Nice class - I liked spending so much time on the roller at the beginning, and the opening/strengthening of the shoulders. Maybe make a note that you use a theraband in addition to the roller? I didn't have one with me, but would have found one if I had known!
Awesome! Brilliant! Fantastic class! I loved it. I just bought a roller over the weekend and thought I must give it a try... Thank you Meredith for such clear instructions that made me feel so confident. This is my favourite class. Jolene from South Africa ;)

From the February 20 edition of Fox News' Fox & Friends:
STEVE DOOCY (CO-HOST): Well, you know, the one thing about the fact that he has revealed that apparently there were these chats between him and [Deputy Attorney General] Rod Rosenstein and others regarding using 25th Amendment to get rid of the president of the United States, you know, you would think that the administration would love that because it continues the narrative that is out there that there's a deep state out there at the highest reaches of government that are working against the president. And then, when you see [former Deputy Director FBI] Andy McCabe on television saying, “Yeah, I had this conversation, we were trying to figure out how to do it,” the president and his team say, “See, that's exactly what we've been talking about the last two years. There is a deep state and he is proving it.”
BRIAN KILMEADE (CO-HOST): He has not had a good answer to the question of why his wife got $680,000 from the Hillary Clinton campaign. They never met, was his answer. For a state Senate race, it's pretty substantial. We also don't know why $140 million goes to the Clinton Foundation, but Hillary Clinton had -- from Russia -- but Hillary Clinton didn't raise up any eyebrows without any of her possibly being compromised by that country. And we also don't know about an investigation that happened July 5 where Hillary Clinton was questioned, but not under oath, with nobody taping it at all. But she doesn't -- no one ever asks these questions to him. And the dossier was the foundation of all of it, barely comes up in any of this cross examination.
DOOCY: Well, he's on a book tour. If he'd like to stop by the couch, we've got a space right here.

Keyshia Cole and Bow Wow were once a thing, but it seems as their relationship didn't end well as, according to the rapper, the "Heaven Sent" singer egged his — or his friend's — car.
Keyshia Cole appeared on The Breakfast Club this morning to explain that Bow is flat out lying, and she wants receipts to show that what he's accusing her of is true.
"No, absolutely not. Show the tape," she said. "Let me see. I would love to see. I mean, he said he had a tape, so that was awesome... I don't know what he said... I haven't spoken to him at all."
Take a look at the clip, below:

(Don Quixote dreams of his Dulcinea. Photo by David Polston)
By Jeff Maisey
The legendary Don Quixote triumphantly rode into Chrysler Hall on Friday, March 25, conquering the hearts and minds of all who attended the phenomenal opening night to the Virginia Arts Festival’s 25th anniversary season.
With the Virginia Symphony Orchestra in the pit, the American Ballet Theater’s production of Don Quixote was exceptional in every aspect, from the dramatic stage settings — especially the windmill and tavern — and the warm, spot-on lighting to the costuming, fascinating main curtain (effects of lighting, imagery and cast) and, of course, the exquisite ballet dancing. Such athleticism; one can certainly understand why the cast rotate roles from night to night during this three-performance stint.
The evening began with opening remarks by Virginia Arts Festival Executive Director/Perry Artistic Director Robert Cross, who then asked the audience to stand as the Virginia Symphony Orchestra played the Ukrainian National Anthem. It was an unexpected, yet rousing start with the audience roaring with approval.
As the house lights dimmed, a brightly illuminated image of a tapestry-like scene from a Medieval jousting match with what looked like a bull in the middle of the ring appeared on the frontline curtain. Don Quixote and his loyal sidekick Sancho Panza appear from behind the see-through screen thanks to a curious topdown lighting effect, with the Madonna-like Dulcinea looking down on the duo as they begin their journey to Sevilla.
During the first of three acts, the audience was immediately wowed by the enormous and detailed scenic set design and introduced to the large cast of characters.
With a classic storyline where two young people fall in love, try desperately to overcome an arranged marriage, and live happily ever after, Act I sets the love story stage with the beautiful Kitri (played by Christine Shevchenko) becoming enamored with the handsome Basilio (Cory Stearns) in a playful back-and-forth of interest/non-interest.
In the meantime, Kitri’s innkeeper father is approached by the flashy, yet unappealing wealthy nobleman Gamache who makes his wishes known all but demanding Kitri’s hand in marriage.
Devon Teuscher (cast as Mercedes) and Thomas Forster (in the role of Espada) do their best in a lively dance scene to keep the aggressive Gamache away from Kitri.
Throughout the dance scenes of each act, the various cast members observe the centered performers and appear to be conversing. These are small scenes within the scene, and is fun for the audience to keep up with all that is happening.
American Ballet Theatre is keen to keep the pace lively with never dull moment.
(The stunning Gypsy Camp scene of Don Quixote. Photo by David Polston)
Visually, Act II was the most stunning in this production. The dramatic, Nightmare Before Christmas-like windmill with the giant orange moon in the background provided a thrilling setting to the Gypsy Camp where Don Quixote realizes he must aid the young lovers.
Artistically, The Dream scene was most enchanting as Quixote lays on his side and majestic maidens dance through his slumber; some appearing ghostly and motionless while others float spectacularly on their tip-toes in pure ballet splendor.
During the well-designed Tavern scene, Basilio comically fakes his suicide — with a wink and a smile — after Kitri’s father forces her to accept Gamache’s offer. Basilio leaps back to life, and everyone rejoices.
It all ends well and in grand style with the final Wedding scene (Act III) where everyone in the village shows off their greatest dance moves — ballet that is.
American Ballet Theatre’s production of Don Quixote at Chrysler Hall was a much needed reprieve from two years of pandemic and a raging new war in Europe. Don Quixote to our emotional rescue, representing ballet at its finest.

