What is it?
Meet the most advanced production car yet to wear the three-pointed star.
Not since the very first Mercedes-Benz models started rolling off the production line in 1926 to set the brand on course for global luxury car prominence has Stuttgart attempted to produce something approaching the engineering complexity and sheer technical ambition of the new S-Class saloon.
“In investment terms, no other Mercedes model comes close,” says Jürgen Weissinger, the man charged with the development of the seventh-generation S-Class and its upcoming new sister model, the electric EQS.
The Mk7 S-Class isn’t just new; it also represents an entirely different engineering and technical philosophy to the car it replaces. It’s one centred on electrification, digitisation and connectivity, albeit within the flagship model’s traditional values of comfort, refinement and performance.
It’s the first Mercedes developed to drive fully autonomously without a driver, if only within the confines of a suitably networked parking garage, where it will search for empty bays and park itself fully remotely. This is part of a newly developed Park Pilot system that draws on level-four autonomous driving technology not yet offered by any competitor.
Furthermore, the S-Class now supports level-three driving at an EU-prescribed top speed of 37mph (at first only on selected sections of German autobahn) as a function of a new Drive Pilot system that uses lidar, short- and long-range radar, ultrasonic sensors, cameras and, it’s claimed, the most advanced GPS yet to feature in a production car.
Another first is over-the-air capability, which allows remote software updates to be made for more than 50 different components via an embedded SIM card.
It’s a bold leap in technical terms even by S-Class standards, driven by recent advances made by rivals such as the latest Audi A8, BMW 7 Series, Lexus LS and Tesla Model S, no less, and Mercedes knows it. We could sense the nervousness of its normally self-assured engineers during the car’s launch in Germany last week.
Although the new S-Class heralds many new developments, it will rely on some tried-and-trusted powertrains as it enters the market. From the start of UK deliveries in December, it will offer two straight-six engines, both carried over from its predecessor with mild upgrades.
Included is a turbocharged 2.9-litre diesel developing 282bhp in the S350d (available in standard rear-wheel-drive and optional 4Matic four-wheel-drive guises) and 335bhp in the S400d 4Matic. It’s joined by a turbocharged 3.0-litre mild-hybrid petrol making 435bhp in the S500 4Matic, which we’re driving here.
Further options are planned to follow, including a new twin-turbocharged 4.0-litre mild-hybrid petrol V8 in the new S580, as well as a newly developed plug-in hybrid powertrain that’s claimed to provide the new S580e with an electric-only range of up to 62 miles – more than double that of its predecessor, the S560e – on the WLTP test cycle.
And that’s not all: the upcoming Maybach S650 will maintain an S-Class tradition started in 1992 by continuing with a twin-turbocharged 6.0-litre petrol V12.

Colfax farm to host Chippewa Valley Farm-City Day
12 Aug 2019
Wisconsin agriculture is still ranked as the No. 1 state industry and is using every measure to maintain its economic impact on the state. One resource that local farms are finding to be highly successful is development of agricultural attractions that invite local residents and tourists onto their land to experience the peaceful but energized farm environment. In Wisconsin, some of those activities include u-pick fruits and vegetables, community supported agriculture (CSA) pickup, corn mazes, hay rides, etc.
Agritourism – also called agritainment, agricultural tourism, agritourism or farm tourism – does not have a single definition. In essence, agritourism combines elements of the tourism industry with elements of the agritourism industry by bringing the public to farms.
Agritourism is recreation at its finest! Visitors might tour a vineyard to explore winemaking or discuss the process of transforming grapes into high-quality wines. Younger guests (as well as many adults) may discover that goats are not dogs with horns, donkeys are different from horses, milk does not originate in a plastic container in the grocery store and chocolate milk does not come from brown cows. Visitors can pick pumpkins, apples, cherries, and other produce; or they can navigate corn mazes. Attendees are adding hayrides, barnyard animal visits, and dairy treats from a local creamery to the top of their “fun-things-to-do” lists.
Many people travel to relive fond memories. In the case of agritourism, some visitors will choose a farm visit to rekindle memories of the simple, rural lifestyle they remember from childhood. Depending on the farm experience, guests may pay money for food, lodging, transportation, or souvenirs, but they are really buying a sentimental journey. These happy visitors will return, and they will tell their friends about their experience.

