As many of my readers already know I am not the biggest fan of Vladimir Putin, and for good reason. The war in Ukraine is not a factor; rather, it’s Putin’s duplicity, or at the very least it’s the manner in which he has been presented to conservatives. The notion that Putin is “anti-globalist” has been circulating within the alternative media for at least a decade now and frankly there’s not an ounce of truth to it.
No, he never kicked the Rothschilds out of Russia, they’ve had banking operations in Moscow for many years. Putin has been close friends with New World Order advocate Henry Kissinger since before he became leader of Russia, it’s all described in his autobiography ‘First Person.’ And, Putin has been heavily involved in the World Economic Forum for many years, and only last year Russia joined Klaus Schwab’s 4th Industrial Revolution Initiative. There are claims that this is all about Putin “keeping his enemies close,” but that’s just childish naivety. No one keeps the globalists close unless they agree with the globalists on a majority of concepts.
Yes, the WEF told Putin he was a bad boy for invading Ukraine and Russia is not invited to their next big conference. However, the WEF did the exact same thing after Russia annexed Crimea, and a year later Putin was invited right back in again. Fake squabbles between the globalists and their allies are for the benefit of the public, they don’t mean a thing in reality.
I don’t really care about the Ukraine war either way. There are no good guys in this fight. Both sides are puppets of elitist interests. The effects on the civilian population of Ukraine are unfortunate, but the rest of the world is about to face similar or worse threats in the near term because of economic decline. My purpose here is not to defend Russia, my purpose is to dismantle the obvious propaganda. There is a reason why the establishment is so interested in getting the public riled up about Ukraine.

Does marriage scare anyone else? Not even the falling in love and spending your life with another person part– I have no idea or expectations for what that psycho-ness will feel like but I can imagine I’d go with it as it comes.
The part I dread is the marriage of two families, specifically “the daughter leaving to the groom’s side.” My parents did too good of a job making me love them. I don’t ever want to leave or upset our dynamic. The way things are right now may not be perfect, but it’s perfect to me. When you’re married and you visit home, things aren’t the same. I can’t go knock on my brother’s door, bother him while he’s sleeping and read him Harry Potter. Going back home won’t be like how it is when it’s just me coming home from school. There’s this whole other person who has to fit into our routine.
Moreover, I have to fit into someone else’s family and call them mom and dad? That’s still the weirdest thing to me. I want to marry someone one day, but you keep your family, I’ll keep mine and we can create a new 3rd separate one because there is absolutely no way in hell I’m leaving mine.
Obviously this post is childish and immature– I’d think marriage is far more nuanced that what I’m complaining about. The ideal situation was as I first described, a marriage of two families. I’m not leaving, he’s not leaving, we’re just expanding.
But let me be scared of it for now.
After what has seemed like a lifetime of failures, a win feels pretty nice.
Happy hunting, friends <3
The greatest aspect of humanity is that we don’t get “what we deserve.” We are all flawed. We all inflict pain on our loved ones time and time again. If we received what we truly deserved– if karma really existed, we would live in a never ending constant hell. But we’re not robots. There is no formula to determine what pain or blessing someone receives. We forgive in spite of what is truly deserved. It is what makes us human. We love, so we forgive because no one is perfect.
I posted awhile ago “If everyone you meet is an asshole, you’re the asshole” and briefly touched upon the fact I might be an asshole. I never really believed it, though. I thought I was weird or socially awkward, but never an asshole or jerk.
It’s 5 am. I can’t sleep. I just had an epiphany. I. Am. The. Asshole.
And it’s the worst kind of asshole. A nice asshole. A smiling, I think I’m the bees knees asshole.
Dammit, and everyone knew except me!!
I always believed if you had good intentions you’re okay. What the heck do good intentions even mean???? If you’re an A-hole cause you’re too ignorant to realize, you’re still an A-hole. Just an a-hole that hasn’t yet realized it. I don’t know why I decided to censor this post half way through.
This is word vomit at its truest. Pure shit spewing out of the asshole of my face. Actually, I’m not talking now just typing. The assholes of my hand? Ew imagine if our fingers were really assholes?
Alright. Well, I see 24 is going to be all about super low self esteem cause I’ve been feeling really shitty about myself lately. I think the ignorance I’ve lived in for so long is finally coming undone. Bring it back, please. Ignorance is bliss. I miss sleeping well.
Sidebar: I think it’s because my whole life, my insecurities have been physical. I’ve been too vapid and shallow, concerning myself with new diets, hair methods, skin treatments or makeup tips to realize my slow descent into solidified asshole status. Wait, this isn’t a sidebar at all. Perfectly consistent with the theme of this piece. I call it “Asshole’s Insomnia”
Writing this makes me feel better. But how do I fix this?? Being a Christian before made it so easy. I just had to pray and seek forgiveness from that higher power and my slate was wiped clean. How do I seek forgiveness from ALL the people in my life? I don’t even know what to ask forgiveness for?? Where do I begin?
My spirit animal always and forever. I’d like a slice of that cake, thank you very much.

