IT MAY be winter but at the animal sanctuary the behaviour of some of the inhabitants is such that you would think spring had arrived.
With the present economic climate the volume of needy animals is greater than ever and these days the animal sanctuary is always full catteries, stables, animal houses, pig arks all have double or even triple or quadruple occupancy where possible when the animals get on with each other.
The great advantage of working with animals in this sanctuary is that we get a chance to observe animal behaviour at close proximity and some very real friendships are formed. Nutmeg, the half blind pony, and Misty are firm friends and all the donkeys are inseparable. Newly arrived Buddy, the diabetic Shetland, has fallen head over heels in love with Jill the black Shetland with deformed legs, the sheep and goats are always together and we try to rehome the cats with their particular friends so they dont pine for each other.
Once we found two lovely different homes for two feline friends and one started to self- mutilate so badly we had to get him back to his other cattery companions. Fortunately he settled down again and his fur grew back. As for Acorn and Hazel, our two elderly pig, they so loved each other that when he died she sobbed real tears, lay across his body, refused to move, declined all food and died herself, inconsolable, five days later.
With our three latest rescued pigs spring has definitely arrived and one of the two micropig sows has just given birth to nine micropiglets! All are absolutely minute and gorgeous but quite unexpected. A sow pregnancy lasts four months so she would have got pregnant long before she came to us. The boar is castrated but the worry is the other sow may be pregnant too. Help!
In the meantime a recently rescued cat is also expecting and her friend may be too, as neither is spayed. Besides that we have taken in two rams and eight sheep who are likely to give birth in January. Needless to say, most of these new arrivals are up for rehoming and can be found on the rehoming page of our website. This includes the adorable micropigs. We are always reluctant to part with our animals as we do get attached to them, but we have to make vacancies in order to take in other animals in need. We are having to make all kinds of alterations to the sheds to keep the baby animals well through the winter and protected them from foxes and badgers. We very much need stone slabs and rubber matting for the floors of the animal houses and any adoptions, sponsorship or donations helping towards the cost of these animals will be most gratefully received.
Rehoming is by appointment only, seven days a week.

J.C. Philpot - Ears From Harvested Sheaves, or, Daily Portions - Devotional for December 2.
It is as though the Lord would here by the pen of his prophet turn our eyes to our native origin. And what is that? The same quarry out of which the other stones come. If you and I, by God's grace, are "living stones," we come out of the same quarry with the dead, unbelieving, unregenerate world; there is no difference in that respect. Nay, we are perhaps sunk lower in the quarry than some of those in whom God never has and never will put his grace. It is not the upper stratum, what is called "the capstone," of the quarry, which is to be taken to be hewn into a pillar; they go down deep into the pit to get at the marble which is to be chiselled into the ornamental column. So with God's saints. They do not lie at the top of the quarry; but the Lord has to go down very low, that he may bring up these stones out of the depths of the fall, and lift them, as it were, out of deeper degradation than those which lie nearer the surface. I remember reading once an expression which a Portland quarryman used when he was asked a question with respect to the hard labour of getting out the stone. He said, "It is enough to heave our hearts out." The stone lay so deep, and required such severe bodily exertion, that the labourer was forced to throw not only all his weight, sinews, and muscles into the work, but his very heart also. So it is with the elect of God. They are sunk so low, in such awful depths of degradation, at such an infinite distance from God, so hidden and buried from everything good and godlike, that, so to speak, it required all the strength and power of Jehovah to lift them out of the pit. In raising them out of the quarry of nature, he spent, as it were, upon them all his heart; for wherein was the heart of God so manifested as in the incarnation of his only-begotten Son, and in the work, righteousness, sufferings, blood, and death of the Lord Jesus Christ?

Conflict resolution by an informal third party
Conflict is a phenomenon that is intrinsic in every community. However, civilized societies can resolve disputes with ease and fewer obstacles. Conflict manifest in many ways and varying degrees, and the primary causes of conflicts include the differences in personality values, styles, expectations or goals. When conflicts get to critical stages, a third party is involved in helping resolve the issue. In an organizational context, with conflicting employees, the management becomes that third party that identifies and resolves existing issues, If conflicts are left unsolved, then the quality of work is affected, results to communication ineffectiveness, lawsuits and resignations of the employees. Thus, conflict arises from incompatibilities in an organization or a society and can pose significant challenges and losses to the community. In cases of communal or organizational conflict, an open conflict resolver is in most cases preferred before resulting to formal means of resolution (Kolb and Bartunek, 1992). This paper focuses on the role of an informal third party in resolving the conflict.
Some few years back, i worked in a small school dominated by a specific tribe. During that time there was significant conflict between employees that had formed two groups, with each group having particular claims. The dispute arose after one group felt that some staffs from a specific ethnicity received job promotions and worked fewer hours compared to others. The employees' conflict had progressed, and none of the groups showed interest in solving the issue. One group was concerned that it would become the minority in the organization. The conflict here is that one party felt that a certain group of individuals was considered more in the school leadership in terms of promotion, payment and inclusiveness in decision making than others. The unequal treatment attracted poor productivity, resentment towards specific individuals and resignations. In analyzing this issue, an informal third party method was involved in solving the varying perspectives that changed the staffs' behaviors without physical force or invoking the rule of law (Bercovitch and Rubin, 1992).
Resolution Method
The third party ( board of directors) followed a structured process aimed at bringing the disputants closer to each other and helped them realize their interests and develop alternatives, that would develop solutions acceptable to both parties. The third party first met with the parties individually to determine each party interest, but not as a representative of any party. The third party, therefore, focused on establishing peace and communication between the two parties, where they would air their concerns and generate reasonable and adaptable solutions. Thus, the third party engages the parties in a reconciliation dialogue to evoke a neutral, impartial, objective and rational solution to the problem identified. More so, the mediator would apply their influence during negotiations to persuade the disputants in yielding a firm stand and focus towards an agreement. The role played was a transformation of the dynamics of the conflicts through introducing new and relevant information, especially regarding the problem-solving process between the conflicting parties, through revealing interests common between the parties and suggesting possible solutions.
Analysis: effect of the third party
Involvement of the third party yielded positive results. The conflicts had rendered one party as unproductive, inability to achieve the organization goals and some contemplated resigning. The ability of the mediator to provide recommendations, opinions and suggestions enhanced agreement between the disputants. The third party addressed disputants' sources of conflicts, emotions, and relationships which reduced the tension between the parties. The conflicting parties through the third party suggestions developed mutual perceptions regarding the issue which controlled the hostility between them. The ability of the facilitator to focus on the parties' emotions and relationships enabled the parties to increase productivity and enhance their relationship which reduced the resentment. Addressing the hostility between the two parties with fairness and consideration of their emotions helped the parties to work towards the organization goals other than focusing on their interests. Thus, the process yielded greater involvement in the organization, better relationships between the school workers, and an enhanced public image for the institution and the employees.
The conflicting parties had different perceptions on each other and did not settle on a single solution suggested by the institution management. They also involved a few other petty issues that were emanating from the central conflict. The minority group felt that the negotiations were not enough to solve the differences while the other party was open to any intervention provided to settle the disputes. However, the third party was able to convince the parties to engage in a negotiation to resolve the conflicts before contemplating formal techniques. The group that felt oppressed felt that process would be biased but finally gave in to the negotiations plan with the condition that they would proceed with formal interventions if the process involved biasness and failed to consider equality in decision making.
The third party preferred mediation approach in resolving the conflicts in the institution. Mediation is a conflict management approach where conflicting parties accept an offer from an organization, an individual or a party to influence their behavior, without engaging in physical force or invoking the rule of law. The approach provided an opportunity for the conflicting individuals to negotiate to resolve the misunderstandings and reach a desirable decision for both parties. The method is, therefore, an intervention that facilitates negotiations settlement that is mutually acceptable on the different issues. Through this approach, the third part aimed at establishing peaceful management to ensure institution progress and maintaining the reputation of each and the organization. Thus, the third party initiated the mediation process, where the disputants their consent to participate in the negotiations. When the parties were prepared and agreed on the negotiation, the mediator introduced the parties and demonstrated neutrality and credibility as an assurance of the respect and acceptability of the parties. The third party had to reveal their ability to sustain the interest of the disputants. Parties proceeded to raise their issues, and then engaged in a discussion, to clarification and evaluation of each party position and finally a selection of the most appropriate solution and reaching an agreement acceptable to both parties.
Conflicts in an organization are inevitable and can reduce the reputation of an institution and its productivity. Most of the issues can be solved through informal third parties, which are valuable tools that help an organization solve complex problems faced by the staffs. Third party mediation as illustrated facilitates better relationships among employees in an organization, better public image for an organization and improved problem-solving skills which enhances productivity and teamwork. Informal Third party brings in mutual gains in the negotiation table.