Looking back on the 1988 LRA amendments there is little doubt that when the former government accepted the recommendations of the Wiehahn Commission in 1979 they failed to understand the nature and effect of what changes to the employment and labour laws would entail.
In about 1986 this fact was brought home forcefully to the former government and employers when the high court (per Richard Goldstone J as he then was) in the Marievale case confirmed that the newly created industrial court was the sole arbiter of the statutorily created right of ‘fairness’ as opposed to wrongfulness or unlawfulness.
Because the industrial court was not a court of law there was no appeal against its determinations and neither was any common law review possible.
Justice Goldstone quoted from a judgment of Justice of Appeal Neville Holmes as follows:
“There is no appeal against the decision of the Commission. The Legislature has appointed it as the final arbiter in its special field and, right or wrong, for better or worse, reasonable or unreasonable, its decision stands – unless it is vitiated by proof on review in the Supreme Court that-
(a) the Commission failed to apply its mind to the issues in accordance with the behests of the statute and the tenets of natural justice: in other words that, de jure, it failed to decide the matter at all. Such failure could be established by reference to mala fides, improper motive, arbitrariness or caprice. The list is not exhaustive; or
(b) the Commission’s decision was grossly unreasonable to so striking a degree as to warrant the inference of a failure to apply its mind as aforesaid – a formidable onus.”
As an aside the late Arthur Chaskalson and a former Chief Justice was the senior counsel for the National Union of Mineworkers (Num) and the current president of South Africa, Cyril Ramaphosa, signed the affidavits in his capacity as general secretary of Num. Advocate Paul Pretorius SC, the lead prosecutor in the Zondo Commission, appeared as junior counsel for Num.
As a direct result of that judgment the former government immediately proposed to change the employment and labour laws to alter that system and this resulted in severe criticism from many knowledgeable persons involved in the practice and teaching of such law.
Clive Thompson was one of them and this is the article that appeared in October 1987. The law did eventually go through but caused both senior management and trade union leaders to visit the Minister of Manpower in Cape Town during 1989 to seek assurances that the law would be changed back to where it was.
Shortly thereafter the historic Laboria Minute was negotiated and signed in Pretoria and the law was changed forthwith.
After the arrival of the new dispensation and change of government Professor Halton Cheadle was tasked with drafting a new Labour Relations Act which was passed in 1995 and implemented in November 1996.
Refer to the address in 1994 by the then Minister of Labour Tito Mboweni concerning the proposed changes.
Labour Relations Amendment Bill: a sure recipe for conflict
By Clive Thompson and published in the Cape Times on 6 October 1987
If the primary function of labour Iegislation is to mediate the manner in which organized labour and capital exercise power, then the draft Labour Relations Amendment Bill, which is before Parliament, must belong to a contrary tradition.
While certain of the early comments on the bill have been cautiously favourable, a close reading of its terms reveals some utterly perverse features. Some may see it as anti-union but it would be more accurate to describe it as subversive of a coherent and effective system of collective bargaining. It appears to be the product of myopic bureaucrats rather than of ideologues.
To begin with, the bill undermines the critical rule-making function of the industrial court. The Wiehahn Commission envisaged a body that would be able to develop a set of standards for the guidance of all. In this connection, it is noteworthy that more than two thirds of the cases that come before the court involve applications to reverse precipitate and unilateral action by one or other party – so-called status quo applications.
Currently the court can use the relevant provision to strike down rogue behaviour from whatever quarter. In future the unrepentant rogue will be able to carry on regardless as the bill proposes that a status quo order should only be issued if it will “assist the parties in reaching a settlement”. A cunning respondent will always be able to avoid a court rebuff by pleading hostility to settlement prospects.
More ‘significantly still, with the proposed repeal of its special “court of law” functions, the industrial court will be deprived of all powers to hear matters on an urgent basis. An employer seeking to interdict an illegitimate work stoppage or an employee facing imminent victimization for lawful trade union activities will be unable to receive quick relief from the labour court; at best their cases will be ripe – or rotten – for hearings some months later. The draftsman seems to be unaware that industrial disputes nearly always require prompt attention.
The decisions that the industrial court or the special labour court do eventually deliver will remain unknown for a lengthy, period or perhaps even forever, given the secrecy provisions that have been mooted. It goes without saying that it is difficult to develop a body of law under such circumstances.
The bill also offers lawyers a most Iucrative future, not only in the Industrial court but in the new special labour court as well. This comes courtesy of the bill’s contorted and often unintelligible language which threatens the now well-established jurisprudence on unfair dismissal.
The existing case law is clear: No employer may dismiss an employee without a good reason and, unless circumstances render this impractical, without a fair hearing. The proposed definition on unfair dismissal is loaded with ambiguity. A dismissal without good reason, for instance, will be unfair unless the employee concerned has been employed for less than 12 months, but even here the dismissal will again become unfair if it is effected “in any unfair manner”.
When this and other vexed provisions wend their way to the special labour court, as they inevitably will do, the parties will find (if they are corporate entities such as trade unions or companies) that they cannot represent themselves in that forum. Nor can they make do with the services of an attorney.
Only an advocate will be entitled to appear there, duly instructed of course by an attorney.
A troubled issue in labour law today, concerns the position of those unions which enjoy minority support, whether at plant, enterprise or industry level. These unions are typically the established and more conservative ones, although this is not always so. There is a case for minority unions under the banner of freedom of association, but the bill does not make it.
Instead it introduces an insidious contradiction. While bolstering the already entrenched position of minority unions on industrial councils – where they can exploit existing closed-shops and engineer decisions that bind the majority unions and their members – the bill declares that outside of these councils it will be an unfair labour practice for a majority union to press for exclusive bargaining rights.
The conflict that this promises to generate between industrial council and plant bargaining will be nothing short of spectacular. What is more, the iniquity of the scheme will not be lost on the leadership or members of the emerging unions, either now or in the future.
While the emergency regulations reflect the failure of the state to accommodate the political aspirations of South African citizens, the bill’s provisions on strike action bear testimony to the inability of the political economy to meet worker demands. There the points of similarity end for, unlike the disenfranchised and unenfranchised majority, the unionized work force disposes of very real power.
The Wiehahn Commission acknowledged this and advocated a system that would institutionalize conflict. The bill negates this principle. Contrary to the recommendations of a recently released National Manpower Commission report, it perseveres with the crass expedient of criminalizing strike action.
By introducing still more protracted and even indeterminate preconditions to lawful strike action, it naively believes that the phenomenon can be curtailed or eliminated. It is quite probable, however, that workers will perceive that lawful strikes have receded beyond their reach and will therefore resort, to wild-cat strikes, the most uncontrollable species of industrial action.
Uncontrolled is no doubt how the action will remain, for a new deeming provision imposes a presumption of complicity upon union officials that are seen to be involved in the conflict. Unions must henceforth wash their hands of illegal strike action in order to avoid incurring financial penalties.
The bill is not without some redeeming qualities. In principle the formation of a special labour court to reconcile conflicting industrial court decisions at regional level and to lend status to the adjudicative process generally is to be welcomed.
Again, the proposals regarding the streamlining of conciliation board applications through the removal of a ministerial discretion represents a salutary development. None the less, the overall impact of the provisions is retrogressive and ultimately self-defeating, and only the most striking inadequacies have been highlighted here.
The existing act is marked by a surprising sophistication and subtlety in the area of conflict regulation. It has been found wanting not so much because of its own shortcomings, but because of the pressures emanating from a deteriorating political environment.
The legislature, however, does not have the will to address the latter, fundamental predicament. Instead it has allowed lesser functionaries with little grasp of the issue at stake to tamper with a complex scheme of labour legislation. The Department of Manpower could do worse than to rethink the future of the bill in the context of the original recommendations of the Wiehahn Commission.

