Home dog boarding is a great option for your furry friend. The New Forest Dog Hotel Hampshire manager Wayne worked for a few weeks with a great voice-over artist and graphic designer to create a short 90 second explainer video. It tells everyone all about the New Forest Dog Hotel and why it's a great choice for your dog's holiday.
Home dog boarding in The New Forest Dog Hotel. Our explainer video.
When you're off on your holidays, your four-legged friend can't always come along – so what do you do? There are many options – willing friends and family, kennels and now dog hotels. Which is the best one to choose? Our new explainer video will help explain why dog home boarding is a great idea!
Friends and family are great – but sometimes they're on holiday with you, so can't help out. Or they're too far away and you need a second holiday just to get to them to drop your dog off. Kennels offer a traditional service, but it's not the most personal and doesn't generally have the comforts of home that your dog is used to.
That's where a dog hotel comes in. Unlike friends and kennels, dog hotels offer a friendly, dedicated host and home. While you're away, you can relax knowing that your dog is getting the kind of attention that they're used to. Here at the New Forest Dog Hotel, we've got an acre of enclosed paddock for your dog to run around in. Plenty of room to chase balls – and squirrels if they're brave enough to come into the garden. And on those chilly evenings, we've got an inglenook fireplace with a log burner. It's a very popular spot to nestle into a basket after a busy day of walking and running about in the garden.
We've had a great time building the explainer video. We think it gives a great overview of what a dog hotel offers. What do you think? Let us know in the comments below. Drop us a line if you're interested in your dog coming on holiday to us.


The Brazilian goalkeeper arrived at Liverpool in the summer for a then-record transfer fee of £65 million from Italian side, Roma and has impressed in his first few months at the red half of Merseyside.
The 'sweeper keeper' has been an ever-present figure in defence for the Reds this season, conceding just five Premier League goals and keeping seven clean sheets. He has added considerable strength to the backline, and the success he can help the team bring because of this is just another reason why demand for Liverpool Fc tickets is so high.
The 26 year old has received praise from fans and the media alike for his consistency in goal, as have the dugged van Dijk and Gomez in front of him, with the duo forming a phenomenal centre-back partnership this season.
Alisson admits he has learned how to focus more in games since moving to Anfield since he has less work to do, thanks to the reliability of the defence in front of him.
The goalkeeper knows well that despite how good his defense is, he'll still be called upon once in a while to make saves and he must keep his head down in focus at all times.
Alisson will remain in England for the international break since his Brazil side wil be taking on Uruguay at the Emirates Stadium in North London and then Cameroon in Milton Keynes. The star is expected to feature in at least one of the games, if not both games, and is eyeing improvements for his club after serving his country.

In a year where emotion, tension, and negativity was high, an alumnus from the University of Missouri-Kansas City is not backing down from trying to make the world a better place.
Sam Lim, a member who graduated in 2018 with a degree in Languages & Literatures, was confirmed to two appointments for the City of Salem, Mass. Lim serves as the youngest member of both the Mayor's Cultural Council and No Place For Hate Committee, named to the positions in June of 2020.
This isn't the first time Lim has worked in leadership roles. As an undergraduate, Lim served as Eminent Herald, a Senior Standards & Ethics Board Member and most notably as the inaugural Diversity & Inclusion Chair.
"I was really proud of that role at the time," Lim said.
Lim made an impact not just within the chapter but within the University of Missouri-Kansas City's Greek community. Lim was elected as President and Expansion Liaison of the Interfraternity Council, leading the University's successful open expansion in 2018. Lim also held two additional Vice Presidencies.
Lim's leadership secured a number of University awards for both the chapter and council, including the 2017 Outstanding Junior of the Year, 2018 Outstanding Senior of the Year, and the 2019 Outstanding Alum of the Year Pride Award.
Sam Lim receiving the the Georgia Voice 2019 Best Up & Coming LGBTQ+ Youth award.
Lim became known to be the first openly LGBTQ+ Interfraternity Council President at Missouri-Kansas City.
"People don't know that SAE's like myself exist. A queer, Chinese, Jewish guy from Syracuse, N.Y. is an SAE and I'm proud to be an SAE," Lim said.
Lim's fraternity career has been dedicated to diversity and inclusion development, not only as their chapter's inaugural chapter Diversity & Inclusion Chairman, but through consultation and diversity education workshops to fraternity & sorority chapters and councils.
"Where ever I go, I'm really involved in public service to community and government. I just believe that it's really crucial to be giving back," Lim said. "Obviously government has a responsibility to take care of its citizens but we also have an obligation to put in energy to create the community we want to see. I think that's at the heart of being an SAE."
After graduating, Lim moved to Atlanta and became a high school teacher in a Title I school. If you're unfamiliar with this type of school, a significant amount of students enrolled are homeless and 100 percent of the students are on free or reduced lunches.
"It's a whole different ballgame in teaching when you're working with Title I populations," Lim said. "Because there's so much trauma that the students have faced and so many struggles but that shouldn't limit their opportunities. My students were some of the brightest students in the world, but the community didn't know it yet because they weren't really given the opportunity to showcase that."
While working there, Lim's teachings helped raise test scores for many kids, sending them down a better path.
Lim eventually decided to get a master's degree in higher education, and eventually accepted an offer from Salem State University and is currently pursuing an M.Ed. in Higher Education in Student Affairs.
Today, Lim is entering the second semester as a Graduate Retention Fellow in the Leadership, Engagement, Advocacy, and Diversity (LEAD) Office at Salem State, serving as an Advisor to the Greek Council, Advisor to all chapter social and academic chairs, and Staff Coordinator over Men's Recruitment.
Additionally, Lim is a National Educational Program Facilitator and Founding President of the Greater North Shore Area Alumni Association of SAE.
"When you go for big opportunities early on in your life, every stage of the game, you know, I've sort of been in that position," Lim said. "I joined the board of directors of Atlanta Pride at 23 years old. The youngest to do it. That was more than a million-dollar non-profit and that was the oldest organization serving the LGBTQ population in the southeast."
"I was appointed the inaugural diversity and inclusion officer for the organization [Atlanta Pride], the senior diversity officer [in other words]. That was a huge historical moment for me, for the organization. But I was 23, right? And that sort of mind-boggling of like, 'Are you ready to take on this leadership? Are you intimidated? Will the community accept you?' And I think that once the people in the room see that you have something to offer, your actions speak louder than your words."
Sam Lim received the 2019 LGBTQ+ Outstanding Alum Pride Award and were voted The Georgia Voice 2019 Best Up & Coming LGBTQ+ Youth.
With experience in civic engagement, leadership and work within multiple non-profits, Lim decided to make a run for the cultural council for the City of Salem early last year. Being the youngest to ever earn the position was intimidating at first, but Lim's background and success thus far proved how deserving they were of the position.
"Some of the folks sit on these committees have been elected to city council before," Lim said. "Some of the attendees are current city councilors. People who work for major corporations. It doesn't necessarily help that I'm the youngest but I think I add a lot of perspective and diverse thinking to that. But when they see that I've had past experiences and their assumptions are wrong about me, they're usually welcoming to that type of feedback and constructive criticism."
Salem is already a very diverse population and friendly to all types of people. The Human Rights Campaign gave Salem a perfect score on its LGBTQ+ inclusion index. Lim says there's still work to do.
"When you talk to a lot of citizens on the ground, which I think is the most important job of anyone who serves the public, really getting to know constituents, you hear that those policies, although they're overarching in legal issues in inclusion, they miss the mark for the day-to-day experiences of people," Lim said. "How are we creating a culture day-to-day where everyone feels valued, welcomed and included and more importantly seen, right?"
Lim believes the city has a long way to go in terms of getting past the surface level of policies and checkboxes in order to bring the community together.
"I love the vision of our mayor. I fully support our mayor. I fully support our city council and all the other public servants that are on these committees," Lim said. "But we do have work to do in terms of doing a better job of talking to our constituents and saying 'What do you want from us? It's my job to serve you.'"
Lim says it's a unique position because they servce on two different committees.
"Not a lot of people do that," Lim said. "For example with the No Place For Hate Committee, we can do all these things and talk about diversity and inclusion and see goals we want to have happen for the city but then because I'm on the Cultural Council I can then say, 'Well, I'm going to be really intentional of the artists I'm bringing in to give these grants to build art work for our community to ensure it's culturally relevant.' So I sort of feel empowered in that way that I can talk a lot of theory but I can also have the opportunity to make action by dispersing these grants. It's set up in a way that if you take full advantage of the opportunities, every citizen can be influential in decision making."
Lim's experiences can be used as a great example for upcoming graduates and younger undergrads in SAE and believes no one should have to wait their turn to create success at a young age.
"That's where I challenge brothers to speak up and throw their name in the hat," Lim said. "When I was 23 and became the Senior Diversity Officer for Atlanta Pride it didn't happen by accident. It didn't happen because I sat around and kept my mouth shut and waited. It happened because I spoke up and challenged a lot of people. It's because there was work to be done."
There's no telling Lim's effect on The City of Salem yet, but history shows the work to be done is likely to be finished.

