Elomatic is a part of the 2020 Global Goals Yearbook, a publication in support of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), also known as Global Goals that also supports the advancement of corporate sustainability globally. The article included in the Yearbook showcases Elomatic’s project with NYK and Monohakobi Technology which led into the NYK Super Eco Ship – A concept that allows up to 70% less energy consumption in the sea travel. The concept has gotten attention around the world.
The showcase vessel for the study was a Pure Car and Truck Carrier (PCTC), which is known as the NYK Super Eco Ship 2050. The goal was to achieve an inspiring concept that will create further discussions. Compared to current designs, energy savings of 70 percent were achieved. An emissions-free operation was reached using primary fuel produced with renewable energy. The concept is introduced in this video: NYK Super Eco Ship 2050.
NYK attaining CO2 -neutral shipping by 2050
The International Maritime Organization (IMO) goals stated that greenhouse gases from shipping must be reduced by at least 50 percent from the 2008 levels. Prior to this, the Japanise shipping company NYK and its Technology Institute Monohakobi Technology had already created a roadmap with Elomatic to develop towards a more environmentally friendly operation. NYK launched its challenge for attaining CO2 -neutral shipping by 2050.

WASHINGTON—U.S. Senator Bill Cassidy, M.D. (R-LA) today released a statement following FEMA publicly acknowledging an internal study finding that the implementation of Risk Rating 2.0 to the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) could cause 20% of policyholders to drop out of the program due to skyrocketing premiums. This was in response to a bipartisan, Cassidy led letter to FEMA in September, demanding a delay in Risk Rating 2.0, which will harm homeowners.
Despite repeated requests beginning in October 2021, FEMA has refused to provide a Congressional briefing on this study or share the results with the public.
“As far as we know, FEMA has conducted only one study on its new insurance pricing approach, and the results are terrible,” said Dr. Cassidy. “It took five months for FEMA to acknowledge their own report that as high as 20 percent of policy holders will be forced to leave the NFIP because they cannot afford coverage. We don’t need spin or more makeup on this pig. Risk Rating 2.0 is gearing up to slam homeowners over the next decade. FEMA needs to act.”

Twin Saga – Great anime MMORPG manga style!
Anime MMORPG – A brand new title by Aeria Games hit the market! The free anime MMORPG ‘Twin Saga’ will take you to a colorful world manga style, full of cool features and crisp challenges. Read on to discover the highlights!
Official Trailer Twin Saga
The game concept of Twin Saga
The free anime MMORPG ‘Twin Saga’ has been developed by the Taiwanese studio X-Legend. As it’s become the norm for titles forged in Asia, Twin Saga keeps true to the colorful anime style, and it will most probably conquer the hearts of all fans of the genre! In order to become part of Twin Saga you first have to create a free account and download the really slim game client. Once you’ve done that you can go on to creating your character! Here you’ll have the choice between four character classes, but as you advance in the game six more classes will be unlocked! Once you’ve decided on one of the four basic classes and adjusted your avatar to your liking you start on your journey! You take the ship to a small island, and you learn the controls on your first quests. The mayor’s daughter’s name is Fina, and she’ll be your first guide in this game. You’ll take her with you in your tow in order to explore your surroundings, and you’ll have to protect her from wolves and other beasts. A classical start in a MMORPG!
We noticed a special feature of Twin Saga from the first minutes we spent in the game – you can change your character class anytime! In most MMORPGs you unfortunately have to start all over and create a new character in order to do that. But in Twin Saga all you need is a click of your mouse on the character class in order to get a view of all available classes, and decide which one you feel like playing with! Still, you need to keep in mind that you need to level up each class separately. So this system offers a lot to do in itself, and unlocking new classes has quite a few surprises in store for you!
Sophisticated combat system:
Each of the ten character classes from Twin Saga is special through individual fighting techniques and particularities. For example, the archer loves destroying enemies from a distance with deadly volleys, whereas as dragon warrior you’ll rely on your mighty dragon friends whom you’ll call to the battlefield, to your enemies’ horror. Of course, wounds must be tended to as well on the battlefield, so priests and occultists are very important! What we found super cool were each class’ ‘ultima skills,’ which cause your opponent huge damage or protect you and your group with strong effects! Not to mention that these ultima skills also look spectacular.
A house with legs:
A house with legs? What’s that supposed to mean? Well, exactly what you think! The housing system is really something. You won’t set up your home just somewhere in the world, but on the back of gigantic monstrosities! We really didn’t see this one coming, and our jaw dropped when we first saw these houses. Just imagine having your house with you on all of your journeys. Pretty cool, huh?
A professions system is a must-have for a MMORPG besides all the adventure and quests. If you don’t feel like fighting now and then, you can just grab your ladle and start cooking the vegetables that you grew yourself! But you can do so much more through your profession than just ensure your physical wellbeing. Whether you manufacture your own products, brew drinks or make decoration items, professions play an important part in Twin Saga! The workbench has its own fun in store for you.
Features of Twin Saga
- Free-to-play: Just create an account, download the game client of Twin Saga, and you can already enter the colorful anime world!
- Switching classes: Not a good day for wand and robe? Switch to another character class anytime, and learn every facet of the game!
- Sophisticated combat system: Teach your enemies to fear and respect you in different ways, and sweep them from the screen with your ultima skills!
- A house with legs: In Twin Saga you can set up your home. And the best part is: this home is on the back of a huge monster, and it can therefore move around!
- Honest work: Try out different professions from cooking to carpenter and smith work. You can choose from all crafts!
Conclusions about Twin Saga
Twin Saga is a real treat for all fans of the anime and manga style. This free MMORPG by X-Legend isn’t in the open beta phase yet, but its already sleek and cohesive gameplay won us over from the first minute. The unusual mobile housing system is something we never saw before in this form! Another particularity is the fluent class system. We call it ‘fluent’ because you can switch classes at any point in the game, and you don’t have to create a new character if you want to play a different class. Really something! We recommend that you create an account and try out Twin Saga!

I am on the cusp of finishing my mystery gnome.There are just two more clues. I guess we are going to add her features, arms and accessories. This has been so much fun.
We're also on the cusp of starting Stephen West's Shawlography MKAL. While I wait I'm knitting a pair of socks for Leon. I'm using my oldest sock yarn, which is woollen spun and 50 percent mohair. I wanted to do a nice cabled project, but it just wasn't showing up, so instead I'm doing Reverso from Knitty, which is basically a broken rib, and it knitting up very quickly.
I'm still reading Empire of Vampires - it's a big book, but has also been quite a quick read, because, while dark, it has a fast moving interesting plot. Highly recommend.
I'm not listening to an audio-book right now, although I am chewing through pod-casts. I started David Mitchel's The One Thousand Autumns of Joseph De Zoot and I just could not get in to it. Endless tedious descriptions. Maybe it's not a good lockdown book.

