New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) on Tuesday threatened to sue Donald Trump if the president orders states to lift their stay-at-home orders too early and rushes to reopen the economy before the COVID-19 pandemic safely subsides.
“If he ordered me to reopen in a way that would endanger the public health of the people of my state, I wouldn’t do it,” Cuomo said on CNN. “And we would have a constitutional challenge between the state and the federal government, and that would go into the courts. And that would be the worst possible thing he could do at this moment, would be to act dictatorial and to act in a partisan, divisive way.”
.@NYGovCuomo: “If [Trump] ordered me to reopen in a way that would endanger the public health of the people of my state, I wouldn’t do it.”
At his daily press briefing Monday, Cuomo — who leads the state that has long been the epicenter of the coronavirus pandemic in the U.S. — said he was cautiously optimistic “the worst is over,” but warned that lifting restrictions too early could set back any progress already made. While most indicators show a possible flattening of the curve of COVID-19 infections, hospitalizations are still at about 2,000 per day. And on Monday, the state officially crossed 10,000 deaths — not including many deaths that have gone uncounted.
“I have 10,000 deaths in my state,” Cuomo said Tuesday. “This virus didn’t kill Democrats or Republicans — it killed Americans, and it killed New Yorkers, and I’m not going to go down a political road.”
Trump responded in a tweet Tuesday, accusing Cuomo of “begging for everything,” and falsely claiming “I got it all done for him, and everyone else.”
“Now he seems to want Independence! That won’t happen!” Trump tweeted. “Cuomo’s been calling daily, even hourly, begging for everything, most of which should have been the state’s responsibility, such as new hospitals, beds, ventilators, etc. I got it all done for him, and everyone else, and now he seems to want Independence! That won’t happen!”

In fact, Trump’s administration has consistently failed to send states their full requests for ventilators and other medical supplies, even sometimes interfering with their own purchasing. But it has sent the full request to Florida, a state led by Trump ally Gov. Ron DeSantis (R).
After widespread evidence Trump and the federal government botched the U.S. response to the pandemic, governors have largely led the response, often in a collaborative way. That became more formalized Monday, when two groups of governors, in the Northeast and on the West Coast, announced joint task forces to develop a plan to reopen their states together.
Joining forces with the governors of Connecticut, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Rhode Island and Massachusetts, Cuomo has frequently argued that their economies and travel are intertwined, as many people live and work among the neighboring states.
Later Monday, Trump falsely declared his “total” authority and lashed out when reporters pointed out that was not the case. When asked if he had asked the governors if they agreed he had the authority to order them to reopen their states, he said, “I haven’t asked anybody, because I don’t have to,” before refusing to answer any more questions about the issue.

You can now order a one-time printing of the prologue in it's entirety starting today!!! It's exciting to be able to pull this together so nicely, but as it turns out doing super small orders on comic books is a bit of a pain, So I'll have to print them on order!
The cost for an issue (signed too no less!) will be
10.00 USD +2.00 SHIPPING
(Shipping outside the US may cost more shipping, I havn't deduced it quite yet)
I'll be accepting payment via Paypal online, or check by mail (this will delay the shipping process though, so Paypal is the easiest way)
I'll be taking this round-up of printing orders until
Sunday, Feb 28th
After that point, I shall send out the invoices via paypal and send out the printing order. Upon recieving those printed copies, I will send them out to the recipients ASAP (providing payment was completed!)
SO (if) you want to order-
All you gotta do is shoot me a Note/Private Message, or Email giving me your FULL Name, e-mail address (only to be used for the invoice I promise), and shipping address so that I can mark you down and add you to the list!
All in all it should be a fairly seamless process resulting in about a 2 week shipping time, I know I wish it was faster too XU
Since this is a webcomic, OBVIOUSLY you wont HAVE to get the printed copy to enjoy everything Viva/Muerte, this is just a little nice collectible for the people who truly dig it and want to support it >u< I thank each and everyone of you for reading so far and hope you continue to do so in the time to come!

In a recent study entitled “Dienogest reduces HSD17β1 expression and activity in endometriosis,” the authors investigated the mechanism of action of Dienogest, an oral synthetic progestin (synthetic progestogens that have progestogenic effects similar to those of progesterone) in alleviating endometrioses associated symptoms. They found that Dienogest inhibits key enzymes of the metabolism of estrogens, inhibiting the abnormal production of these hormones and thus exerting a therapeutical effect in endometriosis. The study was published in the Journal of Endocrinology.
Endometriosis is characterized abnormal growth of endometrial tissue outside the uterine cavity (the endometrium is the inner mucous membrane of the mammalian uterus) and is associated with pelvic pain, dysmenorrhea, dyspareunia and infertility. Endometriosis is dependent on the hormone estrogen — this hormone induces the growth of the endometrial lesions — and this is why menopause women experience a marked relief of endometriosis symptoms.
While there is no permanent cure for endometriosis, dienogest, a synthetic progestin that produces similar effects to those of the natural female hormone progesterone, is widely used to treat endometriosis and was reported to ameliorate endometriosis-associated pelvic pain.
Dienogest reduces endometriotic lesions through several biological mechanisms, including reducing the expression of inflammatory factors. Researchers investigated how dienogest impacts the estrogen hormone metabolism, specifically on important enzymes of this pathway. To this end, they treated stromal cells derived from ovarian endometrioma a form of endometriosis localized in the ovaries), endometrium with endometriosis (EE), and normal endometrium without endometriosis with dienogest. The samples were obtained from surgeries performed on 23 patients with ovarian endometriomas and their homologous endometrium, and from 19 normal endometria without endometriosis. They analyzed the expression of several key enzymes in the estrogen metabolic pathway, including aromatase, 17b-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase 1 (HSD17b1), HSD17b2, HSD17b7, HSD17b12, steroid sulfatase (STS), and estrogen sulfotransferase (EST).
The team found that dienogest treatment inhibits the expression and activity of HSD17b1 in endometriosis. As a result, since it was previously reported that dienogest inhibits the enzyme aromatase in endometriosis, authors suggest that it also inhibits another key enzyme that regulates estrogen production. Dienogest therefore inhibits the abnormal estrogen production, leading to a therapeutic effect and symptom relief in endometriosis.

