Broadgate er et stort kontor- og forretningskompleks i den nordvestlige del af City of London, vest for Liverpool Street Station. Centeret dækker et areal på 1,2 hektar. I de seneste år har Broadgate i stor grad også været brugt om hele området omkring Liverpool Street Station.

British Rail var inde i projektet i en tidlig fase, og lancerede Broadgate som et led i finansiering af ombygningen af Liverpool Street Station. I 1986 lukkede den gamle Broad Street station, og samme år blev de to første bygninger i komplekset indviet. Arkitektfirmaet Arup Associates fik meget kritik for sin brutalistiske stil. Fem år senere bestod komplekset af 13 bygninger; de fleste beklædt med rosa granit. Centerets midtpunkt er Broadgate Arena, en cirkelrund plasd omgivet af rækker af butikker, barer og restauranter. Om sommeren er arenaen scene for forskellige kulturarrangementer; fra oktober til april bruges den som skøjtebane.

I 2008 udvides Broadgate med to nye, store byggerier – Bishopsgate nr. 201 og en skyskraber som får navnet Broadgate Tower. Broadgate Tower bliver den tredje højeste bygning i City – efter Tower 42 og Swiss Re-bygningen.

It is a paper track of the employees being paid and the taxes that are correctly calculated and paid. So, you see, it is quite important for a business to keep a paper trail, so to be safe.
A Payroll System in Dubai eases the input required from the HR department. They only have to input the salary and the hours the employee worked and the rest is up to the system to manage. In fact, the best part of the system from MenaITech which tracks the hours the employees worked, is that the system can be altered if there are any changes in laws or policy.
It's hard to imagine our lives without payroll systems, isn't it? We'd be thrown back to Stone Age without them. Employers and employees would have regular feuds regarding who gets paid what, and how many hours an employee has worked, all because there would be no solid paper trail to back everything up.
Buying a payroll system in Dubai is worth pondering over. These systems don't just collect details of the wages, hours, taxes, and leaves. They are more advanced than that. They not only keep track of all the data related to your employees' payroll but enable businesses to track their employees. You can keep an eye on the number of hours an employee works every week, including the time at which employees' time in and time out.
Firstly, the employee profile files are easily available for both employees and employers, making it easier for both parties to keep up. Then there are salary details, qualifications, education, leave reports, complaints against employees, automatic salary calculations, employee loans, attendance modules, vehicle reports, other basic details related to the company, automatic gratuity calculation, employee handbooks,and reminders.
So, to conclude, when talking about software, businesses should consider investing in the best payroll system available to them.

Topic: What's Your Soul Song?
A world transformed from darkness to light, from chaos to beauty, from fear to trust....This is a huge order for humanity, but we are moving forward, trusting in universal help to see us through. Help comes, and at this very time, the cosmic forces are delivering spring to us.
Each year, humanity is graced by the cosmic energies of Aries, Taurus, and Gemini, called the Three Major Spring Festivals. Streams of energy directly from the Eye of the Great Bear in the Big Dipper awaken humanity to renew its quest. Aries is motivated by Mars to move forward with action and energy. Taurus is motivated by Venus to restore beauty, and Gemini is motivated by Mercury to unite with higher mind.
These three spring festivals remind us we are cosmic beings, the Light of the World. When we forget who we are, we fall into chaos, confusion and lose our way. This is where we are now, in a giant sea of change. Gradually, through the wisdom of the planets and Wise Ones who guide Humanity, we once again begin to remember who we truly are. We stretch to find answers, we remember our forgotten dreams.
Invigorated by the fire of Aries, strengthened by the earth of Taurus, enlightened by the intelligence of Gemini, humanity begins again, moving forward, awakening to its dormant role of being the Light of the World. We are humanity, each one of us. When we are awakened, we can envision a world of beauty, harmony, and Oneness — that is how we become the Light of the World. We can do this, we can believe this, we can be all that we are meant to be.
The Board is excited to announce that the open board positions have been filled. We welcome Deborah Miller as our new Website Coordinator, and Kathy Connors as Secretary. Many thanks to Cheryl Larson and Martie Van Roekel for their many years of dedicated service as FSIM Website Coordinator and Secretary, respectively.

