Mechanical Bull: The Lamborghini Essenza SCV12
By Zack Norman on 18 February 2021
I feel that it wasn't too long ago that Lamborghini unveiled a new, limited-edition, hyper-expensive supercar to break records, and make your soul cry tears of joy. It was just a little over 2 weeks ago in fact, that they showed off the Sián, with its plethora of insanities. It was jampacked with space-age tech that we'd expect out of the Millennium Falcon, not a road-car. Yet, here they come with another one.
The Sián's sonorous naturally-aspirated V12 was mated to a 48-volt mild-hybrid system, which itself was connected to supercapacitors; a first in any automobile. Combining such a prehistoric engine with this ground-breaking tech sounded like an oxymoron, but it cheerfully made 819hp and clothed beneath a very striking bodywork. With all those boxes ticked, what else could Lamborghini have done to make another car stand out?
Well, as the Sián gave us a sneak peek into the world of automotive madness of the near future, this new Essenza SCV12 is a celebration of the past. Just like Gordon Murray's T.50, it shouts and screams a heartfelt goodbye to the internal combustion engine. However, while the Sián and T.50 need to conform to rules and regulations, Lamborghini's interpretation of peak fossil-fuel power is raw, untamed, and certainly illegal.
Au Naturel Combustion.
The SCV12 was first teased back in April 2020, and something I wrote aboutin hush whispers, silenced by videos of its engine roaring to life. So far as us mortals are going to be concerned, this is one of those cars that we'll only ever be able to see doing the rounds on social media. Not only is it limited to just 40 units, but it'll likely be in a price bracket that even the most generous lotteries couldn't afford, after taxes. Plus, it's track only, thus not legal to drive on regular roads.
Underneath all that carbon-fibre cladding, it's a very familiar Aventador that we've been seeing for nearly 10 years now, but it's since been given a new set of tailored clothes. Later, its innards have been fettled with by none other than Squadra Corse, Lamborghini's in-house racing division, hence the name, "SC". The essence — "essenza" — are inspired in its engineering, technology, and aerodynamics from those mad racing cars.
This is by the same division that outfits cars for the one-make Lamborghini Super Trofeo series. Then, there's the Huracan GT3 cars, where the wealthy and enthusiastic customers can race them in FIA-sanctioned GT championships, which they've accrued 40 wins since 2015 alone. Clearly then, the SCV12 has a winner's DNA to shape from, and it'll even likely underpin Lamborghini's rumoured entry into the upcoming 'hypercar' category for Le Mans in 2021.
At its beating heart, the aptly-named SCV12 has the most powerful Lamborghini 12-cylinder engine ever made. As it's made for track-use only, it doesn't have to conform with restrictive emissions and sound regulations, allowing the engineers to open the taps just that bit bigger. Producing 830 naturally-aspirated horsepower, it's even more potent than the hybridised and supercapacitor-filled Sián, along with a peak torque of 614lb-ft at 7,000RPM.
Essentially, it's the same 6.5-litre mid-mounted V12 that Lamborghini's been using for ages, but its secret to added more is in the air, literally. They've adopted a ram-air intake system that creates power-uplift at speed, which Lamborghini calls, "aerodynamic supercharging". Air is directed from the bonnet's dual-intakes, which then goes to the roof-scoop. Here, it undergoes a process of forced-induction, where it pressurises the air internally before going to the intake manifold.
This surge of fresh oxygen into the engine is helped by a new twin-exhaust made by Capristo to reduce back pressure. It increases performance even more, letting the big V12 breath, and sing a much louder tune than before. The amount of horsepower that could be extracted from a N/A V12 astounds me, and it's even made me recalibrate my expectations to its capabilities. Lambo's SCV12 joins the ranks with other 12-cylinder'd non road-legal hypercars like Aston Martin's Vulcan, and Ferrari's FXX-K, though the latter does have a hybrid setup.
The rest of the mechanical bits have either been thrown out, or seen massive upgrades in the process. To help with weight-reduction and improved torsional stiffness — read: the stiffness of the chassis — components have been made to become structural elements in the newly-designed carbon-fibre monocoque chassis. This results in an overall respectable mass of just 1,380kg, which nevertheless translates to an astounding power-to-weight ratio of 601hp/tonne.
Taking inspiration from those race cars, the rear push-rod suspension is mounted onto the gearbox, acting as a load-bearing. Speaking of, the transmission is a shiny new sequential 6-speed from Xtrac, sending power to just the rear-wheels, as it should be. To which, there are lightweight magnesium-forged wheels, covered by some Pirelli slick tyres, and Brembo brakes to stop you on a dime.
A Diet Of Oxygen.
Just as impressive as the powerplant, is the SCV12's bountiful application of aerodynamics. In fact, it has higher downforce than those GT3 racers, with 1,200kg of air pushing down on the car at 250km/h (155mph). On the headlight-less front-fascia, splitters and winglets have been added to direct air onto its aforementioned bonnet, and along the sides. Here, we see a large vertical fin which channels the air into the side vents, cooling both the engine and gearbox.
The rest of the striking bodywork is made from just 3 elements, making sure that repairs while in pit-stops are easy and quick, though you'd pray you have enough in your Swiss bank account to fix it. All those angular cuts and slashes definitely makes the SCV12 distinctively Lamborghini, including the signature hexagonal geometry, and Y-shaped patterns. The strong Periscopio bodyline along the cabin to the rear is also a reminder to the old Countach, and the more recent Sián.
It's arse-end tapers off very aggressively into a Kamm-tail; a design trait meant to reduce aerodynamic drag. On the bottom, there's a huge double diffuser, working in tandem with the large adjustable, double-level rear-wing. Because clearly, one of each isn't enough to create downforce to keep all this horsepower grounded. At launch, there's a variety of wild or sedate colours to choose from — Verde Silvans, Grigio Linx, Nero Aldebaran Gloss, and Arancio California — which I can translate to as green, grey, black, and orange.
Moving inside, the interior puts on a great show of its weight savings, with thin layers of Alcantara hiding the bare carbon-fibre cabin. You sit securely on a pair of homologated OMP carbon-fibre bucket seats. Getting in and out of SCV12 should be easy enough, as the rigidity of that monocoque bodywork means that there's no need to install a roll-cage. No doubt, the highlight of this cockpit is the F1-inspired, removable steering wheel. There are too many buttons to count, but I'm guessing it'll let you check your stats with the built-in telemetry.
If that's not special enough of a package, Lamborghini will make sure to pamper its clientele even more. By owning an SCV12, you're enrolled into a special programme that includes storage facilities for your car, transport, and racing events at your favourite race-tracks. There's even an athletic training programme to get you into shape like a racing driver, while being tutored by 5-time Le Mans winner, Emanuele Pirro, and Squadra Corse's works driver, Marco Mapelli.
Simply put, the Essenza SVC12 is by no means a copy+paste of the Sián, as this new Lamborghini is everything great about the internal-combustion engine rolled into one, nearly-final hurrah. As the name suggests, it's an essence of what the purest, most unadulterated driving experience feels like; an overload of emotions without any red-tape or rules to oblige. It's the purity of the automobile turned all the way up to 11, and one that we will remember fondly in the decades to come. But which sort of madness would you prefer; the Essenza, the Vulcan, or the euphemistically-named FXX-K?

