Updated: Jul 8

Hey there, looking for some sweet ass motivation? Well, you’re in luck, because I got the most awesome, most unoriginal motivational content you’ve seen a hundred times before. And what do you know? It happens to be exactly what you’re in the market for. So here is the ultimate 3-step program for shaping yourself into a winner you always knew you could be (despite never actually doing anything to become one). Okay, a few paragraphs are enough for an obligatory intro, right? Of course it is, nobody reads this shit anyway. Let’s just dive straight into it so you can get yourself hyped up for about 20 minutes, then go back to procrastinating and reading generic self-help advice which tells you exactly what you want to hear. Ready? All right, let’s go

Do you sometimes feel bad? Are people mean to you? Are you scared of taking chances and doing what truly makes you happy, so you often conform to other people’s opinions just to fit in? Aw shucks, that sounds sad. Don’t be sad. Be happy instead. Happiness is what everyone should achieve in life, while avoiding stressful situations, uncomfortable emotions, and challenging obstacles. Despite what people who actually study the human mind and behavior say, these are not things that strengthen your mindset, develop quality habits, shape your personality, and make you a stronger individual. Some call these people scientists, some call them experts, but their real title is haters. Always be happy, because having any other emotion is unnatural. Important note:

Criticism is something very, very bad. It’s not something you can learn from to improve yourself. It’s not significant if 90% of people hate what you’re doing. It’s not important if you could do things differently and achieve a better effect. Why? Because you’re awesome. Everybody is awesome. If you’re alive, you’re awesome. You don’t become an awesome person by doing good deeds, advancing your skills and knowledge, putting in hard work, and developing yourself into a smart, capable, and interesting individual. Heck no! If people hate talking to you and avoid social contact, don’t think something might be wrong with you. Maybe you talk too much? Maybe you’re too judgmental? Maybe you don’t have anything important to say? Forget these things. Remember, you’re awesome just for being you. You don’t have any bad traits. There are no flaws in your behavior. There is no room for improvement. You’re perfect just the way you are. YOU’RE GONNA BE SUCCESSFUL

You have an idea for a project? Thinking of writing a book? Starting a business? YouTube channel? Blog? Go for it. I’m sure it’s a unique, never-been-done-before idea. And if you think it might suck, don’t. Your every idea is amazing because, as we’ve learned, you’re awesome and criticism is bad. If you could actually learn something from criticism, it would mean that it is not necessarily bad. And that’s just crazy. Haha, suck it haters! Statistics say that 9/10 startups fail and that almost half of them fail because there was no market need for their product or service. In other words, nobody was interested in their shit in the first place. But those brave souls refused to listen to haters and kept going. The final outcome is not relevant. Let’s pull up some statistics of our own. Spoiler alert – they are going to blow your mind:

  • Walt Disney was fired because his boss felt he “lacked imagination and had no good ideas”

  • Oprah Winfrey was publicly fired from her first television job for getting “too emotionally invested in her stories”

  • Steven Spielberg was rejected by the School of Cinematic Arts multiple times

  • Thomas Edison’s teachers told him he was “too stupid to learn anything”

  • Jay-Z couldn’t get any record label to sign him

All these people later went on to become extremely successful and well-known in their respective fields. They didn’t listen to what others told them and they didn’t let the haters discourage them. They kept pushing until they achieved their dreams. This, of course, doesn’t mean that they failed many, many, many times before succeeding. It doesn’t mean that they had hundreds of shit ideas before finding one that was actually good. It also doesn’t mean they are exceptionable people who spent endless hours, months, and years perfecting their craft, thinking of new ideas, learning and evolving from criticism (although we prefer the term hatorade) and making sacrifices for a better future. The only thing that we can learn from these fun facts is that they were just normal, ordinary people – like you. If they could do it, why couldn’t you? If you want it hard enough, you’ll definitely be successful one day (regardless of how much work you actually put in). Why? Because you’re awesome. EASY SOLUTION Now that we’ve gotten your blood pumping, thinking about the badass you’re going to become, making it rain in the clubs, living in a mansion, doing what you love, hanging out with celebrities, having a stable (?) personality and a winner’s mentality, let’s talk about how to actually get there. The first step is kind of obvious – read articles like this every day. Otherwise, you won’t have the mental strength to achieve what you want. I mean, all those successful people’s vision and dedication are surely not enough to motivate them. Simply wanting it is not enough, you need people like us to tell you that you want it. So here is a general outline of our life plan:

Now, people who are actually successful put in thousands of hours working and learning and failing and improving and failing and perfecting and failing and hustling. That’s all good for them, but let’s be honest – do you want us to tell you how to actually achieve something? That it takes years, hard work, sacrifice, and adapting new and foreign ideas? Fuck no. We all know you’re not looking for actual change. That shit’s hard. You want the easy solutions, the quick methods, the “5 Steps to Gaining Respect” and “3 Ways to Become a Winner”, the “How to Get the Best Boyfriend” and “6 Best Places for Meeting DTF Chicks”. Ugh…just give me the “2+2=4” version. As Dom Mazzetti so eloquently put it: I don’t want someone to enrich my life, I want someone to reassure me that my shitty life is adequate. And when it comes to haters who try to give you all the complicated, scientific-based information on how our minds work and how to make real change: It’s the same reason I don’t read books, because books intimidate me and remind me how dumb I am. Why should I waste time getting smarter or making peace with my insecurities, when I can just level the playing field and watch Digimon reruns with my [mentally challenged] cousin? That sounds like a Saturday to me! So don’t fret about the haters and experts. We’re here to hold you tight, tell you you’re awesome no matter what, and that whatever path you choose in life is great. As we’ve established in Step 1, you can do nothing wrong. Life isn’t about learning from mistakes, it’s about disregarding the notion of a “mistake”. Because you’re awesome. DO NOTHING “What’s this? Step 4?” – an avid reader exclaims. – “But I thought you said it was a 3-step solution?” Well, my avid motivation approval-seeking friend, if you’re able to read through all the shit advice we provide on a daily basis without vomiting, then you’ve proven you’ll gobble up basically anything we throw at you. So let’s call this the “Bonus Chapter”, which we included because we’re just nice like that. Some writers actually take time to research and back up what they say…but who the hell has time for that? I can fart out another “Top 10 Reasons You’re Awesome” fluff piece in half an hour and you would still eat that shit up. You don’t care about the quality of the content you read, so why should we? Just give me all of it! Have you seen our “motivational content” sites? We’ve got like 13 different sidebars with subscription boxes, social media links, advertisements, share buttons, and all the shit we’re trying to sell you. Since actual “content” makes up about 15% of any page, I’m surprised you’re even able to find it. It’s like playing “Where’s Waldo?” every time you open up a new post. If you really did have a winner’s mentality, you’d be reading something with actual substance in it (like this or this or this). You would be working, learning, and improving yourself, not leaving bland comments like “OMG that is so true, I do need to respect myself (because, like, I didn’t know that before reading this)”. But you still read our unoriginal posts, because we tell you what you want to hear. We tell you that everything about you is great, and if something happens to be a little off-balance, you can fix it in five easy steps. Because if you were actually interested in changing yourself in a meaningful way, you would be smart enough to see through our bullshit. Because if you were actually awesome, you wouldn’t need us to tell you that. (Un)Truly Yours, Every Generic Self-Help Writer Ever *** P.S. Apparently, a lot of you don’t realize this article is making fun of generic self-help bullshit. Even worse, some of you share this thinking it’s a genuine motivational article — probably because you didn’t even read the fucking thing. If that’s you, I want to tell you something.

