Mercedes-Benz has gone radical by using blue instead of the standard green to denote eco-friendliness on their latest ecological models. The 2009 Detroit Auto Show have been graced by the latest of Mercedes' range of trio BlueZERO EV concepts.
Although the concepts come with three varying designations and takes on the EV concept, E-Cell, F-Cell, and E-Cell Plus, they have identical exterior structures and length of 13.85ft. (4.22m).
The E-Cell concept is a pure EV vehicle with a lithium-ion battery pack and electric motors while in the E-Cell Plus, beside the same battery package, a gasoline-powered engine is added to charge the batteries for greater range.The F-Cell employs hydrogen to power its electric motors.
Although the designation BlueZERO indicates zero emissions, only the E-Cell and F-Cell will provide true zero emission while the E-Cell Plus will emit standard exhaust emission once its gasoline engine is in operation which has been measured at 32g/km.
Strictly speaking, though, the other two vehicles will still emit carbon when it uses electricity or hydrogen to propel them. On a one hour charge the E-Cell concept claims a maximum range of 120mi (200km) which doubles with a two-hour charge.
One the other hand the E-Cell Plus can reach 370mi (600km) on full tank and a charge or 60mi (100km) in all-electric mode which is an equivalent of 62mpg NEDC fuel consumption.
The F-Cell concept can reach a maximum of 248mi (400km) from its 120hp (90kW) electric motor with a tankful of hydrogen. To improve aerodynamics enhancements were made to the vehicles including the installation of wheels and tires that reduce air drag and rolling resistance, and a closed front face.
Other features include a merger of cutting edge lens and LED bulb technologies, daytime running lights shaped like a "C" in front and taillights shaped in the form of an "L" at the back.
The wide-ranging use of Lexan had made the rear part of the vehicle virtually see-through. Basically, these three vehicles will receive identical designs, but the 'ALU-BEAM' metallic colors will spell their differences. The E-Cell will get a fresh lime version, the F-Cell a mint green and the E-Cell Plus bright orange.


I have to admit that it wasn't only Valentines Day that inspired my hair style today. (But it was valentines day that inspired me to wear this "Audrey" sweater in this pretty cranberry shade from Talbots ;) In my spare time this morning (ha ha) or I should say in between getting my 14 year old son out of bed, getting him his breakfast, bringing him to school, and getting myself ready for the day, I watched the spring/summer 3.1 Phillip Lim fashion show on my laptop. I love so many of these looks. But it's not only the clothing, it's the feeling that the designs, the music, the make up, and hair give off when you put them all together to make what I call MAGIC! Below is a model up close from the Phillip Lim 2011 spring fashion show. I now see that he hair is twisted on the side. I braided mine. And then pinned it back into a chignon.
I love how you did your hair. It's so pretty!
Awwww thank u Marie! I am ADORING your blog!

Title: Journalism on the Frontlines of Freedom
Dates: 28-04-2022, 16:00-18:00 EDT
Address: National Endowment for Democracy, Washington D.C.
Description: As authoritarian regimes around the world are increasingly emboldened in their efforts to counter and confront democracy and to secure their own grip on power, journalists and independent media outlets that provide accurate news, information, and analysis face increasing risks on the frontline of the struggle for freedom and democracy.
Vladimir Putin's invasion of Ukraine, the corresponding shutdown of Russia's few remaining independent media outlets, and the criminalization of sharing accurate information about the war, highlight both the threat facing journalists from dictators, as well as the power of independent media to unsettle dictators. On another front, in Burma, where courageous, underground, independent media worked for decades to defeat a dictatorship and usher in democracy, journalists find themselves in danger and working from exile once again after last year's military coup.
For much of the past 30 years, as countless NED partners from some of the most difficult environments would pass through Washington, they were often welcomed by one of America's most influential journalists, Fred Hiatt. The longtime editor of The Washington Post editorial page, Fred took a special and personal interest in the stories and struggles of aspiring democrats from every corner of the world and wrote often about their courageous work. Washington Post editorials forcefully condemned leaders who abused their power and highlighted the cases of those most at risk, appealing to our government and the international community to protect them.
Fred's passing last December was heartbreaking to so many who lost a friend and champion. To honor the legacy of Fred's life and work, NED will make a posthumous presentation of the Democracy Service Medal at an event focused on the important work of journalists from frontline countries and the dangers and challenges they face. Fred's longtime Washington Post colleague and friend Jackson Diehl will moderate a conversation with key journalists and thought leaders from Ukraine, Burma, and Russia. Following their discussion, longtime friends and colleagues will pay tribute to Fred as the Medal is presented to the Hiatt family.

