Audi has launched a smaller compact SUV alongside the Q7 with a range of on and offroad technology and versatile options for leisure and family use.
Unveiled at the recent Auto China motor show in Beijing, some of the highlights of the Audi Q5 include the seven-speed S tronic dual- clutch transmission and drive select control system.
Measuring 4.63 metres and 1.88 metres in width, the Audi Q5 is just 1.65 metres in height with a low drag coefficient of 0.33.
In keeping with the character of the brand, the Q5 is dominated by headlights on both sides of the large single-frame grille. They can also be fitted with bi-xenon lamps and LED daytime running lights.
The backrests for the rear seats are angle-adjustable and especially easy to fold down by activating the remote release lever in the luggage compartment. It offers access to a second storage area under the floor, then expands from 540 to 1,560 litres in volume.
Optional extras include a rail mounting kit for luggage, a net partition and a luggage compartment liner.
As an option, Audi offers the "rear bench seat plus", which slides 100 millimetres lengthwise to provide a load-through facility. The front passenger seat can be equipped with a folding backrest for transportation of long objects such as surfboards.
Customers have the choice of two petrol and one diesel engine. The 2.0 TFSI has been entirely redesigned. It has an output of 155 kW/211 hp and consumes just 8.5 litres per 100 kilometres. The 2.0 TDI delivers 125 kW/170 hp with an average consumption of just 6.7 litres per 100 kilometres. The most powerful engine in the line-up is the 3.0 TDI. This V6 diesel engine has an output of 176/240 hp.
Audi has however not announced when the Q5 is available in the showroom and at what price.

In a week in which the gold price is trading in the $1,335-per-ounce range, all eyes in the gold industry are focused on Denver.
That is the site of the annual Denver Gold Forum, the most prestigious event centered around the world's largest gold mining companies. The event was held from Sept. 22-25 this year.
What sets this event apart from other events is the participation of nearly all the CEOs of the large gold mining firms along with major gold analysts and institutional investors.
Despite the drop in gold prices so far this year, attendance at the Forum usually falls when gold prices are down, but organizers expected the number of attendees to match or exceed last year's. This indicates that interest in the sector is still quite high.
Gold Price Drop Drives Global Buying Frenzy
The recent gold price drop caused some major losses in the paper gold market, but it's triggered a gold rush for physical buyers.
Ever since the precious metal got clobbered in a two-day period by heavy short selling in the futures market, there has been an unprecedented frenzy around the globe for the actual physical metal, in the form of bullion, jewelry, bars and coins.
In fact, the U.S. Mint announced Tuesday it had suspended sales of its one-tenth ounce American Eagle gold bullion coins for the first time since November 2009, as demand depleted the government's inventory.
The gold bears must be scratching their heads...
Jim Rogers' Prediction on Gold Prices Was Only Half of the Story
In October, legendary Quantum Fund manager Jim Rogers made a prediction about gold prices that left many gold bugs shaking their head.
Although Rogers admitted he wasn't going to be selling his hard assets, he predicted further consolidation and a near-term correction in the metals markets.
Predicting this short-term downturn, Rogers cautioned that gold had been on the rise for twelve consecutive years, a streak that was unparalleled. That was then.
This week, his prediction rang true as gold and silver prices took another huge hit. In the aftermath, gold prices are now down approximately 30% since reaching an all-time high in August 2011.
Why Are Gold Prices Down?
Gold and to a lesser extent silver got hammered pretty hard today (Friday) - leading many of our investors to write in and ask why gold prices are down so much this week.
Gold closed Friday at its lowest level since July 2011. In the last two days, gold was off about $70 and silver off about $1.60 at their worst points.
So what's going on?
Well, in the search for answers I can see a few reasons.
It started Tuesday, when UBS cut its average gold price forecast for 2013 to $1,740 from $1,900. UBS cited risks the U.S. Federal Reserve would end its current QE sooner than expected, a move into equities, low inflation, improving economic growth, and a stronger U.S. dollar.
Then Wednesday, the leaked Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting minutes showed that several members believe the costs of the $85 billion monthly bond purchases outweigh the benefits. We're being led to believe that "many participants" think improving unemployment could justify slowing up on bond-buying "at some point over the next several meetings."
Remember that these are not minutes where members' comments are actually written down word-for-word (like they ought to), these are carefully crafted statements to influence opinion. The Fed is known to try to "manage expectations, so it wants it to look like bond-buying will end sooner than later.
But I, for one, don't buy it.
Goldman Sachs Is Manipulating Gold Prices Right Before Your Eyes
Goldman set the table by predicting a turn in gold prices back in December 2012, which no doubt contributed to the precious metal's 5% decline in the first two months of the year.
At the end of February, Goldman issued a research report that said the big Wall Street bank had soured on the yellow metal, and dropped its three-month target for gold prices from $1,825 an ounce to $1,615, its six-month forecast from $1,805 to $1,600, and its one-year outlook from $1,800 to $1,550.
Then, just yesterday (Wednesday), Goldman doubled down on its negative outlook for gold prices.
The bank's new targets for gold prices are $1,530 in three months, $1,490 in six months and $1,390 in one year.
The double whammy - two downgrades in two months - had its intended effect, as gold prices fell 2%, to $1,558.80, after Goldman released its report. It was the biggest single-day percentage drop for gold in nearly six months.
"If you've ever suspected gold prices are being manipulated, you're not alone - and you're right, they are," said Money Morning Chief Investment Strategist Keith Fitz-Gerald.
The proof is right in front of us.
In Gold, Not Cyprus, We Trust
Global investors had to muster the courage to keep calm as news of Cyprus' proposed partial theft of all bank deposits took Wall Street by surprise, closed the country's banks and drove the gold prices higher.
The thoughtless idea was intended to capture a portion of the $31 billion in bank assets held by Russians. According to the Financial Times, Cyprus has developed a "well-earned reputation for being a haven for dirty money from Russia."
Although Cyprus' government came to its senses and blocked the proposed seizure, the damage has been done. To many people around the world, raising income taxes may be one thing, but changing the rules to steal hard-earned savings from all citizens rattles their confidence. What Adrian Ash of BullionVault says is "most amazing" about this situation is that "small savers are no longer sacred."
It's remarkable to see the response from Cypriots, as they protested in the streets, with "NO" stamped on their palms, demanding the government take its hands off their money. It's refreshing to see their pushback to sanity.
How did this tiny island make it into the European Union (EU) in the first place? The Financial Times gave an insightful background:
"Many EU leaders had been deeply reluctant to admit Cyprus into the union in 2004, without a peace settlement that reunified the island. But Greece had threatened to veto the entire enlargement of the EU - blocking Poland, the Czech Republic and the rest - unless Cyprus was admitted. Reluctantly, EU leaders succumbed to this act of blackmail."
When It Comes to Gold, Stick to the Facts
Gold dipped below $1,600 last week, falling to a six-month low, much to the chagrin of gold investors.
I find the timing of the correction peculiar, given the G20 Finance Ministers Meeting taking place over the weekend. There's been a growing debate over Japan's move to devalue its currency to stimulate growth, with reaction from the G-7 leaders stating that "domestic economic policies must not be used to target currencies," reports Reuters.
While the G-7 tried to legitimize the currency debasement with this statement, in reality, investors seem to be able to see through to the real motivations.
The main reason the mainstream media gave for the correction in the yellow metal is hedge funds' selling of gold late last year. According to quarterly filings, Hedge Fund Manager George Soros sold half of his holdings in the SPDR Gold Trust ETF (GLD) in the fourth quarter of 2012.
Gold Prices: The Yellow Metal's Still a Great Long-Term Investment
There are a lot of moving parts to the gold story so let's start with the biggest takeaway: Gold prices are facing only a temporary setback.
Longer-term, as the U.S. Federal Reserve and other central banks begin to wind down quantitative easing and, more importantly, begin to ease interest rates back up to more "normal" levels, inflation should begin to kick in and drive gold up to new highs, making the yellow metal a great long-term investment.
First, though, let's tease apart the various factors that currently are driving the price of gold lower.
Gold Prices Will Ride Higher on this New Investment from China
You see, currently China's gold investors have few opportunities to play rising gold prices, which they want to do increasingly to hedge against risk and inflation. Most buy gold bars and notes to bet on higher gold prices.
But they will soon have more options.
The China Securities Regulatory Commission on Jan. 25 announced the country's rising gold demand required diversified investment instruments. It announced provisional guidelines for gold exchange-traded funds (ETFs), which have been prepared for launch over the past few years and will be made available soon.
The CSRC said that the gold ETFs would be invested in the spot contract traded on the Shanghai Gold Exchange and up to 10% on other products.
In the future, the funds could be opened up to futures contracts.
"Later on, we will further open up the market and quicken the steps to integrate into the international market," Xie Duo of People's Bank of China said. "We should actively create conditions for the gold market to become integrated with the international gold market."
Here's how this news is bullish for gold prices.

