on the pavement of US-190 West after another vehicle pulled in front of him (Trooper Ramey Bass also pictured).
Failure to Yield, 2 Hospitalized by Corner Shell, LIVINGSTON, July 28, 2012 - At approximately 12:15 pm on July 28, 2012, Javier Patino, 54, of Livingston, was east-bound on US-190 West.

2018 Kia Optima Hybrid Review - Boasting civil rights among crossbreeds commonly come down to a matter of merely a few kilometers each gallon in the Environmental Protection Agency rankings. This seems like a quite approximate statistics provided the outdated "your mileage could differ" please note, but gas economy is however a significant measurement for the engineers, online marketers, and also consumers of these thrifty machines.
One of hybrid mid-size cars, the Kia Optima combination cannot state best-in-class gas mileage-- that respect comes from the Honda Accord combination, which accomplishes 48 mpg mixed compared with the Kia's 42 mpg. The 46-mpg Chevrolet Malibu combination likewise defeats the Optima, while others in this particular lesson, including the Ford Blend combination and the Hyundai Sonata SE hybrid (the Optima's business relative), connect the Kia in the authorities's testing.
You can't charge Kia developers of not hitting the mark in creating this second-generation Optima combination, however. Its own thoroughly upgraded gas-electric powertrain flaunts many enhancements over the previous device, and its own fuel economic condition works with a large dive off the outbound style's 37-mpg combined score. That's due to an even more effective 2.0-liter Atkinson-cycle four-cylinder engine that switches out the previous 2.4-liter device; a somewhat higher-capacity, 1.6-kWh lithium-ion electric battery pack; and also an extra strong, 50-hp power motor.
While a lot of other crossbreed devices use continually changeable automatic transmissions (CVTs), the Kia matches its 2.0-liter four-cylinder with a typical six-speed automated, along with the electrical motor and also a link replacing the torque converter. This somewhat unconventional configuration pays in regards to refinement, as that stays clear of the droning sensation current in lots of other crossbreeds when the powertrain is actually tasked along with emergency acceleration.
One more remarkable component from Kia's hybrid body is actually the way the electric battery pack matches perfectly under the back backside. Using this positioning, the Optima's trunk procedures THIRTEEN cubic feet, bigger than the 12 cubic feet located in the Blend crossbreed or even the Malibu crossbreed (however 2.5 dices under the gasoline-only Optima). The Optima crossbreed also sustains the 60/40 split-folding rear backside, which gives a broad pass-through for larger products.
As it remains in the typical Optima, the combination's guest chamber is 2018 Kia Optima Hybrid a rewarding location to hang out. That flaunts great match and also appearance, an easy-to-use command style, as well as pleasant chairs main and back. Apple CarPlay and also Android Auto connection are actually typical, and also alternatives including a scenic sunroof, warmed natural leather seats, and a Harman/Kardon stereo develop a fee character.
With 192 complete horsepower hauling a little even more weight compared to in the typical version, the Optima hybrid does not feel considerably quicker compared to the regular four-cylinder, although the quick torque coming from the electricity motor carries out aid make it much more receptive when merging or passing. The cars and truck's dynamics are actually mainly unmodified from the basic Optima, with correct steering, well-controlled physical body motions, as well as a silent log cabin. The only free offer that you are actually piloting a combination is the spongy and also hazy brake-pedal feeling, a popular sore spot in combinations due to the trouble of combinationing regenerative as well as rubbing braking bodies. There additionally are numerous eco-focused food selections and displays readily available in the tool cluster as well as dash panel display screens for those who are skewed to hypermile their Kias.
Kia's focus on market value has 2018 Kia Optima Hybrid relaxed since late, as confirmed by this crossbreed. While it begins at a desirable $26,845 ($3595 lower than the bottom Accord crossbreed), that is actually for a pretty sparsely outfitted style without things like power seats or even blind-spot alert. A loaded Optima EX crossbreed like the one our experts steered crests $37,000, which is virtually $6000 much more than an equivalently equipped Optima EX-SPOUSE with a 2.4-liter engine. That's a hard supplement to eat, particularly when fuel economicals-- a headwind that automakers offering energized cars are fighting now.
Past the rate costs, nonetheless, the Optima hybrid requirements few compromises compared to the basic style-- therefore couple of that this is actually quick and easy to neglect you're owning a crossbreed. Along with an impressive combination of practicality, refinement, and design, the Optima is actually a solid opponent among mid-size hybrid sedans, specifically for those who don't appear entirely at the EPA numbers.