Trade talk never wavers even after the NFL Draft. And for four-time Pro Bowl running back Dalvin Cook of the Minnesota Vikings, he’s been the subject of potentially being sent away before the 2023 NFL Season.
New Report Reveals Dalvin Cook Is Facing Uncertain Future in Minnesota
ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter reported on Sunday that the four-time 1,000-yard rusher is facing a situation where he may not be on the ’23 Vikings roster.
“I think there is some real question as to whether or not he will be in Minnesota this upcoming season,” Schefter said. “I think it’s fair to say his future is in question.”
Moving Cook means dealing away a back who has a current streak of four straight seasons of surpassing the century mark, including netting 1,173 yards and scoring eight touchdowns last season. Cook also earned his fourth consecutive Pro Bowl nod following the ’22 campaign.

But it’ll also mean trading an offensive piece who’s on a five-year, $63 million deal. Cook also has a base salary that’s expected to be at $10.4 million this upcoming season, skyrockets to $11.9 million for 2024, then increases to $12.9 million for 2025 — the final season of his current deal.
The idea of moving away from Cook points to the Vikings freeing up significant salary cap space. According to Over the Cap, Minnesota has just $1,120,835 in total space.
Who Would Be Willing To Snatch Cook & Take on His Hefty Salary?
With Schefter adding to the belief that Cook won’t be in the twin cities for 2023, the list of potential suitors has begun to sprout up. Even post-NFL Draft, there are teams out there still facing a questionable backfield…and would likely feel intrigued by the possibility of adding the 27-year-old RB.
One of them is the Miami Dolphins. The ‘Fins have been the subject of a suitor for Cook before — back on April 18 via Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald.
“According to a source, the Dolphins are expected to inquire about Cook if he’s released. And though Cook would be fine staying with Minnesota, the Dolphins would be among the teams of interest to him if he’s released,” Jackson wrote.
“The Dolphins and Vikings already have discussed a trade for Cook this offseason, but the trade did not happen in part because the sides could not agree on the draft pick compensation that would go to Minnesota, according to a source.”
Miami didn’t produce a 1,000-yard back during their postseason run. Furthermore, Raheem Mostert is 31 and nearing the end of the line. The Dolphins may want a boost in the backfield, and Cook can provide just that if brought over.
A second option is the Los Angeles Rams. Vikings head coach Kevin O’Connell knows that organization well, having won Super Bowl 56 as the Rams’ offensive coordinator.
While the Rams saw a revitalized Cam Akers in the final three games, the 2020 second-rounder is facing a contract year this fall. Outside of Akers, there’s not much depth, even after the Zach Evans selection.
The Rams, however, had to diligently work to get back to being salary cap healthy (now over $1.9 million in cap space). There’ll likely be some hesitancy on the Rams’ end in taking on Cook’s remaining contract unless they’re able to work out something lesser and get him in an offense he’s already in.
MORE: Kirk Cousins Is the Minnesota Vikings’ Answer for 2023 and Maybe Longer
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are another who present a wanted need in the backfield. The Bucs averaged just 3.4 yards per carry last season and need to replace Super Bowl winner Leonard Fournette. While Chase Edmonds was added, the Bucs don’t have the kind of backfield that’ll win over a lot of running game purists. Cook can change that.
A fourth and final one is this splashy exchange: The Vikes send Cook to the Los Angeles Chargers and gain Austin Ekeler in return. Ekeler has been his own subject of trade rumblings during the offseason. The Bolts didn’t draft an RB, though, which points to working with Ekeler one more time before he becomes an unrestricted free agent in 2024.
Nevertheless, Ekeler would be the perfect running and receiving threat tailored made for the Vikings’ offense, while the Chargers would get a needed physical back with a 1,000-yard history.

Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo has shared a note with investors in which he predicts strong iPhone 13 shipments which are slated to get released in September this year. Apart from new features, the primary reason for increased sales of the upcoming iPhone models is being attributed to the Huawei ban.
Kuo believes that Apple will have stronger sales for iPhone not only in 2021 but also in the next year as well, i.e. 2022. He expects the shipments to reach 230-240 million to 250-260 million units in 2021 and 2022 respectively. In the year 2020, the shipments for the brand reached had reached 195 million.
Huawei’s global smartphone market share has been declining ever since the company has been put on Entity List by the United States, effectively banning the company in the country. It has also made it difficult for the Chinese giant to do business in the smartphone and network equipment business. The company had a market share of 17 percent in Q1 2020, which dropped to just 4 percent in Q1 2021.
For the second half of 2021, Kuo predicts that the iPhone will gain in the high-end market share due to “specifications upgrade” and the “US ban on Huawei.” Apple is expected to announce four new iPhone models this year with a smaller notch, upgraded camera, 120HZ refresh rate, and a new A15 processor.
Kuo estimates that the new 2H21 iPhone shipments will reach up to 88 million units vs. 75 million units in 2H20. He also adds that a new iPhone SE is still on track for next year.
The iPhone 13 lineup will include four models, similar to the strategy used by Apple last year for the iPhone 12 series. The leaks related to the phone indicate that the cameras on the regular models will have a slightly new design while the Pro models will exclusively maintain the

The series’ creative talents include three unnamed writer-producers from The Simpsons may refer to, though producer Claudia Katz and writer Rob LaZebnik, both with Simpsons experience, are working on the series. As well may refer to, Futurama animation studio Rough Draft is doing may refer to the animation is the process of making the illusion of motion and the illusion of change by means of the rapid display of a sequence of static images that minimally differ from each other for this one. Voice human voice consists of sound made by a human being using the vocal folds for talking, singing, laughing, crying, screaming, etc acting veteran Tom Kenny – aka SpongeBob, the Ice King, and a million more voices, has done work on the series as well.

