When the movie Hercules came out I was so fascinated. I bought it later on and every time I’d go straightly to the scene when Hercules goes to Mount Olympus and meets all the Gods and Goddesses. They were so beautiful and powerful. And it seemed as if they were flying on clouds right behind this heavenly golden gate.
And then I grew up which wasn’t a long time after I watched the movie, but still the idea was in the back of my mind. I actually believe that at some point in life these Gods and Goddesses existed. Maybe they didn’t exist in such an elaborate way but the idea and the mythology must have started somewhere at sometime. People must have believed in these heavenly creatures at some point. I mean however can we explain the existence of the pottery and the temples and the citadels if it weren’t for these beliefs?
In any case, ever since I’ve had these notes, these clips and photos about heroes, Gods, Goddesses, muses, nymphs, titans… you name it… and every time I fall upon a version of any mythology it is brand new yet so familiar. They are all interconnected. But still the actual story is a blur. And that’s in itself fascinating and intriguing.
Moreover, all the mythologies revolve around one pure ultimate see-through genuine feeling: love!
Love, and above all things… love!
One of the stories I love is the one of Demeter, the Goddess of seasons and her daughter Cora.
Demeter had an affair with Zeus. Of course Zeus used one of his many ruses to approach Demeter behind Hera’s back. (His ways are a different story) Out of Zeus’ and Demeter’s union came Cora.
Cora and her mother were so close. And because of that love and the happiness that took place between them Demeter bestowed upon the earth the good season: colorful flowers down the hills, streams of water gushing from the valleys, bright green trees all around the villagers’ homes… everything was peaceful and beautiful.
But down below, in the deepest cores of the earth, down where nothing lives or sees the light, the place where life subsists from existence Hades, the God of the dead resided. And one day he came upon Cora. He fell madly in love and he wanted to possess that beauty. He wanted to make that divine women and he didn’t care how he obtained his goal. So he went to Zeus and offered him a deal in exchange for Cora… Zeus agreed.
When Demeter woke up one morning and didn’t find her daughter she got so scared. She started searching for her all over the world: from Mount Olympus until the far depth of the world. Of course she couldn’t go into the underworld, because it was said that whoever got in could never ever get out. They belonged to the dead.
Demeter was heartbroken. Therefore, she went to Helios, the God of the sun. Helios told her that if Demeter were to know the whereabouts of her daughter she ought to go to Zeus for he was the reason of this heart aching situation.
So did Demeter. After she heard the truth from Zeus, the God of Gods, Demeter retired herself, for no one can object to Zeus. Demeter then went to sob over her Cora in her temple: Eleusis.
She was so desperate and sad. She stopped eating or drinking. She even stopped feeding on ambrosia which was the divine food of the Gods and Goddesses.
Due to this fast, nature started drying up. Fruits no longer grew. Flowers were parched. Trees lost their leaves. Rivers became arid. People were dying of hunger and thirst.
The Gods were starting to get worried. They feared on the lives of the mortals because like it or not these mortals were their source of fun. Gods and Goddesses tried to approach Demeter to convince to get back on her two feet and let go of her daughter. But Demeter wouldn’t even let them into her temple.
Finally Zeus tried to get through to her but no luck as well. Demeter was too heartbroken and so enraged that she yelled at Zeus and told him that if anything, all of this was his fault.
Zeus then tried to repair his mistake and sent Hermes, his son and the God of speed and communication, to the underworld. Hermes was able to go there in a heartbeat. At first, he was told that there was no woman called Cora in the underworld. He demanded to see Hades after threatening them with Zeus’ rage. Hades told him that Cora no longer existed and that his wife’s name was Persephone.
Nevertheless, Hermes was able to come to terms with Hades so that he would let Persephone go see her mother. Hades was very fond of his wife and he didn’t want to let go. When he was saying good bye to his wife he plucked grenadine from a tree nearby and gave it to her as a symbol of his love. Persephone bit into the grenadine savored it and kissed Hades good bye.
The reunion between Demeter and Cora in Eleusis’ temple was so overwhelming and emotional that all the Gods and Goddesses were looking down on them with tears in their eyes. Mother and daughter were crying, hugging and kissing.
However, Demeter being the Goddess of seasons and all that comes along could smell grenadine on her daughter. She asked Cora why that was. Cora told her mother about her emotional farewells. Demeter fell to the ground in sobs. She was shaking at the thought. She then explained to her daughter that grenadine was the symbol of marital union and that Cora will always belong to Hades from now on and had to go back to him. But Demeter didn’t want to let go of her.
Both mother and daughter went to Zeus asking him to find a way to let Cora stay with her mother since it was his obligation being the one who caused the mistake in the first place.
Finally, an agreement was made: Cora was to spend 4 months in the underworld with her husband and the rest of the year with her mother.
Thus were born the seasons: for 4 months, while Cora was with Hades, Demeter would feel saddened and desperate, thus winter was born. The last month, before her daughter’s arrival, Demeter would prepare the earth to welcome her with its colors and fruits, thus spring was born. When Cora came back to her mother, the earth would be at its peak of glamour and heat, thus summer was born. And before her daughter’s departure, Demeter and Cora would be dwelling and aching because of the time they were about to spend apart, thus autumn was born.
This story amazes me. It would be something I would want my daughter to listen to before I tuck her in. I mean what more could explain a mother’s love towards her children?! Demeter spent weeks and weeks looking for her daughter and then she was able to change the entire world because of her sorrow. What could be a bigger prove of motherly love?!

Thermal Management in Aerospace Applications
Thermal Management Consulting, Products, Education and Resources for Cooling Aerospace Applications
Avionics and other aerospace electronics embrace some of the world’s most advanced technologies. Sophisticated electronics are often associated with more power consumption and as a result, higher heat generation requires acute attention to the thermal management challenges that they create.
As in other industries and applications, more power within smaller spaces result in excess heat problems. Because of this spatial constraint, unlike other industries, with aerospace components, the use of common heat dissipation devices are often not a viable option.
The development of innovative solutions for many thermal issues affecting aerospace electronics is needed to ensure that the performance and integrity of the mission is successful.


