For over 40 years our team here at FDB Panel Fittings have been market leaders in providing a specialist service for the supply of panel and electrical enclosure hardware – locks, hinges, handles, enclosure gasketing, cable management and accessories. So we are pleased to announce that this high-quality service package now includes the expanding DIRAK hardware range for specialist metal/plastic fabricators, including panel builders and OEMs.
As a specialist distributor, this supply process continuously focuses on our ability to provide a friendly personal service based on detailed product knowledge and experience with an extensive product range. This encompasses everything from cable management support systems to cabinet hinges, enclosure gasketing and locking systems, with many stainless steel variants and anti-vandal handle designs. Extensive UK stock-holding means we expect to deliver most items direct from our warehouse.
Explains Gary Miles – our MD “as the Panel Fittings division of FDB Electrical Ltd – with a background in the specialist panel building industry – we naturally grew our business together with panel builders serving the controls industry – but this soon developed into a wider market place so that we are equally at home with the sourcing and supply of the more specialist products for a huge variety of industrial and defence related applications. A major part of that growth has involved ever closer relationships with manufacturers like DIRAK who ensure that we can provide our customers with the best and latest hardware technology.”
The FDB ethos is simple “quality products coupled with quality service” and has been the cornerstone of our success over very many years – which is a perfect match for DIRAK who focus on the individual application requirements of specific industrial sectors, in order to develop the perfect solution. This includes hinging and latching solutions with the best materials, superior design and functionality which meet the requirements of the application environment.
For example, DIRAK have created specially designed, high-quality polished stainless-steel products to meet the strict hygienic standards of the food processing industry, and solutions for the transportation industry/sector which meet the vibration resistance and fire protection requirements.

Talk: Private Writing for Public Impact
When we talk about being an effective communicator, we’re talking about how we share our ideas with other people. But our success in communicating our vision depends upon how skilled we are at communicating with ourselves. Camille will share how her private writing supports the work she produces for publication, and how anyone can use a private writing practice to deal with creative blocks and release unproductive thought patterns, find joy and contentment in their work (regardless of external circumstances!), and figure out precisely how they want to grow—professionally and personally. Whether you’re an aspiring author, a working artist, or just want to learn how to share your ideas more effectively in the workplace, a private writing practice will deepen the meaning and impact of your work and your connection with everyone it touches. This presentation builds upon Camille’s forthcoming book on ego and creativity, and #WhatIMake Conference participants will have the opportunity to try out fun and specific strategies and exercises well in advance of the book’s publication.
In the workshop section, you’ll use the mind mapping technique paired with tailored writing prompts to exercise your intuition and create your own epiphany.
Buy tickets to the #WhatIMake Conference to hear Camille and our other talented speakers!

Within less than an hour’s drive of Milwaukee — and, for some, maybe even on your work-commute route — there are plenty of apple orchards with pick-your-own options. Be sure to snap up a jug of just-pressed apple cider or decadent treats like apple donuts, which most orchards sell.
Because each year’s harvest schedule can vary, it’s a good idea to call the orchards before hopping in the car. Weather conditions can make an orchard unsafe for picking, too, so that’s another reason to phone first. And, as temping as it might be, orchard owners advise you to leave your dog at home, to help keep the orchards clean.
Barthel Fruit Farm
12246 N. Farmdale Road, Mequon
This year-round fruit farm in the North Shore shifts from picking strawberries during the early summer months to apples in late August. This year, according to the farm’s website, picking starts in early September. Check the “Now Picking” tab at the top of the farm’s website for up-to-date info. Barthel has been in business for nearly 180 years.
4607 S. 124th St., New Berlin
Despite not having a website, Patterson Orchards keeps an active Facebook page. Just this week, the farm posted bags of just-picked Ginger Golds, Paulareds and Zestars. Apple picking started in mid-August this year. Gallons of pressed-apple cider are sold at the farm, too.
Rim’s Edge Orchard
W220N10550 Amy Belle Rd., Colgate
Opening for the season this Friday, Rim’s Edge Orchard grows 20-some apple varieties. During September and October, the store is open daily, with pick-your-own dates and times posted on its website. Sweet-tooths, take note: caramel apples are also sold at the store (along with apple cider).
Awe’s Apple Orchard
8081 S. Lovers Lane Rd., Franklin
Located only 17 miles from downtown Milwaukee, Awe’s Apple Orchard maintains a Facebook page to keep customers aware of what’s ripe (including Honeycrisp apples)—and when. Apple donuts and individual-sized containers of apple juice are also sold at the orchard.
Appleland Farm Market
4177 Highway 57, Fredonia
The first full weekend for apple picking this fall at Appleland Farm Market is Sept. 9-10 this year, with info updated on the orchard’s website. So far, Ginger Gold and Zestar apples will be ripe and available for picking. Other varieties grown at the farm include Honeycrisp, McIntosh, Cortland and Gala.
Harvest Time Orchards
36116 128th St., Twin Lakes
While you-pick info on the Harvest Time Orchards website is up to date, orchard staff suggest monitoring the Facebook page. The season for picking started in August, (with Zestar apples already ripe) and is open every Friday through Monday this fall from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. If you like to cook with apples or pull together a meat-and-cheese plate with sliced apples, then drop by the store for smoked meats and a really great cheese selection. Don’t leave without visiting the Donut Shop.

