It has been quite the week for football fans - and Sky Bet League One didn't disappoint this weekend.
The ten match mark has been met with excitement in some quarters (ahem, Bristol) and trepidation in others (apologies, Crewe), but the season has been an exciting and frenetic one thus far with no signs of the quality decreasing.
October will meet us in midweek as the sides line up for yet another round of fixtures, but who benefited from this weekend's action in the division? There was a top of the table clash - and a relegation six-pointer! Oh, fixture computer, you really do spoil us.
We analysed the team's fortunes. Do you agree?
Managerless Leyton Orient were powerless to stop Rochdale securing their third win on the trot as a Matty Done brace helped them on their way to a 3-2 win at the O's.
The ten men of Rochdale struggled to contain Leyton Orient after going a goal up inside of four minutes, before McAnuff and Vincelot scored either side of a saved penalty for the home side.
Rochdale fought back, though, and now reach the top five with nine points from nine. Positive times for Dale - who found themselves down to ten men before grinding out a victory after Done's winner.
Things weren't so positive for the Tykes.
Barnsley fell to three second half Swindon goals and now fall into the relegation zone alongside Port Vale, Scunthorpe and Crewe.
M'Voto and Devante Cole went close for the home side but goals from Nathan Byrne, Jake Reeves and Andy Williams were enough to condemn the Oakwell side.
Swindon, meanwhile, have gone seven unbeaten now.
Winner: Joe Garner
Coventry City boss Steven Pressley spoke of Preston North End striker Joe Garner's threat in his pre-match press conference - but the Scot wasn't entirely complimentary.
"He throws himself around too easily," the former Celtic defender said, and he was proved right when Garner fell under a challenge from Seb Hines at the Ricoh Arena and coolly dispatched the penalty to seal a 2-0 win for North End.
The Sky Blues are struggling. The #RicohReturn hype has all but evaporated, leaving three defeats in a row for Pressley and his side.
Loser: Chesterfield's attack
Veteran goalkeeper Roy Carroll was Notts County's man of the match as Chesterfield did all they could to turn a point into three this weekend.
The former Man United shot-stopper was equal to efforts from Daniel Johnson, Dan Gardner and League One top scorer Eoin Doyle.
Chesterfield boss Paul Cook spoke after the 1-1 draw, saying: "To be fair to the keeper, he was sensational and that's why he's an international standard".
Winner: Ashton Gate
Bristol City fans were treated to a thriller between the two best sides in the division on Saturday, with the home side savouring three points as they narrowly edged out MK Dons by a 3-2 scoreline.
Kieran Agard scored two first-half goals to seemingly put the league leaders out of sight, but Dons fought back with goals from Dean Bowditch and starlet Benik Afobe.
The visitors were left gutted when they conceded the decisive goal just sixty seconds after scoring, though, as Wade Elliott atoned for an earlier error to drive a shot home past Martin.
Loser: Karl Robinson
Having seen his side come back from a 2-0 deficit at half-time to draw level, Karl Robinson will be livid at the way his side let Bristol City in just after pegging them back.
The old adage is that you are never more vulnerable than when you've just scored, and that was certainly the case at Ashton Gate as Elliott pounced on a tiring Dons defence to stretch their lead at the top of the table to five points.
Winner: Tony Humes
Relatively new Colchester boss Tony Humes oversaw his side in a bottom-of-the-table battle with Crewe this weekend.
He will be delighted in the industry and work ethic his players showed, with Colchester running out 3-0 winners to instill a bit of belief in their supporters after just one win in their previous nine games.
Colchester have lifted themselves out of danger - for now - while Crewe have just four points from their season so far. Next up? Notts County.

Anna McCullough Tyler lectured widely on art and art history and, as a working artist, created abstract monoprints that were exhibited in shows in Chicago and around the country.
Mrs. Tyler, 79, died of pancreatic cancer on Sunday, Nov. 29, in NorthShore University HealthSystem's Evanston Hospital, said her daughter, Ami Tyler-Herzon.
While she also painted, Mrs. Tyler's primary medium was the monoprint. From her studio in her Rogers Park home, she inked designs on a plate-like surface, then pressed a piece of paper onto it, creating the print.
As its name implies, monoprints are unique designs whose final appearance even the artist might not fully realize until removing the paper, because of differences in pressure and ways the ink takes.
"It's a one-shot deal, once you do it, it comes out as it comes out, there's an element of surprise to it," her daughter said. "There's a lot of room for experimentation."
Mrs. Tyler was a founding member of Sapphire & Crystals, an African-American women's art collective in Chicago. She was a friend of the poet Gwendolyn Brooks, and her work serves as cover art for several of Brooks's books, Tyler-Herzon said.
Raised in Evanston, Mrs. Tyler knew when she was in grade school that she wanted to pursue art.
She studied at the School of the Art Institute in Chicago and later met her husband, painter and fellow School of the Art Institute alumnus Al Tyler, at an exhibit at the South Side Community Art Center.
The couple traveled to Mexico to further their art studies. There she worked with noted sculptor and printmaker Elizabeth Catlett, with whom she remained in touch the rest of her life.
She taught and lectured throughout the Chicago area, including an experimental art program for hard of hearing children.
Besides her husband and daughter, Mrs. Tyler leaves no other direct survivors.
Services have been held.

Bollywood superstar Salman Khan will next be seen in the film Tiger 3.
Salman Khan gets clicked with a young fan at Mumbai airport (Images by Manav Manglani)
Last Updated: 04.40 AM, May 25, 2023
Salman Khan is one of the finest actors of the Bollywood industry. Over the last 30 years, he has charmed audiences with his magnetic energy on screen and continues to win hearts off-screen as well.
On Thursday morning, Khan, also popularly known as the bhaijaan of Bollywood, was papped at the airport amidst heavy security. He chose to wear a comfortable black-coloured jacket and paired it with black jeans. Not only this, but he also opted to don a stylish mustache that is winning the hearts of people on the internet.
While reports suggest that he is headed to the United Arab Emirates to attend the IIFA Awards ceremony, it is not confirmed where the megastar is exactly is the megastar scheduled to go. In the middle of this uncertainty, a child was spotted running towards the star at Mumbai airport and hoping to meet him in person.
Unlike the usual trend that follows wherein fans ask for an autograph from their favourite stars, this child broke the norm and instead just desired to meet and greet Khan. Seconds later, Khan realized the presence of the child and asked his security to let the child meet him. The child soon was allowed, and they both exchanged a warm hug with a cute smile. This moment is winning hearts on the internet.
Notably, Salman Khan has been provided with Y+ category security by the Mumbai police in view of the threat perceptions.
Meanwhile, on the work front, Salman Khan has a couple of projects lined up at the moment. He will next be seen in the film Tiger 3 opposite actress Katrina Kaif. In the movie, actor Shah Rukh Khan is also expected to have a cameo appearance alongside Salman Khan – a development that is being eagerly awaited by fans of the stars.
He is also scheduled to shoot for the Bigg Boss OTT Season 2 promo soon. The last season of this reality show was hosted by ace filmmaker Karan Johar and the winner-trophy was won by Divya Aggarwal. Well, it is yet uncertain who will participate in the show, but one thing is clear that it will go on air soon in the upcoming months.

