Target expands its Shipt and Drive Up services across the Midwest and Southeast
June 7, 2018 josh	0 Comments
Target this morning announced it's expanding its same-day shipping and pickup services, Drive Up and Shipt, across the Midwestern U.S. and the Southeast. The expansion will bring Shipt, its Instacart competitor for same-day grocery delivery and pickup, to more than 135 markets in the U.S. by the end of this month. Meanwhile, Target's Drive Up curbside pickup service will reach more than 600 stores in 20 states this week, as a result of the expansion.
The news follows on Target's earlier commitment to expand these services to stores nationwide by the 2018 holidays.
In total, the retailer says these current expansions will bring the shipping and pickup services to "tens of millions" of Target shoppers.
The company also offered a brief update on its other delivery and pickup services, Target Restock, a next-day essentials delivery service, and delivery of store purchases, which is available to select stores in urban markets where hauling home larger purchases without a vehicle is difficult.
Restock will reach more than 135 markets by the end of June, allowing Target online customers to stock up on household items like laundry detergent, trash bags, diapers, packaged foods, beauty and health needs, and more, then take delivery the next day. The service competes with Amazon's Prime Pantry, which quietly introduced a $4.99 monthly subscription fee earlier in 2018 for Prime members who don't want to pay the otherwise $7.99 flat shipping fee on their orders of $40 or more.
Target Restock, however, became free for Target REDcard purchases and $2.99 for all other orders back in May, undercutting Amazon.
Meanwhile, Shipt and Drive Up's availability will often overlap as the two expand to Target stores across the U.S.
Drive Up is the newer of the two, allowing customers to place orders in the Target app, then pickup in 2 hours or less. The service was piloted in Target's home market of Minneapolis-St. Paul, then rolled out to nearly 270 stores across Florida, Texas and the southeast in April.
Delivery of store purchases is not as widely available, as it's meant to fill a gap in markets Drive Up can't serve due to lack of parking – like urban Target stores. This service is now available in around 60 U.S. stores across five urban markets, allowing customers to shop the store, then take delivery of in-store purchases later the same day.
Chicago will be the first major market to have access to all four services, Target also notes.

