Gold likely to fall to Rs 23,000-level within a month: Experts

Published On : 26 Jul 2015

Mumbai, July 26, 2015, (PTI): Gold prices are expected to drop to a low of Rs 23,000 per 10 gm on continuing worries over interest rate hike by Federal Reserve and stronger US dollar, analysts say.

"The gold remains bearish and the prices are likely to decline to Rs 23,000-23,500 per 10 grams in a week to month time. This is mainly because the market is nervous of the outcome before July 29, when the US Federal Reserve will take a decision on rate hike. Whatever the decision, it will be negative for gold," Commtrendz Research Director Gnanasekar Thiagarajan told PTI here.
The gold MCX on Saturday was at Rs 24,752 per 10 grams and USD 1,097.50 in international market.

With the US Federal Reserve hiking the rates looking imminent, the question now is by how much and when, which is keeping the market volatile till a final decision is taken, he added.

In international markets the prices are likely to weaken to USD 1,020 an ounce in a week or month, he said adding, however, it may crack below USD 1,000-level.
Back home, however, the prices of gold will be cushioned if the rupee weakens against the US dollar.

At present, there is demand from stockists, who are gearing up for the coming festivals, even as the retail demand has declined, he said.

Echoing similar views, Angel Broking Associate Director, Commodities and Currencies, Naveen Mathur said the prices are likely to be in the range between Rs 23,500-24,000 by the end of December.

Similarly, the prices in the international market will be around 1,050 an ounce by the end of the year.

"This is mainly due to weak fundamentals like stronger US dollar, decline in investment demand, lack of physical demand. All this is in anticipation of Federal Reserve hiking the rates," he added.

Moreover, he said, as an asset class gold has lost its status as a safe haven.

According to India Bullion and Jewellers Association (IBJA) president Mohit Khamboj during the last week, gold witnessed a steep fall in the prices to USD 1,085 from USD 1,140 in the international market.

In the domestic market, the prices have fallen from a high of Rs 34,000 per 10 grams to a low of Rs 24,700, losing more than 27 per cent, in a span of nine months.
The prices, he said, may go down further to Rs 23,500 with China offloading the yellow metal from its reserves to withstand the current economic crisis.

"Demand in the domestic market had declined by 10-15 per cent and in the coming festive season, beginning with Raksha Bandhan in August, it may go down by 40 per cent, he added.

However, P N Gadgil Jewellers Chairman and managing Director Saurabh Gadgil said there is lot of demand for raw gold and some people are pre-ordering their orders for wedding jewellery.

"Even if the footfalls are not high, still there is a demand for raw gold and wedding jewellery as people are pre-ordering their orders due to decline in prices. Also jewellers are stocking up now for the India International Jewellery Show in August and the festival season. I feel the decline in gold price is favourable for jewellers at the moment," he said.

The prices will definitely go up in a couple of months and the industry is expecting a good Diwali this year, he added.

Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) gp120 induces multiple cellular signaling pathways like

Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) gp120 induces multiple cellular signaling pathways like the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3-kinase) pathway. didn’t induce cell toxicity or downregulate HIV-1 coreceptor manifestation. When gp120-induced signaling was bypassed using the vesicular stomatitis disease G envelope proteins disease was still delicate to PI3-kinase inhibition recommending that basal PI3-kinase activity SB 202190 is necessary for disease. LY294002 SB 202190 inhibited HIV-1 disease when added after viral admittance and didn’t affect formation from the HIV-1 invert transcriptase items R/U5 and lengthy terminal do it again/Gag in the current presence of the inhibitor. But when the inhibitor was added after viral integration got happened no Rabbit polyclonal to INPP4A. inhibition of HIV disease was noticed. Our studies also show that inhibition from the PI3-kinase signaling pathway suppresses disease disease post-viral admittance and post-reverse SB 202190 transcription but ahead of HIV gene manifestation. This sort of host-virus discussion offers implications for anti-HIV therapeutics that focus on mobile signaling machinery. Human being immunodeficiency disease type 1 (HIV-1) can activate multiple signaling pathways within a focus on cell to facilitate viral admittance and replication. Several sign transduction pathways could be triggered during engagement from the HIV-1 envelope with Compact disc4 and/or the chemokine coreceptor. Binding to Compact disc4 causes phosphorylation of receptor tyrosine kinases such as for example p56Lck which activate the Raf/MEK/ERK and phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3-kinase) pathways and indirectly activate calcium mineral stations (6 15 33 34 38 The chemokine receptor can be combined to G-proteins which with regards to the subunit structure can activate adenyl cyclase proteins tyrosine kinases such as for example Pyk2 and phospholipase C which catalyzes the forming of inositol 1 4 5 consequently opening calcium mineral channels for the endoplasmic reticulum (evaluated in referrals 18 and 37). Because these pathways eventually regulate features such as for example cytoskeletal rearrangement cell success differentiation and activation of transcription HIV gp120-induced sign transduction may facilitate disease disease. Previously HIV signaling through the chemokine receptor continues to be regarded as dispensable for infection. Under conditions where signaling through the CCR5 receptor is blocked either by mutagenesis or G-protein inactivation with pertussis toxin tumor cells are still capable of supporting viral entry and replication (3 21 However the phenotypes and functions of these tumor cell lines differ from those of the primary targets of HIV infection in vivo primary macrophages and CD4+ lymphocytes so the requirements for infection differ substantially. Only a relatively small fraction of T cells are productively infected in HIV-positive patients despite the presence of the relevant receptors and activation of CD4+ T cells is critical for efficient viral reverse transcription and replication in these cells SB 202190 (29). Although HIV-1 entry can occur in quiescent T cells there is a preintegration postentry block in replication (8). In addition signaling through chemokine receptors by their natural ligands SB 202190 can enhance or suppress HIV replication in T cells and macrophages (12 27 28 Recent studies suggest that signal transduction by HIV envelope glycoprotein gp120 may affect host cell susceptibility to virus entry and infection in primary cells (2 4 10 11 23 In the case of HIV-1 only viruses competent to induce signaling through the CCR5 coreceptor are able to establish productive infection within macrophages (4). Primary viral isolates and laboratory-adapted strains with gp120 envelopes that do not induce calcium mobilization enter macrophages but are unable to complete replication. This postentry block can be overcome by stimulating signaling through CCR5 with its natural ligand MIP-1α. In addition perturbation of coreceptor signaling with pertussis toxin markedly decreases infection of peripheral blood mononuclear cells with CXCR4-utilizing (X4) and CCR5-utilizing (R5) HIV-1 viruses (2 23 It has been proposed that coreceptor function is important for both entry and postentry SB 202190 events during HIV infection (9). A role for the Raf/MEK/ERK pathway has been demonstrated for nuclear import of the HIV reverse transcriptase complex (7) and in NF-κB-driven transcription from the HIV long terminal repeat promoter (34). The role of PI3-kinase signal transduction in HIV infection has not been fully studied. PI3-kinases are a cellular family of.