Sinking Feeling: Shipping Is Latest European Banking Worry
Last year, German lenders owned roughly $90 billion worth of outstanding shipping loans
The container ship Hanjin Harmony arrives in Hamburg. Plunging world shipping rates and the bankruptcy of South Korea's Hanjin Shipping last year helped create a bloodbath for the sector, which had previously seemed a safe bet for export-oriented Germany.

The global shipping crisis is stoking another European banking headache, this time in economic powerhouse Germany.
Commerzbank AG on Thursday warned that its losses on shipping loans could be as high as €600 million ($641 million) this year after nearly doubling last year to €559 million. Last week, Deutsche Bank AG , Germany's largest bank, said its expected losses from shipping loans nearly tripled, to €346 million, from a year earlier.
In Germany's port of Hamburg—one of Europe's richest cities—state-owned HSH Nordbank is racing to find a buyer or face liquidation after suffering massive losses on shipping-related debt.
Analysts say the continued wave of write-downs indicates German banks remain hesitant to take the painful measures needed to restructure their businesses, almost a decade after the global economic crisis.
Before the crisis, German lenders became the world's biggest issuers of shipping loans. As of last year they owned roughly $90 billion worth, or almost one-fourth of all outstanding shipping loans made by large banks, according to Petrofin Global Bank Research. German banks and investors own more of the world's containership capacity than any other country—roughly 29%, according to the German Shipowners' Association.

Q: R - how to drop chars from string depending on their values? I have a CSV file where numeric values are stored in a way like this:
+000000000000000000000001101.7100

The number above is 1101.71. This string is always the same length, so number of zeroes before the actual number depends on number´s length.
How can I drop the + and all 0s before the actual number so I can then convert it to numeric easily?

A: If it is of fixed width, then substring will be a faster option
as.numeric(substring(str1, nchar(str1)-8))
#[1] 1101.71

but if we don't know how many 0's will be there at the beginning, then another option is sub where we match a + at the start (^) of the string followed by 0 or more elements of 0 (0*) and replace with blank ("")
as.numeric(sub("^\\+0*", "", str1))
#[1] 1101.71

Note that we escape the + as it is a metacharacter implying one or more

A: I may miss an important point, but my best try would be like this:
1) read the values as a character
2) use substr to get rid of the first character, namely the plus sign
3) convert column with as.integer / this way we safely loose any leading zeroes

