K&N 57-1511-2 Air Intake

57 Series FIPK > Performance Air Intake System
Rating Star 1 Rating Star 2 Rating Star 3 Rating Star 4 Rating Star 5   4.9 out of 5 stars   27 Customer Reviews
  • Guaranteed to increase horsepower
  • Designed to improve throttle response and engine sound
  • Lasts up to 100,000 miles before service is required (depending on driving conditions)
  • Replaces entire factory air intake system
  • Free-flowing high density polyethylene tube
  • Easy to install, usually in 90 minutes or less
  • Washable and reusable lifetime air filter
  • K&N Million Mile Limited Warranty
The K&N 57-1511-2 Air Intake fits some Dodge Ram 1500 Pickup, and Dodge Ram 2500 Pickup models. See vehicle applications link for details.
The K&N 57-1511-2 FIPK air intake system replaces the restrictive factory air filter and air intake housing in some Dodge Ram pickups models. K&N intakes are designed to dramatically reduce intake restriction as they smooth and straighten air flow. This allows your Ram’s engine to inhale a larger amount of air than the factory air filter assembly. More air means more usable power and acceleration throughout the engine’s RPM range. The 57-1511-2 air intake comes with a chrome topped K&N high-flow air filter and a heat shield that installs into the previous air box space. Air is directed through an aerodynamically engineered intake tube into the engine’s throttle body for a guaranteed power gain. The air intake system accommodates the factory crank case vent hose, EVAP assembly and A/C line. The oversized cone shaped air filter can be used for up to 100,000 miles before servicing is needed depending on driving conditions. This air intake is relatively easy to install usually in 90 minutes or less using the existing factory mounting points and requires commonly available tools. K&N 57 Series FIPK's are street legal in all 50 US states and come with K&N's Million Mile Limited Warranty.

Wednesday, February 15, 2017 - Part 57-1511-2
Gained some great HP. The system is a little hard to get in because the throttle body is so close to the fire wall. Other than that the install was great. Truck even sounds better. My whole family uses K&N products. My youngest son just got his first car and was disappointed he could not put a K&N cold air intake. That's the California law for his car. Thanks for the great products you make, they keep all my vehicles running great.

The kit was easy to install. My gas mileage has improved but I have not ran a full tank through it to actually know how much. Thanks for the help. I should have done this a long time ago. It will definitely pay for itself.

Great product. For a novice mechanic, or everyday Joe, the written instructions were no help. I had to watch the videos to get it installed. Once I figured out where everything had to bolt on to, it went right in and was an easy install. I could feel that the engine had a little more pep than usual and it sounded like a beast. Thank you K&N!

I love k&N products. It does exactly what you'd expect and the quality is amazing. Perfect fit and pretty much idiot proof install. Plus the warranty is seriously amazing. I wish every company would back up their products like this. Definitely worth the money.

Did exactly what I expected it to. Bought one for my Avenger a few years ago and loved it. Just recently bought this one for my Ram 1500 and its still just as great.

March-April Combo Update!

by James Loizou

The Nerds at LAI Video have been so busy, we skipped a monthly update! Here's the double-stuffed takeaway for our coolest projects in March and April.

Surprise! you're Amazing!

We continued our partnership with the DC Education Fund to highlight some of DC Public’s schools’ finest teachers, staff and programs. Different from standard awards fare, the Standing Ovation videos capture that OMG! surprise moment on camera. The results may move you.

Certified Super-Stardom

We partnered with CFP Board to launch their new “I’m a CFP Pro” campaign — an outreach initiative to remind younger folks that financial planning can be a [certified] good time.

Design by Stickers

We produced a series of eye-popping, foot-tapping videos to play throughout CEO Update’s inaugural Roundtable event. Call them openers. Call them bumpers. Call them a kaleidoscope of crazy! Designed as a cross between walk-out music and a full-blown session opener, these short vids aren't your grandfather's intro videos.

keep in-touch with your best customers

We partnered with Topdown Systems to promote their new CCM solution INTOUCH. Just as the software reinvented cloud-based platforms, Topdown wanted to re-think its marketing from the bottom-up.

We jumped into the world of locally regulated banking, looking to transform key statistics and concepts into an animated explainer. Making the “go local” argument for loans, the short script presents state banks as the obvious choice for knowing your business — and for knowing you!

A Nerd Does SXSW

Kate Burns and I jumped into our first “south-by” experience, which can only be described through an overwhelming montage. The experience can also be described with photos and random thoughts from some very thoughtful people.

Our Brand New Fo’ Real Motion Reel

With a new logo, comes a new motion graphics reel. This mixtape of our favorite visual projects shows-off the tremendous strides our motionographers have made in only a couple of years.

What is a "Day in the Life?"

I attempt to explain the concept of “day in the life,” referencing a number of clips from some of our best videos that feature real-life humans. During another event commercial, I talked about the importance of experimentation (spoiler alert: it’s important).

Dex Torricke-Barton on Video

Former Facebook, Google and SpaceX pro Dex Torrick-Barton drops some names and some knowledge about video consumption and the rapid growth of the online market. Patrick cut together the brief clip of Dex’s speaker visit to our office.

It's not too late to spring into your next marketing project. Contact us today to start that OMG, unbelievable experience.

Lancing Prep Hove Open Morning 12 May 2018

Lancing Prep Hove is a day school for girls and boys aged 3 to 13 years. It is located on a leafy campus of some seven acres in the heart of Hove and approximately eight miles from Lancing College.

In March 2015, ISI Inspectors rated Lancing Prep Hove as excellent across the board in every category, notably for the quality of pupils’ achievements and learning, the contribution of curricular and co-curricular provision, the quality of pupils’ personal development and quality of arrangements for pastoral care.

We know the importance of giving our pupils an environment in which they feel happy and secure. School days are vibrant and busy. Our children are encouraged to be brave, to push themselves to be the best they can, and not to be afraid of making mistakes in pursuit of learning. Every child has a sense of their true worth as an individual but also as part of the family.