The Mermaid Problem
Almost everybody knows what a mermaid is, right? Human above the waist, fish on the bottom, oftentimes beautiful and seductive, sometimes terrifying and murderous: these creatures have appeared in a standardized form in Western art for hundreds of years. However, a deeper look at mer-lore shows a bounty of ancient and modern ways of thinking about beings who bridge the gap between earth and water.
Stories about merfolk and other hybrid or shape-changing water beings can be divided into two broad categories:
I really want to have sex!
This is where you find your beautiful and seductive beings—mermaids, sirens, selkies, and undines, as well as the modern lore of shifter romance and erotica. A common subset of this category is: I wanted to have sex and now I’m dead! Which is where we place sirens, mermaids, and others who sing sailors to their deaths after presenting an attractive initial appearance and/or voice.
Kids, I’m telling you for the last time, don’t play by the river/pond/bog/ocean!
Here we have terrifying beings—kelpies, finfolk, and many variations on monsters with a semi-human form that drag the unwary into the water, such as Jenny Greenteeth and the Creature from the Black Lagoon.
Within these categories there is almost infinite variation and interpretation. Mermaid and related stories are about sexual exploration, love of the other, forbidden love, and curiosity. They can also be about body positivity, ancestral memory, and liberation. They can be about the unpredictable and horrifying dangers of the water, a medium we can’t survive in, don’t fully understand, and can’t live without. They can be terrifying, adorable, seductive, and silly, sometimes within the same story.
Mermaids have a long history, but the most iconic mermaid in Western literature is the unnamed “mermaid” from the Hans Christian Andersen story “The Little Mermaid” (1837). Andersen’s story features a mermaid who is beautiful in accordance with White Victorian ideal: that is to say, pale, somewhat slender, and graceful, with large, expressive eyes and long, flowing hair. This image of the mermaid can be seen in the original illustrations for Andersen’s “The Little Mermaid,” by Vilhelm Pedersen, as well as the original illustrations for J. M. Barrie’s classic, Peter and Wendy (1911), by Francis Donkin Bedford and countless examples of visual art dating from the era of the Andersen story through today. This is also the way mermaids look in most movies, including Splash (1984) and The Little Mermaid (1989).
Many modern characters have challenged our image of the mermaid by introducing mermaids that do not fit the stereotypical mold (distinct from the many water-based spirits and deities of non-Western cultures) and fat or curvy mermaids. In Julia Ember’s novel The Seafarer’s Kiss, mermaids in the north carry a substantial amount of blubber that helps them survive the cold. In their society, fat is considered an attractive and necessary adaptative attribute. The pod of mermaids in Thirsty Mermaids (a comic by Kat Leyh) consists of two fat mermaids and one skinny mermaid, all three of whom express nothing but positivity about their bodies. In real life, the Society of Fat Mermaids exists as a place of support for plus-size mermaid cosplayers and performers.
Meanwhile, mermaids of color are increasingly found in Western literature and other media. The Chinese movie, The Mermaid (2016), is about mermaids who live off the coast of China and who are Chinese in appearance and language. The novel A Song Below Water, by Bethany C. Morrow, explores coming of age issues and racial justice through the lens of two teenage Black girls, one of whom is a siren and one of whom performs as a mermaid. The Deep, by Rivers Solomon, features Black mermaids in a searing yet joyful story of ancestral memory, liberation, and romance. The Saudi Arabian movie, Scales (2021), uses mermaids to explore gender roles in a dystopian Middle Eastern village.
The mermaids’ close relatives, sirens, are often depicted today looking like mermaids, but they did not start out that way. Sirens first appeared in Greek mythology. They had the upper bodies of women and the tails, wings, and feet of birds, with considerable variation regarding the woman/bird ratio. They sang and played instruments, luring sailors to dangerous shoals, and causing their deaths. Homer includes them as a menace in the Odyssey. Over time, sirens were pictured as looking less and less like birds and more and more like people. At some point in the Middle Ages, they began being described with the tails of dragons or fish and wings of a bird. Eventually the story solidified until sirens and mermaids became virtually synonymous.
An example of the siren/mermaid hybrid may be seen in Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides (2011). These sirens are beautiful women from the waist up with fish tails from the waist down. They use their physical attractiveness and beautiful voices to seduce pirates. When the pirates reach for them, the sirens grab them, drag them underwater, and devour them with their previously concealed sharp teeth and their superhuman strength. In the movie, they are referred to as mermaids, with only their voices and feeding patterns suggesting that “siren” might be a more accurate term.
Another example of the “mermaids but murderous” type of siren is found in the television series Siren (2018–2020), in which sirens are portrayed as the alpha predators of the sea despite their appearance, which is attractive to humans. In this show, the siren song can be used for healing, but it can also be addictive to humans, causing them to compulsively search for the song and ultimately drown themselves. Another version of the song can cause immediate injury or death.
Most siren fiction plays up the sexual attractiveness of the sirens, but author Mira Grant uses them as an avenue for scientific conjecture and creature-feature horror. In her novel, Into the Drowning Deep, sirens live in the recesses of the Mariana Trench. They use their ability to mimic the voices of people, ships, and marine animals to lure prey. These sirens are fully adapted to deep-sea life. Their faces and curving rib cages bear some resemblance to human women, and they have eerily humanoid lips, but there the resemblance to humans ends. They have internal organs that allow them to feed on the ocean’s surface and then return to the depths without suffering from pressure changes, they have powerful tails, they secrete a protective mucus like hagfish, they have thin, bioluminescent tendrils that resemble hair, and they have “a fishhook forest of teeth” as well as claws. This reimaging of sirens in a more scientifically plausible way allows the menace in the book to seem both otherworldly and completely realistic, the eerie mimicry of human voices and words a true violation of the trust of gullible humans filled with unearned hubris.
Sirens and mermaids usually fall under the “I want to have sex” category, with their stories usually depicting them as sexually alluring at least some of the time, with sirens crossing over into “I wanted to have sex and now I’m dead” territory. Mermaids and sirens share these categories with the lesser-known undines (sometimes spelled “ondine”) and other freshwater cryptids.
In Western literature, the undine legend was immortalized in an 1811 novella, Undine, by Friedrich de la Motte Fouqué. In this novel, a wandering knight meets a young woman named Undine. She has no soul but wins one when she marries the knight. She warns him not to deceive or criticize her near water. When he breaks this promise, she is forced to return to the water. The knight, believing her dead, arranges to marry her rival, but Undine returns on his wedding day, and he dies. Says Undine, “My tears fell on his heart until, for very sorrow, it broke.”
Undine was inspired by two sources. The first was works of Paracelsus, a Renaissance-era alchemist who described four elemental beings (also called nymphs in his system) who occupy a space between fully corporeal and fully spiritual. Gnomes are the elemental beings of Earth, Sylphs of Air, Salamanders of Fire, and Undines of Water. These beings don’t have immortal souls but can gain them if married to a human being. However, should an undine marry a human, and the human mistreat her while they are on the water, she will be forced to leave him, and should he betray her, she will kill him.
The second source was the legend of Mélusine, a being resembling a mermaid said to inhabit streams and holy wells in France. The legend of Mélusine has many variations but usually involves a nobleman who finds a beautiful maiden in the forest. She agrees to marry him on the condition that he never look at her when she is bathing herself or their children. Eventually he breaks the oath and sees her (or in some variations, one of the daughters) with the tail of a serpent, dragon, or fish, causing her to swim or fly away.
“Mélusine” and “Undine” are words that can be used as the name of a specific character or a more general word for that type of character—thus “undine” usually refers to either the character in the novella or to any freshwater beautiful female elemental, and “mélusine” is either a specific character from legend or any freshwater mermaid-like being that has the upper body of a woman and lower body of a mermaid with a double fish tail, a serpent tail, or a dragon tail. For example, the famous Starbucks Company logo is a classic image of a mélusine.
Undine was a popular novel upon its release, and inspired poems, stories, operas, and ballets. Most recently, it inspired the movies Ondine (2009) and Undine (2020). The medical condition central hypoventilation syndrome, a condition in which people lose the ability to regulate their breathing automatically, is also known as Ondine’s curse.
One of the legacies of Undine was its impact on Hans Christian Andersen. Many factors went into Andersen’s story “The Little Mermaid,” a story which has arguably had the single greatest influence on modern Western mermaid lore. One of those factors was Andersen’s dislike of the use of the immortal soul as a plot device in Undine. Andersen thought that an eternal soul should not be bestowed on a being simply because of love. In his story, a mermaid hopes to win the love of a prince and thus acquire an eternal soul, just as Undine does. However, in Andersen’s story, the prince dooms the mermaid by wedding another. The mermaid is then offered a chance to win a soul through good deeds in a sort of ghostly afterlife. In a letter, Andersen wrote:
I have not, like de la Motte Fouquet in Undine, let the mermaid’s gaining an immortal soul depend on a stranger, on the love of another person. It is definitely the wrong thing to do. It would make it a matter of chance, and I’m not going to accept that in this world. I have let my mermaid take a more natural, divine path.
A final example of freshwater cryptids is the nixie. These beings, from Germanic lore, are freshwater cryptids who bridge the gap between sirens and undines. They sometimes look human and other times look like mermaids. Lorelei, who shares her name with a large rock formation on the Rhine River, is a famous nixie who sings a beautiful song, siren-like. She lures men to their deaths by shipwreck on the rock that bears her name.
Returning to the ocean, we find selkies, the mysterious seal-men and women from the Scottish coast. These beings live their lives in the sea as seals. However, sometimes, they come onto the land, take off their coats, and assume human form. This is most common with selkie women. Should a human man steal the selkie’s seal skin, then she must follow him home and be his wife. But if she ever finds where he has hidden the skin, then she will run back to the sea with it and never be seen again.
The Secret of Roan Inish (1994) and the animated Song of the Sea (2014) tell selkie stories in a modern setting (The Secret of Roan Inish is set post-WWII and Song of the Sea is set in the present day). Both movies tell stories of separation, grief, and healing. The 2009 movie Ondine, mentioned above and set in the present day, combines ondine and selkie legends in a modern-day story about a mysterious woman, Ondine, who is believed to be a selkie. This movie uses the selkie myth as a way for Ondine to craft her own story about her origins, her personal power, and the life she wants to have. There is even a story about selkies in space. The Twins of Petaybee series, by Anne McCaffrey and Elizabeth Ann Scarborough, includes a selkie scientist who transforms into seal form in order to explore an alien planet’s ocean.
Selkies are rarely cruel to humans. However, finfolk from Finnish folklore are a crossover between “Kids, I’m telling you for the last time, don’t play by the water!” and “I want to have sex!” Finfolk, found in the Orkney Islands, live most of their lives in their underwater city, as creatures like mermaids. But when they want to wed, they kidnap a human and take them to a hidden, magical island where the human must live out their days. To do this, finfolk adopt various disguises. Sometimes they adopt the forms of beautiful mermaids to seduce fisherman. Other times they appear as animals or plants, attempting to entice the human into approaching them so that the finfolk can grab the human. Finmen even appear as fishermen in row boats, or as empty boats free for the taking. But the greedy human who comes too close will find him or herself captured and dragged beneath the waves for procreation purposes.
Although we’re focusing on Western mermaids, particularly those from Western European folklore and media, stories of merfolk appear all over the world. The universality of these stories suggests certain universal feelings and impulses. For instance, people want sex and fantasize about it, while also fearing the dangers of following temptation. Yet many mermaids and related stories are less about the drive for sex and more about the drive for companionship and a sense of belonging. For instance, The Little Mermaid of Andersen’s tale doesn’t just want to have a sexual life with her prince—she wants to belong in the human world. She also wants to be part of something even greater, longing for a kind of eternal immortality.
Stories about merfolk and their relatives also represent a universal longing to bridge the great gap of understanding between the earthly world of humans and the aquatic world, a world in which we cannot survive, and yet also cannot live without. These stories are resilient and adaptable, overlapping and blending into one another, transcending genre limitations.
There are mermaids in horror (Mermaid Down, from 2019, and The Lure, from 2015) and mermaids in science fiction (Sun-Daughters, Sea-Daughters, by Aimee Ogden, 2021). The romance genre abounds with mermaids. Mermaids populate children’s stories, live performance, visual arts, and adult erotica. Transcending artistic and physical mediums, mermaids and undines, sirens, and nixies, and all the other water-beings who challenge and seduce us remind us that the watery world is, and has always been, a place of wonder and mystery.

