Email: marty.harris at gmail.com
This is a very good example of the 80/90 10v cars. with the exception of the cruise control and the coolant gauge, everything works. ac is ice cold. sunroof, windows, and locks all work well.
The car has 219,000 miles and the odometer works. I installed a head unit that is mp3 compatible and has an ipod interface.
the valve cover leaks very slowly, there is barely a drop under the car even after sitting for a week.
The only issues are a few dents and scratches (nothing bad) and the shocks are starting to go. As was previously stated, the cruise control and coolant temperature gauge do not work.
email me if you have any questions. i am somewhat flexible on price, and am interested in trades for small pickups

Vladimir Orlic’s qualifications for the position of the President of the Assembly include flying a car in a promotional video for his party, getting teachers fired from the medical school in Cuprija, as well as his extraordinary ability to interrupt his interlocutors. Although one’s ability to publicly humiliate oneself for the party and lack of scruples are extremely important for any public function, his ability to prevent anyone from speaking live on air on RTS was what got Orlic a special recommendation for this position. According to the Parliament Rules of Procedure, his duty is to ensure order, meaning to ensure that all MPs are able to speak freely as long as they uphold the dignity of the Parliament.
Already in his first months on the job, president Orlic has shown how selective his sight and hearing can be. For example, he didn’t hear the insults, interruptions and unbearable din caused by majority MPs in an attempt to prevent opposition MPs from speaking. Last week they especially targeted women. By allowing this behavior, Orlic has institutionalized insults and interruptions – disciplines that he is personally a master of – in the Parliament, continuing the legacy of his SNS predecessors.
Of course, this happens only when the majority MPs are doing the obstruction. When the opposition MPs start speaking without approval, and especially when they tell the truth, Orlic suddenly gets all of his senses back.
In a fit of dedication to the Rules of procedure, on the day of the orchestrated attack against female opposition MPs, Orlic issued two reprimands and a suspension of speech to the vice-president of the Democratic Party, Dragana Rakic. Namely, Rakic interrupted SNS MP Ana Belojica, who pointed out that her “party’s policy is to not mention anyone’s children or family because this is sacred for them”. A little later, Belojica stated that “the opposition is jealous of the young membership of the Serbian Progressive Party.”
With her microphone turned off, Rakic stood up and addressed the SNS MP, President of the Parliament Orlic, and the ruling majority:
What children, exactly, are you concerned about? The ones that you kicked out of kindergartens in Pecinci? In the 1990s, you sent my classmates to war. Don’t talk to me about children. I know what it’s like. Shame on you. I will fight you until my last day. You will be held responsible for your crimes. Shame on the government and all of you. I will do everything in my power to put all of you behind bars. (To Orlic, reprimanding her) I can hear and see you perfectly. Do whatever you want, it’s your job to punish us. My job is to fight for the freedom of the citizens of Serbia. I will never give up, never. I will fight you criminals until the end – until Sinisa Mali is in jail. (To Sinisa Mali, who is shouting) Thief, wife beater, you should talk! Shame on all of you!
Posing as a model president, Orlic first asked Rakic whether “she is able to calmly follow the session” and whether it’s possible for her “not to yell” and to “sit properly”. Then, after two reprimands which were ignored by Rakic, he took away the floor from her.
There is a small problem here, however. Dragana Rakic was never given the floor, so it couldn’t have been taken away from her. Article 110 of the Rules of Procedure says that the president of the Parliament, after taking away the floor from an MP, is obliged to turn off their microphone if they refuse to stop talking. As Rakic wasn’t given the floor, her microphone was already off, and Orlic had nothing to take away.
Rakic did violate article 109 of the Rulebook – she spoke without being given the floor, interrupted another MP and spoke to her directly. Hence, Orlic was within his right to reprimand her twice.
Considering that verbal violations of the Rules of Procedure happen so regularly that they are the rule, rather than the exception, it seems the real problem was not that Rakic spoke out of turn, but what she actually said, during a live broadcast on RTS no less: that the ruling party expels children from kindergartens because of political affiliation, that they are criminals with a warmongering past, that the minister of finance is an institutionally protected thief and abuser, that they all deserve to be punished for that. The message that the opposition is there, that it exists, that it resists the regime also seems dangerous.
The President of the Parliament therefore deprived the MP of the opportunity to continue speaking, although after two warnings for procedural violations (speaking out of turn) he could only remove her from the session (Article 111 of the Rules of Procedure). After that, Rakic would be obliged to leave the hall – voluntarily or escorted by the security. The President of the Parliament obviously did not have enough courage to do so. That’s why he did what the SNS is most committed to at all levels of exercising power – he silenced the MP, as he best knew how.
Two things should remain in citizens’ minds after this parliamentary episode. First, the rules do not apply to everyone. SNS is allowed some things that the opposition is not. However, this is nothing new. The other thing to take away, however, is that it is still possible for resentment towards the current government to end up in a program that all citizens of Serbia can watch, despite the microphones being turned off. This requires some will and a readiness to pay a certain price – in this particular case, that being a fine amounting to 20 percent of the MP’s salary (for the two reprimands), or 40 percent (for having the floor taken from her). The fine would amount to 50 percent of the MP’s income in case of removal from the session. A small price to pay for a minute of free speech on a public broadcast.

