Never to worry

He was not the first guy I had met with painted toe nails. Nick told me that he had a fetish about painted toe nails. He was not the first guy I had met on a London escorts date to tell me about his painted toe nails fetish, and I doubt very much that he will be the last guy to confess that he has a fascination for nail polish. I have plenty of people who have a fetish for nail polish, and some even claim that just the smell of nail polish turns them on.

Do I have a problem with that? I don’t have a problem with fetishes at all. During my time with London escorts, I have come across all sort of fetishes and none of them worry me at all. Of course, some fetishes are more unusual than others, but at the same time, I don’t make a big deal out of them. I have my own fetishes, or ideas, which others may think would be a little bit funny, but what is the big deal?

Where do fetishes come from? If you were to ask me where my fetishes come from, I would have to tell you that I really don’t have a clue. I have tried to figure out where my fetishes came from, and how they popped into my head, but at the end of the day, I could not tell you. Our memories are not perfect and most of us do not only have fetishes in our heads, we also have other fantasies going on.

What is a fetish? Most of the girls at London escorts would not be able to tell you what a fetish is. It seems like it is a bit like an ear worm, you know one of those tunes that you cannot get out of your head, and it just stays in there. When I first started my London escorts career, I did not know that there were so many different fetishes, but I have come to accept them, and as I have got older, I have learn that it is okay to have a fetish as long it does hurt others.

Do men have more fetishes than women? I don’t think that men have more fetishes than women. The difference is perhaps that a lot more men are keener to act their fetishes out. Women seem to hold back their fetishes more than men do. I do some escorts for couples dating at London escorts, and I know that women in general have a problem with their fetishes. It would be better if they just let go and let their fetishes fly free. At first it might be hard, but once you are in touch with your fetish, and enjoy playing with it, you are more likely to accept it and not worry about it. Getting in touch with your inner fetish can change your entire life, and may not be a bad thing at all.

Are you getting a bit older

If you are getting a bit older and perhaps even approaching the menopause, you may have started to worry about things like vaginal dryness. It is not uncommon for girls of all ages to suffer from vaginal dryness, and it does happen to London escorts as well. However, even when you work for a London escorts agency, there are plenty of steps you can take all of those annoying health issues which sneak up on you as you get older.

Vaginal dryness is only one of the health problems which can sneak up on you as your approach or go through the menopause. Mature London escorts often find themselves worrying about allover skin quality as well. Wrinkles are associated with the menopause and getting older. Thankfully there are a variety of easy steps you can take to combat the problem. Most of the girls at London escorts are pretty good at looking after themselves, and they know how important it is to buy the right kind of skin creams.

One of the things the girls who work for London escorts do, is to check out the ingredients of that jar of skin care before they buy it. For instance, you would not catch any girl at a London escorts agency buying a skin cream with added alcohol. When it comes to keeping your skin nice and soft and wrinkle free after your 40’s, the best thing you can do is watch the ingredients which go into your skincare. Alcohol can seriously dry out your skin and is known to cause wrinkles and even cellulite.

Watching your diet is something else that you should as you get older. Some foods are better than others. Most of the girls at London escorts are careful with what they eat. Instead of eating a lot of meat, they try to stick to fruit, vegetables, and plenty of seafood. Eating healthy fats will make you look great and give your skin a nice healthy glow. You can resort to taking supplements, but eating the right kind of foods is so much better for you and often cheaper.

What about exercising? Exercising outside is something most London escorts are very keen on. After all, many of the girls work inside at night. Getting out during the day can help you to get some much-needed oxygen to boost your beauty routine. But, you need to watch pollution levels. Pollution from traffic can cause skin problems, and you should avoid being out during the busiest hours. Going to the seaside and spending time in one of London’s many parks can help to boost your skin health and make you feel good about yourself at the same time. Just a few handy and easy to follow health tips from London escorts. If you have a health tip you would like to share, why don’t you get in touch with…

Top Tips For Being With A Girl With Anxiety

Anxiety is now one of the most common health problems in our society. It is not obvious why so many women suffer from anxiety, but it is thought that it is linked to stress. Living and working in London is one of the most stressful things that you can do. Believe it or not, even London escorts suffer from anxiety from time to time. One of my best friends at our charlotte escorts do, and the poor thing can tell you why. She is a hugely successful London escort, so it is not a professional problem.

If you date on a regular basis, you will probably end up dating a girl who suffers from anxiety. Some men seem to have the ability to handle the situation better than others. My best friend at our London escorts agency says it helps if a man is calm. When you are on a date with a man who is trying too hard or cracking jokes all of the time, it is harder to relax. She says her head starts to spin and then she has an anxiety attack. In other words, it helps to stay calm.

Should your date that you suffer from anxiety? I have been thinking about this a lot. Perhaps this is not such a good idea to do when you are on a London escorts date, but when you are off duty from London escorts, there is no reason why you should not do so. Then again, there are plenty of men who don’t mind if you say that you feel a bit wobbly. I think that the majority of men who like to date London escorts like to look after their dates.

