Kia Soul (2014-2018) review - MPG, CO2 and Running Costs
Disappointing economy and emissions figures mean the Soul will be pricier to run than it could be
Kia Soul review
The Kia Soul is popular in the US, and the new model feels like it's been tailored for that market.
It's a surprise that the new Kia Soul has poorer emissions and economy figures than its predecessor. Some of that is due to its increase in size, but the lack of stop-start also puts the 1.6 diesel on the back foot - on test, a return of 40.8mpg was 8.1mpg worse than the similar Peugeot 2008 which comes with stop-start technology.
Unlike some other Kia models, there's no super-efficient EcoDynamics version of the Soul, so those looking for ultra-low running costs will be disappointed.
The 1.6-litre diesel engine is the most economical choice, being officially pegged at 58.8mpg, but its 127g/km CO2 output is on the high side. If you go for the 1.6-litre petrol, those figures are 43.5mpg and 152g/km, while the Soul Sport emits 156g/km, and officially returns 40.9mpg.
If you really want to reduce your day-to-day running costs though, and don't need to cover big mileages very often, then the Soul EV is the one to go for. A full charge from a household socket will take between 10 to 12 hours, although fast chargers can top it up in around half an hour, but either way the electricity required costs a fraction of the price for a tank of fuel.
More expensive models come with lots of standard kit and every Soul benefits from Kia's industry leading seven-year warranty.
Insurance groups for the Kia Soul are pretty low, ranging from groups 9 and 10 for petrol models to groups 10 and 11 for diesels. The EV version is the most expensive to insure at group 18.
Depreciation is not over-kind to Kia models as a rule, but the Soul doesn't suffer as much as some. Petrol models in cheaper trim levels will keep the largest percentage of their purchase price according to experts at CAP.
The manual petrol model is likely to do best, with a 46 per cent residual value over three-years/36,000 miles. That drops to 38 per cent for the range-topping Soul Sport, which is still some way better than the 32 percent residual value the electric version is predicted to achieve.
However with the Plug-in Grant, the electric vehicle's depreciation is mitigated to the extent that total cost of ownership should ultimately be similar to the most expensive diesel.
Kia Soul reviewThe latest Kia Soul keeps the chunky looks of the previous model, but improves practicality and equipment
Engines, performance and driveThe Soul's engines feel a bit old-school, as the petrol is thirsty and the diesel clatters
MPG, CO2 and Running Costs - currently readingDisappointing economy and emissions figures mean the Soul will be pricier to run than it could be
Interior, design and technologyThe Soul stands out in a crowd, and Connected models feel especially up-to-the minute
Practicality, comfort and boot spaceThe Soul is spacious and comfortable, if a bit lacking in clever packaging details
Reliability and SafetyThe Kia should perform reliably, but Euro NCAP expressed reservations after crash testing

I am MD since 2001 and defended my PhD-thesis in Experimental Pathology in 2004 at the Karolinska Institutet. The project involved carcinogenesis studies in animal models and cell-culturing of multi-drug resistant cells with focus on selenium compounds and selenoenzymes. During my post-doc time (2009-2012) at Dept of Clinical Pharmacology I expanded my knowledge about drug metabolism with focus on statins. During my Residency at Clinical Pharmacology (ST-läkare) (2006-2013) I started working with clinical research and with Phase I and II studies at the Clinical Trial Unit. I finished my Specialist Training in Clinical Pharmacology 2012 and I am since 2013 Associate Professor (Docent) in Clinical Pharmacology.
Since 2013 I am working in the field of Palliative Medicine and I am Senior Consultant (Överläkare) at The Hospice Ward at ASIH Stockholms Södra. I am also Head of Research and Development (FoU) at ASIH Stockholm Södra. In 2018 I started up my own research group in Palliative Medicine at the Division of Clinical Geriatrics, NVS, KI. My overall aim is to find new pharmacological and non-pharmacological strategies to improve the quality of life in end-of-life patients. I have a translational approach where I try to combine clinical trials with pre-clinical experiments for mechanistic studies. My main focus during recent years has been on the role of Vitamin D in the immune system and possible beneficial effects of Vitamin D supplementation to cancer patients to improve pain management, reduce the incidence of infections and improve the quality of life.