If the p017 has a mechanical misfire from valve train problems or weak cylinder compression, it will send puffs of oxygen into the exhaust system. When a vehicle has the fault code P and or P, it means that computer can no longer automatically adjust the mixture between air and fuel.
In this case, the Air Flow Meter or Sensor is inaccurately reporting the real p00172 of air entering the engine. Got FIXD and found out it was a different issue. If you have a bank that is running too rich, which is unfortunately a very generalized condition, one or more of the following conditions must be true:.

So what should be added to the check list is the following items in terms of difficulty.
Cleaning the sensor might hold off problems for a while, but eventually, the MAF sensor should be replaced. That was in relation to another issue, however it confused me enough to doubt whether buying a new oxygen sensor would in fact fix the problem! An inaccurate Coolant Temperature or Air Temperature Sensor can cause a rich condition because they will report that the engine is still cold, which will cause the PCM to keep dtd mixture rich long after the engine is at proper operating temperature.

I just saw the check engine light come on on my VW Passat B5. Guess we gotta find a new mechanic.
A technician may not inspect the coolant temperature sensor and cooling system. Since the oxygen sensors are telling the computer that less fuel is needed, this causes confusion in the computer because the Mass Air Flow Sensor is still saying there is too much air and ftc Oxygen Sensor is reporting that the mixture is still too rich.
Sometimes the Air Flow Sensor and the sensing p172 get covered with dirt, dust, or oil residue, which can also set a P Here is a great video that clearly explains this process! It is important to complete the entire diagnostic process when dt P Code P applies to Bank 1 and P applies to Bank 2.

The car also lacks power from a stop but after dttc is going a bout 15 or 20 MPH it gets with it. CO pollution, which is poisonous and helps create ozone, is caused by vehicles that are running too rich. Is it rich only under load? It is reporting that the engine is running too rich, which xtc what we’d expect if smelling un-burned fuel out the exhaust. Be sure to “Ohm check” the injector winding resistance as well in order to verify that it’s within specification.

