Thread: 2012 Ford Focus
Vulture of The Western World
The Land of The Edentulites
People who read car reviews are rightly jaded by the endless press-kit recycling PR stroke jobs. Every car is a good car; no car has any real faults - let alone, just flat-out sucks. So when I say that the 2012 Ford Focus is clearly one of the top three compact economy sedans on the market right now - and arguably the best compact economy sedan on the market right now - and obviously, objectively better than the former benchmark Honda Civic - you may be thinking, did Ford slip this dude a check?
But do yourself a favor. Check my words against the car itself. Go take a look. Better yet, go for a drive. Then take a look - and drive - the Civic and others in this class.
Your decision will come down to one of three - and I'm betting one of those three won't be a Honda.
And of them will be - or at least, should be - a Ford.
The Focus is Ford's compact entry-level sedan/hatchback sedan. It competes against others in this size and price range like the Honda Civic, Chevy Cruze, Mazda3 and Hyundai Elantra, among others.
Prices start at $16,500 for a base S sedan and run to $22,200 for a top-of-the-line Titanium edition.
The 2012 Focus is completely redesigned.
Feels quality; looks great. Drives exceptionally well.
Strongest standard engine/best performance in class.
Offers unusual for this class/price range technology and luxury features, including an automated parallel parking system.
Great gas mileage (40 highway) with optional six-speed automatic and fuel economy package.
Loaded, it's just over $22k.
WHAT'S NOT SO GOOD
Gas mileage drops 4 MPG on the highway with standard five-speed manual transmission.
Mediocre 3/36 standard warranty coverage.
Hyundai Elantra and Mazda3 start out about $1,300 less.
Every Focus comes standard with a 160 hp, 2.0 liter four-cylinder engine driving the front wheels through either a five-speed manual or six-speed (dual clutch) automated manual called Powershift.
The Ford's engine is larger and significantly stronger than competitors' standard engines. For example, the Honda Civic's standard 1.8 liter, 140 hp engine. Also the Chevy Cruz's standard - and even less powerful - 1.8 liter, 136 hp engine.
The Ford also outpowers the sporty Mazda3, which comes standard with a 2.0 liter, 148 hp engine. Another rival, the Hyundai Elantra, comes standard with a 1.8 liter, 148 hp engine.
All of the above-mentioned competitors take more than 9 seconds to reach 60 MPH. A few, more than 9.5 seconds.
The Ford gets there in the mid-eights, a significant - and noticeable - difference.
Gas mileage is also top-drawer: 28 city, 40 highway with the optional Super Fuel Economy package that includes aerodynamic improvements and lower rolling resistance tires. The Focus without the package still does well, too: 28 city, 38 highway with the six-speed automated manual.
The base Civic, meanwhile, gets 28 city, 36 highway; the Cruze with its standard engine rates 25 city, 36 highway. And Mazda's 3 comes in at a sub-par for the segment 25 city, 33 highway. Only the Elantra beats the Focus - and only just barely. It gets slightly better city mileage (29 MPG) and exactly the same highway mileage (40 MPG) as the Ford is capable of.
But, there's a catch.
If you want to shift for yourself - or just want to keep the purchase price as low as possible by not ordering a higher-trim model equipped with the six-speed automatic - you'll pay a bit more at the pump. The manual-equipped Focus registers 26 city, 36 highway - a significant MPG drop. In years past, a manual-equipped version of a given car would usually get better mileage, but that's no longer always true. The six-speed dual clutch automated manual in the Focus has more favorable gearing (six speeds vs. the manual's five) and it shifts more precisely and consistently (and so, more efficiently) than most human drivers can. But, of course, it will cost you extra to enjoy these perks.
Also, both the Cruze and the Mazda3 offer optional engines that match or even exceed the power/performance - and MPGs - the Focus delivers.The 2012 Mazda3, for example, offers a "SkyActive-G" version of its 2.0 liter engine that produces 155 hp - almost as much as the Focus's engine - and matches its 40 MPG on the highway.
There's also an Si version of the Civic that costs about $22k (roughly the same as a top-of-the-line Focus Titanium) and which comes with a 201 hp engine and 6.9 second 0-60 time. But this version of the Civic will cost you almost 10 MPG at the pump, too.
Acceleration-wise, the Focus is the clear pick of the litter. The numbers tell you this before you even turn the key. But once you do turn the key, you'll discover how much more pleasant it is to drive a car with a margin vs. one that hasn't any.
What I mean is this: The Ford's competition starts out on the marginal side, power-wise. With just the driver on board and assuming no hills or fast-paced, aggressive traffic to deal with - they are adequate. But add a passenger or two (which means, adding a few hundred pounds of weight) or point the car onto a road teeming with close-cropped and fast-moving traffic - and you'll quickly discover what marginal means. The Focus, on the other hand, is quick with just the driver on board, with plenty of margin - reserve power - on tap to deal with some extra weight or a request for the speedy surge that's often necessary to assert yourself in the modern driving environment.