In Response To: FacePalmer Comic Predictions (ZaneZavin2)

I only played, like, 4 missions of Spartan Ops. But these backstories ALWAYS have a killed boyfriend/girlfriend/spouse.

In this comic we will learn who Palmer's dead boyfriend or love interest was, and how he was killed, and thus her abrasive personality will turn from a negative trait to a pitiable one.

Audi R8 4.2 FSI S-tronic first drive review

Posted: 22 Jan 2013 04:01 AM PST

Audi R8 facelift brings a dual-clutch gearbox option to Audi's junior supercar If you're one of our UK readers, it has probably not escaped your notice that this week has not provided the optimum conditions in which to test a new variant of a junior supercar. Still, things on these shores were always thus, and if ever there was a mini-exotic which can deal with, y'know, winter and that, it's the Audi R8. Yes, the engine is in the middle and the Audi comes on 235/35 R19 front and 295/30 R19 tyres, but the R8 has quattro four-wheel drive and at least we've driven one on snow and ice before, when Autocar ran a V10 long-termer.That car was fitted with a manual transmission, which was just as well because the first-generation R8's two-pedal alternative – a single-clutch automated manual – was a bit of a sluggard. It was fine on a track if you were going flat out, when it pushed through changes acceptably (albeit with a jolt) at high revs, but its lack of smoothness didn't seem half so clever on the road. Of the changes made to the R8 for its mid-life facelift, the most significant, then, is the ditching the automated manual gearbox option in favour of a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic. At £2900, it's also 40 per cent cheaper than the old auto option, yet, conversely, it is a lot more than 40 per cent better.

Autocar Magazine 23 January preview

Posted: 22 Jan 2013 03:03 AM PST

Jaguar saloon scoop; new Mazda 6 road tested; Porsche 944 buying guide; 50 ideas that will change motoring in 2013; premium estate mega-test

This week's Autocar magazine is led by a four-page exclusive on the new baby Jaguar saloon under development. Described by company boss Adrian Hallmark as a "BMW 3-series with a twist", we uncover the technical secrets that give rise to his confidence in a cut-throat section of the market.

The special issue also features 32 new cars, all of which were unveiled at the Detroit motor show. Among the biggest stories are the latest updates for the upcoming Honda NSX; a first look at the Nissan Resonance, which previews the look of the next Nissan Qashqai and Juke crossovers; insight into Toyota's drive to add excitement to its styling and the full details on Mercedes' mooted plans to build an Audi A1 supermini rival.

The new Mazda 6 is subjected to our eight-page road test, emerging with great credit, while our first drives section includes a UK test of the updated but still mighty Audi R8, our first run in Britain in the brilliant Ford Fiesta 1.0 Ecoboost, first impressions of the bigger but more expensive Skoda Octavia, plus drives in the diminutive but impressive Fiat Panda 4x4 and decently frugal Honda Civic 1.6 diesel.

Our features section stars an estate mega-test, with the new breed of style-led cars fronted by the Mercedes CLS Shooting Brake and Jaguar XF Sportbrake, and the old guard represented by the BMW 5-series Touring and Audi A6 Allroad. They're four cars with very different approaches to the same job, but which is best overall?

We also have an 11-page special feature outlining 50 ideas that will change motoring in 2013. Among the highlights are new car launches such as the Jaguar F-Type and Mazda MX-5, new technology including in-board electric wheel motors and nine-speed gearboxes and influential people including AMG's Ola Kallenius and Anand Mahindra, who is on the verge of buying in to mainstream car manufacturing. Let us know your thoughts on whether we've chosen the correct 50 by emailing

Our long-term test fleet welcomes a BMW M135i, while we also feature updates on our Jaguar XKR-S, Hyundai i30 and Aston Martin Vantage V8.

Used car buyers can delight in our Porsche 944 buying guide, or take James Ruppert's advice and buy an economical 'green' car not just to save the planet, but also to protect their residual values.

Autocar magazine is available through all good newsagents, and available to download from Zinio and the Apple iTunes store.

McLaren P1 shows off its underside

Posted: 22 Jan 2013 02:51 AM PST

Images show McLaren P1's high-tech underbody aerodynamics for the first time

Potential buyers of the forthcoming McLaren P1 have been given a preview of the car at a private event in Los Angeles, where these pictures were taken as the car was hoisted into the hotel location.

The images reveal some of the P1's complex underbody aerodynamics with what looks like a flat underside made entirely from carbonfibre, and two enormous twin diffuser outlets at the rear. A double diffuser also has a pair of inlets under the car to control airflow more efficiently.

The P1's active aero kit is rumoured to include active flaps in the front of the car, ahead of the front wheels. These will open and close to influence airflow under the car depending on its speed.

Much of the car's exterior is designed to maximise airflow through the vehicle to improve cooling, hence the enormous intakes behind the doors. It is also likely to feature air pumps to push air over areas of the car, and adjustable ride height for track use to improve downforce.

McLaren will reveal the production P1 at the Geneva motor show in March. The finished vehicle is expected to look identical to this "design study" but the interior, hidden by the blacked-out windows, will be visible.