One company that manufactures IoT chips present in millions of devices worldwide has a major security problem on their hands. Z-Wave chips are present in IoT end point devices from GE, Amazon, Schlage, Nest, Samsung, and nearly 2,400 other IoT device manufacturers. Their chips can apparently have their pairing security downgraded. This gives attackers almost immediate access to all Z-Wave devices on a network. The exploit is called Z-Shave, and it has been known about (and supposedly fixed) since 2013.
Z-Wave reached out in response and provided additional details about Z-Shave. Most critically, according to Raoul Wijgergangs, VP/GM of Z-Wave for Silicon Labs, and Lars Lydersen, senior director of product security, Silicon Labs, is that the vulnerability can't be forced from outside a Z-Wave IoT network, and the window to take advantage of it is only 20 milliseconds.

Shelton Requests Criminal Investigation of Davis and NTTA
State Rep. Mark Shelton, R-Fort Worth, called for a criminal investigation into state Sen. Wendy Davis, D-Fort Worth, on Wednesday in the latest development in this increasingly bitter race for Davis' Senate seat.
by Aman Batheja and Emily Ramshaw Oct. 3, 2012 3 PM Central
This story has been updated with comment from state Sen. Wendy Davis' campaign.
State Rep. Mark Shelton, R-Fort Worth, on Wednesday called for a criminal investigation into his election opponent, state Sen. Wendy Davis, D-Fort Worth, and the North Texas Tollway Authority that contracts with Davis' law firm.
Shelton sent a letter to Gregg Cox, head of the public integrity unit of the Travis County district attorney's office, requesting an "investigation into possible criminal activity by Texas State Senator Wendy Davis and the North Texas Tollway Authority."
Newby Davis, the law firm Davis launched in 2010 with Brian Newby, Gov. Rick Perry's former chief of staff, has drawn questions regarding whether the firm's pursuit of contracts with public and quasi-public entities in North Texas conflicts with Davis' work representing Senate District 10. Shelton's campaign is working to make the issue central to his campaign to win Davis' Senate seat.
In a statement, Davis' campaign called Shelton's letter an "absurd political stunt" and "clearly false."
Shelton's letter mostly focused on two bills Davis worked on in the 2011 legislative session. The first one, SB 343, would have lowered the administrative fees the NTTA could charge toll scofflaws from a maximum of $100 to $50.
At a March Senate committee hearing, Davis withdrew support for her own bill and signed on as a co-author of SB 469, introduced by state Sen. Jane Nelson, R-Flower Mound. Days earlier, Davis' law firm, Newby Davis, had signed a contract with NTTA to handle condemnation cases on the Chisholm Trail Parkway project.
Nelson's bill lowered the amount NTTA could charge drivers for their first notice of nonpayment of tolls to $25 but increased the total amount the agency could charge the scofflaw over time to $200. Nelson's bill also allowed NTTA to charge scofflaws "third-party collection service fees" the NTTA incurred in getting payment.
In August, the NTTA board approved the hire of Newby Davis and five other firms to handle the agency's "collections litigation." Shelton wrote in his letter that the contract is potentially worth $16.6 million for Newby Davis based on news reports of the extent of unpaid tolls NTTA is working to collect.
Shelton made clear in his letter that he believes there is a connection between Davis' work on NTTA-related bills in the Senate and the business Newby Davis has been awarded by the tollway authority.
"Wendy Davis' actions strongly suggest a gross violation of public trust and one of the most egregious acts of corruption by a state legislator since the Sharpstown scandal," Shelton said, referring to a 1970s-era Texas banking scandal.
Davis' campaign said she decided to support Nelson's bill over her own because she believed it offered "a better solution." The campaign also said that Nelson's bill did not give NTTA any new authority regarding the hiring of third-party collection agencies.
NTTA spokesman Michael Rey said in an email the agency had "no knowledge of the letter" and declined to comment.
Asked if there was a connection between the decision to hire Newby Davis in August and the bill Davis co-authored, Rey said there wasn't one. He noted that the NTTA hired collection firms before SB 469 passed. The bill simply allowed the agency to add a $29 collection fee to some bills.
"The firms work on a contingency basis. The NTTA's ability to engage third-party collections has not been in any way affected by SB 469," Rey said.
Davis' campaign said that Shelton's campaign is trying to deceive voters because it knows their candidate is losing.
"Unfortunately, Mark Shelton doesn't trust SD 10 voters enough to tell them the truth," Davis said. "I intend to continue talking directly to SD 10 voters about my record of working to make sure that our schools are strong and our families are safe."
Earlier Wednesday, Davis described Shelton's attacks on her ethics as a distraction.
"It's a diversion tactic," Davis said. "I've been very open and transparent about what it is I and my law partner do. I have nothing to hide. His mischaracterizations and lies will speak for themselves. I don't intend to answer or respect that sort of a campaign tactic in any way."
Shelton's letter also alleged that Davis "switched her vote" on a bill affecting NTTA toll projects that the agency supported last session. Davis' campaign spokesman told the Tribune last month that Davis had opposed a similar bill in the 2009 legislative session but supported the 2011 measure because it improved upon its predecessor.
"The 2009 bill gave NTTA exclusive rights to any toll project in the area… even if they were incapable of completing it in a timely manner," Davis spokesman Zac Evans said. "The 2011 bill had provisions that would deprive NTTA of that exclusive right to develop a project."