So here's Part 3 of this special free short story mini-series.
If you haven't read part 1 yet, then frankly you've been slacking and now you have a lot of catching up to do.
I hope you're enjoying the ride. Here's today's episode. A link at the end will help you navigate to all the parts.
Majid Nasser didn't know why the lights had gone out, but he did have a flashlight. He liked to keep it by his bed. It was a large black flashlight; the type with a long metal body. He'd bought it from a market stall. Was five British pounds a lot of money to pay for such a thing? He didn't think so. And anyway, it was about to come in very useful. He switched it on and let himself out of the flat and onto the landing. Perhaps he could find someone to ask what was going on. He might even be able to make himself useful. After all, back in Syria, he'd been a qualified mechanical engineer. He knew a thing or two about getting machines to work. "There must be some sort of master switch or circuit breaker somewhere," he muttered. It would probably be hidden away somewhere. But he couldn't just go poking around without permission. He needed to check. He needed to find someone.
The landing was empty. Maybe he could ask a neighbour for help. He frowned. His English was not good. He'd been taking classes for a month, but it wasn't easy. He'd always favoured good solid numbers rather than slippery words. Still, this would be a good opportunity to try out his skills. He shone his flashlight across the landing that he shared with five other flats. He'd often passed his neighbours in the stairwell, but they'd never returned his smiles.
He tried each door in turn, knocking politely and stepping back to wait. But no one answered. He'd have to try again on another floor.
As he let himself out into the stairwell. The heavy fire door slipped from his hand and slammed behind him. He grimaced. The noise would not endear him to his neighbours. But he had a job to do. He must press on.
His flashlight was bright, but it did little to puncture the dark of the stairwell. Slowly, he climbed the stairs, and with every step the flashlight's beam sent shadows slinking across the concrete wall. It was eerie, disorientating. It was as if he was standing still and the stairs were sinking slowly into the darkness below. But what choice did he have?
Majid took a breath and pressed on. But as he watched the shadows, he missed his step and stumbled, cracking his knee against the metal railing. And as he bent forward to rub his injured leg, he dropped his flashlight and was plunged into darkness. He bent lower and ran his fingers over the filthy floor. There. His fingers brushed against the smooth metal and he grabbed the flashlight. As he stood up, he tried the switch, but of course, it was broken. He should've known that it was cheap rubbish from the moment he laid eyes on it. Cheated again. His blood rushed to his cheeks and he uttered some words that his wife would not have approved of.
My wife, he thought. My lovely wife. He sighed and stood alone in the dark and allowed himself to picture her smile. "Safiyyah," he whispered. He closed his eyes, screwed them tight shut, and took a deep breath, holding onto the metal railing for support. So beautiful she'd been, so warm. What would she make of him now, creeping up this stinking concrete staircase with graffiti on the walls? "My poor Safiyyah," he said. They'd visited the wrong house one day. That was all. Just a quiet meal shared with an old friend. A friend, it turned out, with the wrong connections. But Majid hadn't known that. It wasn't a clandestine meeting like the authorities had said afterwards. They'd done nothing wrong, nothing even remotely suspicious. But that simple fact hadn't stopped the police from storming into their home in the middle of the night. It hadn't stopped the beating, the humiliation, the torture.
Majid shook his head. It was sheer luck that he had a contact, an uncle who had some influence with the regime. Eventually the police were persuaded to let him go. But his joy was short lived. Their release orders came too late for Safiyyah.
There'd been no explanation, no word of apology, but Majid had known that he'd never see her again. His Uncle had told him to get out of the country. And why not? There was nothing left for him in Syria. No reason to stay. So he'd let himself be persuaded. His uncle had told him he'd be granted asylum in the UK. It was the only way to survive, he'd said. In the UK, he'd be safe.
Enjoying it so far? What do you think will happen in the end? Feel free to leave comments.
I'm almost sorry to leave you in suspense, but as a reader, I really enjoy a bit of suspense. I hope you do too.
I'll also be posting up the audio version and maybe a youtube video as soon as I can find time to do a proper job of it. If you know someone who'd like this story, please share it with them.
Thanks in advance for sharing, commenting and being kind enough to hang around.
I hope there will be a happy ending to this. I could easily see Majid getting into trouble for no good reason. Which I suspect happens more often, than I would like to think of.
Don't be mean to him, or I won't be able to sleep tomorrow.
Thanks for reading and commenting again. I'm afraid the ending is already written and I can't say anything without giving it away. I hope you sleep well anyway!
Fingers crossed that Majid won't get killed, at least.
Or that he's a ghost, because he's already dead, and just doesn't know it.

Editorial: Critical safety in nuclear weapons
June 27, 2017 Updated: Aug. 25, 2017 2 p.m.
The United States will need a secure and reliable force of nuclear weapons for a long time to come. But to maintain them in good form requires a sizable commitment of resources and brainpower: The nuclear weapons enterprise is a vast complex of laboratories and design and manufacturing facilities, relying on thousands of people who build and operate the planes, submarines and missiles, as well as care for the warheads. Nothing can be allowed to go wrong, but zero defects can hardly be taken for granted.
The story of a small but important laboratory at the Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico is a case in point. Known as Plutonium Facility 4, the laboratory produces and tests the grapefruit-size nuclear "pits"that are at the cores of warheads. An investigation by the Center for Public Integrity, a nonprofit, nonpartisan investigative media organization, the results of which were published in The Post on June 19, described years of safety concerns about the facility, which was ordered temporarily shut down in 2013 because of fears it was ill-equipped to prevent an accident.
On the afternoon of Aug. 11, 2011, the media organization reported, a nuclear technician positioned eight rods of plutonium inside what is called a glove box, a sealed container allowing technicians to handle the plutonium without contamination. The technician wanted to take a photograph for senior managers. Upon returning from a lunch break, a supervisor saw the rods were dangerously close together, raising the prospect of a criticality accident, an uncontrolled chain reaction in which fissionable material such as plutonium releases energy and generates a deadly burst of radiation.
On seeing the error, the supervisor ordered the technician to reach into the box and move the rods apart. This was also an error that may have increased, rather than decreased, the chances of a criticality accident. In the end, the material did not go critical, but the consequences were dire: Almost all the criticality specialists at the lab responsible for keeping workers safe decided to quit. The Center for Public Integrity reported that the lab, now slowly resuming operations, continues to suffer an acute shortage of engineers specializing in keeping the plutonium from fissioning out of control, as well as other safety issues.
This is a problem that the Trump administration should not neglect. The lab is a link in a sizable chain that must be maintained if the United States is going to carry out the ambitious trillion-dollar nuclear weapons modernization program launched in the Obama years. The Pentagon has set a long-term goal of making 50 to 80 plutonium pits a year, a torrid pace that could probably be reduced. But the safety concerns at the lab have clearly impaired this work, forcing deferral of manufacture and testing of plutonium cores, and over the longer term, that could affect the future of the arsenal.
The administration is now conducting a nuclear posture review, a good opportunity to set priorities. President Donald Trump and Congress will, hopefully, make choices about what kinds of nuclear weapons will be required in the decades ahead, and for what missions. It goes without saying that a credible deterrent force also means paying attention to safety, down to the last glove box.

