Schwab Lured Back to the Open Ocean
Bruce Schwab, with his Open 60 /OceanPlanet/, is trying to jumpstart American interest in the French-dominated world of singlehanded ocean racing. From our April 2006 issue.
Two days before the first race of Acura Key West Race Week, a cold front swept over the Florida Keys. The ensuing 35-knot winds battered boats berthed in the Truman Annex Navy Basin. Among them was Bruce Schwab's Open 60 OceanPlanet, which sustained serious damage to its starboard rail. Schwab, who'd sold crew positions on the boat to raise funds for his OceanPlanet Foundation, was forced to bow out of the regatta without sailing a race. "I was a mess," says the 45-year-old Schwab, the only American to finish the solo non-stop Vendee Globe. "The people that did the most to bring me out of my funk were the people there to race on the boat." Repairs should be finished in time for OceanPlanet to compete in this month's Charleston Race Week, with many of the Key West crew onboard. Meanwhile, Schwab is pushing an aggressive program-a sailing academy, a domestic circuit of singlehanded events, and a new Open 60-he hopes will put an American on top of the French-dominated world of singlehanded ocean racing. What surprises most average sailors when they sail on OceanPlanet?How easily driven the boat is; 20 knots is not that big a deal. With the unstayed rig, even experienced sailors, it takes them a while to grasp how the boat is rigged. The way we jibe is very different. You don't even pull the mainsheet in, you let the sail out and then you turn the boat. The boom comes whipping across. You don't bother to control the boom?We bring the windward runner forward. You let the main out to 80 or 90 degrees and then you spin the boat down on the wave. The main takes a long time to come across and as it does you continue to spin into the wind. If you do it right the main never reaches the end of the sheet, it goes into a luff. It's very anticlimactic when it looks like all hell is going to break loose. Then the battens pop through, you head down, and off you go.What's next for the boat and the OceanPlanet Foundation?We're going to create an offshore sailing academy for regular sailors to improve their own skills, taking what I've learned and what the other people involved have learned for shorthanded offshore sailing. We have this special boat, we want to make it available to other people.How does this connect with developing an American Open 60 program?Part of what we want to do with the OceanPlanet Foundation is be tied to a successful racing program. That's real important for growing and bringing sponsorship into the sport. I thought it would be a waste if I didn't utilize the success of the Vendee Globe and go out and get sponsors, even if it wasn't me on the boat. And you're willing to give the posh ride to whomever is most qualified?Yes, except it's not a posh ride. And that's something that everyone's going to learn. The flat-out racer guys have to learn a lot of stuff about keeping the machine going. Lifelong boat maintenance people have to refine their competitive game. And everyone has to be on top of the weather analysis. You said you'd never do another Vendee. What changed your mind?It's complex. There's the desire for speed and for the boat. I'm a lifelong rigger and lifelong tinkerer. I'm nuts about fast boats and Open 60s and I can't resist the pull. I would like to be in a competitive situation. I would like to prepare myself. There's just as much value in preparing for that, in my own improvement, as there is doing the race myself.Would this require a new boat?OceanPlanet was the perfect boat for a limited budget, but it's never going to win against a modern Open 60. The concept wasn't as far out there as people think. But if you want to go to the next level now you need to approach the Open 60 rule with a different framework.Would it look like the latest Open 60s?We have to look at all the options with two perspectives: to be competitive and to actually finish. It's going to be wider, it's going to have a canting keel, it'll look more like the other boats. But that's not to say myself and the design people I'm working with don't have some new ideas.What ideas would you carry over from OceanPlanet?My pet area is the rig design and I think that's the area of the most likely results. OceanPlanet's unstayed rig is just a first generation. We have a lot of ideas on how to do a more competitive option that would keep the desirable features.

Toyota Motor Corporation, Automotive
LAS VEGAS, NV, Jan 7, 2020 - (JCN Newswire) - At CES, Toyota revealed plans to build a prototype "city" of the future on a 175-acre site at the base of Mt.
Toyota to Build Prototype City of the Future. Fuji in Japan.
Called the Woven City, it will be a fully connected ecosystem powered by hydrogen fuel cells.
Envisioned as a "living laboratory," the Woven City will serve as a home to full-time residents and researchers who will be able to test and develop technologies such as autonomy, robotics, personal mobility, smart homes and artificial intelligence in a real-world environment.
"Building a complete city from the ground up, even on a small scale like this, is a unique opportunity to develop future technologies, including a digital operating system for the city's infrastructure. With people, buildings and vehicles all connected and communicating with each other through data and sensors, we will be able to test connected AI technology... in both the virtual and the physical realms... maximizing its potential," said Akio Toyoda, president, Toyota Motor Corporation.
Toyota will extend an open invitation to collaborate with other commercial and academic partners and invite interested scientists and researchers from around the world to come work on their own projects in this one-of-a-kind, real-world incubator.
"We welcome all those inspired to improve the way we live in the future, to take advantage of this unique research ecosystem and join us in our quest to create an ever-better way of life and mobility for all," said Akio Toyoda, president, Toyota Motor Corporation.
For the design of Woven City, Toyota has commissioned Danish architect, Bjarke Ingels, CEO, Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG). His team at BIG have designed many high-profile projects: from 2 World Trade Center in New York and Lego House in Denmark, to Google's Mountain View and London headquarters.
"A swarm of different technologies are beginning to radically change how we inhabit and navigate our cities. Connected, autonomous, emission-free and shared mobility solutions are bound to unleash a world of opportunities for new forms of urban life. With the breadth of technologies and industries that we have been able to access and collaborate with from the Toyota ecosystem of companies, we believe we have a unique opportunity to explore new forms of urbanity with the Woven City that could pave new paths for other cities to explore." Bjarke Ingels, Founder and Creative Director, BIG.
Design of the City
The masterplan of the city includes the designations for street usage into three types: for faster vehicles only, for a mix of lower speed, personal mobility and pedestrians, and for a park-like promenade for pedestrians only. These three street types weave together to form an organic grid pattern to help accelerate the testing of autonomy.
The city is planned to be fully sustainable, with buildings made mostly of wood to minimize the carbon footprint, using traditional Japanese wood joinery, combined with robotic production methods. The rooftops will be covered in photo-voltaic panels to generate solar power in addition to power generated by hydrogen fuel cells. Toyota plans to weave in the outdoors throughout the city, with native vegetation and hydroponics.
Residences will be equipped with the latest in human support technologies, such as in-home robotics to assist with daily living. The homes will use sensor-based AI to check occupants' health, take care of basic needs and enhance daily life, creating an opportunity to deploy connected technology with integrity and trust, securely and positively.
To move residents through the city, only fully-autonomous, zero-emission vehicles will be allowed on the main thoroughfares. In and throughout Woven City, autonomous Toyota e-Palettes will be used for transportation and deliveries ,as well as for changeable mobile retail.
Both neighborhood parks and a large central park for recreation, as well as a central plaza for social gatherings, are designed to bring the community together. Toyota believes that encouraging human connection will be an equally important aspect of this experience.
Toyota plans to populate Woven City with Toyota Motor Corporation employees and their families, retired couples, retailers, visiting scientists, and industry partners. The plan is for 2000 people to start, adding more as the project evolves.
The groundbreaking for the site is planned for early 2021.

