Stellenbosch.Co.Za goes Bundu Bashing
Bring Gum Boots!
Vehicle used: 2000 Land Rover Defender 110 Hardtop TD5
Odometre reading: 14000km
Engine: 2,5litre in-line 5 cylinder turbocharged Common Rail Diesel
92kW, 300Nm
The late 80s brought a change in people's attitudes towards 4-wheel-drive vehicles. A vehicle designed to take on the roughest terrain mother Earth could throw at it was suddenly being bought for only one reason: the IDEA that it could accomplish just this task and that the owner was of thehardest and toughest variety.
By the mid 90s the SUV (sports utility vehicle) and trendy 4x4 market was booming, every possible vehicle manufacturer wanting a piece of the pie. By the turn of the millenium, even Mercedes, Audi and BMW had entered the market, making 4x4's comfortable, safe, fast and luxurious.
Thus the initial idea of the rugged 4x4 is fading fast, as BMW's X5 comes with leather, CD, climate control, metallic paint and an options list from here to Sandton Square's parking lot. The X5, Audi's Allroad, Jeep's Grand Cherokee V8, Merc's ML430 and ML55 all top 200km/h with more power and gadgets than Bill Gates. Over 80% of all Land Rover Discovery's EVER SOLD will never leave the tar road.
Help was needed fast, and it came in the form of Land Rover's 'Experience' tracks. Stellenbosch.Co.Za was invited on a photoshoot for the Western Cape Land Rover Experience near Paarl, and I'm glad to report that my views and ideas of a proper 4x4 have been brutally put back to their original state! Land Rover had exactly this in mind, as it's a real pity to see these tough offroaders having to carry kids, groceries and the family Labrador up a pavement at the most. Not condemning the Sandton 4x4 squad, LR simply wants the proud new owners to know precisely what their vehicle is capable of, and what it was initially designed for. Thus, should you decide to purchase your very own Landy, you will receive Level 1 Training at the Land Rover Experience free of charge!
The track is an abandomned clay quarry, features 9 dams and (especially in Winter) hundreds of puddles and mudholes. Nature is carefully preserved according to Land Rover's 'Fragile Earth' policy, and the track even saw the addition of 7500 trees. The biggest dam sports an island, on which the LR Experience facilities (in the form of a thatch-roofed conference centre and entertainment area) are housed. The island is accessible via a rustic wooden walkway, and it should also be noted that the road to this dam is not made for your average family car. Best leave that in the parking lot at the entrance, as the few hundred metres to the main dam are riddled with trenches, mudpools, puddles and rocks, all of which the Stellenbosch.Co.Za Landy (alias 'Ossewa') took on with much enthusiasm.
Once on the island and inside the 'clubhouse', we were greeted by two instructors and two participants, taking a break from the compulsory lecture that forgoes any driving attempts on the track. Lectures cover every possible aspect and scenario of offroad driving with the help of a white board and some squeeky pens. Each participant can learn more about the abilities and accessories of their vehicle, be it a Defender, Freelander, Discovery or Range Rover.
Confused? Defenders are the classic Landy's, boxy, noisy and reasonably ugly. (Sheer matter of opinion, though) Freelanders are roundish, smaller and cuter. You'll find those in suburban Yuppieland. Discovery's are larger, faster and more luxurious. Hang around a school or shopping centre for a sighting. Range Rovers are huge, fast, super luxurious, hideously expensive and immenently a bit more rare. Head to Constantia or Clifton to spot one.
Back to the Experience though, and once the lecture was completed, we got into our trusty Landies to brave the day's offroading. Not to worry, your new beauty will not be tortured around this hellhole, as the Experience comes complete with it's own two Defenders and a Freelander. We got into the one Defender, a 110 Hardtop TD5 to be exact, and followed the participants and instructor in the sister car. The latter vehicle is fitted with a bullbar, spotlights and a winch for Level 2 courses.
The quarry has a criss-cross of tracks, most of which are rich with ditches, dongas, trenches, humps, bumps, rocks, stones, mud, mudpools or water. Our Landy carefully followed its sibling around the chosen path, rocking from side to side through the ditches, the low range cogs and turbocharger whining along to the TD5 'Storm' engine's cheerful clicking and clucking monotone beat.
It was only when we were told to take a shortcut to arive at our destination ahead of the participants when we ran into a spot of trouble. A mudhole the size of the car lay ahead, littered with obvious imprints of a Landy's undercarriage. Even the two half-metre deep wheeltracks didn't deterr Stb.Co.Za's adventurous webmaster and he charged the mudhole with rather ambitious intentions. A few seconds later (and the odd bang or whine) the Landy was part of the mudhole. Our fearless and excited driver, however, with the odd chunk of mud flying, got us out again and chose an alternative route. We got the desired footage of the other Defender, at first wading through a miniature dam at about waist-height, but we soon realised that this would be a rather wet and muddy eperience when they speeded up towards us.
