Porsche Design may have one of the most creative speaker designs in recent memory with the 911 Soundbar 2.0 Pro. It’s not every day that you see an actual exhaust system from a 992 GT3 turned into an audio entertainment platform. Not to be outdone, Bowers & Wilkins debuts its own avant-garde entry dubbed the Zeppelin McLaren Edition.
It’s already apparent where this is all going as the distinct outline of this wireless speaker resembles that of an iconic airship. Interestingly enough, without the stabilizers, it looks more like a “pigskin” used in American football albeit stretched beyond its normal dimensions.
In short, the Zeppelin McLaren Edition is likely to become a conversation piece when not in use. Bowers & Wilkins is a name synonymous with high-end performance and superior craftsmanship, which, in a sense, mirrors the ethos of its collaborative partner.
McLaren’s highly coveted vehicles are also equipped with sound systems supplied by its fellow British brand. With this in your home, you can enjoy curated acoustic fidelity with an automotive pedigree behind each playback. The Zeppelin McLaren Edition is available in Galvanic Grey and Papaya Orange.
Within its sleek housing resides a powerful subwoofer, FST midrange drivers, and double dome tweeters. It can directly stream music from Spotify Connect, Last.FM, Deezer, Pandora, Qobuz, and TIDAL. Pair it with your supported devices via Bluetooth, or use AirPlay 2 for Apple platforms.
The Zeppelin McLaren Edition measures 25.6” x 7.6” x 8.3” (W x D x H) and weighs 14.33 lbs. Only 60 units are available for purchase given it’s a commemorative release to celebrate the 60th anniversary of its co-brand. Special badging can be found on the stand and rear of the speaker.Check Price

Davido is one artist that has constantly lifted his team to stardom alongside his own rising star.
The DMW label boss had a historic performance tonight on the Wireless Festival main stage during the annual London concert and while performing, Davido invited Mayorkun on stage with him.
The 30BG gang singers closed their set with a performance of the hit song “Che Che Che” after also singing Mayorkun’s “Mama” together.
During his set, Davido was backed up by DJ ECool. He performed songs like “Fia”, “Fall”, “If”, and more.
Watch the performances below.

John Gibbs, who defeated a Republican who voted to impeach Trump in the primaries, also made comments in the early 2000s about the 19th century. .”
Featured on Gibbs’ personal page at Stanford in 2000 and 2001, the Society for the Critique of Feminism championed the male-dominated patriarchal society, calling it “the best model for a society’s continued success.”
Gibbs’ campaign spokeswoman Anne Marie Schieber told CNN that Gibbs believed women should be allowed to vote and work.
“John made the site to provoke the left on campus and call attention to the hypocrisy of some of today’s feminists. It was nothing more than a college kid being overwhelmed,” she said in an email. “Of course, John doesn’t think women shouldn’t vote or work, and his mom worked for the Michigan Department of Transportation for thirty-three years!”
Gibbs requested that the think tank’s website be removed from the Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine in 2016, according to an Internet Archive spokesperson. But CNN’s KFile reviewed it on another archive service.
At that site, Gibbs actively argued against giving women the right to vote, arguing that it led to an expansion of the federal government.
“We conclude that increasing the size and scope of government is absolutely bad,” Gibbs added. “And since women’s suffrage has caused it to happen on a larger scale than any other cause in history, we conclude that the United States has suffered as a result of women’s suffrage.”
“When I got to Stanford, I met some conservatives there through the Stanford Review,” Gibbs said. “Having real conservative friends in the flesh — which I didn’t have in high school, I kind of read — made a big difference. Having people I could be friends with who could sharpen me and my conservatism. So, yeah, that was it: through discovering Thomas Sowell in high school and through the friends I had at Stanford keep building ideas.
Controversial comments in the past
Gibbs is a former Trump administration official who served in the Department of Housing and Urban Development and was later appointed director of the Office of Personnel Management.
Argued against women in the workplace
A section of Gibbs’ website said that having more women in the workplace “divides” men, preventing them from making offensive jokes and leading to “trees” (sic) of sexual harassment lawsuits.
“In the post-feminist workplace, men need to step back to make sure they don’t inadvertently offend any woman who happens to overhear a joke or comment made with humor and harmlessness,” the site says. “Too many anti-sexual harassment laws are enacted, resulting in disproportionately large numbers of sexual harassment cases, wasting the time and energy of the courts and the legal system, and taxpayer dollars.”
Gibbs’ website also said that having more women in the workplace was affecting chemistry and having fewer workers.
“Companies must make a concerted effort to recruit and promote women who may or may not be on par with men,” he said. “Furthermore, the chemistry of having women in a masculine environment reduces business cohesion and productivity from what it might otherwise be (this is especially true of the military, though by no means limited to it). All of these things go without saying. It takes away from a team’s effort to produce effectively.”
“Therefore, since increasing the presence of women in the workplace does not benefit men, women or business operations, there is no factual basis to say that more women in the workplace is better,” he concluded.

Developer buys former Lodge in Lancaster
LANCASTER - Closed since last year, The Lodge in Lancaster building at 129 E. Main St. is now under new ownership.
Columbus resident Tom Fortin, under his Urban Loft Properties, closed on the sale Monday with CME Federal Credit Union. He said he wants to keep the property as a restaurant with events in the ballroom on the first floor and rent the second floor out for office space. Fortin said he also may eventually renovate another ballroom that is on the second floor.
"This is a very iconic building in downtown Lancaster, and people have a lot of memories with it," he said. "I want to bring those memories back."
Fortin said he plans to change the name of the property and that it will no longer be called The Lodge in Lancaster. He said he hopes to sign a well-known, successful Lancaster restaurant owner to open a restaurant in the building and that the restaurant name would be part of the building's name. However, Fortin would not say who the restaurant owner is.
"We haven't signed the lease yet, but he is hand-picked by me," he said.
Fortin said the restaurant also will provide the food for the events in the building.
He said it will take about 60 days or so to remodel the building, depending on the weather. He said the work will include painting, flooring and carpeting, along with waterproofing the building's west wall and upgrading the heating and cooling system. But Fortin said the building is generally in good shape overall.
He said there are no events scheduled for it yet.
Fortin would not say what he paid for the building, but he said what may sound like a low price is actually not when renovation costs are included.
Previous owner John Schaffer bought the former Elks Lodge in 2010 after the Elks were closed down by the national organization, and he made extensive renovations to it. He opened the restaurant in 2011 before CME took it over.
Fortin said he also is interested in buying two more well-known city properties, but he would not say what they are, only saying he has some "big ideas for downtown Lancaster."
Lancaster Mayor Brian Kuhn said it is good someone from outside of the city is investing in it.
"It's exciting to think about it," he said. "It seemed like The Lodge was the hub of social activity downtown. Not just just the Rotary and Kiwanis meetings, but there were weddings, graduation parties and anniversaries there. I'm thankful that it's going to be back open again."
Destination Downtown Lancaster/Special Improvement District Executive Director Dave Scheffler agreed.
"It's really exciting, and I'm glad to see it finally sell," he said. "I'm looking forward to seeing it developed and seeing all the things it may spur downtown."