Brazil’s Wäls Brewing first landed on our radar at the 2014 World Beer Cup in Denver. There, Tiago Carneiro and José Felipe Carneiro were two of the more rambunctious award winners, jumping onto the stage with zeal, hooting and hollering in their native Portuguese. Fast forward to late February 2015, and news broke that Wäls had been acquired by AmBev, a subsidiary of Belgium-based Anheuser-Busch InBev.
Now, Wäls’ “satellite brewery” (according to a DRAFT Magazine article) is opening in Chula Vista under the name NOVO Brazil Brewing Co. Representatives told WC that the two businesses have some shared business partners, but that they should be viewed as two distinct breweries. In mid-March, NOVO began producing the first of its 14 planned beer styles. So far, they’ve made Session Cacau IPA, Rio IPA with Simcoe hops, and a Trippel. Their tasting room is set to open this month (their Facebook page reports potentially the 18th).
Connections between San Diego and Brazil go back even further.
In 1995, San Diego and Campinas (two hours northwest of São Paulo) became sister cities, poised to engage culturally and commercially. In Campinas, the creator of Brazil’s RateBeer equivalent opened Bar Brejas, serving beers from all over the world.
Back in San Diego, censuses show nearly 4,000 Brazilians reside in the county. “Brazilian Day” is a popular and growing event, returning to Pacific Beach in September.
Locals Green Flash have an especially cool connection to Brazil. During SDBW 2013, Green Flash packaging supervisor Chris Weber (whose wife is Brazilian), hosted employees from Porto Alegre’s Seasons Craft Brewing. Earlier in the year, Weber had travelled to Brazil and collaborated on a hop-heavy IPA.
Seasons’ Founder Leo Sewald told us they visited plenty of spots here in SD: Green Flash, Stone, Alesmith, Ballast Point Home Brew Mart, Port/Lost Abbey, Belching Beaver, Amplified Ale Works, Pacific Beach Ale House, Neighborhood, White Labs, The Tap Room, Crazee Burger, Keg and Bottle, The Homebrewer, and Latitude 32 Pub.
As for beers, the group took to Stone Ruination IPA, Green Flash Green Bullet, Ballast Point Sculpin IPA, and AleSmith Double Hammerhead. They also got their hands on a barrel-aged Rare Form from Amplified Ale Works thanks to brewer Cy Henley.
On Wednesday, Mike Hess Brewing released their creation; yesterday, URBN St. released their Belgian-inspired Unite Red Ale; and today, Culture Brewing’s two locations will tap kegs at noon and Mosaic-hopped casks at 5 p.m.
More participating locations include AleSmith, Ballast Point Little Italy, ChuckAlek, Intergalactic, Monkey Paw, Karl Strauss Downtown, and Rock Bottom La Jolla. Employees from Green Flash, 2Kids, White Labs and Stone participated as well. Be on the lookout for those releases; let us know and we’ll update this post.
A few local breweries have begun taking advantage of a new law allowing them to sell packaged beer at farmers’ markets. Sampling directly is not yet allowed, but another bill changing that will hopefully get passed.
Mike Hess Brewing brand ambassador Neal Brosnan was at the North Park Farmers’ Market yesterday. Word from the brewery is that they’ll continue posting up every Thursday. Update: According to Cody Thompson of ThreeBZine, Ramona’s ChuckAlek Independent Brewers sells at this market as well.
Also, Modern Times’ party ambassador Derek Freese was spotted at the Pacific Beach Farmers’ Market a few Tuesdays back; they’ll continue their presence weekly.
If you know of more breweries doing the same, let us know in the comments.
Here’s the website for SD’s weekly markets; support local food and local beer!

4/4 5th Annual Mission Valley Craft Beer Festival
First, some news on what’s happening today, Friday, January 23:
— According to their Facebook page, Half Door Brewing Company in the East Village opens for the first time today at 5 p.m. That will make them the 99th brewery in San Diego County, right on the heels of Wavelength and Kuracali.
– Close to Half Door, Mission Brewery releases their “Don’t Act Like You’re Not Impressed” collaboration with Alpine Beer Co. at 4 p.m. The beer is, of course, an IPA, with 9 hop varieties. Dueling casks of the 7.5% beer — one dry-hopped with Mosaic, the other dry-hopped with Citra — will be tapped at the same time. Alpine will release the beer next Tuesday at their tap room, as will a few lucky SD accounts.
— Today is also the last day of the 59th Annual American Hop Convention, hosted by Hop Growers of America and held at Rancho Bernardo Inn & Stone Brewing Co. There, Douglas MacKinnon (CEO of 47 Hops and former executive director of Hop Growers of America) provided some interesting insight: yields were down in 2014 and prices continue to rise as growers attempt to keep up with the increased demand for hops.
Hop growers last year planted an additional 3,600 acres of hops for a total of 38,011 acres — the most since 39,726 in 2009 — but yields dropped by 4.79 percent because of an unseasonably hot July in the Pacific Northwest, where 98 percent of all commercially-grown hops were harvested.
“In 2015 there’s no margin for error for hops growers,” MacKinnon said. “The hop acreage increased by 10 percent in 2014, but the craft beer industry grew by 20 percent.”
More interesting tidbits: 1) CTZ made up 23 percent of the hops planted, with Cascade second at 16.6 percent. 2) Germany is the world’s top alpha producer, owning 44 percent of the market. The U.S. is second at 39 percent; less than a decade ago these roles were reversed. 3) The top countries from which the U.S. imported hops: Germany, UK, and Australia.
– And for those who like to plan ahead, here’s a short list of events coming up in Febrewary:

Hypnotherapy Brighton, Hove & Lewes
Overcome stuttering and speaking fluidly
Stuttering, aka stammering may be something you find that you commonly do, or perhaps only in certain situations. You will no doubt find that it becomes worse when nervous, or when the situation is in some important to you.
Different people find that they get blocked, stuck or repeat certain words or letters. Perhaps you find elongated vowels.
Stuttering can have a profound affect on the way you feel about yourself causing self-imposed isolation, anxiety, stress, shame, or possibly being a target of bullying.
Maybe you fear how you are perceived by others, or that you've got an interview or important meeting and would like to make a change. Perhaps you've just had enough of it and want to do something about it.
Though stuttering is a physical condition, there can often be a psychological aspect linked to this. If you stammer you'll know that there are 'good days' and 'bad days', or some situations that make it better or worse than others.
Talking with someone can help you to identify what it is you are doing which makes it reduce.
Often we think that the future will be the same as it has been in the past i.e. I always stammer at interviews and so I know I will at this coming one. Of course the past does not predict the future and Hypnotherapy can assist you in getting a clear picture of the future you would like to have happen.
In addition, Hypnotherapy can be useful to analyse the situation that first triggered the stutter, and change beliefs and associations about it
If you have any you'd like to talk more about it, and to see whether I could help you, then give me a call on 07949 989986 or email email@example.com
Go to my Hypnosis Downloads page for downloads that may help you to overcome stammering.

Say goodbye to boring recipes and hello to exciting flavors!
Oat Bran: A Versatile Ingredient and Its Seamless Substitutes
Oat bran, a nutrient-rich flour derived from the outer casing of oatmeal grains, has gained popularity as a wholesome ingredient in baking.

However, circumstances may arise when you find yourself without oat bran or seek alternatives that cater to specific dietary preferences or allergies.

It boasts an abundance of dietary fiber, essential for maintaining a healthy digestive system and promoting overall well-being. Additionally, wheat bran contributes significant amounts of vital nutrients, including iron, magnesium, and zinc. When substituting wheat bran for oat bran, maintain a 1:1 ratio, adjusting the quantity based on your recipe’s specific requirements. Its slightly coarse texture lends a unique character to baked goods, adding a subtle yet noticeable dimension to their overall appeal.
Oatmeal: A Nutty and Chewy Stand-in
Oatmeal, a breakfast staple, emerges as a natural substitute for oat bran. Its inherent nutty flavor and slightly chewy texture seamlessly integrate into various recipes, replicating the culinary experience of oat bran. Moreover, oatmeal is a powerhouse of nutrients, providing ample protein, fiber, and an array of essential vitamins and minerals. Utilize oatmeal as a 1:1 substitute for oat bran, fine-tuning the quantity as needed to achieve the desired consistency and texture in your culinary creations.

ISKANDAR PUTERI: Johor government plans to introduce a large-scale urban farming policy as part of measures to help people cope with the rising cost of living.
Housing and local government committee chairman Ayub Jamil said the move would involve cooperation from local authorities to utilise unused land in their respective areas.
“Any unused land in the city will be used to plant vegetables, so that the people can save on daily expenses for food and focus on other needs.
“It does not require a huge allocation and can be implemented fast.”The local authorities can help identify any unused land, clear it and get seeds or plants from the Agriculture Department.
“Before long, the crops can be harvested, ” he said.
Ayub said he would take measures to carry out the plan and that the community farms once ready would be handed over to residents association committees or NGOs to be managed.
He said any unused parking space would also be used for a night market and farmers market, especially for those living in People’s Housing Project (PPR) areas.
“This plan is to help those in the lower income group.
“The local authorities can help by setting up the infrastructure such as lighting and see to licensing aspects, especially during Ramadan.
“We want to help the people, especially in view of the current economic situation, ” he said, adding that business licences would also be offered at a cheaper rate to attract youth entrepreneurs.
Ayub, who is also Rengit assemblyman, said the main important factor was to ensure business locations were kept clean at all times.
He also said that he planned to revive residential committees at PPRs and housing areas.
“We need an organised action committee that can be trusted with dealing and solving any issues involving the people, especially regarding cleanliness of the environment, ” he added.