Welcome from the Head Mistress

How much deposit will first time buyers need?

How much deposit will first time buyers need in the future?

This interactive map shows how deposits required by first-time buyers have increased dramatically over the past two decades, and could rocket again over the next 10 years.

Although the minimum deposit first-time buyers are required to put down can be as little as 5% of the property value, high house prices in many areas of the UK mean much larger deposits are often needed to ensure mortgage payments are affordable.

The map reveals how in some cases buyers are currently already having to save six figure sums to get onto the property ladder. Average first-time buyer deposits could be set to increase by nearly 60% over the next 10 years.

How to use it

See how much first-time buyers have had to put down as a deposit in previous decades and this year by clicking on the relevant years at the bottom of the map. Then click on different cities to see how deposits compare. Clicking on future years and then different cities enables you to see how much first-time buyers may need to save as a deposit if they want to buy in the next five or 10 years.

Figures shown on this map are based on research carried out by Opinium Research, which used data from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) House Price Index to work out the average purchase prices and mortgage advances given to first-time buyers in the UK’s 17 key cities over the past 20 years.

Deposits were calculated by deducting the average purchase price in each city from the average mortgage advance in that area.

Opinium forecast future house price growth based on how prices have risen over the past 20 years, and used this to calculate how much future first-time buyers would need to save as a deposit to ensure mortgage payments remain affordable.

Notre Dame Catholic School
Admissions & Registration

Catholic education serves to support the healthy development of children and youth in a caring, Christ-centred learning environment. The London District Catholic School Board is rooted in Catholic education to embrace equity of outcomes for all students and grow to understand God’s loving embrace in the spirit of Jesus Christ. The mission of the London District Catholic School Board is:

To serve the Catholic student
in a community that nurtures a living faith
and provides a quality Catholic education
that enables the individual
to become a contributing member
of the Church and Society.

At the heart of Catholic Education is the understanding of the importance of a curriculum that emphasizes both faith and reason. We see how faith and reason are at the heart of all we do and how they are articulated in the Ontario Catholic Graduate Expectations. Pope John Paul II points to this importance when he says,

“Faith and reason are like two wings on which the human spirit rises to the contemplation of truth; and God has placed in the human heart a desire to know the truth—in a word, to know himself—so that, by knowing and loving God, men and women may also come to the fullness of truth about themselves
(Fides et Ratio, 1998).

Catholic schools are concerned with all student learning, about connecting faith and life, and ensuring that faith “… permeates all the school, all of life, and all that is undertaken and lived in Catholic Education”
(Build Bethlehem Everywhere, p. 16).

In doing so, the London District Catholic School Board proudly celebrates:

  • A commitment to embracing a Christ-centred, inclusive and caring community that is focused on the Gospels and teachings of Jesus Christ.
  • The sacredness of human life as a core belief in which all students understand and witness to the creative action of God.
  • Prayer and a vibrant sacramental life as central to the life of our schools.
  • The Ontario Catholic Graduate Expectations as an integral focus of student learning and achievement.
  • Corporal and spiritual works of mercy and the social teachings of the Catholic Church (i.e. dignity of the human person, preferential option for the poor and vulnerable).

We pray that God will bless us with grace in our commitment to support the spiritual, academic and social development of children.

Grilling the perfect, juiciest burger is more than just forming a patty and slapping it onto the grill. Whether you're using ground beef, pork, chicken, turkey or lamb, choosing and handling the ingredients is only half of the process. The real secret to the perfect burger -- whether prepared on a gas, charcoal or infrared grill -- is patience. Resisting the temptation to be the overzealous grill master by adhering to a few basic techniques will produce juicy, perfectly cooked burgers.

The perfect burger is worth waiting for.

Fat Is a Good Thing

A little fat is not the enemy when you're aspiring to create the perfect burger from scratch. Grilling expert Steven Raichlen, writing for, suggests that buying ground meat with a 15 percent fat content will keep the burger from drying out on the grill. Meat loses moisture when it's ground, and moisture is essential to a great burger. However, don't despair if you think your burger meat may be too lean. Adding 2 to 3 tablespoons of ice cold water per 1 pound of meat will help to restore the moisture content, which will result in a juicier burger, says

Mixing and Shaping

Many grilling purists use nothing more than salt and pepper in their homemade burgers. However, those searching for extra flavor can add diced onions and mushrooms, minced garlic or even spicy peppers to give grilled burgers an extra kick.

No matter what you include in the mixture, how you combine the ingredients is paramount. Handle the meat as little as possible. Using your hands, combine the mixture only until the ingredients are incorporated and you can still see bits of meat. The key here is to retain moisture. Over-mixing will actually force the moisture out of the meat and result in a denser, drier burger.

Employ the same gentle technique for shaping the burgers. Form each patty just until it binds together. A loosely packed burger will be juicier, says Using your thumb, make a dimple into the center of each patty to maintain its shape during the grilling process. A dimple in the center of the burger lessens the center "bloat" that often results when the outside edges of a grilled burger are done before the middle cooks.

Setting Up the Grill

A perfect burger can be cooked on any type of grill, as long as it's set up to produce both direct and indirect heat. For example, turn one side of a gas or infrared grill to higher heat and leave the other side at a lower temperature. On a charcoal grill, pile the briquettes to one side to ensure the other side will be cool enough for indirect cooking. An infrared grill will cook the meat more quickly because of its intense heat, so keep a keen eye on the meat to prevent it from becoming burned.

Scrape the grates to remove any leftover food and then brush the grates with vegetable oil to prevent the burgers from sticking. Alternatively, Raichlen says brushing a little olive oil or melted butter on both sides of the uncooked burgers achieves the same effect.

