What To Look Out For When Purchasing Antique Dining Chairs

As a continuation of our last Carrocel post, this entry is to do with buying dining chairs. Apart from style and aesthetics, the most important thing to consider when buying a chair is its construction. Above all, a quality dining chair should be a solid hardwood, like maple or beech wood. There can be no exceptions to this if you are looking to buy and paying good money for antique dining chairs. I specifically aim to drive this particular point home because of the influx of so many poorly made chairs made in Asia that look stylish and solid but are made from MDF or a very soft lumber like gum wood. They can be purchased at a quarter or so of the price of a beechwood chair but will not stand the test of time.

The way the chair is assembled is second in importance. Chairs that are made poorly are put together with bolts, such as those from China, are not assembled to be sturdy or strong. Even over as short as a period of a few weeks, these chairs can become loose because of the bolts/washer combination.

A well-made chair, on the other hand, is assembled with strong wood glue and wooden dowels. The seat frame should also be reinforced with wooden pieces to strengthen the chair. For instance, here is what an Italian-made solid beechwood quality chair frame looks like.

This chair, for instance, is $795 finished and upholstered. A chair, that looks quite similar, but made in China using gum wood or another poor substitute for wood and assembled with bolts, would cost about $195. While the chair is less expensive, it lacks in the most important area – quality of construction. The bottom line here is to while reproductions from Asia may look good and are cheaper, they are not comparable to a quality solid beech wood chair from Italy.

What's the Biggest Tires That Will Fit a Club Car Precedent

Discussion in 'Club Car Driver's Club' started by mway, Jun 13, 2016.

    I have a 2011 club car precedent with stock tires and wheels. What size tires and wheels will fit with out lifting? Thanks
  2. HotRodCarts

    HotRodCarts Cartaholic

    20" tall tires is the tallest you can go.

    Thanks !

    Matt80 New Member

    2014 Club Car precedent, no lift. What size tires do you recommend for 10" wheels? I was told if I go with 12" wheels I would have to cut part of the inner fender well out on the front passenger side. Not really wanting to do that. Thanks!
  5. HotRodCarts

    HotRodCarts Cartaholic

    Wheel size makes no difference. I'm pretty sure a 20"tall tire will fit on a Club Car Precedent with no lift without rubbing.

All-new Hyundai Verna to get new engine + price drop to challenge Honda City & Maruti Ciaz

All-new Hyundai Verna to get new engine + price drop to challenge Honda City & Maruti Ciaz

The recently launched all-new Hyundai Verna C-Segment sedan will gain a new petrol engine, and along with it a big price drop. The Verna is currently available with 1.6 liter petrol and diesel engines, putting it into the luxury car category of taxation. To correct this, Hyundai will add a 1.4 liter petrol engine to the car. The new Verna 1.4 is days away from launch.

The smaller petrol engine equipped variant will be taxed as a non-luxury car under GST, and will get much cheaper than the 1.6 liter petrol and diesel variants. The Verna 1.4 is likely to start from a little over Rs. 7.5 lakhs, making it much cheaper than the Verna 1.6 Petrol, which starts from Rs. 8 lakhs.

This price drop is expected to drive more buyers in Hyundai showrooms for the new sedan. The 1.4 liter petrol engine will push out 106 Bhp of peak power and 135 Nm of peak torque. A 5 speed manual gearbox will be standard. Twin airbags and ABS will also be standard.

The Verna 1.4 will directly take on the Maruti Ciaz 1.4, which starts from Rs. 7.77 lakhs. The bigger engined Vernas will continue to be sold alongside the entry-level model. The Verna 1.6 Petrol makes 122 Bhp-153 Nm and the 1.6 Diesel makes 126 Bhp-260 Nm. Both engines are offered with 6 speed manual and automatic transmission options.

In future, Hyundai is also likely to add another lower priced variant of the Verna, but in diesel. The company already has a 1.4 liter diesel engine that it offers on the i20 Elite and the Creta. This engine used to be offered on the previous generation of the Verna as well.

The same engine – with 89 Bhp-220 Nm – is expected to be offered on the all-new Verna, again as a budget offering. With the addition of the new engines, Hyundai will be hoping that the Verna brings in good sales. In December, the Verna was outsold by both the Honda City and the Maruti Ciaz, a worrying prospect for the recently launched car.