I am replacing a manufacturing machine running W2K SP4 with one running WXP SP2. This machine is used to control / monitor PLC?s, among other things. After a few initial bumps, every application runs fine except for a few QuickBasic programs running in DOS.
I have identified the problem and it?s that the QB apps try to access files residing on a Netware 4.11 network folder named "calibration?, which is more than eight chars long. If I rename the folder to ?calibrat? (8 chars), the apps run normally and problem solved.
The issue is that there are several other users, both human and non-human, that write to the same folder through Excel macros.
It seems to be a lot more work to change those macros than to solve compatibility issues.
I have rolled back to SP1 on WXP but the issue persists. Setting application compatibility to DOS is not an option since the apps reside on a network drive and that?s the specific message I get when attempting to set compatibility.
Hope somebody has some ideas, as I am running out of them.
Which netware client are you using on the XP machine? is it the built-in netware client or is it a Client you got from Novell? Try the other client, that may help.
I have tried both (Client Service for Netware and Novell Client for Windows v4.9SP2) and still no sucess.
Under the Novell Client properties the DOS long name support is set to On.
I've come across this issue before and resorted to using short filenames. Here's a link that may help with understanding the limitations of the DOS name space.
Sorry, I can't be of more assistance but it looks like you may have no choice but to change your folder names.

Raheem Sterling's agent Aidy Ward claims half of the players at Liverpool did not rate Brendan Rodgers as a manager.
Ward was instrumental in getting Sterling to leave Anfield before Rodgers was sacked.
He insists he had no problem with him, but did question his man management style.
"How did he do? Good coach, but as a manager I didn't like certain things about how he dealt with Raheem," Ward told The Daily Mail.
"Fifty per cent of the players would probably tell you Brendan is not a good manager, but he is a good coach."
Ward was equally candid when quizzed further about Sterling's £49million transfer, claiming he regrets that his client is not still on Merseyside.
"Raheem could've stayed, he should be at Liverpool," he added.
Meanwhile, although one star attacker might have left, another could be on his way.
Borussia Dortmund's Marco Reus is reported to be keen on linking up with Jurgen Klopp again.
Reus worked with his fellow German at Dortmund for three years and is said to be desperate to work with him again.
The 26-year-old has been heavily linked to Liverpool in the past and a deal could be done despite Klopp's refusal to raid his former employers for their best players.

Large motmot of lowland forest and edges from eastern Panama to northwestern South America. Green above and warm rufous below, with a black mask bordered by a dazzling cerulean crown. The crown is not solidly blue, but instead has a circular black patch in the middle as if it's wearing a yarmulke. Like most other motmots, has conspicuous tail racquets. In typical motmot fashion, perches quietly for long periods of time anywhere from the understory to the canopy, occasionally flicking its tail side to side. Gives a low single "whoop" call.

| Remembering a friend, William F. Buckley Jr.
Michael Seringhaus
Remembering a friend, William F. Buckley Jr.
Michael Seringhaus 12:00 am, Feb 28, 2008
I first met Bill Buckley five years ago, after responding to an advertisement he published in the News. The ad was small, buried in the leaves of the campus daily. Beneath a soaring sea-bird were written the words, "Do you like to sail?"
Buckley, a famous political figure and author, was a legendary sailor — and back then, he was looking for a first mate to accompany him aboard his sloop Patito as he sailed on Long Island Sound. Unlike the hordes of blazer-clad conservative youth who would no doubt trade significant hardship for an audience with their hero, my only real exposure to Mr. Buckley had come from watching a DVD archive of his 1969 Firing Line debate with Noam Chomsky.
Despite these evident handicaps, he invited me for an interview over lunch. I vowed to do Noam proud.
After bloody Marys and a few glasses of wine, I remember feeling somewhat surreal, like I was a guest on his long-running program. I was having a swell time, but tried not to get too comfortable — since I was convinced that as soon as he found out I opposed the imminent Iraq invasion, our pleasant repartee would dry up. Deep into the meal and no doubt emboldened by drink, I broached the subject. There ensued a lively and quite heated discussion, at the end of which he hired me to sail with him.
That first lunch was the only time we really talked politics. I had thought it important to mark my ground, to make clear that I wasn't about to discard my convictions (youthful as they were) just to land a sailing gig. But more significant was what I learned about Bill: He didn't let politics dictate his friendships. Though famous for his conservative thought, he not only held court with avowed liberals, but charmed them utterly, too.
We sailed weekly in the sound that summer. Sailing with Bill Buckley was unlike anything I'd seen before, or since. The entire galley storage aboard Patito was routinely commandeered with the makings of just one lavish dinner; condiments occupied the whole starboard cupboard. We relaxed and talked with his guests, ate scandalously well and, just once, ran aground (hard!) in Stamford harbor. Bill's absolute arsenal of $10 words made him not only a famously eloquent speaker but a potent adversary at the word game 'ghost,' which, perhaps not coincidentally, he always had us play. His mischievous smile and unflagging joie de vivre made those trips unforgettable.
Buckley the writer was equally remarkable. He wrote, in addition to his regular syndicated column, a full-length book every year, this he generally banged out all at once during a few short weeks abroad.
In spring 2005, I accompanied Bill and his wife Pat to the Bahamas to help work on what would be his last novel, "The Rake." Our routine was set: We worked in the morning, broke for lunch, then took our daily walk around Lyford Cay to discuss the characters, the story and life in general. Watching a book take shape a few thousand words at a time dashed my conceptions of how a novel is written (and how long it takes) and spurred me to start one myself — an endeavor which proceeded briskly in Nassau but wallowed in Connecticut. Sharing a desk in paradise with one of the sharpest and most prolific writers of our time is a creative catalyst not easily replaced.
Through days filled with music — for which I had lugged a 'portable' stereo to the Bahamas in an extra suitcase — and nights dining with Pat and the most captivating guests imaginable, Bill wrote swiftly and finished the book, on time of course. In a curious echo of the culinary largesse on the boat, he shipped an enormous suitcase to Nassau packed with reams and reams of heavy-bond paper and a full-size laser printer. When you wrote with Bill, the daily drafts were not just reviewed on-screen — they were printed 40 pages per minute on resume stock.
My time with Bill stands out for me as it might for anyone: a highlight and a rarity. Each day jammed full of work and play, of life lived as it should be. Bill Buckley lived like that every day. Over the years, I was privileged to join him from time to time, to ride alongside as he wrote, sailed, laughed and lived with his legendary intensity.
William F. Buckley, Jr. stood out, truly larger than life. Anyone I ever took to meet him came away enchanted. He was much to many — a legendary political figure, a beloved author, a magnanimous gentleman — and to this Yale student, ultimately, a great friend.
Michael Seringhaus is a first year student at Yale Law School. He is an occasional columnist for the News.