If anybody have an idea where I could look, it would be great.
Thanks you
Nad

A: 1. You have no form / trigger events in your code.
2. You don't have the correct GUI objects in your code to hold a list /
    record result.
A form is just a container to hold elements until you add the code behind to make it do something. You have to have a proper GUI object to send that result to.
I am not sure if you are doing this all by hand in the ISE or VSCode or Notepad or whatever, but this is a good first effort. However, what you show, seems to indicate you are not really up to speed on GUI development / general app dev work, as what you are doing is not really unique to PowerShell, but something required for any app development client or web.
So, really, spend some time studying / reviewing general WPF/Winforms development and that form event stuff will be covered.
As for your use case, you need:

*

*Define the list GUI object (multiline, ListBox, ListView, datagrid) to hold the results (synch'ing combox boxes mean adding and removing elements on event actions)

*Define what that list is (text files, db read etc)

*On the click, change or other form event, read from that list and populate
the GUI list object

There are many examples of this on this site and all over the web.
Here a good video on GUI development with PowerShell:
powershell populate combobox basing on the selected item on another combobox
From the above discussion (not something to just add to your code without understanding the what's and the why's):
Use a ComboBox.SelectionChangeCommitted Event:

"Occurs when the user changes the selected item and that change is displayed in the ComboBox"
$combobox2_SelectionChangeCommitted={

  $Mailboxes = Get-Mailbox -OrganizationalUnit $ClientSelected
  foreach ($mailbox in $Mailboxes)
  {
      $CurrentMailbox = "{0} ({1})" -f $mailbox.Name, $mailbox.Alias
      Load-ComboBox $combobox2 $CurrentMailbox -Append
  }

}

Use a button:
$button1_Click={

$Mailboxes = Get-Mailbox -OrganizationalUnit $ClientSelected
  foreach ($mailbox in $Mailboxes)
  {
      $CurrentMailbox = "{0} ({1})" -f $mailbox.Name, $mailbox.Alias
      Load-ComboBox $combobox2 $CurrentMailbox -Append
  }
}

Lastly, using this …
Write-Host "ComboBox = " $liste1.DisplayMember
Write-Host "ComboBox = " $liste2.selectedvalue

… is not something one would do, because the console is not opened to see these results and Write-Host should be avoided except for when using console only text colorizations of other console only formatting scenarios, it also empties the display buffer, so it cannot be sent to anything else. Also, you don't have a GUI object called 'ComboBox' anywhere on the form, so it's not serving any purpose for your use case.

A: After some times and research, I managed to find what I needed exactly.
This might help people who stumble upon the post so here a small part of what I found
function Service()
{if ($ListBox1.SelectedItem -eq 'Enable Services')
{
$form.Controls.Add($Label3)
$form.Controls.add($ListBox2)
$form.Controls.Add($Label4)
$form.Controls.Add($textBox)
$form.Controls.Add($Button2)
$form.Controls.Add($Button3)
}

I create firstly a Function with a name, in which will countain the condition of what I'd like to happen when a choice is made in my listbox "ComboBox"
$button1.add_Click({ Service })

Then I call that function from a button I Added, in which other Boxes will appear upon click on that button.
It is not very different from @Postanote's answer but that was the solution I'm more at ease with.

