A DAVID and Goliath battle broke out in Cardiff yesterday – over the humble baguette.
New bakery Baguette Express is embroiled in a row with pasty giant Greggs and has accused it of “underhand tactics”.
Baguette Express opened on Merthyr Road in Whitchurch 11 days ago and staff gave out promotional vouchers to passers-by, offering them £1 off their baguettes.
But staff and customers alike were shocked when a sign appeared in nearby Greggs’ shop window saying: “We now accept Baguette Express vouchers.”
Ramya Sivakumar, manager of Baguette Express, said: “It is strange because Greggs are such a massive company and they are cutting us.
“I went to Greggs and asked them about it but didn’t get a very good response.
“We have decided to leave the issue because really they are just promoting us.
“They have put a sign up letting everyone know we have opened and are advertising our great offers.
“A few of our customers have complained about it but it is a sign that we are good competition for Greggs.
“We have only been open since August 20 but already we have some very kind customers and they have said that because of this they won’t go to Greggs anymore.”
A Baguette Express customer who did not want to be named said: “They are trying to crush the competition.
“This new baguette shop has only been open for a week or so and this is out of order. I very much enjoyed my bacon sarnie here this morning and I intend to keep coming back.
“I certainly won’t go to Greggs; what they have done is underhand.
“Greggs is such a massive chain; there are a number of them you see around Cardiff. I think it is a very unethical way to conduct your business, frankly.”
The Greggs branch manager was yesterday unavailable for comment.
George Lazarou, chairman of Whitchurch Traders’ Association, said: “The situation has been brought to my attention. I spoke with the businesses and said ‘Look, at the end of the day there is plenty of business to go round and you are all grown-ups.’ I just left it at that.”
Baguette Express is a franchise with dozens of shops in Scotland and a number scattered across England, but the Merthyr Road shop is the first to open in Wales.
Greggs has 15 shops in Cardiff and 1,400 across the UK, with plans to open another 600 in the next few years.

Construction to begin on apartments at former Flyte Tyme Studios site in Edina
via Star Tribune
The nonprofit developer Aeon will begin building a 70 unit affordable apartment complex this week in Edina, at the former location of the famed Flyte Tyme Studios, once run by Grammy Award Winners Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis.
The $23 million project is expected to open in 2022. It will be called The Sound on 76th to honor the place where Michael Jackson, Janet Jackson, Mariah Carey, Boyz II Men, and Sounds of Blackness recorded music during the 15 years the studio operated in Edina.
The low profile cream-colored brick building that was used by Flyte Tyme from 1988 to 2003, has been sold several times since Jam and Lewis left the Twin Cities for California. It since served as a school and rentable rehearsal space before shutting in late 2018 to make way for the housing complex.
Artwork by local artist Ta’coumba Aiken that for years hung inside the studio will be reinstalled in the newly constructed apartments.
Aeon officials said that they worked on a development plan for years and that the new building should offer critically needed affordable homes just a block off France Avenue near the Southdale Center shopping mall.

1 Ancient Roots: The use of hypnotic-like techniques can be traced back to ancient civilizations. The Greeks, Egyptians, and Hindus had early forms of what we now recognize as hypnotherapy.
2 19th Century Development: Hypnotherapy as a formal therapeutic practice gained popularity in the 19th century, thanks to figures like James Braid, who coined the term “hypnosis” and emphasized its use for therapeutic purposes.
3 Not Mind Control: Contrary to common misconceptions, hypnotherapy does not involve mind control. Individuals under hypnosis are in a state of heightened focus and concentration, but they still have control over their thoughts and actions.
4 Individual Responses Vary: People respond to hypnotherapy differently. Some individuals are highly responsive and can enter a deep trance easily, while others may only experience a light trance or may not be as responsive.
5 Clinical Applications: Hypnotherapy is used in various clinical applications, including pain management, stress reduction, anxiety treatment, weight loss, and smoking cessation. It is also used in the treatment of phobias and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
6 Brain Activity Changes: Studies using neuroimaging techniques like MRI have shown that hypnosis can lead to changes in brain activity. It often involves alterations in the anterior cingulate cortex, thalamus, and default mode network.
7 State of Relaxation: Hypnotherapy induces a deep state of relaxation, which can be beneficial for both mental and physical well-being. The relaxation response can help reduce stress and promote a sense of calm.
8 Positive Suggestion: Hypnotherapy often involves the use of positive suggestions to influence behavior or thought patterns. These suggestions are tailored to help individuals overcome challenges, break habits, or achieve specific goals.
9 Complementary Treatment: Hypnotherapy is sometimes used as a complementary treatment alongside traditional medical approaches. It can be integrated into a comprehensive treatment plan for conditions like chronic pain, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), and insomnia.
10 Ethical Standards: Professional hypnotherapists adhere to ethical standards and guidelines. They prioritize the well-being and autonomy of their clients and ensure that the therapeutic process is conducted with respect and consent.