The kind of thrill can be seen among the consumer and the manufacturers in the various segments of electric vehicles.
What do you think? The consumer had the same thoughts and expectations about electric vehicles in 2018? Or they were reluctant about its possibility? The cost or the fear of changing to something different or an alternate drive type of vehicle.
As per a survey done by puls Marktforschung, the top leaders in the production of electric vehicles are: –
So, what about the market size or the market readiness for buying a battery electric vehicle by 2019, survey conducted by Roland Berger shows that China had the highest percentage in the acceptance of the battery electric vehicle or ready to buy such a pure battery electric vehicle.
What about the choices being given to each consumer? A pure electric vehicle or hybrid vehicle? The survey result shows that majority of the people are interested in hybrid vehicles. May be due to the lack of a charging station for the pure electric vehicle. The problem is present.
In my opinion, the market in 2021 and in 2022 will be completely different compared to 2018. It is definitely nobody thought that the fire of electric vehicles will catch so fast in every country.
That the automobile manufacturer had to change its course of action toward the traditional vehicle and took a steep turn toward the new automobile concept. It will be great to watch electric vehicles being on road in a huge number. Not just in developed countries but also in emerging countries.
The way new model and a variety of segments has been introduced in an electric vehicle, the competition is high and tough. It is shaping or even reshaping the old industries or even new automobile industries.

In their classic ‘Snooker Loopy’, Chas and Dave promised to show us what they “could do with a load of balls and a snooker cue.” Their legacy continued during the final session of the recent Masters’ final, with Ray Stubbs heralding one frame as a showpiece of “snooker balls of steel.”
With such an apparent fixation with balls, snooker would appear to most onlookers to be in rude health. Not according to its finest player, Ronnie O’Sullivan, though. After beating Joe Perry in the first round, O’Sullivan bemoaned the “dying” sport, and mentioned that an X Factor-inspired Simon Cowell overhaul would be provide the necessary resuscitative lift.
The world number one thinks that a change similar to that seen in Britain’s other favourite pub sport, darts, would revitalise the game. "It needs someone with entrepreneurial skills like Simon Cowell who is in the modern world and more dynamic."
Another of snooker’s greats, Steve Davis, agrees that the sport needs a change, but appears to be fuelling the discussion with an interesting new twist, "For the last 25 years our association and players have tried to run their own game a bit Motown style.”
Motown – now there’s an idea for snooker’s hierarchy. It is not a Saturday evening exhibition of third-rate karaoke singers that can save the sport – it is jazz. The game’s bluesy future already seems a vivid prospect; the nostalgic witticisms of commentators Dennis Taylor and John Virgo would turn to calls of “bitchin’ long pot from Graeme Dott” or “Alan McManus - take it to the bridge, baby” , while Hazel Irvine’s chirpy presentation would make way for the Fast Show Jazz Club’s own Louis Balfour. Nice.
In the playing area itself, the compere could be replaced with a piano-accompanied, gravel-voiced jazz veteran, who would introduce players like members of his ensemble; “Playing tactically tonight, we have Mark ‘Smokey’ Selby, and on break-building, the Rocket himself, Mr Ronnie O’Sullivan.”
If O’Sullivan is after a more mainstream-friendly dash of pop culture, then we have the ideal fusion of faux sixties’ soul and contemporary chart music - Duffy. Perhaps she could sing entrance songs for players, as the piano plays standards in the background. Steve Davis’ cousin Miles could even provide posthumous trumpets.
It is a picture of glamour that far exceeds ‘The Rocket’s vision of an ITV screening of ‘Shaun Murphy Versus Stephen Lee On Ice’ – though such a spectacle would indeed provide an entertaining support act.

Pepsi's Super Bowl Efforts Emphasize Music, 'X Factor' Throughout
For those hosting Super Bowl parties this Sunday, greasy food, beer and a giant TV are all must-haves. But what about music?
Pepsi plans to make music -- and to some extent its $60 million "X Factor" sponsorship -- the common thread in its Super Bowl efforts, said Shiv Singh, global head of digital for PepsiCo Beverages. "A lot of people don't realize how big music is to the Super Bowl," he explained. "If you think about the Super Bowl, there's the game itself, the advertising and then halftime. At halftime, you're dialing up the TV to listen to the performance, in this case Madonna. And after the game, music kicks in a lot more."
A 60-second ad, "King's Court," will feature Elton John and "X Factor" winner Melanie Amaro. The tagline for the ad, created by TBWA/Chiat/Day is "Where there's Pepsi, there's music." A music video featuring Ms. Amaro singing a contemporized version of Aretha Franklin's "Respect" will be available when consumers use the Shazam app on the commercial. And the brand has also partnered with Pandora to curate a Super Bowl-themed station for consumers looking for the perfect game-day playlist.
Pepsi is also using the Pepsi Sound Off platform, which was modeled after Twitter and introduced as a way for "X Factor" fans to connect. Celebrities, including New York Jets' Mark Sanchez, will take turns hosting the platform during the game. The site has been given a football-themed update.
Sound Off was initially built for "The X Factor," but Mr. Singh said he's "fairly confident" that users will be interested in Super Bowl conversations -- and, eventually, other types of conversations. Mr. Singh said Sound Off is considered a "strategic asset" and will continue to be used as a way for consumers to connect during pop-culture moments.
"The entry point is the advertising," Mr. Singh said. "Everything builds really nicely and bleeds and flows, compared to some other advertisers for whom Super Bowl is an isolated initiative."
"What we're doing with a social-TV platform is hosting a party for consumers and people across America," he said. "If consumers want to rate and rant about the ads, they're more than welcome to," Mr. Singh said. "[Coca-Cola's ] approach is very different. The impression I get is it's a competing second-screen experience. It's not consumers talking about the game with each other; it's talking to ad characters. We care less about what polar bears do and more about what real people do and say."
"The X Factor," for its part, was back in the headlines this week when producers said host Steve Jones and judges Paula Abdul and Nicole Scherzinger would not return for the show's second season. Some thought the timing overshadowed the "X Factor" Super Bowl tie-in, but it seemed just as likely to make the show top-of -mind again for Super Bowl viewers.

text: The unstructured nature of the labor-intensive construction industry negatively affects the health of workers. These challenges require a robust health monitoring approach to accurately monitor workers’ overall health status. Recent advancements in wearable technologies and physiological sensing have provided ample opportunities towards an objective and continuous in-field measurement of workers’ physical and mental status. However, these solutions have mostly focused on a particular health condition. There is a lack of holistic health monitoring to understand the impacts of the construction environment on workers’ health conditions (i.e., physical fatigue, mental stress, and exposure to heat stress). In this regard, the present study investigates the feasibility of a multimodal wearable sensing system to comprehensively monitor construction workers’ overall health status during their ongoing work. To this end, five able-bodied workers were prompted to perform specific construction activities (e.g., roofing, loading/unloading) with light and medium physical intensity while exposed to varying levels of heat stress (i.e., caution level, and danger level). During each task, three biosignals, namely photoplethysmography (PPG), electrodermal activity (EDA), and skin temperature (ST), and were collected from the workers through wearable biosensors. To assess their overall health status, various metrics were extracted from PPG (heart rate, heart rate variability), EDA (electrodermal level), and ST (mean skin temperature). Results of correlation analysis elucidated strong correlation between the extracted physiological metrics with respect to workers’ physical fatigue, mental stress, and heat stress exposure. The findings demonstrated the feasibility of a multimodal sensing system for the holistic health monitoring of construction workers.