Ratagan to Inverness
1.5 mile walk, bus trip
I left Ratagan Youth Hostel in plenty of time to walk the short distance to Shiel Bridge at the head of Loch Duich. From here it was an expensive bus journey (£20) to Inverness, where I was to meet Sally, pick up the hired campervan and head back to Kyle of Lochalsh for 10 days on Skye. I was really looking forward to seeing Skye ‘from the inside’ instead of looking across the water at it.
The bus journey was nice; good views of Loch Ness. I sat next to the cleaner from the Glenelg Inn that I met yesterday and we had a good chat.
I don’t feel like I’ve earned another break from walking but the Skye trip has been planned for ages and I am looking forward to it.

Sreedharan Mayanad, 45, a farm trainer in Kozhikode district, never refers to books to impart skills on organic farming. His vegetable farm at Thadambattuthazham speaks for itself. The only tip that he gives to farm enthusiasts who approach him to get a better understanding on farming is to work hard.
Shoppers can pluck fresh vegetables with medicinal quality, including neykumbalam, green chilli and spinach, both red and green, directly from his farm. This novel and thrilling experience attracts several visitors with family to his farm.
Sreedharan’s love for farming began at the tender age of nine.
Following in the footsteps of his father, a traditional vegetable farmer in Mayanad, Sreedharan initially tried his luck at tapioca cultivation.
“Tapioca was the first root vegetable that attracted me to farming,” he goes down memory lane. "When I was a child I used to go on an errand for my neighbours. The remuneration I received for the first time was a bunch of tapioca. From then on I was much attracted to the vegetable,” he smiles.
Apart from chilli and banana, he grows bittergourd, cucumber, yam, ladies finger and many more.
His next mission is to make Swarnamukhi, a high-yielding banana variety popular among Kozhikodens.
Ignorance over farming is what keeps several youngsters away from farming.
Speaking from his experience, Sreedharan says, “Once the quality of each variety is revealed, local farmers will embrace it with open arms. I was surprised to understand that most of the farmers in the district still do not know the proper way to plant a sapling. At present he is one of the most sought-after farm trainers in the district. I have been offering training classes from 2006. I do not need a book or a dictionary to make the people aware of traditional farming techniques. For me experience is the best teacher.”
Accolades came his way when he proved his success in cultivation. The Best Farmers Club Award instituted by NABARD was bestowed on this farmer-cum-in-charge of Mayanad cluster in 2012.
Though he could not complete his pre-degree owing to financial difficulties, he has no complaints about it.
“If I had received better education I might have not been this much attracted to farming,” he chuckles.
“I am highly interested in banana cultivation since it never pushes farmers to suicide,” he says.
In the coming season he is planning to plant around 2,000 banana shoots at the recently-levelled plot at the Thadambattuthazham vegetable market.
He also runs a shop at Mayanad to make available fertilisers, pesticides and saplings for the needy.
After conducting classes for housewives and farmers I encourage them to plant green chilli, curry leaves and banana shoots in their plots.

What Twitch is doing feels like the opposite of charity.
If you look in the dictionary next to the word “anachronistic,” you’ll find a picture of Super Smash Bros Brawl: a video game where Solid Snake throws grenades at Pikachu and Wario farts on Sonic the Hedgehog, yet takes itself so seriously that its theme song is composed in Latin. But it’s more likely that if you’ve heard any criticism about Brawl, it’s about the game’s competitive viability compared to its predecessor, Super Smash Bros Melee. Imbalance bisects the character roster, with characters like Diddy Kong and Meta Knight being so implausibly powerful that it’s downright silly to play as anybody else. Random pratfalls and floatier controls more or less destroyed Brawl’s competitive scene, with most players still preferring the faster, more balanced Melee.
The Brawl community reacted to this in a number of ways. For some the answer was to hack Brawl and make it more like Super Smash Bros Melee, resulting in the popular Project M mod. For others, the solutions wasn’t going back to Melee, but trying to smooth out the imbalances in Brawl, which brought about the Balanced Brawl and Brawl Plus mods.
For Brawl Minus developer Marc Weidlich (known online by his alias Pin Clock), fixing Brawl wasn’t about competitiveness or balance, but craziness and balls out fun instead.
“The idea for Brawl Minus came about when the other Brawl mods at the time, Brawl+ and Balanced Brawl, focused on balancing the game at around Brawl Diddy Kong’s level and making it more serious and competitive,” Weidlich said. “Realizing this, we imagined what a mod would be like where the bar for power was raised much higher and serious competition was put second to crazy high speed fun.”
It’s clear when you boot up Brawl Minus that it’s a more fun and looser experience than in Brawl Plus or Project M. The menu screens are all purple, and the character select screen looks like it was drawn in MS Paint by an enthusiastic 8-year-old. Weidlich is well aware of the challenges of making a game that’s funny, yet still playable. “Since humor plays an important role in our game, we have to make sure everyone is laughing, even when you’re the one getting hit!”he said.
“The balance between ridiculousness and serious playability of the game is something very delicate that we try not lean to one side on. For example, were we to make everything crazy silly, Minus would lose a lot of its lasting appeal and replay value due to not having depth outside of jokes. However, if we leaned too much towards the serious side, then Brawl Minus loses that special touch that makes playing it a truly unique experience, also hampering lasting appeal and replay value.”
Even aside from the game’s inherent silliness, there’s a certain frantic, fast paced outlandishness that makes the game fit seamlessly into the Super Smash Bros Universe. Pikachu can use one of his aerial moves to literally fly through the air. Bowser refuses to flinch at weak attacks, making the classic villain seem as scary as he should be. Mario can turn metal with a taunt, and Ivysaur can use his Bullet Seed attack to fly up into the air like a helicopter. Part of the charm of Brawl Minus is installing it for the first time and seeing how your favorite characters have changed, and being surprised when your expectations are thrown right out the window.
For Weidlich, designing characters in Brawl Minus is about maximizing fun for the players while still sticking close to the character’s roots. “Minus has always had emphasis on making our characters unique, with changes such as Bowser into a powerful grappler with the moves Royal Rampage and Galactic Crusher, giving Ike the devastating No Sympathy Mode which activated when Ike dealt enough damage to his opponents, Sonic a mobility move in Boost, and many more,” Weidlich said.
“Pichu especially is no exception to having to find a unique role, especially when he was a clone of Pikachu in Melee,” Weidlich said. “Him being in Melee before made us adhere to certain rules, such as his unique mechanic of taking self-damage on electric attacks, which was also a blessing as it let us easily decide to make Pichu a high risk high reward character. Another thing we decided to emphasize on was his speed, making Pichu much faster than his evolved counterpart, which also played with his smaller size, needing the mobility to get in. With this design goal, we then optimized each move to make sure it would not only aid Pichu in battle in a way other moves in his kit wouldn’t, but to also make sure they flow into each other well for the character to feel natural.”
In many ways, Weidlich’s care in redesigning characters feels more reverent of the character’s original games than Brawl. When Charizard uses his Rock Smash attack in Brawl Minus, shards of stone remain floating in the air after the attack, referencing Stealth Rock, an entry hazard move extremely popular in competitive Pokémon play. When Meta Knight throws an opponent, he gives the opponent a Beam Sword, echoing past Kirby games where Meta Knight would give Kirby a sword before a battle, so that their fight could be an honorable one.
“Every single move is designed carefully to make sure they can add to a character in a way another move wouldn’t,” Weidlich said, “and nods to canon are no exception. We make sure that each bonus functions the same as every unique move: Being able to be used well and also played around. We do go out of our way to add canon to our characters, and Stealth Rock is one of my favorites due to not only the irony of Charizard using Stealth Rock, but also that an important move to competitive Pokémon is an important move to Minus Charizard as well!”
If there’s any criticism to be levied against Brawl Minus, it’s that it makes standard Brawl feel boring by comparison. It’s tough to go back to a game where Ganondorf’s Wizard punch doesn’t do 666 damage and shoot a fireball, once you’re accustomed to it. “I remember when I booted up Vanilla Brawl once myself by accident and played a few matches, and it felt like I was playing Minus on Slow-Mo,” Weidlich said.
But with a new Smash Bros game rapidly approaching, Weidlich isn’t concerned that the transition from Brawl Minus to Super Smash Bros will be difficult. “Sakurai and his team at Namco Bandai have really thought of a few things I myself would have done, on top of a lot of other things I’d have never come up with. He and his team have thought outside of the box and beyond this time, and it shows! Speaking of Sakurai, have you noticed the new properties of Zelda’s Din’s Fire and Pikachu’s Thunder? I feel like someone’s watching us!”
It’s clear above all else that Weidlich is proud of his creation, and certain that its legacy will last, even after Brawl fades away. “I feel as if players will still boot up Minus every now and then to relieve the memories of just how much silly fun Minus has to offer. While we won’t be modding the game for a bit after release so players can really get a feel for it, the presence of Minus in Smash 4 might be a possibility a little further down the road.”