The optionally available engines in the Cruze, Mazda3 and Civic fix the bad case of The Slows that afflicts the base engine-equipped versions of those cars. But you have to pay extra to get them.
Ford gives you more-than-margin as standard equipment.
The other thing to mention about the Focus is the solidity of the car - literally. It weighs several hundred pounds more than the Civic (2,907 lbs. vs. 2,608 lbs.) which imparts the feel of an almost mid-sized car, not a compact.
How Ford managed to get the Focus to beat the Civic on gas mileage - and power/performance - while weighing 300 pounds more is a mystery for the ages.
AT THE CURB
$16k goes a long way today.
As recently as five or so years ago, you had to spend closer to $20k to get a decent car. By decent I mean something more than just an MPG machine - you know, basic transportation.
This Focus is a really nice car, not just relative to the competition - but a really nice car, period. It looks nice; it has a nicely laid out (and fitted out) interior. It drives nicely (see above). There are also numerous thoughtful small details, such as the twin molded-in cubbies you'll find in the back seat area.
And for the price, there's a lot to love.
In addition to its class-leading standard engine (and class-leading MPGs), the as-it-sits $16,500 Focus comes with all the essentials, including AC and power windows, locks and a four-speaker stereo with CD.
Competitors like the Elantra, Mazda3 and Cruze are similarly equipped - and in the case of the Mazda3 and Elantra - cost about $1,300 less to start, too. However, none of the Ford's competition offers equipment like the optionally available Parking Technology Package, which in addition to the now-common back-up camera and buzzer also includes an automated parallel parking system that literally parks the car for you. Now, as a purely personal matter, I am not a big fan of this kind of technology, which I think takes too much responsibility for mastering what ought to be basic driving skills away from the driver of a car so equipped. But the fact is no other car in this class offers such a feature, which is generally available only in much more expensive cars.
Ditto the Wi-Fi enabled MyFord LCD touchscreen display for the GPS/audio units.
You can also order your Focus with a Winter Package that includes toasty seat heaters (some aren't, incidentally) as well as outside rearview mirrors. Another high-end feature in the Focus is Ford's Sync system which integrates external electronics such as cell phones/iPods with the car's built-in infotainment equipment.
My test car had Sync, the MyFord screen, premium HD audio with Sirius satellite, the Winter Package with seat heaters, leather and brushed aluminum trim and a set of handsome black-powder coated 17-inch "mach" snowflake wheels and the sticker came to $21,150.
I have only a few complaints - most of them minor and at least one, entirely subjective.
The first minor one is the awkward location of the controls for the seat heaters that come with the Winter Package. They are mounted far back on the center console, and partially buried beneath the center console storage cubby's arm rest. The 12V power point is also mounted here - between the two dials for the seat heaters - and it, too, is awkward to reach/use, especially while the car is moving.
The second minor nit is Ford's "euro" style outside rearview mirrors, which include two mirrors. The main mirror is your normal rearview mirror. The second mirror is a wide-angle smaller unit mounted toward the outside of the housing. When you glance at them together, you get two views at once - which can be a little confusing when you're used to the regular, single-view American-style rearview mirror. But you probably acclimate to it quickly and the dual-view mirrors do let you see more than the conventional type.
These are small things and may not matter to you at all. But there's one thing that's objectively weak about the Focus and that's its 3/36 basic warranty coverage (5/60 on the drivetrain). The new benchmark - set by Hyundai - is a 5/60 basic warranty and ten years, 100,000 miles on the powertrain. Ford's warranty coverage is merely par.
It's the only thing about it that's average.
Have you driven a Ford lately?
If not, you really ought to.
Throw it in the Woods?
Throw it in the woods!
I prefer driving a manual transmission.
Is it so difficult to make a six speed manual that gets MPG at least as good as the automatic?
Could the 5 speed manual have been adjusted to have a taller top gear for better highway cruising?
From your review, it seems that the manual gearing was adjusted to provide strong acceleration at the sacrifice of some mpg. For a small car 26/36 mpg is not bad, but I do not like the manual being less fuel efficient than the automatic.