Jimena Loveluck, MSW | She/Her/Hers | Steering Committee Member
Vice President of Community Research & Innovation at
UNIFIED – HIV Health and Beyond in Ypsilanti, MI
Michigan Forward in Enhancing Research and Community Equity (MFierce), is a partnership of community organizations, youth advocates, and public health researchers working together to reduce STIs among young sexual and gender minority youth in Southeast Michigan. MFierce is funded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Community Approaches to Reducing STIs Program and is a project of the Center for Sexuality and Health Disparities at the University of Michigan School of Public Health.
MFierce is a coalition that utilizes a shared decision-making process among all partners to address STIs in our region. MFierce is comprised of three entities; a Center for Sexuality and Health Disparities team, a group of Youth Advisory Board (YAB) members who are youth advocates, ages 20-30, and a Steering Committee of organization and agency representatives. We are currently implementing the Health Access Initiative, a LGBTQ+ cultural responsiveness training and technical assistance program for local clinics and health centers. Our second initiative is developing the Advocacy Collective, a LGBTQ+ youth health advocate organization.
In the spirit of promoting LGBTQ+ affirming resources and services, check out this great event this month: The San Francisco Department of Public Health, Population Health Division is hosting a webinar titled "PrEP for Transgender and Gender Non-Conforming Individuals". Click here for more details.
How did you get involved with MFierce?
I started working with the Center for Sexuality and Health Disparities at the University of Michigan in 2010 when I was the President/CEO of the HIV/AIDS Resource Center (HARC) and our organization became a community partner on several HIV prevention research projects. I was particularly drawn to the community-based participatory model of research and the partnership that developed with the Center and other community partners, including AIDS Partnership Michigan (APM).
I became involved with MFierce at its very inception when I found the funding announcement from CDC and talked with José Bauermeister, the former director of the Center for Sexuality and Health Disparities, about applying and the opportunity it would provide to create structural change related to HIV and other STIs. The ongoing work of MFierce and the long history of collaboration between HARC and APM also helped steer our merger in early 2015 to become UNIFIED – HIV Health and Beyond. I have been a member of the Steering Committee since the project started and am so proud to be involved in this project with other community partners, Center staff and the Youth Advisory Board (YAB).
The MFierce Coalition uses a community-engaged approach where decision-making is shared among the three entities. That sounds complex. What are the most important take aways from using participatory processes?
A true participatory process takes a lot of work – listening, compromise, self-awareness, cultural humility and dedication. It's about equalizing the decision-making process between community partners, researchers, community members and youth. That comes about with a common goal that is beyond any one researcher, Steering Committee or Youth Advisory Board Member – reducing disparities in HIV and STIs in our communities.
What is the most exciting thing that you've experienced while being a part of MFierce?
Working with members of the YAB has been exciting and rewarding. The YAB has played an integral role in the project from the very beginning and the community planning process has been enriched by their many contributions. As we implement the Youth Advocacy Collective, I am excited to see how they are learning and sharing their expertise to improve health services for LGBTQ youth.
When I talk to people about MFierce, I tell them…
It's about creating structural change. Then when I get confused or funny looks, I highlight the work we have been doing to increase access to culturally responsive care and decrease HIV and STIs. Of course, I also talk about our fabulous partnership with community organizations, the Center and the youth which are at the core of our project's success.
How do you define "justice"?
Early on in my HIV work, I had the honor of taking a course with Jonathan Mann at the Harvard School of Public Health when I was living and working in Boston. That would have been around 1996. He helped solidify my view of health as a human right. Justice is when everyone's human rights are protected, respected and advanced. Justice is also about equity and if we truly had equity in health, we would not see the significant disparities in HIV and STIs that we can find in every part of our country.
What else is going on in your life that you would like to share?
On a personal note, I just celebrated my 27th wedding anniversary and could not ask for a more supportive partner. On a professional note, I am looking forward to representing MFierce and UNIFIED – HIV Health and Beyond at the American Public Health Association Annual Meeting in Denver later this fall.
Can you tell us about some of your heros/sheros/queeros?
I know this will sound corny, but my mom is definitely my shero. She instilled in me a commitment to social justice and has taught me the importance of lifelong learning. She also made sure to preserve our Chilean culture and Spanish language while raising four kids on her own. Another hero would be Elmer Freeman, my social work mentor. He welcomed me as a social work student and intern when I first moved to Boston in 1988, became my employer and colleague after I finished my MSW, and has continued to be a friend and mentor who introduced me to community-based participatory research before I knew I would be doing this kind of work myself.
If you could look into the future, what would you tell your future self?
Don't worry so much about pleasing other people and be your authentic self. Challenging and painful experiences will make you stronger, and always trust your instincts.
And the most important question of our time, if you were a crayon, what color would you be?

The history of Rozenburg Earthenware, plateel and eggshell part 2/3
Publication November 2009
Art & Antique Journal COLLECT
Text: Peter van Ardenne Translated from Dutch by: Peter Boel
Rozenburg eggshellporcelain
The Rozenburg pavilion at the World Exhibition in Paris, 1900, had a surprise in store for its visitors. On the right the well-known pottery had been put on display, but on the left, under a sign that said 'porcelaine', an elegant new product was glittering: eggshell porcelain
The wafer-thin objects with their ethereal decorations made a great impression, and within a year they were in great demand. Still, in the end it wasn't a commercial success. The purchasing costs and the breakability of the material turned out to be stumbling-blocks, and probably most services and vases chiefly served as decorative objects. This was a blessing in disguise, as it meant that a number of objects remained intact for collectors.
A new course
The Netherlands have a long tradition in earthenware and porcelain. Already in the seventeenth century, the city of Delft was famous for its pottery; in the eighteenth century, Amsterdam, The Hague, Weesp and Loosdrecht followed suit with porcelain. At the end of the nineteenth century, under the influence of Arts and Crafts and Jugendstil, interest in ceramics flourished, and countless delftware factories saw the light of day. In 1883, W.W. von Gudenberg (1855-1930) established the N.V. Haagsche Plateelfabriek Rozenburg in The Hague, a factory that produced art pottery for both decorative and everyday use. The factory made, amongst others, vases and plates, decorated with floral Jugendstil motifs, which, with their predominantly dark and subdued colours, bore resemblance to the work of Fayence-en Tegelfabriek Holland in Utrecht and Wed. N.S.A. Brantjes en Co. in Purmerend. The factory also supplied naturalistic illustrations such as large-format tile plates and tile pictures for the decoration of buildings.
Left: Roelof Sterken, 1903; 6.3 inch vase, with a rare relieved surface of a spider in its web, between purple spider chrysanthemums.
One year after the establishment of the factory, Th.C.A. Colenbrander (1841-1930) entered service as an 'aesthetic leader'. This man, who is quite generally regarded as the greatest innovator in Dutch art pottery in that period, was originally an architect. He made the delftware factory in The Hague famous with his stylized decorations in bright colours, which were applied on a white or cream background. Also, the models he designed often had remarkable shapes: for instance, profiled vases and 'mugs' with pointed, onion-shaped or turban-shaped tops. In 1889, Von Gudenberg was fired by the board of directors. Colenbrander also left, and wandered around for a while. After working for the Plateelbakkerij Zuid-Holland in Gouda he ended up in Arnhem. Here, some of his friends and admirers established a delftware factory called Ram in 1920, where he concentrated on decorating vases with fanciful motifs in blazing colours. Six years after his resignation from Rozenburg, during which several directors had come and gone, the vacancy was filled by the appointment of J.J. Kok. This architect, born in 1861 in Rotterdam as Jurriaan Kok and called Jurriaan Jurriaan Kok from 1899 onwards, had received his education at the Polytechnische School in Delft. He formed a company with a colleague in The Hague, through whom he came into contact with Rozenburg. There he became an aesthetic advisor in 1894. In that year he already acted as a director for all practical purposes, and one year later his official appointment as general director followed. He had a clear vision of what he wanted to achieve: he wanted to return to the original aims of the delftware factory, which had petered out somewhat after Colenbrander's departure and due to the commercialisation of the Rozenburg products. In order to achieve this goal, he left the trodden paths and started developing new models, made of new material: eggshell porcelain.
Porcelain or pottery
Eggshell porcelain is named after the skin of the shard, which is so extremely thin that it is slightly transparent. Many experts have racked their brains over the question whether the material was real porcelain. Originally it was assumed that the pigments of the decorations couldn't withstand temperatures of over 1300 degrees C. This led to the conclusion that the material must have been baked at lower temperatures, and could therefore not be porcelain. Porcelain - which first got its name from Marco Polo (1254-1324) - was already developed in China in 600-900 AD. The production method of this popular material had been shrouded in mystery for centuries, and Europe had to rely on import from Asia until, in the early 1700s, J.F. Bottger invented the European hard-paste porcelain. Notably, this variety was baked at much higher temperatures than the Chinese material: 1370-1460 degrees C against 1000-1320 degrees C. Not everyone was charmed by this hard-paste porcelain (which the English call Dresden China) and in a number of countries softer material was developed, which - after the Chinese example - was baked at lower temperatures, e.g. in Scandinavia, in France (Pate Nouvelle) and in England (Bone China). After a few failures with Bone China, Kok started to experiment with a material that had been developed by Prof. Dr. H. Seger in Berlin. Which of the two types of porcelain clay he actually used is not entirely clear, but in the factory archives the composition was found: 19% Cornwell stone, 31,6% china clay, and 49,4% bone meal. With information from that same archive, 'Kok's secret' was also unlocked. In order to better conserve the decorations, he turned the traditional process around, ordering the biscuit heating (of the bare shard) to take place at very high temperatures, up to ca. 1500 degrees C, while the polish heating (of the glazed shard) took place at a lower temperature. Ergo, we can qualify eggshell porcelain as porcelain, on the grounds of the baking temperatures.