It's Blog Hop Time! Thank you Crazy-For-Books, for hosting this fun meme every Friday.
If you're here for the first time, welcome! We have two great July giveaways, find out more here. You don't have to be a follower to enter!
This week's twist on the Hop is to tell who your favorite author is and why. My favorite author is Ken Follett because he writes fantastic historical fiction that spans twenty plus years in his characters' lives. Finishing a Ken Follett book leaves me more satisfied than any other author. They are not always fast or easy reads, but they are so worth it!
All ready a follower just hopping by, and I also enjoy Ken Follett's books.
I haven't read anything by Foleltt yet. His books appeal to me but I'm scared by their thickness. I guess I'm chickin. I found you through the Hop!
I'm a new follower from last week just visiting some of the new blogs I'm following.
I've heard great things about Ken Follett but haven't yet read any of his books, though I really intend to do so soon.
Just hoppin' in from the blog hop! I love your title because there is nothing I would rather be doing than reading. I really need to invest in one of those license plates that says "I'd rather be reading". The only book I've read of Ken Folletts was World Without End and it was not my fav. I just read your review though on it and your complaints were the same as mine...Excellent! I'll be following to see what you post next!
Thank you all for your comments! I hope everyone has a great weekend!
Found you on the Hop!! Always glad to find another Christian reviewer!!
Come by my blog and say hi if you can!!
Hey! Found you on the hop... I like that you review Christian fiction sometimes.
Thank goodness someone else who is team Gale! haha.
Hopping through. Already a follower. I haven't read any Ken Follett but I should some time.
My husband loves Ken Follett and wants me to read him. I plan on it, it's just finding the time.
Great blog - I look forward to stopping by again!

title: "How 120 minutes of wasted time started a company"
abstract: "My quarterly mail from the tax man puts me in a bad mood. Not because it means that the bank balance will soon be reduced. Tax mail means more paper work."

My quarterly mail from the tax man puts me in a bad mood. Not because it means that the bank balance will soon be reduced. Tax mail means more paper work.

Today I will talk about how our quarterly "Business Activity Statement" cost two hours of work and seeded a dream that one day we could do better.

####A simple tax form
Every quarter the Australian Tax Office mails through a Business Activity Statement (BAS) for us to fill out (like a form 1120 in the United States). Our online accounting package can generate a pre-filled report identical in format to the BAS. Now filling out the BAS should be straight-forward right?