All service classes must inherit from the base service class \TYPO3\CMS\Core\Service\AbstractService, unless the service type provides a specific base class (authentication services, for example, inherit from \TYPO3\CMS\Core\Authentication\AbstractAuthenticationService instead). These specific classes should normally themselves extend \TYPO3\CMS\Core\Service\AbstractService. This class provides a large number of important or useful methods which are described below, grouped by type of usage.
These methods are related to the general functioning of services.
init() and reset() are the most important methods to implement when developing your own services.
This method is expected to perform any necessary initialization for the service. Its return value is critical. It should return false if the service is not available for whatever reason. Otherwise it should return true.
Note that's it's not necessary to check for OS compatibility, as this will already have been done by \TYPO3\CMS\Core\Utility\ExtensionManagementUtility::addService() when the service is registered.
Executables should be checked, though, if any.
The init() method is automatically called by \TYPO3\CMS\Core\Utility\GeneralUtility::makeInstanceService() when requesting a service.
When a service is requested by a call to \TYPO3\CMS\Core\Utility\GeneralUtility::makeInstanceService(), the generated instance of the service class is kept in a registry ($GLOBALS['T3_VAR']['makeInstanceService']). When the same service is requested again during the same code run, a new instance is not created. Instead the stored instance is returned. At that point the reset() method is called.
This method can be used to clean up data that may have been set during the previous use of that instance.
Clean up method. The base implementation calls on unlinkTempFiles() to delete all temporary files.
The little schema below summarizes the process of getting a service instance and when each of init() and reset() are called.
Most of the below methods are quite obvious, except for getServiceOption().
This method is used to retrieve the value of a service option, as defined in the $GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['SVCONF'] array. It will take into account possible default values as described in the Service configuration chapter.
the third parameter can be used to temporarily switch off the usage of the default configuration.
This allows for a lot of flexibility.
This set of methods handles the error reporting and manages the error queue. The error queue works as a stack. New errors are added on top of the previous ones. When an error is read from the queue it is the last one in that is taken (last in, first out). An error is actually a short array comprised of an error number and an error message.
The error queue exists only at run-time. It is not stored into session or any other form of persistence.
Puts a new error on top of the queue stack.
Removes the latest (topmost) error in the queue stack.
Returns the error number from the latest error in the queue, or true if queue is empty.
Same as above, but returns the error message.
Returns an array with the error messages of all errors in the queue.
Returns the latest error as an array (number and message).
This method checks the availability of one or more executables on the server. A comma-separated list of executable names is provided as a parameter. The method returns true if all executables are available.
The method relies on \TYPO3\CMS\Core\Utility\CommandUtility::checkCommand() to find the executables, so it will search through the paths defined/allowed by the TYPO3 CMS configuration.
Internal method to temporarily deactivate a service at run-time, if it suddenly fails for some reason.
A lot of early services were designed to handle files, like those used by the DAM. Hence the base service class provides a number of methods to simplify the service developer's life when it comes to read and write files. In particular it provides an easy way of creating and cleaning up temporary files.
Checks if a file exists and is readable within the paths allowed by the TYPO3 CMS configuration.
Reads the content of a file and returns it as a string. Calls on checkInputFile() first.
Writes a string to a file, if writable and within allowed paths. If no file name is provided, the data is written to a temporary file, as created by tempFile() below. The file path is returned.
Creates a temporary file and keeps its name in an internal registry of temp files.
Adds a given file name to the registry of temporary files.
Deletes all the registered temporary files.
These methods provide a standard way of defining or getting the content that needs to be processed – if this is the kind of operation that the service provides – and the processed output after that.
Sets the content (and optionally the type of content) to be processed.
Sets the input file from which to get the content (and optionally the type).
Gets the input to process. If the content is currently empty, tries to read it from the input file.
Gets the name of the input file, after putting it through checkInputFile() . If no file is defined, but some content is, the method writes the content to a temporary file and returns the path to that file.
Gets the output content. If an output file name is defined, the content is gotten from that file.
Gets the name of the output file. If such file is not defined, a temporary file is created with the output content and that file's path is returned.

Un webinar (parola macedonia di web e seminar; in italiano seminario in rete o teleseminario, o ancora webinario) è una sessione educativa o informativa la cui partecipazione avviene in forma remota tramite una connessione a internet. Il seminario in rete è usato per condurre riunioni, corsi di formazione o presentazioni, nei quali ciascun partecipante accede da un proprio computer ed è connesso con gli altri partecipanti tramite Internet. A differenza dei webcast, i webinar sono un sistema interattivo dove i partecipanti possono interagire tra loro e con il coordinatore (auditore) del seminario tramite gli strumenti disponibili dai sistemi di videoconferenza.

I seminari in rete possono avere luogo scaricando nel computer di ciascuno dei partecipanti un programma oppure collegandosi ad un'applicazione web tramite un collegamento distribuito per posta elettronica (invito alla riunione). Per accedere al webinar è necessario disporre di un collegamento alla rete, un programma di gestione di strumenti multimediali, un microfono e un altoparlante/cuffia. I seminari possono essere gratuiti oppure a pagamento e può essere necessario un codice oppure una registrazione per potervi accedere. Durante la pandemia di COVID-19 nel mondo il webinar è molto cresciuto in quasi tutti gli ambiti del mondo intellettuale, manageriale, universitario e scolastico.

