Release Day Review ~ Something's Brewing at Joe's By SJD Peterson
Title: Something's Brewing at Joe's
Author: SJD Peterson
Release Date: June 30, 2017
The promise of a dream job lures Murphy to Tampa, but he arrives to the rude awakening that the offer is on hold. Now he’s got two choices: slink back to Michigan with his tail between his legs or stay and look for work. Things perk up when he goes into a coffee shop and learns the owner is looking for someone to renovate the apartment above it. He happily takes the job, only later realizing he’s met Joe Sterling, Kaffeinate’s proprietor, before… when they hooked up at a club Murphy’s first night in Tampa.
Murphy and Joe are both proud, passionate, and outspoken. Neither is looking for a relationship, though they can’t deny they go together as well as coffee and doughnuts, in spite of their tempers. But that’s before Joe learns Murphy will be working for the corporation he believes is harming local businesses and the environment—and if Murphy will be supporting it, Joe will want nothing to do with him, dooming any possibility of an unexpected happy ending.
Murphy accepts a job in Florida and is happy to leave his life in Michigan behind. But, when he gets to FL there's a delay with his job and now he has to decide if he should risk staying or tuck his tail between his legs and go back home. I related to Murphy in his happiness to get to a warm climate, but I didn't like him. He was a jerk throughout the story, always with an excuse for needing coffee or being tired, but he treated others like crap quite often. He'd apologize, typically fairly quickly after his reaction to them, but I felt if he was truly sorry for treating people like crap, he'd quit doing it. Murphy meets Joe at a bar and goes home with him for a hookup and both of their needs are met (and it was hot!!). Joe can't stop thinking about the man he met, and is surprised to find out that Murphy was hired to renovate an apartment over the coffee shop that Joe owns. I liked Joe! He had a great relationship with his employees and his customers and seem to enjoy life. But, both of these men had tempers that caused them to overreact and not talk to each other.
Many people are going to think I'm crazy, and I don't think I've ever said this before, but there was too much sex in this story. I never felt the chemistry or connection between these two men. By the amount of time they spent naked, they obviously lusted after each other, but I wish more time had been spent on developing their connection and less time getting them naked. I can't even believe I typed that! Really, had they spent some time talking, they wouldn't have had the issues from their lack of communication!
There was a little drama when Murphy finds himself working for an unethical company and he overhears their plot to get Joe's business, but even that was anticlimactic. The situation was resolved quickly, and off page, and that was the end of it.
I think many people will enjoy this book, and will immediately buy it just on the basis of the "too much sex comment"! This will be an easy read, and if you're looking for a book without a lot of angst, this one is for you!

if you're hitting the Arctic watershed in Ontario it will be Hwy 11 through the north. This is the major truck route as it is somewhat flatter than the 17 (Trans Canada) that skirts along Lake Superior for a ways. Both 11 and 17 meet at Thunder Bay.
From Thunder Bay west there are 2 choices, Trans Canada hwy will take you to Winnipeg through Dryden and Kenora in a northwesterly direction through more of the Arctic watershed.
Option 2 is west and sw from Thunder Bay over to Duluth, MN.
Highway 11 through the north should have good services in all the major centres as for fuel I can't really say if they will have high test or not. Check out www.gasbuddy.com
, you may be able to find current pricing for high test up that way by checking places such as Kapuskasing, Cochrane, Longlac and my favorite Beardmore.
All of your travel through Northern Ontario from North Bay either North or West is on the Canadian Shield. Beautiful country but as other have said watch out for deer and moose at dawn and dusk.
The shield ends about 100km east of Winnipeg and you pop out onto baldass prairie that is so flat you can see your dog running away for 3 days.
Keep us posted when you leave and know the route and we can update you along the way.
Your Visa and Mastercard will work in all the gas pumps, there may be places off the beaten track where you can fill up without even inserting a card first, imagine that eh! Your insurance is good too. Don't bring a handgun into Canada and make sure you have a passport to get back into the US.
Good luck and have fun up here!

Producer: Dr. Dre
Label: Death Row, Interscope, Atlantic
The reason that Snoop became Snoop is because, like Elvis Presley, he was fun and dangerous at the same time. Isn't that the essence "Gin & Juice"? Now pushing 20, the song still emits an aura of licentiousness, malfeasance, and malice, but you can't bring yourself to leave the party, and you don't and shouldn't, because "Gin & Juice" is the best party that rap music has every thrown.
If "Nuthin But a G Thang" takes place at the dawn of the evening, when the drop-tops are still cruising the boulevard, then "Gin & Juice" is the sound of six hours later, when everyone has reached a state of gurgling inebriation and no one is saying "no" to anything.
What a heady blend this is: Piano, synth, bass, drums, and the indispensable "gangsta whine." It's a George McCrae sample, sure enough, and Dre undoubtedly pays tribute to the seedy atmosphere of McCrae's original, but this beat was another beast altogether. Like so many of his greatest works—especially from the 1992-1995 period—"Gin & Juice" is a work of lushness and sublime density, and yet it flows forth as though poured from God's own liquor bottle.

A TEENAGE couple and their three-month-old daughter have been forced to flee their council flat after thugs beat up the 18-year-old father.
The pair, who asked to remain anonymous for fear of their child's and their own safety, have lived at Jimmy Green Court in Coronation Square, Southcote, since May.
Following the incident earlier this month in which a fire extinguisher was also thrown at the 17-year-old mum as she held their screaming child, the couple have been too frightened to return to their home.
In 2003 the Evening Post reported how Reading Borough Council and police were forced to hold crunch talks to decide the block's future after spates of drug-related attacks on neighbours.
The flats, which are used by the council to house vulnerable families, were kept open and Southcote Councillor Chris Swaine said problems there have decreased since then.
The young dad told the Evening Post how he was beaten by youths who thought he had "grassed them up" to the police for committing burglary at his flat in June.
He said: "I was coming back from the job centre and I walked through Coronation Square as I normally do.
"A couple of lads asked me what had been said to the police about the burglary and they told me they wanted to talk about it.
"About five minutes later they came round to the flat, came up the stairs and started to severely punch me in the head.
"I tried to get away and locked myself in the bathroom. I was scared and nearly unconscious.
"I thought they had gone and I opened the door but one of them was waiting outside and started giving me severe beatings in the bathroom.
"I managed to force my way out and I noticed there was blood all over the wall.
"I didn't have a phone to contact the police - my only option was to climb down the drainpipe."
The young family slept on friends' sofas and floors for four days until the council found them a temporary home in Reading, heading back only to collect the remains of their belongings.
Cllr Swaine "This is not a situation that anyone likes to see anyone in and we needed to take appropriate action and it's now been dealt with by council and the police.
"Bearing in mind the number of vulnerable adults we get going through Jimmy Green Court I don't think it's that bad.
"I've only seen two issues like this in the past two years and we don't want to make this place sound like the place of hell."
Meanwhile, the young mum said she is relieved to be out of the block after not being able to walk the street without being in fear.
She said: "They didn't care that I had a baby.
"They are sick and horrible and we were petrified."