Tokyo Motor Show Part 2 - The Imports
Tokyo Motor show is all wrapped and done, giving us the opportunity to reflect on some of the cool cars and concepts I came across during the event. Part 1 was dedicated to the local brands, so here in part 2 we will see whether the Import brands had anything to show for.
Surprise of the the show was that Volvo decided to sit this one out, giving more floor space to the German and English manufacturers.
Which they have taken full advantage of, with the English making a strong appeal with the debut of the F-Pace to the Asian market
which was ironically positioned next to Range Rover- the godfather of everything off-road.
A part of space outside the exhibition halls were given to the Italians to show off the new Abarth and Alfa Romeo 4C Spider, but neither the Giulia, nor the Italian cars we all care for were anywhere to be seen.
If anything, Tokyo Motor show could use a few super-cars... Well, to be fair, there had one just to wet everybody's appetite.
Yet, if anybody takes Tokyo Motor Show with all seriousness it deserves, its' the Germans. By taking such huge bets on the show that doesn't have a whole lot going for it when compared to LA or Frankfurt, they are presenting themselves with opportunity to bring around new models and surprise us with new occasional unveils and concepts.
Audi has displayed then new Prologue Allroad Concpet powered by a duet of turbocharged V8 and an electric motor combining for 724HP.
As well putting emphasis on their Plus performance line-up.
There is something so appealing about lowered ride height, big wheels, and carbon fiber bits on the big and powerful S8.
But if there would be only one Audi that really matters, it has to be the R8. The car has evolved during its life span yet managed to adhere to the basic principles of delivering high performance attention grabbing luxury super-car for every day use.
Being stricken by environmental scandals,, Volkswagen was quiet about their diesel offerings, instead putting emphasis on the electric and high performance cars.
Golf R? Yes Please!
Mercedes Benz never disappoints. Perhaps having the most crowded booth at the event they had a vast variety of cars on display.
Japan's premiere of what I can only refer to as re-badged X6 - the GLE. Strangely, the car appeals to me with its blend of modern style, luxury and fluid lines. While the one here is representing the new AMG-sport line-up; personally, I can't wait to see the full blown AMG version.
Speaking of AMG, a few of the performance vehicle offerings were displayed up front. Reminds me that I need to go and drive the new C63 - the car is just so right for Japan!
As a car enthusiast who enjoys the very process of driving and being in control, I try to stay away from the whole notion of self-driving cars. However, when I saw this, I had to make an exception and give this creation attention it deserves. The new Mercedes Vision Tokyo is the company's idea of urban transportation. The car is powered by hydrogen fuel cell and is equipped with rotating seats, retractable table and is made feel like you are being moved around in a stylish living room.
That being said, despite the luxury and prestige, this is not the direction I want to be taken, so let's take a u-turn and head to Porsche's booth. Here you will not find any of the self driving nonsense, but rather a selection of exclusive cars for different tastes and minds that have one thing in common - they are all exuberantly rewarding to drive.
Why would anyone even consider letting the computer drive the new turbocharged Cerrera 4S, which made its global debut here Tokyo?
Even their new mid-size SUV - the Macan, which is sharing its base with somewhat character-less Q5 has been given the GTS treatment and is now even more sporty and aggressive than ever. Would you like me to drive?
Finally, the absolutely epic GT3RS.
With standard GT3 engine being stroked to 4.0 giving it 492HP on top of reduced weight and physics defying aerodynamics the GT3RS is the is the epitome of driving machine and I am thankful that raw beasts like these are still being made.
We make our final stop at BMW and Alpna booths where a vast variety of cars were unveiled and presented to the market that happens to have one of the most dedicated and passionate followers of the Bavarian brand.
BMW has just released the new 7 series, which has ultimately re-written how luxury cars are being built.
Beneath all the leather, wood, computers, and toys lies the "carbon core" - a construction method where carbon fiber is used to manufacture selected body panels and components making the car lighter, more economical, and more rigid, ultimately enhancing the driving experience.
Will we get to see the M7? With this method of construction, the chances of that happening increase substantially.
But before BMW jumps into new markets, they need to do what have been perfecting for last couple of decades.
It is do deliver a race-ready road legal variant of the car that defines BMW - M4. BMW has decided that the best opportunity to unveil the M4 GTS was at Tokyo Motor Show.
The car was displayed in frozen space gray paint with striking partially orange wheels and accents emphasizing features unique to the GTS. On the exterior part apart from front carbon lip and GT wing the OLED tail lights were the most talked about feature.
The interior presents a blend of spartan track car setup and BMW functionality with 8.8 inch high definition LCD, Idrive, and HUD being available alongside race bucket seats, roll cage, and a fire extinguisher. With only 700 units being made, BMW has just created a future classic.
When it comes to Tokyo Motor Show Alpina is never a stranger in town. As usual, the tuning brand has positioned their display space next to BMW while showing off a set of cars configured with exclusivity and style in mind. During this show they have unveiled B6 Gran Coupe, Convertible, X5, and B4 convertible.
Alpina's were always well received by the Japanese buyers looking to set themselves apart from the ordinary BMW owners. However, with BMW's stepping their game up in the luxury department, the old fashioned Alpina interiors and lack of performance benefits over the BMW may see the brand fall behind. That is not true in Japan as the exclusive brand tends to be on top of Japanese luxury market. Despite prices exceeding fully loaded M variants Alpina has managed to maintain their popularity in Japan as their sales have been soaring over last several years.
This wraps up our coverage of BMW and Tokyo Motor Show 2015. Thank you all for reading, following and sharing!

Q: If a linear map $A$ is injective, then there exists $c$ such that $|Ax|\geq c|x|\;\;\forall x$ If a linear map $A:\mathbb{R}^m\rightarrow \mathbb{R}^n$ is injective, then there exists $c>0$ such that $|Ax|\geq c|x|$ for all $x\in\mathbb{R}^m$
Could someone give any solution or hint?
Thanks.

A: Hint: Consider
$$
\alpha:=\inf_{\|x\|=1}\|Ax\|.
$$
This must exist and be non-negative, since $\|Ax\|\geq 0$ for all $x\in\mathbb{R}^m$. If $\alpha>0$, then you can use linearity to prove the desired result.  What happens if $\alpha=0$?

A: First note that if such an inequality holds on the unit sphere in the Euclidean norm then it is true for all $x\in\mathbb{R}^{n}$. This is because if we have
$\vert\vert Ax\vert\vert\ge C\vert\vert x\vert\vert=C$ for some constant $C>0$ on the unit sphere then we simply note that for any $x\in\mathbb{R}^{n}-\{0\}$ we have that $\frac{x}{\vert\vert x\vert\vert}$ has unit norm. So $\vert\vert A(\frac{x}{\vert\vert x\vert\vert})\vert\vert\ge \vert\vert \frac{x}{\vert\vert x\vert\vert}\vert$. Multiplying by $\vert\vert x\vert\vert$ which is simply a positive constant gives the inequality we desire.The inequallity holds trivially for $x=0$ so it holds for all of $\mathbb{R}^{n}$.
Note that $A$ is injective implies that $Ax=0$ only if $x=0$. Now we simply look at the function $f:S^{n-1}\to\mathbb{R}$ defined as $f(x)=\frac{\vert\vert Ax\vert\vert}{\vert\vert x\vert\vert}=\vert\vert Ax\vert\vert$. This is a continuous function on the compact surface $S^{n-1}$ and so attains a minimum on the unit sphere. Since A is injecive the lower bound is some $C>0$. This gives the bound we desire.

A: Since $\ker A = \ker (A^T A)$, we see that $A$ is injective iff $A A^T$ is invertible.
It is easy to see that $A^T A$ is symmetric and positive semi-definite. Since $A^T A$ is invertible, we see that $A^T A$ is positive definite, hence $A^T A \ge \lambda I$, where $\lambda$ is the smallest eigenvalue of $A^TA$ (and $\lambda >0$).
Consequently we have $\|Ax\|^2 = \langle A x, Ax \rangle = \langle x, A^T Ax \rangle \ge \lambda \langle x, x \rangle = \lambda \|x\|^2$. Setting $c = \sqrt{\lambda}$ gives the desired result.

