The other day I was cleaning my engine and notice some oil around the valve cover bolts. So I order a few of them grommets to replace the leaking ones until I had the time to replace the valve gaskets. Well I loosen one of the screws, which had felt that it wasn't very tight, and put a new grommet. Then I put the bolt back in and started tightening when I notice it never got tight or didn't stop spinning. I had stopped there because I didnt want to find out how many other bolts were like this.
What can I do to fix this bolt or any others that I might find?
You want to know how to fix the bolt?? The steel bolt is not the primary problem. Step away from the M5 engine bay.
If you are not familiar with the common methods used to repair stripped aluminum threads, then you should not be attempting that sort of mechanical vehicle repair. Such repairs take high level of skill and experience. Folks who are actually capable of doing that stuff in their backyard learned hoew to do it on a $25 lawn mower or $150 motorcycle when they were 15 yo. They likely screwed up a bunch of times before mastering these skills.
Screws holding such hardware on are incredibly easy to overtighten and strip. Two fingers on a wrench can apply excessive torque and strip threads. Substantial experience or special torque tools are the only things that can prevent damage & you seemingly have neither.
Rather than destroying your car, I would strongly suggest you take it to an indy for repair. Honestly, a BMW is not a suitable test bed for training, experimenting &/or learning Mechanics 101. You need to learn on a $300 Mustang or something, so you can replace the cylinder head for $75 if you screw up. A replacement cylinder head for your M5 will cost 100x ($7500) installed, no exaggeration. You are heading down that path with wreckless abandon.
Unless you are a mechanical wizard with years of auto and/or motorcycle repair under your belt, you should buy an affordable, low maintenance, reliable car that you can afford to have someone else repair. A BMW M5 is not for learning repair, aside from routine maintenance like oil change, brakes or wipers...fiddling will be disasterous from a financial & downtime perspective. There are several good solutions for repairing this stripped thread issue, but none are for newbies. Such a professional repair will likely cost under $100 and it's worth it. Invest your time investigating and searching for the best indy in town to handle your repairs, instead of butchering your car. You will see better results at less cost.
You're playing with fire and gonna get burnt. Sorry for being honest.

Sean Hannity is apparently tired of having Bill O'Reilly and Jesse Watters monopolize the market on deceptively edited videos, and sent radio host David Webb to an anti-Trump protest in Wisconsin.
Shockingly, the protesters selected to appear in the segment sounded uniformly uninformed -- one even appeared to be intoxicated -- and Hannity and Webb were, of course, convinced that these protesters are representative of all those who criticize Donald Trump. (He could, of course, just look to other anchors on his own network, some of whose programs appear adjacent to his own for counterexamples, but Sean Hannity is not a man for whom inconvenient counterexamples hold any weight.)
The most interesting element of the segment occurred, however, when the panel was discussing the potential for violence outside of the Republican National Convention in Cleveland. Hannity argued that he hopes the party welcomes protesters, so they can turn violent and "put the left on display."
He said that he would attend the protests himself, but "I'd probably be killed because I'd have to fight back." So he denies that Trump is contributing to a culture of violence by admitting that if he attended an anti-Trump rally, he would himself have no choice but to become violent -- not the most effective rhetorical strategy.
Of course, Hannity would follow the candidate and blame the protesters, as "He started it!" has become the GOP's go-to excuse.

Golf Essentials (for Weekend Warriors)
Author: Casey BourqueSubscribed: 3Played: 59
Here's what I believe about both golf and business:
1. Both are challenging, but don't need to be complicated - simple and consistent is best.
2. Large and infrequent improvement sessions aren't optimal - light, regular refinements are much better.
3. There's no magic pill (sorry) - it's about making the most of the time you're spending.

As we move from place to place, each region has its unique temperature, soil conditions, crop seasons, techniques, etc. Hence, the farming lifestyle in each region differs, and the farmer’s way of doing agriculture differs. Changed Lifestyle of farming marks the increased utilization of the countryside as a space of consumption. It also traces the role of countryside consumption in self-concept of the farmers and the agriculture sector as well. Here are the mainlands of the world and the status of farming there.
India is known as the ‘land of farmers’. Being a part of such a huge diversity, they can survive various seasons, climate change, soil conditions, and often harsh destruction of wildfires, droughts, and floods. The occupation of farming in India provides food security, rural employment, management of natural resources, soil conservation, etc. As farming is evolving, the farmers use modern seed fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides, insecticides, and irrigation techniques to grow crops. Despite their rigorous hard work, 80% of farmers are marginal and contribute to only 17% of the GDP.
Based on the data, around 2.3 million U.S. farmers are involved in farming. In contrast two the Indian farmlands which are 2-3 hectares, the U.S. farm holdings are large, spread in around 250 hectares. The U.S. farmers are well-equipped with the new-age agriculture equipment and technology. Based on the soil texture and the climatic conditions, the U.S. farms grow multiple crops in a year such as soybeans, beetroot, wheat, etc. Also, they use advanced irrigation systems to make farming possible round the year. The availability of special business corporations and manpower substantiates their farming more.
Australia has a large landmass spanning 769.2 million hectares, out of which farmers manage 51.1% of the land. The farmers in Australia manage the soil, natural vegetation, and waterways. Australia is the second-driest continent in the world with an average rainfall of 600mm. Thus, the farmers are experts at growing both food and fibres at little water. As per the data, the Australian rice growers use 50% less water than the global average, and the cotton growers improved the water use efficiency by 48%. The farmers in Australia grow enough food to feed 600 people around the world.
The advent of farming in Europe started in the year 1865. New generation farmers had joined smallholders in Europe either as tenants or owners to feed the urban and industrial population. Grassland and cropland together make up 39% of Europe’s land cover. Europe is self-sufficient in primary agricultural commodities and is the single largest exporter of agri-food products, including processed food. However, the 3 factors such as land-take, intensification, and extensification can lead to a loss of high-value farmland.