While the tariff imposed by the Trump administration was not in the best interest of American homeowners, we expect to be able to continue to offer excellent value and quality service to all potential consumers of solar.
TEMECULA, Calif., January 25, 2018 (Newswire.com) - Sungevity, a leading national designer and installer of residential and commercial solar systems, issued the below statement from CEO Frank Kneller, following President Trump's announcement to impose steep tariffs on imported solar modules.
Although our industry may be out of favor with the current White House administration, the support for renewable energy solutions and solar power remains strong at the state and local levels. The decline in solar panel prices has served the residential consumer well, reduced fossil fuel consumption and resulted in a favorable contribution to job growth in the United States. Sungevity's strategic aim will continue to remain steadfast on opening new solar markets in the coming year, ensuring existing markets remain accessible and contributing to job growth in one of the fastest growing industries in the United States."

- THE MAGAZINE
Testifying before Congress, Greenspan pointed to steady home sales during an unusually mild winter and a mortgage refinance boom fueled by low interest rates. This, he told Congress, were factors keeping the recession mild and, now, bringing it to a close.
According to the National Association of Realtors (www.realtor.org), the residential property boom has shown no signs of weakening following the brief lull in activity following the Sept. 11 attacks. The NAR recently reported sales of previously owned homes were up nearly 15 percent in January from the previous year.
Analysts attribute the demand to the desire to diversify and balance investment portfolios, taking some of the weight away from the volatile stock market and redirecting it into property and other alternatives. Additionally, the housing boom is the result of low interest rates as well as more flexible financing that affords greater homeownership opportunities to minorities, immigrants, senior citizens, and first-time buyers.
The NAR is the world's largest professional association. Founded in 1908, it has grown from its original nucleus of 120 to more than 750,000 members today.

Bill Donohue: There Are No Examples Of Gays Being Discriminated Against
Catholic League blowhard Bill Donohue melted down over Arizona this morning on CNN.
Donohue began by accusing President Barack Obama’s administration of “encroaching on the rights of people of faith” in a variety of areas. “Gays as individuals, I’m with you on that Chris, let’s protect them in the workplace, let’s protect them as individuals,” Donohue insisted. “What my concern is, and I think I speak for a lot of people of faith, is the institution of marriage. That’s a separate issue altogether.” “Where are the examples of gays being discriminated against?” Donohue asked. “If they’re being discriminated against, how come they make more money than straight people on average?” “Is somebody being denied at Applebee’s getting a hamburger? Where are these examples?” he followed up. “Under the law in Arizona, there is no special protection of the LGBT community, so a business member, if he or she wanted to or she wanted to, could discriminate without violation,” Como said. “That’s why the law was unnecessary. Do you get that?”Chris Cuomo is becoming my favorite news host.

"There's a management problem at the agencies overseeing ... group homes, and it's just been brought to light, and people are appalled by it," said House Speaker Michael E. Busch. "We will prioritize providing the oversight and the funds to make these agencies work."
The newspaper's investigation found that regulators weren't properly monitoring the state-licensed and -funded homes, allowing some to mistreat or neglect children without consequences. Many group homes employ unqualified or poorly trained workers, including some with criminal records. With virtually no oversight of how they spend state funds, a number of operators enrich themselves, relatives and friends.
"The kids in our state are falling through the cracks," said Sen. Paula C. Hollinger, who chairs the Education, Health and Environmental Affairs Committee. "Overhaul is necessary. You've got to check up on the providers the same way you've got to check up on the kids."
Children in group homes are some of the most vulnerable in Maryland. Many come from broken homes and have been abused. Others have severe medical or behavioral problems.
Sen. Ulysses Currie, chairman of the Budget and Taxation Committee, said options include a legislative audit - an investigation of how state programs are performing. The Prince George's County Democrat also said that "we need to have some hearings" on the state Department of Human Resources, which licenses and oversees most group homes in Maryland.
"I'm asking my staff to thoroughly review the series in order to correct inaccuracies or gross misleading statements, but also identify ways to strengthen our capacity here in the department," McCabe said.
McCabe said it was too early to say what steps the department might take, and he declined to discuss such specifics as ending the practice of giving group homes notice before some inspections. Nor would McCabe say whether the department would take action against any group home companies described in the series.
The department, he said, is developing plans to decrease reliance on group homes by increasing the number of foster families. "That will help relieve some of the pressure on the group home system," McCabe said.
In a statement yesterday, McCabe acknowledged that there have been regulatory flaws going back years and blamed the administration of former Gov. Parris N. Glendening for failing to act. He said the administration of Gov. Robert L. Ehrlich Jr. has "made significant progress" and he vowed to help "repair a damaged child welfare system."
Neither the governor's office nor the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, which licenses 115 group homes, returned calls seeking comment.
Democratic lawmakers said the Ehrlich administration has had more than two years to address the issues.
"You can only pass the buck for so long," said Hollinger.
The Sun's investigation was based on 150 interviews with doctors, social services workers and experts, and an examination of 15,000 pages of child case files, inspection reports and other records obtained under the state Public Information Act. It looked at a sampling of 25 companies that ran 120 group homes across the state for abused, neglected and delinquent youths.
A statewide task force in 2001 and legislative audits over the last four years, including one announced last month, have identified problems similar to those reported in the series.
McCabe said his department's review would look at the task force report prepared under Glendening, which recommended hiring more inspectors and consolidating under a single state agency the scattered licensing and monitoring of group homes.