Jeremy Hunt is expected to increase the number of people paying the highest tax rate by lowering the threshold to £150,000, according to Treasury sources.
The move to increase the number of taxpayers paying the 45p tax rate is a handbrake from the Liz Truss government, which has proposed abolishing the rate altogether.
A Treasury source said there was an option to increase the overall tax rate, but a “significant lowering” of the threshold would be more likely for people with higher incomes.
In next Thursday’s autumn statement, Hunt will outline tax increases and spending cuts totaling £60bn, broken down roughly into £35bn of spending cuts and £25bn of tax increases.
The move to raise the threshold for the 45 pence rate would be in line with Hunt’s public promise that tax increases should hit those with the “broadest shoulders”, though it is expected to freeze lower tax thresholds. , which will generate billions for the Treasury as more wage earners are pulled into different tax brackets by inflation.
However, the Treasury has ruled out changes to the higher-rate pension tax break, over concerns it could discourage people from saving and hit the middle-income earners.
Ministers are also discussing the possibility of significant tax increases by allowing changes to the rules that councils must hold referendums if they raise taxes by more than 2.99%.
Hunt and Rishi Sunak have put most of the fiscal pressure on spending cuts, though the statement will stick to the current spending review for the next two years, in which departmental spending is likely to be squeezed by inflation. But departments are likely to see the rate of spending decline after that point.
“Even during austerity, budgets have increased, but rates will be much lower than they could have been,” a Whitehall source said.
Sunak and Hunt are said to be interested in avoiding cuts in real terms of benefits or breaking the triple lock on pensions, where billions could be saved by raising both in line with earnings rather than inflation.
Preliminary work sent to the Office for Budget Responsibility is understood to have included the possibility of raising both in line with inflation, which many Conservative MPs have publicly demanded. However, a senior source said that while Hunt and Sunak’s instinct was to protect pensions and benefit increases, there were still concerns about the current balance of measures “to make the numbers add up” and that those areas were not They had been removed from the table. .
The scale of the necessary measures has been heightened by dire forecasts by the Bank of England last week, when it predicted that higher interest rates would push the economy into the longest recession since the 1930s.
The Bank blamed higher energy prices and a tight labor market for the decision to raise interest rates. Hunt’s fiscal tightening is likely to worsen the outlook, with the Bank saying the economy was already contracting and would continue to contract for eight consecutive quarters through the summer of 2024.
On Wednesday, former Treasury Secretary Harriett Baldwin was chosen to chair the Treasury select committee after her predecessor, Mel Stride, joined Sunak’s cabinet.
Baldwin, who previously worked for JP Morgan, has long been skeptical of the Bank of England’s performance, repeatedly pressing Governor Andrew Bailey on low interest rates long before Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine and the subsequent economic crisis.

Managing your air conditioning maintenance helps your home thrive by leaps and bounds. This is true because so much of the home energy consumed each year is due to running an HVAC system. Your air conditioning bills will get incredibly high during the summer if you fail to follow some AC maintenance strategies. To learn the ins and outs of caring for an HVAC system, read on.
Opt For An AC Maintenance Plan
If you are thinking about getting what you need from your air conditioner, it's crucial that you opt-in to an AC maintenance plan. HVAC pros offer these plans so that you never have to worry about the condition of your AC once summertime approaches. When you decide to get an air conditioning maintenance plan, it's important that you go point for point through the plan to see what these contractors have to offer. During these plans, you should be sure that you're getting air compressor service, condenser coil cleaning, and maintenance for your air ducts. These service plans will call for a few service calls per year from HVAC contractors that can assist you. Be sure to do everything you can to find the highest quality plan.
Switch Out Your Air Conditioning Filters Regularly
Take time out to manage your air conditioning filter care by switching them out every couple of months. You're supposed to change your air filters between 30 and 60 days, will be able to keep your allergies at bay when you do this. You will also be able to get better overall service from your air conditioner and can lower your utilities. This simple matter of changing your air conditioning filters will also help your HVAC system last longer and perform better when it counts the most.
Buy A New AC Installation When You Need It
Finally, take the time to shop for a new air conditioner whenever you need to. Installing a new unit can cost about $1,000 or so, on top of the cost of the system itself. It's vital that you look into the best AC system you can get your hands on, so that this is an investment into your house. You will always want to buy a high-tech system that is an incredible improvement into your household.
If you use these points you will be in good hands with the maintenance and installation of an air conditioner for your home.Share