Now you know why I love my Honda CBR600RR so much.
I couldn't agree more. A taller overdrive would help things on the freeway.

Minus The Bear has been around for 13 years now, but it still seems a little early for the band to be releasing an odds-and-ends record. Yet here one is: Lost Loves will collect an album's worth of songs that didn't make it onto the prog-inflected indie-rock group's last three full-lengths, 2007's Planet Of Ice, 2010's Omni, and 2012's Infinity Overhead. One of those songs—"The Lucky Ones," recorded during the Infinity Overhead sessions—is being debuted here. Smooth, cool, and teeming with atmospheric melody, it's as good as anything Minus The Bear has officially committed to record over the past few years.
Lost Loves will be released October 7 via Dangerbird Records.

Land Use Victoria registers plans of subdivision which create or alter owners corporations, as well as applications such as rules or changes of address.
Consumer Affairs Victoria administers the Owners Corporation Act 2006 which regulates owners corporation matters, including insurance and dispute resolution. For information about owners corporations, please visit Consumer Affairs Victoria.
An owners corporation (formerly body corporate) manages the common property of a residential, commercial, retail, industrial or mixed-use property development.
Owners of flats, apartments or units are usually members of an owners corporation.
Land Use Victoria registers plans of subdivision which create or alter owners corporations, as well as recording applications to record owners corporation rules or changes of address. The latter occur after the creation of an owners corporation.
Consumer Affairs Victoria's website contains further details about what an owners corporation is and what it means for owners of land affected by an owners corporation. This includes information on the responsibilities of an owners corporation, decision making and an explanation of common property.
Land Use Victoria cannot provide advice or assist customers with owners corporation queries. Please contact Consumer Affairs Victoria or seek professional assistance via our how to get help page.
Lodging a plan of subdivision
Plans of subdivision must be submitted using the SPEAR system. They can then be lodged electronically or in paper.
A plan of subdivision lodged at Land Use Victoria may create a single owners corporation or multiple owners corporations. Each owners corporation being created must also be accompanied by a document which sets out additional information about the owners corporation, including its postal address and how the lot entitlements and liabilities were allocated.
Plans of subdivision can be complex and we recommend that you use a conveyancer or lawyer to lodge them. The plan itself must be drawn by a licensed surveyor.
See fees, guides and forms.
For more information about owners corporations visit Consumer Affairs Victoria.
Lot entitlements and lot liabilities
Lot entitlements and liabilities are set out in the plan of subdivision. Once a plan is registered, the entitlements and liabilities will be publicly searchable in an owners corporation search report. For more information on entitlements and liabilities visit Consumer Affairs Victoria.
The lot entitlements and liabilities are determined by the developer in conjunction with the licensed surveyor before lodgment at Land Use Victoria, the basis of which must be described on the owners corporation additional information form.
If there is a unanimous resolution to vary the lot entitlements and liabilities, an application to Land Use Victoria can be made at a later date to record the new lot entitlements and liabilities.
Owners corporation forms
When deciding which owners corporation form to lodge with your subdivision, you may refer to the owners corporation schedule attached to the certified plan of subdivision, which includes a statement about whether the owners corporation is unlimited or limited.
Common property is defined in the plan of subdivision, and may include parts of the land, buildings and airspace that are not defined as lots, roads or reserves.
There may be multiple separate common properties defined in a plan, which will each have a separate identifying number (e.g. Common Property No. 1, Common Property No. 2).
Multiple common properties usually indicates that the lots in the plan are affected by multiple owners corporations.
Common property may include areas such as gardens, passages, walls, pathways, driveways, stairs, lifts, foyers etc.
Unlimited owners corporations
An unlimited owners corporation is the most common type of owners corporation and has no limits to how the functions and powers as determined by the Owners Corporation Act 2006 apply.
It will generally manage all of the common property affected by the owners corporation, including services, which is not affected by a limited owners corporation.
Limited owners corporations
Limited owners corporations may be defined as 'limited' or 'limited to common property', the difference being which sections of the Owners Corporation Act 2006 apply.
Limited owners corporations which have no common property are usually to manage any common services within the land. The owners corporation additional information document must define the relevant limitation in these cases.
Multiple owners corporations
These are common in large, multi-storey apartment buildings, commercial properties, or developments that combine residential and non-residential lots, but they may be present when only certain lots within the development are entitled to use common property.
There may be one or more limited or limited to common property owners corporations, which include only some of the lots as members. These limited owners corporations define a set of lots who have exclusive use and responsibility for the common property affected by the limited owners corporation or the service managed by it.
All owners corporations have rules for the control, management, administration, use and enjoyment of common property and lots such as matters relating to security protocols, parking and noise.
A set of model rules apply to all owners corporations. These rules are set out in schedule 2 of the Owners Corporations Regulations 2018.
A developer may set out rules for the owners corporation which are to be recorded with the plan of subdivision, or an owners corporation may resolve to create rules once it is established. An application must be made to Land Use Victoria to record these rules.
When lodging rules with Land Use Victoria, a 'consolidated copy' of the rules must be supplied. This means a current copy of all rules in place, as only one set of rules will be recorded against an owners corporation. Note that this does not include the model rules that may or may not apply.

The IAS Client Portal provides a consolidated view of our client's financial life and future planning goals. All in one easily accessible and secure location.
We work with each client to understand their unique goals, needs and risk profile.


At The City Law School all of our students are given the opportunity to volunteer for Pro Bono work. The Pro Bono Unit offers a range of activities including an in-house Advice Clinic, placement clinics, a partnership programme and a Streetlaw programme.
We leave it up to you to select the programme which best suits your skills, interest and professional objectives. If you take advantage of these opportunities, you are likely to gain valuable experience in the practice of some of the skills in which you are formally assessed. Obviously you will need to do legal research before giving advice. Similarly, an opportunity to interview a real client will help to develop your interviewing skills, while giving an advice in writing will help to develop your skills in drafting and writing. You may also wish to make reference in your CV to the work that you have done.
The Advice Clinic is an excellent opportunity for you to learn to give free legal advice with the help of qualified solicitors from Travers Smith, a City firm of solicitors, and Lewis Silkin.
The daytime Advice Clinic is open throughout the academic year for daytime appointments. and is also open for evening appointments on alternate Tuesdays between 6.00 - 8.00pm.
At the Clinic you will have the opportunity, in pairs, to interview a client with a real legal problem. Within seven days of seeing your client, you will be expected to write an initial letter giving details of the interview and the legal problems raised. After a further 14 days you will be expected to write a letter setting out your legal advice. You can only give advice after you have discussed the case with your Clinic Supervisor, who will be available at the time of the interview and on certain other agreed days. The Clinic Supervisor checks each letter before it is sent out in the names of the student advisers, endorsed by the Clinic Supervisor.
You will be given training before you meet your client and be provided with a handbook covering procedures in operation at the Clinic. At the training session your supervisor will allocate interview appointments to the trained students.
You also have the opportunity to take part in the Blackfriars settlement advice clinic, which are held on Wednesday evenings throughout the year. At the clinic you can assist with office duties, contacting clients and observing the advice given by Taylor Wessing's lawyers to members of the public.

