The Rams Men’s Basketball team pulled out a much-needed 68-60 win Jan. 31 when they traveled to Fitchburg to face off against the Falcons.
This game was a must win for both teams – as neither team’s record is proving worthy of a MASCAC playoff run. The winner of the conference battle will end up in a much better position come postseason.
Framingham State started the game oJ strong by drawing fouls and applying pressure down low. They led the game 9-3 five minutes into the first half thanks to a hot start from sophomore forward Joshua-Daniel Okafor.
Okafor played a large scoring role throughout the game and also pitched in with seven rebounds to help slow the pace of the game.
Despite the Rams pulling out to an early lead, Fitchburg State was able to keep the game close throughout the first half.
The Rams were able to keep up with Fitchburg’s pace due to their great defense and limitation of turnovers on offense.
Framingham State finished the half with a total of seven steals and only turned the ball over twice throughout the first 20 minutes of the match.
Guard Brett Okundaye also helped the Rams stay consistent on offense, contributing seven points in the half and two rebounds as well.
The buzzer sounded to end the first half with the Falcons leading 30-27. Although the Rams went into the locker room down on the scoreboard, it was clear that FSU had a game plan for Fitchburg’s offense and defense.
It was a hard fought contest through the first 10 minutes of the second half. Both teams were
converting on hard fought layups and clean jumpers.
The Rams were given a huge confidence boost by Okafor once again throughout the second half. With nine minutes left in the quarter, Okafor was able to slam it in for two – giving the Rams momentum to close oJ the game.
With just under seven minutes to play, the Rams were holding strong on defense and taking good care of the ball on offense.
Despite valiant effort from the Falcons to bring it back, a layup scored by Okafor at the two-minute mark and a three from sophomore guard Ivan Nyantenji put the game out of reach.
The Rams won the conference battle against Fitchburg State 68-60. Although both Fitchburg and FSU are having their struggles this season, this game was an incredible display of team basketball on both sides.
The game’s top scorer, JD Okafor, praised his teammates after the game despite his monstrous night on the stat sheet.
“This was our first game having our full team together again and we executed well tonight,” said Okafor.
The team has struggled staying healthy whether it be due to illness or injury, but a full roster
undoubtedly helped the Rams in this win.
Okafor also added, “I was glad my teammates were looking for me, so I could help out a lot with the win.”
The ball movement from the Rams offense helped open up scoring opportunities for Okafor throughout the game.
The Rams unfortunately fell in their most recent match vs. Westfield State Feb. 2, 77-49. The men’s basketball team looks to capitalize in their remaining games starting with Fitchburg once again Saturday afternoon Feb. 5.

Response to "Requiem" Dawei Xu
I didn't agree much with the message given in the video "Requiem" by Dawei Xu. Certainly no one can disagree that industrialization and advancement destroys the customs and traditions of a city or cultural. However, I believe that the "death knoll" type music was a little over the top. It is said the the history and culture of the street was dug up with the cobblestone street; however, it is important to realize that the traditions being torn up are not traditions throughout man-kind, but just over a few generations. The cobblestone road replace the traditions before it, just as the highway that was just built will be replaced in a hundred-years by the traditions of the future.

Evaluating artificial intelligence (AI) products can sometimes be confusing. New AI products appear every day and are challenging to determine which products are truly powered by AI and which are veneers on top of the latest generative AI. The AI hype caused the US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to issue a warning to software vendors to “Keep your AI claims in Check,” so they don’t overstate AI capabilities. Therefore, you need to understand the relationships among all of the different AI terms so you can make smart decisions about bringing AI into your business.
FTC Warns About Misleading AI Claims
The FTC is warning emphasizing the importance of transparency and accuracy when making claims about artificial intelligence (AI) products and services. The FTC is concerned that misleading AI claims may harm consumers and undermine trust in the technology. To avoid potential issues, companies should take care to substantiate AI claims, disclose the technology’s limitations, and protect user privacy.
- Companies must have a reasonable basis for their AI-related claims, including claims about performance, data privacy, and data security. They should be able to substantiate their claims with reliable and relevant evidence.
- The FTC emphasizes the importance of transparency in AI decision-making processes. Companies should clearly explain to consumers how decisions affecting them are made, what data is used, and what factors are considered.
- Companies should consider external validation to bolster the credibility of their AI claims. This might include certifications, third-party testing, or expert evaluations.
- Software companies should avoid making overly broad or unsupported claims about AI in products and services.
How to Know When Products Actually Use AI
Determining how a product or service uses AI begins with understanding and differentiation among AI terms. If you don’t understand the capabilities, the inputs, the outputs, the training data, and what they mean, then how are you going to make informed decisions?
We will help you evaluate AI products and arm you with questions you can ask AI vendors to make sure what they are delivering is really AI and not hard-coded logic.
What do all of the AI terms mean?
Many people are uncertain about the meaning of terms like artificial intelligence, machine learning (ML), and natural language generation (NLG). It can be difficult to know what products or services are really powered by AI and which ones are using other technologies. To help understand more about these technologies, it is important to define each term and learn how each is applied inside of AI products you are evaluating.
What is Artificial Intelligence (AI)?
Artificial intelligence is the capability of a computer system to mimic human cognitive functions such as learning and problem-solving. Through AI, a computer system uses math and logic to simulate the reasoning that people use to learn from new information and make decisions.
What is Machine Learning (ML)?
Machine learning is an application of AI. It’s the process of using mathematical models of data to help a computer learn without direct instruction. This enables a computer system to continue learning and improving on its own, based on experience.
What is Natural Language Processing (NLP)?
Natural language processing, which evolved from computational linguistics, uses methods from various disciplines, such as computer science, artificial intelligence, linguistics, and data science, to enable computers to understand human language in both written and verbal forms.
NLP seeks to convert unstructured language data into a structured data format to enable machines to understand speech and text and formulate relevant, contextual responses. Its subtopics include natural language processing and natural language generation.
What is Natural Language Understanding (NLU)?
Natural language understanding is a subset of natural language processing, which uses syntactic and semantic analysis of text and speech to determine the meaning of a sentence.
NLU focuses on machine reading comprehension through grammar and context, enabling it to determine the intended meaning of a sentence.
What is Natural Language Generation (NLG)?
Natural language generation is another subset of natural language processing. While natural language understanding focuses on computer reading comprehension, natural language generation enables computers to write.
Natural language generation focuses on text generation, or the construction of text in English or other languages, by a machine and based on a given dataset.
Questions to ask vendors about AI in their products
When evaluating AI products, it’s essential to ask the right questions about how the technology is applied. Asking vendors specific questions about their AI implementation will help you identify whether their product truly utilizes artificial intelligence or just hard-coded logic. I provided a list of useful questions to help you evaluate a vendor’s claims to ensure there is AI in the product. When asking vendors about their AI products, seek answers that provide evidence such as detailed explanations of algorithms used or user stories that demonstrate how the technology is being applied and what data was used in training the models. Asking these questions will help you gain a better understanding of the product and its capabilities. Investing in an AI product requires careful consideration and asking the right questions is a key part of that process. You want to make sure your investment will yield a positive return and provide value for your organization.
What type of machine learning are you performing?
When assessing AI in a product, it is important to ask the vendor about the type of machine learning they are performing. Questions should focus on data predictors, anomalies, categorization, and classifications. These are all essential components for any successful AI algorithm. Ask vendors what specific types of algorithms they employ for their artificial intelligence product and how they are applied. Also, ask for a detailed explanation of the data that is used in training their machine learning models and what techniques were used to extract useful insights from it. Understand how their AI solution can be beneficial to your company and its operations. This will help you make an informed decision when investing in their product.
How are you using NLP?
Asking vendors about the NLP used in their products is equally important. If they are claiming to utilize NLP, ask them if they can detect sentiment and intent from text or speech. This type of analysis requires machine learning models that are specifically trained on large datasets with labeled examples of text and sentiment. Additionally, ask if the AI can initiate the next action based on the sentiment or intent detected. This requires a more advanced understanding of language since it is necessary to comprehend what the user wants and then initiate more automation. Initiating more automation from user inputs helps your organization move more work from your people to software. Doing so adds speed and efficiency to your business so you can increase outputs with the same or less work.
How are you using generative AI and NLG?
Generative AI and natural language generation (NLG) are two important aspects of AI that enable machines to generate text from a given dataset. When asking vendors about their NLG implementations, ask them how the NLG is trained, what type of training data is used, and if you can add your own training data. Understanding the data used to train the NLG is key since it will determine how accurate and useful the generated results are. Additionally, ask if the NLG can produce different texts when given multiple datasets. This requires a highly sophisticated form of AI that can comprehend multiple data sources and generate relevant insights from it. Lastly, inquire about the ability to customize and control generated texts according to your specific needs. This will help you ensure that the NLG is meeting the standards of accuracy and relevance set by your organization.
Asking intelligent questions about AI
Investing in an AI product requires careful consideration and asking the right questions is a key part of that process. Asking vendors about their AI products and specific components such as machine learning, NLP, generative AI, and NLG will help you gain a better understanding of the product and its capabilities. Understanding the data used to train the AI models and the ability to customize generated texts will also help you make an informed decision when investing in a product. Doing your due diligence is essential to ensure that your investment yields positive returns for your organization.