New in August: Sjón, Tim Murphy, Erin Judge, Steven Gaines, and Jacqueline Woodson
Author: Edit Team
August 10, 2016
August is here, bringing with it a slew of new books to enjoy.
Icelandic author Sjón’s new novel Moonstone (FSG) provides a searing snapshot of queer identity during the early 1900s.
From the publisher:
Máni Steinn is queer in a society in which the idea of homosexuality is beyond the furthest extreme. His city, Reykjavik in 1918, is homogeneous and isolated and seems entirely defenseless against the Spanish flu, which has already torn through Europe, Asia, and North America and is now lapping up on Iceland’s shores. And if the flu doesn’t do it, there’s always the threat that war will spread all the way north. And yet the outside world has also brought Icelanders cinema! And there’s nothing like a dark, silent room with a film from Europe flickering on the screen to help you escape from the overwhelming threats–and adventures–of the night, to transport you, to make you feel like everything is going to be all right. For Máni Steinn, the question is whether, at Reykjavik’s darkest hour, he should retreat all the way into this imaginary world, or if he should engage with the society that has so soundly rejected him.
This month, Grove Press is releasing Christodora by Tim Murphy, a novel that charts the lives of an interconnected group of denizens living in Manhattan:
In this vivid and compelling novel, Tim Murphy follows a diverse set of characters whose fates intertwine in an iconic building in Manhattan’s East Village, the Christodora. The Christodora is home to Milly and Jared, a privileged young couple with artistic ambitions. Their neighbor, Hector, a Puerto Rican gay man who was once a celebrated AIDS activist but is now a lonely addict, becomes connected to Milly and Jared’s lives in ways none of them can anticipate. Meanwhile, Milly and Jared’s adopted son Mateo grows to see the opportunity for both self-realization and oblivion that New York offers. As the junkies and protestors of the 1980s give way to the hipsters of the 2000s and they, in turn, to the wealthy residents of the crowded, glass-towered city of the 2020s, enormous changes rock the personal lives of Milly and Jared and the constellation of people around them. Moving kaleidoscopically from the Tompkins Square Riots and attempts by activists to galvanize a true response to the AIDS epidemic, to the New York City of the future, Christodora recounts the heartbreak wrought by AIDS, illustrates the allure and destructive power of hard drugs, and brings to life the ever-changing city itself.
In Vow of Celibacy (Rare Bird Books), writer Erin Judge spotlights one character’s comedic navigation through the highs and lows of romantic relationships:
Natalie has made a promise: a vow of celibacy, signed and witnessed by her best friend. After a string of sexual conquests, she is determined to figure out why the intense romantic connections she’s spent her life chasing have left her emotionally high and dry. As Natalie sifts through her past and her present, she confronts her complicated feelings about her plus-sized figure, her bisexuality, and her thwarted career in fashion design.
Piecing together toxic relationship patterns from her past, Natalie finds herself strutting down fashion runways and rekindling her passion for clothing design in the present. All the while, her best friend, Anastaze, struggles with her own secret—whether or not to reveal her true identity to the thousands of fans of her popular blog and her potential first sexual partner.
Delphinium Books is releasing One of These Things First, a new memoir from author Steve Gaines, that provides a snapshot of growing up young and troubled in the 1960s:
One of These Things First is a wry and poignant reminiscence of a 15 year old gay Jewish boy in Brooklyn in the early sixties, and his unexpected trajectory from a life behind a rack of dresses in his grandmother’s bra and girdle store, to Manhattan’s fabled Payne Whitney Psychiatric Clinic, a fashionable Charenton for wealthy neurotics and Ivy League alcoholics, whose famous alumni include writers, poets, madmen, Marilyn Monroe, and bestselling author Steven Gaines.
With a gimlet eye and a true gift for storytelling, Gaines captures his childhood shtetl in Brooklyn like an Edward Hopper tableau, with all its dramas and secrets: his philandering grandfather with his fleet of Cadillacs and Corvettes; a trio of harpy saleswomen; a giant, empty movie theater, his portal to the outside world; a shirtless teenage boy pushing a lawnmower in front of a house on Long Island; and a pair of tormenting bullies who own the corner candy store whose taunts drive him to a suicide attempt.
Steven Gaines also takes the reader behind the walls of Payne Whitney, the “Harvard of psychiatric clinics,” as Time magazine called it, populated by a captivating group of neurasthenics who subtly begin to change him in unexpected ways.
This month sees the release of Another Brooklyn (Amistad), author Jacqueline Woodson’s first adult novel in twenty years:
Running into a long-ago friend sets memory from the 1970s in motion for August, transporting her to a time and a place where friendship was everything—until it wasn’t. For August and her girls, sharing confidences as they ambled through neighborhood streets, Brooklyn was a place where they believed that they were beautiful, talented, brilliant—a part of a future that belonged to them.
But beneath the hopeful veneer, there was another Brooklyn, a dangerous place where grown men reached for innocent girls in dark hallways, where ghosts haunted the night, where mothers disappeared. A world where madness was just a sunset away and fathers found hope in religion.

The health, safety and wellbeing of our community is our number one priority. Our events program is now online.
View our upcoming virtual events below. Find out more about the University’s COVID-19 response
The Household, Income and Labour Dynamics in Australia (HILDA) Survey is a record of how we live. It shows researchers many things; for example, how economics affects our lives, or how choices made in the past lead to particular life outcomes. Above all, the survey enables researchers to see how Australia – and its population – have changed over time. The annual HILDA Statistical Report captures the essence of the Survey data, revealing selected research findings from the wealth of information collected since 2001. In this colloquium, Professor Roger Wilkins will highlight some of the key findings from this year’s report, released on 20 November. The presentation will consider what the HILDA Survey tells us about life in Australia prior to the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, and what the report’s findings may mean for our post-COVID future. The emphasis will be on the findings that we might not have known but for the HILDA Survey.
The use of digital technology in mental healthcare has been endorsed by governments and professional associations as a cost-effective and accessible alternative or supplement to face-to-face support. The current pandemic has accelerated this enthusiasm amid the rush to digitalise health and social services.
Yet uncertainty remains about the social, ethical and legal implications of digital technologies, and particularly algorithmic and data-driven technologies, such as those described as artificial intelligence, machine learning, and deep learning.
Dr Piers Gooding will discuss his research on the law and politics of ‘digital mental health care’, including the remarkable under-involvement of people who use mental health services, and the potential for such technologies to change how we experience ourselves and the world.
This online event will commence at 1.00pm AEDT.

By delivering immunomodulatory drugs in vivo directly to lymph nodes draining an injection site, an opportunity exists to increase drug bioavailability to local immune cells. Importantly, particles smaller than 100 nm are efficiently transported through lymphatic vessels to draining lymph nodes. To investigate whether this approach could be used for local delivery of immunomodulatory drugs, amphiphilic poly(ethylene glycol)-bl-poly(propylene sulfide) (PEG-bl-PPS) block copolymers forming 50 nm micelles were used to encapsulate hydrophobic drugs. Micelle drainage was determined using fluorescent micelles and showed effective targeting of multiple immune cell subsets in lymph nodes. For functional studies of our formulations, two approaches were considered. To evaluate the efficacy of anti-inflammatory drug delivery, dendritic cell activation was shown to be prevented when mice were pretreated with micelles loaded with the glucocorticoid mometasone and then challenged with the TLR9 ligand, CpG. To evaluate whether immunosuppressive drug-loaded micelles were effective in prolonging MHC-mismatched allograft survival, BALB/c mice were treated for 14 consecutive days with drug-loaded micelles following transplantation of allogenic C57BL/6 tail skin. Micelles loaded with a mixture of rapamycin and tacrolimus prolonged allograft survival by 2-fold. Our results indicate that the drug-loaded micelle approach effectively targets the draining lymph nodes and exhibits proper immune regulation.