UNESCO to commemorate Vietnamese poets’ birth, death anniversaries
Vietnamese classical poets Ho Xuan Huong and Nguyen Dinh Chieu are among the World Cultural Celebrities whose birth and death anniversaries will be celebrated between 2022 and 2023.
UNESCO approves the commemoration of the birth and death anniversaries of Vietnamese classical poets Ho Xuan Huong and Nguyen Dinh Chieu during its ongoing 41st General Conference in France’s Paris on November 23. (Photo: Vietnam's Ministry of Foreign Affairs)
The decision was made during the ongoing 41st General Conference of UNESCO in France’s Paris on November 23.
Vietnam’s nominations for the commemoration of Ho Xuan Huong’s 250th birth and 200th death anniversaries and Nguyen Dinh Chieu’s 200th death anniversary were approved together with 58 other nominations.
Permanent Representative of Vietnam to UNESCO Le Thi Hong Van said the approval of the nominations show that Vietnamese cultural values have been highly regarded by the international community. It also reflects the UNESCO’s effort to promote freedom and equality for all, particularly in education, she noted.
Nguyen Dinh Chieu, also known as teacher Chieu, Trong Phu and Hoi Trai, (1822 – 1888) was born in Binh Duong district, Gia Dinh province (now District 1, Ho Chi Minh City).
The blind poet was not only known for his nationalist and anti-colonial writings against the French colonisation of Cochinchina and his exemplary teaching, but also a popular medical practitioner. He is a typical example for people with disabilities around the world. Despite the blindness, he studied Confucianism and Oriental medicine from relatives.
His typical work of Luc Van Tien (The Tale of Luc Van Tien) is an epic poem written in nom (the old Chinese-based Vietnamese script) in the 1850s. It is regarded as one of the two most recognisable and influential epic poems in Vietnamese history, besides Truyen Kieu (The Tale of Kieu) by great poet Nguyen Du.
His poems tell about the people’s worries in the wartime, their war injuries and losses.
Ho Xuan Huong (1772-1822), whose name means “Spring Essence”, is also one of the most important poets in Vietnam’s history.
Born and living in the time of feudalism, which disregarded the role of women, she became renowned for her poetic skills, especially for her subtly risqué poems which used double-entendres and sexual innuendos to comment several social, religious and political issues.
A concubine, she had the courage to mention topics which were taboo for women at that time.
Previously, the UNESCO commemorated birth anniversaries of five Vietnamese celebrities, namely President Ho Chi Minh, educator Chu Van An, and poets Nguyen Du and Nguyen Trai./.

The assumption is that Pope Benedict XVI made a mistake.
In the world of politics or business, remarks that set off a firestorm of criticism are considered to be a gaffe, quickly to be withdrawn and hopefully forgotten â€“ even if, or especially if, they are true.
Reactions of some fanatics does not help open dialogue.

The eruption of rage in some quarters of the Islamic world against Pope Benedict XVI requires that several tough things be said.
Painful though it may be, speaking frankly is necessary if there is to be honest and open dialogue between the Abrahamic faiths. Given the reaction to Benedict’s address, though, one wonders if that dialogue is even possible.

Garden Clearance tools are essential tools that every homeowner should have. These tools are essential if you have a yard or garden at home. Some people want to maintain their garden cleaning. Only some appreciate the art of horticulture. However, if you are a gardening enthusiast. You probably know how important it is to take good care of your garden tools.
Maintenance is essential if you want your equipment to last as long as possible. It is not something particularly taxing with garden tools. However, discipline is crucial to maintaining top maintenance. While you should aim to buy quality tools. As they are usually durable, understand that you still need to maintain them properly.
Different types of maintenance are required for garden equipment. Most tools need to be cleaned, sharpened or lubricated to keep them in good condition. To be fair, maintaining top maintenance is not always easy. It is still substantial. Do not worry. Here is a guide to help you keep your garden tools in top condition.
Clean your tools regularly
Garden tools tend to have a high usage rate. Therefore, it is always wise to clean them after each session. In practice, however, this is not always possible, necessary or practical. However, it will help if you try to clean your garden tools regularly. This is especially true for the cutting tools you use most. Secateurs are a popular tool.
They have a high usage rate and tend to rust due to the sap that sticks to the blade. Therefore, you should clean your device with soapy water. It will remove any germs or parasites that may have started growing there.
It is also essential to keep your tools clean to avoid spreading weed seeds. Consider using a brush to remove stubborn dirt from dusty tools. If you do not have time to dry them, brush them before storing them. You should also keep all rags, towels, and t-shirts used to garden Clearance your tools.
Sharpen your tools often
You do not always have to sharpen your tools every time you use them. However, most tools need to be sharpened regularly. Blunt blades, knives, scissors or other tools are ineffective and difficult to use. They can even slow you down on tasks you normally do for short periods. Take lawn mower blades, for example.
Blunt blades can very well reduce the quality of the finished product and can damage the engine. These blades may also need regular lubrication to ensure they move freely. Also, if one of these blades is damaged, make sure to replace it as soon as possible. This is just an example. However, other tools with hinged connections need to be oiled or lubricated regularly.
Cleaning wooden handles
Some people make the mistake of ignoring woodworking tools. Spades, tridents, and loppers are examples of tools with wooden handles. Check them at least once a year to make sure they are in good condition. Inspect the wood for debris.