Sensi praises Antonio Conte for getting the best from the team

Inter Milan midfielder Stefano Sensi has praised manager Antonio Conte for the way he brings out the best in the players. Sensi started his career with Cesena before moving on to Sassuolo in 2016. After failing to break into the first team at these clubs, the midfielder made headlines by securing a loan move to Inter Milan in 2019. Conte’s team have been able to put up a fight for the domestic campaign in recent weeks. He has been able to bring a winning mentality that has been absent from Inter Milan for quite a while.

Sensi has been brought on a loan deal, but Inter have the option of making his move permanent for €25 million. The latest praise of the manager is a confident sign thatSensi is happy to play for Antonio Conte and that a move could be made permanent in the next few weeks. Inter only have two games left in the domestic campaign before they take on Getafe in the Europa League. The club have failed to dispossess Juve from the top of the table, but they are still every opportunity to finish in the second place. Inter are facing stiff competition from Atalanta and Lazio, who are just one point behind.

A second-place finish can be very important for Inter considering the struggles faced by the team in the past years.“He made me understand that I can be suitable for football played 360 degrees  and that the application is fundamental. With him on the bench the concentration increases.I didn’t expect to have the start that I did but above all I didn’t expect to see the fans wearing the shirt with my name on it right away.It’s something that gives me goosebumps, I have never felt so much affection,” said Sensi.

5 Frequently Missed Tax Deductions and Credits

Posted in Taxes
February 2nd 2017 by
0 comment

You want to get the biggest refund you can, but you need to know all the deductions and credits you qualify for in order to get that. Here are five that a lot of people miss out on:

Jury Duty

Many employers will pay you your normal pay when serving for jury duty, but you may be asked to hand over your jury duty payment right to them.  If this happens, make sure you deduct your jury pay from your taxes. Jury duty is taxable income, so you don’t want to be taxed for money that goes right through your hands.

Union Dues

Many labor unions collect dues annually, and they’re usually just withdrawn from employees’ paychecks. These dues can be deducted during tax time.

Protective Clothing

Carpenters, electricians, and other professions require protective clothing to do the job. This clothing may need to be purchased by the worker, and if that’s the case, it can be deducted as an expense.

Gambling Losses

If you itemize deductions, gambling losses can be listed. However, your losses can’t surpass winnings. For example, if you won $3,000 but loss $5,000, you can only claim losses up to $3,000. Remember to keep all documentation.

Earned Income Tax Credit

The IRS says about 25% of taxpayers who qualify for the Earned Income Tax Credit don’t actually claim it. This credit was developed as a way to supplement wages for lower income workers. However, lower income has evolved to mean different things: you may qualify if you lose your job, take a pay cut or work fewer hours. The amount you get depends on your income, marital status and family size.

Use TurboTax through My CU Online

TurboTax makes filing taxes easy and helps you find the deductions and credits you qualify for. When you click the TurboTax link in My CU Online, you’ll also get entered for a chance to win $25,000!

The US Secretary of Education recently asked Congress to fund, among other things, resources to help teachers “personalize learning”.

Lots of other education leaders talk about we need “individualized” learning.

Junk mail from edtech companies offer to sell me “solutions” that will help teachers “individualize” or “personalize” their instruction.

Setting aside the fact that the ultimate goal in most discussions of this topic, and certainly for the corporate “solutions”, is to improve standardized test scores, I find something very wrong with those two terms, “individualize” and “personalize”.

Both carry the implication of an action done for (or possibly to) someone else. In the case of K12 education, the teacher (or increasingly a set of algorithms) will individualize/personalize an instructional plan that is then carried out by the student. Based on a whole bunch of data, of course.

However, make a very small change to the vocabulary – individual instead of individualize or personal instead of personalize – and you arrive at a very different concept, the idea we should be talking about.

Individual learning, personal learning, is something you do for yourself, certainly with input from friends, family, members of your network, but always under your own direction, based on your own goals. And always subject to revision at any time. With the essence being the individual in control.

Now I’m not saying we should turn all decisions about curriculum over to students; make everything in school optional. Certainly there is a basic foundation of knowledge and skills everyone needs before they can make any meaningful goals for themselves. Being able to read and write effectively in your native language should be a given and we can debate what is added beyond that.

However, in the larger picture of K12 schooling, learning cannot be truly individual or personal unless the student is directly involved and allowed to make real choices.

Ok, am I being too nit picky about language? Maybe. But it’s said that words matter, the vocabulary you use is important.

And when I look at the context surrounding the pronouncements about personalized learning by Duncan and other education “experts”, not to mention in the marketing materials from any number of vendors, there is very little about including students in the decision making process.

Just lots of adults crafting an “individualized” education for kids who will live in a very different future from the one they faced.

4 Important Guidelines To Help You Choose The Right Family Attorney

According to, family law involves those laws that collectively deal with matters of impact to family relationships, such as divorce, adoption, abuse and custody. A person who deals with such matters is, therefore, a family attorney. If you are dealing with any of the situations above, you might need a family attorney to ensure that your case goes well, and that you win. Choosing a family attorney can be difficult because of the delicacy of the matters at hand. You need to find somebody that you can trust with your secrets. Therefore, when choosing the right lawyer from Lember and Williams, here are a few guidelines that can help:

  1. Knowledge

You need to get a lawyer that has in-depth knowledge on family law and the expectations of the legal system in any given scenario. This will ensure that all the requirements are met on time. They will also advice you on how to handle your case in such a way that you don't create more problems for yourself. Furthermore, a good family attorney will be able to advice you on when to take your case to court, and when to settle for mediation. The latter can save you money and time in terms of legal fees and court proceedings.

  1. Experience

Experience is the key to success. This statement is true more often than not. This is because experience teaches somebody the pitfalls of certain situations and how to avoid them. An experienced family attorney will be able to steer you from making mistakes that could negatively affect the outcome of your case. Based on previous encounters, they will be able to advice you on the best steps to take and when to take them. They will also be in a better position to conduct themselves decently in a court of law since they have done it before.