You've probably heard how using and setting "SMART" can be effective. That means goals that are specific, measurable, achievable, realistic and timely. Those work fine, but another key to achieving your fitness aims is to incorporate affirmations that work for you.
Handbook affirmations are "powerful and short words meant to improve and affect your subconscious reactions to attract more success in various areas of your life" according to the Little Black Dress (LBD) Project. "Creating affirmations helps to bring you into a more positive state of mind. It allows us to be kinder to ourselves, our bodies and our habits," Lynndell Popoff, a personal trainer, said.
I choose to honor my beauty, my body and my strength today.
I'm completely in control of my life including what I do, what I eat and how I feel.
The power to realize any goal I set my mind to is already within me.
I'm not afraid of failing and I'm drawn and committed to success like a magnet.
I'm a confident, strong and unstoppable person.
Popoff reminded us how much words can influence our minds, bodies and fitness performance in general. Commit yourself to 3-5 affirmations before embarking on your fitness journey and keep them up to date throughout the process.
"The affirmations you choose on week 1 of any program is going to be different than during weeks 3 or 6," noted Wasyliw.
A powerful means of structuring our thoughts and transforming our visions into tangible results is by using strong positive affirmations.
A positive affirmation entails speaking a statement based on yourself about a potential goal you're motivated to accomplish. It's a pre-planned aspirational phrase to present to your mind in a way as if it's been achieved. You offer it to your mind in the present tense instead of future tense.
Your goal is logically in the future, but successful mental programming mandates that stating it like it's already realized has the best impacts. This is a powerful strategy to avoid or correct old negative thought loops still running in your mind.
Negative thoughts often play themselves in our head through no choice of our own. They're the origin of all self-limitations, fears, inhibitions and frustrations in our lives. Contrarily, health, self-esteem, relationships, physical abilities and performance can be influenced by positively repetitions of an affirmation or positive belief.
A positive affirmation develops more of an attitude or posture that implies "I can do this!". It's a carefully worded positive phrase that gives our behaviors constructive guidance during our fitness journeys. It gives us the power to change old limiting beliefs with new creative statements that help us manifest our dreams.
Words are a great tool to transform our daily perceptions. In turn, our actions change towards more positive behaviors. The body and the mind communicate so closely together that the body can't tell the difference between a phrase or image that's real or imagined.
That means when your mind imagines an uplifting image, your nervous system can experience the image as if it was occurring in real-time. A lot of the time our actions are mirrors of what we picture in our mind, so paying attention to helpful words and thoughts determines our success.
We use positive affirmations most often when we're helping our clients get accustomed to Le-Vel Thrive. We encourage them to run empowering self-statements through their minds such as, "I am healthy, fit, strong and full of enthusiasm." Repeating a mantra throughout a workout like "focused, strong, dedicated or motivated" is also beneficial.

Perry Steakhouse & Grille's newly opened River Oaks location may be the talk of the city's social set, but a major chef hire could make the restaurant an object of foodie obsession, too. The company announced it has hired celebrity chef Rick Moonen to be the company's master development chef.
In his new role as a full-time Perry's employee, Moonen, who closed his Las Vegas restaurants RM Seafood and Rx Boiler Room at Mandalay Place last year, will oversee menu development, quality control, and efficiency for all 15 of the company's locations in conjunction with Perry's corporate chef Grant Hunter. Although he will remain based in Vegas, a representative tells CultureMap that the chef will travel frequently. Currently, diners may spot him at the River Oaks location.
Known for his efforts to promote the use of sustainable seafood, Moonen is a highly acclaimed chef with a national profile. He is a James Beard Award finalist, was the runner up on season two of Top Chef Masters, and even appeared on the Oprah Winfrey Show.
Customers will already see Moonen's influence on the menu in the form of three, limited-time-only specials that are currently available at all Perry's locations: red snapper crudo with pickled ginger, turmeric, and bright tangerine oil; barbecue octopus with charred lemon garlic potatoes, ranch cabbage slaw, and pickled shallots; and whole Bandera branzino that's steamed whole, presented tableside, and served with an agrodolce sauce.
Perry's has always been popular, but dishes like its massive pork chop or fried asparagus with crab are known more for comfort than innovation. Bringing Moonen on board could elevate the restaurant's culinary profile. At a time of ever-increasing competition, especially among steakhouses, someone with Moonen's reputation will help Perry's stand out from the crowd.

New Details On Who Found Chris Jericho's Missing AEW World Title Belt In The Road
By Marc Middleton |September 5, 2019
Photo Source: AEW
As noted, the Tallahassee Police Department announced on Wednesday that the stolen AEW World Title belt had been recovered. It was said that a citizen found the belt on the side of the road and then turned it in to police HQ. AEW World Champion Chris Jericho had the belt allegedly stolen from him while eating dinner at a Longhorn Steakhouse on Sunday, just hours after he defeated Adam Page in the AEW All Out main event to become the inaugural champion. It was revealed on Wednesday that the title belt went missing at 5:30pm, but it took almost two hours for Jericho to report it stolen. The belt was valued at $29,100 and insured.
Jeffrey Burlew of The Tallahassee Democrat, who broke several details of the story on Wednesday, has a new article that reveals who found the title belt on the side of the road – 41 year old Frank Price of Tallahassee, who just happened to be celebrating his birthday on Sunday as well.
Frank, who works as the assistant director of the Florida Natural Areas Inventory at Florida State University and does not follow pro wrestling, was driving home with his wife Katie after a day of scalloping with friends in nearby Port St. Joe Bay. Frank joked that the belt was a present of sorts that he never asked for, or wanted.
"It's pretty comical," Price said to Burlew. "It's like the start for a great screenplay. This story could have gone in so many other funny directions. There are so many funny twists to it."
Frank and his wife were driving down Highway 20 on the edge of town when he spotted what appeared to be a velvet bag in the middle of a turning lane near Capital Circle Southwest. Frank said the bag was scuffed up and while they didn't look inside until they got home, he could tell there was something heavy in it. They finally opened the bag when they got home and Frank couldn't believe what he was seeing.
"I think I said something like, 'Whoa, it's a huge wrestling belt, check this thing out!' " Frank said. "I never would have guessed that if I had a lifetime of guesses."
Frank's wife then did a Google search on the belt and thought that it seemed to match the AEW World Title belt. They found knockoffs on eBay and couldn't believe that they had the real belt. This was before the internet was filled with stories on the stolen belt and how Jericho lost it. Frank and his wife figured the belt belonged to a kid or some other wrestling fan, guessing it was a replica or part of a costume, so they listed it under the Lost & Found section on the Craigslist Tallahassee forum. Their ad read like this:
"I found a pro wrestling championship belt on hwy 20 Sunday afternoon. Contact me with details and you can come get it."
Frank also texted photos of the belt to his brother and a friend. He started receiving replies to the Craigslist ad on Tuesday night, with some linking him to the Tallahassee Democrat article on the theft and the situation with Jericho. Price didn't see any of those replies until Wednesday morning and that's when he realized what they were in possession of. Frank called the Tallahassee Police Department on Wednesday morning and they told him to bring it in. He handed the belt over to an investigator in the lobby of police HQ, and answered a few questions about how he found it.
While at the police station, Frank ran into Mike Vaughn, owner of Mike's Limousine service, which had given Jericho the ride to Longhorn from the airport on Sunday after he returned from Chicago. Vaughn was planning to file an insurance claim for the missing belt, and was pleased it had been found. Vaughn was so relieved that he gave Frank a $200 reward.
TPD detectives called Frank later that day and said they needed to see him again to take a sworn statement. They were said to be slightly suspicious about the reward, and wondered if Price had called Vaughn to arrange their meeting at police HQ. Price assured the detective that the meeting was a coincidence and the reward was unplanned. Price has emails, text messages, receipts, witnesses and GPS date from his cellphone that backs his story up, and proves he was nowhere near the Million Air strip or Longhorn when the belt went missing. Police have not said if Price is under investigation for the theft, but he said he wouldn't be surprised if he was.
"I was joking that there would be investigators following me around," Price said. "I figure the best approach is to just tell the truth and have fun with the whole thing."
Price said he doesn't know how the belt ended up in the road, but he doubts it was ever stolen in the first place.
"I think what happened is they just set it on the trunk of the limo and it just fell off," he said. "The only other possibility is that it was part of a pro wrestling plot setup. They need all the publicity they can get."
As noted on Wednesday, no arrests have been made in the theft case and police are asking anyone with information to call them at (850) 891-4200 or Crime Stoppers at (850) 574-TIPS.
For those who missed it, Jericho posted this video on Wednesday of the belt back in his possession:

Burnt Trees in The Snow – Fraudband and Donovan's Brain (Kasumuen/Career)
Written by The Barman on 11 August 2019 .
An unlikely pairing or a reckless act of inspiration? The contrasts on this split LP couldn't be more obvious, but somehow the partnership works brilliantly.
Fraudband is an Australian duo (drums and guitar) that plays stark and evocative instrumentals, while Donovan's Brain is a long-running American collective with roots in psychedelic West Coast and paisley pop. This LP, which you can buy on either side of the Pacific, gives each a toehold in the other's musical market. As is often the way in these digital times, the vinyl comes with a download code for six extra tracks, all of them as good as the 10 LP cuts.
Half the Fraudband contribution comes from a CD release called "Blinkered vision and blurred horizons", the rest of which ended up on a Bevis Frond split album. The Donovan's Brain stuff is drawn from a seemingly bottomless well of material, pieced together by leader Ron Sanchez.
Who makes the calls in Fraudband is shrouded in mystery as the members like to keep a low profile, and their sound is idiosyncratic and immediate. The band cites Sonic Youth and there are some parallels in song structure, but to these ears they only operate in a vaguely similar de-tuned sonic space. There's a distinct early Velvets or pre-commercially successful Triffids vibe about the LP songs, recorded live in a basic studio in an afternoon. Throw in a slight Television nuance – especially to the way Don's drumming makes maximum use of the kit – and some Dirty Three spontaneity and you'll get the idea.
The Fraudband guitar sound is drier than a footpath in outer-suburban Melbourne in a rain-less February and burns with similar intensity.
The Brain songs are, as always, diverse. The cast is drawn from all over, with Tom Stevens (Long Ryders), Deniz Tek (Radio Birdman), Scott Sutherland (Model Rockets) and Ric Parnell (Atomic Rooster, Spinal Tap), Bobby Sutcliff (Windbreakers), Kris Hughes (My Girl The River) and Kels Koch joining Ron Sanchez.
Stylistically speaking, the Brain really pushes the boat out there: "Gandy Dancer" sounds positively new wave – almost like a less highly-strung Devo - while "Kelp Whip" would give REM a run for their money. "Hear Me" is one of the warmest things they've put to tape, "Flash Containment" is a beefy rocker and "Two Old Cats" slips into a familiar Donovan's Brain groove, a keyboard line plodding through its innards while vocalists duet in the ozone.
Instrumental bonus track "Snow Trem" is funkier than the soundtrack for a a stumble down 125th Street in a blaxploitation movie and is so removed from previous Brain templates that you might think it's a different band.
Fraudband's "You Never Said" sounds like an unreleased Television song (one of the new ones like "Swells" they play live that would be on an album if only they weren't so lazy.) Some of the cuts run into each other like a film soundtrack - which is not a criticism. The rambunctious stormcloud of "Making Things Better By Making Them Worse" is a show of potential should Fraudband scope out a move into film scores. An enthralling live-in-Japan "Losing It" from a recent tour borders on the improvisational and suggests that Fraudband could follow the Dirty Three into that critical zone of complete acclaim, should they make it to Europe one day.
Order from the respective shop of your choice at Kasumuen Records or Career Records because both sides of this split LP (and its download bonuses) deserve to be widely heard.

Coaching is a means of empowering individuals to help them achieve their goals and objectives more efficiently and effectively. It is a structured conversation between the Coach and the Client that focusses on the future and the achievement of goals or objectives.
In simple speak, the Coach asks open, non-leading questions. The purpose of those questions varies but generally they help the Client to define their ideals, then figure out how to achieve them.
If Performance is Potential minus Interference, a Coach raises their Client's awareness of their Potential and helps remove their Interference to maximise effectiveness and responsibility for action.
A Coach won't provide advice or suggestions as they are not a mentor, counsellor or therapist. A Coach will not help you come to terms with a past experience or trauma. This is the domain of therapy.
If you start a series of Coaching sessions and it becomes clear that Coaching is not the correct support mechanism for you, this will be discussed with you directly to find a suitable solution.
If you're unsure whether Coaching is for you, answer the questions here to find out whether you're in the right mental space for Coaching or whether you could benefit from Coaching.
The Coach guides you through a process or a model that allows you to navigate from where you are today to where you want to be tomorrow. There are many different models available but a key one is GROW; an acronym for the phases of the model: Goals, Reality, Options, Way forward.
The purpose of the model is to provide a framework off which the Client's specific objective can be reviewed and assessed. The Coach will guide the Client through the framework by asking questions, listening to your responses, and understanding your specific challenges while remaining impartial, non-judgemental, and not offering advice. As the process is followed the framework is built up until a clear path forwards is identified at the end of the session.
The Coaching framework allows the Client to step up and out of their normal everyday thinking to see their Ideals from a fresh perspective.
Coaching is for everyone and anyone who has an aspect of their life that they want to improve or advance.
It could be in work, love or play. It doesn't matter as long as it is future focussed and goal orientated.
How can Coaching benefit you?
Fundamentally one of the key benefits of Coaching is what the Clients learn about themselves.
Coaching is a conversation that generally takes place over the telephone/Skype or face to face. Normally the Client contacts the Coach at a pre-arranged time and date.
Summarising and closing out the session.
Each session will be from between 30 minutes to an hour depending on the needs and priorities of the client.
Who will know what has been discussed during the Coaching session?
The Coach will comply with the Coaching Code of Conduct that will be shared with you prior to beginning the Coaching interaction.
Only in extreme situations will this confidence be breached, such as the intention to harm oneself or another.
What does the Coach need from the Client during a session?
In order for you to fully benefit from your Coaching, you are expected to be fully prepared for each session with at least an idea of the topic or area of your life that you would like to progress, develop or improve.
Coaching sessions are more productive when distractions are kept to a minimum. Therefore, please arrange matters such that you are in a disturbance free environment during the Coaching session.
It is highly recommended that you come to a session with a pen and paper because there are multiple points during the Coaching session where it is highly advantageous to make a note of key points.
Finally, please bring anything else that you feel would benefit you during the Coaching session; such as a drink to stay refreshed, or a diary or agenda to note actions.
I want to begin being Coached – What do I do?
Please go to my Contact Page and complete the form stating that you're interested in my Coaching services. I will then contact you with an enquiry pack that will allow us to organise the frequency of our sessions, payment, contact information.
This would then be followed by an Intake Session which will start us talking about you and the ideals that you wish to work towards.