Mnuchin says Congress should look at gun violence in wake of Florida shooting
Published: Feb. 15, 2018 at 10:43 a.m. ET
Greg Robb
Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin on Thursday called the shooting in the Florida high school a "tragedy" and urged Congress to "look at these issues." In testimony to the House Ways and Means Committee, Mnuchin said he had no proposals to make, saying gun violence was "out of my lane." He told Rep. John Lewis, a Democrat from Georgia, that he would speak to President Donald Trump and other cabinet members about concerns expressed by committee Democrats about gun violence.

Do You Live In One of the Fun States?
Tyrades! by Danny Tyree
"You think there's not a lot goin' on/But look closer, baby, you're so wrong..." - from the theme to Canada's brilliant "Corner Gas" TV show.
USA TODAY recently reported personal finance website WalletHub's annual ranking of the most fun states in America.
Using 26 weighted metrics related to entertainment, recreation, nightlife (and those raunchy tattoos that the researchers can't remember getting), WalletHub compiled its admittedly subjective list.
I don't mind acknowledging that California and Florida came out on top in the fun competition; but, unlike WalletHub, I will not be so crass as to shame any of the bottom 10. I have readers in many of those fine states, and I know which side my bread is buttered on. (Personal aside to the readers in those states: Guys, if you'd drop the plans for the Which Side Your Bread Is Buttered On Museum, your ranking would probably rise next year. Just saying.)
Despite the presence of Nashville, Memphis and the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, my own state of Tennessee ranks a lackluster 23rd. It's as if the gravitas of "the Volunteer State" has to give way to the clingier "Me! Me! Over here! Pick me!" state.
Along with assessments of average weather and entertainment affordability, WalletHub's criteria include the number of restaurants, casinos, golf courses, country clubs, gyms, skiing facilities and marinas per capita.
(I've always been skeptical of folks who put too much emphasis on "per capita" statistics. Perhaps it matters with the number of emergency rooms or bilingual court officers, but how many people say things like "Darn it! I'm jealous! Residents of my cousin's state have TWICE as many performance artists per 1,000 harassing them"?)
Some of the "have not" states are cursed by Mother Nature with dreary weather or a scarcity of beaches, but others have only themselves to blame for their unappealing image. Believe it or not, taking whiskey shots only when someone says "antidisestablishmentarianism" is not the stuff of glossy tourism brochures.
It's more than a little sad that the survey leans toward cosmopolitan amusements while neglecting "Friday night lights" high school football games, church carwashes, impromptu tall-tale-swapping matches and other examples of life's simple pleasures.
Yes, some residents of "boring" states heed the siren call of flashier states; but others are happy with the simple way of life. I guarantee no one has ever said, "Let's meet under the bleachers, Janie Belle and - aw, shucks! There's no ski lift! Just forget it."
People looking to pick a vacation spot or a state for relocation certainly pay attention to the WalletHub rankings, but the popular states must be very subtle about exploiting the data.
There could be a lot of blowback from an advertising campaign such as "You'll be swept up by the theme parks, swept up by the dance spots, swept up by the hurricanes" or"Can't you just see yourself chilling out in a state where all the bored people from dozens of OTHER states are congregating? You'll want to put your eyes out - and the used hypodermic needles are super available!"
States, you're all fun in your own way. Don't overthink it. Although, I am intrigued by the promotional stunt percolating in one of the lower-ranking states.("We're initiating an annual ranking of PERSONAL FINANCE WEBSITES! With the loser to be rolled up in the sidewalks at sundown!")

