Dynamic contrast enhanced MRI parameters and tumor cellularity in a rat model of cerebral glioma at 7 T
PURPOSE: To test the hypothesis that a noninvasive dynamic contrast enhanced MRI (DCE-MRI) derived interstitial volume fraction (ve ) and/or distribution volume (VD ) were correlated with tumor cellularity in cerebral tumor.
METHODS: T1 -weighted DCE-MRI studies were performed in 18 athymic rats implanted with U251 xenografts. After DCE-MRI, sectioned brain tissues were stained with Hematoxylin and Eosin for cell counting. Using a Standard Model analysis and Logan graphical plot, DCE-MRI image sets during and after the injection of a gadolinium contrast agent were used to estimate the parameters plasma volume (vp ), forward transfer constant (K(trans) ), ve , and VD .
RESULTS: Parameter values in regions where the standard model was selected as the best model were: (mean ± S.D.): vp = (0.81 ± 0.40)%, K(trans) = (2.09 ± 0.65) × 10(-2) min(-1) , ve = (6.65 ± 1.86)%, and VD = (7.21 ± 1.98)%. The Logan-estimated VD was strongly correlated with the standard model's vp + ve (r = 0.91, P < 0.001). The parameters, ve and/or VD , were significantly correlated with tumor cellularity (r ≥ -0.75, P < 0.001 for both).
CONCLUSION: These data suggest that tumor cellularity can be estimated noninvasively by DCE-MRI, thus supporting its utility in assessing tumor pathophysiology.

So if you’re an avid reader of this site (thank you!), you will notice something different right about now. Something perhaps to the right of this text is an image, and yes, dear readers, you read right: I have written an eBook!
As I have alluded to in the past, I used to have serious problem skin, and it sort of made my life a wreck. I know there are bigger problems out there than acne (let’s just call it what it is, shall we?), but at the same time this is a health issue which can really affect how you feel about yourself. Plus, along the way I learned a number of tricks to obtain the (generally) clear skin I have now – and I want to share them with you.
In this book, you will learn all about my journey from seriously problematic, acne-ridden skin, to blemish-free, plump and smooth skin. You know my skin is super-sensitive, so anything that works on me is most likely to work on anyone. Plus, there are a number of embarrassing photos depicting my skin at its worst, which is always enticing!
In all seriousness, I really want to help anyone who is suffering from acne or any troubles with their skin. There are a number of really simple solutions that can do so much good for your complexion, but often our doctors and skincare “specialists” won’t tell you these. Well, I will.
And because I want to make it accessible to everyone, I’ve priced it at just $19.95. If someone had given me the solution to my acne woes for under $20, I would have probably made out with them or at the very least given them a peck on the cheek. Honestly, I spent hundreds on doctor’s visits, prescription medicine and expensive skincare products – and it was all in vain.
I am going to tell you what really works.
So, if you want to take the plunge and finally learn all of the hacks to get clear skin…
Thanks so much and I look forward to hearing about your results!

Rally for abortion rights in ACT
By Sue Bolton
CANBERRA — "No cop-outs, no committees, we've waited long enough" was the chant from the crowd as Wayne Berry, minister for health, introduced the Termination of Pregnancy (Repeal) Bill in the ACT Legislative Assembly. The chant was in response to a statement by chief minister Rosemary Follett that the issue might be referred to a committee.
Up to 250 women, men and children gathered on June 16 to show their support for the bill and for an abortion clinic in the ACT.
Speakers at the rally in support of repeal included the two independent MLAs, Helen Szuty and Michael Moore. Maureen Sheehan, assistant secretary of the ACT Trades and Labor Council, read out a motion passed by the TLC supporting repeal of the act and the establishment of an abortion clinic in the ACT.
Both Maryanne Campbell from the ACT Pro-Choice Campaign, which organised the rally, and Lara Pullin from Resistance pointed out that, although they supported the repeal of the Termination of Pregnancy Act (1978), this would not result in an abortion clinic in the ACT. Campbell called for "an abortion clinic to ensure women have the right of control over their own health".
The 1978 law was enacted to prevent the establishment of a free-standing abortion clinic by restricting abortions to the public health system.
To obtain an abortion in the ACT, a woman has to get a general practitioner and a specialist to support her in a referral to the medical superintendent of the public hospital. If the medical superintendent approves the woman for an abortion (there is a quota of 200 per year), her name is put on the elective surgery waiting list.
With the closure last year of one of the two public hospitals in Canberra, the waiting list has blown out. The woman might be on the list until the second trimester of pregnancy, or worse, until it is too late for an abortion.
The only other hospital in Canberra, Calvary Hospital, refuses to perform abortions, vasectomies or sterilisations on religious grounds.
Rosemary Follett and Kate Carnell, opposition spokesperson for health, have both said that they would support repeal of the Termination of Pregnancy Act but would oppose the funding of an abortion clinic. Between 1500 and 3000 ACT women travel to Sydney each year for abortions.
Lara Pullin called for "the reopening of Royal Canberra Hospital and other closed health facilities as a first step ate health services for all, and the funding of an abortion clinic in the ACT. The Follett government is just playing a game of divide and rule. We can't fall into that trap."
At the Pro-Choice Campaign meeting the following day, it was decided to extend the campaign by calling for the repeal of all laws which make abortion a criminal offence. For further information, ring Lara on (06) 258 8845.