Here you can find explanations and brief descriptions or explanations about Electric Car Leasing and EV acronyms. If you have any questions about electric car leasing, please call our EV Leasing team on 01494 424242 or email us at email@example.com.
Let's begin with a straightforward one. EV simply means Electric Vehicle, instead of one powered by petroleum. An electric vehicle utilizes electric engines and engine regulators to control the vehicle rather than through petroleum combustion. EVs store power in a battery that controls the vehicle's wheels through an electric engine. Various kinds of EVs incorporate the battery electric vehicle (BEV), plug-in hybrid (PHEV), the hybrid EV (HEV), and the Fuel Cell (FCEV).
Assuming power goes through an electric engine to move - or help move - the vehicle, you have yourself an EV of some portrayal.
A PHEV or plug-in hybrid is a kind of half-and-half electric vehicle. A PHEV joins a petroleum-powered engine with an electric motor and a battery pack. This battery can be recharged at home overnight or at a public charging station.
Plug-in hybrids typically can operate in two different modes: "all-electric," where the motor and battery give all the vehicle's energy, and "mixture," where both electric power and petroleum fuel are employed simultaneously.
BEV stands for Battery Electric Vehicle. In the context of cars, a BEV is a type of electric vehicle that relies solely on an electric battery to power an electric motor, which propels the vehicle. Unlike hybrid vehicles, which use a combination of an internal combustion engine and an electric motor, BEVs operate entirely on electric power and produce zero tailpipe emissions. The battery in a BEV is rechargeable, typically through external charging stations, and the vehicle does not require traditional fuel such as gasoline or diesel. BEVs are considered an environmentally friendly alternative to traditional internal combustion engine vehicles, contributing to reduced greenhouse gas emissions and a cleaner transportation system.
Single Phase Power is commonplace in UK homes and businesses. All standard 3-pin plugs are single-phase and can run an electric car charge point up to 7.4kW.
Three-phase power is frequently found in businesses and modern residential builds. It provides additional voltage allowing for 22kW AC charging.
Simply put, a three-phase charger will charge your vehicle faster but most likely will be more expensive to install.
In the context of electric cars, AC and DC refer to different types of electric power and charging systems:
AC (Alternating Current):
DC (Direct Current):
In summary, AC is the standard form of electricity supplied to homes and is used in onboard chargers of electric vehicles, while DC fast charging is a more specialized and rapid charging method that delivers direct current to the vehicle's battery, bypassing the need for an onboard AC-to-DC converter. The choice between AC and DC charging depends on factors such as the charging infrastructure available, the vehicle's capabilities, and the user's charging needs.
In the context of electric vehicles (EVs), degradation refers to the gradual loss of capacity or performance of the vehicle's battery over time. This is a natural process that occurs with all rechargeable batteries, and it can affect the overall range and efficiency of the electric vehicle. Several factors contribute to the degradation of EV batteries:
Cycling: Charging and discharging the battery during regular use, known as cycling, can lead to chemical changes within the battery cells. Over time, these chemical reactions can contribute to a decrease in the battery's capacity.
Temperature: High temperatures, as well as extreme cold, can accelerate the degradation of lithium-ion batteries commonly used in electric vehicles. Operating the battery in temperature extremes or exposing it to prolonged high temperatures can lead to a faster decline in performance.
State of Charge (SOC): Keeping the battery consistently at a high or low state of charge can impact its longevity. Extreme states of charge, whether consistently high or low, can contribute to accelerated degradation.
Charging Habits: Fast charging, particularly using high-power chargers frequently, can contribute to increased stress on the battery cells and potentially accelerate degradation. Additionally, charging to 100% capacity or regularly discharging the battery to very low levels can impact longevity.
Battery Chemistry: Different electric vehicles use different types of battery chemistries, and each chemistry has its own characteristics. Some chemistries are more prone to degradation than others.
Manufacturers employ various strategies to mitigate battery degradation, such as incorporating advanced battery management systems (BMS) to optimize charging and discharging, thermal management systems to regulate temperature, and warranty programs that provide coverage for a certain level of capacity loss over time.
It's important to note that advancements in battery technology and ongoing research aim to improve the durability and lifespan of electric vehicle batteries, addressing concerns related to degradation over time. Additionally, manufacturers often provide warranties that cover a certain level of capacity retention for a specified number of years or miles.
Autopilot in the context of electric vehicles (EVs) refers to advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) that provide a level of automation in driving. While the term "autopilot" is commonly associated with Tesla vehicles, other electric vehicle manufacturers may use different names for similar systems.

Somedays it is tough to find things that really speak to me that I want to write about. Many of those times, I find someone online has already written about the same topic and it is already great and succinct. It’s like some other author and I were simpatico that day. So I will pass on those ideas and my mind will wander to other things.
But I never tire of asking others about what they think about role-playing. So this time, I interviewed my 9-year old daughter. She has a bit of experience herself with some Hero Kids role-playing action, but she has also grown up around games, many games.
I am just going to ask you some questions and you are going to have to answer me, okay?
Like, what kind of questions?
Mmmm, questions that you should know the answer to, okay?
1. How long have you known about role-playing?
Ummm… forever… because you and daddy.
2. If you were going to describe role-playing to someone, what would you say it was like?
It’s like a game of combat and there is acting too. But not physical acting, just with your voice. It’s an adventure and usually it’s in the past with magic and stuff.
3. What is the most important thing for someone to do when role-playing?
Act in character. Definitely, having things for combat in character would be good. I think acting in character is the best thing you have to do.
4. What is your favourite thing about role-playing?
Definitely, I like acting in character. I like acting and like how I use magic in my games because it goes with my character.
5. What is your least favourite thing about role-playing?
My first game as so boring because all it was, was just combat… and there was one that was just basically acting and exploring. So I liked the most recent one, which was a mix of both.
6. Who do you think should role-play? (I was looking for a general everyone should role-play… but it didn’t happen.)
Umm, I think Olivia or Emily would be good at acting in character. We have games where we make up characters and play.
7. If you could invent any type of role-playing game, what type of role-playing would it be?
Well it would definitely be in modern times, but with magic. There would also be magical creatures. Like taking the magic from the old times and putting it in the modern times. I think that would be a good mix. And you could get rid of all the pollution. You could just make a spell and get rid of pollution. It wouldn’t be all dirty and polluted. You could make the garbage disappear. Could make all the plastic turn into candy because all the plastic on Earth is still on Earth because it doesn’t decompose. So you could eat the plastic that was turned into candy. And it would be yummy too!
8. Is there anything else that you would like to add about role-playing?
I wanted to do it for a long time, so when daddy found Hero Kids… now I have my own little role-playing group with me, daddy, Sammy’s dad, and Sammy.
BONUS: Why did you always want to role-play?
Because, I like combat and that’s why I like superhero shows and I also really like acting so I want to be an actress. One thing I want to be when I grow up is an actress. I like the acting and combat; I like both, so yeah.
I urge you to pose these questions to your own kids. Post the answers in the comments below!
Vanessa is a sarcastic, 30-something wife and mother. She likes things and stuff, but not simultaneously. You can read about how her love of acting led her to become a better role-player here.