Advent Conspiracy – Telling the Christmas Story Better
CP Church & Ministries | Saturday, December 06, 2008
By Lillian Kwon, Christian Post Reporter | Saturday, December 06, 2008
Hundreds of churches around the world are participating in the Advent Conspiracy, observing the Christmas season with a little less glitter, a little less debt and a lot more love.
"What if Christmas became a world-changing event again?" the creators of Advent Conspiracy pose.
"Everyone wants Christmas to be meaningful but instead it becomes shop, shop, shop, credit cards, traffic jams, to do lists, useless gifts, then off to church," says a promotional video. In the end, people are just left with debt, gifts to return and an empty feeling of missed purpose.
For many, including pastors, Christmas became a painful holiday especially when trying to lead their congregations in worship amid the distractions and stress of the consumer culture.
"[We] lamented that we hated Christmas," said Pastor Rick McKinley of Imago Dei Community Church in Portland, Ore., during his latest sermon on Sunday.
"We hated the fact that we were talking about one of the pinnacles of theology – that here is God becoming flesh and entering our world to bring salvation and peace and restore His whole creation, While we preach and declare and get all excited about that, the truth is the message just becomes white noise because within our cultural context there's so much hecticness that's involved around the holidays," he added.
On top of the consumer culture, Christians have not effectively conveyed the message of Christmas to the public.
"We started looking at what the Church's response has been," McKinley said as he recalled what he and a few other pastors discussed three years ago. "It has been to critique the culture for not talking about Jesus or saying 'Merry Christmas.'"
"So there's this idea that when I'm running through the mall ... [people] should tell me 'Merry Christmas,' not 'Happy Holidays.' That's a very lame place for the Church to draw a line in the sand," the Portland church pastor said. His comments come at a time when several conservative Christian organizations have released lists of retailers that ban "Christmas" references from their holiday advertising and have urged Christians not to shop at such stores.
Chris Seay of Ecclesia Church in Houston and also one of the founders of Advent Conspiracy told Collide magazine, "We're (Christians) upset because Christmas has lost its meaning, but then we get angry because they're saying 'happy holidays' at Best Buy and Circuit City and we want them to say 'Merry Christmas.' My response is just the opposite. Best Buy and Circuit City do not represent what Christmas is about. That's maybe the worst place we can evoke the name of Christ. It has nothing do to with Christmas."
McKinley similarly expressed, "This isn't the mall's story. [Christmas] is our story and we haven't told it very well."
So McKinley, Seay and a number of other pastors began the Advent Conspiracy movement three years ago to tell the story better. But more importantly, they began the initiative to encourage fellow believers to "enter" the story by living it. That not only included worshipping Jesus fully, but also spending less, giving more and loving all.
Americans spend $450 billion a year on Christmas, according to the Advent Conspiracy pastors. But estimates show that it only takes $10 billion to make clean water available to everyone in the world. Yet, still many are struggling without that basic necessity.
In the past two years, hundreds of churches participating in the Advent Conspiracy raised over $3.5 million for global projects, including clean water projects.
"Millions of dollars are being redistributed into beautiful acts of love and mercy and that is a better story," said McKinley.
Plus, by not giving that popular toy and instead making presents, spending time together, and giving to the needy, families said they experienced the best Christmas ever, "free from the brat factor of their kids being spoiled with too many gifts," McKinley told Collide magazine.
"Christmas can [still] change the world," the creators of Advent Conspiracy state.

Q: Specifying today's date in an xml file I am new to XML files in general and need help in getting today's date put into my file to import into Task Scheduler. I exported a task that I will need to run on several computers in the near future, but it keeps a static time of the initial time I scheduled it to run. I am looking to have the file enter today's date when being imported into Task Scheduler. I am currently just opening this using notepad to view the data, and if I can edit it there that would be great or if need another program to edit it let me know. I looked online and found a couple of posts here which seemed to be similar, but I could not figure out how to alter it for my needs.
Shown below is the start of the file, which includes the part where the date I would like to have be dynamic is, under the "StartBoundary" section. As stated, I know little to nothing about XML files, so please explain it to me simply as possible, and as if I know nothing (which is not too far off). If you need more info let me know. Thanks in advance for the help!
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-16"?>
<Task version="1.4" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/windows/2004/02/mit/task">
<RegistrationInfo>
<Date>2018-02-20T11:22:05.1529214</Date>

<TimeTrigger>
  <StartBoundary>2018-2-20T16:15:00</StartBoundary>
  <Enabled>true</Enabled>
</TimeTrigger>
</Triggers>

A: Answering because I had the same question.
I ended up creating an XML with a static date, then running this from the command prompt:
schtasks /create /xml c:\test\test.xml /tn TaskName /f

schtasks /tn TaskName /change /sd %date%

Basically, create from XML then change the start date.
My script has a delay of 365 days, run asap if missed, so I get a program run a year from now.