If your date has an anxiety attack, it is important to help her come out of it. Start to talk to her slowly and reassure her everything is okay. Most of the time, the person having the anxiety can’t tell you what is going wrong. The truth is that anxiety just comes out of the blue and it is hard to tell someone else while it is happening. I have seen my London escorts friend have an anxiety attack and nothing at all was really wrong. It was something going on in her head.

Does it mean that your date is a nutcase because she is having an anxiety attack? No, it does not mean that at all. Most London escorts are perfectly sane, but yet there are London escorts who have anxiety attacks. This is what makes it so interesting. There is probably a very good reason why we suffer more from anxiety than we used to. Trying to relax and practicing things like yoga and tai-chi can help a lot. Most of the time, anxiety goes away on its own and you may not ever experience it in your entire life again. When you do have a problem with anxiety, it is important to seek help as quickly as you. There is plenty of help out there and conventional drugs are not always the best solution. …

London escorts filled my life with clarity

It’s always easy to live a life with suffering and pain when I have someone that I can trust with all of my heart. I thought about the things that I have done for somebody in the past. Until I can find somebody that can definitely brake care of me I do not know what I should do anymore. My girlfriend and I are always trying to be happy together. Even though I have been through a lot and she have endured a lot for me already we still feel like it is our duty to be together and never stop trying to figure out what the next step of our life is going to me. I do love my girlfriend to death and I would not replace her for anyone at all. My girlfriend is a lovely London escort of and there is no bigger part of my life than being with her. i knew that she was the only London escort that I can ever be happy about. Even when things went sideways in my life and I can’t even begin to imagine what to do I still feel like I can rely in her a hundred per cent of the time. I was terribly depressed when I left my parents because they did not accept the kind of decision that I had to make when it comes to my London escort. I thought that I was slowly fading away but thankfully there was such a big help that came from a London escort in my life. It’s been quite a while ever since somebody took care of me. But once a London escort came to my life everything went better than I expected it even predicted. I was not able to feel like I was doing the right thing in the past. Most if the time that I did not know what to do a London escort was working twice as hard as she can for me. My life did not matter even to me. But when she started loving me and caring about my wellbeing that’s when everything feels in to place. I was always thinking that there would be a time when I am unable to continue on in my work because of my strict boss. He had always found a reason to fire me in my job that I needed the most. I felt afraid most of the time and the stress that I am feeling was starting to mount up. I am always in fear of losing my job. But thanks to a London escort my life was filled with clarity once again. I want to show other people that no matter how hard they try to bring me down I will always get back up because they do not know who my secret weapon is. It’s always going to be a huge deal for me to have a London escort who takes care if me and wanting to take care if her also is my job as a man.…

He says that you are either turned on, and ready to go, or you are not.

I can’t really say that I agree with him at all, and none of the other guys that I have been with have been like him. It really turns me off. Outside the bedroom he is really sweet, and spends all evening rubbing my feet after I have been on my stilettos all day at Kent escorts. The girls back at Kent escorts from think that he is a really nice guy, it is just that he does not have much of clue in the bedroom.

A couple of the other girls that I work with at Kent escorts, seem to have the same trouble and I can understand where they are coming from. They are staying with their boyfriends because they are sweet outside the bedroom. If it wasn’t for that, I am sure that most of them would not be with their boyfriends. Sometimes it feels a bit like I am stuck between a rock and hard place. At least that is what I keep telling myself and my friends back at Kent escorts.

But, I really need my boyfriend to change. I like to have good sex as much as the next girl, and I don’t get that out of quickie. Most girls need foreplay to get them going and I think that all of the girls that I have spoken to do. Working for Kent escorts is great because at least it means that you can be open about these things, and talk about them. Some of the girls are not shy in coming forward to give advice, but other Kent escorts like to take a bit of a back seat. After all, it is somebody’s personal life.

I am not sure that I am going to be able to continue seeing my boyfriend if he does not change his way. My girlfriends at Kent escorts say that I should not feel guilty about it. If the relationship is not for me, they say that I should move on and ﬁnd somebody else. To a certain extent, I really do agree. You learn a lot about life working at Kent escorts, and perhaps I should take a leaf out of my own book and move on.

Looking at my entire situation, does somebody who just want to pull your knickers down and screw you, really love you? I am not sure about that and I am not sure that this is a long term relationship. Since I joined Kent escorts I have been through a lot of boyfriends and it seems that many of them just get turned on by the fact that I am a Kent escort. Well, there is a lot more to me than that and somehow I feel that I deserve a real chance when it comes to love. Maybe my dream man is out there somewhere, and waiting for me.…

On my website you’ll find information about my  recipesarticles/books, and illustrations. My book, My Davis Farmers Market Cookbook won the 11th Annual National Indie Excellence Award for Best Regional Cookbook. BUY NOW

What I’m doing now: I just harvested wild elderflowers from the local elderberry bushes that grow along Putah Creek near Winters. I made Elderflower Cordial with them. When added to sparkling water or sparkling wine, it makes a refreshing Yolo County summer evening drink. Make it your new signature beverage.

