Top 8 Disney Pro Tips For Walt Disney World’s Epcot

By Caitlin Corsello

Of the four theme parks in Walt Disney World, many guests love to spend the majority of their time exploring Epcot and all that is has to offer. The park combines two distinct halves to form a unified whole which is full of amazing attractions, dining, shopping, and entertainment. Guests who spend time in Future World and World Showcase in Epcot can travel the world, travel through time, dive into the seas, design their own cars, explore imagination, and fly over California. With so much to see and enjoy in the park, guests want to make the most of each moment in order to have the perfect day there. Disney pros have a series of tips which can help guests save time and frustration while in Epcot in order to make each moment count. Here are the top eight Disney pro tips for Walt Disney World’s Epcot.

For a no obligation, FREE Quote with new bookings contact our sponsor Magical Vacation Planner by calling: 1(407)442-0289 Or for a free no obligation quote with new bookings you can fill out the form by Clicking HERE!

8. Arrive for Rope Drop –

All Disney pros will tell guests that the best way to kick off each day spent in Disney Parks is to arrive for rope drop. Arriving for rope drop requires guests to get to the parks before they officially open and wait at the gates to be let in. Guests who arrive early at Epcot can enjoy a welcome speech which tells them all about the amazing adventures waiting inside. Once the gates are officially open, those guests who arrived early for rope drop are rewarded by being some of the first inside Epcot where they can enjoy few crowds and low wait times.

7. FastPass Soarin’ –

One of the most popular attractions in Epcot can be found on the lowest level of The Land Pavilion in Future World. Soarin’ invites guests on an epic hang gliding adventure over beautiful sights around the globe! Throughout the journey, guests can enjoy unique vantage points of the Matterhorn, the Great Wall of China, Iguazu Falls, and Epcot.. Since Soarin’ is extremely popular with guests, it can easily have hours long wait times on busy days in Epcot. Disney pros definitely recommend that guests who want to enjoy Soarin’ book a FastPass for the experience to save lots of time that otherwise would have been spent waiting in line.

6. Single Rider Test Track Presented by Chevrolet –

Another very popular attraction in Epcot can also be found in Future World. Test Track Presented by Chevrolet invites guests into the design studio where they have the opportunity to create their very own SIM cars and then test them out on the track in Capability, Power, Responsiveness, and Efficiency. Throughout the attraction, guests can enjoy a series of thrilling tests which culminate with a high speed joy loop around a massive portion of outdoor track. Since Test Track Presented by Chevrolet is very popular with guests, it can easily have very long wait times on busy days in Epcot. Disney pros who want to enjoy the experience without losing a lot of time spent waiting on line use the Single Rider line which generally has a much lower wait time for the same experience so long as guests don’t mind being split up at the loading platform.

5. Go Back for Spaceship Earth –

Perhaps the most recognized attraction in Epcot is Spaceship Earth which is found immediately inside the gates of the park. Spaceship Earth is housed in a massive geodesic sphere which is covered in thousands of futuristic silver triangles. The attraction brings guests on a journey from the beginning of time to modern day to celebrate the history of communication. Guests who visit Epcot simply can’t skip a ride on Spaceship Earth, but they should definitely not visit it first thing in the morning. While Spaceship Earth’s line tends to move quickly, many guests instinctually stop to enjoy the attraction when entering the park in the mornings. This creates a bit of a bottleneck and a longer line than the rest of the day. Guests are smart to skip Spaceship Earth first thing in the morning and instead return at a later point when the crowds have died down a little.

4. See The Underrated –

While Epcot is home to plenty of thrilling and popular attractions, there are also of experiences that are considered underrated as they are sometimes overlooked by guests. Disney pros know that the best way to enjoy all that Epcot has to offer is to stop and enjoy these underrated but entertaining attractions. Guests should be sure to stop by Journey into Imagination with Figment, Living with the Land, Ellen’s Energy Adventure, and The Seas with Nemo and Friends.

3. Visit the Attractions of World Showcase –

The entire rear of Epcot consists of World Showcase which features eleven different pavilions each highlighting a country from around the world. Guests can easily spend hours exploring the different countries and enjoying architecture, culture, dining, shopping and entertainment, but they sometimes overlook the wonderful attractions that are located there. Guests should stop and enjoy The Gran Fiesta Tour Starring the Three Caballeros in the Mexico Pavilion, Reflections of China in the China Pavilion, The American Adventure in the America Pavilion, Impressions de France in the France Pavilion, and O Canada! in the Canada Pavilion.

2. Eat a Meal in World Showcase –

In addition to exploring World Showcase, guests should definitely stop to enjoy a meal there. Each country is home to at least one quick service and one full service dining location which serves up traditional cuisine that guests are sure to love. Some of the most popular dining locations in World Showcase are Nine Dragons Restaurant in the China Pavilion, Monsieur Paul in the France Pavilion, and Le Cellier Steakhouse in the Canada Pavilion.

1. Line up Early for Illuminations: Reflections of Earth –

No day in Epcot would be complete without a viewing of Illuminations: Reflections of Earth. The show occurs nightly on World Showcase Lagoon and uses special effects, pyrotechnics, fireworks, laser lights, and beautiful music to bring guests together as one. Since the show is extremely popular, Disney pros know that it is important to find a spot at least an hour early to guarantee the perfect view of Illuminations: Reflections of Earth.

Apple’s Jobs, Stone’s Jagger get EU warning

European competition commissioner Neelie Kroes today told an audience of industry luminaries, including Apple’s Steve Jobs, Mick Jagger of the Rolling Stones and a quarry of music and technology chiefs they must do better.