On Thursday, a video contest meant to spark a discussion about teen pregnancy in Oceanside, California, awarded its top prize to two high school students.
The winners, Nate Strong and Bobby Taylor, were among 15 other high school and middle school students who submitted projects. Their winning submission, called "Change," is an 83-second short film depicting a relationship between two teenagers, ending when the girl becomes pregnant. The video then implores viewers, "Protect yourself, and your future; it’s the only one you have." It’s simple and effective.
The contest was sponsored by the Oceanside Boys & Girls Club, which awarded $5,000 as the top prize. The winners were chosen by a panel of students, parents, and school officials.
According to the young filmmakers, the video’s message "resonates with teens because it was made by teens."

But more than that, there’s something to be said about the effectiveness of locally created content; it’s more specific and personal, among other benefits. Instead of producing a high-budget advertisement to show nationally, with actors hired and scripts written to relate to a very general demographic, it makes more sense that organizations instead focus on local model, like this video contest.
The actors and filmmakers are members of their community. The narration has a local accent. The message isn’t manipulated or watered down to relate to a wide group of people, but stands on its own. Because of this, it’s more believable. This contest offers an excellent model for creating a local discussion and movement around an important national issue.
Republicans came together in Cleveland this week to nominate Donald Trump at the Republican National Convention (RNC), generating days of cringe-inducing falsehoods and misleading statements on crime, the nominee’s positions on gender equality, and LGBTQ people.
Trump’s Acceptance Speech Blasted for Making False Claims on Crime
Trump accepted the Republican nomination in a Thursday night speech at the RNC that drew harsh criticism for many of its misleading and outright false talking points.
Among the most hotly contested of Trump’s claims was the assertion that crime has exploded across the country.
“Decades of progress made in bringing down crime are now being reversed by this administration’s rollback of criminal enforcement,” Trump claimed, according to his prepared remarks, which were leaked ahead of his address. “Homicides last year increased by 17 percent in America’s 50 largest cities. That’s the largest increase in 25 years. In our nation’s capital, killings have risen by 50 percent. They are up nearly 60 percent in nearby Baltimore.”
Crime rates overall have been steadily declining for years.
“In 2015, there was an uptick in homicides in 36 of the 50 largest cities compared to the previous years. The rate did, indeed, increase nearly 17 percent, and it was the worst annual change since 1990. The homicide rate was up 54.3 percent in Washington, and 58.5 percent in Baltimore,” explained Washington Post fact checkers Glenn Kessler and Michelle Ye Hee Lee. “But in the first months of 2016, homicide trends were about evenly split in the major cities. Out of 63 agencies reporting to the Major Cities Chiefs Association, 32 cities saw a decrease in homicides in first quarter 2016 and 31 saw an increase.”
Ames Grawert, a counsel in the Brennan Center’s Justice Program, said in a statement posted to the organization’s website that 2016 statistics aren’t sufficient in declaring crime rate trends.
“Overall, crime rates remain at historic lows. Fear-inducing soundbites are counterproductive, and distract from nuanced, data-driven, and solution-oriented conversations on how to build a smarter criminal justice system in America,” Grawert said. “It’s true that some cities saw an increase in murder rates last year, and that can’t be ignored, but it’s too early to say if that’s part of a national trend.”
When Paul Manafort, Trump’s campaign chairman, was confronted with the common Republican falsehoods on crime during a Thursday interview with CNN’s Jake Tapper, he claimed that the FBI’s statistics were not to be trusted given that the organization recently advised against charges in connection with Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server during her tenure as secretary of state.
“According to FBI statistics, crime rates have been going down for decades,” Tapper told Manafort. “How can Republicans make the argument that it’s somehow more dangerous today when the facts don’t back that up?”
“People don’t feel safe in their neighborhoods,” said Manafort, going on to claim that “the FBI is certainly suspect these days after what they did with Hillary Clinton.”
There was at least one notable figure who wholeheartedly embraced Trump’s fearmongering: former KKK Grand Wizard David Duke. “Great Trump Speech,” tweeted Duke on Thursday evening. “Couldn’t have said it better!”
Ben Carson Claims Transgender People Are Proof of “How Absurd We Have Become”
Former Republican presidential candidate Ben Carson criticized the existence of transgender people while speaking at the Florida delegation breakfast on Tuesday in Cleveland.
“You know, we look at this whole transgender thing, I’ve got to tell you: For thousands of years, mankind has known what a man is and what a woman is. And now, all of a sudden we don’t know anymore,” said Carson, a retired neurosurgeon. “Now, is that the height of absurdity? Because today you feel like a woman, even though everything about you genetically says that you’re a man or vice versa?”
“Wouldn’t that be the same as if you woke up tomorrow morning after seeing a movie about Afghanistan or reading some books and said, ‘You know what? I’m Afghanistan. Look, I know I don’t look that way. My ancestors came from Sweden, or something, I don’t know. But I really am. And if you say I’m not, you’re a racist,’” Carson said. “This is how absurd we have become.”
When confronted with his comments during an interview with Yahoo News’ Katie Couric, Carson doubled down on his claims.“There are biological markers that tell us whether we are a male or a female,” said Carson. “And just because you wake up one day and you say, ‘I think I’m the other one,’ that doesn’t change it. Just, a leopard can’t change its spots.”
“It’s not as if they woke up one day and decided, ‘I’m going to be a male or I’m going to be a female,’” Couric countered, pointing out that transgender people do not suddenly choose to change their gender identities on a whim.
Carson made several similar comments last year while on the campaign trail.
In December, Carson criticized the suggested that allowing transgender people into the military amounted to using the armed services “as a laboratory for social experimentation.”
Carson once suggested that allowing transgender people to use the restroom that aligned with their gender identity amounted to granting them “extra rights.”
Ivanka Trump Claims Her Father Supports Equal Pay, Access to Child Care
Ivanka Trump, the nominee’s daughter, made a pitch during her speech Thursday night at the RNC for why women voters should support her father.
“There have always been men of all background and ethnicities on my father’s job sites. And long before it was commonplace, you also saw women,” Ivanka Trump said. “At my father’s company, there are more female than male executives. Women are paid equally for the work that we do and when a woman becomes a mother, she is supported, not shut out.”
“As president, my father will change the labor laws that were put into place at a time when women were not a significant portion of the workforce. And he will focus on making quality child care affordable and accessible for all,” she continued before pivoting to address the gender wage gap.
“Policies that allow women with children to thrive should not be novelties; they should be the norm. Politicians talk about wage equality, but my father has made it a practice at his company throughout his entire career.”
However, Trump’s stated positions on the gender wage gap, pregnancy and mothers in the workplace, and child care don’t quite add up to the picture the Trumps tried to paint at the RNC.
In 2004, Trump called pregnancy an “inconvenience” for employers. When a lawyer asked for a break during a deposition in 2011 to pump breast milk, Trump reportedly called her “disgusting.”
According to a June analysis conducted by the Boston Globe, the Trump campaign found that men who worked on Trump’s campaign “made nearly $6,100, or about 35 percent more [than women during the April payroll]. The disparity is slightly greater than the gender pay gap nationally.”
When Trump was questioned about equal pay during a campaign stop last October, he did not outline his support for policies to address the issue. Instead, Trump suggested that, “You’re gonna make the same if you do as good a job.” Though he had previously stated that men and women who do the same job should be paid the same during an August 2015 interview on MSNBC, he also cautioned that determining whether people were doing the same jobs was “tricky.”
Ivanka’s claims were not the only attempt that night by Trump’s inner circle to explain why women voters should turn to the Republican ticket. During an interview with MSNBC’s Chris Matthews, Manafort said that women would vote for the Republican nominee because they “can’t afford their lives anymore.”
“Many women in this country feel they can’t afford their lives, their husbands can’t afford to be paying for the family bills,” claimed Manafort. “Hillary Clinton is guilty of being part of the establishment that created that problem. They’re going to hear the message. And as they hear the message, that’s how we are going to appeal to them.”
What Else We’re Reading
Vox’s Dara Lind explained how “Trump’s RNC speech turned his white supporters’ fear into a weapon.”
Now that Mike Pence is the Republican nominee for vice president, Indiana Republicans have faced “an intense, chaotic, awkward week of brazen lobbying at the breakfast buffet, in the hallways and on the elevators” at the convention as they grapple with who will run to replace the state’s governor, according to the New York Times.
“This is a party and a power structure that feels threatened with extinction, willing to do anything for survival,” wrote Rebecca Traister on Trump and the RNC for New York Magazine. “They may not love Trump, but he is leading them precisely because he embodies their grotesque dreams of the restoration of white, patriarchal power.”
Though Trump spent much of the primary season denouncing big money in politics, while at the RNC, he courted billionaires in hopes of having them donate to supporting super PACs.
Michael Kranish reported for the Washington Post that of the 2,472 delegates at the RNC, it is estimated that only 18 were Black.
Missouri legislators protect and fund crisis pregnancy centers, while ignoring how their constituents are affected by violence and health-care disparities. A new campaign is taking to the streets to refocus their attention.
When I found out in 2015 that anti-choice politicians in Missouri had formed the Senate Interim Committee on the Sanctity of Life, I was outraged that they planned to use valuable time and money to bully Planned Parenthood with yet another baseless investigation.
My second thought was that I wished someone would form a committee to investigate the real issues that threaten the lives of Missourians every day.
Erin Matson and I co-founded Reproaction because we believe in the power of direct action; that the current state of abortion access is a manmade humanitarian crisis; and that people must have the right to decide whether to parent and to live in communities free of violence and oppression.
Those core values inspired us to launch the Show-Me Accountability Campaign in Missouri on June 29. Through the campaign we are leading direct actions to hold members of the Senate Interim Committee on the Sanctity of Life accountable, and demanding Missouri politicians work on the real challenges our communities and neighbors face, such as gun violence and Black infant mortality.