  1. Charges

Some law firms work on some of the cases for free. This is referred to as pro bono work. If you are lucky to get such a lawyer, you might not need to pay for anything. On the other hand, some family attorneys require payment for their services. It will be wise if you inquire about the charges during your first meeting. If they are charging you too extravagantly, don't accept the offer. This is because some cases take forever to close leading to the accruing of ridiculous charges that you will need to pay. In other scenarios, the law firm you are dealing with might not ask for payment unless you win the case. Make sure that this is legit, and that there are no hidden charges. Basically, choose the option that suits you.

  1. Guidance

If you have never been in a situation that requires a family attorney, you might be confused and stressed about where to begin. Apart from providing legal services, the family attorney should also be in a position to offer you guidance and a bit of counselling. If need be, they should be able to refer you to a therapist. Choose a family attorney that you can confide in, and who understands you. This is so as to avoid feeling judged and alienated.

since I contacted ALLO about the static problems with the early DigiOne board causing the Pi to have to be powered down/up several times a day.

Crickets, at least so far.

Not a HUGE deal as I do have other strategies for getting Audirvana to the DAC in the 'casita' via ethernet, such as the uRendu in MPD/UPnP mode.

If this goes on for a long time I might try a Pi4/Volumio solution and bite the bullet with USB to the DAC.

Will give me an opportunity to use some of those USB 'clean up' boxes I have laying about.

Audrey: Deardra came. I’m in my chair and we go out. Everything going ﬁne! Stephanie and her sister look  just alike. Been out and walked around a lot. I was with Deardra.

I called Dawn. She’s got a boyfriend! He was a college professor. He is a “gentleman”. He is older than she. Spencer couldn’t get over it! (he was surprised but happy for her).

Amber and Crystal pop in. Amber bought curtains yesterday. She is having lots of fun. It’s nice to settle down. She has her own car. Today, men and women both need a car.

Amber’s boyfriend is awfully good to her. He’s a good guy. I hope they get settled down and both enjoy their life!

I have the unique privilege of coaching a lot of business clients, and one is actually in a group, and they’re fitness professionals. Now, these are fitness professionals with over five years of experience in the fitness industry, and all of them own their own facility. They’re extremely intelligent individuals, but when it comes to their business, typical business operations, often time, they use the excuse of it being too complex, not enjoying it, or just not understanding.

I’ll hear things like, “Ah, Doug, I just don’t get it,” or, “I just don’t understand what this means,” or, “I don’t understand this whole marketing, analytics, Facebook, Google, Twitter, LinkedIn. All these things are just overwhelming., I don’t get it.” To them, I have to say, “BS.” Why is it BS, is because these are all smart people. They can tell you the bones in your body, the muscles, the insertions, the origins, flexion, extension, inversion, all of these complex physiological and anatomical terms. They know it, and they’ve learned it. Why? They like it. That’s the difference.

What they haven’t done is they’ve created, excuse me, what they have done is they’ve created a story. This is a story all of us fall into. There’s something. For me, it used to be finances and money. I just don’t get it. I don’t understand how these people are rich, how these people aren’t. It’s fake money. I just, for some reason, didn’t get it. I used that as a crutch for myself, an excuse not to manage my money in my early 20s. I used this as, “I don’t understand this”, but at the same time I was teaching at a high-level different exercise physiology, anatomy, marketing. All these other things that others would call ‘Complex’, but to me seem so simple. The reason is I had passion behind it and I took time to learn what these items were.

These fitness business owners, again, highly intelligent people, are using that same crutch. Don’t we all? Isn’t there an area in your life that you’re probably using as a crutch, something that’s too complex and you’re saying, “You know what, it’s too hard, it’s too complex”, and that’s the reason you’re not excelling or actually doing it. For this individual, I just explain to them. I say, “Do you know what a bicep is versus a brachioradialis?” They say, “Yeah Doug, of course, I do. I’m in the fitness industry. That’s a dumb question. I’m a professional.” I say, “Exactly”. That’s an anatomical term that the average person does not understand and couldn’t point out.

Same goes for marketing. You took time to learn this. You took time to learn the body because you cared. You knew you were going to help people. In order to help people and be really good at it and also to get the accolades that come with being an expert in the fitness industry, you need to know these things. They agreed. “Yeah, I do.” Now, as a business owner, it’s your duty to understand marketing. It’s your duty to understand your numbers. It’s your duty to understand finance. It’s not only your duty to yourself but your duty to your employees, to your family and also your customers to some degree. You owe it to them.

As a business owner, I think this is your responsibility. You need to know the whole game and understand it. Do you have to know everything? No. Absolutely not, but you have to know enough. You have to know enough and be able to push a button and bring an expert in, much like Henry Ford did on his assembly line. If he needed a question, he pushed a button and asked an expert. He knew enough to know if that expert knew what they were talking about.

As a business owner, if you have a large organization with thousands of employees, you can get away with that. As a solopreneur or a small business owner, you can’t. You need to know enough to be dangerous in each of these areas, but this also goes for you.

If you’re listening to this right now, which you are obviously, or watching me, there’s an area of your life I can almost guarantee that you’re using an excuse of it being too complex. I don’t understand. I just don’t get it. The reason you’re doing that is it’s easier to go that way and you probably don’t enjoy it. You don’t enjoy that subject matter. Aren’t there all kinds of things in our life that at one time seemed just overwhelming and super complicated, but once we dug in just a little bit, just a little bit around that curve, they became easy and intuitive and they came just … You can think of things even from childhood like riding a bike. No one just jumps on and it’s easy. You fall all the time. You mess up. You have training wheels. It takes a while. Now, after a while, you can just get on a bike and ride. You don’t even think about it.

The same is with my business. I just don’t think about it. I know my numbers. I know marketing. I know how to brand and innovation. I understand all of this. I know how to build a business. It’s just intuitive to me at this point in my life, but it wasn’t always like that. It’s something that I had to learn.

Finances are the same thing. It’s an area that I continue to study, understanding banking. The reason I study it is because it is my crutch. It’s something that I get to overcome to become a better man, a better human and to improve upon myself.

What I want you to do today is think about it. Think about these fitness business owners that I talk about that are, again, they’re extremely intelligent and how they, most of them have this excuse that they’re leaning on this crutch of an excuse saying, and especially in their marketing and their business development and growth that it’s too complex and they just don’t get it. How does that apply to you? How does that apply to me in my life?

I want to you do, is write in your journal, just like I’m about to do as soon as I get off of here. Write in the journal through your Five to Thrive, where are those crutches for you. Where, in your Five to Thrive, are you making an excuse? Is it in your mind that there’s a language that’s just too hard. You know what? Mandarin is just too hard for me to learn. Spanish is too hard for me. It’s too difficult. I’m too hold. What’s your excuse? Your body. Nutrition, is it paleo? I just don’t get it. I don’t understand how you can do metabolic training or even what metabolic training means. You have one body, you should know some of the basics. Is it in the area of your soul, your religion? Have you strayed away from your religion because it’s too complex or have you gone away or do you understand? Are you saying all Christians are bad or all Muslims are bad because you really just don’t get it, or maybe meditation?