The broadcasting industry is at the helm of entertainment for the customers. In the recent years, they have experienced a boom, which happened due to changing face of the advertisement sector. In this study, a top to down approach would be undertaken on the broadcasting media with an enhanced focus on the CBB channel. The study would critically evaluate the options and processes of CBB broadcasting and discuss on the flaws and possible gaps elaborately. Thus, the study would undertake the assistance of Use Case diagrams, Activity diagrams, and Domain class diagrams to shed further light onto such processes.
One of the crucial factors of the Broadcasting industry is to meet the needs of the consumers by ensuring full television coverage for 24 hours (Acma.gov.au, 2017).
Entertainment of the customers
The Broadcasting industry should assure that the television slots are all occupied so that no blank space appears during the live feed or during the airing of advertisements. This would confuse the consumers; as a result, they would switch channels.
Improved services and contents
The principle aim of the industry is to broadcast and develop high quality and non-commercial content with a narrow focus on the needs of the children, diverse audiences, and core communities of public media well as unserved communities (Wilson, Hutchinson & Shea, 2010).
The broadcasting industry has hatched plans to integrate with other forms of media to gain a competitive edge in the market.
The industry ensures that their transmission events are not delayed by any accounts since the customers would not be happy if their favorite show experiences eminent issues.
The channel should be reliable as they can procure a consistent array of highly educated and civil society informed content, which duly addresses multiple platforms (Sharrif & Kosmin, 2012).
The organisation CBB or this sector should acknowledge the effectiveness and competence of the market thus, procuring various strategies gaining the attention of the customers.
Innovation is a key driver in this industry and thus needs to promote highly innovated ideas that support public media efforts.
Favoring the public media
Public media and its entities are vital for the industry as well as the organizations working under it. Therefore, the industry should devise strategies to gain the favor of the communities by highlighting their cause, projects and initiatives (Tambini, 2015).
- The channel is ensuring to go for automated process, which may lead to de-employment
- The directors are discussing on adding extra two channels for enhancing the service delivery for the customers. The customer satisfaction ratings would go higher as the customers would view the channels with greater mobility and content.
- Ensure that the customers are satisfied with the highly educated content as failure may be detrimental for the organization. This is because if the customers remain dissatisfied, they might switch to the next channel for better content and quality.
- The factors acting as driving factors for the customers should be the new trading currency for the industry since TV ratings would shed a bright light on the contents most preferred by the customers.
CBB is a newly launched television channel broadcasting around the Newcastle, NSW. They are a subsidiary of a multinational organization and thus want to enter the markets of Australia. Their current ventures lie in the NSW territory. Initially, they are transmitting the same schedule of programs across their broadcasting areas with slight variations in the advertisements. They have ensured that local news gets the maximum coverage and thus in dilemma over the automation process, which would allow them to have coverage of live feed as well as that of advertisement slots so that they do not go blank during transmission.
Strategic, tactical and operational aspects of the company
CBB has ventured into Australia quite recently and is undertaking strategic decisions for capturing the Australian markets. For this, they have devised the Ads On Time (AOT) under their operational aspects. They are ensuring that their sales staffs sell all the ad slots so that the channel never experiences obstacles during the live feed. Yang, Zhang & Zou (2015) have opined that brand loyalty of the organizations would enhance considerably if advertisement during the live game matches. Thus, the organization is looking for extra benefits by allowing the advertisement transmission during cricket matches or rugby league. Moreover, Ghirvu (2012) has stated that organizations are looking to fill the ad slots during live feed would gain competitive advantage, as the clients would look forward to lucrative deal thus leading to a win-win situation.

Table 1: SWOT analysis
(Source: Goldsmith & Thomas, 2012)
Porter’s five analyses
The industry competition is analyzed by the five forces devised by Porter. The five forces analysis of the broadcasting industry is evaluated below:
|Bargaining power of Suppliers
||This factor quite is low as there are only suppliers namely the production companies and the group of directors, technicians, equipment, and anchors.
The factor shift towards the high when few suppliers are dominates the market (Encarnaçãob & Rabaey, 2013).
|Bargaining power of buyers
||This is a crucial factor as the brand loyalty can be an influential element. One of the prominent issues is that of the changing perceptions of the customers. This can be a negative factor as the alternative options are at large. The entrants and the substitutes are high and if the customers are dissatisfied with the channel, they can easily switch to other channels (O’Neil, 2012).
|Threats of substitutes
||In this case, the threats of substitutions are bleak. The substitutions can dominate and fetch a significant portion of the market that is now dominated by the existing companies.
Rivals or competitors can substitute the product or the services offered by the current organizations.
One of the prominent issues cites that substitutes may count on higher customer satisfaction after the existing players fail to procure improved services.
|Threats of new entrants
||This industry poses a potential for the entry of new entrants. One of the significant hindrances the entrants face is the barrier. However, the barriers are growing weaker with the advent of new technology; they are capable of penetrating the market (Salunke, Weerawardena & McColl-Kennedy, 2013).
They also implement growth strategies by aiming higher economic scales. Wood & Poltrack (2015) have pointed out that in this case, various niches are present within the same environment. The new entrants can ensure the breakdown of costs to enter the market and fetch the dominance of the current organisations.
|Competition among the rivals
||The intensity of rivalry is low since only a few of the broadcasting TV channels are present. All the channels produce the same products. Innovation and existence of varied opportunities are the primary reason for competition here. The companies here that become the source of competition set the benchmarking (Peneder & Wörter, 2014).