Obviously this one is more of a Scottish phrase although I didn’t even realise that it was Scottish until I moved to the south of England for a few years in the late 70s.
I was met with puzzled faces when I said to people ‘I’m going for my messages’. They just couldn’t think what I meant by it and I thought that everybody used the word messages to mean food shopping, so I was really surprised when I had to explain it to them.
It is probably more common to hear people saying ‘I’m away for my messages’ – and they just mean that they are going to the supermarket.
In the days of my childhood when children were allowed to roam the streets on their own at a young age it was common to see them being sent for a message and that could mean something like picking up the dry cleaning or paying a bill for their mother. We were given quite a lot of responsibility in those days as youngster.
When you think about it, it sounds a strange thing to say. So I can see why Sassenachs were completely in the dark as to what I was talking about. Poor sowls.

Best level measurement instruments supplier factory: Advanced Radar Level Measurement: The constant progress of innovation continues to push the limits of radar level measurement, propelling this technology into areas of capability and pertinence. As industries undergo transformations and integrate the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) into their operational processes radar devices have evolved to meet these changing demands. Integration with IIoT- Leading the Way to Industry 4.0 One of the transformative developments in radar level measurement is the seamless integration of Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) capabilities into radar devices. These radar sensors equipped with IIoT features have become important components in Industry 4.0 initiatives ushering in an era where data driven excellence prevails in operations. Find even more details on https://www.kaidi86.com/level-instrument.html.
For more accurate measurement in deaerators, magnetrol guided wave radar (GWR) is a preferred option. Since its performance and accuracy are not contingent on the specific gravity and/or inference, it can provide reliable measurements in all situations, including the difficult and turbulent process conditions of deaerators and feedwater heaters. In addition, GWR does not require external inputs or calibration to achieve specified performance. This effectively eliminates the introduction of errors during the calibration process or from external sources, i.e., pressure and temperature. With this high level of accuracy, operators can trust that their deaerators will be well controlled.
In the process of cement production, material level detection and material level alarm control play an important role from mining and crushing to storage and packing of finished cement. But because of the complex working conditions of cement plant, radar level meter has no small difficulty in measuring. Today, I would like to talk with you about specific difficulties and solutions. First cement plant material for measurement in the dust under the condition of particularly large, especially some pneumatic feed bin, involves the kinds of materials, material particle size is differ, dielectric constant is different also, such as broken limestone, raw meal, clinker, fly ash, coal, cement, the level of the bunker, it is very difficult to accurately measure Especially fly ash bin with low dielectric constant.
Rod antenna: generally used in strong corrosive environments, with weak anti-interference ability and small range; Flare antenna: stronger anti-interference ability, suitable for more complex environments. The larger the bell mouth, the more concentrated the energy, and the larger the measuring range; Parabolic antenna: the focusing effect is stronger than that of the bell mouth, the anti-interference ability is the strongest, and the range is the largest.
The key components are made of high-quality materials, which have strong corrosion resistance and can adapt to highly corrosive environments. Low power consumption, can use solar power to supply power, no need to build water level wells, adapt to various geographical environments, no impact on water flow, and more convenient installation and maintenance. The parameter setting is convenient, and the false echo from the liquid surface to the antenna can be automatically identified by the software carried by itself to eliminate the interference.
The whole process measurement is rain proof, corrosion proof, high temperature, high pressure, leakage proof, no blind area, eye-catching display, intuitive reading, and a wide measurement range, suitable for all kinds of towers, tanks, tanks, spherical vessels and boilers and other equipment continuous measurement of liquid level. Optional liquid level alarm switch, can realize the upper and lower limit of liquid level alarm and control.
As one of the most professional magnetic level indicators manufacturers in China,Guangdong Kaidi Energy Technology Co., Ltd. provides customized solutions for a range of industrial automation process applications,such as mechanical float level indicator.We specialized in radar level gauge, fork type level switch,etc. These were implemented successfully, and KAIDI magnetic level gauge manufacturers products,such as radar level meter, magnetic level indicators, can be used in many different industries such as food & beverage, water, energy, pharmaceutical etc. Find additional details at https://www.kaidi86.com/. Kaidi Energy is a level gauge manufacturer which more than 20 years of industrial automation experience.
The interference comes not only from the outside, but also from the inside of the radar level gauge, such as interference caused by wires, inductance and capacitance between the power transformer and electronic components. In addition, the internal components can also generate noise interference. Today, most radar level gauges have also begun to be improved, using high-frequency microwave technology, which greatly improves the performance of the level gauge and reduces interference.
The installation of the liquid level gauge should be away from the inlet, outlet, eddy current or protrusions on the inner wall to avoid the interference of electromagnetic waves and affect the measurement. When installing the guided wave radar, make sure that the diameter of the short pipe at the flange connection is greater than the height of the short pipe, otherwise the cable will contact the short pipe wall due to shaking, and the liquid level cannot be measured accurately. How to choose a model, in the final analysis, you still need to understand your own working conditions and the characteristics of different instruments, and judge whether the two match, so that you can get twice the result with half the effort.Want to know about ultrasonic flow meter advantages and disadvantages, click here.