Caratteristiche
Caratteristiche tipiche di un serminario in rete sono:

 Presentazioni - in cui le immagini vengono presentate al pubblico e strumenti di marcatura e un puntatore del mouse a distanza sono usati per coinvolgere il pubblico.
 Video in diretta o in streaming - dove webcam full-motion, videocamera digitale o file multimediali vengono inviati al pubblico.
 VoIP - Comunicazione audio in tempo reale attraverso il computer tramite l'uso di cuffie e altoparlanti.
 Tour Web: in cui URL, dati da moduli, cookie, script e dati di sessione possono essere inviati ad altri partecipanti consentendo loro di essere inviati tramite accessi basati sul Web, clic, ecc.
 Registrazione della riunione - in cui l'attività di presentazione viene registrata sul lato client o sul lato server per una successiva visualizzazione e/o distribuzione.
 Lavagna con annotazione (che consente al relatore e/o ai partecipanti di evidenziare o contrassegnare gli elementi nella presentazione di diapositive. Oppure, semplicemente prendere appunti su una lavagna vuota).
 Chat testuale - Per sessioni di domande e risposte dal vivo, limitate alle persone collegate alla riunione. La chat di testo può essere pubblica (aperta a tutti i partecipanti) o privata (tra due partecipanti).
 Sondaggi (consente al presentatore di condurre domande con risposte a scelta multipla dirette al pubblico)
 Condivisione dello schermo (dove i partecipanti possono visualizzare tutto ciò che il presentatore ha in quel momento mostrato sul proprio schermo. Alcune applicazioni di condivisione dello schermo consentono il controllo dello schermo da remoto, consentendo ai partecipanti di manipolare lo schermo del presentatore (sebbene questo non sia ampiamente utilizzato).

Standard
Le tecnologie per i seminari online non sono standardizzate, il che ha ridotto l'interoperabilità e la trasparenza e ha aumentato la dipendenza dalla piattaforma, i problemi di sicurezza, i costi e la segmentazione del mercato. Nel 2003 l'IETF ha istituito un gruppo di lavoro per stabilire uno standard per le conferenze Web, chiamato "Centralized Conferencing (xcon)". I risultati previsti di xcon includono:

 Un protocollo binario di controllo del piano. Binary Floor Control Protocol (BFCP) pubblicato come RFC 4582
 Un meccanismo per l'adesione e il controllo delle autorizzazioni
 Un meccanismo per manipolare e descrivere il "mixing" o la "topologia" dei media per più tipi di media (audio, video, testo)
 Un meccanismo per la notifica di eventi/cambiamenti relativi alla conferenza (ad esempio un cambio di piano)

Modelli di distribuzione
La Webinar è disponibile con tre modelli: servizio di hosting, software e appliance.

Un'appliance, a differenza della soluzione in hosting online, viene offerta come hardware. È anche noto come webinar "in-house" o "on-premise". Viene utilizzato per condurre riunioni dal vivo, formazione a distanza o presentazioni tramite Internet.

Fiz declares war on Tyrone and Alina in Corrie
June 1, 20210
Fiz finally explodes in Coronation Street, and announces that she's launching a custody battle against Tyrone – but just how dirty will she play to get what she wants?
The drama begins when Fiz tells Tyrone it's his turn to have the girls, and he realises he's double-booked with work. So instead of telling Fiz, he asks Alina to take them. But after Alina is talked into giving Hope a makeover, Fiz is furious to later find her daughter wearing fancy fake eyelashes!
"Ty keeps promising he'll have the girls, yet they end up with Alina, and that wasn't part of the plan," explains Jennie McAlpine, who plays the hurt mum, in this week's Inside Soap. "Fiz really isn't pleased, then when Alina does the eyelash extensions on Hope, it just proves to Fiz that her impression of Alina is right. I have to say, Fiz does possibly overreact, but Alina's just giving Fiz ammunition to hate her more than she already does."
Later, Tyrone receives a call from the school asking if he'll pick up Hope because of her behaviour. And once he collects her, Hope takes her bad mood out on Alina before running into the road in front of a car!
"That really is the final straw for Fiz – it proves that Alina is irresponsible," says Jennie. "Alina's just a kid herself, and she's not fit to look after her children. Fiz announces that from that point on, she doesn't want Alina anywhere near her kids. It comes from a place of hurt, of being humiliated and angry, but it's the straw that breaks the camel's back…"
Determined to put the girls' safety first, she tells Tyrone he won't be seeing either of them until there's a consent order in place. But she's left reeling as Tyrone curtly reminds her that Ruby is his daughter, not hers. Furious at him, Fiz heads to see Adam to make things official.
"Fiz thinks she's ready for a custody battle, but there's a lot of anger there in the moment," reveals Jennie. "I don't know if Fiz really wants to go down that route. Fiz decides that Ty and Alina aren't responsible, so both the kids should be her sole responsibility – however, deep down I don't think she really wants that to happen…"
Alina finds herself on the receiving end of Hope's naughty antics in Coronation Street
Later, Tyrone is breathalysed by police officer Craig, and accuses his ex of trying to have him arrested to better her chances of custody. Has Fiz now crossed a line she can never come back from?