July – September 2021
In the Berlin district of Neukölln, 1.2 million euros are wasted each year on the disposal of illegally dumped bulk waste at the curbsides – money that could be used for schools, playgrounds, urban gardens, and generally to improve the quality of life in the district.
Externalized costs such as these are hardly understood by the population because they are hardly ever clearly communicated. Yet with every piece of bulk waste that ends up on the street, tax money is lost – regardless of the residents being aware of this issue.
A striking guerrilla campaign that puts the issue at the center of media attention – and of the people in the district.
We attached oversized price tags to bulk waste found on the street, showing not only how much disposal costs but also what to do instead, such as free swap and dump action days organized by the Kiezhausmeister or calling the collection service of the BSR. There are a wide range of waste disposal options!
We calculated the price imposed on the general public with the disposal –- i.e., the disposal costs per piece of bulky waste – in cooperation with the Neukölln district office, the public safety office, and the BSR. In this way, carelessly deposited waste is given a monetary value and a very concrete consequence. Additionally, we included information on available offers such as easily accessible recycling yards, free cargo bike rental, etc.
During a neighborhood walk with District Mayor Hikel and members of the local press, the XXL price tags in four languages were attached to trashed televisions, washing machines, and mattresses.
Thanks to media coverage in rbb Abendschau, Berliner Morgenpost, Tagesspiegel, BZ Berlin, BVG's Berliner Fenster, and taz, we were able to reach nearly 2 million contacts with the campaign.
Videos and photos of the action were also discussed on Instagram and Twitter and seen by more than 30,000 people.
An important first step on our way to rid Neukölln of trash and its dirty reputation!

The Carbon Monoxide Consumer Awareness Alliance has welcomed last month’s prosecution of Wates Construction for putting residents at risk of carbon monoxide poisoning and is urging builders merchants and other industry players raise awareness of the dangers of carbon monoxide.
Nigel Dumbrell, COCAA chair, says: “We note with interest the recent successful prosecution of Wates Construction and fully support the message from the HSE regarding the importance of checking the safety of gas flues following roofing work and the potential risk of carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning which can occur, particularly in instances where extensions to properties and other similar work has been carried out.
“This case, and others like it, reinforces the importance of the entire heating, plumbing and construction sector having a good level of awareness of the dangers of CO and ensuring they have the training, experience and qualifications to work safely. This is not just an issue for those who install the appliances.”
The Builders Merchants Federation (BMF) is aiming to increase awareness of the dangers of carbon monoxide poisoning with the launch of Carbon Monoxide Alarm week, running from October 6 to 10. The week is an opportunity not just to increase sales of carbon monoxide alarms but also to get the safety message across.
The launch of the BMF Carbon Monoxide Alarm Week has led to the Autumn/Winter 2008 ‘Get an Alarm’ campaign being run by the COCAA.
· Wates Construction were fined £7,000 and ordered to pay nearly £2,500 costs after they were found guilty of putting residents of 11 bungalows in Birmingham at risk of carbon monoxide poisoning.
The integrity of warm air flues, which vent through roof ridge terminals was found to have been disrupted in 11 of the bungalows, which could have caused a potentially fatal build-up of carbon monoxide.
A CORGI registered subcontractor warned Wates Construction, based in Leatherhead Surrey, to check the flues after work had been completed, but Wates failed to do this, the court heard.
Wates pleaded guilty to contravening Section 3(1) of the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 at Birmingham Magistrates Court.