Hatchet Road widening scheme to be discussed again by SGC
Posted on Tuesday 5th July 2016 at 9:37 pm by SH (Editor)
Controversial plans to widen Hatchet Road in Stoke Gifford, to accommodate a new southbound bus lane for the proposed Cribbs Patchway MetroBus Extension (CPME), are to be considered again by South Gloucestershire Council (SGC) at a meeting in Kingswood tomorrow (Wednesday 6th July).
The CPME is an extension of the MetroBus network which will extend the North Fringe to Hengrove Package (NFHP) route that is currently under construction. It is intended to provide a fast and direct link between Bristol Parkway station and The Mall bus station via the planned new mixed use development on the former Filton Airfield site.
The proposals relating to Hatchet Road require a strip of land to be taken from Meade Park (resulting in the loss of some trees) and the removal of hedgerows on both sides of the carriageway.
Strong opposition to the widening of Hatchet Road was demonstrated in the results of a public consultation, with 75 of the 95 responses relating to this section of the route being categorised as objections.
A decision on the scheme was due to be made at a meeting on 4th May, but following lengthy discussion, it was deferred pending further consideration of the implications of a number of alternative options.
In a report published ahead of tomorrow's meeting, council officers say they have performed further work to inform the committee's decision. This has included investigating funding sources, further technical work into impact on adjacent third party land and the programme implications of pursuing a number of options involving an alternative route that would see MetroBus vehicles leaving Parkway via the rear (eastern) station access and travelling along Hunts Ground Road, Great Stoke Way and Winterbourne Road.
Aside from increasing journey times by between 4.5 and 9.5 minutes, officers have estimated that the Winterbourne Road route options would cost up to £11.7m more than the original proposal involving a new bus lane on Hatchet Road. These options would also result in "significant delays" to the programme, due to the need to undertake surveys and work up preliminary designs prior to undertaking further public consultation.
In particular, the replacement of the Gipsy Patch Lane railway bridge, which is also part of the CPME scheme, could be delayed by up to a year.
Officers also claim that the Winterbourne Road route options that involve road widening would take the road closer to up to approximately 160 private properties, compared to the approximately 35 properties that would be similarly affected along Hatchet Road.
Concerns are also raised about increased MetroBus movements around the multi-story car park at Parkway should CPME buses use the rear station access in addition to buses on the NFHP route, because of the need for buses to give way to each other more frequently when negotiating the tight corners.
The report concludes with a recommendation that the committee "approve the progression of [the original scheme] along Hatchet Road".
Stoke Gifford's three SGC councillors have all previously spoken out against the Hatchet Road route, but none of them are members of the committee that will make the decision.
The Environment and Community Services Committee meets in the Council Chamber, Civic Centre, High Street, Kingswood BS15 9TR on Wednesday 6th July at 2pm.

Councillors have voted 7-6 to progress the Hatchet Road bus lane option.
Stoke Gifford councillor Ernie Brown told the Journal:
"Conservative councillors on the committee voted against three local Conservative councillors [who are not on the committee] and blocked [the alternative proposal of] bus lay-bys along Hatchet Road."

Once again common sense options are ignored by SGC. Hopefully common sense will prevail amongst the local electorate when it comes to the next Local Council elections.

@Phil J: One would hope they remember Parkrun at the next election.
But I doubt that they will.
@CavendishMuppet: It was Stoke Gifford Parish Council that withdrew permission for parkrun, not SGC.

Apologies; I keep getting confused with the multiple layers of bureaucracy eating into my earnings.
Stoke Gifford Parish Council Says:

As Chair of the Parish Council I will do everything possible to ensure the decision is challenged, we will be discussing how best to proceed at Tuesday's Parish Full Council meeting. There is no justification for spending up to £2m to save 30 seconds off the travel time by putting in an extra bus lane along the length of Meade Park in one direction only.
SGlos Officers and Conservatives on the committee took no notice of fellow local councillors and public opinion when other more favourable and economic options were tabled.
[from Cllr Ernie Brown]

In response to SG [Parish] Council Chair's message, the bus lane didn't actually reduce journey times at all. South Glos' own consultation document showed that the bus lay-bys option actually reduced journey times or were equivalent to the bus lane option and cost £0.7m compared to over £2m for the bus lane. In addition, the bus lay-bys offered an improvement in Northbound journey times which the bus lane doesn't. As per my earlier message – no common sense applied in the decision making process.

The Grand Erie District School Board (GEDSB, Originally known as Haldimand Norfolk Brant (English-language Public) District School Board No. 23 prior to May 1998)  is a school board that has legal jurisdiction over Norfolk County, Haldimand County, and Brant County in the province of Ontario, Canada. The main headquarters are in Brantford.

History
The board was formed from the amalgamation of the Norfolk Board of Education, the Brant County Board of Education, and the Haldimand Board of Education in 1998.  The announcement of the new board was made in September `997 as a part of the "Fewer School Boards Act." This was based on a report created in 1996 by the Bob Rae government; who recommended the changes. While the board was officially established on January 1, 1998, many of the administrative positions lasted until the beginning of May in 1998.

In 1998, under Progressive Conservative Premier Mike Harris' government, the way public schools were funded dramatically changed. Among the changes, the province replaced local boards' power to levy taxes to fund schools with a centralized system of education grants. The new regime was accompanied by a law forcing school boards to adopt balanced budgets. These changes contributed to school closures and consolidations in the Grand Erie Board.

Schools winning BCSSAA and NSSAA move onto CWOSSA while Haldimand schools play in SOSSA. All schools move on from there to OFSAA.

Elementary schools in Norfolk County
Boston Public School is a 200-student feeder school to Waterford District High School that consists of eight grades.
Courtland Public School is a feeder school to Valley Heights Secondary School and Delhi District Secondary School.
Delhi Public School (to grade 8) is a 450-student feeder schools for Delhi District Secondary School.

Located within the Grand Erie District, but not part of the public school system, is the Old Colony Mennonite School, a private co-educational school for German Mennonites in the community of Langton, Ontario. The school teaches kindergarten through the eighth grade as in a typical parochial school. Due to its "Old Colony" name, Old Order and Conservative Mennonites tend to dominate the campus. High school students usually go to Valley Heights Secondary School but recent changes in the school board's policy has opened up all secondary schools in Norfolk County for the eighth-grade graduates.