I hear this a lot about meditation. I was one of these people that wouldn’t meditate because it’s just not for me. My mind goes everywhere until I learned that’s kind of the reason you meditate. You need to just push through that little barrier.

Or, is it in your relationships? How often do all of us hear from the opposite sex stuff like, “I don’t understand women? I don’t understand men.”, or whatever. Really, there’s not a lot to understand. Relationships are dynamic and there are some very simple basic things that you can learn to do and they’re very teachable. Get a relationship coach or grab some books.

Or, is it your business? Do you not know your numbers? What’s your rent? Do you know? If I asked you right now, “What’s your rent?”, what is it? If you’re a business owner, how much is your payroll? How much do you pay in taxes on average? What are your quarterlies? These are numbers you should know. What’s your profit? What’s your loss? If I ask you these statements on your balance sheet, where are you today? Are you profitable? Most business owners, even successful business owners don’t know a lot of these common questions. That’s because they use it as a crutch. It’s just too complex and I’m just really good at what I do, but you’re not being a good steward of your own journey and your own story if you don’t know these answers.

Where does it fall for you? In your Five to Thrive, where are you making excuses? I’m going to be doing the same thing because you can always peel back that onion a little bit deeper. If, for example, for me, finances come up again, if that’s where I’m looking at, because I know there are certain things with finances I just don’t quite get. Right now, I understand blockchain programming. I’ve learned about that, but there are certain applications with blockchain I don’t quite get. It’s pretty complex, so I think I’m going to push myself over the edge and really learn it, not because I’m ever going to anything with it, but it just allows you just that little extra edge. You’re pushing yourself just like if you can do 10 pushups, but you do 11 rather than 8, it’s a big difference for you in the longterm in just your mental game and your physical game.

That’s what I’ll be doing. I’m going to ask you to do the same thing right now. I would really love to hear from you. Reach out to me, let me know what it is for you so I don’t feel alone on this journey. I’m always improving myself and always working on bettering my game as well as pushing my clients. That’s why I think of you, this community. Author of your own story. You’re here right now because you want to better yourself and I love you for that. I really, I get it and I understand and respect the journey that you’re on.

That’s it for me today. As always, I’m going to encourage you one, share this with somebody. Share it because they’re going to get something out of this. It’s going to be totally different than what you’re getting out of it and you might be giving it to them at that right time. I hear from so many of you that I’ve never met before that how just one of these daily growth hacks hit you at the right time, the right moment in your life and allowed you to, when you’re going left to shift to right, going right down that different direction and it’s made all the difference. That makes me feel so great, but just imagine sharing this with somebody else that you can make that change for.

Then, I’m also going to ask you to make sure you sign up for the newsletter. Sign up for the newsletter so you can get the tips and tricks. I get a lot of emails asking questions. A lot of this stuff is covered in our newsletters at much greater depth. That’s my gift to you. We pour ourselves into these. Coming mid-December, we’re going to be launching a whole new facet of this that I want you to be involved in. Please, sign up for the newsletter right now.

Number three, and the most important go out and inspire someone simply by following your own dreams. Be the author of your own story and inspire others around you. Have a great day and I’ll see you tomorrow.

Revit to Autodesk CFD Workflow—Best Practices for the Real AEC Industry Examples
Collapse Expand

The issue of taking architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) models into simulation software is becoming a hot topic in the industry as companies are starting to include simulation in their Building Information Modeling (BIM) efforts. This class will describe the workflow involved in going from a full Revit model to Autodesk CFD results, providing a set of tools to modify, simplify, and customize our Revit model so the transition and the setup is optimum. Then, it will describe how to set the actual model in Autodesk CFD, analyze results, and take the relevant design decisions to optimize our designs. The workflow will be based on real examples from the AEC industry, stressing the importance of following best practices to reduce project time and costs. The class can be taken as documentation and a great set of tips and tricks to take models from Revit to Autodesk CFD for future AEC projects. It is important to note that a Revit expert (Mathijs Van Baal) will be a co-speaker to fully cover all aspects and questions that may arise from our talk.

Key Learnings

  • Learn how to recognize a set of tools for customization of a Revit model to launch into Autodesk CFD
  • Learn how to use the toolset provided to modify other models in an optimum way

The following simple and inexpensive preventive checks will greatly extend the life of the vehicle, ensure safer operation and even benefit the environment.

Always consult your owner's manual for individual service schedules because maintenance requirements vary by manufacturer.

  • Always consult your owner's manual, but a good rule of thumb is to have the oil filter changed regularly - every 3,000 to 4,000 miles.
  • Have all fluids checked, including brake, power steering, transmission/transaxle, windshield washer solvent and antifreeze. These fluids play a large role in the safety and performance of the vehicle.
  • Check tire inflation. Under-inflated tires can result in a loss of fuel efficiency. This is the least expensive form of preventive and safety maintenance. Tires should be checked once a month.
  • Keep your engine tuned. A fouled spark plug or plugged/restricted fuel injector can reduce fuel efficiency by as much as 30 percent.
  • Have the chassis lubricated frequently. This step extends the life of the moving components of the vehicle's suspension system.
  • Check battery cables and posts for corrosion and clean them as needed. The battery fluid also should be checked and filled if it is low, unless it is a maintenance-free battery.
  • Have the lighting system checked frequently, including headlights, turn signals, and brake and taillights.
  • Check windshield washer blades for cracks, tears and windshield contact. Replace them at least once a year, or sooner if streaking begins.
  • Inspect engine belts regularly. Worn belts will affect the engine performance. Look for cracks and missing sections or segments.
  • Have the air filtration system checked frequently. The air filter should be checked every other oil change for clogging or damage. This system ensures that the vehicle is performing at its peak condition.

I have received nothing short of stellar mechanical service and professionalism. He has been honest and performed repair work on multiple gas and diesel engines for me. His ability to repair reefer units is better than any of the so-called experts, who were constantly trying to saddle me with the expense of a new unit, while not properly fixing the issue before them.

Love After Lockdown: 7 Hot Dates to Make Things IRL with Your Pandemic Crush Post-Quarantine

This post is sponsored by Wet for Her.

a triptych featuring three queer people in sexy situations - frame one is a girl laying back with her arms behind her head and a book on her chest, frame two is a person on their knees, holding up a puzzle piece with their butt in the air, frame 3 is two hands with painted fingernails, one of the hands has on a finger extender

I’ve been on lockdown alone and like many of y’all, all my toys look at me and roll their eyes when I reach for them. I miss going on dates and flirting with each other, building up for the moment we both reach for the check and she asks if I want to have a drink at her place. I miss saying yes and ending up with our clothes off and getting hot and sweaty a half-hour later on her couch. Things are starting to look up in the slightest of ways and we’re figuring out what the new normal is in everything, and that includes sex and discovering new hot post-quarantine date ideas.