On my schedule, it says “Writing”, and has for the last hour and a half. However, I’ve been doing something else, something that was inspired yet again from Chris Brogan’s The Freaks Shall Inherit the Earth.
In this case, it’s in the section called “Make Your Own Compass“. “Write down maybe five to seven reminders you need to focus on daily.” Then he gets bossy:
And I don’t mean that you should think, “Hey, I’ll do this later.” I mean stop what you’re doing and make a compass right now.
As you might guess, I think you should do that as well. So don’t click until you’ve done it. Don’t worry, I’ll wait.
Ok, so here’s what I came up with. First I drew a picture of the compass rose, and then started throwing words at it. Then I realized that the words were pretty easily mapped to the four elements, which I’m actually a little embarrassed by (that’s a bit more woo than I am comfortable with). After a while I realized that this seemed less like a compass and more like the viewfinder on a…well, let’s pretend I didn’t just finish binge-watching “The Unit” and call it a camera lens. The question then became: what would I be looking at through that viewfinder? I’m not a big one for destinations, but paths, yes, those I understand.
My compass became the viewfinder through which I view my path through life. Not exactly what Chris was suggesting, but I like to think it was pretty close:
This is a way to keep you tied to your goals and help you remember to dig out of the areas where you might get a bit stuck.
He gives an example of one of the parts of his own compass: Work the plan. If there’s no plan, make the plan. Simple. Direct. I found another fun little reminder online that really could be considered the root of any success ever:
But me, I’m kind of a fancy pants, so I went out and fired up the old graphics program, searched flickr for a bit, and came up with the fancy version of my own compass:
So. I showed you mine. Wanna show me yours?

WhatsApp’s long list of feature tests included the new “Unread Chats” filter for further streamlining chats. The feature, which appeared as part of a beta update in June, has now started rolling out the general users. Here’s a look at the details.
WhatsApp’s Unread Chats Filter Now Official
WhatsApp’s iOS app and Web version now have a new filter, which will show the unread chats. This option resides next to the search bar at the top. Once the unread messages appear, another option to clear the filter will also appear.
The new filter joins the existing media filters like Photos, GIFs, Links, Videos, Documents, and Audio. We were able to see the new filter on both an iPhone and the web. It is said to be available for Android users too but currently, it isn’t there. We expect the new Unread Chats filter to reach Android users gradually.
To view the unread chats, you can simply tap the new Filter icon next to the search bar on iOS and Web. Android users can tap the search bar and then the Unread Chats option for this. This filter will help you find messages you forgot to open and respond to and will further organize the WhatsApp chats. You can check out what it looks like below.
Do let us know if you have started seeing the new Unread Chats filter on WhatsApp in the comments below.
In addition, WhatsApp is also testing the ability for you to send messages to yourself on linked devices. This feature isn’t currently available when the multi-device mode is on. The Meta-owned messaging platform is also testing the ability to see Status updates via the chat list and the ability for group admins to delete others’ messages!
I am using the latest stable version of whatsapp for android, not the beta version, and I have this unread chat filter!

Lovely wooden Buffet Crampon Clarinet.
First owner was a professioal clarinet player and retired music teacher who fully refurbished and overhauled this clarinet.
It was restored this clarinet to his high playing standards with any parts or adjustments it needed. It was one of the best playing Clarinets that he had at the time.
It then was purchased, and played not even one year
It is now ready for a player, in excellent condition.
This Evette, serial number 2027XX, made in Germany by Buffet Crampon around 1980 and is solid Grenadilla Wood,
It has a wonderful balanced sound projection. This particular instrument comes with a nice professional mouthpiece, a Vandoren 2RV (made in France), that is worth about $125 by itself. T
This model is higher in quality and sounds much better than the somewhat lesser instrument, the E11.
This instrument is in excellent condition. There is one hairline (barely noticeable) imperfection in the bell (see picture) but it does not affect the sound in any way.

The information required for constructing predictive models has been obtained from the establishment and (re) measurement of an extensive network of permanent plots and silvicultural trials. This network covers the geographical distribution of the plantations and growth zones defined for the species of interest.
The network of permanent plots provides information on the yields achieved by the plantations under operational conditions, allowing to calibrate the models under changes in genetic material, changes in management regimes, and climatic changes occurring between successive plantations.
In contrast, the trials have an experimental design with repetitions that can evaluate and model the effect of factors of interest such as establishment techniques, initial planting density, and spacing, as well as the intensity and periodicity of thinning and pruning on growth and quality of the trees. In this case, the trials consider management regimes that are not used in operations, thus allowing a greater response surface and flexibility for the developed models.
The data capture process is carried out following a strict measurement protocol defined and agreed upon by its members. Annual training is given to the contracting companies in charge of collecting the data. In addition, some of the permanent plots and trials measured are also controlled by the MNS. Data are recorded with the help of an electronic data capture device. Subsequently, all data is stored and managed in a database management system developed by the MNS. This system allows validation of the data entered, ensuring the integrity and consistency of the information on growth series at the tree level.

In a corporate move that’s likely to set an important precedent for businesses across industrial sectors, General Motors has chosen to appoint a cybersecurity officer, the first post of its kind at the company, according to Fortune. The appointee, Jeffrey Massimilla, will be charged with protecting the computers that help to power the company’s cars.
Appointment Comes Amid Elevated Cyberthreat Landscape
It almost goes without saying that the move to appoint a cybersecurity executive is very much rooted in current events. With new malicious incursions cropping up everyday, there’s daily evidence to prove that no company is impervious to a cyberattack.
Massimilla’s job will be a special one. His task is not to oversee the security of computers within, say, a GM office, but instead to regulate the integrity of the computing technology that powers the business’ new smart cars, according to IEEE spectrum. And when it comes to smart cars, maintaining security is absolutely vital.
As Roger Berg, vice president for wireless technologies at Denso, put it at a talk in the motor city recently, “With connectivity comes responsibility. It opens you to attack.”
Berg’s statement holds particularly true for connected cars. Just picture this scenario: A smart car is driving down a busy road at rush hour. The driver and car’s intelligence system are working perfectly harmoniously, until all of a sudden an outside hacker commandeers the car’s computer system. In an instant, the car’s driver is now at the mercy of a criminal, operating remotely.
This scenario is definitely a scary one to consider, but it’s something that experts feel can be circumvented as long as the proper security measures are taken with regard to smart roads.
With GM planning on debuting automated driving to its customers in 2016, the time is not far off when cars will be cruising down the street operated by a computer system instead of a person. That’s all well and good – as long as the system doesn’t fall into the wrong hands.
To that end, it’s important that all auto manufacturers consider the vitality of information security when it comes to regulating smart cars. With suitable security, automated driving can become what it was intended to be – a safe and convenient practice.