In the early part of 2016, Kevin McManamon made a solemn declaration of intent about the direction his inter-county career needed to take.
Customised, it seemed, as a substitute with that capacity to impact, McManamon's goals against Mayo in the drawn and replayed All-Ireland semi-finals the previous August and September seemed to frank that reputation. It was something he recoiled from when he spoke ahead of the following year's season.
"Sometimes it's a bit lazy to say the reason he (Jim Gavin) is not starting me is because I make an impact. That's not the case, I feel like I'm in control of it," said McManamon, identifying the "big bullseye" of a starting place at the business end of the season.
McManamon was a Dublin player for six seasons at this stage and not once had he started their last game of the season. In fact, his only last-eight start in that period was against Monaghan in the 2014 All-Ireland quarter-final.
His work over the following eight months to remedy that paid dividends, however. For the first and only time in his Dublin career he started all seven championship games, scoring in all bar two. He began the first 2017 championship match against Carlow in Portlaoise but, nine games later, he's still waiting for his next start.
The balance he enjoyed after that Leinster quarter-final, 20 starts from 40 championship appearances, has shifted again to an impact role with seven more games as a substitute. McManamon has always appreciated the level of competition he has faced, admitting in 2016 how it would be "a nice little feather in the cap if you could get in ahead one of the guys who are seen as the greats".
But the 'bullseye,' it seems, is that bit further away now with Con O'Callaghan, Niall Scully and Brian Howard all pushing through so hard over the last 14 months.
McManamon's capacity to 'impact' has manifested in those game-changing goals against Kerry (2011 and 2013) and Mayo (2015). From eight career goals, five have come off the bench.
Are some players more conditioned to coming into the game rather than starting? In his acclaimed autobiography 'Out Of Our Skins', the former Meath midfielder Liam Hayes dedicated a chapter to 'The Substitute', recalling the contribution of the supremely gifted Mattie McCabe to the Meath team of the late 1980s/early 1990s.
By being sprung so swiftly into action, asked Hayes, were latent doubts being kept under wraps?
The importance of the bench has grown significantly over the last two decades as the number of substitutes has doubled from three to six.
This decade that importance has grown with games stretching beyond 80 minutes and GPS trackers regularly showing double figures in kilometres for most players.
No one has a deeper and stronger bench than the All-Ireland champions and into that mix Cormac Costello has re-emerged.
Costello has just turned 24 but has spent all six years of his adult career, after Dublin's 2012 All-Ireland minor success, on the senior squad.
Yet his contributions have been fleeting in that time. From 13 championship appearances he has started just once, lasting 40 minutes of Dublin's 2014 All-Ireland semi-final defeat to Donegal. All told, he's seen a little over four hours of championship action (not including injury-time) which is extraordinary for a player of his talent.
Injuries – hamstring, collarbone, ankle – have badly hampered him at different stages of his career but the zip be brought to Dublin's play on his introduction last Saturday evening against Donegal was a reminder of what he brings and how comfortable and impactful he is coming into a game.
Costello's contribution off the bench have ranged from the sublime – three points against Mayo in the 2016 replay, 1-5 against Wexford in the 2014 Leinster semi-final – to the most cynical – a clear black card for dragging down Kerry's Brian ó Beaglaoich late in the 2016 All-Ireland semi-final and throwing away David Clarke's kicking tees in the closing stages of against Mayo in last year's All-Ireland final.
Kerry's Barry John Keane is another who finds the 'supersub' tag difficult to shake. His inter-county career stretches nine years now and while he didn't feature with Kerry in 2013, his introduction last Sunday gave him a 37th championship appearance for Kerry and 34th off the bench.
At underage level, Tyrone's Ronan O'Neill was regularly touted to be the county's next big attacking asset as Mickey Harte's trio of All-Ireland-winning teams broke up but he too had developed a reputation for being more influential late on and selection has reflected that.
From 29 appearances, O'Neill has had just eight championship starts including all five in the 2016 championship, an imbalance in the context of the path that was envisaged for him.
Sometimes it just goes like that for a player. Barry Moran dropped anchor on 13 years as an inter-county footballer with Mayo this week, having played 35 championship games of which more, 18 to 17, were as a substitute.
Sometimes the role just fits and it's almost impossible to escape the thinking that commissioned it in the first place.

Disciplinary Honors is its own unique track within the Honors College that allows sophomores and above to join the Honors College and explore your major in depth. Admission to Disciplinary Honors requires a minimum cumulative UNCG GPA of 3.30 to 3.50, depending on your major. Click here to apply to the Disciplinary Honors Program.
In Disciplinary Honors you'll work one-on-one with professors in your major, study topics in depth, and do original, sophisticated research, scholarly work, or creative projects that will help prepare you to enter graduate or professional school or embark on a career. The requirements for the Disciplinary Honors Program vary by major, but require few, if any, additional classes. Students are responsible for verifying their department's individual departmental requirements via the UNCG Undergraduate Bulletin or in consultation with your Honors Liaison or the Honors College's Disciplinary Honors Adviser.
The Disciplinary Honors requirements by department are available HERE.
Each academic department at UNCG has a faculty member who serves as Honors Liaison who is knowledgeable about his or her department's Disciplinary Honors program. You are encouraged to get to know the Liaison in your department, especially by the time you are a junior and fully in your major.
The majority of a student's work within Disciplinary Honors typically is encompassed by enhancing courses already required by your specific major through an Honors Contract. Generally, these enhancements take the form of an additional paper, an additional presentation, an expansion of course assignments, additional meetings with the professor teaching the course, or some combination of these enhancements. Some majors also offer special Honors sections of courses or require specific courses within the major for Disciplinary Honors.
The Senior Honors Project is the culmination of a student's Disciplinary Honors experience. The Senior Honors Project can take a variety of forms: a paper, a performance, a scientific experiment, a product. Whatever its form, the Project must have a written component, it should employ scholarship, and it should make a significant contribution to a body of knowledge.
Topics, methods of investigation, and modes of presentation vary from discipline to discipline. Typically, students announce a problem that they wish to solve, survey background information to define and explain the problem, and present evidence and reasoning in support of a thesis or hypothesis. The student's work culminates in an original essay, an annotated creative work or performance, a scientific experiment or report, or a product.
The length of a Senior Honors Project depends on the topic and discipline. A Project in the humanities could be a paper of 30 to 50 pages, whereas the written part of a Project in the sciences or performing arts could be considerably shorter. The Project can focus on any topic of the student's choosing. Senior Honors Projects must be supervised and approved by a UNCG faculty member from a department in which the subject under consideration is taught. Students should speak to their Honors Liaison well in advance of beginning the Senior Honors Project.
Some past Senior Honors Projects may be found in NCDOCKS. Previous students have said that reading through examples of previous years' projects helped them immensely. We would be happy to talk with you about your Senior Honors Project.
Students who have completed all requirements for Disciplinary Honors by graduation will be recognized at the annual Spring Honors banquet or Fall Cording Ceremony and will have the Disciplinary Honors designation, along with the title of their Senior Honors Project, added to their official transcripts. Graduating Honors students will be assessed a $30 graduation fee.
Students who complete both the Disciplinary Honors Program and the International Honors Program are awarded Full University Honors for their sustained Honors work throughout their time as undergraduate students.
The Department of Human Development and Family Studies offers a B.S. degree in Birth through Kindergarten Education with two concentrations: BK Licensure and Early Care and Education. Students are admitted to UNCG as pre-majors, then gain Secondary Admission to be majors following completion of specified major courses and earning a minimum required GPA. Both programs afford students the ability to complete all degree requirements online with asynchronous and synchronous course delivery and offer the opportunity to pursue Disciplinary Honors.
The Bryan School of Business & Economics offers two undergraduate online degree completion programs: B.S in Business Administration with a concentration in Business Studies and a B.S in Information Systems & Supply Chain Management with a concentration in Supply Chain Management. Both programs afford students the ability to complete all degree requirements online with asynchronous delivery and offer the opportunity to pursue Disciplinary Honors.
The Department of Public Health Education offers a B.S in Public Health with a concentration in Health Studies. Our online degree completion program allows students to complete all degree requirements online and provides enriching academic opportunities for students to pursue the distinction of Disciplinary Honors.
The College of Arts and Sciences offers a Bachelor of Arts in Liberal Studies with concentrations in Humanities, Social Sciences, and Professional Studies. This interdisciplinary online degree completion program allows students to complete all degree requirements online. Students have the option to pursue Disciplinary Honors.
Students newly admitted to UNCG who are in the UNCG in 3 Program are strongly encouraged to apply to Disciplinary Honors after you have completed one semester at UNCG rather than International Honors. Why? Most UNCG in 3 students come to UNCG with a significant amount of their general education courses completed, either through AP or IB credit, dual enrollment, early or middle college courses, or some other option. The Honors courses you are required to take in the International Honors program would therefore constitute an addition 13 credit hours of coursework outside of your major.
However, if you choose to pursue Disciplinary Honors, you will take Honors courses in your major. The majority of these courses are courses you need to take for your degree anyway, so you are not adding substantial additional credit hours. The application process for Disciplinary Honors is slightly different from the International Honors process: you can apply after at least one semester at UNCG, and after you have 30-40 credit hours of college credit (including the credits you bring with you to UNCG). At the time of application, you will need a minimum cumulative UNCG GPA of 3.30 to 3.50, depending on your major. Overall, the Disciplinary Honors program is the best option for students who are looking to complete their degree in 3 years or less. It is flexible (you choose your honors courses!), adaptable, and helps you to build meaningful relationships with faculty mentors who will be immensely helpful to you after graduation, whatever you decide to pursue.