Ultrasound scanner price in Pakistan
This is the most significant question among the many doctors and young parents that which is better 3d or 2D ultrasound scanner? Let me clear the question is this article. To understand the difference between, firstly we discuss the history of 2D and 3D ultrasound. The 2D ultrasound machine came the news in 1995 and it was tested by professional scientists as a judgment that it is reliable or not. After that, it was introduced all over the world and it became the necessary device in all hospitals and clinics. Then, 2D ultrasound appeared in 3-dimensional devices in 1989, but unfortunately, 3D technology was not performed well due to low-quality images and it took around half an hour to show the result of one 3D image. While, after more improvement, it was again introduced in 1996. Form starting day, 3D ultrasound has become more and more widely used in medical centers. Nowadays, hospitals and clinics cannot imagine running their health centers without ultrasound. The recent study shows that ultrasound devices are most demanding in developing countries such as Hungary, India, Indonesia, Iran, Iraq, Pakistan etc. Well, whether it is the big hospital or small clinic, ultrasound devices are the essential part of the medical sectors. Today my topic is all about how these devices work and what do is ultrasound scanner price in Pakistan.
Major usages of Ultrasound-
Ultrasound devices are using in the variety of health centers in which includes; gynecology, obstetrics, cardiology and cancer detection. One of the main benefits of this device is that it helps to observe certain structure without using radiation and it can give results much faster than x-rays or other radiographic techniques. Here, I am highlighting some uses of ultrasound scanners;
- Use to determine the delivery date, and help to measure the size the of fetus
- To see the positions of the fetus, it is in the normal head down position or not.
- To determine the position of the placenta, it is properly developing in the uterus.
- Use to check out the number of fetuses in the uterus
- To see the sex of the fetus and determine the baby growth rate
- Checking whether there is sufficient amount of amniotic fluid cushioning the fetus
- Even it also use to determine whether the delivery will be normal or not
- It use to determine the abnormal functions or structures inside of the heart
- Checking the blood flow over the heart and main blood vessels
- It use to determine the blood flow to the kidney
- To check the stones in the kidney and to measure the prostate cancer early. In addition, this device also uses for diagnosis in emergency rooms.
The ultrasound device is consists of the control unit for focusing, transmitter pulse generator, digital processors a transducer, compensating amplifiers and systems for display. It also uses in different cases such as breast examination, cardiac, urological, gynecological, abdominal and to determine another type of diseases.
If you are a doctor and looking best quality ultrasound scanner in Pakistan, let sight Pakistan help you. They are offering top quality hospital equipment in all over Pakistan and offer low ultrasound scanner price in Pakistan.

Guyana: Main contenders confident
GEORGETOWN, Guyana, CMC- The two main contenders for the post of President Monday said they were confident of victory after casting ballots in the general election.
The presidential candidate for the ruling People’s Progressive Party Civic (PPPC) Donald Ramotar said he was confident and was looking “forward to establishing a regional administration which could improve the condition of our lives and at the national level I look forward to establishing a government which could represent all of the interests of our people”.
But his main challenger, David Granger, the retired Brigadier of the opposition grouping, A Partnership for National Unity (APNU), said he is equally convinced ‘that the majority of the Guyanese population have understood our message and will give us support this day”.
Granger said that the 2011 election is “vastly different” from previous poll.
“There has been tremendous momentum on the part of the population and people have turned out at our rallies in thousands and there’s a wave of expectation that life will be better for Guyanese people. There is a wave of expectation that life will be better for Guyanese people we are living a large country by Caribbean standards,” he added.
Ramotar acknowledged that the APNU appeared to have galvanized its traditional support base but remained confident that neither the APNU nor the Alliance For Change (AFC) will pull the PPP/C’s traditional supporters.
“There is no doubt about that because the record has been showing since 1992 that the PPP has been gaining more and more cross-over votes. I think this election will be bigger because we have been able to demonstrate that we don’t discriminate in our government policies and the resources of the country has been distributed to every single region very fairly,” said Ramotar.
Law enforcement officials say security has been beefed up for the poll in which 475, 496 voters will elect members for the 65-member National Assembly.
Police, as well as teams from the Joint Services, are deployed to several parts of the country to maintain law and order and the Private Sector Commission (PSC) has also set up its own security team and committee to provide assistance where necessary.
The major political parties have begun to call on supporters to stay calm, exude professionalism, and maintain an atmosphere of tranquillity.

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) – For a second year, Snowy Owls have been spending the winter well out of their normal Arctic range, with some turning up at the Jersey and Delaware shores.READ MORE: Philadelphia Police Investigating Fatal Crash After ATV, Vehicle Collide In Holmesburg
Although the number of the big white owls visiting this year isn’t as high as it was last winter, this year’s crop is offering researchers a treasure trove of information, and a fundraising effort to support the work is underway.
Last winter, Project Snowstorm took flight, outfitting visiting Snowy Owls with lightweight GPS transmitters that store information on their movements. Some of the birds are repeat visitors, packing data tracking their travels during the spring, summer, and fall, when they were out of the range of modern technology.
“They check in using cell towers every couple of days so basically, our research team gets texts from these owls as they travel around,” says Alexis Campbell, who leads the fundraising effort for the volunteer-staffed program.READ MORE: 3 Montgomery County School Districts To Require Masks Again Due To County's COVID-19 Level
Campbell says the transmitters are $3,000 a pop, so contributions are essential:
“We launched the Indiegogo campaign a few weeks ago. We have a goal of $15,000, and we’re exactly halfway there at this moment. All of the money that we raise will directly fund Snowy Owl research.”
The information is invaluable, shedding light on the lives and habits on of bird about which little is known. Most favor flat terrain that resembles their native Artic tundra — airports, corporate parks, and beaches. Some hunt in a relatively small area, while others range farther afield.

One Snowy, a third-year male dubbed Baltimore for the place where he was trapped and tagged, has forsaken “Charm City” for the Jersey Shore, apparently having decided that Avalon is “cooler by a mile.”