Used Maruti Vitara Brezza: What you should know!

Used Maruti Vitara Brezza: What to look out for

The Maruti Suzuki Vitara Brezza was launched in 2016. Since then, it has been the undisputed leader of the sub-4-meter compact SUV segment. The Vitara Brezza offers a frugal yet sufficiently power diesel engine, decent ride quality, many features and a design that appeals to a wide age group of people. Moreover, owners of this compact SUV benefit from Maruti Suzuki’s affordable maintenance costs and a large dealership network. Apart from the recently launched AMT version, one can easily find all variants of this highly popular sub-4-meter compact SUV in the used car market. Those looking for a no-nonsense compact SUV that isn’t too expensive to buy or maintain can easily pick up a used Maruti Suzuki Vitara Brezza.

The Maruti Suzuki Vitara Brezza is a largely trouble-free car, which is a major reason for its popularity. One just can’t go wrong with this compact SUV. Most of the users haven’t reported any serious issues. However, just like any other car in this world, there are some niggles that can affect the ownership experience. Here are some things to look out for.

Cracked plastic

Many owners of the Vitara Brezza have found the plastic quality to be really average. Some have even reported that the plastic loses its sheen with time and even developes small cracks. Hence, it’s advisable to give the interior plastic panels a good look.

Check fog lamps

The ZDI and the ZDI+ variants of the Vitara Brezza come fitted with fog lamps. These fog lamps are known to develop cracks with age. Moreover, many owners have faced the issue of moisture forming inside the head lamp. Some owners have even got the fog lamps changed under warranty. Hence, make sure that the fog lamps of the Vitara Brezza you’re interested in buying don’t have these issues.

Lack of Power

The Maruti Suzuki Vitara Brezza is powered by the 90 PS variant of the Fiat-sourced 1.3-litre turbocharged diesel engine. However, the Brezza is a significantly heavier car than the Baleno, which means the 15 PS advantage it has over the Baleno and the Swift is pretty much nullified. Also, some users have reported power loss on steep inclines, which is mainly due to the turbo lag below 2000 RPM. While the Multijet motor offers an almost bulletproof reliability, the turbo-lag along with a relatively higher kerb weight prevents the Brezza from feeling too powerful. Hence, those looking for a powerful compact SUV should probably look at options like the Tata Nexon and the Ford EcoSport.

The top-end variant of the Vitara Brezza comes with the SmartPlay infotainment unit. Originally, this unit supported only Apple CarPlay. However, Maruti is said to have released an update that makes it compatible with Android Auto. Make sure that the SmartPlay infotainment unit of the Brezza you are about to buy is running on the updated OS.

Check documents

This one’s a rather generic point that you should consider while purchasing any used car. Make sure that all the paperwork is in order. Also, it’s a good idea to get a police verification done. Furthermore, the Brezza is a favourite of vehicle lifters. Hence, you need to make sure that you aren’t being sold a stolen vehicle. Make sure that the Registration Certificate, Insurance and Pollution Under Check Certificate are valid. Also, you can check the RC status of the vehicle you are about to buy on Finally, check the purchase invoice and the service booklet for any sort of anomalies.

Lawsuit Seeks Stronger Gun Rights For California Citizens

In theory, law-abiding Californians who undergo a criminal background check and pass a government training course can receive a permit from their local sheriff to carry a concealed firearm.

But in practice, many California counties flatly deny permits to residents who meet the requirements for a concealed carry permit -- a situation that a lawsuit filed in federal court in Sacramento on Tuesday hopes to remedy.

The lawsuit filed by the Second Amendment Foundation and the Calguns Foundation says the routine denials of concealed carry permits violate the right to bear arms protected by the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.

One of the plaintiffs is Deanna Sykes, a lesbian and a firearms instructor who says she believes her sexual orientation and small stature make her a target for criminals. Another is Andrew Witham, a private investigator and campus public safety officer, whose local sheriff denied his request to carry a handgun while away from work.

The case "presents a very simple legal issue: people have the right to bear arms," Alan Gura, a Virginia attorney representing the plaintiffs, told on Wednesday. "The state is able to regulate that right, but it cannot arbitrarily deny the right to bear arms based on the whims of local officials. The current law has absolutely no standards to it, and some local officials regrettably abuse their discretion. They decide self-defense is not a valid reason to deny the gun carry permit."