Don't Flip Out

Place the burgers on the grill over direct heat to sear and caramelize the outside of the meat. After about 2 minutes, give the burger a quarter turn to produce the crosshatch grill marks. Alternatively, if using an infrared grill, keep the lid open and check the burgers after about 1 minute. When you notice droplets of blood forming on the raw side, it's time to flip. Repeat the process on the other side, then transfer the burgers to the cooler side of the grill to finish cooking.

The perfect grilled burger should only be flipped once. The juices are pushed away from the heat source when grilling, and says that flipping the burger only once retains the moisture.

Never use your spatula to flatten the burger because doing so depletes the meat of its juices and defeats the quest for the perfect burger.

Play It Safe

Grilled burgers don't take long to cook. suggests that after the burgers are flipped, grill them another 2 to 3 minutes for medium-rare, 3 to 4 minutes for medium or 5 to 6 minutes for well-done. The time frame on an infrared grill coud be a somewhat shorter. Of course, nobody wants to equate a delicious grilled burger to a foodborne illness. The best way to make sure your burger is cooked thoroughly is to insert a food thermometer into the thickest part of the burger. The USDA advises to make sure the internal temperature is at least 160 degrees Fahrenheit before eating.

Obituary Condolences

Lawrence Bowen Obituary
Lawrence ( Larry) Bowen

On Monday April 15th , God decided that He needed one more guitar picker in his band and called Lar home.

Lar was born in Ely, Nevada in 1944 and grew up in Mc Gill, the son of Casey and Anne Sertic Bowen. He was preceded in death by them and his sister Linda Bowen Carson. Lar is survived by his partner Vicky Schliem; son Casey Bowen and his mother Judy Bowen; and daughter Chloe` Bowen and her mother Barbara Schwartz; and by Ron Bowen and his wife Renee Bowen.

Lar was an Army veteran of Viet Nam before returning home to spend a 30-year career in the service of others as a Social Worker for the State of Nevada. He was devoted to the people he served.

He was a good and honorable man, quick-witted, a fantastic store teller and a great front porch picker. He was a loving father, brother, generous and always helpful to family and friends alike. An avid outdoorsman, Lar loved the Nevada back country and cherished his cats.

Lar's wishes were for no funeral services. Rather he requested a celebration of life which will be scheduled later in the summer. Further, he asked that any donations be made in his memory to Special Olympics.

A cash strapped council is switching from weekly to fortnightly bin collections in a move that will affect more than 41,000 households.

The decision was approved by members of Blaby District Council, which covers an area including Braunstone Town, Thorpe Astley, Countesthorpe and Enderby.

It was made after external funding for its recycling service was reduced by £745,000.

The district council used to get £240,000 a year from the Government and a further £505,000 a year from Leicestershire County Council but the district was recently warned that funding would disappear.

That prompted a consultation exercise with residents that took place between October and November of last year.

More than 8,800 responses were received and after an in-depth study of the data, the council decided the best way forward was for fortnightly collections from this summer onwards.

The decision was made during a council meeting last night.

poll loading

Can you cope with fortnightly bin collections?

Council leader Terry Richardson said: “Our new scheme will not only help us to close the financial gap left by the substantial loss in funding, but it has been designed to ensure that we continue to deliver a first-rate service.

“The feedback from the consultation was extremely valuable to us and I should like to thank all those residents who participated for taking the time to give us their views.

“Change is never welcome but almost all councils now offer a service similar to the one we are moving to.

“What I can assure residents is that we have the quality of staff who will manage this transition efficiently, be available to address residents’ questions, and who will continue to deliver a service we can all be proud of.”

For large households who will not be able to cope with the switch, larger bins will be made available for free and any residents can chose to have a larger bin than the one they qualify for by paying a one-off charge, yet to be determined.

The smallest kind of wheelie bins are 140 litres and the council will offer households with up to three occupants a switch to a 280-litre bin for free.

Those with four to six occupants will be able to get a 380-litre bin and homes with seven or more will be able to get 480-litre bins.

Coun Richardson said: “Evidence from the consultation shows that a large proportion of residents will see no change in their bin size and for those who meet the criteria for larger bins exchanges will be arranged should they wish.

“In addition, where residents would like a larger bin, but do not meet the criteria, we will meet this request, but charges will/may be applicable.”

Further details on the new scheme, as they are finalised, and a frequently asked questions page, will be available here.

National awards for Leigh’s sporty school

Celebrating the award
Celebrating the award
Share this article

A Leigh primary school has received a national sports award after seeing a large increase in the number of pupils taking up sport.

St Gabriel’s Catholic Primary School, in Higher Folds, was awarded the Gold School Games Mark Award for the amazing rise in youngsters getting involved in school sports events.

The award is a Government-led scheme which was launched in 2012. Facilitated by the Youth Sport Trust, it serves to reward schools for their commitment to the development of competition across their school and into the community.

Other news: Late mum Laura inspires double charity initiative

Participating in the process allows schools to evaluate their PE provision, and assists them in developing an action plan for future progress.

Pupils from the school rubbed shoulders with Olympian Beth Tweddle as they received the school’s award at Lowton High School.

Achievements throughout the year which earned St Gabriel’s the coveted award included more children attending its after-school clubs, including many who initially lacked enough confidence to compete.

The school also saw an increase in the number of children becoming volunteer coaches and play leaders and developed a well-established sports council.

Having been bestowed with the award, St Gabriel’s will be able to use the School Games Mark logo on all correspondence, letterheads and on its website, and will be able to proudly display a certificate throughout the school building.

The school’s PE co-ordinator Mrs Fox said: “With an increased number of young people competing in local inter-schools competitions this year, we are extremely proud of our pupils for their dedication to all aspects of school sport, including those young volunteers, leaders and officials who made our competitions possible.

Ina Garten, bestselling cookbook author and beloved star of Barefoot Contessa on Food Network, is back with her easiest recipes ever.