The rest of the track featured steep hills which lend the impression of driving straight into the ground or up into the sky, and countless ditches which tilt the car to quite a worrying angle. Puddles and mudpools don't reveal the tyre-deep holes until the car suddenly falls into them and dangerously leans over. Needless to say, the driver experiences this less than the chicken passengers and it's been said that when the fear of rolling sets in, a Defender can handle 5 more degrees!
Once atop a plateau, fittingly nicknamed 'the playground', we met up with the participants and instructor about to take on some man-made obstacles. The Defender was cross-axled over a series of humps, then crossed a group of logs and plowed through a pair of mudpools. (Cross-axling is when your front axle is tilted perpendicular to your rear axle) After a U-turn, the participants drove along an embankment, braving ditches, mudpools, rocks and humps along the way. All of which are designed to throw you off course while you're trying not to put the car onto it's side.
Next came the hill descent, an exercise down a concrete incline of 38 degrees. The participants took turns churning down in first gear low range as not to produce unwanted loss of grip. It can be safely assumed that offroading is a style of driving in it's own rights when you plummet down a hill without using the brakes! Right, once down there they needed to get up again, but for the first few attempts the car was stalled on purpose halfway up the hill. The only recovery option was to roll down again, this time using reverse gear low range. The trusty Defender with it's 300Nm of torque from the Storm TD5 engine made it up the hill numerous times without major effort.
After lunch, I was once again reassured of the Defenders' offroad prowess and it's sheer indestructability (for lack of a decent word). We hopped over more stones, waded through even more mudpools and ended up at what I can only describe as the entrance to hell. A steep descent/drop/hill of about 3 to 4 metres, at times nearly vertical and covered in mud, was to be the next obstacle.
This was, I must admit in utter shame, where my faith in the Land Rovers departed, and I was sure that we were about to abondomn a car down there.
Each participant reversed (slipped/slid) down the hill, and once stationary at the bottom (after countless bangs, cracks and groans from the car) attempted to drive back up again. This involved using all of the 2 metre run-up to gain momentum and continue to plow up the hill in 3rd gear low range, according to an Instructor. When the first participant started to accelerate, the Instructor mumbled something like 'much to slow' and the car promptly got stuck halfway up.
The solution, as promised, involved spinning the wheels and flooring the car, hitting the incline at just the right angle and, if the car was still pointing in the right direction, flooring it all the way into the sky.
As an innocent bystander, one got the impression of the Defender attempting it's last hillclimb, as the engine and drivetrain were screaming bloody murder, the wheels were throwing around anything they could get their profile on as the car banged, grinded, groaned and bounced up the hill, seemingly uncontrollable. Stb.Co.Za's adventurous webmaster joined in the fun and braved the hill after the two participants, making it up the first time and showing the pride and sense of accomplishment that goes with it, while I was pointing my camera at the Land Rover, waiting for the moment when the wheels would fall off.
In all fairness though, these cars are extremely solid and even more capable. I still wouldn't think the car could make the abovementioned hill, but it did. My faith in the rugged Land Rover has been restored. The rest of the day featured deeper trenches, bigger mudpools and more torture for the Landy, but it took everything we threw at it and wanted more.
We also got the chance to see the cute little Freelander (with the new 260Nm TD4 commom rail diesel engine) in action on 'the playground'. A terribly underrated offroader, the Freelander is often dismissed as a Yuppie plaything because it doesn't match up to the Defender in areas like ground clearance. But as the Hill Descent Control and Traction Control were demonstrated I got the impression that this mini-Landy was quite capable indeed and provides the perfect balance between the hard Defender and the comfortable Discovery, with a lot of uniqueness thrown into the mix. Take the front of the car, for instance, with most of the panels being plastic which dents in easily and bounces back into shape just as easily. Crumple zones lie beneath, as do the clever Traction control and engine management systems which feature many useful funtions to help you out of trouble. Stuck in a mudpool or halfway up that concrete incline, the Freelander just started up again and carried on marching, the Traction Control preventing unwanted wheelspin.
So there you go. We ate mud, got wet, took 188 pictures and had a marvellous time. We might be a bit biased towards the Rovers, but as the Instructors confirmed, most 4x4's are capable in the hands of an expert. Want to be included in this elite group of people? Better start by calling the Land Rover Experience. Oh, and bring Gum Boots.
Macho, no-nonsense driving
You get to play in mud all day in a beautiful environment
Offroad abilities of the Landies are more than impressive
There's mud - of the sticky variety. And plenty of it.
Not for the faint-hearted.
Pricey, if you haven't bought a new Landy (...)