Among the many walks and events that have been planned to celebrate the arrival of the first flowering bulbs of the year, one venue has combined a chance to see its carpets of snowdrops with the opportunity to eat cake.
It sounds like the perfect combination to us.
Gunby Hall will fully open to visitors from March 9, but between February 11 and 15 you can join the team for 'Cake and Snowdrop Walks Week'.
These small-group, one-hour guided walks will be on offer at 11am and 2pm for five days.
On the walks you'll find all the well-known and secret spots where Gunby's many snowdrops are blooming and learn more about these lovely flowers.
Warm up in the tea-room with a hot drink and your choice of cake, which is included in the price.
"We may still be officially closed, but it will be great to welcome visitors to Gunby for the snowdrop walks in February," says Gunby visitor experience manager, Astrid Gatenby.
"In 2018 we welcomed nearly 40,000 visitors again and the volunteer team has grown to nearly 200 helpers."
"In 2019 we'll be celebrating that Gunby was gifted to the National Trust 75 years ago.
"It was in 1944 that the Massingberd family gave us to the nation, which means we can still share this beautiful place with visitors today.
"Watch out for a 75-year 'birthday party' and lots of other events that mark this remarkable anniversary in the year ahead."
The walks are £9 per adult and £6 per child. Booking is essential by emailing gunbyhall@nationaltrust.org.uk or call 01754 890102.
Gunby Hall is located between Spilsby and Skegness on the A158, off the Gunby roundabout.


Reuters reported in its story headline, Iran says it has full control of Gulf and U.S. navy does not belong there, while citing the head of the navy of Iran's Revolutionary Guards (IRGC), General Alireza Tangsiri.
According to the report, "Tangsiri said Iran had full control of both the Gulf itself and the Strait of Hormuz that leads into it," and further cited the general as saying, "Closing off the strait would be the most direct way of blocking shipping".
"We can ensure the security of the Persian Gulf and there is no need for the presence of aliens like the U.S. and the countries whose home is not in here," General Alireza Tangsiri said in the quote, which appeared in English translation via Iranian state media.
This sparked subsequent reporting that Iran had effectively blocked the strait; however, a FOX story noted, "A check of conditions on MaritimeTraffic.com on Monday showed that conditions appeared to be normal, with heavy maritime traffic through the strait."
Normal to heavy maritime traffic in the Strait of Hormuz as of Monday afternoon.
But the elite IRGC naval commander's words are likely to raise tensions with Washington further, after prior remarks from both President Rouhani as well as other IRGC generals in early July suggesting that should White House sanctions seek to devastate Iranian oil exports, then no oil at all should pass through the area.
The Monday statement from General Tangsiri appears to be a reaffirmation Iran's prior position of possessing sole "rights" over the strait. The United States for its part, has maintained a fleet in the Gulf seeking to protect oil shipping lanes even as Iran has ratcheted up military "show of force" exercises of late.
Previously in the summer, the spokesman for the US military's Central Command, Captain Bill Urban, told the Associated Press that US sailors and its regional allies "stand ready to ensure the freedom of navigation and the free flow of commerce wherever international law allows".
The Strait of Hormuz at its narrowest is about 31 miles wide and approximately 30% of the world's seaborne oil passes through it, and the IRGC has in the past threatened the passageway by conducting war games, such as during a period of heightened tensions with the West over the straight in 2011 and 2012, and most recently in early August.