Don’t fret! Level-5 is still making Ni no Kuni II. That is, lots of Level-5 is making it.
Ni no Kuni II was announced last December, but was M.I.A. at this year’s E3. In a recent interview with IGN Japan, Level-5 founder Akihiro Hino talked about how development was going. Here is that exchange:
IGN JAPAN: How’s development for Ni no Kuni II: Revenant Kingdom coming along?
HINO: We’re making it with all our might. The scale has gotten huge, and I think the title that has impacted the most Level-5 staff is Ni no Kuni II.
IGN JAPAN: The previous entry was a game parents could play with their children. What about this one?
HINO: This one is turning out to be a regular single player [game]. Reflecting on the previous one, the portrayal of the main character and the content was very much aimed at adults, but the visuals ended up looking a little like they were for children.
Because it seemed it was aiming too much at kids, and even though the hero is also a young boy this time, we’ve been careful in establishing this something adults can totally played by adults. As for the universe we’re creating, it’s like a Ghibli anime in that is easy for both adults and children to enter.
The first Ni no Kuni was a big game, too, so it’s good to hear that Level-5 is roping in loads of staff to produce another meaty Ni no Kuni experience.
No word yet on when Ni no Kuni II will be released. In case you missed it, here is Kotaku’s review of the first game.

R&B Diva Keyshia Cole, who is a friend of the blog, recently fired key staff members who helped her become the success that she is today. Without going into a lot of messy details, Keyshia hired industry bigwig Irving Azoff to guide her career. Azoff's management firm is already making major moves for her (more details on that at a later date).
Keyco also parted ways with her longtime publicist, Tresa Sanders (who kept Sandrarose.com in the loop for so many years). I'm told that Keyshia hired a large PR firm with more contacts within the industry -- at a much greater cost to her.
Keyshia completed work on her upcoming album, Woman to Woman, which is set for a November 2012 release. The first single off her album was the stellar "Enough of No Love" featuring rapper Lil Wayne. Keyshia is set to premiere her new reality TV series, Keyshia & Daniel: Family First. The show will center around Keyshia, Daniel and their son, DJ, as well as her sister Neffe and her mom Frankie.

Horinek misses end of practice
August 23, 2007
The Rams’ projected starter at middle linebacker, Jeff Horinek, tweaked a knee Thursday at practice.
After practice, CSU coach Sonny Lubick said he didn’t know the severity of the injury or the results of further examination, adding he would know more today. If Horinek will miss an extended period of time, Lubick said sophomore Matt Hendrick would step into the position.

New Book by Barbara Kingsolver '77 -- Animal, Vegetable, Miracle: A Year of Food Life -- Set for May Release
January 2, 2007
January 2, 2007, Greencastle, Ind. - In an article previewing "books to look forward to in 2007," Florida's St. Petersburg Times notes, "bestselling novelist Barbara Kingsolver writes, with her daughter Camille Kingsolver, about how and what we eat in Animal, Vegetable, Miracle: A Year of Food Life. The story by Colette Bancroft points out that the book is scheduled to be released in May. Barbara Kingsolver is a 1977 graduate of DePauw University.
Read more at the newspaper's Web site.
In a September appearance in Virginia, Barbara Kingsolver read from her upcoming work. She told the audience, "When I described this one to (my publishers) two years ago, I said it was about living for a year on food grown locally. They must have thought that was weird, but now everyone is thinking about that."
Learn more here.
A zoology major at DePauw, Barbara Kingsolver's books include the Pulitzer Prize-nominated The Poisonwood Bible, Prodigal Summer, The Bean Trees, Small Wonder and Last Stand: America's Virgin Lands, a collaboration with National Geographic photographer Annie Griffiths Belt. A recipient of the National Humanities Medal in 2000, she has also contributed to a number of other books, most recently Home Ground: Language for an American Landscape.

Recipe may contain gluten, peanuts, tree nuts, milk and sesame.
You only need 5 ingredients to make this addictive Caramilk fudge. Is there anything this decadent Cadbury chocolate can’t be turned into?
30g butter, chopped
395g can condensed milk
360g Caramilk chocolate, chopped
20g (1/4 cup) desiccated coconut
40g (1/4 cup) white choc melts, melted, to drizzle
3 Method Steps
Step 1Lightly grease four 6-hole (40ml capacity) ice cube trays (24 holes in total) (see note). Melt the butter(30g butter, chopped) in a saucepan over low heat. Add the condensed milk (395g can condensed milk) and Caramilk (360g Caramilk chocolate, chopped). Stir until melted and smooth. Remove from the heat and stir in the coconut (20g (1/4 cup) desiccated coconut).
Unsure of the quantity needed?
Click on the underlined ingredient to reveal the quantity. No need to flip back and forth!
Step 2Divide the Caramilk mixture among the ice cube trays and place in the fridge for 4 hours or until set.
Step 3Release the fudge from the trays and place upright on a board covered with baking paper. Place the melted white chocolate into a small piping bag or resealable bag and snip off a corner. Drizzle chocolate (40g (1/4 cup) white choc melts, melted, to drizzle) over the fudge. Allow to set before serving.
- We used silicon ice cube trays, which makes it easier to pop out the fudge cubes once they’re set. Alternatively, line each hole in the tray with a strip of baking paper so you can lift them out.
- Store the fudge in an airtight container in the fridge.