The myth about four-wheel lateral drive

Posted: 22 Jan 2013 02:29 AM PST

If you think you have more cornering grip because you drive a 4WD, think again

You can see the air of superiority on the faces of just about all drivers of 4WD vehicles in this weather, be they Range Rover or Suzuki Jimny drivers. And in one specific sense the owners of 4WDs are right to feel better endowed to deal with the conditions than the rest of us.

Because any four wheel-drive vehicle does indeed generate better traction than its two wheel-drive equivalent, on all surfaces and in all conditions but never more so than when it snows. But more cornering grip outright? Not necessarily.

How so? Lateral grip, in other words the sort that your vehicle generates when it is cornering, is completely different from traction, yet more often than not the average 4WD driver fails, I suspect, to realise the difference between the two.

Bottom line; on any surface but especially on snow, you can get going and you can develop far better traction and initial acceleration in a 4WD than you can in a 2WD vehicle, but when you reach a corner you will NOT be able to get round it any faster. Which means you are every bit as likely to fall off the road once you've got going in a 4WD than you are in a 2WD.

This is because, despite its better traction, a 4WD vehicle develops no more lateral grip than its 2WD equivalent once you are in a steady state of cornering – even though it will generate more traction on the way out.

What does make a massive difference to lateral grip in conditions such as we have now are the tyres you choose to drive on, and the tyres that the average heavy duty 4WD – such as a Land Rover – comes fitted with as standard compared with a more conventional road car. Winter tyres, or better still proper off-road tyres like those of a fully tooled-up Land Rover, are a hugely more significant factor in snow than the ability to send drive to all four wheels, in my opinion.

I'd even argue that a big, heavy, luxury 4WD that's riding on big, fat summer tyres is actually a far less effective tool overall in snow than a small 2WD car fitted with winter tyres. Not merely because it won't generate as much grip in corners than the winter-tyred 2WD car will, but because it will take MUCH longer to stop in as well.

So, the next time you see that mildly smug expression on the face of the person driving the Range Rover that's just blundered past you in the snow, believing that they're invincible, just remember; in reality they're just as likely to fall off at the next corner as you. And at 2.5 tonnes they'll be far less able to stop for something unpredictable that may be lurking half way round that next corner. And their repair bill will be 20 times higher than yours.

Nissan Juke Nismo: first drive review

Posted: 22 Jan 2013 12:44 AM PST

Nissan's motorsport wing breathes on the Nissan Juke with pleasing results Another success story for the UK car industry: a new kind of hot hatch we can lay claim to as our own. The Nissan Juke Nismo is the go-faster performance version of the smash-hit supermini-sized crossover. More than a third of a million Jukes have been built at Nissan's Sunderland plant (now officially the largest car plant this country has ever seen) since 2010, and now the plant has a flagship performance model to produce.The Juke Nismo is not just built in Britain; a significant amount of design and development for the model has taken place here, with Nissan's Paddington design studio and Cranfield technical centre assisting Nissan and Nismo engineers in Japan.The result of this collaboration is a 197bhp 1.6-litre turbocharged petrol-powered Juke, with a host of revisions to the chassis and exterior and interior styling to make it worthy of the hallowed Nismo badge.That Nismo badge also needs an introduction. Short for Nissan Motorsports, Nismo has been tuning Nissans and producing highly successful factory race cars for the best part of 50 years and has become enshrined in popular culture thanks to its presence in the Gran Turismo video games, the first of which appeared in 1997.The thinking behind taking Nismo global now with volume products rather than high-performance niche models or aftermarket upgrades is that the Playstation generation has now grown up and, as now as a 20/30-something with a disposable income, has the funds to buy a car of their own, and a £19,995 compact crossover take on the hot hatch formula seems a good place to start for Nismo.

Nissan 370Z Nismo revealed

Posted: 21 Jan 2013 12:20 PM PST

Nissan 370Z Nismo gets more powerful engine and aero upgrades; on sale this summer

Nissan has revealed its latest Nismo-tuned model, the Nissan 370Z Nismo.

The Nissan 370Z coupe is set to go on sale in the summer with a host of modifications aimed at making it a more focused performance tool.

The 3.7-litre V6 engine's power output has been improved from 324bhp to 335bhp, with torque also said to have been improved by an equivalent amount. In addition, torque will arrive lower down the rev range than in the standard car. No performance claims have been made, but throttle response is said to be improved.

An aerodynamic bodykit has been fitted to the model; it is said to allow the 370Z Nismo to produce as much downforce as a Nissan GT-R.

A large rear diffuser with twin integrated exhausts, fixed rear wing, wider side skirts and a new front end with a splitter are also among the aerodynamic styling changes.

New 19in alloys are fitted with wider 245/40 tyres at the front and 285/35s at the rear. A bespoke tyre compound has been created by Bridgestone for the model.

The Nismo 370Z sits 10mm lower than the standard car, and has updated springs and dampers for a firmer, more focused and more involving drive. Bigger brakes also feature.

Interior upgrades include special Nismo sports seats, an Alcantara-wrapped steering wheel and new red and black trim.

Nissan has also confirmed a hotter version of the Nissan Juke Nismo.

Government takes hands off approach to electric car growth

Posted: 21 Jan 2013 10:20 AM PST

Coalition maintains it doesn't need to get involved with charging infrastructure

The Government has rejected suggestions from a Commons select committee to improve the uptake and perception of electric cars in the UK. In a response to the Transport Select Committee's report Plug-in Vehicles, Plugged in Policy?, the Government maintains that it is not necessary to establish targets for electric vehicle sales and that it is not the job of government to standardise charging points, connections and payment schemes.

Currently there are multiple charging schemes and connectors in use across the UK and Europe, and users of the Government's Plugged in Places charging scheme have to register before using schemes in their area. Not all of the eight Plugged in Places schemes across the country are compatible.

Among the Select Committee's recommendations were requests for the Government to explain how it will standardise the infrastructure used for plug-in vehicles, including the physical connections and the financial aspects to make it easier for drivers.