####That wasted two hours
Well, except every quarter I forget that one section of the report isn't pre-filled and I need to enter those numbers manually. What ensues is probably a familiar story for you - it takes me a 2 hour journey to discover:

1. A section of the form hasn't been pre-filled.
*I'm staring at this report thinking - that entire section is filled with zeros, that can't be right!*
2. There isn't a setting to get those numbers to be automatically pre-filled
*I use the accounting help system, which is very good and explains that I will need to enter those numbers myself.*
3. There is another report I can run to get the numbers I need
*I find the report that I need and double check its numbers.*
4. I did this same dance last quarter
*Task finished and feeling frustrated I have this strange sensation they call deja vu. I realise that this same thing happened last quarter. *

####Why can't I document my steps?
Why don't we all write down in a blog or Word document somewhere the problems we have and how they were resolved. Call it a lessons learned log - but I am sure 200 other business owners waste time on the exact same problems.

####Why can't everyone else follow those steps too?
Let's build a place where business owners can learn from the steps written by other business owners. A place to search and find complete steps for any administrative task.

I invite you to join us on [SweetProcess.com](https://www.SweetProcess.com) and share your business processes. Together let's get business done faster.

Barbeyella minutissima is a slime mould species of the order Echinosteliales, and the only species of the genus Barbeyella. First described in 1914 from the Jura mountains, its habitat is restricted to montane spruce and spruce-fir forests of the Northern Hemisphere, where it has been recorded from Asia, Europe, and North America. It typically colonises slimy, algae-covered logs that have lost their bark and have been partially to completely covered by liverworts. The sporangia are roughly spherical, up to 0.2 mm in diameter, and supported by a thin stalk up to 0.7 mm tall. After the spores have developed, the walls of the sporangia split open into lobes. The species is one of the smallest members of the Myxogastria and is considered rare.

Taxonomy and classification

The species was first described in 1914 by Charles Meylan on the basis of a collection made at an altitude of  from the Swiss Jura in September the year before. Meylan thought the species warranted a new genus based on the unique mode of dehiscence and the makeup of the capillitium. The genus was named for the Swiss botanist William Barbey (1842–1914). It and the genus Clastoderma together make up the family Clastodermataceae. Studies of the ultrastructure of the sporocarps suggests that Barbeyella occupies a systematic position intermediate between Echinosteliales and the Stemonitales.

Characteristics

The protoplasmodium, a microscopic, undifferentiated granular mass with a slime sheath, is transparent and colourless. A single sporangiophore (the fruiting structure) is produced from the semispherical protoplasmodium, which is approximately one and a half times the diameter of mature sporangia. It acquires dark spots as it matures and the centre of the protoplasm later becomes dark. Then, the transparent and milk-white protoplasmodium climbs along the stem to the top, where first the capillitium and peridium and finally the spores are produced. At room temperature, this process lasts roughly one day.

The long-stemmed, blackish-brown or blackish-purple, barely translucent sporangia of Barbeyella are spherical, 0.15 to 0.2 mm in diameter and together with the stem measure 0.3 to 0.7 mm long. They are usually scattered on the substrate, but also often grouped in loose, large colonies. The hypothallus (the tissue upon which the sporangiophore rests)  has a diameter of at least 0.7 mm. Although not visible on mosses, it has a reddish-brown color when growing on wood. The brownish-black stem is up to 0.1 mm thick, thinning to 5 µm towards the top and is filled with protoplasmatic scrap material. The columella – arising from the stem tip – matures at the upper end at roughly half the height of the sporangiophore into 7 to 13 simple or occasionally bifurcated, 1 to 4 µm large, dark-brown capillitium strands. Usually individual, occasionally in pairs, these are firmly fused with the lobed segments of the peridium, which are round in cross-section. When the spores mature, the sporangium splits and empties into the peridium towards the base. This prevents the lobes of the peridium from detaching and provides spore dispersal over a longer period, similar to a dehiscing capsule. The sporangia are filled towards the top with plasmatic granules, which diminish increasingly towards the base. Depending on the size of the plasmatic granules, the sporangia appear papillate or smooth.

The mass of spores is blackish brown, or brown if viewed under polarised light. The surface texture ranges from almost smooth to warty, and the spores measure 7–9 µm in diameter. Material collected from Oregon, however, varies from European material in several ways: the fruit body is brown; the branching of the capillitium from the columella differs (having primary and secondary branches instead of radiating branches from an expanded tip); the spore mass is tan, and individual spores measure 10–12 µm.