OTEC Advanced Research and Demonstration Prototype
In cooperation with the TU Delft, Bluerise has designed and constructed a room size demonstration of an advanced Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC) power plant. The small-scale working power-extraction cycle (an ‘OTEC demo’) is a ‘proof-of-principle’ and a real innovation, since it will be the first mini OTEC plant demonstrating the chosen advanced cycle.
The feasibility of the complete system has been tested, using the same operational conditions as available in reality from the oceans. System input is warm water of 26-28°C and cold water of 4-6°C. Having a working, demonstrable plant is an important step in the development of larger scale OTEC systems.

Frey confirms Chelsea contact
By Patrick Goss
Last Updated: 01/01/70 1:00am
The French custodian has been in fine form for Parma this season, underlining his reputation as one of Serie A's top performers.
Frey admitted the planetfootball story about interest from Chelsea was accurate, and hinted that his Italian club may accept a sizeable offer.
"I know that Chelsea have moved for me," Frey told L'Equipe.
"I have talked with the board of Parma about it although, for the moment, I don't know exactly what Chelsea have proposed.
"I still want to play with Parma until the end of the season before I move, but I know that they need money.
"In football , things can change."
Chelsea may face competition from Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich for the 23-year-old, but Frey appears to favour a move to England at this point.
"It [Chelsea] is the most exciting contact at the moment, although I am aware of the interest from Bayern," added the goalkeeper.
The current suggestion is that Chelsea will offer around £5 million and in-form Carlo Cudicini for Frey, a deal that is likely to tempt the Italian club.
However, Cudicini's agent Federico Pastorello insisted that he had not been contacted by Chelsea over the matter.
"I have had no news from Chelsea on that," said Pastorello. "I'm not sure that Chelsea want to sell Carlo.
"We will have to wait and see."

I Repaid My personal College loans Early, and i Be sorry
- سبتمبر 21, 2022
- النشر بواسطة: student
- التصنيف: 2 payday loans at once
Repaying my personal student loans very early wasn’t necessarily the leader. Let me reveal as to why.
While i finished from rules college with more than $100,000 during the scholar personal debt, paying off my money turned into something from an obsession. I actually gone back with my moms and dads briefly therefore i could place in most of the dollar so you’re able to loan installment.
Shortly after refinancing my personal mortgage to settle the last away from my obligations — and then obsessively settling one to most amount I might borrowed so my personal student loans would-be gone for good — I finally been successful from inside the retiring your debt shortly after doing 5 years.
Once i was relieved whenever you to latest student loan payment are produced, We today want to We had not paid back they very early. There are some trick reasons why.
step one. I could’ve made more funds because of the spending
My personal college loans had some rates of interest between around 4% to just over six%. When you look at the many years I became paying down my personal debt, they were the brand new yearly yields to your Dow jones:
- 2009 — %
- 2010 — %
- 2011 — 5.53%
- 2012 — seven.26%
- 2013 — %
In all but one of those years, the latest returns I could’ve acquired regarding investing in an index finance you to definitely songs the latest efficiency of your own Dow could have exceeded the new http://onlineloanslouisiana.net savings We created by settling my loans.
I found myself so focused on paying down my personal debt that i even waited first off expenses to possess later years — and this implied I missed out on income tax breaks for committing to a keen IRA. Very my personal chance costs happened to be high.
2. I tied money We could’ve used in anything else
When i was devoting all of the spare money so you can paying off beginner loans, there have been lots of other situations where I got deficiencies in dollars.
Eg, whenever my husband and i purchased all of our very first domestic, we were only in a position to spend a 10% downpayment in the place of 20%. So it required i had stuck with paying personal financial insurance getting 36 months until i sold you to definitely family.
There are also other times prior to now several years whenever We wished we’d more cash protected just like the we necessary dollars for most almost every other purpose — however, i don’t while the We had not lead to the offers membership.
Sure, I am able to obtain using a consumer loan or put instructions into a credit card, but these credit tips perform already been in the higher rates than simply my figuratively speaking. Easily hadn’t come thus concerned about purchasing him or her of, I would’ve had more cash to-do a number of the things I skipped on.
3. I have overlooked on chances to create cost economical
With many some body struggling to pay student education loans, it appears increasingly possible that the government tend to citation some sort of financing forgiveness regulations. If it goes, I will miss out on the chance to acquire some off my loans forgiven — whilst others with high mortgage balances discover its personal debt cleaned aside otherwise less.
In addition repaid my personal loans just before education loan refinancing turned the major providers it is now. Easily nonetheless got my funds, We almost certainly could have been capable re-finance them at an enthusiastic actually lower rates. It means they would’ve produced much more experience to save so it personal debt and you can repay it slow throughout the years.
Make sure you do not regret paying your debt very early
When you’re contemplating paying their student education loans, always consider the chance cost of this option. Any extra currency you put to your early installment of low interest rates student education loans are money you simply cannot invest otherwise have fun with for some thing otherwise. Although you can still determine that repaying the fund renders experience to you, do not get thus focused on that it goal you get left behind towards most other, best activities to do with your money.

Be Not Afraid
by Sarah Jennings, Crosswalk.com Family Editor
Be not afraid. This theme runs throughout Scripture.
Have you ever felt this command unrealistic? Even when life is grand, I am quite capable of mentally cooking up all sorts of horrible, scary experiences that could be lurking around the corner. My stepmother calls this creative worrying “catastrophizing.” Sounds impressive, huh?
Unfortunately, one doesn’t need to have the imagination of a catastrophizer to know fear. There’s plenty of real stuff to keep us awake at night.
Yet God wouldn’t ask us to let go of our fears if that was impossible. He shed some light on my fears a few weeks ago and confirmed for me that, yes, His Word does apply to our daily lives. The lesson resulted from tackling a very basic fear.
Ever since I began horseback riding again, my learning curve has stalled out from a fear of cantering. For those of you not immersed in horse culture and lingo, a “cantering horse” is essentially a “running horse.” It’s not the fastest a horse can go, but it requires focus and control on the part of the rider. In recent lessons, every time I attempted this feat, my muscles tightened, my ankles stiffened, my reigns loosened, and the ground threatened to meet my face.
Now, my fear was based in reality. I had fallen off a cantering horse several times in the past, and it’s not a terribly safe or fun experience. Can you really blame me for being afraid when images of Christopher Reeve ran through my head?
One evening, helmet in hand, I observed others ride while awaiting my turn. As they cantered around the ring, the full truth of my situation hit me. The only danger I faced was... me. My horse never acted recklessly. My skill level was up to par. The only reason I’d come so close to falling off was because when I stiffened in fear, I lost rhythm, balance, and control.
But what could I do? My muscles instinctively responded this way every time – it had been years since I’d found comfort in the rhythm of this stride. I didn’t have answers, but I prayed: “God, I know the truth of my situation. Help me execute what is true.”
My opportunity came soon enough. I squeezed with my leg, and felt the familiar jolt as my horse changed her gait and picked up speed. Sure enough, I instantly stiffened and panicked. Then, in a moment of clarity I whispered a reminder: “You are not in danger.”
Surprisingly, I felt my muscles loosen.
“You know what you’re doing.”
I gingerly lowered myself into the saddle.
“You are safe.”
I pulled my eyes up and away from the ground, and the ring spread out before me.
I cantered that night without losing control. What had once terrorized me now brought me joy.
Now, I’ve never been big into motivational literature or “power of positive thinking” type advice. But how often does fear control our lives because we fail to see and accept the full truth of our situation? How often does spiritual tunnel vision keep us in a cycle of fear and failure, preventing a joyful life lived freely for God?
Yesterday was Gaudete Sunday -- the “pink” Sunday of Advent, the Sunday of rejoicing. It is set aside to celebrate before He arrives, confident in this truth: No matter how dark or scary it is now, our God is good and He will fulfill His promises
Intersecting Faith & Life: What do you fear? Ask God to reveal His eternal perspective to you, and for the grace to hold onto His truth when you feel most threatened.

