The Highlands & Islands European Partnership (HIEP) has launched a position paper on Regional Policy.
After exiting the EU, UK regions will no longer be able to access EU structural funds. A new Regional Policy is therefore required for the UK as a replacement and to help maximise the economic potential of our regions. For the Western Isles, the main priorities continue to be:
- infrastructural and digital connectivity;
- investment in sustainable growth sectors such as renewables;
- investment in new technologies;
- retention of our working age populations;
- relocation to the Western Isles of pre and post Brexit jobs;
- rural resettlement programmes;
- commitment to our traditional industries;
- control over our natural assets;
- investment in our private sector through an incentivising apprenticeship programme;
- investment in our education and skills;
- expansion of local UHI provision;
- support for aviation and ferries transportation; and
- an overall reduction in the cost of living and an improvement in the mobility of labour.
The Regional Policy Position Paper (790.8kB) (Opens in a new window or downloads a file) recognises that the European Union’s Regional Policy had been a significant driver in transforming the economic and social wellbeing of the Highlands & Islands.
Vice-Chair of HIEP, Comhairle nan Eilean Siar Councillor, Alasdair Macleod, said: “The Highlands and Islands of Scotland is a special corner of the country, with an abundance of natural resources, a diverse business base, world renowned environment and vibrant, confident communities. An effective regional policy will enable us to make a full contribution post Brexit towards economic and social growth. That’s good for the Highlands and Islands. It’s also good for Scotland and the UK.
“Despite the fragile nature of our islands’ economies, the challenges of population retention and growth, and other financial and resource issues, through the historic Islands (Scotland) Bill, we have been given the opportunity to embed the principle that “one size does not fit all”. We hope to continue working closely with both Scottish and UK Governments to ensure not only a sustainable future for our areas but to see them flourish.”

Jervis McEntee Diary Entry, April 21, 1881, from the Jervis McEntee papers, 1850-1905, in the Archives of American Art, Smithsonian Institution
Thursday, Apr 21, 1881 Went to New Haven by 11 oclock train. Beautiful spring day. Weir met me at the station. We lunched together, went to his studio a little while where he showed me his large head of Woolsey which he has put in plaster and intends to put in bronze. It looked very vigorous to me though I told him I thought the treatment of the hair not broad enough. From there we walked out to Mrs. Ewells where I had an interview which was not satisfactory. Came back to his room and then to the house where I spent the night.< Previous Entry | Next Entry >

How liable companies be for violent acts that are committed during work by their own employees? They need to be aware of at-risk employees who may commit violent acts and the managers of the company should encourage their employees to report any threatening or suspicious behavior. Also depends on the policies set forth by the company ant the company’s ability to be consistent with said policies 2.
Can companies completely prevent workplace violence? If not, what steps can they take to reduce it? No. The steps that they can do to reduce the workplace violence, first, Establish a crisis management team, second, Understand the problem, third, Publicize your anti-violence program, forth, Prevention is the key, finally, Responding to emergency incidents, and if that happened: Contact local law enforcement and follow their instructions, Notify your private security force, if you have one, Get people away from the scene as quickly as possible, Secure the area if possible to preserve the crime scene for later investigation, Most importantly, STAY CALM. 3.
Why do you think only one percent (1%) of companies have a formal antiviolence policy? Companies feel it rare that workplace violence could happen to them and in the presence metal detector no one can do this. Also many companies have not been faced with any serious violent acts within the workplace so the realization of this growing problem is not apparent to them. Unfortunately, a lot of times, it takes something bad to happen in order for prevention measures to be implemented.
Some companies are considering the installation of mental detectors to prevent workplace violence. Do you think these measures infringe too much on individual privacy? In other words, can a company take prevention too far? Yes it can but it also depends on the risk of violence and on the organization.
What factors might lead to violent acts in the workplace? Are these acts committed by only a few "sick" individuals or...

In a warning sign for the White House, Democratic Sen. Ben Nelson of Nebraska tells ABC News that he'll vote to block any health care bill that looks like the bill passed by the House.
Why is he thumbing his nose at Harry Reid, Pelosi, and the millions that are uninsured?
"Well, first of all, it has more than a robust public option, it's got a totally government-run plan, the costs are extraordinary associated with it, it increases taxes in a way that will not pass in the Senate and I could go on and on and on," Nelson said in an interview that is part of ABC News' Subway Series with Jonathan Karl.
"Faced with a decision about whether or not to move a bill that is bad, I won't vote to move it," he added. "For sure."
The $1.1 trillion price tag on the House bill, Nelson said, is "absolutely" too high.
The $1.1 trillion quote is, actually, on the low side, but that is besides the point. This is just another trillion plus government boodoogle that will end up hurting more than it will help.
Consider the stimulus plan, Obama said that we must pass it, or we will reach 10% unemployment without it. He used fear to rush it through. Well, we passed it, and were still at 10% plus
There is one thing about the House bill, however, that Nelson does like: the strict ban on any abortion coverage by insurance plans bought with government subsidies. Unless the Senate bill includes a similar provision, Nelson said, he'll vote against it.
"Federal taxpayer money ought not to be used to fund abortions," Nelson said. "So whether it is subsidies on premiums or whether it is tax credits or whatever it is...it should not be used to fund abortions."
That's another dagger in the bill and NOW's heart.
In response to Bill Clinton's comments earlier, he said something that sounds a bit familiar:
"What I heard him say is that you don't have to let the desire for perfection get in the way of the good," Nelson said. "And that makes a great deal of sense. But I would add the caveat that we have to be sure it is not a bad bill, that it doesn't add to the deficit, that it doesn't increase taxes, and that does, in fact, control the growth in costs."
I think he read my post right before the interview. So, I'm taking all the credit for his Damascus moment.
With the Senate needing 60 votes to pass anything and all 40 Republicans against it at this time, Reid needs all 60 Democrats to pass it. He cannot afford one defection, but he has at least 3 (Lieberman, Landrieu, too) so far and at least three more (McCaskill, Lincoln, Bayh) that could commit to a no vote. This isn't good for Sen. Reid.