Slavery in Poland existed on the territory of the Kingdom of Poland during the rule of the Piast dynasty in the Middle Ages. It continued to exist in various forms until late in the 14th century when it was supplanted by the institution of serfdom, which has often been considered a form of modified slavery.
Polish literature refers to this group of people as "unfree people" (Polish: ludzie niewolni, Latin: servi, ancillae, familia) rather than as slaves (niewolnicy).
|Part of a series on|
The institution of slavery as practiced in the Polish territories during the Early Middle Ages played a lesser economic or cultural role than in other states such as Roman Empire where slavery played a crucial role in keeping economy alive. It existed on the territory of Kingdom of Poland during the times of the Piast dynasty; in fact, the number of slaves rose significantly with the establishment of the Polish state, as most of the slaves were owned by the king.
According to Samuel Augustus Mitchell, non-free people were emancipated in Poland in 1347 under the Statutes of Casimir the Great issued in Wiślica, although there are indications that some form of slavery, in practice and law, continued at least till the end of the 14th century. Throughout the remaining history of feudal Poland, particularly in the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth, much of the peasantry was subject to serfdom, which was often likened to slavery. Serfdom was abolished in Poland in the 19th century during the times of the partitions of Poland.
The slaves came primarily from the ranks of prisoners of war, and were treated as a commodity destined mostly for the largest slave market of its age: Prague. Later, between the 11th and 12th century, ransom was popularised due to acceptance of Christianity, but it covered mostly prisoners of prominence. Some people could also become enslaved due to their inability to pay off their debts, and occasionally enslavement was used instead of a death sentence. Children of niewolni would also belong to that class. They belonged to the king or knights. Niewolni owned by the king were organized in units of tens and hundreds. Those who were not owned by the monarch were among the few in the Kingdom of Poland that could not rely on royal justice.
Niewolni had a limited right to relocate themselves, and could own possessions. Over time, their numbers decreased, due in part to some escaping and also because their owners saw it as more profitable to use them as peasants (Polish: czeladź, Latin: servi casati) rather than servants. Czeladź would have their own house, and would be little different from regular peasants or serfs.
Slavery is illegal in Poland. Poland is part of the European G6 Initiative Against Human Trafficking. Contemporary slavery however still persists in Poland, just as it does in the rest of the world. According the Global Slavery Index, there were 128,000 people living in the condition of modern slavery in Poland as of 2019.
Types of slavery found in Poland include forced labor, forced begging, and forced criminality. Sectors of the Polish economy considered most vulnerable to slavery and other forms of exploitation include agriculture, construction, food processing, housekeeping and cleaning, although problems have also been found in the industrial production and catering sectors. Some of the people subject to forced labour in Poland were from temporary workers from North Korea. Common techniques for trafficking people into slavery from other countries include false job promises, high fees or alleged debts, rape, and withholding the person's documentation. False offers of employment are usually for sales or agricultural work. Many trafficking victims from Bulgaria and Ukraine are forced into sex slavery.

I don’t ever remember having my blood tested back in the UK. In fact I hardly ever had my blood pressure checked. I did have a urine test following a nasty urinary tract infection. The first test showed something that the doctor was certain wasn’t a problem so I was sent for a second test. I never got the results from that one and he never told me what the issue was about. The test I had recently in Bigastro was clear so obviously it was something of nothing.
Here, blood and urine tests seem to be commonplace. You regularly see the queue of people waiting down at the Centro de Salud to have these taken. I had mine done when my blood pressure was high and now Pamela has had hers done. The doctor should be able to access the results by Friday and print them off for her.
The two tests reveal a whole host of problems, some which you are experiencing and others which may be lurking ready to affect you in the future.
If all is OK, you return one year later for your next test. Let’s hope that is the case for Pam.

An extra renovation benefit
If you’re looking to renovate your investment property, the benefits extend beyond the potential increases in equity and rental returns.
Blogger:: Tyron Hyde, director, Washington Brown
To continue reading the rest of this article, please log in.
Create free account to get unlimited news articles and more!
We’re heading towards the end of summer and I don’t know about you, but every time I see the sun coming out and the weather improving I start thinking ‘What can I fix up around the house, or who can I get to do it?’
But before your excitement gets you too caught up in painting your cupboard a crisp lime green, or thinking whether your wallpaper should have a touch of yellow or orange, it is helpful to remember the benefits of renovating: equity growth, rental increases and the exciting benefits you may get with depreciation.
It is this third factor that I am going to discuss. After all, wouldn’t renovating be more rewarding if you knew that part of your expenses would come back to you through tax deductions?
HOW DOES IT WORK?
When you renovate an investment property, you can actually claim particular expenses that you incur as part of your renovation work. These can include the cost of that tile work you just did for the bedroom, or maybe that new edgy and urban kitchen sink. These things can actually get you a depreciation claim of 2.5 per cent per annum over a 40-year period. Even upgrading your plant and equipment items such as appliances and furniture can qualify for depreciation.
Essentially, the second you install the new items, they become depreciable. There aren’t many other areas in property investing where you can get results like this, so it’s worth making the most of them.
If you buy a property and you are going to renovate, it’s worth getting a quantity surveyor out before you begin. They will then attribute values to those items that are about to be removed. This can add up to a substantial amount, especially if the property was built after September 1987.
In order to do this, the property has to be income-producing prior to the commencement of the renovation.
If you have already gone ahead with your renovations, or will not have time to get a quantity surveyor in, then photos ofthe skip or pile of things being thrown out (and photos of them in situ) can help.
Once your hands are dirty and you have completed the renovation, get a depreciation schedule prepared on the new work that has just been completed. The depreciation process starts all over again with the added benefit of what you have just installed and changed.
MORE TAX DEDUCTIONS
With more tax deductions now available at the end of the next financial year, you can now go and really enjoy your summer, knowing you have maximised your finances and tax.