James Murdoch steps down from News International to focus on TV
James Murdoch, deputy chief operating officer of News Corporation, has resigned from as executive chairman role of the group's UK newspaper arm News International today (29 February).
Tom Mockridge, the former Sky Italia boss who replaced Rebekah Brooks as chief executive officer of News International in July, will continue in his role and will report to Chase Carey, president and chief operating officer of News Corporation.
Murdoch has been under pressure from some quarters since the hacking scandal engulfed News International last year and led to the closure of the 168-year-old tabloid the News of the World.
In March last year Murdoch, who also holds the title of chairman and chief executive of News Corp's International operations, added the role of deputy chief operating officer of News Corporation and moved to New York.
Speculation mounted that Murdoch would be stepping back from NI after he resigned from the board of two of its subsidiaries. At the time News Corporation said he would remain as News International chairman.
Rupert Murdoch, chairman and chief executive officer of News Corporation, said: "We are all grateful for James' leadership at News International and across Europe and Asia, where he has made lasting contributions to the group's strategy in paid digital content and its efforts to improve and enhance governance programs.
"He has demonstrated leadership and continues to create great value at Star TV, Sky Deutschland, Sky Italia, and BSkyB.
"Now that he has moved to New York, James will continue to assume a variety of essential corporate leadership mandates, with particular focus on important pay-TV businesses and broader international operations."
News International surprised the market earlier this month when it announced The Sun would become a seven day operation. Rupert Murdoch claimed in a tweet on Monday (27 February) that the first Sunday issue of The Sun had sold 3.26 million copies.
Today, Murdoch said: "With the successful launch of The Sun on Sunday and new business practices in place across all titles, News International is now in a strong position to build on its successes in the future.
"As deputy chief operating officer, I look forward to expanding my commitment to News Corporation’s international television businesses and other key initiatives across the company."

Davidson Film Club Presents “Cold War”
The Davidson Film Club is pleased to invite you to a discussion of the Polish masterpiece Cold War, nominated for three Oscars and three BAFTA awards, on Saturday, January 22, at 7:00 p.m. on Zoom.
“Heart-thumping: the passion on display is of all sorts, a steady flame against the cold.” Matthew Lickona, San Diego Reader
Directed by Pawel Pawlikowski
Poland (2018, 1h29)
In Polish with English subtitles
*The Davidson Film Club will remain virtual in January and until further notice owing to the current surge in COVID cases brought on by the Omicron variant. We are just as eager as you are to return to the Armour Street Theatre as soon as we feel it is safe again!
Discussion will be led by Dr. Peter Thorsheim, Vice-President of the Davidson Film Club, Prof. of History at UNC-Charlotte, and a Cold War scholar.
Cold War may be obtained from Netflix by mail (subscribers) or streamed on Amazon Prime Video (subscribers also). Prime Video offers a 30-day free trial, so Cold War may be watched on Prime Video and the subscription kept, if you so desire, or cancelled before the end of the free trial period:
There is no membership fee for this program, only, at most, the modest cost of the on-line film rental that yields no revenue to the Davidson Film Club.
A passionate love story between two people of different backgrounds and temperaments, who are fatefully mismatched and yet condemned to each other. Set against the background of the Cold War in 1950s Poland, Berlin, Yugoslavia and Paris, it’s the tale of a couple separated by politics, character flaws and unfortunate twists of fate – an impossible love story in impossible times.
Rotten Tomatoes Tomatometer 92%!
Nominated for 3 Oscars and 3 BAFTA (British Oscars) Awards for Best Director, Best Film not in English, and Best Cinematography. 35 wins and 104 nominations in all including multiple Best Director, Best Film, Best First Feature, Best Screenplay, Best Actress, Best Actor, and Best Actor in a Supporting Role.
- “With a brilliantly stark visual aesthetic to match its lean narrative, Cold War doesn’t waste a moment of its brief running time — and doesn’t skimp on its bittersweet emotional impact.” Rotten Tomatoes Critics Consensus
- “Cold War captivates and transcends barriers of language and culture. It’s a gorgeous tale as rocky as it is romantic.” Adam Graham, Detroit News
- “What struck home the most forcefully for me in Cold War is its depiction, insidious and unrelenting, of how artists under communism suffered for their art. At its best, the film is like a bulletin from a benighted world.” Peter Rainer, Christian Science Monitor
- “Communist Poland in the 1950s is a frigid land of slippery political sands in director Pawel Pawlikowski’s graceful, gorgeously retro, black-and-white dedication to his parents.” Andiee Paviour, Nobody’s Reading This But Me
- “What the film is doing is recognizing their indelible life force and originality; it’s a cri de cœur hurled toward an increasingly hidebound and emotionally stunted era of Western civilization.” Andrea Gronvall, Chicago Reader
- “Zula and Wiktor age as the years pass, not only in body and attire, but in their very souls, becoming weighed down by political chess games they’ve been forced to become a part of.” Siddhant Adlakha, Slashfilm
Our updated website at www.davidsonfilmclub.com features the whole up-coming series (January-June 2022) and film descriptions. Have you Bookmarked it?
We are a non-profit, tax-exempt organization run by volunteers that only exists to bring you fine international fiction films and engage in stimulating discussion about them. Hope to see many of you on Zoom on Saturday, Jan. 22, for the discussion of this hard-hitting, heart-rending film!
President, Davidson Film Club