Check out the inaugural episode of the Topic: Thunder Podcast, featuring myself, Anthony Montero, Dylan Huntzinger, Stephen Dolan, and Matthew Mullins, where we discuss the first week of training camp and the upcoming preseason games.
Nick Gallo (OKCThunder.com) recaps the Blue and White scrimmage: “Along the perimeter, during the Thunder’s annual Blue & White Scrimmage on Sunday, Schröder had a menu full of options. Paul George, the dynamic All-Star forward, was moving in and out of positions along the wing, curling around screens and finding openings to receiving passes. Trailing in transition or spotting up in the corner was Patrick Patterson. The burly yet deft Steven Adams was barreling down the middle of the lane presenting a wide target. Schröder hit them all, aiding the White squad in a blowout victory over four quarters against the Blue team.”
Erik Horne (NewsOK) looks at Patrick Patterson’s day in the scrimmage: “After signing a three-year, $16.4 million contract with the Thunder in July 2017, Patterson had arthroscopic surgery on his left knee that August, which forced him to miss all of preseason. Before that, Patterson couldn’t even play 5-on-5 as he tried to rehab his knee all summer with no luck.”
Horne (NewsOK) on Billy Donovan’s assessment of Andre Roberson’s progress so far: “He just can’t do those things,” Thunder coach Billy Donovan said. “Someone asked me if he’s jumping in there. Really, it’s been hard for him to jump into anything with the way practice has been. There will be a time as we start to go forward where he’ll be able to do that.”
Jordan Buckamneer (Thunderous Intentions) on the defection of the Thunder’s head athletic trainer to the Charlotte Hornets: “It’s an end of an era for the Thunder medical staff, as head athletic trainer Joe Sharp won’t be on the end of the bench for the first time in since organization’s move to Oklahoma City. Sharp started with the organization in 2008 and has been tending to Thunder injuries ever since. Joining the Hornets will be a reunion for Sharp, as he spent four years with the Bobcats prior to going to Oklahoma City.”
Grant Afseth (OKC Thunder Wire) on the comfort level of Dennis Schröder heading into the season: “Dennis Schröder told reporters following the ‘Blue and White’ scrimmage that when he first arrived in Oklahoma following the Carmelo Anthony, the team chemistry was ‘amazing’ and that the team was like a ‘big family.’”
Rylan Stiles (Thunderous Intentions) with 5 takeaways from the Blue & White scrimmage: “Dennis Schroder played shooting guard with Raymond Felton handling the ball at times. Thunder fans have questioned if Schroder and Westbrook will play together once Russ returns, and that seems obvious.”

The leader of the Tautua Samoa Party, Palusalue Fa’apo II has urged the government to utilise an allocation on the budget called unforeseen expenditure to help the businesses affected by the fire.
The amount is $14million in the 2015/2016 budget, according to Palusalue.
Speaking during their weekly press conference, Palusalue said the government must recognize the contribution by these small businesses owners to the development of Samoa. Palusalue sympathised with the small businesses and urged government to act immediately.
“It’s heartbreaking to see the hard work of many families and their businesses going up in flame,” said Palusalue.
He argued that the unforeseen expenditure in the budget is allocation for times such as this.
“We urge the government and Cabinet to make this fund available to assist the poor businesses who have lost everything they had built over the years.”
Recalling the past, Palusalue said in 2009, the fund had assisted the people affected by the tsunami.
He suggested that perhaps it could be loaned to businesses on a very low interest rate.
“The businesses need that money to restore their businesses, to buy new products and rebuild what they have lost,” Palusalue said.
“We encourage the businesses to be strong and patient as the government has promised to look for space for them to sell their goods and get back on their feet.”