Section 12050 of California law says that "the sheriff of a county, upon proof that the person applying is of good moral character" may issue a concealed carry permit. Californians who carry a concealed weapon without a license are subject to criminal penalties including fines and a one-year jail term. (Nearly every state has some form of concealed carry laws, with 36 states saying that sheriffs must issue them by default, and two states -- Alaska and Vermont -- require no advance permission.)

What the pro-gun rights groups that filed this lawsuit hope to do is apply the U.S. Supreme Court's reasoning in the landmark D.C. v. Heller case decided last year. Even though Heller focused on the firearm restrictions of the nation's capital, by recognizing a constitutional right protecting individual possession of firearms, the justices expressed a dim view of sweeping prohibitions on Americans' Second Amendment rights.

Gura said that he knew of no case filed since the Supreme Court's decision that has led to a definitive ruling about how Heller applies to concealed carry permits.

A map prepared by the site shows that the more liberal counties around San Francisco and Los Angeles tend to be the ones that deny permits to regular citizens. A 2007 report from the state of California shows that the county of San Francisco, for instance, issued only six permits that year -- while the rural, wooded, and far less populous county of Shasta issued 2,306 permits.

A bill titled AB 357 introduced in the California legislature in February would remove some discretion from local officials if the applicant for a permit qualified for one. (The city of Davis, for instance, tells applicants: "An evaluation and comparison of our current services to available resources has forced us to discontinue processing and issuing CCW [Carry Concealed Weapon] licenses. I apologize for the inconvenience this action will cause you.")

Last month, the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that the Fourteenth Amendment -- which required states to offer freedoms found in the Bill of Rights such as a jury trial -- protects an individual right to keep and bear arms. That decision is important because it means extreme state laws violate the Second Amendment as much as extreme federal laws would, and it is binding on the Sacramento court where the lawsuit was filed this week.

Representatives of the defendants in this case, Sacramento county and Yolo county, did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Wednesday.

  3. Lyse cells by adding 1X SDS sample buffer (100 µl per well of 6-well plate or 500 µl for a 10 cm diameter plate). Immediately scrape the cells off the plate and transfer the extract to a microcentrifuge tube. Keep on ice.
  4. Sonicate for 10–15 sec to complete cell lysis and shear DNA (to reduce sample viscosity).
  5. Heat a 20 µl sample to 95–100°C for 5 min; cool on ice.
  6. Microcentrifuge for 5 min.
  7. Load 20 µl onto SDS-PAGE gel (10 cm x 10 cm).

    NOTE: Loading of prestained molecular weight markers (#13953, 10 µl/lane) to verify electrotransfer and biotinylated protein ladder (#7727, 10 µl/lane) to determine molecular weights are recommended.

  8. Electrotransfer to nitrocellulose membrane (#12369).

C. Membrane Blocking and Antibody Incubations

NOTE: Volumes are for 10 cm x 10 cm (100 cm2) of membrane; for different sized membranes, adjust volumes accordingly.

I. Membrane Blocking

  1. (Optional) After transfer, wash nitrocellulose membrane with 25 ml TBS for 5 min at room temperature.
  2. Incubate membrane in 25 ml of blocking buffer for 1 hr at room temperature.
  3. Wash three times for 5 min each with 15 ml of TBST.

II. Primary Antibody Incubation

  1. Incubate membrane and primary antibody (at the appropriate dilution as recommended in the product datasheet) in 10 ml primary antibody dilution buffer with gentle agitation overnight at 4°C.
  2. Wash three times for 5 min each with 15 ml of TBST.
  3. Incubate membrane with Streptavidin-HRP (#3999 at the appropriate dilution) in 10 ml of blocking buffer with gentle agitation for 1 hr at room temperature.
  4. Wash three times for 5 min each with 15 ml of TBST.
  5. Proceed with detection (Section D).

Do not add Anti-biotin, HRP-linked Antibody for detection of biotinylated protein markers. There is no need. The Streptavidin-HRP will also visualize the biotinylated markers.

D. Detection of Proteins

Directions for Use:

  1. Wash membrane-bound HRP (antibody conjugate) three times for 5 minutes in TBST.
  2. Prepare 1X SignalFire™ ECL Reagent (#6883) by diluting one part 2X Reagent A and one part 2X Reagent B (e.g. for 10 ml, add 5 ml Reagent A and 5 ml Reagent B). Mix well.
  3. Incubate substrate with membrane for 1 minute, remove excess solution (membrane remains wet), wrap in plastic and expose to X-ray film.

