Walter Carmichael Gibbs, (1854 – 1862)
Rev. Walter Gibbs, who was to be the first Vicar of Tyler's Green, … was highly recommended to Philip Rose by a much admired clergyman friend and was described as "an unobtrusive gentlemanly man of Middle Age, of independent means and without a family, who is seeking an independent charge and is to a great extent indifferent to stipend … well known to the Archbishop of Canterbury and many of the best Anglican Clergy. His wife is said to have a gift for schools and visiting". Rose took him to Penn to introduce him to Mr Knollis and to afford Lord and Lady Curzon the opportunity of hearing him preach and was immensely enthusiastic. He thought he was "admirably suited for the District and his accepting it may indeed be regarded as the most favourable feature in our whole arrangements", although he did add on a more doubtful note, "he is Irish and perhaps a little too energetic in his style of preaching, but I think him very well".
Walter Gibbs died in 1862 and is buried under the Altar steps, though his Memorial Stone lies outside the East wall.

Rev. John Power (1862 -1868)
"to crown our labour with success" – Shelf, Halifax, Apl 29 1851
Dear Sir, By the enclosed circular you will perceive that we are endeavouring to erect schools for the uneducated and poorer classes of society in Shelf. I don't know that I pursue a more useful course for the benefit of the people and the property in the place, than to erect schools, where the children may receive a suitable education in connection with the Church Establishment in our land, and feel encouraged that you will excuse me for appealing to you for help under such circumstances. If the money for the building could be procured in the district I certainly should not think of appealing to the public at large. I endeavour to raise the endowment in accordance with the advice of my respected Diocesan, who has kindly offered £10 towards it. The Church of St Michael here is well attended and the number of scholars in the Sunday School remains the same as stated in the circular. I must it will still please… to crown our labour with success and in every plan wish believe me. Yours very faithfully John Power.
So wrote the Rev. John Power in 1851 to William Priestley of Tadcaster, when attempting to secure funds towards the construction of a school in Shelf, West Yorkshire. Born in Merevale Warwickshire in 1818 he consistently displayed the highest levels of charitable and philanthropic ideals not always so evident in the Victorian Clergy. After marriage in March 1853 in York to Elizabeth Harriet Graham he eventually ended his Yorkshire Living, and moved south to the Isle of Wight to become the Vicar of All Saints, Newchurch, he was also Chaplain to the Mission for Seamen. Back on the mainland he succeeded Walter Gibbs in 1862 to become just the second Vicar of St. Margaret's Tylers Green, a post he held for six years. Having both a wife and daughter, not to mention a half-sister in his household, it was apparent that the existing accommodation for the Vicar, Yew Tree Cottage (now The Red House!) was too small, there was certainly no prospect in raising the funds from the inhabitants of the village, who Power described as "amongst the poorest of the poor" so Earl Howe and Philip Rose became the principal benefactors, the new Parsonage House being completed in 1865.
By October 1868 Power was on the move again, this time westwards to Exeter, where he was appointed Vicar of the Bedford Chapel, Bedford Square, he once again demonstrated his charitable principals, by introducing, despite some opposition "Penny Dinners for Poor Children", he felt that even if only a penny was paid the recipients would not be regarded as paupers. The Chapel itself no longer exists having been destroyed by enemy action in May 1942.
After a brief spell at Dodbrooke Nr Kingsbridge he ended his days as Vicar to the parish of Altarnun on Bodmin Moor, he died on the 6th February 1887 aged 69 and is buried in the Churchyard at St.Nonna's Altarnun.

Above is the only known possible photograph of John Power. It is of the wedding of Sir Philip Rose's daughter Louisa in May 1868, it is known that John Power assisted at the wedding, (there were 2 other vicars officiating). If you look closely at the bottom left of the photo next to the man in the grey top hat you will see what appears to be a vicar. Unfortunately we cannot confirm this. This is the earliest picture in the Village archives.
Rev. Ashley Spencer's Short Stay In Brazil
Dear VV. I came across the below from the Lancashire Evening Post, on Friday 27th March1908 (the story must have come from a press agency) and I thought it might be of interest.lt reads as follows:
'Vicar's Short Stay In Brazil'
A unique experience has fallen to the lot of the Rev. Robert Ashley Spencer, the vicar of Tyler's Green, near High Wycombe. Early in February he undertook a voyage to Madeira for his health and having spent a few days there, he met a personal friend, and accompanied him on his steamer bound for Brazil. Absorbed in conversation, he found himself being carried on to Pernambuco, where safely arrived after an eight days voyage. On his arrival he at once despatched a cablegram to his wife, who, not knowing what had become of him had had an anxious time. Mr. Spencer only remained in South America for a couple of hours availing himself of a steamer that was returning to Madeira immediately. His momentary absent-mindedness involved him in a voyage of 6,000 miles.

The Last Journey of Robert Franklin Ashley Spencer
A TRANSCRIPTION FROM THE BUCKS HERALD 8th JUNE 1918
"We deeply regret to record the death of the Rev. R.F Ashley Spencer Vicar of Tylers Green. On Thursday May 30th he attended a meeting of the Ruri-Decanal Conference at Marlow, only arriving at Loudwater Station on his return at about 10pm.
He had no carriage to meet him, having arranged to walk home. He walked from the station along the private road to Rayners, and later half way home was taken ill with internal pains so severe that he felt it almost impossible to go any further and contemplated – it being a warm night – the possibility of having to remain until morning lying on the grass by the side of the road. However, remembering that his two dogs of which he was devotedly fond, called for attention, he managed with a great effort to struggle home. Mrs Spencer had been for some days taking a rest cure at a nursing home in Wycombe. Feeling very ill on his arrival at the Vicarage, Mr Spencer sent for the District Nurse, and a telephone message was sent to Dr L.W. Reynolds of High Wycombe, who came up at once. Dr Reynolds found him suffering from acute Peritonitis and sent his car in the morning to remove the patient to the same nursing home where his wife was staying, the District Nurse accompanying him. Dr Reynolds, desirous of a second opinion called in Dr Huggins, but the patient's heart (which had long been affected) was in such a condition that both doctors agreed that an operation was out of the question, and the end came from heart failure just before 7 o clock the same Friday evening. Mr Spencer retained his consciousness until very near the end and was able to give a message to his wife, and even to choose the hymns for his funeral.
The late Rev. Robert Franklin Ashley Spencer who was born in County Wicklow Ireland was the son of a well-known London clergyman. He was presented to the living of St Margaret's Tylers Green, by the Late Earl Howe in the year 1883 on the retirement of the late Rev. W H Pengelley. Mr Spencer's father was a Clergyman of the old evangelical school, and the son a moderate high church man. Mr Spencer at the time of his death, had held the living for nearly 35 years. He was a very earnest and popular clergyman, and also found time to give valuable service in public affairs in the District and County. He was a member of the County Council of the Board of Guardians and rural district council which he joined in 1886 and the Chepping Wycombe Parish Council.
He had occupied the Chair of each Body, and also been Chairman of the Finance Committee of the Guardians and of the rural district sanitary committee.He was a member of Wycombe Joint Burial Board. Chairman of Wycombe Rural Food Control Committee and a Trustee and Member of the Committee of the South Bucks Friendly Society. His services in connection with these public bodies are well known to all of the residents in the district. Deceased was a Conservative and Secretary of the Tylers Green and Penn branch of the South Bucks Conservative and Unionist Association, being a constant attendant at its meetings. At an early date in the War he applied for a Naval Chaplaincy and served for many months in one of the hospital ships of the Grand Fleet in the North Sea."
His grave is in the south-east corner of the Churchyard in a position chosen by himself during his lifetime.