The little gem of the citrus family continues to delight us with its distinctly citrusy flavor and a surprisingly appetizing peel.
Scientific classification: citrus family
Kingdom – Plantae
Family – Rutaceae
Four to five species are currently accepted –
- Fortunella crassifolia ( Meiwa kumquat)
- Fortunella hindsii ( Hong – Kong Kuwait)
- Fortunella japonica ( Nagami Kuwait)
- Fortunella obovata ( jiangsu kumquat)
- Fortunella polyandra ( Malayan kumquat)
A mini orange that originated in china:
Kumquat is a citrus fruit that resembles an orange, except for its shape and size. With sweet edible skin, the mini orange grows best in warm areas but can withstand cold. The slow-growing evergreen shrub bears dark and glossy green leaves with white flowers. With dense branches that sometimes bear thorns, the shrubs are usually fifteen to eighteen feet tall.
Each tree bears 80-100 fruits annually and the trees are hydrophytic too. The term Kumquat is derived from the Chinese words – gam and gwat – meaning gold and tangerine respectively. The fruit originated in China and is cultivated in southeast Asia, the middle east, Europe, and the southern USA.
Citrofortunella – the hybrids:
The hybrids are termed citrofortunella – a few of them being limequat, orangequat, and calamondin. The fruit readily hybridized with the other members of the genus citrus. The fruit season lasts from late autumn to mid-winter. A ripe kumquat has a yellowish-orange tint, it is considered ripe as soon as it sheds the last green tinge. The fruits are green on the insides.
unripe,green kumquat hanging on a tree branch
The dwarf plant that undergoes winter dormancy:
The plant doesn’t go well on rooting and can rarely grow from the other kumquat seeds. Propagation is usually done by grafting onto trifoliate orange hence the name dwarf fruit. The trees enter a state of winter dormancy – they survive through several weeks of warm weather without putting out new shoots or blossoms.
A big nutritional punch encased within a small fruit:
A 100-gram serving accounts for 16-gram carbs and 71 calories, 80 percent weight of the fruit being water. It is less with vitamin C, vitamin A, and potassium. The fruit contains flavonoids which are largely present in the edible peels, phytosterols that lower blood cholesterol, and essential oils like limonene. The flavonoids have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.
The common varieties include – hong kong, marumi,meiwa, and nagami.[citrus family] These are a few distinguished botanical species.
Culinary uses: an easy-to-go snack
Candied fruits, kumquat preserves, marmalades, jellies, and pickles make use of the dwarf fruit. They replace classic olives as martini garnish and are often savored as salads. They are usually preserved in salt or sugar.[citrus family] The fruits are buried in salt beds in a glass jar which causes dehydration.