Vassar must take lead in fossil fuel divestment
By GABE DUNSMITH, JILLIAN GUENTHER and CELIA CASTELLAN
Posted on December 21, 2012 in Opinions
The Vassar Greens, having launched a campaign this year to encourage Vassar to divest from fossil fuels, are thankful for last week's coverage in the Miscellany News ("Greens push for VC to divest from fossil fuels, 12.06.2012). As colleges' pulling of funds from fossil fuels becomes a national issue, we are excited to work with the student body, administration, and Board of Trustees to bring divestment to the table. Moving into 2013 with hundreds of signatures and having held talks with other student organizations, the Campus Investor Responsibility Committee (CIRC), and President Hill, the Greens' Fossil Fuel Divestment Campaign is hard at work to ensure that Vassar's endowment reflects the values of a 21st-century education.
The Greens have partnered with environmental organizations like Bill McKibben's 350.org to help fight climate change from our own campus. 350.org's name is derived from the safe amount of carbon, in parts per million, that can be in the atmosphere—and we've already reached 390 ppm. 350.org has launched a huge nationwide effort surrounding divestment, in concert with the group's other efforts to combat climate change with people-powered organizing. When our political leaders fail to address issues like this, students across the nation—and their administrators—are compelled to act. What does this mean at Vassar? It means divesting from corporations that have recklessly endangered our health and put our future in jeopardy.
When donors give money to Vassar, that money goes into the endowment. Vassar then uses that money to invest in the stock market, and those returns on investments go back to the endowment or enter the school's operating account. A portion of Vassar's stock market holdings, however, support the fossil fuel industry, which has a track record of environmental and social abuse (e.g., BP's oil spill, the Exxon Valdez, or blowing up West Virginia's mountains for coal). Divestment—withdrawing our stock investments from fossil fuel companies and redistributing those funds elsewhere—appears to be the best way to target corporations that put profit above health.
Vassar's investment policy should ensure that its money does not support the abuses of corporations like BP, Exxon, or Massey. The Fossil Fuel Divestment Campaign wants to work with Vassar to align our investments with a vision of social equality and human health. As such, divestment is in keeping with the College's mission of "a humane concern for society, and a commitment to an examined and evolving set of values." Vassar's endowment, which now sits at over $800 million, has performed admirably in recent years. We expect it to continue doing so without fossil fuel companies. In fact, there is tremendous potential for growth in the endowment if funds are reinvested in renewable energies.
Though Vassar as an individual institution may not have an impact on the targeted companies if it withdraws its shares, multiple institutions acting in solidarity will have a major impact on the industry. We are not asking Vassar to single-handedly take on the fossil fuel industry. We are asking Vassar to join a national movement. A national divestment movement has begun—large institutional endowments divesting from a set of the most harmful companies will generate economic consequences for the fossil fuel industry. Vassar's divestment would signal a social, moral, and ethical rejection of politics as usual.
As a historically progressive institution, it seems inconsistent at best for Vassar to tout an education of critical engagement with systems of oppression while investing in those same systems. Vassar expects its students and alumni to challenge themselves and others; and now, we expect our college to align its principles with its actions. We want the student body's choices to be heard, respected, and acted upon. To carry on with "economics as usual" is to disregard Vassar's social responsibility to its students and society at large.
Divestment goes hand-in-hand with a reduction in campus energy use. Vassar has already proven its dedication to reducing energy usage on campus in myriad ways. Without providing an exhaustive list, we can quickly note the College's dedication to phasing out coal usage; we can note the geothermal systems that now heat Davison House and the new TAs and THs; we can note the school's dedication to its co-generation plant which assures less energy is lost in the process of production and dissemination. All of these steps are excellent, yet they do not challenge the fossil fuel industry's business model of extraction and pollution. And that's where divestment comes in.
Through divestment, Vassar can demonstrate that the fossil fuel industry's business strategy is antiquated and destructive. Vassar can tell the coal, oil, and gas industries that their days of pollution are over and that it's time for a new age of renewables. Not only will divestment help build a better future for all of Vassar's students, but it will gain the College nationwide recognition and draw many prospective students who are looking for a sustainable and socially-aware college in a world that all too often lacks these traits.
Vassar has divested twice already: from South Africa in the 1980s, and from companies involved in the Darfur genocide in 2006. We know that divestment can happen again. When we work as a collective of students, employees, and administrators, or as a collective of colleges, we have power. Let's use this power make the decisions that our future requires.