Scott King: Hello everyone, I’m Scott King, and with me is Chris Kraus. Today, we’re discussing what AI really is and how to effectively evaluate AI products. We’ll provide you with questions to ask vendors, integrators, and anyone claiming to have AI. This is based on a recent FTC article that emphasizes the importance of truthful marketing claims and evidence-backed statements in the AI market.
Chris Kraus: Absolutely.
Scott King: The FTC wants companies to have a reasonable basis for their AI-related claims. This means that claims must be truthful, and there should be data privacy and security. Companies need to substantiate their claims and maintain transparency in AI decision-making, such as addressing bias and considering the data used. External validation, like third-party testing or peer reviews, can bolster credibility. Additionally, businesses should avoid making overly broad or unsupported claims. Chris and I have been marketing software for a while now, and we’ve seen it all.
Chris Kraus: Indeed, we have.
Scott King: Let’s discuss some definitions and provide a baseline understanding of AI.
Chris Kraus: Having a basic understanding of these terms can help you become a more informed buyer. It’s essential to ask vendors questions and determine if their product truly includes AI or ML or if they’re just “AI-washing.”
Scott King: So, Chris, when you hear AI, what does that acronym mean to you?
Chris Kraus: AI stands for artificial intelligence. A good definition from Azure is, “Artificial intelligence is the capability of a computer system to mimic human cognitive functions, such as learning and problem-solving.” AI involves computer systems using math and logic to simulate reasoning, learn from new information, and make decisions.
Scott King: Makes sense. Another term often used is ML. Are AI and ML the same thing? What does ML mean to you?
Chris Kraus: ML stands for machine learning. It’s a subset of AI that involves computers learning and improving from experience without being explicitly programmed. While AI refers to the broader concept of machines being able to carry out tasks in a way that we would consider “smart,” ML is a specific application of AI that focuses on the development of computer programs that can access data and use it to learn for themselves.
Chris Kraus: In this case, machine learning is the application of AI. It’s a process of using mathematical models of data to help computers learn without direct instruction. This enables computer systems to learn and improve on their own based on experience. Machine learning continuously learns as data changes. It’s basically a lot of math, and it’s the math of how we perform artificial intelligence.
Scott King: Okay, makes sense. So it learns by itself.
Chris Kraus: Now, there are tons of math algorithms, chat GPT, generative AI, classical predictors, and forecasting engines. When you hear NLP, Scott, what does NLP sound like to you?
Scott King: I know this one because I follow English football. So NLP is a football academy
Chris Kraus: Of course, but it’s actually natural language processing. There are categories of machine learning, and probably the most common one is natural language processing. It’s about taking unstructured language and breaking it down into parts that a computer software can act upon.
If natural language processing is here, there’s also NLU and NLG. NLU is natural language understanding. It’s a subset of natural language processing, which uses syntax and semantic analysis of text to determine the meaning of a sentence. There’s a lot of learning models to figure out how to do that.
Scott King: The only thing I can think of is a crisp right now.
Chris Kraus: Or I need to go up the lift because I need to lift myself to the second story of my apartment.
Scott King: Lift makes sense to me. I totally understand why they call it that. So NLU is underneath NLP, right? So in order to process it, I have to first understand it.
Chris Kraus: Yeah, now the NLG is probably the one that everybody’s talking about. They just don’t know that’s what it’s called. So Scott, what is NLG?
Scott King: Is it National Leisure and Gaming?
Chris Kraus: In some countries, but in this context, we’re talking about natural language processing. In the context of this conversation, NLG is natural language generation. It is actually a subset of NLP. So you’ve got NLP, and then you’ve got NLU and NLG. NLU is understanding what someone wrote. NLG, on the other hand, focuses on generating text. It’s what makes a computer write. This is why a lot of people are playing with ChatGPT – you can give it data and it will write you a paragraph or an essay. It parses the information, plans and writes sentences, and then proofreads for grammar and punctuation, checking tenses as well.
Scott King: You talked about ChatGPT, and a lot of the chatter I see is about the prompts. So if I can make the generative AI understand me better and understand with greater context and greater detail and more constraints around the answer that I want, it can generate a better answer for me.
Chris Kraus: Right, so it won’t mess up things like whether a story is a noun or an adjective.
Scott King: Yeah, or a story is a street here in Dallas, too. So that’s kind of a deep dive into those. And inquisitively, when you get into AI, there’s a lot of AI out there. But I wanted to kind of explain those, because that’s what people are really, I think there’s going to be a lot of whitewashing on that.
Chris Kraus: There are certain things that are AI that have been around for a really long time, and people forget about them. Like speech to text, text to speech, and OCR. These things have been around for a very long time. The NLP and NLU concepts have been there, but the technology has gotten much better and faster recently. We’ve also seen this with image recognition. There’s a whole bunch of other ML models out there, and the trick is those are sometimes hard to distinguish.
Scott King: So Chris, on your predictors and the things that you just went through, so if I want to find that in a product that I’m evaluating, what question do I ask? How do I find out what type of machine learning they have in their product?
Chris Kraus: You can ask them, “What algorithms or what math do you use for your predictors, your categorizations, your anomalies?” And then the other thing is like, well, are they actual well-known algorithms? Also, ask about the continuous training to learn and provide different answers.
Scott King: Okay, so that’s on the machine learning side and we were talking about NLP and NLG earlier. If they claim to have NLP, how do we help people understand that they actually have NLP in their product, or do they just have a bunch of people in the back office scripting the conversations?
Chris Kraus: The trick is to see if they’re applying natural language understanding to something. Are they understanding the sentiment of the user? What’s the intent of the email? Are they applying understanding to identify a problem and solve it, or are they providing information back through natural language generation? The idea is to see if they’re applying that and if they get smarter over time because they have more examples of emails to read and understand the intent.
Scott King: That seems like a big issue because even if you understand a little bit and you understand a great bit, that’s a huge differentiator, right? There’s enormous value in there.
Chris Kraus: You could say, what’s the status of my order 123? You don’t need natural language processing to do that. You could just use a regular expression and say, give me the number in the sentence and then look it up in a back-end system and reply back. That’s not natural language processing understanding. If you ask the questions five different ways, did it still figure out the intent and associate the data with it correctly?
Scott King: Most of the chatter is on the generation side, like content generation, writing emails, writing responses back to customers, conversation bots on websites. If someone claims to have generative AI in their product and especially if they say they’re just gonna put GPT in there, what do I ask them to make sure that there’s actually generative AI in the product versus just some list of hard-coded answers?
Chris Kraus: If they have you build forms and then plug in information like the customer name, that’s not natural language generation. Natural language generation would read information like the customer’s name, address, account information, and whether they’re displeased with customer service, and then generate a response based on that. If they’re using form fills or if-then-else logic like in an Excel spreadsheet, they’re not really using natural language generation.
Scott King:: So the idea is to ask smart questions to get smart answers. This will help everyone evaluate different AI products and bring AI into their enterprise. Thanks, Chris.