The fruit then turns dark brown and shrinks in size while the salt combines with the juice to become a dark brown brine. salted kumquats with brine, when mixed with hot water, can soothe sore throats. Preserved kumquats last several years and keep the taste as it is.

Kumquat trees are often used for ornamental purposes.[citrus family] In Vietnam, bonsai trees of the shrub are used as decoration on the occasion of the new year

They are savored as an addition to both hot and iced tea. Liquors are made by macerating kumquats in a clear spirit.[citrus family]

Presentation on theme: "Main Topics Main topics: Solar panel description and characteristics"— Presentation transcript:
0 DC to AC Inverter for Solar Panel Stanislav Arendárik, (Aug 2010)
1 Main Topics Main topics: Solar panel description and characteristics Main parameters of the inverterStructure and block schematic of the inverterBlocks description
2 Solar cell simple description Photons in sunlight hit the solar panel and are absorbed by semiconductor material – silicon.Electrons (negatively charged) are knocked loose from their atoms, allowing them to flow through the material to produce electricity. Due to special composition of solar cell, the electrons are only allowed to move in a single direction.An array of the solar cells converts solar energy into a usable amount of direct current (DC) electricity.source: wikipedia
3 Solar cell characteristics A solar cell may be modeled by a current source in parallel with a diode, shunt and series resistances.IL represents the max current of the solar panel (short current)Diode forms the I-V characteristicShunt resistor represents the leakage currents (very small)Series resistance represents the wiring losses
4 Solar cell characteristics - variations For most crystalline silicon solar cells the change in VOC with temperature is about -0.50%/°CImpact of the product of the series resistor and short-circuit current (ISCRS) is about 25mV/cell.Impact of the parallel resistance is small.
5 Solar cell characteristics example The maximum power point (MPP) on the I-V curve varies with real working conditions – high dependency on the irradiance and lower dependency on the temperature.
6 Maximum Power PointIn the technical parameters of the solar cell panel are defined:VMP – voltage at MPPIMP – current at MPPThe Inverter for the solar cell panel must achieve the operation on the MPP. This method is called as MPPT – maximum power point tracking.The presented inverter has implemented the P&O (perturb & observe) algorithm for MPPT.To get maximum power from a PV panel required operating at the optimum voltage.
7 Selected range of the solar panels The amount of the solar cells is used to build one solar panel. Usually 72, 36, or other.For this design was selected panel with 72 cells, this implies MPP at 36V, which fairly corresponds to 3 x 12V lead acid batteries in series as the back-up for the power source for the inverter. This battery is used as the energy accumulator for the off-grid inverter usage.The characteristic of the selected solar panel:PMAX = 180WVSC = 44.4VVMP = 36VISC = 5.25AIMP = 5A

What is the age of majority in Missouri?
03/30/2007 - Category:Minors - Age of Majority - State: MO #2392
My two teen daughters, 16 and 17, keep trying to tell me that at age 17 they can make legal decisions on their own, that they can have sex legally with someone over 18 without that person getting into trouble. I do not agree. It is my understanding that I am responsible for them until they reach the age of maturity, which is 18 in Missouri. Can you clarify this issue for me?
According to Missouri Statutes, "Child" means an individual under eighteen years of age, and "Minor" means any person who has not attained the age of eighteen years.
“A person commits the crime of statutory rape in the second degree if being twenty-one years of age or older, he has sexual intercourse with another person who is less than seventeen years of age.” While 17 may be the age of consent as far as not causing a man 18 years of age or older to be guilty of statutory rape, children are under their parents authority until they reach the age of 18.