We’ve been in a digital daze for what seems like forever and some of us have gotten accustomed to virtual dating, we’ve been training for this since we were 15 and having cybersex with our Canadian girlfriends online. Now, we need to start preparing ourselves to take it back offline and into the real world. I’m a firm believer in the “New Partner, New Toy” theory, and if you are too, you know the best part is shopping for a new toy together.

You and your cyber cutie have probably gone from simple sexting to full-on virtual sex and maybe have seen each others toy or two – but what about exploring something to use together once it’s safe to meet up again? Wet for Her is low key making it hella easy to mix online shopping with your hot post-quarantine date ideas. They’ve given us the perfect pairing with their Fusion Dildo and Harness Kit! First of all, the Tomboi harness slides on just like regular underwear and they go up to a 5x. I love underwear harnesses because of the ease and fit; little hint, size under if you’re in between sizes; the fit is supposed to be a little tight for dildo stability. After you wiggle them on you just slide the dildo in through the O-ring and voila! The Fusion Dildo comes in THREE sizes, so you can let her pick which one she likes best or better yet get all three and work your way up.

Fusion Dildo and Harness Kit

Wet for Her is making it fun and simple to ease back into the physical world with your online bae — if you two have both been quarantining solo apart from each other and are ready to take things further, maybe that moment is coming soon! (Obviously, we aren’t recommending you break quarantine to have sex! Plan for the future!) You can set up a facetime date to shop the online store together and then make my hot post-quarantine date ideas your own when you’re ready to take it to the next level.

Hot Post-Quarantine Date Ideas

post quarantine date ideas - book club - girl laying back with her arms behind her head and a book on her chest

Date #1: Bookclub Baby-Girl

You’ve been meeting virtually looking as cool and chill as you can in your best pajamas to discuss the lit that you’ve been escaping into. Now it’s time for you and baby girl to meet offline. If you both are up to it, maybe you meet and walk over to your fav local bookshop and start browsing the shelves. You could each take a hot polaroid, hide it in a book, and have a quick scavenger hunt. Do you know what could add to this moment you’ve both been waiting for? You imagining her mouth around your new strap. You’ve been watching her lips read your favorite passages for months, now you just want to make her be quiet but in the best way possible.

post quarantine date ideas - manicure - two hands with painted fingernails, one of the hands has on a finger extender

Date #2: Nail Me

Yall have both followed your fav beauty influencers at home manicure tutorials to a T. Bring all your tools over and your favorite colors and do each other’s nails. You can file each other’s nails down nice and smooth and hold her hands in yours while you slowly paint her nails your favorite color. With each finger you paint have her tell you a naughty thought she’s had of you. Just be sure to let the nails dry, there is nothing like the taste of nail varnish to ruin the moment when her fingers are in your mouth later. If you’re too impatient, put on Wet For Her’s finger extender and worry about fixing your manicured nails later.

post quarantine date ideas - trivia time - two naked bodies scissoring with paper and pencil scattered about

Date #3: Trivia Time

Some of us are more competitive than others and if you don’t know who in your group that is, take them to trivia. You and your cyber sweetheart may have met in a virtual trivia night when you both argued with the host about several of their answers being incorrect. Bring that fire to your first IRL date. Watch a movie for as long as you can and then move it to the bed. Slide the Rock Her scissoring vibrator between the two of you and with each question she gets right, up goes the speed, each one she gets wrong – down it goes.

post quarantine date ideas - picnic - three queer people feeding each other fruit, one is blindfolded

Date #4: Picnic for Two – or Three

Remember a month ago when you all propped your computers up in the kitchen and had virtual brunch every Saturday? Cracked eggs, traded recipes, and tried to find the proper way to tilt your plate to show your dish without it all spilling onto your computer? Plan to move it outside to your favorite shaded park. All three of you can sit on your gingham oversized blanket and share the sexiest fruits. Bring a bandanna and blindfold them as you feed them juicy watermelon that drips out when they bite into it, have them bite into cherries while you bite their thighs and use their fingers to make that orange open up gently and easily.

post quarantine date ideas - puzzles - a person on their knees, holding up a puzzle piece with their butt in the air

Date #5: A Piece of the Puzzle

You had zero interest in puzzles before all of this but now you suddenly find yourself on your local puzzle exchange message board. The hottie down the street who you’ve been exchanging with has been getting more flirtatious with every exchange. My suggestion? Spray the puzzle pieces down and when it’s time to get a little closer, invite her over to do a new one together. With every piece that fits one of you gets a kiss; the hope is that you don’t make it through the puzzle but instead end up on top of it with the pieces stuck to your ass.

post quarantine date ideas - dancing - two bodies grinding and grasping each other's asses

Date #6: Dance with Me

Hit the slow grind in your apartment. You’ve been having these cute dance parties to your fav queer playlists that no doubt feature hot hits to shake your ass to. This time though, take it slow when it’s just you and her in the middle of your living room. Start pressed together with your hands wandering to the places you have been wanting to touch since they came up on your computer screen. Put together a 10 song playlist and at the end, one of you gets to sit on the couch and have the private dance of your dreams.

post quarantine date ideas - painting - a naked genderqueer person being drawn by a sexy friend

Date #7: Paint and Play

You know exactly where I am going with this. Y’all have been sending each other photos of the art you’ve been creating while inside. Maybe you’ve been sketching each other based on the selfies you’ve been posting but now it’s time for the real thing. Channel your inner Celine Sciamma and have her sit on the bed while you paint away. Have her wear what she feels hottest in and let’s be real, you know you’ll love it too. No touching until you’re done – if you can last that long.

Let me say something straight up, I am not encouraging y’all to go outside or break quarantine RIGHT NOW. It’s going to be different out there but, wait until the time is right, and these hot-post-quarantine date ideas paired with the strap on kit (and more) will make it a little less awkward and a lot more Wet for Her – and you.

Shelli has written 38 articles for us.

  1. I love this article and went to check out the link. It’s an online shop that is “inclusive but by and for lesbians” but they have a section just for trans men… but nothing specifically for trans women, who are actually a part of their target audience! (Women, queer women) I left them a comment asking if they could have something for trans fem folks too and to generally clean up the language they use. I appreciate the attempt at inclusion but it also feels pretty biologically reductionist to have a trans masc section in the lesbian website but nothing for trans fem people :-(
    Trans women need strap on harnesses too! Ayyeee.
    So anyway maybe if anyone else buys something from them maybe you could also drop them a friendly note about it!

    • Hi Holly

      Thank you for your feedback. We at Wet For Her are in the process of making changes. We’re working on the language and exploring introducing a section for Trans Women too.