Barbados, Republic of the Caribbean, which includes the easternmost island of the Lesser Antilles. The island is densely populated and despite its small size one of the region's significant countries. The country's relatively high standard of living is mainly based on tourism, finance and other service activities, while the traditional sugar economy is of diminishing importance. Barbados has been an independent nation and a member of the British Commonwealth since 1966.
SONGAAH.COM: Are you interested in song associated with Barbados? Here is where you can see song lyrics and singer about this country.
Barbados - national flag
The flag originates from 1966. The blue color symbolizes sky and sea, the yellow sandy beaches. In colonial times, Neptune's trefoil was the country's coat of arms. As an expression of continuity, it is continued in the flag, but without a shaft to mark the break with the past.
Barbados - language
According to AllCityPopulation.com, the official language is (standard) English, but 95% of the population speak as their mother tongue the English based Creole language Barbadian Creole English or Bajan. Bajan differs from English by vocabulary, eg words like scotch for English place to sit, cutter for English salt bread sandwich or site? for English okay? . There are also differences in pronunciation and grammar.
The pronunciation differs from English in the absence of the final consonants [-t] and [-d] in eg [fag] for English fact or [pɑwn] for English pound; [-θ] is pronounced like [-f], so that Bajan path rhymes with staff; [ð-] pronunciation [d-] in fx the, them, this; many vowels are strongly diphthongized, so eg man and egg are pronounced respectively. [maən] and [εig]; unlike other Caribbean-English Creole languages, [-r] is often pronounced at the end of syllables.
Grammatical differences are, among other things, that Bajan lacks copula, a verb to connect subject and predicate with, as for example in Bajan I hay for English I am here; double nouns such as gate-door and sparrow-bird and in the pronoun (w) from, which is a plural form of you from the African language.
Barbados - Constitution
Barbados's constitution dates from 1966. The head of state is the British monarch, represented by a Governor - General. Parliament has two chambers. A 21-member Senate appointed by the Governor-General and a 30-member lower house elected by universal suffrage for five years. The Governor - General usually appoints the leader of the largest party or the leader of the largest coalition as Prime Minister, and he proposes a Deputy Prime Minister.
Barbados - geography
Unlike the other Lesser Antilles, Barbados is not of volcanic origin, but consists of coral lime, deposited on alternating layers of shale, clay and sand folded up from the seabed. Live coral reefs protect the coasts from ocean erosion, but the reefs are threatened by wastewater pollution. The island has a pleasant tropical, oceanic climate and was covered by forests before colonization, but they were cleared for sugar cultivation and only 50 ha are left.
92% of the population are descendants of Africans who were imported as slaves to the sugar plantations. Approximately 1/3 of the residents living in and around the capital Bridgetown in SW Coast, but the villages are close both on the coast and inland; they are connected by a fine-meshed network of winding roads in the hilly countryside. The population is stagnant due to low birth rate and emigration.

A large part of the island is still covered by sugar cane, which is sold through the EU sugar scheme. Barbados' two largest sources of income are tourism and the internationally oriented financial sector, offshore banking. There are a number of small industries in clothing, electronics, etc. The country's education system is well developed, and a department of the University of the West Indies is located in Barbados with teaching in most subject areas.
Barbados - history
Since the Spaniards in the early 1500-t. called Barbados, the island was probably inhabited by Arawak Indians; after a short time, however, these were exterminated or deported. In 1624, Barbados became British and colonized of criminals or dissidents who were forced into exile due to religious or political beliefs. In 1627-52, Barbados was privately owned, and its population grew rapidly. The residents were closely connected with the English settlements in Virginia and New England. Production on the island was shifted from tobacco to sugar around 1640, and the first slaves from West Africa arrived, while the number of Europeans subsequently dropped drastically. The island became the setting for the first sugar boom in the Caribbean, but soon took over Jamaicathe role of the most important British colony in the region. Before the abolition of slavery in 1834, several major uprisings took place (1696, 1702 and 1816). Barbados has not experienced the changeable affiliations that otherwise characterized parts of the Caribbean during colonial times. The island was isolated from other islands and in headwinds in relation to the prevailing wind direction. It was never fortified like many of the others and remained a British colony throughout the period up to independence in November 1966.
In 1937 there were riots again, after which reforms were launched for the benefit of the black part of the population. In 1958-62, Barbados was a member of the West Indies Federation, after which the island returned to internal self-government.
Barbados played an important role in the establishment of the Caribbean Common Market, CARICOM. In 1983, the Prime Minister, Tom Adams, was a central figure in the US-led invasion of the neighboring island of Grenada. This meant that the traditionally close relations with Britain were cooled.
In the 1994 election, the Social Democratic Barbados Labor Party (BLP) became victorious, and the post of Prime Minister passed to Owen Arthur (1949-2020). The party pursued a successful economic policy that led to growth, and in the subsequent election in 1997, the BLP won a landslide victory, securing approximately 2/3 of the votes. The government has successfully sought to attract foreign investment and has implemented privatization of public enterprises. In 2008, the opposition in the Democratic Labor Party (DLP) won the election, and the party's leader, David Thompson, became the new head of government. He died in 2010 and was replaced by Freundel Stuart. The DLP managed to retain power in the 2013 election.
Barbados was hit hard by the financial crisis in 2008. Tourism and financial sector activity declined and the country's debt rose sharply.

Mănăstirea Kopan este o mănăstire budistă din Tibet, lângă Budhanilkantha, la marginea capitalei Kathmandu, Nepal. Este membră a Fundației pentru Conservarea Tradiției Mahayana (FPMT), o rețea internațională de centre Gelugpa dharma, și a fost cândva sediu al acesteia.

Mănăstirea a fost înființată de fondatorii FPMT, Lama Thubten Yeshe și Thubten Zopa Rinpoche, care au cumpărat proprietatea de la astrologul regal al Nepalului în 1969. Numele ei provine de la numele dealului pe care a fost construită.

Kopan a devenit deosebit de celebru pentru predarea budismului către vizitatorii occidentali. Primul dintre cursurile de meditație anuale care are loc în lunile noiembrie-decembrie a avut loc în 1971. Aceste cursuri combină, în general, învățăturile tradiționale Lam Lam cu discuții informale, mai multe perioade de meditație ghidată și o dietă vegetariană.