Belvidere North (4-1) faces one of its biggest games of the season against two-time defending NIC-10 champion Hononegah (4-1), but the Blue Thunder have more on their minds than just the Indians.
“We’re focusing on Hononegah,” North coach Jeff Beck said, “but we’re definitely going to be keeping an eye on that score between Boylan and Harlem. The upset would be great and mix things up.”
Harlem (4-1), the preseason favorite, winning at Boylan (5-0) Friday night won’t be much of an upset. Nor would it be surprising to see either North or Hononegah win. But the two results could lead to something that hasn’t happened in 35 years when Boylan, Hononegah and Jefferson all finished 6-2: a three-way tie for the NIC-10 football title.
“It’s unique, but the more competition you have, the better you are going to be in the long run,” Harlem coach Bob Moynihan said. “You get used to that playoff atmosphere.”
Boylan is almost assured a share of the title; they hold a one-game lead going in and their final three games are against teams that are a combined 3-12.
Even if Harlem wins, it still has to play North next week. Hononegah should get at least a share of the title if it beats North and Boylan loses, with the Indians’ final three opponents a combined 5-10.
Hononegah’s issue is rebounding from giving up 41 consecutive points in a 55-21 loss to Boylan last week.
“We talked to the boys about that,” Hononegah coach Brian Zimmerman said. “They understand they have to rally and be ready to play North and play tough.
The Blue Thunder have been especially tough on defense, allowing 49 points on the season, second to Boylan's 47 in the NIC-10.
“North plays downhill,” Zimmerman said. “They are very quick. They swarm to the ball very well. We point those things out to our guys in hopes that our defense will do the same thing.”
Boylan edged Harlem last year 24-21 when it used a couple of big plays to overcome the Huskies’ explosive passing attack, led by James Cooper Jr. (1,224 yards passing this year) and Brandt Hixson (45 catches for 603 yards). This year, however, Boylan has a much-improved passing game with John Starck throwing for 661 yards and nine TDs, while Harlem has improved on the ground.
Logan Johnson (511 yards) has almost twice as many yards as Harlem’s season rushing leader last year, and fullback/linebacker Adrian Palos (248 yards, 7 TDs, 11.8-yard average) gives the Huskies a great short-yardage runner like the Titans have in De’Treyvion Malone (296 yards, 7.2 average).
“Adrian is a man amongst boys,” Moynihan said. “He’s very important to us on defense. That’s why he doesn’t get many carries. We want him healthy for the playoffs.
“Malone is definitely a power back, like an Earl Campbell-type back. Adrian is more of a Bo Jackston-type back. He’s going to run over you, but he’s also going to go 90 on you. The run he had the other day was incredible; he was pinned on the sideline and ran over three guys for 87 yards.”
Harlem will need to run better to beat Boylan. But the Huskies will also have to find a way to keep Boylan’s front seven off Cooper’s back.
“We know what they are going to do to stop Cooper. We also know what Cooper will do to counteract that,” Moynihan said. “They are going to try to man us up and beat us up on the line. We will see if that works. Our pass blocking scheme is much better than it was in the past. He’s not being pressured as much as he was. Our line prides itself on that.”
But the pressure gets turned up Friday night. On all four teams. Tri-champs? Co-champs? Boylan-only champs? The answer to that starts Friday night.

It’s being said the Captain America: Civil War trailer will be shown at the AsiaPop ComicCon Manila in the Philippines.
According to CNNPhillipines.com, the Captain America: Civil War trailer will be shown Saturday, September 19th at 1 p.m. with Paul Bettany, who plays the Vision, in attendance.
“What we’re doing is an exclusive screening of never-seen scenes from Captain America: Civil War and we’ll have Paul Bettany with a panel after that… so it kind of encompasses the new Marvel movie,” Rita Magnus, general manager of Universal Events and Entertainment said. “I have been researching. I did a whole research with regards to Manila so we know about the passion and the crazy fans you have here. We wanted to bring somebody from the cast of Avengers, someone big in the Marvel’sCivil Warmovie… and The Vision (played by Bettany) is a really big character.”
AsiaPop ComicCon Manila takes place in Manila, Philippines September 17th-20th.
Marvel has yet to officially release the Captain America: Civil War trailer, which first debuted at August’s D23 Expo. Images have leaked online.
“Captain America: Civil War” has a May 6, 2016 release date directed by Anthony and Joe Russo starring Chris Evans, Robert Downey Jr., Scarlett Johansson, Jeremy Renner, Elizabeth Olsen, Sebastian Stan, Anthony Mackie, Frank Grillo, Paul Bettany, Don Cheadle, Emily VanCamp, William Hurt, Martin Freeman and Chadwick Boseman as Black Panther.
Captain America: Civil War picks up where Avengers: Age of Ultron left off, as Steve Rogers leads the new team of Avengers in their continued efforts to safeguard humanity. After another international incident involving the Avengers results in collateral damage, political pressure mounts to install a system of accountability and a governing body to determine when to enlist the services of the team. The new status quo fractures the Avengers while they try to protect the world from a new and nefarious villain.

During the operation of a proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cell, significant variation of the local current density could exist across the cell causing sharp temperature and stress gradients in certain points, and affecting the water management, all of which severely impact the cell performance and reliability. The variation of local current density is a critical issue in the performance of PEM fuel cell, and is influenced by the operating conditions. This article presents a model-assisted parametric design with the objective of determining the operating conditions which maximize the fuel cell performance while maintaining a level of uniformity in the current density distribution. A comprehensive two-dimensional model is adopted to simulate the species transport and electrochemical phenomena in a PEM fuel cell. Numerical simulations are performed for over a wide range of operating conditions to analyze the effects of various operating parameters on the variation of local current density of the fuel cell, and to develop design windows which serve as guideline in the design for maximum power density, minimum reactant stoichiometry, and uniform current density distribution.

Can you make the saiga ak look more like a traditional ak?
How do you get the saiga ak to look more like a traditional ak? Im not talking about the conversion im talking about the upper gas tube. The gas tube is covered. It does not look like an classic ak, how would you fix this, or expose the gas tube so it looks a little more traditional? Any pics would be nice!
You could replace the gas tube with a standard one. The tube on the Saiga lacks the hardware to hold the wood of a standard upper handguard. If you mounted a rail system it might not matter because some of them clamp in place.