Habitat and distribution

Barbeyella minutissima is considered rare. Its habitat corresponds to the mountainous spruce-fir forests of the Northern Hemisphere. It is largely restricted to altitudes between , occasionally appearing as low as sea level and as high as . It has been found in Europe (Finland, Germany, Switzerland, Poland, Romania, Latvia, and Russia), in west and east North America (Washington, Oregon, California, and Mexico; North and South Carolina and Virginia), in the Indian Himalayas as well as in Japan. It is relatively common in fir forests on high-altitude Mexican volcanoes, suggesting that air-borne spore dispersal is effective.

Ecology

The species grows only on slightly to heavily rotten and barkless deadwood in coniferous forests in cool, moist areas. The wood is about 40 to 100% overgrown with Marchantiophyta, especially of the genera Nowellia or Cephalozia. B. minutissima has been found growing on the liverwort Lepidozia reptans, although Nowellia curvifolia is the main indicator for the slime mould. In addition to liverworts, Barbeyella is found socialised with monocellular algae. It is assumed that the protoplasmodium phagocytises either the algae or the bacteria on their surface. Other Myxogastria species are often found together with Barbeyella, especially Lepidoderma tigrinum, Lamproderma columbinum and Colloderma oculatum. Aphanocladium album is a myxomyceticolous fungus (i.e., living on or within the fruit bodies of myxomycetes) that has been reported growing on specimens of B. minutissima collected from North Carolina.

Tim Burton's remake for Disney of "Dumbo" about an elephant whose oversized ears enable him to fly, has received mixed reviews. Some filmgoers prefer the classic 1941 version, also from Disney. Yet indisputably, the story for both originated in a book published in 1939 by Helen Aberson (1907-1999), a Syracuse-born writer of Ukrainian Jewish origin.
After paying a mere 1000 dollars as flat fee for all rights, Disney has since reaped untold profits, which in merchandising alone must add up to hundreds of millions of dollars. All Disney theme parks, including Shanghai Disneyland, boast a Dumbo the Flying Elephant ride and sell Dumbo chotchkes.
Helen Aberson, a cigar maker's daughter, never imagined such rewards. She just enjoyed penning children's stories inspired by her life and family, the rest of which remain unpublished. One was "Sim, the Seal," named after her brother Sim, a Syracuse druggist.
On the artistic side, echoes in "Dumbo" of Hans Christian Andersen's Ugly Duckling and Munro Leaf's "Story of Ferdinand" (1936) about a peace-loving bull, charmed the animators. They were led by Otto Englander, a Sephardic Jew born in Bosnia and Herzegovina, who served as story director on "Dumbo." Englander "responded to it personally and was eager to go, for the creative opportunity that it afforded," as Didier Ghez's "Walt's People" points out. An Eastern European Jewish immigrant, Englander may have shared some of the vulnerabilities in Aberson's character of the little elephant, so unlike those around him.
In an early draft of the film supervised by Englander, Dumbo is psychologically scarred by his difference. The elephant is taken to see Dr. I. Hoot, an owl psychiatrist, depicted in Robert Feild's "Art of Walt Disney" (1942) In a later draft, this doctor was renamed Professor Hoot Owl, a psychiatrist and notary public whose advice was limited to: "If you want to fly, go ahead and fly! Ten dollars, please." The Freudian satire here may have been considered a bit much for Disney audiences, as it was dropped from the final film.
The psychiatrist was the studio's initial replacement for Aberson's original concept, in which a robin named Red takes Dumbo to see Wise One, an owl, to find out the possibility of his escaping the circus. The owl, in the role of a counseling rabbi or chochem, tells the pachyderm that his ears might function as wings.
Aberson lacked the natural assertiveness of Travers, and was incapable of bullying Disney, even had that approach been effective, which is doubtful. At an earlier, less prosperous era for Disney, with his studio traumatized by an worker's strike which interrupted production on "Dumbo," Uncle Walt would scarcely have reacted well to a forceful chaleria, even had Aberson resembled one.
Had a brush with Sharpsteen upset Aberson? For whatever reason, she considered Disney's omission of her name from future reprints of the "Dumbo" book as a personal failure. She was so discouraged that she did not even bother to renew her copyright on the original book in 1968, when it expired. As a result, she and her family never had legal basis for any claim against Disney. And expecting a voluntary expression of gratitude to a creative individual who invented a story that charmed generations would be too much to expect from the all-powerful Disney Company, then as now. So Disney obliterated the Jewish author of "Dumbo," turning her into an anonymous contributor to The Mouse Factory.