Q: How can I hid S3 and CloudFront contents? I have an S3 bucket and Cloud Front distribution to deliver assets (PDF files) to my site and CMS.  I want users to be able to access the PDF, but
I noticed that if I use either the S3 or Could Front URLs that I can erase the file name (e.g., my-bucket.s3.amazonaws.com/file.pdf or cloudfront-domain-name/file.pdf) and see an XML tree of the S3 or Cloud Front that displays all the content (filenames of all the PDFs, and the S3 URL in the case of the CloudFront URL).
How can I prevent somebody from doing this?

A: make the bucket not open to public, the it wont list the contents in the bucket

ECODES has awarded the Zero CO2 emissions eco-label to the 2014 Prince Of Asturias Awards.
The EDP Foundation will provide two electric cars and a hybrid natural gas/gasoline vehicle for staff to move around during Awards Week.
Following the process initiated five years ago to reduce the environmental impact generated by its activities, the Prince of Asturias Foundation continues to work with the Ecology and Development Foundation (ECODES) to offset the carbon footprint resulting from the activities carried out during the Prince of Asturias Awards Week. This commitment has resulted in the Prince of Asturias Awards once again being awarded the Zero CO2 emissions eco-label they have boasted since 2012.
The global CO2 emissions from the activities organized by the Foundation on the occasion of the Prince of Asturias Awards Ceremony experienced an overall reduction of 114 tons between 2011 and 2013. Moreover, a greater amount of recycled paper was used in 2013 than in previous years (17 kg in 2012 versus 330 kg in 2013), as an example of the Foundation's commitment to caring for the environment in general and Asturias and its natural surroundings in particular.
In addition to the aforesaid compensation, the environmental commitment of the Prince of Asturias Foundation includes reducing its carbon footprint. Consequently, it will use two electric vehicles and one natural gas/gasoline hybrid vehicle on loan from the EDP Foundation for staff to move around the city of Oviedo this year.
EDP, the main shareholder of the Hidroeléctrica del Cantábrico power generation company, forms part of the Foundation's Prince of Asturias Board of Trustees.


Will Kymlicka is widely regarded as the most influential and original theorist of the rights and status of ethnocultural groups in liberal democracies.This volume brings together fifteen of Will Kymlicka's recent essays on nationalism, multiculturalism and citizenship.