Jake Powell has always been a diehard hunter and angler. From as early as he can remember, waterfowl hunting has been a lifelong passion. By turning loose his metal fabrication skills in order to build the figurative better mousetrap, Powell found a way to channel his passion into a career. It all began with some arduous days in the duck slough, struggling with getting boats in and out of shallow mud.
“I've had a lot of big mud boats, 15-18 foot flat-bottom-type hulls with highly modified big block surface drive mud motors," Powell said. "I went through a few of those. We would end up putting ATV winches on the front of the big mud boats to sometimes just get them on and off the trailer, through a ditch or wherever these bad spots happened to be. Regular boat landings sometimes just weren't an option. When hunting with friends we’d take digger-type anchors and drag them out in the slough connected to the winch cable and have a guy stand on them and winch our boats out from being stuck or simply just trying to get to the water. It just got to a point where I needed something small and light weight motor and boat wise, so each guy could have his own 'mini mud boat.' So I made the first PPF (Powell Performance Fabrication) Mud Motor prototype, one to keep and one to sell to pay for the parts on my personal one. But there was so much interest that I sold them both soon after I posted the first one on Craigslist.”
Powell started making more and the demand kept pace with production. For two years, Powell sold his creations on Craigslist. With steady work in his shop near Hook Lake, north of Hutchinson, he decided to switch things up and tinker with something lighter. He knew he had a hit.
“The current version, the lightweight ‘PPF Wood Duck 6.5hp’ model, is what I’m still selling today, nearly 8 years later," he said. "It’s been a full-time gig ever since. I’ve done a few fabrication odds and ends, but now I kind of get to pick my battles.”
Powell gave up his big mud boats, opting to move around in a bunch of smaller boats complete with his signature mud motors. All that remains for big boats is an 18-foot Lund, ready to deploy on diving duck water where a mud motor isn’t a necessity.
Shallow drafting and long shafted mud motors are nothing new to the sport of waterfowling. PPF Mud Motors entered a crowded market. Hunters have long appreciated the ability to get to hard-to-reach places with mud motors. Their obvious advantage is the unparalleled access they offer.
“You can get into places that would otherwise be off-limits for a big boat and trailer with a normal outboard motor,” Powell said. “Outboard motors are water cooled so if you get into the mud/sand and plug your water intake or cooling system, the motor will eventually overheat and if you don't catch it you will be paying your mechanic to re-build your engine."
The weight savings is where Powell has an edge over his heavier and bulkier competitors.
“I designed these motors to be simple, light weight and have maximum portability,” Powell explained. “You can take the whole motor off the transom with a quick pull of a hitch pin and easily throw it in your truck, haul it to the garage, or even just walk it to the water's edge.”
The engine itself is the bulk of the weight, but Powell allows his customers to put whatever engine they want on their mud motor. He sells primarily the Briggs and Stratton Predator and some Honda GX200s. He offers a few options with all the engines producing 8-9.5 feet/pounds of torque. For hunters with an engine in hand, Powell does offer just the frame kit.
Each motor takes Powell 4-5 hours of custom work to build with CNC-made parts and precision welds. The result is a machine that can take you into the gnarliest places.
“A PPF Mud Motor can go through mud, sand, rocks, weeds, logs," Powell said. "They are pretty bulletproof. You can get into the coolest places. I got permission to hunt a flooded field over a dike that would have just been unreachable without a PPF mud motor. There are endless possibilities. You can go through a lot of shallow water that you just couldn’t with anything else. It’s just nice to know you can get in and out and be able to take it on and off with ease. You have some piece of mind and you have some options. The Wood Duck takes up very little space, so if you head out of town on a field hunting trip it's easy to toss the motor in the trailer with a little boat and then your back-up plan is covered.”
Now a proud father of an 8-year-old son and 10-year-old daughter, Powell doesn’t hunt the full 60-day Minnesota duck season like he used to, but gets in his fair share of hunts with friends and family.
Powell’s motors have caught the eye of hunters, guides, and backwater river rats across the country. Business remains brisk, with just enough freedom and flexibility to let Powell take some time to put his products to the test.
“Now if I get stuck, it’s operator error and not the equipment,” he said with a laugh.

MOSCOW, September 2 (Itar-Tass) —— Russian stock markets opened moderately lower today against a negative external background. The MICEX index fell by 1.28 percent at the opening to 1,531.70 points, and the RTS index, by 1.2 percent to 1,683.37 points.
"The external background is moderately negative. America closed lower, the oil and gas sector is moderately better than the market, and the financial sector underperformed the market. Asia is trading lower," said the assets manager at the Investment Chamber, Alexander Volynsky.
As the chief economist of Finam Management, Alexander Osin, said the recent surge in the activity of regulators, aimed at cooling the market demand - primarily, the publication of a lower forecast of the U.S. GDP growth by the International Monetary Fund - is the limiting factor for purchases.
"In the short term against such information background there may be a decline in the prices of Russian shares, however, the market retains the uptrend that developed in the second half of August," says the analyst.

If theorists such as Jean Piaget are right, it’s human nature to want equilibrium. We want things to be in balance and to make sense. We want some sort of order. If you think about it, that drive for equilibrium arguably fuels many of our actions. We’re curious (which throws us into disequilibrium because we don’t know something). So, we seek to learn, or to find out about something. Or, perhaps we move to a new home. That throws us into disequilibrium until we unpack, put our things where we want them, and find out where the local library and the grocery stores are. Then, as we settle in, we impose new order on our lives and are back into equilibrium. And the list of examples could go on.
For any story, the drive for equilibrium can be an effective way to construct the action. The protagonist starts out in…

State, citizens and private investors have been vindicating the area of Eleonas in Athens for the last six years. The area of 9,000 square meters extends in the south-west boroughs of Peristeri, Egaleo, St. John Renti, Tavros and Athens and form the area of Eleonas.
Eleonas is regarded as another “back yard” of Athens, in close proximity to the city center and between significant transportation axis. Eleonas, once a fertile and green district, gradually turned into an industrialized and degraded area during the 60s. Nowadays, it is an unorganized and polluted region gathering warehouses, private and public transportation, with a low residential density in a highly urbanized context.
In 1995, a promising Presidential Decree was voted aiming at the conversion of 35% of the area into an open green space of supra-local radiation. However, since 2006, a big debate began over a new law of “the double regeneration” voted in defiance of the decree of ’95. The aforementioned legislation was giving the green light for the relocation of the Panathinaikos (PAO) football stadium from its current position in Alexandra’s avenue into one of the most significant parts of Eleonas. In addition to the football stadium, was the anticipation of the construction of the new municipality hall, a small municipal commercial center, and a commercial mega-mall of questionable legality in a neighboring plot by a private investor.
However, citizens are fighting against this kind of urban planning based on the speculation of land. Through legal processes, the “Citizens Committee to Save Eleonas” have succeeded in halting the construction of the Mall that would:
- Irreversibly affect the area of Eleonas and lead to the gradual “cementification” of the broader area through the rise of land values;
- Lead to closing of small businesses and commercial uses;
- Would deprive Athens a new park and a more sustainable future for the area.
Have you, as a city dweller, ever been in a similar situation? What do you think about land speculation?