Happy 2nd Birthday to our Bake-Along!
We bake-along about twice a month. One is from a chosen recipe and the other one is based on a theme. At the beginning, it was just the three of us that baked along. Soon after we started blog hopping, we have multiple entries now and knew lots of friends through our bake-alongs.
For our second Bake-Along anniversary, we are baking celebration cupcakes. Although cupcakes seems common and easy to bake, there seems too many recipes to choose and I don't really know which is the best one to bake. And I google the word, "best vanilla cupcake" and this is what I found.
This ultimate vanilla cupcake recipe by the Cupcake Project.com is the first hit that I found with my Google inquiry. Stef, the author of Cupcake Project.com has a team of 50 test bakers who are known as the Vanilla Cupcake Recipe Cupcake Project Explorers. They had baked and helped Stef to seek for the most perfect vanilla cupcake recipe and finally concluded that this recipe is the one that has the most positive feedback.
There is no way that 50 test bakers can be wrong! - Knowing these makes me feel silly if I don't give this recipe a try...
Instead of creaming butter and sugar first for the typical cake mixing methods, this recipe adopts an alternative "Reverse Creaming" method (which is also mentioned in this cake recipe by America's Test Kitchen). All the dry ingredients are first well mixed with butter and all are mixed together with the combined wet ingredients. Accordingly to what I have gathered from the reviews of this method, the most critical thing to know is that all the ingredients have to be at room temperature so that I won't have to worry for any curdly looking stuff.
Besides seeking for an ultimate cupcake recipe, I'm also seeking for a buttercream recipe which is moderately creamy and contains no eggs and least amount of added fat. As I was looking online for reduced fat version of vanilla buttercream, I found these two reasonable good recipes from Taste of Home at here and here using milk and more icing sugar to substitute the missing butter.
With both interesting cupcake and frosting recipes to try, I'm excited baking these cupcakes. Is this going to my best and ultimate vanilla cupcakes? Let's see...
|Happy 2nd Bake-Along anniversary... with ultimate vanilla cupcakes?|
|Making the batter using the reverse-creaming method|
|These cooked cupcakes look pale and not golden brown at all.|
|Making my fat-reduced vanilla frosting|
|Half amount of frosting recipe can only frost THREE cupcakes!!!|
|Two are smiley and one hold the candle - Happy Birthday Bake-along!|
|Ultimate vanilla cupcakes? Now take a closer look...|
Zoe's "Seriously serious" Cupcake Assessments:
Cupcake recipe - Ultimate Vanilla Cupcake from Cupcake Project.com
Method: 10/10. Easy with no curdling stuff to worry if everything used is in room temperature
Texture: 10/10. Light and moist! Smooth and slightly buttery! Excellent!
Taste: 8/10. It has a slight egg-y smell at initial inspection but can't detect the smell at all when I ate the cakes. It tastes really good with a good balance of saltiness and sweetness. Being extra critical, I'm not giving it a perfect mark mainly for the fact that it doesn't and wouldn't brown at all.
Frosting recipe - Vanilla Frosting from Taste of Home
Method: 5/10. Easy like most typical buttercream method but difficult to know the most ideal consistency to archive. The recipe says that it yields 16 servings but I can only frost 3 cupcakes with half amount of the recipe.
Texture: 4/10. Creamy but mostly sugary. Not very stable and doesn't stay in shapes.
Taste: 2/10. Very sweet! Recommend to ice cupcakes with just a thin layer of this frosting... No wonder this recipe can yield 16 servings. Not recommended to use for tall frosting.
Ultimate vanilla cupcakes? I like the cupcakes but not the reduced-fat buttercream. I prefer to stick my usual buttercream recipe which is always creamy and nice!
Disappointed? - I must say a little... but no worries at all. I have another interesting cupcake recipe to try. So stay tune for the my next celebration cupcake post. Here are the recipes that I have used to bake our celebration cupcakes.
(with my note and modification in blue)
Ultimate Vanilla Cupcake from Cupcake Project.com
Yield: 16 cupcakes
1 cup (225g) granulated sugar
1 vanilla bean
(used 1 for half amount of the recipe)
1 3/4 cups (175g) cake flour, not self-rising
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
(replaced with extra baking powder)
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 cup (57g) unsalted butter, room temperature
2 large eggs, room temperature
1/3 cup (75g) full-fat sour cream
1/4 cup canola oil or vegetable oil (60 ml)
(I used rice bran oil)
1 tbsp vanilla extract
(I didn't add this)
2/3 cup (160 ml) whole milk
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C or 160°C fan forced).
In a small bowl, combine sugar and seeds from the vanilla bean.
Using the back of a spoon, move around the bowl and apply pressure to break up any clumps of seeds and to better infuse the vanilla flavor into the sugar. Set aside.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl or bowl of a stand mixer, mix together cake flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add the vanilla bean sugar and mix until well combined.
Add butter and mix on medium-low speed for three minutes. Because there is so little butter, you'll end up with a very fine crumb texture.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, sour cream, oil, and vanilla extract until smooth. Add the egg mixture to the flour mixture and beat on medium speed until just combined.
Slowly add milk and mix on low speed until just combined. The batter will be liquid. (Don't worry, you didn't do anything wrong. It's supposed to be that way.)
Fill cupcake liners just over 1/2 full.
Bake for 14 mins and then test to see with cake tester if they are done. The cupcakes should appear white with specks of vanilla bean. They should not turn golden brown. If they are not done, test again in two minutes. If they are still not done, test again in another two mins.
When the cupcakes are done, remove them immediately from the tins and leave them on a cooling rack to cool.
Note: Using half amount of the recipe, I have 9 cupcakes at 160°C fan forced for 17 mins.
Vanilla Frosting from Taste of Home
Yield: 1 cups for about 16 servings
2 cups confectioners' sugar
2 tbsp butter, softened
2 tbsp milk
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
(replaced with vanilla paste)
In a bowl, combine the sugar, butter, milk and vanilla. Beat on medium speed until smooth and fluffy.
Frost the cupcakes with this frosting.
Note: Using half of both recipes, I have baked 8 vanilla cupcakes and managed to frost only 3 cupcakes with vanilla frosting. I have decorated them with rolled and cut fondants and transformed them into Happy Ultimate Vanilla Cupcakes! - LOL!
Please support me and like me at Facebook...
Please note that the linky tool for bake-along is no longer available.