The US economic system shrank once more within the ultimate 3 months, unofficially signaling the beginning of a recession.
The trade division introduced Thursday that gross home product (GDP) – a large measure of the cost of items and services and products – reduced at an annual charge of 0.9% in the second one quarter after falling at an annual charge of one.6% within the first 3 months.
The unhealthy information can be a big blow for the Biden management because it prepares for a tricky midterm election season. White House officers have attempted to tamp down communicate of a recession, arguing that many portions of the economic system stay robust.
The expansion charge stands in marked distinction to the powerful 6.9% annual building up in GDP recorded within the ultimate quarter of 2021 when the economic system roared again from Covid shutdowns.
The rapid tempo of expansion contributed to hovering inflation – now working at 40-year highs – and the Federal Reserve’s resolution to sharply building up rates of interest in an effort to deliver down costs.
The converting financial setting used to be mirrored within the GDP file. Consumer spending – the biggest motive force of the economic system – slowed over the quarter however remained certain, emerging 1% on an annual foundation. Residential mounted funding, or house development, dropped 14% on an annual foundation and slowing trade inventories, items produced however now not but offered via companies, dragged down the GDP quantity.
Two quarters of detrimental GDP expansion are extensively considered a sign that the economic system has long past into recession. But the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) is the professional arbiter of when recessions start and finish. While the GDP figures will play into the NBER’s ultimate verdict, it additionally seems to be at a much broader vary of financial components, together with the roles marketplace, and is not likely to present its resolution quickly.
“The 0.9% annualized fall in GDP in the second quarter is disappointing but doesn’t mean the economy is in recession,” stated Andrew Hunter, senior US economist at Capital Economics. “That said, the details show that higher rates and surging inflation are weighing on underlying demand, and we expect only a muted rebound in economic growth over the second half of the year.”
In the interim, drive stays at the Biden management. Surveys of shopper self belief are falling as recession fears develop and Joe Biden’s general and financial approval ballot numbers are on the lowest ranges of his presidency.
In a commentary, Biden stated it used to be “no surprise that the economy is slowing down as the Federal Reserve acts to bring down inflation. But even as we face historic global challenges, we are on the right path and we will come through this transition stronger and more secure.”
Republicans countered that the file displays “Democrats’ reckless economic policies are destroying our economy”.
The newest GDP figures got here an afternoon after the Fed introduced every other three-quarter of a share level building up in its benchmark rates of interest because it fights to tame inflation.
Prices rose at an annual charge of 9.1% within the 12 months to June, pushed up via hovering prices for gas, meals and refuge.
While portions of america economic system stay robust – maximum particularly the roles marketplace – the Covid pandemic continues to play havoc with world provides and the struggle in Ukraine has driven up power costs.
The complicated financial outlook has precipitated sell-offs in inventory markets around the globe and led some economists to are expecting a recession is coming. Nearly 70% of main instructional economists polled via the Financial Times ultimate month predicted america economic system will tip right into a recession subsequent 12 months.
Fed chair Jerome Powell stated on Wednesday that he didn’t imagine america used to be now in a recession. But he stated the Fed used to be ready to stay elevating charges in an effort to deliver costs go into reverse and that it used to be inevitable that this kind of transfer would gradual the economic system and impact the process marketplace. “Price stability is what makes the whole economy work,” stated Powell.


Republican congressional leaders are looking to get a jumpstart on their 2018 strategy this weekend in a retreat with President Trump at the Camp David presidential getaway in Maryland. Compared to the more specific discussions on a funding package earlier this week, the Camp David meetings are expected to focus on the long-term Republican strategy before November’s midterm elections. The congressional delegation — expected to include Republican leadership from both chambers — will likely outline the balance between policy objectives and the political realities of election season, which is set to be a defining theme in Congress this year. Meanwhile, President Trump is reportedly going to press his colleagues this weekend for the introduction of a long-anticipated infrastructure package.
After a false start this week due to the House’s absence and the Senate’s weather-induced early departure, both chambers will convene next week to start their legislative work for 2018. The Senate has a cloture vote scheduled for Monday on the nomination of William Campbell to be a U.S. District Judge, with three additional judicial nominations in the queue for the remainder of the week. The House’s legislative docket for next week has yet to be released.

Yet when Theodore Olson, the lawyer for two same-sex couples, urged the court to support such marriage rights everywhere, Kennedy feared such a ruling would push the court into "uncharted waters." Olson said the court similarly ventured into the unknown in 1967 when it struck down bans on interracial marriage in 16 states.
Kennedy challenged the accuracy of that comment: He noted that other countries had had interracial marriages for hundreds of years.
The justice also made clear he did not like the rationale of the federal appeals court that struck down Proposition 8, even though it cited earlier opinions in favor of gay rights that Kennedy had written.
That appeals court ruling applied only to California, where same-sex couples briefly had the right to marry before the state's voters in November 2008 adopted Proposition 8, a constitutional amendment that defined marriage as the union of a man and a woman.
Reflecting the high interest in the cases, the court planned to release an audio recording of Wednesday's argument shortly after it concludes, just as it did Tuesday.

A stylish chameleon like no other, Jennifer Lopez came out with another ’70s inspired look that should be at the very top of our fall fashion wish list. You may recall that she referenced a decade of fun in many of her most recent outfits, including Vibrant pattern flare pants on the way to the gym and super chic Wide leg white pants with high heels when she’s on set with her husband Ben Affleck.
Plus, she’s recently embraced a more tailored wardrobe, leaving her alone signature workout set for elegant lace skirthappy shirting pussy bow, and – now – tailored denim flares. During a weekend outing in New York, Lopez went to celebrate Affleck’s 50th birthday with their children, and she chose Et Ochs high waist jeans with a clear white down button for the occasion. Accessories wise, she respects her bag with the beloved Gucci logo. Although her shoes are not visible from afar, they seem to provide just enough height to accommodate the length of her flared pants.
For those keeping the numbers, this outfit marks the third time Lopez has been spotted in this same pair of jeans. At the beginning of July, she rocked a white pair, styled in a black bodysuit, while visiting Affleck on set. And the furthest is JanuaryJ Lo re-weared the same dark shoes she styled, with the frilly purple top graced the full runway when the Et Ochs collection debuted.
As the wardrobe transition from summer to fall begins, consider a suggestion from Lopez. With the usual essentials like denim and a white shirt, you’ll have an easy yet elegant outfit to function in the morning, noon, and evening.