How will you know that you have a urinary tract infection (UTI)?
- You will have the typical symptoms of UTI, i.e., painful urination, feeling urgent but passing small amounts of urine frequently and a sensation of incomplete bladder emptying.
- Your urine may appear cloudy and even bloody.
- The causes of UTI are similar to those of recurrent or repeated UTI as listed below.
How do you know that you have recurrent or repeated UTI?
You have recurrent or repeated UTI if you have more than 3 episodes of UTI in a year but it must be confirmed by urine tests showing:
- more than 105 organisms (bacteria or germs) per ml of a single organism.
- with more than 10 white blood (pus) cells per ml.
How common is it?
- About 5% of women 15 – 65 years of age have significant amount of bacteria (>105) in their urine.
- 25% of women experience at least 1 proven recurrence of UTI within 6 months of the 1st attack.
What are the causes?
- Not drinking enough fluids
- Dehydration from e.g., sports, outdoors in hot weather, food poisoning (vomiting and diarrhoea).
- Passing urine infrequently because of e.g., your job (does not allow you to visit the toilet), fear of dirty toilets, long distance travel with infrequent toilet breaks.
- After painful sex in younger women, e.g., after just beginning sexual intercourse or too frequent coitus (“honeymoon cystitis”).
- After painful sex in more matured women, from infrequent coitus or too frequent sex over a short period of time, e.g., when husband comes home from working abroad.
- Unhygienic toileting habits, e.g., wiping or cleaning from back to front
- Difficulty in passing urine, e.g., after vaginal delivery, pelvic organ prolapse, after prolapse and or incontinence surgery.
- Kidney and/or bladder stone, tumour; foreign body in bladder.
What will your doctor find when he/she examines you?
- High and/or tight, painful and tender (pain on examination) posterior fourchette (the entrance of the lower part of the vagina), especially on parting the vagina.
- Pain and/or tenderness of the bladder (lower part of the tummy and/or top of the vagina).
- Pelvic organ prolapse, especially of the bladder (cystocoele) and/or uterus (womb).
- Menopausal changes: narrowing, dryness, thinning and paler colouration of the inside of the vulva and vagina.
What tests are done?
- Urine tests to check for urinary tract infection.
- Bladder scan to check the amount of urine still left inside the bladder after you have voided- to exclude a high residual urine which is common in voiding difficulty.
- Kidney and bladder scan to check for stones, tumours, foreign body, e.g., tapes or meshes.
- Cystoscopy: Inserting a medical telescope to inspect inside your bladder and urine pipe.
What can be done?
Treat the causes:
- Drink adequately: at least 1.5-2.5 L of fluids per day (7-8 cups or glasses).
- Avoid dehydration.
- Pass urine regularly (every 2-3 hourly).
- Pass urine before and after sex and to drink more in the next 1-2 days after sex.
- Use lubrication if necessary, practise foreplay to reduce vaginal dryness and painful sex.
- Experiment’ by trial and error to find out which sexual positions suit you and your partner best, causing the least discomfort and pain during sex.
- Wipe or clean from front to back after opening your bowels.
- Treat urinary tract infection (UTI) initially with broad spectrum antibiotics which may need to be changed to the appropriate antibiotic after the return of the urine culture and sensitivity result.
- Treat post-menopausal changes with local Premarin (oestrogen) cream and vaginal Vagifem (oestradiol) tablets to prevent vaginal dryness, painful sex and recurrent UTI.
- Treat pelvic organ prolapse with pessary or surgery.
- Refer patients with kidney and/or bladder stones, tumours and foreign bodies to our Urological colleagues.
- Treat a high and/or tight, painful and tender lower part of the entrance of the vagina with surgery by a minor procedure called Fenton perineoplasty.

“Hawaii” is a Cinematic Time-Lapse Short Film Of Mark Twain’s Favorite Islands Directed By Matt Johnson.
Filmed, Edited and Directed by: Matt Johnson
Music Composed by: Sleeping At Last
Narrated by: Stan Robinowitz
“Paradise of the Pacific” by Mark Twain
“Hawaii: No alien land in all the world has any deep strong charm for me but that one, no other land could so longingly and so beseechingly haunt me, sleeping and waking, through half a lifetime, as that one has done.
For me the balmy airs are always blowing, its summer seas flashing in the sun; the pulsing of its surfbeat is in my ear; I can see its garlanded crags, its leaping cascades, its plumy palms drowsing by the shore, its remote summits floating like islands above the cloud wrack; I can feel the spirit of its wildland solitudes, I can hear the splash of its brooks; in my nostrils still lives the breath of flowers that perished twenty years ago.
It is the loveliest fleet of islands that lies anchored in any ocean.”