How much sodium in coors light?
If you’re trying to lower your sodium intake, it’s essential to know how much salt is in your favorite drinks. After all, dehydration isn’t a good look for anyone. So, how much sodium is actually lurking in that can of Coors light?
The Basics of Sodium
Before we dive into the nitty-gritty, let’s get familiar with some basics about sodium; this chemical element is denoted by “Na” on the periodic table and plays a critical role as an electrolyte in our bodies. We need sodium to help regulate blood volume and control muscle contractions alongside nerves transmission.
What Makes Up Coors Light Anyway?
For beer enthusiasts out there who care more about its ingredients than calories – instead of asking if coors light has gluten or not – here are the components: water (duh), barley malt (to create sugars from starches during fermentation), corn syrup or sugar (for additional sweetness), yeast (the crucial player transforming sugars mentioned earlier into alcohol) and hops flowers(used primarily for flavouring).
You’d be surprised how many food-grade items contain similar levels of sodium content as soft drinks! Notably, both corn syrup and sugar contain trace amounts of salt per serving. While processed foods usually have high contents because apart from adding flavor/saltiness they could also act as preservatives.
Take burger patties- research shows that one single patty contains approximately 100mg sodium; not too bad until when considering most people take two sandwiches per meal then include toppings such as lettuce or pickles so expect even more!
Unpacking these figures will help us see things better concerning drinks.
Comparing Coors Light Sodium Contents With Other Beverages.
So how does coors light measure up against other beverages regarding its amount of sodium? Let’s go through some comparisons and see if you’re better off with a bottle of water or Coke.
|Beverage||Serving Size||Sodium (mg)|
|Coors Light||12 oz can||104|
|Coke||12 oz can||39|
|Fresca||12 oz can||50|
Although there’s no salt in Coke or Fresca, the amount of sugar and artificial sweeteners they use is crazy!
Be warned: If you decide to order food over drinks, make sure that dry chicken breast has zero added sodium; otherwise, all else fails. Just drink an ice-cold glass of water and be grateful for healthy choices.
Warning Signs Of High Sodium Consumption.
You may not take notice at first, but overdosing on sodium elevates your blood pressure levels quickly. Not everyone reacts similarly after taking it though- some might show symptoms like sweating profusely while others will have increased thirst.
Signs That You Have Too Much Salt:
Raised Blood Pressure;
Edema/swelling caused by excess fluid accumulations throughout the body;
Dehydration which makes one feel useless.
Always try keeping away from too much salt consumption; Compton’s looking up – this diet helps bring down high bp!
Remember that Coors light is still beer-it feels attractive and tastes good-so enjoy responsibly! Those concerns in moderation should cause little harm even after ascertaining how much sodium content exists within each serving size (we hope our comparison tables gave useful insights). As long as indulgences don’t translate into binges week long. Cheers to restful nights without night sweats caused by high blood pressure!(word count-600)

Smith Chasing Nationwide’s Dash 4 Cash Million Dollars
Jackpot! JR Motorsport’s driver Regan Smith won the first round of the NASCAR Nationwide Series Dash 4 Cash program at New Hampshire Motor Speedway, banking $100,000 – and qualifying himself for the chance to win $1 million. If Smith can win the first three legs of the Dash 4 Cash and the Iowa race outright, Nationwide Insurance will award him an extra $600,000 – totaling one million dollars.
Smith and the top-three finishing NASCAR Nationwide Series championship contenders in last weekend’s race at NHMS – Chris Buescher, Elliott Sadler and Brian Scott – qualify to compete in the second round of Nationwide’s Dash 4 Cash program at Chicagoland Speedway on Saturday night with an opportunity to win $100,000.
Smith is the only one of the four drivers who qualified for the first round to make it to the second round. Chicago could be an obstacle for Smith though; in his five starts at the 1.5-mile speedway he has posted an average finish of 24.0 with a pre-race Driver Rating of 64.7 (23rd-best).
Sunoco Rookie of the Year candidate Chris Buescher will be making his series début at Chicagoland Speedway this weekend, but don’t count him out; he has finished in the top-ten twice this season on 1.5-mile speedways.
Among this round’s qualifiers, Sadler and Scott have enjoyed the most success at Chicago. Sadler has made nine starts there, posting one win (2012), four top-tens and an average finish of 15.6. While Scott has made seven series starts at Chicago posting three top-tens, his first career Coors Light pole, and an average finish of 9.8 – the second best average finish among active drivers.
The highest finisher of the four eligible drivers at Chicago will win the money and automatically qualify for the Dash 4 Cash at Indianapolis the following weekend. The next three highest finishing NNS regulars at Chicago not already qualified will also get to compete for the $100,000 bonus at Indianapolis. The last event at Iowa will carry the same qualifying requirements.
As part of the program, four fans will win an all-expense paid trip to Iowa Speedway where they will be randomly paired with the four eligible drivers. The fan paired with the driver who wins the Dash 4 Cash at Iowa will also walk away with $100,000.
Just outside the city known for making sport superstars sits Chicagoland Speedway, at the ready for the NASCAR Nationwide Series, and a stout list of entrants hungry for Chi-Town’s bright lights.
After becoming the youngest NASCAR Camping World Truck Series winner in series history last November at Phoenix International Raceway, Erik Jones won his second career NCWTS race last weekend at Iowa Speedway for Kyle Busch Motorsports. This weekend, the 18-year-old NASCAR Next driver will make his NASCAR Nationwide Series début for Joe Gibbs Racing in the No. 20 Toyota. Joining Jones is JGR teammate Sam Hornish Jr. in the No. 54 car. Hornish looks to continue to capitalize on his limited schedule this season; he has made four series starts posting one win (Iowa) and three top-fives. He leads the series in average finish at Chicago with a 4.8; in five starts at Chicago Hornish has posted three top-fives.
While many from NASCAR’s premier series enjoy a rare open weekend on the schedule, Kasey Kahne and Kyle Larson will be racing in Saturday night’s NASCAR Nationwide Series event. Kahne will return to the series behind the wheel of the No. 5 JRM Chevrolet for the first time since his win at Daytona two weeks ago. Larson will pilot the No. 42 Chevrolet for Turner Scott Motorsports. Kahne has made seven series starts at Chicago, posting one top-five finish. Larson has two starts at the 1.5-mile track posting an average finish 22.0.
Ryan Blaney is also appearing this weekend in the car that won last season, Team Penske’s No. 22 Ford. This will be Blaney’s series début at Chicago.
Standings Lead At This Point, Doesn’t Always Mean Championship
Being out front and having the points lead is a good place when competing for the NASCAR Nationwide Series championship, right?
Not so fast. The series points leader after the summer New Hampshire race hasn’t gone on to win the championship the last three seasons. At this same time in 2011, eventual champion Ricky Stenhouse Jr. was in third and Elliott Sadler held the points lead. In 2012, Sadler was the standings leader and eventual champion Stenhouse was third. In 2013 after the NHMS July race, Austin Dillon was third and Regan Smith held the point. All three years the driver in third at this point of the season has won the championship.
Three consecutive years could be viewed as a trend; one that current series standings leader Regan Smith, hopes doesn’t continue. Smith is eight points ahead of second-place Elliott Sadler and 13 points ahead of his JRM teammate Chase Elliott in third.
Chicago might be a hurdle for Smith this weekend. He has an average finish of 24.0 at the 1.5-mile speedway, his third worst average finish among active series tracks. His best finish at Chicago has been 13th (twice – most recently last fall).
This will be Sunoco Rookie of the Year standings leader Chase Elliott’s series début at Chicagoland Speedway. Elliott won on a 1.5-mile speedway (Texas) earlier this season.
Sadler has the best stats at Chicago of the top three championship contenders, in nine starts he has one win (‘12) and a pre-race Driver Rating of 94.3.