Released just a few weeks ago, Susan Winter's debut album is a live recording of her classy, engaging cabaret show at New York's Metropolitan Room. That show won her the Bistro Award and she's got a winning, warm, wise way about her that comes through on disc. Here's someone who can get inside a lyric because she understands it, loves it and sounds like she has lived it or is at least very comfortable in its skin. It all seems very natural, whether she's radiating optimism with "Lucky to Be Me" from On the Town or quietly in awe of a man being in love with her in "It Amazes Me," the gem by Cy Coleman and Carolyn Leigh. With an exciting, vibrant voice that can belt without getting harsh, snuggle up to a love song without slipping into mushy sentimentality, the Winter way is a versatile one. Also possessing a particularly attractive vibrato that takes in emotion and lets it linger in the air, she has a lot going for her.
Susan's set list consists mainly of the Great American Songbook. There's Gypsy's "Small World" done simply and effectively and a touching but very down-to-earth re-framing of the Gershwins "Isn't a Pity" to show how she re-connected with her father when she was well into adulthood. In her patter, she talks about her parents' courtship and marriage, with appropriate songs and anecdotes, including their own letters, to crystallize key moments, romantic and amusing. That's the centerpiece—or more precisely, heart—of the act. Heart is what Susan Winter shows plenty of, as well as a savvy way of getting to the heart of a song. She communicates. And she is at her very best with "You'll See" by Carroll Coates, perfectly nailing great lines encouraging a potential lover to open up, like "Come on, give in/ Surrender and win/ You haven't far to fall." Notably, she's at ease with post-Golden Age material, too, like Dave Frishberg's "Love Rolls On" and "I Can't Be New" by Susan Werner and Jane Paul: cool stuff. All she needs to complete this pretty picture and pretty marvelous album are a couple of sensitive and super-skilled musicians, and she's got 'em: bassist Tom Hubbard and Rick Jensen, who is the simpatico pianist, arranger and her co-producer. They co-produce sparks here ... and a lot of intelligent, satisfying music.


Swift version: 5.2
Closures and functions are very similar in Swift, but there are some subtle differences. When you’re learning, it’s easiest to think of a closure as being a function that doesn’t have a name of its own, and captures any values from its environment.
Nested functions – functions inside other functions – also capture values from their environment, but they have a name. As for global functions – functions that aren’t inside another function or type – they are also like closures, except they have a name and don’t capture values from their environment. Like I said, the differences are subtle!
Helpfully, Swift completely blurs the lines between functions, methods, operators, and closures, allowing us to use them interchangeably as long as they accept and return the correct types of data.

Police: Woman, 23, groped by massage parlor owner
Farmington Police say a Livonia woman ran out of a massage parlor in “hysterics” after the owner reportedly touched her inappropriately.
Con Van Vuong, owner of the Oriental Spa at 33409 Grand River was arrested and charged with three counts of assault following the allegations. Farmington Police say Vuong is not a licensed massage therapist and is currently a registered sex offender for a sexual assault conviction in 2004.
“It’s clear his intent was to take advantage of this victim for sexual gratification,” Farmington Public Safety Director Frank Demers said in a statement. “Because of the brazenness of his actions, it is likely that he has assaulted other women at his business in the past. We’re hoping that anyone who may have had a similar experience with Mr. Vuong at Oriental Spa will come forward.”
The victim, 23, had scheduled a massage at Oriental Spa on May 11. Police say upon her arrival, she was escorted to a massage room by Vuong and instructed to remove her clothing and lay on her stomach under a sheet on the massage table.
The victim told police that shortly after the massage began, the owner had instructed her to turn over and lay on her back. She reportedly did so, at which time Vuong allegedly moved the sheet exposing her bare breasts.
More on hometownlife.com
According to police, the owner then began touching the woman’s breasts and genital area. When he reportedly grabbed the woman’s hand and placed it over his genital area, the woman left the room in a panic.
Vuong, 43, of Troy is charged with three counts of fourth-degree criminal sexual conduct, a misdemeanor that carries a maximum sentence of two years in jail. He was arraigned last Friday before 47th District Court Judge Marla Parker. His bond was set at $150,000 or 10 percent surety pending a pretrial hearing that’s set for May 26.
While Farmington has an ordinance regulating businesses that offer massages, Demers suggested public officials might want to amend the ordinance to ensure that massage therapists operating in the city are licensed.


European Union seeks unity amid crises
- Author: Leroy Wright Mar 30, 2017,

The marches coincided with the Rome Summit, where the heads of state and government of 27 European Union member countries - excluding the United Kingdom -gathered to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the Treaty of Rome, which led to the foundation of the EU.
The informal summit in Rome sees leaders from across Europe renew their commitment to the European Union in light of Britain's impending exit.
With the EU facing a string of crises on top of Brexit including migration, a moribund economy, terrorism and populism, EU President Donald Tusk called for stronger leadership. Then Europe became one again.
Eventually they joined their fellow members in signing the Rome declaration, a success for a bloc that in recent years has appeared divided in the face of an influx of refugees from the Middle East and Africa.
Thousands of demonstrators have gathered in London to protest Britain's departure from the European Union as Europe's Treaty of Rome statute celebrates its 60th anniversary. UK Prime Minister Theresa May is set to trigger the Article 50 of the EU Lisbon Treaty to start the Brexit talks on March 29.
At the Colosseum, in central Rome, two different pro-Europe rallies came together.
European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker spoke with optimism, urging member states not to be sidetracked by disgruntled voters and offering to listen to concerns while maintaining solidarity.
The leaders had the words of Pope Francis ringing in their ears, after the pontiff warned on the eve of the summit that the crisis-ridden bloc "risks dying" without a new vision.
But he believed the European Union was strong enough to see through the challenges it faced from economic problems and the migration crisis to the terrorist threat and rise of populist anti-Europe movements.
Greece, the loudest voice against the austerity policies wrought by its three Eurozone bailouts, meanwhile insisted that the document should mention social policies.
The process that will begin Britain's exit from the European Union is expected to start on Wednesday.
At the end of the summit, all 27 leaders signed the Rome Declaration saying that "European unity is a bold, farsighted endeavor".
The treaty was signed in the Horatii and Curiatii hall of the Palazzo dei Conservatori, one of the Renaissance palaces that line the Michelangelo-designed Capitoline Square.
Protesters included Alistair Campbell, former British Prime Minister Tony Blair's press secretary, who believes Brexit could severely weaken the United Kingdom economy.