* Avoid repeated exposure to skin.

Western Blot Reprobing Protocol

Reprobing of an existing membrane is a convenient means to immunoblot for multiple proteins independently when only a limited amount of sample is available. It should be noted that for the best possible results a fresh blot is always recommended. Reprobing can be a valuable method but with each reprobing of a blot there is potential for increased background signal. Additionally, it is recommended that you verify the removal of the first antibody complex prior to reprobing so that signal attributed to binding of the new antibody is not leftover signal from the first immunoblotting experiment. This can be done by re-exposing the blot to ECL reagents and making sure there is no signal prior to adding the next primary antibody.

A. Solutions and Reagents

NOTE: Prepare solutions with reverse osmosis deionized (RODI) or equivalently purified water.

  1. Wash Buffer: Tris Buffered Saline with Tween® 20 (TBST-10X) (#9997)
  2. Stripping Buffer: To prepare 100 ml, mix 6.25 ml of 1M Tris-HCl pH 6.8, 10 ml of 20% SDS and 700 μl β-mercaptoethanol. Bring to 100 ml with deionized H20. Make buffer fresh just prior to use.

B. Protocol

  1. After film exposure, wash membrane four times for 5 min each in TBST. Best results are obtained if the membrane is not allowed to dry.
  2. Incubate membrane for 30 min at 50°C in stripping buffer (with slight agitation).
  3. Wash membrane six times for 5 min each in TBST.
  4. (Optional) To assure that the original signal is removed, wash membrane twice for 5 min each with 10 ml of TBST. Incubate membrane with LumiGLO® with gentle agitation for 1 min at room temperature. Drain membrane of excess developing solution. Do not let dry. Wrap in plastic wrap and expose to x-ray film.
  5. Wash membrane again four times for 5 min each in TBST.
  6. The membrane is now ready to reuse. Start detection at the "Membrane Blocking and Antibody Incubations" step in the Western Immunoblotting Protocol.

Sox9 (D8G9H) Rabbit mAb (Biotinylated) recognizes endogenous levels of total Sox9 protein.

Species Reactivity:

Species predicted to react based on 100% sequence homology:

Mouse, Rat

Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues near the amino terminus of human Sox9 protein.

This Cell Signaling Technology antibody is conjugated to biotin under optimal conditions. The biotinylated antibody is expected to exhibit the same species cross-reactivity as the unconjugated Sox9 (D8G9H) Rabbit mAb #82630.

Sox9 is a transcription factor with an HMG-box DNA binding domain that has homology to the HMG domain of the mammalian testis-determining factor, SRY (1). Sox9 regulates several important processes during embryonic development including chondrogenesis, during which it contributes to skeletal formation and digit specification (2,3). Sox9 also coordinates with steroidogenic factor-1 to direct Sertoli cell-specific expression of anti-Mullerian hormone during embryogenesis, thereby contributing to male sex determination (4). In addition, Sox9 is reportedly involved in the maintenance of adult stem cell populations, including multipotent neural stem cells (5), hair follicle stem cells (6), and mammary stem cells (7). Recent interest has focused on the role of Sox9 in tumor biology. For example, research studies have shown that Sox9 expression in lung adenocarcinoma induces a mesenchymal phenotype in tumor cells (8). Other research studies have shown that YAP1 induced upregulation of Sox9 confers cancer stem cell like properties on esophageal cancer cells (9). Moreover, Sox9 expression has been linked with several other tumor types including ovarian, prostate, and pancreatic malignancies (10-12).

How to overcome steep obstacles in juvenile justice reporting

How to overcome steep obstacles in juvenile justice reporting

Blog body

A view from the inside of a youth lockup facility.
A view from the inside of a youth lockup facility.

It’s incredibly easy for the government to take away a child’s liberty, but it can be incredibly difficult to explain that process so that people will care.

That’s what I found while reporting and writing my fellowship project, supported by the Fund for Journalism on Child Well-Being and the National Health Journalism Fellowship.

The articles that I wrote for the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette focused on inequality in the Arkansas juvenile court system when it comes to the treatment of status offenders — children who haven’t committed adult crimes but have broken laws that only apply to those under 18.

