The Best Way To Make Minecraft Fireworks
How do you make fireworks in Minecraft? Whether you’re celebrating with your pals after a profitable mining expedition, propelling your self by the sky as you soar over the land using Elytra, or including serious style factors to your crossbow combat, Minecraft fireworks are incredibly fun to use. You additionally don’t have to fret about your Minecraft pets getting frightened, though the sound of fizzing and explosions may remind you of all these disastrous creeper encounters.
Minecraft fireworks won’t leave your Minecraft castle in ruins, although they will injury any creature in their path, so use them with care - or with reckless abandon; Minecraft is a sandbox sport in spite of everything. The basic firework rocket isn’t a lot to write dwelling about, but with using firework stars and dyes, you'll be able to create a gorgeous show to wow everybody in your Minecraft server - and the quite a few combinations available can create 10.Eight duovigintillion doable unique fireworks.
No want to make use of up resources experimenting; we’re right here to elucidate exactly what every firework ingredient does, so you possibly can craft the exploding rockets you’ve all the time dreamed of.
How you can craft Minecraft fireworks
To craft a firework rocket, you need - at minimum - one paper and one gunpowder. You possibly can add up to 2 further gunpowder to increase the flight duration of the rocket - that’s how far it’ll soar.
However, in order for you these fairly explosion results, you’ll need to include a firework star. The creation of the firework star is the place you get to customise your firework’s explosion. To make a firework star, mix gunpowder with up to eight dyes to set the explosion colour. It's also possible to add glowstone dust to create a twinkle effect, and/or a diamond to create a trail impact after the explosion. Both of those results may be added to the identical star.
It's also possible to customise the form of your firework explosion. Adding a hearth cost will create a big, spherical explosion; a gold nugget will make a star-shaped explosion; a head of any sort will create an explosion in the form of a creeper face, and a feather will create a burst form explosion. Nevertheless, just Minecraft crafting of those shape modifiers may be utilized in your firework star.
As soon as you’ve created your star, you can add an extra ‘fade to colour’ impact by combining the star with any dye.
The best way to create a Minecraft firework display
Now that you’ve acquired your fireworks, you could also be questioning learn how to set them off to create the ultimate show. When you employ a firework on a block, it mechanically fires - so if you wish to be more precise with your timings and trigger the firework from a secure distance, you’ll want to place your fireworks inside dispensers, and use redstone to activate them. They may shoot in the direction they’re fired, but you can create diagonal trajectories by firing them via flowing water. YouTuber DigMinecraft has created a simple tutorial explaining how to arrange a basic firework show in Minecraft - check out his video beneath.
Using Minecraft Fireworks with Elytra
Fireworks are a improbable solution to propel your self across the sky when utilizing Elytra - using one while flying boosts you within the direction you’re going through. The duration of the increase varies depending on how a lot gunpowder was used within the creation of the rocket.
Crucially, you’ll need to leave out the firework star when crafting fireworks for this purpose, as the explosion results they create will harm you. Ouch. So long as you don’t get your rockets mixed up, you’ll be free to fortunately zoom by means of the sky, exploring the far-flung reaches of your Minecraft seed. Simply ensure that you’ve packed sufficient fireworks for the return journey.
That’s every part you should get started creating aerial artwork with Minecraft fireworks - why not take a look at our information to Minecraft shaders and Minecraft texture packs to make your present much more spectacular?

Private Rentek Dialysis Center
- 0 (0 reviews)
- 1,001 m from center
One of the best dialysis centers in Istanbul Private Rentek Dialysis Center has been in service since 2004. In the center with easy access, 30+1 state-of-the-art devices are used. Services are provided according to the Hall system. Ultra-Pure dialysis water and powder bicarbonate are used in dialysis treatment. The center has a comprehensive and equipped laboratory that can perform all monthly and emergency examinations of patients.
Dialysis is used to treat kidney patients. Blood is passed through a dialysis membrane with a very large surface area. Small molecules, which are metabolic waste, pass through the membrane. Because the protein molecules, which are the necessary components of blood plasma, are very large, they do not pass through the membrane and remain in the blood. It is the process of removing waste and excess fluid accumulated in the body of people whose kidneys do not work through a semi-permeable membrane. As a membrane, either the patient's natural abdominal membrane or an artificial membrane is used. On one side of this semi-permeable membrane is the patient's blood, and on the other side is a liquid called dialysate. Waste materials and excess liquid are removed from the body by passing to the clean side.
Cards accepted at this hospital:

This tidy and exceedingly well-maintained cottage is the beloved summer residence of a local family who has enjoyed its views and waterfront for years. Briar Nook brings with it the particulars that make a Maine Coast vacation all that it promises to be: a green lawn running down to the water, warm rocks that slope into the water, a wharf and float with a mooring and just about the most serenely gorgeous views you will find. The cottage itself is a wonderful retreat with an eye to what makes a summer cottage what it is and modern conveniences. The one level floor plan flows nicely with all common living spaces oriented towards the water. At the front of the house is a wonderful deck with a retractable awning for when shade is needed from the sun. There are two bedrooms in the main house and a charming bunkhouse, just 20 feet or so from the main house, provides sleeping space with its own views, electricity and two twin beds.
Bremen is 6 miles from Damariscotta, 20 miles to Thomaston and 25 miles to Rockland.

Michigan State's Mark Dantonio: Jalen Hunt cleared to play, Tre'Von Morgan hurt
EAST LANSING — Jalen Hunt and Tre’Von Morgan are at Michigan State.
Only one, however, will be able to be on the field right away.
Coach Mark Dantonio said late arrival Morgan, a true freshman from Massillon, Ohio, has a “knee issue.” Dantonio said the 6-foot-6, 218-pound wide receiver will be sidelined “for two months or so” but has reported to camp after ironing out qualifying concerns the 13th-year coach mentioned when practice opened Aug. 1.
Hunt, the defensive lineman who had signed a letter of intent to Iowa but was told he did not qualify academically, was in shorts and wearing No. 89 at MSU’s practice Monday. The 6-3, 260-pound 3-star recruit from Belleville announced he was joining the Spartans on Friday.
“When he got a release, we reached out to him,” Dantonio said of Hunt, whose initial plan was to attend Iowa Western Community College after being turned down at Iowa. “He came up on one of the days that you were allowed to come up at the end of July. I sat and talked to him for a little bit, and he made the decision to come here. He’ll be with the ’20 class, we’ll include him in our ’20 class, and he’ll be here right now. So it’s exciting. He’s an athletic guy who we recruited – a big ,firm guy who gives us great depth.”
An team spokesman said Hunt is eligible to play this season but he is not on scholarship.
MSU held its first scrimmage Friday, won by the offense, 38-37, but there was at least one temporary casualty. Dantonio said true freshman Anthony Williams got “dinged up a little bit” and would sit out Monday’s practice.
“Running backs look good, had good scrimmages,” Dantonio said. “Offense actually won the scrimmage, so that was I guess a noticeable thing there. Elijah Collins looked good, (Connor) Heyward looked good – all four of them really looked good. Anthony looked good.”
Dantonio also said QB Brian Lewerke looked “sharp” in the scrimmage, and the offense won it by scoring a touchdown on fourth-and-17 on the final play to win it.
“I thought the quarterbacks all played well,” Dantonio said. “I thought Lewerke had a good day, (Rocky) Lombardi a good day, and I think Theo Day is really coming along.”
Dantonio added that true freshman J.D. Duplain has moved to offensive line after spending his early enrolled spring at defensive tackle.