Missourians deserve access to health care and safe communities, but that’s not the focus of anti-choice legislators. Instead, our lawmakers choose to persecute abortion providers and dish out tax credits to sham crisis pregnancy centers (CPCs).
Missourians have had enough. That’s what brought local progressive activists together, led by Reproaction Missouri organizer Zoe Krause, to launch Show-Me Accountability. We gathered on the sidewalk in front of Thrive, one of at least 65 CPCs anti-choice lawmakers champion despite the fact that the centers have a history of lying to patients seeking reproductive health care. Missouri lawmakers have even pushed legislation to guarantee CPCs aren’t subject to regulation or oversight. We chose Thrive as the location of our launch to illustrate the contrast between what Missouri politicians fund, prioritize, and protect, versus what Missourians actually need them to focus on.
Someone turned the sprinklers on at Thrive just as activists started showing up, providing a nonstop shower that drenched people walking or standing on much of the sidewalk in front of the building. It was an old-school disruption move that made it clear they knew we were coming and weren’t happy about it. We shifted down the sidewalk and started to get in formation.
Several interns from Thrive came outside and tried to physically disrupt our work by repeatedly moving between activists and attempting to surround us. But when we engaged them in conversation, they didn’t appear to know much about the services Thrive provides or that CPCs get tax credits in Missouri. As our speakers began their remarks, Thrive counselors in bright orange vests held signs and guarded the walkway up to the building. I’m familiar with the vests and signs because they are usually seen stationed in front of Missouri’s only abortion provider a few blocks away.
The speakers were amazing, their topics a damning indictment of the issues that wither on the vine in Jefferson City while politicians compete for the attention of anti-abortion lobbyists. Kirstin Palovick, organizer for the grassroots LGBT equality organization PROMO, explained why it hurts our state that lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people in Missouri can be fired from their jobs, evicted from their homes, and denied access to public accommodations and services. Cicely Paine, fellowship manager at CoreAlign and board chair for Community Birth and Wellness, shared her experience as a sex educator in Missouri, where access to comprehensive sex education is not a right enjoyed by all. Mustafa Abdullah, lead organizer for the American Civil Liberties Union of Missouri, passionately detailed the real-world consequences of racial disparities in policing and why police violence is a reproductive justice issue.
I was the final speaker and used my time to talk about why the Black infant mortality rate is a public health crisis worthy of attention and urgency. We ended with chants and a few dances through the shower provided by Thrive’s sprinkler system.
The timing for our campaign launch couldn’t have been better. Shortly after the action at Thrive, the chair of the Senate Interim Committee on the Sanctity of Life announced that there would be a press conference in Jefferson City to discuss a report detailing the results of their “work.” So, Zoe and I took a road trip to the Missouri capitol to witness firsthand what the committee had to say and ask some questions.
At around 1 p.m., several anti-choice members of the committee, including chair Sen. Kurt Schaefer (R-Columbia), gathered in the fourth floor mezzanine in the capitol. Neither Sen. Jill Schupp (D-Creve Coeur) nor Sen. Maria Chappelle Nadal (D-St. Louis), the only pro-choice members of the committee, were in attendance. Neither contributed to the report.
As expected, the yearlong investigation found no evidence that tissue has been illegally sold. Sen. Schaefer acknowledged that the report was not an official report of the committee. Instead, the senators used the press conference to fuss about the U.S. Supreme Court’s recent Whole Woman’s Health v. Hellerstedt decision and voice their frustration over not having uncovered much of anything.
“What is clear is there are many things that are unclear,” Sen. Eric Schmitt (R-Glendale) said during the press conference.
On that one point, I agree.
It remains unclear how much this investigation cost Missourians. We deserve a proper accounting for just how much we invested in this farce. But when Reproaction’s Zoe Krause asked that question during the press conference, the senators refused to answer.
What is clear is that the committee’s press conference was partisan because the committee formed as a platform for anti-choice propaganda. It is clear that the anti-abortion videos used as the excuse for forming the committee have been thoroughly debunked.
Sadly, it is more than clear that some members of the committee think they can get away with wasting the people’s time trying to score political points with anti-choice groups.
We drove away from the capitol more committed than ever to the Show-Me Accountability Campaign. Missourians deserve legislators who will prioritize real-world issues, and we will demand accountability from those who fail to do so. Media coverage of our launch has already sparked long-overdue discussions about the damaging consequences of our state legislature’s misplaced priorities.
That’s the kind of fertile soil accountability can grow in, and we intend to see it grow in Missouri. We are in this for dignity, justice, and liberation. And we’re just getting started.