In its response, the Government said that while it sees "there are advantages to a single recharging plug solution… it is our stance that it is for the market and industry to decide what charging hardware and infrastructure will be."

In the report's conclusion, the Committee recommended that the Government "sets targets for the number of plug-in cars it expects to see on the road" by the next spending review. The Committee said this would enable the Government to assess the success of its low carbon vehicle strategy.

But the Government disagrees, citing the uncertainty over what it calls "market penetration" of electric vehicles as a barrier to setting targets.

The Committee also asked for clarification over the Government's decision to increase the company car tax rate for low emission vehicles from 2015, a move that was met with disappointment from Vauxhall, Toyota and the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders.

The Committee said that this would create instability in the market, although the Government responded by saying tax issues were a matter for the Treasury, and that there were "continuing discussions within Government… to ensure that the fiscal regime supports the Government's growth and environmental framework."

Ford Fiesta ST to cost from £16,995

Posted: 21 Jan 2013 09:31 AM PST

Ford has announced the Fiesta ST will cost £16,995, while the upscale ST-2 will attract a £1000 premium

The Ford Fiesta ST will cost from £16,995 when it arrives in showrooms at the end of March.

Base-trim ST models are fitted with 17in alloy wheels, ST-style front foglights, cloth-trimmed Recaro sports seats and a Ford DAB radio as standard.

ST-2 models, which are priced at £17,995, feature LED daytime running lights, tinted glass, half-leather Recaro seats, keyless entry and an upgraded Sony DAB radio.

The Fiesta ST will be available only as a three-door model in European markets, but the hot hatchback will be offered in a five-door configuration in North America.

The ST will be powered by a 1.6-litre EcoBoost four-cylinder petrol engine developing 180bhp. With an overboost function, torque peaks at 214lb ft. The engine is mated to a six-speed manual transmission. Ford says there are no plans to introduce an automatic variant.

Hotter Nissan Juke Nismo confirmed

Posted: 21 Jan 2013 08:59 AM PST

Nissan has confirmed a more focused performance derivative of its Juke Nismo

A hotter Nissan Juke Nismo is in the pipeline, the company has confirmed. The new model will offer improved performance, a more focused chassis and upgraded brakes.

The Juke Nismo's 1.6-litre turbocharged engine will be tuned to develop around 20bhp more than the standard Nismo's 197bhp, while torque will be increased by 20 per cent to around 220lb ft.

Read our Nissan Juke Nismo first drive

A revised suspension set-up will be fitted, with different springs, shock absorbers and damping rates. The car will sit 20mm lower than the standard Juke Nismo.

The hotter Juke Nismo will be offered in front-wheel drive with a manual transmission, while four-wheel drive will be reserved for CVT-equipped models.

Nissan describes the positioning of the two Nismo models as similar to the Mini Countryman Cooper S to its JCW siblings. The new car is tipped to be on sale by the end of the year.

The expansion of the Nismo range will continue with a more hardcore derivative of the 370Z, the Nissan 370Z Nismo, which will also offer more power, a revised chassis setup and specific body modifications.

Sometimes it is preferable to coast through life

Posted: 21 Jan 2013 08:30 AM PST

The Volkswagen CC on Autocar's long-term fleet is fitted with a coasting function for extra frugality. It is interesting to examine how it works

The mileage of the Volkswagen CC on our long-term test fleet has fairly shot up in recent weeks, and a surprising number of those miles have been covered in neutral (or something approximating it).

That's because the CC's dual-clutch gearbox has a fuel-saving coasting function – a feature that's found on an increasing number of DSG-equipped diesel-engined Volkswagens. It's an interesting development (at least, it is to me), and one that's worthy of some discussion. So here goes.

The coasting function declutches the engine when the throttle is lifted, which means that the car is free from the momentum-hungry shackles of engine braking (such as it is with a modern common-rail diesel) on the overrun. Now, before you write in and say that today's engines have an overrun fuel cut-off which shuts off the fuel supply on a closed throttle, and that an engine coasting on tickover with the gearbox disengaged actually uses more fuel than one coasting in gear on a closed throttle, well, apparently it doesn't.

In short, when you lift off you end up travelling much farther before you have to get back on it, and the subsequent fuel savings outweigh whatever is burnt on tickover while coasting. Touch the throttle or brake while coasting, or move the gear selector from D to its manual shift position, and the gear re-engages. The coasting function can also be disabled via the onboard menu settings, or overridden by keeping manual control over the gearchanges.

But coasting is bad, because you're not fully in control of the car, right? Well, I've thought about this and I'm not so sure. If by 'not in control' you mean that the car slows less than you're used to when you lift off, then perhaps so, but you quickly get used to managing the space in front of you to compensate. Broadly speaking, the rear wheels of a conventional front-wheel-drive car are no more corrupted by a loss of engine braking than the front wheels of a rear-drive car are, so what's the problem?

It's not perfect, though. When you get back on the throttle the engine rev-matches to road speed before engaging the clutch. At low speeds this is barely noticeable, but at 70mph the engine has to spin from 850rpm (tickover) to 2050rpm; at 80mph it has to get to 2350rpm, which can feel like forever. I've quickly learned when to knock the gear selector to its manual position to prevent the coasting function from kicking in when not wanted. Similarly, when pressing on along a twisting B-road, it's best to give coasting a miss if you want to maximise your interaction with the car and the road.

Still, the upshot is that the CC uses impressively little fuel for such a big car, especially on motorways flowing at 50-70mph. I'm averaging 52-53mpg on fast roads, with around-town use knocking the overall average to 48.8mpg. But it's creeping up. And this is the more powerful 168bhp 2.0 TDI, remember.