Make it trimmed enough so that it doesn't look like an overgrown hedge.
I asked my boyfriend what other girls did, and after thinking for a minute, he said "you know those Russian hamsters? Well, kind of like that - that size and shape with the same fur length" which I thought was hilarious.
All guys are different. I've met guys who liked full bush and the occasional one who is curious to see it shaved. Trimmed and neatened tends to please most. Personally, I'm going through a phase of leaving it natural, which my boyfriend is ok about.
Gel all of your pubic hair so it is straight and spikey, and go and sunbathe in the garden for a few hours, so you get that red raw look down there. Then proceed to buzz it all off with an electric razor, along with a few layers of crusty/burnt skin with it. Collect all your trimmings and everything else in a baking tray along with your own urine. Then put this tray in the oven at the highest setting for a few hours.
When your neighbours are on holiday, replace their windows with your roasted piss-pube sheets.
When people say trimmed what do they actually mean?? I mean like just length, or control where it grows too?

Emma Kenney certainly wasn't one of those child actors that was born into a famous family and had everything at their disposal. What Emma did have though was an impressive knack for acting, and an award-winning personality.
Just like many child stars, Emma has had to deal with a tough industry, her own vices, and finding a light at the end of the tunnel. Read on to see how a normal girl from New York landed the role of a lifetime, and all the consequences that came with it.
On September 14, 1999, Emma Rose Kenney was born in Manhattan, New York. Her mother was a criminal defense lawyer, and her father was a sports writer.
Neither of her parents ever expected they would raise a daughter who would find her love of acting in just a few years.
It wasn't long before little Emma realized her calling in life. As young as three, she was already pretending her stuffed toys were "real" and would use them to act out scenes.
Her parents weren't oblivious to this love for show business, and quickly enrolled her in acting and improv lessons. It was in these lessons that Emma would catch her first major break.
Acting school taught Emma that 90% of first auditions are rejected, but Emma was never average. The first audition she had at her acting school led to an agent wanting to sign her.
Emma might have only been seven years old, but she was already oozing confidence and skill. The agent offered her a contract that very day.
The first year of Emma's acting contract was primarily focussed in advertising. She appeared in three commercials that ran nationwide for Scholastic Books, as well as voice-overs for other commercials.
This start in advertising was fun for Emma, but already she had her eye on a larger prize — starring in movies and television.
Even though Emma's aspiration was to work in television and film, she quickly learned that it wouldn't be that easy. Emma was stuck working in advertising for another two years. While this might discourage other nine-year-olds, it inspired Emma even further.
She met and hired a new manager, Maggie Schuster, and started out on the road to stardom.
Under Maggie's advice, Emma began to branch out from commercials and try new things. She began to appear in student films. Being on a movie set allowed Emma to learn the basics of directing, producing, and even script-writing.
Script-writing would become a passion for her later on in life. Since her first introduction to it, she has written over fifty scripts.
In 2008, Emma got her wish and finally made her nationwide silver screen debut in the short film Lyre Liar. That same year, she worked on two other short films.
One year later, Emma landed roles in two different straight-to-television films. The success might have seemed small, but it proved to Emma and her parents that she had a real knack for the business.
Her love of directing and script-writing came in handy in 2009. One of the short films she wrote and directed, The New Girl In Town, was nominated for the New Jersey International Film Festival.
Although it didn't win, she did break records for being the youngest film director to be nominated in the festival's history.
Emma was only twelve years old when her manager suggested she audition for the role of Debbie Gallagher in a new show called Shameless. Before this audition, Emma had kept to auditioning in New York.
The family took a chance and flew out to Los Angeles to audition for the part. Well, the risk paid off and Emma landed the part.
Even though Shameless was the first major television set Emma had ever been on, she felt completely at home. She even talked about her cast as a "second family" to her.
Emma's mom agreed that the rest of the cast were supportive and important to Emma's development as an actor. The other actors had no problem sharing their experience because they knew Emma had a bright future.
Shameless became a huge hit in America for depicting the struggles that lower-class working families go through. It didn't take long for Emma and her character to become a household name. Soon, she was being recognized everywhere she went.
The audience got to watch Emma grow up right in front of their eyes for eight years, but what was growing up really like for Emma?
Like many other child stars, Emma had to balance school and acting. Emma had a personal tutor while she was on set from July to October.
For the rest of the year, she attended public school and tried to fit in with her friends. This was even harder because her family had been split up. Her mother stayed in New York to work, and her dad had to quit his job to live with Emma in L.A.
Shameless was beloved by American families because it never shied away from hard or difficult topics, but that wasn't easy to do when you have kids on set. Emma's father had to keep a close eye on what she was exposed to while on set.