St Margaret's Choir Circa 1925
For some while it has been a matter of concern, that there existed little in the way of a pictorial archive for St. Margaret's, so the Revd. Mike Bisset was delighted to receive in November last year, the photo below, together with the names, from a Julia Pennbridge who resides in California. She came across it in her loft.
The picture dates from the early to mid-1920s and was taken outside the porch, which had no external doors, these not being fitted until 1935. Dominating the picture is the earnest looking Revd Gerald Hayward. He had been Vicar since the death of his predecessor, the Revd Ashley Spencer, in 1918 and was to be only the second incumbent in nearly 70 years. He wears two medals, from when he was a wartime chaplain, the Victory Medal and the British War Medal.
Back Row (L to R) Reg Adlum (Verger), Jack Winter, Fred Hawes, Burt Wimble, John Gulliver, Robert Barnes, Jack Gravestock, Tom Burrows (Bell Ringer).
Middle Row (L to R) Gladys Small (Organist), Charlie Small, Harry Holmes, ? Tiffin,
Gerald Hayward (Vicar), Burt Rigwell, Arthur Lacey, Chris Long, Miss Rignell.
Front Row (L to R) Cyril Chivers, Fred Bacheur, Norman Wright, John Galsworthy,
Keith Barnes, Eric Gravestock, Jack Chivers, Maurice Gravestock.
With nearly 30 people pictured space only permits a small potted history of some of the people present. On the left in the middle row are married couple, Gladys & Charlie Small who had married in 1925, (this helps to date the photograph). Charlie who had been born in Aylesbury and later lived in "Woodside", Tylers Green had served in the Great War with The Northamptonshire Regt. Gladys had been organist since 1918.
The two Chivers bothers Cyril and Eustace "Jack" were the sons of William and Rose Chivers from Beacon Hill. Cyril died in 1989 and Eustace J in 1957 whilst they were living at "Old Orchard" West Avenue. Another set of brothers shown are Robert and Keith Barnes, the sons of William and Janet Barnes. Young Chris Long, in the 2nd row, was the nephew of Ernest Long who was killed just two weeks before the Armistice in 1918.
Next to him is Arthur Lacey, son of the Tylers Green chimney sweep. Some of the names have not travelled well, for example in the middle row sits Lambert Rignall (not Burt Rigwell) from Hazlemere Road and at the end of the line sits his older sister, Sarah Elizabeth Rignall.
Harry Holmes resided at "Sunnyside", Kingswood Road which he shared for a while with his in-laws William and Alice Tiffin.
Returning to the back row we find Albert Whimble from Richmond Surrey, he lodged for a time with Miss Oakley at Laurel Cottage, before seeing service in the Royal Flying Corps in WW1. Perhaps the best known is Tom (not Bill) Burrows extreme right back row. Tom was blind, but this did not stop him from tending the oil-lamp at St. Margaret's as well as ringing the bells. He also weaved wicker baskets from his workshop in Beacon Hill. Three Gravestock boys are also pictured, Jack and Maurice were the sons of Albert & Zillah and Eric, probably their cousin, the son of Horace and Emily. Standing next to the Verger, Jack Winter is the son of John Winter, the bailiff at Gomms Farm.
So we are left with Fred Hawes, John Gulliver, Fred Bacheur, who may be the son of Col. Arthur W Bercher who lived in Hammersley Lane in the 1920's, Norman Wright and John Galsworthy. There was a Galsworthy family in the village at the time but not with a son John. The nearest I could get was Lewis Thomas Galsworthy who died in 1943 in Burma in a Japanese POW camp. His name now appears on the War memorial.
And finally, the Verger, Reg Adlum. The Parish Office does not hold a record of past
Vergers so if anybody can identify Mr Adlum, please let me know.

The Graduation of the Reverend Gerald Hayward B.A. M.A.
This highly evocative and delightfully informal photograph, taken in the summer of 1913, shows the soon to be Vicar of St. Margaret's Tylers Green, Gerald Hayward, outside Christ College Cambridge following presentation of his B.A. On his right are his proud parents, William Dunning Hayward and Mary Louise Blackwell Hayward (nee Hansell). His father was from Dorchester, whilst his mother came from North Shields in Northumberland, on his left stands his younger sister Gladys Mary Hayward, at this time the family home was in Broadstairs Kent. He married in May 1917 Dorothy Ellen Phillips who also came from the Kent town. There were no children.
He was born in May 1891 in Croydon, where his father ran a printing and publishing business and after a successful academic career, which also saw him obtain an M.A. in 1917, he became Curate at Christ Church Croydon, before holding the living at Christ Church Chelsea from 1915 until 1918. He saw service in the Great War as a Senior Chaplain to the Forces and in August 1918 was presented by Earl Howe with the living of St. Margaret's, his annual income however was less than £300.
So began his 33 year tenure as the 6th Vicar of Tylers Green, during which time he saw to the spiritual needs of many of the local inhabitants, however he was just a spectator in 1919 at what must have been the largest funeral then seen at St.Margarets, following the death of the second Sir Philip Rose, by this time Sir Philip had converted to Catholicism and his funeral took the form of a Requiem Mass held in the chapel at Rayners followed by internment in the family vault at St. Margaret's, Priests from local Catholic churches including St Augustine's on Amersham Hill presided at the service. It appears that not all his services took place in Tylers Green, as in 1929 he attended the funeral of the 4th Earl Howe in Holy Trinity Penn Street and in 1932 he played a part together with the then Vicar of Holy Trinity Penn, the Rev E Smith, in the funeral service of Sir Donald MacLean. However, one of his more intriguing marriage services was when he officiated at the wedding of one Edgar Whyte better known as "Eddie Steele" when he married in St Marys Appledram Kent in 1939. The Southern Area Heavyweight Boxing Champion had fought Tommy Farr among others.
The fabric of the Church continued to change during Gerald Hayward's incumbency, new vestries were installed in 1922, an extension to the Chancel and a new east window in 1932, the pews were cleaned in 1934 and the oak doors were added in 1935.
He died suddenly at his home in Tylers Green on Sunday 12th August 1951 aged just 60. He had conducted the morning services at St Margaret's, but complained of feeling unwell during the afternoon and died a few hours later. After a Memorial Service at St Margaret's on Wednesday 15th August a cremation took place at Woking Surrey. He was survived by his widow Dorothy who died in Penn in 1973.