In response to mounting evidence of hoverboards spontaneously exploding and injuring customers, Amazon.com Inc. offered Wednesday to pay full refunds for all hoverboards purchased through its site.
Amazon’s announcement comes on the heels of a statement issued by Elliot Kaye, chairman of the Consumer Product Safety Commission, who urged anyone with a hoverboard to “have a working fire extinguisher nearby.”
Any time there are this number of fires and dozens of falls and collisions, that is a real concern,” said Patty Davis, a spokesperson for the CPSC. “This is why we decided to investigate.”
The CPSC is currently investigating 40 incidents in 19 states of hoverboards catching on fire.
“We’re looking for the root cause of the fires,” Davis said noting special attention to the lithium-ion battery and its interaction with the circuit boards inside the device.
The CPSC chairman lauded Amazon for “taking action” and called for other large-volume online retailers to follow suit.
“We commend Amazon for voluntarily stepping up,” Davis said. “They are putting customer safety first and that’s a good thing.”
Amazon first took steps to protect consumers from hoverboards in December when it pulled all but two brands of hoverboards from the virtual store, according to a spokesperson at Swagway USA, a hoverboard manufacturer.
Hoverboards, which are also referred to as self-balancing boards, rose to popularity when young celebrities like Wiz Khalifa and Kendall Jenner posted photos of the product on social media. Many speculated it would soar during the holiday season but sales slowed when videos of the hoverboards on fire began surfacing on YouTube.
A spokesperson for Swagway said that the company counted 250,000 minutes of customer service calls during the month of November and guesses that number quadrupled in December.
Injuries caused by hoverboards are not limited to spontaneous explosions. Elliot Volkman, a contributing staff writer at Tech.co, said the 20-pound device can “take someone’s legs out when you’re really going.”
“When you’re going 10 miles per hour and it flies out in front of you, it’s not a good experience,” Volkman said in an interview. “More people around you are likely to get hurt than you are.”
Hoverboards were not designed to sense the weight of the user and can therefore lurch at unanticipated speeds and destabilize the rider, sometimes resulting in serious injuries and hospital visits, according to Davis.
“We have to look deeper into the design to see if there is a hidden hazard,” Davis said.
The CPSC does not have the authority to pre-approve products before they come to market but it is in the process of creating standards for hoverboards in addition to the standards for lithium-ion batteries and chargers that already exist.
A Swagway spokesperson said that hoverboards are the new generation’s skateboards or roller skates and just as when those came out, people might take a spill.
“Just like with bikes, you may fall off,” Davis said. “But it doesn’t surprise you.”

Advanta / Canceled my credit card
Advanta Mastercard has canceled my credit line as of April 21, 2009. Not because I missed payment, because I never had a balance from month to month.
Advanta Mastercard sent me an email and a letter (which I haven't received yet) stating that they have canceled my card due to my low activity. My low activity was about $500 to $3, 000 a month in charges but I always paid my balance off each month.
They have the right to do what they please with their credit lines, BUT!!! They should have given me proper notice. My wife was purchasing her contact lenses and the card was declined making her greatly embarrased at the time of her purchase.
I guess Advanta Mastercard wants SLAVES as cardholders! If you are responsible and only spend what you can pay for when the bill comes due they ABSOLUTELY HATE YOU!!!
Let's all pay off all of our bills and let these CREDIT SLAVES DIE AWAY...

CVS Health has announced it has reached a $5 billion settlement over its role in the opioid crisis. Under the deal announced Wednesday, CVS would pay $4.9 billion to state and local governments and about about $130 million to Native American tribes over the next decade.
The $5 billion figure would make the settlement, if accepted, one of the largest opioid-related settlements ever. It would also make CVS the first major pharmacy chain to reach a nationwide settlement of lawsuits over the crisis. Other pharmacies, including Rite Aid, Walgreens and Walmart have reached agreements with individual states.
“We are pleased to resolve these longstanding claims and putting them behind us is in the best interest of all parties, as well as our customers, colleagues and shareholders,” CVS Health Chief Policy Officer and General Counsel Thomas Moriarty said in a statement. “We are committed to working with states, municipalities and tribes, and will continue our own important initiatives to help reduce the illegitimate use of prescription opioids.”
In a press release on the settlement, CVS said the settlement “is not an admission of any liability or wrongdoing” regarding the opioid crisis. The company added it “will continue to defend against any litigation that the final agreement does not resolve.”
CVS announced the settlement the same morning the company released its third quarter earnings. While CVS reported a loss of $3.9 billion, that actually beat expectation, as the company had set aside $5.2 billion for “opioid litigation charges.” Meanwhile, CVS saw sales growth in all three of its main businesses as total revenue climbed 10% to $81.2 billion.
“We delivered another outstanding quarter, and have raised full-year guidance as a result,” CVS Health President and CEO Karen Lynch said in a statement. We continue to execute on our strategy with a focus on expanding capabilities in health care delivery, and the announced acquisition of Signify Health will further strengthen our engagement with consumers.”
The company now expects adjusted earnings of $8.55 to $8.65 per share for the year, a higher and narrower forecast than it made in August. FactSet says analysts predict, on average, earnings of $8.55 per share.