I could go on, but suffice to say I'm sure the matter is going to stir up some debate, and I'd love to hear your thoughts…

Dacia Sandero Stepway

Posted: 21 Jan 2013 07:42 AM PST

Sandero-based crossover offers greater value for money than its hatchback sibling, provided you're not going for a spartan entry-level model The Dacia Sandero Stepway is all about 'more for less'. Although a crossover by name, this jacked-up supermini stops short of the additional complication and expense of four-driven wheels.What it does offer, relative to the standard Sandero on which it's based, is ruggedised 4x4 styling, 40mm of additional ground clearance and a dose of extra standard equipment, all for little extra outlay. It's the kind of niche segment derivative that could end up out-selling its mainstream equivalent.You can count the ways in which this car differs from that equivalent on the fingers of one hand, and mostly from the far end of the car park. Plastic wheelarch extensions? Check. New bumpers with faux underbody protection plates? Check. Roof bars? Present. What isn't so obvious is that, on top of all that, Ambiance-spec Stepways come with fog lamps, body-coloured bumpers and mirrors and metallic paint included; the equivalent Sandero hatch doesn't.Differences on the inside are few and far between, besides some rubber floor mats and slightly different seat trims. The most important difference here is that, because the Stepway rides farther off the ground than the Sandero, it's easier to slide in and out of.The Stepway range is simpler than the Sandero's: there's no 74bhp 1.2-litre engine and no bog-basic Access trim. Which is why the £7995 entry price for an 89bhp three-cylinder petrol turbo, in Ambiance trim, only represents a £600 premium over the like-for-like hatchback. The 89bhp 1.5-litre dCi turbodiesel suits the functional flavour of the car much better, though.With CO2 emissions of 105g/km, it will save you £80 a year on your tax disc and, returning a real-world 50mpg, should better the petrol option on efficiency by a considerable margin.Performance will be modest regardless of which Stepway you plump for, but the greater mid-range torque of the turbodiesel makes it the easier, more tractable drive. While adequate, mechanical refinement is poorer than the supermini class average, with vibration detectable through the pedals and the bodyshell, in the diesel particularly. The light and baggy gearshift also speaks of Dacia's uncompromising, 'route one' approach to functionality.The Stepway's ride and handling are better. While its body rolls a little more through fast corners, there's very little outright grip sacrificed by the pseudo-offroader. Directional responsiveness is competitive, and steering feel is quite reasonable, too. Meanwhile, the additional ride height you get with your Stepway only seems to do good things for the operational effectiveness of what must be fairly rudimentary suspension components.The extra wheel travel adds compliance without giving up much in the way of control, and actually makes the Stepway a marginally more comfy car to travel in than the regular Sandero.All of which should lead anyone with a serious interest in buying into Renault's budget brand to one conclusion. Unless you plan on spending between £6000 and £7000 on the cheapest Sandero on the block, the Stepway's actually better value for money, easier to live with and has the broader range of ability.

First drive review: Fiat Panda 4x4 Multijet

Rolls-Royce Ghost coupé to be called Wraith - updated

Posted: 18 Jan 2013 02:45 AM PST

Geneva reveal for the new two-door model, which will be the fastest and most powerful Rolls-Royce in history

Rolls-Royce has named its forthcoming coupé version of the Ghost as Rolls-Royce Wraith. The model will be the most powerful in Rolls's history, and is set to be revealed at the Geneva motor show in March.

Speaking at a dealer conference in London this morning, Rolls CEO Torsten Müller-Ötvös said the Wraith would "draw superlatives" when it is revealed in Geneva.

"Expect the boldest design, the most dramatic performance and the most powerful Rolls-Royce that has ever played host to the famous Spirit of Ecstasy figurine," he said.

"We will present a model whose starting point is luxury, refinement and exclusivity, traits that have made Rolls-Royce the world's pinnacle luxury good for the last 108 years. This is a car not only defined by a timeless elegance, but one that encapsulates a sense of power, style and drama."

The Wraith name was first used by Rolls in 1938.

Insiders have previously revealed the Wraith will produce as much as 600bhp from its highly tuned twin-turbo 6.6-litre V12 engine. Torque will rise by a proportional amount over the engine's state of tune in the Ghost saloon, but insiders insist the famed Rolls refinement will be retained.

The Wraith will have a wheelbase around 180mm shorter than the Ghost's 3295mm, with an overall length of around 5200mm expected. The kerb weight is tipped to be around 2300kg.

Rolls has said it will release a series of teaser images of the Wraith in the build-up to its Geneva launch on 5 March.

Road to Valhalla 2013

Road to Valhalla is an annual event to raise money for Rose’s Rescue Animal Shelter organized and thrown by some Ohio boys that call themselves "The Spuds" (Kevin and Clint Spence, Jon Russell and Eric Ross). This was the second year for this event and it was bigger and better then the last. Where else can you get crazy wasted, camp, win some gnarly sponsors' goods, and do some fire surfing all while donating money that you were going to drink away anyway to help dogs get rescued.

The ride to the Iron Horse Saloon, which is located in Troy Township, was probably my favorite part of the whole day. I was so excited waiting for everyone to show up to my house and full with anticipation to get some riding shots of everyone. It was such a beautiful day and I couldn't have asked for a more exciting ride with the 15 of us to share. My adrenalin was pumping so much while shooting and riding on the highway. It felt like when I first learned to ride my motorcycle — scary, intimidating and damn fun!

On arriving to the Iron Horse Saloon we pulled in to the parking lot full of bikes where people of all ages congregated around us looking to see what new machines have arrived. Our Columbus friends rode in shortly after with all of them winning the fictitious award for “most break downs in a group in one trip”. Everything and anything you could think of had happened to those dudes that Saturday. I'm just glad everyone made it one piece. As the night fell, parts of it became hazy due to the 32oz. PBR cans that were floating around, but I do remember Bear from (Old Bike Barn) flying around the two bonfires on his bike, girls dumping em out, and some gnarly burnouts in the parking lot.

Overall the event was a ton of fun and "The Spuds" helped raise a lot of money to help out Rose's Dog Rescue. I love how this summer has been shaping out to be and I'm glad I could help support my friends’ good cause all while having fun on my motorcycle and partying with some of my favorite people. Make sure if you are near northern Ohio in late August to look up Road to Valhalla 2014, it's definitely a good time for a great cause!