About Jeannine
Jeannine Kellogg
Gracefully, Out of Step
Jovi, one of the siblings in The Tukor's Journey, wants so badly to be a ballerina. But she lacks a sense of rhythm and can't quite dance to the beat. The fact that Jovi is too much out of step with everyone else embarrasses her mom; she wants Jovi to outshine everyone else.
Isn't that the constant pressure we so often feel—the pressure to be in-step with everyone else, to be "on beat" with the cultural marches of our time. As I tell young people in my life, it's easy to rebel against your parents. It's easy to think your parents are out of step, out of tune. It's much harder to walk independently of your peers. Generations move like amoebas, even as they think they are independently rebelling.
Finding the great adventure of our life requires of us to find that service to others, deep inside, that we are called to do. Not on a grand stage. But in the quiet, small steps of life. Or in a battle that no one knows you took on. Rarely will that be a trendy thing to do. Rarely does it make for an easy hashtag. Never is it a twitter handle. It's walking alongside someone, being where others either don't know, don't care, or don't clap.
Gracefully out of step, we take on the battle. We listen to others and to the undercurrents of the culture. We find our unique journey.
If you are looking for gifts for an elementary or middle school child, there's still time to purchase The Tukor's Journey! It's s available for purchase at Amazon and Barnes and Noble, and other fine retailers.
Kids learn about unusual birds, animals, and places from around the world as they read The Tukor's Journey. For teachers who would like to incorporate The Tukor's Journey into their classroom activities, a free downloadable Classroom Discussion Guide is available on my website here. The Tukor's Journey is available through all major wholesalers: Schools can purchase The Tukor's Journey through their standard purchase process.
See you on the trail!

The plastic injection molding industry is an industry known for its efficiency and high manufacturing numbers each year. With injection molds in China and the United States becoming more and more abundant, the industry continues to earn a high amount of revenue.
These machines are known for their high efficiency when it comes to producing products, and this allows them to be able to produce hundreds to thousands of products in a short period of time. With that in mind, it is important to make sure that the cycle time in injection molding remains quick enough to be able to produce good numbers. Here are some ways to lessen the cycle time on your injection molding machine.
One of the biggest factors that affect the cycle time is the mold design. Having the right design is a factor when it comes to the quality of the product, as having a good mold means that the final product does not need too much refinement anymore. It is best to get a strong and high-quality mold in order to produce better products. Low-quality molds can cause more defective products that have traces of damage, which would slow down the overall cycle time. It is best to continue refining the design until you finally get a very efficient and dynamic design.
The process technician is the person behind most of how plastic products are produced. The speed and efficiency of the whole process would be down to how they perform, which means it pays to get someone who is highly skilled in the whole plastic production process. A skilled process technician would know hoe to manufacture products of the best quality, and be able to manage all of the resources that are needed.
The use of resin in plastic injection molding machines is necessary, as it helps cool down the plastic molds to a safe temperature that allows it to produce more products. This quick cooling time allows the parts to be ejected form the machine faster as well, which makes for a more efficient manufacturing process. Resins come in different grades, and each one helps reduce the cycle time to a certain degree that allows it to perform faster.
Another important factor that affects the plastic manufacturing cycle time is the part design. The thickness of the parts depends on whether or not the process would be faster or slower. Part thickness is also a factor in durability of the product, which affects the quality of the product. It is best to comply with regulation standards to ensure that you will still deliver quality products.
Plastic manufacturing is about quality and efficiency, which is why reducing the cycle time allows for more quality products to be produced by plastic manufacturing companies all over the world. By using these ways listed above, you are guaranteed that you would have a better time producing products for your clients.