If you have a steam account definitely go with steam. It seems like Microsoft store users have a lot more issues then steam users . I have all the aoe de games, aoe 3 legacy edition on steam and I’ve hardly had any issues, as of yet
As far as I know there are no differences with the game, steam allows you to buy a more expensive deluxe edition, that includes the soundtrack and some other things but the game will be the same
I agree with @AgeOfAwesomenes, but that’s just speaking from my own personal experience and observations of conversations in the forums.
I feel like MS Store users have had some odd issues that are harder than usual to diagnose, get responses to, and/or resolve in a timely manner. It’s just a trend I feel I’ve noticed, but it’s just my anecdotal observation and I may be off-base.
A couple examples, though, are:
Early on in AoE2:DE’s life, there was an event (Anniversary Event) where you could get the Photon Man cheat code; however, it turned out MS Store players were not able to get it at that time. They eventually made it possible for MS Store players to get it (Patch 36202), but it was a month after Steam users had already gotten it
It doesn’t seem possible for MS Store version players to enable the 4x and 8x debugspeeds; or at least not as of May 2021. Near the bottom of the thread I link to below, FoughtBird1976 posted this:
Aside from those, there’s been a small handful of error codes and issues I’ve seen crop up that seem unique to MS Store users. I get a sense that the number of players with MS Store version is probably also smaller compared to Steam; so any unique issues or errors that do pop up don’t have as many people in the community having the same issues/errors to discuss, corroborate, or help resolve
Personally, I’ve had a lot of success/fun with the Steam version; not too many bad issues. But I don’t play online ranked multiplayer very much or at all like others do. Depending on who you talk to, your mileage may vary Hopefully at least a few more chime in with their observations/feelings
PS: It’s a little counter-intuitive that the Steam version would be more desirable, since it’s Microsoft’s game. But with AoE2:DE at least, Steam seems to maybe be the safer bet
I had similar problems for the AoE 3 DE African Royals Event. I could not finished it because at some days i couldn’t choose the Hausa or Ethiopians, it said “DLC Available” when i want to choose theme (of course i allready bought the DLC). and also it did not count sometimes when i finished a Event challenge. Even when it said that i completed it in game (Challenge info got green and crossed out). And after that errors i could not try again because the daily challenges was limited… ?! verry annoyig…
BTW: The 60k Challenge, in which u play as ottomans and have to destroy some buildings from other civ. asap to gain over 60k in time, also dont count for me… I did it multiple times and my highscoe is over 63k. I wanted the Golden Bull Icon u earn from that challenge
but so far i always thought that it was glitches of the game and not that it had to do with the retail version … @Darkness01101@AgeOfAwesomenes thanks for your hints. I will definitely get the Steam version
I did Steam. I only pre-ordered because it gave the DotD expansion for AoE2 for free and I was going to buy both that and this anyway.
I think Steam is better and seems to have less issues. In AoE2 apparently sometimes windows store players don’t update and can’t find games against people on the new patch until they go force the update.