I know what you're thinking: how can this Mini be fun without the 'Cooper' name?
Yes there are a lot of questions surrounding the arrival of the Mini One. Is it fast? Does it have similar go-kart-like handling? Will it be as enjoyable to drive as its more powerful Cooper brethren?
Initially, only the Cooper models were available for the Philippine market. Quick, stylish and agile, the spritely hot hatch proved to be a favorite for those that want something fast, small and relatively practical. But with the introduction of the new excise tax, the Cooper range saw a significant price increase.
Enter the Mini One. Packed with a smaller three-cylinder engine and having slightly less equipment, it's the affordable alternative to the Mini 3-Door and 5-Door Cooper offerings. But is it as desirable and peppy? And will it prove to be a hit with fans?
No introductions needed for this Mini as this has the same shape and form as its stablemates. The round headlights, sloping hood and distinct rear are all signature Mini. The design may already be four-years old but the overall look and feel of the Mini One is still fresh. Place it beside any Cooper-badged model and you'll be hard-pressed to see any striking differences.
While it does serve as the entry-level model, the Mini One still comes with plenty of kit. For starters it comes with LED headlights and foglights. Even the daytime running lights are of the LED kind which were pleasing to the eyes. On paper, the Mini One comes with 15-inch alloys although the tester we had was fitted with bigger 16-inch alloy wheels (which I really liked). Four-wheel disc brakes, a rear foglight, and a tailgate-mounted spoiler round up some of the exterior features of the Mini One.
All in all, the Mini One is as cool-looking and dashing as the more desirable Cooper hatchbacks.
Like the exterior, the cabin is similar to the Cooper. It blends chic styling with simple ergonomics that is then draped in a mish-mash of gloss black trim, metal accents and soft-touch materials. Frankly, it's one of my most favorite interior designs as it is youthful, well-thought-out and unconventional. Perhaps my most favorite portions of the cabin are the motorcycle-inspired instrument gauges, aircraft-style toggle switches and the changeable LED ambient lighting that surrounds the center dash.
Controlling the infotainment system can be done by way of a BMW-style i-Drive system. It supports AM/FM radio, USB, Aux and Bluetooth connectivity. Besides those, the system also has a tire pressure monitoring system, and an engine oil level and quality checker. It can also be specified with navigation and Mini Connected services. For a car that is surely small, the Mini bounces back when it comes to features and options.
Accommodations at the back were adequate at best although we commend Mini for doing their best in making a somewhat spacious cabin. Individuals as tall as 5'9 will fit in the back just fine provided the driver / front passenger is as tall as I am (I'm about 5'7 ). The rear seats were pretty comfortable as well but you do have to mind your head when getting out due to the low roofline. Despite having seating for three, the rear bench is best suited for seating two full-sized adults only.
Thanks to it's slightly longer dimensions, the 5-Door Mini has a better cargo carrying capacity than the 3-Door. With the rear seats up, the hatchback can carry 278 liters of luggage. Fold the 60:40 split rear seats, and the Mini One can haul up to 940 liters of cargo. Not bad for such a tiny hatchback. But again, its small size means you can only put so much stuff in the Mini. If you're the type that wants to carry a lot of stuff around, we strongly suggest you go for the bigger Countryman SUV or the Clubman wagon.
Despite being called the ‘One’, this five-door hatch is not powered by a 1.0-liter engine. Instead, it gets a 1.2-liter TwinPower Turbo engine that is connected to a six-speed automatic transmission. The inline-three produces a respectable 102 PS at 4000 - 6000 rpm along with 180 Nm of torque at 1400 - 3900 rpm.
My expectations for the Mini One were pretty high in terms of performance, despite having already driven the Cooper and Cooper S. I was not disappointed when I found out the engine was more than eager to deliver all its power to the pavement. Despite having only three cylinders, the turbocharged hatchback was spritely and quick on its feet.
What the Mini One lacks in sheer grunt, it made up for in revs. The three cylinder felt like it revved quicker; there was just a willingness to produce power quickly. The six-speed automatic was well-matched with the tiny engine and delivered smooth upshifts. However, I wished the Mini One had smoother downshifts when slowing down especially in city driving conditions.
Given the engine's small displacement, overtaking other cars on the highway has to be timed correctly. Sure, the turbocharged three-cylinder is peppy but you have to remember it lacks the raw pulling power of a bigger engine. Should you opt to go through the gears themselves, the six-speed automatic comes with manual select which makes for a more spirited driving experience (as well as safer overtaking). Sadly, the Mini One is not equipped with paddle shifters as those are only available on the Cooper models.
As far as fuel economy is concerned, the Mini One did pretty well in both city and highway driving. It was able to average around 9.0 – 10.0 km/l in light traffic and about 16.0 – 17.0 km/l along expressways.
Okay, so it's definitely not the fastest Mini out there, but being quick is not always the biggest draw now is it? Weighing just over 1200 kg and measuring less than 4 meters in length, the Mini One 5-Door retains the lightweight and agile handling as its stablemates. Thanks to quick and precise steering, the hatchback was a joy to drive through the twisties. Turn the wheel and the Mini One practically followed through with no delay. The short wheelbase, along with the far-flung wheels also paid dividends in delivering go-kart-like handling. Perhaps the only thing I can complain about its handling is the rather numb feedback from the steering wheel.
Small the Mini One 5-Door may be, I was surprised of its relatively quiet cabin and smooth ride. Yes, the suspension is still quite stiff, but when compared to the Cooper models, the One is slightly softer. Go over pock-marked roads and rutted streets and the ride will be less than favorable. However, wind noise, as well as engine noise were kept to a minimum. Cruising at a steady 100 km/h, the Mini One remained cool, calm and collected.
With a sticker price of Php 2,230,000, the 5-Door Mini One is not exactly what you might say as affordable. But considering that the cheapest 5-Door Cooper retails for Php 2,650,000, I'd say the Mini One in five-door guise is a pretty good deal. Sure it's down on power and has a little less features, but it is a Mini through and through.
What's more is that it still comes pretty loaded still. Standard features availabe in the Mini One include anti-lock brakes with electronic brakeforce distribution, brake assist, traction control, auto engine start/stop, keyless entry, cruise control with speed limiter, rear parking sensors with park distance control, rear ISOFIX anchors for child seats, rain-sensing wipers and automatic climate control.
It will never be as quick nor as agile as the Cooper and that is fine by me. Think of the Mini One as a modern interpretation of the original Austin / Morris Mini from the 60s. It has acceptable performance, reasonable riding comfort, zippy handling, decent luggage space, and sufficient legroom / headroom for four people. It just so happens to be a bit more fun than the original car.