Our Lady Peace and I Mother Earth Team Up for Canadian Tour
In case you missed I Mother Earth's reunion show in Toronto earlier this month, let it be known that Edwin and the boys have now announced their previously teased run of national dates. If you're a '90s-era Cancon fan, hold on to your Doc Martens boot tabs, because it's also been revealed that the tour is with Our Lady Peace.
The joint tour was announced today (June 20) in a press release, which notes that the two bands will be making their way across parts of Western Canada and Ontario this October. The trip begins October 15 in Abbotsford, BC, and will close out a couple of weeks later in Oshawa, ON. Also joining the bands throughout will be the Standstills.
The OLP/IME pairing makes perfect sense for a few reasons. Not only were the alt-rock-styled bands both big hitters in the '90s Canadian music scene, they had toured together way back when they were promoting their respective debut discs — I Mother Earth for 1993's Dig and Our Lady Peace for 1994's Naveed.
"We've always had immense respect for IME," Our Lady Peace vocalist Raine Maida said in a statement. "From their very first album Dig, the tour that followed and the Edgefests after that they solidified themselves as a seminal CDN rock band. To share the stage again is exciting both for our common fans & selfishly for us as well."
As previously reported, I Mother Earth had said that 2016 will see them playing festivals and booking "Evening with…"-style shows with Edwin on vocals, their first performances with the singer since 1998.
The band also apparently have "special releases" in the works, but it's unclear exactly what that means. It may be worth noting, though, that the group's sophomore set, Scenery and Fish, turns 20 this year.
In the meantime, you'll find all of the I Mother Earth and Our Lady Peace dates down below.
UPDATE (6/24, 2:50 p.m. EDT): A second Toronto show has now been added for October 25.
10/15 Abbotsford, BC - Abbotsford Centre
10/16 Kelowna, BC - Prospera Place
10/17 Grand Prairie, AB - Revolution Place
10/19 Calgary, AB - Grey Eagle Event Centre
10/20 Edmonton, AB - Shaw Conference Centre
10/21 Medicine Hat, AB - Canalta Centre
10/24 Toronto, ON - Massey Hall
10/27 London, ON - Budweiser Gardens
10/28 Ottawa, ON - TD Place Arena
10/29 Oshawa, ON - General Motors Centre

Expectations Versus Reality: Indian Women Showcasing Their Roots
Ankita Verma
[Photo Source: CNN]
I first heard of Kamala Harris during her campaign for the United States Senate. As an Indian-American woman with a great aunt named Kamala, I couldn't help but wonder: Is Kamala Harris Indian?
After doing a quick Google search, I learned that Senator Harris was born to a Jamaican father and an Indian mother. I was thrilled to see a high-profile female legislator with Indian roots gaining attention on a national scale. Senator Harris is quickly gaining popular recognition as a candidate for President of the United States.
As an Indian-American, I hoped that Senator Harris would highlight her Indian roots. Instead, the news often discusses her time at Howard University and the staunch support she receives from African-American and black communities. I, along with several Indian Americans who want more opportunities to connect with her because they "think of her as black," was surprised that there are rarely any mentions of Senator Harris' Indian background.
However, when asked in an interview if she ever struggled with her identity, she responded:
I am who I am. I'm good with it. You might need to figure it out, but I'm fine with it.
That was when I realized, everyone, including myself, must allow Indian women to simply be themselves.
Women of color already face additional hurdles and judgment compared to white women. In the workplace, they are often underrepresented and unlikely to attain a managerial position. As expecting mothers, their risk of dying during pregnancy, childbirth, or early motherhood is significantly higher. Too many black and Native women have gone missing with few efforts to find them. All this considered, perhaps it should not surprise us that the media scrutinizes women of color to a harsher extent as well.
Consider actor, writer, and producer Mindy Kaling. After a successful career on the hit TV show, "The Office," Kaling was the first Indian-American woman to write and star in her own television show. Despite the success of "The Mindy Project," Kaling received criticism for only having white love interests on the show. Kaling expressed frustration that critics asked her to address race more directly, saying that she tried "not to rely on or deny the fact that [she's] Indian" and instead attempted to de-emphasize her racial identity.
Kaling responded to this criticism on her show in an episode where her character dated an Indian man. She referred to herself as a coconut: brown on the outside, white on the inside. The episode's Indian characters also displayed the versatility of Indian personalities in the United States, proving that Indian identity is multifaceted. Kaling wittily responded to critics who questioned her allegiance to her South Asian roots.

On the other hand, actor, singer, and producer Priyanka Chopra has been under fire for being too Indian. Her whirlwind relationship with Nick Jonas included a high-profile wedding in Jodhpur, India. As is customary in Indian culture, Chopra's wedding events spanned several days and included traditional Hindu ceremonies.
Nonetheless, Mariah Smith from "The Cut" criticized Chopra for having wedding festivities that lasted a week and involved wearing flashy jewelry. Chopra put her Indian identity at the forefront of her wedding, yet was chastised for following common, meaningful traditions in Hindu culture. It seems that Indian women simply cannot satisfy their spectators.
The sweeping judgments and generalizations we make about Indian women are dangerous. They prevent us from recognizing the positive impact they have on South Asian communities.
Kamala Harris advocated for South Asian people when they were targets of violence and abuse after the 9/11 terrorist attacks in America. Mindy Kaling posted an open casting call asking South Asian women to audition for her new Netflix series, for which more than 15,000 applicants submitted audition materials. Priyanka Chopra's wedding festivities showed Hindu girls that their culture, traditions, and heritage deserve to be recognized and appreciated globally.

These women are doing important work that we must recognize instead of judging how they choose to showcase their roots.
We all have complex identities and feel stronger ties to some aspects of ourselves than others. Whether the Indian identities of Senator Harris, Kaling, or Chopra manifest differently, or not at all, we must accept their choices. Instead of criticizing women with Indian backgrounds for not meeting our expectations, we should elevate them for rising to success in fields previously untouched by Indian women and ultimately paving the way for further progress.
We should congratulate Sunita Williams for running the first marathon in space. We should admire Padma Lakshmi for her successful career in acting, modeling, and writing. We should respect Indra Nooyi for her achievements as CEO of PepsiCo. South Asian Women are leaders and role models in the United States and abroad, and I applaud them for being unapologetically themselves. As Kamala Harris said, we are who we are and we're fine with it. Are you?