It is important how to handle your MongoDb connections in your app. Basically when you fail to close an connection and try to open it instantaneously, you probably encounter this error. It can be while retrieving data, running tests, creating sessions.
Do not open a connection for each web request.
Open it and leave it open until you close/shutdown your app.
Use mongoose.createConnection to create a new connection instance if needed.
mongoose.connect opens a pool of connections that concurrent requests can share. You shouldn't be connecting and disconnecting on each request. Instead, connect during your application start up and disconnect during shutdown.
Sometimes when you are streaming huge data you may need to close connections after every request. For this you can use after response events/hooks.
connect-mongo module which is commonly used for session store takes the param "auto_reconnect": true. This will be passed as constructor to MongoDb server as the auto_reconnect option.
Yes, instead of creating a new Db object, you can just reuse the db object already instantiated by mongoose!


Lawrence H. White. The Clash of Economic Ideas. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2012.
By directing that industry in such a manner as its produce may be of the greatest value, he intends only his own gain, and he is in this…led by an invisible hand to promote an end which was not part of his intention….By pursuing his own interest, he frequently promotes that of the society more effectually than when he really intends to promote it.
The doctrine of laissez-faire was a reaction against mercantilist policies such as trade barriers and state-sponsored monopolies, policies oriented more to the protection of existing wealth than to the expansion of national production. It became a centerpiece of liberal thinking in the nineteenth century. Where free-market capitalism came to prevail, support for laissez-faire was increasingly support for the status quo, so that classical economic liberalism came to be considered conservative.
By the Progressive Era (1890-1920), economists were coming to doubt that the "invisible hand" of the market always produced socially desirable outcomes. In 1907, Irving Fisher published the essay, "Why Has the Doctrine of Laissez Faire Been Abandoned?" He gave two main reasons: that individuals often lack the expertise to make the best decisions, and that actions beneficial to individuals often have external effects that injure society.
The second issue is what modern economists call "externalities". Buyers and sellers may benefit from the marketing of a certain product, but people who are not parties to the transaction can suffer from the environmental damage resulting from its production. White does not explicitly link working-class poverty and other social problems deplored by the Progressives to such market failures, but that is the obvious implication. The new "institutionalist" economics looked to improved social institutions, not just free individuals to generate social progress. Scientific expertise, especially the findings of the emerging social sciences including economics itself, was to be an important basis for social reform. The American Economic Association was originally led by institutionalist economists opposed to laissez-faire thinking.
The path away from classical laissez-faire was also the path toward more radical collectivism. White establishes just how widespread socialist ideas were in the early twentieth century, most notably in the centrally planned economies of communist countries, but also in Nazi Germany, India after British rule, and even the US under the New Deal and Britain under the Labour Party. For example, Roosevelt's National Recovery Administration "organized industries into federally supervised Code Authorities, government-sponsored cartels for arranging collusion among the participating firms. The Code Authorities decided and enforced prices, production quotas, employment, and distribution methods." The Supreme Court ruled the NRA unconstitutional in 1935. In 1945, the British Labour Party was elected on a platform that called for "a Socialist Commonwealth of Great Britain" where the government would have "a firm constructive hand on our whole productive machinery." Industries employing about 20% of all workers were nationalized.
In the worst economic crisis of the century, the Great Depression, market critics and government critics squared off in the intellectual battle that continues to this day. For opponents of laissez-faire, most notably John Maynard Keynes, the Great Depression was a conspicuous market failure (a failure of "aggregate demand" in particular), demonstrating the need for at least moderate economic intervention (more on that in the next post). For Hayek, on the other hand, the Depression resulted mainly from central bank mismanagement of the money supply. Loose monetary policy in the 1920s had over-expanded the money supply, held down interest rates, and encouraged an unsustainable investment boom.
The author himself is more in the Austrian camp than the Keynesian camp. Throughout the book, he seems much more comfortable talking about government failures than market failures. That may be why he is so vague about the reasons for the decline of free-market thinking he describes in the first chapter. Although he tries to present both sides, I notice more criticism of Keynesian ideas than monetarist ideas in the book as a whole.

My name is Nicole Osborne, In 2009 I was presented with the great oppurtunity to have my pieces of artwork in my very first gallery showing not associated with school, and to top it all off I was being shown in a New York gallery. I knew that I had to fly to New York and be at my very first opening. I had never been on a plane let alone a big city. I was lucky since two friends decided to come along. One who had been to New York and the other who had been to other big cities. I had fallen head over heels for the man who was coming along with me. This was my first flight, my first showing, and my first big city. One the night of our arrival I was left alone that first night in a cramp room with the man I was head over heels for. It was then that I found out that he had started dating a mutual friend of ours after he had given me so many kisses and loving gestures. I did not know what to do. I was in a big city for the first time in a total unfamilar territory. I went into the hallway and attempted to call anyone I could. I wanted comfort from familirarity but no one was there to answer. No ones phone was available. Not knowing what to do I went to the only familar place I knew I had experienced before. I went into the bathroom that we were sharing with every other room on that floor and locked the door. I went to familar places such as sitting ontop of the toilet seat, and into the bath tub. It was in these familar places that I recognized and knew would give me a false sense of safe secure privacy. It was here that I broke down and cried for a long time until someone needed to use the bathroom. It was also here that I recorded the pictures of my heart break hoping to teach myself a lesson to never go on a trip in an unfamilar territory with someone who is not at least in a relationship with you. 2009 was suppose to be the year I lived a life dream, and was only a year that I experienced the greatest heart break in the most unfamilar place with access to nothing familar to me except a bathroom that held the same familarity as that of all the bathrooms I had experienced before in my life.

The prerequisite for an organization to excel in all aspects of its business activities is absolute strategic management of its HR functions.Human resource management is an extensive term that covers various aspects of personnel function. This discussion is focused on three main aspects that constitute human resource management.
It can be also called as the HR module where policies and programmes are laid down by the HR department for the benefit of the human resource personnel. Employment and compensation are chiefly dealt with in personnel administration. While business firms in the corporate environment are in constant demand of man power, finding the right person for the right job is always a testing task for them. Right from job analysis to HR planning, recruitment, selection, placement, induction and orientation, HR department is held accountable to define and develop these operative functions. Mere acquisition and incorporation of human resource is not adequate, the organizations have to engage themselves in empowering their employees through competent training, motivation and refining their social relations.
Job assessment has to be done for fixing compensation that includes wages and salary administration, incentives, bonus, fringe benefits and social security measures. The shifting business environment and consumer requirements compel the organizations to restructure and re-engineer their organizational functions. These moves can be viewed as strategic responses reflecting from all domains of an organization, namely product, marketing, manufacturing etc., where people are the centre of focus.
This is easier said than done. Firms are trying to evolve and employ various methodologies of training to enhance the performance levels to the desired standards. Performance cannot be achieved by coercion or bureaucracy, as the work force is protected by numerous enactment of labor laws enforced by various governments. Training and development is a separate entity by itself and is a continuous process that aims at the development of the organization as a whole and also facilitates employee career planning and development.
The following factors have to be scrutinized by the management to maintain good personal relations with the employees.
All said and done, the organizational health can be measured by checking the effectiveness of HR management through aspects like HR audit and research that aid the firms to analyze and understand the extent to which they are efficient in utilizing human resource for the benefit of their organization. The experience of a human resource manager comes in handy at situations like these, where he has to don different roles to suit the occasion.
Fire fighting legal role-negotiator, trouble shooter, peace maker, problem solver, grievance handling.
The management employs scientific, analytical, psychological and social techniques to build the business around human resource, who are the real value additions to the companies.