|IF YOUR POODLE IS PULLING AT HIS OR HER LEASH.
You should stop walking. Walking should be a reward
and your poodle will soon learn that when he or she
pulls, the reward will end. You may even try to stop turn
around and start walking the opposite direction. This will
let him or her realize you are in charge and start letting
you be the leader.
|YOU FOUND A MESS ON YOUR CARPET!
Don't correct your puppy unless your catch him or her in the
act. When you do, don't yell, just take him or her to the
appropriate relief spot and thoroughly clean the soiled area.
|YOUR POODLE IS BARKING!
The best way to discourage bad behavior is to withdraw your attention
so stare away from the poodle. When your poodle is quiet, turn around
and reward him or her.
POODLE PUPPIES FIRST AID KIT
Having a pet first aid kit is ideal for home, travel or when
your pet is staying with friends or family. A small plastic
toolbox or food storage container works well. On the
outside of the box write your pet’s name, your name
and all contact information, including your pet’s
Inside the kit you should include:
• Rolled cotton • Scissors
• Cotton balls • Eyewash
• Gauze pads • Tweezers
• Gauze tape • Oral syringes
• Hydrogen peroxide
(check the expiration date) • Emergency ice pack
You may also wish to include a list of any medications
that your pet requires. With this little bit of preparation,
you can always be ready if an emergency happens.
|WHAT IF YOUR POODLE MISBEHAVES?
Don't ever reprimand your poodle by saying his name, his name
should mean only good things. Plus, reprimanding should be done
with an uncommon word used only with your puppy.
Fooie or shssss are some examples.
|A Poodle is a Big responsibility
so as your breeder I will help with
any questions you may have to
select and get prepared for your
And if you have questions during
the life of your poodle just give me
a call or send an email. I will be
very happy to help.
|YOUR PUPPY CHEWED UP ANOTHER SHOE!
Puppies get excited when they see new things. By rotating toys,
he'll focus on something more interesting than your shoes!
|House training your puppy
It's easy to house train your puppy. It just takes a little time and effort.
House training rarely presents a problem with puppies who have been reared under normal conditions. That’s because a
puppy reared with his mother until 8 weeks of age will have learned to move away from his sleeping area to relieve
himself. Puppies instinctively want to be clean, and very few puppies will foul their sleeping area if given the choice.
A young puppy needs to urinate and defecate frequently because he has a very small bladder and bowel. This gives you
as a puppy owner plenty of chances to praise your puppy for performing in the right area, allowing him to learn quickly.
Do not punish your puppy for doing wrong. It’s your responsibility to ensure that you take him to the chosen toilet area as
frequently as he needs to go, generally as soon as he wakes up, after every meal and at hourly intervals. Take your
puppy outside, wait with him until he performs, and then praise him by giving him a snack or playing with him. While he’s
learning, you need to wait with him, so you can praise him at the correct time.
Young puppies will inevitably have “accidents.” It’s important to ignore these, and to clean up well so the smell doesn’t
linger, as this may encourage him to repeat the performance on the same spot. Don’t scold your dog for mistakes.
Rather, reward him when he’s correct, and he’ll soon want to go outside.
It’s also possible to train your dog to urinate and defecate on command. As he performs, add words you choose, such as
“be quick” or “busy.” Your dog will then build up an association of the word with the action. It’s important that you only say
the words while he’s actually performing. Defecating and urinating on command is very useful, as dog owners have a
duty to prevent their dogs from fouling indiscriminately. Teaching your dog to relieve himself in your yard before you
leave your home can help prevent accidents in parks or on sidewalks. Also, always carry a scoop (a “pooper-scooper”)
so that if your dog does defecate in a public place, you can clean it up.
|Grooming your poodle puppy
How to bathe your dog and brush his coat. Patience and gentleness are key!
Regular bathing and grooming of your dog is important. Grooming keeps the dog's coat clean and healthy looking while
allowing you to check the skin for signs of disease or parasites.
Puppy bathing and grooming will need to be done with kindness and patience to allow your puppy to get used to each
The most important thing about bathing and grooming your puppy is to be patient and gentle with him. If the puppy
remembers the bathing as an unpleasant experience, he will become more difficult to bathe as he gets older. You can
get the puppy used to being groomed and handled and accustomed to the equipment such as the combs and hair dryer.
It is best to get everything prepared before you start to bathe your puppy because he may try to get away from you
during bathing! This includes the area where you will wash the puppy, where you will dry it and the equipment you will
Before bathing the puppy check his coat for any skin rashes, lumps and also parasites such as fleas and ticks. If any of
these are found do not bathe the puppy and see your vet for further advice. A warm place will be important for bathing
Have a tub or other container half filled with warm water- not too warm - and make sure you have a ready supply of warm
water for rinsing. Always use a mild shampoo for your puppy. Read the instructions carefully before you use the
shampoo. Have a clean towel available to dry the puppy. This is the best time to get your puppy used to a hair dryer.
Never be rough with a puppy as he will not forget and may struggle every time he is bathed. Gently lift the puppy into the
container of tepid water. Use a clean bottle or jug to pour the warm water over the dog, from the back of the neck
downwards, doing the head last. Start by applying the shampoo to the body and legs. Rub the shampoo well in the coat
of the dog to give a good lather and make sure all the coat has been shampooed. The puppy's head should be
shampooed last, paying particular care to ensure that no shampoo gets in to its eyes.
Rinse away the shampoo by pouring warm water on to its coat. It takes quite a lot of water to rinse the shampoo out of
the coat thoroughly. Your puppy may shake himself vigorously and this will remove most of the water from his coat. Use
a clean towel to dry off the remaining water. This is a good time to get your puppy used to a hair dryer. You can
complete the drying of his coat by using the hair dryer on a low temperature setting. By using a brush with the hair dryer
you can speed up the drying process considerably.
Remember the puppy may not be used to grooming so be patient and gentle if he is frightened. Puppies may need to be
groomed once a week depending on the condition of the coat. Get everything together before you start grooming you
puppy. A comb and a soft-bristled brush will be needed which you should keep specially for your puppy. For small
puppies sitting him on your lap may be the best way.
Poodles require clipping at least every six to eight weeks.
|DOES YOUR PUPPY GET CARSICK?
Puppies tend to get carsick more than adult dogs so
there is a chance that your puppy will grow out of it.
In the meantime, here are some suggestions: Roll
the window down a couple of inches - not far
enough for your puppy to hang his head out, but
enough to help equalize the air pressure in the car.
Keep the car cool inside. Place your puppy where
he can see out the front window. You could use a
doggy seatbelt for this, or place his crate where he
has a view outside. Keep the tone in the car upbeat,
even if your puppy makes a mess. Loud, unhappy
voices when he throws up won't make your puppy
look forward to future car rides.
|Give your poodle lots of love and
attention! Patience is a virtue!