|Review: Stormwitch - Season of the Witch|
|Season of the Witch|
Label: Massacre Records
Year released: 2015
Genre: Heavy Metal
Review online: May 22, 2015
Reviewed by: MetalMike
for:Season of the Witch
Rated 3.5/5 (70%) (6 Votes)
Stormwitch is a German band that banged around the Heavy Metal scene for a bunch of years in the 80s and early 90s, called it quits for a decade and is now on their second go round. I can't say I recall being aware of them back in the day but it is never too late to check out a band, right? Maybe it is. Season of the Witch is the band's 10th album and I am less than impressed. The riffs are mostly recycled from Iron Maiden with vocal lines that don't always fit. Singer Andy Aldrian doesn't appear to be up to the task on Season of the Witch and he sounds tentative throughout the album. "Harper in the Wind" is probably the best track, though it borrows from Pagan Altar, but none of the others do much to stand out with the exception of the digipak bonus ballad "Different Eyes" and that's only because it is awful glam.
You'd think after a 10-year break from the last album Stormwitch might have some really decent songs kicking around but if they do, none made it on to Season of the Witch. It isn't terrible but neither is it anything you need to add to your collection any time soon.

Will you be looking for greener pastures or just feel prepared for the career challenge that is new? In that case, it generally does not hurt to possess good credit, as some employers pull a form of candidates’ credit history through the application procedure as an element of a background research. For jobs that need authorities safety access or clearance to federal government facilities, as an example, pulling a credit file is crucial. When that credit history gets drawn, it need to be spotless (discover ways to add up of the report right here), lest you get left behind in the job as a result of your dismal credit history.
Listed here is a glance at some working jobs that want solid credit to get your foot when you look at the home.
1. Protection approval jobs
Military personnel, IT experts . plenty of jobs need federal federal government protection approval, and when you are applying for one, a credit history check is normally planning to take place. Though your general credit or FICO rating isn’t highly relevant to an adjudicator for the history investigator, Marko Hakamaa, factor to safety clearance job networking website ClearanceJobs.com said via e-mail, “your reputation for being financially responsible and having to pay as decided legal and just debts” is very important. The main reason: ” This will be a representation of someone’s trustworthiness and honesty,” he stated.
If that is inadequate reason to function on building your credit, Stephanie Benson, basic supervisor of ClearanceJobs.com, added that “regular credit file can also be pulled for present approval holders as part of the constant monitoring procedure.” When you’ve allow your credit fall, now’s the time for you get things so as.
2. Financial broker
Your good credit score is significantly more than a solution to lessen mortgage rates and travel reward charge cards. It can also assist you score a lifetime career into the world that is high-stakes of. Which is in accordance with the Financial flingster quizzes Regulatory Authority (FINRA), which calls for applicants that are prospective be vetted. FINRA ended up being unavailable for direct remark, but a notice given in March 2015 claims:
“FINRA Rule 3110(e) requires that all user firm ascertain by investigation the great character, company reputation, skills and experience of a job candidate before the firm relates to register that applicant with FINRA and before generally making a representation to that particular influence on the application form for enrollment.”
Information disclosed regarding the company’s Form U4 can be used to aid see whether a job candidate should always be disqualified or may provide “a regulatory risk for the company and clients,” FINRA adds. “companies additionally may decide to think about background that is private, credit history and reference letters for this specific purpose.”
3. Home loan officer
Though Joe Parsons, senior loan officer at PFS Financing in Dublin, Ca, has not been aware of anybody being rejected a license entirely due to their credit, he does “think regulators are searching for proof of fraudulent task which may show on a credit file as judgments,” he stated via e-mail. Therefore, yes, home mortgage officers are certified today beneath the National Mortgage Licensing System and element of that procedure involves a court records check and credit file, Parsons stated.
The keys to credit that is great
Whenever trying to get the working jobs we have detailed, you will want your credit to check as polished and expert as the application. So just how do it is done by you? By having to pay awareness of how your spending habits impact your credit — you will see two of the credit scores at no cost on Credit.com — and understanding what must be done to create credit that is solid. Here is a quick check exactly exactly what switches into your credit file.
Re re Payment history: also referred to as your re re payment performance, your payment history may be worth 35 per cent regarding the points in your credit rating and is the record you have founded of spending bills on time. If loan providers report that you have missed a few bills to the credit scoring agencies, you’ll guarantee that information goes on your credit file — and ding your rating.
Number of financial obligation: Credit utilization — this is certainly, the total amount of credit you are making use of when compared with your total available credit that is revolving — makes up about very nearly 30 % associated with the points in your credit rating. Therefore if the debt is closing in on that borrowing limit, or worse still, surpasses it, your credit may be in big trouble. Keep in mind, the lower your ratio, the bigger your rating. Other financial obligation, such as for example available or installment financial obligation, also can adversely influence your credit it responsibly or it’s excessive if you aren’t managing.
Forms of reports: From student education loans to charge cards, it is useful to have healthy number of reports (also called a “credit mix”) in your credit file. In reality, whether or perhaps not you’ve got a variety of reports make a difference almost ten percent associated with true points in your credit rating.
Reputation for trying to find credit: Worth 10 percent for the true points in your credit rating, this part of your credit history assesses your reputation for inquiries, or what are the results anytime somebody brings your credit file. Whenever you submit an application for that loan or pre-qualify for a mortgage, for example, an inquiry articles to your credit. In the event that you go searching for credit plenty, you will probably be looked at a high danger to lenders.
Chronilogical age of reports: Some individuals prefer to state age is absolutely nothing a lot more than a quantity. However in the global realm of credit, it is the chronilogical age of the knowledge in your credit score, plus it matters a great deal. Worth 15 % regarding the true points in your credit score, the older your history, the greater your score.