After fifteen years, Paul Blackford's 1991 EP is finally back in town!
With tracks remastered and lacquers cut by the famous MB Studio, this is a treat for the ears. Dancefloors & sound systems are going to dig the tunes heavy. Between the sounds of Detroit Techno, Ghetto Tech, Rave chronicle, Dark 90's video game Drum N Bass, this EP builds a unique bridge between the Detroit and UK vibes. Plus "The Bunker" a superb previously unreleased deep track, makes this reissue by Deep & Roll a must have.
After Nick Holder and Enrico Mantini, Deep & Roll strikes harder with the upcoming first release by P.U.M.P., including 3 cuts of underground House Music.
On Side A, "Denial" starts seriously with a strict beat on a weird synth line, a driving bass and that hypnotic vocal. "You Got Me Burnin'" will revive your soul vibes with some old school drums and vocals on top of jazzy sampled instruments.
B side features "Finish Already", heavy floor filler that we don't mind keeping bouncin' on and on.
Can't wait to spread this dope wax on the dancefloors!
Deep & Roll strikes again, bringing back to life 4 unreleased tracks, lost since 1992, by the Italian House maestro Enrico Mantini.
Like a good wine, music improves with age, to the greatest delight of our ears.
"Octivation" is the ultimate smooth ballad, a subtle balance between warm synths and keys. "Gotta Have It" brings the deepness, "I Wanna Tell You" a powerful groove: all tracks will fit into deep dancefloors, bringing nostalgic vibes and some realness to your set.
The heads won't miss this one!
Joe Lewandowski is another treasure discovered by the rising label Deep & Roll.
The A side reminds us some 90's house diamonds: "Where is" contains mesmerizing gospel vocals calling for love. "Powa" has a more groovy vibe with patterns that bring us back to Chicago.
The B side opens with "I Need To", a track recorded with Jazz singer Lili B. It shows a more melancholic and deep side of the Parisian DJ. The last track "Lourd" explores the other influences of Joe Lewandowski with an Italo-Disco and leftfield techno feeling.
Pirates gonna play it loud!

Q: Django disable editing (but allow adding) in TabularInline view I want to disable editing ALL objects within a particular TabularInline instance, while still allowing additions and while still allowing editing of the parent model.
I have this trivial setup:
class SuperviseeAdmin(admin.TabularInline):
  model = Supervisee

class SupervisorAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
  inlines = [SuperviseeAdmin]

admin.site.register(Supervisor, SupervisorAdmin)

I have tried adding a has_change_permission function to SuperviseeAdmin that returns False unconditionally, but it had no effect.
I have tried setting actions = None in SuperviseeAdmin but it had no effect.
What might I be overlooking that could get this to work?

A: User django admin build in function has_change_permission()  and return false to restrict object Edit view.
class SuperviseeAdmin(admin.TabularInline):
  model = Supervisee

  def has_change_permission(self, request):
      return False

class SupervisorAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
  inlines = [SuperviseeAdmin]

admin.site.register(Supervisor, SupervisorAdmin)

A: See this solution: Django admin: make field editable in add but not edit
Override get_readonly_fields method:
def get_readonly_fields(self, request, obj=None):
    if obj: # obj is not None, so this is an edit
        return ['name1',..] # Return a list or tuple of readonly fields' names
    else: # This is an addition
        return []

A: You can try creating a separate inline class (see the InlineModelAdmin docs) that uses a custom ModelForm where you can customise the the clean method to throw an error when trying to update:
from django.contrib import admin

It can be daunting when making the transition to a plant based diet, but coming up with ideas for swapping out your animal-based meal plans doesn't have to be rocket science. Eating plant based on a daily basis is easy once you know how. We've come up with some fun and easy ideas for when you're planning your dinner time meal.
It's not just the Italians who love pizza. Around the world, pizza has become an easy dinner time must-have. It can be easy to slip into just calling your local delivery service and buying an expensive no-cheese pizza. However, making it yourself can be all the more satisfying, find a base or make your own and get topping with all the good stuff . We love going for artichoke, tomatoes, peppers and mushrooms.
product development has been slightly leſt behind. That's starting to change though, if you want to suppress your fish cravings then try VBites' Fishless Steaks, Quorn's Fishless Fingers, or the Linda McCartney Scampi Bites. If you want to make your own fish alternatives, try chickpeas or artichoke as a potential replacement along with fishy kelp powder.
Any meal that incorporates roast potatoes is a sure-fire winner as far as we're concerned. It can be disheartening thinking that roast dinners will suddenly go off bounds when you give up meat, but actually this could just open your eyes to a world of roast alternatives. If you want something to replicate your meaty main, then we're huge fans of Fry's country roast, but there are plenty of great roast products and nut roasts available now that you can still enjoy your usual Sunday dinner.
Usually have chilli or curry?
Chilli and curry are definitely some of the easiest things to give a plant based makeover. This is perhaps because they rely on having a great sauce to make them scrumptious rather than using the meat as a main ingredient. Fill your chilli with beans and replace meat with butternut squash, and get rid of the chicken from your curry and use chickpeas, mushrooms or cashew nuts in its place.
If you're strapped for time, stir fry is the way to go for a quick dinner time meal. Grab your soy sauce, rice noodles and lots of veg and whip up a crunchy, healthy plate of stir fry. There really is no need to use chicken here. Worried about protein levels? We love adding plenty of edamame beans in ours to ensure a protein kick.
The beauty with spaghetti bolognese is that everybody makes it slightly differently. It's a weekday dinner favourite, but it doesn't have to contain meat. There are great vegan soya protein mince alternatives at most supermarkets, or if you'd like a less processed version, lentils make a great substitute. Try topping with nutritional yeast instead of parmesan and be careful when using Worcestershire sauce that you have one without anchovies in.


In 1874, publishers Chatto & Windus asked their most renowned author, the inimitable Samuel Clemens, for a brief but quotable review of 'Nuggets and Dust Panned Out in California by Dod Grille,' the most recent book by another of their authors, Ambrose Bierce. Given that Clemens and Bierce had known each other since the 1860s and remained good friends, the idea was perfectly understandable; if not a surefire way to generate some positive buzz about a book which had, so far since publication, failed to sell in quantity.
What they hadn't considered was that Clemens would respond with brutal honesty.
Transcript follows. Image courtesy of Boston Public Library.
"Dod Grile" (Mr. Bierce) is a personal friend of mine, & I like him exceedingly — but he knows my opinion of the "Nuggets & Dust," & so I do not mind exposing it to you. It is the vilest book that exists in print — or very nearly so. If you keep a "reader," it is charity to believe he never really read that book, but framed his verdict upon hearsay.
Bierce has written some admirable things — fugitive pieces — but none of them are among the "Nuggets." There is humor in Dod Grile, but for every laugh that is in his book there are five blushes, ten shudders and a vomit. The laugh is too expensive.