This diagnosis is often made when a patient presents with a complaint of pain under their heel bone, or calcaneus. It can affect one foot at a time, or both feet simultaneously. The patient usually gives a history of pain after a period of rest. The first few steps after getting up in the morning are the worst, usually followed by a period of improvement, but then after sitting for a while or driving and then walking again can produce the same complaint. Xrays are usually taken to rule out different causes of heel pain, but are often read as normal.
Initial treatment is conservative, with instructions on stretching the Achilles tendon several times a day, icing the painful area, and ibuprofen or other non steroidal anti inflammatory agents of choice. Physical therapy including ultrasound and TENS may be helpful. Running shoes or at least a soft-soled shoe should be worn most of the time, and not wearing flip-flops are important. Walking barefoot on hard surfaces should be avoided. Cortisone injections and orthotics are often prescribed if initial treatment is not successful, and surgery to incise part of the plantar fascia or shock wave therapy are performed in the more recalcitrant cases.

Středisko Freda Hutchinsona pro výzkum rakoviny (anglicky Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center) je výzkumný institut sídlící v americkém městě Seattle.

Historie
Středisko vzniklo z Pacific Northwest Research Foundation (PNRF), která byla založena roku 1956 Williamem B. Hutchinsonem a věnovala se studiu kardiochirurgie, rakoviny a onemocnění endokrinního systému. V roce 1964 zemřel na rakovinu plic Hutchinsonův mladší bratr Fred, nadhazovač za baseballový tým Detroit Tigers. Následující rok se na bratrovu počest Hutchinson rozhodl založit Středisko Freda Hutchinsona pro výzkum rakoviny, tehdy ještě jako součást PNRF. Jako nezávislé bylo Středisko otevřeno až v roce 1975.

Nositelé Nobelovy ceny
Ve Středisku Freda Hutchinsona pro výzkum rakoviny působí nebo působili tři nositelé Nobelovy ceny za fyziologii a lékařství:
 Linda B. Bucková, která cenu obdržena v roce 2004 za objev receptorů, jež umožňují vnímat vůně a pachy

M1050 LRF 10x50, Laser Rangefinder is rated 2.0 out of 5 by 1.
Rated 2 out of 5 by jermain from OK The LRF does not return on targets over about 1100 meters. The Claim is for returns on "highly reflective" targets out to 1860 Yards. What constitutes a highly reflective target? A man, a tank, a mud building, maybe a mirror? I guess if I'm ever targeting massive mirrored office buildings these are the binos of choice! I don't know why they call them "military." They are rugged and can probably take a beating, but beyond that there isn't much "military" about them. There is no Mils pattern for round spotting, so they are just civilian binos with an under performing LRF. For the exuberant cost I expected more, the non-expiring warranty and superb optics removes some of the bad taste in my mouth, but I would not recommend this purchase for anyone doing serious Military tactical targeting.
Good afternoon. I want to buy the Binocular Steiner M1050 LRF 10x50 LRF Ref. 5977 in Colombia. it's possible? what is the price?
Unfortunately, no importer is currently established in your country.
Do you make a case for the 10x50 LRF?
I just purchased a pair of M50 LRF binoculars and am trying to figure out how to mount them to a tripod. One of my reasons for purchasing this unit was the "Tripod Mount" feature sited in the specifications.
The very front portion of the center post is actually a threaded cap, insert a flathead screwdriver or coin into the slot and twist it off, and it will expose a standard tripod mounting plate.
I purchased the 10x50 LRF binos and like them so far, but how does the tripod mount work? I can't find any obvious mount and the manual doesn't address it.
hello, where can I buy this item steiner lrf 10x50  in Sweden?
I have Steiner Military 10x50 LRF that need to be repaired. Can you send me to the nearest repair point?
What is the Max range for the laser range finder?