5 business benefits of fibre connectivity
Fibre is finally being rolled out across the UK, and for many people it can’t come soon enough. The improvement over traditional copper cables is almost immeasurable, with download and upload speeds ten times higher in some cases. This is not to mention the improvements in reliability over distances, reducing the degradation of internet speeds the further you are from the exchange.
For businesses, however, a three or four-year wait may be three or four years too long. The business benefits of fibre optic broadband are such that missing out means putting yourself at a competitive disadvantage. Here are five of the biggest benefits of fibre connectivity, from the increasing usefulness of faster downloads, to the surprising benefits for remote working.
The one benefit of fibre optic broadband that everyone knows is that it’s faster. In layman’s terms, copper cables can only carry so many signals at once, are prone to electrical interference, and see reduced speeds over long distances. Fibre optic cables by contrast use infrared light to transmit data, which makes them immune to electromagnetic interference. Light also travels faster, and can carry more data simultaneously, resulting in higher speeds and bandwidth (more on that below).
Statistics show that organisations with a slow internet connection lose around one week per year in employee productivity. Long loading times can seem like a small issue, but this adds up to a significant time loss over a one-year period. This is particularly true of businesses who routinely upload large files such as videos or images, as upload speeds are magnitudes worse on a copper line than they are on a fibre optic one. This can lead to hours-long uploads that simultaneously reduce speeds for everyone else in the workplace.
If your organisation has a high demand for data, it’s very easy to hit the threshold of your broadband’s bandwidth. While fibre optic options aren’t always unlimited, the available bandwidth is much higher. With SotaConnect, for example, deploying our core network allows us to offer bandwidth of 10Gb/s and beyond, equating to roughly 30 mins of 4K video in a single second. This allows multiple people on the same line to perform data hungry tasks without slowing things down for everyone else.
For businesses with a high need for data transmission, it’s relatively easy to “hit the cap” on your cable internet bandwidth. While fibre-optic internet for business is not truly unlimited, the bandwidth availability is significantly higher, and download and upload speeds do not decrease as bandwidth demands increase. What’s more, download and upload speeds are much more equivalent, meaning that uploading a video won’t throttle your speeds for minutes or hours at a time.
You wouldn’t think that the kind of cable you use for your internet connection would affect its security. Yet uncommon as it is, copper is susceptible to attackers. Copper lines can be ‘tapped’ anywhere along their route in order to intercept the signal, exactly as someone might tap a phone line to listen in on calls. This presents a potential threat to any business transmitting sensitive information, particularly without end-to-end encryption.
Upgrading to fibre optic connectivity won’t mitigate all of your security risks, and you still need to protect against hackers and other cyber criminals, who’ll try to attack your systems or convince you to download dodgy files. But thanks to using infrared light rather than an easily diverted signal, fibre is near impossible to tap. This makes it immediately more secure than copper, providing another neat benefit for security-conscious businesses.
4. Cost savings
Installing fibre-to-the-premises (FTTP) naturally incurs an upfront cost, as well as the ongoing price of fibre broadband. However, it can also bring with it cost savings, as well as new opportunities. Faster speeds and greater bandwidth both mean less time wasted waiting for things to upload or download. They also allow your business to harness technologies such as cloud computing, managed VoIP, and video conferencing, without worrying about interruptions.
Internet connectivity is vital to most businesses, and bandwidth requirements continue to increase as video, audio and photos increase in definition and size. If you use the internet to communicate with customers, use software or post to social media, a fibre optic connection is likely to improve the quality and reliability of many business services, helping to gain new business and saving money through lost time.
We’ve already mentioned that fibre optic cables are less prone to interference than copper, which is already a point in the reliability column. This is particularly noticeable during poor weather, where fibre holds up even as copper connections stutter. But fibre optic cables are generally more resilient than copper – a famously soft material that can be fairly easily damaged, and may degrade over time.
One of the biggest reasons for variable internet speeds within the same locality is the condition of copper cables, with some old cables leading to far lower speeds and reliability. The much larger bandwidth of fibre connections also ensures that multiple users can use data heavy applications at the same time, without causing issues such as stuttering or artifacting videos. You also won’t struggle at peak times of heavy internet traffic, such as during sports tournaments, when matches might be streaming during working hours.
Fibre connectivity is a financial investment in the future of your business, improving productivity and providing long term cost savings. To learn more about the benefits of fibre optic connectivity for your business or to simply enquire, contact our team today.

Volkswagen Bus History & StoryHere's the first minivan created on earth....? Ha.. ha.. of course not... if it's a microbus absolutely yes.
The Volkswagen bus is a big box on the Beetle chassis. They have designed so strong and made it legend till today. The original design of the first generation was created in 1949, it's the icon for this vehicle model.
After the beetle's successes on the market and Volkswagen was healthy enough to create the second model, it was the Bus type, known as the Type 2. And for note this bus was developed without input from Ferdinand Porsche who designed the original Beetle, so who did it?
Let's take a look historical development of the Volkswagen bus design.

|1949 Type 2 Transporter Cargo (Prototype) |
1100cc Engine with air-cooled same like engine the Beetle. Early versions had 25 horsepower. Launched to the market 8 th March 1950
|1950-1960 Type 2 Kombi |
1950-1960 same base powered by a 1100cc Engine had 25 horsepower. 1951 for the first-time passenger microbus relieve 2 variants, Kombi and Deluxe to the market.
|1960-1967 Type 2 Microbus |
During this period Volkswagen Bus gained new features and more power.
From 1950 until 1967 no design changes. Minor design changes only in the lights indicator on the front and rear lights on the back, bumper, mirror, and then many variations on the passenger door and the window.
1966 and 1967 would be the golden years for the split window Type 2 These were truly the best years from a modern sense for the old Splitty
Second Generation (T2)
|1968-1972 Early Bay (T2A) |
Totally design changes but still, on the same base, have a rear engine and same beetle chassis, but more larger, sleeker, and more powerful than its predecessor.
Gone was the 11, 13, 15, 21, and 23 window design, In its place was a body with big and long windows on the front, rear, and either side. And no more the split window.
Passenger versions dumped the double doors, and replace them with a single right-side sliding door. The face has changed, the new bus had a flatter brow with less character but stronger bumpers and better headlamps.
The second-generation VW Bus retained an upright driving position but gained some front crush space for better crash protection.
All second-generation Type 2 models used the latest Beetle's 1600cc engine, 57 horsepower at 4400 rpm of torque at 3000. Horsepower was up over the first generation, but so was curb weight, so the second-generation Volkswagen Bus was not faster than the last of the first-generation 1967s. From 0-60 mph still took about 37 seconds and the top speed remained at 65 mph.
| 1973-1979 Late Bay (T2B) |
There are two different styles of this generation, models before 1973 are often called the Early Bay (T2A), while models after 1972 are called the Late Bay (T2B), and both are known as Bay window models.
Third Generation (T3)
|The Third Generation T3 1980-1992 |
Larger and heavier come with more squared and less rounded styling. Why do I call the third generation the last generation? Because this generation is still on the same base, same layout with a rear engine and rear-wheel drive so the T3 was the final generation of rear-engined Volkswagens.
Fourth Generation (T4)
|The New Generation T4 1993-2003 |
This new generation has a new layout, front-engine, and front-wheel drive configuration.
Fifth Generation (T5)
|The Current Generation T5 2004-present |
The most pupolar name is Multivans / Caravelle. The fifth generation of the VW Transporter hit the market in Europe late in 2003. It is a direct successor to the T4 in its looks and utility value.
Volkswagen has cost problems, T5 Transporter is not available in the United States and Canada in any form. Instead, Volkswagen offers the Volkswagen Routan, a passenger minivan based on Chrysler LLC's Dodge Caravan, but T5 Transporter is still sold under the Eurovan nameplate in Mexico.
+ In Mexico, the Volkswagen T2 Kombi and Panel were produced from 1970 to 1994.
+ Volkswagen has factories in Brazil and he's still make and producing T2 (VW Kombi) so far, until right now ^_^. (Update)
+ South African production of the T3 continued, for regional market only, until 2002.
+ And I am still waiting for new Volkswagen Microbus at 2014-2015, and I hope this not rumors.