In Barefoot Contessa How Easy Is That? Ina proves once again that it doesn't take complicated techniques, special equipment, or stops at more than one grocery store to make wonderful dishes for your family and friends. Her newest must-have cookbook is all about saving time and avoiding stress while having fun in the kitchen.

These are not recipes with three ingredients thrown together in five minutes; instead home cooks will find fantastic Barefoot Contessa recipes that are easy to make but still have all that deep, delicious flavor Ina is known for--and that makes a meal so satisfying. Think Pink Grapefruit Margaritas served with Smoked Salmon Deviled Eggs--two classics with a twist. For lunch, Ina makes everyone's favorite Ultimate Grilled Cheese sandwich and Snap Peas with Pancetta. For dinner, try Jeffrey's Roast Chicken (tried and true ); Steakhouse Steaks, which come out perfectly every time and--with Ina's easy tip--couldn't be simpler; or an Easy Parmesan "Risotto" that you throw in the oven instead of stirring endlessly on the stovetop. Finally, Ina's desserts never disappoint--from Red Velvet Cupcakes to Chocolate Pudding Cream Tart.

To top it all off, Ina also shares her best tips for making cooking really easy. She leaves bowls of lemons and limes on the counter not only because they look great but because they also remind her that a squeeze of lemon in a dish brightens the flavors. She shows us the equipment that makes a difference to her--like sharp knives, the right zester, an extra bowl for her electric mixer--and that can help you in your kitchen, too.

Filled with 225 gorgeous full-color photographs, Barefoot Contessa How Easy is That? is the perfect kitchen companion for busy home cooks who still want fabulous flavor.

1.”We could not have asked for better care for my mother in her final days. The staff at Open Heart, Open Home were truly wonderful in assisting my mother with all of her personal care needs. I am eternally grateful to you Julia, Thomas, and Irma for making her transition without any worries”. – M. Gershner.

2. “Our family and friends are so pleased knowing that Mother is not only safe, but with very loving and caring people. My Mother spent many days alone in her home since Dad passed away needing some one to care for her personal and physical needs. Open Heart, Open Home provided that nurturing ,environment that she needed. We all thank you and keep you in our prayers”. – Kim, Richard, and Vickie.

3. “My father has lived at Open Heart, Open Home for the past 4 years; I would like to say that the owners and all the caregivers are very attentive to his needs and have created a loving environment that we are all very pleased with”. – E. Rosenthal.

4. “I was very blessed to find a place to care for my Mother where everyone is treated like a loving family. Open Heart has done just that, Open their hearts out to my mother and my entire family. I thank all the staff for the wonderful care we have received. – C. Smith.

5. “My Mom needed more than just a cubical room with a Nurses’s station at the end of the hall. She is confused, and quite visually impaired,so she needed 24-hour care, which she now receives at Open Heart, OpenHome, but in a cozy, home like setting. With assistance no more than moments away. She can sleep late in the morning if it pleases her, and breakfast and coffee will be ready when she is. – W. Craven.

6. “Open Heart, Open Home was truly a blessing for me and my family. My 93 year old mother had been living with us when she had a minor stroke. I was no longer able to care for her and had to find alternative living arrangements. After looking into Nursing Homes and larger facilities, I knew there had to be a better solution. Open Heart, Open Home proved to be the perfect alternative to a larger Assisted Living Facility where my mother was not getting the one on one care she needed. The setting of a private home gave her the feeling of living with family, while getting the nursing care and assistance with activities of daily life that she required. For anyone needing Assisted Living, there is no comparison. Open Heart, Open Home is a cut above. – G. Hinson.

Box Modeling Technique Defined

Designer using laptop at office desk
Hero Images/ GettyImages

Box modeling is a 3D modeling technique in which the artist begins with a low-resolution primitive (typically a cube or sphere) and modifies the shape by extruding, scaling, or rotating faces and edges. Detail is added to a 3D primitive either by manually adding edge loops, or by subdividing the entire surface uniformly to increase polygonal resolution by an order of magnitude.

The most common and popular example would be the resurgence of 3D technology in major motion pictures where this technology is used; this began with the success of the film Avatar, the 2009 blockbuster from director James Cameron.

The film helped to transform the SD industry and used many of the concepts of box modeling.

Other modeling techniques: Digital sculpting, NURBS modeling

Also Known As: Subdivision modeling

Bomb Goes Off in NYC, but CNN Obsesses Over Trump’s Diet Coke Habits

The network faces mockery for the multiple segments it devoted to coverage of the president's eating and drinking preferences

by Kathryn Blackhurst | Updated 27 Dec 2017 at 9:46 AM

A terrorist tried to blow up the New York subway system early Monday — but CNN hosts and correspondents obsessed all day long and into Tuesday about President Donald Trump’s love of junk food and his habit of drinking as many as 12 Diet Cokes a day.

“The most trusted name in news” talked all day about Trump’s health — and all but salivated over The New York Times’ Saturday report that claimed Trump consumes a dozen Diet Cokes a day.

"President Trump reportedly drinks up to 12 Diet Cokes a day. Is that good?" CNN host Chris Cuomo asked Tuesday on "New Day." "I mean, I guess it's better than regular Coke."

"Is it?" co-host Alisyn Camerota chimed in, struggling to stifle her laughter throughout the segment.

Cuomo and Camerota then brought in CNN chief medical correspondent Dr. Sanjay Gupta to discuss the dangers of drinking 12 Diet Cokes a day while loving Big Macs and chocolate shakes.

Gupta also spoke with CNN's Don Lemon on Monday night on "CNN Tonight" about the perils that might be dogging the president's health. Gupta told Lemon it's important "to talk about cardiovascular disease, talk about diabetes, talk about increasing your risk for dementia."

He continued, "But also on a more acute basis, if you will, irritability, obviously worsening insomnia, poor judgment. No doctor, no matter who it is, is going to recommend this as a diet for him."