Godzilla made its debut in 1954 when the mythical, man-eating monster, inadvertently created by an atomic blast, emerged from the Pacific Ocean to carve a path of death and destruction across Japan, much to the chagrin of the country's overmatched military. A couple of years later, Raymond Burr narrated a documentary-style, English-language remake which was basically a dubbed version of the original with his lines spliced in.
Despite relying for decades on terribly-stilted scripts and a guy in a rubber suit towering over a scale model of a toy-sized Tokyo, the B-movie franchise has remained popular enough to spawn thirty-something sequels and counting. This relatively-upscale reboot of the series, however, abandons the campy dialogue and cheesy trick photography in favor of an emotionally-engaging plot as well as state-of-the-art special f/x.
Furthermore, while the 2014 edition Godzilla still looks like a fire-breathing, mutated iguana, he behaves more like a benign, anthropomorphic ally of humanity than its evil adversary. The villains, here, are a couple of nuclear waste-ingesting MUTOs (Massive Unidentified Terrestrial Organisms) that are not only threatening to level San Francisco but are poised to unleash a litter of their equally-hostile offspring.
In case you're wondering, there's plenty of precedent for Godzilla's squaring-off against fellow behemoths. Consider such classic showdowns as King Kong vs. Godzilla (1962), Mothra vs. Godzilla (1964) and Godzilla vs. Megalon (1973), to name a few.
Although, this one's finale is well worth the wait, it sure takes its sweet time getting around to that spectacular battle royal. In fact, we don't even get a peek at Godzilla during the film's first hour, which is instead devoted to developing characters and filling in the back story.
The picture was directed by Gareth Edwards (Monsters) who assembled a surprisingly-sophisticated ensemble for an action-oriented, summer blockbuster. The cast includes Breaking Bad's Bryan Cranston, Academy Award-winner Juliette Binoche (for The English Patient), and nominees David Strathairn (for Good Night, and Good Luck), Sally Hawkins (Blue Jasmine) and Ken Watanabe (The Last Samurai).
The adventure revolves around the Brody family whose plight provides the audience with the incentive to invest emotionally in the outcome. Widowed patriarch Joe (Cranston) is driven to learn the truth behind the catastrophe at a Japanese nuclear power plant that claimed his late wife's (Binoche) life 15 years earlier. Their son, Ford (Aaron Taylor-Johnson), a Navy explosives disposal expert, agrees to accompany his dad to the Orient, leaving behind a worried wife (Elizabeth Olsen) and son (Carson Bolde) behind in San Francisco.
Of course, all hell eventually breaks loose back home when anthropomorphic Godzilla selflessly rises to the occasion in defense of the city. Will the MUTOs meet their match? Will the separated Brodys manage to survive the apocalyptic mayhem for a tearful reunion?
A surprisingly haunting and panoramic picture exploring universal themes like loss and yearning, yet with all the fixins for first-rate action entertainment. Hey, why didn't they make monster movies like this when I was a kid?

There is no greater priority than fighting for those who fought for us.
As a 20-year Navy veteran, I know firsthand the unique challenges and opportunities that our veterans face as they transition out of service.
As a member of the House Veterans' Affairs Committee, I wrote and passed legislation that provided a critical pay raise for disabled veterans, pressed the VA to find ways to make jobs programs easier to use, cosponsored legislation to increase veteran access to employment programs, and cosponsored a bipartisan bill to allow veterans access to in-state tuition in any state they choose.
And as a veteran, I was appalled by the mistake in the 2017 Tax Bill that was causing some Gold Star families to pay thousands of dollars in additional taxes on their survivor benefits. So, I worked with Republicans and Democrats to ensure those families received every cent they deserve.
Everyone deserves access to quality and affordable health care.
We still have work to do to ensure every American has access to the quality and affordable health care they deserve. That's why during my time in Congress I've fought against efforts to take health care away from Americans and their families. I have, and will continue to, stand up to the pharmaceutical lobby and work to lower prescription drug prices by making less expensive, generic drugs more quickly available to consumers, and require that health insurance providers cover patients with pre-existing conditions.
I will continue to work to improve health care access and affordability and strengthen the ACA to ensure all Americans have access to affordable health coverage.
As your Congresswoman, I've fought to help businesses, both big and small, across Coastal Virginia create the well-paying jobs with good benefits to ensure our economy thrives and opportunities are available to everyone who works hard.
Since taking office, I have toured more than 50 local businesses in our district to hear directly from constituents about how Congress can cut through red tape, grow our regional economy, create jobs, and protect the middle class.
I voted to increase the federal minimum wage which could give over 100,000 workers in our district the pay-raise they deserve, and I cosponsored the Paycheck Fairness Act because it is time women receive equal pay for equal work.
As a small business owner, I know the struggles our business community faces and understand the challenges a company can face navigating the red tape in Washington. That's why I have worked within the community to advocate for small businesses. When I meet with business leaders, I frequently hear that they have well-paying jobs that they cannot fill because they cannot find enough people with the relevant skillset. That is why I am working to support apprenticeship programs, career and technical education, and access to broadband so workers can attain the skills they need to advance their careers.
And as a veteran, I was appalled by the mistake in the 2017 Tax Bill that was causing some Gold Star families to pay thousands of dollars in additional taxes on their survivor benefits. So, I introduced legislation with bipartisan support to ensure those families received every cent they deserve.
Clean air and water isn't just vital to our way of life in Coastal Virginia, it's a right.
I am fighting to ensure all Americans breathe clean air and water and have access to pristine natural environments. Coastal Virginia, home to Chesapeake Bay, generates $33 billion for our economy and is one of our nation's natural treasures.
I've fought to ensure the cleanup efforts in The Bay continue to be fully funded to protect our economy and way of life. That's why I introduced bipartisan legislation to secure $85 billion to advance our shared goals of a clean and healthy Bay.
I am also helping lead the critical fight against drilling off the coast of Virginia. Offshore drilling threatens our national security and safety of our sailors and our tourism economy by spoiling our beautiful beaches and shorelines. I was proud to cosponsor bipartisan legislation to protect our precious coastline.
It is critical to ensure the brave women and men who serve have the resources, support, and equipment they need. That's why I fought to ensure that our troops received a 3.1% pay raise. As a 20-year Navy veteran, member of the House Armed Services Committee, and Vice Chair of the Seapower and Projection Forces subcommittee, I know the challenges facing our men and women in uniform as they fight for freedom around the globe.
As a 20-year Navy veteran and member of the House Armed Services Committee, I know the challenges facing our men and women in uniform as they fight for freedom around the globe. I am committed to supporting policies that will improve life for active duty military, support military families, and ensure the Department of Defense spends your tax dollars as efficiently and effectively as possible.
But a strong, well-funded military is only part of maintaining national security. I support diplomacy to resolve conflicts whenever possible. It is also important to support our allies, such as Israel, to protect U.S. interests around the world.
I am also fighting for Gold Star Families – those who have made the greatest sacrifice imaginable by losing an immediate relative in combat or to a service connected disability.
Every Senior that paid into Social Security and Medicare deserves the benefits they've earned.
One of my top priorities is working to strengthen Medicare and Social Security. Hardworking seniors who paid into Social Security and Medicare deserve retirement security and health care coverage.
I've sponsored legislation to allow the government to negotiate with drug companies to keep our costs in check while providing seniors with the life-saving medicines they need.
While Washington continues to vote to gut protections for people with pre-existing conditions, I've led the fight to protect Virginia's historic Medicaid expansion. Our focus should be lowering health care costs and the price of prescription drugs – not taking health care away.
Every child deserves access to a world-class education.
Education begins well before K-12 schooling, that's why as a mother and Congresswoman, I'm proud to support universal pre-K to build a strong foundation for young students to thrive. But this is not only an education issue it is an economic imperative for working and military families.
In Congress, I was proud to support the Rebuild America's Schools Act that provides direct federal spending for school modernizations, renovations, and repairs, with priority given to public schools in underserved communities. I also advocated for the unique education needs of our military community. I helped secure $50 million to support districts with significant military child enrollment and for military children with severe disabilities.
As your Congresswoman, I'll continue promoting expansion of career and technical education because while college might not be for everyone, a path to the middle class must be. That's why I also support adequate student loan forgiveness so students who want to go to college can. No student should be deterred from seeking higher education because of the cost.
Reducing America's reliance on foreign oil, while simultaneously combatting climate change is essential to our national security and protecting our coastal region. This is a threat Congress must address today, particularly in coastal communities that are impacted by seal level rise and recurrent flooding.
I've led the charge to make Coastal Virginia a national and global leader in our clean energy future. For our district this is not a problem of tomorrow, it's a threat today. I have laid out a bold vision for cutting greenhouse gas emissions while investing in the jobs and infrastructure of the future.
As a nuclear engineer in the Navy, I saw firsthand that nuclear power, when deployed safely and responsibly, can play a key role in our green energy future. That's why I introduced legislation to encourage innovation in nuclear technologies.
Investing in our nation's infrastructure is vital to boosting not only our district's economy, but the global economy.
Our district, which is home to one of the largest ports on the East Coast, depends on improving our maritime infrastructure. That's why I secured $15 million for operations and maintenance at Norfolk Harbor and led a bipartisan effort urging Congress to fund infrastructure projects in military communities. I am proud to have helped deliver needed funds for resiliency projects for communities battling sea level rise and recurrent flooding
But our needs go beyond maritime infrastructure, roads, and bridges. Investments in broadband infrastructure are necessary to ensure that our rural communities stay connected in the ever-expanding global economy. Critical to those investments is protecting net-neutrality. I'm proud to have sponsored legislation to restore net neutrality so the farmers, entrepreneurs, and innovators of Coastal Virginia can stay competitive.
A woman's right to choose should be made between a woman, her health care provider, and her faith. We need to enshrine reproductive freedom protections into federal law to protect Americans from government overreach and restore the rights of women across the country. I will continue to be an advocate in Congress for women and fight to protect the rights of all Americans, including the right to choose.
We need commonsense measures to keep our communities safe from gun violence and protect law-abiding citizens' Second Amendment rights.
As a former Navy Commander and now as a Member of Congress, I took an oath to protect this nation and its people, while simultaneously swearing to protect our Constitution. I believe that law-abiding citizens should be able to own guns and exercise their second amendment rights, but commonsense measures are necessary to keep our communities safe from preventable gun violence.
I joined bipartisan commonsense reform efforts like requiring universal background checks and encouraging red flag laws, which can prevent an individual from purchasing or retaining their firearm for a certain period if they are determined to be a danger to themselves or others.
But this issue took on even greater urgency after the mass shooting in Virginia Beach. Along with all members of the Virginia Beach community, I will forever remember and honor the individuals who were tragically taken from their families and loved ones.