The next 12 months or so promises to be an exciting time for the UK motor industry. As mainstream car manufacturers start to roll out their electrification strategy, more and more new plug-in Hybrid and 100% electric models will start to appear in car showrooms alongside conventional petrol and diesel engine vehicles. How many of these will join the Motability Scheme in 2020 remains to be seen, but hopefully the arrival of a range of new plug-in Hybrid and fully electric models like the new Peugeot e-208, the new Vauxhall Corsa-e and the new Ford Puma SUV will mean more choice for Motability customers in 2020.
The Audi Q2 is getting a facelift with an updated look, fresh interior technology and new trim levels to bring it in line with rest of the Audi range.
The new Q2 gets a new rear bumper design and an updated grille plus new Matrix LED headlights as standard. On the inside there's a new gearlever as well as redesigned air vents and new seat trims. Four-way adjustable front seats are now included as standard.
At launch the new Audi Q2 will only be available with one engine choice (a turbocharged 1.5-litre four-cylinder petrol unit) with additional petrol and diesel engines introduced at a later date.

The outgoing A3 is the oldest car in the Audi range, but it looks like the changes for this new A3 hatchback don't appear to be very revolutionary. It certainly looks very similar to the previous version, but at 1,820mm wide and over 4,000 from nose to tail this new A3 has grown a fair bit. Most of the improvements are on the inside, with a huge new 10.1-inch touchscreen display and Audi's virtual cockpit is available as an optional extra.
A saloon version has also been announced, but no 3 door version is planned.

As the popularity of two-door cars continues to dwindle, BMW has decided to expand the 2 Series range with a new four-door Gran Coupe model. The Gran Coupe will share its platform with the all-new 1 Series, offering Motability customers more sportiness but with extra practicality. The 2 Series Gran Coupe recently won the 'Most Beautiful Car Of The Year' award at the 35th Automobile International Festival in Paris.

The C5 Aircross SUV Hybrid will be the first plug-in hybrid model from Citroen. It combines the advantages of a 100% electric drive for shorter daily trips (with an electric range of around 30 miles) with the versatility of a conventional engine for longer journeys. A 100% electric version of the C5 Aircross is also expected to join the Motability Scheme later in the year.

The new MG ZS EV is an affordable 100% electric SUV that uses a front-mounted electric powertrain with a range of around 160 miles. The MG ZS EV has a water-cooled 44.5kWh lithium ion battery that is capable of rapid charging from flat to around 80% in around half an hour. Styling is similar to the conventional MG ZS, with standard features including satellite navigation, Apple Carplay and Android Auto smartphone mirroring, DAB radio, a split-level boot and smart storage areas that maximise load capacity.

This is the car that Ford is planning on replacing the EcoSport with. The new compact crossover has SUV-styling, a raised ride height, bigger wheel arches and rugged exterior body protection. Much of the mechanics of this SUV will come from the Fiesta, including the 1.0 litre EcoBoost and a diesel engine, but the Puma will be longer, higher and wider than the Fiesta with a 95mm longer wheelbase.
Ford Puma Motability launch date: Order Now
The new, third-generation Ford Kuga shares its underpinnings with the very well received 2019 Focus, and boasts significant gains in terms of its internal space (it'll have class-leading rear legroom), safety equipment, connectivity (wireless phone charging comes as standard) and quality. There will also a PHEV hybrid model available.