Fans know that Brad Pitt is a notorious prankster, but he usually saves his jokes for his friendship with George Clooney. So, when it came to agreeing to a cameo in the new superhero flick Deadpool 2, instead of a prank, Pitt decided to make a demeaning request of the film’s star, Ryan Reynolds.
“He said ‘I want a hand-delivered Starbucks coffee from Ryan Reynolds himself,’” revealed writer Rhett Reese.
“I think it was a double-wet cappuccino,” director David Leitch added.
But, apparently, Pitt was just joking, because according to The Huffington Post, on the day that Reynolds brought the coffee, Pitt had forgotten about his request.
The Fight Club star didn’t ask for much when it came to his blink-and-you’ll-miss-it cameo as X-Force recruit the Vanisher. The A-lister “worked for scale,” – which is the minimum compensation allowed as a member of the Screen Actors Guild – and that would be less than $1,000.
Even though Pitt’s appearance lasts less than a second, fans have been able to easily identify him. But, it turns out, he wasn’t the only Oceans 11 star to make a cameo in Deadpool 2. Reese and his co-writer Paul Wernick also revealed that no one who saw the film’s advanced screenings caught the appearance of the heavily made-up Matt Damon. Alongside Alan Tudyk, Damon shows up as a redneck with a toilet paper manifesto that the time-traveling Cable (Josh Brolin) interrupts.
Pitt is making headlines this week for more than his brief appearance in Deadpool 2. During an interview with Howard Stern on his SiriusXM radio show on Wednesday, Pitt’s ex-girlfriend Gwyneth Paltrow revealed details of the aftermath of her meeting with shamed Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein.
Last year, Paltrow said that Weinstein sexually harassed her when she was just 22 years old after he hired her to star in the adaptation of Jane Austen’s Emma. The terrifying experience took place at his Peninsula Beverly Hills suite, where she claims he put his hands on her and asked her to go to the bedroom for massages.
After being sexually harassed by Harvey Weinstein, Gwyneth Paltrow says Brad Pitt "leveraged his fame and power to protect me at a time when I didn’t have fame or power yet." https://t.co/rfBgWbblQI
— VANITY FAIR (@VanityFair) May 24, 2018
After refusing Weinstein, Paltrow told her then-boyfriend Pitt about the incident, and the actor went to confront the movie mogul. Then later, she and Pitt ran into Weinstein at a Broadway show, and Paltrow says that it was “the equivalent of throwing Weinstein against the wall…energetically. It was so fantastic.”
She says that Pitt leveraged his fame and power to protect her at a time in her career when she didn’t have that, and he is the best because of it. Paltrow added that Brad Pitt also gave Weinstein a warning. He said that if Weinstein ever made her feel uncomfortable again “I’ll kill you, or something like that.”

Excluding Transactions from Income and Expenses
In BodesWell, we use your historical expenses and incomes to project your future expenses and incomes. At the surface, this seems fine, and honestly, what else are we going to go off of? But this only works if you have the ability to exclude certain one-time expenses or income events from future projections.
For example, let's say three months ago you got married. The ceremony was great, everyone had fun at the party, but it set you back about $10,000. While that was a real historical expense, you certainly don't want to plan for a $10k wedding every year.
So BodesWell gives you the ability to remove that expense from your future projected expenses. Here's how it works:

Last year I photographed a beautiful organic farm in the Southern Tablelands area of New South Wales.
I have just added one of the photographs 'Rual tranquility' to my online collection for purchase. As I stood waiting in the cool of this spring morning I couldn't help but feel a sense of relaxation as the sun rose and the first light hit the surrounding hills and the grass in the foreground before me. Earlier as I walked up this hill, I passed a wombat and kangaroos grazing, a truly Australian rural experience on this country property.


As the White House plunges deeper into chaos, Trump appears to be moving to publicly shame Rex Tillerson by unceremoniously pushing him out as secretary of state.
Donald Trump doesn't just demand loyalty, he demands complete fealty. And it now looks like Secretary of State Rex Tillerson's fate may have been determined the day the story leaked last month that he had privately derided Trump as being a "moron."
MSNBC’s Stephanie Ruhle subsequently reported that her sources told her the exact quote from Tillerson was that Trump was an “effing moron.”
On Thursday, in a coordinated leaking campaign from the White House, word spread that Trump is planning to unceremoniously push the former Exxon CEO out of his job at the State Department and replace him with true-believer Trump loyalist, Mike Pompeo, who currently oversees the CIA. (While serving in Congress, Pompeo fanned the Benghazi conspiracy flames for years.)
The pending sacking of Tillerson is the latest evidence of a White House contracting and one where Trump worship is the most important commodity.
As a Washington Post headline quickly noted, "Rex Tillerson’s exit and the Trump administration’s inevitable drift toward yes-men."
And specifically, yes-men who don't insult the boss.
Asked on Thursday whether Tillerson will keep his job, Trump only replied, "He's here. Rex is here."
What prompted the usually low-key Tillerson to openly mock Trump in private? It was because Trump stunned his top generals when he demanded the United States not only reverse its decades-long policy of reducing its nuclear arsenal, but that the U.S. increase its nuclear stockpile, tenfold.
Following NBC's scoop, Tillerson was soon forced to address the press in a strange bout of public contrition. He refused to deny the "moron" report, but stressed Trump is “smart” and said he was “making America great again.”
Nonetheless, the "moron" crack certainly seemed to rattle Trump. In an with Forbes magazine, he soon challenged his secretary of state to an IQ competition, apparently to prove he is not a moron.
But Tillerson isn't the only top aide who has been caught mocking Trump in private. It was recently reported that the National Security Adviser H.R. McMaster unloaded on Trump during a dinner, deriding him as an "idiot," and a "dope" with the intelligence of a "kindergartner."
Will McMaster be the next aide voted off for failing Trump's fealty test?

Initially, 11 artists who account for approximately three million Twitter followers will participate in the program. Among the more prominent stars are:
"High profile personalities who have an established following on social networks have the ability to drive traffic which converts into revenue," says Elias Rocha, CEO, AppTech Corp. "If they can get just 5 per cent of their current fan base to view either their live broadcasts or archived videos that will be made available for subsequent on-demand viewing, we will generate, on the low side, $1,000,000 a year in revenue from online and mobile advertising sources alone." Rocha continues, "Because the video streams and apps are free to users who are pre-qualified consumers of this content, we believe that the click-through rate and the combined page views on web and mobile platforms may actually be higher than 5 per cent."
Diogo Boni comments:
"Media Bridge's new partnership with AppTech establishes a direct audiovisual link between the artists and their fans. This opens a major window of opportunity to create new and synergistic products using complementary multiple media platforms."
"Furthermore, we will be exploring merchandising opportunities to enhance our revenue base. For now, AppTech's thrust is in Brazil, the world's seventh largest economy by nominal GDP and eighth largest by purchasing power parity. AppTech will continue to consolidate its market presence in Brazil and plans to go after other lucrative markets in the rest of Latin America, North America, Europe, and the Far East. AppTech is positioning itself to be a major force in Brazil's ever growing media market.