Plot Synopsis[]
A group of Immortals quest to locate the mysterious "Source" in the near future. One member of the group, Zai Jie, breaks into a communications tower in Eastern Europe and contacts his associates to give them the location of the Source. The Guardian of the Source, who has supernatural speed, confronts and decapitates him. Reggie, another group member, discovers that the planets are moving from their orbits into a cosmic alignment.
Former Immortal Watcher Joe Dawson is called by group member Methos to find their immutual friend Duncan MacLeod. Joe finds MacLeod in a fight with the Guardian, shoots Duncan, hauls him into a truck, and drives off. They rendezvous with the others at a monastery in order to meet with an ancient being known as the Elder so they can locate the Source.
At the monastery, they meet Anna Teshemka, Duncan's mortal wife, who is having visions. The Elder meets them all as a group and tells of how, in ancient history, another group of Immortals sought the Source. Upon slaying the Guardian, the two survivors were cursed with decay, with one of them becoming the new Guardian, and the other being the Elder. The Elder tells them all to follow Anna who knows the way. She, in turn, receives a vision from the Elder. Meanwhile, the Guardian arrives and attacks Reggie and Joe Dawson on holy ground. In an effort to save Dawson, Duncan throws his katana at the Guardian, temporarily wounding him. The Guardian removes the sword from his neck and breaks it before killing Joe with the broken blade and escaping. After burying Joe, they leave to find the Source, which they have determined to be on an island in a lake in Eastern Europe.
Approaching the island, the boat's captain tells them that the "maniacs", gangs of cannibals, rule the island. After fighting locals who were poised to immolate a man to death, they obtain a van and drive to a deserted house a short distance away from where they believe the Source to be. That night, the Guardian kills Reggie by slashing him to death — the Elder had warned them that the closer they get to the Source, the weaker they would become, meaning that they would lose their immortality. Duncan has replaced his broken katana with a pair of butterfly swords. The group takes Reggie's body with them until they ultimately discover that he will not revive.
After burying Reggie, they continue on their way. They find the road blocked, and are captured by cannibals. While the cannibals are distracted by their drunken carousing, the Guardian frees Anna and forces her to accompany him to the Source. Later, Giovanni escapes and takes a sword, hoping to be "The One". Duncan frees himself and Methos, and sets off to rescue Anna. Giovanni gets recaptured, and Duncan goes in to save him. Methos arrives to assist Duncan at the last moment, and tells him he believes Duncan is "The One" due to his incorruptible nature. He rides off on a horse to distract the cannibals, allowing Duncan to chase after Anna. Giovanni, who had run off when Duncan came to his rescue, is decapitated by the Guardian.
Duncan finds Anna in a clearing by a sandy pit illuminated by starlight. The cosmic convergence is happening directly over them. The Guardian appears and challenges Duncan. Macleod finds that he now has the same speed and power as the Guardian, and manages to get past the foe to reach Anna. However, an energy barrier appears to bar his way. After continued fighting, the Guardian ends up buried chest deep in the dirt. Bound and defeated, the Guardian demands that Macleod behead him. Duncan refuses, and the Guardian vanishes in a blast of light. Before he goes, the Guardian screams that he is "cursed forever". Duncan enters the Source, qualified to do so by his pure heart. In the Source, Anna reveals that she is pregnant with their child. Duncan declares that "he is the one", meaning the child.
Alternate Ending[]
Once the Guardian vanishes, in the Russian cut Duncan takes off into the sky following Anna, before we see the two in the Source, and Anna announcing that she is pregnant, after which the movie ends. In the US cut, after the Guardian is vanquished there is a montage and another narration from Anna, who explains that the rationale for the Immortals' Game was in fact a misconception all along, and that "there can be only one" really means that only the most pure-hearted of all Immortals could claim the Source. By comparison, the Russian cut has Duncan and Methos (who, of course, survived in the end) expressing their doubts about the Game, but never explicitly invalidates it in the same way the US cut does.