11. Sandals Grande St. Lucian
A honeymoon hot spot called Sandals Grande St Lucian has been named among the most romantic places in the world to go on a trip with your new husband or wife. The resort was intended to bring guests back to a simpler time when honeymoons have always been about having fun with each other and savoring the bliss of being married.
One of the best things about the resort is that it pays attention to every little thing, from the lighting to the welcome presents to the dedicated butlers to the suites. Newlyweds get their own fun time each night.
The single most important thing about this hotel is the view. It looks out over the Caribbean Sea with blue ocean and white sand. Guests will feel like they’re in dreamland the moment they arrive at Sandals Grande St Lucian. The hotel gives couples a free private beach to enjoy.
12. Sandals Royal Barbados (St. Lawrence Gap)
Most people who read Condé Nast Traveler said that Sandals Royal Barbados was the best place for a honeymoon. It’s in the middle of St. Lawrence Gap and has a great view of the Caribbean Sea, so it’s a fantastic place to stay. The resort has a multitude of unique things for honeymooners, like gifts, dinner under the stars, and a romance package that includes champagne breakfast in the morning.
Sandals Royal Barbados Resort & Spa has the most lavish honeymoons because they pamper couples with 24-hour butlers who will take care of every need, no matter how big or small. A honeymoon at this resort comes with private beach casitas with butler service, a welcome present, dinner for two, and a champagne breakfast. This resort also has a wedding chapel.