UMass Amherst Campus Awash in Spring Color [1]
In mid-May, Professor Amanda Bayer, who specializes in plant materials at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, led a campus tour of ornamental trees and shrubs. The two-hour tour left attendees surprised and amazed at the botanical treasures and landscape beauty the campus offers.
The crowd included several commercial landscapers seeking new options for clients, professionals earning continuing education credits, and a few people simply curious about the extensive Frank Waugh Arboretum. The managed portion of the campus' land, 500 acres of the 1,400 acre UMass flagship, has been thoughtfully planted with trees, shrubs and flowers for generations.
From a Siebold Viburnum, an upright shrub thriving in front of Stockbridge Hall, to an unusual Yellowwood (Cladrastis kentukea) that reveals a heartwood color of yellow and whose blooms resemble white wisteria planted near the Durfee Conservatory, Bayer took her tour across campus to examine 35 specimens. Participants poked their heads into clouds of fragrant Syringa vulgaris, better known as lilac, and to marvel at Carolina silverbells, a tree that appeared to have recently jumped out of a fairy tale.
Bayer told those gathered that the plant industry has been heading in a new direction for the past several years, focused on growing cultivars through selective breeding that are much smaller. Urban landscapes and smaller yards cannot handle plants like the large farmyard lilacs of old. On the tour, she pointed out several such smaller plants including a sweet-smelling dwarf lilac (a dwarf Korean variety).
Campus arborist Todd Beals said the entire managed landscape comprises the Frank A. Waugh Arboretum*. It consists of 9,000 trees made up of 560 species, and that does not even include show-stopping shrubs such as Pieris x 'Brouwer's Beauty' (andromeda) or Rhododendron catawbiense 'Cunningham White' (a white rhody). A little known fact is that the campus also boasts about 20 state champion trees. To qualify as a national champion tree of a species it must be the largest of its kind on United States soil and also the oldest. One handsome specimen that made the grade is the Japanese elm planted in front of South College by William S. Clark (third president of Massachusetts Agricultural College, now UMass). In 1890, he planted seeds that were brought back from Sapporo, Japan by William Penn Brooks (the eight President of Massachusetts Agricultural College).
The next ornamental tree and shrub tour is scheduled for September 27. Contact Ellen Weeks [3]to register. To view campus trees online, click here [4].
*Frank A. Waugh was the first head of the Landscape Architecture Department. Under his leadership in the early 20th century, the campus arboretum flourished. In 1944, then President Hugh Potter Baker officially recognized the campus arboretum as a memorial to Waugh and his contribution to the landscape.

Calculating Variable Income for Child Support in Tennessee: In re Brittany M.A.
Facts: Mother and Father are parents of Child. After custody of Child was changed from Mother to Father, the Court had to determine each parent's income in order to calculate the child support obligation. Mother testified that she works as an exotic dancer. Prior to the change of custody, Mother worked every weekend. After the change of custody, in which Mother's parenting time was changed to every other weekend, Mother only worked those weekends when Child was not with her. Mother's unchallenged proof was that her average income per weekend was anywhere from $1,500 to $2,000 although she had made as little as $1,200 and on one weekend made $3,500.
T he Court found, based solely on the mother's testimony, that she worked as a dancer at an adult entertainment venue in Greenville, South Carolina on weekends and that she averaged between $2,000 and $1,500 per two or three days of weekend employment. The Court noted that the mother had testified that she had made as much as $3,500 over one weekend. On that basis, the Court concluded that the mother's gross income was "not less than $90,000 per year" and made this finding for the purposes of calculating child support to be paid by the mother to the father.
Mother appealed this finding as to her income.
The Trial Court's finding of the mother's income did not include any reason or analysis for its conclusion. It appears that the Trial Court based its finding on the Mother's testimony that on one weekend in July 2010 she had made $3,500 in tips when it found that her income was not less than $90,000. This conclusion is not supported by the evidence. The Trial Court's income determination was not based on a sufficient evidentiary foundation nor was it within the range of acceptable alternatives. We conclude the Trial Court abused its discretion in its determination of the mother's income. The evidence clearly preponderates and it is reasonable to conclude that the mother's average income based on a $2,000 average per weekend is $52,000 per years.
Mother then argued the trial court erred in failing to impute her income at the statutory amount of $29,300 because the evidence she presented about her own income was unreliable. The Court quickly rejected this argument, noting Mother was free to present whatever evidence she wanted at trial and explaining the statutory imputed income amount is to be used as a fall back only when the court has no other reliable evidence of the obligor's income or income potential.
In sum, the Trial Court abused its discretion when it held the mother's gross income was no less than $90,000 a year. The preponderance of the evidence is that she averaged much less than this amount. Our determination of her annual income is $52,000 per year, and we remand to the Trial Court to recompute the retroactive and prospective child support to be paid by the mother, based on an income of $52,000, per annum.