duplex filter f311
The Duplex Filter F311 is a multi-purpose filter for liquid media. It is characterized by continuous operation during the cleaning phase as well as a high degree of filtration down to very low microns. As a special feature, the maintenance and strainer access can be optimized by choosing different filter cover solutions.
The degree of contamination can be optionally monitored with various differential pressure indicators. Further options, for example magnetic inserts or the sacrificial anode enable an application-specific customization.
The Duplex Filter consists of two single filters which are connected via a flanged switch-over device (A300) and can be operated alternately or in parallel. The filter size DN65 has an integrated switch-over device. The standard filter design consists of a cast housing and a cover which is fixed either with a clam bloc, lever lock or with stud bolts and nuts. Venting devices in the covers and draining devices in the housing are included in the scope of supply.
The filter is equipped with a basket or ring-type strainer. The medium to be filtered flows through the strainer from the inside to the outside. The strainer is made out of a perforated plate which can be covered optionally with mesh in different mesh sizes. A rotary vane is used to switch between the filters which ensures an easy changeover even for the larger filter sizes. In case the filter is installed on the suction side, the rotary vane shall be equipped with a lock.
Further options and customer specific solutions are available upon request.

We report a method for extracting the birefringence properties of biological samples with micrometer-scale resolution in three dimensions, using a new form of polarization-sensitive optical coherence tomography. The method measures net retardance, net fast axis, and total reflectivity as a function of depth into the sample. Polarization sensing is accomplished by illumination of the sample with at least three separate polarization states during consecutive acquisitions of the same pixel, A scan, or B scan. The method can be implemented by use of non-polarization-maintaining fiber and a single detector. In a calibration test of the system, net retardance was measured with an average error of 7.5° (standard deviation 2.2°) over the retardance range 0° to 180°, and a fast axis with average error of 4.8° over the range 0° to 180°.

Disco is not dead.
Two years after making a (very brief) comeback in The Martian, disco is having another moment in the new drama Film Stars Don’t Die in Liverpool. Set in the late ’70s and early ’80s, the film traces the real-life relationship between fading black-and-white film star Gloria Grahame (Annette Bening) and much younger British actor Peter Turner (Jamie Bell).
In their music-fueled meet-cute, Grahame invites Turner into her apartment and the pair immediately bond — and boogie down — to the sounds of a Taste of Honey’s 1978 disco hit “Boogie Oogie Oogie.” (Watch the clip exclusively above.)
Bening and Bell told Yahoo Entertainment that while they were offered the services of a choreographer, they decided to take a more freestyle approach to the scene.
“We had somebody that could’ve helped us, and we were just like, ‘No, let’s do it with our cameraman,'” Bening said. “[A dance expert did] show us a few moves, like, ‘You might wanna try that or that.’ And that was helpful. But we basically just kind of winged it, and it was so fun.”
As Bell explained, “Annette thought it was more important that there’s an awkwardness about it and it’s not polished and it’s people trying to impress other people.”
Bell, who got his big-screen start busting entirely different types of moves in 2000’s Billy Elliott, found some last-minute inspiration from another cinematic disco sensation. He watched John Travolta in Saturday Night Fever in his trailer right before they filmed the sequence. “I suddenly realized, ‘S***, I don’t know how to disco-dance. I’ve never disco-danced in my life. I love disco music, but f***, I’ve never done anything like that before. So I was very desperately doing stuff in the mirror and desperately trying.”
The pair did only three takes of the scene — and both agreed it was welcome respite from some of the film’s heavier subject matter. “I circled that scene in the schedule, and I was like, if we can just get to the disco dancing, we’ll be able to get to the other side,” Bell said. “It was so nice to just have a scene where the music is going and the crew were all laughing and clapping.”
Said Bening: “I could’ve kept doing it all day. Then we can avoid those tougher scenes. But it was fun. … I would’ve liked to have done it more.”
Film Stars Don’t Die in Liverpool opens Dec. 29.