Proposed Boundary Changes
You may be aware that Wiltshire Council is carrying out a parish & town council boundary review. You live in Laverstock & Ford Parish. Your parish council has asked for the boundary to remain intact i.e, Hampton Park, Old Sarum, Ford and Laverstock (including our element of Milford) and for two Wiltshire Councillors to represent our parish exclusively.
Salisbury City Parish Council has narrowly voted to absorb the whole of our parish into the city and so, in future we would pay our council tax to Salisbury and be represented by Salisbury City Parish council and not Laverstock and Ford.
Our survey on this matter has now closed. Thanks to all who took the trouble to vote.
The results will be shown here shortly.
Our Parish Plan outlined the need for the following action:
"The Parish Council will continue to secure representation from the four communities and will seek further ways to improve its association with them for example by rotating the venue of Parish meetings."
Future Parish Council meetings will be held at Old Sarum (Primary School), Hampton Park (Greentrees School) and Laverstock (PC Office at River Bourne Community Farm) on a rolling programmed basis.
The next meeting of the Parish Council will be held on Monday 15th December at River Bourne Community Farm, Cow Lane, Laverstock
Residents are welcome to attend.
Details of meetings and agenda are to be found on our Meetings page.
The PC is providing a table which lists the Planning Applications that have been referred to the Parish Council for their opinion. Applications are generally considered by a team of three
Councillors, but may occasionally be referred to the whole Council. Full details may be viewed on the Wiltshire Council website.
The RESPONSE is the view of the Parish Council and will be considered, along with other consultations, by Wiltshire Council, who will make the decision.

What is an Area Board?
The Area Boards are a new way of working to bring local decision making back into the heart of the community. They are a formal part of Wiltshire Council that try to find solutions for local issues such as road repairs, traffic problems and speeding in villages, litter, facilities for young people and affordable housing.
People who work with the 18 Area Boards include councillors, community area managers, democratic service officers together with one member of the council’s top decision making committee, the cabinet. It also includes the local NHS, fire and emergency services, police, town and parish councils, community area partnerships and many other groups.
By working in partnership with local communities, the council can achieve so much more than it ever could on its own. We hope this will lead to better services, better communities and a better quality of life for everyone in Wiltshire.

Two medics were in the right place at the right time Saturday morning when a woman's vehicle caught fire after she lost control. Balch Springs Police say it happened around 3 a.m. on I-635.
Leonard Smith and Nicolas Miles say they've helped save lives before, but never like this.
Witnesses say they saw the woman lose control of her car in the southbound lanes and land upside down in the median, unconscious and trapped inside as flames grew.
Smith and Miles were driving an Allegiance Ambulance, heading back to their station in Mesquite when they saw smoke. They pulled over and heard someone screaming.
Smith grabbed equipment out of the ambulance, and Miles, a former Army medic, rushed to the driver's door. They knew they had seconds to get her out before the car was be fully engulfed.
"All I did was just stick my arm in there ma'am. Just pulled her the patient out and just moved her over about 20 feet away from the car. Trying to get her as far away from that car as possible," said Miles.
Seconds later, the car burst into flames. Police and firefighters arrived on scene, and the woman, believed to be in her 20s, was flown to Parkland, where she's being treated for burns on her legs, but is expected to survive.
Smith and Miles are still processing those seconds that potentially saved a life, "We were there at the right time and we're grateful that we could help her and she's still here with us today," said Smith.
We don't know the woman's identity, and this EMT and paramedic have not spoken to her since the crash, but would like to.

This track is a prime example. The mellow groove on "Bashir (For the Somali Homies)" takes about ten seconds to get in the pocket, and once it does it stays there for the rest of the song. Stream it below.