The Royal Exhibition Building in the Carlton Gardens at Melbourne is of ‘historical, architectural, aesthetic, social and scientific significance’.
The building and its setting is a glorious remnant of the Victorian age at its best, a powerful place to spend time grabbing a precious moment in the heart of a bustling city of the 21st century.
Setting aside this parcel of land for public use was the vision of Charles La Trobe (1801-1875) the Superintendent of the Port Phillip District of New South Wales, who became Lieutenant Governor of the colony of Victoria when it was declared a separate state.
Following several years of lobbying by Melbourne City Council, The Royal Exhibition Building and the Carlton Gardens the precinct was inscribed on the World Heritage List in 2004 during the 28th session of the World Heritage Committee held at Suzhou in China.
Today it’s wonderful to stand inside and look up at the balcony’s that surround the enormouos hallway, imagining crinoline clad ladies and top hat attired gentlemen looking down onto the wonders on display at the opening of the first Melbourne International Exhibition in 1880 when it was first completed.
La Trobe’s personal motto was whoever seeks shall find”.
How appropriate then this building in the gardens he had the vision to allocate is the venue to house the Australian Antique & Art Dealers Association Melbourne Antiques Fair, 2014.
Today I am sure La Trobe would have been pleased to come back and see it full of stalls offering very appealing goods, many of which he would have recognised.
Polymath Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519) believed sight was a man’s highest sense, because it alone allowed him to enjoy an experience immediately. How right he was. This year’s fair was a wonderful occasion to not only look, but also see.
It was a very relaxed happy occasion for many, at least judging from all those generous people I spoke to as they wandered about exploring, looking, choosing and buying treasures from a sensational array of antiques and art.
They recognised that the ambiance provided by the architecture itself created a wonderful and lasting impression.
Without doubt they approved of the new layout of the fair, which many of them described to me as being far more personal, far more intimate and definitely much more accessible.
They were also pleased there seemed to be something there for everyone, an artwork, an object or a collectable that would have suited many tastes and budgets and a great many pieces found their way to new homes.
The antiques and art dealer’s had all gone to a lot of trouble with their stands, either resembling warm and inviting living rooms you really wanted to step into, or a fascinating cabinet full or curiosities and splendid objects of Virtu you wanted to take home and enjoy.
Objects of Virtu were a special focus for Allpress Antiques of Malvern, Victoria. Jamie Allpress and well-known botanical artist Mali Moir are currently collaborating to produce beautiful drawings of selected objects for sale from his collection.
Mali Moir has completed three so far; one of a stunning Deco reproduction of a 17th century style chandelier, another of a 19th century China Trade dragon decorated tureen with the final one being of a Deco style ceramic lion.
Allpress Antiques also offers fine country furniture and botanical art works, many by Basilius (Basil) Besler (1561-1629), whose works portray the ‘botanical richness of the garden’ during his age.
This was when the science of botany broke away from medicine, to which it had long been subordinate and many new flowers were introduced to the public in countless books.
Before Besler’s day illustrations of plants were about providing a means of recording there many and varied parts for posterity and he certainly transformed the botanical landscape with his beautifully rendered aesthetically pleasing imagery.
On the subject of art next door to Allpress Antiques was Day Fine Art from glorious Blackheath in the Blue Mountains of NSW offering rare works that were aesthetically appealing and of historical significance.
I particularly enjoyed seeing the gentle work by Austrian artist Eugene von Guerard (1811-1901) who spent a great period of his life in Australia.
His Unweit Cumae Bei Naepe (Not Far from Cumae Naples) c 1840 is a rare view of the Mediterranean in days of yore.
Eugene von Guerard lived in Naples after 1832 and painted landscapes in Southern Italy and Sicily over a six year or so period before moving to Dusseldorf for a while, sailing to Australia lured by the gold rush in 1852.
He travelled in Australia extensively recording the landscapes he encountered during the mid 1800’s. He took on commissions for wealthy pastoralists, recording their properties and dwellings and by the early 1860’s was the foremost landscape artist in Victoria and the colonies.
Day Fine Art also had a pair of watercolours depicting the Blue Mountain Swallowtail butterfly (male and female) that were very affordable. True delights.
Alan Landis Antiques from Sydney specialises in fine ceramics, especially the rare and unusual.
Alan Landis has been a leading dealer of historical Wedgwood for most of his career.
He not only had some fabulous 18th and 19th century pieces, but also some very smart Wedgwood from the Deco to the Retro age.
He had a stand out case full of stunning Meissen birds and also a pair of very rare Minton Cache pots, which certainly took my eye because of their wonderful sculptural qualities.
Alan is the official valuer to the National Trust of NSW and his eye for detecting quality, detail and rarity is second to none.
As a registered valuer under the Cultural Gifts Program and advisor to the Historic Houses Trust Alan Landis has valued the contents of Vaucluse House, Elizabeth Bay House, Rouse Hill, as well as the Sydney Town Hall collections.
Then there were glorious glasses, looking and otherwise, all of which refracted the light so splendidly.
They were all very enticing; although I would have to say one marvelous monumental glass vase by Emile Galle completely captured my attention.
As I have always been a glass collector this stunning piece decorated with exceptionally scarce design of Australian gum nut and gum leaves, made c1900 in France, certainly appealed to my sensibilities and aesthetic. It came from Walter & Co of Richmond right here in Melbourne.
Walter & Co are specialists in 19th century Australian colonial furniture and objects. They were also offering some quite simply stunning cameo glass from Thomas Webb, also rare and desirable.
Peter Valentine of Valentine’s Antique Gallery was at the top right hand side of the main aisle, offering a splendid array of 19th and early 20th century English and Australian furniture, porcelain, glassware and decorative items.
Valentine’s Antique Gallery is sited in Victoria’s central, and certainly very appealing city of Bendigo. He was showcasing a rather impressive walnut display bookcase c1860 with fine satinwood stringing and crossbanding as well as its original impressive figured ormolu mounts.
The creation of such fine furniture is dependent upon its requirements for social gatherings and entertainment and its design has always reflected changing conditions, new modes of life and ways of thinking, as well as function and use. It would make a statement piece in any personal or professional setting.
Walnut is such an attractive timber, smooth, lustrous and stable when seasoned, it has a fine even grain and texture, with a beautiful figure due to the annual rings, and it polishes well.
Textiles hanging on walls or on floors or over tables are always appealing, especially to my sensibilities being an interior designer by trade.
The Behruz Studio offers a fine collection of rugs and textiles; the rare silk Heriz from the Azarbaijan region of North West Persia.
It was very special and they had put together an interesting selection from their extensive collection for their stand.
Behruz offers his customers a wonderful selection from kilims and sumaks to decorative carpets, and from runners to tribal and village rugs, these wonderful eastern rugs are always very appealing because of their historicity and cultural significance.
Behruz moved from his homeland Iran to Melbourne and set up shop here in 1984. Since that time he has become one of its most respected dealers and advisors on historic textiles in Australia, one much admired by his peers.
The Behruz Studio were winners of the “Object of the Fair’ competition.
Nomadic Rug Traders from Sydney also dealers in fine textiles, had a superb Shirvan Marasali prayer rug from the northern Caucasus and many other stunning textiles that caught my eye.
They were certainly grabbing the attention of those looking for that special present, engagement or wedding ring.
Anne Schofield was offering a stunning ring, which caught my eye because of its subject and its ‘QI’ category.
It sported the face of a lady wearing a mask, probably for the Venetian carnivale. Surrounded by rubies, an important symbol of passion and love, it was very desirable.
The Mossgreen Collection had a very impressive stand, with a superbly put together collection of Australian art, Chinese, Asian and International tribal arts as well as European and Australia decorative arts to choose from.
This is my personal favourite era of design and this piece was small and entirely too scrumptious, just right for today’s apartment living.
Wouldn’t mind tossing my keys onto each night as I arrive home.
To that end I absolutely loved Greengrass Antiques from Sydney’s display.
Derek Greengrass had a wonderful array of ‘ethnographica’, which is goods gleaned from many cultures.
Derek possesses a fine eye and a very refined taste in all things wonderful and he hones in on things that are very unique.
His bronze sculptural figures of Mercury and Fortuna c1880 were on their own a stand out, although so many things caught my eye that I found myself in a personal wonderland.
He also had a very fine pair of rare silhouettes, another favourite category of decorative arts to collect in, although rarely seen in Australia even though many colonial immigrants to our shores either brought them with them or commissioned them here.
Walking to and from the Royal Exhibition building is always a happy experience. It is set in the glorious Carlton Gardens, where sweeping lawns, deciduous trees, artificial lakes and beds of old fashion annual flowers and shrubs form wonderful shapes. They are a punctuation of colour among long appealing avenues of sensational English Oaks and London plane trees, the rare today Elm trees as well as Conifers, Cedars and Moreton Bay Figs. They overshadow and set off superbly the still working fountains, as well as the Royal Exhibition building’s high Victorian architecture.
The AA&ADA Melbourne Antique Fair 2014 overall, held in this glorious setting and very special place was certainly a great success.