Q: Associate web page with project in Visual Studio Is there any way to associate a web page with a project in Visual Studio, and have it load up in the IDE? For example, I have a project who's task list is maintained on a web site. It would be ideal to see those tasks within the IDE instead of a separate page. I can accomplish that now by following these steps:

*

*Press Ctrl-Alt-R to open a Web Browser page

*Change the URL to my desired path

*Position the page as desired (like in its own tab group, off to the right of my code)

It would be nice to have a link somewhere in my project that I could click and open this page in the IDE without changing the URL every time. I have several different projects that would benefit from this. Any ideas?

A: Nice idea. The only thing that I can think of is via Visual Studio Extensibility. Basically,

*

*Define an MSBuild property in the project file or a custom field in the solution file that has the project url.

*Write a VS package that subscribes to the solution load event or something similar (I am not familiar with VS object model but I am sure there is an event like that) and looks for that custom field and extracts the url if it exists in the solution or the project file and then opens a web browser within VS that points to that url.

A: Something like this happens with Visual Studio Team Foundation Server. The various documents and guidance associated with your current Team Project area accessible from within Visual Studio, in the Team Explorer window.
You can also create a Guidance Package to apply various commands and pieces of documentation at appropriate places within your projects. see Guidance Automation Extensions and Guidance Automation Toolkit.

A: Here's my quick hack around this problem:

*

*Create a text file in the project. I called my "notes.txt", and I use it to store notes, ideas, etc. that don't have a home elsewhere in the project.

*Add the web link to the top of the file.

*Open the text file in the IDE and put it in a new tab group. I put mine in a vertical tab group off to the right.

*Drag the separator as far over as it will go to "hide" the tab group. This way it's always open and available but not taking up much space.

*When you want the web page, "show" the tab group (i.e. drag the separator back) and ctrl-click the link.
This has the added benefit of opening the web page in the same tab group as the text file, so you can push them both aside when not using them.
I'm sure there's more that could be done by writing packages as others have suggested, but this was a low-effort way to get me close enough to what I wanted. I'd love to hear other suggestions or modifications that might make this setup better.

Complementary therapy clinic in Oxford
The Wellbeing ClinicTherapistsLizzie Austin
Lizzie Austin
RS Hom MAR
Classical Homeopath registered with the Society of Homeopaths, Reflexologist and Second Degree Reiki Practitioner.
Training and Experience
Lizzie has been practising Homeopathy in Oxford for over 20 years. After an early career in nursing, she began her study of Homeopathy at the College of Homeopathy in London, and then at the School of Homeopathy in Devon; registering with the Society of Homeopaths in 1990. Lizzie then attended a post-graduate course with Jeremy Sherr's Dynamis School for Advanced Homeopathic Studies, and also trained in transpersonal perspectives and counselling skills. In recent years she has travelled to India for seminars with the Bombay School of Homeopaths and is particularly inspired by the depth of understanding gained by using their method of classical homeopathy.
Lizzie is also a qualified Reflexologist and member of the Association of Reflexologists. She trained at the London School of Reflexology under the tuition of Louise Keet PGCE, MAR. She also trained in Facial Reflexology, and offers a delightful facial treatment that will improve skin tone; and help the face feel and look smoother and younger with a healthy glow.
Lizzie trained in Reiki healing with Ama Boisard, a Reiki Master/teacher and member of the UK Reiki Foundation; and qualified as a Reiki 2 practitioner in 2011.
Reflexology is an ancient therapy based on the principle that different parts of the body are reflected in the feet and/or hands.
Reflexology helps to promote wellbeing and health by the application of gentle pressure or massage to different areas on the feet. It is also a deeply relaxing treatment.
By using gentle pressure on specific areas of the feet, Lizzie's aim is to stimulate and thus improve circulation; and to restore balance and healthy functioning within the body.
The treatment offers you a deeply relaxing and nurturing expereince that will aim to boost the immune system, relieve stress and tension and improve your mood and general wellbeing.
Facial reflexology
Facial Reflexology works on the same principles as foot Reflexology, and the treatment is based on the theory that different areas on the face correspond to areas within the body. The aim of foot and facial Reflexology is to promote healing and help balance the whole body so that it can function at an optimal level. Facial Reflexology is such an effective treatment due to the closeness of the face to the brain and cranial nerves, and this will also have an effect on all body systems.
In addition to stimulating the body's healing energy, this therapy can help people feel relaxed; and both feel and look younger and more radiant.
Homeopathy is a gentle and holistic system of healing which assists the natural tendency of the body towards self-healing. Homeopaths view the symptoms of disease as expressions of disharmony within the whole person; and homeopathic remedies are used to gently stimulate the immune system to heal the body and return it to a greater level of health and wellbeing.
People often seek help from homeopathy and other complementary therapies as a form of prevention, as well as for existing conditions that have been diagnosed by their medical practitioner.
Lizzie's homeopathic practice over the last few years has seen individuals presenting with conditions such as digestive and respiratory complaints, skin or urinary problems, women's health issues, children's illnesses, and sleep and emotional imbalances, among many others.
Reiki is a Japanese word meaning 'Universal Life Energy', an energy which is all around us. It is the name given to a system of natural healing which evolved in Japan from the experience and dedication of Dr Mikao Usui.
It is a system of healing and self-healing that anyone can access. Being focussed on the whole person, and the person's innate ability to heal itself, it will complement any treatment you are having.
Reiki is a safe, gentle and non-intrusive hands-on healing technique which induces relaxation and stress reduction. It also promotes healing. Today, Reiki continues to be taught by Reiki Masters who have trained in the tradition passed down from Master to student.