Step 1: Choose the right reaming tool
Before you can start reaming a hole, it’s essential to choose the right reaming tool for the job. There are various types of reamers available, including hand reamers, machine reamers, and adjustable reamers. Each type of reamer is designed for specific applications, so it’s crucial to select the one that best suits your needs.
Step 2: Secure the workpiece
Once you have the right reaming tool, the next step is to secure the workpiece. This is important because it ensures the hole remains stable while you’re reaming. There are different methods you can use to secure the workpiece, depending on its size and shape. For smaller workpieces, you can use a vise or clamps to hold it in place. For larger pieces, you may need to use a workbench or other support structure to keep it stable.
Step 3: Prepare the hole for reaming
Before you begin reaming, it’s crucial to prepare the hole properly. This involves removing any burrs or rough edges that may be present. You can use a deburring tool or a file to remove these imperfections and ensure a smooth surface for the reaming process. Additionally, it’s essential to check the size and alignment of the hole to ensure it is suitable for reaming.
Step 4: Start reaming the hole
Now that you have the right reaming tool and the workpiece is securely in place, it’s time to start reaming the hole. To do this, insert the reamer into the hole and begin turning it clockwise. Apply a steady and even pressure as you turn the reamer, ensuring that it remains aligned with the hole. The reamer will remove material from the hole, gradually enlarging it to the desired size. It’s important to monitor the progress and check the size of the hole periodically to ensure it is being reamed properly.
Step 5: Check the final size and finish
Once you have completed the reaming process, it’s crucial to check the final size and finish of the hole. Use a measuring tool, such as a caliper, to verify that the hole is within the required dimensions. Additionally, inspect the surface of the hole to ensure it is smooth and free of any imperfections. If necessary, you can use a deburring tool or sandpaper to remove any rough edges or burrs that may remain.

The top 12 bloggers come from two categories, individual and institutional, and represent several countries in Africa and the Caribbean. They will be fighting it out to win prizes of up to 3,000 Euro for the institutional category and up to 1,500 Euro for the individual category. This year, there will also be three special awards – best blog for family farming, best female blog and best blog with business potential.
CTA’s Ken Lohento, who coordinates the competition under the ARDYIS programme, commented on the standard of this year’s entries, ‘We were very impressed by both the quantity and quality of the entries we received this year. It really made for some difficult decisions for the jury!’ Three other bloggers received CTA’s encouragements, and will also be invited to attend and cover the conference like the top 12. They come from Central and Southern Africa and the Pacific.
This is the second edition of the YoBloCo Awards. "The importance of this competition cannot be underestimated" says Lohento. "Not alone does it raise awareness of agricultural and rural development issues, raise voices of young agriculturalists or improve their ICT capacities, it has also improved their livelihood opportunities". In a survey carried out just before the announcement of results, about 55% of the young participants indicated that thanks to their participation in the competition, they have got employment or other opportunities that have contributed to their professional growth! The survey targeted the 145 participants who went through the public evaluation process. In total 12,000 valid votes were cast. ‘There is no doubt that the actual nine winners will gain more opportunities after the final results are announced in July through the subsequent promotional activities organised under ARDYIS.
The YoBloCo Awards is organised within the framework of CTA’s ARDYIS project, in collaboration with FARA, Yam-Pukri, CAFAN, AYF, ANAFE, SPC/PAFNET and e-Agriculture. It aims to highlight successes and challenges faced by youth involved in agriculture in urban and rural areas. It encourages the production of information and the use of new information and communication technologies by young farmers’ groups and organisations interested in the youth in agriculture issues, as well as the sharing of information on ACP agriculture.

How can anybody upset with discriminatory housing oppose total school choice?
Judy Schwalbach makes that connection explicit in a report on school choice policies and history in Washington, D.C.:
During the 20th century, federally sanctioned housing “redlining” influenced the composition of neighborhoods in large cities across the country, including Washington, D.C. The term “redlining” came from the color-coded maps developed by the Home Owners Loan Corporation (HOLC) (on which mortgage lending under the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) was partly based). The HOLC limited access to federally backed mortgages for home loans in the red-colored and lowest-grade neighborhoods described as “hazardous.”
Although Congress outlawed discriminatory lending policies in the mid-20th century, prior government practices had created geographic concentrations of lower-income families. Coupled with residential assignment of schooling, which is largely maintained by school districts today, many schools remain racially and economically segregated. Unlike many other metropolitan cities throughout the United States, however, Washington, D.C., has effectively overcome the barriers imposed by geographic school boundaries through open enrollment, a robust charter school sector, and a private school scholarship program. States should follow this lead, and, at the same time, take steps to prohibit school districts from drawing attendance zone boundaries within their borders.
When one hears about the history of redlining policies, lately, it’s usually in the service of a “systemic racism” argument. Basically, overt racism in the past segregated black Americans and deprived them of the twentieth century’s opportunities for the collection of generationally accumulative wealth.
Well, one of the most profound consequences of that development can be found in where and with whom a community’s children are educated. Eliminating that barrier — that marker of segregation — ought to be a no-brainer for advocates who truly wish for the betterment of minority families. Whether they take the opportunity to seek out private schools or stay under the public-sector umbrella, the pathway out of failing schools, which they’ll walk with other children who will acculturate them to the practices and expectations of families that were not subjected to that historical racism, will broaden, even as it forces the schools they are leaving to improve and better demonstrate their value.
The advocates, themselves, may not have thought through the reasons that their suite of policies have collected together, but in this case, strong candidates step forward as explanations. The Democrat Party is defined by its preference for a big-government, centralized-decision-making approach, which necessitates resistance to proposals that distribute resources and authority. Sharpening this bias in education, in particular, is the huge reliance on teachers unions for political donations and activism, which builds a defensive wall against accountability in public schools. Furthermore, long cultivation of identity politics and a grievance industry has made key figures at the intersection of minority communities and the Democrat Party completely reliant on continuing strife between the races.
Advocates who specifically focus on housing have even more reason to break from these partisan chains. After all, if a house in a low-income neighborhood nonetheless provides access to high-quality schools anywhere in the state, in or out of the government school system, its value will increase. Thus, even as the children’s prospect for earning generational wealth increase, their parents’ property will grow in value — probably more rapidly than the market overall, because beginning from a suppressed baseline.