The Sacramento Bee loved my Davis Farmers Market Cookbook, Revised Edition (Elderflower Press, 2016, $26.95). Buy now. The book is available in Davis, California at the Davis Food Co-op, Davis ACE, Avid Reader, UC Davis Stores, Ikeda’s Market and at the Davis Farmers Market. In Yolo County, find it at Seka Hills Olive Mill and Tasting Room in Brooks. In Winters, find it at Preserve Market and Berryessa Gap Winery. Find it on line through UC Davis Bookstores or Amazon. The book has 72 seasonal recipes, features the market’s farmers and vendors, and has a year of monthly seasonal menu’s using recipes from the book. Read my story of the history of the market. UC Davis Magazine also featured the students who started the market, including me. Read it.Net proceeds from the book go to the Davis Farm to School Program, a project of the Davis Farmers Market Alliance.

January. Meyer Lemons are prolific right now, so I’m using them in a number of ways, including making preserved lemons. I use them with roast chicken and some Middle Eastern dishes. Preserved lemons are stored in the refrigerator and are quite easy to make.

December. I’m making TAMALES for the holidays, hosting a fun tamalada, a tamale making party, with my friends Belinda Rodriguez and Joyce Hardi, in support of Slow Food Yolo. I have recipes for Vegetarian Tamales and Pork Tamales with Red Sauce. See my Instructions for Filling Tamales.

November. November is a good time to make Traditional English Mincemeat with Suet, Candied Orange and Lemon Peel, to put in your December holiday pies and tarts.  I’ve just finished candying orange peels (Valencia, from my tree) and lemon peels (Lisbon, from my tree). These go into my homemade mincemeat and fruit cake for the holidays.

October. I just got back from Apple Hill. Together with my apples and those from a neighbor, I made applesauce and canned it. Use 3-5 kinds to create a more complex flavor, and I always add a stick or two of cinnamon when I’m cooking the sauce.  Here is my recipe.

Mirage, abstract art in the Pathways series by Amy Crook

Mirage, 8″x10″ watercolor on Arches cover buff paper

Endless-seeming dunes give way near the top to the illusion of water. The warm buff paper breaks through the dull sparkle of yellow rust and copper. The caress of wind over sand exposes variations in shape, color and texture as a muted shine is revealed behind the amber waves.

The Pathways series is turned its side here, trading trees for earth and skies for an endless search for the horizon. The mirage adds a bright pop against the rich layers of sand and ochre and copper.

If you dream of sun and sand and sparkling water, this painting will bring a little piece of that into your everyday life.

Mirage, detail, by Amy Crook

Above, you can see the sunlight catching the copper, which only appears at certain angles in amongst the sandy ochres and golds. Below, I’ve trapped the mirage behind glass, so you can safely contemplate eternity without losing yourself in the dunes.

Mr. Chuba Iwobi, the father of Super Eagles and Arsenal of England forward Alex Iwobi, believes Nigeria has what it takes to clinch her fourth continental crown, reports.

Iwobi, who spoke after the Eagles’ training session on Wednesday, noted that the quality of players in the squad, coupled with the technical ability of the coach, gives the team a good chance of winning June’s AFCON in Egypt.

“I believe we have what it takes to win the AFCON; this team have been together for quite a while and the coaches know the strength and weaknesses of each position already.

“For me personally, with the right blend of players and commitment we should be able to win the trophy. It’s too early to predict though but I believe there is a possibility because we have the players,” he concluded.

Already qualified Nigeria top Group E with 10 points and will host Seychelles on Friday in their final qualification match before also taking on Egypt in an international friendly at the same venue on Tuesday next week.

Nigeria last featured at the 2013 AFCON which it won, missing out on the 2015 and 2017 editions.

Top Ways To Improve Your TV Signal Quickly And Easily

Having poor TV signal can be highly frustrating and youâ??d probably be surprised by just how thoroughly it can ruin an evening.

On an average evening, trying to relax in front of the TV while the image and the sound keep breaking up can be incredibly frustrating and a surefire way to drive yourself mad â?? but when thereâ??s something you particularly want to watch and youâ??re forced to guess whatâ??s going on it can be downright depressing. And of course the signal will only ever choose to cut out just at the most crucial plot point so that youâ??re left completely clueless.

The good news though, is that most cases of poor TV signal can be fixed relatively easily. Usually there is something preventing the signal from coming through properly that can be fixed in a matter of moments â?? and if not then you can probably still strengthen your reception in other ways to counteract the problems. Read on to find out how to deal with poor signal quickly and effectively in most instances.

Check Your Cabling

In many cases, poor reception will simply come down to a loose connection, or to damaged cables. If you notice that the cable connecting your freeview box to your TV is very old and worn, then replacing this can often make all the difference. Alternatively, it could be that your cable simply isnâ??t plugged in firmly enough, in which case you can solve the problem simply by taking it out and putting it in again.