South Africa took a 1 nil lead in the three-match T20 series against Sri Lanka, after a victory in the opening game at Newlands, Cape Town yesterday.
But it was only after the visitors forced the game into a Super Over, showing plenty of fight despite posting only 134 on the board.
Needing five for victory in the final over, JP Duminy took a single off Isuru Udana and saw Dale Steyn play out a couple of dots before taking a single.
With three required off two, Duminy ended up being run out while trying a second to get back on strike.
Imran Tahir managed a single to level scores, with Niroshan Dickwella to blame for a missed run-out and an opportunity to seal the game.
South Africa went on to post 14 in the Super Over - David Miller managing a six and a four off Lasith Malinga.
Imran Tahir then came up with a fine display under pressure, conceding only five to facilitate South Africa's jail break!

Will Irish eyes be smiling come St Patrick's day?
Red Rugby / February 6, 2014
So the opening weekend of the Six Nations 2014 has come and gone. Red Rugby correctly predicted two of the three results (what a return!) but our scores were well out. No surprise there then. On the field, however, the matches of round one were anything but ordinary: a rusty looking Wales had to draw on their big game experience to see off a dogged and defensively improved Italian side. While you never got the feeling that the Welsh were going to lose, the surprisingly close scoreline will have provided a much needed reality-check for Warren Gatland's men. France snatched victory from the jaws of defeat as the (provocatively named) Gaël Fickou dived over the whitewash to break English hearts. Stuart Lancaster's side had showed a huge amount of character and determination to overturn an early deficit but in the end, just as it was in Cardiff last March, the England boys had to suffer another brutal lesson away from home.
And then there was Ireland. The Irish rightly top the table after week one thanks to their impressively efficient second-half display against Scotland. The Scots (who were competitive early on) were ultimately undone by their lack of attacking threat. That's not a weakness you could level at Ireland though, as was seen by tries from Rob Kearney, Andrew Trimble and man-of-the-match Jamie Heaslip. In that second 40, they continued the sort of form that saw them get so close to the Kiwis last autumn.
Now, any good Irishman, lover of Ireland or general booze-hound will be able to tell you that St. Patrick's Day falls on March 17th. This year, 'St. Paddy's' comes just two days after what could be a title-winning weekend for the Irish. They close the tournament away to France and, following the opening weekend's performances, you wouldn't be able to rule out a rare win in Paris for Joe Schmidt's charges. With a strong win already in the bag, attentions are understandably turning to a possible Grand Slam shaded in green. Could they do it? It would certainly be one of those fairytale endings that occasionally occur in sport. Picture the scene: BOD lifts the Six Nations trophy on Saturday 15th to spark wild celebrations which last well into Monday's annual festivities and eventually stop once the black stuff runs dry.
A tantalising thought it may be but the truth is that Ireland's toughest games are still to come, no more so than the top-of-the-table clash against Wales this weekend. As mentioned last week, the Irish faithful are desperate for revenge following Warren Gatland's perceived snub of O'Driscoll last summer on Lions duty. While Red Rugby does not expect this to be at the forefront of the players' thinking, the Irish side will be desperate to get one over a team that has enjoyed considerable success over the last few years, often at their expense (as seen at the 2011 Rugby World Cup). With confidence high in the Ireland camp, and the Welsh stuttering to an opening win, the time would seem right to record a win. Will they do it? Let's take a look at the round two predictions:
2014 RBS 6 Nations – Round Two
Saturday 8 Feb – Ireland v Wales (2.30pm) – Wales to win by 3 points
Saturday 8 Feb – Scotland v England (5.00pm) – England to win by 10 points
Sunday 9 Feb – France v Italy (3.00pm) – France to win by 15 points
I'm guessing our Irish readers may be apoplectic at this point. Saturday's 'grudge match' will undoubtedly be close but the Welsh will sneak it. Why? Well, the breakdown is key and the reintroduction of Sam Warburton into the side will boost Welsh chances in this area. But do not underestimate Gethin Jenkins' influence here too as he is more than capable of a few 'jackals'. Secondly, and with rain forecast, kicking will be crucial. In this department, Wales are blessed with the consistency of Leigh Halfpenny's boot whereas Jonathan Sexton has looked shaky on the international stage since THAT missed kick last November. All this said, Wales will have to improve considerably from last weekend's showing against Italy…but perhaps a wake-up call was just what the doctor ordered?
Elsewhere, expect a talented young England side to be too good for a dogged yet toothless Scottish outfit. France will achieve what Wales didn't and beat Italy by a healthy margin due to their high tempo of play.
But don't worry Irish, Scottish and Italian readers – as proved last week, these predictions are as unreliable as as a French form guide. Whatever happens, let's enjoy the craic of what should be a cracking Dublin encounter.

Q: Override disabled style on v-btn I'm trying to override innate vuetify style for the disabled state of my buttons but I can't find the right style / classes / terms.
Here is my CSS :
.contained-btn {
  color: white !important;
  background-color: blue !important;
  border-radius: 4px !important;
}

.contained-btn:disabled {
  background-color: #DDE5ED !important;
  color: black !important;
}

.theme--light.v-btn.v-btn--disabled:not(.v-btn--flat):not(.v-btn--text):not(.v-btn-outlined):not(.contained-btn) {
  background-color: unset !important;
  border-color: unset !important;
}

.theme--light.v-btn.v-btn--disabled.contained-btn:not(.v-btn--flat):not(.v-btn--text):not(.v-btn-outlined) {
  background-color: revert !important;
}

The background-color doesn't work except if I uncheck those 2 styles in my developer tool :

For the color I have to uncheck this too :

How can I traduce this "uncheck" in my CSS please ?

A: For everybody using Vuetify 3, you can use css variables like this:
html body .v-theme--light {
    --v-disabled-opacity: 1;
}

Obviously, if you are using the dark theme you should do this:
html body .v-theme--dark {
    --v-disabled-opacity: 1;
}

I'm not sure if this works for vuetify 2

A: I finally found the solution by adding this style :
.v-btn.v-btn--disabled.contained-btn:not(.v-btn--flat):not(.v-btn--text):not(.v-btn-outlined) {
  background-color: #DDE5ED !important;
  color: black !important;
}

Instead of :
.theme--light.v-btn.v-btn--disabled.contained-btn:not(.v-btn--flat):not(.v-btn--text):not(.v-btn-outlined) {
  background-color: revert !important;
}

Under Indiana's law, civil litigation is a legal process brought by a private or public entity, which is not concerned with criminal activity.
Indiana civil litigation serves the purpose of providing persons with compensation for legal injustices or wrongs that have been committed against them.
In Indiana, the major purpose of civil litigation is not punishment or deterrence. Both of those goals are the province of the criminal justice system. Rather, civil litigation in Indiana is meant to provide the victims of wrongdoing with tangible (usually monetary) redress.
What Are Common Subjects of Civil Litigation in Indiana?
Personal Injury: Personal injury in Indiana is probably the issue that most often leads to civil litigation. When someone is physically hurt because of the intentional or negligent conduct of another, they have a right to recover the costs associated with the injury, such as medical expenses, lost wages, etc.
Employment: Another frequent source of civil litigation in Indiana is the employer/employee relationship. Because of its importance for both parties involved, this relationship can sometimes get pretty tense. Not surprisingly, its often a source of civil litigation. Some frequent employment issues that can lead to litigation in Indiana include wage and hour violations, on the job injuries, and discrimination.
Family Disputes: Most people in Indiana know that the family relationship can be difficult, to say the least. Disputes involving divorce, community property, and child custody can easily lead to civil litigation in Indiana.
Do I Need a Indiana Civil Litigation Attorney?
In Indiana, it's not uncommon for people to face the prospect of civil litigation very suddenly, and with little warning. And the legal and practical issues involved in civil litigation are normally very intricate.
Therefore, if you're facing an issue that might lead to civil litigation, it's necessary that you speak with an experienced Indiana civil litigation attorney.