Closed schools
Walsingham Public School was an elementary school that educated in grades K-8, located in Walsingham Township, that was closed along with St. Williams Public School when consolidation review almagmated these two sites into the Port Rowan Public School. The schools were feeder schools to Valley Heights Secondary School. Due to the nearby presence of the Old Colony Mennonite School, which taught the local German Mennonite population, it had to attract students from both the northern and southern parts of Walsingham. Musician Geoff Suderman-Gladwell taught here.

North and South Public Schools were elementary schools in Simcoe, Ontario, that taught children from kindergarten to sixth grade. These schools were feeder schools to Elgin Avenue Public School. The schools were established in the 1928.  Windham Public School was closed in 2009. Students now attend either Delhi Public School or Teeterville public school, making both schools K-8 (formerly K-6). Nixon Public School was located near Simcoe, Ontario; it along with Lyndoch were closed and consolidated at an enlarged Walsh Elementary. Port Dover Public School served Port Dover, Ontario, and was a feeder school to Port Dover Composite School before being amalgamated into Doverwood Public School which subsequently was closed when Port Dover Composite was converted to Lakewood Elementary School.

Two of the schools located in Paris, Ontario, Bethel-Oakhill and Queen's Ward schools closed during the 2009–2010 school year and were replaced by Cobblestone Elementary School.

Walpole South Elementary School was a former K to 8 school located on Sandusk Rd south of the 3rd Concession of Walpole Township adjacent to the Nanticoke Refinery.  Opened in 1965 by the Walpole Board of Education amalgamated into the Haldimand County Board of Education in 1968, it was precipitously closed in June 1998 because of a Hydrogen Sulphide leak which occurred at the neighbouring refinery.  The students were housed at Hagersville Secondary school for the last few weeks of the school year and then the school population was amalgamated with Jarvis Public School that fall with use of portables until a new addition to house the extra students opening in February 2000.

Toyota showing the future of automated driving in Michigan
David Herron September 4, 2014 July 20, 2015 Self Driving
All the car companies are working on what's called Intelligent Transportation Systems, that will lead to self-driving cars over the due course of time. Today, Toyota announced the fourth annual Toyota Advanced Safety Seminar (TASS), convened in Ann Arbor, Michigan ahead of the Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) World Congress next week, at which the company showed a full range of sensors and automated driving technology.
Since they don't mention it being available in vehicles for sale, this technology is still far out into the future.
Here's the press release, retrieved from: http://corporatenews.pressroom.toyota.com/releases/toyota+advanced+automated+vehicle+technology+us+roads+sept4.htm?view_id=40414
Toyota Brings Advanced Automated Vehicle Technology to U.S. Roads
Next generation mapping and display technology to support rapid deployment of advanced safety systems
Toyota Advanced Highway Driving Support System Launches in Mid-decade
ANN ARBOR, Mich. (September 4, 2014) – It's not science fiction anymore. Toyota is putting the future of auto safety technology on display, including environment-mapping systems that can track objects on the road both day and night, 3D information displays that transform the ability to provide road information to drivers, and an advanced driving support system that will be available to U.S. customers in the mid-decade.
All these and more were shown today at the fourth annual Toyota Advanced Safety Seminar (TASS), convened in Ann Arbor, Michigan ahead of the Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) World Congress next week. The seminar provides an advance look into Toyota's safety research and development, spotlighting the company's work to help ensure the safe transition to the future of mobility.
"Toyota's vision is of a world without traffic fatalities, and these advanced connected and automated vehicle technologies hold the potential to revolutionize automotive safety," said Seigo Kuzumaki, Chief Safety Technology Officer Secretary for Toyota Motor Corporation. "We are committed to bringing advanced active safety systems to market as quickly as possible and will make them accessible to a broad range of drivers."
In addition to demonstrating safety research underway at the Collaborative Safety Research Center and updating the public on development progress of fully autonomous vehicles that can operate at high speeds and in inclement weather, Toyota executives revealed the status of several advanced automated driving technologies.
AUTOMATED HIGHWAY DRIVING ASSIST (AHDA)
First unveiled last year in Japan, Toyota's Automated Highway Driving Assist (AHDA) system is designed to team up with the driver behind the wheel to control the car safely. The newest version of AHDA, unveiled at TASS and on display at the ITS World Congress, has been programmed based on actual traffic conditions in the United States and can operate at speeds of up to 70 miles per hour.
The system integrates three core technologies: Dynamic Radar Cruise Control (DRCC), Lane Trace Control (LTC) and Predictive & Interactive Human Machine Interface (HMI). These support the driver by helping to keep the vehicle in the lane and a safe distance from others on the road, all while travelling at highway speeds. The advanced Predictive and Interactive HMI promotes driver engagement by warning when the system will disengage and monitoring the driver's hands on the wheel.
Dynamic Radar Cruise Control (DRCC)
DRCC helps enable drivers to maintain speed and headway more comfortably while also reducing potential risks by helping to maintain a set margin to the preceding vehicle. The system uses 77GHz millimeter wave radar to detect other vehicles traveling on the road and help maintain specific speeds and distances. The AHDA vehicle is equipped with a production prototype radar sensor that is installed on the front grill, which will be introduced to the market as part of Toyota's next generation driving assist systems.
Lane Trace Control (LTC)
LTC assists the driver to easily and safely trace an appropriate path within the lane by using signals from a forward-looking camera and 77GHz millimeter-wave radar. These sensors are used to detect lane marking on the pavement as well as forward vehicles. The system calculates an appropriate driving path and automatically adjusts the vehicle's steering angle so that the vehicle remains within a lane with sufficient margin to surrounding vehicles.
Predictive & Interactive HMI (HMI)
Improved automation through DRCC and LTC are aimed at enabling safer and more comfortable highway cruising to drivers. However it is important to always engage the most important component of the driving system, which is the "driver." For that reason AHDA has incorporated a predictive & interactive HMI as an integral feature to enable smooth transitions between automated and manual driving.
The system provides advance "preview" information to the driver for upcoming settings where limited system support can be expected, predicted based on upcoming road geometry as well as historical sensor performance. These predictions are intelligently generated such that they are only relevant for the particular lane in which the AHDA vehicle is currently travelling. Lane-specific predictions are a result of fusing data from an enhanced map, an automotive-grade global positioning system (GPS) receiver, and sensors such as the forward-looking camera and radar.
Driver monitoring technologies allow the system to understand the level of driver focus on the road ahead. An infrared camera allows the system to understand the driver's face direction, while a touch sensor allows the system to understand whether the driver's hands are on the steering wheel. The system warns the driver if prolonged periods of hands off the steering wheel or eyes off the forward driving scene are detected.
Toyota plans to market technologies based on the AHDA advanced driving support system in the mid-decade.
SPAD LIDAR (Single Photon Avalanche Diode / Light Detection and Ranging)
Demonstrated for the first time in North America at TASS, Toyota's advanced SPAD LIDAR environment mapping and recognition system is a key advancement toward the deployment of automated driving technology. In addition to performance improvements, the system boasts reduced size and cost, allowing it to be installed onboard the vehicle instead of the bulky roof mounts of traditional LIDAR systems.
High-resolution LIDAR (Laser Radar) combines the functions of millimeter wave radar and stereo cameras
Detects the positions and the shapes of obstacles
Active sensors are usable during both day and night
Co-developed with Toyota Central R&D Labs., Inc.
3D HUD (Heads-Up Display)
Toyota's innovative 3D Heads-Up Display builds on the company's philosophy that advanced safety technology should work as a "teammate" with the driver to offer a groundbreaking new approach to vehicle interface design. The system provides critical information including vehicle status, traffic conditions and road signs on the front windshield, rendering them in three dimensions without the need for glasses or other accessories.