Spoiler alert: the Wusthof Classic line is A LOT better and it’s not really even close. The Wusthof Gourmet line is more of a diffusion brand than a serious knife contender. If you’re confused about the differences between the Wusthof Classic vs Gourmet set of knives, I’ve compiled a helpful guide to demystify the two.
Not too long ago I was also in the market for a new knife when I came across a set of Wusthof Gourmet at (what seemed like) a really great price. I was a little suspicious about the anomalously low pricing and did a little digging. Well make that a lot of digging– Wusthof isn’t particularly forthright about the differences in quality between their various product lines. Below is everything I’ve learned to help you cut through the marketing jargon and make an informed purchase.
I’m going to try to convince you to splurge for the Wusthof Classic but if you were attracted to the Gourmet because of it’s more affordable price tag then I’ve also laid out some more budget-friendly options that I prefer like the Victorinox Fibrox or the Tojiro DP Gyutou.
|X50CRMOV15 steel and Polyoxomethylene (POX) handle
|X50CRMOV15 steel and Polyoxomethylene (POX) handle
Wusthof Classic vs Gourmet: The differences
The Classic is forged, the Gourmet is stamped
The most important difference between these two knives is how they are manufactured. The Wusthof Classic line has a blade forged with Wusthof’s signature 40 step process. During the forging process, the blade is hit repeatedly with a hammer which causes the atoms within the steel (called the grain structure) to realign to the contours of the knife blade. This makes the steel substantially stronger and more durable and also avoids many common flaws like porosity, shrinkage, and cavities that are only possible with inferior manufacturing techniques. You’ll benefit by having a knife that will stay sharper longer and will be so resistant to chipping that it may last a lifetime.
The Gourmet line uses a laser-cut stamped blade. This process uses a laser to cut out a blade from a large piece of sheet metal. Wusthof tauts their 14 step process for this but it isn’t much different from the way any cheapo department store knife is made.
Wusthof Classic has a full bolster, The Gourmet has none
Debates rage about the advantages and disadvantages of a bolster on a knife. I’ll stick to the facts: a bolster is a thick piece of metal between the blade and knife handle. A full bolster extends down the heel of a knife while a half bolster does not.
Only forged knives can have a bolster so it’s a good indicator of a knife’s quality. However, the reverse is not true. Many forged knives do not have a bolster so you shouldn’t assume that all knives without one are poorly constructed. Ultimately, it comes down to personal preference. I prefer the balance that a bolster gives the knife. It feels better in my hand but others would disagree.
Some argue that a full bolster knife is safer because the heel is thick and cannot cut you. I haven’t found this to be beneficial. If you’re regularly hitting your fingers off the back of a knife accidentally then you’re bound to end up hurting yourself with bolster or without. This shouldn’t be a serious consideration when considering a knife
A full bolster knife is much harder to sharpen. Over time as you sharpen your blade it will recede and leave the bolster sticking out. You’ll need something more powerful than a sharpening stone to take care of this. Either take it to a professional to perform “bolster reduction” or try your hand at doing it yourself with a belt sander. I haven’t had my knife long enough to require bolster reduction but I likely will not be up for doing this myself. It takes knife sharpening from a fun, straightforward skill to a serious endeavor with a real risk of permanently damaging your knife.
Wusthof Classic vs Gourmet: What they have in common
So these two lines are quite different but they are Wusthof after all right? The Gourmet must have something going for it. Let’s take a look.
Full tang blade
The tang of a blade is the metal part that extends into the knife’s handle. In a full tang blade, the silhouette matches the shape of the handle compared with other styles like stick tang where the blade narrows inside the handle.
Of course, a full tang is more costly because of the extra metal used. A full tang blade is stronger than alternatives and allows for increased leverage and pressure. There’s a little “give” or shifting of the knife blade within the handle while cutting with most cheaper blades that is completely eliminated with the full tang. It’s not just a snobby thing, you can really feel the difference as you cut. A secondary benefit of the full tang is the extra weight it gives the handle. It moves the center of gravity into the handle which is more ergonomic than cheaper top heavy knives.
Stainless steel material
Both lines of knives use the same proprietary formula of stain-resistant high-carbon molybdenum-vanadium steel called “X50CRMOV15.” The steel is high in chromium which makes it especially rust resistant and the high-carbon promotes blade edge sharpness. Overall, the stainless steel in either product line is a significant step up from most budget knives.
There is no difference in handle material between the Wusthof Classic vs. Gourmet lines. Both use Polyoxomethylene (POX) synthetic material which Wusthof claims has a tighter molecular structure to increase durability. Fading and discoloration are reduced compared to other handle materials.
The POX material looks and feels high end despite being a synthetic material. It could easily be mistaken for wood and is very different from the plastic knife handles most of us are familiar with.
Sharp factory edge
While you can sharpen your knife to any edge degree you desire, both the Classic and Gourmet lines of knives now come factory sharpened with a 14 degree edge on either side. Wusthof knives used to come sharpened with a 20 degree edge as is typical for German knives. The popularity of much sharper Japanese knives, with edges as sharp as 10 degrees have forced Wusthof to reduce their angle to compete. Out of the box you should expect either knife line to feel slightly sharper than competing German knife brands. It will produce more effortless cuts through tougher foods like meat.
All Wusthof knives are made in Solingen, Germany, by master craftspeople. So if you’re like me and you’re concerned about the working conditions of the manufacturers of the products you buy, then Wusthof is a great choice. I’m confident these knives are made with the highest ethical standards.
Wusthof Classic vs Gourmet: Verdict
The Wusthof Classic is an objectively superior line of knives primarily because of its forged steel construction and comes with a premium price tag. If quality is your top concern then the Classic is our unqualified recommendation.
If budget is a larger concern then the Gourmet isn’t a bad choice but be aware that you’re paying in part for the Wusthof brand. Other knives like the Victorinox Fibrox are more affordable for a similar level of quality. For a similar price to the Wusthof Gourmet you could get a Tojiro DP Gyutou which actually has a forged blade like the Classic. I’d recommend either of these knives before the Gourmet.

LONDON – Latvian airline airBaltic has been forced to ground six of its 36-strong fleet of Airbus A220 aircraft as a result of an ongoing spare parts supply problem.
The protracted problems with supply and shortages has forced the suspension of some September scheduled flights for the carrier, and brought about an operational restructure to cope.
The spares supply shortage issue for airBaltic was reported back in June this year, and it is understood that some aircraft have been grounded for as long as 6 months with spares and maintenance issues.
In June, the spares problem forced the cancellation of flights for the carrier’s Vilnius hub. As a result, the flight frequency to four destinations – Paris, Berlin, Tallinn, and Riga – were reduced.
It was confirmed to local Latvian media outlet 15min.lt that September cancellations will see the termination of flights to Oslo, London Gatwick, Dublin, and Hamburg.
Furthermore, September will also see a reduction in flight frequency to Paris, which will be served three times a week, and Berlin, which will reduce to a twice weekly service.
Global supply chain issues
Whilst the aviation sector moves through a period of flight cancellations and delays, the typical reasons for this centre on staffing shortages, infrastructure problems and the resurgence in demand for air travel, following the two-year pandemic hiatus.
Airbaltic has cited a global supply chain issue with aircraft spares and components, claiming it is a global industry problem which cannot be resolved with the use of leased aircraft.
This contention is perhaps borne out by the fact that several carriers have encountered similar supply issues with spares for engineering and maintenance.
Amongst the more high-profile airline operators, both Lufthansa and Qatar Airways have reported similar problems. It is understood that Qatar maintain an Airbus A380 on stand-by in the event of a spares supply problem delaying maintenance.
Similarly, engine manufacturers like Rolls Royce are encountering similar problems with the supply chain for the provision of piece parts needed in the manufacturing process.
As if the problems currently faced by the airline sector are not enough – flight delays and cancellations due to labour and staffing issues, travel movement caps imposed by airports – the global supply issue for aircraft spares and components is problematic.
The problem is a universal one, and all industry stakeholders are affected by it to some degree. The problem is a multi-level one, which extends from manufacturers, to major and regional airline and charter operators, down to owner operators.
With other world economic factors also coming into play – cost of living crises, fuel and energy supply issues and labour shortages – the supply chain issue is not one that will be resolved in a matter of weeks or months.

Did you know that July 22nd is Parents’ Day? While much lesser known than Mother’s or Father’s Day, Parents’ Day is a time to celebrate parents for raising the next generation. It also reminds us to reflect on how hard parents work – whether it is in the home, the workforce, or both. Balancing work and family is challenging for parents, and they deserve workplace policies that provide them adequate time off to attend to their needs and their families’ needs without risking their economic security. That’s where paid family and medical leave would make a difference for parents in Montana.
While the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) of 1993 was a first step, the law only guarantees unpaid leave and only covers employees who work at least 1,250 hours for the employer during the 12-month period immediately preceding their leave and works at a location where the employer has at least 50 employees. This policy leaves many working Americans out. Forty percent of working Americans are not covered by the Family and Medical Leave Act and of the workers who do qualify, 46 percent state that they cannot afford unpaid leave.
As a result, states have started to enact their own family and medical leave policies. Today, six states and the District of Columbia, provide businesses and employees access to paid family and medical leave programs.
In 2017, MBPC and partner organizations proposed a Montana paid family medical leave insurance program, FAMLI). The FAMLI Act would combine small amounts from employees and employers (less than one percent of wages) to create a dedicated funding stream for workers when they need time off to care for themselves or a loved one. From these small contributions, workers would receive a portion of their wages while on leave. There are numerous economic, social and health benefits for moms, dads, as well as businesses and the overall workforce in Montana. Here are just a few examples:
When both parents have access to workplace policies that help them balance work and family demands, everyone wins. So, whether or not you are a parent, we can all agree that moms and dads make a lot of sacrifices to support their kids. The staff at MBPC is excited to continue to work with organizations and families across the state to find Montana solutions to better support workers and their families.
MBPC is a nonprofit organization focused on providing credible and timely research and analysis on budget, tax, and economic issues that impact low- and moderate-income Montana families.