Accounting for Crises: A Marxist History of American Accounting Theory, C.1929 to 2007 (Hardcover)
Historians have not convincingly explained modern capitalism's two major economic crises, the Great Depression of the 1930s, and the Global Financial Crisis (GFC) of 2008-2009. Accounting for Crises offers a new explanation, why both began and were more severe in the USA ('America'), based on an accounting interpretation of Marx's theory of crises. It explains their origins in capitalists' control of accumulation, which reveals important overlooked roles for Irving Fisher's accounting theory. This theory, by allowing discretion in accounts, in the context of falling rates of profit, encouraged 'swindling', overstating reported profits, and understating their risk, which facilitated and aggravated both crises. Framed by Fisher's theory, during the 1920s American accounting theorists justified discretion, which Creating the 'Big Mess' (the companion volume) concluded it management used to conservatively smooth earnings. Accounting for Crises shows that Fisher's theory, also underlays the popular new theory of investment that justified valuing shares using reported earnings, which encouraged their manipulation and legitimized 'speculation'. This, it argues, underlays America's exceptional late-1920s stock market boom, the 1929 Great Crash, and the depth and length of its Great Depression. Prominently associated with the boom, Fisher became unpopular after the crash, his name disappearing from public debate. Nevertheless, the book concludes, his theory hindered economic recovery, weakened 1930s reforms, undermined accounting regulation from the late-1930s, and following his rehabilitation from the late-1950s, underlies the Financial Accounting Standards Board's conceptual framework, which by allowing off-balance-sheet accounting for securitization-SPEs, fostered the 2007 'credit crunch' that triggered the 2008-2009 Global Financial Crisis (GFC).

A descendant of the Highland Scottish clan Lamont lives in Cluj-Napoca, north-western Romania, and battles for the rights of disabled people. Her name is Sally Wood-Lamont.
With a strong Scottish accent, Sally Wood-Lamont starts telling her story over Skype. It’s mid-November, and she is taking part in the International Paralympic Committee in Mexico as representative of Romania. We have managed to plan an interview via Skype despite the 7-hour time difference between Romania and Mexico.
“I got involved with Romania in 1990. I’m a librarian by profession,” says Sally.
She speaks clearly and distinctly. It’s how she learned to pronounce the words in her teen years. Growing up with a mother who became deaf after 35, Sally understood she didn’t have to shout, just say every word clearly.
When Sally would go out with her mom, people would turn and talk to the daughter, as if the mother was invisible. She would tell them every time that her mother was deaf, not stupid, and she spoke seven languages.
Decades laters, Wood-Lamont’s combative attitude isn’t different. She leads the Romanian Paralympic Committee, and has managed to bring Romanian athletes to the Paralympic Games in Beijing, London, and hopefully, in Rio de Janeiro, next year.
“People with physical disabilities are not very much different from you or me,” Sally explains. They may not have a leg, an arm, but they’ve got a brain, and they are very able to live like you. There is no difference.”
For Sally, this is obvious, but for a big part of the Romanian society, disability means more than just a leg or an arm missing.
Romania’s existing education system is segregated, and children with a disability don’t attend public schools, reads a report by Philip Alston, United Nations Human Rights Council Special Rapporteur, after his visit in Romania, in November 2015. People with disabilities also face a variety of challenges in employment and housing.
“I noticed that a lot of NGOs treated these people like children,” says Sally. “That’s how they called them, ‘copii’. They weren’t children. They weren’t growing up and they weren’t learning how to grow up, they were always supervised by other people like they were disabled not only physically but also mentally.”
But Sally Wood-Lamont discovered one of the best and easiest way of integration: sports.
The Highland Scottish hockey player
Sally Wood-Lamont’s family are from the Lamont Clan, a Highland Scottish clan that ruled for centuries almost all of the Cowal region, in the west of Scotland. Her grandfather was a minister of Coldingham, a village on the East Coast of Scotland, from 1897 to 1952, when he moved to Edinburgh.
Despite the legend-like family history, Sally’s childhood wasn’t fairyland. Her mother, who worked as a teacher until she lost her hearing, was a single parent and didn’t have much money. After she had become deaf at 35, she continued to give private lessons. She spoke six foreign languages and could teach all of them. “A very eccentric but very normal person,” Sally says laughing. She loved reading biographies and telling stories.
In primary school, Sally was the biggest in the class and wore a fringe, which was her hallmark as a child. She was good in all sports, but never the best, Sally says. The height of her career was when she became part of the school’s first hockey team. Sally was the goalkeeper.
The hockey adventure ended when she was 14 and a half. She didn’t have a lot of money, so she had to find a job. Sally worked in a store on Thursday evenings and Saturdays, and that clashed with all the matches that she would do in hockey or volleyball.
“I couldn’t ask mom for money for myself, so I had to be independent from a very early age,” she says.
Now she teaches young adults with disabilities how to become independent through sports. She didn’t plan to work in the field of disability or to move to Romania. Everything happened naturally.
The Lamont Center in Cluj-Napoca
A fire destroyed many of the books of the University Library of Bucharest during the 1989 Revolution in Romania. Academics in the country asked for help in Europe for rebuilding library collections. Sally was a senior librarian at the Edinburgh University. She was asked if she would head the Scottish Books for Romania Appeal.
“I was a person who did a lot of things and liked to get involved with projects. They gave me six months to do the project. That’s how I started.”
In 1994, Sally moved to Cluj-Napoca, a city in the north-west Romania. She took on a different project here: automation of Cluj medical library. Together with a Romanian woman called Ioana Robu, Sally had to get all the books into a database.
Then one day two young disabled men asked Sally if she could pay their entry ticket to a competition run by the Romanian Federation of Sports for Disabled people.
“Sure, I would be very happy to do that,” she replied. Sally kept sponsoring them at different competitions and realised that sport made them more independent. During the competitions, they were on their own, and no one supervised them.
“At competitions they were adults, they were not children anymore. They could talk, and they could do their sport, they were free of parents as well.”
Wood-Lamont then got a mini bus and would organize city tours for disabled people or would bring them to a centre where they could socialize. They were so enthusiastic about leaving their homes even for a few hours, that Sally decided that if she ever had the money, she would open a proper club.
Her mother died in 1999. The same year, Sally had the money to start a club: The Lamont Center. It started with 20 members, and it now has 50.
It takes, at least, three years to get to performance in sports, Sally says. Sometimes it takes about eight years to train a Paralympic athlete, the same as for an Olympic athlete. There is no difference in preparation.
“A disabled person has got even more to do, much more to conquer, their fear, their lack of belief in themselves. They’ve got the motivation to prove that they are equal to other sportsmen.”
Out of the 20 sportsmen that started in the Lamont Center, at least 15 are married and have jobs now.
“Sport has changed their lives. It has integrated them into a society that had rejected them. And Romania is a society that has rejected them in many ways,” Sally says.
Once a librarian, always a librarian
In 2008, Wood-Lamont was asked to go as Chef de Mission to Beijing with the Romanian Paralympic team. Sally hadn’t been to a large sports competition since 1970 when the Commonwealth Games took place in Edinburgh. Back then, she was 20 and loved the whole atmosphere. So now she grabbed the chance. It completely changed her life because she saw that what she had started to do in her club could be done nationally in the whole of Romania.
One year later Sally was elected President of the Romanian National Paralympic Committee.
Romania’s Paralympic team started with one qualified athlete at the 2008 Summer Paralympic Games in Beijing. Four years later, Romania had five athletes who qualified for the London Paralympic Games. For the Paralympic Games that will take place in Rio de Janeiro next year, Romania hopes to have between 10 and 12 athletes.
In a 2012 interview with the Chicago Tribune, Sally Wood-Lamont explained that corporate sponsors are not very interested in the Romanian Paralympic team, and she subsidises herself the team with several thousand euros a year.
The Romanian National Paralympic Committee received last year 100,000 euros from the Ministry of Youth and Sports for international competitions, training and equipment. This budget barely covers anything but attendance at the major competitions, European and World Championships of each of these, says Sally.
Even though she focused on sports for disabled people, Sally doesn’t feel like she has given up librarianship.
“In a different way I am still a librarian in attitude and in how I think, but I moved to a new field of disabled sports. But I think that once a librarian, always a librarian. Things must be in order, everything must be filed away properly, and you must use that information in all ways that you can.”
She currently edits various medical journals and is a consultant to the library.
“As I always say it, I like people who take something to do, and they do it from A to Z. They don’t stop halfway round about M or L, and think it’s done. A job must be done from the very beginning to the very end, and it must be done well.”