CNN host Brooke Baldwin also felt the need to devote a segment Monday to covering the president's Diet Coke-drinking habits — while pointing to the 12 cans CNN helpfully lined up on-screen.

Related: Left-Wing Journo Calls Out Anti-Trump Media Bias in Don Jr.-WikiLeaks Debacle

Because CNN felt that the Times story on Trump's diet deserved extensive coverage on these eventful two days, it fielded criticism and mockery.

"Astonishing how quickly CNN pivoted from NYC explosion to ridiculous story Trump drinking a lot of Diet Coke #FactsFirst," Rich Noyes, Media Research Center's (MRC) research director, tweeted Monday.

"U.S. News was talking about the bombing at 7:54 [a.m.]. Nearly an hour later, CNN is whining about [how] Donald Trump drinks Diet Cokes and watches too much TV instead of reporting about terrorism in New York City," Dan Gainor, MRC's vice president, told Fox News on Monday.

Daily Caller reporter Amber Athey tweeted Monday, "Remember when everyone criticized Fox News for talking about the hamburger emoji? I would love people to give the same scrutiny to @CNN and @MSNBC, who cut away from a terror attack to talk about Trump watching TV and drinking diet coke."

BuzzFeed correspondent Vera Bergengruen tweeted Monday, "The president drinks a lot of Diet Coke and CNN is ON IT."

Increase in drink-driving detections in Limerick

David Hurley

David Hurley

Inspector Paul Reidy says there has been a concerted effort to clamp down on drink-driving offences. Picture: Adrian Butler
THE number of motorists arrested in Limerick on suspicion of drink driving increased by more than 7% last year compared to 2014.

THE number of motorists arrested in Limerick on suspicion of drink driving increased by more than 7% last year compared to 2014.

Provisional figures show there were a total of 353 people arrested across the Limerick garda division during 2015 for drink-driving related offences compared to 327 during the previous 12- month period.

The figures include arrests which were made by both uniformed gardai as well as members of the divisional traffic corps.

“The figures show there was a concerted effort (during 2015) to deter incidents of drink driving and it is disappointing to see such an increase in the number of detections,” said Inspector Paul Reidy, head of the divisional traffic corps.

The majority of those arrested on suspicion have been prosecuted and many are currently before the courts awaiting trial.

While the number of drink-driving detections increased last year, the number of fatalities more than halved.

Four people died in four separate accidents during 2015 compared to 11 in 2014 and five in both 2013 and 2012.

The figure is less than a fifth of the number of fatalities in 2009 when 23 people died. “There has been a real effort in recent years and we have certain things in place and they are paying dividends,” said Insp Reidy

Two of those who died last year were pedestrians while the other two were passengers in cars which were in collision with other vehicle.

Three of the fatal accidents occurred in the Newcastle West garda district while one was in the Roxboro Road garda district at Clarina.

Nationally, the number of road deaths fell by 15% to 165 during 2015. An analysis of the fatal collisions, published by the Road Safety Authority (RSA) shows July and December were the deadliest with 20 fatalities during each of the three months.

There were 32 road deaths on Sundays and the deadliest time of day was 10am and 12pm – accounting for 20 fatalities.

“While every death on our roads is one death too many, I sincerely hope that 2015 is a return to the steady progress we were making as a country, up to 2012, to make our roads safer for everybody,” said the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport, Paschal Donohoe.

While welcoming the downward trend in terms of serious accidents recorded, Insp Reidy said that gardai locally will not be resting on their laurels this year.

He added that a major concern to the force is the continued use of mobile phones by drivers.

“You would have to be blind not to see the amount of motorists who are using a mobile phone while driving, he said.

“It is one of the most dangerous high-risk actions and I would appeal to people to acquire a hands free kit,” he added.

The character of Angel Trias in Blood Meridian from LitCharts | The creators of SparkNotes

Blood Meridian

Angel Trias Character Analysis

The Governor of Chihuahua, Trias was sent abroad for his education as a young man and is well read in the Classics, second in erudition only to the Judge, with whom he converses at length during a banquet held in the scalp hunters’ honor. Trias contracts Glanton’s gang to hunt the warlike and despotic Apaches in Sonora, and to pay the men for each Apache scalp they return with. However, when the scalp hunters begin slaughtering Mexican citizens, Trias rescinds the contract and places a bounty on Glanton’s head.

Property Titling: From Rights Of Possession To Freehold Titles

Taking Title To Property Overseas—A Primer

A number of years ago, I bought a terrific property in Vilcabamba, Ecuador, from a friend. It was a good-sized parcel of land with a simple home, a guest cottage, and more than 150 feet of river frontage. With a bounty of tropical fruits and coffee plants and surrounded by beautiful mountains, it was a real paradise.

After a couple of years and much Spanish study I got around to actually reading the title. What I discovered was that I hadn’t actually bought the property outright, but rather I’d bought shares of an inheritance from four descendants of the original owner. And to make matters worse, I wasn’t completely sure if I’d accounted for all the descendants.

One of the trickiest aspects of property investing overseas is verifying that you’ve got a clean title. In North America this is something we take for granted. However, overseas, ownership laws vary from one country to the next, and can even vary among regions of the same country.

To save you having to learn this lesson the hard way (as I did), here are details of the kinds of titles you might encounter when purchasing real estate overseas, including important cautions…

Freehold Title

A freehold title, sometimes called “fee simple,” is the highest form of property title. This is the one you want. Originally from English law, the term means you have absolute title to land, free of any other claims against the title, and that you can sell it or pass it on by will or inheritance. It’s the norm in the United States and Canada.

Freehold titles provide the only absolute form of property ownership, and, generally, it’s the only form of land title that we’d recommend. For reference, freehold title translates as cuerpo cierto in Spanish and corpo certo in Portuguese.