Before the many, there came the few, before the common, there came the rare. A group that we rely on for the very basis of our existence was once seen as a useless material.
The bell rang, Alec Gundam looked up from his book as the person walked in, escaping the bitter mantle cold. The silver eyed boy stood.
“Welcome,” he said, a smile stretched across his face. The man nodded and looked around the lobby.
“Do you already have a room or--?” The redhead started, the man shook his head.
“Are there any openings?” he asked. The boy nodded and spun around to the shelf behind him.
“Room 53, left hall, 250 lein a night.” Alec said, spinning around again with the key in his hand. The man nodded in thanks and gave the boy a small bundle of bills. Then he took the key and left.
The boy sighed and picked up his book again. Opening to the part he was at, he continued reading.
Dust, the most valuable substance in our world today, was found in a basic iron mine in the then kingdom of Lebark (modern day Vale). The substance was very interesting to the miners because they provided a soft glow in the dark. But that was far from their only purpose.
“Here you go kid.” the man said. Lyndsy Archide looked up from her book. She was in the bakery of downtown Vale. On the counter was a apple pie, steaming from the oven’s heat. The smell of apples filled the air as the blonde haired girl breathed deeply.
“Sorry it took so long.” the man said. Lyndsy shook her head as she stood.
“Well worth the wait.”She said, handing the man a bag of valors.
“Would you like me to box it up for you?” the man said. Lyndsy nodded and sat down as the man picked the pie back up. She picked up her book and opened it as her blue eyes scanned through the pages at a rapid pace.
The first person to take notice of the dust’s potential was the last emperor of Lebark. The man was given a necklace made out of red dust for his birthday. Later when putting it in his chambers, he slipped and fell, dropping the gift. When it hit the floor, it exploded into a small fire.
And with that the true power of the “useless substance” was found.
Isaac looked up as a shadow covered his light. It was a large cloud, moving swiftly against the Vaccuan skies. The white haired boy looked around his campsite, his small tent and fire sat unmoved, though covered in sand. He looked at the map next to him and the devices on the makeshift table. He had better keep moving.
Standing, the blue shirted boy picked up his mapping tools, packing up his tent and extinguishing his fire he continued into the wild desert. Holding the book in one hand as he held his bag in his other and his collapsed tent on his back. Soon, the substance was used for everything from heat to major war weapons, the other kingdoms began to get jealous of Lebark, why are they the only ones who got this technology. It was clear that soon, the kingdom would have to defend its precious substance.
“Nicole!” A voice called. The brown haired girl looked up from her book. Her partner was searching for her.
“Nicole Lambert, where are you? They need us in the dressing room!” Thomas was yelling. The girl’s green eyes lit up with joy as she swung down from the rafters of the mistrailan theater.
“Hello, Thomas,” the faunus said. The boy spun around, shocked to see his partner behind him.
“There you are, come on, we have to get ready.” Nicole nodded, and followed him to the dressing room.
Parting ways, the two went into the separate rooms. Nicole's costume assistant stood, anxiously looking at the door. When she saw her, she ran right over.
“We lost a lot of time! Quickly, put on your costume,” she said, handing the girl the ursa’s top half.
Pulling on the clawed boots, the girl was shoved into her shirt by her assistant. Grabbing the mask, she put it on, obscuring her vision, like it always did.
“There, good, great, get out there. We’ll help attach the parts as soon as that turtle of a boy gets dressed,” the assistant said. The girl smiled and sat down on a hard wooden bench and opened her book again.
War was avoided when the nearby kingdom of Debroah (modern day mistral) also discovered dust within its mines, the kingdoms stopped thinking about war and began making weapons and other amenities with their new precious substance
A grimm stood on a cliff overlooking a meadow of emerald green grass. It had a dress shaped body and a mushroom shaped head. Its limbs were four large black tentacles that ended in golden stingers and its face was that of a human's. Though the upper half looked like it was wearing a mask.
“A change is coming,” it whispered, voice deep and smooth. “The first among the souls are soon to be released.”

LONDON: London Notary Public Charles Guthrie, who certified and stamped former chief justice of Gilgit-Baltistan Justice (R) Rana Shamim’s affidavit about former chief justice Saqib Nisar, has said that the statement was made voluntarily.
Speaking exclusively to Geo News, Charles Guthrie confirmed that the former chief justice of Gilgit-Baltistan had made his affidavit before him and “I verified the authenticity of the signed affidavit”.
He maintained that the retired Pakistani judge recorded his affidavit when they met in London on 10th November 2021.
Charles Guthrie also confirmed that that Notary Public London has also acted for Pakistan High Commission London during the Panama Joint Investigation Team (JIT) proceedings when the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) needed certified papers from London to present before the courts.
‘I can confirm the document as authentic and genuine’
“I can confirm the document as authentic and genuine,” Charles Guthrie said about the retired judge’s statement that has caused a storm in Pakistan after revealing that former chief justice Saqib Nisar ordered the Supreme Court Registrar as well as a judge at the Islamabad High Court not to give bails to Maryam Nawaz and Nawaz Sharif until 2018 general elections are held.
Charles Guthrie said Justice (R) Rana Shamim spent time “alone with me while making the statement underoath”. The Notary Public Commissioner for London added: “He (the retired judge) was not under any kind of duress or stress when making the statement. He swore voluntarily.”
Charles Guthrie confirmed that he has also certified the medical papers of Nawaz Sharif which were presented before courts in Pakistan.
Charles Guthrie confirmed that he has also acted for the Government of Pakistan and confirmed certifying UK papers for Pakistan High Commission in 2017 in the Avenfield case in his capacity as a Notary Public and Notary Public Commissioner for Oath for London, under the jurisdiction of England and Wales.
Charles Guthrie said: “Officials of Pakistan High Commission London had visited my office to get the papers certified.” He said as a Notary Public his job is to certify papers as long as there is an authentic proof of identity needed to certify and legalise papers.
It can be confirmed that in late January 2018, a National Accountability Bureau (NAB) team had visited London failed to make a breakthrough in its quest for “actionable evidence” in relation to the cases against Nawaz Sharif and his children.
The NAB team had taken to Pakistan the notarised version of the documents that were produced by the Joint Investigation Team (JIT) before the Supreme Court (SC) of Pakistan and Hasan Nawaz Sharif had given the same to the SC during the Panama case hearing.
The NAB team had held meetings with UK authorities but didn’t get any new papers. Pakistan High Commission then approached Notary Public London to get the old documents legalised Notary Public London affixed its seal to the papers for notarisation.
A source at Pakistan High Commission confirmed that Notary Public London (Charles Drostan Guthrie, LLB, TEP; Golden Cross House, 8 Duncannon Street, London) had certified the papers for NAB and Pakistan High Commission officials visited Charles Guthrie’s office near Charing Cross for the purpose of obtaining certification.

Liberation of Iraq
Nushin Namazi (NN) asked; What is illegal about the war in Iraq? Did the Iraqi people not ask for help? Why such opposition to liberating 40 million Iraq's at a cost of 1,000 American Soldiers and 10,000 Iraqi's? Has there been any other war of liberation with fewer casualties? What would happen if the entire world supported America and the Iraqi's in their fight for liberation and peace? Why such irresponsible cyncism? or is it "hip" to be anti-war? RH asked what Nushin meant by " Did the Iraqi people not ask for help?" She explains: I am asking whether the 40 million Iraqi's who were living under oppressive rule of Saddam Hussein deserve to be liberated? Iraqi families whose loved ones were brutally tortured and murdered had approached the White House and discussed the human rights violations in Iraq with President Bush and had asked him to liberate their country from the hands of Saddam Hussein. Do the needs of the Iraqi civilians have any meaning in this anti-war discussion? Why are the democrats so myopic in this situation? Whether this was a "neocon" plot or not is irrelevant because in this process Iraq will get rid of terrorists and dictators and have an opportunity to experience democracy and peace.