EV's are all very worthy but they often lack any kind of 'want one' factor. Here's one though that many Motability customers will really covet - the all-new Honda e. It's a small urban car that doesn't go particularly far on a single charge when compared to the competition, but its an incredibly cool one with lots of showroom wow factor thanks to its quirky exterior and two 12-inch interior screens that sit at the centre of the dash.
In many ways the Honda e redefines what a full-electric city car can be.

The new Mazda CX-30 is a compact crossover that Mazda say will fit between the CX-3 and CX-5 in the Mazda SUV range. It’s based on the new Mazda 3, and the two cars share plenty of styling features. The new CX-30 SUV has a sporty stance, but it also looks rugged thanks to its black oversized wheel arches and trim.

The current Nissan Juke is the car that created the compact crossover segment when it was released in 2010. The new Nissan Juke will sit on the new Renault-Nissan Alliance CMF-B platform, which is also used by the new Renault Clio and the second-generation Renault Captur, meaning the new Juke will be available with plug-in Hybrid technology. There may even be a fully electric Juke at some point. The new platform should increase the overall size of the new Juke, giving passengers in the back much more room and the car an increased boot capacity.
Expected Nissan Juke Motability launch date: Out Now
The next-generation Nissan Qashqai is an incredibly important car for Nissan and Motability as it's consistently one of the biggest sellers on the Motability Scheme. The new Qashqai will probably ditch the diesel engine option (although this hasn't been confirmed), and only be available to order with either a petrol engine or as a plug-in Hybrid. A 100% electric version is thought to still be under discussion.
Nissan Qashqai Motability launch date: 2020 / 2021
The all-new Peugeot 208 should land with dealers late in 2019, with the 100% electric e-208 arriving soon after in the spring of 2020. The e-208 will share its looks with the petrol and diesel versions, but with no CO2 emissions, an expected range of over 200 miles and fast charging options this car could be a popular option for Motability users if the Advance Payment is sensible.
Peugeot e-208 Motability launch date: Order Now
The Peugeot 2008 is Peugeots smallest SUV available through the Motability Scheme, and the current version has always been up against some serious competition. It’s a popular car and a strong-seller for Peugeot, so the new version is an important car for them. The all-new 2020 Peugeot 2008 will feature a raft of impressive improvements over its predecessor, including the option of a 100% electric and Hybrid powertrain alongside traditional petrol and diesel engines. The electric model is expected to have a range of around 200 miles.

The current Renault Captur has been around since 2013, so this popular model from the French carmaker is clearly ready for an overhaul. This new second generation model will borrow much of its styling from the new Clio and is expected to be a little larger than the model it replaces. The biggest changes will be under the skin, thanks to a new platform that will reduce weight and allow the new Captur to feature a brand new plug-in Hybrid powertrain.
Renault Captur Motability launch date: Order Now
The Ateca started the SUV charge from SEAT and it has been transformative for the spanish carmaker, increasing sales and introducing new Motability customers to the brand who would previously not have chosen a SEAT.
The updated 2020 SEAT Ateca gets a range of updated petrol and diesel engine plus a refined exterior design, additional technology and even more driver appeal.
The Motability Advance Payment prices look good too.

Details of the all-new SEAT Leon have just been released. The new 2020 Leon is another new car that will feature a plug-in Hybrid for both the hatchback and estate versions when it debuts later this year. The new SEAT Leon will have a lot in common with its sister models, the Audi A3, Skoda Octavia and the next Volkswagen Golf, but with a sportier look, updated engines, a minimalist interior, improved connectivity and many of the new SEAT design features first seen on the impressive Tarraco SUV.

If you want an affordable electric supermini with tiny running costs then the new Skoda CITYGOe iV could well be the Motability car for you when it arrives in 2020. The new CITYGOe iV, which is similar in many ways to the Volkswagen e-up! and the SEAT Mii Electric (both of which are also due for release in 2020) has an 82 BHP electric motor and a 36 kWh battery that should be able to cover around 160 miles on a single charge.
We think it's good-looking compact car that should be well priced and, for the right owner, it'll be extremely frugal and great for zipping around town.
Skoda CITYGOe iV Motability launch date: Winter 2020
The standard version of the all-new Vauxhall Corsa 5 door (there’s no 3 door option this time) should arrive in showrooms towards the end of 2019, with the new 100% electric Vauxhall Corsa-e expected to arrive soon after. With a range of around 200 miles, the Corsa-e will available in two trim levels, with standard kit including a 10-inch infotainment touchscreen with Apple Carplay and Android Auto smartphone mirroring and a wide range of driver assistance systems.

Vauxhall has confirmed that production of the all new Mokka SUV will begin towards the end of 2020, with the first deliveries to Motability customers expected in early 2021. The next Mokka will include a new 100% electric variant which is expected to be launched at the same time as the new petrol and diesel versions. A fully digitalised cabin is also promised.
Vauxhall have also confirmed that the new car will lose the ‘X’ suffix, meaning the models official name will change from Mokka X to just Mokka.
Vauxhall Mokka Motability launch date: Winter 2020
The Vauxhall Grandland X Hybrid4 SUV will use a petrol engine and electric power to deliver what Vauxhall claims will be a total output of 300bhp and CO2 emissions of just 49g/km. It promises to offer an appealing blend of performance and efficiency, with a potential range of around 30 miles when driven on electric alone. Vauxhall have yet to announce the pricing for the new Grandland X Hybrid4, so we’ll have to wait a little while to see if this car will be available to order through the Motability Scheme in 2020.
Vauxhall Grandland X Hybrid4 Motability launch date: Early 2020
The new version of the Volkswagen Golf – first launched way back in 1974 – will land with VW dealers in 2020 as a five-door only model with new mild-hybrid engine options and loads of clever new tech. The styling of the new eighth-generation Golf is very familiar (albeit with a clearly revised new front end) but it’s on the inside where it has changed the most, with a smart new infotainment touchscreen, digital cockpit and new safety features. Engine wise, expect new 48V mild hybrids petrol engines and a revised GTE-badged plug-in hybrid.