Kroes warned the audience – bought together for a private meeting in Brussels today – that the EU may have to step in unless music and technology chiefs stop fighting and figure out a better way to distribute music in Europe.

“Consumers have complained that copyright rules prevent digital music downloads when the same songs can be bought on CD from an online retailer,” Bloomberg explains.

And unless the sundry chiefs meet the challenge of doing business in a unified common market (as the EU is), then European trade enforcers will step in and force them too, Kroes warned. A report drafted with the help of Jagger is due to be published in October. Continue reading

Dolphins WR DeVante Parker could possibly play against Colts

While Jakeem Grant is out for the season with a lower leg injury, the news appears to be much better for Dolphins wide receiver DeVante Parker.

Although Parker suffered a shoulder injury in the Dolphins last game against the Packers on Nov. 11, it appears he could play this weekend against the Colts, according to head coach Adam Gase.

“We’ll see how practice goes,” Gase said. “It’s one thing to go out there and be able to be dressed for a game ready to go, but to be able to be as effective as we need guys to be, that’s what it comes down to. Can he do what he needs to do?”

Parker had the bye week to get healthy, and it appears he has. With Grant and also Albert Wilson out for the rest of the 2018 season, the Dolphins really need Parker to play well and remain healthy if he can.

Throughout the 2018 season, Parker has missed five games with a variety of injuries. First, it was a broken finger that kept him out most of the preseason and the first two weeks of the season. Then Parker suffered a quadriceps injury that kept him out three games.

In five games, Parker has recorded 14 catches and 225 yards.

And while he'll turn 28-years old in July, that's still young enough for many to consider him a valuable piece of a potential winning-window for a Dolphins team that has spent the last 3 offseasons building a roster to be a legitimate contender.

Fun With Maps

A friend sent me a video how-to to build a 3d map the other day, and while I thought it was really cool I didn’t want to use the software in the video. I have some pretty good stuff already, I thought, and tried to find a way to do it with either GRASS or QGIS. GRASS was a bit of a bust: I really hate the interface they use for 3d, and couldn’t find much on how to drape one layer over another — it used to be easy!

QGIS wasn’t much better, but then I am a few versions behind. There is a plugin, however, which enabled me to make a 3D map website. So here’s mine:

Old School Bethlehem in 3D

I used the USGS topographic map from 1894, and “draped” it over the DEM I made for the Lehigh Valley cycle routing project (which DEM unfortunately has height in feet rather than meters, so the hill heights scale a bit big). The view in the picture is of Bethlehem and environs, with South Mountain and Lehigh Mountain on the left, and the Camel Hump, back when it was still Quaker Hill, in the upper right. Click the image and it’ll take you to the map website.

I noticed, when playing with that topo map, that for things like roads it doesn’t align everywhere with current maps. The map was provided with a CRS by USGS, but I suspect it was guesswork: there is no projection or datum information on the map itself. (The corners do line up exactly.) This may be because of surveying inaccuracies, back then or even for modern maps — I’m mostly using OpenStreetMap, after all — or it could be that the roads themselves were moved or straightened over the years, or they guessed wrong with the CSR. I thought it interesting then, that on the 3D map the hills and contour lines line up as well as they do: the surveyors knew where the hills were, at the very least.

Qatar Airways halts A350 deliveries

Qatar Airways said on Tuesday the surface below the paint on some of its Airbus A350s was deteriorating faster than expected and insisted it would not take more deliveries of the carbon-composite widebody jet until the problem was resolved.

The Gulf carrier has fallen out with the European planemaker, warning last week that Airbus faced “industrial repercussions” if it failed to resolve the dispute, while until now giving few details of the discussions.

“Qatar Airways continues to experience and has witnessed a condition in which the surface below the paint on some of its Airbus A350 aircraft has been degrading at an accelerated rate,” an airline spokesperson said in response to a Reuters query.

The airline has grounded some A350s “until the condition and root cause can be understood and corrected,” the spokesperson said, without disclosing how many aircraft were affected.

“Qatar Airways will require this condition and its underlying root cause to be fully understood and corrected before the delivery of any further Airbus A350 aircraft.” REUTERS

Top lane Olaf is currently surging in Korea—here’s why

It's doing better than jungle Olaf.

Image via Riot Games

Olaf as a jungler has been popping up more and more in the professional meta at the 2018 League of Legends World Championship, but he’s doing something a little strange in solo queue. He’s quickly becoming a go-to pick in the top lane, and he’s performing better there than in the jungle by a long shot.

The stats don’t lie. On League champion and player performance site, Olaf’s top lane winrate has skyrocketed to 52 percent in Korea, placing him as the fifth-best performing top lane champion. Typically, when a champion makes a surge like this in one of their off-roles, their playrate is rather low, indicating that only a few brave souls have chosen to one-trick the odd pick. This time, however, the playrate for top Olaf is a respectable one or two percent depending on the day, which is the same as his playrate in the jungle.

Olaf hasn’t been considered a top laner in a long time, and even when he was, he was still considered a better jungler. So what changed? Well, mostly, every champion except for Olaf changed, and therefore so did the meta. Irelia’s update skipped her right to the top, recent Darius buffs made him a solo queue favorite, and Urgot, of course, is still up there, too. Olaf’s secret is that he counters all of these champions, so when played in the right hands, he can stay afloat the solo queue meta despite not being considered a traditional top lane pick.