The song goes, “I’ll be there for you.” But this time, it’s Jennifer Aniston who’s there for us on social media. The Friends alum has finally created an Instagram account and she has already gained 16 million followers. Aniston “broke the Internet” in October 2019—for all the right reasons. Instagram users couldn’t wait to see her posts and to interact with the beloved actress.
Convincing Her To Join Instagram
For years, cast members of the iconic sitcom Friends had been sharing pictures on Instagram, including Lisa Kudrow, Matt LeBlanc, and David Schwimmer. In January 2019, Courteney Cox finally joined Instagram. Since then, Kudrow and Cox have shared selfies of when they would hang out with Aniston.
But like true friends, they have been trying to convince Aniston to join the Instagram party. However, it never seemed to work. Well, it finally happened. On October 15, 2019, Aniston joined Instagram, and her first post is already iconic. It’s a selfie of the full Friends cast reunion, with the caption: “And now we’re Instagram FRIENDS too.”
View this post on Instagram
No one told us life was going to be this way. Fans were pleasantly shocked at the news, but they weren’t complaining. They enjoyed a picture of the cast together in 2019. Even celebrities chimed in with their excitement. For example, Salma Hayek (@salmahayek) commented, “Welcome to the madness.” Sean Hayes (@seanhayes) posted, “My baby’s all grow’ed up!” Kaitlyn Bristowe (@kaitlynbristowe) asked an important question: “Are you and Ross still together?” Aniston replied, “We’re on a break.”
Reese Witherspoon, Aniston’s costar in the new Apple TV series, The Morning Show (released on November 1, 2019), also commented on the post. She said, “YASSSS!!! Welcome to Insta, Jen!!!” This isn’t the first time the celebrities costarred on a TV show together. True Friends fans will remember that Witherspoon guest-starred on the sitcom as Jill Green, Rachel’s sister.
Literally Breaking The Internet
People joked that Aniston would break the Internet, but they probably didn’t expect it to actually happen. Shortly after creating her official account, her page experienced a major technical glitch. She couldn’t accept new followers. Aniston (and other users) contacted Instagram, who quickly corrected the issue.
Aniston’s first post (of the cast selfie) has been liked more than 14 million times. Within 30 minutes of creating her account, Aniston reportedly gained more than 116,000 followers. She likely holds the record for having the fastest Instagram account to reach more than one million users, a record previously held by Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s joint account (created in April 2019).
Perhaps fans have been waiting years and years for the actress to join Instagram. They couldn’t wait to see what she would post. Of course, she didn’t disappoint anyone. Did you really think Aniston wouldn’t entertain us?
All Her Posts
Because her Instagram account is fairly new, Aniston doesn’t have that many posts. However, whatever she posts, it reaches millions of followers. For example, she posted a humorous video in which she smashes her phone in response to when her Instagram account experienced a technical glitch. Fans commented on the video. User @jenmeyerjewelry said, “I can relate to this all too well.” Another user (@bezuidenhout.cindy) said, “This woman is the definition of living her best life.”
In addition, Aniston also shared a “Throwback Thursday” picture, recreating a fashionable look from her childhood. One user (@contemporaryinsane01) commented, “You were beautiful then, you are beautiful now.” It’s hard not to disagree with the fan.
Aniston also posted a picture of herself getting ready for a modeling photo shoot. She wrote, “I’m just a girl…standing with hair and makeup. A stylist. A photographer. A lighting crew, wind machine, props, and a computer…asking you to think I woke up like this.” Fans love her creative posts, and they can’t get enough of them. Keep the fun posts coming, Aniston!
Professions That Are Well On Their Way To Disappearing Forever
The dizzying development rate of modern technology has done plenty of good for our world. However, it has also turned a lot of once-thriving careers into professions that are becoming less and less relevant. If it isn’t robots filling in for factory workers, it’s the newest app cutting out another middle man. In an era built for speed, many seasoned workers are scratching their heads wondering: which jobs will vanish next?

Historical Traveler Reviews Dimond Center Hotel Anchorage
Best sleep away from home
After visiting Alaska this past June, we cancelled out reservations at the Sheraton in Anchorage after staying at the Dimond Center. The rooms were elegant and it's the first good night sleep I had away from home.Tracy, the manager actually cooked us dinner and made us feel very special. We will be returning to Alaska hopefully once a year and will base out of Anchorage and ALWAYS stay at the Dimond Center.The Sheraton even offered to upgrade us to a Jr. Suite but it still didn't compare to what the Dimond offers everyone. Can't wait to go back and stay!
Loved the comfortable beds and spa bathroom!
After traveling for two weeks in Alaska and staying in four different locations, I was ready for a night of comfort and indulgence -- and that's what I got at the Dimond Center Hotel. The beds were sooo comfortable and the spa bathroom (with a huge soaking tub and Aveda products) was such a delight, I didn't want to leave. My husband and I had dinner in the room, watch our favorite program on the 32" tv, and got a wonderful night's sleep. We got up early, had freshly made waffles in the breakfast room and the hotel shuttle took us to the Alaska Railroad station for the last leg of our trip to Denali. Our accommodations at Denali were so bad, I longed for our room at Dimond Center. Note: The hotel is in a commercial area adjacent to a mall, so if you're looking for a scenic location, this is not the place for you. If you want a large, clean, very comfortable room with a touch of indulgence, go ahead and make a reservation. Ann in St. Louis
Clean & comfortable rooms; room size & beds a plus!
The Dimond Center Hotel offers clean, comfortable rooms. The size of the room, beds, and bathroom were great! The location is ideal when traveling south of Anchorage (Seward, Whittier, etc.); however, it's a few minutes drive from downtown Anchorage. The Dimond Center Mall is a neighborhood mall, and closes quite early, as do most of the restaurants surrounding the hotel. The Continental Breakfast was nice. The service could use some improvement, from the front desk staff to the housekeeping department. The staff should acknowledge guests' presence (i.e. eye contact) and needs to learn to acknowledge guests with friendliness and warmth. The only person that showed any friendliness towards the guests was Pumi.
Service is improving
My first experience at this hotel was terrible having been left stranded at the airport, then poor front desk service. Since then I have stayed here several times and each time it seems to be getting better. The rooms are by far the nicest in Anchorage. Huge tubs, beautiful slate bathroom, big plush beds, nice size tv, microwave, fridge, and my wife likes the Aveeda bath products. I would still be wary of the shuttle but this last time I stayed the shuttle was going to be a few minutes late so they just paid a cab to take us. I'd still like the breakfast situation to be improved. yeah, you can make your own waffles, but there seems to be little else. It's always very busy in the tiny breakfast room. I hope things continue to improve because it could become the best in town.
Wouldn't recommend, there are much better choices
We were not impressed with the Dimond Center Hotel, and were somewhat misled from their literature and reservationist. The "great shopping" that surrounds them consists of a Wal-Mart, Sams Club, some auto dealerships, and some chain restaurants and stores. The Dimond Center Mall next door is okay, but after venturing downtown, we realized the mistake we made. The Dimond Center Hotel is in midtown, but all of the excitement, tour attractions, and business services are downtown. The hotel's staff was inconsistent and sometimes rude, and even though this is a newer hotel, it has obviously been run down by some of the questionable clientele they have staying there. There are much better hotel options available in Anchorage, and this part of town is nothing special.
I have always been happy with the dimond center hotel in the past, however, my past visit has changed my mind. The ladies working the front counter did not have good customer service skills and used inappropropriate language with us. Our room did not get cleaned that day. When I called the front desk the same ladies that were working the night before said they would bring us sheets etc. We waited an hour and they still didn't show. In addition, my husband and I found a slip of paper in the sheets the day after we slept in the bed, which shows that they didn't change the sheets before we checked in.
Choose the Dimond Hotel
Definitely recommend it. Very convenient to other parts of Anchorage because it's just off the Seward Highway. The room was very comfortable. The lighting was fine. The bed was awesome, as was the soaking tub and big TV. It was nice to have a shower as well. Breakfast bar wasn't big, but had a good variety of pretty healthy alternatives to the Belgian waffles. The staff was very helpful in straightening out a billing problem at checkout. The only problem I had was finding it, because it is tucked behind the Dimond Center mall, off of major (busy) roads.
Great Place to Stay
The hotel is easy to get to from the airport although difficult to see from the road because it is behind a mall. The beds are wonderful. They are very comfortable plus they had down comforters. Very clean and staff was helpful. It was a good value.
Great Place to Stay!!
I have stayed at this hotel several times and think that it is one of the best to stay at while I am in Anchorage. Everyone goes out of their way to make your stay very pleasant!!
I have stayed here once and really liked everything! The staff is courteous and go out of their way to make you feel at home. I stayed there shortly after they opened and the lighting for the rooms were terrible. I have been told that new lamps etc were in place. Other than that, you could not have a better place to be close to shopping, movies, airport. The beds are sooo comfortable, the large tub is awesome and you can open the "shutters" into the bedroom and watch the huge 36" tv from the tub. The down comforters are so comfy and cozy. Nice breakfast bar in the mornings. Ask the staff for assistance for rides to local hospitals and downtown mall, they go out of their way to accomodate you.