The Niger Delta Power Holding Company, NDPHC, has opened up on allegations levelled against it by the Imo State government, that it contracted some indians to “steal” transformers from Egbu Power Station, Owerri.
In a statement signed by the company’s Media Adviser, Sanya Adejogun and sent to INNONEWS, the NDPHC disclosed that 2* 150MVA and 2×60 MVA 330/132/33V transformers at the Owerri substation were installed and evacuated for maintenance.
The company said it actually contracted the installation and energizing of the project to Messes AK-AY Eletrik
It further disclosed that the transformers which were installed over 10 years ago were neither energised nor properly maintained.
It said the transformers were recently tested by experts who recommended vacuum drying process to remove ingressed moisture trapped in them.
As a result, the Company said it became imperative for them(transformers) to first be uninstalled and transported to GTA Factory in Lagos for the oven drying and then delivered back to Owerri for final erection and energisation.
The statement quoted the NDPHC Executive Director, Networks, Engr IfeOluwa Oyedele, as disclosing that dispatched letters have been sent to Governor Hope Uzodinma of Imo State and Managing Director, Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN), intimating them of the development.
According to Oyedele, “The was no attempt to steal the transformers. The Indians are workers of GTA, subcontractors to our EPC Contractor, Messrs. Ak-Ay Elektric, who went to take the transformers to their workshop for vacuum drying and testing.”
To this end, he sought the cooperation of citizens of Imo State to allow the Contractor to immediately commence work and for them to complete in record time.
“This statement, therefore, corrects a misunderstanding about the intention and status of the Contractors as published by a section of the media at the weekend.
“We thank the Government and people of Imo State for their vigilance and sustained cooperation to ensure the protection and security of government properties and our workers,” Oyedele further said.

NOTICE : HOLISTIC BLEND IS NO LONGER IN PRODUCTION
Meet Holistic Blend Dog Food
Holistic Blend started in 1993 with a goal of revolutionizing the pet food industry. Their slogan is, “if we can’t eat it, why should our pets?”

Each one of the offerings from this line contains chelated minerals, whole grains, fruits, antioxidants, and fresh herbs. All of the foods are balanced out with Omega 6 and four fatty acids.
Every brand from Holistic Blend has a goal they are looking to achieve for your pup while they enjoy the food. For this line, they hope the food helps your pups’ skin and coat, lowers their allergies, and helps regulate their bowel movements.
- Lamb and Rice
- Chicken, Rice, and Vegetables
Next, we have the grain-free blend that uses no rendered meats, soy, dairy, corn, BHT, BHA, or artificial anything. The goal for this food is to help your pup maintain a healthy weight, improve digestive health, support skin and coat, and maximize flavor and nutrition.
The food is cooked at a low temperature so they can lock in as many of the nutrients as possible and when you slow cook the food, it also helps keep the delicious flavor dogs love.
- Grain-Free Marine 5 Fish
- Grain-Free Turkey and Salmon
The Perfect Blend formula contains no by-products and has added probiotics for additional gut health. The food uses high-quality grains for energy and slow-cooking to maximize flavor and nutrition.
This food also contains no corn, wheat, soy, or artificial anything. Compared to some of the other offerings this food provides a higher protein concentration for more active dogs.
- Chicken and Whitefish
We also felt that it was worth mentioning that Holistic Blend offers a variety of health supplements that you can give your dog along with their regular diet. Here they are below with a brief description of the benefits to each.
- Glucosamine HCL Complex – This comes in a liquid and is intended to help dogs rehabilitate damaged cartilage and support joints as they age.
- Yucca – This supplement is useful for hip dysplasia, arthritis, bone problems, and inflammation. The company says your dog can take this to reduce pain and increase mobility.
- Fresh Licks – This is a homeopathic remedy for bad breath and gas. It comes in a dropper, and you can add this to your dog's water bowl to help improve the smell of their breath and gas.
- Bee Pollen – Known as a superfood to humans you can also give this to your dog to help with a wide variety of issues. Overall, the supplement enhances vitality, increases fertility, and raises your pups overall wellbeing.
- Non-Drowsy Calmer – This supplement helps your pup relax during times of high stress like car rides, storms, or grooming. This comes in a dropper and is safe for daily use on pups older than six months. It’s a homeopathic remedy, so it contains no drugs, only all-natural ingredients.
Holistic Blend Recall History List:
During our research, we did not find any recalls of Holistic Blend dog food.
The best way to decide if a food is right for your pup is to buy it and try it out for yourself. Before you do that though, you could read reviews about what other pet parents have to say about the food. That is the next best way to determine if something will work for you.
Holistic Blend has an excellent reputation online with all of their foods rated 4.0 or higher. Many happy customers say the food has helped with urinary tract infections and they love how it helped make their pups coat shiny and soft.
The most common concerns we see about the food is that their dog will not eat it even though they are not typically a picky eater.
No More UTI
- Shakira struggled with a UTI and struvite crystals for four months, and the vet put her on Hill's c/d. She didn't seem to be doing well on the vet food (lethargy and both she and her breath smelled horrible!!), so I did some research and found this food. She's been on it for over seven months and no problems yet. Not only is the infection and crystals gone but her coat is silky smooth, and she doesn't smell anymore! – Chewy Customer
Smooth Switch Over
- You always worry when changing dog food, what will it do to their system, will they like it, will they have any allergic reactions, etc. This was the easiest switch over; our mini toy poodle LOVES this food. She was on Bil-Jac and random one day started vomiting and reading reviews of this Holistic Blend we thought we would give it a try. Best switch over Ever! Macie can't wait to eat. – Chewy Customer
So far, GREAT!
- I bought a 3-pound bag of Holistic Blend Grain Free to test with my dogs. They love it! The kibbles are not tiny, but they are small enough to be easily consumed by my 3 Havanese. No problems are transitioning from their previous food and no tummy upsets. Poops are solid, not runny at all. Very pleased after four days of feeding this brand. – Chewy Customer
My Dog Wasn’t a Fan
- I was excited about this food, but unfortunately, my dog refuses to eat it. I thought it was just because it was new food at first and she would get used to it like she usually does, but it has been weeks, and she still won't eat it. It has great ingredients which is why I gave it a 2. – Chewy Customer
The Best Ingredients For The Best Nutrition
Holistic Blend dog food contains some of the best ingredients we have ever seen in a dog food. With a seemingly endless list of protein, vegetables, fruits, and healthy oils the company packs a ton of nutrition into their food and based on their reviews the results speak for themselves.
Pet parents and dogs are happier when serving Holistic Blend, and we think you would be too after giving this excellent brand a shot.