- Audi A8
All-New Audi A8 Arrives In February 2020
Rachit Shad Trehan posted in DriveTribe India
Audi unveiled the all-new A8 in 2017. The saloon was supposed to arrive in India latest by end-2019. However, that didn't happen. One of the main reasons was the distressed Indian automobile industry. Now, Audi India says that after launching the Q8 in January 2020, the fourth-gen A8 will go on sale the following month. d
It will be interesting to see which version of the A8 does Audi launches in India – the standard or the long wheelbase. Whatever it may be, the saloon will arrive in petrol guise only. Wearing the 55 TFSI Quattro tag, it will house a 3.0-litre turbo-petrol V6, 8-speed automatic transmission and an all-wheel-drive system. With 335bhp/500Nm on tap, the standard A8 can hit 100kmph from nothing in 5.6 seconds whereas the LWB version takes tenth-of-a-second longer. The top speed, however, for both A8 derivatives is limited to 250kmph.
In terms of equipment, the Audi A8 will share most of the stuff with the Q8 in India. That means gizmos like a 10.1-inch touchscreen infotainment system, a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, an 8.6-inch touchscreen display for controlling AC and other comfort features, and wireless mobile charging will be part of the standard kit. If all that doesn't float your boat, features such as 360-degree cameras, a 17-speaker 730-watt Bang & Olufsen sound system, ambient lighting, leather upholstery and powered doors will be on offer too. What remains unknown is what all assistance systems does Audi offer with the A8.
The new A8 will arrive in India via the CBU (Completely Built Unit) route. That means the starting price will be close to Rs 1.5 crore (~USD 210,246). Once launched, Audi's flagship saloon will lock horns with the Mercedes-Benz S-Class, BMW 7 Series, Jaguar XJ and the Lexus LS500h.

This classic transatlantic race for Ultim and Ocean Fifty trimarans and IMOCA 60 and Class 40 monohulls began on Sunday (November 7) off of Sainte-Adresse, France, and is taking the 79-strong fleet to a finishing line off of Antigua. Given the speed differences between these boats, which range from 40 feet to 100 feet, LOA, the different classes are sailing different courses, with the Class 40s sailing 4,600 nautical miles, the Ocean Fifty and IMOCA 60 classes sailing 5,800 nautical miles, and the stunningly fast Ultims sailing 7,500 miles.

Provided that the wind gods cooperate, the Ultims are expected to finish in 16-17 days, the Ocean Fifty class in 12-15 days, the IMOCA 60s in 14-17 days, and the Class 40s in 17-22 days.
North American interests are being represented in this largely Francophile affair by Alex Mehran Jr. and Merfyn Owen aboard the Class 40 Pola Dot, by Ryan Barkey and Melodie Schaffer aboard the Class 40 Stormtech, and by Charlie Enright (USA) and Pascal Bidegorry (FRA) aboard 11th Hour Racing Team's brand-new IMOCA 60, Malama.
"With the boat being so new, we have had very little time to train and to get familiar with Malama's features - less than two weeks on the water," said Enright in an 11th Hour Racing Team release. "The foils, the hull shape, the cockpit, she's definitely one-of-a-kind. For this race, our main focus will be to get her to Martinique in one piece—if we manage that, there's a chance for more!"

Also, it should be noted that while Justine Mettraux (SUI) and Simon Fisher (GBR) don't hail from Canada or the USA, they are sailing aboard U.S.-based 11th Hour Racing Team's Alaka'i (nee' Hugo Boss), which is the team's B boat that they used for training while Malama was being designed and built.
Interestingly, this is the first time that a single team has entered two boats concurrently in the TJV.
Click here for a recent Sail-World.com interview with Simon Fisher.
As of this writing, Axel Trehin (FRA) and Axel Trehin (FRA), sailing aboard Project Rescue Ocean, are leading the hunt in the Class 40 rankings, followed by Ian Lipinski (FRA) and Julien Pulvé (FRA), sailing aboard Crédit Mutuel, and Nicolas Jossier and Alexis Loison, sailing aboard La Manche #EvidenceNautique.
In the Ocean Fifty class, Erwan Le Roux (FRA) and Xavier Macaire, sailing aboard Koesio, are in the pole position, followed by Sébastien Rogues (FRA) and Matthieu Souben (FRA), sailing aboard Primonial, and Quentin Vlamynck (FRA) and Lalou Roucayrol (FRA), sailing aboard Arkema 4.

Charlie Dalin (FRA) and Paul Meilhat (FRA), sailing aboard Apivia, are defining the learning curve in the IMOCA 60 class, followed by Romain Attanasio (FRA) and Sébastien Marsset (FRA), sailing aboard Fortinet - Best Western, and Enright (USA) and Bidegorry (FRA) aboard Malama.
(Impressively, Mettraux (SUI) and Fisher (GBR), sailing aboard the older Alaka'I, are sitting in fifth place, astern of Jérémie Beyou (FRA) and Christopher Pratt (FRA), who are sailing aboard Charal.)
And in the mighty Ultim class, Armel Le Cléac'h (FRA) and Kevin Escoffier (FRA), sailing aboard Banque Populaire XI, are in first place, followed by Yves Le Blevec (FRA) and Anthony Marchand (FRA), sailing aboard Actual Ultim 3, and Thomas Coville (FRA) and Thomas Rouxel (FRA), sailing aboard Sodebo ultim 3.

Skippers François Gabart (FRA) and Tom Laperche (FRA), sailing aboard the brand-new and fully state-of-the-art SVR-Lazartigue are currently in last place in the Ultim class, but, with just 20 nautical miles separating Banque Populaire XI's sterns from SVR-Lazartigue's bows, and with some 7,565 nautical miles of sailing remaining for boats that can tag 45+ knots of boat speed, there's still plenty of racecourse left for these offshore monsters to strut their lengthy waterlines and powerful sailplans.
Sail-World wishes all TJV sailors good luck, safe passages, and fast sailing on their way to Antigua.
The Ocean Race - photo © Martin Keruzoré/The Ocean Race
Meanwhile, The Ocean Race (nee, The Volvo Ocean Race and The Whitbread Race) recently made headlines with the announcement of their 12,750 nautical mile Southern Ocean leg for their 2022-2023 race. This ultra-marathon-like leg will stretch from Cape Town, South Africa, to Itajai, Brazil, skipping China and New Zealand. As a result, the race will begin in late December 2022 (or early January 2023) in Alicante, Spain, before sailing to Cabo Verde, and then on to Cape Town and then Itajai.
According to TOR, this decision was based on the realities of running a global ocean race during the still-churning pandemic.
Johan Salén is The Ocean Race's managing director - photo © Ainhoa Sanchez/The Ocean Race
"We believe the 12,750 nautical mile leg from Cape Town to Itajaí is a very special element—unique in history—in the next race," said Johan Salén, TOR's managing director, in an official release. "The ongoing and unpredictable effects of Covid have meant it is impossible, at this time, to do the planning necessary to ensure successful stops in China and New Zealand."
From Itajai, teams will then sail to Newport, Rhode Island, before crossing the Pond to a series of European cities and, eventually, the finishing line.
Charlie Enright and Pascal Bidégorry will co-skipper 11th Hour Racing Team's 60-foot IMOCA Malama, recently launched in August 2021 in the Transat Jacques Vabre as a part of the Team's two-boat racing program in 2021. - photo © Vincent Curutchet / 11th Hour Racing
"This update to the race route makes it reminiscent of the original Ocean Race's of the past, and I hope the delay of the start until after the Route du Rhum will entice more teams to join us on the start line," said Enright, who plans to race Malama in fully crewed mode in this event. "The confirmed course is exciting - one month at sea, racing through the Southern Ocean, on the longest leg we've ever faced. It's a reminder that we will need to be at the top of our game to take it on, and allows us to really hone in on our preparations."
For Enright, at least, these preparations began on Sunday with the start of the TJV.
May the four winds blow you safely home.