Rights And Shares

Rights and shares (derechos y acciones) is a term you’ll see on some Latin American titles, and it should throw up a red flag. What this means is that you’re buying someone’s “rights” to the property (or their share of the property), rather than the entire property as a whole. Normally, it’s someone’s inheritance… and it’s what I bought on the river in Ecuador, mentioned above.

Buying property this way can work for you if you’re sure that you have all the rights, from all of the heirs. In that case, you should be able to convert the rights and shares to a normal title. However, if you miss an heir, you may find yourself sharing the property with an unintended partner.

I successfully converted my title in Ecuador to a freehold title, but I was lucky, and it’s a gamble I’m not likely to make again. In the future, I’ll make the conversion to a freehold title a condition of the sale, to be met prior to closing.

A concession title means that you have documented use of the land, typically for a specified period of time. You generally have the right to occupy the land, improve it, build on it, and, in many cases, pass it on to your heirs. Most often, concession titles are granted by governments for coastal land. Essentially, it’s a form of lease.

But you don’t own the property outright or unconditionally. Concessions are used in many parts of the world, and there is a wide variation in how they are administered by the respective governments. In some areas, this is the most common form of beachfront ownership.

Be advised that when title checks are performed, local attorneys will often consider a concession title to be a good, or “clean,” title when it has no liens against it. It’s up to you as the buyer to ask if it’s a concession and decide if this is how you want to hold the land.

Land on a concession title can generally be bought and sold like land with freehold title, and it often stays in the same family for generations. I don’t know of any case where a government has revoked a concession and evicted the occupant, but you should be aware that this is permitted by law. In these cases, the government typically reimburses the occupant for any improvements he’s made to the land.

Rights Of Possession

Rights of possession is another way of holding a property in Latin America, but it’s not title. When you hold rights of possession, you have been granted the right to occupy or use the property, but you don’t own it. You can resell the rights of possession, but, again, the buyer would not be buying title to the property… only the right to use or occupy it. This is the riskiest way to acquire property, because, one more time, you’re not in fact acquiring the property, only the right to use it.

We’ve known many people over the years who have purchased rights of possession. If you find the beachfront property of your dreams in the location where you want to be only to discover that it’s rights of possession, maybe you proceed with the transaction regardless. If all you intend is to put up a shack to use for fishing weekends with your buddies, not a big deal. However, you wouldn’t want to build your dream home on a piece of rights of possession land.

Rights of possession, under various forms, are generally granted by the government. Sometimes this is done to encourage people to farm the land or to otherwise use it productively without granting ownership.

When the rights are granted to a group of people to work the land collectively, this is called cooperativa land in some countries and it’s referred to as ejido land in Mexico.

Unlike concessions, rights of possession are more transient and subject to adverse claims.

Possessory Title (Or Adverse Possession)

A possessory title is one that’s granted via some sort of “rights of possession” through “adverse possession.” In many countries, if you’ve occupied the land long enough, you eventually can petition for the rights to title it. Adverse possession is usually defined as “a method of gaining legal title to real property by the actual, open, hostile, and continuous possession of it to the exclusion of its true owner for the period prescribed by governing law.”

In simple English, this means that the right to possess the land was obtained because someone laid claim to it after occupying it for a time, perhaps as a squatter. The amount of possessory time varies from one country to another. I’ve seen “occupation times” as short as 2 years in some countries and as long as 12 in others, before one could ask for a possessory title.

A possessory title is not necessarily a bad title, but it can be. In Nicaragua, for example, there are cases where possessory titles were granted to individuals who filed claims against the government. If this happened after 1917, the title is not valid and there’s no statute of limitations.

In many countries, a possessory title can never be converted to a freehold title. This is a problem many face in Bocas del Toro, Panama, for example, where abandoned fruit plantations have underlying titles.

When buying property in Latin America, it’s critical to carry out a comprehensive title review in accordance with the laws of the country where you’re buying. The only way to do this is with the help of a qualified local real estate attorney. He (or she) will be experienced at finding liens and judgments and will know the types of problems to look for.

I’ve bought many properties in the United States and have never used an attorney because I understood my rights under the law and was familiar with the controls applied to the real estate industry. However, I would never buy property in Latin America without the help of an attorney, and you shouldn’t either.

What Do I Put Over a Right Arm Cast to Play Soccer?

Famous soccer players who have played with a cast on their right arm include Chelsea forward Didier Drogba, who represented his home nation, the Ivory Coast, in the 2010 World Cup. Drogba wore a soft cast under a long-sleeved shirt in the wake of an injury days earlier. England forward Gary Lineker wore a soft cast in the 1986 World Cup and poured in six goals. If you have the misfortune to break your arm, you need to know what you can put over the cast to allow you to return safely to the field.

Video of the Day

High Schools

The National Federation of State High School Associations requires a right-arm hard cast to be covered on all surfaces with high-density, closed-cell polyurethane no less than ½ inch thick or an alternative similar material. A physician needs to sign a medical release, and the player needs to provide the release to the referee at the field. Vendors of sports medicine equipment sell kits containing sheets of foam to cover casts; the foam meets the federation standards.

If you are not a high school player, you should familiarize yourself with possible obstacles to returning to the field while you are wearing a cast. Law 4 of the Laws of the Game promulgated by FIFA, the international governing body of soccer, states that the referee must inspect and approve clothing or equipment other than basic equipment. U.S. Youth Soccer, with 3 million youth players, permits players with casts to take the field if the cast cover is inspected and approved by the referee.

Youth soccer leagues in certain states, including Texas and Wisconsin, prohibit players with casts from playing altogether. According to, these states do not allow referee discretion, based on concerns that the cast can severely injure other players. Also, the American Youth Soccer Organization, with 650,000 youth players, does not allow players to practice or participate while wearing a cast or splint; removal of a cast or splint at the field or nearby will disqualify the player.