Sirtuins and neurovegetative diseases
Sirtuins are a family of enzymes that control several vital cellular functions, including metabolism and ageing. Manipulations of sirtuin activities cause the activation of anti-apoptotic, anti-inflammatory, anti-stress responses, and the modulation of an aggregation of proteins involved in neurodegenerative disorders.
Recently, sirtuins have been investigated for their ability to intervene in neurovegetative diseases in various models of neurodegeneration. However, in almost all cases, the exact mechanisms of neuroprotection remain elusive. In any case, the manipulation of sirtuin activities is of interest as a new therapeutic strategy for the treatment of currently fatal human disorders such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease.
Sirtuins and neurovegetative diseases, a preventive strategy to ensure longevity and well-being by mimicking calorie restriction with natural polyphenol-based foods and supplements.

How to Make Taco Rice
- Cook beef rice-a-roni per package directions.
- In a separate skillet, brown the hamburger. Drain and rinse if desired.
- Add taco seasoning to the browned, drained ground hamburger and simmer for about 5 minutes.
- Combine finished rice-a-roni and taco meat together. (Don't try to just stir the hamburger meat, rice and seasoning all at the same time. It just doesn't taste right)
- Place the mixture into a flat casserole dish and top with the shredded cheese then the crushed doritos.
- Bake at 350 degrees for about 15 minutes, until the cheese is melted. Be careful to watch that the doritos don't burn.
- Serve with sour cream and salsa for topping.

Listen to this Article:
The C5 Aircross, produced by Groupe PSA's subsidiary Citroen, is the first car by the company to be launched on Indian land. This premium mid-size SUV was aimed at a select group of buyers, mostly catering to luxury car buyers. The corporation, however, has decided to now take a more mass market-oriented approach, which will include the introduction of low-cost vehicles.
C3, which has been under development for almost two years, will be first on this list. In September 2021, the compact crossover made its global debut, and just a few weeks ago, it was launched and put on sale in South American countries. The French automaker is currently preparing to launch the new cross-hatchback in India.
At a national media drive event currently taking place in Goa, Citroen has formally unveiled the C3 in India. They stated at the event that the C3 launch will take place on July 20th, and that official C3 booking will begin on July 1st. The crossover will be manufactured in CK Birla's factory in Thiruvallur, Tamil Nadu, near Chennai. It will also be the first of three new models that the brand will introduce in India as part of its C-Cubed program.
The cross-hatch will be built on a Common Modular Platform (CMP) that has been localized to over 90%. When it comes to aesthetics, the C3 is a true crossover, with elements of both SUV and hatchback body shapes seen in its design. Two chrome lines run from each side of the logo and meet the split LED headlamps and DRLs, giving it a distinctive front face.
The C3's front end is quite hefty, thanks to a strong front bumper with a big faux skid plate that gives it an SUV-like appearance. When you look at the side profile, you'll notice a boxy design, thick plastic cladding on the wheel arches and door sills, and faux roof rails, all of which lend to the SUV-like appearance. The back end is more subtle, with wrap-around LED taillamps that give it a hatchback appearance.
The cabin's interiors are well-designed and simple, which complements the dual-tone treatment nicely. With a wheelbase of 2,540mm, it will be the longest in the sub-4-meter passenger vehicle class. This should translate to plenty of interior room, especially in the second row.
The C3 will come with a 10-inch touchscreen entertainment system with Mirror Screen, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, three fast-charging USB outlets and a 12V plug, a flat-bottom multifunction steering wheel, automatic climate control, and more. Twin airbags, rear parking sensors, and ABS with EBD will ensure your safety.
A 1.2-liter petrol engine or a 1.2-liter turbo petrol engine will power the Citroen C3. The former will power entry-level models, generating 82 PS through a 5-speed manual transmission. The more powerful turbo unit will be fitted to the top models, delivering 110 PS and 190 Nm with a 6-speed manual transmission. The automatic transmission option for the Citroen C3 is unlikely to be available at launch. This engine is planned to use Flexi-fuel technology, which means it will be able to run on gasoline, ethanol, or blended fuels. However, this does not appear to be the case. It'll almost certainly be a petrol engine. The C3 dimensions are 3981 mm in length, 1733 mm in width, 1586 mm in height, and 2540 mm in wheelbase.

Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf leader Fawad Chaudhry has reacted to US President Joe Biden’s statement regarding Pakistan’s nuclear program.
Fawad Chaudhry says that a few days ago, the offensive approach about Saudi Arabia and now the irresponsible statement about Pakistan seems like President Biden wants to divert attention from the declining reputation among the American people.
Fawad Chaudhry further wrote in his tweet that President Biden should withdraw his irresponsible statements about Pakistan immediately, our current leadership may be weak but the people are not weak.
It should be noted that US President Joe Biden has declared Pakistan’s nuclear program illegal.
US President Joe Biden, while addressing the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, took Pakistan under wraps while referring to Russia and China.
US President Joe Biden has accused Pakistan and said that Pakistan’s nuclear program is irregular.
The US President further said that I think that Pakistan is one of the most dangerous countries.

This may sound like a non-serious question, but please recall that “Peacock,” Perry’s paean to the penis (“I want to see your peacock/cock/cock”), may very well be her next video. If it’s going to follow in the footsteps of “California Gurls,” in which Perry strapped on a bra spring-loaded with whipped cream and ejaculated the contents all over candyland, and her new boobs-spewing-fireworks video for “Firework,” we may all soon be subjected to a video of breasts shooting out really beautifully colored feathers! Like from a peacock! Anyway! In the video for “Firework,” an overweight girl finds the inner strength to jump in a pool, a boy finds the inner strength to stop his parents from fighting, a cancer-stricken kid finds the strength to leave the hospital, and Katy Perry finds the inner strength to shoot fireworks out of her boobs while standing on the top of a building. We think the fireworks are actually coming out of her heart, but it’s impossible to tell until the end when lots of people joyously come together (including two kissing boys) for a wild rumpus and they have fireworks coming out of their hearts, as opposed to breasts. Despite the mammary glands of it all, there’s nothing particularly tawdry or provocative in this video, it’s just light-maudlin sentiment, bright colors, and a missed opportunity to investigate what a plastic bag really feels like. And then at the end Perry does a variation on the Molly Ringwald dance, so all is forgiven.