Kopan include acum două instituții separate: mănăstirea, deasupra dealului Kopan, și Mănăstirea de măicuțe Khachoe Ghakyil Ling din apropiere (cunoscută sub numele de Mănăstirea Kopan). Mănăstirea a fost înființată în 1979 de Lama Yeshe pentru a oferi educație spirituală și practică modelată pe cea primită de călugări. În 2009, mănăstirea a început să strângă bani pentru a-și extinde locuințele și capacitățile folosite pentru educație, care a crescut de la 4 la 400 în mai puțin de 35 de ani, folosind site-uri precum GoFundMe.

Mănăstirea Kopan a devenit, de asemenea, recent o destinație de agrement populară pentru rezidenții și turiștii din Kathmandu. Sâmbătă primește în mod regulat sute de vizitatori. Mănăstirea nu este deschisă publicului în alte zile ale săptămânii.

No, you don't want to over-worry about your health, but some signs require attention.
Here are six often-dismissed health issues that you should address.
1. Fungal infections on your feet or toenails. Feet tend to be moist and warm, a good place for a fungus to grow. Your skin or nails thicken and become scaly and itchy; your skin may crack and peel or form blisters. If you have a blister, soak your foot in Burow's solution or apply compresses for a few days until the blister fluid is gone, then use an OTC antifungal cream as directed. Avoid moisturizers or hydrocortisone cream. An OTC treatment should work within about six weeks. While you're waiting for the infection to clear up, and afterwards, be sure to dry between your toes after you swim or shower, wear socks, take off your shoes when you're indoors if possible, alternate your shoes, and use talcum or antifungal powder on your feet.
Some people ignore "athlete's foot." Don't: you can spread it to other people and from your feet to your groin. Dry your groin area before your feet after bathing, and put on your socks before your underwear. Also, cracked skin can develop bacterial infections (not the same as the fungus infection), which are serious.
2. Cold sores and fever blisters on the lip. Don't panic that you have genital "herpes," which is generally caused by herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2). Most cold sores on the lips come from another virus, HSV-1. Most people are first infected with HSV-1 as children, and the virus lives on in the facial nerves. It can reappear in an adult after a cold or fever, or a stress like dental treatment, or too much sun. Try an OTC cream: there's some research backing zinc oxide creams, less for aloe vera. If a cold sore appears because you're stressed out, see it as a signal to be very kind to yourself — get a massage, find down time, or address a nagging problem.
3. Bloody spots under your fingernails. If you see signs of a broken blood vessel and can't think of any recent injury, you may actually need to see a doctor to rule out endocarditis, a bacterial infection in your heart. Antibiotics can stop the infection. Left untreated, a heart infection can be dangerous.
The same bloody spots could appear in the whites of the eyes or on the chest. Other potential signs people often miss include: pale skin; painful, red or purplish bumps under the skin on the fingers or toes; and small dark painful flat spots on the palms or the soles of the foot.
If you also have a lasting cough, blood in your urine, swollen feet or legs, or feel like you have a flu, get thee to a physician!
4. Pale skin. If your skin is much lighter than usual, you may have a heart infection or more often anemia, which means your blood isn't carrying enough oxygen. The most typical cause is an iron deficiency. In young women, heavy menstrual bleeding can cause anemia. Men, and women who aren't menstruating, may need a colon exam to identify a source of chronic bleeding. Don't just pop iron pills. You'll need a doctor to sleuth what's going on.
5. A butterfly-shaped rash on both cheeks that crosses the nose. You might dismiss a rash as a sign of fever, or sunburn. Be careful if it has the distinctive butterfly shape, which may indicate systemic lupus erythematosus, an immune disorder.
Often the first signs of lupus are a combination of joint pain and rashes. The rashes may look like red spots or be scaly and purple, and appear on your face, neck or arms. Other signs of lupus are unexplained fevers and patchy hair loss.
People often have lupus for some time before the condition is diagnosed. Although lupus strikes mostly women of childbearing age, men, children, and teenagers can develop it, too.
6. Belly bloat. Usually, you can explain belly bloat because you overate or ate foods that often bother you. But when a woman's belly is bloated for more than a day for no obvious reason, and has become uncomfortable, she should go to a gynecologist. The discomfort could be caused by a large mass in the ovary or fluid build-up and be an early sign of ovarian cancer. Once that's ruled out, you might experiment and see if you feel less bloated if you drink more water or cut out dairy products. Ditch carbonated soda and chewing gum.