After Viktor left the rubble of his old laboratory, he sent chem-augmented thugs to raid Jayce's lab for more shards of the hextech crystal. When they failed, Viktor decided it would be best to forget about Jayce, and instead moved on to other projects that could help bring about his glorious evolution.
Why did Viktor and Jayce become enemies?
Jayce was more idealistic and wanted to push the bounds of science for the sake of progress. Viktor however, was more focused on using science to weed out human error, and his more questionable methods and philosophies were the source of great debate between him and Jayce.
Why does Viktor hate Jayce?
Jayce has already been described as a little bit egotistical (according to Viktor, he signed every page of his research notes), so it isn't that far of a stretch to believe that all the praise would go to his head.
What is wrong with Viktor in Arcane?
Viktor was born with a limp in his right leg and was forced to walk around with a cane. This made it difficult for him to play with the other children, but despite his solitude and physical weakness, the young boy was brilliant and inventive, with a knack for constructing machines on the days he spent alone.
What does Jayce do to Viktor?
Jayce reported the incident to the college masters, and Viktor was censured for violating basic human dignity - though, in his eyes, his work would have saved many lives. He was expelled from the college, and retreated to his old laboratory in Zaun, disgusted by the narrow-minded perceptions of Piltover's inhabitants.
JAYCE's Arc is IRON MAN 1 (But TRAGIC) | Arcane MCU Theory
Who saved Jayce as a kid?
Young Jayce gets saved from a blizzard by Ryze | Netflix's Arcane Ep.
Who does Jayce love in Arcane?
Eventually Mel became Jayce's confidant and Jayce confided in her about his personal and professional issues. The two fell in love with each other and became lovers. Jayce held Mel in high regard and felt nothing was impossible with Mel by his side.
Why did Victor turn evil?
Thus, while he is an idealist at heart, Viktor does not tolerate failure, and anything he sees as an imperfection in himself or in others is a weakness that must be removed. When Viktor believed that his emotions were holding back his research, he simply removed them by operating on himself, leaving him more robotic.
Did Silco love Jinx?
The artists behind the show *meant* for the viewers to understand that Silco loves Jinx and comes to realise she's as good as a “daughter” to him and that she matters more than his dreams of Zaun.
What does Viktor turn into?
Having defied the Dean of the Piltover Academy, Heimerdinger, earlier on, and threatened by him to destroy the Hextech Core, Viktor ends up turning to Singed, the mad scientist rejected by Piltover.
Why is Viktor so strong?
Viktor as considered the strongest of Vampires because he arguably had the most “battlefield” experience as a warrior.
Is Viktor evil in lol lore?
Viktor in League of Legends is often described as an anti-hero rather than an outright villain. However, some players perceive him as a man who wants to serve society but will take the dark path if necessary. Viktor, also known as The Machine Herald, will use any method to achieve his goals.
Is Jayce older than Viktor?
Relationship status: Married to his work. Viktor stands a little shorter than Jayce, putting him at around 5 feet, 10 inches. As both are the same age (around their mid-20s) in the first part of Arcane, they should both be in their 30s by Act 2.
Did Silco sleep with Jinx?
Make no mistake, there is no sexual relationship between Silco and Jinx, but her mannerisms toward him say otherwise. In Act 2 episode E: Happy progress day!
Why does Silco inject his eye?
Despite this, he couldn't bring himself to forgive Vander for his actions and began to plot his revenge against his former friend. His injures also never fully healed and as a result, he was forced to periodically inject medicine into his left eye in order to keep his illness from going out of control.
Why did Vander betray Silco?
Vander saw the path Silco was on, and realized the only way to stop him destroying everything around him on his quest for respect was to kill him. His failure to do so sending them both down oppositions paths, coming back together dramatically at a point far past rejection for either of them.
Is Viktor a good or bad guy Arcane?
Viktor is most definetly a villain. But he is not a bad guy. One of the best examples of an Anti-Villain i know of. He turns people into emotionless machines.
Is Victor Timely evil?
Unlike previous versions of Kang, Victor Timely is unaware of his infinite potential, making him an interesting antagonist. Fans should be cautious as Timely has the potential to become a feared antagonist in the Marvel Cinematic Universe's post- Loki is available for streaming on Disney+.
Is Victor a villain or a hero?
In Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus by Mary Shelley, Doctor Victor Frankenstein stands out as neither a hero nor a villain; he is something in between. Some actions of Doctor Victor Frankenstein are heroic, while some of his deeds are heinous.
Who is Caitlyn lover in Arcane?
[spoilers ep6] It was Caitlyn who fell in love with Vi.
Is Caitlyn in love with Vi?
Vi and Caitlyn want to be there for one another, and it's the circumstances of their plight that leads them to fall in love, and that's a really beautiful thing to see in an adaptation I expected to be straight as an arrow.
Is Caitlyn In love With Jayce?
Young Cait was probably attracted by the highly smart and handsome Jayce but then she simply grew up and lost her interest for him.
Who is Jayce's father?
Jayce's father, Audric, worked to create a plant that would feed the world, but just as he succeeded, radiation changed his creation into plants with evil brains that use up the minerals and water of the planets. Audric then developed a good plant to destroy the evil ones.
Is that ryze in Arcane?
The Rune Mage Ryze looks a lot different in Arcane than in League. He appears during a desperate moment between Jayce and his mother in Episode 2, creating an important and stark debt that may require swift repayment one day.
How does Jayce know Caitlyn?
Jayce and Caitlyn have a close friendship. Since her parents were Jayce's sponsors who financially supported him in his researches at the academy, Caitlyn knows him since she was a child and usually helped him with his studio and materials.