Drawing inspiration from both the M2 and i8, the BMW iM2 Concept is an all-electric sports car that strips out all the luxuries to offer “great acceleration, balance and a competitive price”, said its designer David Olivares. It’s also equipped with an xDrive all-wheel drive system, short front and rear overhangs and 20″ wheels. Continue reading for more pictures and information.
“Thought up by David Olivares, this futuristic all-electric sports car is focused on offering its driver an enthusiastic experience behind the wheel – as long as they’re not racing anybody over a long distance. All things considered, the concept sounds enticing. You would still need to abandon hope of defeating petrol-powered rivals over long distances, but sprinting to 60 mph or covering the quarter mile should be a breeze,” reports Car Scoops.

One of the most common ways to ruin a drone is to get it wet, which is why you need to monitor the weather before you take your drone out flying.
Knowing the water hazards
A spontaneous downpour or even just prolonged flight in misty conditions can cause enough water to build up to short out the electronics in your drone. Flying in snowy conditions can also mean sudden doom for your drone if you aren’t cautious. Your drone produces a lot of heat while flying, and while snow is dry when it’s frozen, it won’t stay frozen when it hits your warm drone.
The same goes for drones that crash in soft snow. Snow might soften the fall but it won’t take long for the heat from your battery and motors to liquefy the snow and damage your drone.
Another danger is flying your drone over water. Getting shots over the water can be really awesome, but all it takes is a quick gust of wind or a miscalculation on your battery charge, and your drone can go flying into the drink and poof. No more drone.
Now there’s a way around this danger. You can protect your drone with a hydrophobic coating.
Protecting your drone with a hydrophobic coating
If you want to fly over water or in the middle of a downpour or snowstorm, you can do so without having to worry about crashing into the water. In recent years, scientists have made some amazing advancements in hydrophobic technology. Hydrophobia is the fear of water. Hydrophobic means water repellant! Now you can simply apply a hydrophobic coating to all of the parts of your drone and your drone will be ready to fly in wet conditions.
Before you go dunking your drone in water to test the effectiveness of your hydrophobic spray, make sure you properly coat your device.
To properly apply a coating, you must dismantle your drone so that all of the working pieces and parts are exposed.
Using the applicator that comes with the hydrophobic chemical, coat all of the internal circuit boards, wiring harnesses, motors, camera gear, and so on.
Try to not get any on the lens of the camera, as it could smudge.
Make sure that the coating has dried, and then re-assemble your drone.
Make sure that you limit how much you touch the treated electronics. Most coatings are smudge resistant, but you can wear them off by touching and wiping.
After you reassemble drone, give it a good coating on the outside.
You will want to make sure you don’t get any of the spray on the battery terminals or connectors. The coating could create a barrier that impacts the flow of electricity between the battery and the drone.
Once the coating has finished drying, take your drone for a spin.
If you get your drone wet, don’t wipe the water off. Rubbing water will also rub the protective coating off your drone.
Where to get hydrophobic products
Several hydrophobic options are available. Here are the most popular manufacturers:

The French Press Theory: create art and products that sell with this one, simple idea
Awhile back I was browsing through Etsy and I saw this French press and I literally got butterflies in my stomach, a little swirly in my head, and a rush of whatever chemical that is that runs through our bodies and tells us we MUST HAVE THAT THING. It was love at first sight. That’s when I came up with the French Press Theory.
(Just so you know, this article contains affiliate links. Not sure what that means? You can click here and a new tab will open with a full explanation.)
What is the French press theory? It’s simply this: if you make something so incredibly amazing, people will buy it.
I can hear you now: Duh, Jules, of course they will.
Just stick with me here: The magical thing about that French Press and my instant love and need (at least it FELT like a need) for it is this: I don’t even drink coffee! I love the smell of it, and I’ll go with you to a coffee shop anytime you ask. But the truth is, I’m a tea girl!
I simply fell in love with the modern, minimal design of that French press and knew I had to have one.
And before you go assuming I’m just a shopaholic or spend money on things I don’t need, you couldn’t be further from the truth. I actually kind of loathe shopping (much to my daughters’ disappointment!) and I cannot stand wasting money.
But that press…. it’s so… pretty! (Did I mention it comes in other colors? Oh yes…)
But the thing is, it got me thinking: I want to make art and other things that, when people see them, they just have to have them. And ever since then I’ve really tried to keep that in mind before I put anything into my own shops. I want to make art that makes people swoon. I want to create mugs and posters that make people laugh, smile, and/or feel empowered, and say, I HAVE TO HAVE THAT!
I’m sharing this idea with you because I see a lot of artists, makers, photographers, bloggers, etc., with some amazing work, and some not so amazing work right along side it. So, sometimes we have to be curators of our own content. In other words, like William Faulkner said, (I’m paraphrasing) we have to kill our darlings. Do you have items in your shop or posts on your blog that aren’t up to par? Cut them. And make room for something better.
And then go and make that something better. Make your own version of that French Press – something SO good that people are compelled to buy it.
I know that may sound a bit simplistic: just make great stuff! But what I’m really encouraging you to do here is to create things that are better, more beautiful, more desirable than you ever have before. And that simply starts with the desire to do so, each and every time you start on something new.
P.S. Oh my goodness. While writing this post about the French Press Theory, I discovered that Yield Design Co. now makes the presses in glass, too! Isn’t it lovely?
P.S. I was SO happy to find out I can actually make tea with my French Press! So it wasn’t a frivolous purchase, after all!

D32.6 Data synthesis algorithms
The main goal of this deliverable is the description of the procedure of algorithm development for the synthesis of the lateral and rear field around the vehicle. The deliverable describes the so-called perception layer and its algorithms - sensor data fusion and sensor tracking - and it is not a technical description of H/W and S/W, which will be described under deliverable D32.7 (system implementation). The algorithms are based on a LATERAL SAFE sensor configuration and the data structures – input/output of the sensors and systems that cover the rear and the lateral areas of the demonstrator vehicle. Thus, the deliverable describes the mathematical formulation of tracking in sensor level (short range radars, vision systems and long range radars) and the fusion of the track arrays in a central level in order to provide a synthesized perception of the application-requested lateral and rear areas. The deliverable will be the basis for the implementation of the signal and image processing and the data fusion S/W that will be integrated in LATERAL SAFE multi-sensor platform.

Kazuo Hirai: Sony President
Can This Man Save Sony?PlayStation boss Kazuo Hirai will be taking over as president of Sony come April 1st, replacing Howard Stringer, who was the first non-Japanese head of Sony. Our sources are telling us the board knew he wasn’t Japanese when they hired him, so we’re guessing he’s finding the door over Sony’s various failing businesses and grim prospects.
Come April Fools' Day, Hirai will inherit a rather beleaguered Sony that's losing ground on all fronts. Recent quarterly results showed that its sales of digital cameras are down 20%, due mostly to consumers using its phones to take photos. Considering that you're more likely to see a lesbian unicorn than a Sony Ericsson mobile phone in the wild, that doesn't bode well for Sony’s photographic prospects.
The Playstation brand also ain't what it used to be, thanks mostly to the hacking scandal that left many PS3 owners net-gameless for almost a month. But the biggest shock to come out of the hacking affair was finding out that the company had an entertainment service called Qriocity, an abomination of a name if ever there was one. It has since grown a brain and renamed it Sony Entertainment Network. As for its popularity, let’s just say it ain’t no iTunes. Its TV business shows no signs of fending off Samsung, who recently revealed it is selling two TVs a second. Call me foolish, but Sony’s selling off half of its stake in a joint TV venture with Samsung seems like an admission of defeat. But, hey — it’s backing Google TV, so everything’s going to work out just fine. Hopefully Hirai can get Sony back on track. It’s started to look sad in Sonyland.