This is a topic that I have been wanting to write (or rant) about in detail for several weeks now…but I have to do it carefully and use some discretion out of respect for the other person. See, even when I dislike someone I still try and use some discretion…and not bash people to humiliate or put them down. A family member and I had a, let’s call it a falling out. Just like friends, sometimes two people butt heads so much so that there isn’t a common ground. The mistake that I had made with this particular relation is that I felt that a common ground could be found and built upon for many years, and so I continued to try to stitch the relationship wounds over and over to no avail.
I realized that when you take two people that have completely opposite views of the world around them they will never see the same thing. I could sit and say that this person is completely nuts and very jaded…but that wouldn’t be fair. I can’t say why said person sees things from that viewpoint and I know for a fact that many of the things we discussed in our argument prior to my complete and total disconnect from that relationship (aside from DNA…I can’t change that), were falsehoods.
I suppose that truth means very little when perception is everything. Instead of continuing to argue that this person was indeed insane I just quit. It isn’t worth it to just keep spewing that negativity back and forth…it’s pointless. I have learned something through the process however, and that is people who are not on your side do not need to be involved in your life.
No singular person on this planet has any responsibility to support everything you do, 100%…but when they support less than half of what you do and who you are, judge you for things that cannot be helped, and on situations that they could never understand…well those people be it blood or other need not be involved. In the wild animals that travel in packs protect their families, protect their packs. They support one another and that is how they thrive and survive. I noticed years ago that I had very little support in my family unit and thus I was a lone wolf…for the most part. In my home unit I have my own pack and that bond is strong. We rise together, we fall together, and we do it all again. We don’t support everything each other does 100% but we respect the decisions made.
I have prided myself on the strides I have made over the years, all the things that I have overcome and yet there are people that are so degrading to your life and choices that it becomes toxic. I noticed a complete shift once I relinquished this person from any previously conceived familial obligations they once may have held. My attitude changed and I felt lighter. People have asked how I can just cut people out of my life like that…and my answer to that question is a little complicated. It took years of learning. When I was younger I often kept people in my social circles that didn’t deserve to be there. People that brought me down or practiced things that I was completely against were still hanging around. I allowed this to happen. I noticed that those people were not going anywhere and not doing anything to propel our relationship in the right direction.
It’s hard to let go…sometimes. Unfortunately, sometimes when you cut one person out of your life, you cut many as a result. Now, don’t get me wrong…I didn’t stop talking to other people associated with this person in particular. I’m not that petty…but the truth of the matter is that it gets to be a stickier situation when children are involved. My children had a relationship with this person and that person’s child(ren). That created a bit of a bumpy situation. However, this is a conversation that I had to have with them. I explained that sometimes adults make decisions that are best for all involved, at least in their opinion. There does come a time when they have to make those decisions for themselves, but right now this is what I had decided and I had strong feelings to support my decision. My older children understood that this long standing relationship had been tumultuous for years. They also had their own complaints and concerns and we talked about it.
It isn’t much different than keeping a child from a parent that has a problem with drugs. Though there are some aspects of this person’s life that I don’t support personally, I always tried to be supportive of their decisions. Be it relationships, finances, school, jobs, hobbies, etc. I told them when I didn’t support certain things, but yet I still had to be respectful of their choices and I tried to be as positive and uplifting, giving encouragement where I could. I can’t recall many times when this person did the same for me.
I remember one time in particular that this person said they were going back to school and my response was, “Hey, that’s awesome. What are you going to major in?” This person went on and on about this and that. I listened to their stories about issues with classes or financial aid…never discouraging. However, when I said that I was going to go back to school I was met with, “Well, how are you going to do that? You aren’t going to finish…you never finish what you start.” It wasn’t about finishing or not…it was about doing something that I wanted to do. What I needed was encouragement. I had no proof that she/he was going to finish school either…but I never saw that as the point. They had dropped college once before, but I had no preconceived notions that they would do it again, and if they had…so what. Some college is better than no college, right?
No, I didn’t finish college. I went and finished all but 4 classes at Anthem College for a dental assisting diploma. I had a 4.0 for about six months. I realized that I wasn’t as into it as I should have been, though I was good at it. However, I don’t regret it at all. I learned a lot and the knowledge I gained had proved to be invaluable. My times there were good ones for the most part and it was an experience that I can carry with me. That was the point…not would I continue on. Some people have a bad habit of putting their own expectations on you and they can’t see past their own ideals. As parents we do this often to our children, and I have learned to back off some over the years. My children aren’t me…though in many ways they are similar they are still their own individuals, and while I want the best for them…ultimately they are the deciders of what “the best” means in their own lives.
During one particular argument toward the end of my relationship with said person I said something to the effect of, “Why can’t you ever just be supportive?” This person responded with something to the effect of, “Well, after years of watching you fail I just stopped.” Again, failing is something that is in the eye of the beholder. I don’t feel that I failed…besides my life isn’t over. I think that over the years I have had many accomplishments and I am proud of those accomplishments. Telling someone they failed says a whole lot about yourself. It says that your standards are in your opinion the be all end all of standards and nobody else’s opinion, thoughts, or feelings mean shit. This makes me wonder how anyone could be friends with such a person, let alone let them be a part of that “pack” I mentioned earlier. Especially, because according to his/her standards my mother is a complete failure.
My mother didn’t finish high school, has no college education, no GED, nothing of grandeur to present as a way of showing success based on this person’s standards. However, my mother isn’t a failure. Despite her faults (which we all have faults) she raised two children who made it to adulthood to lead their own lives. Having a child, providing for them, and raising them to the best of your ability is an amazing success if you do nothing else in life. My mother has provided people with friendship, and love…even the opposite…but the positive emotions run deep and is again a success. It is funny how the standards placed upon me by this person only applies to me, but all others can be overlooked. Unless of course she/he feels this way of all people but just doesn’t speak on it. Which I can say is fact. I have heard this person talk endlessly about others and their faults and judge and smile in their face. I’m not saying that I have never done that…most people have at some point in their lives, but owning up to it is something entirely different.
We teach our children that some strangers are bad, and give them examples of how people can hurt them if they aren’t careful. How often do we talk about the possibility that the person that could hurt them is related to them by blood. Now, I know said person feels I have done some injustice to their child…by not being more involved. It was never personal to that child. I tried my best…but I also knew for that child’s health, safety, and sanity that I couldn’t be more involved. For example, there were times that I wanted to ask to take that child here or there, but then I realized, hey I smoke in my car…and this child has horrible asthma. Or oh, my daughter wants said child to spend the night…but their mother said they had an allergy to cats, and I have a cat. Also, I’m a smoker…it’s in my clothes and hair, etc. Again, not healthy for any child…but especially not one with asthma.
I grew up in a household where people smoked and that bad habit continued on with me. I’ve been trying to take steps to quit, or at least cut back on my children’s exposure to it…but still…fact remains. Another issue is that the way said child was being raised was very different than how I was raising my children. Normally this isn’t an issue, but it becomes one with relatives. How can I be a positive person that this child will like to be around when I have to say, “no,” to many things their parents would say, “yes,” to? The few times that this child was in my care that was something that I dealt with. I constantly had to reiterate the rules of the house that were ignored. Not saying that the child is a “bad kid” just the rules are different and then my children act up more because rules are being ignored. You can’t always expect a child to understand how things can be so vastly different from one household from another. There are so many reasons why I tend to make the choices that I do…but there isn’t enough open communication between people sometimes that those choices are made clear or understood. Then of course those people would have to be willing to understand things from someone else’s perspective.
I don’t know about all people, but I was taught that you should try and reserve judgement until you have walked a mile in someone else’s shoes…not literally of course but figuratively. Most of us know that we don’t always do this and sometimes judgements are cast out quickly and with little remorse. However, if you are one of those people that do try and take a moment to see another person’s perspective that is great…but it doesn’t work very well if the other person doesn’t do the same.
Someone in my social circle had a similar issue with a long time friend. I know a few people who do and they don’t cut those people from their lives…for whatever reason. Be it loyalty, familiarity, or any other such tie. I can respect that to a degree. I once did the same thing. I guess a part of me feels for those people because anybody in your life that is supposed to love you shouldn’t be so damn hurtful and negative. We tell our friends when they have a new significant other that the person should always treat them well, respect them, love them, protect them, support them, etc. But if that new person doesn’t we start telling them to see the warning signs and get out while they still can…it’s obviously not a healthy situation. Well, friendships are the same, so are blood relationships. In order to live our best lives I think that it is always good to try and surround ourselves with people that have our mutual love, respect, loyalty, etc.
Ok, now this is the end of my rant…writing…whatever 🙂 Please, tell me your thoughts if you are so inclined. Have you been in this situation? What did you do?