Target Pests

If the cables behind your TV are fine, then it may be the case that the cables coming from your aerial have been damaged. A common cause of this is pests â?? which can get inside your loft and chew through various important cables. To solve the problem, get the exterminators around to eliminate the problem once and for all.

Birds can also cause a problem if they are nesting in your aerial, so a simple scarecrow could even help your signal!

Cut Down Surrounding Trees

If you have lots of trees around your home, then these could easily be interfering with your TV signal â?? particularly if they are very tall or if they are blowing around a lot in the wind. To solve the problem, cut the tops of the trees off, or consider moving the aerial slightly so that itâ??s no longer being blocked.

Retune Your TV

Your signal woes arenâ??t necessarily down to your hardware at all though. Just as likely is that your TV needs a retune. Normally this can be accomplished relatively easy through your remote, so if itâ??s been a while, have a sit down and see if you can rectify the problem without clambering around on your roof.

Replace Your Equipment

Of course it could also be that your aerial is damaged, or that the freeview box youâ??re using isnâ??t very high quality. In most cases you will get what you pay for, so if you have a very cheap receiver, it might be worth spending a little bit more on a replacement in order to get a much higher quality image and enjoy your TV free of interruptions.

Today’sÂ guest author,Â Mark Ross, is a technician at IcePest, a pest control service that provides services forÂ wildlife removal in Toronto.Â When he is not working, he is seen enjoying long evening walks listening to old rock songs.

OC | Future Plans Call for Higher-Level Curriculum

Sept. 19, 2006
Sept. 19, 2006 0

With its warm lighting, Starbucks-inspired colors and open-air ceiling, the newly renovated Olympic College bookstore finally looks like — well — a college bookstore.

"This is nice," said student Greg Jablowski, 44, of Bremerton. "It used to feel more like a high school. This gives you more of a sense that you're actually going to a college."

The $2 million expansion nearly doubled the floor space to 10,000 square feet.

As the fall quarter begins this week, there are noticeable differences at the main campus in Bremerton. Next door to the expanded bookstore, a new $22 million Science & Technology building is under construction and should be open next year. There also are plans for a new $43 million Humanities and Student Service building and a 466-car parking garage.

"It's exciting to see this kind of activity on campus," said Olympic College President David Mitchell. "It's something tangible you can point to as progress."

In addition to the facilities upgrades, the community college is expanding its degree opportunities. Olympic College a year from now will offer its first baccalaureate program, a bachelor of science degree in nursing.

While there currently are no plans to offer additional baccalaureate programs, administrators here say the new nursing program is the latest push toward expanding the college's role in the community.

"We're being asked to provide a leadership role in post-secondary education," Mitchell said. "We're trying to expand access to baccalaureate programs because that's an absolute necessity to the area's redevelopment."

The 10-year facilities plan calls for a university center, which would provide a central location for higher-level courses currently available at Olympic College through Western Washington University, Old Dominion University and St. Martin's University. Those courses currently are taught all over campus, wherever there's an available classroom.

As Olympic College expands its course offerings, administrators say they don't want to stray from the college's objective of providing affordable post-secondary education and producing a qualified work force that meets the demands of local employers.

The college recently received a state grant that will provide $305,000 each year for the next three years to help students majoring in either health care or welding, two career fields in high demand locally.

"Whenever we want to add a new program, we have to prove to the state that there is a demand in the labor market," Mitchell said. "A lot more goes into selecting programs than the community realizes."

At the same time, the college is trying to encourage more graduates to transfer to universities after earning their associate degrees. That includes freshman Paige Burnham, 17, of Bremerton, who was buying textbooks Monday at the renovated bookstore.

"It's nice that they're doing this (renovation)," said Burnham, who plans to transfer to Washington State University. "It makes you feel more like a college student."

At the other end of the bookstore, Julia Ligmann, a 16-year-old Running Start student from Bremerton High School, waited in the checkout line.

"It adds to the atmosphere," she said. "I like it."

COMMENT on the international situation written, as any commentary here must be, before the debates in the two Houses is necessarily restrained. And in any case it is only possible to touch lightly on one question which none the less cannot be ignored altogether. That is the part played in the Paris agree- ment by the Permanent Under-Secretary at the Foreign Office, Sir Robert Vansittart. It is a very proper rule that civil servants should not be criticised in the Press because their position debars them from defending themselves. But the suggestion that the permanent officials of the Foreign Office and the Quai D'Orsay have a policy of their own by no means necessarily identical with that proclaimed by the Foreign Ministers at Geneva—to put it briefly, the " Stresa Front" policy —is so serious that it is not at all improper to ask for definite assurances on the point. Of course, Sir Samuel Hoare takes full responsibility for anything the. Per- manent Under-Secretary may have said or done, but public anxiety, and rather regrettably public suspicion, has been violently aroused by the events of the past fortnight, and the visit of a Permanent Under-Secre- tary to a foreign capital is so rare an event that it is not surprising that attention should be centred on this visit and its sequel—if not its consequences. Perman- ent officials are experts and Ministers amateurs. Obvious dangers may arise from that fact.