Beijing (Reuters): A former Chinese justice minister has been expelled from the ruling Communist Party following an investigation by the anti-corruption watchdog, the first time the government has announced that she was in trouble.
Wu Aiying, 65, was justice minister from 2005 until February this year, according to her official resume, and one of only a handful of senior female officials in China.
In a statement released late yesterday following a four-day meeting of the party's Central Committee, the largest of its elite ruling bodies, Wu's name was listed as one of a number of officials to have been expelled from the party for graft.
While the other names listed, including former Chongqing city party boss, Sun Zhengcai, had been announced earlier, Wu's name had not been mentioned by the party in connection with any investigation.
The Central Commission for Discipline Inspection found that Wu had "serious discipline problems", the communique said using a euphemism for corruption.
It was not possible to reach Wu or a representative for comment.
Wu had spent most of her career working in the eastern province of Shandong, where she rose to become a deputy provincial party chief, before moving to Beijing in late 2003 to work at the justice ministry.
China's legal authorities have been one of the focuses of President Xi Jinping's crackdown.

As a Hungarian and American citizen, and as an artist studying in the U.K, my practice
innately deals with questions of belonging, truth and fiction in relation to memory. Through experimentation with the mediums of painting, installation and printmaking I aim to create surfaces entrenched in the tense dialectic inherent to these themes. The sources of the figures and compositions I use vary from automatic drawings, to observational sketches, from documentary films to feature films, from literature to folklores. My process is scattered over the aforementioned mediums and builds distance between the source images by way of repetition, analysis and appropriation. I aim to delineate a space similar to that of a sketchbook, visceral and constantly in flux, to create a panopticon of moments in order to achieve achieve a strange, paradoxically fragmented narrative that is suspiciously aware of its own limitations and of the viewers’ gaze.

Wainscott Capital Management founder Thomas Gilbert Sr. was shot in the head and killed at his Beekman Place apartment in Manhattan Sunday, prompting investigators to seek his son, according to the New York City Police Department.
Thomas Gilbert Jr., 30, was taken into custody at his Manhattan residence and was being questioned, a police spokesman said shortly after 1 a.m. in New York. The son hasn’t been charged with a crime, the spokesman said.

Authorities responded to a call about 3:30 p.m. on Sunday and found the father, 70, in a bedroom of the eighth-floor unit. The investor and his son were discussing differences in their relationship before the incident, the Wall Street Journal reported, citing an unidentified law enforcement official.
The elder Gilbert spent decades investing in stocks, as well as private-equity, real estate and fixed-income markets, before starting his fund in 2011, according to Wainscott’s website. It focuses on biotechnology and health-care investments. Clay LeConey, Wainscott’s director of sales and marketing, didn’t respond to a message outside business hours.

Neonatal hypoglycaemia is common, and a preventable cause of brain damage. Dextrose gel is used to reverse hypoglycaemia in individuals with diabetes; however, little evidence exists for its use in babies.
A study has assessed whether treatment with Dextrose gel was more effective than feeding alone for reversal of neonatal hypoglycaemia in at-risk babies.
Researchers undertook a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial at a tertiary centre in New Zealand during the period 2008-2010.
Babies aged 35-42 weeks' gestation, younger than 48-h-old, and at risk of hypoglycaemia were randomly assigned ( 1:1 ) to 40% Dextrose gel 200 mg/kg or placebo gel.
Randomisation was stratified by maternal diabetes and birthweight.
The primary outcome was treatment failure, defined as a blood glucose concentration of less than 2.6 mmol/L after two treatment attempts.
Analysis was by intention to treat.
Of 514 enrolled babies, 242 ( 47% ) became hypoglycaemic and were randomised. Five babies were randomised in error, leaving 237 for analysis: 118 ( 50% ) in the Dextrose group and 119 ( 50% ) in the placebo group.
Dextrose gel reduced the frequency of treatment failure compared with placebo ( 16 [ 14% ] vs 29 [ 24% ]; relative risk 0.57; p=0.04 ).
No serious adverse events was noted. Three ( 3% ) babies in the placebo group each had one blood glucose concentration of 0.9 mmol/L. No other adverse events took place.
In conclusion, the treatment with Dextrose gel is inexpensive and simple to administer. Dextrose gel should be considered for first-line treatment to manage hypoglycaemia in late preterm and term babies in the first 48 h after birth. ( Xagena )