CERTS Microgrid Laboratory Test Bed - PIER Final Project Report
The objective of the CERTS Microgrid Laboratory Test Bed project was to enhance the ease of integrating small energy sources into a microgrid. The project accomplished this objective by developing and demonstrating three advanced techniques, collectively referred to as the CERTS Microgrid concept, that significantly reduce the level of custom field engineering needed to operate microgrids consisting of small generating sources. The techniques comprising the CERTS Microgrid concept are: 1) a method for effecting automatic and seamless transitions between grid-connected and islanded modes of operation; 2) an approach to electrical protection within the microgrid that does not depend on high fault currents; and 3) a method for microgrid control that achieves voltage and frequency stability under islanded conditions without requiring high-speed communications. The techniques were demonstrated at a full-scale test bed built near Columbus, Ohio and operated by American Electric Power. The testing fully confirmed earlier research that had been conducted initially through analytical simulations, then through laboratory emulations, and finally through factory acceptance testing of individual microgrid components. The islanding and resychronization method met all Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers 1547 and power quality requirements. The electrical protections system was able to distinguish between normal and faulted operation. The controls were found to be robust and under all conditions, including difficult motor starts. The results from these test are expected to lead to additional testing of enhancements to the basic techniques at the test bed to improve the business case for microgrid technologies, as well to field demonstrations involving microgrids that involve one or mroe of the CERTS Microgrid concepts.

I am a down to earth, fun, all-around creative personality - an illustrator, artist, designer, writer. I love to problem solve. My educational background is mostly in fine arts, sprinkled with some graphic design. I love history and storytelling and feel creative practices are a great tool for improving overall mental health. My favourite thing to do is ... to try new things. Things that seem too hard, or that might require me to experiment. I also love daily drawing and painting practices.
Creative Approach and Experiences OfferedI can bring a full presentation, or if you have ideas and need a creative collaborator, I'm your gal. I have experience teaching kids and adults in community contexts. I'm happy to teach all ages.
In the past, I've taught classes ranging from urban sketching to printmaking to visual journaling to sewing, and more.
For the time being, I am happy to deliver online courses, or activities outdoors (like urban sketching).
For online interaction, based on our conversation/planning, I would combine live Zoom sessions with other recorded video instruction and supplementary pdfs. For example, I have a few videos on how and why it's great to keep a daily diary, and why using illustration can be fun.
I regularly explore how making art is a way of seeing, and/ or finding. Drawing is about decoding what we see/imagine and translating it to paper. Art-making can often be about getting to know ourselves, how to be patient and perseverant. Art for mental health and critical thinking!

With prime land in the Klang Valley almost fully taken up by existing projects and new developments, property developers have no choice but to shift their attention towards the fringes.
Rawang in north of Kuala Lumpur is one such place that is now a favourite spot for residential developments. It is evidenced by the number of big players who have set foot in the area in the last few years.
Big names include Bandaraya Development Sdn Bhd (BRDB), Guocoland (M) Bhd, Gamuda Land Sdn Bhd, Glomac Bhd, Mah Sing Group Bhd, and Scientex Bhd. They are all in Rawang, taking advantage of its natural landscape.


Join Hafta-Ichi to Research the article “UK Covid live: Johnson to address parliament as MPs set to vote to approve new lockdown | Politics”
Good morning. The Commons has been recalled for today – the second recall during the Christmas/new year recess – and we will get a statement from Boris Johnson on coronavirus, and a debate and vote on the new lockdown. (It has already come into force, but votes on regulations like these ones passed by secondary legislation are often retrospective.) At the start of December 55 Conservative MPs rebelled when Johnson asked them to back the three-tier restriction system (remember that?) that he was introducing for England. But today we are expecting only minimum opposition; the Covid Recovery Group, which represents anti-lockdown or lockdown-sceptic Tory MPs, has gone mysteriously quiet; it’s remarkable what a one in 50 infection rate and record hospitalisation figures can do to change the terms of the national debate.
Here is the agenda for the day.
9.30am: The ONS publishes its weekly death figures for England and Wales.
11am: Prof Ian Young, Northern Ireland’s chief scientific adviser, holds a briefing at Stormont.
11.30am: Boris Johnson makes a statement to MPs about coronavirus.
12.15pm: The Scottish government is expected to hold its daily coronavirus briefing.
12.15pm: Dr Andrew Goodall, chief executive of NHS Wales, and Dr Frank Atherton, chief medical officer for Wales, speak at a Welsh government coronavirus briefing.
1pm: Gavin Williamson, the education secretary, makes a statement to MPs about schools in England.
1.30pm: Downing Street holds a lobby briefing.
2pm: Matt Hancock, the health secretary, opens a Commons debate on the coronavirus regulations. MPs will vote at 7pm.
Politics Live is now doubling up as the UK coronavirus live blog and, given the way the Covid crisis eclipses everything, this will continue for the foreseeable future. But we will be covering non-Covid political stories too, and when they seem more important or more interesting, they will take precedence.
Here is our global coronavirus live blog.
I try to monitor the comments below the line (BTL) but it is impossible to read them all. If you have a direct question, do include “Andrew” in it somewhere and I’m more likely to find it. I do try to answer questions, and if they are of general interest, I will post the question and reply above the line (ATL), although I can’t promise to do this for everyone.
If you want to attract my attention quickly, it is probably better to use Twitter. I’m on @AndrewSparrow.