Against the likes of Urgot, Olaf can max his Q to give him better lane harass than almost any other melee champion in the lane. Not only that, but a Manaflow Band and Corrupting Potion can let him spam the axes to his heart’s content. Against Darius and Irelia, he can max out his Reckless Swing, walk up, dish out a heaping of True Damage, and throw axes at them to slow their advance when they try to engage. Olaf also performs quite well against Aatrox and Sion. He’s a very strange but very effective answer to high-damage, high-health champions in the top lane.

So if you’re getting sick of the current meta, hop on board with the South Korean solo queue meta and lock in Olaf. He may not be a man of many words, but one “Bromacia!” once in a while should be all you need.

The Versatility of Plant Roots

Plants grow different roots in water than they do in soil.

But don't worry; plants propagated in water easily adapt to soil growing conditions once potted up.

Just make sure to be extra careful when transplanting. Water roots are usually more fragile than soil roots.

The reverse works as well. The roots of soil-grown plants can be washed and placed into a DWC (deep water culture) system, an NFT (nutrient film technique) system, or an aeroponics system.

As long as proper water and oxygen levels are maintained, plant roots will do their thing under several different growing conditions.

Space for Finance Workshop: how space technology can support the digitalisation and greening of the financial sector

This one-day workshop organised by the ESA Downstream Gateway brought together stakeholders from the finance and space world discussing the potential of space in supporting the digitalisation and greening of the sector. It covered the transition of the financial sector related technologies and data sets as well as support programmes of ESA.

Topic overview: How Space technology can support the digitalisation and greening of the financial sector

The financial sector is undergoing a rapid transformation as digitalisation is impacting the very nature of traditional financial services and products. As a result, incumbent firms and existing business models are increasingly challenged by new market entrants which are leveraging innovative technologies: real-time data, blockchain and artificial intelligence are paving the way for a new era of how money is being handled on a daily basis and investments being carried out.

At the same time, societies aim at balancing the negative impact of the pandemic and climate-change, directing financial resources into sustainable investments with limited negative external effects or even positive social and environmental outcomes. Green bonds are on the rise as well as the financing of renewable resources and nature-based solutions. The ESG financial ecosystem is evolving together with new methodologies, KPIs and data needs driven by risk management strategies for climate adaption and mitigation. Increasing climate hazards can be a threat for assets as well as financial stability and need to be understood and incorporated in business and portfolio

For more information on the topic, you can read the related article “How space supports the financial sector to foster the transition towards a green and sustainable future“.

Introduction and Panel 1: Policy and Regulation Perspectives

Josef Aschbacher, Director General of ESA, and Donatella Ponziani, Downstream Gateway Officer at ESA opened this workshop illustrating the opportunities that the space sector can offer to the financial ecosystem. The DG presented ESA’s recently published Agenda 2025 where he focussed on the commercialisation of space and the importance of the Downstream Gateway enabling new engagements between the downstream programmes of ESA and emerging business sectors.

The first panel discussed the climate-related risks (physical or transition) and the new policies adopted to support a green, resilient and inclusive development. The role of Earth Observation data was highlighted and how it can inform decision making processes. The concept of “Sustainable Finance” was introduced, with its increasing need of environmental, social and governance (ESG) data.

This panel was moderated by Donatella Ponziani, Downstream Gateway Officer at ESA.

Panel 2: Industry and Academia

The second panel highlighted how better measurements and disclosures are critical to challenge climate impacts. There is a strong need for climate information architecture built on high quality, reliable and comparable data, harmonised standards and a global taxonomy. Companies must take into serious consideration their behaviour, as ESG incidents can heavily impact a company in terms of compliance, finance and reputation. Several use cases were illustrated on how space technology can help the financial sector in the credit, payment and insurance processes. The definition of “Spatial Finance” was also presented, as the integration of geospatial data and analysis into financial theory and practice, and how it can change the way climate and environmental risks, opportunities and impacts are measured and managed by financial institutions.

The panel was moderated by Nick Appleyard, Head of Business Applications and Space Solutions (BASS) Department at ESA.

Panel 3: ESA’s involvements

In the third panel ESA representatives shared past and current projects aimed at showcasing the potential of space and its value to the finance sector. It was discussed how “Green Fintech”, the intersection between sustainable finance and innovation in financial technology, aims at moving resources towards environmentally sustainable projects and develop innovative instruments. Furthermore, it was discussed how space technology, in particular Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS), are crucial for the financial sector as it provides accurate measurements of time and synchronisation.

This panel was moderated by Giorgio Solari, Head of NAVISP Element 1 Innovation Office at ESA.

The new Volkswagen Golf 8 is here!

The wait is over

The Golf is the most successful European car for more than four decades.

Today, Volkswagen unveils the eight generation of the iconic compact model. With a digital interior, two hybrid versions right from the start and new diesel engines, the Golf want to make an impression.

With the new Golf, Volkswagen has started a hybrid offensive. As the first model of the brand, the eighth Golf will be available in no less than five hybrid drive versions. Its debut also celebrates 48V technology: a belt starter generator, 48V lithium-ion battery and the latest generation of efficient TSI engines form a new mild hybrid drive in the eTSI. Volkswagen will offer the Golf in three eTSI output stages: 81 kW / 110 hp, 96 kW / 130 hp and 110 kW / 150 hp.

The eighth generation of the best-seller will also be available as two plug-in hybrid drive variants. A new efficiency version generates 150 kW / 204 hp while the very sporty GTE delivers 180 kW / 245 hp. Both Golf versions with plug-in hybrid drives will launch with a new 13 kWh lithium-ion battery on board that enables larger electrically powered ranges of approximately 60 kilometres and temporarily turns the Golf into a zero-emissions vehicle.