Sage Radar Tower, the epicenter of the decommissioned Camp Hero Base in Montauk, New York, was built in 1942. This military base was designed to be camouflaged as a fishing village aerially. After it was closed in 1981, the government explored selling the land, but protests from environmental groups prevented that from happening. The area was ultimately dedicated as a state park. Many organizations, like the Surfrider Foundation, still have concerns regarding any development in or around Camp Hero as it is home to a complex ecosystem including rare flora, fauna and several endangered species. In 2002, Camp Hero State Park opened to the public, however, the abandoned military buildings like Sage Tower, remained off limits.
Most visitors come to enjoy the beautiful beaches, hike, bike, cross-country ski and/or fish; however, some guests come in hopes of confirming conspiracy theories. These theories range from experiments in mind control to time travel to child abduction to hallucinogenic drug trials. Preston Nichols' book The Montauk Project: Experiments in Time, and the documentary The Montauk Chronicles, among others, explore these conspiracies. The popular show Stranger Things is in fact based on Camp Hero and what may have happened there. As a result, Sage Tower is a destination for conspiracy theorists and urban explorationists (exploring abandoned structures in ruin #ruinporn, #urbex) alike.
In this design, Sage Tower will be rehabilitated into an ecology center that will also serve as a marine and wildlife sanctuary. The study of ecology focuses on the root of environmental issues to restore ecosystems to their natural state. This center will be a home base for scientists to study the effects of habitat change while enacting measures to preserve biodiversity. Sage Tower's unique location, since it was used as a radar facility, provides a vantage viewpoint to monitor wildlife from afar without disturbing the surrounding environment. The center will be equipped with a cutting-edge laboratory including a rooftop garden to research the native environment while limiting disruption.
Honoring the existing lines and form of the structure while drawing inspiration from Le Corbusier's Notre-Dame du Haut, the reimaged building celebrates Sage Tower and its sordid history. The windows mimic the shape of the original exterior checkerboard while creating dramatic lighting that gives the center a serene yet eerie vibe. The concrete used for the exterior walls will be mixed with local soil that is unearthed during construction to camouflage the building with its surroundings. Reindeer moss, which is native to the area, will cover the outer-walls to keep the building cool and blend it further into the lush backdrop. Adding to the mystique will be the lack of signage, keeping the mystery alive and possibly allowing some new conspiracy theories to be formed. This rehabilitated environmental hub will raise awareness of issues while furthering its mission to preserve biodiversity and ecosystem health. Its creation will also bring additional year-round jobs for residents that are not dependent on tourism, which continues to overcrowd and overwhelm the very end of Long Island.

Pesky Bug Season In Minnesota – be prepared!
Now that summer is FINALLY here to stay, don't forget to apply your insect repellent before heading outside.
Most tick bites do not result in disease, but it is a good idea to recognize and watch for the early symptoms of the more commonly encountered tickborne diseases in Minnesota.
The blacklegged tick can spread Lyme disease (the most common), as well as anaplasmosis, babesiosis, ehrlichiosis, and Powassan disease. In 2014, 896 Lyme disease cases were reported in the state, along with 448 human anaplasmosis cases and 49 babesiosis cases.
American dog ticks ("wood ticks"), which are very common in spring and early summer throughout wooded or grassy areas of Minnesota, can also carry diseases such as Rocky Mountain spotted fever (RMSF). While RMSF is most common in the southern United States, a small number of RMSF cases have occurred in Minnesotans who did not travel outside the state.
Wooded or brushy areas for the blacklegged tick.
Grassy or wooded areas for the American dog tick.
DEET-based repellents (up to 30 percent DEET) can be applied to clothing or skin.
Pre-treating fabric with permethrin-based repellents can protect against tick bites for at least two weeks without reapplication. This is an excellent option for people who frequently venture into wooded areas.
Prompt tick removal is important.
If possible, use a pair of tweezers to grasp the tick by the head.
Grasp the tick close to the skin. Pull the tick outward slowly, gently, and steadily.
Use an antiseptic on the bite.
Avoid folk remedies like Vaseline®, nail polish remover or burning matches – they are not a safe or effective way to remove ticks.
Keep lawns and trails mowed short.
Create a landscape barrier of wood chips or rocks between mowed lawns and woods.
Apply pesticide treatments in the spring or early summer along the edges of wooded yards and trails; follow pesticide label instructions carefully.
Here are some things you can do to help control mosquitoes in your community.
Empty water from buckets, tarps, toys, cemetery urns, water troughs, or other containers.
Get rid of old tires.
Change water every other day in birdbaths, fountains, rain barrels, and potted plant trays.
Drain or fill puddles and low spots with dirt or landscape to reduce standing water.
Treat and clean swimming pools and keep them circulating.
Wear long sleeves and long pants if you must be in areas with lots of mosquitoes.
Turn off lights that attract mosquitoes.
Replace outdoor lights with yellow "bug" lights".
Get rid of old cans, containers, pots or other water-holding containers on your property.
Drill holes in the bottom of containers that must be left outdoors, such as garbage cans.
Check your roof gutters and adjust to eliminate standing water.
Seal cisterns, septic tanks and fire barrels.
Turn over children's wading pools when not in use.
Turn over wheelbarrows, or keep them where they will not collect water.
Fix leaky taps, faucets and sprinklers.
Aerate ornamental pools or stock them with fish (South Dakota native fathead or killifish minnows).
Fill in tree rot holes and hollow stumps that hold water.
Keep weeds and tall grass cut short; adult mosquitoes look for these shady places to rest during the hot daylight hours.
Use a flyswatter or household spray to kill mosquitoes inside buildings.
Limit time outdoors from dusk to midnight when Culex mosquitoes are most active.
Use mosquito repellents containing DEET, picaridin, oil of lemon eucalyptus, or IR3535 when necessary, following label directions and precautions carefully.
Some communities use chemicals to kill mosquito larvae and occasionally spray or fog to kill adult mosquito. If you have any questions, call your local mosquito control person.