General Information About Freedmen's Bureau Records[edit | edit source]
The Bureau of Refugees, Freedmen, and Abandoned Lands was established in the War Department in March of 1865. It was commonly called the Freedman’s Bureau and was responsible for the management and supervision of matters relating to refuges, freedmen, and abandoned lands. The Bureau assisted disenfranchised Americans, primarily African Americans, with temporal, legal and financial matters, with the intent of helping people to become self-sufficient. Matters handled included the distributing of food and clothing; operating temporary medical facilities; acquiring back pay, bounty payments, and pensions; facilitating the creation of schools, including the founding of Howard University; reuniting family members; handling marriages; and providing banking services. Banking services were provided by the establishment of the Freedman’s Saving and Trust Company, or Freedman’s Bank. The Bureau functioned as an agency of the War Department from approximately June 1865 until December 1868. In 1872, the functions of the Bureau were transferred to the Freedmen’s Branch of the Adjutant General’s Office. The Bureau assisted over one million African Americans, including many of the nearly four million emancipated slaves, which was over 25% of the population of former slaves in America.
The records identify those who sought help from the Bureau at the end of the Civil War. Most supplicants were freed slaves, some of which were military veterans. In addition, a few veterans who were not African Americans also sought help from the Bureau. Freedmen’s Bureau records are usually reliable, because the records were supplied through first-person correspondence or the recording of a marriage.

Alibaba Group is buying a leading Hong Kong newspaper as part of a plan to influence perceptions of China beyond the nation’s borders.
The China-based e-commerce colossus is reportedly spending an estimated $266 million to purchase the media assets of the SCMP Group, which includes the South China Morning Post. The paper’s impact extends beyond its print circulation of only about 100,000, coloring Western perceptions of China because of its English language format and nearness to the Chinese mainland.
“There’s very little downside. Even if we lose money, it won’t be material,” Joseph C. Tsai, Alibaba’s executive vice chairman, told The New York Times. “But the upside is quite interesting.”
Alibaba is interested in generating what it describes as fair and accurate depictions of China in the media. The impetus for the initiative comes in reaction against what Alibaba says is a biased portrayal of China by Western news outlets. Alibaba says unfair “negative” characterizations of China have a detrimental effect on how investors and others outside China view the company.
“Our business is so rooted in China, and touches so many aspects of the Chinese economy, that when people don’t really understand China and have the wrong perception of China, they also have a lot of misconceptions about Alibaba,” Tsai told The New York Times. “What’s good for China is also good for Alibaba.”
Critics of the acquisition have worried that Alibaba will compromise the paper’s editorial independence. In an open letter to the newspaper’s readers, Tsai disagreed with that notion, writing that the newspaper’s reporting would be objective and would include a “plurality of views when it comes to China coverage.”
Valued at more than $200 billion, Alibaba has expanded beyond e-commerce into industries that include finance, film, online video and social media. The fast-growing company also has acquired or invested in other media properties, including the China Business News.

Historic and artistic Heritage
- Cullera Castle and the Calvary path: the castle is situated on the top of a mountain and sits above the town and the sea. Jaime I the Conqueror built it on an old Arab fortress in the 13th century. There are only the remains of the old towers that were part of the walled complex. The Calvary path is a zigzagging via crucis with the traditional 14 stops; it starts behind the Town Market and it leads to the castle and chapel.
- Reina Mora Tower or Santa Ana Tower: (declared site of cultural interest in1949). It is an Arab tower located in the Pozo Quarter in the Calvary path. It was built in the 13th century and was part of the castle. The chapel of Santa Ana was established in the old remains of the tower in 1631.
- The Pozo Quarter: it is next to the Town Market and the old Jewish quarter. It is where you have access to the Reina Mora Tower, the Cullera Castle and Chapel.
- Marenyet Tower: this is an old, strong and circular tower that defended and controlled the Júcar riverbed. It was built in the 16th century by Felipe II as a defense from the attacks of pirates.
- Dragut Cave: in this cave one can recreate the invasions of pirates from Berber in north Africa.

|Title page from University of Pennsylvania Library|
Growing up in Massachusetts, I heard at an early age stories of Mary Rowlandson and others captured by “the Indians.” We lived quite close to a stone tower commemorating the capture & escape—thanks to a woman—of a young boy.
Google Books offers several editions of Mary Rowlandson’s Narrative. Here's a little background, from the 1828 edition: “‘In 1643,’ . . . Sholan, an Indian of mild and pacific character, was sachem of the Nashaway tribe, who lived chiefly in what are now the towns of Lancaster and Sterling. Sholan . . . recommended this valley to Thomas King as a favourable spot for a plantation. The same year King united with John Prescott, Harmon Garrett, Thomas Skidmore, Stephen Day, (the father of American typography) Mr. Symonds, and others, and purchased a tract of land ten miles in length and eight in breadth; covenanting not to molest the Indians in their hunting, fishing, or planting places.”
Relations continued peaceable for many years. Then”Shoshanim became chief sachem of the tribe . . . For some cause he felt hostile to the English,” and in 1676,* his tribe attacked & destroyed the town, and made off with Mrs. Rowlandson.
The news today was that a New England historian, Mr. Warren Rasmussen, has produced an updated, corrected edition of the narrative. That was interesting—but not as much as what he revealed about the conditions under which the original book was printed.
“The book was printed at the Cambridge Press, the only press in the United States at the time, he said, meaning it had a limited amount of type, which quickly got depleted.
“‘First, they ran out of periods, so they substituted them with colons. Then they ran out of those and they used semicolons. They also ran out of capital I’s so they used lower case ‘i’ and when they ran out of that, they used lower case ‘j.’”
Who knew? Not I, certainly. It sounds like something from a Monty Python skit.