These kids are truants, runaways and the “incorrigible.” Under state and federal laws, these children are supposed to be treated differently than youth who commit serious crimes.

But the stories explored how each year hundreds of these children end up in youth lockups for months along with children who have committed for more serious crimes — rapes, robberies and murders. We also found that these youth are treated differently based upon where they live. (You can read the stories here, and here.)

In reporting these stories, my editor and I came up against several obstacles that many reporters will find in juvenile justice systems across the U.S.

Juvenile court hearings in Arkansas are generally closed to the public. Court records are off limits. Youth lockups rarely allow interviews. Some even bar reporters from seeing the youth. And the information that the state does allow the public to know about these youth is limited and many times flawed.

We didn’t overcome all of these problems, but here are some of the insights we gleaned while reporting the stories.

It never hurts to ask. For the stories, I interviewed more than 40 people in the juvenile justice system. The majority of these people rarely talk publicly about their jobs. This is largely because they’re supposed to keep certain things secret to protect the future of the children they serve. But I’ve found that many people in the system understand that secrecy can hurt children and allow serious problems to go unaddressed. Over the months of reporting, the more I explained what I was doing, the more people were willing to talk and help. This was the key when it came to observing family court in northwest Arkansas. I asked and expected a “No.” Instead, the judge agreed. Our stories heavily relied on recounting the story of one girl’s experience during that day in family court. Getting to her story took months of asking judges and officials if I could observe hearings and review documents that are usually off-limits to the public. It paid off by giving readers a concrete — and heart-breaking — example.

Be there and stay as long as you can. The average person has an idea of what a youth jail looks like, but few have actually seen the inside. Steel bunks. Thin mattresses. Tiny windows. Doors that lock all the time. That’s where these children live. It’s important for reporters to document how the state treats youth. Details matter and the best way to get them is to be there and hang around as long as you can, or as the guards will allow.

Interview your data — and assume it’s lying. “Garbage-in, garbage-out” is the rule, not the exception, when it comes to juvenile justice data. The federal government is reliant on the states for much of its data, and the states are often reliant on a 20-year-old guard with a high-school education filling out a complex spreadsheet. Errors abound. This was especially true for the data on status offenders. We found that for 2013 the state had reported data to the federal government that grossly undercounted the number of kids detained because a large portion of lockups just didn’t turn in their reports. The data for 2014 was complete, but suspect. I ended up spending the better part of two months vetting the numbers with judges, lockups and court staff. We found this data had some serious flaws. As with any data story, we used some general rules of thumb during the reporting.

  1. Get the documents or forms that are the basis for the data. This will help you to understand the strengths and weaknesses of the data.
  2. Talk to the person who handles the data every day. This can save you a lot of time by getting your questions answered by the person who knows it best.
  3. Make a copy of the dataset and leave the original alone. Always work off this copy and keep an audit journal of what you do during your analysis so you can fact check it later.
  4. Once you analyze your data, vet it with other sources to confirm your findings or locate errors in the data. Look for other data or sources that can help explain your findings to your readers.
  5. Before you publish, do the entire analysis again, following the steps outlined in your audit journal. This will help you spot any errors. Oh, and do it a third time just to be extra sure.

Cut through the jargon and tell a story. Status offender. Juvenile detention center. Valid court order exception. To a juvenile justice expert, these are common terms. For a reader, these terms mean, “I should stop reading.” We did our best to avoid these terms when we could and to use words that actually mean something to readers instead — like child, jail and law. The more concrete the words, the better the story you tell.

Save Miitomo

0 have signed. Let’s get to 100!

Miitomo, Nintendo’s debut smartphone app, will soon go dark. On May 9 at 12 a.m. PT, Nintendo will terminate the Miitomo social network and all of its features, the company announced on the app’s website. Users can no longer buy in-game currency as of today, Jan. 24. Nintendo will continue to provide players with additional coins and game tickets so that they can use Miitomo’s various features until shutdown.