Terribly sad, incredibly sexy cowboy hustler who loses everything. I know all eyes are supposed to be on Paul Newman, but the Bannons' middle-aged housekeeper, Alma Brown, steals the show for me. She's a fashion icon to be admired. Moreover, I love her role, her attitude, her relationship with the youngest—and that accent!
If you don't know what the movie is about, I might spoil it for you. I don't know why, but I half expected a happy ending... Similar to the Thomas Crown Affair (with equally sexy Steve McQueen)—and I blame mostly the remake for the false assumption of an ending—I really expected love and sunsets into the distance. Hud is like that in that, when the credits began to roll, I hollered, "That's it?!" Though my heart breaks, I'd watch it again just to see Paul pout once more.

The Sample Book makes textile innovation tangible
The Sample Book made at Fablab Amsterdam includes samples of materials and new technologies to communicate the potentials to textile and fashion designers working at our Fablab. An amazing ray of possibilities is made tangible: a zipper as a light switch, a Drawdio-like textile or curling textile by adding ‘memory wire’. Fablab member 'It’s a Cyn' delivered the Sample Book.
Innovations in texiles and technology are rapidly evolving. To show and feel these new possibilities of these ‘smart textiles’ the need for tangible real sample, emerged during the CRISP Smart Textile Services project. As a result, we asked 'It’s a Cyn' to develop the Sample Book. This provides a lot of inspiration for adding electronics in clothing or other types of textile, or adding textile to electronic devices. It’s a Cyn did an amazing job: all the documentation can be found online as well with links to the original sources.
The CRISP Smart Textile Services will be gradually adding materials as well. Actually, It’s a Cyn made two books and we invite you to come to our Fablab, test our Sample Book and add some more.

Now, He's Not AliveQualitative Inquiry (2010)
Through a mini-educational ethnography of a queer cultural center at a midsized, Western U.S. university, I explored the center’s cultural importance on the college campus and in its surrounding community. During the course of this study, one of my gay male participants, an undergraduate student leader of the center, committed suicide. While interviewing several participants (three gay males and one lesbian), I inquired into their feelings about suicide in the gay community in general and into the suicide of the center’s leader in particular. The words of four of my participants are captured in this poem.

- educational ethnography,

Since its introduction in 1978, the BMW 7 Series luxury sedan has remained true to its original character. It is BMW’s top of the line, super sedan. A full-size, rear-wheel-drive executive that represents the pinnacle of technology and luxury in the German automaker’s lineup. Also referred to as the Pride of Bavaria, the 7 series competes with the likes of Mercedes’s S class, A8, just to name a couple.
BMW Malaysia today unveils the 740Li and the 730Li. 2 brilliant variants of the sixth generation 7 series for the Malaysian market. Both variants are built on the new carbon core structure. The L indicates that both the 7s are longer wheel base variants. However, it is the 730Li that is most interesting of the 2 here and for the first time in history, marks the smallest engine ever put in a luxury executive. A turbocharged 2.0 liter 4 cylinder engine that powers BMW’s smaller cousin, the MINI Cooper S. Wow. We’ll get to this one in a moment.
First Lets talk about the 740Li. Physically, this new one hasn’t deviate much from its predecessor. It is more evolutionary than revolutionary design if you noticed. Bavarian Motor Works’ engineers have done an incredible job on the new 7’s chassis and structure. They have solved their previous iteration’s biggest drawback, it’s immense weight. By blending carbon-fiber composite sections with steel, aluminum, magnesium, and plastic, they have now shed close to 200kg. Yes, BMW had just thrown in Supercar equivalent elements into their ultimate luxury lineup.
Technologically, BMW has taken the game to the next level. The front grille of the new 7 series is not a plain and simple grille. This signature part incorporates high tech stuff where the kidney grille as they call it, now act as veins to channel in fresh air for engine cooling and also as an aero centric device for reducing drag. According to BMW, it’s terminology for the said feature is, ‘The all new Air Breather and Active Kidney Grille”
This is the era of portability, and remote access. With that, BMW pioneered a modern day magic wand. They call it the Display Key. With this display key, the all new 7 series can automatically pull in and out of a garage, even within a narrow parking space, all from the palm of your hand, remotely.
The interior of the new 7 series is nothing short of a masterpiece. The back seat has always been the real perk for all top of the line luxury cars. The back seats feature the option of a recline feature, and they come paired with a console-mounted tablet that offers full control over entertainment, climate control, and lighting. LED lighting is of course also on display throughout the interior, and the quality of the leather upholstery on the seats and door panels, as well as the preponderance of chrome, wood, and aluminum trim, have all been improved for the new BMW 7 Series. In order to accommodate extra leg room the front seat can be pushed tight to the dash. The new Bimmer 7 series even boasts a removable 7inch Tablet to control several aspects of the car.
The new 7 series packs an elegant, multi functional, and informative Heads-Up Display as driving assistance feature. So far none known rivals of the 7 series offer a feature such as this.
Like the Mercedes S Class, the 7 series upped their game in the gadget department. The 7 series comes with on board wireless charging , wifi hot spot, and many other cool stuffs. There’s a new iDrive system, version 5.0, which utilizes touchscreen inputs as well as Gesture Control.
So, the next question what propels the new 740i? Under the hood it has got an inline 6 cylinder 3.0 liter gasoline engine that cranks out 320 hp.
Next is the 730i, BMW already added the 730i to their line up in Turkey and China. The 730i shares the same characteristics as the 740i in both exterior and interior. 730i is said to be the entry-model in the 7 series line up because of its engine. It is bolted with a 4 cylinder 2.0 liter turbo charged gasoline motor generating 258 horsepower which is expected to be highly efficient. This is the same unit that powers BMW 225i Active Tourer, the facelifted 330i and the MINI Cooper John Cooper Works.
Both the 740i and 730i engines are accompanied by an 8 speed automatic transmission delivering the power to the rear wheels. All 7ers will come with a standard two-axle air suspension that automatically adjusts body height – with a lower ride in sport mode, Dynamic Damper Control, while for the first time, it will combine four-wheel steering (BMW calls it Integral Active Steering or “X Steer”) with four-wheel drive (on models fitted with the xDrive system).
Both the 730Li and 740Li are available in Black Sapphire, Cashmere Silver, Mineral White and Sophisto Grey. Those who opt for the 730Li could also opt for Jatoba, while Imperial Blue is available exclusively for the 740Li. The new BMW 7-Series will hit the Malaysian showrooms at RM 698,800 for the 730Li and RM 888,800 for the 740Li.
The zerotohundred for the 740i is clocked at 5.5sec and 6.3sec for the 730Li.