A city is made up of multiple perspectives, purposes and modes of organizing. In Is an unplanned city unplanned? Part 3 and Part 4, I showed the purposes for cities that emerge and the ways we organize in accordance with each purpose. In City – a dance of voices and values, I made the connection between purpose/organizing and Hamilton’ four voices of city life: citizens, city managers, city builders and civil society (Figure 1).
Three cities, or three different points in time in the same city, could have completely different ‘maps’ of where their values lay. Imagine dropping the spiral of city purposes on the four quadrants of city voices (Figure 2). Instead of spirals, imagine concentric circles, radiating out from the center, illustrating the emergence of city purposes and modes of organizing. The values in play can be seen and mapped for all four voices of the city.
Here are three examples (Figure 3):
On the left, most city builders value competition and prosperity while a good portion of citizens and city managers have a focus on authority and rules. A portion of civil society puts emphasis on equality. In the center illustration, the City Managers are in “turf mode”, with little power in authority. In contrast, citizens, civil society and city builders appear to be in a position to take advantage of a lack of authority. In the city on the right we see citizens valuing authority and moral codes while civil society and city managers are seeking much less formal structure with value systems that flatten hierarchy. The city builders appear to be in turf-oriented competition. Each map presents a different picture of what is valued in that city, from the perspective of those voices.
Varied purposes of cities, along with their associated levels of organizing that correspond with those purposes, coexist. This means that many modes of organizing are occuring simultaneously. As we organize ourselves in cities, there are people attending to our various collective needs: individual organizations might be in survival mode due to budget cuts; new immigrants assemble to cultivate a sense of belonging and identity in a new place; the fire department responds to emergencies in ‘do’ mode; municipal governments establish order with by-laws regulating on-street parking; the Chamber of Commerce seeks strategic economic advantage; social justice groups demand participative decision-making processes. As a whole, these are activities we undertake to organize ourselves and create habitats in which we will thrive. One of the ways we organize is to plan, where we document where we intend to go and how we think we’ll get there.
When our basic survival needs are met, we organize ourselves with the aim to thrive. As our cities began to grow, there was a point where we saw a need for order. Eventually, we saw a need to create a new profession: city planning. We saw a need to articulate, and document, a desired goal to improve our cities (no one plans for things to be worse) and the details of how to get there. We aim in the direction of making things better, and we identify the steps we need to take to make things better. This is planning in its simplest form. It is work we are all engaged in, as profession planners and as citizens.
Planning our cities is work that belongs to all of us at once. The Integral City model reminds us that we all have a role to play in city life. The city builders organize themselves to physically construct our city and they make plans to do so. Civil society organizes the social and cultural life in our cities; they look after various non-physical qualities of our cities. Citizens, in our day-to-day life bring life to the city with every choice we make, particularly when we follow our passions in our work – whether paid or unpaid. City managers have a role to play to create the minimal critical structure on which cities sit: our municipal government, health services, education, etc. Each of the city’s voices shape the city, all at once, creating a world of messiness and uncertainty because no one entity has control of a city. This understanding is critical for citizens and professional planners alike.
Planners used to be (and some still are, as appropriate) the people that write the plans for political approval. As policy writers, they take direction from city council or propose policy to city council. They ask the public and stakeholders what they think and make recommendations to Council. The policy may be a transportation plan, a facility plan for a school division, a plan for future subdivisions. We, as the public, assign great responsibility to this profession. We also miss-assign this responsibility because professional planners shape and influence our cities, but it is a co-creative process. Professional planners are expected to have the answers – and the recipe – but that is not how planning happens. Planners do not have a recipe, let alone all the ingredients.
In my next post I will explore this question: What is the purpose of plans and planning in today’s context?

How to age well in perimenopause & menopause: 5 Menopause skincare tips
We have one life, one skin in which to live it. Caring for that skin starts from within, particularly during perimenopause and menopause when the skin barrier can dehydrate and become thinner. In this blog co-authored with our friends at luxury natural skincare brand Romilly Wilde, we share our top five tips for supporting skin through perimenopause and menopause - from the inside and outside.
1. Too much stress, too little sleep?
With our Future of Perimenopause research revealing that 90% of women fail to link their symptoms to perimenopause, it can be a time of uncertainty and confusion. With fluctuating hormones comes sleep disturbance and with sleep disturbance, we’re more prone to stress. The combination of stress and menopause can cause dryness, reduction in elasticity and even acne breakouts.
Cue our Perimenopause Support Trio, the foundational supplement for full-spectrum support. Containing Magnesium to support the nervous system, Omega 3 for cell turnover and cognitive function and Vitamin B6 for hormonal regulation and reduction of fatigue, it’s a beautifully curated blend.
Along with supplementation, mindful nutrition and exercise, our nutritional therapists suggest heading outside in daylight hours and going to bed at a consistent time (without the blue light from your phone please!) Why? Because good sleep hygiene helps balance your circadian rhythm, key to an optimised sleep/wake cycle.
2. Menopause skincare and how to support your skin’s collagen
Did you know skin loses 30% of its collagen - the ‘scaffolding’ protein providing structure, support and strength - during the first 5 years of menopause? As collagen declines, skin becomes drier and more prone to the signs of ageing. And that’s where a synergistic ‘inside and out’ approach works wonders in building healthy collagen levels.
Collagen is made from amino acids found in high-protein foods. To help your body convert those amino acids into collagen, it needs ‘co factors’ in the form of Vitamins A, C, B, D, Zinc and phytonutrients.
Romilly Wilde has created a unique biotech synergy of nutrients and bioactives to help support healthy collagen production, minimise wrinkles and give a firmer and more lifted look to the skin. Cue Night Duty, containing Bio Retinol (aka Vitamin A) and phytonutrients, triggering a surge in hydration and encouraging boosted collagen production while you sleep. And Eye Believe, a sculpting eye serum rich in natural plant stem cells to boost cell metabolism and ultimately strengthen the skin.
The perfect hand-in-hand partner with Natural Glow, formulated by our founder Henrietta Norton, to naturally accelerate your body’s collagen, keratin and melanin for a fresh sunkissed glow. How? With Biotin for skin health, Vitamin C for collagen production and Copper for healthy skin pigmentation.
3. Protect your skin from environmental stressors
Pollution, sun radiation and free radicals all play havoc with collagen levels, so incorporating protective antioxidants into your daily routine is a must for a lit-from-within glow.
Romilly Wilde recommends this power pairing: Active Boost Oil by day and Night Duty when you sleep. Active Boost Oil contains a powerful combination of oils, Squalane and plant actives to balance the key epidermis processes affected by oxidative stress: cell renewal, cellular respiration and improving anti-oxidant activity. And Night Duty steps up to support skin cell renewal and promote skin rejuvenation.
And our beloved Natural Glow is quite the anti-ageing warrior with melanin to protect against oxidative damage caused by UV light, while giving us a healthy, glowing tan.
Of course, this section would be incomplete without acknowledging the importance of a good SPF, preferably a mineral one instead of a chemical one.
4. Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate
It’ll come as no surprise to read that hydration is key. The body needs hydration to flush out toxins and to help maintain your skin's elasticity. But there’s more to it than slugging eight glasses of water a day.
Supplements can make a profound difference to the health - and appearance - of your skin. Omega 3 offer great benefits for women, our Pure strength Omega 3 uses a carefully calibrated blend of EPA and DHA for notable benefits to hydration and skin smoothness. And our Skin, Hair and Nails contains Iodine for thirsty skin, Pine Bark for antioxidativity and Vitamin C to promote collagen production. You’ll find both in our Beauty collection.
Add to your daily routine a non-stripping cleanser such as Romilly Wilde’s Light + Energy Serum Cleanser, a lovely formula that nourishes, hydrates and revolumises without disrupting your skin’s optimal pH. And moisturise with Night Duty, proven to improve skin hydration by up to 123% in only 4 weeks.
One final hydration tip: snack on water-dense fruits and veg throughout the day. Berries, cucumbers, watermelon, celery and bell peppers all contain a surprising amount of water and your body will thank you for the extra nutrients too.
5. Eat the rainbow
Diets high in sugar and refined carbs can cause glycation, a reaction which damages collagen and accelerates ageing. The best advice? ‘Eat the rainbow’ – think leafy greens and vibrant fruit and veg to constantly support our microbiome.
The gut microbiome houses 80% of our immune system, and is also known to form an integral part of the skin’s ecosystem, so keeping it balanced is key. Yet the reality of modern life is that processed foods, alcohol, medication and stress just aren’t good for the gut. Fermented foods such as kimchi are recommended but to really tackle the issue, consider a microbiome supplement. Our Multi Strain Biotic is a high-strength formula, providing 30 billion live bacteria per daily intake and nurturing the close connection between a healthy gut and balanced skin. You'll find it in our Gut Health category.
For just £2, you can order Romilly Wilde’s Overnight Recovery Sampler Set containing trial sachets of its bestselling Light + Energy Serum Cleanser and Night Duty.