When a train passes through here, it forces the nearby traffic light to turn to red. Even though no one is travelling in the east or west direction, both north and south are forced to stop. This can be very annoying, especially when 2 trains pass by one after another. This intersection can build up quite a deal of traffic and only makes matters worse when the green light unleashes the traffic on the subsequent traffic lights in either direction. Please allow north bound and south bound traffic continue to flow during a train passing!

A call for Runners, joggers and fun runners across the Northwest and Strabane are being encouraged to sign up for two forthcoming Half Marathon events that are taking place in the coming months.
Speaking at the official launch of the Strabane-Lifford and Waterside Half Marathons, Mayor of Derry City and Strabane District, Councillor Elisha McCallion, said she was confident both events would be widely supported considering the current interest in running across the Council area.
The race includes a 5k Fun Run and a walk for all ages and abilities and is a popular cross border event and is supported by Derry City and Strabane District Council in conjunction with Lifford Athletic Club.
For those of you thinking further ahead then there is still time to get training to be part of the Waterside Half Marathon which is scheduled for Sunday 4th September. Departing from Gransha Grounds at 10am, the event includes a Half Marathon for runners and wheelchair athletes, as well as a three person relay and a 2k family fun run.
Mayor McCallion says both half marathons are fantastic local sporting events that attract runners and athletes from all over the Council area and wider North West region.
"Running is hugely popular at the minute across Derry and Strabane. There is a huge interest in it with lots of local running clubs set up actively encouraging people to get fit and to ditch the couch in favour of getting out and about and enjoying a healthy lifestyle. Both of these events are significant additions to the local events calendar and are important family occasion for everyone involved.
"Registration for both events is now open and a training schedule is also available for download – so make sure to get involved – www.derrystrabane.com/halfmarathon," she said.

Q: When i am using alert, toggleClass is working otherwise not. Why? The Question is when i am using alert, toggleClass works otherwise not.
Here is my code
$(testParentSpan).click(function(){
      $(this).toggleClass("parent1");
      alert("test is click");
});

where as testParentSpan is variable storing whole span tag
var testParentSpan = htmlLabelElementObj.parentElement.parentElement.parentNode.parentNode.parentNode.firstChild;

css
span.parent1 span.dynatree-icon {
    background-image: url('closefolder.png') !important;
}

/*span.parent1[class~='dynatree-expanded'] */
span.dynatree-expanded[class~=parent1] span.dynatree-icon  {
    background-image: url('openfolder1.png') !important;
}

I tried
$(testParentSpan).bind('click','.class',function(){
    $(this).toggleClass("parent1");
      alert("test is click");
});

same effect no change. when i use alert it works otherwise not.

A: The only reasonable thing that comes to mind is that you might have some code that changes the css classes or does some other dom manipulation, and that code delays it's execution in the alert sceanario - alert blocks the control flow. From the info supplied in the question I can only suggest to debug in order to track where the code that generates this race condition occurs...

Der Kerkis (, auch Kerketeas ) ist mit   der höchste Berg der griechischen Insel Samos.

Er liegt im Westen der Insel und ist nach dem 1624 m hohen Fengari auf Samothraki der zweithöchste Berg der Ägäis, die Erhebungen auf Euböa und Kreta nicht mitgezählt.

Es gibt mehrere Routen zum Besteigen des in seiner Gipfelregion vegetationslosen und felsigen Berges, dessen Spitze auch Vigla genannt wird. Festes Schuhwerk, Trittsicherheit, reichliche Wasservorräte und ausreichende Kondition sind erforderlich. Marathokambos ist der häufigste Ausgangspunkt.

Am 3. August 1989 stürzte ein in Thessaloniki gestartetes Flugzeug der Olympic Airways an dem Berg ab; alle 34 Insassen kamen ums Leben.

India's first grid-scale battery-based energy storage system was launched in February. The 10-MW system is owned by AES Corp. and Mitsubishi Corp., and operated by Tata Power Delhi Distribution Ltd. (Tata Power-DDL). The project (Figure 1) is located at a Rohini, Delhi, substation operated by Tata Power-DDL and designed to provide grid stabilization, better peak-load management, add system flexibility, enhance reliability, and protect critical facilities for Tata Power-DDL's 2 million customers. Fluence, a supplier of energy storage technology jointly owned by AES and Siemens, supplied its Advancion technology for the project. Indian officials said they hope the project paves the way for wider adoption of grid-scale energy storage across the country.
"This is a market-opener project," Manish Kumar, managing director, Energy Storage for AES, told POWER. "We believe there's a tremendous opportunity in India for battery energy storage, for many, many projects in India. By choosing storage over alternatives, India is taking steps to modernize its energy system. We think this will allow for rapid deployment of storage across the country, integrating solar and wind, in transmission and distribution planning throughout the country." India has a goal of installing 225 GW of renewable power generation by 2022, and officials have said battery-based energy storage can provide the flexibility needed to better integrate intermittent solar and wind energy resources into the country's electric grid.
Officials said battery storage systems will be a preferred method of power generation because they are fast-ramping, and can be built in a matter of months, as opposed to older technologies such as pumped hydroelectric energy storage that can take years to build and are highly dependent on geographical locations.
Kumar said the India project is similar, but on a smaller scale, to a project AES announced in February, in which AES said it would install 100 MW of battery storage for Arizona Public Service (APS), as part of an APS plan to add as much as 850 MW of battery storage capacity at its solar power plants over the next several years.
India in the first half of 2018 installed 4.9 GW of solar power. The government has approved plans for at least 14 new solar parks as part of its National Solar Mission, which calls for 100 GW of solar generation capacity by 2022.