McLaren - Hospitals in Michigan and Ohio|Diagnostics & Treatments|Brachytherapy
Brachytherapy is a type of internal radiation therapy in which seeds, ribbons or capsules that contain a radiation source are placed in your body, in or near the tumor. Brachytherapy is a local treatment and treats only a specific part of your body. High-dose rate (HDR) brachytherapy is used to treat prostate, skin, gynecologic and breast cancers, while low-dose rate (LDR) brachytherapy is used to treat prostate cancer. With this treatment, radiation is directed to the cancer at the tumor site, enhancing cancer control while minimizing exposure to nearby healthy tissue and vital organs.
Types of brachytherapy
High-dose rate (HDR) implants: In this type of brachytherapy, the radiation source is left in place for just 10 to 20 minutes at a time and then taken out. You may have treatment twice a day for two to five days or once a week for two to five weeks. The schedule depends on your type of cancer. During the course of treatment, your catheter or applicator may stay in place, or it may be put in place before each treatment. You may be in the hospital during this time, or you may make daily trips to the hospital to have the radiation source put in place. As with LDR implants, your doctor will remove the catheter or applicator once you have finished treatment. This type of treatment is used for the following cancer types:
Low-dose rate (LDR) implants: In this type of brachytherapy, the radiation source stays in place for one to seven days. You are likely to be in the hospital during this time. Once your treatment is finished, your doctor will remove the radiation source and the catheter or applicator. This type of treatment is used to treat prostate cancer.
Radiopharmaceutical therapy: This type of therapy is a drug that contains a radioactive substance and is used to diagnose or treat diseases such as cancer. Examples are Lutathera and Xofigo.
With brachytherapy, the radiation source in your body will give off radiation for a while. If the radiation you receive is a very high dose, you may need to follow some safety precautions given to you by your health care team.

What type of transmission do electric cars have?
What kind of transmission does a Tesla have?
Are electric cars manual or automatic?
Do electric cars have automatic transmission?
Do electric vehicles have gears?
Are Teslas AWD?
Do electric cars have drive shafts?
Is a Tesla automatic?
Do electric cars have air conditioning?
Do electric cars have neutral?
Do electric cars have RPM?
Do electric cars have differentials?
Are there electric manual cars?
Do electric trucks have transmissions?
Do electric cars use AC or DC motors?
Does an electric car need oil?
"A significant difference between conventional vehicles and EVs is the drivetrain. Simply put, the majority of EVs do not have multi-speed transmissions. Instead, a single-speed transmission regulates the electric motor."
Teslas have a single-speed "transmission" of sorts that doesn't have gears to turn, as opposed to a traditional motor vehicle has multiple gears and speeds, which are connected by an engine crankshaft.
Most electric cars are automatic, which means there's no clutch and no possibility of stalling like a manual vehicle.
Most electric cars are automatic, and likely will be in the future. This is because an electric car doesn't require a clutch due to its inability to stall like a petrol or diesel vehicle.
EVs don't have a gear shift lever as there is no gearbox. Instead they have a single-speed transmission that gets its instructions from a smart drive selector. … But most EVs only have one gear, which means no gear shifts, either manual or automatic.
IMPORTANT: Should a five year old be in a car seat?
Tesla All-Wheel Drive has two independent motors for improved redundancy, each with only one moving part for minimal maintenance and maximum durability. Unlike traditional all-wheel drive systems, they digitally control torque to the front and rear wheels for far better handling and traction control.
In conventional EV models, the motor is installed in the position of the engine in gasoline engine vehicles, and it transfers power to the wheels via a drive shaft. This method allows EVs to make use of the automotive technology already existing in cars with engines, and excels in terms of sound and vibration.
Are Tesla cars automatic or manual? Tesla does not provide any cars with manual transmission (although the first Tesla models, the Tesla Roadster, did come with two gear speeds – though still no clutch, as they're irrelevant in an EV).
The electricity stored in the battery is the only source of energy driving an electric vehicle (EV). Therefore, the target of the air conditioning system for EVs is to cool and heat the air in the cabin and demist the wind shield using a small power consumption.
Some electric cars, unlike their gasoline or diesel counterparts, don't have a neutral position in the transmission. They can go forwards or backwards, but when they're not doing either the motor is still connected to the wheels – it just doesn't have any power driving it.
IMPORTANT: You asked: Why does my car honk when I connect the battery?
EV motors often provide up to 15,000 revolutions per minute (rpm), compared to less than 8,000 rpm for internal combustion engines (consumer cars usually provide less than 6,000). The high rpm of the electric motor eliminates the need for heavy and expensive transmissions.
Vehicles driven by in-wheel electric motors do not have a differential but deliver torque directly and independently to the wheels. … The so-called "open differential" allows any amount of wheel speed difference across an axle.
Are there any manual electric cars? No. Electric motors don't have the same power band limitations as ICE powertrains, and that means they don't need more than one gear. As you'd expect, that also means the need to develop a H-pattern shifter for an electric car is pretty remote.
Rather than the typical 18-speed transmissions, electric trucks tend to use two-speed transmissions, with some using three or four. … For this reason, even a heavy-duty truck requires very few gears—in a two-speed transmission, the first gear is used to get the load moving, and the second is used for cruising.
Electric-car Motors and Batteries. Electric cars can use AC or DC motors: If the motor is a DC motor, then it may run on anything from 96 to 192 volts. Many of the DC motors used in electric cars come from the electric forklift industry.
An electric car doesn't require motor oil, as it uses an electric motor instead of an internal combustion engine. … There are no valves, pistons, engines, or other moving pieces that require lubrication. Thus, regular oil changes aren't necessary for electric vehicles.