WHY CLARITIN STANDS OUT AS A TOP CHOICE FOR ALLERGY MANAGEMENT
In today’s fast-paced world, allergies have become a common problem for many individuals. Allergies can be triggered by various factors such as pollen, dust, pet dander, and more. When it comes to managing allergies, it’s important to find a reliable solution that offers effective relief without causing drowsiness or other unwanted side effects. This is where Claritin shines as a top choice for allergy management.
**Effective Allergy Relief**
Claritin, also known as loratadine, is a widely recognized over-the-counter antihistamine that provides effective relief from allergy symptoms. Whether it’s seasonal allergies, indoor allergies, or outdoor allergies, Claritin is formulated to alleviate symptoms such as sneezing, runny nose, itchy/watery eyes, and itching of the nose or throat. Its non-drowsy formula allows individuals to go about their daily activities without feeling sluggish or fatigued.
One of the reasons why Claritin stands out as a top choice for allergy management is its long-lasting relief. Unlike some allergy medications that require frequent dosing throughout the day, Claritin provides 24-hour relief with just one daily dose. This convenience factor makes it a preferred choice for individuals with busy lifestyles who need consistent, reliable allergy relief.
**Safe for Adults and Children**
Another standout feature of Claritin is its suitability for both adults and children. With a variety of formulations available for different age groups, Claritin offers allergy relief for the entire family. From Claritin tablets for adults to Claritin syrup for children, the brand has options to cater to diverse age groups, ensuring that everyone can experience relief from allergy symptoms.
Unlike some antihistamines that can cause drowsiness and interfere with daily activities, Claritin’s non-drowsy formula allows individuals to function at their best while managing their allergies. This is particularly beneficial for individuals who need to stay focused and alert throughout the day, whether it’s for work, school, or other responsibilities.
**Trusted Brand Reputation**
Claritin has built a strong reputation as a trusted brand for allergy management. With a history of delivering effective relief and a commitment to quality, the brand has garnered trust and confidence from both healthcare professionals and consumers alike. This trust factor plays a significant role in why Claritin continues to be a top choice for allergy management.
In conclusion, Claritin stands out as a top choice for allergy management due to its effective relief, long-lasting benefits, suitability for both adults and children, non-drowsy formula, and trusted brand reputation. With its ability to provide 24-hour relief from allergy symptoms without causing drowsiness, Claritin offers a solution that allows individuals to lead an active, allergy-free lifestyle.
**FAQs About Claritin**
1. How fast does Claritin work?
– Claritin typically starts to work within 1-3 hours after taking the recommended dose.
2. Can Claritin be taken with other medications?
– It’s always best to consult with a healthcare professional before combining Claritin with other medications to avoid potential interactions.
3. Are there any side effects associated with Claritin?
– While Claritin is generally well-tolerated, some individuals may experience minor side effects such as headache or dry mouth. If side effects persist or worsen, it’s important to seek medical advice.
4. Can Claritin be used for pet allergies?
– Claritin can be effective for managing pet allergies in some individuals, but it’s advisable to consult with a healthcare professional for personalized recommendations.
5. How long can Claritin be taken for allergy relief?
– Claritin can be taken as needed for allergy relief, but it’s important to follow the recommended dosage instructions and consult with a healthcare professional for prolonged use.

This review is from: Shawshank Redemption [VHS] (VHS Tape)
It's hard to imagine the film that exceeds this one in quality. If I were a member of the Academy, I would have voted this film Best Picture over "Forrest Gump" in 1994. The story is original, engrossing, and ranges from funny to tragic, as it takes us through the trials and tribulations of an innocent man sent to Shawshank Prison. The acting is superb and the film ends magnificently. A must buy for fans of excellent dramas.

When she started investigating the peculiar homicide case at the center of Serial, Sarah Koenig never considered it might one day get her parodied on Saturday Night Live. Sure enough, though, last winter, Koenig went through the surreal experience of watching a bespectacled Cecily Strong portray her on SNL. By that point, though, such elite public tribute did not seem at all out of proportion with the phenomenon her podcast had become.
Ordinarily, a podcast is considered a hit if it gets to 300,000 downloads total. Serial has been downloaded 90 million times, worldwide. Its regular listenership per episode is more than double the audience of a Mad Men season premiere. Despite what a league of evangelical late-adopters might think, Serial did not invent the podcast–but it did manage to eventize it. And now Koenig and co-creator Julie Snyder are gearing up to follow their first irresistible story. the mystery of whether Adnan Syed truly did murder Hae Min Lee, with more stories. As the pair just revealed during their panel at the Cannes Lions festival, where they teamed up with agency McKinney, they might have even more stories than expected.
“We came out here to talk with brands and marketers about the possibility of making relationships to support new shows and new ideas that we have for shows,” Snyder says over the phone before the panel. “We’re not making an announcement exactly–it’s more a matter of just saying we have a lot of ideas and we have a lot of plans.”
Adds Koenig, “We have other ambitions beyond just continuing Serial as a thing with seasons two and three.”
In addition to the previously announced continuation of Serial, the creators are considering launching other podcasts to accommodate more varieties of stories. Although the two immediately shoot down the idea that these potential other programs would be named CSI-style, a la Serial: Kentucky Nights, they’re certain that listeners will be aware the shows are brought to them by the creators of Serial, no matter the title.
“I think it’s hard to say before the shows exist, but we have a certain shared sensibility, and this sounds sort of obnoxious to say but we have very high standards for quality,” Koenig says. “We both recognize what those are without having to talk too much about it. So there will be something recognizable. But part of it I think is to just mess around and experiment and just try shit because it just feels like, why not?”
After the radical success of the first season, Koenig and Snyder were suddenly faced with the freedom of being able to write their own ticket. They proved there is a vast, hungry audience for the kind of stories they gravitate toward, and that the distribution mechanism works. People know who they are now and a lot of doors opened for them because of it. Having all this freedom, however, hasn’t changed their criteria in looking for new stories to tell.
“The main thing that Julie, [producer] Dana [Chivvis], and I all shared was we wanted to care a lot about the story we’re doing and we want to make sure enough was going on to complicate it,” Koenig says. “The challenge for the kind of thing we’re trying to do is to make sure it can sustain over time, where there is enough to talk about, there is enough happening that you’re gonna stay with us if you’re listening, which is something we obviously thought constantly about for season one.”
Another thing the Serial crew discussed a lot following the first season was how to adjust for the impact of internet participation. The sheer abundance of Reddit sleuthing caused Koenig and co. to back away from certain kinds of stories, and also have conversations with sources to warn them that certain information may come out. The lack of control over flow of information may limit the discretion they can offer interviewees, but the creators are still very much excited about other aspects of the deep-dive format.
“Thinking about a story episodically is super fun, just as a challenge as a journalist,” Snyder says. “That was the first time we’d ever done it and now that we’re doing it again, it made me realize I really enjoy it. It is such a cool way to tell a story. You can frame sections of it in very different ways where you feel like you’re getting across sometimes more complicated nuance and emotion and humor than maybe you could have if you were sticking to one straight story.”
Although both Koenig and Snyder remain tight-lipped about what any of their new stories are going to entail, we’ll all find out when the next chapter of the Serial saga unfolds in the fall–and from the sound of it, there will likely be more stories following very close behind.