Fifth and 6th grade students at Clear Spring have been studying Canada as part of their current project in North American Geography. We worked on clocks in the shape of maple leaves with the colors from the Canadian Flag. The students used cut paper to make templates for scroll sawing 1/4" Baltic birch plywood to shape. They used woodburners to do the lettering and then used markers to apply the red color. Some of the clocks were intricately decorated, and since the teacher Andrea had a Maple leaf clock from when we did the project two years ago, she made her clock as a map of Canada, with all the small islands outlined with the wood burner. Real objects often provide better remembrance of learning than written notes. Kurtis said as he left the woodshop, "Now I will have a clock in my room!" Next week we start making pyramid boxes shaped like the stepped pyramids made by the Mayans in Mexico.

A frequent cause for the contention when it comes to comic books and graphic novels has been the age-old, yet incorrect, idea that all comics are for children. In this light, it is not hard to discern why books featuring even brief glimpses of nudity have been challenged, including Maurice Sendak’s In the Night Kitchen, Daniel Clowes’ Ice Haven, and Akira Toriyama’s Dragon Ball series.
In the Night Kitchen
Released in the early 1970’s, In the Night Kitchen features several nude illustrations of Mickey, the male, child protagonist of Sendak’s book. Some libraries banned the book, while other librarians, seeking a compromise that would prevent controversy and keep the book on the shelves, painted diapers or underwear over Mickey’s genitals.
Sendak’s editor, Ursula Nordstrom, sent a letter to a librarian who had actually burned their library’s copy of In the Night Kitchen:
I am indeed distressed to hear that in the year 1972 you burned a copy of a book. We are truly distressed that you think it is not a book for elementary school children. I assume it is the little boy’s nudity which bothers you. But truly, it does not disturb children! […] I think young children will always react with delight to such a book as In the Night Kitchen, and that they will react creatively and wholesomely. It is only adults who ever feel threatened by Sendak’s work.
In a press release, Nordstrom decried the addition of diapers to cover Mickey’s nudity:
At first the thought of librarians painting diapers or pants on the naked hero of Sendak’s book might seem amusing, merely a harmless eccentricity on the part of a prim few. On reconsideration, however, this behavior should be recognized for what it is: an act of censorship by mutilation rather than by obvious suppression.
Three decades later, nudity caused Toriyama’s Dragon Ball series to come under fire after a parent objected to their nine-year old child checking out a copy of Dragon Ball: The Monkey King. According to WBOC:
There were concerns expressed that the books, which school officials later learned were intended for young adults, depict some violence and show nudity. Because of the concerns, school officials began the process of removing the book from media center shelves for review. “Dragon Ball” series books at Pittsville Elementary and Middle School and Parkside High School were removed from media center shelves for a committee review as required by procedures and policy.
The publisher of Dragon Ball recommends the books for ages 13 and up, revealing that even when a publisher tells a library not to allow a particular book to be borrowed by children, not all libraries, organizations, and parents will pay attention:
The committee recommended that the books in the Dragon Ball series, which were recommended by the publisher for ages 13+, be removed from the entire public school library system, including at the high school level. School officials acknowledged the value of graphic novels in their libraries, and indicated that they would embark on “instituting more focused and ongoing professional development training on the selection of media materials and additional procedures to handle student requests for media books and resources.”
While books, libraries, artists, and publishers can expect to be targets of challenges, there are times when other people become embroiled in a challenge. Such is the case with Nate Fisher, a high school teacher in Guilford, Connecticut, who lost his job in 2008 for loaning a student a copy of Dan Clowes’ comic book, Eightball #22 (later published as Ice Haven), which contained nudity.
When a transfer student arrived at school without having the opportunity to perform her summer reading assignment, Fisher gave her the option of choosing a book from his classroom library to read over the Labor Day weekend to make up for the missing work. The student chose the Clowes book. Fisher approved the choice, but warned the student that it contained mature content. Clowes’ book contains profanity, course language and brief non-sexual nudity.
The student’s parents objected to the book being assigned and immediately filed complaints with the school and the Guilford police department, which opened a criminal investigation. The parents also went to local media and alleged that the teacher gave their child a pornographic comic, insinuating a potential predatory motive. Fisher was placed on administrative leave and resigned a week later. Ultimately, no criminal charges were brought against Fisher, but he suffered dire consequences at the hands of censors.
Given their visual nature, graphic novels and comic books are among the most-challenged books in libraries and schools.

- More than 400 veteran cars expected to take part in total with 114 international entries
- Gatwick to offer spectators vouchers for free tea and coffee plus rare photograph opportunity with veteran car
- Gatwick sponsorship also provides economic boost for businesses on Crawley High Street
GATWICK, UK, 2018-Nov-05 — /Travel PR News/ — Gatwick’s partnership with the Bonham’s London to Brighton Veteran Car Run – supported by Hiscox – brings the event to Crawley High Street for the third year in a row and will help support town centre businesses by encouraging thousands of residents and visitors to attend.
The Veteran Car Run will see around 400 veteran cars make the journey down to the south coast and Gatwick will be providing spectators in Crawley High Street with a rare opportunity to have their photograph taken behind the wheel of a static veteran car.
Visitors to the event this Sunday 4 November will also receive vouchers for free tea and coffee. Drivers of the veteran cars will also be offered travel sweets and Gatwick branded seat cushions as they pass by the airport’s stand.
Crawley residents play a vital role keeping the airport open and running 24 hours a day with around a third of the 24,000 workforce on the airport living in and around the town.
Gatwick also plays an important role supporting the local economy and provides a £2.7 billion contribution to regional GDP and supports around 40,000 jobs across the region.
Proposals set out recently in Gatwick’s draft master plan would not only protect these existing jobs, but could also potentially generate a further 8,000 on-airport jobs and £2 billion of economic benefit.
The event is taking place on Sunday 4 November with the first cars due to arrive in Crawley High Street at around 8.15 am and the last car leaving around 1.45 pm.
Gatwick Airport’s Community Engagement Manager, Melanie Wrightson, said:
“We are proud to once again be partnering with the Bonhams Veteran Car Run supported by Hiscox, in what is sure to be another exciting event for everyone participating and spectating.
“Our sponsorship is part of Gatwick’s community engagement programme which allows us to share some of the benefits the airport generates with our local communities. Our new draft master plan has some exciting proposals to grow the airport so that we can continue offering these benefits, and 8,000 new on-airport jobs, to local communities for generations to come.”
Miles Wade, Chairman of the Veteran Car Run Steering Group Committee commented:
“We are delighted that London Gatwick is joining us for the third year running, they really bring the spectator and participant experiences alive at Crawley High Street.