Brushless motors and brushed motors essentially perform the same function. They convert electric current into rotary motion. The main difference between them is that brushed motors are mechanically driven and brushless motors are electronically driven.
While brushed motors have been around for more than 100 years, brushless motors began in the 1960s when solid-state electronics made the design of brushless motors possible. It wasn't until the 1980s that brushless motors became more common in tools and electronics. Today, both designs are widely used around the world.
■ Brushed motors
Brushed motors are motors that use mechanical brushes in their internal structure to transfer current by mutual friction with the commutator.
Advantages of brushed motors: Simple structure, low cost, and easy maintenance, so they were widely used in early electric vehicles and power tools.
Disadvantages of brushed motors: brushes wear out easily, sparks generated tend to burn out the motor, slow speed, etc.
■ Brushless motor
Brushless motors are motors that do not use mechanical brushes in their internal structure but rather use an electronic commutator to transfer current.
Advantages of brushless motors: long life, low maintenance cost, high speed, high torque, etc. With the continuous development of technology, brushless motors are more and more widely used in fields such as electric vehicles and power tools.
In addition to the differences in structure and principle, brushless motors and brushed motors also have some differences in performance and use. For example, brushless motors have less noise and vibration, so they are widely used in some high-end electric vehicles and power tools. In addition, brushless motors have better speed control performance and can be controlled by electronic controllers to realize precise speed control. Brushed motors can be speed-regulated by simply changing the voltage or current of the power supply.
In general, brushless motors and brushed motors have their own advantages and disadvantages, and the choice of which motor to use needs to be decided according to the specific application scenarios and usage requirements. In some of the requirements of high performance, high precision, and long life occasions, a brushless motor is a better choice; while in some of the requirements of low cost, easy maintenance occasions, a brushed motor is more suitable.
AIP specializes in global motor testing and has rich experience in motor testing, for more brushless motor testers and other motor testers please contact AIP via Tel/Whatsapp: +86-13969776659, E-mail: firstname.lastname@example.org, we will be very happy to discuss motor testing knowledge with you!

Kate Beckinsale has banned her daughter from joining social networking site Facebook.
RELATED: Kate Beckinsale at Comic-Con
The actress, who currently stars in "Total Recall," has a 13-year-old daughter, Lily Sheen, with former partner Michael Sheen, and although she admits she isn't the strictest parent, she has put her foot down when it comes to mixing with pals on the website.
She tells Britain's The Sun, "I have those conversations with her where she's like, 'But everyone else is doing it!' And I go, 'Well, you're not.' I let her put a temporary purple rinse in her hair as it washed out. But I wouldn't let her have Facebook."
She added, "I've got my own little code of things that I think are all right. I'm fine with things that are not permanent. But to me Facebook is permanent."

Repotting a Ponytail Palm
SO I've been at this for over and hour and can't seem to to find an answer to what I though was a really basic question... How deep to repot a ponytail palm.
It's about 6 inches tall and apparently the pot fell over. The person gave it to me with the plant sitting bare root on top of the soil in an empty 6" pot.
When I plant it, how far up the base should the new soil come? 1/2 inch? inch?
Help would be greatly appreciated. I've watered it as it, but want to plant it right.

It was easy to spot the dash of Hollywood glam at the Broadway opening night party of “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.” There were the chocolate fountains and the all-you-can-eat candy kiosk and the giant, solid chocolate sculpture of Willy Wonka that helped make the shindig a lot more lavish than your typical Broadway opening night. There were also some bold-faced executive names in the rooms including Warner Bros. chair and CEO Kevin Tsujihara and the WB’s president and chief content officer Toby Emmerich, there to celebrate the splashy bow of the latest show from the studio’s live stage arm, Warner Bros. Theater Ventures.
Audiences who saw the musical in London, where “Charlie” ran for three and a half years, will notice that the Stateside version is a remarkably different show, with a faster pace, more clearly defined character relationships and several new songs — not to mention a couple of newly-added, vintage tunes from the 1971 film that starred Gene Wilder.
That retooling was led by director Jack O’Brien, re-teaming with his “Hairspray” collaborators Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman after Sam Mendes directed the show on the West End. (Mendes and his company Neal Street Productions remains on board as a producer, as does Langley Park Productions.)
“We’re different here,” O’Brien said of the American crowds who have been helping power “Charlie” at the box office. “In London, they grew up with the book. We didn’t. We grew up with Gene Wilder in the movie. Sam was much more attracted to the Victorian Dickensian quality of the book, I think. I was attracted to Gene f–kin’ Wilder. That was one of the most mystifying performances of its kind.”
O’Brien tapped Christian Borle (“Falsettos,” “Peter and the Starcatcher”) to fill Wilder’s big shoes. The actor had to throw out everything he remembered from the 1971 film — plus shave his head — to put his own spin on the character. “We all had a Looney Tunes sensibility about it,” he said.
Emmerich, for one, raved about the actor’s take on the iconic role. “Borle’s performance was deliciously inspired,” he said. “And wonderfully different than any Wonka we’ve seen before.”
Borle had recorded some demos of the “Charlie” songs over the years for Shaiman and Wittman. Going back farther than that, Jackie Hoffman, a “Hairspray” alum, was involved in workshops of “Charlie” for eight years. She didn’t do the show in London, but she’s co-starring in the Broadway staging as Mrs. Teavee, the booze-loving, pill-popping mother of screen-obsessed kid Mike Teavee.
“We go so far back and we all know each other so well. It’s like we’ve been married,” Hoffman said of her relationship with Shaiman, Wittman and O’Brien. “They create with me in mind. For this, Marc looked in my medicine cabinet and wrote about pills!”