MADISON RIDGELAND Academy and Jackson Academy will open district play Friday in a matchup that’s as much about bragging rights as it is playoff implications.
MRA comes into the game undefeated, having vanquished its first two foes, outscoring them 97-13.
JA hopes to get back on track after a shaky start. In the first game of the year, the Raiders fell to Pillow Academy in a 26-21 heartbreaking loss.
“We had possession and field position with a chance to move the ball and were doing it, and we didn’t hold onto the ball,” said JA head coach Larry Weems. “We can’t do that in close ball games.”
In its season opener against Pillow, the Raiders had seven turnovers, four of which were recovered by the Mustangs.
Even so, there were some bright spots. The defense held Pillow quarterback phenom Shane Houston Stephens to just 135 passing yards. Last year, the quarterback threw for about 185 yards per game.
Meanwhile, JA starting quarterback Andrew Holmes (5’10”, 146 lbs.) passed for 158 yards and one touchdown and completed eight of 15 passes. Holmes, a junior, replaced starter Jackson Conn after a pre-season injury took him out for the year. Last year, Holmes played as receiver.
“He’s doing all he can to give his teammates a chance to win,” Weems said. “But we have to get a lot better there and in other spots if we’re going to be as effective offensively.”
MRA comes into the game with the wind at their backs. The Patriots had already notched two wins at press time and were going up against Copiah Academy last week.
Leading the charge will be quarterback Philip Short. The senior completed 15 of 19 passes for 248 yards and three touchdowns in the Patriots’ rout of Washington School.
Through the first two games, Short completed 27 of 33 passing attempts for 463 yards and seven touchdowns.
“He hasn’t played the second half yet,” head coach Herbert Davis said prior to MRA’s August 30 game.
The Patriot offense has a number of other weapons, including a deep receiving corps. “Landon Fulcher, Russ Sceroler, Tyler Starnes, Rayf Vinson, Joe Perkins – we play about seven or eight a game,” Davis said. “It’s all about who performs the best during practice.”
While the offense has been lighting up front, Davis said the Patriot defense has blown several assignments, something that could hurt them in division play.
Penalties also have plagued the MRA squad. In the first two games, the Patriots have been penalized 25 times for 185 yards.
“If we can clean those up (mistakes), I think we could see some special things for us,” he said. “We have to get better fundamentally. We have to get better every day at practice.”
In his sixth year, Davis said it’s not necessarily about starting strong, but finishing strong. Last year, the Patriots finished 12-0 and won the division, before losing in the championship to Jackson Preparatory School. The Patriots beat prep 42-21 in the regular season but lost 33-27 in the season finale rematch.
“I believe our program is where we want it to be, we just need to go prove it,” Davis said. “We have to prove it and win that big one.” MRA has won four of the last five matchups against the Raiders. JA’s last win against the Patriots came in 2017, when the Raiders defeated them 30-7.
Both teams will likely be playing with a chip on their shoulders. “It’s not only a district game, it’s JA,” Davis said. “They’re our rival and everybody always gets a little fired up about that.”
Madison-Ridgeland Academy will face off against Jackson Academy on Friday, September 6, at MRA. The game begins at 7 p.m.

MRA Keys to Victory
- Cut out the penalties: In the first two games, MRA had 25 penalties, resulting in the loss of 185 yards.
- Stay focused: District play is just beginning. Despite easy wins early on, the Patriots can’t look past any opponent.
- Limit mistakes/penalties: If history repeats itself, this will be a one-possession game. Too many penalties or turnovers could be the deciding factor.
JA Keys to Victory
- Limit turnovers: Seven turnovers in the season opener against Pillow likely cost JA an early season win.
- Slow the pace of the game: The Raiders’ defense must slow down MRA’s up-tempo offense. At the same time, the Raiders must keep its offense on the field as long as possible, to give its young defense rest.