The drive options for the new Golf also include a petrol (TSI), diesel (TDI) and natural gas drive (TGI), two four-cylinder petrol engines with 66 kW / 90 hp and 81 kW / 110 hp, two four-cylinder diesel engines with 85 kW / 115 hp and 110 kW / 150 hp, and a TGI with 96 kW / 130 hp.

An innovation in the TDI powertrains: Volkswagen uses twin-dosing technology (two SCR catalytic converters) to significantly reduce nitrogen oxide emissions (NOx) by up to 80%; in addition, TDI consumption is lowered by up to 17% compared with its predecessor.

The new Golf is always connected to the internet. Also, the new Golf is also the first Volkswagen to connect with its environment as standard, via Car2X: signals from the traffic infrastructure and information from other vehicles up to 800 metres away are notified to the driver via a display. The Golf also shares these warnings with other Car2X models. Swarm intelligence is becoming a reality, representing the beginning of a new phase of traffic safety.

The interior relies on digital screens. The basis for this are standard digital instruments (Digital Cockpit) with a 10.25-inch display, an Infotainment system (8.25-inch touchscreen featuring online connection) and a multifunction steering wheel. The driver’s digital workplace can be further enhanced by two optional 10-inch Infotainment systems. In conjunction with the large Discover Pro navigation system, this creates the Innovision Cockpit. A windscreen head-up display is also available. The head-up display is directly projected onto the windscreen and thus virtually floats in front of the driver.

There's also switchgear borrowed from the ID.3 and new VW logo on the steering wheel.

BMW 630d GT xDrive review - awkwardness averted

The 6 GT makes the old 5 GT look even sillier all while retaining its qualities

Overall Score
87 / 100

BMW knows the 5-Series GT replaced by the new 6-Series GT was a bit of a dog to look at and overall was not really very appealing, which is why its replacement is so much better.

Testing the 630d GT with all-wheel drive, I found a lot to like about it, although I had to channel a slightly more mature and restrained buyer than myself in order to fully understand what it’s about.

Main points about the 6 GT are its much-improved styling (and aero coefficient, now 0.25Cd versus 0.29Cd) that would almost fool you it’s not any higher off the ground compared to regular models (even though it is), the gorgeous and spacious cabin and the outstanding ride comfort provided by the self-leveling suspension.

I can’t say whether a model with regular springs is much worse off in the ride quality department, but our tester felt as good as any flagship luxury sedan, including BMW’s own, the 7-Series.

The only area where it wasn’t really top notch was in the handling department. Sure, it has super-precise variable steering that makes any maneuver a doddle, but going into corners quickly you feel it want to push wide - its main at-the-limit handling characteristic is understeer, and if you keep it in comfort mode it will roll. A lot.

It’s definitely not a boy racer’s BMW, offering luxo barge levels of comfort with the practicality of an estate - oh, I forgot to mention, the boot is just massive and actually one of the car’s best and best-implemented features.
  • Recommended for:

    urban driving
  • Hats off for:
    passenger space
    luggage space
    engine power
  • Bang for the buck:

Under our tester’s bonnet we had BMW’s latest incarnation of the 30d powertrain which now puts out 265 PS and 620 Nm. Power is sent to all four wheels via xDrive all-wheel drive and an eight-speed gearbox by ZF.

At nearly 2 tons, the 630d GT is a heavy car, yet its strong engine made it feel like a hot hatch in terms of outright shove. And this is reflected in the car’s benchmark sprint time which is about the same as most modern hot hatches - six seconds dead for xDrive equipped models.

The massive torque number results in brutal launches that may cause mild whiplash if you’re not expecting it. It also means the car feels endlessly powerful at any speed or engine speed, and between the torque and the gearbox you’re never left wanting more go.

Don’t buy a 6 GT thinking it’s going to handle as well as a 5-Series or be stiff and ready to be taken to the track. It’s actually the exact opposite of the kind of car you’d want to take to the track, although it’s not ungainly especially since it’s over 100 kg lighter than the car it replaces.

Throw the GT into a corner and this will immediately become apparent to you partly through its body roll and partly through its propensity to wash wide. Yes, there is a lot of grip, but once it’s lost the car’s rear stays put while the front tires struggle for traction.

Don’t get me wrong: it is safe, rewarding and fun to drive the 6 GT quickly, but you need to do so within grip limits as it’s not that kind of wayward car. This behavior may have been present as a direct result of the xDrive all-wheel drive system, but it comes in handy on corner exit where it makes the car feel like it’s clawing its way out.

10 / 10

The 6 GT has yet to be crash tested, but it comes jam-packed with safety kit. A full suite of airbags, standard AEB, it also gets adaptive cruise control that maintains distance to the car in front from 0 to 210 km/h (130 mph), it also gets lane assist, blind spot warning and our tester even had the remote parking feature ticked in on the options list.

10 / 10
Open Gallery

Let’s just put it this way: I felt no difference between seat comfort and ride quality in the 6 GT versus the 7-Series flagship. On the move it’s just as serene to travel in, seating quality is top notch and also space in the back is on par with the luxo sedan.

Relaxing is the word best used to describe the experience. Sure, you can stab the throttle at any time to unleash the 620 Nm surge, but the car won’t really edge you to do that, but rather the contrary - just waft around effortlessly while being completely cosseted.

9 / 10
Open Gallery

The 6 GT’s interior shows the latest incarnation of BMW interiors and I tried to pick faults with it during my days with the car, but really couldn’t find any. Materials are top notch, the build is rock solid no matter which part you tug at and it gives you the exact feeling you’d expect to be feeling traveling in a $100,000+ luxo wafter.