Texas Opts Not to Fix $16 Billion Power Overcharge
Utility commission says repricing power markets too difficult, despite recommendation that overcharges during storm be reversed
The Public Utility Commission of Texas on Friday signaled it didn’t intend to reverse $16 billion in electric overcharges that an independent market monitor had flagged as stemming from the state’s weeklong blackouts.
Commission Chairman Arthur C. D’Andrea said it was too difficult to reprice the energy markets and involved too many uncertainties.

Jane Morrow is engaged to Seth Ballantine and looking forward to their wedding day. But when he comes home from Iraq as a quadriplegic everything has changed. Seth doesn't want to see Jane, but Jane is still holding on to her dreams of marrying him. She is determined to honor her commitment by marrying Seth and taking care of him. But when she continues to go see him, it is not as much Seth who changes, though he does, but its Jane who changes as she meets a lawyer who plays the piano in the VA hospital, and a retired doctor who finds out that it is never too late for forgiveness.
While I wasn't totally sure what this book was about when I first looked at it, he cover is what made me what to request it. And this book did not disappoint me. I fell in love with the story. Tatlock wrote a great story that had subtle connections that I didn't totally see coming until she revealed them.
I give this book 4.5 stars.
I received this book from the author herself for the purpose of this review.


Air Mobility Command commander visits 182nd Airlift Wing, Illinois Air National Guard Published Feb. 22, 2019 By Tech. Sgt. Lealan Buehrer 182nd Airlift Wing PEORIA, Ill. -- The commander of U.S. Air Force Air Mobility Command visited the Illinois Air National Guard's 182nd Airlift Wing in Peoria, Illinois, Feb. 22. Gen. Maryanne Miller became the command’s top official in September 2018, where she coordinates total force Airmen and assets in accomplishing the Air Force’s airlift, air refueling, air mobility and aeromedical evacuation missions. During the visit, she met with wing and Illinois Air National Guard leadership for a wing mission brief, discussed the state of Air Mobility Command’s wartime and peacetime operations, and learned about 182nd Maintenance Group innovation and the impact on C-130 Hercules operations. “I thought the visit went very well,” said Col. Daniel McDonough, the commander of the 182nd Airlift Wing. “She asked some really good questions during the briefing and was just gobbling up what we had to say in the hangar about our maintenance practices.” The general also took time to meet and coin some of the wing's star performers — a time-honored military tradition in which leaders recognize troops' accomplishments with the awarding of coins. Coined were: -Master Sgt. Sarah Markham, a services superintendent with the 182nd Force Support Squadron. -Staff Sgt. Hailey McFall, a recruiter with the 182nd Force Support Squadron. -Senior Airman Daniel Schweizer, a mobility air forces integrated instrument and flight control systems specialist with the 182nd Maintenance Squadron. -Staff Sgt. Justin Smith, a security forces specialist with the 182nd Security Forces Squadron. -Tech. Sgt. Brandon Stamm, a cyber systems operations specialist with the 264th Combat Communications Squadron. -Staff Sgt. Dayton Stevenson, an aircraft maintenance craftsman with the 182nd Aircraft Maintenance Squadron. -Master Sgt. Scott Swanson, a cyber systems surety specialist with the 182nd Communications Flight. -Staff Sgt. Greg Terpin, a maintenance management analyst with the 182nd Maintenance Operations Flight. -Master Sgt. Kylie Watkins, a material management specialist with the 182nd Logistics Readiness Squadron. -Tech. Sgt. Tristan Winter, an aerospace propulsion specialist with the 182nd Maintenance Squadron. All the Airmen coined by the general were recognized for their expertise and contributions to the Air Force mission. “It’s just a great cross-section of the wing. Some people from just about every group were highlighted,” McDonough said. “We wanted to show her some of our superstars and each one came with separate strengths. Each one had something that contributed to the mission in a different way.” Air National Guard units typically serve under the command of their respective governors and state National Guard chain of command until being called to federal active duty. At that time, the unit aligns with its active duty command. The 182nd Airlift Wing has been assigned to Air Mobility Command since first receiving the C-130 Hercules flying mission in 1995.


Staff members and students at the University of Johannesburg (UJ), together with staff at the French Embassy in South Africa, enjoyed a fun-filled Sports Day in celebration of 30 Years of Democracy in South Africa on Thursday, 14 March 2024.
The event, which took place at the UJ Soweto Campus sports complex comprising UJ Sport Clubs’ teams’ players from Football, Basketball, Sports for Students with Disabilities, Rowing and Athletics, was also organised to celebrate the build-up to the upcoming Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games.
While South Africa prepares for what will be highly contested elections in May this year, the French nation is also gearing up to stage the Paris 2024 Olympic Games which will be held from 26 July to 11 August. Soon after the closure of the Olympic Games, the Paralympic Games will run from 28 August to 08 September.
Competing in 5-a-side football, athletics (100m, 200m, 800, and 4x100m relays), rowing and weightlifting, the UJ and French teams highlighted sport as an important pillar in molding careers and building long-lasting community relationships.
Celebrating 30 Years of Democracy and the Road to Paris 2024
“We are here to celebrate the fact that France is hosting the Olympic and Paralympic Games later this year, and our 30 Years of Democracy in South Africa. There is a connection between the two concepts – democracy and sports – because they share the same values in uniting people. Today’s gathering also serves as an opportunity and a platform for our University to encourage our students to qualify for the Olympics and the Paralympics,” said Professor Letlhokwa Mpedi, Vice-Chancellor and Principal: UJ.
Prof Mpedi added, “One of our students (Caitlin Rooskrantz) has already qualified to represent South Africa in France and others are also working hard to qualify. Next week, South Africa also celebrates Human Rights Day and, as such, it is quite fitting that we kickstart this partnership today with the French Embassy in South Africa through with our sports stars.”
Echoing the Vice-Chancellor’s remarks, French Ambassador, H.E David Martinon, stated, “This partnership with UJ is an opportunity for us to present and promote the upcoming Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games which will take place during the northern hemisphere summer period. Today’s event is about promoting sports values; mutual respect, inclusivity, human dignity, and effort. We are extremely happy that this important partnership with UJ Sport involves students in various sporting codes, including athletes with disabilities and the students who do not really play elite sport.”
This year, UJ will host a series of events and public lectures on celebrating 30 Years of Democracy in South Africa.
Present at the event were UJ staff members, students, Senior Executive Director: UJ Internationalisation Office, Prof Ylva Rodney-Gumede, and Senior Director of UJ Sport and Acting Senior Director of UJ Student Affairs, Ms Nomsa Mahlangu.