Annie Taylor was about to drop $100 on a new pair of Steve Madden boots at the mall. Then she remembered to scan the barcode using the Price.com app and found the same pair online for about $30 less.
“Price finds all these websites I never even heard of and makes it easy to find deals,” said Taylor, a 31-year-old personal assistant who lives in Los Angeles and has been using the app since a friend recommended it. “I got $100 boots for $67, so I was pretty happy.”
Taylor is part of a rapidly growing cohort of US consumers turning to apps and web browser extensions that help them compare prices, find coupons and maximize loyalty rewards from retailers and brands. Most of the tools have been around for years but are suddenly in demand thanks to the steepest inflation in four decades. It’s the kind of shock that compels consumers to break from long-established shopping habits in search of new ways to save, especially during the holiday-shopping season.

"It’s incredible to think of what has occurred in the last twenty years. The tech bubble. 9/11. The wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. The Great Recession. The Syrian Civil War. The Arab Spring. And now the COVID-19 Pandemic, and unprecedented protests and clashes between authorities and civilians. Even the last few months, as people have come to joke, feel like years all by themselves. Impeachment. The primaries. Pandemic. Police. It’s too much. Overwhelming, yeah? Or is it just… life?"
Ryan talks about the chaos inherent in life and how we all can deal with it on today's Daily Stoic Podcast.

Dynamics of Room Temperature Ionic Liquids
Dr. Johannes Hunger
Room temperature ionic liquids are compounds that are entirely composed of ions. In contrast to conventional salts like sodium chloride they are liquid at room temperature. These substances are promising substitutes for conventional solvents in chemical processes and electrochemical devices. Due to their low vapour pressure ionic liquids have negligible impact on the atmosphere and are thus environmentally friendly. However, information on the dynamical properties of ionic liquids is scarce. Such information is vital to understand the solvation dynamics, in order to fully exploit their technological potential. It is further essential to overcome some shortcomings of these substances, like e.g. their rather high viscosities.
Currently, we investigate the dynamics of the hydrogen-bonded structure in such molten salts. In particular we study the energy transport and rotational dynamics in ionic liquids on a molecular level. In particular we focus on salts that form strong and directional hydrogen-bonds, similar to liquid water.

In 2003, two years before Batman Begins and a full year before Aliens vs Predator, design artist Sandy Collora turned from a nobody into a geek god. He released Batman: Dead End, a fan film that showed Batman facing off against the Joker, against Predators, and Aliens. The 8 minutes long short seen above premiered at the San Diego Comic Con and quickly became an internet sensation. It was pretty much everywhere, everyone in the industry wrote about it, and as it had been six years since Batman & Robin had killed its cinematic franchise, people really embraced the grimdark approach. That, and of course, the fun crossover aspect of it.
12 years later, Sandy Collora is back to obscurity. He did not become a famous studio director, and he didn’t even expand his portfolio of expensively made fan films. So what had happened? This documentary takes a look at Collora’s quick rise and fall. Which means it obviously has to be a terrible vanity project, right? A desperate last try to get back into public consciousness. I mean, look at the one-sheet below. “Visionary”, “Iconoclast”, “Rebel”, and a tagline that claims Collora “made history”. Here’s what I expected to see: an overly cocky and delusional Collora bashing everyone in the industry for not having believed in him, a preview of a Kickstarter project that – promise – will soon become a super successful blockbuster, and of course, a personal claim that it was him who inspired Christopher Nolan’s acclaimed Batman trilogy.
I gotta admit I was wrong about most of that. For a project that was probably both inspired and started by Collora himself, it’s not much of an ego fest. Collora still does have a big ego, and it shines through, but you do get that most of it is broken by now. And he surprisingly doesn’t blame anyone else but himself for it.
The first third of the documentary takes a look at Collora’s first steps, and yes, it is kinda groan-inducingly schmaltzy to have his father say that he was always interested in comic books. But then we get to see Collora’s talent at work, and it really is impressive. One of his first jobs was at Stan Winston Studios where he got to work on several big movies. He quickly became a great designer and the work of his that is shown throughout the movie is really amazing. Demanding more creative input on his projects, he got fired, but then wound up working with legends such as Henry Alvarez, Rob Bottin, Rick Baker, and Steve Wang. He also managed to start a toy company that worked with both Lucasfilm and Marvel. But, having witnessed both Steven Spielberg and James Cameron (on The Abyss) it’s no wonder that he eventually wanted to hit it big himself.
I’m not going to comment much on the actual Batman: Dead End shoot, but there’s one amazing claim. Collora says that he nearly got Sylvester Stallone for Batman and Mark Hamill for the Joker. He said that he had met with Sly who actually wanted in on it – remember, Stallone had a poor decade between Cop Land (1997) and Rocky Balboa (2006) – but when his agent noticed that it was to be an inofficial Batman movie and not the real deal, he was out, and so was Hamill.
What’s strange is that the documentary omits two important things. For one, it never reveals that his Joker actor Andrew Koenig has already died by suicide which, honestly, should be part of a feature-length documentary on what was probably that guys most known work. They also omit the fact that Collora did a second Batman fan film, with the same Batman actor and most of his original crew. World’s Finest premiered in 2004, but simply wasn’t as popular as the original. It got praise as well, but people got impatient. Enough fan films, they were thinking, do a feature already. While he admits that he never got an actual offer to direct a big studio movie, he says that he had had a lot of projects on his table, among them Shazam, a Creature from the Black Lagoon remake, xXx 2: State of the Union, Snakes on a Plane, and John Carpenter’s Vampires 3. He doesn’t really elaborate on why he never got signed, but it seems that he demanded a lot of creative control the suits weren’t ready to give him. Studio friends told him to just go with it and over time just earn a position that would give him the control he longed for, but he insisted. Soon, the negotiations dried out and his career went on to hit a, well, dead end.
Probably still a giant egomaniac, he went on and did an original low-budget science-fiction movie titled Hunter Prey in 2010. It wasn’t released theatrically, and while he claims that it was rather successful as an overseas DVD release, every movie fan of course knows that no one ever talks about Hunter Prey. Today, it’s not an underground recommendation, and it’s neither a Terminator nor a Duel kind of debut. I haven’t seen it myself, mostly because the trailer makes it look like a dull Star Wars: Republic Commando rip-off, but this documentary makes one observation pretty much clear. While Collora’s fall has humbled him quite a bit, to this day he doesn’t seem to have noticed that he isn’t much of a storyteller. During the documentary he talks about two unmade projects called The Circle and Shallow Water, and although he does have amazing illustrations for it, and an inspiring enthusiasm for everything that has to do with designing aliens and monsters, there’s never a fascination for great heroes, tales, or adventures at display. The Predator for example has a great design, but it didn’t became an icon just because of its look. It became an icon because it was an element of something greater. The movie had unforgettable music, great directing, a lovable supporting cast, and Arnold at his peak.
I gotta praise Erid Dow who made a really interesting movie out of this. There are many interesting comments by friends and colleagues of Collora who don’t shy away from indicating Collora’s faults, and Collora himself is just interesting to listen to. The documentary looks great, has solid editing and whether you liked Batman: Dead End or not, it’s a fascinating look at an eccentric man who was geekdom’s king for a day. If only Collora realized that he is a masterfully gifted illustrator, designer, and sculptor first, and that he should only do that and let storyteller giants do the writing and directing, he could already be among greats like Rick Baker, Robert Kurtzman, and Ray Harryhausen.
So, will we have seen the last of Sandy Collora? I don’t know, and he doesn’t seem to know either. As he says, he’ll always work on new stuff, and he even directly addresses the Weinsteins to give him a call, but as I said, it doesn’t appear he ever really got why it never lifted off. I don’t know whether it’s pure coincidence or great moviemaking, but the final image of the documentary is just brillantly fitting. It shows Collora on a boat catching a fish and reeling it in. He looks at it proudly, then throws it back into the water. Perfectly sumps up his own story.
No official rating, but if you’re into documentaries about moviemaking in general, I heartily recommend it.