Background Information and Notes[]
As early as 2001, producers of the previous film in the franchise, Highlander: Endgame, were discussing plans for a fifth film with fans at conventions.[1] Russell Mulcahy was attached to direct the film early in development. Mulcahy disagreed with Peter S. Davis and William N. Panzer on the direction of the story, as he wanted it to be a prequel focusing around the first-ever generation of immortals, thousands of years before the original Highlander, with Adrian Paul only appearing as Duncan MacLeod in a framing story. On the other hand, Panzer and Davis wanted to follow up Highlander: Endgame and have Duncan appear throughout the whole film. Eventually, Mulcahy left the production, feeling that a repeat of the events that resulted in the critical and commercial failure of Highlander II: The Quickening was about to happen.Highlander: The Source began at Dimension Films under a number of different screenwriters, including Joel Soisson and Peter Briggs, with production scheduled to begin in Lithuania in late 2005. Joel Soisson's version of the script featured Duncan MacLeod living in a gas station in the middle of the desert, next to a run-down airplane. Also in the script, MacLeod smoked, wore cowboy boots and a hat, and had a pet monkey named Connor. Peter Briggs wrote a version of the script while the project was still at Miramax. Before writing the script, Briggs re-watched all the "Highlander" movies as well as the TV series, then joined the official Highlander message boards (www.highlander-community.com) and researched what fans wanted in a sequel. He kept his identity secret, but was known to be an insider on the project. He soon became one of the most popular and respected members of the board, and remained so even after he was kicked off the project. He revealed his identity well after he was kicked off the project. It was the death of a close friend on the forum, named Eric, that sparked Briggs to finally reveal himself. Dimension Pictures originally intended to film this movie in Africa. Several early drafts are explicitly set in Africa. It was finally filmed in Lithuania around Vilnius. In July 2005, Lionsgate Films acquired the rights to the film under the title Highlander: The Journey Continues, with director Brett Leonard at the helm as director, and actor Adrian Paul in the lead role as Duncan MacLeod. Leonard described the franchise: "Highlander is an amazing ongoing story that I can bring my visual style to. Everything I have done has led me to this kind of mythical fantasy."[2] Filming began in October 2005,[3] and concluded the following December. In June 2006, Adrian Paul revealed that Highlander: The Source had been undergoing editing and visual effects work. The actor said that composer George Kallis had been brought on board to create a film score that was recorded by an 80-piece orchestra.[4]
Lionsgate had originally planned to release the film in 2006.[5] When that plan failed to work out, several release dates were listed in various places; for example, February 2007 was listed in some official The Source auctions, as well as on actress Thekla Reuten's own website, and March 2007 was listed on composer George Kallis' website. Eventually, even the official auctions began using simply a broad "First Quarter 2007" release date. As of February 14, 2007, producers Peter Davis and William Panzer of Davis/Panzer Productions, in conjunction with Lionsgate Entertainment, were editing and remixing the film.
Lionsgate finally released the film as a direct-to-TV movie, which premiered on the Sci-Fi Channel on September 15, 2007. Screenwriter Joel Soisson ultimately won a Writers Guild of America screenplay-credit arbitration, and was listed in the final U.S. release's end credits under the pseudonym of "Mark Bradley." Plans to continue the films with The Source being the first of a trilogy have since been abandoned, as Peter Davis has recently sold rights for a remake of the original film to Summit Entertainment. This company announced on May 20, 2008 that they are planning to make a new version of the 1986 film Highlander. Writers Art Marcum and Matt Holloway, who both worked on the Iron Man film will be writing the script. Peter Davis will produce the new film.[6]
Continuity[]
Upon release it was condemned as the "worst Highlander property of all time," and declared as not being part of the continuity that constituted Duncan MacLeod's adventures. The first season of audio plays by Big Finish declared the stories themselves were set between Highlander: Endgame and this film. So, while there has been great willingness from the fandom to condone the story as unofficial, the property itself (probably due to the film's failure at almost every regard) has not sanctioned any such story that contradicted that of this film.

Primera has launched a new printer that encodes EPC UHF RFID tags in disposable badges or ID cards, while printing color logos, text and a photo of an individual on the front, for use by visitors or trade show guests.
Government agencies, utility companies and trade shows are among the firms that employ RFID-enabled badges so that they can closely monitor the movements of visitors or personnel for safety and security purposes. However, most badges must be made in advance, or else they lack visual data about an individual, his or her credentials or what that person looks like.
For this use case, printer and accessories company Primera Technology has released the RX500 Color RFID Label & Tag Printer, which enables the printing and encoding of a disposable employee or visitor badge. The device can print text about an individual's ID and credentials, as well as take a color picture and print that photo on the front. In that way, companies can enable visitors or employees to have a badge printed, and also stored in back-end software, along with the badge's unique ID number, within minutes.
Primera's printed and encoded badges can work with RFID readers and antennas from companies such as Brady Corp., which provides the RFID readers some companies are installing at their facilities, to then track the movements of individuals minutes after they first arrive and check in. Brady Corp. makes identification products, including bar-code scanners and RFID readers.
Primera Technology, based in Minnesota, designs and manufactures specialized digital printers. The company announced its new color RFID-enabled printer at RFID Journal LIVE! 2018, held last month in Orlando, Fla. The RX500 is the only fully integrated, full-color, on-demand RFID label and tag printer, according to Mark D. Strobel, Primera's VP of sales and marketing. When used in conjunction with a fixed or handheld reader solution, the device enables companies to manage where individuals go, based on tag reads of their badges.
Traditionally, Primera has offered RFID encoder and printer technologies for use during marathons; its larger RX9 device could print and encode tags built into bibs worn by athletes. It also provides printers that could create RFID badges for those visiting state agencies and other locations, such as nuclear power plants. In most cases, however, the company's printers lacked the ability to print a color picture taken onsite, as each badge was created.
With the RX500, when an individual arrives at a user's facility, that person provides his or her name, company or other credentials, or shows identification. An employee can input that individual's information into the software, or simply into the printer itself, then use a camera external to the printer to take that person's picture.