ASSA - Adi Sarana Armada Tbk.
Improving used car prices since 2016, positive for rental business: Based on our market research, ASPs in the last few months on used Toyota Avanza (exhibit 5), the highest-selling MPV in Indonesia, are supportive of our view of a recovery in the secondary-car market in 2017. We note that the ASP on second-hand 2012 Toyota Avanzas in March improved 4.7% m-m or 5.5% y-y, to IDR134mn. Going forward, we expect the used car price improvement prevalent at the moment to be sustained, paving the way for a positive catalyst for ASSA's vehicle-rental and auction businesses in 2017.
Strong rental growth likely to sustain utilization of 93.4% in 2017F: For 2016 ASSA booked strong earnings of IDR62.1bn, up by 82% y-y, beating our and consensus expectations by 18% and 13%, respectively. The solid earnings improvement was largely attributable to higher operating profit of IDR256.2bn, up 20.5% y-y, on a strong performance from ASSA's vehicle-rental segment. ASSA managed to increase its utilization rate to 93.4% in 2016, from 92.6% in 2015, with total fleet up 6.7% y-y to 19,199 units (from 17,991) (exhibit 6), supported by the company's ability to retain long-term contracts, coupled with an efficient fleet-management system. For 2017, we expect ASSA to maintain its rental utilization rate at 93.4% and grow its fleet size to 20,900 units (+8.9% y-y), resulting in rental-segment revenue of IDR1.0tn (+15.7% y-y).
BidWin's expansion likely into another 3 cities in 2017: ASSA's car-auction segment, BidWin, plans to add new auction locations in 3 cities, namely Pekanbaru, Lampung and Banjarmasin. Currently, BidWin holds auction in 10 major cities, with weekly events in Jakarta and bi-monthly auctions in Surabaya, Medan and Balikpapan. BidWin managed to post strong performance in 2016 with the number of cars sold reaching 5,969 units (exhibit 7), in-line with our estimates. We expect BidWin to continue its solid performance and sell 7,000 cars (+17% y-y) in 2017. Moreover, BidWin is currently developing its own e-auction system in order to support its major expansion plans. This would increase BidWin's economies of scale, target market as well as flexibility in the auction process without having to spend a sizeable amount on capital expenditures.
At this stage of the cycle, we continue to like ASSA given the recent improvement in secondary-car market prices, which we believe will drive the company's rental segment growth over the medium term. Hence, we expect ASSA's sharp YTD market outperformance to continue (exhibit 4), particularly as the outlook for the car-rental and auction businesses remain intact, in our view. We raise our 2017-18F earnings (exhibit 9) by 17-20% due to lower interest cost on the debt at 9.2% (from 9.75%), leading us to lift our 12-month TP to IDR330 (from IDR280), based on an unchanged 2017F PER of 12x. With 36% upside potential to our new TP, we reaffirm our BUY rating. Risks to our call would be lower-than-expected secondary market prices, a slower fleet expansion and lower utilization rates.
Our recent visit to ASSA's car auction division (exhibit 7), BidWin, has provided greater insight into Indonesia's car auction business and the current scene of the secondary car market, particularly for Toyota Avanza and Daihatsu Xenia.
§ Avanza-Xenia prices not affected by Calya-Sigra launches: Contrary to recent reports, our car auction visit indicates that ASII's newly launched 7-seater LCGC models, Toyota Calya and Daihatsu Sigra, have not disrupted Avanza-Xenia's used car prices. According to BidWin's management, Avanza-Xenia's used prices have been stable, unaffected due to Calya-Sigra's different market segmentation. Additionally, within the used car market, leading brands remain with Avanza and Xenia, supported by ASII's strong after-sales service and cheaper spare parts compared to their nearest rival, Honda Mobilio. From our visit, we learned that 2012 Toyota Avanza 1.3 G MT units were sold between IDR118-120mn (exhibit 6), in line with pricing of cars outside car auctions of IDR128-130mn, which reflects used car dealers' required margins of IDR10mn/car, or a c.8% premium versus auction prices. That said, our recent survey on Avanza's used car prices (exhibit 5) confirms stable market value despite launches of the 7-seater LCGCs back in August.
§ Preference for ex-ASSA cars on fast availability of legal documents: Based on our channel checks at the auction, customers prefer ex-ASSA rental cars due to full car-maintenance records and fast availability of complete legal documents, allowing dealers to quickly offload their new purchases. This is important to provide the legal basis for dealers in selling used cars in a timely manner while complete service history provides additional value towards the cars' selling prices. Hence, both factors result in high demand for ex-ASSA car rental units.
§ BidWin's 2016 major expansion from 2 to 10 cities: BidWin recently underwent a major expansion on the number of its branches and auction schedule. Currently, BidWin holds auctions in 10 cities (exhibit 10) with weekly events in Jakarta, compared to 2015's bimonthly auctions in just two cities: Jakarta and Surabaya. In terms of volume, BidWin targets the number of auctioned cars to significantly rise by 64% y-y to 11,500 units in 2016. We believe BidWin is in line to achieve its target, as the 1H16 number of cars auctioned has surpassed the full-year 2015 figure of 7,000 units.
BidWin is currently considering whether to develop its own e-auction scheme (like eBay) in order to support its major expansion plans. This would increase BidWin's economies of scale, target market and flexibility on the auction period/process without having to spend heavy capex.
On stable Avanza-Xenia used prices and BidWin's strong performance, ASSA's strong ytd market outperformance (exhibit 4) should be sustainable. Thus, we reiterate our BUY rating and 12M TP of IDR220, implying 17% potential upside and a 2017F PE of 10.4x, a 10% discount to regional peers (exhibit 11). Risk: Lower used car prices due to new car launches on intense competition.