Over £3 Million In Orders For New MG
June 6, 2011 Staff Corporate Business, Highlights, New Cars Comments Off on Over £3 Million In Orders For New MG
Longbridge's first all-new MG for 16 years has drummed up over £3 million of business in just two weeks – with 180 cars sold. The MG6 has got off to a flying start since the official VIP launch in April, with buyers facing a waiting list of up to six weeks as dealers cope with a flood of orders for new MG model. Sales of the new MG6 follow the relaunch of volume car-making at the Birmingham car factory six years on from the collapse of MG Rover in April 2005, when 6,500 jobs were lost. MG Motor UK PR and Events Manager Doug Wallace said the Chinese-backed company was delighted with the response to the MG6, which sells for between £15,495 and £18,995. "The value of MG6 GT fastbacks sold or ordered is just over £3 million – we […]

Altrincham's Priory clinic tackles surge in 'club drug' addicts
Bosses at The Priory Hospital Altrincham have launched the service after seeing a surge in the numbers of young men and women experiencing problems with so-called 'recreational' highs.
Alice McKeegan
Doctors at the Priory Hospital Altrincham say they have seen a rise in clubbers using drugs such as ketamine, mephedrone and ecstasy
A specialist city-centre clinic has been set up in to treat clubbers who are hooked on 'party drugs'.
The addiction outpatient clinic, based at the Pall Mall Medical Centre on King Street in Manchester, is thought to be one of the first of its kind in the country and is entirely dedicated to tackling club drug misuse.
Doctors at the private hospital, based in Hale, say they decided to open the clinic to address growing concerns about the prevalence of club drugs.
They claim thousands of young people are putting their lives at risk every weekend by taking substances such as ketamine, mephedrone (meow-meow) and ecstasy.
Medics say users can also experience mental health difficulties with damaging consequences – and hope that the new clinic will help people overcome their problems.
It runs once a week and people are able to discuss issues with drug use and their worries if they feel that drugs are becoming part of their routine. A GP referral is not required to attend.
Hospital director Paul Pritchard said: "The effects of recreational drugs can be extreme. However, if dealt with at an early stage through proper medical help, psychological and social support, young people who are using these drugs, particularly in excess, are very likely to make a full recovery."
The hospital has already helped young people to recover from the effects of recreational drug taking – and hopes the new clinic will allow doctors to treat more.
A 22-year-old man, who asked not to be named, was admitted to the hospital after taking club drugs for two years.
His drug-taking had a major impact on his life – and led to severe mood swings and personality changes. He ended up being cautioned by police for attacking someone at a music festival.
A hospital spokesman said: "He was introduced to these drugs while going out with friends and, as he was shy. He found that he wanted to use those drugs more frequently and in larger amounts than any of his other friends. He was found to be using some substances at dependent levels and was suffering from a drug-induced psychotic episode."