The Durham County Board of Elections has rejected a protest filed by a failed candidate in last week’s Durham municipal primary that questioned another candidate’s U.S. citizenship status.
The protest form filed by Victoria Peterson two days after the primary said incumbent Javiera Caballero has publicly spoken of being an immigrant from Chile but not said or provided documents showing she is a U.S. citizen.
Caballero became the city’s first Latina on the Durham City Council when she was appointed two years ago to finish now-Mayor Steve Schewel’s unexpired council term.
Running on a joint Bull City Together platform with fellow incumbents Jillian Johnson and Charlie Reece, Caballero finished third in Tuesday’s race for three at-large council seats. The top six finishers in the 10-person field now advance to the Nov. 5 general election.
Peterson finished seventh.
Her protest asked that Caballero’s name be removed from the ballot and that the votes be recounted.
In an email Sunday, Elections Director Derek Bowens said the Board of Elections, which met Friday evening, unanimously rejected the protest for lack of probable cause.
Peterson did not provide any facts or evidence “suggesting that Ms. Caballero is still a citizen of Chile or any other country besides the United Sates,” according to the findings signed by board Chairman Philip Lehman.
In a joint statement, Caballero, Johnson and Reece called the protest “reckless” and a “fact-free distraction.”
“This is not the first time during the course of this election that our three campaigns have been subjected to baseless accusations,” they wrote.
”We have always chosen to focus our attention in this campaign on the issues that matter to the people of the city of Durham,” they continued. “While this allegation is hurtful and harmful, it is also an opportunity for Durham to recommit to inclusivity and our belief that Durham is for everyone. Since launching our campaigns, we’ve used the slogan ‘we’re all in this together,’ and we encourage all residents of Durham to champion this idea and to help us build a city that values, welcomes, and supports all our diverse communities..”
Caballero told The Herald-Sun in 2017 that her family moved to the United States when her father was in graduate school and that she became a U.S. citizen at age 14.
Sunday’s joint statement repeated that Caballero is a citizen and also a registered voter who has lawfully voted in Durham since 2010.
“Javiera has faced these sorts of baseless claims about her citizenship throughout this election, and it’s time for our community to speak with one voice to say that enough is enough,” Reece said in the statement. “Durham must be a city that works for everyone, and that must include our immigrant neighbors.”
Johnson, the city’s mayor pro tempore, said Caballero and many other immigrants have had to endure suspicion throughout their lives.
“An immigrant perspective on the council is a benefit to our entire city, and Javiera’s capacity to engage the Spanish-speaking community has helped us all to be more inclusive and improve our practice of language justice,” Johnson said. “This city belongs to all of our residents, no matter where they were born.”
Johnson, Reece and Caballero were the top three vote-getters Tuesday, followed by Joshua Gunn, former council member Jackie Wagstaff and Daniel Meier.
In a public Facebook post Sunday, Caballero said it had been “a rough few days.”
“Although this allegation is ridiculous, it would be a lie to say that there hasn’t been an emotional cost,” she wrote. “ I will continue to affirm that Durham is a city for everyone, and I will continue to defend and work for ALL Durham residents.”
Peterson to appeal
Protests may be filed by candidates or voters over alleged irregularities or misconduct, according to the N.C. State Board of Elections.
A county elections board conducts an initial review and if it finds probable cause, or “the possibility of a protest’s truthfulness,” it holds a hearing with testimony and other evidence. Local board decisions can be appealed to the state board of elections and from there to the Superior Court.
Peterson said she will appeal.
She said she filed the protest after several people raised the issue with her and said she had not discussed it personally with Caballero, though both attended Friday’s Board of Elections meeting.
“It takes years to become a citizen of the United States,” Peterson said. “It’s not just done automatically.”
On Sunday night, City Council members Vernetta Alston and Mark-Anthony Middleton took to their Facebook pages to condemn Peterson’s protest.
“Xenophobic rhetoric threatens individuals, institutions, and the founding principles of our democracy,” Alston wrote.
“Racist and xenophobic,” Middleton wrote, calling on Peterson to apologize..
“This repulsive campaign to ‘otherize’ Councilor Caballero is no different than asking Barack Obama to produce a birth certificate,” Middleton added, referring to so-called “birther” conspiracies that falsely asserted President Obama was not born in the United States.
But Peterson said her protest was not about Caballero heritage.
“This has nothing to do with a person’s race or ethnicity,” she said. “This has to do with our constitution. You have to be a U.S. citizen or a naturalized citizen to run for public office. ... If she has all that I’m fine with it.”

Joe moves his enormous collection of comic books, which represent emotional security to him, into the Clays’ house. Sammy peruses Joe’s new Golem work, which he thinks is excellent, although Joe thinks it will be “too dark” for most.
Joe has been in New York since 1949. Initially he had a vague idea that he would return to Rosa after he finished his Golem work. But he waited too long and became paralyzed, unable to approach her again.
Sammy tells Joe that he thinks they should tell Tommy about his parentage. He says that marrying Rosa was “the easy thing.” He never loved Rosa romantically; rather, he married her because he didn’t want to be “a fairy.”
Sammy reads through Joe’s work while Joe fetches sandwiches from a diner. While they are in Joe’s suite, Anapol arrives unexpectedly and asks how Joe is. Sammy tells Anapol that he has been subpoenaed. Anapol says that he has killed The Escapist, having been losing money on him for some time. The age of costumed heroes is on the decline.
Sammy tells Joe that if he had a million dollars, he’d buy Empire. Joe says, for his part, he has “not quite a million,” and Sammy remembers that Joe put away a lot of money in order to eventually start a family.
Joe is shocked at how unhappy Sammy is and considers buying Empire Comics for him, but that decision would mean accepting that his own family is gone. Sammy tells him to keep his money.
A moving van arrives at the Clay house with a large wooden crate, which excites Tommy. Joe has disappeared, so the Clays presume the crate is part of an escape act. Still, Sammy feels that Joe would have left a note and taken his clothes if he had meant to leave for good.
Rosa has been expecting Joe’s boxes of comics, but the delivery man has only the crate, and he says it has come from Nova Scotia by way of Penn Station. Rosa signs for the crate, confused. It is very heavy. At this moment, a car pulls up in the drive: Joe is home.
The previous night, Joe lies awake, thinking about the possibility of relaunching Empire Comics. He has come to think Sammy may be right about the potential of the Golem—and other superheroes based on Jewish folklore.
Just before five in the morning, he takes the car and leaves, at first aimlessly. Soon, he finds that he is heading for New York, specifically the credit union where his money is held. He sits outside the building for a long while until a policeman tells him to move on; his decision has been made for him. He cannot get the money today.
Next, he visits the Jewish cemetery. In a vision, Kornblum comes to him and tells him to go home. When he returns home, he finds that Rosa is furious and crying as she stands by the mysterious crate. Joe recognizes the crate at once as the one that had contained the Golem. Joe opens the box and finds it filled with silt from the bed of the Moldau river in Prague. The Golem has disintegrated.
Sammy is at the trial to which he has been subpoenaed. The subject of the trial is the moral effect of comic books. The prosecution has already connected comics with perversion in the minds of the jury. Further, the prosecution insinuates that Sammy deliberately creates homoerotic and pederastic relationships in all the comics he writes. Finally, before being asked to...
(This entire section contains 1224 words.)
move on, the prosecution accuses Sammy of having “psychological proclivities,” a euphemism for homosexuality.
Joe and Rosa escort Sammy out of the court, aware that Sammy is now feeling at a loss, having been “publicly identified as a lifelong homosexual” in a televised trial. They take him to a bar and order bourbon. For a while, they drink together, and Joe and Rosa comfort Sammy until they realize Tommy will soon be home from school. Sammy tells them to take the train home and says he will bring the car home later.
Sammy stays at the bar on his own for another hour and begins to think about Bacon, becoming distressed at the memory. At this point, George Deasey appears in the bar. He tells Sammy he was present at the trial. He asks whether it’s true that Joe is back and asks how Sammy feels. Sammy says he feels more relieved than anything. He tells George he is considering moving to LA to work in television.
Joe’s boxes of comics arrive and are stacked in the garage. Tommy mentions that he watched his father on TV, but he seems more interested in the comic books.
Tommy finds a box containing a copy of the first issue of Radio Comics, various newspaper clippings, a drawing of the Golem, a ticket to Citizen Kane, a box of Kavalier & Clay stationery, an envelope containing a photo of Tracy Bacon, a pair of socks, and a strip of pictures of Rosa and Joe kissing.
Rosa and Joe come in and see the strip in Tommy’s hand. Realizing that they can no longer pretend, Joe and Rosa sit down with Tommy, and Joe explains the history of his relationship with Rosa. He describes how the war changed their lives. He explains about his brother. Eventually, Joe says, “I think we are okay,” and Tommy agrees but asks, “what about Dad?”
Sammy comes home late, having purchased a ticket to LA. Joe, asleep in the living room, wakes, and Sammy asks whether everyone is all right. Joe nods, falling asleep again. Sammy covers him and goes to see Tommy.
During the trial, the prosecution made insinuations about Batman and Robin, assuming that their relationship is homoerotic. Sammy thinks to himself now that these insinuations are wrong. Theirs is a father-son relationship, with Batman standing in for the father that many American boys do not have. Sammy gets into bed with Tommy as he used to do. Tommy wakes and tells his father he thought he was “good” on television. After a time, Sammy gets out of the bed and goes to the master bedroom, where he begins packing his things. When he gets to the kitchen, Rosa is there, having burned a cake.
Rosa notices the case and asks if Sammy is leaving. She says that she would rather he stayed, at least “to prove a point” that nobody can tell others how to live. Sammy says there is another point he needs to prove.
Joe comes into the kitchen and tells Sammy he can't leave—Joe has bought Empire Comics. They convince Sammy he can’t go anywhere tonight, and he says he will sleep on the couch. He suggests that perhaps he can mail stories to Joe from LA.
When the household wakes in the morning, the couch has been stripped and Sammy is gone. Left behind is the card he and Rosa were given when they bought the house. Sammy has crossed out “the Clays” and written “Kavalier & Clay.”