New Yorker writer George Packer has penned a complex but cohesive portrait of American decline in The Unwinding, Anis Shivani writes in the Observer‘s June issue.
Developers connive with local government—both aided by Wall Street sharks eager to securitize lousy mortgages in pursuit of out-sized profits—to bring middle-class investors to their knees. This tale has been oft-told, but Packer’s skill in deploying novelistic depth of characterization makes the connections between high and low—normally segregated classes—all too apparent.
Within Packer’s sweeping survey of American ills, it’s his skill at connecting the dots between seemingly disparate characters and events that makes Packer’s work so compelling, Shivani suggests. Read the whole review here.
The Dallas Morning News also gave The Unwinding a favorable review, calling it “long-form journalism at its best.”
And while having your book described as “a painful thing to read” by The New York Times is often not a good thing, in this case reviewer Dwight Garner is describing his visceral reaction to the book’s power. Garner says The Unwinding “hums—with sorrow, with outrage and with compassion…”
The Boston Globe is somewhat less impressed, calling the book “compelling at times,” but pegging it as perhaps Packer’s “worst non-fiction book” due to its fragmented reliance on stories already familiar to many readers.

Today: Tesla founder and CEO Elon Musk comments on fire that sparked a sell-off in Tesla stock on day shares turn around. Also: Wall Street rebounds as Instagram ads propel Facebook.
The Lead: Tesla CEO praises Model S response in car fire caught on tape
After two days of declines on Wall Street following a video of a Model S on fire that went viral, Tesla shares turned around Friday and the company’s cofounder and CEO, Elon Musk, responded to critics by saying a gasoline-powered car would have fared much worse in the same incident.
The video of Tuesday’s fire on a Washington highway spread like wildfire around the Web on Wednesday, and Tesla shares — up more than 450 percent on the year at that point — quickly descended, losing more than 10 percent Wednesday and Thursday. The main concern is that the fire — along with previous combustion issues with electric cars, including problems Chevrolet faced when rolling out the Volt — could dissuade potential buyers from taking the leap and buying a Tesla, hurting the company’s growth rate.
“With new technologies such as lithium ion batteries, there’s heightened awareness around a fire,” RW Baird research analyst Ben Kallo told the Mercury News on Thursday, adding that fears could make potential customers for the Palo Alto-based company wait even longer to make a purchase.
However, in a blog post Friday, Musk attempted to quell fears that Tesla’s Model S was prone to such incidents, pointing out that it was the first fire one of the sedans had suffered while gasoline-powered car fires are relatively common.
“There are 150,000 car fires per year according to the National Fire Protection Association, and Americans drive about 3 trillion miles per year according to the Department of Transportation. That equates to 1 vehicle fire for every 20 million miles driven, compared to 1 fire in over 100 million miles for Tesla,” Musk pointed out.
The blog post also went into great detail on the incident that sparked the fire, explaining that a large metal object, believed to be part of a large truck, struck the bottom of the Model S with unusual force that pierced the armor plate protecting the car’s battery pack. Musk also stressed that the safeguards in the battery pack kept the fire from spreading to the passenger enclosure.
“Had a conventional gasoline car encountered the same object on the highway, the result could have been far worse. A typical gasoline car only has a thin metal sheet protecting the underbody, leaving it vulnerable to destruction of the fuel supply lines or fuel tank, which causes a pool of gasoline to form and often burn the entire car to the ground,” Musk wrote.
Tesla’s Model S has been the most important factor in the company’s booming Wall Street success in 2013, with successful sales allowing Musk to announce its first profitable quarter and pay off the federal government’s loan much earlier than expected. Shares resumed their upward trajectory Friday, gaining 4.4 percent to $180.98.
However, a Wall Street Journal blog item warns that Tesla’s recent decline sets off technical alarm bells that could portend a decline of up to 30 percent from current levels.
“You have to respect these negative formations when they occur,” Ladenburg Thalmann chief technical analyst Adolfo Rueda told the Journal. “The trend is very, very extended. I wouldn’t buy it.”
SV150 market report: Facebook sets new all-time high as stocks rebound
Wall Street rebounded Friday from heavy losses earlier in the week, but still ended the week down as politicians keep the government shut down due to partisan squabbling. Silicon Valley tech stocks joined in the gains, as Facebook bounced back from recent weakness after announcing that the Instagram photo-sharing service will start selling ads.
Facebook gained 3.8 percent to a record closing high of $51.04 after Instagram announced that it would begin serving photo and video ads to its users in the first revenue-generating effort for the San Francisco photo-sharing service since its $1 billion acquisition by the Menlo Park social network last year. Analysts praised the move Friday: Stern Agee analyst Arvhind Bhatia raised his price target on Facebook stock from $50 to $58 and wrote, “we estimate Instagram could generate $800M in revenue in the next 3-4 years.”
Adobe (ADBE) showed no ill effects on Wall Street after announcing a major data breach, with the San Jose software company rising 1.4 percent to $54.57. Yahoo (YHOO) continued to establish multiyear highs, selling for more than $35 for the first time since 2006 before closing with a 3 percent increase at $34.89 despite reports that Alibaba will not exercise an initial public offering this year. Yelp continued to rise to record prices, establishing an all-time intraday high of $73.22 while gaining 3.1 percent to a record closing price of $73.22, and Netflix (NFLX) gained 1.7 percent to $327.26.
While few of Silicon Valley’s largest tech companies fell Friday, two of its biggest names failed to advance. Apple (AAPL) fell 0.1 percent to $483.03 as retailers announced cut-rate prices of its new iPhone 5C and an analyst check showed greater supply of the iPhone 5S than its predecessor at the same time, while Google (GOOG) dropped 0.4 percent to $872.35.
Up: SolarCity, Tesla, Pandora, SunPower (SPWRA), Facebook, Juniper, Yelp, Yahoo, Electronic Arts (ERTS), Zynga, Symantec, Gilead, Netflix, Hewlett-Packard (HPQ), Salesforce, VMware, Applied Materials, Nvidia, Adobe, eBay
Down: Google, Apple, LinkedIn, Workday
The SV150 index of Silicon Valley’s largest tech companies: Up 9.94, or 0.75 percent, to 1,342.55
The tech-heavy Nasdaq composite index: Up 33.41, or 0.89 percent, to 3,807.75
The blue chip Dow Jones industrial average: Up 76.1, or 0.51 percent, to 15,072.58

After months of snapping, painting, drilling, sewing, and fitting...I was able to put together a pretty fabulous look for the Night of Spectacles 2012 fundraiser held at the Buckhead Theatre in Atlanta. The event was a huge success as the Georgia Lions Lighthouse Foundation raised over $200,000 for uninsured Georgians who receive sight-saving eye surgeries, eye glasses, and eye exams from the Lighthouse every year.
Check out a few behind the scenes pics and some notes on how I created this look!
I started with a box of eyeglasses that had been donated to Georgia Lions Lighthouse foundation...
Popped out the lenses and discarded the frames, then drilled a hole into each lens for sewing. (I counted about 300 lenses) ...
Then I spray painted all lenses with a fluorescent green paint, added a 2nd coat of gold metallic to some, and let them dry for 24 hours. I constructed the base garment in a hot pink satin fabric while the lenses were drying. Starting from the bottom, I began hand sewing each lens onto the garment, overlapping each one to hide the strings. I added a gold studded belt to finish the look.
... with my model, Dr. Jill Wells!
Sheree Whitfield, Housewives of Atlanta, served as one of the judges for the student designer competition.
This was an amazing experience & I look forward to doing it all over again next year!! xoxo