333 S. Valley View
Las Vegas, NV 89152
$17.95 Students and Seniors
$10.95 Children 5-17
Children under 5 free
Vegas4Visitors Rating: A
At a Glance
What is it?
An oasis in the maddening world that is Las Vegas with an interactive museum focusing on the development of the Las Vegas valley, nature trails, ecology exhibits, gardens, a café and more.
Where is it?
A couple of miles north and west of The Strip, near the intersection Valley View Boulevard and I-95.
Is it worth the cost?
Every penny and then some for this alone but admission also includes entrance to the Nevada State Museum, so you get a bonus.
What else do I need to know?
Since a lot of the nature stuff is, unsurprisingly, outdoors, go in the morning before it gets too hot.
What’s the bottom line?
A true must-see experience.
Tucked behind a freeway sound barrier is 180 acres of an anachronism taking physical form. It is at once the thing that you would never expect to find in Las Vegas and a thing that the city desperately needed. Part cultural center, part nature preserve, part ecological and educational facility, and part theme park the Springs Preserve needs to be on the must-see list of every Las Vegas visitor. It really is that simple: you need to go.
Located just north and west of The Strip – a quick 15 minute drive – the Preserve is located on the land that originally brought people to this area in the first place a few thousand years ago. The natural Artesian springs that once fed this otherwise arid desert landscape created a relatively verdant field of trees and greenery, eventually giving the region its name (Las Vegas is Spanish for the meadows).
It was these springs that drew people to the region, from the Mormon settlers of the 1800s to the railroad in the 1900s and the water they provided helped to develop the region.
The springs dried up in the 1960s but the land was preserved and now has been turned into a $250 million complex that aims to examine land, water, nature, the environment, and Las Vegas in a way that is both educational and entertaining.
You enter the complex through a series of canyon-like arroyos that deliver you to the front door of the centerpiece of the facility: the Origen Experience. This building contains two museum galleries, a children’s gallery, an indoor theater, and an interpretive center packed with hands-on displays and exhibits that trace the roots of how the springs helped to build Las Vegas. Recreated railroad cars and buildings from the city’s early days are interesting touches, helping to give a visual context to the multi-media centers around the space that help to explain things in a simple way.
This being Vegas, of course, there has to be some sizzle to go with the substance. One room uses high-tech visuals to make you feel like you’re a construction worker atop the 700-foot high Hoover Dam and another has the closest thing to a real-live flash flood (with thousands of gallons of water) that you’ll ever want to experience.
Beyond that building is the Desert Living Center, a collection of buildings that are all LEED Platinum Certified. This means that they have the highest rating of environmentally sensitive construction, using things like rammed earth walls instead of concrete, photo-dynamic cells for power, and natural air tunnels for cooling. Portions of the buildings are done as exhibits themselves, where you can open a panel in the wall and see the straw that was used to make it.
These buildings contain a variety of displays and facilities designed to further our understanding of the environment in general but more specifically, how we can live in desert environments without sucking up tons of water and blasting our Freon based, electric powered air conditioners all day. There are sections devoted to recycling and waste management, energy efficient living solutions, modern kitchens and bathrooms that work with the Earth instead of against it, and much more. Much of it has a definite kid appeal with plenty of hands-on (and climb through) opportunities, but adults can be just as entertained and deeply fascinated by the amazing science that goes into doing things as simple as building a better refrigerator.
A library, research and design labs, classroom and conference space, and more fill up the rest of these beautifully designed buildings.
Oh, and in case you get hungry there is also a restaurant from The Culinary Academy of Las Vegas.
But the facility does not stop there. The Commons area features an 1,800 seat outdoor amphitheater, a children’s learning playground with giant climb-on animals and soft-spongy floors, and plenty of areas to sit and relax and enjoy the surroundings.
Beyond that are the Gardens – eight acres of botanical wonder that will promote a deeper understanding of drought tolerant plants and landscaping plus offer outdoor classroom instruction areas for gardening and cooking. They even have an Enabling Garden that shows people with disabilities or physical challenges that they can still enjoy growing flowers or vegetables in their own space.
Wait, there’s more. There are more than 2.5 miles worth of walking trails and interpretive stations that trace the early settlement and development of Las Vegas with historic structures like oil derricks and archaeological sites. These trails wrap through the body of the preserve and skirt the edge of the Cienega, a recreated desert wetland that is home to hundreds of native plant, bird, and animal species.
The Boomtown 1905 section of the facility has restorations and recreations of the original buildings that existed in 1905 when the city was founded, including a train station and railroad cottages.
And as if all that weren’t enough, the campus also includes the Nevada State Museum, which chronicles the history of the region from ancient times to the casino era and entrance to that is included in the admission free for the Springs Preserve.
I’m not much of an outdoors kind of person and the closest I get to environmental awareness is insisting that one of these days I’m going to rent “An Inconvenient Truth” and be morally outraged about the whole thing. But this facility goes way beyond politics or preaching or even the kind of bland educational malaise that seems to grip things like natural history museums. It simply exists as a testament to what we have done and what we can do, not to necessarily tell us what we should do.
I found the whole thing fascinating – both stimulating and calming in turns. Standing there looking out across the desert landscape with the towering, glittering Strip just a few miles away as a backdrop, was the kind of sight that can give you some much needed perspective. It is a perfect antidote to the over-processed experience that Las Vegas has become.
To get there you’ll need a car, a taxi or a bus since it’s close to The Strip but not within walking distance. If you’re driving yourself take any of the major East-West streets like Sahara, Flamingo, or Tropicana to Valley View and hang a right. The Springs Preserve is at the corner of Valley View and Alta Drive, near the Meadows Mall and Interstate 95. A taxi from The Strip will probably run you in the $15-$20 range depending on what part you’re traveling from.