It’s one of BMW’s best ever interiors in all respects, and it’s a pleasure to travel in whichever seat you may find yourself in.

10 / 10
Open Gallery

Here’s another area where the 6 GT excels. Firstly, there is space for five passengers in this car and all of their bags; and it isn’t an estate, but from a practicality standpoint that is essentially what it proposes: estate-like space and practicality in a stretched-wheelbase fastback package.

Its trunk capacity of 610 liters puts it in the estate-like load lugging category, and its rear seats can e folded flat into the floor, plus there’s no load lip at the back. In fact, that’s 40 liters more than the current 5-Series estate.

It also has plenty of storage dotted around the cabin and the rear door bins are currently the biggest I’ve ever seen on a car. Ever. You can fit a big 2-liter bottle in each and still have room for your phone, wallet and other similarly-sized objects.

10 / 10
Open Gallery

BMW currently leads the pack when it comes to infotainment and the iDrive version fitted to the latest 6 GT confirms that. The system is slick, has fewer and more logically structured menus than before and should you get tired of operating it using the wheel and shortcut buttons on the transmission tunnel, you can also just prod the screen.

8 / 10
Open Gallery

The 6 GT is a big car with a fairly big six-cylinder engine, so it won’t be the most efficient thing out there. However, since it’s a diesel hooked up to a gearbox that can maximize its performance and efficiency you should realistically expect a 630d with xDrive to return 10-ish l/100km on the combined cycle, with the figure obviously falling if you do more motorway miles, getting closer to BMW’s claimed 5.7 l/100km on the combined cycle.

To put it into perspective, a 5-Series sedan with the same engine and xDrive returns 5.0 l/100km, while the estate averages 5.3 l/100km with the same configuration.

7 / 10
Open Gallery

Our tester’s base price of €70,507 (VAT included) doesn’t really give you all that much in the way of posh kit, although it is generously equipped - it couldn’t be called lavish unless you made an incursion into the glorious land of BMW optional extras.

The 630d xDrive GT we tried cost €102,970 and if you’re wondering what the over €30,000 difference was spent on, allow me to list the main money hogs.

Most expensive was the M Sport pack, at €5,884, followed by the self-leveling suspension at nearly €4,000, as well as the First Class pack which will set you back another €5,013 and give you amenities like keyless entry, soft-closing doors, four heated seats (and also cooled for front occupants who also get a massage function).

More was spent on the Innovation package which adds the smart key with touchscreen, HUD and gesture controls - the pack costs €2,196.

That still doesn’t add up to the grand total, but the car had far too many options to be sensible to list all of them here. And they’re all kind of expensive and dramatically drive up the car’s price, so points will be detracted as always for that.

8 / 10

While the 6 GT is overall a great car, it still suffers from the same problem as the 5 GT it replaces: who is it for? who would find it appealing and why wouldn’t they just get an SUV or an actual estate (although the latter offers less space than the 6 GT in the boot).

Well, if you’re looking at the car from a European’s standpoint, you’re still struggling to understand where it’s meant to be positioned. However, if you view it through a Chinese businessperson’s eyes, it makes much more sense.

It is a big, comfy car with an already extended wheelbase and oodles of space in the back. These traits are highly sought after in China, and even though the 6 GT is sold all around the world, it will be the PRC where it is expected to prove most popular.

As a car it’s really convincing (if you like the look of it that is, and chances are you will, at least much more so than its predecessor), and it really is a viable alternative to buying either an estate or a high-rider whose extra ground clearance you don’t really need.

The new 6 GT is slightly higher off the ground than BMW’s regular range, but lower than its SUVs, yet it looks more like a regular fastback than a high-riding SUV.

It still has a bit of an identity crisis, but the car itself has a lot to like and it just needs to find the right buyer who knows exactly what he or she is looking for. People who are going to buy this car once they understand what it is or does are going to only want this as it’s a true niche proposition and in that respect it’s kind of cool.

Then there will be rarity: not many will be bought in Europe and the US so it’s going to be a bit of a unicorn, especially in the future when it will be eventually taken out of production.

It’s definitely a recommendable car that will wow you with its luxury, comfort and space and to my mind the nearly €10,000 premium you’re asked to pay over a 5-Series will be worth it for a select few buyers. Those buyer will be very-very happy with the 6 GT.

Motor Mouth: Is the world ready for an Apple iCar?

Rumours are mounting that Apple is gearing up to mount a challenge against Tesla. But would an Apple car be revolutionary? Not necessarily

Talk about a Dallas-style season-ending cliff-hanger: No leaked tidbits implying impending drama, no rumours that some game-changing denouement was afoot, just two quick .38s to JR’s chest and then a quick fade to black as the world held with bated breath for any sort of revelation as to what the heck just happened.

Friday, the Wall Street Journal shocked the world — at least the automotive part of it — with the headline “Apple Gears Up to Challenge Tesla in Electric Cars“, the newspaper reporting the world’s most valuable corporation was developing an automobile — code-named “Titan” — that would marry minivan-like utility with an emissions-free electric powertrain. The authors — Daisuke Wakabayashi and Mike Ramsey — detailed Apple’s hiring of former automotive executives and designers, speculated on the out-sourcing of production to Magna’s Magna Steyr (who manufactured the X3 and Mini Clubman for BMW) and even quoted the Financial Times as noting that dozens of Apple employees have been researching automotive products and patents. Then, WSJ went radio silent, leaving the rest of the automotive blogosphere in a complete tizzy speculating on whether this was a self-driving play — no, says the Journal — or what Apple might name its little electric minivan — iCar, natch.