NANCY FRASER IN NLR ON ECO-SOCIALISM PART II
For a Trans-Environmental Eco-Socialism Part II
An analogous contradiction dogs the relation in capitalist society between 'the economic' and 'the political'. On the one hand, a capitalist economy necessarily relies on a host of political supports: repressive security forces that contain dissent and enforce order; legal systems that guarantee private property and authorize accumulation; multiple public goods that enable private firms to operate profitably. Absent these political conditions, a capitalist economy could not exist. But capitalism's way of relating economy to polity is also destabilizing. Splitting off the private power of capital from the public power of states, this arrangement incentivizes the first to hollow out the second. Firms whose raison d'être is endless accumulation have every reason to evade taxes, weaken regulation, privatize public goods, offshore their operations—and thus to undermine the political prerequisites for their own existence. With the cannibal again primed to devour its own preconditions, a tendency to political crisis is installed at the very heart of capitalist society.footnote6
Here, then, are two further contradictions of capital, which also follow the 4–D logic of division, dependence, disavowal and destabilization. Considered in this light, as analytical abstractions, they closely parallel the ecological contradiction dissected here. But that formulation misleads. The three contradictions do not in fact operate in parallel but, rather, interact with one another—and with the economic contradictions diagnosed by Marx. In fact, the interactions between them are so intimate and mutually constitutive that none of them can be fully understood in isolation from the others.
Consider that the work of social reproduction is deeply concerned with matters of life and death. Care of children encompasses not only socialization, education and emotional nurturance but also gestation, birthing, postnatal tending to bodies and ongoing physical protection. Likewise, care for the sick and dying is focused on healing bodies and easing pain as well as on providing solace and assuring dignity. And everyone—young or old, sick or well—depends on carework to maintain shelter, nutrition and sanitation for both physical well-being and social connection. In general, then, social-reproductive work aims to sustain beings who are simultaneously natural and cultural. Confounding that distinction, it manages the interface of sociality and biology, community and habitat.
Social reproduction is thus intimately entwined with ecological reproduction, which is why so many crises of the first are also crises of the second—and why so many struggles over nature are also struggles over ways of life. When capital destabilizes the ecosystems that support human habitats, it jeopardizes caregiving as well as the livelihoods and social relations that sustain it. Conversely, when people fight back, it is often to defend the entire eco-social nexus at a single stroke, as if to defy the authority of capitalism's divisions. Eco-critical theorists should follow their example. We cannot adequately understand capitalism's ecological contradiction unless we think the latter together with its social-reproductive contradiction. Although the system works to separate both nature and care from the economy, it simultaneously sets in motion extensive interactions among them. These interactions deserve a prominent place in the eco-critical theory of capitalist society.
The same point holds for the ecological and the political, which are also intimately linked in capitalist society. It is public powers, usually states, which supply the legal and military framework which enables capital to expropriate natural wealth gratis or on the cheap. And it is to public powers that people turn when ecological damages become so immediately threatening that they can no longer be ignored. It is states, in other words, that capitalist societies task with policing the boundary between economy and nature: with promoting or restraining 'development', with regulating or deregulating emissions, with deciding where to site toxic-waste dumps, whether and how to mitigate their effects, whom to protect and whom to place in harm's way.
Struggles over the relation between economy and nature are thus unavoidably political—in more than one sense. Typically focused on the concrete policies that states should pursue in order to protect nature from economy, they often turn into conflicts over the limits of public power, its right and capacity to rein in private (corporate) power. Also at stake in such struggles is jurisdiction: the proper scale and agency for intervention in matters, such as global warming, that are by definition trans-territorial. Likewise at issue is the grammar of nature: the social meanings attributed to it, our place within it and relation to it. Finally, what looms behind every eco-contest is the all-important meta-political question: who exactly in society should determine those matters? At every level, therefore, the nature-economy nexus is political. We cannot understand the ecological dimension of capitalism's current crisis unless we grasp its interactions with the political strand. Nor can we hope to resolve the first without also resolving the second.
The ecological is also entangled, finally, with capitalism's constitutive division between exploitation and expropriation. Corresponding roughly to the global colour line, that division marks off populations whose social-reproduction costs capital absorbs, through the payment of wages, from those whose labour and wealth it simply seizes, without compensation. Whereas the first are positioned as free rights-bearing citizens, able to access (at least some level of) political protection, the second are constituted as dependent or unfree subjects, enslaved or colonized, unable to call on state protection and stripped of every means of self-defence. This distinction has always been central to capitalist development, from the era of New World racialized chattel slavery to that of direct-rule colonialism, to postcolonial neo-imperialism and financialization. In each case, the expropriation of some has served as a disavowed enabling condition for the profitable exploitation of others.footnote7
But expropriation has also served as a method by which capital accesses energy and raw materials very cheaply, if not for free. The system develops in part by annexing chunks of nature for whose reproduction costs it does not pay. In appropriating nature, however, capital simultaneously expropriates human communities, for whom the confiscated material and befouled surrounds constituted a habitat, their means of livelihood and the material basis for their social reproduction. These communities thus bear a hugely disproportionate share of the global-environmental load; their expropriation affords other (whiter) communities the chance to be sheltered, at least for a while, from the worst effects of capital's cannibalization of nature. The system's built-in tendency to ecological crisis is therefore tightly linked to its built-in tendency to create racially marked populations for expropriation. In this case too, eco-critical theory cannot adequately understand the first apart from the second.
All told, capitalism's ecological contradiction cannot be neatly separated from the system's other constitutive irrationalities and injustices. To ignore the latter by adopting the reductive ecologistic perspective of single-issue environmentalism is to miss the distinctive institutional structure of capitalist society. Dividing economy not only from nature but also from state, care and racial/imperial expropriation, this society institutes a tangle of mutually interacting contradictions, which critical theory must track together, in a single frame. As we shall see, that conclusion gains additional support when we shift our focus to history.
nature: a terminological excursus
First, however, a word about 'nature'. Widely recognized as slippery, that term has appeared in the preceding pages in two different senses, which I now propose to disaggregate, before introducing a third. In speaking of global warming as a brute reality, I have assumed a conception of nature as the object studied by climate science: a nature that 'bites back' when carbon sinks are flooded, operating via biophysical processes that proceed behind our backs, independently of whether or not we understand them. That scientific-realist conception—call it Nature I—is at odds with another meaning I invoked to explain capitalism's ecological contradiction. 'Nature' there was referenced from capital's viewpoint, as the ontological other of 'Humanity': a collection of stuff, devoid of value, but self-replenishing and appropriable as a means to the systemic end of value expansion. That conception—call it Nature II—is a construct of capitalism, historically specific to it, but by no means a simple fiction or mere idea. Operationalized in the dynamic of capital accumulation—which also proceeds systemically, independently of our understanding—it has become a potent force with momentous practical consequences for Nature I. Much of my argument to this point has sought to illuminate the catastrophic hijacking of Nature I by Nature II in capitalist society.
Now, however, as we turn to history, we are poised to meet yet another conception of nature. This one, Nature III, is the object studied by historical materialism: concrete and historically changing, always already marked by prior metabolic interactions among its human and nonhuman elements. This is nature entangled with human history, shaped by and shaping the latter. We see it in the transformation of biodiverse prairies into monocultural farm lands; in the replacement of old-growth forests by tree plantations; in the destruction of rainforests to make way for mining and cattle ranching; in the preservation of 'wilderness areas' and the reclamation of wetlands; in farmed animals and genetically modified seeds; in climate- or 'development'-induced species migrations that trigger zoonotic spillovers of viruses—to cite examples from the (relatively short) capitalist phase of the Earth's history. Jason Moore evokes the idea of Nature III when he proposes to replace the uppercase singular 'Nature' with the lowercase plural 'historical natures' in his groundbreaking Capitalism in the Web of Life.footnote8 I shall use Moore's expression in what follows, along with the adjective 'socio-ecological', to portray the society-nature interface as an interactive historical nexus—a nexus that capital has tried to control and now threatens to obliterate.
This third conception of nature, as inextricably entangled with human history, will be front and centre in the following step of my argument, which situates capitalism's ecological contradiction historically. But that focus by no means excludes or invalidates Nature I or Nature II. Contra Moore, both of those conceptions are legitimate—and compatible with Nature III.footnote9 And both will find a place in my story—whether as 'objective' historical forces that operate behind our backs or as (inter)'subjective' beliefs that motivate our actions. We'll see, too, that the beliefs collide with one another—and with other, subaltern understandings of nature, yet to be identified, but also possessing the capacity to 'bite back'—in this case, through social struggle and political action. In sum, we need all three conceptions of nature working in concert to chart the historical career of capitalism's ecological contradiction
2. socio-ecological regimes of accumulation
To this point, I have elaborated capitalism's tendency to ecological crisis in structural terms, as if it existed outside of time. In reality, however, this tendency finds expression only in historically specific forms or, as I shall call them, 'socio-ecological regimes of accumulation'. I use that phrase to designate the various phases whose succession forms capitalism's history. Each regime represents a distinctive way of organizing the economy-nature relation. Each features characteristic methods of generating energy, extracting resources and disposing of waste. Likewise, regimes exhibit distinctive trajectories of expansion—ways of annexing previously external chunks of nature through historically specific mixes of conquest, theft, commodification, nationalization and financialization. Finally, regimes develop characteristic strategies for externalizing and managing nature: methods of offloading damages onto families and communities that lack political clout or are deemed disposable; and schemes for distributing responsibility for mitigation among states, intergovernmental organizations and markets. What makes a regime distinctive, then, is where it draws the line between economy and nature and how it operationalizes that division. Equally important, as we shall see, are the concrete meanings a regime ascribes to nature—in theory and practice.
None of these matters is given once and for all with the advent of capitalism. Rather, they shift historically, often in times of crisis. Those are times when the long-brewing effects of capitalism's ecological contradiction become so apparent, so insistent, that they can no longer be finessed or ignored. When that happens, the established organization of the economy-nature relation appears dysfunctional, unjust, unprofitable or unsustainable and becomes subject to contestation. The effect is to incite broad struggles among rival political blocs with competing projects for defending or transforming that relation. When they do not end in stalemate, such struggles may install a new socio-ecological regime. Once in place, the new regime provides provisional relief, overcoming at least some of its predecessor's impasses, while incubating new ones of its own, whose effects will become apparent later, as it matures. That outcome is guaranteed, insofar as the new regime fails to overcome capitalism's built-in tendency to ecological crisis, but merely defuses or displaces it, however creatively.
That, at any rate, is the scenario that has prevailed to date. As a result, capitalism's history can now be viewed as a sequence of socio-ecological regimes of accumulation, punctuated by regime-specific 'developmental' crises, each of which is resolved provisionally by the successor regime, which in due course generates a developmental crisis of its own.footnote10 Later, we shall consider whether this sequence may now be coming to an end, thanks to a deeper dynamic that subtends it: namely, the epochal trans-regime progression of global warming—cumulatively escalating, seemingly implacable, and threatening to stop the whole show. Whatever we say about that, there is no denying that the economy-nature division has mutated several times in the course of capitalism's history, as has the organization of nature. My principal aim in this section is to chart these shifts—and the crisis dynamics that drive them.
The historical career of capitalism's ecological contradiction spans four regimes of accumulation: the mercantile-capitalist phase of the sixteenth through eighteenth centuries; the liberal-colonial regime of the nineteenth and early twentieth; the state-managed phase of the second third of the twentieth century; and the current regime of financialized capitalism. In each of these phases, the economy-nature relation has assumed a different guise, as have the crisis phenomena generated by it. Each regime, too, has precipitated distinctive types of struggles over nature. Yet one thing has remained constant throughout. In each case, eco-crisis and eco-struggle have been deeply entwined with other strands of crisis and struggle, also grounded in structural contradictions of capitalist society.
Animal muscle
I begin with mercantile capitalism—and with the question of energy. In that phase, agriculture and manufacturing ran almost entirely on animal muscle, both human and otherwise (oxen, horses, etc.), plus some wind and water, just as they had for millennia. Continuous in this respect with precapitalist societies, mercantile capitalism was what J. R. McNeill calls a 'somatic' regime: the conversion of chemical into mechanical energy occurred inside the bodies of living beings as they digested food, which originated from biomass.footnote11 This meant that, as in earlier eras, the only way to augment available energy was through conquest. Only by annexing land and commandeering additional supplies of labour could mercantile-capitalist powers increase their forces of production. In the event, they made ample use of those time-tested methods, but on a vastly expanded scale that encompassed the 'New World' as well as the 'Old'.
In the periphery, then, mercantile-capitalist agents installed brutal systems of socio-ecological extractivism. From the silver mines of Potosí to the slave plantations of Saint-Domingue, they worked land and labour to the point of exhaustion, making no effort to replenish what they expended.footnote12 Electing instead to devour new human and nonhuman 'inputs' forcibly incorporated from 'the outside', they left trails of environmental and social wreckage across whole continents. Those on the receiving end fought back with varying degrees of success. Aimed at countering wholesale assaults on habitats, communities and livelihoods, their resistance was necessarily integrative. Whether communalist, counter-imperial or republican, it combined what we would now call 'environmental' struggles with struggles over labour, social reproduction and political power.
In the metropole, meanwhile, capital scaled up by other means. Forcible land enclosures in England facilitated the conversion of farmland to sheep pasture, enabling expanded manufacture of textiles even in the absence of mechanization. That shift in land use and property regime converged with a major round of administrative state-building in the sixteenth century—and with a world-changing scientific revolution in the seventeenth. The latter gave us the mechanical view of nature, an early version of Nature I that was instrumental in the creation of Nature II. Hardening distinctions inherited from Greek philosophy and Christianity, the mechanical view expelled nature from the cosmos of meaning, effectively replacing suppositions of socio-natural proximity with a deep ontological chasm. Objectified and externalized, Nature now appeared as Humanity's antithesis—a view that seemed to some to license its 'rape'.footnote13 As it turned out, philosophical ideas of this sort proved inessential to modern science and were eventually dropped from later versions of Nature I. But they found a second life in capital's metaphysic, which posited Nature II as inert and there for the taking.
In general, then, mercantile capitalism articulated conquest and extractivism in the periphery with dispossession and modern science in the core. We could say, with the benefit of hindsight, that in this era capital was amassing biotic and epistemic forces whose larger productive potential would only become apparent later, with the advent of a new socio-ecological regime of accumulation.
King Coal
That regime began to take shape in early nineteenth century England, which pioneered the world-historic shift to fossil energy. Watt's coal-fired steam engine opened the way to the world's first 'exosomatic' regime: the first to take carbonized solar energy from beneath the crust of the Earth and convert it to mechanical energy outside of living bodies. Tied only indirectly to biomass, the liberal-colonial regime appeared to liberate the forces of production from the constraints of land and labour. At the same time, it called into being a new historical nature. Coal, previously of interest only locally, as a substance to burn for heat, now became an internationally traded commodity. Extracted from confiscated lands and transported in bulk across long distances, energy deposits formed over hundreds of million years were consumed in the blink of an eye in order to power mechanized industry—without regard for replenishment or pollution. Equally important, fossilized energy provided capitalists with a means to reshape the relations of production to their advantage. In the 1820s and 30s, British textile manufacturers, reeling from strikes in the mills, shifted the bulk of their operations from place-bound hydropower to mobile steam—which also meant from country to city. In that way, they were able to tap concentrated supplies of proletarianized labour—workers with less access to means of subsistence and more tolerance for factory discipline than their rural counterparts.footnote14 Apparently, the cost of coal (which, unlike water, had to be bought) was outweighed by gains from intensified exploitation.
If coal-fired steam powered the industrial revolution in production, it also revolutionized transport. Railroads and steamships compressed space and quickened time, speeding the movement of raw materials and manufactures across great distances, thus accelerating capital's turnover and swelling profits. The effects on agriculture were also profound. With hungry proletarians massed in the cities, there was money to be made from unsustainable, profit-driven farming in the countryside. But that arrangement greatly exacerbated the metabolic rift between town and country. Nutrients plundered from rural soil were not returned at the point of extraction but discharged into urban waterways as organic waste. Thus, the liberal-colonial regime exhausted farmlands and polluted cities in a single stroke.footnote15
This massive disruption of the soil-nutrient cycle epitomized capitalism's ecological contradiction in its liberal-colonial phase. Equally emblematic was the response, as fixes purporting to solve Europe's soil-depletion crisis served only to displace or exacerbate it. One improbable but profitable undertaking centred on guano. A new historical nature becomes a world commodity: that substance was scraped from steep rocky crags off the coast of Peru by semi-enslaved Chinese workers and shipped to Europe for sale as fertilizer—all to the principal benefit of English investors. One result was a series of anti- and inter-imperial wars for control of the trade.footnote16 Another, as deposits built up over centuries began to dwindle within a few decades, was the motive to invent and deploy chemical fertilizers, whose downstream effects include soil acidification, groundwater pollution, ocean dead zones and rising levels of nitrous oxide in the atmosphere—all deeply inimical to humans and other animals.
There is also a further irony. Fossil-fuelled production in the capitalist core expanded throughout the liberal-colonial era. But as the guano gambit showed, the appearance of liberation from land and animal muscle was an illusion. Exosomatic industrialization in Europe, North America and Japan rested on a hidden abode of somatic-based extractivism in the periphery. What made Manchester's factories hum was the massive import of 'cheap natures'footnote17 wrested from colonized lands by masses of unfree and dependent labour: cheap cotton to feed the mills; cheap sugar, tobacco, coffee and tea to stimulate the 'hands'; cheap bird shit to feed the soil that fed the workers. Thus, the apparent savings of labour and land was actually a form of 'environmental load displacement'—a shift in the demands placed on biomass from core to periphery.footnote18 Colonial powers ramped up the process by calculated efforts to wipe out man