The major legislation governing labor protection law in Thailand is the Labor Protection Act (the “LPA”). The LPA prescribes labor protection standards applicable to both employers and employees working in Thailand. However, the LPA does not apply to Government and State Enterprise employees.
The LPA prescribes the minimum rights to which employees’ working in Thailand are entitled in such areas as:
(a) Working hours, overtime hours, working days, leave;
(b) Wage, overtime pay, holiday pay;
(d) Sick leave;
(e) Employee welfare; and
(f) Termination of employment.
Additionally, provisions relating to protection of female and children are also contained in the LPA — for example, employers are required to treat male and female employees equally; employers and their agents must not commit sexual harassment against employees who are female or children; and pregnant female employees are entitled to maternity leave for a period of time with salary payment.
Note: any employer who violates or fails to comply with the LPA may be punished according to the level of his or her offence with a fine of Thai Baht 5,000 to Thai Baht 200,000, or imprisonment of up to one year, or both.
In our following series of articles we will highlight sections of the LPA and of which every employer in Thailand should be aware and then survey additional provisions of the law relevant to both employers and employees in Thailand.

Cooling air exit
"I hardly have a problem but am trying to operate with the CHT not more than 400F in the climb. At about about 135/140mph near gross I can make about 1400fpm with everything forward. (160hp O-320 MT 2blade c/s prop, P-mags.) After around 3000' I then have to change something or I break my self imposed 400F CHT limit. I would however like to be able to climb with everything forward to the stratosphere, or at least 10000'.
One solution is to get the speed above 150mph which of course cuts the climb rate. Another is to reduce to around 25 square and keep the same speed. The second is the more effective because I suspect the P-mags retard a little which more than compensates for the reduced fuel flow.
I dont have an oil temp problem. In fact next time the top cowl is off I will reduce the air flow to the oil cooler to get the oil temp up a bit leaving more air for the CHT.
I am wondering if I should cut some of the bottom cowl away. It is clear to me that with the 4-pipe exhaust there is less air outlet area than inlet area. This may well be the real issue but once its cut its gone for ever."
I had a number of interesting replies, though no one was convinced cutting the cowl was the solution, although several agreed the outlet should be larger than the inlet.
My idea is to cut straight across from the left hand pair of pipes until it meets the slightly deeper cut on the RHS.

My Skytec starter has problems..... test flying has stopped.
The engine is an O-320 from Aerosport Power. Its a Skytec LS starter with dual P-mag ignitions, a two blade MT prop, and an Odyssey battery. Until now every start has been very easy and immediate with no sign of a problem.
It is wired as Skytec suggest here. This, plus the dual P-mags, I would have thought would protect it from any kickback problems, though I do not in fact think that was the cause.
All the teeth are on the flywheel, but as you can possibly see in the last two pictures there is some damage to the corners.
It has been hard to get things moving this having happened late on a Friday in the UK. I am trying to be patient and not think too badly with the suppliers involved.
The primary questions that run through my head are:
1) Why did this happen (after just 6 hours - perhaps 20 starts.)?
2) Why will a replacement unit be any better?
3) Will Aerosport Power and Skytec get me back in the air quickly or slowly?
Postscript - 8th July '08
Well Aerosport Power sure came through on this one. On the 7th thy had a Skytec NL model and toothed ring shipped, and as I write I see FedEx have just cleared it through Stansted Airport. Soon be here.