If wearing a cast is permitted, the referee will need to approve the type of cast covering. Typical coverings in addition to foam include bubble wrap, carpet, an elastic bandage or, if you are unprepared, a T-shirt and tape. While often used, bubble wrap may cause the right arm to sweat too much in hot weather. In addition to a covering, state soccer referee associations may follow Vermont's example and require a medical release or a doctor’s note allowing you to play with a broken arm -- more likely to be granted to a field player than a goalkeeper. Further, you must agree not to use the cast in a way that is dangerous, especially near the heads of other players. A referee may remove a player who swings the cast around like a club.

The burst of flavor and the satisfying crunch of granola combine deliciously with the smooth, creaminess of yogurt. While there is no official yogurt and granola diet, using the two together or separately while losing weight is a wise choice. Both provide you with different nutrients, and you can find lower calorie versions of each one.

Video of the Day

Dietary Needs

As you diet, foods such as yogurt and granola give you part of your dairy and grain requirement, making them healthy choices. The Choose My Plate site from the U.S. Department of Agriculture includes a place for dairy with meals, and recommends that a grain choice fill up about 25 percent of your plate each meal. If you chose either a 1,200 or 1,600 calorie level while dieting, the USDA recommends having 2 1/2 to 3 cups of low calorie dairy each day and 4 to 5 ounces of grains.

Yogurt Benefits

Yogurt provides you with calcium and protein. Some fat-free, plain Greek-style yogurt varieties have 13 grams of protein per serving, which is about 28 percent of a woman’s needs and 23 percent of a man’s. Adequate protein while losing weight can help your muscles stay healthy, even as you lose fat. A cup of plain, fat-free yogurt has 137 calories, a trace of fat and 488 milligrams of calcium. A cross-sectional survey published in the August 2010 issue of the “Journal of the American College of Nutrition” reached a preliminary conclusion that individuals who consume more than 11 servings of dairy a week had “decreased levels of inflammatory markers” which are one of the ways medical professionals evaluate cardiovascular disease.

Granola Benefits

Choose low-fat granola when dieting, as regular granola contains 309 calories and 9.3 grams of fat per 3/4 cup, while low-fat versions contain about 198 calories and 3 grams of fat. Granola can also contain a lot of added sugar, so read your product label before purchasing. Fewer calories in your granola allow you to eat enough foods from the other section of Choose My Plate, including fruits, meats or beans and vegetables. Granola contains about 6 grams of fiber in 3/4 cup, according to the USDA Nutrient Data Laboratory. The September 2006 issue of the “Journal of the American Dietetic Association” published a study which found that the use of a low calorie diet including whole-grain cereals and exercise benefited the quality of the participant’s diet, including giving the participants more fiber, less saturated fat and greater amounts of vitamin B-6 and magnesium than the group who did not consume whole-grain cereals while losing weight.

Combine 1/2 cup of fat-free yogurt with 1/4 cup of low-fat granola for a 168-calorie breakfast, or add 1/2 cup of berries to the mixture. Use granola as a topping for a green salad, and Greek yogurt combined with onions, herbs and 1 teaspoon of olive oil as a healthy dressing. Coat chicken with crushed granola and bake in the oven, or use yogurt, fat-free mayonnaise and Indian seasonings as a tangy sauce for chicken salad. Measure your granola carefully to ensure you do not consume too many calories.

Many people are looking for alternatives to coffee that are also gluten-free. Coffee substitutes have often relied on roasted barley for flavor. Pero, for instance, is advertised as an "all natural beverage coffee substitute" but it is not gluten-free since it contains both rye and barley. It is important to look at the ingredient list before assuming any coffee substitute is gluten-free.

Video of the Day

Gluten-Free Definitions and Labeling

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, has set guidelines for the labeling of "gluten-free" food products. Foods that contain wheat, rye or barley or any hybrids with those grains cannot be labeled "gluten-free." Wheat is considered a common allergen, thus consumers must be warned when wheat is present in a product due to the Food Allergen Labeling and Consumer Protection Act of 2004. By checking for these ingredients, consumers can be sure whether coffee substitutes they are using are gluten-free.

Dandelion Root Coffee Substitute

Roasted dandelion root has long been used as a coffee substitute. DandyBlend coffee substitute is a roasted dandelion coffee substitute available on the market. This coffee substitute has no gluten or caffeine. While DandyBlend uses rye and barley in its ingredient list, the product website says that the gluten, "which is comprised of proteins that are not water-soluble, is left behind in the grounds to be composted during the extracting process, leaving DandyBlend gluten-free." Since DandyBlend operates out of Ohio and uses gluten-free labeling, it is assumed their claims of it being free of gluten are true as per FDA guidelines. Many recipes for homemade roasted dandelion coffee substitute are offered online. Prodigal Gardens has posted a pure dandelion coffee recipe which gives instructions about gathering and processing dandelion roots, as well as roasting and coffee-making information. By making homemade batches of dandelion coffee, consumers can avoid all unwanted added products, such as rye and barley, altogether.

Chestnut Coffee Substitute

Chestnuts can be used as a coffee substitute. Chestnut Trails sells a Chestnut Coffee Substitute that is gluten-free and is completely made of chestnuts. This coffee substitute is also free of caffeine. Simply Natural offers a chestnut coffee substitute that is also made 100 percent from chestnuts without any additives. This chestnut coffee is also free of both gluten and caffeine.

Chai and a Chicory Coffee Substitute

Chai is a spicy tea that can be made in a way that resembles coffee and is considered by many to be a healthy substitute to coffee. Black tea is found in most chai, but it contains less caffeine than coffee. provides a list of chai products available from a range of providers on its website. Prodigal Gardens offers a gluten-free chai recipe on its website that uses roasted dandelion root, anise, cardamon, cloves cinnamon, ginger, bay leaves and black pepper. Ersatz is another commercially available gluten-free coffee substitute, which is made of roasted rice, roasted peas and roasted chicory. Ersatz is free of caffeine, gluten, barley, lactose, soy and nuts.