I wanted to give a public thank you to the folks at Jayson Architects for creating an outstanding design for the new Downtown Branch Library. The architects asked for feedback from the community, and worked hard to successfully incorporate what we want! People asked for more public gathering space downtown, so this design incorporates a beautiful, spacious, outdoor 5000-square-foot rooftop garden. It will be an ideal place for events, programs, meeting friends, reading a book or working on a laptop! The design also features tons of natural light, acoustic soundproofing, a teen room and an exciting children’s area.
As part of the mixed-use aspect of the project, many of us want more affordable housing for low-income residents, and the architects delivered. Their new design features over a hundred units of 100% affordable housing!
It is wonderful to see how this project keeps getting better and better. Thank you for listening to our community, Jayson Architects!

During his State of the Union Address, President Obama highlighted Desiline Victor, a 102-year-old woman who, because of Republican laws in Florida meant to discourage people from voting, was told that the wait to vote might take as long as six hours. But supported by a crowd throng of people who supported her, she proudly wore her "I Voted" sticker in half the time, after standing in line for three hours.
A 102-year-old woman, standing in line for three hours to vote? That's bordering on barbaric, and not something that any free or democratic society should ever allow, especially not in the "greatest country on earth." Yet that's exactly what this brave, determined, patriotic lady did.
This morning, Fox News hosts Brian Kilmeade, Martha MacCallum, and Bill Hemmer asked, "What's the big deal?" and went on to mock Desiline Victor:
“How long was she on line?” Hemmer wondered, casting doubt on the story.
“What’s the big deal? She was happy,” MacCallum quipped. “She waited on line, she was happy that she voted.”
“They held her up as a victim!” Hemmer agreed. “What was she the victim of? Rashes on the bottom of her feet?”Listen to the audio of this hateful fool fest here.

Some things need a little time to get going. Like they’re slow. Like snails. That’s part of the deal for Taylor Knapp, chef at First and South in Greenport, who with business partner Sean Nethercott established a Kickstarter in September to fund a business raising fresh culinary snails. Unfortunately, the goal of $35,000 was not met by October 1, but that has not dampened their desire to provide chefs and home cooks with a product superior to what’s available now: frozen or canned snails, mostly from France.
The duo’s plan is to raise snails in covered greenhouses on land in Cutchogue managed by the Peconic Land Trust. Other fresh snail farms are operating in the United States, says Knapp, but these snails are raised in open pens, and their diets, mostly made up of plant material, are hard to regulate. If he can regulate the snails’ diet, he can add particular herbs, like rosemary for snail foccacia; or mushrooms for a snail risotto. He will feed them fresh fruit and vegetables, and possibly acorns.
Knapp’s research convinced him the demand for fresh snails was enough to consider the business viable, so he’s been working with an invertebrate zoologist with the USDA to test breed and has been pleased with the results. So pleased that he’s not going to give up. He and his partner are actively wooing investors and hope to be delivering vacuum-packed snails around the country soon. The snails will be sold by the pound for $35 to $40, with about 100 snails per pound.
Although the Kickstarter campaign was a disappointment, Knapp is not deterred. “I don’t go down that easily,” he says.
As he explained to followers on Facebook, this clean diet and same-day shipping will eliminate the need for preservatives, salt, oil or water, heat, and freezing. “Just really freakin’ fresh escargot.”

Higgins to be a long-term Dog
ACCORDING to former Bulldogs recruiting manager Scott Clayton, the club's first choice in the 2005 draft was not just talented and versatile, but also ''dangerous'' and a potential star.
His name was Shaun Higgins, an 18-year-old from Geelong, whose natural abilities excited Clayton as much as his determination.
Clayton's only concern was that another club might snare Higgins ahead of the Dogs' 11th pick. They didn't and from the moment his name was read out, the lifetime Cats supporter - and his family - began supporting the red, white and blue.
But while Clayton was responsible for kick-starting Higgins' AFL career four years ago, the 21-year-old won't return the favour by heading north to play at the Gold Coast team for whom Clayton now recruits.
Instead, the exciting young midfielder-forward will re-sign with the club he hopes to remain at for the rest of his career. ''I'm not interested in leaving at all, so I'm looking forward to signing a new contract and hopefully being a Bulldogs player for the rest of my career,'' Higgins told The Age.
But while his future is secure, Higgins' AFL career has had its setbacks.
In his debut season Higgins dislocated an elbow after 13 games. In season two he played every game to round 20 before he had a shoulder reconstruction. In his third year he badly injured his ankle in the second round, had an ankle reconstruction and was sidelined for most of the year. He returned to play in the Dogs' three finals before they were knocked out by Geelong in last year's preliminary final.
This year, after an impressive pre-season, things were looking good. Aside from a recurring adductor problem, which kept him sidelined for two weeks earlier in the season, Higgins learnt to play through the injury and was displaying a consistency and flair that made everyone in the football world take notice.
Then, after aggravating his groin injury during the Dogs' 45-point loss to St Kilda in round 17, he tore his right hamstring in the third quarter and has been forced to miss the Dogs' past three games. He will return for Friday's clash against Geelong.
''I've had a really bad run with injuries,'' Higgins said.
''Obviously when you first get drafted and you come in, all you want to do as a young guy is play games and to prove yourself at the top level rather than talk about expectations and what you could become while you're constantly battling injuries.
''But I think it actually makes you a better player and a better person and you go about your footy a little bit differently. When you get back, you make the most of the opportunities and probably don't dwell on little bits of bad form or other little injuries you get along the way.''
He admitted that he has sometimes wondered whether his body was cut out for it, but has found solace in the fact that most of his injuries have been impact injuries that he's been able to overcome quickly.
Before his latest setback, some commentators were calling Higgins the AFL's most exciting talent, but he said he has always been conscious of not letting the attention take his focus off the task at hand.
''It's nice to be recognised or talked about like that, but I'm never really satisfied after any game and want to become a much better player,'' he said.
He is ranked equal third at the club for goals, equal second in goal assists and third at the club for scoreboard impact, but openly admits he wants to spend more time in the midfield than up forward.
''Ideally I'd love to become a midfielder,'' he said. ''I played a fair bit in the midfield early in the season but due to the groin injury I haven't been able to run as much as we had planned for.
''I guess the role I'm playing at the moment is similar to an on-ball midfielder who can sneak forward and kick a couple of goals, which I'm really enjoying, but would I love to get to the level of players like Alan Didak, Gary Ablett, Steve Johnson.
''Then you've got [teammate] Brad Johnson, who couldn't be a better role model in terms of work rate and playing that small forward who has played in the midfield in the past, so I've got some great people at the club that I am learning a lot from.''
Bulldogs coach Rodney Eade is a big Higgins fan and said he has been blown away by his leadership qualities.
''He handles himself very maturely, he's very focused on being the best player he can be but he also offers great support for other players and his maturity is beyond his years,'' Eade said.
When the leadership group needed someone to replace Scott West after his retirement last year, the team had no doubts. .
''It was unanimous from even the players who are older and have been here for longer than Shaun that they wanted him there,'' Eade said. ''They thought that it would be good for his club and his own development that Shaun needed to be in the leadership group because they saw him as a future leader.
''The fact that he's had big injuries every year I think is a good [gauge] of his mental toughness as he has got through and never lost focus of what he wants to achieve. It's a great show of character.''
While he proudly wears the famous No. 7 guernsey and has been spoken of as a future Bulldogs captain, Higgins said: ''I've still got a lot to learn about leadership and just being an AFL player, and I'm still young and I'm just looking forward to developing both player and leadership qualities first.''
One of four siblings raised in Geelong by parents Mick and Shelly, Higgins began playing at seven years old and progressed through to the Geelong Falcons.
His parents and siblings - Kristy, 23, Danielle, 19 and Matthew, 15 - all changed allegiances from the Cats when he was recruited to Whitten Oval.
But Higgins said the most important thing driving him is his desire to win a premiership.
''I'd love to be a Bulldogs player for the rest of my life and be a one-club player and hopefully I can do that and along the way have that team success and ultimately win a premiership,'' he said. ''I've got no doubt we're heading in the right direction.''