The Literary Imagination: Essays on Literature and Society Laurence Lerner (Haryester Press £18.95)

Here Professor Lerner collects trine excellent pieces about how good i1 aginative writing comes to be written. They don't slip down smoothly. Lerner thinks hard and expects his readers to be up there alongside him, keeping up and sweating it out. I read the first one, 'The Determinants of Literary Work', reclining on a sort of palanquin in my garden and nodded oil Waking up I went at it again and got profit. Tradition, individual and society, he sub' gests, are the three factors determining how a piece of writing comes out, but concedes that trinitarianism is losing ground at Pre: sent to the doctrine of the prime mover, an ° that the prime mover must be society. The, individual is only specific 'within the social forms of his time and place' he reminds us' quoting Raymond Williams, but reminds us also, further on, that Dickens is a difficult horse to coax into a single-entrance starting-stall. Lerner, in fact, is a sensible' middle-ground man; he refuses to be ab" solute and speak by the card; he shows II° alarm at the prospect of being undone by equivocation. He says in his preface that his essaYs `are.. concerned with the points where theory and particularity meet...' e recognises that much theorising and strait' jacketing has gone on since — arbitrarily t° put a date on it — Quiller-Couch became the first Professor of English Literature (t11 1912) that the University of Cambridge ever had, and he states quite clearly where he stands on the business of 'schools' and `theories'. `... I care passionately about literature, and strongly about interpreting it, but I do not greatly care about taking LIP a rigid theoretical position from which t° do so. Hence the pluralism that is implicit all through the book, and explicit in the first essay.'

This is a safe and sensible watchtower

Position from which to survey with your binoculars the battleground of words going on all round you. After your tour of duty is over you can report back to base on what You have observed with less chance of hav- ing mud on you? face or of having to pick bits of shrapnel out of your frail flesh. Pro- fessor Lerner can type up his final sentence and know that when he turns round to face Possible hostility nobody is going to be able to make a monkey out of him.

He has a better linguistic range than most literary critics writing in English. He has Plenty of interesting things to say for exam- Ple about Theodor Fontane (1819-1898) the Berlin novelist who is little read here but Who is none the less the best of German novelists ( and I'm not forgetting the long, low rumblings of Thomas Mann). And he is excellent on Moliere of whom few English writers (and I'm not forgetting George Meredith in his 'Essay on Comedy') have Much to say that is at all apt. Lerner thinks of Moliere as 'all structure, all situation, and linguistically blank' — which gets pret- ty close to him (yet 'Vous l'avez voulu, Georges Dandin' has somehow lasted on, though I can't think why).

He has a splendid piece which he calls ,

The Bourgeois Imagination'. In this there's a beautifully subtle analysis of Blake's London poem CI wander thro' each chartered street'). What he has to say about the third stanza particularly (about the chimney-sweeper's cry) is stunningly revelatory. But it does bring up the basic question one so often finds oneself obliged to ask when reading Lerner: are his poets and novelists as clever, as subtle and as Perceptive as he is? This is a general ques- tion I'd want to pit not only to Lerner but to large numbers of current academic critics. Are all the instinctive creators (Shakespeare supremely, Blake too) busy scratching their transfigured heads up there as they read the modern commentaries, and are they turning to their mates and saying: bid I mean all this? Was I this clever? Do We have a sort of divine accident situation here?'

, The proof-reading in this book is very ,und — shockingly so really because it con- trasts so sharply with the brilliance and acuteness of what Lerner has to say. But don't be put off by this. Here is a sensitive and observant student of literature who tonics before and after before he puts 1OYthing down on paper and never gets drunk on theory. He's also wonderfully lair-minded. How gently for example he deflates that stupendously boring, one- , track-minded Marxist Lukacs: `...1 do not believe Lukacs has the facts right...' No, in- deed. If Lerner had just come from a re- reading (if he could bear this) of what Lukacs has to say about Scott in his The Historical Novel he might have re-phrased his sentence more trenchantly. But Lerner Prefers always to keep his cool — and his insights. 'Dickens has the opinions of a reformer, but the imagination of despair.' Quite so.

New Info Sees Police Questioning Gallerist’s Widow in Case Surrounding Klimt Discovered in Gallery Wall

February 12th, 2020

In the latest twist behind the case of the Gustav Klimt work discovered in the walls of the the Ricci Oddi modern art gallery in Piacenza, prosecutors in Piacenza are questioning Rossella Tiadina, the widow of former gallery manager Stefano Fugazza. “The decision to question his widow was prompted by a diary entry discovered by police in which Fugazza contemplates a fake robbery to gin up controversy around the show. “I wondered what could be done to give the exhibition some notoriety, to ensure an audience success like never before,” he writes. “And the idea that came to me was to organise, from the inside, a theft of the Klimt, just before the show (exactly, my God, what happened), for the work to then be rediscovered after the show began.”