Heater, carb heat and pressure sensors.
Heater - I decided a long while ago to take the cabin heat off the oil cooler rather than an exhaust muff. I am in the UK which is a temperate climate, so I do not need Alaskan quantities of heat, to keep warm. (As I write this it is snowing!) Those that do it this way usually report plenty of heat, though there are plenty of folk out there who will argue it is a really bad idea. To me the pluses are a much reduced problem of carbon monoxide, fewer parts/less weight, and those that do it this way report a much nicer, less 'scorched ', quality of air in the cabin. What is the downside? Very little as far as I can see. Worst case I can always buy an exhaust muff and hook it up. I had to make up a shroud to gather the air after it has been through the cooler which exercised my fiberglass skills. It's not pretty but it is reasonable on the inside, where it matters. People will reasonably comment that the efficiency of the cooler will drop dramatically. That is certainly true, but while I don't live in Alaska I don't live in Arizona either. My Supercub with an O-320 and the same cooler struggles to keep warm, and that only travels at 100mph. For break in, I will disconnect the cabin heat system, and seal it up, and remove the collector, since clearly at that stage the engine will be generating more than normal heat. If all else fails I will click the switch which turns on the Mercedes Benz seat heater that I will be sitting on.
Carb Heat - This is now all connected up. Its a tight fit in a -4.
As each additional system is installed, despite my utmost efforts to think ahead and plan what else has to be added, the systems maximise their efforts to claim the same space. A good example was the screw on the heat box in the picture above. Its nut was claiming the same space as the tail of the bolt on the gear leg. If I had known this when I was putting the gear leg on I could have packed the head out with two more washers. I contemplated pulling it out in situ, but ended up by filing some of the tail off. To bolt the heat valve on, 8 #6 nuts and bolts still took 4 hours!
Pressure Sensors - FP, OP, MP have all found a home in front of the battery on top of the step. They are accessible if they ever need replacement and the hose runs are quite reasonable. I took advice from VANS as to which hoses to buy for a -4 and they certainly mostly erred on the long side. Better than short I guess.
There has been a little discussion about the oil tube/ dipstick for -4 on Vansairforce recently. Many people end up with one that is too long. Aerosport Power knew of the issue. This is what they supplied to me. If you cross their palm with silver I am sure they will sell you one.
Postscript - 30/7/08 - Carb Heat
It turns out that the carb heat muff works well as you can see from the graph below.
After an initial 2000'climb from 300'ASL, the engine settles down at about 23 square, and the engine leaned. The OAT is around 58F, and the carb temperature due to the venturi and vapourisation of the fuel, running at about 51F. On pulling full carb heat the temperature rises to around 63F. It looks as though if I had left it on a little longer, I would have had a slightly higher gain since the gradient of the curve is not yet flat. I do this 3 times. At around 13:05, I reduce power and again pull the carb heat. This results in a much larger gain, which is in fact when you really want it. This time with the engine developing little power for the descent, it goes more than 15F above the ambient temperature.

Oil cooler, oil lines and control cables.
With the c/s unit for the prop it is becoming very crowded back here.
The oil lines to the cooler are not yet finalised but will almost certainly end up like this. It looks like I will need a new 90 degree fitting to get the oil from the engine to the cooler safely on its way. I have seen other folk cut into the prop governor bracket, but this does not make sense to me when it could come straight up.
You can see the control cable runs. The prop cable does a 270 degree turn. This was not to use up length but to ensure the tightness of the turn did not appear excessive.
So far I have managed to preserve some space around the oil filter. I just about know where everything goes and this will remain with room to access it when it needs replacing.

Throttle and Mixture linkage.
The mixture was much simpler in that it requires only about 95% of the quadrant travel to give full range here.
I am a bit concerned about the tightness of the bend in the mixture cable, though it runs quite freely.

Baffles, exhaust stays, fuel and carb heat.
The front baffles wont go on until I have painted them to match the front exterior of the cowl, since they are quite visible from the front.
The exhaust stays turned out to be easy to make and adjust for length. At the moment they only have one large washer at each end, but when I have more large washers I will run another bolt through before priming them.
Here is a picture of the stay on the LHS.
In this picture you can see where the fuel exits the fuselage. From here it goes directly to the mechanical pump. The rest of the fuel system is inside the fuselage and you can see it here.
With so little of the fuel system forward of the firewall I am hoping that there is no tendancy for vaporisation in hot weather. I think I am thinking about the day when I can find no 100LL to get home.
I had some difficulty deciding how to mount the duct that brings carb heat down from the exhaust. In the end I have mounted it slightly high. The intent is that there will be some flow through the system when the flap is closed. When the engine is sucking heated air I think plenty will flow through the duct though there will be some leakage at the bottom.