Iwata Ruri - Coloured Strap Vase. Glass. 16 x 14 x 28.5 cm
Coloured Strap Vase
"But glass remained basically foreign to the Japanese, something that had no roots in indigenous culture. So only artists prepared to take risks used it, artists with a decidedly Western orientation – in other words, those who were notably open-minded and progressive…One important pioneering glass artist began his career in the inter-war period: Toshichi Iwata. Thanks to his son Hisatoshi Iwata and his granddaughter Ruri Iwata, the Iwata dynasty has continued to play a major role in Japanese glass.
New glass in Japan was initially dominated by two artists: Hisatoshi Iwata and Kyohei Fujita. The former is scarcely known outside Japan but, together with his father, Toshichi Iwata, who was active until 1980, he enjoyed an outstanding reputation in his native country and received very high fees for his work, not least for pieces commissioned by commercial companies as presents… (Hisatoshi's) striking originality … went far beyond the production of decorative items for the well-to-do. Hisatoshi Iwata's achievement has still to receive its due in the West."
– Symposium "Quo vadis? Glass art in the age of globalization" 25/5/2006 – 27/5/2006. Helmut Ricke: Japan: A Dialogue between West and East
Toshichi Iwata did not teach his son, Hisatoshi, anything. They worked side by side in the same studio but the father worked and the son watched and absorbed, eventually moving to his own studio. Three generations of this family, including Hisatoshi's wife Itoko, have been at the forefront of Japanese and international glass since the early twentienth century. Hisatoshi and Itoko's works are in international museums in America and Europe, as well as Japan's major museums; both were founding members of the Japan Glass Association and Itoko was a life member of the American Glass Association and Board Member of the Corning Glass Museum.
Toshichi adapted the new medium of glass to the aesthetic of the Japanese practice of tea. Hisatoshi continued this but experimented with sculpting glass, adding copper to create matte material, contrasting this with translucent glass in a variety of vessel shapes. Third generation Ruri Iwata continues her father's work in a range of magnificent 'wrapped' glass vessels, weaving matte and translucent glass of different colours in astounding technical and aesthetic virtuosity. Ruri has extended her practice to large-scale monumental works using glass with concrete and metal in major public installations.
Glass is now an established medium for contemporary art expression in Japan, with Japanese glass artists working worldwide and participating in international museum exhibitions. This is an area of arts practice that Lesley Kehoe Galleries will continue to explore.

What If Trump Wins?
He survives impeachment and he surprises at the polls. The second four years could be even crazier than the first.
By DARREN SAMUELSOHN
Continue to article content
Darren Samuelsohn is a senior White House reporter for POLITICO.
President Donald Trump has a lot riding on 2020. If he loses, he won't just quietly resume his carefree snowbird lifestyle, albeit with millions of new Twitter followers. He'll be dogged by big legal bills as he fends off criminal investigations in multiple jurisdictions.
But what if he wins?
The election is more than a year away, his possible impeachment over the widening Ukraine scandal is far from resolved, and, yes, numerous polls show the president trailing nearly all of his likely Democratic opponents. But impatient politicos are already gaming out a scenario that is hardening into conventional wisdom: Trump is impeached by the House, acquitted by the Senate and reelected on November 3.
The prospect of four more years has already captured the fevered imaginations of Democrats and never-Trump Republicans. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi predicted, "The reelection of Donald Trump would do irreparable damage to the United States." Even the president's own supporters envision an emboldened incumbent who pulverizes political norms with a vigor, to borrow the president's go-to line, the likes of which the world has never seen.
Trump himself isn't saying much about what a second term would really look like. Scripted legislative agendas are not how he rolls. Still, if his first term has taught us anything, Trump as a lame duck would be anything but unifying. Indeed, the civil war that the president has predicted could well be visible in the hostile crowds hectoring each other on the Mall in January. After that? What does a bruised but unbowed Trump do with his political capital? What does an enraged Democratic opposition bring to bear that it hasn't already?
There's only one way to answer these questions: the POLITICO Time Machine.
For the uninitiated, we used it once before in April 2016, when Trump wasn't even the Republican nominee yet and when most people insisted he still had no chance of winning the White House. But our band of armchair time travelers already foresaw the looming possibility that the unorthodox novice could well be impeached if he ever took office. Our prognosticators weren't so far off, given how fast Democrats started investigating Trump once they took the House majority halfway through his first term.
OK, sure, we were a little wide of the mark in predicting Trump would reopen Alcatraz and the World War II-era internment camps to house suspected Islamic extremists. And back in early 2016, no one saw Russia, much less Ukraine, emerging as the centerpiece of the impeachment inquiry. But, boy, did our brain trust nail it on predictions about Trump skirting Congress to pay for his border wall; a full-blown civil war brewing inside the intelligence community; and presidential approval numbers collapsing faster than a Greenland glacier.
To further fine-tune the conventional wisdom, we reconvened the Time Machine travelers and added a bunch more to the roster—25 people who know Trump world and GOP and Democratic politics—and asked them: What's in store for Washington and the nation if Trump defies the odds to hold onto the White House?
"We will have entered an era of authoritarianism," warned John Dean, the former Richard Nixon White House lawyer whose public testimony about Watergate helped lead to the president's resignation.
That's just left-wing hysteria, said Newt Gingrich, the former speaker of the House and outspoken Trump ally. "No. I don't think Trump will be emboldened. I think Trump will be Trump. I think Trump is emboldened every morning. He goes, 'I'm a billionaire. I've got the White House, Air Force One and Marine One. And I'm commander in chief. What's part two?' All these guys who spent three years shooting at me and I'm still in the building and they're not.'"
But even some Trump supporters foresee the chance that Trump might test the boundaries of presidential power with bad results.