      Please bear with us as we do this.

      Thank you again

 2019 BMW 3 Series vs 2018 BMW 3 Series: Comparison - autoX

2019 BMW 3 Series vs 2018 BMW 3 Series: Comparison

By Dhruv Behl | on August 21, 2019

BMW claims that the 3 Series has gone back to its roots of being the ultimate sports sedan. Well, there’s only one way to find out – drive the brand new one alongside the outgoing 3 to see if it lives up to the hype…

The 3 Series is arguably the most important sports sedan of all time. Not only has it been the benchmark from the driver’s seat since inception, but it’s been pretty successful on the sales charts too – they have, after all, sold 15 million of them over its 6 generations. The latest – known as the G20 – is the all-new 7th gen.

I’ve been fortunate to have owned three (which is only fitting) generations of the 3 Series over the years – the E30 from the ‘80s, E36 from the ‘90s, and the F30 from the 2000s (the one featured here is my daily driver). That leads me to believe that I’m quite qualified to voice my opinion on the subject. Or am I? Obviously, I’m biased! Since no one put a gun to my head and insisted that I drive three different generations of the 3 Series, it would be no surprise to learn that I’m a fan.

2019 BMW 3 Series Vs 2018 BMW 3 Series

And so I’ve had the pleasure of enjoying the slightly hairy nature of the E30, which was a brilliant driver’s car, as well as the still analogue E36, which has one of the most driver focussed cabins of any sedan – ever. The F30 328i, however, lost its inline-six in place of a four-cylinder turbo-petrol motor. It also got bigger and the ride got softer, which meant that it lost its edge somewhat. Don’t get me wrong, it retains all the inherent goodness that comes with its BMW chassis, as well as the corresponding 50:50 weight distribution, but the suspension became a little too soft for my liking – and the high-speed stability took a hit as a result.

With the new one, BMW aims to take the 3 back to its roots of being the ‘ultimate driving machine.’ At the same time, they also have to make it cutting edge, tech laden and more luxurious than ever. And that’s not exactly an easy task when you have the weight of the 3 Series legacy on your shoulders. So how does the all-new G20 fare?

2019 BMW 3 Series Motion

Bigger nostrils, as well as just about everything else
BMW no longer wants their cars to blend in, and nowhere is this more true than with the all-new X7 and facelifted 7 Series – featured elsewhere in this issue. The kidney grilles in those cars deserve their own zip codes. Thankfully, the new 3 Series isn’t quite as brash. However, gone is the sleek, slender front end of the outgoing car in favour of a far more imposing face – courtesy of a pair of flared, chrome lined, nostrils. It also gets equally expressive headlights, with sharp creases that cut into the front bumper.

2019 BMW 3 Series Grille

On the whole, though, this new car wears its heritage on its sleeve. In profile, it looks unmistakably like a 3, with the famous BMW Hofmeister kink at the C-pillar neatly integrated into the rear door. The lines around the side are sharper, but it’s at the back where the new 3 really dates the outgoing model. It’s cleaner, sleeker and more modern looking – an especially nice touch is the 3D effect of the taillights. The dual tailpipes, now standard even on this 320d, are another nice touch. As for the dual tips on the F30 328i that you see here, well, that’s an aftermarket exhaust to quench my boy racer thirst!
What’s immediately evident when you put these two machines together is the fact that the incoming 3 Series is visibly larger than the outgoing car. It’s 76mm longer and 16mm wider.

2019 BMW 3 Series Interior

Bigger where it counts
The increased overall length leads to an extra 41mm within the wheelbase, and this comes to great use in the cabin of the new 3. In the past, the cabin of the 3 Series has been exclusively moulded around the driver – often to the detriment of the other passengers. And while the F30 was larger than its predecessor, the rear seat was nevertheless cramped.

Immediately, when you get into the new 3 Series, you feel like you’ve moved into a more luxurious machine – so much so that it even feels like it’s one segment up from its predecessor. Even the steering is softer to hold, as the leather has more padding. The quality of materials and the fit-and-finish are on another level. Our test car had a beautiful chocolate brown interior, with dark wood trim and silver accents that give it a classy, minimalist quality. At the same time, the switchgear looks and feels familiar.

2019 BMW 3 Series Vs 2018 BMW 3 Series Rear

BMW’s latest generation iDrive system works via a familiar rotary control knob, but the screen is now touchscreen as well. Fortunately, the centre console still houses a volume control knob, as well as physical buttons for the basic AC controls. The iDrive screen, meanwhile, is apparently the only curved glass screen in the automotive world, and it appears to just melt into BMW’s new digital instrument cluster.

Now I’m a big fan of the big analogue dials that have been a trademark of all BMWs thus far, but I have to say that the new digital instrument cluster works really well. The new 3 also comes with your very own ‘BMW personal assistant,’ who you can talk to (if you speak clearly enough that is), but it feels like more of a gimmick than anything else. The wireless charging and wireless Apple CarPlay, however, are both very useful features.

2018 BMW 3 Series 328i

On the whole, though, it’s the space and comfort in the cabin of the new 3 Series that really stands out.

Proof of the pudding
Tech and luxury are all very well, but the 3 Series has cut its teeth and become a household name the world over because of the way it goes down the road – so it’s time to put these two machines to the test on the move.

Now, they’re not directly comparable – the new 320d comes with a 2.0-litre turbo-diesel that produces 188bhp and 400Nm, while the outgoing 328i that we have here sports a 2.0-litre turbo-petrol motor that makes 240bhp and 350Nm.

Of course, the 328 is faster, but here again it’s the refinement and sense of serenity of the new car that shines through. The incoming 3 Series comes with an acoustic glass windshield, as well as enough insulation to block out any hint of diesel clatter. The diesel motor now comes with two turbos – one low-pressure turbo and another high-pressure turbo. They work in conjunction to ensure that there’s no turbo lag whatsoever – making the power delivery seamless. But what happens when you push it?

My biggest grouse with the outgoing F30 is its soft suspension setup. In an effort to make the 3 Series more usable – on our roads especially – BMW softened the suspension setup so much that the 328i wallows in quite an ungainly manner over road undulations. Fortunately, the chassis of the G20 is far stiffer. The front suspension mounting points, in fact, are 50% stiffer than before. As a result, the engineers can run quite a compliant suspension setup and still ensure great body control. Another benefit of a stiffer structure is incredible handling and grip levels. But the all-important question is this – is the new 3 Series more fun to drive?

2018 BMW 3 Series Motion

Well, in that sense, this is an unfair comparison – because 240 horses trump 188 every day of the week. And, frankly, 188 aren’t anywhere near enough to do justice to this phenomenal chassis. So, if it’s fun that you’re after, you need the 255 horses of the 330i at the very least – preferably in M-Sport trim with 18-inch wheels at the very least.