Ferrari have created a one-off supercar for rock legend Eric Clapton called the SP12 EC. The collaboration, described by Clapton as “one of the most satisfying things [he has] ever done” was created by Ferrari to pay “homage to Clapton's career and his long lasting experience as a Ferrari owner.”
Designed by the Centro Stile Ferrari in collaboration with Pininfarina and Ferrari's engineers in Maranello, the SP12 EC (SP for “Special Project” and EC for “Eric Clapton”) is based on the 458 Italia but features styling cues from Clapton's favourite Ferrari model, the 512 BB of the 1970s, of which he has owned three over the years. The engine is the 458's 4.5-litre V8 rather than a flat-12 as in the 512 BB.
Classic 512 BB styling touches on the SP12 EC's hand-built body include a larger air intake at the front of the car, grey slats on the front boot lid and a two-tone red and black paint scheme.
The SP12 EC is part of Ferrari’s One-Off Programme, which was launched in 2007 to create unique models following demand from customers. Cars built by the One-Off Programme must be based on an existing Ferrari platform, with customers also receiving the tooling used to make the car, thus ensuring that it will remain unique.
The design process for the SP12 EC was described by Ferrari. “Just like music is created, applying the right notes in the right places to build a musical score, so was the creative process behind the SP12 EC.”

On 20 July 1969, Neil Armstrong became the first man to walk on the moon, in front of a TV audience of 450 million people. His step was "a giant leap for mankind", but what of the other steps in his fascinating life? From building his own model planes as a little boy to becoming a test pilot and then an astronaut, Armstrong's is a story of soaring success. This concise and enjoyable biography puts together the pieces of his life and work for young readers. Puffin's 'Who Was . . . ?' book series presents clear and accessible biographies of some of history's most renowned individuals.
Much has been written about Neil Armstrong, America's modern hero and history's most famous space traveler. Yet shy of fame and never one to steal the spotlight Armstrong was always reluctant to discuss his personal side of events. Here for the first time is the definitive story of Neil's life of flight he shared for five decades with a trusted friend – Jay Barbree. Working from 50 years of conversations he had with Neil, from notes, interviews, NASA spaceflight transcripts, and remembrances of those Armstrong trusted, Barbree writes about Neil's three passions – flight, family, and friends. This is the inside story of Neil Armstrong from the time he flew combat missions in the Korean War and then flew a rocket plane called the X-15 to the edge of space, to when he saved his Gemini 8 by flying the first emergency return from Earth orbit and then flew Apollo-Eleven to the moon's Sea of Tranquility. Together Neil and Jay discussed everything, from his love of flying, to the war years, and of course his time in space. The book is full of never-before-seen photos and personal details written down for the first time, including what Armstrong really felt when he took that first step on the moon, what life in NASA was like, his relationships with the other astronauts, and what he felt the future of space exploration should be. As the only reporter to have covered all 166 American astronaut flights and moon landings Jay knows these events intimately. Neil Armstrong himself said, "Barbree is history's most experienced space journalist. He is exceptionally well qualified to recall and write the events and emotions of our time." Through his friendship with Neil and his dedicated research, Barbree brings us the most accurate account of his friend's life of flight, the book he planned for twenty years.
On July 20, 1969, Neil Armstrong stepped on the moon and, to an audience of over 450 million people, proclaimed his step a Âgiant leap for mankind.Â This Eagle Scout built his own model planes as a little boy and then grew up to be a test pilot for experimental aircraft before becoming an astronaut. Over 100 black-and-white illustrations bring ArmstrongÂ's story to life.
Author: James R. Hansen
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
Release Date: 2012-11-27
Genre: Biography & Autobiography
An authorized portrait of the first astronaut to set foot on the moon sheds light on other aspects of his career, from the honors he received as a naval aviator to the price he and his family paid for his professional dedication.
"Join Neil Armstrong on his journey to the moon! This book examines the extraordinary life of the first astronaut to set foot on the moon, from his early life to his first trip aboard an American spacecraft. Discover what the space race was and other developments happening at the time. Find out about the rigorous training that astronauts undergo and how they prepare for a journey into the unknown."--
This title introduces readers to Neil Armstrong, the great explorer who was the first person to walk on the moon. Armstrong�s life story is examined from his childhood to marriage to his studies at Perdue University and service in the US Navy and the Korean War. Armstrong�s years at NASA are covered, including the Gemini and Apollo programs, as well as Armstrong�s historic mission on Apollo 11 with Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins. Armstrong�s later years as NASA�s Deputy Associate Administrator for Aeronautics and tenure at the University of Cincinnati are also examined. Aligned to Common Core Standards and correlated to state standards. Abdo & Daughters is an imprint of ABDO Publishing Company.
Compares the lives of explorer Christopher Columbus and American astronaut Neil Armstrong, the first man on the Moon, describeing their earlier lives, the journeys for which they are famous, later developments, and their last years.
On July 20, 1969 the whole world stopped. It was a day in which a man who grew up on a farm without electricity would announce, "One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind." In this, the first ever biography of Neil Armstrong, Leon Wagener explores the man whose walk on the moon is still compared to humankind's progenitor's crawl out of the primordial ooze. And whose retreat back to a farm in his native Ohio soon after the last ticker tape confetti fell, has left him looked upon as a reclusive hermit ever since. This is the true story of a national hero, whose life long quest to walk on the moon truely mirrors our best selves, an American who braved incredible danger daily over a long career, finally achieving what seemed impossible, and broke free of the Earth's surly bonds proving forever that man can reach for the stars, and succeed. Relying on hundreds of interviews with family and friends of the astronaut, plus generous access to the NASA files, Leon Wagener explores the life of one of America's true heroes, in a book filled with extraordianry adventure, and even greater achievement. At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