Starting preschool is a major milestone your tot will face in early childhood. Besides having to complete more tasks on their own, they'll also find themselves among unfamiliar faces in a new environment.
Dr Vaani stresses that you should refrain from doing tasks for them, which they can do themselves like getting dressed or brushing their teeth.
WHY? Preschool classes are carried out on a fixed schedule. Your mini-me must be able to follow through with the activities, so that they won't upset or affect the rest of the class.
EXPERT ADVICE Implement a schedule at home, so that your child will know how to follow a routine. A simple one consists of things like when your child is expected to wake up, what time lunch is and the activities you've planned for him. You should also prepare them as you transit from one activity to the next. Dropping hints like "We will be leaving for the park once you've taken a shower", tells your kewpie what to expect and when to expect the next activity.
WHY? Your mini-me is expected to complete or be motivated to finish a scheduled task or activity on on their own without losing interest too quickly.
EXPERT ADVICE Introduce tasks that your child is interested in and mix it with tasks that they are less motivated to complete, shares Dr Vaani. Then, progressively increase the time you want them to work on each task and reward them when they are able to stay focused. Dr Vaani suggests doing simple activities like connecting the dots or playing memory card games.
O'Sullivan notes that you may also want to consider your child's learning style and the teaching methods that the preschool uses. Some children do better by seeing, others by hearing and then there are children who benefit by feeling. O'Sullivan urges that you enrol your sweetie in a preschool that's better suited to your child's learning habits for greater success.
* Difficulty remaining seated when expected to.
* Excessive running and climbing around.
* Having difficulty following instructions.
Dr Vaani adds that if your child displays only one or a few of those symptoms, it may not necessarily indicate that they have ADHD. O'Sullivan points out that it can also be difficult to tell the difference between ADHD and normal kid behaviour.
Spotting restless behaviour during specific activities means your child probably isn't suffering from ADHD. O'Sullivan notes, "If your child shows a number of signs of ADHD across all situations — at home, at school and at play — it's time to take a closer look." It'll be best to get your child diagnosed through a formal assessment by a trained professional.
WHY? Preschool is a new environment filled with new faces, from your child's new teacher to the classmates and friends they'll make. Being able to communicate and relate with others will allow them to make friends and therefore, stay enthusiastic and positive about school.
WHY? Impulse control isn't junior's strong suit, but it is a necessary skill that ensures they don't pick fights and makes friends instead. An impulsive child will lash out and become physically aggressive because of their inability to control strong emotions such as anger.
Avoid being critical during their outbursts and labelling them as an angry or naughty child. O'Sullivan advises that you discuss that you're disappointed with their behaviour — not theim. For instance, if your child hits another child at the playground, you should tell your mini-me: "Mummy is very sad to see you hit that boy at the playground and I did not like what you did today". This lets them take responsibility for the situation, while giving them the chance to air their feelings.