11-year-old raises funds for police defibrillator
By Bert Lehman
When 11-year-old Maddie Kloehn decided to raise money in order for the New London Police Department to purchase a new defibrillator, she wasn’t expecting anything in return.
She said she originally got the idea to raise the money after seeing a story on TV about a kid who raised money for their police department.
“I thought that I wanted to do something too because my grandpa was in the police department,” Kloehn said.
She and he mom visited the New London Police Department to discuss what items the department needed. It was during this visit that she learned the department needed a defibrillator.
To raise money she sold jars, a soup mix, a coffee mix, cookies and brownies.
“I think our top seller was probably a soup mix,” Kloehn said.
In all, she raised $1,600.
“It’s really amazing,” Kloehn said. “I did not think I was going to raise this amount of money. It just blows my mind.”
On July 7, Kloehn presented the check for $1,600 to New London Chief of Police Jeffrey Schlueter.
Schlueter said it was great to see an 11-year-old citizen of the city put in the time and effort to do something that will save lives.
“On an everyday basis we respond to ambulance calls and we never know when we’re going to need a defibrillator,” Schlueter said. “We’ve used it numerous times here in the city of New London saving lives. I’m guessing because of Maddie we’re going to save a few more in the future.
“We’re in a time right now where some of the citizens are criticizing the things police departments do, but in reality we’re out there quite often assisting citizens we get called to. To see someone like Maddie stepping up to the plate at age 11 really means a lot. It gives you hope for the future and there are other people out there who can assist in ways other than donating money.”
Schlueter said he hopes this will encourage others to help other departments and charities.
When Kloehn presented the check to Schlueter, Schlueter had a surprise for her. To express the appreciation of the police department, Schlueter presented Kloehn with a plaque to thank her for raising the money. Making the plaque extra special was the inclusion of the New London Police badge of Kloehn’s late-grandpa.
“Her grandpa retired here from the New London Police Department as a lieutenant and when I was going through the badges that we had I ended up finding one of his old badges, which is badge No. 17,” Schlueter said. “We decided to put that on there as a memento to show our appreciation towards what she did for us. We decided to step up to the plate and make sure that she has something to always remember this along with remembering her grandpa.”
It was a surprise Kloehn wasn’t expecting.
“It’s really awesome,” Kloehn said. “I miss him so much, so to get his badge is just awesome.”


Request Speed & Proxy Usage — How does it Work
- Apr 2, 2023, 11:24 PM
- 5 minutes
A proxy server is a good solution for people who need temporary protection without losing the speed of sending a request, especially when running a regionally blocked website or connecting without sharing IP addresses. In this regard, a free proxy server will be more than enough. We are talking about equipment with which people can definitely increase the speed of sending a request.
It is best to choose services provided by reputable companies with positive reviews from other users. Let's see how the elite proxy service works. A few tips will be useful for enthusiasts whose activities are related to the development of web tools and the creation of mobile applications. The same goes for marketers, who will benefit from finding out the proxy measure meaning. For all such specialists, the speed of sending and receiving a request is a key parameter.
What Proxy Parameters Determine the Query Speed?
When a browser sends a request to access a web page, the proxy server facilitates the loading of the website with its own IP address, so the user remains anonymous. This cannot but affect the network throughput and request sending speed. Sometimes using a slow proxy server people have problems opening web pages. So, if they are looking for a high-speed proxy, they should pay attention to the following:
- Server localization. It is very important that the proxy provider offers several alternative IP addresses. Only in this case, the user prevents incidents when they have no access to the content or content loading speed is slow.
- Encryption options for proxy service. Top companies guarantee the use of SSL certificates. This means that the user's personal data is protected. This is especially true when the request is sent via a Wi-Fi network and proxy.
- Network throughput. This measure depends on the performance(speed) of the equipment. When looking for the best proxy service, people should consider the type of content. For video hosting and messengers, the requirements are not the same. This means that if your smartphone is not a flagship device, the content will load slowly. Proxy speed often determines this parameter.
Paid Proxy — No Slow Server Speed
Any good proxy server helps people to hide their online activity and speed up request sending. It's the best solution for getting access to suspicious websites, avoiding internet censorship in a specific country or office/school network. But this is not the only purpose of the tool. No less important are other functions for the proxy checker tool. In other words, it is tracking user activity and monitors network failures and speed.
If people prefer a paid proxy, they don't have problems with slowing page loading speed and can set up additional tools. The most requested service is monitoring and applying filters. This means that each proxy request will be checked for compliance with the company's security policy.
Proxy Service Assignment
When people surf the Internet, their IP address becomes available. Site owners can save it and provide data to third parties. Such cases should be excluded. So, people order a proxy service. This tool helps keep surfing safe and at a stable speed. Ordinary users do not understand how it works. Tech-savvy enthusiasts are often trying to find out does proxy slows down the Internet. In order to answer this question, people should consider the following nuances:
- Equipment performance
- Proxy server localization
- Number of requests for any tool
Proxy post request is a phrase used in the everyday life of developers. The same goes for traders and marketers. With a web proxy, ordinary users can unblock YouTube, Google, Facebook, and any website that is unavailable according to corporate rules. The same goes for regional restrictions. Such proxy service works on any device including a computer, mobile, or tablet without having to install any application.
How to Increase Proxy Speed
People can use proxies services in different ways. Basically, servers are added to increase anonymity when surfing. Sometimes it makes sense when they want to increase network bandwidth. When you think that you have chosen a fast internet proxy, but the site pages open slowly, you should do the following:
- Free up the hard drive if it is overloaded. Delete temporary (and unnecessary) files in the C:\Windows\Temp and C:\TEMP folders. After that, the speed of sending the request will increase.
- Fix the Windows registry. Use a special tool for this procedure. This service is free for most operating systems.
- Open the Startup list (Win + R) and remove programs that are infrequently used.
System administrators can use paid and free proxies. For free available servers, problems with data transfer speed are common. This is because several users can use such IPs at the same time. A public proxy differs from a paid proxy by a minimum level of anonymity. With a weak Internet signal, the equipment does not function at all. So, professionals prefer paid tariffs with a stable speed of sending a request. When ordering such a service, people will not have the problem of slow page loading.
Buying a proxy to speed up the Internet is a good idea for most system administrators. The optimal request speed is 100-150 Mbps. But, even with an optimal measure, some websites can be loaded for a long time. With a free proxy, downloading files takes more than 10 minutes. There are many reasons for slow data loading. But if people have successfully chosen a tariff, they will not have such problems. This is one of the reasons why you should be meticulous when choosing a proxy provider.
In OnlineProxy you will find mobile proxies from all over the world with daily billing from $0.7 and IP rotation. Proxies are great for work tasks. We guarantee quality or refund money.