PESHAWAR: A suicide bomber killed a child and wounded five other people after he was identified and shot at in a northwestern Pakistan market on Friday, officials said.
A would-be suicide bomber was identified as he tried to enter the crowded market in Darra Adam Khel, a tribal town near Peshawar, they said.
Tribesmen tried to seize him but he blew himself up when he was shot at, killing a 12-year-old boy and wounding five people, a senior administrative official said.
“It was a failed suicide attack. One child was killed and five people were injured when he blew himself up,” Masood Khan Afridi, a senior police officer told AFP.
Shahidullah Khan, a senior administrative official, told AFP that the bomber was on foot and was trying to enter the market.
“The local tribesmen fired on him after identification but he blew himself up,” he added.
On Thursday, a suicide bomber targeting a convoy of JUI-F chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman killed at least 12 people in the northwestern town of Charsadda.
A similar attack on Wednesday killed 10 people in the town of Swabi, also in the northwest.
More than 4,000 people have died in suicide and bomb attacks throughout Pakistan since 2007.
Taliban and al Qaeda-linked militants launch almost daily attacks across northwest Pakistan and the tribal belt that Washington has branded the most dangerous place on earth.

...schedule of rates and where my brain is at for now...
$3.00 per square foot? But isn't the $ 30 for 10,000 sqft. including a chunk for transportation and to unload/load equipment?
I'm totally new at this, but I'm struggling to get a guideline formula.
I'm thinking the increase of sq. footage should discount for the fact that I am remaining at one location; i.e., charge $30 for first 10,000, then apply a rate for every 1,000 sqft after that.
for example, 20,000 sqft:
first 10,000 = 30.00
additional 10,000 @ 1.50/sqft = 15.00
Of course, my numbers are just for example. I'm trying to figure this out.
The formula I'm playing actually starts @ $25 for up to 5,000 sqft.
Ideally, I think a rate schedule should have a higher sqft rate up to one half acre, and then a better discounted rate for sqft from 1/2 to 1 acre plus.
So I might figure $25 for first 5,000, plus 1.50 sqft for up to 1/2 acre, then 1.25 for sqft after that.
But this seems crazy. Maybe I should just find out going rates in my area, figure a 1/4, 1/2, and 1 acre guideline rate, and then walk the property and go from there.

Earlier today, Christine Quinn gave a press conference on food stamps in the Bronx. I didn’t make it, but a few hours later her office sent
out to me a video of the event.
As a meta-news side-note, this is a further bit of evidence of YouTube becoming an important part of local politics. This has already happened at the level of presidential and and high-profile statewide races — Macaca! — while lawmakers in the city have generally been slow to adapt.
But it’s changing. Quinn, a likely mayoral candidate, has quietly created her own Youtube channel, where her staff uploads videos of her press conferences. Bill Thompson, also likely to run for mayor, has been doing that for some time. And, of course, the first city official to start doing this, to my memory, is Betsy Gotbaum.
As it becomes more common, it will become more necessary, so I expect to see a lot more of these clips.
And here’s a random prediction: I’ve been muttering to a few people that, eventually, officials looking for camera time will start proactively posting statements for reporters to upload. We’ll see.
Also: The substance of today’s announcement (and video) is that 600,000 households in the city are eligible for food stamps, and 100,000 of those households are in the Bronx, according to Quinn. In response, "Those individuals and their households will now get personal outreach from the City of New York – a letter, a pamphlet, urging them to enroll in food stamps," Quinn says.

Written by Rachel Baum ’06
Career AssistantPaula Justich,’76, went on to a career in arts administration, but her route was not a direct one. She graduated from Lawrence with a major in government and took a few years to figure out exactly what kind of career she wanted to pursue. When she first came to Lawrence, she planned on becoming a lawyer. Her plan changed because, in her opinion, too many lawyers lose sight of the people they are trying to help and focus on money instead. She didn’t want this to happen to her so she focused on other things in school as well as her major such as writing movie reviews for the Lawrentian and Asian history.
Soon after graduating, she moved to the Chicago area and worked in a number of corporate jobs. Unfortunately, during the 1970s, the idea of women in the professional work force was new and not entirely welcome. Justich felt that her position in the corporate scene was not at all comparable to that of a man’s. She was constantly placed in clerical jobs for which she was overqualified, and the work wasn’t satisfying her needs as a person. Something good came of her time in the corporate clerical world, however. Paula gained business skills that would benefit her later.
During those first years out of college, Justich was also drawn into Chicago’s thriving theater scene. She spent a great deal of time as a patron of the arts. Eventually, she decided to enter the field of arts administration to be closer to the subject that she loved. She attended Columbia College in Chicago and earned her Masters of Arts Administration. Historically artists with no business background used to manage the business side of the arts and struggled because they lacked important skills. Now, people like Justich, who are not artists themselves but rather trained administrators who care about the arts, manage art companies. After much training and then work in more theater related jobs, Justich became the managing director of a non-profit company called Forecast Public Artworks located in Minneapolis, MN.
Justich gains much satisfaction from her occupation despite its heavy workload and only passable salary. Her job includes directing all the programs offered by Forecast. One of Forecast’s clients is the Science Museum of Minnesota. When this museum wanted to put in an artistic, scientifically themed atrium, Forecast coordinated the artists who would perform the job. Forecast also funds and organizes other kinds of public art including public dance.
In addition to her graduate degree, Ms. Justich attended the Minneapolis College of Art and Design to develop desktop publishing skills. Paula uses these skills to develop effective advertising for Forecast and manage the “Public Art Review,” Forecast’s biannual magazine, as well as their two active websites. She also runs Public Art Affairs, which awards stipends to Minnesota artists for their projects.
Paula has been working for Forecast for over a decade and is content with her position. Her advice for current Lawrentians hoping to pursue a career in arts administration is to pace oneself. When she started on the job she had trouble managing her time and was working ten to fourteen hour days. Now she rarely works over nine hours a day. She believes there is a high burn out rate because one could easily work 20-hour days and still have more work to get done. Paula Justich has found a balance in her life over the years. She now makes sure she keeps her work life and home life separate by living just across the Minnesota border in Wisconsin. Justich sums up her feelings about her work by saying she enjoys “facilitating the arts” even if she does not feel very artistic herself. She is a prime example of a Lawrentian finding a niche in a not so apparent field.

Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine trials offered a peek of light in a pitch-black year, and Sally Susman, who oversees all outward-facing communications for the pharma giant, helped the company get the message out. he and her team handled the global media, the online universe, the FDA, anxious investors, doubters, haters and competitors—not to mention a president who politicized the company’s work. “The pandemic has underscored the urgency of compelling communications that are transparent, inclusive and humble,” Susman told Observer in a statement. Even lucrative, day-of-announcement stock sales by Susman and Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla got smoothed over, with a spokesperson claiming the sales were set many moons ago.

I put the mental music cloud on shuffle. ‘Fortunate Son’ by CCR was one of several songs that came up.
I know it from its initial release in 1969, when I was thirteen. CCR is an awesome band that gave us a hellabunch of memorable hits like ‘Suzie Q’, ‘Heard It Through the Grape Vine,’ Who’ll Stop the Rain,’ and ‘Run Through the Jungle’. Many of later generations know this ‘Fortunate Son’ because it’s been part of so many movies and video games about war or that era in America’s history, or from one of the many other performers who have covered the song. ‘Fortunate Son’ reflected the country’s mood as the Vietnam War raged and body bags came back. It also mirrors the trend that the world’s wealthy and powerful start and sustain war, but it’s the poor, minorities and those beguiled by their desire to do their patriotic duty that end up carrying the burden.
I was one of those last, joining in 1974, serving until 1995.

I have got a spare carb in the garage which is doing nothing and is the same type that is on my car currently, i was wondering how hard is it to rebuild the carb and what will i need to do it, the carb currently if it has not been done before will have done 106k so could do with an overhall.
Has anyone done it before?

You need a genuine SU carb re-build kit. There are different levels of kit, dependig on how much of the carb needs replacing. If it's that old then it may well need the full works including throttle spindle bushes, but it might not. It there's any radial lash at all in the spindle then it needs bushing. Buy the kit, strip the carb down and send the main castings to SU for them to clean and fit the bushes, then you get it back and build it up. It'll be exactly like a brand new carb at a fraction of the cost, and it's quite easy to do if you have even the slightest mechanical ability. SU's are brilliant in their simplicity, so there's nothing complex about building one up provided you have all the right parts for a Mini installation.

We are a young couple, in our 30`s, who would like to spend our honeymoon in the Maldives and Sri Lanka in October. We would like to start our trip on a beach destination and then move to a cultural destination. Our plans, so far, are as follows:
- Depart to Malé in October 7th, from Brazil
- Arrival in Malé in October 9th
- 6 nights in the Maldives: we would like your help to find a nice hotel. We would like to stay in a very relaxing place, on a water bungalow: Our options, so far, are: Four Seasons Hotels (Landaa Giraavaru or Kuda Huraa), Cocoa Island by Como, W Hotel, Gili or Baros. What would you recommend?
- 8 nights in Sri Lanka (we could probably do 9 nights; we prefer to stay in fewer places):
2 nights in Vil Uyana Hotel
2 nights in Kandy at the Kandy House
2 nights in the Tea Trails Hotel
2 nights in the Dutch House or the Amangalle Hotel
Would you skip Vil Uyana and split the 8-9 nights in Kandy, Tea Trails and the Dutch House?
- 2 nights in Dubai or our way back: any recommendations?
Thank you so much!

When Carl DeMaio lost the mayor's race in November, folks speculated that he'd challenge Scott Peters for the 52nd congressional seat. After DeMaio's February op-ed in the Wall Street Journal urging Congress to get involved in pension reform and a May 1 Roll Call article about a GOP-commissioned poll that put DeMaio ahead of Peters, it was no longer a question of if he'd run, but when he'd announce. Step One: Make-over the ol' website. The "Issues" pull-down on carldemaio.com now includes matters more appropriate for a Congressional candidate. Via archive.org, here's what carldemaio.com/issues looked like on March 10 (the last time the site was crawled):
Now, the page has been stripped of content, but the menu's been updated:
Oh, and the website's list of upcoming events includes a campaign kick-off on June 26-and fundraisers scheduled through August. So, there ya go. Whether the Roadmap to Recovery goes national remains to be seen.