One of the things I enjoy to using this blog for is to share cool projects from Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) research. This post highlights projects by Gonzalo Ramos (or "Gonzo" for short) and his co-authors. He has worked on several projects demonstrating how much better pen input software could be. These are just a few I like.
You can check more of his projects on his website.
Awesome set of videos, thanks!
Keeping user interaction focus, and strengthening interaction stimulus are definitely key problems.
It's a pity that WIMP is such a dominant paradigm - we can clearly do better today!
I think the pen roling its one thing would be possible with IR pen + wiimote, i am right ???
We can put for example 2 IR in one unic PEN, and wiimote can track both of them..
We can put for example 2 IR in one unic PEN, and wiimote can track both of them buy cialis online, buy viagra online, buy cialis online, buy viagra online, buy cialis online, phentermine buy buy phentermine Phentermine No Prescription Phentermine online, swine flu , how much insurance , Order Adipex , buy phentermine, phentermine 37.5, buy tramadol Keeping user interaction focus, and strengthening interaction stimulus are definitely key problems.
Gee, things went downhill a bit here, didn't they?
Those videos are super cool!
Thanks for sharing. nice post, i really appreciate it.
Yes! That is the way to go! Using a pen as an Interface is so elegant and natural. Then just add your fingers to this kind of app and you have the perfect 3d manipulating tool!
It is a real prototype that leverages a real communications infrastructure. The devices broadcast their pen gestures to a stitching server that detects when a stitching gesture takes place.
The applications in the devices then receive the stitching (and geometry) notification and act accordingly, e.g., creating a connection, transmitting a picture, etc.
Keeping user interaction focus, and strengthening interaction stimulus are definitely key problems.Thanks for your post , it is very nice and helpful . all our products are top quality and low prices . would you like something ? ok follow me ! better choice better life !
There's not a problem to see the write my essay service, just because there're several of them in web. However, students should chose a distinguished service to order high quality term papers.
I like this video thanks a lot for sharing this video.

The £5bn franchise was awarded to FirstGroup in October but that decision was contested by Richard Branson and Virgin Train.
The Government has already indicated that repaying bidding costs to the companies competing for the franchise is likely to land taxpayers with a bill of around £40 million.
Virgin Trains are to carry on running the West Coast Mainline for the next two years.The move is a temporary one and South Lakes MP says this doesn't give the company any incentive to invest in the line.