All the worrying was for nothing though. The show and producers handled everything appropriately and never put Emma in a vulnerable position.
While Emma has always been grateful for Shameless giving her the big break she wanted, she still wanted to try other things. Emma began working on other projects from 2011-2016 while filming Shameless.
She also announced in numerous interviews that her experience on the television show made her want to try even more new things. Luckily, another big break was right around the corner.
Emma's next big role would be on the 2018 reboot of the classic American sitcom, Roseanne. Emma played Roseanne's granddaughter, Harris Conner-Healy.
Just like with Shameless, Emma was immediately loved by the American public. Unfortunately, the show was abruptly canceled after offensive comments from the show's star, Roseanne Barr. The cancelation crushed Emma and she wished for a second chance.
The cancellation of Roseanne crushed not only Emma but also the entire cast of the reboot. They were all excited for another chapter of an iconic American sitcom, and it felt unjust that one person's actions could hurt everyone.
The studio agreed and decided to create a new show, The Conners, that would bring back the entire cast without Roseanne Barr.
One of the ways Emma has managed to keep her fans engaged all these years is that she's a Gen Z actress who is no stranger to social media. She has a large following of over 1.5 million fans on Instagram.
Emma loves her fans so much she calls them her "cyber family."
It may have felt like Emma grew up before our eyes on Shameless, but she's truly grown up online.
Emma uses her Instagram account and large fanbase to share very "grown-up" photos of herself, as well as share pieces of wisdom and knowledge that she's learned over the years.
In April 2018, Emma shocked the public by entering into treatment for substance abuse. She spoke out about being "naive and very immature." She even admitted that she was "running with a really fast crowd."
Emma might have ended up in the wrong crowd, but she was smart enough to know that fixing the problem early would help her in the long run.
Emma was lucky enough to receive love and support from her cast members, friends, and family. She completed treatment in time to see the premiere of her new show, The Conners.
The debut of The Conners on ABC reached 35% fewer audience members, but critics once again raved about Emma's performance. It seemed like a bump in the road wasn't going to stop Emma.
After completing treatment in the summer on 2018, Emma took a break from filming and social media to come back down the reality. This break was much-needed for Emma, but the workaholic was happy to get back to her old routine.
She said that after her treatment, she had "never felt this good before" and she hoped it would show in her acting.
Looking back on how she fell into the wrong crowd, Emma said that despite the fame, she felt extremely insecure and not exactly "comfortable" at the time.
Emma admitted that even though those days aren't that long ago, she wants to put it in the past and move forward with her newfound confidence.
Emma stood out from other former child stars by dealing with these troubles in an open and honest way. She shared her struggles and journey with her "cyber family" and encouraged them to seek help like her if they needed.
Emma doubled down by saying that going to get help for your struggles "doesn't make you weak" but it shows how strong you truly are.
It might seem like all of Emma's time is spent on various television sets, but she makes sure to leave room for her true passion — animal activism. Emma often uses her platform to advocate for animal rights.
She's an official spokesperson for PETA and has never been afraid to say that if someone wants to "look fresh" then they shouldn't be wearing a dead animal.
Despite getting caught up in the fast crowd, Emma admits that she feels like an old soul in comparison to her friends. Emma admits that sometimes she feels like she's "literally a grandma."
When her friends want to go out and party, she'd rather stay at home and hang out watching television.
Since she's such an "old soul," Emma has no problem showing off that side to her fans. While most celebrities perfectly curate every Instagram post, she shares her daily activities whether they're glamorous or not.
You can usually expect a post or two of her hanging out around her house in baggy clothes. It's no wonder so many fans connect with Emma.
Although Shameless is currently on its ninth season, there are rumors that the show will soon be ending. Two frontrunners of the show, Cameron Monaghan and Emmy Rossum, have announced they will be leaving the show.
Fans are divided on whether or not they want the show to continue with new cast members, or if it should be canceled during its prime.
Many people speculate that if Shameless doesn't end, that it might be Emma's even bigger break. Her character is older now and might be able to step into the gaping hole that will be left by Emmy Rossum's departure.
While no one knows what the future holds with Shameless, there are more opportunities waiting for Emma.
Emma might have grown up before our eyes in the role of Debbie Gallagher, and she might post more "grown up" photos on Instagram, but we should all remember just how young she still is.
Emma is only nineteen years old and still has more growing up to do. It's important for her fans to remember she's still learning and experiencing life.
Although the future is uncertain, it's obvious that Emma has a bright future ahead of her. Being a child star usually means you run the risk of getting into trouble and disappearing from the spotlight.
Emma's strength and ability to overcome the challenges life has thrown at her so far proves she won't go down without a fight.