Reclaiming communities after the Brexit vote
Iro Konstantinou 20 Jul 2016
In the aftermath of the Brexit vote, the divide between the south and the north, the disarray in government, and the uncertainty of what will happen in the future need to be considered from a sociological perspective and the focus should not be only on the economic repercussions of the vote. As part of my PhD research I have conducted an ethnographic project in a private school in inner London. This has involved great immersion in the school context and the need to understand the social and economic background of these pupils and how they impact on their every day decisions.
One of the main discourses that both staff and pupils in the school promoted has been one of tolerance, inclusivity, and being adaptive in a changing global world. A caveat in this would be the fact that almost the entirety of the school consists of white, middle class pupils. Despite the internationalisation of the school (in the form of rich German, Spanish or Russian students) there is very little that needs to be tolerated. Almost all share the same power position given to them by the fact that they are white and affluent. The area where most of them live reinforces the same power hierarchies. Estates exist but they are not part of the immediate surroundings of the school, the children who live there do not go to the same school, and the diversity that would be seen in a state school, within walking distance, does not preoccupy the everyday experiences of the pupils. It is what Wacquant (2015) would describe as the social underbelly, invisible in the eyes of the privileged.
By focusing on the neoliberal individualism which selective schools promote they forget that co-existing in a place does not presuppose meaningful interactions
London is a very diverse city, which embraces those from different ethnic and social backgrounds. The middle classes prefer it for this vibrancy, hence, the abandonment of the leafy suburbs. However, if there is one thing that the Brexit vote showed us was how those living in these 'bubble' areas, in rich communities of London, have very little awareness of the struggles the vast majorities of the population have to face. By focusing on the neoliberal individualism which selective schools promote they forget that co-existing in a place does not presuppose meaningful interactions. Be being preoccupied with the practices which are considered the norm among certain groups, we see little outside that. Therefore, when striving (with different forms of capital) to ensure one's prosperity, it is easy to overlook that in theory, inclusivity and tolerance are feasible enough. But in reality, everyday struggles bring people to breaking points when it comes to being tolerant (not in the way that Farage suggested).
Those shocked by the Leave vote should ask themselves where their strong Remain sentiments came from. Were they because they feel strong solidarity with those EU nationals and they need to ensure that they carry on having their vibrant and different cultures among theirs? Or is it because this will help them carry on prospering in their practices? The EU is flawed on many levels, as a neoliberal project it puts profit before humans, but it does entail an internationalism, which helps those affluent enough to translate it into 'global' capital. However, we cannot argue that when it comes to job opportunities and economic prosperity, those middle class liberals are worried about the future of the labour force from the EU. What lacked in their decision to Remain was that very communication and solidarity which only usually exists when people share the same struggles.
The class divide which was so prominently showcased throughout the Brexit discussions showed that those who are liberal and affluent need to reengage with the idea of community and solidarity, not only when it comes to pursuing shared interests but also when it comes to fighting for communal struggles.
As part of my study I attended a debate on Brexit initiated by pupils. Although most pupils in the school would classify themselves as liberals, when the debate seemed to suggest that their economic capital would be jeopardised, they voted to Leave with an overwhelming majority.