Nevertheless, from an objective standpoint, it seems that the new 3 Series is better in every way than the outgoing machine. Darwin would be pleased – it seems that the theory of evolution applies not only to the natural world but to the automotive world as well.

“Sentinel-6 Michael Freilich” satellite successfully lifted off into space on a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket

© Airbus

The Airbus-built European ocean satellite “Copernicus Sentinel-6 Michael Freilich” has successfully begun its “Seeing-the-Seas” mission. On 21 November 2020 the satellite lifted off from Space Launch Complex 4E at Vandenberg Air Force Base in California, USA. Approximately one and a half hours after the launch, the first signals from the spacecraft were received by a ground station in Alaska.

The Copernicus Sentinel-6 Michael Freilich will carry out high-precision measurements of ocean surface topography. The satellite will measure its distance to the ocean surface with an accuracy of a few centimetres and use this data to map it, repeating the cycle every 10 days, with the mission lasting up to seven years.

Along with measuring the global sea-level rise and ocean circulation, the satellite will record vertical profiles of atmospheric temperature and humidity.

The mission findings will enable governments and institutions to establish effective protection for coastal regions. The data will be invaluable not only for disaster relief organisations but also for authorities involved in urban planning, securing buildings or commissioning dykes. The data will also help scientists to further improve weather forecasts and hurricane predictions” said Philippe Pham, Head of Earth Observation, Navigation and Science at Airbus.

The satellite is on a 1336 km non-Sun-synchronous orbit with an inclination of 66 degrees so that it passes over locations at different times of the day and night, enabling it to measure changes that may vary throughout 24-hours, like the tides.

Global sea levels are currently rising by an average of 3.3 millimetres a year as a result of global warming; this could potentially have dramatic consequences for countries with densely populated coastal areas.

The Sentinel-6 mission is part of the European Union Copernicus Programme for the environment. This mission comprises two satellites and has been developed under Airbus’ industrial leadership. While it is a European mission, Sentinel-6 is a true example of international cooperation: it has been jointly developed by ESA, NASA, EUMETSAT and NOAA, with support from CNES.

Each satellite carries a radar altimeter, which works by measuring the time it takes for radar pulses to travel to the surface and back again to the satellite. Combined with precise satellite location data, altimetry measurements yield the height of the sea surface.

The satellites’ instrument package also includes an advanced microwave radiometer that accounts for the amount of water vapour in the atmosphere, which affects the speed of the altimeter’s radar pulses.

The satellite weighs approximately 1.5 tonnes. Now starting with Sentinel-6 Michael Freilich, the satellites will collect satellite-based measurements of the oceans’ surfaces, continuing a task that first began in 1992. The second Sentinel-6 spacecraft is expected to follow in 2025.

Paleo Lasagne

Serves: 4

Time: 40 mins

  • 500g  organic beef or turkey mince
  • 2 red onions
  • 4 cloves garlic
  • 500ml organic, no added sugar, tomato and basil sauce (I like Waitrose organic tomato passata)
  • 3 roasted red peppers
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil / butter
  • Fresh basil
  • 1 small butternut squash

1)            Pre-heat the oven to 220ºC. In a frying pan  brown the mince and add the onions and garlic.

2)            Peel the squash and cut in to thick slices (like sheets of lasagne). In a blender, puree the tomato sauce, red peppers,  oil and basil.

3)            Using a baking dish, put enough sauce to lightly cover the bottom. Next add the squash, trying not to overlap the pieces and then spoon on the  mince mixture, followed by the sauce. Repeat until all your ingredients are used up. Reserve enough sauce to cover the top of the lasagne.

4)            Bake for 45 minutes. Leave to stand for 15mins as this will solidify the lasagne. Serve with a green salad

Danzig Εμπόρευμα

Danzing Band Genre: Rock Active: "80s, "90s, 2000s Major Members: Glenn Danzig, Eerie Von, John Christ, Chuck Biscuits, Joey Castillo. During his time in the seminal hardcore band the Misfits, vocalist Glenn Danzig displayed a fascination with outlandish, graphic, often gory imagery; in forming the more heavy metal-oriented band Samhain, Danzig"s lyrics delved into typical metal subject matter, but took the concept of darkness to an extreme. After the demise of Samhain, Danzig formed his own eponymous band with Samhain guitarist John Christ, ex-Rosemary"s Babies drummer Eerie Von on bass, and longtime hardcore drummer Chuck Biscuits (D.O.A., Black Flag, Circle Jerks); this band would prove a more effective vehicle for Danzig"s obsession with the dark side. While that obsession can seem cartoonish at times, there is more to the band than meets the eye -- Danzig obviously relishes casting himself as the menacing, evil heavy metal frontman, and his theatricality often seems to indicate that his posturing is not meant to be taken very seriously. At the same time, the darkness of Danzig"s vision has increasingly expressed itself over the band"s career in a heavily romanticized, brooding, gothic sensibility, more quietly sinister and darkly seductive than obviously threatening or satanic, and the group"s music progressed from simple, blues-based heavy metal riffs to more atmospheric, coldly haunting song textures that attempt to sonically replicate the feel of the lyrics.

    Doctor exposes the REAL reason why the media, left HATE hydroxychloroquine to treat COVID-19

    Jul 30, 2020
    If your only source was the mainstream media, you might think hydroxychloroquine is an extremely dangerous drug. But ER Doctor Simone Gold speaks to Glenn, and she sets the record straight: not only is it a noncontroversial drug that's commonly used around the world, but it could even be bought over the counter in some countries (like France). So why, then, did that all change when President Trump spoke about its potential use in the fight against COVID-19? Why did France remove it from its shelves? And WHY did the media begin praising another drug — Remdesivir — when early trials didn't show immense promise? Gold answers all these questions, and more.

  2. Hey Satan, I mean Pelosi, who you think you're fooling? You can't even run your own state, unless it's to the ground. You're disgusting. We want you and yours gone. You've caused enough damage. You best repent for your sins, lying snake.

  3. Nancy is alive she is colder than ice all she thinks of is ice cream and her hair vacations she does not want to submit to what is right for thee american thee invisible is going to visit her and karma will be at her door god has judge her on her actions

  4. Pelosi aint starving. And has a full meds kit and alcohol cabinet. Always dispised wolf since I was in 6th grade, but this was the only time I have been with his views. Thanks wolf for real journalism this time.

  5. Thank God for Barack Obama, Pelosi says. Indeed, thank goodness for Obama's hundreds of drone strikes and astronomical bombing of the Middle East, to the extent they literally ran out of bombs. That's what a gentleman does of course.

  6. Shes just stupid. Old and stuck in her ways. Be we the people are suffering. And even if shes fighting for us, she should at least vote for us a short bill for the money. Smdh just put her out of her misery.