The author is a Forbes contributor. The opinions expressed are those of the writer.
In Connecticut, boat and car dealers, yoga studios, jewelers and liquor stores are luring in customers through Thursday to beat tax hikes set for July 1. That’s when the state sales tax goes from 6% to 6.35% for most purchases, and to 7% for luxury items (cars over $50,000, boats over $100,000, jewelry over $5,000 and clothing, shoes and accessories over $1,000).
In addition, there’s an excise tax hike on alcoholic beverage of 20% for hard liquor (from $4.50 to $5.40 a gallon), less for beer and wine.
Francos Wine Merchants, a family-owned business on Elm Street, the main drag in New Canaan, Conn., ran full-page ads in the Wall Street Journal’s regional section and three local newspapers this month with the slogan “Beat the Tax*” on a bunch of grapes hanging off a vine. The asterisk noted that Connecticut’s alcohol tax increase is effective July 1.
“We’ve had a good month,” says owner Rick Franco. “If you have a headline ‘Beat the Tax,’ you’re going to get an extra bump.” One customer, for example, who typically buys two half gallons of scotch at a time bought a case.
While the tax hikes might boost sales in the short term, small business owners fear that they will lose sales in the long run. Plus, the timing is awful. “It’s an awkward time of the year to do this, a holiday weekend,” Franco says, adding, “You have other things to do other than going around changing prices. It’s like that mosquito in the backyard that bites at your ankle.”
For more on the basket of tax hikes in Connecticut, which include income tax hikes as proposed, click here. The tax hikes could have been bigger. Gov. Dannel Malloy’s budget called for a 9.35% tax on luxury items. And the provision to levy property taxes at the local level on boats and airplanes was dropped.

Service on board - Dornier wines
As part of our renowned in-flight experience, we serve excellent South African wine from Dornier on board.
Dornier Wines is owned by a German family who own a unique vineyard and restaurant. The Dornier family dates back to the 13th century and were originally aircraft manufacturers. Christoph Dornier moved to Stellenbosch South Africa when in 1995 he established Dornier Wines. Today the estate is run by the younger generation of the same family.
Dornier is situated on ancient red and yellow granite with a high clay content that keeps the roots of the vines moist and cool. The mountain’s high altitude traps the cool Atlantic breezes, extending the ripening period of the grapes and and intensifying each wine’s flavour.
Dornier Wines now comprises five farms with a total of 180 hectares of vineyards, which supplied grapes to the family's first vintage in 2002. Today Dornier Wines produces three different types of wine: Donatus, Dornier Stellenbosch and Cocoa Hills.

Contemporary living room furniture gives people a sense of comfort but still retains a stylishness that simply speaks of the owner’s great taste.
But what really defines contemporary furniture? What sets it apart from the furniture that our ancestors once used? You may think antique furniture also looks great but it doesn’t give your living room that interesting look that’s sure to captivate your guests. With contemporary living room furniture, you can go crazy and just let your creative juices flow. You wouldn’t have to stick to those boring shapes of old like squares and circles and rectangles. You can choose an irregular shape for your sofa like S’s, oblongs, kidneys, you can even choose a shapeless blob, and nobody would accuse you of being tasteless. Contemporary furniture allows you to choose between symmetry or asymmetry, or somewhere in between. You can even choose different fabrics for your chairs… vinyl, cotton, or velvet, anything that tickles your fancy. Colors can range from drab gray to electric blue to shocking pink, anything could look good, and you won’t have to stick with the boring browns and whites of most antique furniture. It truly is impossible to go wrong with contemporary living room furniture.
But the best thing about contemporary furniture lies not in its comfort, or even in its practicality. The best thing about contemporary furniture is that it speaks of who you are. When guests enter the living room, they won’t feel like they’ve just walked into a painfully formal and impersonal living room of the 17th century. Instead, they would be greeted by a room with a contemporary flair that simply speaks of the owner’s personality… be it spunky, funky, elegant, fetch, feral, or saucy. Contemporary furniture really is for everyone.
The first choice you will want to make regarding kids bedroom furniture is style. Knowing what style you are looking for can make shopping a lot easier. Weather you are shopping for an infant or a pre-teen, there are many styles available today. Things to consider are gender, the style of the room and the child’s personality. If the child is old enough, consider getting them involved in choosing the style, as this will make the child feel integral in the decisions and be able to have a room they feel most comfortable in.
Another thing to consider when purchasing kids bedroom furniture is safety. Furniture varies quite a bit in this area. In many cases, what you pay for is what you get, but that is not always true. Consider seeing the furniture in person to test its stability. Also, keep in mind the little things that can be a problem for little people such as loose parts, dangerous heights and oddly shaped pieces.
Since children tend to grow quickly and often, you may want to consider versatility when shopping for kids bedroom furniture. There are many beds available today that are designed to grow with the child. Purchasing a crib that changes into a bed for a toddler can save you a lot of time and money in the long run.
Whichever style, brand or variety of kids bedroom furniture you choose, it doesn’t have to be an overwhelming task. Just keep in mind the most important things, safety and comfort. Your child will thank you for the great nights sleep they will have in the bedroom of their dreams.
There is no plant called “wicker”…the term refers to the method in which the chosen material – rattan, bamboo, willow, or other sturdy but pliable plant fibers – are woven together -usually through a rattan framework – to form anything from baskets to tables to chairs.
When materials of good quality are used, and the vines are woven properly, wicker furniture should last for decades – with normal use. Indeed, some wicker antiques of the Victorian period are still in use today. This is because the materials that make wicker – rattan, etc., is filled with fibers running lengthwise, similar to a cable. Such a vine bends, therefore, but does not splinter and break as wood does.
Today, wicker furniture is not limited to the loveseat and chair set of the past. Practically any piece of furniture in the house – including desks, wall units and chests of drawers – can be made of wicker these days.
As with any type of furniture, you can buy wicker in single pieces or in complete sets, for the sunroom, living room…even the bathroom!
A set of chairs to surround a matching table are usually the first things chosen for a sunroom, but for a change of pace you can get loveseats – with room enough for two, ottomans – which are not only footstools but also couches without backs. Swings, rockers, wing chairs and loungers are also available, and to finish off the matching decor of the room there will be such accessories as pot stands, mats, decorative baskets, and even wall hangings.
Sometimes you’re bound to share a dorm room with one or two other roommates, cutting down on quite a bit of space. Usually dorm rooms will come with beds and desks, but in the event that your college dorm doesn’t offer that, consider investing in a bed and workstation set-up. Affordable and serving two functional purposes, these set-ups consist of a top bunk and space beneath to fit either a bottom bunk or workstation such as a computer desk. And if you do decide to move out of the dorms and into your own apartment, this type of bed configuration can be easily taken apart and transported to your next home.
Futon or sofa beds are another dual functionality and space saving option you might want to invest in for your dorm. Guests are bound to stay over at your place and having them sleep on your dorm’s sofa might not be the most comfortable option; with futon or sofa beds at least you’ll know that your guest will be able to sleep on a newer (and possibly cleaner) piece of furniture. To reiterate, if and when you move to an apartment you’ll have one less furniture item to purchase and it conveniently serves two separate purposes – sleeping and lounging.
While space will be an issue when living in a college dorm, it can be dealt with if you have the proper furniture. Doubling up on furniture functionality will serve you well in regards of space and finances during and after your college career.