Audi C5 A6 Quattro 4.2 V8 Engine speed sensor
This article discusses the engine speed sensor for the Audi C5 A6 with the 4.2 V8 as made from 1999 to 2004, with the main focus being on how a clueless repair attempt can mess things up. If you're not here for the technical analysis but would rather buy a used unit from us, guaranteed to work and fit, then please select the link below: The information herein is based on our own project car. a 2001 4-door.
Last Updated: 09/24/2017
Parts Group: Engine speed sensor
The seller had had the timing belt done ... not at the dealer, who charges $2K or so, I've read. Instead, he had it done at a nearby service station. When I heard that, I though that this seemed to be a gamble, but ... maybe they knew what they were doing, and they charged only $800 or so. I can understand the temptation.
Next, the engine speed sensor had failed. The seller had explained that the dealer had wanted $800 or so to fix that, and that had been the straw that broke the camel's back. He decided to sell the car. For $1,000, I bought it and had it transported to my shop. I ran some diagnostics and saw error code 16705, which means: an implausible signal coming from the engine speed sensor. That reconciles to what the seller had said.
He'd also said the car won't start, but on a hunch, I tried to start it anyway. It started, but ran very, very roughly and then stalled. I turned my tech loose on the problem. First of all, we studied an out-of-the-car engine and transmission so we could conveniently see where the engine speed sensor was attached. We saw that it was attached just above the rectangular green-and-silver plate that identifies the transmission, on the driver side, in front of the front drive shaft. From there, we wend back to our project car -- and saw that someone had been messing with the wiring for the engine speed sensor. All three wires had been cut and then reattached. My tech compared how the wires were connected to the wiring on a similar car ... and found that they had been connected incorrectly. He broke the connections, connected the three sets of wires correctly and ... the car started, and idled just fine.
Even so, there was an odd noise coming from behind the engine, from where the engine speed sensor was located. He removed the part (one Allen head bolt, size 6) and found that it had beem hewed up pretty badly from hitting something that was rotating. The reason was obvious: the correct installation uses a spacer plate, and the engine speed sensor had been installed with this spacer plate omitted, so the sensor was extending too far and was making contact with whatever it was supposed to be measuring. The sensor was still working but it was in pretty bad shape, so we replaced it with a good used one that we had. We started the car again ... and again it idled and revved nicely but the alarming noise had also vanished.
Out of morbid curiosity, I just looked into the new prices for this part. Assuming I'm looking at the right part, a new Bosch unit can be had for less than $50, and for someone who'd never done this before, the remove-and-replace work took less than an hour. One what premise someone would quote $800 to do the work, I cannot imagine.
Anyway, for $1,000 plus the trivial price of transporting the car to my shop,and the trivial cost for today's fix, I have a nicely running 2001 Audi A6 Quattro 4.2 V8. Life is good.

Thanks to ConAgra Foods for sponsoring this post!
Cheesy Tex-Mex Cornbread Stuffed Peppers
I love football and all the giddiness of game watching, but you lose me at tailgating. I don’t mind standing around with friends and eating, but to be the one who has to lug a whole bunch of equipment somewhere and deal with the weather and a bunch of drunk fans? Not my scene.
Enter homegating: inviting people you actually like to tailgate in your home, where God-willing there are sofas, a built-in oven, and central air. It’s what glamping is to camping. Here are some tips to improve your homegating game:
1. Think small. We’ve been instructed by our mothers, cheesy inspirational movies, and the occasional fortune cookie to THINK BIG, but the glory of football food is that everything’s small. It’s one of those glorious times when your entire meal can be made of small bites and appetizers. Consider prepping a few different apps that require the same base — for instance, I created two kinds of stuffed peppers.
2. Opt for versatile decor. You may be tempted to skip decorations and just set out the chip bowl, but it’s amazing what a little ambience will do for your gathering. I always opt for decor that can be used for a lot of different occasions instead of specific team colors and mascots. I love cute diner decor like a red-checked tablecloth, plastic baskets, and a few glass-bottled sodas.
3. Get silly. Goofy football hats, face paint, and foam fingers make homegating just as exciting as being at the game. Your guests won’t be expecting them, but that’s what makes them fun!
I bought this.
4. Have a friendly food competition. Try making a few different versions of the same dish (or having each friend bring a version) to add some fun besides the big game. Mini chili cook-off, anyone? We had our own little stuffed pepper cook-off at my homegating party and it was quite a close race! These Cheesy Tex-Mex Cornbread Stuffed Peppers won by a narrow margin, but I’ll share the delicious Vegetarian Sloppy Joe Cornbread Stuffed Peppers with you too!

- 6 sweet bell peppers, halved lengthwise with seeds and membranes removed
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese, plus extra for topping
- 2 tablespoons chopped green chiles
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1 (15-ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1/2 cup frozen corn kernels
- 1 (15-ounce) can Hunt's Fire Roasted Diced Tomatoes, drained
- 2 teaspoons ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 package cornbread mix, plus ingredients needed to make it (usually milk and eggs)
- sour cream (for serving)
- chopped green onions (for serving)
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line a baking sheet with foil sprayed with PAM Cooking Spray. In a large Dutch oven or stockpot, boil enough water to cover the peppers. Place the peppers into the boiling water and cook for 2 minutes. Drain and set aside.
- Place cream cheese, cheddar, and chiles in a medium bowl. Place olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. When the oil shimmers, add the cumin and toast it for a few seconds until fragrant. Add the beans, corn, and tomatoes and cook until they're heated through and most of the moisture has evaporated, about 5 minutes. Stir in the salt. Pour this hot mixture over your cream cheese and cheese and let it it for a couple of minutes to get melty before mixing it together until well combined. Fill each pepper with the mixture, saving some room on top for the cornbread.
- Prepare your cornbread mix according to package instructions. Spoon a generous amount in the top of each stuffed pepper. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the cornbread is done. Sprinkle with cheese and place back into the oven just until the cheese is melted. Serve with sour cream and chopped green onions.