Brief Bio: It's a great pleasure to follow in the path of so many other dedicated and fun-loving volunteers who have helped to build our ski club into what it is today – Ontario's largest travelling ski club! I joined the club in 2009 after starting a home-based business which allowed me the free time to take winter Thursdays on the slopes and I've had a great time ever since.

Firebirds bring in fresh faces in offseason
By Brandon Pop e

Newly-acquired Flint Firebirds' defenseman Jalen Smereck in action with the Oshawa Generals last season.
FLINT – The Flint Firebirds have made several moves in preparation of their second season in the Ontario Hockey League this coming fall. During the June 28 Canadian Hockey League Import Draft, the Firebirds made a pair of selections that could be key factors in the future of the franchise.
With the eighth overall pick, Flint selected defenseman Michal Steinocher, a right-handed shooter from the Czech Republic who most recently played for HC Slavia Phaha in Prague. He is also considered a prospect for the 2018 National Hockey League Entry Draft, which would be his first year of eligibility for professional hockey.
In the second round of the draft, Flint picked up forward Kristian Vesalainen with the 68th overall selection. Vesalainen hails from Helsinki, Finland and most recently suited up for Frolunda HC, a member of the Swedish Hockey League.
On June 30, the Firebirds made a pivotal trade to boost the power of their blue line, acquiring defenseman Jalen Smereck from the Oshawa Generals. The Generals received Flint's fourthround
OHL Priority Selection pick in 2017, Mississauga's second-round pick in 2018 and Flint's fourth-round pick in 2019.
Smereck, a native of Detroit, is the franchise's first ever African-American player. In 63 games with Oshawa last season, he recorded five goals and 20 assists while also registering a point per game in the OHL Playoffs.
"One of the biggest positives of me coming to Flint is the relationship that I built with coach (Eric) Wellwood last season," said Smereck, referring to the former Oshawa and current Flint assistant coach. "He taught me a lot last year and it's great to have the chance to work with him again and become a Flint Firebird.
"Just walking past the locker room as a visitor last season, it looked like a nice facility and a nice arena and it's an incredible place to play in."
Since the suspension of team owner Rolf Nilsen and the replacement of the coaching staff, the Firebirds have been able to land several commitments from their draft picks. Prior to the draft, it was unknown if players would commit to Flint due to last season's controversy, but players seem to be impressed with the new regime in place.
Most of Flint's higher-round draft picks have committed. On July 5, seventh round pick Jack Phibbs committed to playing in Flint. A forward from Cayuha, Ontario, Phibbs was selected 133rd overall and played in the Greater Ontario Junior Hockey League last season for the Brantford 99ers, recording 44 points in 50 games.
The Firebirds' 2016-17 season begins on Wednesday, September 21 at the Dort Federal Credit Union Event Center against the rival Saginaw Spirit. Puck drop is at 7 p.m.