The intensified post-clearance audit verification and investigation of importers suspected to have violated provisions of the Customs Modernization and Tariff Act has resulted in the collection of P191.38 million additional duties and taxes for January 2021, the Bureau of Customs (BOC) said in a statement yesterday.
The BOC said this involved three demand letters collected and 21 filed applications for Prior Disclosure Program (PDP).
“Out of the 21 PDPs filed in January 2021, 17 were from mechanically deboned meat (MDM) importers under audit tallying a total amount of P36.59 million,” the BOC said.
In 2020, the BOC’s Post Clearance Audit Group (PCAG) generated an estimated additional revenue of P1.2 billion as part of its post clearance efforts consisting of 168 issued audit notification letters, of which 60 were issued against importers of MDM on October 2020.
The BOC said the PCAG is optimistic that additional revenues may still be collected from post clearance for the remaining months of 2021.
Presently, there are still 24 demand letters being collected with an estimated amount of P12 billion, 18 which are undergoing motion for reinvestigation/reconsideration amounting to P5 billion, while the rest remain unpaid and will be referred to BOC Legal Service for filing of collection suit amounting to P6.9 billion.
“The BOC is steadfast in its mission and mandate of collecting lawful revenues through ascertaining the payment of appropriate duties and taxes as the nation gears towards economic recovery amidst the current health crisis,” the agency said.

Panel suggests ridership level for reviewing rural rail lines
An expert panel advising the transport ministry proposed new guidelines on July 25 for when rail lines that have been in the red for years should come up for review.
The panel recommended that train services run by Japan Railway companies should be evaluated once they hit a certain low level of ridership.
But the panel took a conservative approach, setting the benchmark far lower than decades ago, when it was used in determining whether to cut unprosperous rail services.
A review would not necessarily lead to anything drastic, such as scrapping a rail line outright, although it could indeed put it on the chopping block.
be in the red：慣用語，虧空；負債；有赤字。例句：The travel agency has been in the red for the last three years.（這家旅行社過去3年一直處於虧損狀態。）
on the chopping block：慣用語，字面意義為放在砧板上，形容任人宰割，受制於人，人為刀俎我為魚肉；chopping block，砧板。例句：In recent days, European leaders have proposed a ban on Russian coal imports and have floated the possibility of sanctions on Russian oil as well. Russian natural gas, which makes up a large percentage of the fuels used across Europe, does not appear to be on the chopping block.（歐洲領袖近日已提議禁止俄羅斯煤炭進口，並也提出可能對俄羅斯石油實施制裁，但在歐洲各地所使用的燃料中佔很大比例的俄國天然氣，看似尚未任人宰割。）

The city manager for Joplin, Missouri, wants to restrict what the Joplin Police Department can write on its Facebook page, KOAM-TV reported. At issue are crime incident highlights that provide a “popular social media connection” between the police and the public.
Joplin police began posting specific arrests and incident calls on its Facebook page in August. But emails obtained by KOAM through the state’s Sunshine Law show the police department and city hall disagreed on the practice.
Listing official incident and arrest reports is common on social media and through traditional media outlets. Police reports are generally considered public information if certain details are left off when no one is charged with a crime. In most cases, arrests are also considered public information.
Documents obtained by KOAM show that city manager Sam Anselm wrote to Joplin Police Chief Matt Stewart, and asked him to tell Capt. Trevor Duncan to stop posting the reports on social media. Anselm said the reports cause "divisiveness."
"Please tell Captain Duncan to stop posting the incident spotlights...until we have a chance to talk about them again," Anslem wrote. "I have a hard time seeing how they benefit the community. We can find other ways to highlight the positive activities of the department without creating and inviting divisiveness online."
Duncan defended the practice in an email to the police chief. He said the social posts are needed because they "let people know what officers are doing, what's going on in the Joplin community, and about officers' efforts to work hard and combat crime; unique cases of robbery, to drug busts, and public indecency," KOAM reported.
In another email, Anselm accused the department of trying to create click bait to get more Facebook likes. Stewart responded by saying other police agencies make similar posts, and it is not click bait.
The Joplin Police Department reported no official complaints from the public about the "incident spotlight" posts, according to KOAM.
The police department said it was given new guidelines that don't support the incident spotlight as a continuing feature. The guidelines, included in documents obtained by the TV station, tell the police department how and what it can post.
On Thursday, the department listed incident reports following requests from the public:
Earlier in the month, a Facebook user asked if the incident reports will continue and the received the following reply:

A Huntsville, Ala., police officer has been found guilty of murder for fatally shooting a man who had a gun to his own head and was threatening suicide.
William “Ben” Darby, 28, faces between 20 years and life for the murder of Jeffrey Parker in 2018, a jury ruled Friday.
Parker called police on April 3, 2018, claiming he was armed and suicidal, according to AL.com. Huntsville Officer Genisha Pegues responded first and began to try deescalating the situation.
But when Darby arrived on the scene, he immediately began yelling at Pegues to “point your f--king gun at him,” according to body cam footage.
Within 11 seconds of entering the house, Darby shot Parker in the face.
Darby’s attorney, partially paid for by the Huntsville City Council after members voted to dedicate $125,000 in public money to his criminal defense, argued that the officer shot Parker in self-defense. But District Attorney Rob Broussard said Friday after the verdict that Darby “had no business being a police officer.”
“He was not justified in any way with what he did to Mr. Parker,” Broussard said at a press conference, calling Darby’s actions “off the charts.”
Tim Gann, Madison County’s chief trial attorney, echoed similar comments.
“An innocent man was murdered,” Gann told the jury, according to AL.com. “He called for help and he got Ben Darby.”
Police Chief Mark McMurray said he is “in the first stages of shock.”
“While we thank the jury for their service in this difficult case, I do not believe Officer Darby is a murderer,” McMurray said in a statement.
“Officers are forced to make split-second decisions every day, and Officer Darby believed his life and the lives of other officers were in danger. Any situation that involves a loss of life is tragic. Our hearts go out to everyone involved.”

Two entrepreneurial-minded friends, Doug Nguyen and Michael Turmur, have teamed together to start a new venture and they are busy creating a home at Launch Workplaces in Tysons, VA. Their soon-to-be-announced mobile app will play in the up and coming gig economy. “We chose Launch because it was the best bet at the time, we checked a few places but Launch seemed to be the fittest place for us. And so far it’s been great. We feel comfortable developing our businesses here,” says Doug.
Doug and Michael are no strangers to startups, both having started and sold businesses prior to coming together when they discovered their shared passions for software development and business. Doug has experience in the exporting business at Exportechs and Michael has experience in innovative communications with Pico Greetings. Michael is also working on a separate business plan in the decidedly non-tech rag trade with a high-end bomber jacket. Coffee, late nights and weekends are fueling these two entrepreneurs.
The pair may be young, but they have plenty of advice to give other entrepreneurs. When asked what business book influenced them, both energetically answered with Rich Dad Poor Dad, a 1997 book written by Robert Kiyosaki and Sharon Lechter. They also highly recommend The Innovator’s Dilemma by Clayton Christensen and Simon Sinek’s TED Talk, “Start with Why.”
Launch Workplaces is excited to welcome them to our community. We are looking forward to seeing what these two create!