CHOCOLATE CHIP BUTTER COOKIES RECIPE - FOOD.COM
I have a personal list of my top 15 favorite cookie recipes, and this has been Number 1 for years. I cannot remember where I got the recipe from, but it is a good one. I made a platter a few months ago for a friend giving a luncheon at her job, and the cookies were almost gone before people even finished the entrees. People were coming into the room, grabbing handfuls and pocketing them, thinking nobody was watching. I have to admit, I was very flattered! Note: The recipe calls for 4 sticks of butter or margarine. Do not substitute anything else, like oil, or shortening, or applesauce -- it just won't be the same. I use either all butter, or often will use 1/2 butter and 1/2 margarine, with no loss of quality in the results. The recipe halves easily.
Total Time 45 minutes
Prep Time 30 minutes
Cook Time 15 minutes
Yield 64 serving(s)
Number Of Ingredients 6
- Preheat oven to 350.
- It is not necessary to grease the cookie sheets.
- Cream together the butter or margarine with the 2 cups of powdered sugar.
- Add the salt, vanilla and 3 1/2 cups flour, and mix until blended; the mixture should be fairly stiff, so add more flour if needed.
- Stir in the chocolate chips.
- Pinch off pieces of dough, roll into about 3/4" balls (you can make them larger if you prefer), place on the cookie sheets about 2" apart, and flatten with a fork on baking sheet twice for each cookie, making a criss-cross pattern and flattening cooking about halfway.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until just very lightly beginning to brown around the edges.
- Let the cookies sit on the cookie sheet for about a minute, then remove to a rack and dust lightly with additional powdered sugar.
- Dust again when cookies are completely cooled, or store as is, and dust a 2nd time after putting on a platter to serve.
- Makes about 64 cookies; recipe halves easily.

MILLION DOLLAR POUND CAKE RECIPE | MYRECIPES
Just 7 ingredients - and all of them common pantry staples - are all you need for this rich classic pound cake recipe.
Provided by MyRecipes
Yield Makes 10 to 12 servings
Number Of Ingredients 7
- Beat butter at medium speed with an electric mixer until creamy. (The butter will become a lighter yellow color; this is an important step, as the job of the mixer is to incorporate air into the butter so the cake will rise. It will take 1 to 7 minutes, depending on the power of your mixer.) Gradually add sugar, beating at medium speed until light and fluffy. (Again, the times will vary, and butter will turn to a fluffy white.) Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating just until yellow yolk disappears.
- Add flour to creamed mixture alternately with milk, beginning and ending with flour. Beat at low speed just until blended after each addition. (The batter should be smooth and bits of flour should be well incorporated; to rid batter of lumps, stir gently with a rubber spatula.) Stir in extracts.
- Pour into a greased and floured 10-inch tube pan. (Use vegetable shortening or butter to grease the pan, getting every nook and cranny covered. Sprinkle a light coating of flour over the greased surface.)
- Bake at 300° for 1 hour and 40 minutes or until a long wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in pan on a wire rack 10 to 15 minutes. Remove from pan, and cool completely on a wire rack.
- Note: For testing purposes only, we used White Lily All-Purpose Flour.

inhibit bleeding, clear heat
Sample Indications for Use
various bleeding disorders, such as hemoptysis with lung infection, urinary bleeding with urinary tract infection, rectal bleeding associated with hemorrhoids or ulcerative colitis, and uterine bleeding due to infection of fibroids
To Personalise, Add
Pyrrosia 14 for hematuria
Belamcanda 15 for hemoptysis
Tang Kuei 18 for functional uterine bleeding
Gentiana 12 for uterine bleeding related to infection
Celosia Tablets for retinal bleeding
Atractylodes Tablets for ulcerative colitis
Crude herbs are powdered and formed into 700 mg tablets. Bottling of 100 tablets.
Imperata 10 is designed to inhibit bleeding and is based on Ningxue Tang (Blood Calming Decoction), with agrimony, biota leaves, rehmannia, and imperata. From the traditional viewpoint, bleeding may occur when there is too much heat in the blood (treated by cooling herbs, such as raw rehmannia, scute, and imperata). The blood cooling herbs are combined with hemostatics, such as lotus node, cephalanopolus, and biota leaf. Some herbs are said to have both properties: sophora flower and sanguisorba cool blood and are hemostatic. From the modern viewpoint, there are three basic actions that the hemostatic herbs contribute: they can shorten bleeding time by promoting the coagulation of platelets at the site of bleeding; they can prevent bleeding from fragile capillaries (via the action of flavonoids, such as those found in scute); and they can inhibit infection and inflammation that leads to vessel leakage and damage (this may correspond, in part, to the cooling action of the herbs). Bleeding occurs secondary to many disorders, including lack of platelets (thrombocytopenia), ulcerative disorders of the intestines, bladder, urethra, or uterus, and lung and sinus infections. While herbal formulas to inhibit bleeding are suitable for eliminating minor bleeding or for limiting more substantial bleeding, ultimately, the disease that causes bleeding must be resolved. Some conditions, like large fibroids, will continue to produce uterine bleeding even with use of the hemostatics. Tien-chi Ginseng (Pine Mountain) can be used along with or in place of Imperata 10 as a hemostatic therapy; tien-chi (also called san-chi) is used to vitalise blood and inhibit bleeding. In general, blood vitalising therapies and hemostatic therapies can be used together.