The BEST Volkswagen Golf Ever, In our Eyes!
From our personal experience!
With the all new 8th generation Volkswagen Golf about to be shown to the world in a few days' time, we would like to share with you, what we think is the very best Volkswagen Golf ever built by the company, the Mk II Golf from 1983.
Why can we say this with confidence? Well, we owned two versions of the Mk 2 Golf some time before and we regret selling both today. The first was a 1984 GTi 8-valve which was a private import in from a Malaysian embassy staff. White in colour and with a tartan interior, it served us for 4 years without hesitation even once. This car saw us to Kangar and Kota Bahru many times with eventful fun driving.
8-valve vs 16-valve
Then we sold it to get a 1990 Mk 2 16-valve GTi. This 16-valve had a more refined engine at city driving and better fuel economy with a slightly upgraded cabin. But it was not as exciting as our 8-valve GTi which had more torque. A mistake we had made chasing new technology. We should have stayed with the 1984 GTi. We sold the 16-valve to get our current treasure, our 1989 VW Corrado, no regrets with the purchase, just wished we had the money to keep the Mk 2 Golf. Still looking to buy a Mk 2 Golf some day…at a sane asking price. Any out there for sale please let us know.
In 1983, Volkswagen launched the second generation Golf on the market. This model opened a "Golf generation" and many with it learned to drive. The fact is that this Golf has also become a worldwide success: when it was phased out in 1991, Volkswagen already produced 6.3 million units!
The new Mk 2 had brought more space with it. In a press release from 1983 it was written: "The total length increased by 170 mm (3.99 m), and the vehicle became wider by 55 mm (1.42 m)". Although the new Golf generation has grown considerably larger, Volkswagen has been able to improve the aerodynamics of the vehicle: the Cd value has dropped from 0.42 to 0.34!
It should also be mentioned that Golf Mk II has set new technical benchmarks in the compact vehicle class. This generation of vehicles recorded the introduction of the catalytic converter (1984), the ABS system (1986) and the power steering. Golf was also available with all-wheel drive for the first time (Syncro, 1986). In addition, the GTI engine was the first four-valve Golf engine (1986).
In 1988 it was launched as a sporting highlight of the series – Rallye Golf G60 – generating 160 hp and having a G-Lader supercharger under the hood. In the same year, golf production reached 10 million: an extremely large one.
An interesting model emerged in 1990: Golf Country with all-wheel drive offered the "first taste" of modern sports utility vehicles (SUVs). Since 1991, Golf Mk II has been assembled not only in Wolfsburg, but also in the new Mosel plant near Zwickau (Saxony).
History of Golf Mk II in figures:
1983: The start of the second generation Golf.
1984: First Golf with catalytic converter. The debut of the second generation Golf GTI.
1985: The 7,000,000 golf course left the production line in March.
1986: First Golf (GTI) with four-valve petrol engine. The first Golf Syncro with a viscous coupling (all-wheel drive). Similarly, Golf Syncro became the first Golf with ABS since August.
1987: ABS becomes available for all GT and GTI models. The catalytic converter also becomes available for smaller engines. The generation is undergoing a facelift. The Golf GT Syncro becomes the first with standard ABS.
1988: Rallye Golf G60 debuts. The debut of the Golf Limited G60. Golf with 10,000,000 left the production line in June.
1989: The golf course with the number 11,000,000 left the production line in October. The debut of the Golf City Stromer and Golf Hybrid models.
1990: All Golf models with gasoline engines began to come standard with a catalytic converter from February. The same year Golf Country debuted. The Golf GTI unit with the number 1,000,000 left the production line in November and also this month the Golf model with the order number 12,000,000.
1991: The first Golf produced at the Mosel plant near Zwickau in March. The second generation was phased out of Western Europe after a total of 6.3 million units were produced.
In four days the 8th generation Golf will be unveiled and we wait for its arrival.

Chancellor of Justice probes use of location data to combat coronavirus outbreak
Teleoperator Telia has provided government with a custom-made location data app to analyse traffic flows nationwide.

Yle News
11.4.2020 • Updated 11.4.2020 14:16
The Office of the Chancellor of Justice has launched an investigation into how the government and different ministries have been using technology and location data to combat the spread of Covid-19, the disease caused by novel coronavirus.
The chancellor's office took a special interest in how traffic monitoring is being conducted, following the publication of a statement by teleoperator Telia, in which it said it had handed over anonymised phone location data to the government.
Location data shows where people's phones connect with the mobile network in different places and allows for the monitoring of traffic flows as well as people's movements. Anonymisation means that it it not possible to identify individual users from the mass of data provided.
One week ago, Telia said in a press release that it had begun "a custom-made location tracking [service] for the government during the state of emergency".
The chancellor's office wants to determine how and for what purposes such location data will be used. It also wants to know what other technological tracking methods are being used, for example drones.
Agreement signed in late March
Government security director Ahti Kurvinen told Yle that the administration had signed a monitoring agreement with Telia at the end of March.
"Telia offered a location data app when it was reported that people returning to Finland via the Helsinki-Vantaa airport posed a threat of the uncontrolled spread of the epidemic," Kurvinen said.
The cabinet's coronavirus war room uses the data provided by the app to analyse situations such as traffic flows in various parts of the country.
"We can use the app to determine the amount of traffic moving in and out of Uusimaa. We can monitor the entire country. And Telia is also offering these services in other countries. I know that it is being used elsewhere," Kurvinen added.
"You need to take into consideration that we may have to seal off some other areas apart from Uusimaa," he pointed out.
Analysis of the data assumes that subscribers to other providers apart from Telia display the same behaviour when they move from one place to another.
Data contributing to decisions on rolling back restrictions
The government security chief stressed that use of the app does not infringe on personal privacy.
"People can put their minds at ease. Individuals are not identified. We are monitoring large masses of data and that allows us to see how people move between provinces and municipalities," he explained.
Data about traffic flows between different provinces is combined with other information such as infection analyses to provide a more accurate picture of whether or not the government's emergency measures are having the desired effect, Kurvinen explained.
"The data is used to compile a situation report that is provided for the use of the government, the prime minister and the country's top leadership. All of the data that we generate twice a day is at the prime minister's disposal."
Kurvinen said that when government decides on whether or not to roll back restrictions next week, it will be based on data.
"The security classification of the information is such that I cannot go into it any further at this point. But traffic has certainly slowed down inside Uusimaa and at border crossings. In other words, the restrictions have yielded the desired results," he noted.
Kurvinen stressed that the use of Telia's monitoring app did not require any special permission or even the invocation of the Emergency Powers Act.
"These are normal operations that do not even require exceptional circumstances, let alone the Emergency Powers Act. No one's [personal] data is exposed and no laws are being broken," he concluded.
Slew of grievances over emergency measures
Otherwise, private individuals have filed a number of complaints with the Chancellor of Justice and the Parliamentary Ombudsman over the government's use of location data to try and slow the pace of the novel coronavirus outbreak.
The grievances concern the actions of the government, Interior Ministry, the National Police Board, and even Parliament's Constitutional Law Committee.
Other complaints focus on the use of technical equipment to monitor the border between Uusimaa and the rest of the country.
Complaints about the actions of the Helsinki police department have also been sent to the Parliamentary Ombudsman.