Former George W. Bush White House press secretary Ari Fleischer, a card-carrying establishment Republican who once criticized the president but now largely supports him, said a reelected Trump has the potential to take things too far. "I think it'd be very much like the first term with the risky exception that having survived impeachment and having been elected by the people he might feel like the guard rails are even farther away from the road he travels. I'd hope he'd realize the guardrails are there for a good purpose and if he drives too fast [he'll] crash through them."
At a Rose Garden news conference in early 1999 after the Senate acquitted him, President Bill Clinton responded to a question about whether he could "forgive and forget" by saying, "I believe any person who asks forgiveness has to be prepared to give it." According to Bob Woodward's account in his book, Shadow, a reporter then shouted to the president as he was walking away asking whether he'd be vindictive toward the Republicans who'd just impeached him. Clinton didn't turn around.
Trump "won't keep walking," Fleischer predicted. "He'll run back to the mic."
So what would Trump say? We'll let the Time Machine do the talking.
The time is January 2021. The election has left the nation a psychological mess and a sulfurous cloud of election meddling by foreign hackers hangs over the still-contested results. Trump's Ukraine scandal ultimately spared him but it wounded Joe Biden enough to give Elizabeth Warren the nomination. Once again, though, the result came down to the Electoral College, but even closer than in 2016. Warren, like Hillary Clinton four years earlier, took the popular vote by a resounding margin. But this mixed verdict has done nothing but further entrench the battle lines of a civil war that has become more than just a metaphor.
The weeks after the election were ugly. Protests in New York, Washington, San Francisco and a dozen other cities turned violent, the byproduct of a tangled mass of disgruntled pink-hatted Democrats, MAGA supporters, left-wing antifa and far-right Proud Boys. People have been killed. The president chalked up the discord to urban blight. And then he imposed curfews and directed the National Guard to patrol the streets over the protests of governors and mayors.
On January 20, Trump takes the oath of office, vowing in the shadow of the Capitol for the second time that he would "to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States." The scene is unlike anything before in the country's history. What's always been a high-security event takes on a militaristic tone, with Trump ordering U.S. troops onto the streets of Washington as a show of force to deter more riots. His family surrounds him, along with a loyal base of congressional Republicans who but for a few defectors hung on during his first four years and most notably voted to keep him in office and defeat impeachment. Democrats, still seething at Trump's flagrant constitutional violations, boycott the event en masse, the first time in modern history this has happened. Their seats are given away in a lottery open to Trump supporters.
Protesting former presidents
Imagining Trump's second term: "They skip Trump's inaugural ceremony and … hand out meals at a Washington D.C. homeless shelter."
Something else is notable, too. The four living ex-presidents, Barack Obama, Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter join George W. Bush in a protocol-busting protest. They skip Trump's inaugural ceremony and accept Carter's invitation to hand out meals at a Washington, D.C., homeless shelter.
After the inaugural parade, which includes tanks for the first time in a half-century, the president goes into the White House, takes out a handwritten enemies list of people who work for him and makes Jared Kushner fire everyone on it. The casualty list includes Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross, Education Secretary Betsy DeVos and Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben Carson. Mike Pompeo and Mark Esper resigned before the election, having been blamed by Trump for the Ukraine mess. Steve Mnuchin is the only original Cabinet secretary still in Trump's good graces.
A new crop of loyalists gets hired, including now-former Reps. Mark Meadows, Jim Jordan and Doug Collins, as well as Lindsey Graham, who steps down from the Senate to become the new Defense secretary. Brad Parscale moves from campaign manager to serve as White House chief of staff—but only after Trump leaves Mick Mulvaney's former job open for six months. Trump promises his longtime adviser Stephen Miller an appointment to run the Homeland Security Department in an acting capacity during the close of the second term, when Senate confirmation won't matter for a lame-duck administration. And the president also raids his reelection campaign for new staff, believing they will be more loyal than the Frankenstein crew from the Republican National Committee that he hastily assembled in 2017.

"You don't work to reelect a man you hate to get into the White House," observes Michael Caputo, a longtime Trump adviser who agreed to join us on our time traveling experiment and says the 2020 campaign represents a real bounty for faithful, Trump-believing worker bees.
Next comes the score settling. "Trump totally unburdened and 100 percent politics all the time. Payback is hell," predicted one of the Republicans close to the White House who insisted on anonymity because of their current job.
As Washington freezes through the end of winter, Trump moves his administration temporarily to Mar-a-Lago. He's golfing six days a week with the likes of celebrity admirers Rush Limbaugh, Kid Rock and Tiger Woods but finds time between rounds to lob Twitter grenades at anyone who crossed him during his first four years in office. Republicans are not spared as Trump draws a bull's-eye on the half-dozen senators who voted to convict him at the impeachment trial. He hounds Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell to remove Ben Sasse from the Banking, Judiciary and Intelligence committees. He scouts out 2022 GOP primary challengers for Richard Burr and Lisa Murkowski. And he seethes that he doesn't have more ways to deliver payback to Susan Collins or a certain Mormon senator from Utah.
"Romney is lucky he's running for reelection in 2024," said Sam Nunberg, another former Trump campaign aide from 2016 who is riding shotgun in our time machine and sees an election cycle four years into the future as far enough away to spare the 2012 GOP presidential nominee from Trump's ultimate payback.

Trump keeps trying to goose his government into action as the summer of 2021 arrives. He's starting to sweat the U.S. economy in the months after the long-anticipated recession became official that April with the second consecutive quarter of negative growth. He tweets 10 times a day about how Federal Reserve Board Chairman Jerome Powell is responsible. He gives one of his remaining first-term holdovers, national economic adviser Larry Kudlow, one more chance to pitch a middle-class tax cut in the hope that can turn things around.
Trump also leans in harder on his Justice Department. First, he orders Robert F. Kennedy's name removed from the building headquarters in Washington and replaces it with Rudy Giuliani, the former New York mayor and personal lawyer to the president whom Trump has installed as the director of his revamped and celebratory Voice of America. Then Trump threatens to fire Attorney General William Barr and every U.S. attorney in the country if criminal charges are not filed by Thanksgiving against any holdovers from the Obama administration who had a role in the original 2016 Russia investigation.
Trump cancels the annual turkey pardoning event and replaces it with a ceremony to give the Presidential Medal of Freedom to Paul Manafort, Michael Flynn and Roger Stone. All three former 2016 campaign aides had been sentenced to jail for crimes tied to special counsel Robert Mueller's Russia probe, but Trump thinks he's got room to maneuver now that he's safely in a second term and decides to wipe their records clean.
Confounded and depressed by the 2020 election results, Democrats can't figure out how to respond to every new example of Trump defying Congress. "The infighting. The blaming. The everything. Whoo!" Democratic operative James Carville says of his party's struggle to find itself after losing in 2020. Jim Manley, a longtime aide to Harry Reid who was with us back in 2016 the last time we zoomed off into the future, foresees a "circular firing squad" taking place in his party "with no national Democratic leader able to tamp down on the internecine warfare."
In the House, Pelosi was a goner the moment the television networks back in November declared Trump the winner. The president had taunted her throughout the 2020 campaign for her leadership against him on impeachment. And while her party still clings to a narrow House majority, the San Francisco congresswoman decides to call it quits and hands the speaker's gavel over to Hakeem Jeffries, a 50-year old lawmaker from a Brooklyn-Queens district that is a stone's throw from the president's childhood home.
Imagining Trump's second term: Democrats retain a House majority, but Pelosi hands the gavel to Hakeem Jeffries. In the Senate, McConnell continues churning out judges.