German World Cup winner Toni Kroos completed his long-awaited transfer to Real Madrid on Thursday.
Kroos, 25, has moved from Bayern Munich to Madrid in a deal thought to be worth $30 million. He has signed a six-year deal with the reigning European Champions.
[RELATED: Where will Kroos slot in?]
After being courted by the biggest clubs in the world, Kroos has decided to swap the Allianz Arena for the Santiago Bernabeu after the likes of Chelsea and Manchester United chased his signature.
The German midfielder, who dazzled throughout Die Mannschaft’s World Cup win in Brazil, is currently completing his medical in Madrid and will be unveiled to fans as a Real player later on Thursday. Kroos joined Bayern as 16-year-old from Hansa Rostock and went on to make over 173 Bundesliga appearances.
With Bayern Kroos had plenty of success, winning three Bundesliga titles, three German cups, a Champions League, Uefa Super Cup and Fifa Club World Cup.
Kroos played every game in Germany’s World Cup triumph as he bagged four assists and scored twice in the 7-1 semifinal win over Brazil. At Real he is likely to slot into a central midfield role just behind the deadly three-pronged attack of Karem Benzema, Cristiano Ronaldo and Gareth Bale. His marvelous range of passing, creative flair, deadly set piece deliveries and the ability to finish when given the chance make Kroos the most complete midfielder out there.
Real have got yet another star.

Oriental Bank of Commerce (OBC) on Friday commenced the enrolment process for issuance of unique identification number (Aadhaar) for its customers and staff of the bank. The enrolment process which has begun at the head office will move in phases to the branches across the country, OBC’s Chairman and Managing Director, Mr T.Y. Prabhu, said here today.
There is no specific timeline by when all the 16,000 employees and 1.6 crore customers will be covered, Mr Prabhu noted.
“OBC is the first bank in the banking industry to commence the enrolment process for issuance of UID which includes both demographic and biometric details,” he said after inaugurating the enrolment process at the head office of the bank. Mr Prabhu was the first person in OBC to enrol for a UID.
Mr Prabhu said that the launch of the unique identification number (UID) enrolment process will accelerate efforts in the financial inclusion activities undertaken by the bank by using hi-tech biometric based ATMs and use of UID in financial transactions.
According to the current arrangement, UIDAI will pay Rs 50 to OBC for every UID allotted through the bank. OBC had in August this year signed an memorandum of understanding (MoU) with UIDAI for taking up the role of a registrar.
The issuance of Aadhaar numbers had formally kicked off end September with the Prime Minister, Dr Manmohan Singh, and the UPA Chairperson, Ms Sonia Gandhi, handing out UID numbers to residents of Tembhli village in Nandurbar district of Maharashtra.
Since then the UIDAI has rapidly ramped up enrolments for the Aadhaar number across seven States – Andhra Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Delhi, Jharkhand, Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra. Earlier this week, UIDAI said it has crossed one lakh enrolments, with the issue of Aadhaar number to a resident of Tumkur, Karnataka.
When contacted, UIDAI DG, Mr R.S Sharma, told Business Line that with the official launch in September, all the States are now gearing-up for enrolments in a big way. “However, I cannot give-out monthly target at this point,” Mr Sharma said.
The Government has earlier said that the first set of 10 crore UID numbers are expected to be issued between August 2010 and March 2011. Thereafter, 600 million (or 60 crore) UID numbers are expected to be issued within the next three years.

05 Apr Bonsai Cafe
Bonsai Cafe is a little secret of mine which I am reluctant to write about because this is my absolute favourite Vietnamese restaurant in the whole of Adelaide.
This little eatery is located inside Bonsai Mujo, a nursery where they sell bonsai plants, supplies and hold educational classes.
Head chef The Tran, has over 20 years experience making pho, having taken over his mother’s business Baria many years ago before closing up shop and retiring.
Baria was, and still is incredibly famous in the Vietnamese community for having the best pho in Adelaide and I was lucky enough to dine there several times as a young child with my family.
Beef noodle soup. Fresh rice noodles with rare beef, cooked brisket and beef balls. The broth which is made with large amounts of beef bones, a mixture of herbs and spices and then simmered for 24 hours was rich, full bodied and delightfully warming with a subtle hint of sweetness. Truly the best pho in Adelaide and brings back such wonderful childhood memories.
Pork chop rice. The pork chop was deliciously crisp on the outside while the meat itself was juicy and moist. The rice was light and fluffy and the pickled vegetables were crunchy and tangy with a good balance. Also the best pork chop rice in Adelaide.
If you’re familiar with Baria 2, Thanh Thanh, Adelaide Pho and Saigon Gate then you will love Bonsai Cafe just as much, if not more as each restaurant is owned by the head chef’s siblings so the dishes and flavours are quite similar.
With barely any advertisement and having only been open for a short time, Bonsai Cafe have had to extend their trading hours to include dinner service due to their immense popularity.
Word of mouth also travels fast in the Vietnamese community, and Vietnamese customers are bypassing the many Vietnamese restaurants along Hanson Road to dine at Bonsai Cafe instead so I can guarantee the food is delicious.