The national youth theatre company, Australian Theatre for Young People (ATYP), is proud to announce two unique and exciting new opportunities for Australians aged 18–26. Partnering with the Australian Theatre Company (LA), the young recipients will have a years mentoring with ATYP in Sydney including the opportunity to travel to Los Angeles to be part of the Summer Reading Series with the Australian Theatre Company in mid‐2019.
ATYP Ambassadors Rebel Wilson and Rose Byrne are both alumni of the theatre company and are generously supporting two ini a ves with ATYP. Each of the opportunities has different selection criteria but both are centred around identifying, nurturing and promoting the next generation of theatre artists.
Rose Byrne continues her annual commitment to support an emerging female leader in the arts with a $10,000 scholarship. This could be a director, writer, actor or producer. Her commitment to the support of women in film is widely known but this scholarship represents her commitment to women in theatre.
“I’m delighted to be able to offer this opportunity to young women passionate about a career in theatre. I know that ATYP will provide a nurturing and professional environment for an artist to learn and grow their art form. I look forward to following their progress and seeing the quality of work that is created. I’m delighted that ATYP conti nues to be at the forefront of mentoring the arts leaders of tomorrow.”
In 2019, Rebel Wilson has established the $15,000 ‘Rebel Wilson Comedy Commission’ to be awarded to a female writer/performer. “Australians obviously have a great sense of humour and there’s a ton of young talent out there who are writers or writer/performers in the comedy space that need more opportunities to develop their craft. Breaking into television and movies can be almost near impossible for young people. When I started my career, I started writi ng for the theatre ‐ it was a way to show my comedic talents ‐ and people saw my work onstage and that’s how I got an agent, got into Australian television which eventually led to Hollywood movies. So I see this commission as a great way to help a talented young artist get their start in the industry.
I owe a ton to ATYP and the brilliant and kind people who have worked there. So I am trying to give back through this commission and love collaborating with ATYP on helping young Australians.”
Applications for both opportunities are now open. Full details of the selection criteria are available on the ATYP website. Applications close on 29 January 2019.


Day in and day out, horizontal and tub grinders are put to the test. Wood, compost, recyclables, and waste of all types are thrown at these machines, with the expectation that a precise finished product will come out on the other side.
Although they’re built to be tough, dependable machines, a grinder is only as good as its operator. Neglecting maintenance, using the wrong type of cutting tips, even disregarding safety practices all can result in a machine that operates at less than an optimum level.
From production and profitability to uptime and uniformity, get the most out of your grinder with these five tips.
Suitable Screen Configuration
Round or square openings. Large or small screen area. Added features to achieve a specific outcome. Several types of grinder screens are available. To get the best results from the grinder, use the proper screen for the material being processed and the desired end-product.
As a general rule of thumb, round screens are ideal when consistent finish material is the desired outcome; for example, mulch production. Conversely, square screens have more open area for higher production, making them a great choice when consistency isn’t of high concern but volume is. Certain screens are designed for wet material and commonly used for compost, food waste, and green waste. Further specified configurations are available with assistance from a local dealer.
Correct Cutting Tips
Similar to screen configurations, a variety of cutting tips is offered to suit different types of materials. Ensuring the proper tip is used for the material being processed is crucial to preventing issues with the finish product as well as damage to the tips.
And just as important as the material being processed is what else might be mixed in with it. Contaminants can be present in all types of material and, when not identified upfront, can damage the grinder’s cutting tips and screens.
For example, abrasion-resistant tips should be used when processing dirty material that could include highly-abrasive contaminants like sand. Conversely, wide-block tips are the most universal style and work well on wood, compost, and green waste. Additional
options are offered for further specific applications.
Regular Routine Maintenance
Prior to starting up the machine, the operator should conduct a quick inspection. A daily checklist might look something like this:
-Visually inspect machine for anything that appears to be damaged or could interfere with operation
-Check the engine oil level
-Check the engine oil to be sure it’s free of contaminants; change as needed
-Grease high-activity areas of the machine
-Check wear parts; replace as needed
*Smaller screen size tends to increase wear on the cutting tips so operators who use this configuration need to replace more frequently
A final note, many of the grinder’s wear parts can be rotated for maximized life expectancy. Depending on the machine’s hours and applications, the operator should follow a schedule for timely rotation.
Standard Safety Checks
Be aware of nearby people and equipment when operating a grinder. An operator should always put the safety of him/herself and others ahead of all else.
All operators must comply with OSHA and their employer’s regulations regarding personal protective equipment (PPE) when working with or around a grinder.
To reduce the potential of a fire hazard, clear the machine of debris daily, taking extra care to ensure the mill bearings are free from debris. Make sure the infeed roller is clear before turning on the machine.
On-Point Operation Technique
Whether a 10-year veteran of a company or a new employee, every grinder operator should receive thorough training on the machine prior to operating. Owners, mechanics, and anyone else who may work with the machine at some point should be trained on it as well. Reputable dealerships typically provide free training at the time of equipment setup.
Prior to starting the machine for the day, address all daily maintenance and safety checks.
At the end of the day, allow the machine ample time to cool down before fully shutting it off. Never attempt to do any maintenance checks of the machine, especially the engine, until it has cooled completely.
By combining a small time investment with heightened awareness, every operator can get the most out of horizontal and tub grinders.

In this cooperation project with the company Gross Funk, control technology for an autonomous stage vehicle was developed. This platform is optimized for the requirements of large arenas. Applications range from simple transportation tasks to complex choreographies with multiple systems. In that context the system offers a wide constructional flexibility.
The robot VIONA (Vehicle for Intelligent Off-road NAvigation) is an agile platform for applications in rough terrain. The vehicle has the dimensions of a small car and weighs about 700kg. The electric drive consists of four single wheel motors with 1.2kW power each. Front and rear axis can be steered separately. That way, complex driving manoeuvres like crab steering and double-Ackermann steering can be achieved.
Mechanics, electronics and control software have been realised by the Robot Makers GmbH. The rollout took place in October 2012 in the context of the “Sciences Night 2012” in Kaiserslautern.