New Delhi (India), Feb 11 : Amidst allegations that Prime Minister Narendra Modi led government had removed the anti-corruption clause in the Rafale deal, Air Marshal SBP Sinha who headed Rafale negotiations on behalf of India, said that such a clause was not there in the earlier government to government contracts signed with America and Russia. "Till now, we had 'government to government' contract with America and Russia. It is the third 'government to government' contract, which is with France. Such clause was not there in any of them," said SBP Sinha while speaking to . Congress president Rahul Gandhi on Monday asserted that Prime Minister Narendra Modi has facilitated loot in the Rafale deal as according to a media report he had removed the anti-corruption clause from the controversial fighter jet deal. "Every Defence deal has an anti-corruption clause. The Hindu has reported that the Prime Minister removed the anti-corruption clause. It is clear that the Prime Minister facilitated loot," said Rahul earlier on Monday. However, the UPA government in 2013 had come up with a new policy which allowed the Defence Ministry not to follow the laid down rules and sign inter-governmental agreements with friendly foreign countries as per mutually agreed provisions between both sides.

It's a special edition of the Aston's V8 Vantage coupe (or roadster); loosely inspired by Aston's GT4 racing cars.
A follow-up to the N400 of 2007, weight of the N420 has been cut by 27kg over the standard V8 Vantage, which doesn't sound like a great deal because, well, it isn't really. It has mostly come from the application of carbonfibre in place of other trim; such as lighter seats. There are carbonfibre details on the outside too and a new design of alloy wheel.
The engine remains the same 4.7-litre, 420bhp V8 as standard, while a manual or robotised-manual gearbox is offered. Most significantly is that the optional Sport Pack is fitted – that gives revised springs and dampers and thicker anti-roll bars. There's a sports exhaust, too. Oh, and optional Race Collection paintwork – different-coloured paint for the pillars/rails and grille surround, as on Aston's race cars.
More extreme than the regular V8 Vantage, certainly. The carbonfibre-backed seats are exceptionally supportive and, even at idle, there's a hint of greater potency from the exhaust.
The low-speed ride won't have you writing home, either. Chuck in the Alcantara finish on the steering wheel and it's a quite an engaging experience.
Changes don't run so deep as they do on, say, a Porsche 911 GT3 though. This is still a V8 Vantage, just one that's better tied to the road. So it steers with pleasing accuracy and feel, and wants to be revved with surprising vigour for a big V8. Do so and it gets along nicely, with the sports exhaust making a really belting noise when the engine's wound to the upper echelons of the rev-range.
The stiffer springing brings its rewards if you're pressing on. Turn-in is sharpened noticeably, grip is strong and the N420 improves the standard V8 Vantage's chassis feel near the limit. The car feels more planted, with less body unwanted movement as the front tyres (on a steady throttle) or the rear tyres (with trail-braking or a dose of gas) begin to reach their limits.
Because it's unchanged, the V8 engine retains its odd, slightly springy response to the pedal – as if the two are attached by a piece of elastic. It's far less noticeable on the optional Sportshift transmission fitted to our test N420. This is a single-clutch automated manual rather than a twin-clutch unit or a full auto. I quite like it, but I'd prefer a manual if the engine didn't have its slightly peculiar response, and if it didn't hang so much when you come off the throttle. The Sportshift disguises those traits well.
It's worth thinking about, certainly. If you were to spec the N420's options separately you'd end up with a bill that makes this model's £97k list price look like good value.
But the N420 isn't a full-blown Porsche 911 GT3 rival – the changes to the Porsche run deeper and truer to its motorsport roots. It feels more authentic and less superficial. While I think the best Porsches are the lightest, most stripped bare ones, conversely I think the best Astons are its more cosseting models.
What the Aston N420 is, though, is a worthily more focused and more entertaining car than the regular V8 Vantage, at an acceptable premium.

Re: Aston Martin V8 Vantage N420
More proof of Autocar's flawed verdict of the Vantage V12 against the SLS et al.
Now more than ever, the N420 makes the V12 look like what it is - a marketing exercise with no more showroom appeal or exclusivity than the V8.
If Ferrari put a V12 in the 458 everyone would call that cynical.

[quote inthebin]sweet, so this is the perfect and best yet vantage is it not?[/quote] No, this is a chavvy mass-produced thing. The best Vantage was the Oscar-India V8 Vantage, designed by William Towns.

[quote Dan McNeil v2]The best Vantage was the Oscar-India V8 Vantage[/quote]
Er, define 'best', Dan. Last time i was looking around an OI Vantage, it looked a lot like a big engine with a crappy body loosely attached. The owner freely admitted it was rubbish to drive. But then, he did have a Ferrari 250 GT SWB to compare it to...
[quote disco.stu]
I say Disco Stu, you're almost as pedantic as I am!
Perhaps I should have said "Apogee of Vantage-ness".
To be honest though, I have seen a few OI Vantages that were in a really shoddy condition. I've also seen a few (and been lucky enough to have driven one) that were in very good nick. And a nice OI Vantage is a force of nature.
Sure, certain Italian cars are more wieldy, but nothing compares to a hand-built old-school Aston (apart from a Bristol - but that's another story...).
And, apart from a fettled Bristol, I can't think of many other supercars with the classic front engine/rear drive layout that can mix it with more exotic stuff in real world driving.