Having recently moved to small Ontarian town, I have spent a lot of time sat with the cats at the window, with a notebook. It is a wonderful way to develop ideas, the only downside is that I spend a lot of time staring out of the window at nothing much whatsoever. The cats quickly notify me when birds are in the garden, and oh-my, such pretty birdies: cardinals, woodpeckers, and other little wonders. It really is the little things that keep me going.
Having collected pine cones at Christmas for decor, I wasn’t sure what to do with them after Christmas. Here is what to do with the left over pinecones:
Pinecones – lots of them.
Tie string/ribbon around them (in retrospect, string would have been better than leftover Christmas ribbons – squirrels enjoyed chewing through the ribbon just a bit too much).
Find something to poor the bird seed in, because this bit could get
Move on to the messy part, and smear a good portion of peanut butter on the pinecones, really get the peanut butter in the grooves, gaps and edges.
Roll it in the bird seed, sprinkle the bird seed, press it in there, get as much bird seed in there as possible.
Take them outside and hang them up. We attached the ribbon to paperclips to make it easier to tie them to branches, it meant we weren’t getting peanut butter all over our faces, hair and coats by attempting to tie knots.
I am sure that birds like them, but, erm…the squirrels got to them first. Still, a good effort to feed the wild creatures of our back yard!

The Michelin Guide 2024 has announced that six Irish restaurants have been awarded a Bib Gourmand, five of which are newly awarded. Three have been awarded across Dublin, demonstrating the city’s already appealing dining scene. This year’s selections are pleasingly varied, with culinary influences ranging from Spanish to Indian, although there is a key theme of small plates menus running throughout. With 20 restaurants added overall across Great Britain and Ireland, pub dining has been a common theme that has appeared across the board, with 5 pubs among this year’s new Bib Gourmands.
Starting off in Cork, Ichigo Ichie Bistro & Natural Wine offers well-prepared Japanese dishes. A new incarnation of Cork’s Ichigo Ichie, which previously held a Michelin Star and has relaunched as a more relaxed, accessibly priced restaurant, has entered the guide. As it comes with a bustle of contented diners, the menu includes rice bowls, cold and hot handmade buckwheat noodles, with daily changing specials.
Heading West, Solas, based in the charming town of Dingle, has been added to the guide. With organic Irish produce at the core of their restaurant, Solas serve Tapas style small plates, where Spanish flavours shine through their unique offerings.
The theme of small plates and Tapas is evident in this year’s Michelin Guide, demonstrated further by the Dublin additions. Spanish delights can be savoured in La Gordita, the sister restaurant of Anna Cabrera and Vanessa Murphy’s Las Tapas de Lola. Serving authentic, Spanish bodega-style food with matching wines, La Gordita is a lively spot in the Irish capital and has been in the works for quite some time, becoming a much-loved Dublin spot less than a year after opening.
Within walking distance from La Gordita is Amy Austin, serving small plates with dishes taking cues from all over the world. A casual-dining restaurant and wine bar, diners enjoy free-flowing wine on tap as they delight in Amy Austin’s offerings, ranging from open octopus tacos to sweetbread yakitori.
Heading further South of the city to Rathmines, Lottie’s, headed by Domini Kemp and Tudorel Ostache, is a buzzing neighbourhood brasserie, making its way into the Michelin Guide 2024. Visitors can enjoy views of the open kitchen as they dine on unfussy dishes packed with flavour and enjoy a few drinks upstairs from their extensive cocktail menu.
In Northern Ireland, Home in Belfast has regained its Bib Gourmand thanks to a new chef and some terrific produce. What started as a three month pop-up turned into a popular Belfast restaurant, still standing strong 13 years later. The extensive menus include a host of fresh, seasonal dishes using artisan Irish produce, accompanied by friendly service and a welcoming feel.
Gwendal Poullennec, International Director of The MICHELIN Guide, commented: “It is a joy to see 20 restaurants newly awarded the Bib Gourmand in the 2024 edition of The MICHELIN Guide Great Britain & Ireland. These are establishments that deserve recognition for their continued commitment to offering affordable, delicious cooking. The generosity and value for money they offer is wonderful to see during these challenging economic times for the restaurant industry.”
The full online listings for the 2024 Bib Gourmand awarded restaurants will be updated in the evening of 5th February, following the Great Britain & Ireland 2024 MICHELIN Guide Ceremony in Manchester, when all of the new MICHELIN Stars, Green Stars and Special Awards will be announced.


Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE, Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, announced on Saturday the transfer of Mars Hope Probe from Dubai to Tanegashima island in Japan.
The Ruler of Dubai gave us insight into the process in his multiple tweets. He said, the launch would be the first Arab-Islamic probe to Mars. The probe was developed at half the cost and took six years (as opposed to 10 years, which is the usual global period).
He also informed us that the successful transfer took place under a team of Emirati engineers. The whole process took 83 hours of nonstop work.
Sheikh Rashid acclaimed the engineers who worked through the pandemic and the various global travel restrictions put in place because of it.

RABBI NASSAN NATA RABINOWITZ OF MUNICH, INTERESTING CORRESPONDENCE WITH RABBI ELYAHU MENACHEM GOITEIN OF HÖGYESZ, REGARDING PUBLICATION OF VARIANT READINGS OF TALMUD TEXT.
Letter from Rabbi Nassan Nata Rabinowitz of Munich to Rabbi Elyahu Menachem Goitein of Högyesz, with his reply. Rabbi Rabinowitz, famous for his research of old Talmud manuscripts and prints, asks Rabbi Goitein if he has a copy of the first edition of Kesef Nivchar (written by Rabbi Goitein’s grandfather) printed in Prague, and also asks whether he can help him acquire early Talmud editions printed in Venice, Lublin, Krakow and Basel, in exchange for his published works.
Rabbi Goitein, in his reply on the other side of the page, informs his correspondent that he does not have even one copy of the Prague edition of Kesef Nivchar, but he does have a Talmud tractate printed in Krakow in 1605.
Rabbi Nassan Nata Rabinowitz (1835-1889), studied under Rabbi Yosef Padwa of Vilkomir, settled in Keidan - where he became known as the iluy of Keidan, and studied at the Torah centres in Eishishok and Vilna. While visiting Vienna he heard of the ancient Munich Talmud manuscript and travelled to Munich to see it. He settled there and studied the Talmud manuscript and published a multi-volume work Dikdukei Sofrim, recording textual variants of the Talmud.
Rabbi Eliyahu Menachem Goitein (1838-1902), son of Rabbi Zvi Hirsh - Rabbi of Högyesz and son-in-law of Rabbi Yerachmiel Dov Berish Banet Moreh Tzedek of Lipto-szt-Miklos. Disciple of the Ksav Sofer, Rabbi Yochanan Spitz – Rabbi of Tab and of Rabbi Avraham Paper – Dayan of Tab. Succeeded his father as Rabbi of Högyesz in 1860.