Scorching summer heat could make return to Northern Ireland

Sun-worshippers enjoy the great weather in early June. It could make a comeback next week
Sun-worshippers enjoy the great weather in early June. It could make a comeback next week

Temperatures could soar into the high 20s in Northern Ireland at the start of next week, forecasters have predicted.

Forecasts from the Met Office are predicting a mixed picture for the rest of this week before temperatures pick up across the country for the beginning of next week.

Southern parts of England could enjoy temperatures into the low 30s while even more northerly areas of the UK, including Northern Ireland could see figures reaching the high 20s on Monday and Tuesday.

Sadly the summer sun doesn’t look set to last with thundery conditions expected to sweep in by the middle of the week bringing a drop in temperature with them.

Deputy chief operational meteorologist Laura Paterson said: “An area of low pressure looks likely to drag air up from the south across the UK.

“Despite being a week ahead, temperatures of 30-32 Celsius look more likely than not across some southern parts of the UK on Monday and Tuesday and there is a chance that even northern parts of the UK could see temperatures into the high 20s.

“Next week’s hotter weather does not look likely to last for long though with a thundery breakdown and eventual transition to cooler conditions expected by around the middle of the week.”

For those looking to make the most of the hot weather by heading to the beach, the RNLI has said: “Our key advice for people planning a trip to the beach, especially those planning to go in the water, is to choose a lifeguarded beach and swim between the red and yellow flags, where the lifeguards can see you. We want people to have fun at the beach, but to make sure they stay safe while they’re enjoying themselves.”

Leisurely walk can banish the blues better than a jog

A simple walk in the park could improve your mood
A simple walk in the park could improve your mood
Share this article

A leisurely walk around the office is as good as jogging in banishing the blues in middle aged desk bound workers, a study found.

Just getting out of the chair and doing some light exercise lifted a person's mood as good as vigorous exercise such as a jog or a brisk walk.

Those with sedentary lives saw a greater the greatest improvement in overall sense of well-being than gym bunnies pounding the treadmills.

University of Connecticut researchers found physical activity improved people's sense of well-being, but different intensities of physical activity were more beneficial to some people than others.

While light and moderate physical activity clearly made some people feel better about themselves, when it came to vigorous activity, the results were neutral.

There was no positive or negative association found between high intensity physical activity and subjective well-being.

Light physical activity as the equivalent of taking a leisurely walk with no noticeable increase in breathing, heart rate, or sweating.

Moderate intensity activity is equivalent to walking a 15-20-minute mile with an increase in breathing, heart rate, and sweating, yet still being able to carry on a conversation.

Vigorous activity is equivalent to a very brisk walk, or jogging a 13-minute mile with a very noticeable increase in breathing, heart rate, and sweating to the point of being unable to maintain a conversation.

The study looked at 419 generally healthy, middle-aged adults, who wore accelerometers on their hips to track physical activity over four days.

Participants also completed a series of questionnaires asking them to describe their daily exercise habits, psychological well-being and pain severity.

Lead author Gregory Panza, a graduate student in UConn's Department of Kinesiology, said: "The 'more is better' mindset may not be true when it comes to physical activity intensity and subjective well-being.

"In fact, an 'anything is better' attitude may be more appropriate if your goal is a higher level of subjective well-being.

"We hope this research helps people realize the important public health message that simply going from doing no physical activity to performing some physical activity can improve their subjective well-being.

"What is even more promising for the physically inactive person is that they do not need to exercise vigorously to see these improvements.

"Instead, our results indicate you will get the best 'bang for your buck' with light or moderate intensity physical activity."

Beth Taylor, associate professor of kinesiology, added: "Recent studies had suggested a slightly unsettling link between vigorous activity and subjective well-being.

"We did not find this in the current study, which is reassuring to individuals who enjoy vigorous activity and may be worried about negative effects.

"If it doesn't make us feel good, we don't want to do it.

"Establishing the link between different types, doses, and intensities of physical activity on well-being is a very important step in encouraging more people to exercise."

All of the individuals who participated in the UConn study had a generally positive sense of well-being going into the project and were generally physically active.

Whether the same results would hold true for people with lower subjective well-being or lower levels of physical activity is unknown, Panza added.

The study was published in the Journal of Health Psychology in February.

Probe reveals 57 families not given cremated babies' ashes

The council said there had been "historical inconsistencies"
The council said there had been "historical inconsistencies"
Share this article

Dozens of families were not given the ashes of infants that had been cremated, a report has found.

An investigation into Hull City Council's handling of baby cremations said 57 parents approached the authority after similar news broke elsewhere in the UK in 2014.

The council said there had been "historical inconsistencies" and a "lack of clarity of appropriate consent for the cremation to take place".

It also admitted to providing "incorrect or incomplete information" for parents when their babies died.

But it said in almost all cases a record had been found for bereaved parents who came forward and in all cremations, apart from one, ashes were produced.

They said the historic cases related specifically to instances whereby parents were told that a baby cremation could be arranged through the Children's Hospital but there would be no ashes as a result.

The council's deputy chief executive, Trish Dalby, said: "Bereavement is an extremely distressing time for any family to face and our thoughts are with those who have been affected by the loss of their child.

"We have endeavoured to ensure that all parents whom have come forward have been offered individual meetings, and a detailed and thorough examination of all available records, and anyone else whom has been affected by this issue should contact us so we can offer direct support and provide any detail we have on each individual loss.

"As we have done so far, we will provide any and all information that we have to the parents, irrespective of when the loss of a baby happened, and we will continue to respond to each and every inquiry.

"Our priority is to ensure that families do not have to go through similar experiences in the future following the death of a baby and we will continue to work with all parties to ensure the necessary changes are comprehensively implemented."

As a result the council said measures had been put in place, including a training programme for staff and the appointment of a bereavement midwife.