Championship History Will Be Made.
At least I hope it’ll be made. Let’s be honest. As much as we like Ryback, it isn’t time for him to bag the big one just yet. And as much as we know John Cena will be champion again someday, it isn’t time for him to win the championship back either. This is the era of CM Punk. This is his revolution and the only way he’ll keep his heel heat going is if he continues to reign as our ruthless, tasteless, vile WWE Champion!
Since we’re on the subject of honesty, let’s go ahead and admit that not many fans are really looking forward to Survivor Series. The card looks quite lame with a bunch of rushed matches and feuds that haven’t even started to heat-up yet. I mean R-Truth’s biggest offense towards US Champ, Antonio Cesaro, is a “Knock, Knock” joke. That plus a couple of attacks between the two has led them to this match, which I’m sure Cesaro will win. That belt is being saved for the new and improved Jack Swagger somewhere down the line, so there’s no way Truth is taking it.
I was more interested in the classic Survivor Series tag-match before Mr. McMahon screwed everything up. Team Foley vs Team Punk was really interesting. Unfortunately now we have Team Foley versus Team Ziggler for no apparent reason. Foley’s stuck in that match with zero reason on his side. He has no beef with Ziggler or anyone on Ziggler’s team, but for some reason he has this need to encourage a team whose sole purpose is to beat everyone on the opposition into a mess, which makes the whole match redundant. To make matters worse Foley isn’t even paying attention to Ziggler. He’s more interested in coming out to Punk’s segments and yelling at him than he is at trying to even pretend he’s threatened by Ziggler’s allies. Foley just doesn’t give a sh*t, and it shows.
I think it’s safe to say that the match between Big Show and Sheamus will be a repetition of their match at Hell In A Cell. I like Sheamus, and I think Big Show deserves to have nice things, but their feud is really boring. Don’t even try to be the wrestling purist and explain why it isn’t, because it is. William Regal is caught in the middle of all this for some strange reason. Also strange is the fact that Regal has no defense mechanism. He just gets beat-up by people on a weekly basis and if you pay attention, you’ll notice he doesn’t do anything to defend himself. He just takes it all in like it’s some sort of cruel punishment. This obviously angers Sheamus, who tries to rescue his English buddy all the time, but almost always fails to be around when Regal needs him the most.
And that’s that. I’m hoping Survivor Series turns out better than expected, because right now I’m not expecting much. And hopefully Punk retains the championship to reach a staggering 1-year run! Because frankly, I want to see CM Punk go one-on-one with The Great One. I don’t want to see another Rock-Cena feud and I can’t see anything good happening between Rock and Ryback.
Download and enjoy, folks!