Can you believe Michael Jackson and Whitney Houston were once lovers?
Former Bodyguard Claims Michael Jackson Never Recovered After Being Dumped By Whitney Houston
Drug-addled superstar Michael Jackson had a brief affair with doomed diva Whitney Houston that was so torrid he never got over it — and he always dreamed of marrying her, his bodyguard now says.
The songbirds came together for an “ultrasecret affair” in the bizarre but regal splendor of his Neverland ranch in California in 1991, according to martial arts master Matt Fiddes, who was Jackson’s protector and confidant for 11 years.
“Whitney practically moved into Michael’s ranch — and they had a fling like any other young couple,” according to the sensational account Fiddes provided to British tabloid The Sun.
“Michael said later he had always hoped the relationship had gone further — and I know he dreamed of marrying her.”
Fiddes says Jackson loved to cultivate his “sexless” image to add to his mystique — but actually, he insists, “He was a straight man!”
Straight, but sadly, impotent in the last decade of his life, because of his massive consumption of prescription drugs and booze, the bodyguard adds.
Fiddes, who worked for Jackson from 1998 until his tragic death in 2009, said the pop icon remained haunted for the rest of his life by his impassioned romance with Houston, who was 28 when she fell into his arms, five years his junior.
“They met because they were two of the biggest recording artists on the planet and mixing in the same circles,” he said. “And they instantly connected as kindred spirits because they understood each other’s massive fame.”
The affair lasted only two weeks, and to Jackson’s horror, she broke it off, and in 1992, married misbehaving R&B singer Bobby Brown.
Fiddes also regaled The Sun with troubling revelations that could transform the world’s view of Jackson if verified:
He was an anti-Semitic Nazi sympathizer. One of his many pill-prescribing doctors was an alleged neo-Nazi who sold Jackson on his poisonous bilge.
But Fiddes says Jackson dumped the doctor and was psychiatrically “reprogrammed” so he would no longer “think anti-Semitic thoughts.”
Jackson’s delusions had conquered his ability to reason. Even as his body was ravaged with needle marks and puncture holes from his prodigious drug intake, he would insist they were merely “spider bites.”
Fiddes also claims MJ was obsessed with his baldness. It shamed him so much that he devoted an entire room in Neverland to his collection of hundreds of wigs.
This bodyguard sounds even more delusional than MJ riiiiight?

There is a Sanskrit word, lila (leela), that means divine play. Stephen Nachmanovitch describes it as Love! Also the "play of creation, destruction, and re-creation, the folding and unfolding of the cosmos." It is a play that is "free and deep", "the play of God", the PLAY OF OUR SOULS!
Stephen Nachmanovitch on Lila
"There is an old Sanskrit word, lila (leela), which means play. Richer than our word [in English], it means divine play, the play of creation, destruction, and re-creation, the folding and unfolding of the cosmos. Lîla, free and deep, is both the delight and enjoyment of this moment and the play of God. It also means love.
Lîla may be the simplest thing there is—spontaneous, childish, disarming. But as we grow and experience the complexities of life, it may also be the most difficult and hard-won achievement imaginable, and its coming to fruition is a kind of homecoming to our true selves.
~Stephen Nachmanovitch, Free Play

The future of the brewer and pub company Jennings could be decided by beer enthusiasts, after the Campaign for Real Ale (Camra) urged the firm's shareholders to reject a proposed £45.8m takeover by the brewer Wolverhampton & Dudley (W&DB).
Camra feared that W&DB could close Jennings' Cockermouth brewery in Cumbria, despite W&DB's assurance that it would keep brewing there.
Camra's chief executive Mike Benner said: "I think the only way to guarantee the future of the brewery is to defend its independence as a vertically integrated company." He doubted W&DB's ability to achieve its aim of an annual £2m of savings at Jennings, especially as the firm has had three years of "double digit percentage growth in pre-tax profits"
Camra owns 1.25% of Jennings' shares and has called on other shareholders to vote against the takeover, which the Jennings board had recommended. W&DB said that it had already received conditional acceptances from holders of nearly 27% of the shares.
W&DB has 537 managed pubs and 1,610 let to tenants or leased. Its WDB Brands brewing arm makes Marston's Pedigree, Banks's and Mansfield beers. Jennings has 128 pubs in the north and the Cockermouth brewery supplies the on and the off trade.

The Kaduna State Police Command declared that it's officers have rescued 48 kidnapped Kano-bound traders at Udawa village in Chikun Local Government Area of the state.
Earlier on Wednesday, kidnappers had abducted over 70 Kano bound traders and the Kaduna State Police Public Relations Officer, ASP Mohammad Jalige, Thursday, said the escort team that accompanied the traders actually reinforced and engaged the kidnappers as they've recovered 48 of the victims.
He added that the bandits were attacked and ran with bullets wound as the police officers overpowered them.
His statements read, “On the 22nd of December, 2021, a team of Policemen escorting a convoy of traders from Udawa village, Kano, to Kaduna came under gunshots attack by bandits which led to the kidnap of 78.
“However, the escort team reinforced themselves and engaged the bandits in a tactical pursuit in order not to harm the victims. This forced the bandits to retreat, abandoning the victims and ran with gunshot wounds."
“The operatives succeeded in rescuing 48 people to safety, as they were subsequently escorted to their destination safely."

Budget 2017-18 Update
We will require more time to evaluate, however our preliminary analysis indicates that the 2017-18 budget for Chinook School Division is worse than we initially thought. The Board has been planning for a few months to accommodate cuts in funding. Unfortunately, the actual cut in funding is approximately $3.3M more than we anticipated and we now have to go back, review and do some further planning.
Chinook received an overall reduction in operational funding of $5.94M (7.3% less)
- There will be a significant decrease in several specific areas:
- Governance budget has been reduced by 35.6%
- Supports for Learning reduced by 24%
- Instructional Resources reduced by 12%
- Transportation reduced by 9%
- Plant Operation and Maintenance reduced by 4.3%
- The Chinook Board will continue to work collaboratively with SCCs, communities and the Ministry as we try to mitigate the impact this will have on students in the classroom
We are still analyzing and unpacking the details of individual budget lines at this point. We will know more about the full impact once we do a much deeper review.
Media Release March 22, 2017
On March 22, the 2017-2018 provincial budget was announced in the legislature with a 1.2% decrease in operating funds for the Education sector. It will take a few days to analyze Chinook School Division’s specific allotment, however this decrease falls within the parameters anticipated by the Board and adjustments will need to be made.
“As the provincial government has indicated, Saskatchewan is going through some difficult economic times and all areas of the public sector are being asked to tighten up to get us through this period,” said Board Chair Larry Caswell, “This budget brings forth significant changes to the education sector and the school divisions are now faced with a challenge. We intend to keep student success as top priority and remain focused on ensuring our students receive the best education and supports possible.”
Director of Education Liam Choo-Foo, indicated that Chinook will do everything they can to minimize any direct impact on students and schools, “There is a recognition that with fewer resources, we will not be able to operate in the same way as in the past. However, our Board is committed to making the necessary personnel adjustments by attrition where possible and also keeping any restructuring as far away from the classroom as we can,” said Choo-Foo.
As the Board works to finalize their budget for 2017-18, they will continue to align the Division strategic plan with the Education sector plan. Chinook is committed to Literacy and will focus on student engagement as they work to improve graduation rates and attendance.

Amber Rose is positively glowing!
The pregnant model and mom-to-be showed off her growing baby bump (and hot-pink underwear!) in a twitpic posted Monday. "Good morning Rosebuds & Rosestuds Our lil wizbud is growing so fast ;-)" she wrote.
Amber Rose dresses up her baby bump...in lace!
Amber, who previously dated Kanye West, and fiancé Wiz Khalifa revealed at the MTV Video Music Awards they do know their child's gender, but they're choosing to keep it a secret. Fair enough!
This will be the first child for Amber and Wiz. We wish them the best.