Oil Cooler location

Baffles and prop governor oil line.
The part for the rear wall on the LHS of the aircraft reflects the cowl shape of the RV4, but the RHS part has way too much material. I wonder if VANS shipped me the wrong part or if they always do this.
Routing the oil line over the top of the engine appears to be a vast improvement to going underneath. The path is probably slightly shorter, and it is not competing with the electrics for space along the top of the sump. If you do decide to do it this way you will need a 45 degree fitting on the front of the engine.
One issue I am pondering is how to stop the oil line from chafing where it passes through the rear baffle wall. There is no plastic bushing in the VANS catalogue that is big enough.
One of the desiccation plugs started to turn a little pink. I think it must be on the cylinder with the open valve. I took all the plugs out of the engine and regenerated the crystals. They are all a nice shade of mauve once again.
Saturday, December 08, 2007
Baffled by the baffles.
1) Why is the 'normal' route for the c/s oil line from the fitting just to the right of the two clecos, underneath the engine? It would be much simpler to use a 45 degree fitting and go over the top of the push rod tubes, and then through the rear baffle wall. I doubt it is any longer. Is this ever done? I can find no pictures of it done that way.
2) The baffle floor on #1 will slope down at nearly 45 degrees. I can see nothing unusual about my installation. Are all the -4 like this? Is it because of the c/s prop? I don't think I cut off much of the cowl at the back.
Postscript - 11th December
1) Aerosport Power, the supplier of the engine, say there is absolutely no reason not to go over the top.
2) D-EXTL, a very well built German RV4 has a very similar steep slope to the baffle in front of #1. So onwards, and one day upwards.

Fuel Pump fittings.
Rotation of the fitting is blocked by the constant speed oil pressure unit. This leaves me in something of a quandary as to which unit is easier to remove in order to replace the fitting.
If I take the fuel pump off by undoing the two Allen Key studs, will the unit in fact be removable? Remember on a -4 there is almost no room between the fuel overflow takeoff on the back of the pump and the firewall, as you can see in the picture. With the studs removed does it slide off backwards or could it rotate downwards?
The alternative is to remove the entire constant speed unit. Yes, only 4 nuts, but some are very hard to get to, at least with my fat spanners and the poor access behind the engine.
Postscript 1/12/07 - Today I took the constant speed unit off having been advised the fuel pump was not going to be easy. To get the c/s unit off I had to take both mags off. It was clearly the right way to do the job, I had the 90 degree fitting exchanged for a 45, and everything was back together in 80 minutes.

Exhaust - the fix!
"I have never seen the pipes this close to the tunnel. You can adjust the pipes however. They are new and very flexible. Take hold of the #1 and pull it towards the center. Give it a good push. No you cannot break it with just your amount of force applied. Then re align the #3 to it. Yes you can trim the extensions. We leave them long on purpose as some builder prefer them that way. My preference is to trim about 1.5 inches off the end. "
I spent a few minutes on it today and believe this will work. (Larry has other plans if not.) I will have some time tomorrow and when it is sorted will post some more pictures. It is great to have a supplier who is committed to having a happy customer. Larry clearly is.
Postscript 8th Dec - I wrestled with the pipes for a long morning and made a considerable improvement. Took some photographs and sent to Larry. His immediate response was that he would make me a new pipe for #1. How is that for good service. It was here in the UK 10 days later and fits a dream.

If you look at the top picture you will see that the pipes are offset to the left (RHS of aircraft). This may well be because they do not allow for the fact that the engine is offset. The problem that arises is #3 is very close to the F-451 fairing. Perhaps 5/16". The #1 pipe, the inner one is about 1/16" from the sump if that.
As you can see pipes #2 and #4 do not have this problem.
Nothing to complain about here.
But this seems really tight.
I wonder if I need the tails as long. If I took about 1.5" off the pipe, so the bent tail moved forward, the problem would reduce.
Hopefully other builders have been here, otherwise I will have to track down Vetterman.
I must say I would prefer more symetry,
but more importantly I am concerned they could hit the fuse when the engine stops/starts etc.