However, the functions of CCDC106 in other cancer types and its own upstream regulators haven’t been investigated. Strategies The phosphorylation position was looked into by in vitro kinase assay and American blotting using phosphorylation-specific antibodies. Co-immunoprecipitation GST-pulldown and assay were utilized to detect proteins relationship. Cell viability, apoptosis, colony development, wound-healing and invasion assays had been assessed for in vitro useful analyses. The in vivo aftereffect of CCDC106 on tumor development was investigated utilizing a subcutaneous xenograft tumor mouse model. Outcomes We confirmed that CCDC106 knockdown improved apoptosis by stabilizing p53 and suppressed cell viability, colony development, migration and invasion in cervical cancers HeLa and breasts cancers MCF7 cells with wild-type p53 (wtp53), whereas CCDC106 overexpression A2A receptor antagonist 1 exerted the contrary IL-15 effects in regular breasts epithelial HBL100 and cervical cancers SiHa cells with wtp53. Nevertheless, CCDC106 acquired no similar results on p53-mutant cervical and breasts cancers cells (C33A and MDA-MB-231). Further research demonstrated that CK2 interacts with CCDC106 through its regulatory subunit and phosphorylates CCDC106 at A2A receptor antagonist 1 Ser-130 and Ser-147. The phosphorylation of CCDC106 at Ser-147 and Ser-130 is necessary because of its relationship with p53 and nuclear localization, respectively. Inhibiting CCDC106 phosphorylation by substituting both Ser-130 and Ser-147 with alanine or dealing with cells using the CK2 inhibitor CX-4945 abrogated CCDC106-induced p53 degradation and its own oncogenic function in cells with wtp53. Wildtype CCDC106, however, not Ser-130/??147 mutant CCDC106, improved tumor p53 and growth degradation within a xenograft mouse button super model tiffany livingston. Furthermore, suppression of CCDC106 elevated CX-4945 awareness of cancers cells with wtp53. Bottom line This scholarly research uncovered a CK2/CCDC106/p53 signaling axis within the development of breasts and cervical malignancies, which may give a brand-new therapeutic focus on for cancers treatment.

Your final concentration of just one 1?mmol/L IPTG was then put into induce the expression of GST-fusion protein for 6?h at 30?C. GST fusion proteins were purified using glutathione agarose (Pierce, Rockford, IL, USA). In vitro phosphorylation assay and Phos-tag SDS-PAGE The purified GST-fusion proteins (GST-CCDC106, GST-S130A, GST-S147A and GST-S130/147A) were incubated with recombinant CK2 holoenzyme (New England Biolabs, Ipswich, MA, USA) in CK2 reaction buffer supplemented with 200?M ATP at 30?C for 1?h. Then, the reaction combination was separated by Phos-tag SDS-PAGE (Wako, Osaka, Japan) and transferred to PVDF membranes (Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA, USA). The membranes were incubated with anti-GST antibody and HRP-conjugated secondary antibody. In the gel with Phos-tag, the phosphorylated proteins migrate slower than their corresponding dephosphorylated counterparts . GST pull-down assay A GST pull-down assay was performed as explained previously . HEK293 cells were transfected with Myc-CCDC106, Myc-S130A, Myc-S147A or Myc-S130/147A. At 24?h posttransfection, cell lysates were harvested, A2A receptor antagonist 1 treated without or with -phosphatase (New England Biolabs), and then incubated with bacterially expressed and purified GST-p53 fusion protein. GST-p53 was pulled down with glutathione agarose beads, and the associated Myc-CCDC106 fusion protein was analyzed by Western blotting with an antibody against Myc-tag. Coimmunoprecipitation (co-IP) assay Co-IP was performed as explained previously . For the co-IP of transiently expressed proteins, HEK293 cells were cotransfected with HA-CK2 and Myc-CCDC106 and harvested at 24?h posttransfection. Cell lysates were prepared and immunoprecipitated with rabbit.

How Humans Are Like Rats
The laboratory rat is one of the most popular experimental models for the experimental surgery of the liver. The objective of this study was to investigate the morphometric parameters, physiological data, differences in configuration of liver lobes, biliary system, and vasculature arteries, veins, and lymphatic vessels of the liver in laboratory rats. In addition, this study supports the anatomic literature and identified similarities and differences with human and other mammals. The results are listed in percentages. The anatomical nomenclature of the liver morphology, its arteries, veins, lymph nodes, and lymphatic vessels are in accordance with Nomina Anatomica Veterinaria.
The gross anatomy and morphometry of the kidney and renal arteries were studied in the strains of laboratory rat: Sprague-Dawley Sp and Wistar W rats. Total of three-dimensional endocasts of the intrarenal arteries of kidney that were prepared using standard injection-corrosion techniques were examined. The renal arteries were divided into a dorsal and a ventral branch. The dorsal and ventral branches were divided into two branches, the cranial and caudal branch. Renal arteries were classified into types I and II, depending on the cranial and caudal branches and their made of branching.

The Laboratory Rat: Relating Its Age With Human's
The purpose of this article is to provide for practitioners a comprehensive overview of respiratory diseases, both infectious and noninfectious, in the mouse, rat, hamster, and gerbil. The information presented will also be useful for veterinarians pursuing board certification. Anatomy and physiology are briefly addressed, as those two facets alone could encompass an entire article for these species.
Rat's age versus human's age: what is the relationship? The exact relationship between age of the animals compared with the age of humans is still subject to discussion and controversy. RESULTS: Rats rapidly develop during childhood and become sexually mature at about six weeks old, but reach social maturity five to six months later. In adulthood, every month of the animal is approximately equivalent to 2. Several authors performed experimental studies in rats and estimated 30 days of human life for every day life of the animal. Special care is necessary to be taken when the intention is to produce correlation with human life.
Her interests are physiological genomics and integrating phenotype and genotype data. Melinda R. Rat models have been used to investigate physiological and pathophysiological mechanisms for decades. With the availability of the rat genome and other online resources, tools to identify rat models that mimic human disease are an important step in translational research. Despite the large number of papers published each year using rat models, integrating this information remains a problem.