He attracts attention. He attracts criticism.
And you can bet, despite the negative remarks, he's enjoying every second.
Why? Because it means he's getting under someone's skin. It means his program is a threat. It means he's winning.
``I've never been the most popular coach in any league I've been in,'' Pearl said.
And he wants it to stay that way.
Asked why he's not always well liked by his coaching colleagues, Pearl says: ``I can't really say. I'd hope it's because of my record.''
Pearl pointed out that in his 14 years as a head coach, he has won or finished within two games of first place all 14 years.
``That doesn't make you the most popular guy in the conference,'' Pearl said. ``The guys who are popular are the guys you can beat.
``I want to be popular with our fans. But if we don't start winning some games, I'm going to all the sudden start to become more popular in the conference, and I'm not interested in that.''
No, Pearl would rather be disliked by other league coaches. He'd rather win games. He'd rather be a threat.
Think about it. When Wade Houston was Tennessee's coach, he was popular in the SEC. Kentucky's Rick Pitino said it was unfair that the Vols fired Houston and suggested he'd love to have Houston on his staff.
Guess what? Pitino never hired Houston.
A few years ago, Tennessee had another coach who wasn't well liked in the SEC. Ray Mears was a promoter who coined the phrase Big Orange Country and who used unicycles and orange blazers to bring attention to his program.
Tennessee hasn't had a promoter like Mears until Pearl.
And Tennessee hasn't had a winner like Mears, unless it becomes Pearl.
It's too early to crown Pearl as UT's best coach since Mears. Remember, Don DeVoe averaged over 20 wins in his first seven seasons, captured the 1979 SEC Tournament and made five straight NCAA Tournaments.
But Pearl is on his way to building an impressive resume at Tennessee. Last year, he won the SEC East Division over eventual champion Florida and garnered a No. 2 seed in the NCAA Tournament.
A win against talented but underachieving LSU on Tuesday night at Thompson-Boling Arena would push UT's record to 16-8, 4-5 in the SEC. By Pearls' count, the Vols could get in the NCAA Tournament with a 7-9 SEC record.
Winning 20 games and going 8-8 in the conference could guarantee a bid – perhaps as high as a No. 8 seed.
Pearl was asked specifically about Brady and Stallings making critical off-the-cuff remarks about him.
``Tennessee basketball is relevant now,'' Pearl said. ``It's a wonderful thing. I appreciate the support and I appreciate the fact it matters. Tennessee matters again. It's mattered before.
``We're in the race to make the NCAA Tournament. That hasn't always been the case in the recent past. It was last year and it is again this year, even with this young basketball team.
``You can see the rest of the SEC has taken notice. We've made progress in the stands (attendance). We've made progress on the court. We've made progress in the RPI and strength of schedule and with facility upgrades.''
How can you measure the progress?
By negative comments made about Pearl by opposing SEC coaches.
When that stops, Pearl will worry. It would mean Tennessee basketball won't matter any more.

It also looks like the metal holding bracket will make it difficult to remove the actual sensor. Just takes some wiggling and moderate coercion. Bryce truly takes care of his customers. Information given in this video does not guarantee the desired outcome. See our tech article on jacking up your vehicle.
A hydraulic pump, powered by the engine accessory belt, forces steering fluid into hoses leading to pistons in the steering rack. I had my indie shop try the reset while they were doing some other unrelated work and the lights went out but came back on again. Press out screw 2 with a suitable tool. To my mind if a part fault or failure occurs, that is a safety issue, a recall issue, not a warranty issue and the carmaker should fix and report it. Complete shipping and return policy information can be found in our. I sprayed it on the outside and around the sensor and turn the steering to work in the liquid.

Could have a fault related to clockspring portion, not the actual steering angle portion. It's late and it's 8 degrees outside, so I didn't open the garage and start the car yet to see if the lights are off. This week, the 2011 X3 joins the steering-related recall party, but for a faulty steering position sensor. I did have the codes read and the dealer said it was the steering angle sensor. The item must be new and in its original manufacturer packaging to be eligible for a cash refund.
I am going to douse it with contact cleaner and hope for the best. Since 2000, Centric Parts has supplied the automotive aftermarket with high-quality replacement brake parts. However getting the upper and lower steering columns lined up was almost impossible. This can cause stiff, groaning or creaking steering. I can't see how you could accomplish much without doing so. Car drives differently after a front end alignment Today's steering angle sensors are attached to multiple points within the steering system. Consequence: Should the system fail, in the event of a crash, the front passenger air bag would be deactivated, increasing the risk of personal injury.
I finally got it encoded! Do you have to unbolt the plate from the floor, and is it under there. Correction: Bmw will notify owners, and dealers will replace the front passenger seat occupant detection mat, free of charge. But angle sensors are known to go. If there is anything you cannot find in our catalog please and our knowledgeable customer service team will help you locate the part you need, fast. So when I went to put everything back together, the lower steering column pretty much fell off. We're here to help with whateveve questions or concerns. A short couple of weeks later my battery died and I had to replace it.
The vehicle had not been repaired. Without power steering assist, the vehicle can become difficult to control, potentially resulting in an accident. In order to perform its internal calculations, the steering angle sensor requires model-specific data which has to be loaded onto it by means of coding. As far as eccentric shaft sensor, it's prob oil leaking thru the sensor. They just made a lifetime customer and friend! You should be able to clean it and may not even need to reprogram it. If they bind or feel stiff in any position, replace the shaft.
Never had the lights come on again. Notes: Bmw is extending the warranty to 10 years from first registration without any mileage limit to the following vehicles:my 2006 6-series, 3-series standard seat , my 2004-2005 z4, my 2004-2006 7-series, my 2006 x5, and my 2004-2006 5-series comfort seat. The shaft has two universal joints and is designed to collapse in the event of a crash. When leaving a comment, please leave your vehicle information. Gas mileage has improved, performance is much better and it Starts every time now.
I used Progman, but the programming version of Rheingold will work also. Raise and support front of vehicle on jack stands. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I haven't done it but the dealer wanted to replace it when I had the same lights on after a battery replacement. Recycle parts, packaging and fluids when possible. I would never take it to the dealer again for anything.
Protect your eyes, hands and body from fluids, dust and debris while working on your vehicle. The steering shaft connects the steering wheel to the power steering rack. I haven't done it but the dealer wanted to replace it when I had the same lights on after a battery replacement. Just want to ensure I get it in there correctly.

I picked up my car from the dealer and noticed that the turbos on my vehicle were not spooling up at all, no power what's so ever. Clearly on another level of diagnostics and programming! Still need the battery chargers running. Noted below are a few of the common symptoms of a damaged, bad or failing steering angle sensor. Since 1918, Dorman Products has supplied the automotive aftermarket with high-quality replacement parts, hardware and fasteners. Remove plug connection for steering angle sensor 4 from holder, unlock and disconnect. Figure 1 The steering shaft red arrow connects the steering wheel to the power steering rack.