If you would like to get involved with the show next year please contact Kevin Spence

CHS Healthcare and Lancashire Teaching Hospitals are joint finalists in prestigious HSJ Awards

Our hospital discharge service has received national recognition in the prestigious Health Service Journal Awards.

Together with Lancashire Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, we have been shortlisted in the acute sector innovation category.

There were more than 1,300 entries from 500 different organisations for the awards, which are recognised as the benchmark for healthcare excellence.

Our entry describes the personalised family support service we provide to families of hospital patients who are unable to return to their own homes and need to choose a care home.

Before our scheme, an audit showed it was taking an average of 16.2 days from the time a patient was fit for discharge to the time that patient was able to leave hospital. In other words, patients spent more than two weeks in hospital beyond the stage when acute care was of any clinical benefit.

The CHS Healthcare scheme has cut this delay (called DTOC: Delayed Transfer of Care) by ten days – average time taken to discharge is now an average of six days. With the focused, flexible support for families, care homes are chosen within just 48 hours.

Dr Richard Newland, chief executive of CHS Healthcare said: “The Trust recognised that families were struggling to make a choice of care homes and needed more support. We provide personalised family support – that means advisers can take family members to view homes, accompany them and ask questions. We have the resources of regular bed availability checks, care home portfolios and extensive knowledge, so we can help families to quickly focus on the most appropriate homes for their relative.

“In just one year, our service saved 5,203 inappropriate bed days, yielding an overall saving (subtracting the cost of the scheme) of £150,000.”

Winners of the HSJ Awards will be announced on November 19 at a ceremony at the Grosvenor House Hotel, London.

Alastair McLellan, Editor, HSJ, said: “The HSJ Awards are the greatest celebration of one of the world’s finest healthcare systems. The excellence it recognises is the best example of why the NHS remains Britain’s best loved institution.”

Camping Tips and Tricks

Going Camping? Don't Forget Your Gear

As you start to plan your camping trip you will want to make sure that you don’t forget anything, especially if that something is important to your trip. Camping can be a very relaxing, laid-back time and it should be.

Different Types Of Camping

However, if you forget something it can cause much unnecessary stress and who needs that on a camping trip? Let’s talk about items you may want to pack to make your next trip camping and enjoyable experience. First, remember to bring your bug spray.

Sometimes it rains or the ground is muddy, and bugs just appear out of nowhere. There is nothing worse than bug bites because someone forgot to bring the bug spray.

You can also bring things like bug bands and even candles and things to get rid of the bugs.

It never hurts to put a tarp between the ground and your tent. Simply set the tarp down and set your tent on it. This will help to keep moisture from rising up through the bottom of your tent and into your bedding area.

Also, you want to bring some chairs and whatever you need to eat, including snacks and perhaps a cooler.

Sleeping Bags

You will also need sleeping bags, pillows and bedding. Bring as much or as little as you need and are comfortable with. Each one of us has different ideas as to what we need for sleeping when we camp.

Air Mattress

If you need an air mattress or a cot, bring it. It never hurts to get a great night's rest and if it rains and you need to stay in your tent, a nice cozy bed is always great.

Using an RV,

Now, if you are using an RV, you may already be all set up and ready to go. However, if tent camping is the way you plan on going, well, don't forget to bring your tent, tent stakes and a few tarps.

Guest Post: “Setting as a Character” by Patty Templeton

PattyTempleton-AuthorPicI have a great many tattoos. Entire appendages are coated in ink. One of my favorites is a small arsenic bottle and a sprig of blackberries on my left arm. It was inspired by the book We Have Always Lived in the Castle by Shirley Jackson.

Shirley Jackson. Geez. That woman. Though We Have Always Lived in the Castle is my favorite novel of hers – and the novel that inspired the tattoo, The Haunting of Hill House is what Jackson is most known for. Made famous by two movie adaptations and lauded by Stephen King as one of only two “great novels of the supernatural in the last hundred years,”[1] The Haunting of Hill House was the first novel that made me aware of Setting as a Character.

If you are unfamiliar with The Haunting of Hill House, the main story thread is thus: four psychically-inclined characters (two women and two men) visit an 80-year-old mansion named Hill House to study the supernatural activity that may or may not be happening there. Strange. Events. Occur. Is it all in the minds of the slightly terrified inhabitants, do ghosts roam the halls, or can a place actually be alive and evil?

Ever been in a place that gave you bad vibes? I have. There is a certain portion of south Chicagoland woods that I will never go to again. I shit you not, I had a murder of crows follow me (and my mother) on a walk for 15 minutes. Weird. Creepy. Ew. Scary woods. Scary crows.

I loved Shirley Jackson’s notion of a setting truly becoming a character. Hill House is alive… and possibly two steps down its own path of madness. Hill House is something more than even a setting as a character. The term Genius Loci is Latin for “the protective spirit of a place.” Modern usage has dulled the term to meaning the atmosphere of a place…but screw that. I like the idea of a setting being wholly and completely inhabited by a personality.

PrintIn my debut novel, There Is No Lovely End, I tried to stretch the bounds of what a setting as character could be. I wanted several places to be so infused by history and experience that they were completely animate. They do not speak in human languages, but they communicate with characters – who may or may not be used to their settings acting out, rather than just housing their daily lives. That being said, not every setting is a character. There are dead zones. Not every place you walk by in real life gives you glee or the willies, why should the places in a book be any different?

Here are questions to think about when you are debating writing a setting as a character:

Do you want your setting to comfort your main character?

The Watchbird Theater houses a congregation of oddballs led by Arrol Wester, the theater’s owner. The Watchbird itself is known to reveal hidden passages and sleeping rooms for actors it adores. If the Watchbird were a person, people would describe her as kind, caring, and completely unusual.

Do you want your setting to confront your main character?