Lawsuit Challenges Vacation-Rental Crackdown
By Keith Hamm, Santa Barbara Independent
The City of Santa Barbara’s escalating crackdown on short-term vacation rentals has experienced plenty of expected backlash, the latest of which claims in court that the city’s position violates California’s formidable Coastal Act, a 40-year-old law designed to balance development pressures along the coast with conservation efforts and public access. The lawsuit — filed this week by Theo Kracke, owner of Paradise Retreats, which manages 27 short-term rentals within city limits — is buoyed by state law requiring relatively affordable overnight lodging along the coast. According to the suit, “[Short-term vacation rentals] serve as a lower cost alternative to renting hotel or motel rooms for families and small groups from diverse demographic sectors and incomes to enjoy coastal access.”

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West knew each other long before they started dating and formalizing their relationship in April 2012. “We met almost a decade ago, we’ve been friends for six or seven years, so it’s very comforting to have someone who knows everything about you, who respects you, understands you, and has had similar experiences, “Kim Kardashian said on the Oprah set in June 2012. And once in a relationship the two lovebirds did not wait long to form their families. In 2013, Kim Kardashian gave birth to her first daughter: North. Followed in 2015 by Saint, Chicago in 2018 and Psalm in 2019 (the last two being born thanks to surrogate mothers).
Highly publicized, the couple did not hesitate to appear during the important moments of their history, in particular in 2013 when Kanye West entirely rented the AT&T stadium in San Francisco to ask Kim Kardashian in marriage. “Please Marry Me” was simply marked on a giant screen. Kim Kardashian and Kanye West finally said “yes” on Saturday, May 24, 2014, at Forte Belvedere in Italy during a very private ceremony, after a grandiose meeting held privately in Versailles.
Kim Kardashian, Kanye West: “famous”, KFC, hologram
Another moment that marked the spirits: the appearance of Kim Kardashian in the rapper’s “Famous” clip. You could see a multitude of famous people (including Kim Kardashian and Kanye West) naked in a bed! We also remember when the couple went in February 2020 to a KFC in the 10th arrondissement to order … a bucket to take away!
Recently, rapper Kanye West has shaken the web by offering Kim Kardashian a hologram of his father who died in 2003 for his birthday! Very moved, the star of social networks spoke on her Twitter account to present her thanks: “A hologram from heaven. For my birthday, Kanye gave me the most thoughtful gift of my life. A special surprise in direct from heaven. A hologram of my dad. It’s so realistic, we watched it over and over again, with lots of tears and emotions. I can’t describe what it means to me, my sisters, my brother, my mom and my close friends for going through this together. Thank you Kanye for this memory that will last forever. ”