Why low turns are the worst way to reduce consumption

Read more about the difference between iridium and platinum spark plugs

First of all, low crankshaft speeds cause a weak supply of oil to all moving engine parts. It is connected to the crankshaft oil pump, which is responsible for pumping oil.

For each turn, the pump pumps the same amount of oil. And since it is directly connected to the crankshaft, the amount of pumped oil will directly depend on the crankshaft speed. Note that the relatively new and well-groomed engines do not have problems with oil channels, whereas experienced cars with a mileage of more than 100-150 thousand. Km are clogged with sediments and chips. This causes a problem called oil hunger. Many will argue, they say, and that at that moment took the oil pressure sensor. He must admit a flaw. Of course, he recognizes an insufficient amount of oil in the system, but oil starvation has nothing to do with the pressure of oil, so in this case it is useless to count on a light bulb on the device.

Further simple math. We have already found out that the oil pump has a direct connection with the engine crankshaft. This means that at 1,500 rpm, the pump will have two times less oil than at 3,000 rpm. Recall that the oil is responsible not only for the direct lubrication of all parts but also for the abstraction of excess heat. So oil starvation can easily turn into unnecessary overheating. Every driver at least once per trip – even a length of only a few kilometers – makes a sharp acceleration. This happens all the time – traffic drives, or just such a driving style, or maybe you just want to kill a little “automatic”.

In the process of rapid acceleration, the electronic control unit of the engine gives the command to enter into the cylinders of the air-fuel mixture in a volume several times higher than the usual one required to maintain the set speed. The oil pump and pump are physically unable to instantly speed up their work. But in cylinders, the amount of heat already exceeds the previous value several times. This warm is not removed anywhere since there is not enough oil, which increases the one-time load on the piston group and the unit itself. Excess warm can also cause detonation, which is highly undesirable. It turns out, as always. The desire to save a little fuel affects the health of the engine. The gearbox suffers have the same way. You should not constantly keep the tachometer needle near the cut-off, of course, this extreme will also help to call the service early.

How To Properly Balance Car Tyres

Once your tires have been installed on the car, it is crucial for them to be balanced and you can do so whenever you get your tire rotated. Balancing your tires are a great way to increase the life span of your tires and save money in the long run. Driving while having an unbalanced tire is not safe as you can lose control of your car as well as causes poor fuel efficiency. For the best tyres, you should definitely choose to get Kumho tyres. They are easily available in the UAE at the Dubai Tyre Shop. Employees from the Dubai tyre shop will come to your doorstep and install the tyres on your car. They also offer other services such as tire rotation. For more information,look at this website.

Here are a few steps you should follow to properly balance your tyres:

  • The first thing you should do is wear some safety material so that you do not harm yourself in the process. Some steel toe boots and safety goggles are a must.
  • Make sure you have good quality tyres installed. Make sure you have the proper size and that they are properly fitted. Your tyres should have at least 50% or more tread depth. Also check whether there are any cracks or distortions on the sidewall.
  • Make sure that no center caps and wheel weights are attached. That way the results will be more accurate. Once they are off , attach the wheel onto the machine and make sure it is attached tightly. Measure the height and width of your rim as well as the machine requires it.
  • Choose the vehicle you want to have your tires installed on. Then you should proceed to enter the proper tire pressure which your car requires. Tire pressure is quite important if you want to have a smooth ride.
  • Your machine will then proceed to check the tyre. It will check how much weight I can handle and which side of the car it will fit on properly.
  • You should then install wheel weights as required by the machine. The machine will then proceed to rebalance the tires on the proper spot on the rim.
  • Once it is done, the machine will indicate that the tire is ready to be installed on the car and that it is safe to use.

Follow these easy steps for a proper rebalancing.

Tips For A Car Care Transformation

Soap Your Automobile Foolish

Before you begin working with the information, you have reached obtain the automobile genuine excellent and tidy outside. A lot of us do this frequently, yet overlook the remainder of the car care transformation procedure. Do not be stingy with the soap. Order a huge sponge and also provide your automobile with a soapy sponge bathroom. When you’re done, wash the treatment off thoroughly. When all that soap is gone, you need to see something near just what the cars and truck’s shade was when you acquired it.

Make Your Tires a Radiating Instance of a Precious Automobile

Your wheels require a great deal of treatment. They are just what rolls in between you and also the roadway. In a position where it snows throughout the winter months, it is specifically essential to maintain your wheels tidy. It not just looks great, yet it is a precaution to preserve the stability of your cars and truck’s wheels. You intend to clean them thoroughly and potentially also use some tire beam for your car care transformation. Between remodellings, wash your tires and edges on a regular basis that is the most important one in Car Care.