According to Wikipedia: A coloring book (or colouring book) is a type of book containing line art for a reader to add color using crayons, colored pencils, marker pens, paint or other artistic media. Coloring books are generally used by children, though coloring books for adults are also available. They cover a wide range of subjects, from simple stories for children to intricate or abstract designs for adults. The golden age of coloring books is considered to be the 1960s.
Both teachers and parents could find the abundance of reinforcement for things that they teach about in terms of the educational coloring pages. Children could also be instructed in terms of knowing the colors, shapes, alphabets, seasonal occasions and even spiritual education to be strengthened in the church or even at home.
The series was originally released by Bandai Visual on VHS and LaserDisc from 1992 to 1998. On March 24, 2000, Toshiba Entertainment released the series on Region 2 DVD.

First, Fairies are a very safe addiction! No kidding, once you see the wonderful fairy art that is on the internet, you could very well find yourself in love with creating the little creatures. When I was a little girl I was truly mad about Barbie, Royal Doulton Figurines, fairy tales and Coloring. Years later... and I mean quite a few years later, I have rolled all of these interests into fairy coloring and drawing. Well, coloring a fairy is a very important step towards being a fairy artist. There are so many false premises about becoming an artist. So many people believe that if they were not born drawing, that art is something they cannot take part in. I believe coloring is an excellent way to begin the process of becoming a fairy artist. There are also varying degrees of being an artist. There are so many benefits to getting involved in art, beyond just the outcome.
After spending hectic hours in school kids can relax as they turn on the computer and start colouring. It is a great activity particularly as it replaces paper colouring. Colouring pages aid teachers and other educators with pictures rather than confusing them with the words. Pictures help young children understand what they are taught far better than words ever could. Colouring online is beneficial for young children as it teaches them concentration, self-discipline, dedication, a sense of achievement, complete tasks, the knowledge they had done their best and most importantly to boost their confidence and help them succeed in life.


The smash-hit Motown the Musical has arrived at Sunderland Empire. And boy is it spectacular! The show tells the story of Berry Gordy, the founder of the infamous Motown record label in this uplifting rags to riches story. Which launched the careers of superstars such as Marvin Gaye, Diana Ross and Stevie Wonder!
Motown: Where it all began
With a start-up of $800, and an eye for talent, Gordy set up in Detroit where he signed his first artist Smokey Robinson. From here we see the label grow from its humble beginnings with the discoveries and signings of some of the biggest names in music history.
We see Berry Gordy’s professional struggles throughout the years as the hits start to dry up, and his most loved stars begin to sign with other labels. Not only that but we also get an inside look into his personal relationships.
As someone who had no idea about the story of Motown, I found this musical thrilling. I’d even go as far as to say it’s one of the best shows I’ve seen! Seeing how these artists defined the sound of a generation despite their struggles in a time when race divided so many people was incredible.
Not only does Motown hold a fantastic story, but has some soulful hits that the audience went crazy for! You can expect to hear some of the biggest hits such as ‘Ain’t No Mountain High Enough’, ‘My Girl’ and ‘What’s Going On’.
Each and every singer, dancer and performer were outstanding! Karis Anderson who played Diana Ross gave off a warming presence. Particularly when she invited a member of the audience on stage to join her performance. From start to finish you’ll be wowed by the incredible voices of the likes of Edward Baruwa (Berry Gordy) and Shak Gabbidon-Williams (Marvin Gaye). Who won the audience over with his charm!
The overall production was also very impressive with clever uses of projection and retro sets. Also, archived footage from big events such as the assassinations of President Kennedy and Martin Luther King. You truly are transported through time and down memory lane with this musical!
Motown the Musical is at Sunderland Empire until the 26th October
You can grab your tickers here!