Democrats still have subpoena power, but they've been neutered by repeated attempts to draw anything out of the president. In the summer before the 2020 presidential election, the Supreme Court's conservative majority rendered Trump virtually impregnable with a 5-4 decision overturning its seminal Watergate ruling against Richard Nixon and instead embracing a broad range of presidential executive powers.
The focus for House lawmakers shifts from Trump's alleged abuses of power and foreign meddling in U.S. elections to something that doesn't quite pique Trump's ire as much: neglect at the federal agencies across his administration. While the Constitution has no double jeopardy clause for impeachment, Democrats debate whether to hold their fire in even considering another attempt at removing him from office.
Inside Trump's First Pentagon Briefing
By GUY SNODGRASS
Sure, there's all manner of agitation to try again—namely from the crop of freshman and sophomore Democrats who now hold the largest bloc of votes in the House conference. But Jeffries cuts that talk off by the summer of 2021, saying the party won't consider another impeachment until after the 2022 midterms—and only if there's a blue wave that causes dramatic shifts in the Senate. He argues there's no point going to war again with a president who won't stop talking about his new mandate or with Republicans who wouldn't convict the president in the first term even after being presented with a "smoking gun" audio tape that was secretly stashed on an internal White House server of Trump offering to sell Alaska to Vladimir Putin in exchange for Russian hackers' help to win a second term.
"He's now free to do everything he wants, even if it's clearly an impeachable offense because they're not going to go after him two times in a row," laments former Connecticut Rep. Chris Shays, one of four Republicans who voted against all four articles of impeachment against Bill Clinton in 1998.
With impeachment off the table, Trump tries to cut deals with a divided Congress. But he spends his political capital much faster than his aides want. He finally gets a win on a replacement for the North American trade agreement that he tore up in his first term. But that's it. House Democrats balk at an infrastructure package. There's nowhere close to the 60 Senate votes needed to overhaul the nation's prescription drug laws. The resulting bickering and blaming among lawmakers kills the chances for even bigger lifts. Reforming entitlement programs is nixed during the debate over Trump's first budget in his second term. A comprehensive immigration overhaul gets shelved in the aftermath of Mexican troops accidentally opening fire on their American counterparts outside El Paso, the resulting tensions stoked by Trump and conservative media warnings about a caravan of thousands of migrants that never materializes at the border.
As we travel further into Trump's second term, we see that he doesn't lose every battle in the Capitol. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, reelected in 2020 to a seventh term, continues to do his part to remake the federal courts. The Kentucky Republican clears the floor calendar to hold votes confirming more than 100 more new judges with lifetime appointments to the district and appellate circuits, and conservatives rejoice at the prospect of friendly decisions for decades to come on issues like abortion, religion, and environmental and labor policy.
Soon-to-be former judges?
Imagining Trump's second term: Thomas and Alito retire, ensuring their replacements are conservatives. RBG and Breyer "maximize their cardiovascular workouts and adopt strict Mediterranean diets."
Samuel Alito
On the Supreme Court, Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito, two associate justices in their mid-70s at the time of Trump's second inaugural, opt for retirement rather than risk being replaced by a Democratic president after 2025. Meanwhile, the two remaining Bill Clinton-appointed justices, Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Stephen Breyer, maximize their cardiovascular workouts and adopt strict Mediterranean diets.
Trump doesn't really alter his erratic, isolationist foreign policy instincts. He withdraws all U.S. troops from Afghanistan and Iraq, despite reservations even among Republicans. In Syria, ISIS has proclaimed a second modern-day Caliphate. He threatens repeatedly to pull the U.S. out of NATO, even ordering that the paperwork be drawn up but backs down as Republicans and Democrats unite to throw legislative hurdles in his way. He saber rattles on tariffs with China for all four additional years, but never closes a trade deal with Beijing; by the end of his second term, the U.S. and China have had near-skirmishes in the increasingly militarized South China Sea. Jared Kushner never actually releases the second half of his Middle East peace plan. The Iran nuclear deal collapses entirely, although Tehran doesn't immediately restart its nuclear program as it tries to rebuild its economy. Luckily, for the Iranians, China and Russia increasingly are willing to ignore U.S. sanctions and give them a financial lifeline. There also is no breakthrough on nuclear weapon talks with North Korea, though Kim Jong Un makes his first visit to the United States and joins Trump and Dennis Rodman courtside at the United Center for a Chicago Bulls game.

Trump also spends his time thinking about his legacy, and whom he wants to replace him in the White House. After dropping hints in private for months, he finally sends out a tweet on July 4, 2022, that he doesn't support Mike Pence's presidential ambitions. "Great guy, TREMENDOUS veep, but it's time for some Beautiful NEW BLOOD," he writes. Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz and Rand Paul back out by Labor Day, and the field is cleared for Ivanka Trump to take the party's nomination 17 months before anyone has participated in a caucus or primary.

Meanwhile, Trump takes direct control over planning for his presidential library, which in a break with tradition will include no actual presidential papers because there are none that have been preserved. He strong arms the General Services Administration to write through the lease agreement on his D.C. hotel and tells Congress he won't consent to end a months-long government shutdown unless it amends a century-old law restricting height limits on buildings in the Capitol. When the standoff ends, construction begins immediately on a new 75-story addition to the historic building that when finished will look down on the Washington Monument and the rest of the city.
Some of our fellow time travelers aren't entirely certain that second-term Trump will be distinguishable from first-term Trump. "He's a category 5 tornado now," insisted Ty Cobb, the former Trump White House lawyer who managed the president's response to the Robert Mueller investigation. "It's not like he's going to break the measuring point."
Trump himself has acknowledged how a state of perpetual scandal has reset all the meters. "It's almost become, like, a part of my day," the president told reporters earlier this month when talking about all his interactions with lawyers.
The question is whether his opponents will finally resign themselves to his existence and find ways to adapt to his style of chaotic governance.
Friends With Benefits: Donald and Rudy's Long, Strange Partnership
By MICHAEL KRUSE
"This has been a war every single day since the day he won. My presumption here is that is not sustainable if he gets elected [again]. At that point it's just too difficult to sustain," says Gingrich. Indeed, he says he can envision a bloc of around 50 House Democrats who will eventually come around to working with a second-term Trump on issues like infrastructure or join him in a big health care push on sickle cell anemia research.
"Once they get past having to chant 'We hate Trump!' and 'Impeach Trump!', which I think will disappear if he wins reelection because it's not sustainable emotionally, then there's a real opportunity to put together a series of bipartisan majorities," said Gingrich, who now lives in Rome with his wife, Callista, the U.S. ambassador to the Vatican.
That was, after all, the case with Clinton, who stayed busy in his final two years after his Senate trial, signing more than a dozen big laws, including a major banking deregulation plan later blamed for sparking the subprime mortgage financial crisis.
"We went back to work," Trent Lott, the Senate majority leader during the 1999 impeachment trial, said in an interview. "It was a different time, different people, different media, quite frankly."
Washington And The World
No, Putin Doesn't Like Impeachment
By TATIANA STANOVAYA
While our time machine travels did not envision more impeachments in Trump's future beyond what's coming today in his first term, anyone watching the current battles can't help but acknowledge the ever-present possibility that he could get pulled through the process again. Doug Holtz-Eakin, who in 2008 worked as a top adviser to John McCain's presidential campaign, said he would see "little upside" for Democrats to keep trying to impeach a second-term Trump.
But he wouldn't rule it out entirely, either. "The only way I could imagine a second impeachment would be if there was a clear, serious violation of national security laws," he said.
There are those who clearly will never adjust to Trump, and who see the president serving four more years as a real threat to the country's constitutional balance.
"As someone who has been in this business for more than 50 years in Washington, I cannot tell you how troubled I am by these prospects that the entire structure of the government system that's operated for my lifetime and probably for a century before seems to be crumbling," said Philip Allen Lacovara, a former Watergate prosecutor who made the winning argument in that unanimous 1974 Supreme Court case that helped lead to Nixon's resignation.
"The very fact that people in the executive branch figure that they can simply put a thumb in the eye of Congress when they're asked for information day after day after day after day, not on particularly controversial or sensitive single subject inquiries, that really is changing the fundamental nature of the government," Lacovara added. "And the typical voter who is concerned about other things is simply not aware of this. And if Trump gets another four years to codify, institutionalize and embed this attitude it's going to be very hard for Congress to reassert any effective control and oversight. I think that's the real risk."