A Delhi court has summoned ten people including Kanhaiya Kumar, former president of JNU Students’ Union, on 15 March in a sedition case. A year ago, the Delhi Police got the permission to file a charge sheet in 2016 sloganeering case of the Jawaharlal Nehru University.
Police in its charge sheet claimed that Kanhaiya Kumar led the contentious march and 9 other people shouted slogans on the death anniversary of Parliament attack convict Afzal Guru on 9 February 2016.
CJM of Patiala House, Dr. Pankaj Sharma Court said that the sanction to prosecute the accused was given by the Ministry of Home Affairs, Government of Delhi in the month of February last year. After which all these accused persons have been summoned and asked to appear in the case on 15 March 2021 by the investigating officer. Besides Kanhaiya, the charge sheet includes the names of Umar Khalid, Anirban Bhattacharya, Aaqib Hussain, Mujib Hussain Gattu, Munib Hussain Gattu, Umar Gul, Rais Rasool, Basharat Ali, Khalid Basheer Bhatt.
Former #JNU student leader #KanhaiyaKumar and nine others are set to face trial in the 2016 sedition case after a court in Delhi on Monday took cognisance of the chargesheet filed against them, and summoned the accused on March 15, reported The Indian Express. pic.twitter.com/oXddm1uUG3— RapidLeaks (@RapidLeaksIndia) February 16, 2021
Charges filed by Police
A charge sheet has been filed against all these people under sections 124A, 323, 465, 471, 143, 149, 147, 120B of the IPC. On 27 February 2020, the Kejriwal government allowed the Delhi Police to prosecute the JNU case. The Delhi government, in its order, said that after observing the charge sheet issued by the Delhi Police, it was found that these accused had committed an offence under sections 124A and 120B of the IPC. It is to be known that both these sections are related to treason and criminal conspiracy.
In a rally during the Delhi Assembly elections last year, Home Minister Amit Shah said that if BJP government comes in power then the prosecution will be approved against Kanhaiya Kumar, Omar Khalid and Sharjil Imam within an hour. At the same time, BJP had also alleged that Kejriwal government of Delhi is deliberately putting a hold on this matter.

text: This paper presents the machining of integral blade rotors (IBRs) made in Ti6Al4V using CO2 as cryogenic cooling. This kind of component is typical in gas turbines, pumps, and other rotary machines. A flank milling technique using polycrystalline diamond (PCD) tools and CO2+minimum quantity lubrication (MQL), denominated CryoMQL, is here presented as an alternative to conventional oil emulsions. The proposed approach implies a balance between technical and environmental issues. Cryogenics makes feasible the use of PCD tools avoiding problems derived from the reactivity of Ti6Al4V alloy with this type of cutting tool, which is directly related to cutting temperature. One key aspect is that CO2 has to be supplied and injected onto the cutting zone avoiding the risks of dry-ice formation, and the consequent clogging of both pipes and nozzles. For this purpose, a new device for CO2 delivery was developed, using gas and liquid CO2 simultaneously.

The maf oncogene was identified by structural analysis of the AS42 avian transforming retrovirus genome. The Maf family is divided into two subclasses, large Mafs (vMaf, cMaf, MafB and Nrl) and small Mafs (MafF, MafK, and MafG). Both subclasses contain leucinezipper motifs, which allow homodimerization as well as heterodimerization with a variety of other bZip transcription factors. Large Mafs also contain an acidic transactivation domain absent in the small Maf proteins. Although they do not possess inherent transactivation activity, small Maf proteins can act as positive regulators of transcription by targeting transcriptionally active dimerization partners to specific DNA regulatory elements. Conversely, small Mafs can act also as negative regulators of transcription by recruiting transcriptional repressors or by forming homodimers that can replace active dimers. Human MafF was isolated in a yeast one-hybrid system from a human myometrium cDNA library. Human MAFF encodes a 164 amino acids proten. Like other small MAFF proteins, it contains an extended leucine zipper structure and lacks an N-terminal transactivating domain. The three small Maf proteins have been implicated in a number of physiological processes, including development, differentiation, haematopoiesis and stress response. Interestingly, these three proteins regulate the stress response via different mechanisms.

text: Evidence of hydrocarbon leakage has been well documented across the SW Barents Sea and is commonly associated with exhumation in the Cenozoic. While fault leakage is thought to be the most likely cause, other mechanisms are possible and should be considered. Further study is required to understand what specific mechanism(s) facilitate such leakage, and why this occurs in some locations and not others. In a case study of the Snøhvit Field, we use seismic and well data to quantify fault- and top-seal strength based on mechanical and capillary threshold pressure properties of fault and cap rocks. Magnitude and timing of fault slip are measured to acknowledge the role that faults play in controlling fluid flow over time. Results based on theoretical and in situ hydrocarbon column heights strongly indicate that across-fault and top-seal breach by capillary threshold pressure, and top-seal breach by mechanical failure are highly unlikely to have caused hydrocarbon leakage. Instead, top-seal breach caused by tectonic reactivation of identified faults is likely to have facilitated hydrocarbon leakage from structural traps. The results of this case study acknowledge the different mechanisms by which hydrocarbons can leak from a structural trap. Employing both a holistic and quantitative approach to assessing different seal capacities reduces the likelihood that a particular cause of hydrocarbon leakage is overlooked. This is particularly relevant for the Snøhvit Field in its dual capacity as a producing gas field and as a carbon sequestration site since both systems rely on a thorough understanding of seal capacity and leakage potential.