Disney is a company famous for creating captivating animated stories and their output from the 2010s featured a large range of tales from a detective story set in a thriving metropolitan city inhabited by anthropomorphic animals to an adventure starring video game characters inside the world of the internet itself.
Updated on September 6th, 2021 by Mark Birrell: The 2010s also saw some of the biggest box office hits to date from Disney’s equally-revered partner in animated entertainment, Pixar, who ramped up their output of sequels as well as delivering a few new iconic original stories as well.
This isn’t to mention the number of hits that Disney’s predominantly direct-to-video studio, Disneytoons, enjoyed before their final bow with Tinker Bell and the Legend of the NeverBeast in 2014, which ranks amongst the best Disney movies ever on IMDb, though with only a relative fraction of the votes seen on Disney’s bigger theatrical releases.
15 Brave (2012) – 7.1
Pixar released 11 movies with Disney during the 2010s and, of these, 7 were sequels to other successful Pixar movies from the previous decade (including a prequel), and 4 were original stories. The first original film released was a change of pace for the studio, focussing on human characters in medieval Scotland.
Though a much more grounded drama for Pixar, Brave is not without its magical elements, and the trademark level of heart from the studio was certainly seen by fans in the movie’s central relationship dynamic between a mother and her spirited daughter who’s looking for more than tradition offers her.
14 Winnie The Pooh (2011) – 7.2
Winnie the Pooh received a new musical comedy in 2011, making it the first theatrically released Pooh movie to be released since 1977’s The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh. Thankfully, the characters hadn’t lost their appeal.
The film featured a series of intertwining tales. One story had the animals attempting to create a new tail for Eeyore who has lost his own while another has Owl wrongly believing that Christopher Robin has been kidnapped. The cuteness is too much to handle and fans have ranked it higher than a number of much more modern animated titles from the decade, both from Disney Animation and Pixar.
13 Monster University (2013) – 7.2
A prequel to Pixar’s 2001 hit Monsters Inc., Monsters University follows the original movie’s two main characters during their college days as they get up to the usual hijinks of rebellion, self-discovery, pranks, and partying. Disney/Pixar fans had a great time too, though they have yet to rank it as highly as the first film.
While it hardly even alludes to the real raunchiness that college movies are known for, the movie was one of the most mature releases from Pixar in that decade, proving to be a big hit with a fanbase now made up of both young kids and adults as well as young adults who had grown up with the original.
12 Finding Dory (2016) – 7.3
A followup to Pixar’s aquatic favorite, Finding Nemo, this movie was the second in Pixar’s run of billion-dollar hit sequels released in the 2010s, the first being Toy Story 3 and the last being Toy Story 4.
Like with the other Pixar sequels of the decade, the vast majority of the original voice cast returned, as did the original movie’s director, whilst changing up the setting up to an aquarium for a prison break adventure in the same vein as Toy Story 3. As the film’s impressive box office haul demonstrated, it found similar success with audiences too.
11 Frozen (2013) – 7.4
A breakout billion-dollar success for Disney Animation, Frozen became world-famous for its songs, spawning a relatively rare theatrically-released sequel to the Princess movie that was released in 2019 to similar financial success.
The story, of two once-close siblings who grew apart in the wake of their parents’ deaths, reimagined Hans Christian Andersen’s classic fairytale The Snow Queen and garnered huge praise for its themes of sisterhood and classically light-hearted humor, not least from the lovable snowman, Olaf.
10 Incredibles 2 (2018) – 7.6
Pixar’s superhero hit, The Incredibles, received its long-awaited sequel in 2018. This time around, Mrs. Incredible is requested to resume hero work while Mr. Incredible has to take care of the kids at home. As it turns out, tracking down the villainous Screenslaver proves to be a challenge for Elastigirl and Mr. Incredible finds that dealing with a love-struck teenage girl, a homework-loaded middle schooler, and an uncontrollable baby is a heroic task of its own.
The gap between the Incredibles films was even longer than the wait between Pixar’s Monsters movies, but fans similarly found that time hadn’t dulled the power of the superfamily and that writer and director Brad Bird still had plenty to say in the now gargantuan superhero genre.
9 Moana (2016) – 7.6
Another addition to Disney Animation’s long-running tradition of Princess movies, Moana follows the titular future chief of the island of Motunui as she travels across the ocean to find a legendary demigod trickster and right an ancient wrong to save her home.
Full of catchy songs, with some music and lyrics written by Hamilton star Lin-Manuel Miranda, the movie balances action and adventure setpieces with comedy and cultural folklore expertly, whilst eschewing the standard romance plotting to refreshing effect.
8 Tangled (2010) – 7.7
Disney reimagined the classic story of Rapunzel as a musical adventure film that tells of a girl who dreams of seeing the floating lanterns that are let off in the distance on her birthday every year. She hopes to see them on her eighteenth birthday, and so after a handsome thief stumbles into her tower, she enlists him to take her to see them. This leads the pair on a wild journey full of danger and romance in the style that Disney fans know and love so well.
Though not as big a box office hit, Tangled has shone as an even bigger success with animated movie fans than the next big Disney fairytale reimagining, Frozen, thanks to its wackier humor and its underrated villain.
7 Wreck-It Ralph (2012) – 7.7
Disney Animation took a few pages out of Pixar’s book with this animated comedy about characters who live inside the video games located at the Liwak’s Family Fun Center & Arcade.
When Wreck-It-Ralph, the antagonist of the “Fix-It-Felix Jr.” game, grows tired of being villanized and decides to set out on a journey to find his own medal. As it turns out, hopping through other games is not so simple and has Ralph ending up in a racing game called Sugar Rush. Here, he agrees to help a young girl named Vanellope win her game if, in exchange, she gives him her medal. The bond between the two stole many fans’ hearts and created a solid foundation for a well-received sequel in 2019, Ralph Breaks the Internet.
6 Toy Story 4 (2019) – 7.7
The latest installment in the Toy Story series debuted in summer 2019 and sees the franchise’s new Andy, Bonnie, making a new toy named Forky. The problem? While Bonnie treasures him than all of her other playthings, Forky believes he is destined for the trash.
While trying to help Forky realize his new place in the world, Woody stumbles into his old friend, Bo Peep. It’s not long before everybody’s favorite cowboy also starts to question where he belongs and the emotional ending delivered quite a few surprises for longtime fans of the series that had perhaps presumed that it had no more left to give.
5 Big Hero 6 (2014) – 7.8
This 2014 superhero film, loosely based on the Marvel superhero team of the same name, tells of a 14-year-old technology genius named Hiro who lives in the futuristic city of San Fransokyo. While it seems that he will get into the university of his dreams for creating intuitive microbots, his world comes crashing down after his brother, Tadashi, dies in a fire. The future may seem bleak, but there’s one thing that’s going to help Hiro through it: Baymax, the healthcare robot that Tadashi created.
After Hiro realizes the fire Tadashi died in might not have been an accident, he and his new friend set out to uncover the truth and take down the villain. So the movie may play out a little conventionally for some, but many fans just can’t resist the cuteness of Baymax and the more heartrending turns in the story.
4 Zootopia (2016) – 8.0
Judy Hopps becomes the first rabbit to become an officer in the bustling animal city of Zootopia, and it’s not long before she embarks on an intense case. While her unlikely partner creates his fair share of issues, he also might be the very thing she needs to uncover a few secrets.
The endless pop culture references, social themes, and hilarious gags had this movie making a big impact on release, with a Disney+ show being greenlit to expand the rich world that Zootopia introduces.
3 Inside Out (2015) – 8.1
This 2015 comedy told the story of a young girl named Riley who moves from a small town in Minnesota to the bustling city of San Francisco. Rather than focusing on the external happenings of this, however, Pixar decided to center in on the five representations of the emotions that run Riley’s mind: Joy, Sadness, Fear, Disgust, and Anger.
These emotions, more specifically Sadness and Joy, end up embarking on Pixar’s trademark odd-couple adventure to help Riley cope with her new life after things get a little mixed up inside. The very literal focus on emotionality helped Inside Out to become one of Pixar’s all-time tearjerkers, the most bittersweet moments hitting adults perhaps even harder than they did kids.
2 Toy Story 3 (2010) – 8.2
Before the toys embarked on their adventure in 2019, they were busy collecting dust in Andy’s room until they’re donated to the colorful world of Sunnyside daycare. However, as it turns out, the daycare has a dark side, and it’s not long before any happy future begins to look unlikely.
Toy Story 3 got the decade off to a stellar start for Disney and Pixar, earning over a billion dollars at the box office thanks to not only its nostalgic appeal but for its emotional impact. The franchise was 15 years old when it was first released, meaning fans who had grown up with the iconic characters were fully invested in their uncertain fate – and few felt let down by the experience.
1 Coco (2017) – 8.4
Pixar’s Coco is a fantasy based on the Mexican traditions surrounding The Day of the Dead. The story follows Miguel, a young boy who is obsessed with music and hopes to make a career out of it like his idol, Ernesto de la Cruz. Although his music-forbidding family hopes to put an end to this dream, Miguel ends up stumbling into the Land of the Dead where he hopes to track down his favorite musician.
Coco‘s mixture of music and cultural folklore continued the winning formula of Moana, playing the plot beat hits that fans had come to expect from Disney and Pixar while expanding the storytelling to new places and peoples.

This week's recipe for two that can be made in 30 minutes for no more than Dh30.
30 in 30: aubergine burger with sticky tomato relish
Aubergine burger with sticky tomato relish
1 bulb of garlic
1 red chilli
1 bunch of basil
100g goat’s cheese
2 bread rolls
Total cost: Dh28.5
Peel and finely slice the onion and two cloves of garlic. De-seed and finely chop the red chilli. Roughly chop the tomatoes.
Heat a couple of tablespoons of olive oil in a saucepan over a medium heat. Add the onion and cook for four to six minutes, until softened. Add the garlic and chilli and cook for a couple of minutes more. Tip the tomatoes into the pan, stir well and season with salt and pepper.
Cook for a further five to six minutes, or until the tomatoes soften and begin to break down. Add half a tablespoon of sugar and a tablespoon of white vinegar, then reduce the heat and cook for a further 10 minutes while you prepare the rest of the meal, After 10 minutes or so, the mixture should thicken nicely.
Slice the aubergine into rounds. Heat a tablespoon of oil in a frying pan and, when hot, add the aubergine slices and cook for three minutes on each side, or until tender.
Slice the goat’s cheese. Pick the basil leaves. Split open the rolls and place a round of aubergine on the base, followed by a slice of goat’s cheese and a few basil leaves; repeat until the aubergine and cheese are used up, add a generous spoonful of tomato relish (serve the rest on the side) and place the lid on the roll.
• The 30 in 30 recipe works on the premise that you have some basic store staples – such as oil, vinegar, butter, salt and pepper – at your disposal