Just when you’re getting into the swing of things, something inevitably comes along to stall progress! Betty, my beloved Macbook, is at the Apple doctors at the moment after months of attempting to work with a faulty trackpad. (a nightmare when editing images, let me tell you)
I’ve also moved out of my Cardiff place and back with my parents until I get full-time work. Hands up who hates packing? Yeah, me too…
I’ll get back on track as soon as Betty’s back in town. In the meantime, check out the following:
Sarai of Colette Patterns has touched on an issue I’ve been thinking about lately, sustainability in clothing. Do you make your clothes to last? I try to, but I’ve definitely had a few zips break on me lately…
Julia over at Thread Carefully made a fab dress for her friend to wear at her civil partnership. Check out the results and her progress here.
Zoe’s released her first-ever free pattern! It’s a vest top, a great basic if you need some extra layers in Winter or a cool top for Summer.
Yesterday, the Olympic torch reached Wales. As excellent journalists well-acquainted with what will be dominating the headlines this Summer, some of the CJS boys and I popped to Cardiff city centre to watch someone peg it past with the flame.
The best bit was when we caught a glimpse of Welsh rugby captain Sam Warburton on the bus carrying the torch bearers. PHWOAR
It’s been absolutely gorgeous this whole week and there’s nothing like waiting in the heat for the briefest glimpse of an Olympic torch to make you realise how ill-suited your wardrobe is for Summer. I wore my favourite black jersey pencil skirt and a Me-made, refashioned purple shirt. Using the Sorbetto pattern, I turned a purple men’s shirt into a sleeveless blouse.
Unfortunately, I was cutting it from the same pattern as my leopard print Sorbetto, meaning it’s also a bit of a squeeze around the bust. Sizing issues are always a little bit frustrating, particularly when a garment is a bit too small.
Let me tell you, a tight blouse really isn’t the best outfit choice when it comes to a hot and sticky summer’s day. My future projects are definitely going to be more Summer-appropriate, that’s for sure.
Day two of Me Made May coincides with one of the most anticipated events of a Swansea student’s year – Welsh Varsity.
Billed as the clash of the Welsh titans, essentially it’s a case of Swansea students making their way to the capital city to face old nemesis Cardiff in a variety of sporting events, culminating in a rugby match in the Millennium Stadium.
My student card may class me as a Cardiff postgraduate student, but there was no doubt who I was supporting today…
Alas, we didn’t win. Boo!
Every Swansea ticket comes with a free t-shirt everyone wears on the day to support the ‘green and white army’. As you may be able to tell, ladies normally hack a pair of scissors at them – I’d like to say some sort of design acumen was involved here, but quite frankly, I hacked at the neckline with a small pair of scissors as soon as I met my friends in a Cardiff bar… because I’m well classy like that. I paired it with the wannabe hack pencil skirt, thanking my lucky stars I had something which went with that colour green!
Like many Swansea students, my wardrobe is bloody full of the free t-shirts the Swansea Union events team dish out as part of their busy events schedule. No cash-strapped student is going to sniff at a free t-shirt after all. In fact, I’d bet you any Swansea student taking the Seamless pledge could probably keep their wardrobe replenished on a stock of Swansea union t-shirts alone.
One of my good friends ran for election two years running – he’s set to be President of Swansea Union next year in fact! Anyway, the t-shirts he made for both elections now hang up in his office, one hand painted and stained with oodles of blue paint and the other decorated with fuzzy felt sewn on by his lovely girlfriend. As I said before, clothes hold memories, and you can bet you gain a lot of them as an undergraduate at Swansea.
But, as a thrifty Seamless pledger, I’m dying to get something done with these t-shirts. It would be a little easier if they were plain, but normally they’ve got some schnazzy design thought up by the hardworking team in Uni. Despite this, I hate the idea of them just languishing in my cupboard, only coming out when I need to dye my hair!
If any of you have any cracking tutorials which could help solve my problem, then feel free to send them my way!
Also – REALLY fun story with this photo. My lovely friend Rosie said almost straight away when I saw her: “OOH! What are you wearing today that you made? HAVE YOU TAKEN THE PICTURE YET? Can I take the picture?”
I heart Rosie. See, I have people outside of the blogosphere checking up on me too…
WOAH – apologies for the ridiculous amount of double posts on this one! I was using WordPress’s new post thing and for some reason it decided I wanted to post this like 10 TIMES. Sorry if it clogged your emails!
Have you ever been to a blogger meetup?
I love a good meetup. Last week, I popped along to a Cardiff Blogs meetup, which brought bloggers from all over Cardiff to chat about, well, blogging!
For a while now, I’ve been wondering if we could sort something similar here in Cardiff, but for crafters. Lucky for me, fellow blogger Amy Davies was up for it too and now we’re getting cracking on sorting it out! Basically, we’d like to get crafters together somewhere in Cardiff to chat over a cuppa tea on around a monthly basis.
We know of some crafting evenings already in the city, so there’s some potential interest here, but I thought I’d extend the invitation to Seamless readers – I know you guys come from all over the place, but if you were able to come along, would you?
Amy has a poll up on her blog here to get the ball rolling. The basics we want to know are:
how often you’d like a meetup
where in Cardiff could we go
what day of the week would be best
Apologies for such a Cardiff-centric shout out this time around! I’m thinking if the Cardiff crafting meetup kicks off, we could organise some sort of Seamless pledgers meetup in the future?
Thanks for all your lovely comments on the Meringue skirt, I’m glad the disaster turned out well in the end! How’s Sew Colette going for the rest of you?
In the end, Portas hasn’t recommended this cap, but it was clear she saw an abundance of charity shops as one sign of a high street in decline. She said:
“When a high street has too much of one thing it tips the balance of the location and inevitably puts off potential retailers and investors. Too many charity shops on one high street are an obvious example of this. Funnily enough, too many fried chicken shops have the same effect.”
Despite having her own line of charity shops, Portas pretty much puts them in the same category as the kind of eateries on Chippy Lane. For those of you who aren’t familiar with Caroline Street in Cardiff – it ain’t classy.
Does she have a point?
You obviously know how much I love charity shops, but what did my Twitter followers think?
Overall, their attitudes are pretty positive, yet there is still this overriding perception of charity shops being full of other people’s unwanted items.
How are charity shops doing compared to the rest of the high street?
Research suggests British charity shops are having as tough a time as everyone else on the high street. When I asked you what happens to your old clothes, 64 per cent of you said you donated them to charity, yet some shops are struggling to keep up with demand.
The Charity Retail Association conducts their own research into donation trends and have seen how the recession has affected both sales and donations. After all, if people are buying less clothes in general, then they may not be donating as much.
According to the Charity Retail Assocation’s Projects and Policy Officer, Isabelle Adam, some of the larger charities have had a few problems in this department due to the recession. She said:
“Over the last quarter (July-Sept) the larger charities we surveyed have reported problems with getting sufficient stock. Donations are affected by peoples’ spending habits; if they are not buying in new they are often not prompted to donate, and if they cannot afford to move this also means there is no prompt for a clear-out.”
Charity shops with a difference
It seems then charity shops have double the problem to deal with! But here in Cardiff, there are two clear examples of charity shops who are using innovation and a touch of the crafting spirit to shake off this negative perception.
Best of all? The kind of projects they’re engaging in are the kind Portas wants to see for the entire high street.