Q: Appcompat ActionBar Tab having Fragment Issue public static class SectionsPagerAdapter extends FragmentPagerAdapter {

    public SectionsPagerAdapter(FragmentManager fm, HomeActivity activity) {
        super(fm);
    }

    @Override
    public Fragment getItem(int i) {
        switch (i) {
            case 0:
                return new FragmentOne();
            case 1:
                return new FragmentTwo();
            case 2:
                return new FragmentThree();

            default:
                return null;
        }
    }

    @Override
    public int getCount() {
        return 3;
    }

    @Override
    public CharSequence getPageTitle(int position) {
        switch (position)
        {
            case 0 : return "Fragment 1";
            case 1 : return "Fragment 2";
            case 2 : return "Fragment 3";
            //TODO
            default : return "";
        }
    }
}

The above is the adapter for view pager. The problem is :

when clicking Tab 1, onResume() of FragmentOne and FragmentTwo get called.
   going Tab1 to Tab 2, onResume() of FragmentThree called.
   going Tab2 to Tab 3,  onPause() of FragmentOne called.
   going Tab3 to Tab 2,  onResume() of FragmentOne called.

Why all the Fragments are called in this way?

A: The answer is in the way how ViewPager works. By default it stores three fragments: the one which is shown currently, one previous and one next (if present). If you want to prevent Pager from loading extra Fragments you may call its method setOffscreenPageLimit(0), but actually I wouldn't recommend doing it. So it is not an issue it is working in a way it is intended to work.
UPD: By the way if you want to make your Pager more memory efficient, you may use FragmentStatePagerAdapter instead of FragmentAdapter, it actually destroys fragments instead of simply detaching them.
UDP2: I'm terribly sorry but offscreenPageLimit can be not fewer than 1. So in your case since your Fragment shows a ProgressDialog it passes its host Activity as context. That's why ProgressDialog shows up when adjacent Fragment is shown. So in onResume() method of your Fragment you should check UservisibleHint of the Fragment in order to check if this is the Fragment, shown to user. If it is true then show dialog if not, then dismiss it. Like this:
@Override
public void onResume() {
    super.onResume();
    if (getUserVisibleHint()) {
        progressDialog = ProgressDialog.show(getActivity(), "blah-blah-blah", "blah-blah-blah");
    }
    else {
        if (progressDialog != null && progressDialog.isShowing()) progressDialog.dismiss();
    }
}