A man was charged over a 2007 sexual assault today, which allegedly occurred in the backseat of his taxi.
State Crime Operations Squad detectives charged the 44-year-old Canning Vale man over the seven-year-old sexual assault.
The victim – who was 18 at the time the alleged assault occurred – was out in the city with friends on December 21.
She got into a taxi to go home during the early hours of December 22.
It is alleged she fell asleep during the drive home to Karrinyup.
She was woken a short time later by the taxi driver as he allegedly sexually penetrated her without her consent.
The attack ceased once the woman woke and she reported the incident to WA Police when she arrived home, which prompted an investigation.
The matter was recently reviewed by the State Crime Operations Squad.
New investigative opportunities resulted in charges being laid today.
The man has been granted bail and is due to appear in the Perth Magistrate’s Court on July 14, 2015.

Gwent Music Celebrates the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee
What an exciting year we have had so far getting ready to celebrate her Majesty’s Platinum Jubilee!
Our very own Chris Fry has written us a song and Ragsy (of the Voice fame) has written the words and recorded it for us. We have worked with Alway, Maesglas, Malpas Court, St Julian’s and The Gaer Primaries who all opened in the year her Majesty took the throne to write, perform and record their own songs as well as perform our song as part of the Jubilee celebrations.
Preview our song: 70 Years
On 1st, 2nd and 3rd March we saw performances in each of the above schools to a lot of VIP guests. The Lord Lieutenant, High Sheriff and the Leader of NCC to name just a few. The audience were amazed by the talent all of the performers showed and came to see a collective performance on Wednesday 25th May held at Malpas Court Primary. Fantastic music was made and we saw collaborative working at its very best between the schools!!
Each of the schools have a copy of their work recorded for prosperity and to remind them of when they became ‘Rock Stars’ to celebrate an incredible ladies 70 Years on the throne!

This post contains affiliate links. While looking through audiobook choices to listen to while walking on the treadmill, I stumbled upon I’m Still Standing by Shoshana Johnson. I have listened to several prisoner of war stories from World War II, so I decided listening to one from modern times would be an interesting comparison.
About I’m Still Standing by Shoshana Johnson
In 2003, Shoshana Johnson was serving in Iraq when her convoy was ambushed. She was shot in the ankles and taken prisoner of war along with several others. Because the Geneva Conventions say that men and women soldiers must be separated, her captors left Johnson alone and isolated most of the time. She also had the terrifying experience of having surgery on her feet while captive.
Johnson was a POW for 22 days before members of the United States Marine Corps rescued her and the others.
This book is Johnson’s autobiography, covering her life from the time she was a young Army brat through a year or so after her release.
My Thoughts on the Book
Sadly, I see this book as a lost opportunity. This has the power to be a riveting story, but it’s not because of several flaws.
The Story Jumps in Time Too Much
I know the best way to hold a reader’s interest is to start with a suspense-filled event and then go back in time to how the person got to that point. However, this book takes that theory to the extreme. This story jumps back to Johnson’s time in the military, to when she was a young girl, to the present, to when she was a teen, to the recent past in the present time. You get the idea. I was often confused what time period she was in and how it related to the current story. I would have appreciated having the story open with one of her capture or prisoner of war scenes, and then slowly, chronologically had the story go back in time to get the reader to the present.
Her Trauma Is Muted Until the End of the Book
Second, Johnson was captured and held for 22 days. I know she must have been traumatized, but her writing about that time is muted. I can’t feel the terror she must have experienced. She doesn’t share that with the reader, so when she comes back home and has post traumatic stress disorder, I found myself wondering why it was so severe. As a reader, I needed to feel more of her fear and terror during the time she was held.
Because of these two flaws of the book, I give I’m Still Standing by Shoshana Johnson 3 out of 5 stars on the Mom’s Plans’ scale.