Case study number one comes in the form of Oxfam Boutique, situated in the heart of Cardiff city centre. One of a new breed of charity shops, Oxfam Boutique concentrates on high-end charitable donations.
I spoke to Deputy Manager Alec Boyne about the shop, its partnership with Marks and Spencers and their weekly Stitch ‘n Bitch group.
Then we have PreFab Clothing, a retro style charity shop a little outside of Cardiff on Albany Road. When I chatted to David Morris, who works in the store, he emphasised how the shop didn’t fit the traditional mould of a charity shop.
All of PreFab Clothing’s proceeds go directly to the local YMCA project. In fact, David told me he’d gone from having no job and no house seven months ago to a steady job and a home today, all through PreFab Clothing.
There’s one other key aspect to these shops, one which Portas entirely ignores in her report. The fact is, they are playing a vital role in ensuring old clothing doesn’t just end up in South Wales’s swelling landfills.
Recycling at PreFab Clothing
Oxfam Boutique’s partnership with M&S ensures a lot of clothing from a busy department store do not go to waste. PreFab Clothing aim to use everything they receive – whether it’s turning old superhero t-shirts into bags or making pumpkin decorations from unwanted materials.
It’s pretty clear charity shops don’t have to be the kind of places which arrive on a high street when no other retailer can take up some empty space. Oxfam Boutique and PreFab Clothing are more than just placeholders – they’re vibrant parts of the community which do more than just take care of our old tat.
What about the rest of you? Is there a really unique charity shop in your area? If you’d like to write a profile of a stand-out charity shop in your area, email me or comment below.
FIVE. HUNDRED. QUID. Never in my life have I spent that much money on an outfit. Before you all start thinking I went and blew my pledge on an epic shopping spree, I should probably explain.
Over the past few weeks at Cardiff we’ve been working on different features for a Christmas supplement we’ll be putting together next week. Secret Santa style, we had to pick our articles from a hat! My friend and colleague Ellie was lucky enough to pick out women’s fashion, a topic I think all the girls were eyeing up!
A couple of us were asked to be models for the feature, so off we popped to John Lewis (where I saw Ellie Williams from the clothes swap again!) in Cardiff to get suited and booted in some donated clothes for a quick photo shoot in the furniture section. It was a bit surreal trying on various clothing from the department store, because I haven’t been shopping in so long!
Cheeky mirror photo while our lovely make-up artist Nicola does her own war paint!
Ok, so this includes the shoes and accessories, but even £300 or so on a jacket, top and leggings seems a bit much to me. Before the pledge, I’d hesitate before spending £30 on a dress, let alone £120 on a top alone!
I did wonder… could I possibly re-make this outfit myself? The leggings would be easy if I found the right fabric, as there are plenty of leggings patterns around. Take this one at BurdaStyle for example!
The peacock top would be fairly easy to make, but I’d probably go for a cheaper fabric than silk, but with a similar drape! This pattern would actually be pretty easy to draft myself! I’ve already tried my hand at drafting a skirt (more on this soon…), so it’s about time I tried to draft a top! Otherwise, I’d probably use a lengthened version of Goldfinch and Eagle’sPort Elizabeth Pattern.
As for the trickiest part of the outfit… the jacket. I’ve eyed up a certain biker jacket pattern at BurdaStyle since they released it a few years ago, but have always shyed away because I just don’t have confidence in my sewing abilities. They’ve used a very thick woolen fabric for their version here, but the Mango jacket was made out of quite a thin leather. If I could find some leather look fabric which was as soft and comfortable, then theoretically be all set…
Have you ever remade a garment you saw on the high street? How did it go? If not… ‘fess up and tell me what’s the most you’ve ever spent on clothes in one go!
Clothes swapping has become an increasingly popular way to spice up your wardrobe without breaking the bank.
How many times have you bought something on a whim, only never bothered wearing it? I know I have. Everyone seems to have at least a few garments lurking, unworn at the back of their wardrobe. Maybe you bought it because it was on sale or because it fit into whatever trend was en vogue at the time.
Charity shops are full to the brim with unwanted clothes. As they say, one man’s trash is another man’s treasure. This is where clothes swapping comes in. Also known as swishing, clothes swapping has become popular both online and offline, with swapping sites like Big Wardrobe and Swishing popping up left right and centre.
A couple of days after I began my pledge, I went along to my first ever fashion swap, armed with some unwanted clothes rescued from the back of my wardrobe. The concept is simple: you get a certain amount of ‘points’ or tokens in exchange for the items you bring along. After you’ve collected your points, the rifling begins and you hunt down your bargains.
The Cardiff Fashion Swap at the Vulcan Lounge charged only £2 in entry fees, meaning those who brought an armful of clothes got more than their money’s worth. Swappers had brought garments aplenty and we were surrounded with potential swap items. A touch of vintage was represented with a stall courtesy of Vintage Gem Cardiff - a boutique in Radyr I definitely plan on visiting in the future.
On the high street, shopping is made easy for you. After all, it’s in a shop’s best interests to make clothes easy for you to find. Rifling through a mixture of clothes at a fashion swap is a completely different experience. I don’t know about you, but I find it much more satisfying to find a lovely item or two after a good search through clothes rather than the high street’s spoon feeding.
The Cardiff Fashion Swap was organised by recent Cardiff graduate Ellie May Williams with the help of Cardiff’s Oxfam Boutique.She tweets under @elliemay_13, and I’d keep an eye on her Twitter if I were you, as she has an Oxfam Boutique and more clothes swaps in the works. Ellie told me:
“It was lovely to see Cardiff get its swap on! Can’t wait for future swaps, where we’re hoping to get more high quality items and maybe even some vintage pieces so we can raise even more money for Oxfam!”
The night itself was pretty successful all around. Ellie told me they made £100 on the night itself and items left over will raise at least another £150 for the charity. So it’s no surprise Ellie’s planning on holding a few more in the future.
I know what you’re all thinking… what did I nab myself? I didn’t do too badly, nabbing myself a dress and a pair of shoes. Not exactly Winter wear, but hey! It was free and some of my unwanted clothes went to a better home!
People in the Cardiff area should keep an eye out for more fashion swaps. As for those of you from further afield, have you attended any fashion swaps? Or do you organise one of your own? Get in touch, and let me know which items you swapped your way to!
The photos of the event are courtesy of my lovely friend Magda, who blogs here!

I was discharged and told it was Menginism and given Painrelief(although that means neck stiffness in menigitis?)and I was told it wasnt Menigitis? After 24 hours I was back in hospital with a painfull headache and dehydration ,then I was admitted to a ward and I was seen by a ward doctor and had more tests.Also I was seen by a nuerologist who booked me in for a MRI after two weeks in hospital with constant headache I was discharged with painkillers and given information about ESS empty Sella Syndrome which I have read up and has completley confused me although I am going to university to study Nursing and I have lots of Medical books i am still baffled to my constant headaches tiredness and sickness ,I still dont know what properly happened and i am going to see the nuerologist in two weeks but I am worried about going uni in seven weeks I just want it diagnosed properly.

Catalytic α-Allylation of Unprotected Amino Acid Esters

see article for more reactions
The use of catalytic loadings of picolinaldehyde and Ni(II) salts in catalytic α-allylation of unprotected amino acid esters induces preferential reactivity at the enolizable α-carbon over the free nitrogen with electrophilic palladium π-allyl complexes to produce α-quaternary α-allyl amino acid esters. Additionally, the use of chiral ligands to access enantioenriched α-quaternary amino acid esters from racemic precursors is demonstrated.