10 Car’s To Watch Out for at the 2021 Chicago Auto Show
The 2021 Chicago Auto Show is underway right now. It is being held between July 15-19 at McCormick Place south of Downtown, Chicago. Pretty much all of the mainstream auto manufacturers will be present at the venue. Considering how the EV trend has really taken off, there will also be a slew of electric vehicles on display, from legacy and EV manufacturers alike. The Chicago Auto Show is the first major auto show to return since the pandemic began, and these are the cars to watch out for!
The Virtual Fordzilla P1 Racecar Now Lives In the Real World!
Ford picked the Goodwood Festival of Speed as the venue for the public debut of a full-scale model of the extreme Team Fordzilla P1 racing vehicle. The concept was unveiled alongside other all-electric products from the automaker, including the Mustang Mach-E GT as well as the Mustang Mach E 1400.
Must-See Cars At the 2021 Goodwood Festival of Speed
I just finished watching the Duke of Richmond, the founder of the Goodwood Festival of Speed, take to the wheel of the brand new Lotus Emira, which just launched earlier this week, up the legendary hill climb. I am glad to report that the Festival of Speed is back for 2021 after a gap of nearly 18 months.
The Festival of Speed or FOS is a 4-day event that takes place around about the same time as the British Formula 1 Grand Prix every summer. It is a hill climb event and is touted by many as the celebration of motorsport. Every kind of car and motorcycle imaginable takes part in the event from all over the world. Be it vintage cars, old F1 cars, Rally Cars to the latest Electric Hypercars, Goodwood has you covered.
The Goodwood Festival is also famed for bringing out rare and distinctive cars from private garages to race on the legendary course. There’s also a retro fairground, a revival auto show with scores of vintage cars, a revival cinema, and a Bonhams exclusive auction.
Here are some of the most anticipated cars to watch out for at this year’s event.
The Goodwood Festival of Speed Has Finally Been Confirmed for 2021
Good News! After all three events were canceled last year due to the pandemic , the Goodwood Festival of Speed is back for 2021. This year celebrates some of Motorsports greatest legends, and you will get to watch some of the best cars and motorcycles take part as they tackle the 1.1-mile track come July. You can also tune in live for all the action.
2020 Ferrari F8 Tributo
The 2020 Ferrari F8 Tributo is an entry-level supercar that the Maranello-based company launched in 2019. The F8 Tributo replaced the 488 GTB, introduced in 2015, but it’s essentially a mid-cycle upgrade and not a brand-new car. The supercar replaces the 488 GTB in the same way that the 812 Superfast and GTC4Lusso replaced the F12berlinetta and FF, respectively, with the facelift accompanied by a nameplate change.
The upgrade is rather significant as far as design goes. Not only sporting new features front and rear, but the F8 Tributo also boasts more aggressive aerodynamics, which are based on the track-ready 488 Pista. The F8 also shares underpinnings with the Pista and generates the same 710 horsepower. The F8 Tributo arrives just in time for the facelifted Lamborghini Huracan Evo and the relatively new McLaren 720S. Let’s find out how they compare.
Updated 03/08/2018: We update this review with a series of new images taken during the 2019 Geneva Motor Show.
2018 Lotus Exige Type 49 and Type 79
The third-generation Lotus Exige is six years old as of 2018 and a bit long in the tooth. A brand-new model is underway, but the Brits are keeping things interesting for the current model by building all sorts of special editions. At the 2018 Goodwood Festival of Speed, Lotus paid tribute to two of its most iconic race cars with the Exige Type 49 and Exige Type 79.
Both cars celebrate the company’s past glory in Formula One. The Exige Type 49 marks 50 years since Graham Hill won both the drivers’ and constructors’ championships in the Type 49, while the Exige Type 49 marks 40 years since Mario Andretti did the same with the Type 79. The former race from 1967 through 1970 and won two championships, while also scoring podiums in each season. The Type 79’s career was a bit shorter, from 1978 through 1979.
Both Exige models were crafted by Lotus Exclusive, the brand’s recently established bespoke division. Let’s find out more about them below.
Continue reading to learn more about the Lotus Exige Type 49 and Type 49.
A Deep Look Into Aston Martin’s Mid-Engined History
Aston Martin is known as a maker of exquisite and refined grand tourers, long-legged cars that offer enough panache to satisfy Ian Fleming’s James Bond on many an occasion. You could say Aston Martin knows every trick there is to know when it comes to building a front-engined GT car and that’s why they’re now looking to build more and more cars with the engine behind the seats. But the Valkyrie, the new Vanquish, and the AM-RB 003 aren’t the first of their kind in Aston Martin’s history.
When you think of any DB model from Aston Martin, you imagine an elegant two-door tourer ready for long journeys with a sumptuous and well-appointed interior and a feisty engine in front of the windshield. The company’s one and only Le Mans winner, the DBR1, was also front-engined as was the futuristic brick-like Lagonda luxury sedan from the ’70s. But, then, in the ’80s, when Aston Martin returned to sports car racing, it did so with a mid-engined car. This effectively heralded a new breed of Aston Martins, one that has stayed away from the public highways up until now but one that’s interesting to look into nonetheless.
2020 Pininfarina PF0 Battista
Pininfarina, the company best well known for its association with Ferrari, wants to break free from under the shade of the Prancing Horse and make a name for itself as the builder of the fastest car to come out of Italy. The name of this car? Battista, like the name of the company’s founder. The numbers that should firmly plant this car on the map? 1,900 horsepower and 1,696 pound-feet, a 0 to 62 mph sprint in less than two seconds, and a top speed of about 250 mph. All done by an EV powertrain that’s capable of running over 300 miles between charges.
Reading those numbers it’s easy to dismiss the Pininfarina Battista as just another ludicrous car that will never actually become reality. Something like the Devel Sixteen, the Arabian hypercar that packs a V-16 engine that’s capable of 5,000 horsepower. That one was supposedly slated to start final testing this month. Or the equally insane Vector WX-8, Jerry Wiegert’s project that should’ve brought his once proud company back from the dead. He said 12 years ago that a 10-liter, twin-turbocharged, V-8 will power the car and that it will crank out 1,850 horsepower. More recently, Wiegert sold his two WX-3 prototypes to fund the project.
But the Battista is a more serious offering than both those elusive creations. First off, Pininfarina was bought by Mahindra four years ago for $190.6 million and, as we know, Mahindra has the financial power to throw cash at a project like this if so desires. With Pininfarina aiming to build just 150 of these, 50 dedicated to each of its three markets: Europe, America, and the Middle-East, we can expect people to actually come forth with pre-orders once it gets revealed at Geneva in a couple of weeks.
Check Out the Lincoln Zephyr Reflection Concept Freshly Revealed in Shanghai
Being a purist at heart, it’s hard to condone the new futuristic design philosophies that most EVs follow. There are a few exceptions once in a while, like the Nio ET7, which looks absolutely stunning. But, it looks like the ET7 now has competition in the looks department. Lincoln has somehow managed to strike a perfect balance in every aspect and has come out with this gorgeous EV called the Zephyr Reflection. Previewed at the 2021 Shanghai Auto Show, the Zephyr Reflection has got us drooling and we can’t get enough of it. Unfortunately, it won’t be coming Stateside as it is a China-exclusive model.
This Is the Hongqi S9 - A Chinese Supercar With 1400 HP That Will Be Produced In Italy
Thinking about how Chinese cars looked one decade ago, the Hongqui S9 seems to have arrived from another planet. The S9 was revealed on Monday at the Shanghai Auto Show and believe it or not, it was penned down by the same designer responsible for the Audi R8.
2022 Genesis Electrified G80
Hyundai’s premium brand Genesis was born just a few years ago and is already bringing some very competitive models to the market. Initially focused purely on luxury sedans and, more recently, SUVs, the brand is now officially stepping into the EV market. Now, the company has revealed the all-electric Genesis eG80 at the 2021 Shanghai International Automotive Industry Exhibition (Auto Shanghai 2021), and it is the first Genesis model to be unveiled outside of Korea.
2022 Mercedes-Benz EQB (Euro Spec)
Mercedes arrived at the 2021 Shanghai Auto with a new EV called the EQB. The company revealed the EQB less than a week after it took the wraps off another EV, the EQS. The EQS drew some polarizing opinions for its looks, but there’s no denying that it is a strong, competent product. Now, the automaker has unveiled this crossover that will hit the Chinese markets first and will then be launched in Europe later this year. It will arrive Stateside sometime in 2022.
2021 Toyota BZ4X BEV Concept
Toyota has revealed the bZ4X electric crossover concept. Kicking off the new ‘Beyond Zero’ series for the Japanese automaker, this concept looks to be a spiritual successor to the RAV4. More than the product itself, this reveal was all about the bZ series of vehicles, a prefix that will be used on the company’s upcoming electric vehicles. The bZ4X is based on a BEV platform that Toyota has co-developed with Subaru, and it will feature an all-wheel-drive system.
2021 Audi A6 E-Tron Concept
Audi is arguably the most active automaker that’s electrifying its lineup. Barely a few days after debuting the Q4 e-tron SUV and Sportback, the German automaker has now given us a preview of the A6 e-tron, the electric version of the luxury namesake sedan. Teased at the 2021 Auto Shanghai, the A6 e-tron concept showcases what to expect from the production version of the EV and also goes on to show that Audi is not getting rid of sedans anytime soon.
This is the Chinese Market Ford EVOS And, Probably, The Fusion In America and the Mondeo in Europe
The 2021 Auto Shanghai revealed many interesting studies, among which the Ford EVOS. There has been a steadily increasing trend of sedan models, becoming crossovers and SUVs. Although the EVOS looks like a blend of a station wagon and an SUV, it is believed that this will be the next Ford Fusion (in the US) and Ford Mondeo (Europe). The EVOS is the first Ford product, largely developed by the brand’s team in China.
2016 Apollo Arrow
The automaker once known as Gumpert Sportwagenmanufaktur GmbH has received a new lease on life thanks to wealthy investors at a holding company named Ideal Team Ventures Limited. What’s that matter? Well, Ideal Team has poured resources into the automaker, effectively allowing it to rebirth itself with a new product. That product debuted at the 2016 Geneva Motor Show as the Apollo Arrow – a 1,000-horsepower hypercar ready to compete in the exclusive league of built-to-order collectibles.
The automaker, now called Apollo Automobil GmbH, appears ready to redefine itself as a legitimate threat to other hypercar builders. "I have always been a big fan of the Gumpert Apollo. It was, in my opinion, a thoroughbred hypercar that stood out among its competitors," said Norman Choi, owner of Ideal Team Ventures Limited. "I’m excited to have the opportunity to revive, reinvent and rebuild this legendary, record-breaking vehicle.”
Though the company went through a restructuring, Roland Gumpert continues to act as Apollo’s CEO and chief engineer. "The Arrow is truly magnificent – it is the perfect combination of German engineering and automotive art," Gumpert says about the car. "Although it’s still a prototype, we are confident that the Arrow will achieve the unimaginable."
This marks a new chapter for Apollo, thanks to its new investor, fresh engineering practices, and as we’ll see with the Arrow, a new design style that mimics the natural world.
Continue reading to learn more about the Apollo Arrow.
2020 Ginetta Akula
British race- and sports-car builder Ginetta attended the 2019 Geneva Motor Show with its latest creation, the Akula. Named after the Russian word that translates to “shark,” the Akula looks every bit like an asphalt predator. The Akula combines an attention-grabbing design with a low-weight carbon-intensive construction and Le Mans-derived performance equipment. That’s an excellent formula for a niche model that’s looking to strike down the titans of its segment. Can the Ginetta Akula do it? We’re going to find out.
2019 Ferrari 488 Pista Spider
The Ferrari 488 Pista Spider joined the 488 lineup at the 2018 Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance as a replacement for the 458 Speciale Aperta. The Ferrari 488 Pista replaced the iconic 458 Speciale, and it’s the first of its kind to hide a turbocharged engine under the hood.
Just when we thought that Ferrari settled for the Aperta name for its convertible sports car, Maranello returned to using the old Spider badge. But this is arguably a small issue here, as the Pista Aperta is just as exciting as its coupe sibling, but with extra headroom when the top is removed. The 50th drop-top model built by Ferrari since 1947, the Pista Spider made its global debut in the United States, where convertible sports cars are more popular than everywhere else in the world. Let’s have a closer look at the latest member of the 488 family in the review below..
Continue reading to learn more about the Ferrari 488 Pista Spider.
2021 Koenigsegg Gemera
The 2021 Koenigsegg Gemera is a two-door, four-seat hypercar developed by the Swedish company that gave us the Agera, Regera, and Jesko. But unlike its siblings, and despite having only two doors, the 2021 Gemera offers seating for four. And it does so via four equally comfortable seats, so it’s not just a regular grand tourer. The 2021 Gemera boasts a hybrid drivetrain under the skin, comprising three electric motor and a three-cylinder engine. As shocking as it may sound, the three-cylinder generates 600 horsepower, making it the most powerful of its kind in production, and works on a variety of fuels, including CO2-neutral methanol. Overall, the hybrid drivetrain pumps out an amazing 1,700 horsepower and 2,581 pound-feet of torque. Let’s find out more about the world’s first practical megacar - aka Mega GT - in the review below.
2020 Lamborghini Sian FKP 37
The 2020 Lamborghini Sian is a hybrid supercar that the Italian firm unveiled ahead of the 2019 Frankfurt Motor Show. Powered by a V-12 gasoline engine and an electric motor, the Sian is Lambo’s first mass-produced hybrid. However, the supercar is limited to only 63 units, so it’s actually a preview of things to come, like an electrified successor to the Aventador.
Design-wise, the Sian stands on its own by combining a new design language with styling cues inspired by the iconic Lamborghini Countach. Its interior, on the other hand, is based on the Aventador’s, albeit it comes with bespoke elements and fancier features. The Sian also showcases innovative technology, like a state-of-the-art energy recuperating system and a supercapacitor instead of a traditional lithium-ion battery. Let’s find out more about that in the review below.
2020 Koenigsegg Jesko
The Koenigsegg Jesko is the company’s latest supercar, third megacar, and spiritual successor to the iconic Agera. Unveiled at the 2019 Geneva Motor Show, the Jesko boasts a power-to-weight ratio greater than 1:1, which means its engine generates more horsepower than the car’s total curb weight in kilograms. Koenigsegg offered similar versions of the One:1 and Agera, but the Jesko takes things one step further with an impressive downforce rating of 2,205 pounds.
Named after Jesko von Koenigsegg, the father of company founder and CEO, Christian von Koenigsegg, the Jesko marks the debut of the firm’s latest carbon-fiber chassis and nine-speed multi-clutch transmission. It’s also supposed to hit at least 300 mph according to Koenigsegg, so it could improve the Agera RS’ 277-mph world record really soon. Let’s find out more about that in the review below.
GM Struggles To Build Reliable Cars, Thinks You’ll Trust Riding In Its One-Man Drones
Despite not being as flashy as previous editions, this year’s Consumer Electronics Show aka CES still spawned some rad, futuristic concepts that, unfortunately, have every chance in the world of being nothing more than that.
For example, GM showed two prototypes at CES 2021 - one for land transportation and one for air travel.
Have a Few Laughs At BMW’s Expense in "A Story of Generations"
It’s hard to believe that BMW’s iDrive infotainment system is 20 years old this year. But it is, and if you need a little reminder of that, this short film from Bimmer will give you all the reminding you need. The film stars a grumpy, foul-mouthed BMW E65 7 Series and a much younger BMW iX. The two talking Bimmers argue about which of them is the better car.
Curse words are uttered, feelings are hurt, and a resolution happens towards the end. It’s a weird short film that’ll make you wonder what Bimmer’s marketing folks are sipping these days, but there is a story that’s told perfectly here, too. This is a story of two generations of BMW that couldn’t be more different from each other, though the two do have ties that bind. Give it a watch and prepare to have feelings about it afterward.


“Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Fold will eventually come with Windows 10X down the road for better foldable user experience”
Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Fold PC with a foldable OLED display was unveiled this week at CES 2020. Lenovo says it is the world’s first fully functional foldable PC that is capable of delivering laptop-level efficiency with smartphone portability. It is built from a combination of lightweight alloys and carbon fibre and is covered in a leather folio cover. This ‘Always Connected PC’ is powered by the Intel Core processor with Intel Hybrid Technology. Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Fold will initially boot Windows 10 OS, but the company says it would offer Windows 10X (Microsoft’s upcoming OS for folding and dual-screens) down the road for better foldable user experience.
Furthermore, the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Fold has optional support for 5G connectivity as well. Lenovo says it developed a mode-switching software for Windows 10 to adapt to multiple use cases. It sports a 13.3-inch OLED LG display with 2,048 x 1,536 pixels resolution and weighs just 1 kg. It comes with a Bluetooth mini fold keyboard that when unfolded attaches onto the bottom half of the display of the ThinkPad X1 Fold. When folded, the keyboard is stored and wirelessly charged between the sleeves and is secured with magnets. The laptop has support for Dolby audio and users can also connect a second display via the USB Type-C port.
Lenovo says that after working through six different hinge designs and more than twenty different variants, it finalised the ThinkPad X1 Fold’s design by creating a unique multi-link torque hinge mechanism to manage stresses during fold actions. The pOLED panel used is said to have undergone extensive durability testing to meet different usability criteria. Unfortunately, Lenovo hasn’t revealed the complete spec sheet just yet. The ThinkPad X1 Fold with Windows 10 would start at $2,499 (around Rs 1,79,300) and will be available in mid-2020. The Windows 10X version is expected to be available at a later date, and the ThinkPad X1 Fold Stand will be available in the second-half of 2020.