Mumbai: Storming his way into telecom sector, Mukesh Ambani, India's richest man, Thursday announced the launch of much-talked about Jio 4G service, offering free voice calls and national roaming along with what he touted as the world's lowest data tariff.
Ambani, 59, who had more than a decade back left the telecom business to younger brother Anil when the Reliance empire their father had created was split, outlined his re-entry plans through a slew of "affordable" offerings and plans that promise to shake up the country's telecom industry.
Targeting 100 million customers in the shortest span of time, he told Reliance Industries' annual general meeting that its wireless phone unit, Reliance Jio Infocomm Ltd will offer data for Rs 50 per GB and monthly plan for as low as Rs 149.
Voice calling for Jio users will be free for life, so will be national roaming.
"We Indians have come to appreciate and applaud Gandhi-giri, now we can all do 'data-giri', which is an opportunity to do unlimited good things with unlimited data," Ambani said at the AGM.
In 2003, the undivided Reliance had created a storm of kind by announcing monsoon hungama, offering wireless connectivity for an unheard price of Rs 501.
Devoting two-third of his 90-minute speech to make a slew of announcements on Jio, he took competition head-on by announcing free services on Jio for four months beginning September 5.
Voice calling will be free on Jio phones for life and post December 31, 10 data plans will be offered starting at Rs 19 a day for occasional users, Rs 149 a month for low data users and Rs 4,999 a month for heavy data users.
In the speech that found mention of his children, Isha and Akash, who are both the directors on Jio as also his wife, Nita, Ambani did not forget to make a mention of government's ambitious programmes Digital India, Make in India and Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
"Jio will fulfill Digital India dream of Prime Minister Narendra Modi," he said, calling Jio a "revolutionary" step to realise India's digital ambitions.
Ambani didn't mince words when talking about the competition, asking them "not to misuse their market power by creating unfair hurdles, when it comes to providing points of interconnect between their networks and Jio's networks".
Telecom operators not only have legal obligation to provide points of interconnect to other operators, but also cannot limit customers' right to migrate to Jio using Mobile Number Portability, he said.
A company statement later said: "Jio may extend the period of free services in case Jio subscribers are not able to get adequate experience of seamless connectivity across network due to POI congestion and MNP restrictions and the quality of service parameters are not as per the benchmarks desired by management."
Ambani said Jio's base rate will be one-tenth of the prevailing data rates. "In our data plans, the effective rates will be 5 paisa per MB or Rs 50 per GB... The more data you use, the lower will be the rate," he said.
Stating that new handsets will be provided at affordable rates, he said LyF handsets will be available at price points starting from Rs 2,999. Devices for 2G/3G customers will be available at Rs 1,999.
Shares of Idea Cellular and Bharti Airtel tanked up to 9 percent today after Ambani announced the free voice calling and cheaper data tariffs.
Ambani said Jio will provide India's first mobile network running entirely on high-speed known as 4G and LTE, or fourth generation and long-term evolution.
The network will reach 18,000 cities and 200,000 villages with data speeds that will allow video calls and more, he said.
"Customers should pay for only one service, either voice or data. Not both... The era of paying for voice calls is ending," he said. "No Jio customer will ever have to pay for voice calls again."
He also announced a 25 percent more data for students, 1 million Wi-Fi hotspots across the country, "best-ever international calling rates", unlimited subscription to Jio app and special solutions for enterprises.
"Jio's data, voice, video and full bouquet of Jio applications and content will be available for everyone, absolutely free, till December 31, 2016," he said promising to offer data speeds of up to 1 gigabyte per second.
Reliance Jio Infocomm is offering unlimited data and premium access to all the Jio apps till the end of the year for all the consumers.
Ambani mentioned that it will have digital e-KYC activation so the SIM card can be activated instantly.
Reliance Jio claims to be the cheapest LTE provider in the world. "I believe that these are the absolute lowest data rates anywhere in the world. Jio makes India the highest quality, most affordable data market in the world," he said.
He also announced Jio's entrepreneurship fund that aims to provide venture capital to encourage young entrepreneurs to build digital businesses.
Archrival and the largest mobile operator in the country Bharti Airtel welcomed Reliance Jio's "entry to the digital world" and said as a responsible operator it will fulfil all regulatory obligations as always.
Vodafone Spokesperson said: "We have always offered great value to our customers, backed by excellent customer service, a nationwide presence, and Vodafone SuperNetTM - our best network ever. We will continue to do so for our hundreds of million customers across the country."
Existing operators under the aegis of Cellular Operators Association of India have been locked in a battle with Reliance Jio over providing points of interconnect.
Telecom analysts said Reliance Jio has delivered a knockout punch on pricing of voice and data tariffs.
"No doubt tariff plans for voice and data is going to be game changer for telecom industry... Though, topline from telecom business will start trickling in; however big concern arises on timelines of achieving operating break-even point in context of tariff policy deployed," said Dharmesh Kant, Head - Retail Research, Motilal Oswal Securities.

In This Article
We combed through thousands of insurance quotes on Compare.com, and we've determined that, on average, Audi S8 car insurance prices run around $220 a month. But how does that stack up to other similar cars out there on the market?
|Current Base Price||$115,900|
|Trim Levels||PLUS QUATTRO|
|Average Insurance Premium||$220/mo.|
|Cheapest Insurance Company||Commonwealth Casualty|
How Much is Car Insurance for an Audi S8?
|Vehicle||Liability Only||Full Coverage|
|All Audi Models||$80||$190|
|Average Insurance Premium||$81||$169|
You'll see in the table above that Audi S8 insurance rates are higher than average. S8 drivers generally pay about $255 monthly for full coverage, which has comprehensive and collision coverages in addition to liability, and about $77 per month for liability only insurance (our guide, "State Minimum vs. Full Coverage", can provide more details on the difference between these types of insurance).
Comparing it to other models, the S8 is more expensive, with prices around 34% higher than the other vehicle types offered by Audi. But compared to other vehicles of a similar body style, S8 coverage runs close to average, with liability insurance premiums $6 cheaper than other cars and full coverage insurance prices coming in $78 higher.
When compared to all vehicles, regardless of model, make, or body style, the S8 is slightly cheaper for liability only auto insurance, but full coverage rates are more expensive on average.
Who has the Cheapest Car Insurance for an Audi S8?
|Insurance Company||Average Monthly Premium|
Searching for a car insurance policy for your Audi S8? You may be wondering which company offers the lowest premiums. While there will never be one carrier that offers the lowest premiums for everyone, the cheapest average rates for liability only insurance are as little as $23 monthly from Commonwealth Casualty. With car insurance as cheap as just $25 a month, Mercury is the next most affordable insurance company.
Completing the top 5 companies are Elephant, Clearcover, and StateAuto. But just because these five carriers offer the lowest average rates doesn't necessarily mean they'll be the cheapest for you.
Auto insurance companies use many different factors and complex formulas to calculate rates. By pulling quotes from several auto insurance carriers at once, you can be confident you're finding the cheapest rate.
What Factors Affect Car Insurance Rates for an Audi S8?
There are a whole bunch of factors that car insurance companies reference to decide how much they charge you for insurance -- and every carrier uses a different algorithm, so there's not one company that's the lowest for each S8 owner.
The sections below show quite a few things auto insurance carriers use to calculate rates:
|Vehicle Age||Average Monthly Premium|
|Less than 1 Year||$41|
|15 Years or Older||$51|
Audi has been making the S8 for quite some time, so the car's age may play a role in how much you'll pay for car insurance. Generally, older cars will be cheaper to insure because they're worth less than newer models, and as time goes on and S8s begin to depreciate, insurance costs will gradually decrease.
A new Audi S8 model hasn't been added to the market for over 5 years, so there isn't data to analyze this trend. However, as you can see in the table above, the most expensive Audi S8s to insure are those that are 11 to 14 years old, while the cheapest models are S8s that are 2 to 3 years old, on average.
|Age||Average Monthly Premium|
Age plays a big role in how much you pay for insurance. As you can see above, those who have more experience on the road pay less compared to younger S8 drivers. Audi S8 drivers 18 to 24 actually pay over three times as much as those 25 or older.
Car insurance prices continue to go down as you get older, with drivers aged 35-44 making up the cheapest age group for the S8.
|Gender||Average Monthly Premium|
Because women are less likely to get speeding tickets and get into accidents, they have a lower chance of filing a claim with insurance. So, insurance companies will often charge women less than men. The Audi S8 is no different, and women pay about 22% less than men per month for auto insurance.
Where You Live
|State||Average Monthly Premium|
You might think it's common sense that variables like how old you are and what vehicle you drive play a role in your insurance prices, but did you know that where you live is equally important? Because car insurance is regulated at the state level, premiums can fluctuate quite a bit from state to state.
For example, the average Audi S8 driver from New York pays around $55 monthly for liability coverage, while the same owner in California will pay $13 less than that price, on average.
Audi S8 Car Insurance Discounts
Whatever what state you call home, what vehicle you drive, or how old you are, using as many discounts as possible when it comes to your insurance is always a good idea when shopping around for a policy.
While no two auto insurance carriers offer the same exact discounts, there are a few different ones that you'll find with most companies. These include discounts like:
- Multi-policy discounts for using the same insurance carrier for both your home and car insurance
- Vehicle safety discounts for having a vehicle with higher safety ratings or one with certain safety features (like anti-lock brakes or air bags)
- Pay-in-full discounts for drivers who agree to pay their entire policy premium up front, rather than in monthly installments
- Multi-car discounts for having several vehicles on your auto policy
While discounts are always a good way to save money on your car insurance, sometimes, it's actually your driving record and insurance profile that get you the most affordable rates.
Of course, you can't control every single aspect of your insurance profile (like some of the variables we mentioned above), but there is quite a bit that you can control. Below are just a few of the ones you can use in your favor when it comes to saving money:
Your Driving Record
|Infractions||Average Monthly Premium|
|Multiple Accidents||Not Enough Data|
|1 Ticket||Not Enough Data|
You've no doubt heard ads from car insurance carriers posting big discounts for responsible drivers. It shouldn't come as a surprise that your auto insurance rates will increase if you get into a collision or get speeding tickets. But how much will they cost you?
As you can see, accidents will usually cost S8 drivers more than tickets, but both will result in higher than normal rates. The rates only get higher the more accidents you have or tickets you get.
How Much You Drive
|Annual Mileage||Average Monthly Premium|
The total distance you drive each year plays a role when it comes to your insurance prices. Drivers who are on the roads less are less likely to get into accidents, so they'll usually end up spending less on auto insurance.
If you don't drive much because you work from home or have a second vehicle, you might consider choosing a usage-based or pay-per-mile car insurance policy. With these kinds of policies, you pay a small monthly amount, and your final monthly bill is calculated based on the number of miles you drove.
How Do Audi S8s Compare to Other Vehicles?
If you're considering making an Audi S8 your next vehicle, it can pay off to do your due diligence. Insurance is just one cost that comes with buying a new car, but it's definitely one that's worth taking into consideration.
Review the table below to see how the Audi S8 stacks up:
|Audi S8||National Average|
|Full Coverage Insurance||$169||-|
|Average Annual Mileage||11,617||7,523|
Full coverage insurance for an Audi S8 is, while liability only coverage is per month.
When it comes to usage, Audi S8 drivers are much lower than the national average in annual miles driven, with 11,617 miles for all vehicles per year compared to the S8's 7,523 each year.
Audi S8 Car Insurance Costs by Model Year
We've walked through many of the factors that can affect how much you might pay for auto insurance. If you're considering buying a new vehicle and the S8 is one you're thinking about, having a good idea of exactly how much you'll pay can be extremely helpful as you weigh your options.