Is this just a development of CarPlay?

Of course, even as dramatically as the Journal built the case for Apple actually building a car (citing all manner of diaphanous quotes; “There are products that we’re working on that no one knows about,” said CEO Tim Cook last September), it cautioned that this could all be some further development of the company’s CarPlay in-car infotainment system revealed last March and slated to see use in everything from Ferraris to Honda. But, where’s the fun in speculating, wide-eyed, about mere user interface? Besides, why would Apple need 46 employees with Tesla experience (according to their LinkedIn profiles) if they were just working on a friggin’ computer screen?

Ted Cardenas, a marketing vice president with Pioneer Electronics, demonstrates the new Apple CarPlay powered by Pioneer, in San Francisco. Utilizing large, in-dash Pioneer LCD displays, CarPlay, featuring Siri voice control, gives iPhone users the features while allowing them to stay focused on the road.

Apple to buy Tesla?

It certainly makes for juicy reportage. One gets to muse, for instance, how Apple, the world’s most valuable corporation, can easily afford to develop its own automobile. Sure, the billion or two it takes to develop a new car from scratch (not to mention the hundreds of millions to set up a manufacturing facility) would daunt most businesses, but with a market cap of $737 billion (all figures in USD) and a staggering $178 billion cash in its corporate coffers, Cupertino could develop an entire range of Tesla clones with just petty cash. Indeed, one analyst, Jason Calacanis, goes one step further, predicting that Apple will eschew the entire R & D investment and just buy Tesla lock-stock-and-barrel for $75 billion by 2018.

Is this just Google envy?

So, assuming that Apple really is developing something with four wheels and a motor, what would an iCar look like? Indeed, what would the Silicon Valley giant’s business model be? Is it just trying to copy Google, prototyping futuristic automobiles for “personal mobility” rather than individual ownership? Or are its ambitions even more grandiose and it’s looking to build its EVs for the luxury segment — hence those Tesla defectors — the only bright spot in an otherwise failed electric vehicle market?

The buzz around driverless vehicles — such as Google’s Self-Driving Car — offered more evidence of a rapidly changing auto industry.

What would an Apple car look like?

More importantly, which Apple would show up to the game? Would it be the inventor of cutting edge technology like the iMac, iPhone and iPad? Or would it be the aggregator of recent times, a mere shadow of its once innovative self, content to increase the screen size of its iPhones and call them a revolution in communication? Will this be the Apple of iTunes or the screw-up that released Maps before its time? It’s been a long time since Cupertino has been the leading light of high tech, with recent advancements more about marketing than technology.

And, if that lethargy simply translated into yet another self-driving EV — the Journal claims that Apple is not working on self-driving autonomy but this is almost certainly the least believable part of its reporting — methinks the reaction, from both consumer and market, would be a barely stifled yawn. Being the world’s most successful tech company may indeed bring with it all manner of resources, but so too are the expectations; an iPhone 6s-like upgrade just won’t do if Apple wants to prove it can revolutionize the auto industry as it has mobile devices.

The ghost of Steve Jobs?

But, if Apple can indeed channel the ghost of Steve Jobs, maybe there is a revolution in the making. Battery technology, so important to mobile communications, might see Apple leapfrog to the forefront of the automobile industry. Could Cupertino have some inside track into the much-hyped Lithium-air storage cell? An even bigger home-run might be some form of low-cost inductive battery charging infrastructure, with future EVs able to recharge literally as they’re being driven. And if CEO Tim Cook was particularly prescient and came to the conclusion that environmental perfection was some form of hydrogen/electric hybrid — both emission-less, the former solving the EVs range issue with the latter offering cheap inner-city commuting — then perhaps there really is something to Silicon Valley’s takeover of the automotive industry. One thing is certain, though; Apple is the master of innovative packaging and whether a future iCar is a minivan or not, Cupertino’s industrial designers would almost certainly shake up the stylistic status quo.

So let’s also hope the company comes up with something more determined than a few colourful icons and a new “killer” app. As badly as in-car infotainment systems need the Apple touch, what the world really needs is the automotive equivalent of an Apple II.

Exciting jump from film to Subaru

Subie-dooby-do: Senior communicator with background in TV now singing praises of Japanese automaker

Jennifer McGarvey had dreams of working in the film industry, so she packed up her things from her hometown in Minnesota and went to university at Purdue in this Indiana city.

“I went to school to study interdisciplinary film studies since I wanted to be a film major, and be a film director,” she explains.

After she finished her degree, “I got into doing a lot of local commercials and script writing, copywriting and things like that … I worked for a lot of news stations, as well.”

Through wearing those various hats, she landed a role in PR and marketing, something she really enjoyed and decided to pursue.

Jennifer McGarvey is the Assistant Manager of Communications and External Relations for SIA in Lafayette, Indiana.

A friend of Jennifer’s was working at SIA (Subaru of Indiana Automotive) and mentioned to her that they had a job opening that might be a great fit for her.
She applied and got the position.

“I really didn’t have that much background in automotive, but for me it was a matter of challenging myself and doing something new and something that was out of my comfort zone; doing the same kind of work, just in a new industry.

“I came on board, and learned so much so quickly, and absolutely love the company and love this work.”

Transitioning over from television to automotive had a pretty steep learning curve. And while the product was new to her, the first things she learned at SIA weren’t about the cars themselves, but about the company — about Subaru’s commitment to environmental stewardship, its safety records and more.

Subaru of Indiana Automotive builds the new Legacy sedan at their facility

Another little intimidation factor was the size of SIA.