Leading care home operators have given their responses following anger at news their CEOs had been given COVID vaccinations.
In a report by the Daily Mail, relatives voiced their anger at social media posts showing Barchester CEO Dr Pete Calveley, MHA CEO Sam Monaghan and Orchard Care Homes CEO Hayden Knight receiving their COVID shots, while more than three quarters of residents still awaited their jabs.
Jenny Townsend, the daughter of a resident with Alzheimer’s at a Barchester home in Chester, told the Mail she was “incensed”, adding a jab was her only hope of seeing her “rapidly deteriorating” mother. “It is simply unjust,” she added.
Tania Le Marinel, whose mother was isolating at an Orchard home that had suffered a second COVID outbreak in a month, said she was “appalled” by the post of boss Hayden Knight receiving his jab.
Responding to the Mail’s report, MHA CEO, Sam Monaghan, said: “When you lead an organisation in the sector that has seen the worst ravages of COVID-19, you do everything you can to urge and publicise to your care home colleagues and the broader public how vital it is that they get the vaccine. MHA is doing everything possible to support residents and staff to have the vaccine and my receiving it is part of encouraging and reassuring them to do so. Vaccination relies on the cooperation of everybody taking it up, so we must be seen to fully embrace it as a good.”
A Barchester spokesperson said Dr Calvelely had “stepped up” during the first phase of the COVID-19 vaccine “to show leadership” and encourage others to do so.
Barchester said Dr Calveley visited at least 100 services a year in “normal times” to meet residents, patients and staff and had taken on the responsibility of being COO. Barchester said Dr Calveley was looking forward to resuming regular care home visits as soon as possible.
“Our senior staff that have received the vaccine have done so either because of their operational roles or to lead by example and give staff and residents further assurance that the vaccine is safe and that receiving this is the best course of action to keep our residents, patients and staff as safe as possible,” the spokesperson said.
A spokesperson for Orchard Care Homes said staff had worked hard to ensure that their residents were among the first to receive vaccines in early December.
Orchard said almost 60% of residents and 40% of staff had received their first jabs, well above the national rate, with the government reporting that just under a quarter of residents had been vaccinated as of Monday.

Ross and Nancy Friedman don’t just think about their late son, Gregory Paul Friedman, every day.
“I think about him every minute,” Ross says.
“Every second,” Nancy insists. Time will never heal the Lake Forest couple’s grief, after Greg, 27, died a week after taking a seemingly adulterated dose of the drug Ecstasy (MDMA)/Molly that was provided by a childhood friend at a California concert in 2017.
But the Friedmans—a pair of Highland Park High School graduates— and tireless GPF Foundation volunteers and supporters have devoted countless hours to work toward a future where the public and the medical community have the knowledge needed to combat the risks of recreational drugs.
“It’s modern-day Russian Roulette,” Nancy Friedman says of the hidden dangers linked to contaminated drugs that can be bought online and delivered to homes.
“Back-room chemists are producing and providing these drugs,” Ross Friedman says, adding Greg—who never had suffered from anxiety or depression, or had suicidal thoughts—informed peers and his doctor that he felt like he was “living in a parallel universe with a portal to hell” a few days before his death.
A coroner ruled Greg’s death accidental because of circumstances.
“Our son,” Ross says, “was suffering detrimental effects from the drug, culminating with a psychotic break one week later.”
Some 1,200 people attended a ceremony to honor Greg Friedman at Lake Forest High School, where he was a star football player, having amassed 1,700 rushing yards and 18 touchdowns for the Scouts’ sophomore squad. LFHS varsity football coach Chuck Spagnoli and his staff entered the main gymnasium, site of the ceremony, with the program’s players.
Each player wore a Scouts football jersey.
“Although some may have heard of Greg, none of them knew him because they all were at least 10 years younger, but that was wonderful to see,” Ross says. “People who did know Greg were shocked at how he died. In disbelief. He was intelligent, athletic, artistic, and healthy, loving life and on top of the world. You’ve heard about right-brain people and left-brain people. Well, Greg was both, but he was incredibly humble.”
Shortly after the gathering, friends of the family asked Ross and Nancy to create a foundation in Greg’s name. The GPF Foundation was launched in 2018. Its mission is to save lives by supporting education, appropriate treatment, and overall awareness of the dangers related to recreational drug use.
“Our focus on harm reduction education is very different from the ‘Just Say No’ culture of the past,” Ross Friedman explains.
“We’re realistic and teach young people how to keep themselves and others safe. We’re taking a two-pronged approach—educational and medical—and we’ve received tremendous support from Lake Forest College, Rosalind Franklin University of Medicine and Science and collaboration with our foundation’s medical fellows from NorthShore University HealthSystem and Cook County Hospital, among others.
“Handling adverse reactions to MDMA,” he adds, “has been recognized as a blind spot in the medical community.”
The Fourth Annual GPF Foundation fundraiser—“An Evening of Exploration”— promises to be an eye-opening event. It will be staged at Northmoor Country Club (820 Edgewood Road, Highland Park) on October 14, beginning at 6 p.m. Tickets can be purchased for $250 per person.
The keynote speaker is Dr. John M. Grunsfeld, a former NASA astronaut, a veteran of five Space Shuttle flights, a man dubbed the “Hubble (Telescope) Repairman”, and a 1976 Highland Park High School graduate.
Two of his classmates?
Ross and Nancy Friedman.
One of Greg Friedman’s many passions was space exploration.
WGN News anchor Larry Potash will emcee the event, which will include another special virtual appearance by Dan White, “Magician at the NoMad.”
“It’s very difficult, because one of the drivers of the foundation was inspired by the loss of our child,” Ross Friedman says. “But we’re making inroads, saving lives.
“We’re truly making a difference, and Nancy and I are heartened to continually receive extraordinary support from so many friends, volunteers, members of the community, and professionals.”