You know the type of game which people warn you against playing but you never listen? Well.. I was warned very strongly against Velvet Assassin, but being a sucker for games with heroines I went ahead and bought it anyway. You play as Violette, a British spy/assassin, who likes to sneak up on unsuspecting Nazis and filet them with a dagger. She also glows purple in the dark.
Unfortunately I'm really conflicted over how I feel about Velvet Assassin. It's the type of game you will curse to high heaven whilst playing, but as soon as you take a break from it you're itching to jump back in. It has it's good and bad points, I just don't know if the good points are strong enough to support it. The story is definitely a good point; inspired by a real-life secret agent, the levels are based around infiltrating numerous Nazi headquarters and taking out the guy at the top. At one point I even broke into a Gestapo prison to kill a fellow agent. As enjoyable as the story was, because of the time period, it also had some rather disturbing scenes. The particular level I've had vividly imprinted into my memory is set in a Gestapo prison in the Warshaw Ghetto. It's pretty intense with the streets littered with murdered men, women and children. I'm even confronted by numerous hanged people, victims inside the prison. Later in the game, I'm trying to rescue a village set alight by Nazis. As I progress, I witness men lining people up against a wall and taking a flamethrower to them. I spent the majority of the game pretty shocked at what I was seeing during the actual narrative.

Maruti has started exporting the Euro-spec Baleno hatchback to Geneva. The hatchback will be set for display at Suzuki's stall at the 2016 Geneva Motor Show. As, Baleno was recently exported to Japan and witnessing the marketing strategy, the company has decided to launch the car in the european market soon. This opportunity reopens the European Market for the Indian Carmaker Maruti after four years.
Since its launch in India, Maruti Suzuki was entitled to export the hatchback to Latin America, Asia, Middle East and Africa, exempting European market. But, since the car is purely manufactured in India, the company is willing to take it to the Geneva Motor Show. The left-hand-drive European-spec Baleno is powered by the dual-injection 1,242cc petrol engine, mated to either a five-speed manual or automatic CVT. However, In India, the Baleno comes powered by the 190 DDiS 1.3-litre diesel engine and the 1.2-litre VVT petrol engine.
Moreover, the European-spec Baleno will offer optional 1.2-litre SHVS (Smart Hybrid Vehicle by Suzuki) powermill, also featuring engine via Integrated Starter Generator (ISG) and lithium-ion battery connection. The carmaker has been trying to simplify the driving experience of the new Baleno. It is all to offer fuel-efficient drive along with quality ride. Also, the global trim layout has been customized with various value added technologies, making it suitable for Europe.
As per the European requirements, the Baleno has been taken through various testing in the EU. Suzuki Motor Corporation's presence at the Geneva Motor Show will undoubtedly boost the Indian brand Maruti Suzuki business in the european market. We are expecting to witness a good sales of Baleno by the Indian Carmaker in the coming days.

Q&A Sunday: Does My Feng Shui Need Updates?
Is feng shui something that you set up once for a given room, and then you are good for life? Or is it something that changes with life events or the seasons?
As with most things in life, my teachers always taught me that "it depends!" So there is more than one answer to this question. In BTB Feng Shui, my teachers have taught me that it only takes one feng shui adjustment to transform your entire life. In fact, it's considered unfavorable to ask for too many feng shui adjustments, because it means that you don't trust the method that you were already given. My teachers described this as acting like a "hungry ghost," always wanting more, like an addiction. Rather than do too many adjustments, it is more important to do one thing well, and fully and mindfully put your energy into that.
So, theoretically yes, if you set up your home authentically and appropriately according to feng shui principles it's possible to be "set" for the rest of your life. But unfortunately, most of us (myself included) have subconscious blocks that we are not aware of that hinder us from truly changing our lives. In this case you can imagine a huge tangled knot. In order to unravel things, you need to undo one small knot at a time. Sometimes one amazing shift informs another positive step forward. And on the other hand, we are not static creatures but change all the time like the seasons in nature. I have clients who have me consult for them every season, as their lives shift and change and they adapt to the new and wonderful opportunities that feng shui has presented to them. Situations like this are not about being a "hungry ghost," but rather they are going with what life presents to them and doing what they can to harness the positive chi (life energy) and make the most nurturing and productive environment to achieve all their life goals.

UNOSAT Integrates Google Map Maker Data to step up mapping efforts over Pakistan
As the number of people affected by the floods in Pakistan increases, UNOSAT received additional requests from the Pakistani government and international humanitarian organisations to expand its analysis and mapping efforts. The International Charter Space and Major Disastersactivated in this case by the US Government has entrusted UNOSAT with the production of emergency response maps. This process is continuing as the Space Charter generates and delivers free satellite imagery that is analysed by UNOSAT experts on the same day of delivery.
Over 14 million people – almost one in every 10 Pakistanis - have so far been affected in seven provinces, while at least 1,200 people have been killed. This in a context where the monsoon season could last for at least another month, worsening the flooding we have seen so far, including in parts of country not affected so far.The maps generated are used in the field by international and national responders. The feedback being received in Geneva shows the primary role of geospatial analysis in providing updated information on the situation on the ground. In a message received from Pakistan an international expert said "the latest map for flooding around Sukkur town (Sukkur barrage) is fantastic (in fact all of the maps that you have posted are excellent)". The United Nations Country Team stated "UNOSAT is requested to continue the mapping support, they are providing us a lot of useful information and government is banking on it".
To meet additional demand, UNOSAT is also working with Google to mobilise the very useful data on place names and road names generated via with its Google Map Maker initiative. UNOSAT is the conduit within the United Nations for the use of such data in cases in which the international humanitarian community is in need of advanced geospatial information to coordinate response to major crises and disasters. Joshua Lyons, principal analyst with UNOSAT says: "In order to provide humanitarian actors with satellite-derived products that genuinely meet their specific and rapidly evolving needs on the ground, we really need more than simply lots of satellite images over a disaster area.
Access to very high quality and up-to-date baseline datasets on critical infrastructure such as roads, bridges, hospitals etc., has always been essential to help non-specialists to make sense of satellite-derived analysis products. This is why access to datasets such as Google Map Maker has had such a major impact on our work. It means the time we used to spend hunting for relevant data can now be invested directly in analysis; it improves the accuracy and confidence in our results, and it raises the overall value and utility of the input satellite imagery. The benefit extends beyond UNOSAT since we are able to share our mapping products with other UN agencies and NGOs operating on the ground.
For over a decade the geospatial community within the UN has explored ways to continue improving access to high quality baseline datasets over critical areas in the world--our collaboration with Google helps in our ongoing effort to make this a reality.