Surrounded by golden oak-studded hills with a brilliant blue sky overhead and a soft breeze, we wander up and down neatly planted rows chock-full of juicy red raspberries and strawberries glistening in the sun, ripe for the pickin’. And, yes, we are picking. Here at The Farm•Stead (2323 Old Coast Hwy Rd., Gaviota, 310/918-9400, farmsteadca.com), nestled between Buellton and Gaviota, you can pick your own organic produce, depending on the season, from berries, husk cherries and string beans to tomatoes, pumpkins and cut flowers.
This little corner of heaven has a rich agricultural history. Homesteader Natale Giorgi settled here in 1898, first operating the farm as a dairy, and then transitioning to grain and row crops. The farm stayed in the Giorgi family for generations, and was sold in 2011 to a neighboring family with a deep love for the land and a vision of letting it remain agricultural and sustainable for future generations.
Farm to Abel
Abel Basch came on in July 2014 and quickly filled well-worn boots as the new farmer. His 10-acre farm oozes rustic charm and is a picture-perfect model of sustainability. Everything grown on the farm is certified organic, and it’s all (except what you pick) sold at the Farm•Stead shop, which is housed in a vintage weathered-wood and tin barn. The expanded weekend market offers more local products such as homemade baked goods, honey, eggs, granola, cold brew coffee and olive oil (open daily; check their website for current offerings).
Farmer Abel, sporting a perpetual smile and tattered straw hat, is a passionate practitioner of permaculture, which he studied at a five-month program in Israel. He believes in the philosophy’s practices of working with, rather than against, nature. “For instance, we’re growing cilantro year-round—it attracts beneficial insects. You don’t have to use pesticides.”
Everything is put to good use on the farm. Leftover veggies are tossed in a tub that visitors can use to feed the resident Kune Kune pigs, Sicilian mini donkeys, llamas and Nigerian dwarf goats, which graze happily on the hillside behind the farm shop. Abel also puts up the farm’s bounty of berries in preserves (strawberry-with-a-hint-of-mint jam, anyone?) and confesses, “I was up until midnight making ketchup last night!”
After filling your baskets in the U-pick rows, visiting the animals and stocking up at the farm shop, you’ll want to wander around a bit. As Abel says, “Walk around the fields and check it out…it’s your food!”
Clusters of other farms in Santa Ynez Valley offer U-pick options. Just down the road from The Farm•Stead is Santa Barbara Blueberries at Restoration Oaks Ranch (1980 US Hwy. 101, Gaviota, 805/686-5718, santabarbarablueberries.com), where you can pluck raspberries and blueberries and pick up some organic produce at their farm stand while you’re at it. Blueberries start ripening in June and July, but if the weather is especially cooperative, they may open as early as April and go into August or September. On a good day, you can easily pick a couple pounds of blueberries in 15 minutes. Take ’em home and check the ranch website for mouthwatering recipes like lemon raspberry muffins and blueberry bourbon barbecue sauce.
Summerset Farm (3450 Baseline Ave., Santa Ynez, 805/245-0989) is a picturesque produce stand and U-pick berry farm where you can help yourself to herbicide- and pesticide-free raspberries, blackberries and strawberries in their seasons from June until the end of October. Proprietor Sally Maher gives pickers their baskets, points them in the right direction and encourages, “Take two for yourself and one for the basket…and if you’re really enthusiastic, you can pull some weeds for me.” Fall brings a giant pumpkin patch with pumpkins, squash and gourds galore against a backdrop of golden sunflowers.
After a day down on the farm, you’ve earned your bragging rights to spotlight your tomatoes in a fresh salad, serve up that berry pie or cobbler, swirl them into a smoothie or devour them straight up—the added satisfaction that you’ve done the picking yourself makes them taste all the sweeter.