Plug-in hybrids are more energy efficient than electric vehicles
In EV mode plug-in hybrid vehicles are more efficient than some electric cars. The trend towards plug-in hybrids is steadily growing.
With so many new types of vehicles on the road, Torque News took a look at which are rated most efficient by EPA estimates. This article was inspired by research done on the selection of a green vehicle for the Torque News "What I would buy" series organized by Patrick Rall, Editor of Torque News. During the research it became apparent that not all electric cars have the same efficiency, that Plug-in-hybrids (PIH) can have better efficiency in some cases, and that size and shape of the vehicle is not really a good predictor of the car's overall efficiency.
First we must define efficiency. Rather than recreate the wheel we will use the EPA's definition. EPA realized that it needed to use some form of measurement to allow shoppers to determine how efficient an electric vehicle is. The efficiency model is selected was "miles per gallon equivalent." Regardless of how the EPA defined efficiency there would be those that disliked the choice. MPGe has the benefit of being easily understood by shoppers used to miles per gallon. As an engineer, I have no preference for units. I would be just as happy with coulombs per furlong, as long as the values are accurately measured, and are consistent.
In order to understand how plug-in hybrid vehicles work it is important to first realize there is not just one type. There are really two. The first, are those that are designed to primarily be used as electric vehicles. The Chevy Volt defines this category and it really is the only one selling at this point. The second type of plug-in hybrid car is a car that is a hybrid, meaning it usually uses the gas engine, but augments that with electric drive. What makes the plug-in variants different is that they can hold enough electric charge in their batteries to get you to the shopping mall, get you to work (maybe), and allow you to do most of your weekend activities using only electric power. The Toyota Prius PIH, Honda Accord PIH, and many others are examples of this type of drive.
In contrast to these vehicles that offer some electric drive are the pure electric vehicles. These are cars that can only use electric drive. There is no gas engine on board. The Nissan Leaf and the Tesla Model S are the best examples of these types of cars. At this point we should stop and recognize that these are very, very rare automobiles. In a new car market like the US, which sees over 13 million new vehicles sold per year on average, there have only been about 30,000 of these cars in total sold to customers per year over the past few years. Before that there weren't any models of any significant number being sold. Contrast this with the Ford F-150 which sells about 650,000 units each year and it gives you some perspective. However, green car advocates say that the electric car is about to explode in popularity and they are likely correct. If they are not correct, it won't be gas powered cars that keep them from being popular, it will be the plug-in hybrids and hybrids, which are now selling in much larger numbers.
Hybrid technology is now so ubiquitous that some cars, and car makers have simply stopped mentioning it. Chevrolet and GM started this trend. They have been applying hybrid technology to many models and they don't use the term hybrid at all. At the other end of the market, BMW now applies many hybrid derived technologies such as auto stop-start to almost all of its models. The best example of a hybrid technology that is now 100% adopted is electric steering. There will be no more hydraulic steering vehicles to come.
Now that we have looked closely at the offered groups of cars, let's compare some cars and see how they do against one another. For our comparison we will rely upon FuelEconomy.gov and the manufacturer's information, but only if the EPA information was actual, not projected. Also, it makes sense to balance the manufacturer's information with another source since it can be sometimes a little deceiving. They tend to highlight their best mileage in the model range in their marketing information, and then provide the worst (but fastest, and longest range models) for testing to the car magazines and other automotive journalists.
Let's first compare the Honda Accord PIH to its stable-mate, the all-electric Honda Fit EV. When driven as an electric car, for the 13 or so miles it can travel on its batteries, the Accord has an EPA estimated 115 MPGe. The car is a large, comfortable five passenger vehicle, with a large trunk. The Honda Fit EV by comparison is smaller, but still claims five passenger room and has a hatch-back design, so storage is possible as long as you don't mind passers-by to see the items in the car (think laptop and purse). The Fit has an EPA estimated 118 MPGe. What happened? Why isn't the Fit dramatically more fuel efficient?
Let's now compare the Honda Accord PIH to the all-electric Tesla Model S. In this comparison we must choose which Model S to compare because there are multiple versions. We will select the most energy efficient model listed by fueleconomy.gov which has a 60 kw-hr battery pack. The Tesla has an energy efficiency score of 95 MPGe. These two cars could not be more alike. Both are 5 passenger sedans and have similar dimensions, though the Tesla is notably larger in width. Why would the Tesla score so much lower than the Accord? One clue is the battery capacity. The Tesla with the larger battery scores even lower on the MPGe scale at 89 MPGe. So we know that a change to the drive system can obviously change the efficiency. Aerodynamics and weight also play a role.
Clearly at this point the case can be made that the plug-in hybrids are coming on strong. The Prius PIH with a score of 95, the Chevy Volt with a score of 98 and the Nissan Leaf with a score of 99 MPGe are very close comparisons. Fans of electric only drive will cry foul and point out, correctly, that many PIH vehicles will burn significant amounts of gas. While that is true today, since the PIH vehicles (Volt aside) only go about 10 or 15 miles on electric drive, all batteries are progressing, slowly, but surely. It will not be long before the technology allows for a low cost PIH system to be applied to a more or less conventional car that will propel it 20 miles on electricity only. At that point it will start to become very difficult to claim an EV is more energy efficient in actual daily operation. Perhaps we will even see 20 mile EV ranges on cars such as Mustang GTs and Camaro SS muscle cars.

Well thought out, John. I might argue with you over how you've defined the plug-ins, but it doesn't change your overall point, so it's not really relevant.
Rob wrote on March 14, 2013 - 5:58am Permalink
This is a very odd article. Saying some Plug in hybrids are more efficient in EV mode then some EV's is exactly the same as saying "some EV's are more efficient then other EV's" Its true but it doesn't really mean anything.
John Goreham wrote on March 14, 2013 - 12:41pm Permalink
Rob, Thank you very much for pointing this out. For clarification, I will say plainly that the Accord PIH can be operated 23% more energy efficiently than the all-electric Tesla. I think to many green car advocates that will be great news, but disturbing. This is because the take-home price of the Accord is under $30K in many states and the Tesla, well one should budget at least $50K to $100K depending on taste. Also, it highlights that EVs are not the greenest cars in America - maybe. Our readers have made it quite clear in their comments that they don't consider Plug-in Hybrids "Real electric cars." That they can be operated more cleanly than all-electric cars might be a surprise to those readers. I appreciate your comments. Please keep them coming.
Rob wrote on March 14, 2013 - 11:55pm Permalink
Yes, and the 60kwh Tesla can be operated more efficiently then the 85kwh model S. The accord is shorter, significantly narrower with less then half the luggage space. The reality is that the model S is a BIG sedan and that has efficiency downsides, the mid size gen 3 Tesla will be substantially more efficient. Comparing one particular hybrid with a much larger EV and declaring hybrids are more efficient is meaningless.
John Goreham wrote on March 16, 2013 - 4:38pm Permalink
The Accord is also more efficient than the Leaf when it is operated as an EV. Perhaps someday shoppers will start to consider the comparative efficiency of cars with electric drive options. Perhaps not.
Captain Obvious wrote on March 15, 2013 - 12:26pm Permalink
Hey dummy. The Model S is 1000 lbs heavier than the Accord and has over 2x the horsepower. And you conclude the sloth is more efficient than the bobcat. Great logic there Sherlock.
How come the bigger, heavier, more powerful Accord is more efficient than the Nissan Leaf Watson?
David wrote on March 15, 2013 - 10:47am Permalink
I think key point is how much you drive. Furthermore, this article barely considers the relative cost of EV vs PIH (everyone brings up the Tesla at $100k but this is an aluminum intensive luxury sports car... not fair to compare to a boring sedan like the accord or volt). When you exceed the 20 mile range of the PIH, you are burning a lot more gas than a subcompact or 'traditional' hybrid (and PIH carry a premium over these cars). A pure EV (though you are completely limited by electric range) provide sustained efficiency for longer distance. It may sound counter intuative to the general public but a pure EV is actually better if you regularly drive a 'long' distance (ex 50 mile round trip or 100 mile round trip if workplace charging is available). Of course you'll also need a second car for the rare trip beyond 100 miles... but I think the fact that EV advocates have noticed is that this model fits better with the actual current market in the US. Few people have 1 car that they only use 20mile a day and spend $40~50k (is the accord really $30k?? that's over 10k less than a volt??? I think accord is more like $40k vs a leaf which is $28k).
Good insight. If you regularly drive a "Long" distance to work are you living green? Starting MSRP on the Accord is $39,780. The article notes that after the federal and state rebates the price is under $30K. Perhaps that is not correct, but I'm pretty sure it is. That price includes Nav and a lot of the newest safety gadgets like forward collission warning, lane departure, etc and also all the typical luxury items a luxury hybrid comes with. Here is an interesting fact, the Accord PIH gets 46 mpg combined (47 city, 46 highway) when it is operated as a gas (only) powered car. So actually, it would be more fuel efficient than every subcompact in the US market and a very competitive hybrid. For example, it is more fuel efficient than the Camry hybrid and the Malibu Eco. It gets 124 mpge city when operated as an EV. It uses regular unleaded too. That saves owners 10% on fuel costs vs premium.
David wrote on March 16, 2013 - 5:27pm Permalink
John, the point is each car you mention is designed for a specific market. It's well known that the leaf makes compramises in order to make ev's affordable. By contrast, a tesla makes no compramises, it's the best an ev can do in luxury and performance (though the objective isn't so much efficiency... It doesn't need to be since the electric drivetrain itself puts it in the 'green' class). Pih's are more expensive inherently due to paying for 2 powerplants; i didnt realize the accord did so well in milage (i dont believe the volt does) but purchase price alone isnt enough to judge. honda is known for bringing products to market at a loss and then abanduning them when they dont take off (think the last accord). efficiency and cost in engineering terms need to be viewed in apples to apples terms, your article claims inharent efficiency of pih vs pure ev, however you merely making observations of the relative skill and marketing policies of ech company rather than a pure technology evaluation. There will be a day when shoppers will be rating ev's on relative efficiency but today we merely have 1 (or maybe in some areas 2) cars to pick from in a given 'class'. Yeah and being truely green we'd all walk or ride bikes to work... Come on we shouldn't be against each other, picking pure ev vs pih is no different than picking 4 cylinder turbo vs v6, v6 vs diesel, sure each could be tuned or designed differently but by in large they're efficiency is defined by how they are used. It does the green movement no good for people to get the wrong car for their needs.