PrintSaint Anthony’s Academy of Wayward Sons is a Dickensian slumhole of an orphanage. It’s run by Franwell Doogood, a beastly woman with a beastly son, neither of whom would blink an eye over throttling a ragamuffin with a coinbag or broken chair. Consequently, Saint Ant’s is an antagonistic place that often trips and traps the orphans. Were Saint Ant’s a bloke at a bar, he’d be described as a rotten SOB.

Here are a few more questions to get the brain boiling about what your setting can or can’t do:

· Do you want your setting to mirror the personality of those that own it (like above) or do you want your setting to break all bounds and “be itself.” If so, how will this drive your story forward?

· Can a setting save a character?

· Can a setting destroy a character?

· Can your setting speak? Is it a human language? If not, what form does its language take? Can humans understand it?

· Can a setting be the main character?

· What are some of your favorite books and movies that best exemplify “setting as a character”? Think about one. What would you have done differently to amplify or add subtlety to it?

This is what I do when I am at home alone. I nerd out while listening to Slim Cessna’s Auto Club and think about literary and cinematic Genius Loci. It all comes down to this: the only rule is what works. Now get on it. Make setting as a character work for you. Become the new Hill House. Eris knows, I sure as hell will read you.

Author Bio: Patty Templeton is roughly 25 apples tall and 11,000 cups of coffee into her life. She wears red sequins and stomping boots while writing, then hits up back-alley dance bars and honky tonks. Her stories are full of ghosts, freaks, fools, underdogs, blue collar heroes, and never giving up, even when life is giving you shit. She won the first-ever Naked Girls Reading Literary Honors Award and has been a runner-up for the Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley Award. There Is No Lovely End is her first novel. Here is the synopsis…

Apparitions! Outlaws! Mediums!

1884. Nathan Garlan hears and sees the dead. Using his uncanny aptitudes to assist society and its specters, he has become the most acclaimed medium in Boston. But not all esteem him. Nathan Garlan’s own mother craves her boy butchered — and she’s not the only one…

Misery! Lust! Murder!

New Haven. Sarah Winchester is the heiress to the Winchester Rifle fortune and a haunted woman. She has searched for release from familial phantoms for two decades, yet found no respite. However, she has heard of a medium in Boston who regularly administers miracles…

Wit! Wonders! Outrage!

Who is the Reverend Doctor Enton Blake? Why does the lawless Hennet C. Daniels search for him? What form of profane curio is a trick box — and what, precisely, does one inter within it? Will Sarah Winchester find serenity through Nathan Garlan’s services? Or will Hester Garlan find her son first?

  1. This is a truly fantastic, wonderful, and educational post! Bravo, and again I say, Bravo! Settings have always been my personal doorways into stories, whether I'm reading them or writing them. It's the settings that speak most to me.

    As for a setting destroying a character -- THE SHINING, right?

    I am just now halfway through WE HAVE ALWAYS LIVED IN THE CASTLE for my first time, and you are SO right about Shirley Jackson! Kudos to you for imprinting part of this book permanently on yourself! You have made me want to run, not walk, to my bookshelf and pull down THE HAUNTING OF HILL HOUSE.

    But before I do that, there's a certain THERE IS NO LOVELY END that I cannot wait to read! Anyway, thanks for a tremendous post here!

Product Details

ASUS ZenBook

(1 customer review)

The new ZenBook 13 is a solidly-built laptop, and it’s display is stunning. Asus has also addressed one of my long-standing complaints with their laptops, i.e. audio quality, and the introduction of a powerful new AMD Ryzen CPU takes care of any power and battery life issues that I might have had.

My review unit was specced as follows:

CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5700U (8-cores / 16-threads)

GPU: 8-core AMD Radeon Graphics

Storage: 1 TB SSD

Display: 13-inch FHD OLED @ 60 Hz

Connectivity includes a single USB-A port, 2x USB-C ports, a microSD card slot, and an HDMI port. A USB-C to 3.5 mm audio adapter is included with the package, and the laptop supports Windows Hello Face Unlock via a built-in IR camera and webcam combo.

Share this product

I find macOS to be a much better laptop OS than Windows 10, and MacBooks – especially the new M1-based ones – run rings around Intel’s and AMD’s best low-power chips. And when it comes to display and audio quality, Apple’s devices are second to none.

While there’s nothing that can be done about Windows 10, there’s a lot that can be done in the hardware department. Asus, with its ZenBook 13 UM325U, now has me seriously considering a change of camp.

The ZenBook 13 is one of the best looking Ultrabooks I’ve used, and it feels as solidly built as a MacBook.

Object history
Purchased, 1986

Vauxhall sale by Ventom and Hughes, 12 Oct. 1841 (lot 186, 'children bird nesting' - a pleasing picture by Hayman...); Frederick Gye (inscribed on back of canvas 'F.G.'), 1842; Joseph Parkes; Christie's 8 May 1858 (lot 74, as by Hogarth). W. H. Forman; Sotheby's, 27 June 1899 (lot 87, unsold). Thence by descent to Major A.S.C. Brown; Christie's, 21 November 1986 (lot 66).

Historical significance: Subjects such as bird-nesting and bird-catching (see P.68-1986) demonstrate Hayman's awareness of French art, and have pictorial sources in engravings after Watteau and Lancret.
Historical context
This painting is one of seven in the V&A by Francis Hayman which relate to Hayman's work for the Vauxhall Gardens. See 'Historical Context' note on Museum Number P.12-1947 [May Day or The Milkmaid's Garland] for information about Hayman and the Vauxhall Gardens, from Brian Allen, Francis Hayman, Published in association with English Heritage (the Iveagh Bequest, Kenwood) and Yale Center for British Art by Yale University Press, New Haven and London, 1987, Page 107-9.

(The Ambulator, 1774, p.181)*. These alcoves, the supper boxes, extended along the north side of the Grove, the east and the south, from which a further short row ran southward. The boxes and their decorations are listed in...