First, it was KFC New Zealand getting the KFC scented candle. Now, we hear KFC UK is getting a KFC scented candle too. However, this time, instead of smelling like a KFC restaurant, your room will be filled with the tantalizing aroma of KFC's signature gravy. You know, that sauce that lather over the mashed potato? Yeah, that gravy. I don't know, man. The gravy sure is tasty, but I am not quite sure if I want to have the lingering smell of gravy in my home. But if you have such a desire, keep reading to find out how you can get your hands on one.
If have read till here, it is safe to assume you want to have a gravy scented candle and if so, we good great news: you don't even need to buy to experience the gravy aroma. It is free. There's a catch, though. Only 230 such candles are being offered and one could be yours if Lady Luck favors you. If you are in the U.K., then head on down to this KFC page to have a shot in winning the KFC Gravy Scented Candle. That is it. That's all you have to do, apparently.
Not content with just filling your sense of smell, KFC UK has setup a thing call KFChill experience where you can treat your auditory sense with sounds of frying chicken, falling fries, or simmering gravy. The latter is, no doubt, the best companion sound effect to go with the KFC Gravy Scented Candle. Clearly, the KFC Gravy Scented Candle and the KFChill experience are marketing campaigns to increase the American fast food chain's visibility, but who knows? It may just trigger your desire to eat KFC. Wait, perhaps, that was the actual motive?
Whatever it is, it sure puts a smile on our face. KFC isn't new to wacky marketing stuns. During the last Holiday season, KFC had released a fried chicken-scented firelog, while in 2017, KFC Japan had a fried chicken-scented bath bomb. These wacky offerings joined a series of others equally wacky, if not even more wacky products, including KFC-flavored nail polish, a Colonel Sander-themed RFID dome tent, edible fried chicken bouquet, and a bizarre campaign that offered to give anyone who's willing name this newborn baby after Colonel Sander.


Music with a message is definitely something that both Usher and Nas are aiming to make with the release of their new single "Chains." The song, which highlights police brutality, premiered on Tidal and uses advanced facial-recognition technology to drive home the message.
While watching the video, you're urged not to move your eyes as photos of recent victims of police or racially based brutality, like Rekia Boyd and Trayvon Martin, are shown on the screen. The interactive video only works if you keep your eyes on the screen; once you look away, the video stops.
"I am no prison commodity, not just a body you throw in a cell," Nas raps.
"We're still in chains. You put the shame on us," Usher sings during the video.
Usher will perform the song at the Tidal X: 10/20 concert at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, N.Y., Oct. 20.
Proceeds from "Chains" will be donated to a donor-advised fund managed by Sankofa.org, a social-justice organization.

[Week 4] Hazel Grove CC 2nd XI vs Stalybridge St. Paul's CC 2nd XI
Stalybridge 2nd's recover from last week's battering to dominate Hazel Grove.
With Brian on one of his 37 annual holidays, it was down to Vice Captain Stephen Monks to manage the team's visit to Hazel Grove, and upon winning the toss and putting his side into bat, opening with the same pair as has started previously this season Alex Wilde and Jordan Elliott.
Hazel Grove CC 2nd XI vs Stalybridge St. Paul's CC 2nd XI – 18/05/2019
With Alex given LBW in the 11th over, with 18 on the board, runs (and deliveries for that matter) were a slow in coming, Stu Nock back with the 2s for the first time this season, put 13 on the board while Jordan at the other end ticked along at the other end, adding 8 himself before Stu was caught by Martin Hodson off a Steve Pigeon slow ball.
Once stand-in captain Monks came in at number 5, it was time for Stalybridge to start the attack in earnest, with both he and Jordan at the other end running at every opportunity that presented itself, and they put an exceptional 82 partnership before Monks was caught for 39 with a blinding catch from 13 year old Oliver Hodson, to see the visitors on 121-4. Jordan was bowled by ex-High Lane player Stuart Roscoe, unfortunately one run shy of his half-century, just 7 runs later; unlucky son.
With the majority of the bowling attack worn down, Tilak Bhojani was able to capitalise on a number of easier deliveries to help boost the Stalybridge score-card, and should have been out when on 13, after being dropped, and on 34 after being dropped and 58, after being dropped, ultimately finishing 63 not-out Go buy a lottery ticket lad!
Tilak was able to see out the 45 overs but Stalybridge ended up 8 wickets down with the final wickets being the last two balls of the innings, with Hazel Grove captain Jake Bennett (4-42) setting himself up for a hat-trick ball for his next match, by first getting a stumping of Ahmed Hayat (11) then with the final ball, earning Keith Bowers the first… of the season. Sorry Keith, has to be done. 🙂 The visitors finished 211-8.
After tea, we saw some of great bowling from Ahmed Hayat and Saad Jelani who both managed to bag 3 wickets apiece for just 30 and 29 runs respectively, between them bowling each of the first five wickets for just 50 runs, with only Steve Pigeon in that number putting up any resistance with 14 runs, with Mark Connolly (2-12 off 6) picking up two caught wickets from Stuart Nock and Jordan Elliott, and captain Jake Bennett in at #8 being the only other Grove player to reach double figures with a side-topping 27, it was left to Adil Zaman with equally impressive figures of 2-16 off 8.4 overs to see him off and the home side all out for 95.
Next week sees Brian back from golfing, if he can get back in the team after today's excellent all-round performance, when the visitors to Gorse Hall Road will be Hollingworth 2s.
And not a mention of Manchester City's massive 6-0 win over Watford in the FA Cup Final in sight. 🙂
Final result and score-card: Stalybridge St. Paul's win by 2 wickets and 116 runs.