The WV Alpha Chapter of Pi Mu Epsilon, the national mathematics honor society, will host an induction ceremony in honor of our newest members: Jessica Hammersla and Jackson Porter.
Abstract: Movies and television are a big part of peoples' lives. We may watch to get away from studying, but just as mathematics is a part of life, sometimes it's a part of a movie. How do you react when you find a bit of mathematics suddenly appear on the screen? Perhaps the mathematics is integral to the plot, maybe a side-note, or it's only in the background. When I unexpectedly find mathematics on the screen, I find great joy (this is math I know!) or curiosity (this is math I don't know, I want to learn more! Leads to more joy!). I will share some gems that have crossed my path on my journey as a mathematician that spark joy for me.
Researchers hoping to better interpret data from the detection of gravitational waves generated by the collision of binary black holes are turning to the public for help. West Virginia University assistant professor Zachariah Etienne is leading what will soon become a global volunteer computing effort.
Abstract:Current literature on student understanding of the definite integral strongly suggests that students who perceive the definite integral in a manner that closely aligns with a Riemann sum definition prove to perform better when interacting with applications involving the definite integral in comparison to students with less robust concept images. I look to see if this relationship holds for students in an Applied Calculus course. In my talk I will discuss what current literature says about this topic and what research I plan on conducting that will discover how well students who don't initially approach the definite integral from a Riemann sum perspective are able to adapt when required to think about the definite integral as an extension of a Riemann sum. A decomposition of the symbolic nature of the definite integral in the context of applications will be used to help students elicit and achieve this level of understanding.
This will be an integration contest open to all students. All integrals can be solved by techniques of Math 156.

Mapping digital exclusion in Los Angeles County
Project: Connected Communities and Inclusive Growth (CCIG)
Published on July 28, 2017 by Hernan Galperin
The Connected Cities and Inclusive Growth (CCIG) project, a collaboration between the USC Annenberg Research Network for International Communication (ARNIC) and the USC Price Spatial Analysis Lab (SLAB), has released its Policy Brief #2: Mapping digital exclusion in Los Angeles County.
The policy brief maps the social and geographical contours of digital exclusion in Los Angeles County. The focus is on home broadband, which refers to the adoption of residential Internet services, regardless of access technology or devices used. The data is sourced from the 2015 American Community Survey (ACS), which is the latest available that allows for geographical disaggregation at the level of communities within Los Angeles County. By identifying key trends and geographical patterns in Internet adoption, this document seeks to contribute new evidence that informs ongoing debates about digital inequalities in Los Angeles County.
The findings indicate that the social and economic dividends associated with the Internet are not extending to those most in need. In South Los Angeles, only about half of the residents report having a broadband connection at home, and there are indications that the homework gap for K-12 students is growing. Seniors and people with disabilities continue to face higher barriers to access, and the racial gap in connectivity remains large even after accounting for differences in income and other demographics. Further, the findings suggest the emergence of a mobile-only digital underclass with more limited digital capabilities.