Across history, moments of reset, or restart, invariably put human values at the center. Humanism is the seed of rebirth.
This is one of such moments. Focusing on fashion as the profoundly human activity of giving form to matter through the hands, shaping creations that the body inhabits and brings to life, Pierpaolo Piccioli conceives a new start in the space of fifteen silhouettes. He focuses on the human and lets it dialogue with the digital to create a new dream, at once material and immaterial. A dream of pure fashion in which the painstaking work of the Ateliers is handed over to artist Nick Knight to bloom and flourish in light.

Fashion is very extreme. It is either head-turning or gobsmacking; it’s one spectrum or another, and never in-between.
And there’s no place where this is more evident than one of the biggest red carpet events of the year -the MET Gala.
The Met Gala, or Met Ball, is an annual fundraising gala held in New York City to benefit the Costume Institute of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. It is widely recognized as the most prominent fashion event in the world.
Hosted by Vogue on the first Monday of May each year, celebrities from many professional areas are invited. This means we get to see some celebrities in hilarious outfits or gowns. And here are the 14 biggest 14 misfired fashion statements in met gala history that leaves us confused.
#1 Kim Kardashian broke the Internet in 2021 with her meme-worthy all-black, faceless ensemble.
Kim Kardashian wore a faceless all-black Balenciaga short mini dress with a long train and leggings that stretched into high boots in what became the most talked-about Met Gala wardrobe of 2021, and probably ever. Kardashian could only be identified by her silhouette.
#2 Rihanna donned a yellow dress with fur trim and a spectacular circular trail during the 2015 gala, which became a meme.

Rihanna wore a yellow-and-gold Guo Pei Chinese couture gown-coat hybrid with fur detailing to match the 2015 theme. According to Vogue, the circular trail on her dress sparked a surge of memes, including an omelet cooking in a skillet.
#3 Jared Leto attended the 2019 Met Gala with a life-size facsimile of his skull.
In keeping with the “Camp: Notes On Fashion” theme, Jared Leto wore red Gucci robes with puff sleeves and cascading silver embellishments to the 2019 gala. He also donned transparent gloves and carried what seemed to be a severed copy of his skull.
#4 Alan Cumming attended the event in 1998 dressed fully in silver and wearing sneakers.
Source: Jim Spellman/WireImage
At the 1998 Met Gala, the Scottish actor donned a metallic-silver lamé jacket and slouchy slacks with a deeper shade of silver T-shirt. Cumming accessorized her extremely reflective ensemble with casual blue-and-white shoes.
#5 Sarah Jessica Parker was chastised for her culturally insensitive “China: Through The Looking Glass” costume in 2015.
Sarah Jessica Parker was chastised for her racist impersonation of the “Asian Dragon Lady” stereotype while wearing a bespoke H&M black asymmetrical gown with one long sleeve, a thigh-high slit, and a floor-length skirt with a tiny train.
#6 Lady Gaga inadvertently stepped on Kate Hudson’s gown at the 2016 Met Gala, and the two had an awkward meeting.
Husdon chose a futuristic white gown with a sweetheart neckline and a mesh train evocative of bridalwear. Meanwhile, Gaga was dressed in a Versace sequin leotard and a jacket embroidered to look like an electric circuit board, along with fishnet stockings and 10-inch heels, which caused her to step on Hudson’s frock.
#7 John Galliano walks the Met Gala red carpet with Charlize Theron in an… outfit in 2006.

The British fashion designer walked the red carpet with Charlize Theron at the 2006 Met Gala, “AngloMania: Tradition and Transgression in British Fashion.” Galliano accessorized with a red-and-white polka dot waistcoat, sequined blue trousers, a black coat with an embroidered hem, animal-skin cowboy boots, and a hat atop permed hair.
#8 During the 2014 “Charles James: Beyond Fashion” Met Gala, Rita Ora’s high-slit gown malfunctioned.
Rita Ora wowed on the red carpet at the 2014 Met Gala, wearing a nude, embroidered Donna Karan gown with Lorraine Schwartz jewels and gold wrap-around gladiator shoes, according to Cosmopolitan. According to Mail Online, Ora’s dress rode up due to the gown’s high slit and she had to correct herself on the red carpet.
#9 Jaden Smith wore his braids from a prior haircut to the 2017 Met Gala.
Jaden Smith had an unexpected red-carpet moment at the 2017 Met Gala when he wore an all-black Louis Vuitton look and carried locks of his hair that had been cut off earlier that year for his role in “Life in a Year.” Smith said he was aiming for a “Dracula look” when he wore a black T-shirt tucked into skinny pants with a long trench coat and leather boots.
#10 Kylie Jenner’s “Heavenly Bodies” costume in 2018 only had a zipper because her dress was torn that day.
Jenner wore an Alexander Wang mini dress with a stomach cut-out, a high back, and a train to the 2018 “Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination” gala. She paired black and transparent shoes with sunglasses and tights with the designer’s name written in silver up her calf.
#11 Hillary Clinton wore a leopard-print gown and a golden shawl in 2001.

Senator Hillary Clinton was among the A-list guests at the “Jacqueline Kennedy: The White House Years” event in 2001. Her sleeveless gold leopard-print taffeta gown was paired with a crinkled golden shawl. Clinton paired her gown with a hefty gold chain necklace and bracelet, as well as vivid red lipstick.
#12 Kirsten Dunst wore a bright blue beanie cap to the goddess-themed event in 2003.