Washington College is committed to recharging its soils with rainwater to promote the health of the Chesapeake Bay watershed.
A Model Waterfront Campus
In a flagship demonstration of our ecological commitment, at Semans-Griswold Environmental Hall, a loose stone parking lot and drive slows rainwater till it soaks into a native meadow overlooking the Chester River. Footpaths use a pervious product produced by Stanchills, and two bio-retention ponds provide overflow support during heavy rain events.
The College on the Hill
At one of the highest elevation points in Chestertown, we have a number of water catchment features that model the permaculture practice of slowing and sinking water as high on landscape as possible.
In a partnership with ShoreRivers, Chester Riverkeeper Program, our campus has installed four mini-bioretention practices to reduce runoff into Radcliffe Creek, a tributary of the Chester River. We plan to continue partnering on more regenerative stormwater conveyances, attractive native plantings, and signage. ShoreRivers is helping us improve water quality, habitat, and aesthetics while also providing educational opportunities for our student body and campus visitors.
We're working on turning mowed turf into meadow plantings in prominent areas around campus to increase water infiltration, pollinator habitat, and decrease our carbon footprint. Future locations include the islands in the back parking lot and north of the main campus entrance. The meadows support our Bee Campus USA advocacy.
Our Compost Team is a powerhouse addition to the greening of our campus. Students are promoting organics recycling at the Campus Garden to increase the water holding capacity of our campus soils during rainstorms.
Toward a Biodiverse Landscape
While we’ve started with the most impactful projects to reduce water and nutrient runoff, we see more opportunities to champion ecological stewardship.
From the baseball field border to pocket gardens sprinkled around prominent campus pathways, we are working to integrate beautiful native plants in support of our arboretum and an ongoing commitment to our Tree Campus High Education certification.
Our Grounds team is committed to removing invasive plant species and increasing the number of native plant species represented to promote water catchment and wildlife habitat. Their effort is underscored by the Center for Environment and Society's Natural Lands Project and the research of ethnobotanical uses of indigenous plants by the Eastern Shore Food Lab.
Wild Green Vision
To address stormwater ponding at the base of the Campus Green, Emily Castle ’18 developed a design for a bioswale for her Environmental Studies senior capstone project. Her plant selection showcases native and edible species. This project is on our shortlist to accomplish.

Inclusiveness is an unusual word. What exactly does it mean? It means accepting and welcoming those who are different. It means allowing everyone to participate, even when there may be reasons not to. As you read this graphic nonfiction book, you'll explore the lives of people who have broken down barriers to make the world a more inclusive place. You'll also consider how inclusive you would be in some equally challenging situations.
This important book shows our connection to the natural world and to one another. It asks children to put aside their differences and to work together for the common good. What are our common goals? How can we work toward peace, safety, tolerance, and integrity in our lives? How can we live together with respect, kindness, and friendship?
Learning to tolerate different opinions, perspectives, and beliefs is vital to a healthy society. Slim Goodbodys Cant We Get Along? helps children understand the need and importance for tolerance, and the steps they can take to increase peace in their lives and in the world.
Bullying is one of the scariest and potentially damaging negative behaviors children can face. Slim Goodbody helps young students learn to recognize the different kinds of bullying and presents strategies for dealing with even the toughest situations.
Slim Goodbody helps children learn assertive communication skills that will help them express thoughts and feelings in an open, direct way. They will learn techniques that will get others to listen and respond appropriately to what they have to say.
This wonderful book introduces the important aspects of culture, and concentrates on the things that children enjoy, such as costumes, dances, holidays and celebrations, and special foods. The book promotes multiculturalism by acquainting children with one anothers ways of life.
This insightful book introduces children to the worlds most popular religions. It looks at the origins, special heroes and teachers, basic beliefs, sacred texts and symbols, ways of worship, special days, rituals, works of art, and places of worship associated with each religion. The book also highlights the basic principles of religions such as truth, kindness, acceptance, peace, and love. Learning similar aspects of religions, such as prayer, worship, ritual, and celebration, helps foster greater understanding and respect.

text: Friendship is something I have found valuable throughout my life. There are friends you think will be there for you through thick and thin and those who you know will one day leave. I was never a part of the “in’ or the “popular” crowd, but I did have my fair share of friends. The funny thing about friendship is sometimes people leave and when they do you realize who your real friends are. I have recently lost touch with a couple of friends whom I used to think would be there for me. It took me a while, but I can now see that it has only made me stronger and grow as a person. Losing some of my best friends have made me cling to the friendships I do still have. One of my oldest friends came home to visit the other day. I am so grateful for her. Lou and I grew up with her. We played together as children, gossiped as young teens, and have grown into young adults. I am so grateful for the friendships that last. The kind that you can go a while without talking to, but once you see each other or talk with each other again it’s like nothing has changed. I am grateful for friendship and the impact it has on my life. I used to think that it was the number of friends that mattered, I now know it is the number of friends I can be certain of that counts.