Sympathy for Germany
16 Aug 2022, 12:00 am
Feature Highlight
Today, it is the Germans who are facing a wall of condescension, antipathy, and even mockery.
Greeks and other southern Europeans could now be feeling schadenfreude as Germany faces the collapse of its economic model in the face of the Ukraine war and the new cold war with China. But with a democratic Europe in the balance, this is no time to gloat.
It is never easy to wake up to the news that your country's business model is busted. It is difficult to acknowledge the obvious: that your political leaders had either been deluded or lying to you when they assured you for decades that your hard-earned living standards were safe. That your immediate future now relies on the kindness of foreigners determined to crush you. That the European Union, in which you had placed your trust, had been engaging in a permanent concealment exercise. That your EU partners, to whom you are now appealing for help, look at you as a villain whose comeuppance is long overdue. That economic elites in your country and beyond are seeking novel ways to ensure that your country remains stuck. That you must endure massive, painful changes to ensure that nothing changes.
Greeks know this feeling. We experienced it in our bones in early 2010. Today, it is the Germans who are facing a wall of condescension, antipathy, and even mockery. Ironic as it may seem, no Europeans are better placed than the Greeks to understand that the Germans deserve better; that their current predicament is the result of our collective, European failure; and that no one – least of all the long-suffering Greeks, southern Italians, Spaniards, and Portuguese (the PIGS as we were once called) – benefits from schadenfreude.
The tables have been turned on Germany because its economic model relied on repressed wages, cheap Russian gas, and excellence in mid-tech mechanical engineering – particularly manufacturing cars with internal combustion engines. This resulted in massive trade surpluses during four distinct post-World War II phases: under the US-led Bretton Woods system, which provided fixed exchange rates and market access to Europe, Asia, and the Americas; then, after the collapse of Bretton Woods, when the single European market proved highly lucrative for German exports; again following the introduction of the euro, when vendor financing opened the floodgates for both goods and capital flowing from Germany to Europe's periphery; and, finally, when China's hunger for intermediate and final manufacturing products took up the slack after the euro crisis dampened demand for German goods in southern Europe.
Germans are now slowly coming to terms with the demise of their economic model and are beginning to see through the multifaceted Big Lie their elites were repeating for three decades: Fiscal surpluses were not prudence in action, but rather a monumental failure, during the long years of ultra-low interest rates, to invest in clean energy, critical infrastructure, and the two crucial technologies of the future: batteries and artificial intelligence. Germany's dependence on Russian gas and Chinese demand was never sustainable in the long term; and they are not mere bugs that can be ironed out.
The claim that the German model was compatible with Europe's monetary union is also being exposed as false. Lacking a fiscal and a political union, the EU was always going to saddle Club Med governments, banks, and corporations with unpayable debts, which eventually would force the European Central Bank to choose between letting the euro die and embarking upon a permanent bankruptcy-concealment project.
Germans are realizing this today as they observe a hamstrung ECB which is damned if it raises interest rates substantially (causing Italy and others to implode) and damned if it doesn't (allowing runaway inflation). While it never should have been the ECB's job to save the euro from its flawed foundations, Germans can see that their politicians lied to them that their economic model could survive the 2008 crisis as long as other eurozone countries practiced enough austerity. They are also coming to understand that their leaders' stimulus-phobia led to permanent socialism for the southern European oligarchs, the Franco-German bankers, and various zombified corporations.
Once upon a time, those of us who criticized the notion that every eurozone country should become like Germany objected that the German model worked only because no one else had adopted it. Today, with the end of cheap gas and America's new cold war with China, the German model is kaput even for Germany. Yes, German exports will rebound, aided by the low value of the euro. Volkswagen will sell a lot more electric cars once supply chains are restored. BASF will bounce back, once energy supplies are secured. What will not return is the German model: A large chunk of Volkswagen's revenues will go to China, whence the battery technologies come, and mountains of value will shift from the chemical industry to AI-related sectors.
Some German friends are pinning their hopes on the falling euro to restore the German model to health. It won't. Low-savings countries with a structural trade deficit, like Greece or Ghana, do benefit from devaluation. High-savings countries with a structural trade surplus, do not – all that happens is that poorer domestic consumers subsidize richer exporters, which is precisely the opposite of what the German social economy needs.
My message to German friends is simple: Quit mourning. Cut through the denial, anger, bargaining, and depression, and start designing a new economic model. Unlike Greeks, you still have enough sovereignty to do so without the permission of creditors.
But first, you must resolve a critical political dilemma: Do you want Germany to retain political and fiscal sovereignty? If so, your new model will never work within this eurozone of ours. If you do not want to go back to the Deutsche Mark, you need a model embedded within a full-fledged, democratic European federation. Anything else will continue the Big Lie with which you are now painfully coming to terms.

About Viswanathan

Childhood abuse negatively affects young people's health. Little is known about its effect on health care usage patterns or on perception of health status during a life stage when learning to use care independently is a key developmental task.
In nonclinical study settings, abuse has been found to be associated with disorganized use of care and perceived poorer health. Our objective was to determine whether abused youth receiving health care had similar outcomes.
This observational study, conducted between December 5, 2005 and April 13, 2007, screened for childhood abuse in 532 young people seeking services at a primary care clinic. The setting was a New York City young people's free health clinic. Participants were aged 12-24 years, recruited during a visit, mostly female (86%), Latino or black (94%), and currently in school or college (79%). Exclusions included not being fluent in English or having difficulty understanding the study/consent process.
Health care use (routine vs urgent care) in the prior 12 months and perceived health status were measured using the Health Service Utilization Scale. Potential demographic covariates were controlled for, as was depression (using the Beck Depression Inventory for Primary Care—Fast Screen). A total of 54% disclosed abuse. Compared with those who were not abused, those reporting sexual abuse had 1.4 times greater odds of choosing both urgent and routine care over routine care only. Those reporting any type of abuse had lower odds of selecting urgent care only over routine care. No association was found between childhood abuse and perceived health status.
In contrast to studies conducted among youth in nonclinic settings, in this study childhood abuse was not associated with health care usage patterns or with poorer perception of health. Further research is needed regarding the impact receiving health care has on perceived health and health care use in abused youth. Annals of Global Health 2017;0:000-000

Swinton Foundation Prize
November 14, 2014 ·	by chrishallrealtime ·	in Uncategorized
Yorkshire-based artist and Swinton Foundation Award winner at New Lights 2013 Christopher Hall is to unveil a new piece of work painted especially for the historic Swinton Park country estate in Masham. Christopher was the first artist to win the prestigious Swinton Foundation Award at the New Lights Art Prize for artists under 35, which took place at the Mercer Gallery, Harrogate in 2013 . Chris' work was selected by judges for the prize from 50 pieces in the exhibition and after winning the prize – which included a weekend stay at the luxury Swinton Park hotel, he was asked to produce a new piece of work inspired by Yorkshire locations for the permanent collection at Swinton.
In einer Zauberstunde (One Enchanted Hour), 2014, Oil on canvas, 71 x 46 x 5cm
Christopher Hall's work is known for its subtle use of colour and artistic treatment of contemporary subjects. The painting he has produced for Swinton Park is inspired by the house and gardens of the nearby Harewood House located in Leeds, West Yorkshire. The finished painting entitled, "In einer Zauberstunde (One Enchanted Hour)" will hang in the Harewood Suite, one of 31 individually themed rooms at Swinton named after prominent Yorkshire locations. Chris said:
"It was a real honour to have my work on display at the Mercer Gallery, and winning the Swinton Foundation Award at New Lights was fantastic. I was invited to mount an exhibition of my work at Swinton in 2014 and paint a picture for the Swinton Collection based on the name of the room in which I stayed. Harewood seemed appropriate as I live and work in Leeds and it is a place I have visited many times (…) For this painting I have taken inspiration from many sources including the impressive gardens and sculptures at Harewood House, The Magic Flute and the techniques employed by Gustav Klimt in his late, lesser-known landcape works (…) I have enjoyed the challenge of this painting and have tried to do something a little different from my usual work but something that is still recognisable as me."
Proprietor, patron and founder of the Swinton Foundation Felicity Cunliffe-Lister said:
"The Swinton Foundation Prize was an initiative designed to help emerging Northern artists establish themselves, and I am delighted that Chris is our first winner. His picture will give great pleasure to our guests in years to come."
Since winning the prestigious award Chris has been busy working on new paintings for an exhibition in 2015.
To celebrate the Swinton Prize he has produced a series of unique, numbered limited edition Harewood prints which are available to buy directly from the artist's website christopherhallart.co.uk or by clicking on the link here.