Following the retirement of Jupp Heynckes, Bayern Munich appointed former Barcelona boss Pep Guardiola as their new head coach. The Spaniard began life in Munich in the best way possible, winning the league by 19 points ahead of Jurgen Klopp’s Borussia Dortmund.
Schalke and Bayer Leverkusen finished in the top four, with Leverkusen just one point ahead of Wolfsburg in the race for the final Champions League spot.
Hamburg escaped relegation thanks to an away goals victory in the play-off with Greuther Furth, while Nurnberg and Eintracht Braunschweig went down.
Bayern Munich and Bayer Leverkusen had coaching changes before the start of the season. Guardiola returned from a year away from management to take over at the Allianz Arena, and co-coach Sascha Lewandowski stepped down at Leverkusen leaving Sami Hyypia as the team’s sole coach.
However, Leverkusen’s failure to properly challenge at the top of the table saw Hyypia dismissed by April, with Lewandowski returning in a caretaker role. Hamburg’s flirtation with relegation meant Thorsten Fink was sacked and then replacement Bert van Marwijk also was ousted, leaving Mirko Slomka in charge for the last couple of months of the season.
Guardiola’s most important purchase was midfielder Thiago Alcantara, who he had worked with at Barcelona, for €25 million, while Bayern spent even more on Dortmund attacking midfielder Mario Gotze, a €37m signing who provided 10 assists in his first season in Munich.
Luis Gustavo was sold to Wolfsburg for €16m, while Emre Can joined Bayer Leverkusen for €5m, and Mario Gomez left for Serie A side Fiorentina for €15.5m. Dortmund used some of the money from the Gotze sale to sign Armenian winger Henrikh Mkhitaryan for €27.5m from Shakhtar Donetsk and Saint-Etienne forward Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang for €13m.
Sokratis traded Werder Bremen for Dortmund, while Leonardo Bittencourt moved to Hannover. As well as Can, Leverkusen signed Hamburg’s Korean winger Heung-Min Son (€10m) and Inter Milan full-back Giulio Donati (€3m). Andre Schurrle left for Chelsea for €22m and Dani Carvajal went back to Real Madrid for €6.5m.
Schalke took a risk on controversial midfielder Kevin-Prince Boateng from AC Milan for €10m, while just over €3m was spent on 18-year-old Bochum midfielder Leon Goretzka. Borussia Monchengladbach changed their strikeforce, with Luuk de Jong (Newcastle) and Igor de Camargo (Hoffenheim) being replaced by Raffael (€5m from Dynamo Kiev) and Max Kruse (€2.5m from Freiburg).
Wolfsburg made a big signing during the summer, bringing Kevin de Bruyne back to the Bundesliga for €22m following an unsuccessful spell with Chelsea. In addition to de Bruyne and Gustavo, they also signed Nurnberg centre-back Timm Klose and Freiburg winger Daniel Caligiuri.
Bayern Munich easily sealed another Bundesliga title, with new head coach Guardiola falling just one point short of the previous season’s record haul of 91 points. Guardiola’s possession-based side dominated the league, finishing well clear of Borussia Dortmund, who had lost key player Gotze to the Bavarians during the summer.
By Matchday 27, Bayern won the title undefeated - the earliest ever winners of the Bundesliga. With Guardiola also battling for the Champions League, he rotated his squad, losing the next two games against Augsburg and Dortmund - their only two defeats in the league in 2013-14.
Dortmund finished with the top scorer and assists leader as Robert Lewandowski and Marco Reus had brilliant seasons at Westfalenstadion. New signing Mkhitaryan was brought in to replace the creative talent of Gotze, and did well in his first campaign with 10 assists and nine goals.
Schalke started the season slowly, with coach Keller under pressure to deliver, but despite fan outcry, the board kept faith in their boss, and finished third in the final standings after a strong second-half performance.
Leverkusen were the opposite to Schalke, starting well and then falling back. After the winter break, they fell out of the top five, and coach Hyypia was dismissed following a defeat to Hamburg. Lewandowski returned as caretaker and finished in fourth thanks to a win over Wolfsburg on the last day of the season.
That defeat meant Wolfsburg missed out on the Champions League, but fifth place and Europa League qualification was their best finish in five years. Tayfun Korkut saved Hannover from relegation after replacing Mirko Slomka in December, but none of Nurnberg’s three head coaches could do enough to avoid the drop.
Eintracht Braunchweig finished bottom with 25 points, while Hamburg had just two more points, but stayed in the top flight thanks to an away goals win over Greuther Furth.

Can Modi's magic help win BJP allies? Three southern parties to decide soon
The BJP's ability to win over new allies highlighting its PM candidate Narendra Modi will taste its first success when a few parties in Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh join the National Democratic Alliance (NDA).Updated: Jan 02, 2014 15:31 IST
The BJP's ability to win over new allies highlighting its prime minister candidate Narendra Modi will taste its first success when a few parties in Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh join the National Democratic Alliance (NDA).
The first expansion of the NDA after Nitish Kumar-led JD(U)’s exit in July is expected mid-January, which marks the festivities of Pongal and Sankranti in the two southern states.
Vaiko-led MDMK and S Ramadoss-led PMK in Tamil Nadu and the Telugu Desam Party (TDP) in Andhra Pradesh are set to join the NDA.
The BJP also hopes it will successfully woo Tamil actor-turned politician Vijayakanth, who leads the DMDK and is assiduously being wooed by the Congress and the DMK too.
To try its luck in coastal areas, the saffron party finally decided to stay hitched to the TDP led by Chandrababu Naidu than with Jagan Mohan Reddy-led YSR Congress in Andhra Pradesh. Naidu was with the NDA till 2004.
Senior BJP leader Venkaiah Naidu, who is keen for a tie-up with the TDP, is counting on some Union ministers from Seemandhra region to contest under the BJP banner.
In Tamil Nadu, the PMK and the MDMK will formalise their decision to support Modi this week. Vaiko and Ramadoss concluded parleys with central BJP leaders a few days ago.
Vaiko confirmed that he had held talks with BJP leaders, saying his MDMK's main objectives were to remove the Congress-led government at the centre and also prevent formation of any other Congress-supported government.
According to Vaiko, support for the BJP was gaining and a "Modi wave" was visible across the country.
In fact, both Vaiko and Ramadoss had welcomed the BJP’s announcement of Modi as the PM candidate. While Vaiko has pockets of influence in southern Tamil Nadu, Ramadoss' party influence is over the Vanniyar community in northern part of the state.
Besides the MDMK and the PMK, the BJP hopes it could stitch a rainbow alliance by including regional outfits like Kongunadu Munnetra Kazhagam and Thevar Paervai.
The BJP's decision to leading a front of smaller parties came after Modi addressed a huge rally in Tiruchi in September. Its leaders decided against aligning with the DMK due to its image as a corrupt party. Jayalalithaa-led AIADMK made it clear that it was not keen for any alliance with a national party.
The saffron party eyes Kanyakumari, Coimbatore, Tiruchi, Tirupur and the Nilgiris Lok Sabha constituencies it had won in the 1998 and 1999 Lok Sabha polls.
Already, BJP cadres are on village-to-village campaign called "Veeduthorum Modi, Ullamthorum Thamarai (Modi in every household and lotus in every heart)".
It seeks to highlight Modi’s achievements and corruption under the UPA.