Many of them (like "multi-vehicle discounts" and "pay-in-full discounts") are based less on your Audi S8 and more on you, but if your S8 has safety features like anti-lock brakes, anti-theft systems, airbags, and other features, it may be eligible for certain discounts.

Lucio Fulci is widely known to fans of Italian horror as the godfather of gore. Mr. Fulci’s films are still every bit as relevant and influential today as they were upon their initial release. His features are dark with a surreal narrative style that still feels imaginative and different. Regardless of what fans think of his later work, Lucio Fulci deserves to be celebrated. And to do just that, we are showcasing ten of the director’s most influential movies.
The Black Cat (1981)
Compared to Lucio Fulci’s other films this one feels the least familiar. There is gore on display but it’s very limited. It’s a great version of the Edgar Allan Poe tale on which it was based and has undoubtedly influenced filmmakers in the wake of its 1981 release.
This film is also a bit different from Fulci’s catalogue. It focuses on a psychopath serial killer who slices people in NYC and quacks like a duck while doing so. Although this film isn’t typical Fulci fare, this killing scenes are still true to the director’s signature style, with women being gutted, a violent sexual act being committed with a bottle, and so much more! The New York Ripper undoubtedly influenced the slasher pictures that came out in its wake.
Manhattan Baby (1982)
Although this one doesn’t have as much gore as some of Fulci’s other films, it features a great storyline with terrific atmosphere. What I love about this film is that the violence is delivered in a subtle way which only serves to compliment the dreamlike atmosphere and mesmerizing cinematography featured within. Many filmmakers have tried to recreate the aesthetic and feel of this film but very few have even come close.
City of the Living Dead (1980)
Calling all gore lovers! City of the Living Dead features about as much violence as you’re apt to see from a film released in 1980! There’s plenty of absurd yet standout moments of gore in this film. And it proved to be a major influence for future generations of filmmakers.
Although this one isn’t a proper horror film, it is a gritty crime/action film with plenty of violence. With Fulci’s knack for violence and gore, he delivers a series of memorable scenes in this film that continue to influence the likes of directors such as Quentin Tarantino. One of my favorite scenes involves a woman’s face being scalded off with a blow torch.
House by the Cemetery (1981)
This one is the final installment in Fulci’s ‘Gates of Hell’ trilogy. In this haunted house feature there’s a hideous monster, plenty of violence and a series of images you’ll never be able to unsee. Plus there’s an annoying kid named Bob who hears voices and has an awful haircut. You’re sure to have a blast with this one! Director Ted Geoghegan cites this as a major influence in his critically acclaimed feature film directorial debut We are Still Here.
A Lizard in a Woman’s Skin (1971)
This film is a gory giallo that’s colorful and intense! Like any good giallo, it’s filled with red herrings and misdirects. When it comes to this one Mr. Fulci doesn’t hold back with the gore. Not to mention, it’s incredibly well shot. The influences of the gialli of the 1970s can be seen in numerous ’80s slashers, like Happy Birthday to Me and My Bloody Valentine.
Don’t Torture a Duckling (1972)
Lucio Fulci is an extremely diverse director and Don’t Torture a Duckling is a testament to just how diverse he is. It is a suspenseful yet horrific giallo, which focuses on a witch who may be murdering young boys. This film was an early indicator of just how much gore we would see in Fulci’s later efforts and it remains of of the single most influential gialli of all time, inspiring fellow Italian filmmakers, as well as American directors in the next decade.
Zombie is an awesome film with with a great tagline “We are going to eat you!” This is definitely a must see for fans of the undead. This film has it all: An excellent storyline, ample gore, and memorable violence that stays with you forever. The film is full of memorable gore scenes that are imitated to this day. It also has one of the best and most influential horror soundtracks in history.
The Beyond (1981)
This film is a gore-infused classic with plenty of supernatural activity and more blood than you’ll even know what to do with. The Beyond is full of tension and amazing atmosphere. There’s death by acid, carnivorous tarantulas (that sound like cereal being poured into a bowl), exploding heads, and liquifying bodies. Because of The Beyond, I am hesitant to buy a house, for fear that fear that it may be built atop a portal to hell. This is another title that Tarantino has cited as an influence from his formative years.


Russian Space Agency Plans to Stop Using ISS by 2028, Create National Space Station
14:27 GMT 31.07.2021 (Updated: 14:33 GMT 31.07.2021)
MOSCOW (Sputnik) - Russia is planning to stop using the International Space Station by 2028 and create a national space station instead given risks posed by ISS worn-out equipment, state space agency Roscosmos said on Saturday.
The corporation's Scientific and Technical Council held a meeting earlier in the day.
29 July 2021, 17:46 GMT
"After reviewing the current state of the Russian section of the ISS, the council of chief designers has noted that due to the significant part of the station's equipment getting old, further use of the Russian section of the ISS after 2024 poses additional risks," Roscosmos said in a statement.
The Scientific and Technical Council recommended laying groundwork for construction of a new national space station "in order to avoid risks related to the technical condition of the Russian section of the ISS, and [due to] the plans to end its use by 2028," Roscosmos added.

Julia Roberts doesn’t do red carpets as much as a lot of her cohort, but when she does, we are always reminded that she is one of the few completely effortless movie stars left. Which isn’t to say that she didn’t have entire teams of people helping to put this look together and get her standing upright on a red carpet looking fine, but she’s one of the few who have that old-school quality that makes it seem like she looks this way all the time. Granted, that comes down at least partially to the fact that her red carpet style sticks to a very straight-and-narrow path.
Your lady loves herself a B&W look with a tuxedo jacket over it. That’s been her go-to for nearly twenty years at this point. This is a cute look and we’re assuming the little messages and dates are all family related. She got married to Danny Moder in 2002 and her son Henry was born in 2007, following her twins Hazel and Phinnaeus, so it looks like the whole fam is being represented here. It’s cute, if a little chalkboard-y, although we asuume that’s the point. More to the point, she looks completely comfortable and confident in it, which are the two qualities she appears to value most in her red carpet style. We’ll never see her working the latest trend or trying to be something she’s not on the red carpet, but when she lands on a look like this one, we know she’s in her sweet spot.