[Week 3] Stalybridge St. Paul's CC 2nd XI vs Hadfield St. Andrew's Sports CC 2nd XI
Congratulations to the League Champions for the 2nd year running.
No, obviously I'm not making a sneaky jibe about my other club Manchester City who have just done the same, as that would be unprofessional and puerile of me, and I'm obviously better than that, I am of course speaking about Hadfield St. Andrew's who mid-way through their innings, despite it being only the 3rd match of the season, I proclaimed to anyone around me at the time would be top of the league come the 14th of September, after topping Division 6 last year.
The toss was taken and won by the home side, and Captain, Brian Stone put Hadfield into bat, openers Rick Ball and Jonny Hollingworth took no time to start racking up a score putting on 43 before Mark Connolly earned a catch from Adil Zaman at backward square-leg to dismiss Hollingworth.
With a break brought on by the rain, everyone was brought off for 45 minutes until rain playing tricks on the home players, allowing them to get the covers off, just to start up again, forcing a hasty re-cover, with the delay 4 overs were deducted from the 2nd innings.
The Hadfield skipper Ball was next to fall with the visitors on 80, again to the hands of Adil, but this time from Ahmed Hyatt, who also took the next in bowling Michael Hockey, soon to be followed at the other end by Connoly bowling Ian Morten.
His replacement, Hadfield's keeper, John Nicholson at number 5, is where it starting going wrong for the home side, Nicholson was able to soak up anything the Stalybridge bowlers threw at him, and was comfortably hitting the boundary on 17 occasions (14-4s & 3-6s) to rack up an unbeaten 105 while all but the last Hadfield batter being dismissed, as they completed their 45 overs 238-9.
After tea, with the high score playing on people's minds, a few wild shots were taken and greatfully caught in the field for the first three wickets falling for 51 runs, the idea of catching the total was now a pipe dream, and it fell to the remaining batsmen to try and salvage a draw, which drew ire and the visitors according to some of the returning batsmen.
It was Hadfield's captain Richard Ball who did the bulk of the damage, with an excellent tally of 6 wickets for just 8 runs in 10.3 overs, that saw Hadfield destroy Stalybridge for just 80 runs, with 4 overs to go, denying the home side what would have been an honestly undeserved 7 "rain affected draw" points, and ensured the visitors the maximum 20 for the second week running.
With the strength in both batting and bowling, I stand behind my prediction that they will be atop the table come the end of the season.
Next Saturday sees another Cup Final match for the 2nds, this time down the A6 when the hosts will be Hazel Grove, with Stephen Monks taking the reigns with Brian Stone who this week narrowly escaped the dreaded Golden Duck taking one of his 30 annual holidays, to go golfing.
Final result and score-card: Hadfield St. Andrew's Sports Club CC 2nd XI win by 158 runs.

[Week 2] Buxworth CC – 2nd XI vs Stalybridge St Pauls CC – 2nd XI
Stalybridge bowling attack demolish youth heavy Buxworth.
Sorry for the delay in getting this written, I can honestly say I fully expect further weekly missives to be just as equally slow in their arrival, as I've just realised how much work Hazel Grove's Ian Halford put in behind the scenes collating the results online each week, across not only the (then) six adult divisions, but the numerous junior leagues also, after taking on the role of looking after just the senior divisions and cup results, at 1:30 on Sunday morning, I was still trawling through match reports, which coupled with the problems with the PlayCricket scorer app login system during match day, highlighted to me the amount he did for the league.
With that out of the way, on with the game at hand; Stalybridge started the day top of the league with a massive one point lead over the rest of the division due to managing to scrape two wickets before being rained of last week, when everyone else had been called off beforehand.
Buxworth CC 2nd XI vs Stalybridge St. Paul's CC 2nd XI – 4th May 2019
After losing the toss, and being put in the field, Ned Woodman was quick to put a dent in the Buxworth attack, taking three wickets with just 38 runs on the board, the last breaking a blossoming partnership between Ian Walker and youngster Ross McCormack, who impressed me with his deft flick of the bat to get a lot of power for seemingly little effort, and whilst newly joined Tilak Bhojani huffed and puffed at the other end, he was unable to make his bowling impact the opposition, which brought another new face to the Stalybridge bowling attack, Saad Jelani, who set his stall out immediately, dismissing Ross with his opening ball, and his replacement Sam Cooper 5 balls later to finish his first over in a Stalybridge shirt, with a 2 wicket maiden, not a bad start.
With five wickets down and only 44 on the score board, Ahmed Hyatt replaced Ned bowling from the base of the slope, and managed to take the next wicket with an acrobatic slip catch from captain Brian Stone to the amazement of all, not due to the nature of the catch, but how he managed not to break his hip in the process with his advancing years. 😉 With Saad taking his third and final wicket of the home side's wicket-keeper Nick Adams LBW, which to my eye looked like he edged it (but who am I to complain?), Buxworth were well and truly on the ropes at 56-7; when Ned returned to earn his 5fer first almost taking the middle stump out of the ground to dismiss Dylan Moore, then secondly forcing longstanding SSPCC stalwart Stuart Barnes into a great instinctive catch at midwicket, to dismiss Buxworth captain Richard Millward, and it was only a few balls later that Tilak Bhojani got his just rewards for his earlier hard work, bowling Daniel Lacey to see the hosts finish their innings on just 80 runs, 23 of which were extras.
Stalybridge commenced their innings after tea with Alex Wilde and my son Jordan, who after a couple of decent boundaries, missed a straight defensive shot to be replaced by keeper Mike Hatton, who after smacking his first ball to the boundary, hit his second into the welcoming hands of Tom Moss at long on; denying Stalybridge the maximum possible 20 points (more on that in a moment).
It was the arrival of Stephen Monks (31*) at number 4 with Stalybridge 28-2, coupled with the steady hands of opener Alex Wilde (29*) who carried the bat at the other end, that saw the pair notch up a excellent 56 partnership to complete the rout in just 17.3 of the 62 overs available.
Well done lads, it meant we ended the day where we started, albeit joint leaders with Hadfield St. Andrew's, who despite batting second, like Stalybridge and bowling out their opposition with the same two losses of wickets as Stalybridge earned an additional point for the maximum 20, for allowing their opposition to reach 100 before bowling them out, which in my eyes seemingly punishes a team for playing better… Not that I'm bitter.
Hey ho! Anyway, next week, see's Brian's squad play host to … Hadfield St. Andrews; weather permitting of course.
Final result and scorecard here: Stalybridge St. Paul's CC 2nd XI win by 8 wickets.