  7. closely carries on about how this is not their first negotiation and this is a process and they got agree on certain things and where the money goes but this is the first time we've had the academic of people dying and jobs being shut down this is the first first first so the negotiations to take jackrabbit speeds and not going to turtle speed if she's done this for 30 some years and she needs to step it up get the ball rolling instead of putting it on a halt

  8. To me have been negotiated and got along on both sides I think it's more her because I've seen her in action if she just let this happen and and if they got past their differences I already respect Trump she's the one to try to get him for everything she's got to put her attitude inside her she needs to go and attitude can take down a ship the church anything

Jane and the Unpleasantness at Scargrave Manor: Being the First Jane Austen Mystery (Being a Jane Austen Mystery Book 1)

 by Stepahnie Barron

Paperback in Good Condition

For everyone who loves Jane Austen . . . a marvelously entertaining new series that turns the incomparable author into an extraordinary sleuth!

On a visit to the estate of her friend, the young and beautiful Isobel Payne, Countess of Scargrave, Jane bears witness to a tragedy. Isobel's husband—a gentleman of mature years—is felled by a mysterious and agonizing ailment. The Earl's death seems a cruel blow of fate for the newly married Isobel. Yet the bereaved widow soon finds that it's only the beginning of her misfortune . . . as she receives a sinister missive accusing her and the Earl's nephew of adultery—and murder. Desperately afraid that the letter will expose her to the worst sort of scandal, Isobel begs Jane for help. And Jane finds herself embroiled in a perilous investigation that will soon have her following a trail of clues that leads all the way to Newgate Prison and the House of Lords—a trail that may well place Jane’s own person in the gravest jeopardy.

Praise for Jane and the Unpleasantness at Scargrave Manor

“There’s plenty to enjoy in this crime-solving side of Jane. . . . [She] is as worthy a detective as Columbo.”—USA Today

“Happily succeeds on all levels: a robust tale of manners and mayhem that faithfully reproduces the Austen style—and engrosses to the finish.”—Kirkus Reviews

“Splendid fun!”—Star Tribune, Minneapolis

Granger Smith’s Road Caravan Involved in Scary Accident

Written by on August 13, 2018

It’s the road nightmare no artist wants to live — an accident involving you or your crew members.

But what could have been a fatal situation turned out to be disastrous only for Granger Smith’s gear and equipment.

While logging tour miles over the weekend, the tractor-trailer hauling Smith’s and his bandmates’ instruments and gear was involved in a serious accident that left the truck completely mangled, but its driver, Charlie completely unharmed.

“We’ve had a hell of a morning. No one was hurt, and my driver Charlie climbed out without a scratch,” Smith captioned the photo.

“We lost gear, but that all that can be replaced. Grateful for my road brothers, and thankful for another day.”

According to Smith’s video post to fans, the caravan was driving through the foggy and winding mountains of West Virginia, when the tractor-trailer began to sway a bit and Charlie overcompensated at the wheel, which led the trailer to flip completely on its side across the entire interstate as you see in the photo.

But Smith and his crew were worried about one thing only: the safety of Charlie. And because he is okay, they are okay.

In the second video posted, Smith even jokes that the guitars involved in the accident were still in tune.

And the show did go on — Smith and company made it to Baltimore where they put on one hell of a show for fans, grateful to be alive and together.

Australia fires: New blazes forecast as temperatures rise

media captionAustralia bushfires: 'The earth here is scorched'

The massive bushfires raging across Australia are expected to flare up again as temperatures rise in coming days.

So far, four people have died from the fires, which are feeding off drought-stricken farmland and bush.

Conditions improved on Friday but crews were still battling about 120 blazes across New South Wales and Queensland.

And authorities have warned that a bank of hot air is expected to sweep across the country, escalating the fires.

Temperatures across Western Australia are predicted to hit mid-40Cs at the weekend.

The fires have razed about 300 homes, and burnt through over 1 million hectares of land in NSW.

New fires sparked

With little sustained rainfall forecast for the coming months, fire chiefs warn that the fires could burn for weeks and even months.

image captionResidents in affected areas have been advised to leave ahead of danger signs escalating

Queensland authorities said they were expecting new fires to break out next week with higher winds and temperatures. They also predicted the roll in of dry thunderstorms - which could start new fires.

"We're just expecting more of the same," Queensland Fire and Emergency Services spokesman Kevin Reading told the BBC.

media captionHotting up again for for parts of Australia

He said crews were planning on fighting the fires until January - seven weeks away - when meaningful downpours had been forecast.

NSW authorities have issued similar messages.

"[It's] heating up early next week... we're in for the long haul," said NSW Rural Fire Services Deputy Commissioner Rob Rogers.

In NSW, the worst-hit state, fires have threatened both inland rural areas and several populated coastal towns.

'Danger not over'

Shaimaa Khalil, BBC News Australia correspondent

The heavy smell of smoke hits you the second you step out anywhere in Nana Glenn, a small town 600km (370 miles) north of Sydney. It's like a blanket of haze covering this rural area and the neighbouring towns.

Walking around, I could still feel the heat from the scorched ground. Some tree trunks still smouldering while others were hollowed out with a real risk of falling at any moment.

The aftermath of the catastrophic fires is impossible to escape here.

Some locals who've come back to their destroyed properties told us they were trying to deal with the trauma still.

Others whose houses are intact say they're relieved for now but worried that with expected worsening weather conditions, the danger is not over.

Australia's largest city, Sydney, and its surrounding areas also endured "catastrophic" fire danger on Tuesday - the first time that the city had come under the highest threat since the danger rating was introduced in 2009.

Authorities in both eastern states say they believe some fires were deliberately started. A 16-year-old boy was charged with arson on Thursday.

Political debate on climate

The devastation from the fires has prompted furious political debate and criticism of the conservative government's action on climate change.

On Thursday, a group of former fire chiefs said the government's refusal to address climate change had hindered efforts to adequately prepare for the fire season.

"This government fundamentally doesn't like talking about climate change," former NSW Fire and Rescue Commissioner Greg Mullins said.

Prime Minister Scott Morrison has declined to acknowledge climate change while the fires are raging.

Deputy Prime Minister Michael McCormack was also criticised on Monday for dismissing climate change concerns as "the ravings of some pure enlightened and woke capital city greenies".

Climate influence

Official figures show 2018 and 2017 were Australia's third and fourth-hottest years on record respectively, and last year the nation experienced its warmest summer on record.

Scientists and experts say that Australia's fire season has grown longer and more intense due to climate change.

According to the Bureau of Meteorology, climate change had led to an increase in extreme heat events and raised the severity of other natural disasters, such as drought.

Even if global temperatures are contained to a 2C rise above pre-industrial levels - a limit set out in the landmark Paris accord, agreed by 188 nations in 2015 - scientists believe Australia is facing a dangerous new normal.