or one of the pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof is described. Also described, are uses thereof in the treatment of rosacea.
 The present invention relates to the use of a compound of formula (I) in the treatment of rosacea.
 Rosacea is a chronic and progressive common inflammatory dermatosis associated with vascular relaxation. It mainly affects the central part of the face and is characterized by reddening of the face or hot flushes, facial erythema, papules, pustules, telangiectasia and occasionally ocular lesions known as ocular rosacea. In serious cases, especially in men, the soft tissue of the nose may swell and produce a bulbous swelling known as rhinophyma. Rosacea develops over several years via episodes that are worsened by various stimuli such as temperature variations, alcohol, spices, exposure to sunlight, or emotions.
 Rosacea is classified into four subtypes as a function of various clinical features (Wilkin, J. et al., JAAD, 2002, 46: 584-587).
 The primary features (vasomotor flushing, persistent erythema, papules and pustules, and telangiectasia) and secondary features (burning or stinging sensation, plaques, oedema, ocular manifestations, phymatous changes) of rosacea are often observed in combination. The most common modes of exteriorization or combinations of signs are temporarily regrouped into specific subtypes, which are described below. Each category comprises the minimum number of signs that are sufficient to make a diagnosis of the corresponding subtype (although the modes of exteriorization are not necessarily limited to these signs), and it is possible that patients simultaneously present features suggesting more than one subtype of rosacea.
 Erythematotelangiectatic rosacea is mainly characterized by vasomotor flushing and persistent central facial erythema. The presence of telangiectasias is common, but not essential for the diagnosis of this subtype. A central facial oedema, burning and stinging sensations, and roughness or desquamation are also occasionally observed.
 A history of vasomotor flushing alone is common among patients suffering from erythematotelangiectatic rosacea.
 Papulopustular rosacea is characterized by persistent central facial erythema and by transient papules and/or pustules distributed in the centre of the face. However, the papules and pustules may also affect the peri-orificial regions (i.e. the perioral, perinasal or periocular areas). The papulopustular subtype resembles acne vulgaris, except that comedones are absent. Rosacea and acne may coexist, and, besides the papules and pustules resembling rosacea, the patients concerned will also possibly have comedones. Patients suffering from papulopustular rosacea occasionally complain of burning and stinging sensations.
 This subtype is often observed before or at the same time as subtype 1 (including the presence of telangiectasias). The telangiectasias risk being masked by the persistent erythema and the papules or pustules, and they have a tendency to become more visible after successful treatment of these masking components.
 Phymatous rosacea is manifested by thickening of the skin, irregular surface nodules and tumefaction. Rhinophyma is the most common presentation, but phymatous rosacea may affect other locations, including the chin, forehead, cheeks and ears. Among the patients suffering from this subtype, the presence of enlarged and prominent follicular openings is occasionally reported in the affected region, as are telangiectasias.
 This subtype is often observed before or at the same time as subtype 1 or 2 (including the presence of persistent erythema, telangiectasias, papules and pustules). In the case of rhinophyma, these additional stigmata risk being particularly pronounced in the nasal region.
 The diagnosis of ocular rosacea must be envisaged when a patient has one or more of the following ocular signs and symptoms: teary or bloodshot appearance (interpalpebral conjunctival hyperaemia), sensation of presence of a foreign body, of burning or stinging, dryness, itching, photosensitivity, blurred vision, telangiectasias of the conjunctiva and of the eyelid margin, or erythema of the eyelid and periocular erythema. Blepharitis, conjunctivitis and irregularity of the eyelid margins are other signs that may be detected. A chalazion or a chronic staphylococcal infection manifested by a stye and whose cause is a meibomian gland dysfunction is a common sign of rosacea-related ocular disease. Some patients complain of a reduction in visual acuity, which is due to corneal complications (punctate keratitis, corneal infiltrates/corneal ulcers or marginal keratitis). By itself, the treatment of cutaneous rosacea may be without effect on the risk of lowering the visual acuity associated with ocular rosacea, and an ophthalmological approach will possibly be required.
 The diagnosis of ocular rosacea is most often made when cutaneous signs and symptoms are also detected. However, it is not necessary for cutaneous signs and symptoms to be present in order to make the diagnosis, and small-scale studies suggest that up to 20% of patients suffering from ocular rosacea may develop ocular signs and symptoms before cutaneous manifestations appear. Cutaneous lesions are the first to appear in about half of these patients, and manifestations of the two types occur simultaneously in a minority of them.
 Rosacea generally occurs between the ages of 25 and 70, and is much more common in people with a fair complexion. It more particularly affects women, although this complaint is generally more severe in men.
 Conventionally, rosacea is treated orally or topically. The three agents approved by the FDA for the topical treatment of rosacea are metronidazole, azelaic acid and sodium sulphacetamide-sulphur. There is only one oral treatment approved by the FDA for rosacea, Oracea, a controlled-release formulation based on doxycycline monohydrate (Nally, J. B. & Berson, D. S., J. Drug Dermatol., 2006, 5: 23-26; Baldwin, H. E., J. Drug Dermatol., 2006, 5: 16-21; Baldwin, H. E., Skin Therapy Letter, 2007, 12: 1-9).
 However, the therapies available are merely suppressive and not curative. In addition, rosacea is sometimes resistant to treatment. It remains a chronic pathology with a typical profile of remission and exacerbation, associated with a significant psychosocial impact.
 The pathogenesis of rosacea is poorly understood, and may involve several factors. These are, for example, vascular factors (abnormal vascular reactivity), immune factors, or alternatively exogenous factors such as the presence of follicular microorganisms such as bacteria and Demodex folliculorum mites (Diamantis, S. & Waldorf, H. A., J. Drug Dermatol., 2006, 5: 8-12; Wilkin, J. K., Arch. Dermatol., 1994, 130: 359-362; Buechner, S. A., Dermatology, 2005, 210: 100-108).
 Furthermore, research, in particular clinical research, tends to suggest that rosacea is an inflammatory pathology.
 An over-regulation of proinflammatory cytokines and matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) contributes to a chronic vasodilatation and to a continuous degradation of the dermal matrix. Many studies describe increased expression and activity of MMPs, such as MMP-8 and MMP-9, in patients suffering from rosacea (Bonamigo et al., J. Eur. Acad. Dermatol. Venerol., 2005, 19: 646-647; Määttä, M. et al., Graefes Arch. Clin. Exp. Ophthalmol., 2006, 244: 957-962; Sobrin, L. et al., Invest. Ophthalmol. Vis. Sci., 2000, 41: 1703-1709; Afonso, A. A. et al., Invest. Ophthalmol. Vis. Sci., 1999, 40: 2506-2512).
 A reduction in the expression and/or activity of certain MMPs has been associated with a therapeutic benefit in the case of rosacea.
 Tetracycline derivatives, which include doxycycline, possess not only an antibiotic activity, but also anti-inflammatory properties. These anti-inflammatory effects due to doxycycline include a reduction in the production of proinflammatory cytokines, an inhibition of the expression of the NO synthase enzyme, and a reduction in the expression and/or the activity of certain MMPs, such as MMP-1, MMP-2, MMP-8, MMP-9, MMP-12 and MMP-13 (Del Rosso, J. Q. et al., JAAD, 2007, 56: 791-802; Webster, G. et al., Dermatol. Clin., 2007, 25: 133-135; Weinberg, J. M., Cutis, 2005, 75 (suppl. 4): 6-11; Golub, L. M. et al., Adv. Dent. Res., 1998; 12:12-26).
 However, long-term oral treatments with tetracycline derivatives could be problematic for many reasons, in particular on account of their significant side effects. The oral administration of tetracyclines may induce disorders such as Candidal vulvovaginitis, gastrointestinal disorders, and even idiopathic intracranial hypertension (or pseudotumor cerebri) (Del Rosso, J. Q., Cutis, 2000, 66 (suppl. 4): 7-13; Bikowski, J. B., Cutis, 2000, 66 (suppl. 4): 3-6; Rebora, A., Am. J. Clin. Dermatol., 2002, 3: 489-496).
 The current treatments that are available have unpleasant side effects for the patient. Furthermore, none of the existing treatments makes it possible to effectively treat and/or prevent all of the symptoms associated with rosacea. Considering the chronic nature of rosacea, an ideal treatment requires use that may be prolonged, in a safe and effective manner.
 One of the advantages of topical therapy is the direct application to the skin, which avoids systemic side effects.
 The objective of the present invention is, in particular, to propose an effective treatment of rosacea, which limits the effects. Preferably, this treatment is carried out topically, which avoids any systemic side effect.
for the use thereof in the treatment of rosacea.
 Preferably, the compound of formula (I) or salts thereof is (are) used in the treatment of at least one subtype of rosacea chosen from erythematotelangiectatic rosacea, papulopustular rosacea, phymatous rosacea and ocular rosacea.
 Another subject of the present invention is the use of at least one compound of formula (I) for preparing a medicament for treating rosacea.
 The compounds of formula (I) according to the invention may be used as they are, or else in the form of pharmaceutically acceptable salts.
 The expression "pharmaceutically acceptable salt" is especially understood to mean a salt with a pharmaceutically acceptable inorganic acid, such as hydrochloric, sulphuric, phosphoric, nitric, carbonic, boric, sulphamic and hydrobromic acids; or else a salt with a pharmaceutically acceptable organic acid, such as acetic, propionic, butyric, tartaric, maleic, hydroxymaleic, fumaric, citric, lactic, mucic, gluconic, benzoic, succinic, oxalic, phenylacetic, methanesulphonic, toluenesulphonic, benzenesulphonic, salicylic, sulphanilic, aspartic, glutamic, edetic, stearic, palmitic, oleic, lauric, panthotenic, tannic, ascorbic and valeric acids.
 The term "treatment" of or "treating" rosacea means reducing and/or inhibiting the development of rosacea and/or of the symptoms thereof.
 The expression "linear or branched alkyl radical having from 1 to 6 carbon atoms" is especially understood to mean a methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, isopropyl, n-butyl, isobutyl, n-pentyl, isopentyl or n-hexyl radical.
 Preferably, the radicals R1, R2, R3, R′1, R′2 and R′3 of the compounds of formula (I) each independently represent a hydrogen atom or a methyl, ethyl, propyl, isopropyl, n-propyl, butyl, isobutyl or n-butyl radical.
 Preferably, at least one of the radicals R1, R2 and R3, and at least one of the radicals R′1, R′2 and R′3, each represent a methyl radical.
 More preferably, the compound of formula (I) is chosen from 6,6′-dimethyl-2,2′-dipyridyl, 5,5′-dimethyl-2,2′-dipyridyl, 4,4′-dimethyl-2,2′-dipyridyl and the pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof.
 Therefore, one subject of the present invention is preferably the use of at least one compound chosen from 6,6′-dimethyl-2,2′-dipyridyl, 5,5′-dimethyl-2,2′-dipyridyl, 4,4′-dimethyl-2,2′-dipyridyl and the pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof for preparing a medicament for treating rosacea. 6,6′-Dimethyl-2,2′-dipyridyl, 5,5′-dimethyl-2,2′-dipyridyl, 4,4′-dimethyl-2,2′-dipyridyl and the pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof may be used for the treatment of rosacea.
 The compound of formula (I), preferably chosen from 6,6′-dimethyl-2,2′-dipyridyl, 5,5′-dimethyl-2,2′-dipyridyl, 4,4′-dimethyl-2,2′-dipyridyl and the pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof may thus be formulated in medicaments, referred to equally as "pharmaceutical compositions" subsequently, for human use. Said compositions comprise, in a pharmaceutically acceptable medium, at least one compound of formula (I).
 The expression "pharmaceutically acceptable medium" means a medium that is compatible with the skin, the mucous membranes and the integuments.
 The pharmaceutical composition that can be used according to the invention is administered topically.
 Preferably, the compound of formula (I), preferably chosen from 6,6′-dimethyl-2,2′-dipyridyl, 5,5′-dimethyl-2,2′-dipyridyl, 4,4′-dimethyl-2,2′-dipyridyl and the pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, is present in a pharmaceutical composition for topical application.
 The expression "topical application" means an application to the skin, the mucous membranes and/or the integuments.
 The pharmaceutical composition according to the invention comprises from 0.001% to 10% by weight of compound(s) of formula (I) or salts thereof relative to the total weight of the composition. Preferably, the pharmaceutical composition according to the invention contains from 0.1% to 5% by weight of compound(s) of formula (I) or salts thereof relative to the total weight of the composition.
 The topical pharmaceutical composition may be in liquid, pasty or solid form, and more particularly in the form of an ointment, a cream, a milk, an unguent, a powder, an impregnated pad, a syndet, a wipe, a solution, a gel, a spray, a foam, a suspension, a lotion, a stick, a shampoo or a cleansing base. It may also be in the form of a suspension of microspheres or nanospheres or lipid or polymer vesicles or a polymer patch and a hydrogel allowing controlled release. This pharmaceutical composition for topical application may be in anhydrous form, in aqueous form or in the form of an emulsion.
 When the pharmaceutical composition according to the invention is in the form of an emulsion, it comprises at least one surfactant. An emulsion comprises a mixture of two immiscible liquids, one of which is dispersed in the other in the form of fine droplets (micelles); the dispersion is stabilized owing to the action of surfactants that modify the structure and the ratio of forces at the interface, and therefore increase the stability of the dispersion by decreasing the interfacial tension energy.
 Surfactants are amphiphilic compounds which possess a hydrophobic portion that has an affinity for oil and a hydrophilic portion that has an affinity for water, thus creating a link between the two phases.
 Surfactants thus stabilize oil/water emulsions by becoming adsorbed at the interface and by forming lamellar layers of liquid crystals. The surfactant may be ionic (anionic, cationic or amphoteric), or nonionic.
 Among the surfactants that can be used according to the invention, examples that may be mentioned include: glyceryl/PEG100 stearate sold under the name Arlacel 165FL by the company Uniqema or under the name Simulsol 165 by the company SEPPIC, polyoxyethylenated fatty acid esters such as Arlatone 983 from the company Uniqema or the polyoxyethylenated stearyl alcohol (2) sold under the name Brij72 combined with the polyoxyethylenated stearyl alcohol (21) sold under the name Brij721 by the company Uniqema, sorbitan esters such as sorbitan oleate sold under the name Arlacel 80 by the company ICI or sold under the name Crill 4 by the company Croda, sorbitan sesquioleate sold under the name Arlacel 83 by the company ICI or sold under the name Montane 83 by the company SEPPIC, or else sorbitan isostearate; or else ethers of fatty alcohols.