Q: Nearest point from the origin Find the point on the surface $x^2+2y^2-z^2-1$ that is nearest to the origin.
I know we have to use Lagrange's method of multipliers here. But I am having trouble finding a specific point in this case.

A: You want to minimize $x^2+y^2+z^2$ assuming $z^2=x^2+2y^2+1$. So you have $x^2+y^2+z^2=2x^2+3y^2+1$. It is obvious that the minimal value of $2x^2+3y^2+1$ is attained for $x=y=0$.

A: We want to minimise the function
$$
\left\|\cdot\right\|:(x,y,z)\mapsto\left\|(x,y,z)\right\|=\sqrt{x^2+y^2+z^2}
$$
subject to the constraint
$$
x^2+2y^2-z^2-1=0.
$$
By the method of Lagrange multipliers this task amounts to minimizing the function
$$
(x,y,z,\lambda)\mapsto\sqrt{x^2+y^2+z^2}-\lambda(x^2+2y^2-z^2-1).
$$
Setting the four partial derivatives equal to zero results in a system of four equations with four unknowns, which has four real solutions $(x,y,z,\lambda)$. These are
$$
\left\{(-1,0,0,1/2),(1,0,0,1/2),(0,-1/\sqrt{2},0,1/(2\sqrt{2})),(0,1/\sqrt{2},0,1/(2\sqrt{2}))\right\}.
$$
The points on the surface nearest to the origin are thus $(0,\pm1/\sqrt{2},0)$.
You may want to check that the critical points so computed are indeed local minima rather than, say, maxima.

There are so many different causes of tooth loss, both by natural and more violent means. This article will discuss some of the most common causes of tooth loss as well as tips on how to improve your chances of keeping your natural teeth healthy and intact!
Unhealthy gums can eventually lead to problems with your teeth. In cases of advanced gum disease, it's even possible for teeth to become loose and fall out.
Serious cavities and tooth decay can harm a tooth's structure so severely that teeth are more likely to break and fall out from simple biting and chewing.
When a tooth is infected and cannot be saved by root canal therapy, or if a tooth is severely decayed and damaged, it is sometimes necessary to remove the entire tooth.
Both contact sports (like hockey or football) and combat sports (boxing and karate) can result in major facial injuries, including tooth loss or damage. This is a risk you take, whether you compete at a professional level, student level, or simply participate for recreation.
If you're attacked or get into a fight, injuries are likely to occur. Serious injuries to the face and mouth may result in the loss of a tooth, or sometimes multiple teeth.
Luckily, Dr. Matthew Schacht at Denver Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery has helped countless patients all over the Denver, Colorado area who have suffered tooth loss. Dr. Schacht is well versed in the solutions for missing teeth, including dental implants, dentures and even the more advanced facial and jaw reconstruction procedures in order to provide you with the best dental health and wellness.