Q: Running a browser game in Java I would like to know how I would kind of like run a online browser game, like tetris, as a Java application so I could control it (like in tetris using the wasd or arrow keys to move blocks) from within the application I program for the game. Not sure if that makes sense but don't know how else to explain it. The purpose is to hook it up to an AI program that plays the game, but yeah I don't know how to allow the program to control the game using the games allowed inputs.

A: Java.awt.Robot seems to be what you need
It should be able to simulate any keyboard or mouse input, but if you need to do anything too complicated I would suggest something other than Java - it doesn't get too close to the operating system, so something like c++ may be more accurate.

Q: Definition of a limit on logarithms Use the definition if the limit to prove that  $\lim_{n\to\infty} \log_9 (81n^2 +1) -\log_3 n =2$.
Not sure how to dimplify and make a delta episolon proof.

A: Start by seeing that $\log_3 n = \log_9 n^2$. So you have to calculate the limit of
$$
\log_9(81n^2+1) - \log_9(n^2) = \log_9\frac{81n^2+1}{n^2} = log_9(81+\frac{1}{n^2})
$$

We are extremely grateful to many senior people from business and academia for their help in compiling the SERP report, and also for those who are contributing to the dialogue through the blogs and associated comments.
We adopted a three-stage approach to the SERP report.
First, we sought the views of senior leaders from institutions, businesses, and the professions. Within this group, we sought the views of two different organisational communities, to ensure that we gathered opinions both from the board and senior executives (who are responsible for strategic decision-making), as well as corporate affairs, communications, or community/sustainability leaders (who typically work to influence, engage, and shape social evaluations). The first group consisted of the 130+ senior corporate affairs professionals who are members of the Oxford-Globescan Corporate Affairs Global Council.[1]
Second, we took the initial insights from the Oxford-Globescan Corporate Affairs Global Council, sharing these with the group of 50+ Visiting Fellows at the Oxford University Centre for Corporate Reputation, a list of whom can be found on the Oxford University Centre for Corporate Reputation website.[2] These Visiting Fellows reviewed the initial list of themes, adding their comments and views, which then helped us decide how to prioritise and group the issues under the ten themes seen in this report.
Finally, we provided this group of ten key themes to the group of over 40 business scholars who are recognised leaders in their respective scholarly fields and who collectively make up International Research Fellows at the Oxford University Centre for Corporate Reputation.[3] These scholars took the set of ten identified priority areas and created the series of specific example research questions enclosed in this report.
We are deeply grateful to all three communities for their insights and guidance.

Sneaker Etiquette: When is it Acceptable to Wear Sneakers?
Sneakers. They're comfortable, they're functional and they can be really cute – but when and where can you acceptably wear them?
As sneakers become more chic and grace the pages of fashion magazines around the world, the sneaker etiquette lines seemed to have blurred – but here are my top tips to help you know what's right and what's wrong.
You've just seen a bunch of celebrities pairing Nikes with ballgowns at the Oscars - but it just feels weird to you. This is when I say it's best to go with your gut.
If you're feeling like sneakers are too casual - they probably are. Switch them out for shoes that feel more appropriate for the occasion.
When pairing sneakers with a dress or a skirt, remember that simple is best!
Sneakers and dresses or skirts can make for a cute casual look - but you want to keep things simple.
Make sure you don't overdo it by pairing your outfit with multicoloured or distracting sneakers. Try a solid colour or even a lace-less slip on sneaker to bring the look together.
When pairing sneakers with jeans - cuff them!
Try cuffing your jeans when pairing them with sneakers to elongate your legs and bring more attention to your sneakers.
You can have the fanciest sneakers in the world - but your socks can make or break the ensemble. Try no-show or ankle socks to make sure the attention stays on your shoes.
The sneakers you wear for your workout probably shouldn't be the ones you wear for lunch with friends or pair with a casual outfit. Go for functional in the gym and fashionable when it comes to your outfit.
Pin my sneaker infographic to ensure you never make a fashion faux paux! Just click here or the image on the left to pin or save for future reference!

Moredon Bridge, West Swindon – 50 dwellings – Wiltshire Council
In May 2014, Emery Planning secured planning permission on appeal for Wainhomes (South West) Holdings Ltd for 50 residential units, 14 of which would be affordable on land at Moredon Bridge, West Swindon.
The site comprises 1.7 hectares of grassland which adjoins a residential development of 200 dwellings. Part of the appeal site is a protected ecological habitat of calcareous grassland and is a Site of Nature Conservation Interest.
The issue was whether the loss of this grassland could be mitigated by one of the methods put forward by the appellants. The Inspector considered that the calcareous grassland at the appeal site would be likely to be in a poor condition and its loss in comparison with other sites where better quality land would be found would not be as significant. This was assessed against a tool known as DEFRA's 'Biodiversity Offsetting Pilots.'
One of three proposed ecological mitigation schemes or methods put forward was considered by the Inspector to be acceptable that would provide adequate compensation for loss of calcareous grassland. This was to manage and improve around 3 hectares of poor quality grassland located adjacent to a primary school in Bradford-on-Avon.
The Inspector stated that taking into account recent planning permissions for housing, the Council cannot demonstrate a five year supply of housing as required by paragraph 47 of the National Planning Policy Framework. He stated that taking all matters into consideration the proposal would not cause any demonstrable harm and should be approved.