By Alistair Smout and Paul Sandle
LONDON (Reuters) - British Prime Minister Boris Johnson on Friday postponed a planned easing of the coronavirus lockdown in England after a rise in infections amplified fears of a second deadly COVID-19 surge.
Just hours after Britain imposed tougher measures on swathes of northern England, Johnson announced that casinos, bowling alleys and skating rinks would remain shut while wedding receptions would have to be cancelled.
"We're now seeing a warning light on the dashboard," Johnson told reporters at an online news conference from Downing Street when asked about a second surge in the virus which has killed more than 55,000 people in the United Kingdom.
"Our assessment is that we should now squeeze that brake pedal in order to keep the virus under control."
The abrupt halt to the unwind and the imposition of stricter restrictions on more than 4 million people were the biggest reversal to date in Britain's path out of lockdown.
'NEAR THE LIMITS'
As the world grapples with the grim realisation that it could be facing a second wave, Johnson said the virus was gathering pace in Asia and Latin America while continental Europe was struggling to keep it under control.
The virus, which first emerged in China, has already killed at least 670,000 people and shunted swathes of the global economy towards collapse.
UK scientists are no longer confident that the reproduction number of the coronavirus in England is below 1, the government said on Friday, while a survey showed infections were on the rise for the first time since May.
England's Chief Medical Officer Chris Whitty, speaking alongside Johnson, said the government had probably reached the limits of reopening the economy and society without creating a rising number of infections.
"We all know that what we have to try and do is to get to the absolute edge of what we can do in terms of opening up society and the economy without getting to the point where the virus starts to take off again," he said.
"We have probably reached near the limits, or the limits, of what we can do in terms of opening up society."

NEW YORK — With Oscar buzz swirling for her star turn in “Black Swan,” a Dior beauty contract under her belt and a film production company poised to release two films this spring, this is Natalie Portman’s moment.
The gamine actress couldn’t be happier with audience reaction to her role in the Darren Aronofsky film. “Your biggest dream, when you make a film, is that people respond to it, and once they see it have these crazy reactions to it and different interpretations and bring their own thing to it,” Portman said during an interview with WWD at the end of long day of promoting her new role as a face for Dior’s Miss Dior Cherie, the first project of what is expected to be a lengthy relationship with the fashion house.
Earlier, on a soundstage at Chelsea Piers’ Pier 59, she had participated in a question-and-answer session before a group of 120 journalists from more than eight countries. What emerged was a portrait of a highly accomplished 29-year-old woman who puts a high value on a strong sense of self and ethics.
“I think true elegance is just comfort in oneself,” said Portman. “When there is no posturing or posing, just when you are being who you are and not posing.”
Those feelings spilled over into her attitude about her “Black Swan” role. “Obviously, people will go to great lengths when they’re competitive,” she said. “For me personally, I think it maybe was more of an issue when I was in my early 20s. Now it is not. Everyone has their own unique place in the world. Competition is invented. For women in general, it’s certainly a persistent theme, because in ‘Black Swan,’ it sort of represents the world at large for women — where one woman gets a little too old, and one of them is replaced by a younger woman who is the newer model. It’s very easy to step out of that if women reject that themselves, as a construct.”
In the thriller, Portman plays Nina, a ballerina in a New York City ballet company whose life is completely consumed with dance. When the ballet’s artistic director (Vincent Cassel) decides to replace the prima ballerina (Winona Ryder), Portman’s Nina faces stiff competition to be Ryder’s replacement from a new dancer (Mila Kunis) — resulting in Nina getting in touch with her dark side. The film opened in just 18 theaters in the U.S. on Dec. 3, raking in $1.44 million for a per-theater average of $80,212. By Dec. 22, the movie is expected to be in about 1,000 screens.
Portman peeled 20 pounds off her already slender frame to play the role, but admits gaining it back came far easier. “I ate and I didn’t work out immediately after doing eight hours of exercise a day and not eating enough, it wasn’t really difficult,” she said. “I think it took me three days to look normal again.”
The development process for the film spanned a decade. “Darren and I first talked about it in 2000 or 2001 — I was still in college,” said Portman, who graduated from Harvard in 2003. “He described that he wanted to do this sort of thriller about the ego and the artist, set in the ballet world. And he had this idea in his mind, but there was no script. I kept talking to him year after year, saying, ‘What’s going on with that?’ whenever we would bump into each other.” The on-again, off-again financing threw the timing off, which didn’t bother Portman, who as a result got in a full year of ballet training.
She admitted that a big help was the design duo behind Rodarte, Kate and Laura Mulleavy. “They did the ballet costumes, and they were just exquisite — they really helped me feel like I was transforming into a ballet dancer and into a swan for the film,” said Portman.
In addition to her movie roles, Portman develops and produces films. Her Handsomecharlie Films — which takes its name from her departed terrier mutt, who in turn took his name from one of Portman’s heroes, Charlie Chaplin — is poised to launch two films in 2011: January’s “No Strings Attached,” in which the actress will star, and “Hesher,” coming in March. Portman is especially passionate about creating stronger comedic roles for women. “I just think it’s more challenging to find good female roles in comedies, and lighter material. The lighter material tends to give women fluffy roles — so much of female comedy is about, like, girls buying shoes, or wanting to just get married and wear nice clothes, and isn’t celebrating women’s personalities quite as much. With dramatic things, women can have a complex range of emotions and a complex range of characteristics. This year, I was very lucky to have two opportunities to have great female comedic characters.”
Portman is also keen to foster up-and-comers in the film business. “There are really amazing female writers coming out, who are writing women who can just be funny and not have to be stuck in sexist clichés,” she said. “It’s been really fun getting to produce also, because then you get to find these writers and also find these amazing young actresses like Olivia Thirlby and Lena Dunham. There are really amazing people out there writing, like Liz Meriwether, who is a 26-year-old woman who wrote ‘No Strings Attached.’ It’s one of the best things, to get to support new talent — whether it’s new directors, writers or actors.”