Five years ago I worked with my friends on their Vermont wedding at Trapp Family Lodge in Stowe. Jackie and Tim are wonderful friends and seeing them grow over the years (and their adorable baby girl, too!) has been a special part of our lives. There is usually lots of wine, laughter and good food when we get together.
A traditional gift for the fifth wedding anniversary is wood which is meant to signify the strength of the relationship. I think a nice piece of furniture or a wooden salad bowl is a good gift…or perhaps a new fence for your yard like my friends put up this summer! I’ve also seen suggestions to plant a tree and toast to a future where your love continues to grow and prosper like that tree. I really like that one!
Jackie and Tim’s fall-inspired flowers featured Leonidas roses as well as deep red roses and hypericum berries for an “Autumn in Vermont” feeling, although the weather that day was more like a perfect end of summer day that happened to have some marvelous fall foliage. Here is a picture of the bride’s bouquet which featured 3 shades of callas & 3 shades of roses.
In addition to flowers I also helped create welcome baskets, invitations and drew up some images for their save-the-date cards which we printed on recycled paper, of course! Below are the images I drew for the front and back-side of the cards with a couple of characters I made with the words “Jackie and Tim” and an apple tree as a nod to the season with their initials in the tree.
It is a privilege to work with couples on their wedding plans, but working with dear friends is a particularly special honor. Happy Anniversary, Jackie and Tim! May the next five years be even more blissful than the first five! Cheers to you both…and to our next dinner date together.


Toyota Camry is a mid-sized sedan from the Japanese automaker Toyota. It was launched in 1982 and has gone through multiple generations. After Corolla, Camry has enjoyed worldwide success and has a loyal consumer base. From 1979 to 1982, Camry came as a narrow body vehicle and was called Celica Camry. At the time, it was a compact four-door sedan and was offered only with rear-wheel-drive and front-engine configuration. On top of that, it came with a 5-speed manual and 4-speed automatic transmission. Engines included 1.5L, 1.8L, and 2.0L variants. Currently, Camry competes fiercely with Honda Accord across the globe.
Camry V10 to V50 came with narrow body shapes. These generations were launched in 1982, and their production ended in 2003. In 1986, a station wagon variant was added. In 1990, this variant was discontinued due to poor sales performance. In this era, only four-cylinder engines were offered. Even in older generations, Toyota Camry came equipped with a lot of standard equipment. These included power steering, power windows, power mirrors, adjustable steering, and rear folding armrest.
After these generations, a wide-body style was introduced, and the Camry was cast as a mid-sized sedan.
Camry XV10 to XV70 were referred to as wide-body sedans and were launched in 1991. A V6 petrol engine was introduced in 1996, and it has since been offered in the Camry lineup. Two trim levels were raised, and these were regular, and Prestige trims. These wide-body models were manufactured on the Toyota K platform. This platform is very strong and lights at the same time. The current model is based on the Toyota New Global Architect. The newer models are also equipped with an optional all-wheel-drive system. These can also be equipped with a hybrid powertrain.
Notable features in the current Camry 2023, which was launched initially in 2017, include direct-shift 8-speed automatic transmission, metallic front grille, dual exhausts with chrome surrounds, 19-inch alloy rims, and LED taillights. There are three driving modes and include Normal, Eco, and Sport. There is a sport variant called the TRD trim. This trim has a V6 engine that produces 301 bhp. This is the same engine that comes in other higher trim levels of the Camry. Therefore, a new engine was not developed for the TRD variant. Only exterior and interior design changes were made.
The TRD variant has red brake calipers, cat-back dual exhaust, black seats and other trim pieces and red stitching to highlight the sporty nature of the sedan. A 9-inch multimedia screen is provided in the Camry that can be used to carry out various functions. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are provided to pair your mobile phone effectively with the infotainment system. Smart key and push-start buttons make it very easy to get in and drive away in your car.
In Pakistan, the Toyota Camry 2023 is available in 2 trims - low-grade trim and high-grade trim.
Toyota Camry Exterior
The exterior of the new Toyota Camry 2023 is unique and bold with sleek, sharp lines but an overall dominating presence. The front of the car houses a broad, sleek grille which is accompanied by bi-beam LED headlamps. These headlamps come with an auto-leveling device and cleaner. The headlamps are paired with daytime running lamps (DRLs). The front also has LED indicator lamps.
The side-view mirrors are electrically retractable and come with defoggers. The rear of the car has a defogger as well as a high mount stop lamp. The trunk is smart with an electric door release. The high grade trim also comes with a panoramic sunroof.
Toyota Camry Interior
The interior of the Camry 2023 is luxurious and comfortable. The leather-wrapped seats are power-adjustable with the driver’s seat being adjustable in 8 ways and the passenger in 4 ways. The rear seats have the feature of a 60/40 split to increase boot space. The three-spoke leather-wrapped steering wheel comes with steering controls. In its background lies the 7-inch multi-information display which displays information about the vehicle prominently.
The center console houses an 8-inch multimedia system that provides access to all infotainment systems. Unfortunately, the multimedia system does not support AndroidAuto and Apple CarPlay. The car has auxiliary support with a USB port. 6 speakers complete the infotainment system. The Camry 2023 also comes with dual auto-air conditioning for both front and rear passengers.
Toyota Camry 2023 comes with push-start technology. The hybrid vehicle comes with driving modes - ECO, sport, and normal. Some modern features include cruise control, hill start assist, impact sensing fuel cut, anti-lock brake system, and vehicle stability control.
Some standard features of Camry 2023 include an anti-theft system, seat belt warning, light reminder warning, clearance, and back sonar, rear view camera, airbags, and seat lumbar support. The car comes with a smart tailgate that is remote-controlled.
The new Toyota Camry 2023 comes with hybrid technology. It has a 2487 cc 4-cylinder in-line DOHC 16 valve engine which generates a maximum power of 131/5700 kW/rpm at a maximum torque of 221/5200 Nm/rpm. This engine is coupled with an electric motor (Hybrid) that produces 150 kW (202 hp).
The Toyota Camry 2023 gives an impressive fuel economy of 18 km/l in the city and about 22 km/l on the highway.
Camry Ride & Handling
Toyota Camry 2023 is easy to handle and fun to ride. The car has responsive steering which makes driving convenient. On the other hand, the suspension is soft, which makes the bumps and potholes in the road noticeable while driving and also adds a swift sway after the car goes over a bump.
The powertrain of the Camry 2023 is strong and responsive with outstanding fuel economy. Overall the car is easy to handle and gives a good performance.
The maintenance of the Toyota Camry is quite expensive in Pakistan as the car is not locally assembled and rather arrives as a completely built unit (CBU). That is why its parts are not easily available and cost a lot.
- 2487 cc 4-cylinder in-line DOHC 16 valve engine
- Power - 131/5700 kW/rpm torque - 221/5200 Nm/rpm.
Toyota Camry Competitors
The new Toyota Camry 2023 competes with Hyundai Sonata and Honda Accord in the Pakistani market.
The Hyundai Sonata beats Camry when it comes to price as it is quite cheaper than the Camry. Sonata also has several features which the Camry lacks, such as a larger fuel tank, more interior space and a longer wheelbase. On the other hand, Camry beats Sonata on its fuel efficiency.
The Honda Accord is another strong competitor of Camry due to its lesser price. It also has a longer wheelbase and a larger fuel tank than the Camry. Camry, on the other hand, has a better fuel economy.
Toyota Camry 2023 is a hybrid vehicle and none of its competitors are hybrids, so it beats its competitors in the Pakistani market.