Sports Cars and Supercars: What's the Difference?
Posted on Jul 17, 2020 by Chris Okula Enthusiast
Facebook Google + LinkedIn Pinterest Reddit Twitter Whatsapp
When it comes to defining performance cars, there's the difficult task of answering questions like, what is a sports car? Or what is a supercar? These common terms may be second nature to car enthusiasts and widely known by casual bystanders, but what do they exactly mean? What actually defines and separates a sports car from a supercar? What makes them different? What similarities do they share?
What is a sports car?
There is no official definition of what a sports car is, but you usually know when you see one. To this author, a sports car is defined as a purpose-built vehicle that uses widely available manufacturing practices to create a car focused on driving pleasure over practicality.
To answer the question of what a sports car is, we need to understand their construction and philosophy. Sports cars are built with the driver as the main focus and should give up practicality in favor of styling and driver engagement. Sports cars specialize in on-road performance although many enthusiast SUVs now have the general attitude of a sports car—just look what the latest from BMW and Audi, among others.
That does not mean sports cars are made with exotic materials. Often times, sports cars will use major components like an engine, transmission, or even a platform found in other cars in the manufacturer's lineup. If the engine is specific to a sports car, it's often a tweaked version of a ubiquitous unit found in other cars to help keep costs low, at least these days. A sports car is all about the emotions it makes you feel when you look at and even more so when you're behind the wheel on a good road.
What is a Supercar?
A supercar embodies the sports car's spirit of expressive design and driver-centric performance but adds an exotic flair. A supercar is a road-oriented performance vehicle built with high-end, model-specific materials to offer customers the best in terms of performance. It's this combination of build quality, passionate engineering, and performance that compose a supercar. Supercars typically have only two seats and mid-engine layout, but don't let those familiar characteristics let you confuse one with a sports car. Instead, it must be clear that the design is focused on performance and presence above just about everything else.
What's the difference between a Sports car and a Supercar?
While a sports car offers the spirit of a driver-oriented vehicle, it is held back by cost-cutting measures and is forced to use more common components. A supercar corrects all of these shortcomings and increases the price to live up to the dreams of what a sports car could be. In many ways, a supercar is a sports car reaching its full potential.
For example, many people ask the following: is a Corvette a supercar? The short answer is no. Corvettes often use drivetrain components that are found amongst other vehicles in Chevy's lineup. A Corvette is also priced to be relatively affordable, and cost a fraction of the price of a world-class supercar. Higher trim cars like the Corvette ZR-1 offer supercar levels of performance and often use model-specific parts, but their construction holds them back from being a full-fledged supercar—even if they can run with them on the track.
What about the other end of the spectrum? Is an Audi R8 a supercar? Yes; based on the construction, pricing, and performance, the Audi R8 is one of the best entry-level supercars on the market. Although it shares drivetrains with the Lamborghini Huracan, the R8's refined, understated (comparatively speaking), and focused design makes it a fully-fledged supercar worth dreaming about.
Can Anyone buy a supercar?
You know the saying, "If you have to ask, you can't afford it." The supercar world actually comes with a few important caveats, though. How much is a supercar? prices range from the low six-figures and go up from there, with virtually no defined limit—unless you want to bring hypercars into the discussion. If you can afford the astonishing prices of a supercar, there are other factors to be considered, and maintenance and reliability aren't the only ones.
Manufacturers can produce limited-production models and invite their preferred customers to purchase the car, leaving normal people to wait for the model to find its way to the secondary market, typically at auction. These limited-production supercars represent some of the most exclusive products on the market and can limit you from buying a supercar if you're not vetted by the brand.
Can anyone buy a supercar? For the most part, if it's within your means, yes. But there are rare exceptions that require a history to be built up with the brand. Speaking of these cars, they're typically some of the highest performing models to be produced. What is the fastest supercar? That's a subjective question, but the Bugatti Chiron (which may rightly be considered a hypercar) is probably the best answer. The marque is building just 30 examples of Chiron Super Sport 300+, which can reportedly exceed 300 mph. In terms of acceleration, the Porsche 918 Spyder can sprint to 60 mph in just 2.2 seconds, faster than anything else.
Car enthusiasts will continue to argue the differences between sports cars and supercars, but at the end of the day, much of it comes down to the individual characteristics of a given model. There is no hard and fast definition for either, but there are plenty of examples that fit the bill.