Technology is changing at an ever-increasing pace, empowering medical professionals to perform new ways of testing, diagnose diseases earlier and treat and cure illnesses that were previously thought to be incurable. While technology has helped patients around the world, the medical innovation sector still needs to overcome some barriers to unlock the full potential of data and artificial intelligence (AI).
The role of AI in medical innovation
Innovation is the lifeblood of the health and life sciences industry. New innovations help improve patient outcomes, increase the speed to market for treatments and cures and lower costs while still fulfilling regulatory requirements. These reasons more than justify the billions invested in R&D every year, including the 27% reinvested in innovation by the Belgian biotech sector.
AI plays an important role in accelerating the innovation process. It can be used to:
- facilitate and accelerate a range of manual processes to review clinical data quickly and efficiently;
- assist in drug discovery, design and development;
- improve pathways in patient journeys; and
- streamline daily operations.
Barriers to using intelligent solutions
But how can organizations leverage AI and data in medical innovation? First, the organization needs to investigate the issue to fully understand the problem. Then, it will have to explore the available data sources before preparing, integrating, transforming and standardizing the data itself. Intelligent solutions such as AI, machine learning, algorithms or models then analyze the data and give insights based on the original problem.
Even though that sounds easy enough, organizations are discovering there are still a lot of barriers to overcome.
Data is a double-edged sword. On one hand, the right data used in the right way can reduce the time to market, increase treatment effectiveness and deliver new insights. But on the other hand, there are technical issues concerning data. Organizations need to be mindful of how to receive, store and manage incoming data, especially when this is coupled with the technical depth of the data.
The data within some organizations is hidden in different silos, with no transversal movement, reducing the likelihood that innovators have access to all the data they need when they need it.
In large hospitals, this often prevents one doctor from obtaining a global view of their patient if that patient has passed through several specializations.
A change management program, complete with workshops and enablement sessions, is often required to get silo owners to share their data and benefit the entire organization and its patients.
GDPR and privacy concerns are one reason that organizations maintain separated data silos. However, sharing anonymized data is possible and often recommended.
To give one example, when it comes to COVID-19 vaccinations, governments around the world are vaccinating at-risk citizens first. However, governments do not always have access to their citizens’ medical records, so are unable to identify which citizens should be vaccinated first.
Looking to the future of intelligent solutions
Intelligent solutions can deliver insights, analyze results and assist the innovation process. However, realizing the full potential of intelligent solutions within an organization requires the right infrastructure, including a comprehensive data platform, established data standardization policies and clear regulations on data privacy and security. Is your organization ready to benefit from intelligent solutions?

CNN reported Thursday that the federal government is investigating whether Bonds committed perjury during his grand jury testimony in the Bay Area Laboratory Co-Operative case in 2003.
A person with knowledge of the probe confirmed the report to The Associated Press on Thursday night. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because of the secrecy of the investigation.
Multiple sources told CNN that a federal grand jury has been hearing evidence for more than a month about whether Bonds perjured himself during his Dec. 4, 2003, testimony. CNN reporter Ted Rowlands told ESPN Radio on Thursday night that it took a month for the network to get corroborating sources for the story.
The U.S. attorney's office in San Francisco would neither confirm nor deny that a grand jury is sitting.
Harry Stern, an attorney in the firm representing Bonds, told The Associated Press that "we don't have any knowledge about" a grand jury investigation. He also said he stands by previous statements that his client did not perjure himself during his 2003 testimony.
Bonds was mobbed by reporters after the second game of the Giants' doubleheader with the Astros. When asked to respond, Bonds said "no comment."
When asked what he would tell his fans, Bonds responded, "Tell them I love them."

If You're Saved and You Know it...
Do you ever struggle with the insecure feeling of not knowing for sure if you will go to heaven? Is there any way to overcome that doubt?
With pastoral love and concern, John MacArthur answers the second question with an authoritative yes! He carefully examines the classical biblical texts affirming the forever quality of salvation, but does not ignore the troubling passages that seem to indicate otherwise. From there he shows how those truths apply to you by presenting eleven biblical tests to help you determine whether you've experienced salvation once and for all. He concludes by showing how you can match up your feelings with your faith, and by taking an encouraging look at victory in the Spirit and the promise of God to help you persevere.
DR. JOHN MACARTHUR, JR. is Pastor of Grace Community Church in Sun Valley, California, and President of The Master's College and Seminary. Known for his dynamic expository preaching, John is heard daily on the "Grace to You" syndicated radio broadcast and has a cassette ministry that has distributed more than eight million tapes. His many books include The MacArthur New Testament Commentary series, The Gospel According to Jesus, Our Sufficiency in Christ, Body Dynamics and Found: God's Will.
THE MACARTHUR STUDY SERIES is designed to help Christians better understand and apply the Bible by better understanding some of its key truths and doctrines.

In this paper, a numerical model is developed to predict the behaviour of castellated beams with hexagonal. The numerical model takes into account both material and geometric non-linearity. To initiate buckling, an initial small out-of-plane geometric imperfection, obtained from an eigenvalues buckling analysis, was imposed to the model. Calibration with experimental data obtained from previous work shows that the model is able to predict, with relatively good accuracy, the ultimate load. A parametric study is then followed to determine the effect of web thickness, yielding stress and opening height on the ultimate load of the beams. Based on the parametric studies results, the accuracy of the cross-section classification for castellated beams proposed in the Annex N of Eurocode 3 is assessed.