From 25 October, Ene Ustav's third solo exhibition is open in the Omicum atrium, celebrating the artist's 75th birthday! Ene Ustav is an Associate Professor of Gene Technology at the University of Tartu, and her paintings have decorated the Omicum atrium in several different exhibitions before. The exhibition will remain open until 4 December.
A newspaper article about the exhibition was published in Tartu Postimees on 28 October 2022 (in Estonian).
A little about myself.
My childhood passed in the special silence and peace that reigned in Rõuge, on the farm on the edge of Ööbikooru, where my aunt on my mother's side worked alone at the time. There was a city home in Võru and there was a place of retreat where you rarely met other people. It was the post-war era, there were no toys and you had to invent and make them yourself from pine cones and other surrounding nature, with one of my younger sisters as a playmate. There were suitcases of drawn paper dolls and invented clothes for them, there was time for self-sewing doll clothes, there was time for embroidery lessons, there was a constant search for reading material. Such pre-school self-realization was probably very favorable for later creativity development. In relation to painting, the fact that the well-known graphic artist and art teacher Günter Reindorff and his wife spent several summers in a row at my aunt's place, capturing the places we also know, where we used to go for wild strawberries, remains in this period. I remember our pride when a famous artist gave my sister a notepad with his drawings, and me an Italian charcoal pencil and a special soft eraser!
The school years in Võru followed. I chose chemistry studies at the University of Tartu. I had also researched the possibility of studying art in Tallinn, and I knew that a folder with about a dozen works was required. However, since there was only one place to take part in painting groups in Võru in the house of pioneers, this option was rejected. And luckily, because then everything that followed could not have happened - a happy meeting with my coursemate Mart, our marriage, our four children, now nine grandchildren and already the first great-grandchild! We have lived together and worked together for many, many years, and growing old together has its own great value in life. We enjoy the children's activities, our summer home, the park, the company we have developed and so many other interesting things around us.
It's never too late to start painting! I would dare to say this, based on the experience of my first small painting exhibition in the corridor of the 4th floor of UT intitute of technology in December 2017 and the subsequent exhibition with 33 paintings in the atrium of IMCB and Omicum from November 3, 2020 to January 3, 2021. Thus, this exhibition, which opens on my 75th birthday, is already the third.
The need for self-fulfillment and some inner urge to act in the field of art have also sought a way out before. I took a peek at Kaljo Põllu's art office in Tartu, where most of the graphics were done. Next to raising children, I tried to send works to the Fine Art Distance Learning Course. I did some works in the area of sketching figures together with Enn Tegova's students. I started painting more seriously at the beginning of 2017, shortly before my 70th birthday, joining the already established school/friendship in Robert Suvi's studio in the painting studio "Suvi". The abundance of colors, companions with a wealth of experience, big plans that I could only fulfill a little at this point, all this created an inner feeling of happiness and confidence in my abilities to continue in this direction. Our Wednesday painting sessions are inspiring in every way, and no one wants to miss them without a reason. We have been able to travel and go painting together - we spent a week in Gmünd, Austria, twice in France, Berre Les Alpes. This spring, in May, we were able to paint together in Greece for 10 days. A new trip is planned to Portugal.
2019 the fall painting camp in Berre les Alpes in the South of France culminated with our studio exhibition in the city's ancient vaulted gallery-grotto, where we presented more than a hundred different paintings to the viewers. At the opening of the exhibition, the Estonians and the French were mediated by my daughter's deskmate form school, Stien Raffa, who has acquired a wonderful sounding French in more than ten years in France. Thanks to this, it was possible to give the French, most of whom do not have much knowledge of Estonia, a good overview of what is happening here and also of the activities of the 2024 European Capital of Culture in Tartu. It would be great if the Berre les Alpes choir sang in 2024. here in Tartu!
My total number of works is approaching half a hundred. The pictures I have painted so far are for my children and their families. There are pictures of Tartu, there are views of a country house, there pictures from lake Peipsi and also the sea. And of course flowers, because Andresjärve's endless perennial flower beds and the entire park we built have been very inspiring! However, painting has been just a hobby for me until now, as at the time I started devoting myself to the mysteries of science a little late in addition to raising children, and there have been so many interesting and important hypotheses to verify in the understanding of papillomaviruses that it has been difficult to deviate from this path!
At the same time, I am happy that starting from the new year I can only acquire new tricks and gather knowledge in the field of painting every day! I am already waiting for this pensioner's new year and a crisp winter, a new spring with the abundance of green colors, a new purple glow of apple trees and the blooming perennials. I'm waiting for a new summer and a new frenzy of colors! Until then, let's enjoy the beautiful, still colorful late autumn!
And let's be healthy!
The curator of the exhibition is Sulev Kuuse and the exhibition is open until 4 December (Mon–Fri 9:00–17:00).

Fans of Rockstar's Max Payne series will be undoubtedly frustrated to hear that the third installment of the series will no longer be releasing in March. The new release dates are May 15 for the PS3 and Xbox 360 and May 29 for the PC. This change will push the title out of the current fiscal year for Take-Two Interactive, which will most likely show as a loss.
Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelbick has been quoted saying “We do not take changes on our release schedule lightly, and this short delay will ensure that Max Payne 3 delivers the highest quality, groundbreaking entertainment experience that is expected from our company."

Tulsidas - Vinaya Patrika 48
Type of Spiritual Experience
A description of the experience
Poems of Tulsidas - translated by Professor John Stratton Hawley
The flame offered to Ram
extinguishes the flame of pain;
It burns up sin and sorrow,
burns down to the root of lust.
In a lovely mist of incense,
in a row of splendid lamps
Its ritual rhythm-the hand-claps-
scares the bird of sin away.
It dissipates the darkness, the dumbness,
from the house, the heart, of devotees;
it casts wide the net of purest truth.
It is the frosty night that chills
the lotuses of this dark age:
the lurching, the drunkenness, the rage.
It is the messenger girl of liberation
embodied in a flash of lightning,
The fingers of the moon spread out to catch
and lift the lotuses of the night-
the forest of those who flee for refuge.
It is the force of a multitude of Kalis
pitted against the buffalo of Tulsi's pride.
The source of the experienceTulsidas

I moved from Portland to San Jose for work. I paid for gas, meals, and hotels during my move, and was reimbursed later. The company paid for transporting my household goods, storage, lodging and reimbursements were shown on my salary. My question is can I enter the moving expense amounts on the moving expenses for deductions?

There was a real nip in the air today. I shivered as I turned the broomstick ready to fly to do a small errand. Suddenly I couldn’t see my hand in front of my green face! What was happening? “Zanzibar,” I called. “Zanz, where are you?” “Here,” he answered. But I couldn’t see him anywhere. “Where’s here?” I asked him. “Here’s here,” he replied. “This is like the good old days, a real pea-souper of a fog.”
“And what’s that?” I asked him a bit cross because the swirling fog was goingto make my little flight difficult, if not impossible.
“A pea-souper” said Zanzibar importantly, “is when fog is so thick it could be pea-soup.”
“Oh,” I said. “Well it means my errands won’t get done.”
And then I had a brilliant idea. When the world seves you a pea-souper, make pea soup.
So we did. And I put a little Zanzibar in the middle – just because he was hiding in the pea-soup fog!
To Make my wonderful pea soup – which we’ll call Cat in a Green Tureen – just follow these steps:
- 20 oz. frozen green peas
- 1 sweet onion, chopped
- 6 large garlic cloves, minced
- 3 cups of chicken or vegetable stock
- 1 cup of water
- 2 tbsp. olive oil
- 2 bay leaves
- ¼ tsp cumin
- 1 tsp. salt
- ½ tsp pepper
- lemon juice (one lemon)
- yogurt and cat croutons for garnish
- 4 slices of toast
- 2 tbsp. olive oil
- 1 tbsp. balsamic vinegar
Preparation time: 30 mins.
Cooking time: 30 mins.
- Heat olive oil on medium high heat in a medium sauce pan with bay leaves.
Tip: Use a food processor or chopper to chop up the onion and garlic — roughly cut the onion into wedges and dice it up with garlic cloves with a few pulses. Your kids can help with this step, especially if they’re not ready to use a knife.
- Add the chopped onions and garlic to the pan, and saute till translucent ( about 7 mins.).
- Add peas to the pot. Stir occasionally until the peas are completely thawed.
- Add stock and water, bring to boil, then turn heat to medium till peas are tender. Stir occasionally.
- Fish out the bay leaves, season with salt and pepper.
- Remove soup from heat; use a hand blender or food processor to puree the soup till smooth.
- If the soup is too thick, gradually add more water. Add salt and pepper, if needed.
- Ladle into serving bowls, drizzle lemon juice.
- Garnish with Greek yogurt and cat crouton, serve immediately.
- Preheat oven to 400ºF.
- Mix oil and vinegar in a small bowl to create a vinaigrette.
- Cut out 4 cat-shapes from the bread slices with a cookie cutter.
- Brush both sides of the slices with the vinaigrette.
- Place the “cats” on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake in the oven for around 8 mins. until the side facing down is brown; flip the slices then bake for another 6-8 mins.
- Remove the croutons from the oven and let cool.