Support services available for seniors in eastern Ontario

Seniors and adults living with disabilities can receive support during the COVID-19 pandemic
The Champlain Community Support Network collaborated with Carefor Eastern Counties, and other partners, to offer a support services program. It serves Ottawa, Renfrew County and the eastern Counties. It can be accessed online at communitysupport.covidresponse.ca.
Support services available for seniors in eastern Ontario Back to video
"There was a lot of interest bringing it more to the attention of the public, specifically in areas of managing risks around pharmacy deliveries, grocery deliveries, Meals on Wheels and telephone safety checks," Jason Samson, director of operations at Carefor Eastern Counties.
They also offer transportation to essential medical appointments, dementia support, and interactions with social groups either online or through the phone. Customers can place a service request for their family member through the website. Once requested, a representative will make a phone call to have those services delivered. A delivery can be completed the same day.
It has its own cooks on a regular basis. Usually, it'll happen on the next available day, between one or two business days at the most.
"The pandemic has really pushed a lot of health-care providers to think outside the box and to really shift way that they were doing business," said Samson. "We've really shined a spotlight on the vulnerable in the community.
"A community demonstrates how strong they are by how they can advocate and support the most vulnerable."
Representatives will also screen clients over the phone to identify individuals who might have a COVID-19 infection. If anyone is flagged with their answers, they are advised to contact public health.
Samson said seniors, especially in the rural areas, are isolated. It takes a little bit longer for them to go to the grocery stories than it would if they were based in Cornwall. As seniors are the most vulnerable who are self-isolating, they initiated telephone wellness checks through their centres. They also make meals in house and deliver it to the homes.
"We had to modify the program a bit for the safety of our volunteers who deliver the meals," said Samson. "We do a no-contact delivery. We show up, knock on the door, leave the meal by the door, step away and make sure the person answer's the door and collect their meal."
Telephone safety checks consist of a large database of clients, making Carefor employees familiar to them. Clients would visit the centres prior to the pandemic for the dining experience.
The main office is in Cornwall. It can be contacted at 613-932-3451. Other offices include Winchester, 613-774-6109; Finch, 613-984-2436; Ingleside, 613-537-8644; Alexandria, 613-525-4443; and, Lancaster, 613-347-1175.

Martyn Irvine says failing to qualify for this year's Olympic Games is a "massive" factor in his decision to retire from competitive cycling.
Irvine became the first Irish cyclist to win a world track title in 117 years with victory in the scratch race in Belarus in 2013.
The Newtownards man reflected on the highs and lows of his track career.