Trump's critics also worry that, given four more years in office, the president's unconventional ways could have other long-lasting effects on society. "Young people will grow up thinking that's the way politics is," said Shays. "So many of the things our Founding Fathers believe in will just go out the window."
To Trump supporters, including the ones who came along on our time machine ride, all the talk about the end of democracy sounds laughable. "We said the same thing in 2012. 'The stakes are just so high,'" Nunberg said of the fears surrounding a second Obama term. "We were fine."
America, Trump's supporters argue, is much more durable than the president's critics acknowledge—even if he wins two terms. "It drives me crazy," Fleischer said, "when people think Donald Trump's tweets somehow are stronger than James Madison's handwriting."

Luxor Day Tour
After breakfast, meet your private Egyptologist tour guide in the lobby of your hotel in Luxor to start your tour to:
Valley of the Kings.
Valley of the Kings is the burial site of the ancient Egyptian Pharaohs during the New Kingdom age. Tour includes the three tombs and the tomb of King Tut Ankh Amoun.
Temple of Queen Hatsheput.
The Mortuary Temple of Hatsheput, also known as the Djeser-Djeseru ("Holy of Holies"), is an ancient funerary shrine in upper Egypt. Built for the
eighteenth dynasty's Pharaoh Hatshipsute, it is located beneath the cliffs at Dier el Bahary, on the west bank of the Nile, behind the Valley of the Kings. The Mortuary temple is dedicated to the sun god Amun, and is situated next to the mortuary temple of Montuhotep II, which served both as an inspiration, and later, a quarry.
Village of the Workers.
Colossi of Memnon then we will have lunch in a local restaurant.
After lunch we start our tour to visit Luxor East Bank including:
Karnak Temple
The largest temple in the world, which is located in Luxor East bank. The time line for the current building dates back to 2050 B.C until almost 100 A.D. It was dedicated to the Theban triad of Amun, Mut, and Khonsu. This great Temple of Amon Ra was known during the Middle Kingdom period as Ipt-Swt, which means the Selected Spot. It was also called Pr-Imn, which means the House of Amon. The name Al-Karnak in Arabic was derived from Karnak, which means fortified village, probably because the Arabs found many Temples and buildings in the area when they entered it for first time.
Luxor Temple.
Luxor Temple, or The Temple of Luxor, is among the most beautiful Temples in Egypt. It was known in the New Kingdom period as Ipt-Rsyt, which means the southern shrine. This was to differentiate between this Temple and Karnak Temple, which was the northern house of Amon Ra.
Amenhotep III built Luxor Temple. The architect and overseer of the works of construction was the genius Amenhotep, son of Habu. The Temple runs close and parallel to the Nile River, from north to south. It was constructed on the site of a small Temple of Amon, built by kings of the 12th dynasty. At the time of Amenhotep III the Temple was only 190m in length and 55m in width. Basically, Luxor Temple was consecrated to Amon Ra in his fertility aspect.
Dendara & Abydos Day Tour.
Early morning meet your local guide in the lobby of your hotel in Luxor for a 3- hours drive to the temple of Abydos. Spend 2 hours at the temple complex then have lunch at a local restaurant (included).
After lunch we will drive for 2 hours to reach the temple Dendera. After that, drive back to the hotel and arrive at 6 pm.
Temple of Abydos.
Located about 2.5 hours by car north of Luxor, it was one of the most important religious sites to ancient Egyptians. Ancient Egyptians would have hopes to visit Abydos, which for them was strongly associated with the entry into the afterlife. Temple of Abydos was built by King Seti I, who was the father of the great Ramesses II, who actually completed the construction of most of the temple after his father's death.
Abydos Temple contains small chapels dedicated to each of the major gods: Ptah, Re-Harakhte, Amun-Re, Osiris, Isis, Horus, and also one to Seti himself.
The temple of Abydos is one of the best examples that still has beautiful fresh colors.
Dendara.
Dendara Temple is dedicated to the goddess Hathor dating from 380 BC
The Temple of Dendara is one of the best preserved temples in Egypt. It was known as the Castle of the Sistrum or Pr Hathor, which means the House of Hathor, who was the goddess of love, joy, and beauty.
With the exception of its supporting pillars, which had capitals sculpted in the image of Hathor and were defaced by the Christians, the walls, rooms, and roof are complete and extraordinarily well preserved. The stone steps of the spiral staircase are time-worn but may still be used to ascend to the roof, where there is a small chapel decorated with Hathor-headed columns.
In ancient times, Dendara was associated with healing. Patients who traveled there for cures were housed in special buildings where they could rest, sleep, and commune with the gods in their dreams. There is something else special about this temple as well: It bears the name of Cleopatra and her son, whose father was Julius Caesar. It is that these celebrated rulers climbed the same stairs and contemplated the same landscape stretching out for miles below.
Today, the place sings with the music of birds. Hundreds of them roost in small cracks and hollows in the walls, seemingly contemplating their own carved likenesses in the hieroglyphic reliefs.
There have been temples on this site ever since the Old Kingdom, but the present temple was begun in the reign of Ptolemy VIII. The building we see today was constructed and added upon from about 116 BC to 34 AD.