[From section 3 of 5 areas of Vauxhall described by Gowing following The Ambulator] [Acquired by the V&A in 1986, museum number P.69-1986]. " On the south side of the quadrangle another range of boxes in a different style was adorned with further paintings:" "34 '4. Bird-nest' (Fig.18) 1841, lot 186, ' "Children Bird Nesting" a pleasing picture by Hayman'.... Now in the collection of Major A.S.C. Browne at Callaly Castle. 56 ½ x 91 ½ in. The design is clearly Hayman's (the boy hanging by his leg from the branch to the left and the anguished face of his companion on the right are characteristic), but French influence is strong in the central group and in the landscape setting. The execution is softer than in any other surviving picture; the hand of a French assistant may be suspected, but the final touches of drawing in the central group (now a little rubbed) seem to be by Hayman."

  1. wow, maybe she absorbs the drugs through the orange skin dye. Also, "the media went wild?" over those pictures? get a life, media, and get over some damn hoes holding some pumpkin with they ass hanging out. i mean, isn't that what the beautiful season of autumn is all about?

Now how do youuuuuuuuuuuu feel about it?

Research focus: Lee’s research group focuses on intelligent tactile systems and studies the sensing and perception mechanisms of biological systems. The group is part of the Institute of Smart Sensors (IIS) and develops artificial tactile systems that are then applied in contact-rich environments. In order to do so, the group is going to conduct interdisciplinary research at both the hardware and software levels, including research into new materials, sensor design, multiphysics simulation, sensor fabrication, signal processing, and machine learning. Their research has the potential to produce autonomous systems for contact-rich systems. These systems could, in perspective, be able to recognize contact as such and take advantage of their body’s surface for manipulation, motion planning, and nonverbal communication.

Lee’s research group is made possible by a grant from the Christian Bürkert Stiftung.

4sd.com and 4fans.com Review – One Plus One Makes Happiness

So you have decided to enter the world of online dating, and
4sd.com and 4fans.com beckons. There are promises of love, friendship,
companionship, fun, and excitement. Sitting at home with your hands on the
keyboard, the nagging question is whether this site is going to truly help you
find the person you want to share time with on a regular basis.

The fact is that many people today are overloaded with too many
responsibilities and simply don’t have time to spend hours at clubs,
restaurants, social gatherings and other common places where singles tend to
meet. But one plus zero doesn’t equate to companionship so they are turning to
online dating sites to narrow the search field and
reduce the time it can take to meet a compatible person.

Online Millions Can’t Be Wrong!

4sd.com and 4fans.com has become a wildly popular site with literally millions
of profiles posted and monthly visits logged. At any one time you visit the site
there are going to be thousands of people online ready to find others who have
similar interests and goals. In fact, the site will tell you how many are logged
in when you begin a communication.

The millions who are logged into the site are from around the world with at
least 230 countries represented right now. It’s easy to establish a profile and
within 15 minutes you can begin reading other profiles. But if you decide you
want to communicate with another member, it will be necessary to pay for a
Premium subscription. That only makes sense, of course, since this is a
legitimate business that helps people meet each other.

In all fairness, a helpful 4sd.com and 4fans.com review must cover both the
positive and not-so-positive aspects of the website. Fortunately for those
interested in using a site that will give the best dating opportunity, the online dating system has only minor limitations. For example,
messages to others cannot be longer than 1500 characters. If you are a wordy
person then you will probably run out of space in some of your outgoing messages.

Another limitation for some people is the fact that chats are not monitored.
But if you don’t like how a chat is going then you can simply exit the online
conversation. In addition, once you set up your profile, it cannot be removed
and will remain active for the subscription time period you choose.

Weighing In on the Side of Success

But when you read an 4sd.com and 4fans.com review, it quickly becomes clear the
positives far outweigh any negatives. The features that have made this online
dating site so successful include the following.

Adding Up to Happiness

After reading the 4sd.com and 4fans.com review, it is easy to see that this is
a site that offers a chance to do a little math! Instead of one plus zero, you
can add one plus one to find happiness. The site is one of the easiest online
dating sites to use and it is regularly updated to incorporate new technology.

The purpose of any 4sd.com and 4fans.com review is to point out the pros and
cons of the site. But clearly the favorable features far outweigh the
unfavorable. This is a great site for finding friendship or love, so any way you
look at it, singles dating adds up to excitement.

1929 Ford Model A 2-Door Sedan Additional Info:

We like the Ford Model A because it's one of those great classics that doesn't discriminate. They can be appreciated by nearly anyone no matter mechanical skill or financial ability. This 1929 is the perfect example of an affordable classic that chugs down the road with ease and gets smiles wherever it goes. The tudor sedan is one of the best ways to enjoy the Model A. The fully enclosed cabin is part of what really made this...one a leap over the Tin Lizzy, but it does not lose its iconic presence that symbolizes the dawn of the automotive age. The two-tone green and black makes this one look as sweet as mint candy. Plus, bright yellow wire wheels are a great standout to this package while still keeping with the period-correct theme. But what will really make people take notice are the great details like the correct bumpers, sun visor, and full-size spare hanging off the rear. Open the door and you'll see the seats and door panels retain a period-correct mohair appearance. Even the headliner has been recently replaced with the proper materials to keep this fresh and without going modern. Everything feels authentic from the classic four-spoke steering wheel to the bright instrument panel. No one has tried to spoil this time machine with aftermarket parts like air conditioning. Instead, this thoroughly correct interior means raising the front windshield and rolling down the side windows to get your ventilation the way your family did a few generations ago. When you get under the hood, Ford's 201 cubic inch four-cylinder engine looks amazingly correct and authentic. This motor is all about torque, and the over-achieving little machine makes a distinctive sound that's been beloved for generations. It happily pulls this tutor around without working too hard and cruises at 45 MPH, so it's not a problem on modern surface streets. The three-speed manual transmission shifts cleanly with a quick double-clutch and the recently serviced brakes are effective for a vehicle with modest performance and light weight. So, in total, this nearly 90-year-old is still a fun runabout. This is the car you cherish because you like to be connected with a bygone era. It's an affordable, fun, and above all, honest Model A just wanting for you to take it home. Call today!!!