So So Def’s Princess of RnB, Dondria, gave her fans a treat by covering one of her favorite artist, Brandy. Take a listen to this rising Icon show off her skills, singing Something’s Missing. She definitely did Brandy justice on this one. I can’t wait for her new album to drop, which is slated for the summer of 2013.

2013 better get ready because Dondria definitely is here to stay.
Q. Parker (of 112) recently dropped his brand new album: The Manual, and believe me it’s worth the purchase. The 112 singer, brings the essence of R/B back to the forefront with songs like Yes, and Show You How. This time he lends his voice to the classic Donnie Hathaway song: This Christmas. Enjoy!
So So Def’s r/b princess, Dondria, teamed up with Tyra B (Giving Me A Rush), & Bliss (Only One For Me) to cover Amerie’s hit song: I Just Died. The ladies drop a perfect vocal on this cover, and what can I say about Dondria? She’s 25, and on her grown woman now. I must say I can’t wait to see her continue to come out of her shell. And Tyra B has not lost a thing! Oh my goodness she started this cover off right. And I’m falling in love with the group Bliss more and more with each song they drop. Check out the video below…and be sure to download.
Sidenote the ladies got the stamp of approval from the original singer..check out Amerie’s response to the video.
Buy: Amerie-I Just Died
Dondria gave her friendfffans a treat for her weekly Phatfffat Friday, in the form of an acoustic cover of Destiny’s Child hit song, Emotions. Just the pure effortlessness that she sings with is simply amazing. Teaming up with Xeryus Gittens (on guitar), and Corey Stevenson aka Broadway in the background, just another flawless cover by the rising r/b icon. Enjoy. And download the mp3 below.
Download-Dondria (Cover) of Emotions
Ah the question is never how good is Dondria when it comes to singing, the question is when will she get a song like this that truly displays what she has to offer? Well last year, So So Def’s recording artist Dondria sat down and paid homage to her idol Beyonce, by singing 1+1. The song was written by The Dream…and after over 800K views, I would say this is the best cover of the song I have heard. Check it out…and watch Dondria “show out.”
Download-Dondria (Cover) 1+1
On the heels of her hottest Duets mixtape to date: Dondria Duets 3:90’s Edition, I thought I would put up some of the rare finds from the Queen of the Remix. A lot of people have been asking me about where they can find the mp3 versions of her singing songs like 1+1 by Beyonce, the Headlines (Remix), her feature on DJ Diamond Kuts hit One for Me & more. So just click the links, and enjoy!

We lunched recently and thoroughly enjoyed it. The wait staff were very attentive, friendly and really made a simple lunch superb. We had a pizza and a risotto, both of which were cooked superbly. We also had a milk shake and a pineapple juice with mint and ginger which was very refreshing. We noted they had lovely Italian gelato and pastries available, and if we could have would have partaken of these as well. The wine list looked impressive and being able to enoy a premium quality wine by the glass is a very welcome suprise. Thoroughly recommended.