 The results of the activity, on MMPs, of the compounds (I) and salts thereof will now be given by way of illustration and without being in any way limiting in nature.
 The activity of MMPs of MMP-1, MMP-2, MMP-9, MMP-12, MMP-13 and TACE was measured using human recombinant proteins. The activity of MMP-8 was measured in human neutrophiles. After incubation with the corresponding substrate, the reaction product of each MMP was detected by fluorometry. The results are expressed as specific control activity percentages ((specific activity measured/specific control activity)×100) obtained in the presence of the compounds tested.
 The results of this study indicate that 4,4′-dimethyl-2,2′-dipyridyl, 5,5′-dimethyl-2,2′-dipyridyl and 6,6′-dimethyl-2,2′-dipyridyl were able to inhibit the activity of the MMPs. The compounds tested particularly inhibit MMP-8 and MMP-9, matrix metalloproteinases known for being upregulated in patients suffering from rosacea. These compounds were less active on certain other MMPs, such as MMP-1, MMP-2, MMP-12, MMP-14 and MMP-13. These MMPs, the inhibition of which by tetracycline derivatives, such as doxycycline, has been demonstrated, tetracyclines being known for being effective in the treatment of rosacea. Moreover, the compounds had no activity on TACE (TNF-alpha converting enzyme), the matrix metalloproteinase not being known for being involved in rosacea.

Changes in the Levels of Abscisic Acid and Its Metabolites in Excised Leaf Blades of Xanthium strumarium during and after Water Stress
Jan A. D. Zeevaart
Published October 1980. DOI: https://doi.org/10.1104/pp.66.4.672
The time course of abscisic acid (ABA) accumulation during water stress and of degradation following rehydration was investigated by analyzing the levels of ABA and its metabolites phaseic acid (PA) and alkalihydrolyzable conjugated ABA in excised leaf blades of Xanthium strumarium. Initial purification was by reverse-phase, preparative, high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) which did not require prior partitioning. ABA and PA were purified further by analytical HPLC with a μBondapak-NH2 column, and quantified by GLC with an electron capture detector.
The ABA content of stressed leaves increased for 4 to 5 hours and then leveled off due to a balance between synthesis and degradation. Since PA accumulated at a constant rate throughout the wilting period, it was concluded that the rate of ABA synthesis decreased after the first 4 to 5 hours stress. Conjugated ABA increased at a low rate during stress. This is interpreted to indicate that free ABA was converted to the conjugated form, rather than the reverse.
Following rehydration of wilted leaves, the ABA level immediately ceased increasing; it remained constant for 1 hour and then declined rapidly to the prestress level over a 2- to 3-hour period with a concomitant rise in the PA level. In contrast to the rapid disappearance of ABA after relief of stress, the high PA content of rehydrated leaves declined only slowly. The level of conjugated ABA did not change following rehydration, indicating that conjugation of ABA was irreversible.
Detached Xanthium leaves that were subjected to a wilting-recovery-rewilting cycle in darkness, responded to the second wilting period by formation of the same amount of ABA as accumulated after the first stress period.