Code MEAS3006
Offered by Centre for Arab and Islamic Studies
Course subject Middle Eastern & Central Asian Studies
Areas of interest Arab and Islamic Studies, History, Middle East Studies
Turkish History: Ottoman State to Modern Turkey (MEAS3006)
Growing from a principality in the 13th century into a multiethnic empire spread across three continents at the peak of its territorial expansion in the 16th and 17th centuries, the Ottoman Empire collapsed after the First World War, leaving complex legacies in the Balkans, the Middle East and not least in Turkey. The course will introduce interrelated themes regarding the political, social and cultural life and afterlife of the Empire, focusing particularly on the long nineteenth century which was marked by rapid transformations of every aspect of Ottoman politics and society. The course will encourage a critical assessment of modernisation and modernity through Ottoman intellectual, social and cultural histories and will provide fundamental tools for understanding modern Turkey as well as other nation-states emerging from the Ottoman Empire.
deconstruct and analyse the concepts of modernity and their impact on Ottoman thought, politics and culture;
identify and reflect on primary evidence that relates to the process of Ottoman modernisation;
identify and reflect on the transformation of Ottoman political, administrative, judiciary and military systems within the wider historical perspective;
utilise concepts of gender, class, ethnicity and religion to explain transition from the Ottoman Empire to Turkish Republic; and
evaluate historiographical trends in study of the Ottoman Empire.
This course may be counted towards a History major or a Turkish minor.

The Chicago Cubs and Pittsburgh Pirates renew one of baseball's most exciting rivalries today as they open a three-game weekend set at Wrigley Field. While many of the games in recent memory have been closely contested (okay, maybe not this season), it's been the Cubs that have come out on top more often than not. Chicago took 11 of the 19 games in 2015 and also took the biggest game of the year between the two clubs with a 4-0 victory in the National League Wild Card game. The Pirates and Cubs have already met once this season, with the North Siders absolutely dominating the Bucs in a three-game sweep at PNC Park, outscoring them 20-5 in the process. The first-place Cubs hope to continue that dominance today and put even more distance between themselves and the second-place Pirates. Chicago currently holds a seven-game lead over both Pittsburgh and St. Louis in the National League Central.
In search of his fifth win of the season, undefeated Jason Hammel will pitch for the Cubs today while the Pirates will send Francisco Liriano to the mound. Hammel technically had his worst outing of the season in his most recent start, giving up three runs in five innings to the Nationals in a no-decision last Saturday. Liriano is coming off of an outing against the Cardinals in which he gave up only two earned runs in seven innings to pick up his third victory of the year.

Why do some parts of a building get dustier than others?
Dust particles are tiny bits of rock, ash and organic matter that have been ground into fine pieces by the wind and wear. Although these particles are denser than the air that surrounds them, they have trouble falling through the air because as soon as they move faster than about a snail's pace, they experience considerable air resistance or drag forces. A dust particle has trouble falling through the air because the upward drag force it experiences while descending even a few millimeters per second is enough to balance its weight so that it stops accelerating downward.
Because dust particles have so much trouble descending through air, they tend to be swept along with moving air. That's why areas of your facility that have large air currents tend to accumulate relatively little dust - the dust is swept along with the air currents and doesn't have time to descend all the way to the floor or furniture. But in areas of your building with fairly still air, the dust can slowly settle out so that it coats all the surfaces.
Why does dust settle on the moving blades of a fan?
As the air flows across the blades of a fan, the dust particles in it occasionally pierce through the airflow and hit the blades. The same sort of process occurs when a bug hits the windshield of a car; the bug would normally follow the airflow but its inertia prevents it from moving out of the way quickly enough and it hits.
Once a dust particle hits the fan blades, there isn't much to remove it. The air moves remarkably slowly right at the surface of the fan because that surface layer of air experiences lots of viscous drag. Even though the air is moving swiftly only a few millimeters away, the air right on the fan blade is almost stationary. Thus the dust can cling to the blade indefinitely.
Louis A. Bloomfield is Professor of Physics at the University of Virginia and author of "How Everything Works: Making Physics out of the Ordinary" (Wiley, 2007).
Bloomfield received his Ph.D. from Stanford in 1983 and was a postdoctoral fellow at AT&T Bell Laboratories before arriving at the University of Virginia in 1985. He is the recipient of numerous awards for his research in atomic, condensed matter, and optical physics, including the Apker Award of the American Physical Society, a Presidential Young Investigator Award of the National Science Foundation, a Young Investigator Award of the Office of Naval Research, and an Alfred P. Sloan Fellowship, and he is a Fellow of the American Physical Society.
Bloomfield has also been widely recognized for his teaching of physics and science to thousands of non-science students at the University of Virginia and is the recipient of a 1998 State of Virginia Outstanding Faculty Award and the 2001 Pegram Medal of the Southeastern Section of the American Physical Society. He is the author of almost 100 publications in the fields of atomic clusters, autoionizing states, high-resolution laser spectroscopy, nonlinear optics, computer science, and general science literacy, and of a recent introductory textbook entitled "How Things Work: The Physics of Everyday Life," 3rd Edition (Wiley, New York, 2006).
Bloomfield also works extensively with professional societies and the media to explain physics to the general public. He frequently serves as a physics consultant and as an expert witness on legal matters that require a broad understanding of physics and scientific issues.