The Mongolia charity rally is from London to the capital of Mongolia Ulan Bator (Ulaanbaatar), and was organized by charity rally part of Go Health, a UK based charity, in 2014. Participants start the 22,000 kilometer trip from London England. Our intrepid team then drove to Ulaanbaatar Mongolia where they work with a partner charity of Go Health. We received sponsor support from the generous funders listed on screen. We had an amazing adventure, and met a multitude of people and places and memories along the way.
A trip like this is so amazing. When we were on this trip we can saw how big the world is, and yet everywhere we went the people were really hospitable, and willing to offer their help, their hospitality. Going on a trip like this is also a way to connect to historical roots that we as a world community share; I mean some of earliest east-west connections that brought different cultures together, you know, whether it’s the spice route or planning a sailing route to get to Asia, it drove a lot of what the world was. An amazing part of our experience here have been to realize how the world has really become one culture of one world, one people, you know, one modern people; although of course we still went through many areas that were definitely remote, though there’s more unifying between us as people than there is dividing them. So that’s what we want to share.
Live, Love, Laugh today and think how good it is to be alive. And how beautiful the world is, we want to reach out to all and share our embrace, and maybe sometimes it’s hard to see beauty in times of stress, pain or loss though we do want to emphasize that life is good and we are all blessed. And if you’re so lucky to travel, adventure or relax with special people even better, it’s such a meaningful memorable and shaping experience, love to all friends.

Show Above: Nicole Lutz, student, in the Owens Library student lounge.
The wireless pilot program will allow students and faculty greater mobility.
--Dr. Jon Rickman, VP of Information Systems
In 1997, John Hopkins
University was one of the first academic institutions in
the nation to implement a wireless Lan pilot program. Today,
Northwest Missouri State University is following
in the footsteps of wireless pioneers like John Hopkins by launching
a notebook Lan pilot program.
Currently, the wireless network is active in Owens Library, the Station, the Student Union and the Forest Village Community Building.
Faculty, staff and students with a Windows XP, university-owned, Gateway notebook computer should have no trouble using the wireless network. However, they will need to have the Windows XP SP-2 update installed on their computer to work successfully with the wireless network. Before installing the Windows XP SP-2 update, be sure to backup all your important files, because if the installation is problematic, you may need to bring your notebook into the new Electronic Campus Support Center, located across from Owens Library in the old Armory, for a complete software reload. The EC Support Center will install XP SP-2 for you if you have a university-provided notebook computer.
When using the wireless network, unplug the computer from the wired network. When accessing the wired network after having used the wireless network, be sure to disable your wireless connection, because having your wireless connection enabled while using the wired network may cause you to experience network problems and potentially place you in the position of being in violation of campus computing policies.
Instructions on how to switch between Ethernet and wireless and how to download and install the Windows XP SP-2 update can be found on the On-line Support web page at the following web address: www.nwmissouri.edu/compserv/clientcomputing/Online_Supprt/index.htm

When it comes to our smiles, oral health and dental care, we often hear about how important it is to have a “at-home dental care routine” but what about a routine at your professional dentist? At Shiny Smile Dental we believe that preventive dental care is an essential part of providing our patients with the best care possible. For this reason, we recommend regular teeth cleanings in Houston at least twice a year for all of our patients. Patients who experience chronic dental conditions such as tooth decay, cavities, infections or even periodontitis may need to visit us more regularly for cleanings. When is the last time your family had a regular dental cleaning? Contact Shiny Smile Dental today to schedule your appointment.
Did you know that tooth decay is the leading chronic disease among children 6 and older? And, it can be completely avoided! Routine dental cleanings allow your dentist to clean every area in your mouth, even those hard to reach places, reducing your risk of plaque formation, tooth decay and even cavities.
Did you know that debris, plaque and bacteria are the cause of your bad breath? Receiving regular teeth cleanings ensures that your whole mouth is clean and that no debris is lingering in your smile. This drastically reduces your risk of bad breath.
When plaque, bacteria, acid and tartar thrive in the mouth, it can actually lead to infections in the mouth, including the teeth and even the gums. Regular teeth cleanings can reduce the tartar, acid, bacteria and plaque in your mouth, also reducing your risk of an infection.
Want a whiter, brighter looking smile? For most patients, exterior staining can be easily addressed by receiving a professional, routine dental cleaning with Shiny Smile Dental.
Periodontal gum disease is also caused by poor oral hygiene and a lack of proper dental care, receiving routine teeth cleanings can greatly reduce your risk of gingivitis and periodontitis.

Broad daylight shooting between two cars in Surrey
Police are investigating yet another shooting in Surrey, making this the 30th shooting incident in the municipal jurisdiction since January 1.
According to RCMP, shots were fired in broad daylight at 5:45 p.m. on Sunday from a suspect SUV into a victim car at the intersection of 88th Avenue and 132 Street, on the border of the Newton and Whalley areas.
Witnesses told police that multiple shots were fired from the SUV, which was stopped in a turn bay while the car was in the number two lane – next to the turn lane.
The SUV then fled south on 132 Street while the car travelled north on the same street. Police were unable to locate anyone who may have been injured from the incident.
“Surrey RCMP serious crime investigators are continuing to obtain information from several witnesses that were at or near the intersection,” reads a statement by police. “The Lower Mainland District Forensic Identification Section attended the scene and were able to gather several pieces of evidence that could advance this investigation. No arrests or suspects at this time, unknown at this time if linked to any other shooting in recent history.”
On Friday, Surrey RCMP made public that there have been 28 shootings in the municipality since the start of the year. The 29th shooting followed shortly after on Saturday night.

Sydney-based electric motorbike maker Fonzarelli has unveiled its first full electric motorbike with mid-drive motor while it looks to South Australia, the former home of Australian vehicle manufacturing.
As Fonzarelli’s fourth electric vehicle, the NKD breaks the mold for the 10-year-old company which made its mark with moped-style scooters designed for city traffic.
The new NKD model, which has the most range so far of Fonzarelli’s offerings at 120km, sports an efficient mid-drive motor delivering a feisty 9.6kW of power and 56Nm of torque at 6000RPM and has a top speed of 100km/hr.
The dual announcement, made by Fonzarelli in Adelaide on Thursday, has founder Michelle Nazzari who is in talks with potential manufacturers pumped.
Working with Adelaide local Simon Modra, a motorcycle enthusiast and Future Submarine design researcher at the University of South Australia among other things, the two are in discussion with a number of promising manufacturers.
“There are partners here we are very interested to work with,” Nazzari tells The Driven. “At this stage we will keep [manufacturing] in Sydney so we can start getting some bikes out, but hopefully by end of year we will have full scale production down here in SA.”
The NKD, one of the bikes Nazzari intends to manufacturer in South Australia differs from Fonzarelli’s previous vehicles.
Far from ruining the weekend, Nazzari says that you can “chuck it on the back of the 4WD”.