Season premiere meets high expectations
Photo courtesy of Prashant Gupta/FX.
Published on January 16, 2012 at 11:39 pm
Editor's note: This review contains plot details from tonight's season premiere of FX's "Justified."
"Justified," which begins its third season tonight at 9 p.m. on FX, is a show typical of the FX brand. After all, it's a stylish, testosterone-driven crime show with plenty of "Deadwood" alumni rounding out the guest star roster (not to mention star Timothy Olyphant, who barely had time to change his wardrobe between the two shows). And after a shaky first season, it blossomed with an astounding sophomore season. "Justified's" most appealing feature has always been its deep-fried Southern setting, and its best use of that to date has been Margo Martindale's Mags Bennett, last season's antagonist and one of the best seasonal villains to ever grace the small screen.
Obviously, "Justified" is entering its third season with big expectations, and so far it continues to impress. Much of the season premiere is spent dealing with fallout from last May's violent finale, which saw several main characters shot and others dead. The premiere is smart in the way it parcels out the information about what's happened since we last saw Deputy Marshal Raylan Givens (Olyphant).
Without giving too much away, things aren't great in Harlan. Raylan is slowly recovering from his bullet wound and the Dixie Mafia is still after his head, represented by the consistently entertaining Wynn Duffy (Jere Burns), who enjoys more screen time than usual this season. Meanwhile, Boyd Crowder (Walton Goggins), Raylan's friend/nemesis, has big plans of his own, which include going into business with Raylan's father, Arlo (Raymond J. Barry).
The show's main cast remains as impressive as ever, especially Olyphant, who manages to be the most badass man on television every single week, often without lifting a finger. Even though they only share a handful of scenes together, Olyphant always works best with Walton Goggins. Their chemistry and the easy rhythms of the show's Southern-tinged dialogue make for the best scene of tonight's season premiere.
The biggest challenge facing "Justified" is finding a villain to equal Martindale's terrifying, maternal Mags, and the show has doubled down this year, giving us two new season-long villains in Neal McDonough and especially Mykelti Williamson, whose introductory scene packs one of the best monologues the "Justified" team has ever written, and even better are the show's episodic villains. While guest star information wasn't available to the press, a sadistic gunman who doesn't like to conceal his identity "because I'm too pretty" is one of the most memorable one-off villains the show has ever done, is impeccably acted and written. Almost as good is a maniacal drug dealer Raylan faces off with in the season's third episode.
What really makes "Justified" a unique program, outside of its well-rounded cast and strong writing for its villains, is its elegant, winding dialogue, packed with Southern colloquialisms and sharp wordplay that makes it a delight to listen to Givens spar with enemies and friends alike. "Justified" is a show that aimed high last season and overwhelmingly succeeded and season three promises to be more of the same captivating television.

Q: Shifting Adjusted data inside for loop so ive written the code I need and it works how its intended. The only problem I am having is removing blank rows and shifting the remaining data up before the next iteration in my for loop. If any one has a suggestion im all ears. My reasoning behind this is that once the duplicates are removed blank rows are left in their place and as a result the currentregion value changes when calculating numrow.
Option Explicit
Public Sub dup()
Dim i As Integer
Dim updater As Worksheet
Dim LastRow As Range
Dim LastColumn As Long

Dim rcell As String
Dim LastCell As Range
Set updater = Worksheets("DbVisualizer Personal")

'-----------------------------------------------------
numrow = updater.Range("A4").CurrentRegion.rows.Count
For i = 4 To numrow
    rcell = updater.Cells(i, 30)
    Set startcell = updater.Cells(i, 1)
    'Set LastRow = startcell.Offset(1, 0)
    Set LastCell = updater.Cells(i + 10, 35)
    If rcell = "Y" Then
        Else
         updater.Range(startcell.Address, LastCell.Address).RemoveDuplicates Columns:=Array(7, 17), Header:=xlNo
            End If