Polish The Automobile Covering

You have currently soaped your vehicle down, make sure you end up the task with a functional layer of gloss. Cars and truck gloss does not set you back a lot. However, it could sure make that automobile lustre very for you. Do 2 or 3 layers of shimmer on your automobile to reveal you care, and because your auto is a representation of you.

Wax: That Bonus Unique Car Care Transformation Touch

To round off the best treatment transformation, you could refrain from doing without auto wax. This will provide your automobile that beams you have not seen considering that you chose it from the display room. Once more, do not be attracted to go the simple roadway. Patiently use three liberal layers of wax. While auto gloss lasts a very long time, the shaving must be done each time you offer your automobile a just bathroom.

A living space for traveling

Design and technology – both determine the driving experience, the relationship that a driver makes with his car. But what does the car of the future look like when the steering wheel is no longer in the center? Two designers report on their Auto modified design of tomorrow.

The design has to be hot and cool

Cars will change more over the next five to ten years than they have in the past 50 years. Electrification offers us designers many new design possibilities. What that might look like is shown by the Concept EQ, which offers an avant-garde, modern and independent aesthetic. And at the same time its design reduced to the essentials reveals progressivity.

Of course it will continue to be the classic car design we are used to. But we can design “purpose design”, so go completely new independent ways. But there are also forms that are indeed timeless. A beautiful body is timeless, as shown by ancient statues; they have fascinated people for millennia.

Design study by Mercedes Benz Source: Daimler AG

Often designers are asked how the new cars will look – rather sporty or like a SUV with a lot of space. We will continue to experience completely new segments in the future. Designers live ahead of time, that is, they work today on the cars that will only be released in ten years.

If the legal and technical conditions are right, we will be able to drive autonomously. And then the driver in the car has time for very different things, just to pay attention to the traffic. That will not happen tomorrow, but maybe the day after tomorrow. Individual mobility will definitely evolve. The offers are becoming more varied, colorful and always more target group oriented. morans

“Man comes to the center”

The mobile world is currently undergoing a transformation that completely changes the way the customer views the car. Tailor-made design is becoming an increasingly important differentiator even more than today as the technologies of automated driving and electro mobility will increasingly converge. Innovation, emotion and beauty decide today as in the future on the value and character of a product.

The car of the day after tomorrow will be more than ever a place of communication. And that’s exactly what Volkswagen is showing with the “ID Family”, a fleet of progressively designed and avant-garde-designed electric vehicles. They put the focus on people; the driver’s place is the interactive center of a mobile living space with a lounge atmosphere and clear functionality.

The electric drive creates much greater freedom for us designers. Cooler openings are smaller; the axes move far outward, the proportions create new space. I’m always in rapture: everything is clear, solid volume, highest precision, a charismatic front end, iconic and concise C-pillars, flowing and sculptural surfaces and emphatically expressive wheels – that’s the layout of electric Volkswagen of the future for you.

Fans not permitted at Ravens training camp

Tyler Hamilton | 7/25/2020, 9:40 a.m.
The Covid-19 pandemic has turned just about every facet of life upside down.
Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson AP

The Covid-19 pandemic has turned just about every facet of life upside down. Like everything else, National Football League (NFL) training camps are not immune to the effects. Fans of the Baltimore Ravens won’t be permitted to attend training camp practices this year.

Closing training camp to fans is a joint decision between the NFL and the National Foofball League Players Association (NFLPA). The league’s mandate supersedes any state decisions that may allow large gatherings.

For many Ravens fans, heading to the Under Armour Performance Center braving the dog days of August to get an up close look at their favorite team was an annual occurrence. Due to the expensive costs for tickets to games, training camp was the only opportunity for the average fan to see the Ravens in person.

The bleachers that surround the practice fields at the Under Armour Performance Center can hold up to 2,000 fans according to the team site. On any given day, those bleachers were full of fans in previous years.

The Ravens are one of the most popular teams in the NFL. The franchise has a unique bond and connection to the community. A lot of the players normally have football camps for the underprivileged youth in the Baltimore area. These camps weren’t able to take place this year because of the pandemic.

The team is aware of how much the fans love the Ravens. But they’re wisely taking a safety first approach. “It is critically important that we protect the well-being of our players,coaches, staff, fans and overall community,” Ravens President Dick Cass explained via the team site. “Health and safety will always be a top priority, and while we are disappointed that fans will not attend training camp, we believe this decision is in the best interest of the public and our organization. We look forward to welcoming back fans in the future when we can safely do so.