We hope that you also enjoy your trip to Bavaria while you join us for an authentic serving of Gemütlichkeit at the Bavarian Bierhaus.
Fri, Sat 11:00 am–11:00 pm
Good representation of a Bierhaus in the US! Great Food and Great Beer! Fun Times!
Fun bavarian bierhaus. food is german food, not great but not bad. come for the experience of a Oktoberfest bierhaus atmosphere with live music and audience participation activities and German beer.
Sausage plate selected was good. Schnitzel plate was fried perfectly but meat itself was very tough and dry. Not the best German meal experience we've ever had had.
Having missed our annual pilgrimage to Milwaukee for Germanfest and not being in town for Nashville’s Octoberfest, this German couple were getting a little hard up for some Octoberfest fun. So we grabbed 6 friends and headed to The Bavarian Bierhaus on a Friday night.
Overall, it was a great experience and lots of fun. They had a good selection of bier. The food was authentic and outstanding with the exception of the sauerbraten which one of our party said was dry. We had the giant pretzel nd potato pancakes for apps,. Try the house mage mustard...awesome! My wife had the rouladen and I tried several of the sausages on a combo plate. Both were excellent. The sausages are Usinger out of Milwaukee and I think they are the best. One of our friends had the currywurst. Didn’t know such a thing exsisted but it sure was good.
The only downside of the place was the band. They were a Pink Floyd cover band that did all PF muic as polkas. Fun for a while but pretty bad overall for “the music city”. Extreamly loud! Personally, Imwould think a traditional German band would go a long way for Octoberfest.
So, Bavarian Bierhaus, we will be back for your awesome food and bier, but not on a weekend when there is a band.
The food was not real Bavarian! Sauerkraut was bland...porkchop was tough. The music by Polka Floyd was the worst I have ever heard in a German restaurant. We ate and left....probably will not return. Pricey for the quality. Music, if you call it that, was so noisy the wait person could not hear our menu selection. Impossible to have a table conversation. Extremely disappointed on our first visit.
Had so much fun!
The couple providing the music was entertaining and very musically talented. They both interacted with the crowd while on stage and off stage during a break.
They brought back fantastic memories for me from when I lived in Germany. Just too much fun!
Having live in Germany and spoken the language we were excited to find Bierhaus before our trip to the Opry (sounds odd to combine the two but it wasn’t). Great authentic Jaeger Schnitzel, great German music with some country mixed in for the tourists. We will return.
Terrific menu offering tasty recipes, unfortunately the timing was way off... Entrees where served just moments after the appetizers arrived. One member of our party of 4 was served cold food 15 minutes after the rest of the party...
Started off well, as got seated early, but got stuck at “that table”. You know, the one bsck by the kitchen, unable to see the musicians playing or really take part in the beer festival atmosphere.
Our waitress was fantastic though and took our drink orders and answered all our menu questions.
We mentioned that we needed skip appetizers as we had tickets to a show 2 hours later. Recieved our drinks quickly but then more than half hour passed before server came out w a huge pretzel, stating free, as kitchen was backed up. After another half hour or so, we got free drinks, and asked about our meals. They were finally brought out, after tables of folk arriving after us had already gotten their meals. We finally got our food and were told we were being Comped, which we appreciated. We had to gobble up our food (which was delicious) and rush to arrive at our show on time. So indigestion later....
We ARE thankful for our waitress being so sweet and nicely tipped her, but Mgt needs to improve the kitchen. And wouldve appreciated Mgt visiting us, but no sign of any. And would’ve much preferred to he celebrating the birthday at a more central table.
We ll return here at some point, to try again, but will refuse to be stuck in the far corner again. Delicious German food and music though.
It was Oktoberfest and the had a live Band, great food and great Beer.
Great food, great beer but service is not great. Went with a group of 5 had a great time and enjoyed the food but server was in a rush to take order right off the bat and once the food came he was hard to find to order drink refills ext.
Music is great and overall I love the place. But from my experience the servers I have had are not top notch.
Very fun with delicious food and beverages. Great service
Always like to try German Restrauant’s while traveling and was hasatant of this one being in a large shopping mall. Gla$ we gav3 it a try. The hostess wa# friendly, our waiter was helpful and knowledgeable. Great beer selection and many options on the menu.
Came with a group of 14. They did a good job taking care of us all. Thank you!
The seating hostess was unfriendly and uninvolved. Sat us at the worst table (almost in the kitchen )in the gargantuan hall-like place even when there were many better choices available. Once we changed tables to the bar the service was good but the food was long time coming and was cold amd tasteless. Not going back. Don't recommend.
Slightly disappointed with the apple strudel - will not order again- too soggy.
they did not have the dessert we wanted and did not have mashed potatoes - although the Spaetzle was delicious.
Service was so bad that our whole meal was comped. It was really a miserable experience.
My favorite was the pretzel pudding
Excellent beer selection I loved the mac & cheese will go there again
Had a birthday lunch with our family.
Great German beer and food. The schnitzel is huge. Sausages also great. Try the beer tasting samplers to find your favorite beer.
Great food. Trilene is a fantastic server.
Good food but too loud to enjoy the company I came with.
The condiments for the kid friendly food wasn’t kid friendly.
They should offer American basics for the less adventurous eaters.
I’m a foodie but my other family members were disappointed that there wasn’t basic mayo, mustard and ketchup to eat with their “Safe” chicken fingers and fries.
I really wanted to love this restaurant. I've been to many beerhalls in Germany and I was so hopeful that this would bring authentic German food/drink/music to Nashville. This was our second trip for dinner. The atmosphere is great, the look is very traditional German. But - the food on both of our trips was very disappointing. Spaetzel that was mushy and overcooked, kraut and red cabbage straight out of the jar, rouladen that was drowning in canned gravy, pork roast that was over half pure fat. We also got the dessert plate with a soggy thing that was supposed to be apfelstrudel, a Black Forest cake that had some kind of gooey gelatin in it, and some nasty pretzel bread pudding that was just hard lumps of yesterday's stale pretzels in a gelatinous goo. None of this food tasted authentic. Our guest of honor was our German friend and she was appalled at the quality of the food as were we. And to top it off this disgusting school cafeteria food was very expensive. Each entree was at least $19. And there was music - a duo that played accordion and guitar and sang. They were not terrible but every other tune was an old American tune. I felt like they should just stick with the German/polka tunes considering where they were. On a positive note - the beer was great! All in all, it was a $200 disappointment. We will not be back. Makes me sad.
It was worth the drive from Clarksville on a Friday night. The service was excellent and the food was good. Oompah-pah music was good. Noise level was loud, but it is a beer hall after all. We enjoyed everything about our night at the Bavarian Bierhaus. We will return! Don’t forget to try the apple strudel for dessert!
Good but very loud and with such an open room couldn’t really hear the entertainment.
I lived in Germany and the food tasted exactly as I anticipated. Fun experience!
Great food. Live music great, but too loud. Couldn't hear what anyone at our table was saying.
Our server was inattentive and kind of rude. They refused to sing happy birthday to my boyfriend, and were stingy with the sauce when asked to take some to go. the portions were large however and the music was nice
Really a fun restaurant for family and groups. Enjoyed the music and the food and the decor of the restaurant. Like being back in Munich in October.
We went for a family gathering and loved it. The food and atmosphere was great. We will definitely be going back!
Beer is awesome. Traditional German food. Flammenkuchen is one of their best offerings.
Our waitress was very nice and my husband said the beer was good. However, I found the food to be bland, and the fries were lukewarm. No band was playing the day we were there.
Authentic German food. German beers. Bierhall atmosphere. Polka band. What could be better?
Fun atmosphere and delicious food! Music was fun and you can dance if you want to. Large tables.
I had a very fatty piece of pork. The only reason I would say that I would recommend it to a friend is to try something different. I should have gone with the Saurbratten as I originally wanted to! The staff was very nice. I felt that because it is a family setting, the hostesses were revealing a bit busty for kids!!
German beer hall atmosphere, pretzel was good, bier cheese dip not so good, German beer was excellent,but a .5 l was $9.50 way above norm. My sausage plate was ok,but the sauerkraut,cuke salad lacked the normal German spices,very bland. The other three diners all echoed my sentiments. I had spoke strudel for dessert same comment very bland, no raisins,no spice.
Went here for a birthday dinner and it was great! Very reminiscent of the Beer Garden at Epcot/Disney World. We went on a Saturday night and had no trouble getting seated (we reserved on Open Table but were early and they sat us right away), there was live music that was fun and interactive with the audience, service and food were great and the desserts were delicious! The little gift shop by the registers is a lot of fun too. All the staff were very nice, the restaurant was large and busy but very clean. Really enjoyed our evening here!
Great food, great atmosphere, great everything! Authentic German food. Karen on the Accordion provided wonderful entertainment. Prices were quite reasonable with huge portions. You have to get a pretzel with mustard and beer cheese! My family and I are from Louisville, KY, but were so pleased to find this gem while on the road. If you are anywhere near Bavarian Bierhaus, make a stop! It's SO worth it!
We do not get many opportunities to enjoy German foods and biers, so we seized the moment. We enjoyed the experience.


Toyota Motor Co. was established as an independent and separate firm in 1937. The development of external combustion engines is detailed as part of the history of the car , but often treated separately from the development of true vehicles. Automobile recycling helps conserve vitality as recycling one kilogram of steel saves enough power to energy a 60-watt mild bulb for 85 hours.
Within the United States, brothers Charles and Frank Duryea based the Duryea Motor Wagon Company in 1893, turning into the primary American automobile manufacturing company. Benz constructed his first three-wheeled automobile in 1885 and it was granted a patent in Mannheim, dated January of 1886.
The auto is prepared with carbon-ceramic Brembo discs on the the front (398 mm) and rear (380 mm), with the automobile sitting on Pirelli P zero Corsa tires measuring 265/30 R 19 and 345/30 R 20 respectively. Two years later, in 1902, a brand new model DMG automobile was produced and the mannequin was named Mercedes after the Maybach engine which generated 35 hp. Maybach quit DMG shortly thereafter and opened a business of his personal.
Because the automobile trade has matured over the previous decade, the auto parts business has additionally grown at a fast tempo and is fast reaching world competitiveness both when it comes to price and high quality. Maybe no invention affected American on a regular basis life within the twentieth century greater than the automobile.
Robotic welding on the automobile assembly line on the Toyota Motor Company, Japan. The four-stroke precept upon which most modern automobile engines work was found by a French engineer, Alphonse Beau de Rochas , in 1862, a year before Lenoir ran his car from Paris to Joinville-le-Pont.