“Working for a company that has 3,800 associates and how to communicate to the unique demographics took time … Because we have so many people here from all different generations, it’s about learning how to communicate to someone who is nearing retirement — all the baby boomers — and then all those who are starting out, too … It’s a challenge, but a fun one to learn.”

As the assistant manager of communications and external relations for SIA she often has long days, but the atmosphere, she says, is incredibly positive.

“For my role, doing marketing and PR and communications, it’s such an ‘easy’ job,” she remarks enthusiastically.

“Subaru is a great company to work for because people love the product. And for being 3,800 associates, it’s really considered a small family.”

Those two aspects would certainly be a bonus, and something that would make any automotive job easy.

Jennifer McGarvey, mother of two, has worked at SIA for the last 6 years in their communications and external affairs department.

Great product and great people, you can’t really complain.

She tells me that every time she mentions the Japanese carmaker, or people see her vehicle — she drives an Outback — individuals regale her with stories of their Subies, and how they know people who work at the plant, etc. The brand plays a huge role in the community, as well as in the state and internationally.

And the brand brings smiles to people’s faces.

Speaking of driving a vehicle that was built in her workplace, she explains that both customers from the area and associates can track the production of their specific car; as long as it’s a Legacy or an Outback since those are currently the models being built at SIA.

Part of what Jennifer McGarvey loves about her job is the product. She’s a proud owner of an Outback, built right at SIA.

“For me, it’s just a pleasure working here,” says the mother of two.

“In Indiana, Lafayette in particular, we do so much community outreach, and that’s a lot of what I work with in my position.”

Despite her six-year tenure at SIA, she’s considered a newbie.

“We have a lot of people who are celebrating 25 years of production, and we have a lot of people who have been here since Day 1; the people who saw the first car come off the production line,” she says.

Subaru of Indiana Automotive opened its doors in 1989.

As the company grows and expands, Jennifer McGarvey is loving being a part of it.

I'm trying to get the content of an article and display it using AJAX by replacing the content of a div with the new article's content. In order to do this I want to make an asynchronous jQuery call to a PHP page that simply outputs the article's body. However, this PHP function needs access to the Drupal PHP functions in order to operate properly. Where or how can I create a PHP file that will have access to these functions in a Drupal install?

  • 1
    To which Drupal version are you referring? Things changed a little, in Drupal 7. – kiamlaluno Mar 1 '12 at 21:50

To get data from Drupal's database and/or produced in PHP, you need a page callback (in a custom module) that output the data without the full layout rendering. This is easily doable by printing the content of the page directly in your page callback instead of returning it.

If you want to retrieve nodes in AJAX, you can also use the Services module which provides JavaScript callable endpoints (REST, JSON over HTTP) for nodes, users, taxonomy terms, etc.

If you still want to work outside Drupal, in a standalone script, you should include Drupal's include/bootstrap.inc and call drupal_bootstrap() function to initialize Drupal environment (connect to database, load modules, session, etc.). You can select the phase to bootstrap depending on what you need from Drupal.

// Drupal is fully loaded here, you can access everything.

If you want to get another drupal article's body text, you need not write custom php code in file.

You could do that using views may be in the following way:

  1. Create a drupal views to show get articles body text as output (which can take nodeid as parameter)
  2. Use View Data source module http://drupal.org/project/views_datasource to output the view result in JSON format.

Now you can call this view(using view page URL) with required parameter to get article body in JSON format. That can be used by your javascript to place the content inside div.

Linda Vang

09_Linda Vang Art

Artist Name: Linda Vang

What do you consider yourself? Artist, illustrator, painter, designer, other?

I feel like I fall under artist and illustrator for what I mostly do.  I like to explore different mediums but when it comes down to putting myself somewhere, it would have to be those two groups.

What kinds of work do you currently do or what kinds of projects have you done in the past?

Currently, I do a lot of digital artworks.  Most of them are personal projects that I just have fun with.  For example, I had done a short film and I had turned some of them into craftworks. In the past, I had work with more traditional mediums such as oil painting and charcoal etc.  Most of my traditional work gave me a chance to had art shows at school galleries.

Could you talk about how you got into art or doing what you do today? What’s your story? What made you want to pursue this path? Were there any challenges you had along the way?

I can’t recall a specific time but I know that art has been with me as long as I can remember.  To give a brief overview, there was an era, when I would watch Bob Ross paint.  I remember telling myself, “One day, I’m going to do that!”  Though the outcome is a little different, that childhood goal is off the bucket list.  Then after Bob Ross, my cousin introduces me to the world of anime and that took my work into a whole different path.

I decided to pursue art because it makes me feel very free, and I love how it creates different worlds among each individual.  Another reason is the simple fact that I know it was one thing I was good at.  Not saying I am the best artist, but from all the skills I have, art is one of my highest levels.  A little silly but these are some of the major reasons.

As for challenges, there are plenty from the start and even now.  It’s different for everyone, and I can go on about it.  But for short, I had some people tell me that art is not good for me.  These little things do makes one falter sometime. I knew this path was not a smooth one to begin with; however, I also knew I would regret it for the rest of my life if I didn’t do it, and that keeps me going.

Did you attended art school or majored/minored in Art or Design in college? If so, what were your experiences with it and did you think it helped you become a better artist? If you did not attended college or attended but did not majored in anything art-related, what helped pushed you to pursue art or improve your craft?

I earned my BA in art studio from California State University of Sacramento.  Art in college definitely gave me a lot of opportunity to explore and discipline myself as an artist.  The exploring aspect is what makes it worth it for me.  My digital artwork is pretty much self-taught and art school does help contributes to that.  For example, it is through my oil painting in college that really helped me with my use of colors.  So yes, in many ways art school does help me to continue to learn about my art making process.