PwC Herald Talks is designed to give you the knowledge, insight and strategies to grow and diversify in the ever-changing landscape of New Zealand business.
These breakfast events discuss current & upcoming trends in business, including innovation, the internet of things, leadership, and global & local business.
Join us and key thought leaders to connect, share knowledge, and think about how to grow your business and remain relevant.
Leadership acts as the catalyst that makes all other elements work together; without leadership, all other business resources lie dormant. Leaders are invaluable when it comes to formulating and communicating new strategic directions, as well as communicating with and motivating employees to increase dedication to organizational goals.
The benefits of an effective leader are indisputable, an expert in leadership Warren Bennis said, “A business short on capital can borrow money and one with poor location can move but a business short on leadership has little chance of survival”
Effective leaders exhibit different styles of leadership, and these styles of leadership can bring out the best in different businesses and workforces. Join our keynote speaker and expert panel to hear about leadership necessities in your business, what worked- what didn’t work in their leadership roles. Take away key lessons to apply in your businesses and careers – to help you be the best leader in any situation.

Governors asked senators to withdraw Agnes Zani’s bill
George Kebaso @MoraraK
Attempts by senators to have county governments formalise services of Community Health Volunteers (CHVs) in a bill seeking to introduce a well-defined scheme of service that’s paid for and pensionable has once again hit a snag.
In the latest development, governors asked senators to withdraw the Community Health Services Bill, proposed by Nominated Senator Agnes Zani of the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM), currently at the Senate for debate.
Council of Governors Chairman, Wycliffe Oparanya, said whereas recognition of CHVs is necessary as it is captured law, making it formal is not possible.
“The recognition of CHVs and their services can go on but not to be extended to the formal scheme of service for county governments.
The moment we do this, it will increase the wage bill of respective counties, which is already too heavy for us,” said the Kakamega Governor.
Existing legal structures
Speaking during a Zoom meeting hosted by the Senate Health Committee, Oparanya said in Kakamega county alone, CHVs are double the number of health care workers, meaning if the attempts to replace volunteers with workers succeed, counties will experience a double challenge of dealing with disgruntled populations of workers.
“In Kakamega we have 10,000 CHVs against 7,000 healthcare workers, but I only take care of 3000 CHVs because there are development partners who assist through their arrangement with individual volunteers,” he pointed out and asserted, “I will not manage at all to take care of all volunteers.”
The governor, instead, called on the senators to support county governments in strengthening existing laws such as the County Government Act and Public Health Act, among others.
“Zani’s Bill needs to recognise existing legal instruments at everyone’s disposal to address the issues of CHVs and other health matters at the primary healthcare level,” he said.
Specifically, Oparanya argued against the establishment of the office of Community Health Service director, saying other active offices exist, namely public health, medical services and county projects department.
“We only need to harmonise what we already have; creation of new offices will mean duplication of services and roles,” he added.
This was another set-back for Senator Zani, who looked dejected at the end of the meeting.
Last week, CoG’s Health Committee Chairman and Isiolo governor, Mohamed Kuti; his Kisii counterpart and chairman of Human Resources Committee, James Ongwae; and Machakos governor Alfred Mutua, maintained bringing CHVs into formal workforce will initiate huge problems.
“The Bill is good in streamlining CHVs work, but not necessary now as it comes with huge financial expectations,” Kuti said, recommending its shelving.
This, then, made senators announce a retreat to study submissions by governors.
In her arguments Sen. Zani said her proposal called for a legal framework that properly recognises the work of CHVs and empower them in their services at community health facilities level.
“The Bill is simply looking at a scenario where a clear structure and framework on how to deal with the CHVs is legally created.
We want to give them more capability in delivery of services,” she said giving example of Turkana, Siaya and Homa Bay counties as pioneer counties that have already adopted a similar framework.

The study aimed to analyze the shear bond strength of aged silorane composite repaired with the same substrate or a conventional methacrylate-based composite after different mechanical and adhesive surface treatments.
Silorane composite specimens were aged by thermal cycling (5000 cycles, 5–55 °C) and randomly assigned to different surface treatments (each group n = 16): diamond bur abrasion, aluminum oxide sandblasting, silica coating, or hydrofluoric acid etching. Then, an adhesive system corresponding to the repair composite or a combination of silane agent and the respective adhesive was applied. Silorane composite or a nanofiller composite were adhered onto the conditioned surfaces. In the control group ( n = 16), silorane composite was adhered to fresh substrate (incremental build up). After further thermal cycling, shear bond strength was tested and failure modes were assessed. Data were analyzed by ANOVA/post hoc tests, Weibull statistics and Chi 2 -test ( p ≤ 0.05).
Incremental shear bond strength (control group: 21.0 ± 10.5 MPa) was achieved by all groups except those etched with hydrofluoric acid or samples abraded with diamond bur and repaired with the nanofiller composite without silane application. Generally, the application of the silane agent improved repair bond strength of the nanofiller but not of the silorane composite. Cohesive failure was observed more frequently than adhesive failure when the silane agent was applied or when silorane composite was used for repair.
Silorane composite can be repaired with either the same substrate or a methacrylate-based nanofiller composite but requires mechanical surface treatment and – in case of the methacrylate-based composite – silanization prior to adhesive application.
Polymerization shrinkage is considered as one of the main shortcomings of conventional methacrylate-based composites. Silorane composites were shown to overcome this problem to a certain extent as they are undergoing a photocationic ring-opening polymerization instead of a radical polymerization reaction, which results in polymerization shrinkage below 1% and a decrease of shrinkage stress by 27% compared to methacrylate-based composites . Furthermore, silorane composites were shown to present an increased hydrophobicity, which reduces water uptake and enhances hydrolytic stability . As silorane composites were marketed quite recently, information about their clinical performance is scarce and limited to one study with an observation period of 12 months. In this study, it was hypothesized that reduced polymerization stress would improve marginal performance, but marginal adaptation of silorane class II restorations was inferior compared to a methacrylate-based material .
In vitro studies showed that physical properties, such as flexural strength, dynamic and static moduli of elasticity, hardness and wear resistance of silorane composites are in the range of conventional methacrylate-based composites. Thus, longevity of silorane composite restorations might also be affected by mechanical or chemical degradation processes leading to clinical failures in the form of chipping, wear, discoloration or secondary caries, and requiring further operative treatment.
For the last years, it was shown that new techniques and materials in adhesive dentistry allow the repair of pre-existing restorations instead of their complete replacement . This approach is considered as conservative and cost-reducing method as the intact part of the restoration can be maintained and unnecessary removal of dental hard tissues and repeated irritations or injuries to the pulp can be avoided . The repairability of silorane composites was analyzed recently in several in vitro studies , but only few studies tested the ability of methacrylate-based composites to repair silorane restorations . These studies investigated either the effect of the adhesive intermediate agent or the impact of surface preparation on silorane repair. A systematic investigation combining both different surface pretreatments (mechanical and chemical) and different adhesive conditioning methods (adhesive, silane agent) was not done so far.
Thus, the objective of the present in vitro study was to evaluate the effect of various combinations of surface pretreatments and adhesive conditioning methods on shear bond strength of aged silorane repairs in order to determine the optimum repair method when either the same substrate or a conventional methacrylate-based composite is used. The null hypotheses tested were (1) the type of surface pretreatment does not affect shear bond strength, (2) the use of silane does not affect shear bond strength and (3) the kind of adhesive/repair composite does not influence shear bond strength.