Neck pain is a common problem among people of all ages. But sometimes neck pain can be a symptom of an autoimmune disease, tumors, inflammation, pinched nerve, problems with blood vessels or damage to the spinal cord. You should immediately visit a doctor if you notice the following symptoms:
- Discomfort or pain which lasts for at least a few days
- Growing pain sensations
- At least one of the following risk factors applies to you:
- You’re over the age of 55 or under 20 years
- Neck pain increases when tapping
- You have fever, nausea or general malaise
- You lost weight for no apparent reason
- You experience regular headaches
- You feel numbness, tingling, weakness in arms or legs.
Why Does the Neck Hurt?
The neck is thin and flexible and it holds a weighty head which also spins back and forth, upsetting the balance. In general, the neck is always tense. But sometimes the load increases and may cause neck pain. There are other factors that may trigger neck pain:
1. Muscle strain
Almost everyone who spends a lot of time at a computer experiences neck pain. When you sit, you unconsciously lean forward. Thus, the muscles seriously strain and this causes neck pain. Over time, the muscles get used to being in the wrong position which means that pains from tension become regular. By the way, such things as reading in bed and teeth grinding may also lead to muscle strain.
2. Worn joints
Like other joints in the body, cervical joints wear out with age. Elastic cartilages which provide the necessary cushioning under loads and soft turns become thinner and sometimes completely break down. Due to thinning cartilage, the joints rub against each other during movements. This causes stiffness and pain.
3. Whiplash injuries
During a whiplash injury, the head moves forward and then leans back and again moves forward to the chest. The load on the muscles increases and they are sharply stretched which causes microcracks.
4. Muscle inflammation
Muscle inflammation is also called myositis. Infectious diseases such as SARS, flu, or viral sore throat can trigger muscle inflammation. Most often, myositis is not dangerous and passes by itself within a few days.
5. Lymph node inflammation
The accumulations of lymph cells can cause lymph node inflammation which results in neck pain. This is a sign that the body is struggling with infection concentrated in the neck and head.
Most often, this is due to flu, SARS, and ear infections. But sometimes the cause of swollen neck lymph nodes can be tooth decay, immune disorders, and even HIV.
How to Relieve Neck Pain?
The vast majority of neck problems are associated either with muscle strain or with worn joints. These situations don’t require special treatment. Discomfort usually passes within a few days. You can relieve neck pain using the following methods:
- Take pain medications
- Put a bag of ice or frozen vegetables wrapped in a thin towel around your neck. This will also help relieve swelling.
- If the discomfort persists after several days, a hot shower will help you relieve pain
- Do exercises that gently stretch your neck muscles and improve blood circulation. Please note that training is prohibited in case of acute pain or diseases of the cervical spine such as pinched nerve or hernia.

Sanford, legislators fight over money
Gov. Mark Sanford stepped into a Greer bank vault Monday morning, holding up stacks of cash, to renew his call for the state House to hold spending in check.
At about the same time in Columbia, House members were in a frenzy deciding how to spend $11 million that had just dropped into their laps.
If day one of the annual budget debate was any indication, the rest of the week should be a doozy.
"It's just become a war between the tax-and-spend Republicans and those who consider themselves fiscal conservatives," said Rep. Mike Anthony, D-Union. "Us poor Democrats just sat there in awe. I'm amazed at what's going on, and before the day was over, I was leaning toward the governor."
Stopover in Greer
Sanford's Greer stop was the first of four on the day as he took his case to the people. He said the House budget writing committee was being coy by breaking the $6.5 billion budget into three parts.
The main bill, a $6.3 billion plan that funds essential services, adheres to a 4.8-percent spending cap. The two additional bills spend another $230 million.
"Whether this budget is broken into three, fifteen or fifty parts, it grows government by more than 10 percent," Sanford said.
He also prodded the House to sink more money into repaying trust and reserve funds raided during lean years at the start of the century. The budget currently allocates $98 million to those funds, but the House determined that five other accounts were not "true" trust funds to avoid repaying another $46.7 million.
"The House passed a bill last year identifying the trust funds that needed to be repaid," Sanford said. "Now at the 11th hour to have this conversation about what is or isn't a trust fund is a little disingenuous."
Harrell fires back
Not to be outdone, House Speaker Bobby Harrell, R-Charleston, took his weekly television show on the road -- to the Columbia Employment Security Office. The prop was a not-so-subtle jab at Sanford over South Carolina's high unemployment rate.
Harrell said that government growth has averaged 3.9 percent a year since the Republicans gained control of the Legislature, and reiterated that the budget repays all "true" trust funds.
"The problem is we've got folks saying we're spending every dollar that's coming in," Harrell said. "That's not true, and we've got the documentation."
Much of Monday's debate on the floor centered on how to spend all of the $11 million in "magic money," as Rep. Marty Coates, R-Florence, referred to the extra cash that was added to the free-for-all Monday morning. The money came from increased lottery revenue.
Much of the money went to pay for infrastructure projects, including $1.5 million for the International Center for Automotive Research near Greenville. Another $3 million went for road expansion at the Port of Charleston, and $1 million was allocated to a Columbia road that serves the state Farmer's Market.
Anthony said the scramble to fund roads shows the severity of the situation.
"When yo•see Charleston, Columbia and Greenville asking for money for roads, it shows how we've totally neglected the infrastructure of this state," Anthony said. "And if the big cities are begging for it, what do yo•think it's like in rural counties?"
Rep. Bob Walker, R-Landrum, said the dash for cash was "ridiculous."
"We come down here and say we want to control spending, but the leadership of Ways and Means finds a way to spend every dime we get," Walker said.
There were attempts to trim spending in other areas – Rep. Murrell Smith, R-Sumter, tried to eliminate state funding for more than a dozen festivals and Rep. Ted Pitts, R-Lexington, tried to delay funding for six positions to monitor birth defects at the Department of Health and Environmental Control. Their proposals, however, were soundly defeated.
Still, Rep. Scott Talley, R-Moore, was encouraged by the effort.
"While we lost a lot of votes today, there's evidence that people are starting to wake up and realize that things have got to change as far as budgeting in South Carolina," Talley said.