How do you balance art with work and life? How do you make time for art?

I don’t remember where I heard these from, but “Sometime you just have to make art for art sake,” and “If it’s something you love, you’ll always find time to do what you love.”

Do you make money from your art? If so, how?

I do make money here and there with my work. I do freelance works for many family members.  I do hope to do more commissions when I have all the right materials.  Last year I did my very first vendor’s table, and that was a pleasant experience.  I hope to do more in the future.

Where do you get your ideas from?

I mostly get my ideas from stories and songs. When there is a story that captures my interest, I would create a character from that story or a character that relates to that story.  When it comes to music, the melodies and lyrics sometime help inspires ideas for an art piece.  Then there are some ideas that are very random.  For instance, I watched a turtle documentary and there was a scene of a jellyfish encounter, and I was inspired by the jellyfish.  The rest of my ideas are pretty much just daydreaming.

What kinds of tools do you use to make your work or what is your typical artistic process like?

Most of the works I post online are my digital pieces.  As I mention before, I am a self taught digital artist and I learn through other tutorials online.  What I like to mostly do for my digital work is start out with a sketch.  From there, I would work on the line work of the piece. Then the coloring session starts, and finally I will work on the background and surroundings.  My process is simple but can take days or even weeks to finish. The good thing about digital though, is that you can do easy fix and not waste too much materials.

Are there any artists you look up to or find inspiring?

If I have to, Vincent Van Gogh, Bob Ross, and Yoshitaka Amano are just a few artists I can think of right now.  There are so many inspiring artists so it is hard to just pick a few.

Do you have any favorite books, apps, movies, resources, or art tools that you recommend?

“The Little Prince” by Antoine De Saint-Exupéry, is not one of my favorite book but to me it holds a masterpiece lesson making it worth reading.  As for movie, there are so many but “Spirited Away” from Studio Ghibli is one of my all time favorite.  As for art tools, use anything you can, that is the fun part of art.

Is there any advice you would like to give to young artists or people just starting out?

Don’t stop learning and don’t stop creating.

Who would you like to collaborate/work with or work for, if anybody? Could be a person, another artist, or company.

This is one is hard.  I really can’t decide.

What is your ultimate dream project or something you’ll like to accomplish in your lifetime (could be art or non-art related)?

My small dream is to inspire others with my work. My big dream is still pending right now.

Are there any current projects that you’re working on or in the near future that you want to tell us about?

You can all meet me at the Hmong Midsummer Night Market in Sacramento CA on July 20, 2019.  I will be selling some of my artworks there.  For more information please go to my Instagram and Facebook page.

What is the best way to get a hold of you or view or purchase your work?

If you find yourself in a predicament where you are facing DUI related charges then you most certainly ought to be worried. Driving under the influence is a crime punishable by law and the legal repercussions for offenders are severe indeed.

It can include hefty fines, prison sentences, probation, ignition interlock devices on all vehicles, ankle bracelets, community service, etc. The consequences can get worse in cases of repeat offenders or offenders who cause accidents whilst driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs which results in great bodily harm or even death say Madison, WI DUI lawyers.

There are ways in which you can beat your DUI charge by putting up viable defenses. However, you will need to work with a legal representative and come up with a fool proof defense strategy that will disintegrate and disprove all of the evidence against you effectively, which would lead to the charges against you being dismissed. However, you ought to remember that if the evidence against you is insurmountable, you have no way to defend yourself out of inevitable conviction.

Let us look at what your options are when charged with a DUI. Leading Wisconsin DUI attorneys explain that you can plead guilty, plead not guilty or plead with no contest.

Pleading with no contest

Pleading with no contest basically means that you are not going to defend yourself against the allegations of the prosecution. However, you do not say that you are guilty explicitly. This is often adopted by lawyers for clients who are unable to beat the evidence against them but also have a civil case pending in connection with the same incident.

This way, the civil lawsuit cannot use the plea as proof of guilt and so the defendant in the civil lawsuit can still remain innocent until proven guilty.

Pleading guilty

In some cases, a legal pro would prefer that his or her client plead guilty. This is when there is enough concrete evidence in favor of the prosecution. It could be things like the blood alcohol limit being over two or three folds the maximum limit of .08%, or any self-incriminating statements made by the defendant, and so on. In such cases, the defendant is better of pleading guilty, in the opinion of Madison, WI DUI lawyers.

Now if you want to see someone super drunk just go watch Det. James ‘Jimmy’ McNulty (Dominic West) in the cutting edge show The Wire which took place in Baltimore. McNulty was a fantastic police officer but he was also a drunk and not a team player. In one episode, he was so drunk he could not execute a proper turn in his car when turning left onto another street and he brushed his car against the cement pillar that was holding up a freeway.

No one was around so he was not ticketed for this and his name did not spread through the department that he was driving drunk. Now he was not a team player because he did things that jeopardized his superior’s reputation, even superiors that actually helped him out but this is another story.

Don’t be a McNulty! Don’t be a drunk!

In fact, your legal team may even be able to strike a plea bargain with the prosecutors where they agree to convict you of a lesser crime such as a wet reckless instead of a DUI in exchange for you pleading guilty.

A wet reckless or a lesser charge comes with fewer and much more lenient consequences as compared to a DUI conviction.

If you have been arrested or charged with a DUI, make sure to seek help as early as possible. Talk to an experienced and aggressive DUI lawyer in Wisconsin today to find out the best way to handle your case.