I joined a local camera club last year with the express purpose of getting better at taking pictures. The best way to get critiques is to enter competitions and get feedback from the judges on what works and what doesn't, and more importantly, why. While some of it is useful, most of it is quite subjective and comments are dependent on what the individual likes or doesn't like (one may have an aversion to flowers and another only likes birds) or whether or not he's had a fight with his wife before he left the house that night. "Watch your corners" and the rule of thirds seem to be another couple of golden rules, but sometimes those too are challenged.
A few weeks ago we had a general, anything goes pictorial competition. This means no category, no rules in terms of what you could do to change the photos, and no theme per se. Here are my entries. The judges particularly liked the first one, saying it reminded them of a art nouveau magazine cover. It was taken on a foggy morning near here, and that's exactly what it looked like when I shot across the lake. They liked the spot of sun on the water and the shape of the tress on the left. One judge did not like that teensy little vertical branch wayp up on the upper right side, but short of finding a ladder, climbing the tree and trimming it (which the municipal workers might not appreciate and by that time, the fog would have dissipated) I had to leave it as is.
The second one was a milkweed pod, but they were kind of iffy on that one. I loved it, but maybe because it was a beautiful sunny fall day, and I kind of stumbled upon this little puff of a plant at the end of our cottage driveway. Usually a photo means something to the photographer and it evokes a mood or a memory of where they were and how they felt when they took it. Sometimes that can be communicated in a photo, and sometimes it's just another milkweed pod, my friends.
Then the third was a rock wall. This created a bit of a debate. One of the judges suggested it would look better if it was rotated. Oddly enough, that was the way I'd taken the original but I liked it better turned on its end as I feel it's more interesting that way and creates a bit of tension.
So I'm asking you. Which do you like better? The first one or the second one? You don't have to tell me why. You just have to agree with me.


MOBILE, Ala. – The South Alabama Jaguars are relying on a boost from both experience and painful memories they'd rather not repeat.
Equally important, they finally have a chance to compete for a bowl game and Sun Belt Conference title. The Jaguars went 2-11 last season during their FBS transitional year but now they're full-fledged Sun Belt members.
Coach Joey Jones believes they're better for going through the tough times. Now, they've got to prove it.
"Obviously with it being brand-new, people are voting us way down in the polls and I would, too," Jones said. "We're brand-new and we've got to earn our way up the ladder. But it's exciting to know that we played some of these teams last year. I'm real excited to see how this team has grown.
"I've seen more than any other year in this program, a growth not only from the physical standpoint but also from the mental standpoint. I'm real eager to see how they respond to this season."
The Jaguars had 19 seniors on their two-deep entering preseason camp, far more than they're accustomed to. Jones said that has translated into better leadership.
They also have plenty of motivation from last season's record.
"That ate me up every day," cornerback Darrius Morrow said. "When we first got back into spring ball, we made a point of emphasis that every time that we wanted to slack or we wanted to give in or we wanted to make an excuse we always (said), '2-11.' That's always in the back of our heads. It's kind of embedded in us now."
Five things to watch as South Alabama competes for a bowl game and the Sun Belt title for the first time:
1. MOVING UP: A program that didn't start playing football until 2009 was competitive in at least half of its losses last season. The Jaguars will visit Tennessee and Navy this season, but the main measuring stick will be how they measure up against Sun Belt opponents. South Alabama's only league win last season came in double overtime over Florida Atlantic.
2. QUARTERBACK: Ross Metheny started 10 games last season after transferring from Virginia but is facing competition from Alcorn State transfer Brandon Bridge. The 6-foot-5, 220-pound Bridge started in 2010 as a freshman at the Southwestern Athletic Conference school, passing for 2,086 yards and rushing for 601 yards. He left the team six games into the 2011 season after his playing time and production declined. Bridge sat out the 2012 season.
3. NEW DEFENSE: Kevin Sherrer took over as defensive coordinator after Bill Clark became head coach at Jacksonville State. Sherrer worked for three years as Alabama's director of player development. Before that, he spent three years as defensive coordinator at state prep powerhouse Hoover High School. Morrow said he's brought new unity to the defense, along with fresh schemes. Sherrer must replace the Sun Belt's leading tackler, linebacker Jake Johnson. Defensive end Alex Page is a preseason all-conference pick after recording six sacks.
4. RUNNING GAME: The Jaguars are seeking a replacement to leading rusher Demetre Baker, who was dismissed from the team in April. Junior college transfer Jay Jones had already emerged from the spring atop the depth chart, while fellow JUCO product Cris Dinham is also among the contenders for carries. South Alabama averaged just 3.3 yards per carry as a team last season.
5. OFFENSIVE IMPROVEMENT: The Jaguars were solid defensively last season but struggled on offense. They ranked last in the Sun Belt in total and scoring offense, averaging 333.4 yards and 18.5 points per game. Leading receiver Jereme Jones returns, along with Bryant Lavender and preseason All-Sun Belt tight end Wes Saxton.
Predicted finish in Sun Belt: Seventh.

Average Irish teenage girls 'spending almost €700 on Debs'05/09/2012 - 11:35:21
The average Irish teenage girl will spend almost €700 on their Debs this year, according to research carried out by department store Debenhams.
The survey claimed that young women are spending on average €695 on beauty treatments, evening dresses and accessories to ensure they look their best.
This cost is equivalent to the amount spent on a post Leaving Cert holiday, and is more than the price of two tickets for Electric Picnic last weekend.

Absolutely no ammunition of any kind on the cleaning station. clear the firearm and break it down. It gets reloaded on the other workbenche and put away. It’s the only place that a gun is unloaded in my house. Every other firearm is loaded and treated as such
Sure do. When doing holster training, I purge the room of live ammo and load a mag with snap caps.