I have found it hard to find picture of e/p-mags bolted to engines, so I thought I would put a couple here. If you don't know what they are, go to this link. http://emagair.com/Index.htm
This picture shows the right p-mag. The first thing to understand is that unlike a conventional mag.., you can bolt it on rotated into any position you choose. The electronics takes care of the alignment.
In this second picture, you can see the green connector block, the manifold pressure sensor, currently covered by a shiny black cap, and just to the right of it, a LED, which is used in setup. (If it is hard to see double click the pictures, you will get a better view.)
In the third picture below, you can see the left hand p-mag. It is rotated nearly 180 degrees. I would like it further around, but the casing of the mag., interferes with one of the oil paths to the cooler. The slight disadvantage of it in this position, is the LED is somewhat hidden underneath, but no big problem.
In the fourth picture, below, you are looking down from above. As well as the major performance advantages of P-mags., and the weight saving, you can see that in the constrained area in front of the firewall of an RV4, there is a significant space saving.
(In case it confuses anyone, the control cable and hose across the bottom of the picture are just parked there while I work on the plane. This is NOT a final location.)

Fuel Hose Problem
Saturday, August 18, 2007
Friday, July 13, 2007
Aerosport were kind enough to install a special fuel pump overflow fitting. Without it you might well have contact between the fitting and where the firewall sticks out. You might want to remember this when you order an engine if you are building a -4.
The engine as it came from Aerosport looks superb, though of course it will be a while before I know how it is in action.
One thing that is worth mentioning. I have the VS, HS and rudder plus tail wheel on the back end. It is now very light and can easily be lifted in one hand. When I next remove say the rudder I will have to be very careful it does not tip forward.

O-320-D1A arrived today
I thought a couple of pictures might be useful if you have never bought an engine before, and wondered how it is shipped.
It will be quite a while before it is started, but I have to say it is beautifully presented, as you can (just about) see from the attached pictures. It is inhibited so I wont open the bag for now.
It has arrived with a good set of records from its test run, and docs for the ancillaries that are included.
Right now it comprises:
- Superior Cylinders
- Sky-Tec Light Weight Starter
- Fuel Pump
- Primer System
- RV4 Fuel pump and dipstick mod.
- Denso 40 Amp Internally Regulated Alternator
I will probably go with the e-mag / p-mag ignition, but thought I would leave it for now, in case there are more minor mods to their system, or software updates, by the time I need them.
I wasn't planning to put a primer on it, just use the throttle pump, but now it is here I might just get seduced into installing it. What I have against it is the weight thing.
[Note added 7 Jan '07. Aerosport Power advised me "The plastic wrap should be removed as condensation can accumulate under the plastic."


- Cavernous boot
- Lever rear-seat folding system
- Comfortable ride
- Economical diesel
- Poor rear visibility
- Pricey when compared with rivals
- Uninspiring driving experience
The Honda Civic has been around for a very long time: the first generation was launched in 1972 and since then there have been all manner of iterations that Honda has pet names for. The 1983 model is known as the 'Wonder Civic', and one wonders why, and then there's the 1995 'Miracle Civic' that prompts more vigorous head scratching.
Thankfully, by the time you get to the 'Revolution Civic' launched in 2006 there's some justification because it really did represent a major departure from the previous, rather dull versions. It had triangular exhaust pipes, out-there styling and a rather annoying rear spoiler that spoiled the view out of the back, but it was undoubtedly unconventional.
More subdued styling
So now there's the ninth generation Civic that's not quite so radical. At first glance not that much has changed. Yes, it's still got a spoiler that serves to ruin the rear view, but Honda tells us that under the spoilered skin this is, in fact, a revolution that'll take the Civic into the big league.
Excellent interior space
One of the Civic’s strong points is practicality. The boot is far bigger than its competitors’ and there’s loads of room inside thanks to what Honda calls ‘Magic Seats’. These can fold in a clever range of combinations, freeing up plenty of space for transporting large items.
The Civic has been awarded a five-star EuroNCAP rating thanks to its plethora of safety equipment including adaptive cruise control and collision mitigation – which applies the brakes if it thinks you’re about to crash.
Two petrol and one diesel engine
There’s a choice of three engines, two petrol and one diesel, plus an older 2.2-litre diesel. Petrol options are a 1.4-litre or a 1.8-litre engine, available with either a manual or automatic gearbox.
The highly-refined 2.2-litre diesel engine was phased out leaving smaller and even more efficient 1.6-litre unit, with emissions well below the 100g/km mark for ultra-low tax costs.
Facelift in 2014 brings new styling and Sport derivative
Honda tidied up the Civic’s exterior styling in 2014 by moving the daytime running lights into a new headlamp cluster. Sleeker bumpers were added front and rear, and the spoiler was moved to tie into new LED rear lights.
Inside the Civic was given a premium uplift with new fabrics and stitching, different door trims with chrome door handles, and a control panel finished in a metallic black.
New Sport Derivative added to range
A Sport derivative was added, which uses the 1.6-litre diesel or 1.8-litre petrol engine, offering Civic Type R looks without the associated running costs.