A Few Tips From The Wife Of A Man From Vietnam
Never argue over where the two of you will sit when entering a restaurant. His seat will always be the one with the back against a wall (or corner) where he will have a good view of the center of the room and also the entrance and exit doors, if at all possible.
Oh, and if... when you arrive at the restaurant, there is a long "chow" line, never throw a fit if he insists on finding a restaurant where he doesn't have to stand in line to eat.
Never, ever attempt to wake him up by slapping or even patting him on the cheek. If you need to wake him up, wrap your hand around his big toe and squeeze gently.
Never serve chipped beef on toast... aka "you-no-what on a shingle" or any food item which resembles potted meat or spam.
If he should walk to the window or door to investigate the sound of someone approaching... or any sound at all... don't try to stop him or accuse him of being paranoid or nosey.
If he wants to "map out" your route when you need to run a few errands, agree to his plan.
Don't ask him why he must always put his keys, coins, wallet, comb... etc... in the same designated pockets... always.
If you see him looking up and down the body of a man whom neither of you know, it isn't because he's gay, it's because he's looking for weapons.
If he opts out of going to a fireworks show, don't ever call him a "fuddy-duddy" or a "kill-joy".
If you see him cutting his eyes at you and starting to get fidgety while watching TV, pay attention to what type of show he's watching. If it's a war movie or a documentary on war, leave the room because he's getting ready to cry. If you must remain in the room and the lights are off, resist the urge to turn on the lights or ask him why he's watching TV in the dark.
And here is the last (but the most important) of the tips off the top of my head:
If he ever wants to talk about anything concerning the war... give him your undivided attention and respect for what he endured.

Our community of Rogers Park, Chicago, Illinois is the most diverse in the City, if not nationwide. We celebrate our diversity, as it is the residents, businesses, non-profit organizations and institutions, which the Rogers Park Chamber of Commerce represents.
In the Rogers Park area, there are over 400 businesses, in which business owners provide goods and services. Our area hosts excellent social service agencies, providing for those in need. Our educational facilities, our community centers, our churches and other places of worship, all are supported by your local Chamber of Commerce. We visit the many group homes and rehabilitation centers often, for events like bingo, holiday parties, or as a part of community advisory councils. We participate in all community programs, whether they be park advisory councils, CAPS meetings, and of course, Shop Small Saturday.
Members of the Rogers Park Chamber of Commerce include mom & pop shops, home-based businesses, storefront shops, real estate agencies, banks, restaurants and cafes, as well as the largest companies in town. We have an ever-increasing menu of membership benefits, which includes advertisement and marketing, media mentions, ad handout, and our Snow Shovel Lottery, which was published as "Innovative" by Towns & Chambers Magazine. Established on April 14, 2009, the Chamber has been providing these services for 10 years.
Our Chamber Board is elected, and believes in inclusiveness, to bring up and boost our entire community. We support responsible business. This commitment to Rogers Park includes advocacy, business well-being checks, community outreach, and fresh start Monday neighborhood clean-up for all. There is not a local organization with which we will not take the time to speak. Everyone is welcome to our monthly job fair, advocacy/service fair, health fair, financial literacy workshop, networking events, and community BBQ.
Over the years, the Chamber has participated in community activism to build the community and to support reasonable developments while sustaining the diversity, character, beauty, and affordability of our neighborhood, which we love and protect.
While the Rogers Park Chamber initially chartered with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the Rogers Park Chamber Board, voted unanimously to not renew due to its lack of local, Rogers Park-specific support, and its ideological differences from our community in its lobbying.
Also, being designated as a 501(c)(6), trade organization, the Rogers Park Chamber of Commerce may participate in local political actions, which, in a democracy, benefits the community.
Statement: "For the spirit of the people of Rogers Park, we are looking out for our own community first, stimulating our local economy, creating jobs for our residents, encouraging tourism, and reminding everyone to shop local, in Rogers Park. This is strong. We live and work here!
Please stop in and say 'Hi!', and choose Rogers Park to reside, shop, work and play. Let's make everything about our neighborhood positive."