The Swinton Foundation Prize The Swinton prize, sponsored by Swinton Park Hotel, is inspired by La Colombe d'Or in France, which has a long history of supporting art and artists. Some reports say that many famous artists passed through the doors before they attained popularity, artists including Miro, Matisse, Chagall and others, often settling their bills by leaving a painting for the hotel owners.

Marital Relationships and Parenting: Intimate relations and their correlates
Ami Rokach
Published May 17, 2017 by Routledge
Published November 9, 2018 by Routledge
Book Description Table of Contents Editor(s) Instructor Resources Support Material
Romantic relationships, especially good ones, are desired of almost all humans. However, what makes such relationships good and nourishing? For the most part, it is the support and intimacy that exists within the couple, and their ability to experience life and face difficulties together.
This book is divided into two sections, one focusing on the couple and their intimate relationship, and the other on how that relationship influences their offspring. Part one examines whether sacrificing in an intimate relationship is always beneficial and whether it help strengthen the marital/couple unit? Attachment theory has had a significant influence on how we view relationships in childhood as well as in adulthood. The book sheds light on the mechanisms that mediate attachment style and the quality of the intimate relationships, exploring the relationship between one's ability to express empathy and that person's ability to offer social support to his/her partner.
The second part of the book explores what young adults think about marriage, influenced by their parental relationship; how parental relationships affect children's social experience in school; how parental approaches to children affect their sibling relationship; the parental role in childhood eating disturbances; and how the family climate affects children's loneliness.
All in all, the book affords a thorough review not only of what marital/couple intimacy is and what can affect it, but how significant it is in affecting their children, in and out of the house. The chapters in this book were originally published in the Journal of Psychology.
Introduction Part I: Marital and Intimate Relations 1. Intimacy Behaviors and Relationship Satisfaction for Cohabitors: Intimate Sacrifices Are Not Always Beneficial 2. Adult Attachment and Dyadic Adjustment: The Mediating Role of Shame 3. Humor Use in Romantic Relationships: The Effects of Relationship Satisfaction and Pleasant Versus Conflict Situations 4. Empathy and Social Support Provision in Couples: Social Support and the Need to Study the Underlying Processes 5. Adult Attachment Styles and Psychological Disease: Examining the Mediating Role of Personality Traits 6. How Does Culture Influence the Degree of Romantic Loneliness and Closeness? Part II: Parents, children, support and intimacy 7. Marriage Matters But How Much? Marital Centrality Among Young Adults 8.