View our latest air fryer recipes created by Gareth Horn a vastly experienced chef that has worked throughout the UK, Europe and the USA. During that time he earned 3 AA Rosettes and worked at Michelin level. There are a vast amount of options available to you when you've invested in an air fryer. From healthier churros to tasty Beef Wellington, the options are endless.
Croque Madame Air Fryer RecipeBy James FureyA croque madame is a more indulgent take on the classic croque monsieur toasted sandwich. It's kind of like a breakfast muffin made with slices of bread moulded into a muffin shape before being filled with a variety of fillings. Here, we're using a breakfast/brunch filling of ham, cheese and spinach. They can be prepared in advance and cooked when needed, making them an ideal breakfast standby or dinner party appetizer.
Chocolate Soufflé Air Fryer RecipeBy James FureyThe mere mention of the word 'soufflé' sees many a cook shudder in terror. Impossibly light, frustratingly fragile, and notoriously difficult to perfect the soufflé is often seen as the pinnacle of culinary achievement. But here's the true secret: it's not actually that difficult. And here's another secret: you can achieve a perfect soufflé using an air fryer. This recipe is for a classic chocolate souffle - or rather two of them, as you can comfortably fit two ramekin dishes in the pan of an air fryer. Topped with vanilla ice-cream or a dark chocolate sorbet, these soufflés are guaranteed to bring the wow factor to your dining room table.
Kale, Parsnip and Jerusalem Artichoke (Sunchoke) ChipsBy James FureyThese vegetable chips are a great alternative to deep-fried potato chips. Not only do they taste delicious but they use a fraction of the oil needed to cook regular potato chips, and they're a great way to use up vegetable scraps that you'd normally throw away. So when you next use parsnips, sunchokes or any other root vegetable, don't throw away the peelings - make chips out of them. They take no time to cook and can be flavoured with pretty much anything you have in your spice cupboard; let your imagination run wild. But make plenty, they won't last long!
Churros Air Fryer RecipeBy James FureyChurros, the classic Spanish snack of deep-fried dough dipped in a chocolate sauce, are traditionally made by forming long, textured fingers of dough before frying them in hot oil until golden and crisp. But did you know they can also be made in an air fryer? By shaping the churros to fit the air fryer pan these churros can be produced using a fraction of the oil normally required, whilst still turning out deliciously crisp, light and golden.
Salt-baked Celeriac Air Fryer RecipeBy James FureySalt-baking is a great way to cook both vegetables and meats whilst retaining their moisture. A simple paste of egg whites, salt and flour is wrapped around the food before baking it slowly at a moderate temperature - once cooked, the food is moist, tender and beautifully seasoned. Here, a whole celeriac (celery root) is baked along with a little fresh thyme and plenty of black pepper to create a hearty centrepiece of a dish, perfect alongside roasted game or simply served alone with a drizzle of truffle oil.
Beef Wellington Air Fryer RecipeBy James FureyBeef Wellington is an impressive dish of tender beef fillet wrapped in puff pastry. The fillet is usually coated in a chicken or calves liver pâté, or a mushroom duxelle, before being wrapped in pastry which can often lead to the pastry becoming soggy during cooking. This is where the air fryer comes into its own. Because of the way the air fryer works - passing super-heated air over and around the Wellington, crisping the pastry as would a fat fryer - the resulting Wellington becomes crisped all over without the 'dead spot' that can occur in a regular oven. So no more soggy bottom! Just a wonderfully crisp, golden pastry enveloping medium rare steak. Mushroom duxelle is simply finely chopped mushrooms cooked down in a little oil with garlic and thyme. Once cooked, it should be placed in a towel and squeezed to drain any excess liquid. If using a pâté, any good quality shop-bought pâté can be used - or feel free to make your own.
Whole Spiced Spatchcock Chicken Air Fryer RecipeBy James FureySpatchcocking a bird involves removing the backbone before flattening out the breasts and legs. It's an old way to speed-up the cooking time of poultry and game as it allows the heat to pass more evenly around the bird, ensuring that the legs cook as quickly as the breasts… it also means that it's the perfect technique for air-frying. Here, a 4 lb chicken is spatchcocked and a spice rub is applied before being roast in the air-fryer; this size of chicken should be suitable for most air-fryers, but if you have a larger fryer then you can, of course, cook a larger bird. The result is wonderfully moist chicken with a crisp, spicy skin.
Caramelised Roast Peaches with Cinnamon Air Fryer RecipeBy James FureyIf peaches and cinnamon are a match made in heaven, caramelised peaches are one step above that. Served with a simple scoop of vanilla ice-cream, these warmly spiced roast caramelised peaches will soon become your favourite standby dessert. They're quick, easy and utterly delicious.
Baklava Air Fryer RecipeBy James FureyBaklava is an eastern Mediterranean classic - chopped nuts layered between sheets of crisp filo, then drenched in aromatic sugar syrup. If it sounds indulgent, that's because it is. But paired with a strong coffee is makes the perfect midday pick-me-up, and best of all, it's also extremely simple to prepare. All you need is a heatproof dish that's large enough to fit in your air-fryer, and off you go!


Ticketed for Driving Without Insurance?
Given the high cost of car insurance, some drivers may choose to go without it and accept the consequences if caught by law enforcement. Unfortunately, driving without insurance is a serious offense and the penalties can be much worse than paying for insurance in the first place. If you received a ticket for driving without insurance, it is imperative that you retain a traffic attorney.
Fighting the system on your own is difficult and you may be unable to achieve the outcome you need. Attorney Daniel Schulefand has represented Miami residents for nearly 20 years in large and small traffic cases alike. He is capable of gathering evidence and challenging your ticket.
Fill out a free case evaluation form to find out how we may be able to assist you.
It is a legal requirement for all drivers in Florida to carry insurance. Minimum coverage is $10,000 for property damage liability (PDL) and $10,000 for personal injury protection (PIP). If you drive without it, penalties will be based on whether this is your first offense or if you have others on your record.
Not only will you be burdened with an inability to drive, but you are also responsible for paying hefty fines when your driving privileges return. Just "accepting the consequences" can be disastrous and should be avoided at all costs. The best way to do this is by consulting with our experienced legal team.
We will take the time to understand the details of your case before offering a solution. From start to finish, our Miami traffic lawyer is on your side. Call us today to get started.