Dunst was spotted on the 2003 Met Gala red carpet wearing a black sleeveless midi dress by Marc Jacobs. She accessorized with a stacked silver gemstone necklace, a wrist cuff, a little black clutch purse, and a mismatched blue beanie cap.
#13 Kim Petras transformed into a real-life horse girl at the 2021 Met Gala, wearing an outfit with an orange horse head and a true-to-life ponytail.
Kim Petras, a real-life horse girl, attended the 2021 Met Gala, the first of two events with the subject “In America: A Lexicon of Fashion.” According to Vogue, the pop diva walked the red carpet in a pale-blue Collina Strada gown with a vibrant flowery design and expanded hips, complete with a 3D horse-head bustier.
#14 Helen Lasichanh’s red costume at the 2017 Met Gala was compared to a lobster and a gummy bear.
Lasichanh donned a crimson Comme des Garçons ensemble to the event, which was themed “Rei Kawakubo/Comme des Garçons: Art of the In-Between.” She accessorized her structured bright-red jumpsuit, which featured a broader profile at the shoulders and hips, with black open-toe flats and a top knot on her hair.

Time-varying thermal dynamics modeling of the prototype of the REMS wind sensor
Document typeConference report
Rights accessOpen Access
The objective of this work is to show the results from the analysis of the thermal dynamics of a prototype of the REMS 3D wind anemometer using the tools of Diffusive Representation (DR). DR is a mathematical tool that allows the description of physical phenomena based on diffusion using state- space models of arbitrary order in the frequency domain. From open-loop experimental measurements, where a current signal with a wide frequency spectrum is injected in the heaters, time-varying dynamical thermal models are extracted for different wind velocities. This models provide the temperature evolution of the parts of the system under study as a function of the power delivered to the heat sources. The prototype of the wind sensor used in the experimental setup is based on thermal anemometry, which is the method that has been used in multiple occasions for the challenging task of wind sensing in Mars. It is based on the detection of the wind velocity by measuring the power dissipated of a heated element due to forced convection. This technique was employed in the wind sensor of REMS (Remote Environmental Monitor System) sensor suite, on board Curiosity rover since 2012. In 2018, it is expected to be launched the InSight (Interior Exploration using Seismic Investigation, Geodesy and Heat Transport) mission to Mars. It will include the TWINS instrument (Temperature and Wind sensors for InSight mission) which is an heritage from REMS. The prototype used in the experiments, is composed of three PCBs (Printed Circuit Board) placed on a cylindrical supporting structure (boom) at 120 ¿ from each other. Each PCB contains four Silicon dice set with Platinum resistors that are used as heating elements. The thermal dynamical characterization of one of the dice and its cross-heating with the boom is going to be presented.

The key to having abundant energy is making sure you eat tons of fruits & vegetables!
I’m guessing you knew the answer already huh? 😉
This isn’t rocket science, however while browsing through the web, I often come across articles or videos that talk about the best healthy fruits to eat for [insert benefit here].
Whether it be abundant energy, clear skin, or better mood, people seem to always be looking for the latest and greatest super food or fruit that will solve all their problems!
To be honest, Durian fits that role pretty damn well 😉
Kidding aside, it’s easy to get caught up in the mentality that says you should eat X fruit for Y benefit.
This kind of thinking is embellished in the raw food movement, especially with super foods. Fruits like Goji berries are marketed to be able help you perform better athletically, achieve deeper sleep, be more mentally sharp, and the list goes on. All of these are probably 100% true, but does that really make it a superfood?
Fruit is no doubt healthy, so as long as big companies spend a few dollars funding studies, they can get away with having legit evidence about why their superfood is so good for you.
In reality though, Goji berries are just berries. Sure, they have their list of amazing benefits and are a healthy fruit to eat, but if you ate large amounts of almost any fruit, you would feel just as amazing.
Since you did click on this article, I’m assuming you really are looking for how to have an abundance of energy. The answer is to simply become healthy.
We need to stay away from all of the hype of eating for specific benefits. This kind of thinking just causes us to keep chasing the latest fad, and never actually building our health.
Stick to the basics of health by eating a simple fruit and vegetable diet. Everyone knows fruits and vegetables are healthy, so why are we still so surprised when studies come out telling us how great they are?
Focus on eating a plethora of fruits and veggies, and everything will fall into place. Whether it be abundance of energy, losing weight, or just feeling great, these are all a part of being healthy.
No amount of reading of articles on “healthy fruits to eat to lose 50 lbs in 2 minutes” will grant you a quick fix. Health is cumulative, meaning you have to constantly be working on it and building it. Take responsibility and start working on your health today.

Urban life quality improved by JNNURM said NSSO
The NSSO data showed that JNNURM scheme improved key indicators of urban life in India
The National Sample Survey Office (NSSO) data showed that JNNURM scheme improved key indicators of urban life in India and it reached the poorest of poor.
The Government spent over 46000 crore rupees on infrastructure augmentation under JNNURM scheme.
• 24 percent of slums have benefited from welfare schemes such as JNNURM and Rajiv Awas Yojana.
• 95.3 percent people living in urban areas felt significant improvement in water supply.
• About 76 percent improved their access to some sort of garbage disposal system in cities and towns.
According to the Urban Development Ministry’s data, among 539 projects sanctioned between 2005 and 2012, at least 217 projects are completed and 322 are in a stage of completion. Out of 806 UIDSSM projects 413 projects are completed.
Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission (JNNURM) was officially inaugurated on 3 December 2005 to improve the quality of life and infrastructure in the cities.
The JNNURM has two major schemes:
Urban Infrastructure and Governance (UIG):
The main focus of UIG is on infrastructure projects relating to water supply, sanitation, sewerage, solid waste management, road network and urban transport.
It also focuses on redevelopment of old city areas, shifting industrial and commercial establishments to confirming areas.
Urban Infrastructure Development for Small and Medium Towns (UIDSSMT):
UIDSSMT focus is integrated development of slums and achieved through various projects for shelter, basic services and other related civic amenities which provide utilities to the urban poor.