Volkswagen rules out cut-price sports car
German manufacturer Volkswagen will not offer a small sports car to rival the likes of the Toyota 86, Subaru BRZ and Mazda MX-5.
The brand had played on the idea of a two-seat sports car in the past, and indeed developed a concept model, the Volkswagen BlueSport concept, in 2009.
That show car has likely long-since been forgotten by the majority of people, but it's still in the minds of Volkswagen executives such as the company's head of development, Heinz-Jakob Neusser.
"You know that I have a Porsche history," Neusser said at the 2015 Frankfurt motor show, clearly suggesting he would like to see a sports car in the same vein as the BlueSport make it to market.
He went on to refer directly to that car when asked about the potential for a budget-friendly sports car from the brand.
"We have one done, and it looks really good, pretty good. It runs well. It's a mid-car engine inside. But to be honest it's not so easy to be transferred in to a positive business case because the segment, the roadster segment, is not growing all over the world," he said.
"And there are some strong players already inside this business. And when we come with a VW, additionally to that, it's not so easy for us to establish such a car into the market," he said, clearly insinuating that the Mazda MX-5 – the world's best-selling sports car – is a difficult nemesis.
However, such a car is possible, it seems, with Neusser suggesting that the BlueSport was envisaged to be built off the modular MQB platform.
Neusser said the brand is still focusing on performance models – though the form they take will likely be derivatives of existing vehicles.
"We think it's also possible to have what our core competency fields of cars, very emotional derivatives," he said.
"If you look to the Golf R for example, and we have here at the exhibition the Clubsport version of the Golf [GTI, pictured above] – this will come next year, spring next year on the market. And we do also a very sharp version of this – you will see it also next year," he said.
A very sharp version of the Golf? Sounds like the Golf R400, which Neusser has previously confirmed will make it to production with a heavily worked 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine producing as much as 294kW and 450Nm.
As for the GTI Clubsport – which has so far only been confirmed as a three-door model – it's unclear if Australia will see that model. The Golf GTI range has been simplified to be five-door only.
Neusser claimed the GTI Clubsport offers more than enough sporting intent, if not the sport rag-top body.
"I personally was with this car on the Nurburgring Nordschleife, and I can tell you, you get a lot of fun. You're missing nothing.
"So this is easier for us to enter with such a car into the market and to establish these positive sports models," he said.
That said, Neusser suggested other sporty models are on their way.
"I think you will see soon other things also from Volkswagen – but to talk about this is too early," he said.

Defect reconstruction using skin grafts and / or flaps – Skin grafts are often employed after serious injuries when some of the body's skin is damaged. Flap surgery is a piece of tissue that is still attached to the body by a major artery and vein or at its base. This piece of tissue with its attached blood supply is used in reconstructive surgery by being set into a recipient site (injured area onto which a flap or graft is placed).
Specific surgeries that may require skin grafts for healing to occur – most commonly removal of skin cancers.
Skin grafts are often employed after serious injuries when some of the body's skin is damaged. Surgical removal (excision or debridement) of the damaged skin is followed by skin grafting. The grafting serves two purposes: it can reduce the course of treatment needed (and time in the hospital), and it can improve the function and appearance of the area of the body which receives the skin graft.
There are two types of skin grafts, the more common type is where a thin layer is removed from a healthy part of the body (the donor section), like peeling a potato, or a full thickness skin graft, which involves pitching and cutting skin away from the donor section. A full thickness skin graft is more risky, in terms of the body accepting the skin, yet it leaves only a scar line on the donor section, similar to a Cesarean section scar. For full thickness skin grafts, the donor section will often heal much more quickly than the injury and is less painful than a partial thickness skin graft.
Flap surgery is a piece of tissue that is still attached to the body by a major artery and vein or at its base. This piece of tissue with its attached blood supply is used in reconstructive surgery by being set into a recipient site (injured area onto which a flap or graft is placed). Sometimes, the flap is comprised of skin and fatty tissue only, but a flap may also include muscle from the donor site (the area from which the flap is raised).
If you have suffered tissue loss over any area of your body, you may be a candidate for flap surgery. This type of reconstructive plastic surgery is typically used to repair defects left behind after traumatic injury or mastectomy. Flap techniques can also produce excellent results in facial reconstruction after skin cancer excision.
There are as many types of flaps as there are types of injuries which might require the use of a flap. Flaps come from many different locations, and are used in many different ways to accomplish the desired result. However, flaps used for reconstructive plastic surgery can be broken down into two main categories.
In a pedicled flap, tissue is freed and rotated or moved in some manner from an adjacent area to cover the defect, yet remains attached to the body at its base and has blood vessels that enter into the flap from the donor site. The type of flap movement required determines which of the four main types of local flaps is used.
In a free flap, tissue from another area of the body is detached and transplanted to the recipient site and the blood supply is surgically reconnected to blood vessels adjacent to the wound.