Early coaching career[edit]
After graduating from Utah State Agricultural College in Logan, Motta started coaching at nearby rural southeastern Idaho at Grace, where he taught seventh grade and coached for two years before being drafted in the armed services, then returned.[1] He once said in an interview that winning the state championship (AA) at Grace in 1959 was his greatest thrill as a coach, even topping the NBA championship he won two decades later.
Motta coached at Weber State College in Ogden, Utah in the 1960s. Under the direction of Motta and assistant coach Phil Johnson, Weber State won three Big Sky Conference championships (1965, 1966, 1968). (Johnson won all three years he was head coach: 1969, 1970, 1971.)
Motta holds the unique distinction of being one of the very few coaches in the NBA who never played either high school, college, or pro basketball.
NBA coaching career[edit]
Chicago Bulls (1968–1976)[edit]
Motta was hired as head coach of the Chicago Bulls in 1968 after a six-year stint at Weber State. He replaced Johnny Kerr, who had led the team to two playoff appearances despite suppar records of 33-48 and 29-53, respectively. Motta coached the team for eight seasons, coaching 656 games, which served as nearly a third of his career games coached (1,952). From 1970 to 1974 he led the Bulls to four consecutive seasons of 50 wins or more, winning the NBA Coach of the Year Award in 1971. However this did not translate to playoff success as the Bulls won just one playoff series (doing so in 1974) in that span. However, they advanced to the Conference Finals in the 1974-75 season, beating the Kansas City Kings to play the Golden State Warriors, who beat them in seven games to advance to the finals, where that team won the NBA Finals that year. The following year, the team went 24-58. He resigned on May 28, 1976.
Washington Bullets (1976–1980)[edit]
On the same day he left the Bulls, he was hired as head coach of the Washington Bullets. The previous coach had been K. C. Jones, who had led them to a 48-34 record and a loss in the Eastern Conference Semifinals to the Cleveland Cavaliers. In his first season, the Bullets went 48-34 while advancing to the Semifinals again after beating the Cavaliers in the First Round, although they lost to the Houston Rockets in six games. The next year was the pinnacle for the team and Motta's career. They went 44-38, but they advanced all the way to the 1978 NBA Finals, where they beat the Seattle SuperSonics in seven games (with the last game in Seattle) to win the NBA championship. The following year, the team went 54-28 while winning the Atlantic Division. This was not only their sixth division title in eight years, it was also their last division title until 2017. The Bullets went to the 1979 NBA Finals, although they had to fight the full seven games in both the Semifinals and the Conference Finals, nearly blowing a 3-1 series lead to the Atlanta Hawks in the former and having to come back from a 3-1 series deficit from the San Antonio Spurs in the latter. In the Finals that year, they played the Seattle SuperSonics once again. The Bullets won Game 1 at home 99–97, but the SuperSonics won the following four games to win the NBA championship. The following year, the Bullets went 39-43, although they qualified for a playoff berth. They were beaten by the Philadelphia 76ers in two games. He resigned as head coach on May 27, 1980.
"The opera isn't over 'til the fat lady sings!"[edit]
Motta is sometimes erroneously credited with coining the celebrated phrase: The opera ain't over 'til the fat lady sings.[2] In fact, the first recorded use of the phrase was by Texas Tech sports information director Ralph Carpenter, as reported in the Dallas Morning News on 10 March 1976.[3]
During a KENS-TV broadcast of the 1978 NBA Eastern Conference semi-finals between the Washington Bullets and the San Antonio Spurs, Cook used the phrase in an attempt to encourage Spurs fans, as their team was down three games to one against the Bullets. Motta heard the broadcast and adopted his own rendition of the expression — "The 'opera' isn't over 'til the fat lady sings" — to warn Bullets fans against braggadocio.
The odds were against the underdog Bullets, and sportswriters were forecasting a grim finale, so Motta rebounded with the upbeat ostinato, "Wait for the fat lady!" The Bullets won the Eastern Conference against the Atlantic Division Champion Philadelphia 76ers, and went on to beat the Western Conference Champion Seattle SuperSonics four games to three for the 1978 NBA title.
The victory gave Washington, D.C. area fans their first professional championship team in any sport since the Washington Redskins won the National Football League title in 1942. (The basketball team played its home games in nearby Landover, Maryland.) In Motta's second year as coach, the Bullets (the Washington "Wizards", as of 1997) had become only the third team to win the NBA championship in a seventh game on the road. That 1978 championship remains the franchise's only NBA championship.
After the climactic Game 7 victory to claim the title, Motta celebrated with his team wearing a beer-soaked The Opera Isn't Over 'Til The Fat Lady Sings T-shirt.
What made the championship so great was that we weren't supposed to win it. We came a long way. Most people didn't give us a chance, but I felt all along we could. I really did. — Dick Motta [2]
In a Nov. 5, 2003 interview in the Utah Statesman, the student newspaper of his alma mater Utah State University, Motta said opera lovers were angry with him at first. "My wife said they were going to kill me when I said that." But that as time passed, Motta said, he was extended friendly invitations to a variety of events with "operatic" themes ranging from the Metropolitan Opera in New York to the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville.
Dallas Mavericks (1980–1987)[edit]
Motta was the first ever head coach of the Dallas Mavericks, hired by the team on July 16, 1980. His first team went 15-67, dead last in the league. They did not lose as many games again until 1992 when they lost 60 games. Motta's Mavericks gradually rose up in prominence, rising in finishes in the Midwest Division from 6th in the first season to 4th by the third year. His fourth season (1983-84) was the start of something big for the team, as they went 43-39 while qualifying for the playoffs for the first time ever. They defeated the Seattle SuperSonics in the First Round to advance to the Semifinals, where they lost to the Los Angeles Lakers in five games. In the following year, the Mavs went to the playoffs once again after a 44-38 season, although they lost to the Portland Trail Blazers in the First Round. They went to the Semifinals the following year after a 44-38 year and a beating of the Utah Jazz in the First Round, although it ended with another loss to the Lakers. The next season was Motta's last, and it was his best with the team as they went 55-27 and finished 2nd in the Western Conference, winning their first ever Midwest Division title (the Mavericks did not win a division title again for twenty seasons). However, they lost to the SuperSonics in the First Round in four games. Motta resigned a month after the season ended on May 20.
Sacramento Kings (1990–91)[edit]
On January 4, 1990, Motta was hired by the Sacramento Kings in the middle of the season, replacing Jerry Reynolds, who had led the team to a 7-21 record. Motta coached the Kings to a 16-38 record, while the Kings had an ultimate record of 23-59. The next season, the Kings went 25-57 while finishing dead last in the Pacific Division. The same would be true the following year, although Motta was fired after a 7-18 start on Christmas Eve in 1991.
On May 17, 1994, Dallas hired him back as coach of the team, replacing Quinn Buckner, who went 13-69. Motta led the team to a 23 game improvement with a 36-46 record. His second and final season went less successful as they went 26-56. He was reassigned from his head coach role on May 1, 1996.
Denver Nuggets (1996–97)[edit]
The Denver Nuggets hired Motta on November 26, 1996, replacing Bernie Bickerstaff, who had gotten the team to a 4-9 start. The Nuggets went into a tailspin, going 17-52 while losing 26 of their final 30 games to finish 21-61 and 12th in the Western Conference. Motta was fired on April 21, 1997.

Love the new(?) Sci-fi theme, though I think using mobile app afterwards resets the theme to the default one on desktop - browser. Is the theme coming to mobile apps soon-ish?
Yeah, I like this theme too for a change. A little bit trippy but fun.
Yes. It brings colour to the dark mode.
It should be in the mobile apps now. Sorry for the wait!
Thank you. It is a very nice addition.