We recently bought the Honda PIH and leased a Leaf. I usually get 16 miles pure EV with the Honda. My commute is about 17 miles. With the family, this drops to 14 miles. If they were adults, it would likely drop to 12 miles. In the past five weeks, I have driven 2000 miles and used about 20 gallons of fuel. My first 700 miles involved two highway trips where I averaged about 60 mpg. The last 1300 miles have been at 130 mpg. The car charges in 38 minutes on a 220 unit, about 3 hours on 120. There is a learning curve to the Honda as there are different modes to drive in. Our electric bill for 1600 miles of monthly driving is about $55 in San Diego. For the fuel, I have used about 6 gallons a month for the Honda. The Honda is a classier car, a true sedan for the family. The Leaf is great for mid range trips when you want to be pure electric. Most trips are less than 60 miles round trip so the 85 mile range works very well for us. In some ways it is a little more fun to drive the leaf for short trips as you don't feel like you need drive lightly to stay electric. The Honda will switch to Hybrid mode at higher speeds and with faster acceleration. It is actually fairly smart about how it does it. Even using a trickle charge, my wife only charges it every second day. I charge my Honda every day both at home and at work (trickle for now mostly) but do use the plug in spots. Overall very happy with our choices. We have the flexibility of using fuel, pure electric, having a small car and a sedan. We leased the Leaf and bought the Honda. The tax and rebate benefits of the two totaled about $8000. The lease payments for three years on the Leaf are about 10K so you get the point.

Very strange article with really zero facts. Why the tesla scored lower than he accord? Battery capacity? And aerodynamics and weight payed a factor. Lets see, model s has one of the lowest, if not lowest Cd of any car. Yes weight from the battery pack, but how about weight of lugging around a ICE engine and battery pack at the same time? Very inefficient. A change in drive system can affect the efficiency? Really aren't electric motors almost 90% efficient with their use of power, whereas ICE are 20-30% on a very good day. Remember the numbers were add up by the nhtsa to start a system. You would never guess GMand the volt hybrid was part of the develoment. It will be Intersting to see what rating system they truly settle on, and then I will read your article and not laugh
You can cite the theory of the Tesla's efficiency, but it still is not as efficient as the Honda when both are operating on electric drive. Some of the facts in the article include the EPA mpge of the cars discussed, the range of the Accord in EV mode and also in total, battery pack capacity of the Tesla, the correct number of the cars sold per year, and some other misc facts. What were you looking for that was missing in terms of facts? The Honda's gas engine weighs less than the added battery capacity of the Tesla. So, which car is lugging more drivetrain than they need? True that electric motors are more energy efficient than gas motors. That is why the Honda has added one.

The Tesla Model S has a Cd of 0.24, the current Mercedes-Benz CLA has 0.23 and the 9th-generation (2013) Accord upon which this plug-in hybrid will be based is 0.27 and though no numbers have been released for the PIH, it will have better Cd because of its added belly and wheel covers and improved hoodline - probably 0.26. The total vehicle weight of the Accord PIH (which is based on the highest-end Accord Touring, btw) is 3,799 pounds. Almost a full thousand pounds lighter than the Model S in its lightest configuration. So your complaints about "zero facts" and the answers to your questions don't help your attempt at demeaning this article. Frankly, you're clueless, Anonymous.

I would ask a question? Do we not need to get to a 100 percent electric powered car in order to achieve the "green" energy goal? I can imagine only one way to achieve that which is a return to the place we were 100 years ago with the trolley car technology. That change would require some serious R and D to make a modern,safe, and efficient electrical power transfer mechanism (trolley). I envision special high speed (trolley) lanes of traffic where electric cars could travel very fast and very close together with computer adjusted spacing and sequencing into and out of that specialized high speed lane of traffic. That basic formula might be a possible option for R an D which could make real and substantial progress toward truly green transportation? The trolley would be a way to recharge the battery power needed to get you from your house to the ( trolley/ commuter) lanes.

"We have known Dean and Rose since 2010 when we bought our first house in Weston - they were the listing agents. In 2013, when we purchased another home in Weston to accommodate our growing family, we bought another house listed by Dean and Rose. In both cases we were impressed with Dean's and Rose's ability to negotiate and make the deal happen. When we decided to move again in 2016, this time we decided to have Dean and Rose represent us in both selling our house and buy a new one. That was a great decision. As expected, Dean and Rose went the extra mile to get us the best price for or house - they have a great support team - excellent staging services and other professionals - and know the Weston Market better than anyone.