Lamborghini is a sports car brand that is synonymous with wealth and affluence. Varying upon the model in question, a new Lamborghini car costs between $214,866 and $4.5 million.
Buying a Lamborghini is no easy task, but even if you spend all of your savings and get one, keeping it running is an entirely different story.
I am a Lamborghini expert reviewer, and knowing the brand inside and out allows me to delve into the specifics of how much it costs to own a Lamborghini for a year.
I’ve compiled all of this information to answer any questions you might have about owning a Lamborghini. This will allow you to determine whether you can afford one.
How Much Does it Cost to Purchase a Lamborghini?
The sticker price of various Lamborghini models is as follows:
- Lamborghini Huracan starts at $214,866;
- Lamborghini Urus starts at $222,004;
- Lamborghini Aventador starts at $421,321;
- Lamborghini Veneno Roadster $4.5 million.
You can always choose to pay for your Lamborghini in cash. However, several companies around the world provide tailored leasing services for various Lamborghini models.
A Lamborghini Huracan lease for 36 months costs $2499 per month, with a $15,000 down payment plus inceptions. The catch is that you can only drive the vehicle for 7500 miles during the 36-month period.
Leasing a Lamborghini Aventador for 36 months will cost you $4849 plus tax per month. Similar to the preceding situation, you are only permitted to drive this car for a total of 7500 miles during your three-year tenure.
How Much Tax Do You Need to Pay?
The tax on a vehicle varies depending on where you live, but in the UK, expect to pay £2245 in tax for the first year on your Lamborghini Aventador, which is equivalent to $3045. In this case, the premium is approximately £490 (approximately $665).
For a Lamborghini Aventador the taxes, title, and licensing combined will cost upwards of $30,000.
How Much are the Annual Maintenance and Repair Costs for a Lamborghini?
The annual maintenance and repair costs of a Lamborghini, even with minimal use, are likely to exceed $10,000. This price can rapidly rise to exorbitant levels, but it is the minimum amount required to keep it running.
Even if you decide not to drive your Lamborghini frequently, you must perform the minimum necessary maintenance.
Running the vehicle will raise the operating costs because oil and tires must be changed regularly. The tires on a Lamborghini are not like ordinary cars, so they need to be replaced every 5000 to 7000 miles and cost more than $2500 on average.
The repair costs are also outrageously high. The prices of a few parts of different Lamborghini models are listed below to give you a general idea of the maintenance costs associated with a vehicle of this brand.
- AC Compressor $830;
- Cup Holder $560;
- Airbag unit $363;
- Aluminum Rim For Wheel $3080;
- Brake Caliper Housing with Servo Motor $745;
- Rear Bumper Assembly $2800;
How Fast Does a Lamborghini Depreciate?
During the first five years, the value of a typical Lamborghini depreciates by about 30%. This means that a Huracan base model purchased for $214,866 will be worth $150,406 five years from today. That’s a loss of about $65,000 over five years, or about $1100 per month.
However, the value of a sports car can rapidly decrease when it is frequently driven. So, if you plan to drive your Lamborghini more often, expect it to depreciate even more than this number.
Here is a chart showing the expected annual depreciation of a Lamborghini Aventador over the years.
It is interesting to note that buying a two years old mint condition Lamborghini Aventador can save you more than $100,000 over purchasing a new one. This is because depreciation is greatest during the first two years, as evident from the above chart.
So if you buy a two-year-old Lamborghini Aventador today for $335,479, you can sell it for $305,970 in 2024. This means you can enjoy a Lamborghini Aventador for three years with an annual depreciation of less than $10,000.

How Much Do You Need to Pay for a Lamborghini’s Insurance?
The cost of Lamborghini insurance varies by its location. It also varies greatly depending on the model and condition of the vehicle.
For a good condition vehicle, the insurance price may be less than $1000 for three years; however, for a vehicle that has had a rough life and a poor record, the insurance can quickly exceed $1000 per month.
How Much Do You Need to Pay for a Lamborghini’s Fuel?
The amount of money you need to annually spend on fuel for a Lamborghini depends on how many miles you drive the vehicle each year. For a Lamborghini Huracan, this figure is expected to be at least $4000 for 15000 annual miles, assuming 55 percent city driving and 45 percent highway driving.
Additional Cost Over 5 Years
The Lamborghini Huracan costs $11000 extra in fuel costs over a 5-year period than any other new car. This means that a Huracan driver spends $2200 extra per year on fuel than the average new car owner.
A Lamborghini, as you might expect, is a gas guzzler. The Aventador is said to have a highway mileage of 18 miles per gallon and a city mileage of 11 miles per gallon.
The Lamborghini Huracan has a highway fuel economy of 18 miles per gallon and a city fuel economy of 13 miles per gallon. The Huracan’s overall range on a full tank is approximately 320 miles.
Higher Cost Per Mile
Furthermore, sports cars necessitate premium quality fuel, which is more expensive. As a result, the average cost per mile will always be greater than that of any other vehicle.
However, these are deceptive figures that can change dramatically depending on your driving style. As all Lamborghinis are synonymous with high performance, you should not expect them to be economical in any way.
In Total, How Much Does it Cost to Own a Lamborghini?
The total cost of owning a Lamborghini can also vary greatly depending on whether you buy it brand new or get a used one. For a gleaming new jaw-dropping Lamborghini Aventador, a ballpark cost of $120,000 for the first year, $150,000 for three years, and $180,000 for five years might be the best guess.
For a racing car, it’s always a great idea to get one with low mileage, and if you can find one in such a state, the annual cost of ownership will be significantly reduced, owing to low repair costs.
Another factor that can contribute considerably to the cost of owning a Lamborghini over time is how well the vehicle is taken care of. A well-maintained car will not require parts replacement very often.
A neglected or rashly driven Lamborghini, on the other hand, can be a very expensive vehicle to own. Such a vehicle will necessarily entail costly spare part replacements, and as you can imagine, spare parts for a vehicle of this stature can be ridiculously expensive.
How Much Do You Need to Earn to be Able to Afford a Lamborghini?
There is no specific standard as to how much money is enough to be able to buy a Lamborghini but to be on the safe side, you must earn more than a million dollars per year for owning even the base model Huracan and to keep it running.
After all, for owning a car that costs you $11,000 extra annually just in fuel and for braving the six-digit depreciation, you must have plentiful so that your Lamborghini doesn’t leave you broke.
Although, there have been several instances where average citizens leased an entry-level Lamborghini for a short period to get a taste of the affluent lifestyle. However, all of them reported that the phenomenal costs of maintenance and repairs made it more of a decoration piece than a drivable car.
Are There any Cheaper Sports Car Alternatives?
Yes, there are cheaper alternatives to a Lamborghini. Some of them include but are not limited to Nissan GT-R Nismo and Porsche 911 GT3.
1. Nissan GT-R Nismo
The sticker price for this beauty, dubbed “Godzilla,” is $113,640. The car has 600 horsepower and 652 Nm of torque, making the overall experience extremely entertaining, and that too at a fraction of the Lamborghini’s cost.
Furthermore, because it is a Japanese vehicle, the GT-R is far more reliable, and spare parts are not extremely expensive.
2. Porsche GT3
Another option is the Porsche GT3, which costs $162,450 and has 502 horsepower. The car accelerates from 0 to 60 mph in 2.7 seconds, making it incredibly quick. The vehicle is certain to deliver a breathtaking performance.
It is worth noting that Lamborghini has a class of its own. The brand’s performance is unparalleled, and as a result, fans and aficionados frequently claim that there is no other alternative.
However, if you cannot afford a Lamborghini, you can choose one of the options listed above, which may not match the results of a top-tier Lamborghini but will still provide decent performance.