” It’s unfortunate that so many fans won’t get that up close look at the Ravens but it’s more important to do everything possible to limit the spread of Covid-19.


text: As my semester abroad is coming to an end I feel as I have experienced enough to give an overview and the pros and cons of my time here in San Jose Costa Rica. Time has gone by fast and slow at the same time, I remember my first day here like it was yesterday, yet it feels like such as long time ago. To be completely honest the first day was probably the worst day I had to get up at four in the mourning to catch a five hour flight in Atlanta. Flying within the US is stressful enough for me so flying by myself to a different country was quite nerve racking. When I arrived, I was feeling a mix of excited and anxiousness. It took me a while to find my bags and the lady that was supposed to pick my up. If you have the option, I highly suggest you get your tickets and transportation through the program, so you don’t have to figure out a way to get to your homestay by yourself. After I finally got to my homestay, I was greeted by an elderly Costa Rican couple, who were very nice, but they don’t speak English and it was a very long day, so I felt very overwhelmed. It was very late when I arrived so after some greetings and a house tour, I went to my room to unpack and settle in. although the first day was very hard after a good night’s rest, I woke up feeling much better and excited to start my journey. Being here in San Jose in the middle, I’ve got to see just about every part of the country. San Jose itself is in the middle of the country so there aren’t any beaches nearby, but it is in the middle of a mountain range. It is also the capital, so it is a bustling downtown area. My favorite part of the city is the main parks they have incorporated to separate the busy city life and the view from the tops of the mountains are to die for.

Seeing as how in the last post I talked about the great festivities that are nearly upon us here in Chile, and the excessive consumption of alcohol associated with said party, it seems worthwhile to give a small platform to that most watery and insipid after-dinner refreshment or afternoon cure-all, the aguita de hierbas. Tea in Chile is tea, from the plant that makes tea. Anything else is not “té de hierbas” (which would be a bad translation) but rather an aguita (or agua) de hierbas. Careful on those direct translations, they’ll get you every time (details to follow, of course).

Bueno (well). So here in Chile, you will often be offered an herbal tea after dinner or in the afternoon. On many occasions I have been offered a snip of this or that in a cup, or perhaps even the urban version a selection of teabags containing herbs. For me, for years, the most dreaded of all of these snips or bags was boldo.

Boldo is a tree that’s native to Chile, a slow-growing sclerophyllous (that means thick-leaved) tree that has a delicious green almost menthol-like smell (but nowhere near as strong as eucalyptus). It’s native to Chile and wherever you are, you can guaranteee that one of the aguitas de hierbas that you will be offered is boldo. For years, I tried to be game, tried to like boldo “tea” because it seemed an offense to not like what seems to be Chileans’ favorite.

I’ll be honest here, I didn’t like it because I detected a strong flavor reminiscent of the smell of unclean litterbox, and though I do miss having a cat, that is one feature of not having a cat that I do not miss.

F, a Chilean friend of mine who moved to the south of Chile to be a professor (and knows more about sea creatures than most living humans, and that’s no lie) was telling me one day that he couldn’t even fathom what it is people don’t like about boldo, but that Americans always think it’s unappealing. I didn’t have the heart to tell him about the litterbox, but he might read here, in which case he probably knows by now. Hi, F!

And you know, I hate to be predictable, so I had tried and tried boldo “tea”, and suffered through many a scrunched-up face as I gulped the tea down. So I was pretty surprised when I bought a variety pack of herbal tea the other day, with menta (mint) and manzanilla (chamomile) and boldo (yeah, boldo) and tried the boldo just one last time and found it to be litterbox free. It was fragrant, green, and not entirely vile. I’m still not singing the praises of boldo loudly and with vigor, but I guess it just goes to show you that tastes can change, that boldo isn’t disgusting, and that sometimes it’s better to hold your opinion than broadcast it. I must remind myself of that sometime.

And if you were wondering, South America has a long tradition of drinking tisanes, or herbal teas. The ones we see the most here are:

menta (mint)
manzanilla (chamomile)
boldo (boldo)
rosa mosqueta (rosehip)
llantén (plantain leaf?)
melissa (lemon balm)
cedrón (lemon verbena)
poleo pennyroyal
anise (fennel seed)

There may be some more, but these are the ones I’ve had thrust upon me or offered to me in recent years. I must admit that I had to do a little research to find out what some of those teas were, and I should probably write another post with their alleged medicinal qualities, but mainly I was shocked that poleo is pennyroyal, since that is an herb that is known to cause what we talked about in this post, which let’s just say is frowned upon here in Chile.

But I like learning new things, and also exploring new websites like, which seems to be a good resource on Chilean plants, sells seeds and apparently they can also take you on tours. Where you will, wait, wait, you’re going to like this:

Go plant-watching.

Okay class, let’s review. The main difference between see and watch? Right, it’s about the mobility of the item (going to go see a movie being a broad exception). So unless these rooted examples of national heritage and plant kingdom splendor uproot themselves and take a walk around the block, this is (you guessed it), another bad translation. Perhaps plant tours or plant sighting, even plant-peeping, if you want to get cute about it. But plant-watching? I don’t care if you’d use the word avistar in Spanish and for whales that’s watching. Plants? not the same as whales.

And now we can find out if has the time and energy of the Chilean government, which, when brought face-to-face with the truth that shattered meat is, indeed hard to come by, actually changed their website,

I feel so powerful. It must be all the boldo.