It looks like Tesla’s Cybertruck could be one step closer to production, after a video was released showing it being tested at Tesla’s factory in Fremont, California.
The nearly seven-minute footage, shot by a drone above the facility, shows the Cybertruck driving back and forth on a track outside the factory.
The Cybertruck was also spotted on public roads near the Fremont factory.
There’s been widespread anticipation for Tesla’s electric pickup truck initially announced in 2019. Tesla originally expected production to begin in 2021, then pushed it to 2022 before announcing it would be this year.
Tesla has confirmed the Cybertruck will be built at its Gigafactory in Texas. Specifications on the company’s website say it will be able to go from 0 to 60 mph in 2.9 seconds, will have a range of up to 500 miles, a payload capacity of 2,500 pounds and will include 100 cubic feet of exterior, lockable storage and have a towing capacity of more than 14,000 pounds.
Last June, Tesla confirmed it will be using the world’s largest casting machine, known as Giga Press, for Cybertruck production.

Proceedings of the 18th IFAC World Congress | Published : 2011
We consider the use of linear multivariable state feedback control to achieve a nonundershooting step response. The recently introduced nonovershooting linear state feedback controller design method of Schmid and Ntogramatzidis (2010) is here modified to yield a step response that is nonundershooting. The design method is applicable to square and non-square systems, minimum and nonminimum phase systems, and also strictly proper and bi-proper systems. © 2011 IFAC.

Lexi Boling in “Faces of Fashion” by Stas Komarovski for Models.com
Posted Jun 20, 2016
Lexi Boling gets dark & real in “Faces of Fashion” by Stas Komarovski for Models.com. Authentically featured artfully portrayed, this is the picture of pure Model perfection. I’ve seen this stunner go from tomboy extreme to girl-next-door dream, with each editorial exposing us to something new. Andrew Mukamal ventures into the wild side, by giving us a peek at the body baring fashions of Boling. Raw and real looks reflect her unique nature, by allowing us to see just what she wants us to see. Exposing the somber side of style see-thru lace makes its way to every shot. Evocative looks erupt, going from a chain-link halter and leather shorts, to black tights with laced up sneakers and a body-stocking with a midriff harness/bra. Overt sexuality is a thing of the past as this piece projects a new form of fluidity.
Defying description, Lexi redefines the concept of what it means to be clean. Nude beauty beckons us near as CyndLe Komarovski shows us the beauty of being bare. A touch of color sweeps over the lids giving the illusion of makeup fading, as honey-dipped lips exude a barely there tone. An exquisite mix of art and fashion, her features evoke passion while this piece projects an edge. Naked skin reflects a sense of innocence with each image taking us deeper inside. Sensuality flows as duality has come to define her best works. Hiro + Mari let the messy hair fall free leaving it less an individual event than an extension of the story. Ending with a bang, her head is tilted back, with a leather choker around the neck and a lace mask covering her face. As smoke steams out of her mouth we are left to wonder…
There are some girls whose complex character implies edge, however, they are no longer willing to be put in an over-sexualized category. The rigid over classification of people can be limiting – sometimes to designate is to denigrate. Pigeonholed is so passé, so, to all the labeling, branding and typecasting – I say so long. It’s a new world baby… get on board or get run-over.

have to sac the queen else the mate is not forced
made one wrong move !
First, and superrrr easy. (Go Zimbabwe!!!)
I have to call bull-honky on the Queen sac this time. As long as the Rook counterattacks by capturing whatever takes the (black) Bishop, keep the Queen and just use your Bishop. It ends the same way!
lol @ comments today
Easy one, i solved it very quickly !
It was not actually a mate in 3 .
Puzzles are easy, love is complex... lol
Even easy for me.
Very interesting! Easy.
ALthough similar, I foresaw at least two other mates in three moves and another one in two, had black played recklessly.
I would say easy, but unrequieted love never is, ah, the puzzle, puzzle was easy. Can not wiat tomorrow's puzzle and the new sopoa opera developing, better than the overused: First.