IL , U. The book explain basic fundamental anatomy as well as physiology in very concise way. Any one who wants to known whats going on in human body like its structures and function this book is highly recommended.
By late 18 th or early 19 th century, albino rats became the most commonly used experimental animals in numerous biomedical researches, as they have been recognized as the preeminent model mammalian system. But, the precise correlation between age of laboratory rats and human is still a subject of debate. A number of studies have tried to detect these correlations in various ways, But, have not successfully provided any proper association. Thus, the current review attempts to compare rat and human age at different phases of their life.
Верно. Но я хочу иметь копию. Я хочу открыть этот проклятый файл и ознакомиться с созданной Танкадо программой. Сьюзан была столь же любопытна, как и ее шеф, но чутье подсказывало ей, что расшифровка алгоритма Цифровой крепости неразумна, какой бы интерес это ни представляло.
Если только компьютер понимает, взломал он шифр или. Сьюзан чуть не свалилась со стула. - Что. - Может случиться так, что компьютер, найдя нужный ключ, продолжает поиски, как бы не понимая, что нашел то, что искал.

Pelosi, speaking at a Commonwealth Club of California event in San Francisco, also dinged Trump over the path to U.S. citizenship (through family-based migration) that was likely taken by the parents of his wife, Slovenia-born first lady Melania Trump.
“I don’t know if merit counted for when his wife’s family came into the country,” Pelosi said of Trump. “I don’t know. Maybe it did. God bless them if it did. But he calls that ‘chain migration,’ which he wants to get rid of.”
“Should we attach a green card to the diploma of so many scientists and engineers and all the rest and graduate students who train in the U.S. so that they can stay here?” Pelosi added. “Of course. But that’s not the point. The point is that the president does not share the view of even Ronald Reagan and two Bushes in recent history.”
Trump outlined his immigration proposals in a White House Rose Garden speech last week. They aim to curb family-based migration and increase the number of visas offered to skilled workers. Several lawmakers have noted the plan is unlikely to garner bipartisan support.

Companies are hoping to tweak their advertising to convince device users not to block them out.
A massive advertising trade group, ad buyer and seller coalition is building a strategy to make mobile ad blockers less popular. Based in the United States and Western Europe, the goal is to urge the industry to cease the use of annoying formats.
They hope that when online and mobile advertising stops making a nuisance of itself, people will stop blocking it.
The use of mobile ad blockers has become highly destructive to the potential ROI of mobile marketing. The popularity of those apps and features stemmed from consumer frustration with traditional online marketing formats. Mobile device users find those ads distracting and annoying to the point that they were willing to take action to stop from having to see them.
The coalition identified several forms of mobile advertising that fall into the category of being annoying. These include auto-play video ads that include sound, pop-up ads, full-screen ads that cover underlying content, and flashing animated advertisements.
When consumers are driven to use mobile ad blockers, the entire advertising industry loses its ability to influence.
As the use of ad blocking features and tools has grown explosively, so has the controversy over advertising practices. The industry has been looking into the decision as to whether to try to control abusive practices or to face being completely walled off by consumers who want to be able to enjoy premium content access without annoying advertising exposure.
The Coalition for Better Ads said it was creating a guideline of voluntary standards. This was a response to a study in which over 25,000 participants rated ads displayed online and over mobile devices. Of all the ad formats shown to the participants, 6 desktop online advertisement formats and 12 mobile marketing techniques were considered unacceptable by the consumers. The study recommended that online and mobile marketers avoid further use of those advertising methods.
The coalition’s focus on reducing the use of mobile ad blockers includes participation from the United States, Great Britain, France and Germany as well as digital ad platforms such as Facebook and Google, in addition to larger advertisers, such as Unilever, Proctor and Gamble, in addition to news publishers like Reuters News, Thomson Reuters, the Washington Post and News Corp.


text: Hollingsworth Park is named after Thomas Hollingsworth, the only firefighter to die in the line of duty in the history of Robbinsdale. It runs along the northern shore of Crystal Lake and is 4.4 acres of lush greenery. There is a fishing doc from upon which you can stand, gaze at the vista, and fish. There are also trails and paths that you can walk upon. There is a memorial to Thomas Hollingsworth in the park that includes a plaque and plantings.

The ultimate footballing body, FIFA has announced 16 host cities for the 24th edition (2026) of the FIFA World Cup at an event in New York City.
FIFA selected 11 cities in the United States, three cities in Mexico and two cities in Canada, as the 2026 FIFA World Cup will mark the first time that three countries have hosted the competition.
The board has listed the hosting cities according to the countries:
UNITED STATES: Atlanta, Boston, Dallas, Houston, Kansas City, Los Angeles, Miami, New York/New Jersey, Philadelphia, San Francisco Bay Area and Seattle.
MEXICO: Guadalajara, Mexico City, Monterrey
CANADA: Toronto, Vancouver
The 16 cities across the United States, Canada and Mexico will host a total of 48 teams and 80 matches under the new expanded format, making it the largest FIFA World Cup tourney in history.
Each of the three host countries had a player representative at the announcement, which was broadcast on FOX Sports 1 and Telemundo, the English and Spanish rights holders, respectively, for the tournament when it is broadcast in the United States.
Chelsea’s midfielder, Christian Pulisic, represented the United States, while Mexico was represented by midfielder Hirving Lozano and Canada by midfielder Jonathan Osorio.
“Together with our good friends in Canada and Mexico, we couldn’t be more excited to work with FIFA to host what we think will be the greatest World Cup in history. I want to congratulate all the bid cities that will host games. I know you will all do a fantastic job of sharing your world class stadiums, unique communities and culture, and amazing fans when the world comes to the North America in four years,” U.S. Soccer President Cindy Parlow Cone said.
The historic tournament that will entertain 48 participants, will take a major change for the first time since 1998, when the participating countries were increased from 24 to 32.


By writing about NB-IoT and LoRaWAN we have so far looked into two huge trendsetters within the Internet of Things (IoT) industry and two major members of the LPWAN technologies family. But what about Sigfox? What kind of energy efficiency can you expect from using this type of LPWAN connectivity?
We have asked Otii user and IoT maker Paul Pinault to share his insights and knowledge about Sigfox transmission and what to expect when looking at its power consumption. Using two sets of devices (addressing two different use cases), Paul gives us two examples of how the power consumption profile could look like. Check out the video below and see how the Murata CMW1ZZABZ (with Semtech SX1276 transceiver) and a Sigfox certified Low Cost device StickTrackr perform when tested.