On the face of it, plastic bottles are pretty easy to recycle.
So why are only around 50% of those in the UK – below the European average – ending up in the recycling bin? This was one of the questions asked by the University of Exeter in a pioneering study, Unpacking the Household. It found a pressing need to break old recycling habits and forge new ones. But how to do this?
This is where Coca-Cola Enterprises (CCE), which funded the Exeter study, asked for OpenIDEO.com’s help. OpenIDEO is an online global community of 60,000 designers, creative people and experts from all walks of life. Together they seek to find solutions to some of society’s biggest and most challenging problems, so an ideal place to look for answers.
CCE and OpenIDEO launched an 11-week challenge in March to find ways of helping people to forge new recycling habits. The findings of the Exeter study were used as a foundation (see ‘The Exeter study’ below). More than 200 ideas were put forward, whittled down to just 25 by the OpenIDEO community using a set of evaluation criteria. CCE and the OpenIDEO team then came together for a day to select the final eight ideas, detailed on these pages.
CCE is currently looking at which ideas it might take forward to pilot and the possible effect they might have on at-home recycling rates. (See ‘Smart ideas around recycling’, top right) But these ideas are open source, so anyone can take them forward. In fact, according to OpenIDEO, that’s the whole point. Any company or organisation can take an initiative or elements of an idea to help it improve its recycling and environmental record.
The Exeter study
Three-quarters of British and French consumers claim to always recycle plastic bottles at home. But recycling rates do not reflect this, with just over half of all bottles being recycled. Exeter University carried out a six-month study of 20 households across Britain and France, funded by CCE (MRW.co.uk/8660921.article). Here are some of its key findings:
- Household habits have a significant influence on recycling levels. People do not always make conscious decisions about recycling, and instead the way they behave is an instinctive process built into their daily lives.
- Relying on behaviour change is only part of the solution. Recycling infrastructure that surrounds household practices must also be considered, and adjusted to encourage the formation of new habits and embed them into daily life.
- Aesthetics are king. Physical space is often needed to make recycling a viable option, and some people are not willing to compromise the aesthetics of their home to make room for a recycling bin.
- Misunderstandings about what happens to waste limits appreciation of the true value of recycling. People see recycling as a linear rather than circular process and some sceptical beliefs are held, such as recyclables are ‘sent to landfill’ or most are exported.
- Recycling is seen as complex and confusing. There is confusion about which materials can be recycled.
- Children can be agents of change. They frequently recall the recycling information received at school and relay it to their parents. Teens tend to forget this information and quickly lose interest.

For three years, grown-ish fans have wondered if Zoey and Aaron would ever move beyond the friend zone and become a couple.
Of course, last week’s installment showed the pair as friends with, um, benefits, but that was problematic because Aaron has a girlfriend named Rochelle. Remember her? In fact, Rochelle reached out to Zoey to tell her she no longer wanted Zoey to leave Aaron alone, and they could all be friends. This made Zoey feel remorseful because she had slept with Aaron. Meanwhile, Aaron dissed Zoey when he told her she was, “the girl who floats in and out of my life whenever she wants, and just kind of screws with my head.” But Zoey said she would no longer be floating, and had actually quit her job as Joey Badass’ stylist to return to school.
Thankfully, much of this got resolved on Thursday’s Season 3 finale, titled “Who Do You Love?” The episode kicked off with Aaron still fighting the power. Instead of taking Cal U’s bribe of paid-off tuition debts in exchange for his silence about the college’s investment in private prisons, Aaron staged yet another brilliant protest in orange prison jumpsuits. And this one garnered even more attention because it took place at his commencement with all of his fellow graduates — Black, white, brown and Asian — standing up against the school’s greedy and systemically racist venture.
Instead of feeling proud of not only graduating from college but staging an effective and non-violent protest, all Aaron could think about was Zoey and Rochelle and who he should choose. Hoping for clarity, Aaron went to his boys Doug and Vivek, but they didn’t help. “I would imagine she’s a very selfish lover,” Vivek opined. But Aaron said Zoey is anything but. “I would have imagined that, too. But she’s not,” he retorted. See? This is how Zoey and Ana should’ve discussed Aaron last week, but whatever.
Soon after, Rochelle broke the exciting news regarding the university’s divestment and grabbed Aaron for a congratulatory kiss. Zoey and Aaron attempted to talk, but then Vivek interrupted, causing Zoey to sulk off in her fabulous patterned dress and braided ponytail. Zoey returned home and found Luca sitting on her couch because he had been helping Nomi with her baby. He was also making a vision board, which he comically refused to call a “vision board.”
At first, Luca seemed indifferent about Zoey revealing that she and Aaron had slept together. They used to be a couple, too. Instead, Luca said, Zoey and Aaron deserve each other. There’s the petty. Respect the petty. Later, after Jazz and Doug got home and Doug drunkenly embarrassed himself, Zoey asked Luca what he meant by his comment. “The entire year we were dating, I asked you if you had feelings for homeboy,” Luca replied, “and you said ‘no.'” But Zoey stood by her past declaration and said she didn’t have feelings for Aaron then. Really, Zoey? Really?
Luca was likely right, because soon after Luca left, Zoey texted Aaron and asked if he was up. They met in front of his dorm building, and Zoey apologized. “Sorry for everything,” she said. “For going back and forth with you all these years.” Zoey also said she was sorry for blemishing their beautiful friendship. But Aaron said they are grownups who both messed up. Determined to take a stand, Zoey told Aaron that although she loves him and is in love with him, she was going to remove herself from the equation so he could be with Rochelle. She added that perhaps they could be a couple in the future when they were both free to do so without guilt.
Zoey drove home, and that seemed like the end for her and Aaron… until he showed up at her place. “I want our story to start now,” Aaron said. “Like, right now.” Aaron also said he loved Zoey. The two kissed passionately and then smiled. Awww! So sweet. But what’s going to happen to Rochelle now? Hopefully, all will be revealed in Season 4.