quantum & analog: the perfect match
if quantum is inherently analog, then what is "quantum analog"?
allow us to explain...
we have developed a new computational approach, called quantum analog computing
it's analog in 2 ways:
relies on analogies with atomic quantum systems
employs analog electronics
instead of dealing with extremely sensitive atoms or molecules, we have built artificial atoms by means of analog circuits as the basic computational structure
Analog computation refers to an analogy – or systematic relationship – between the physical processes in the computing device and those in the system it is describing.
The analog device can be used to demonstrate quite clearly multiple facets of the mathematics of quantum mechanics since an analog device computes by exploiting physical phenomena directly.
Each artificial atom is mathematically equivalent to (or are doppelgängers of) an atom in lambda-configuration. More specifically, the analog system represents the dynamics of an electron in an atom irradiated by two laser beams (known as pumping and probe), which couple the two ground states to their common excited state.
The ensemble of artificial atoms interacts collectively to solve a certain problem. An important result of this approach is that the need for error correction disappears. To achieve this, infinityQ has used a concept known as collective computing. All computations were performed at room temperature and were not affected by a detrimental noise.
collective computing
infinityQ's device utilizes the concept of collective computing to connect its artificial atoms in an all-to-all topology, thus codifying the problem into the topology of the device. The computation proceeds until a stationary regime is reached.
the stationary regime represents the solution of the problem

Read other reviews of Skip Beat!
Skip Beat! Is a manga that I did not expect much from. The summary given did not give a very interesting inlook on the story, but once I began reading it, I couldn't stop. I'm on my fourth, (yes, fourth,) run of re-reading it, and the humor of it still makes me literally laugh and giggle at nearly every page of the adorable, quirky, hilarious spaz that Kyoko, the main character, brings into the story, as well as all the other characters.
The characterization of every character in the story is amazing. Kyoko's character is so complex and yet relatable that she is quite unlike any character from an anime or manga that I've seen. She is so crazy, and wise and mature and naive all at the same time that it's hard to pinpoint exactly what she is, because she is in fact all of these things. Ren, the love interest, is at first cold and sarcastic towards her, which isn't rare at all to see in a manga. What's different with Ren is that he doesn't get caught up instantly in love with Kyoko, he battles with himself, and is his own character, rather than a generic sarcastic-bad-boy love interest.
The characters in Skip Beat! (and there's a plethora of them) are all so wonderfully made that they make the story interesting when the romance in the story develops slowly. Unlike most, Skip Beat!'s man protagonist is not ultimately focused on love. I fact, she refuses to allow herself to be in love until about 120+ chapters in. Instead she focuses on her revenge of her childhood friend, Sho, and creating her career as an actress to achieve her revenge. The manga is so long, that you become attached to every character and when the romance does start, you are completely and 100% intrigued and hooked.
The only bummer, is that the chapters are so slow to be released, that once you get to the newest release point, you have to wait agonizingly long to know what happens next. But it's worth it, and I HIGHLY suggest reading this manga!
10/10 overall

I like your review and totally agree:-)
I just watched the series and read the manga for 2nd time. The Heels siblings are pretty intense so I was hoping that their relationship would progress a little more but I guess we have to wait few more years..:-(

Generally speaking, they're gossipy articles / what I'd call 'infotainment'. Or cheesy lists like "The 10 best sushi places in the country!". They very closely mirror the vibe/content of my website, so I think they'll perform quite well.
I'm going to bump this thread because I'm looking for something similar as well. Anyone have any ad networks for us smaller sites??


At Mount Sinai, our pediatric gastroenterology specialists are dedicated to providing compassionate and comprehensive family-centered care to infants, children, and teens with digestive problems. Our team has expertise in a wide variety of digestive nutritional disorders including inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis), Celiac disease, abdominal pain, constipation, gastroesophageal reflux disease, and feeding problems.
As our patients become young adults, we also work closely with our colleagues in adult gastroenterology to facilitate transition of care to our adult programs.
We offer several special programs to diagnose and treat common gastroenterological conditions in children.
The Pediatric Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) Program aims to optimize care for young children and teens who struggle with IBD (including Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis). Our program is one of the largest in the country. We provide diagnostic evaluations, second opinions, and ongoing services to help families support children living with IBD.
At The Susan and Leonard Feinstein Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) Clinical Center, we provide the full gamut of IBD services. Our multidisciplinary team includes pediatric gastroenterologists, nurse practitioners, social workers, nutritionists, and a clinical psychologist. We develop a personalized treatment plan for your child with IBD, to help him or her lead a normal, productive life. With the adult and pediatric programs under one roof, we have an important opportunity to conduct comprehensive research and collaborate to offer the most advanced treatments to help your child. We can also seamlessly transition your child into our adult IBD program at the appropriate time.
The Pediatric Small Intestinal Rehabilitation and Transplant Program works closely with our small intestinal surgeons to provide comprehensive medical and surgical management for a wide variety of diseases including short gut and intestinal failure.
The Pediatric Celiac Disease Program offers medical and nutritional management along with psychosocial support for patients with celiac disease and their families.
Pediatric Gastroenterology Services provides complete diagnostic and treatment services to our young patients.
Please plan to arrive at our practice 30 minutes before your appointment time to complete the registration process. If you are more than 15 minutes late, the doctor may not be able to accommodate you.
Please have your insurance card and referrals, if necessary.
We would like to see any pertinent prior medical records for your child at least four days before your scheduled appointment. Please fax these to: 212-241-1597 or, for Dr. Dubinsky's patients, to: 646-537-8924.
If you have to cancel your appointment, please do so at least 48 hours in advance. You may incur a cancellation fee of $75 if you cancel within 48 hours.
If you have a question about your child's condition or treatment, you can call the office at 212-241-5415 between the hours of 9 am and 5 pm, Monday to Friday. Our doctors do their best to return your call on the same day. If the matter is urgent, please advise our team. If your child is having an emergency, please call 911. We have a doctor on call 24 hours a day/7 days a week for urgent medical matters only. Please call during regular business hours with any questions about appointments and refills.
Our doctors see patients at multiple locations. If you have questions regarding where your child's appointment is, please contact us at 212-241-5415.
In addition to the Mount Sinai Kravis Children's Hospital's Division of Gastroenterology on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, we have several locations around the New York metropolitan area, including the following.
Every November, our Children's IBD Program fields a team of runners in the TCS New York City Marathon, one of the world's most-attended marathons, to increase awareness about pediatric IBD and raise money to support our program's research and family-centered, comprehensive care. Our runners have included parents of patients, siblings of patients, and family friends as well as physicians, medical students, and biomedical research scientists. Some runners have IBD themselves. We have even had a few patients, who were treated in our program as children or teens, run the marathon to support Team IBDkids.
Team IBDkids is able to guarantee entry for a limited number of runner-fundraisers. For more information on running with Team IBDkids, contact childrenibd@mssm.edu.
If you want to help but you do not want to run 26.2 miles, you can help by becoming an event sponsor, sponsoring a runner, or coming out to cheer on Team IBDkids. E-mail childrenibd@mssm.edu for more information.
We were named a top hospital for children's gastroenterology and GI surgery in 2018-19.