Once Miitomo is through, however, that’s it — users won’t be able to interact with any part of the app whatsoever. This is the full list, from Nintendo, of what will and will not work after May 9:

You will no longer be able to see your answers or messages in the app.You will no longer be able to use items you’ve obtained in the app, such as clothing items, wallpapers, or posters.You can transfer your Mii character to your Nintendo Account by linking it to Miitomo. (Its personality and other information will not be carried over.)Sidekick Mii characters will be deleted. You can keep Sidekick Mii characters by saving them as a QR Code before the end of service on May 9 at 12 a.m. PT. They can then be transferred to Mii Maker on the Nintendo 3DS family of systems or the Wii U console.You will not be able to view Miifotos, including Miifotos you have shared to your social media channels. If you want to save any Miifotos, you must save them to your smart device before May 9 at 12 a.m. PT.Miitomo- themed icons and clothing items used in your Nintendo Account or the Super Mario Run game will not display after the service has ended.

Nintendo launched Miitomo at the end of March 2016. The social network, which connects user-made Miis with their friends’ characters to participate in games, surveys and shopping, found early success, but interest petered off not long after release. Still, it set the stage for the rest of Nintendo’s mobile game collaborations with developer DeNA, including, most recently, Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp.

It is a highly concerning situation. Undoubtedly there is a growing number of students requiring developmental courses. I continually ask this question: 'Why do we allow academically underprepared students to graduate'? It is a recipe for failure.

Lisa Ransdell

Great report on the report, excellent conclusion at the end. I also really appreciate the comments of some others here. I agree with Brian that schools may be overselling the idea of college, which is ironic given that college was undersold to many in the past. Does every job in the U.S. really require a college degree? Is Bill Gates correct to call for 80% of high school grads to graduate from college by 2050? I think not, in both cases.

I believe that any student with genuine interest who can demonstrate readiness should have the chance to attend college. Let's get rid of tracking and deciding who is college material based on their background. Let's also promote and help support postsecondary education for all in a variety of forms: trade and technical schools, certificate programs, apprenticeships, college -- all of it.

Let's also improve the calibre of secondary education, so those who do aspire to attend college are truly ready when they get there. I am personally intrigued by much of what is suggested in the film Waiting For Superman, although I am not convinced that such an approach is feasible for the entire public school system -- although excellent teachers (and all it takes to cultivate them) is a bottom line.

Thanks for sharing this report. I blog about higher education from my perspective as a faculty member, former administrator, and current day independent college planner: www.pinnaclecollegeplanning.com. Much of my stuff is targeted to clients and prospective clients, but I occasionally touch on policy issues. Appreciating your blog!

Mervelle Sage

Interesting article. Remedial classes certainly seem to be the trend in higher education today. This should not be though. High school students in thier senior year should be exposed to college writing, reading , and math. Courses should be available to adequately prepare them for college. Now many high schools already offer such courses, but are all students taking advantage of them? Are the guidance counselors showing all the available options afforded to their students and making them aware of what to expect?

Krista R

Your final comment "we have to stop trying to fit the student into the existing box and start trying to remake the box to fit the student" is exactly what higher education should attempt to do. Shaping our future learning environment to the student will help attainment and graduation greatly. With the raising costs of degrees, now more than ever, students are looking more critically at where they are going to invest their money.

Deborah C

This is an interesting article. Several of the headings caught my attention. For instance:
“Remedial classes have become the Bermuda Triangle of higher education. Most students are lost, and few will ever be seen on graduation day” and “Students are wasting time on excess credits” caught my interest. Looking at the slide 12 in Complete College America I agree the credits cited for the Certificate, Associate and Bachelor’s Degree programs (68.5 and 85.5, 136.5 credits respectively) are really high. Are the extra credits general education courses?

I also agree that students should be underprepared college students should be introduced to 100 level college courses from the first day to start them earning credits. I think however that students can still take the college prep math and English concurrently. A solid academic advisement program should be provided and efforts should be made to have students feel engaged with faculty and affiliated with the academic institution from the first day.

I may have missed it in the presentation, but do you think that creating a learning community where all faculty members who teach underprepared college students are able to communicate on the students’ progress helps? Was this found to be one of the factors for success by the states in this research study? The number of college underprepared students is way too high and we need to really find a way to not have our students disappear in an abyss.

Colleges in Dubai

I think today educational system learn the education from new way,Here you share a great post.Keep it up these interesting blogs.

Brian, act sat test prep guy

In my opinion, many high schools promote college as a must-do option for all students. There are great opportunities for many students in manual trades, along with the fact that they don't have to accumulate a huge amount of student loan debt.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Story Bible A beautiful Bible storybook geared to children ages 5 to 8, told in a way that they would understand. What makes this book extra special is that children do all of the art, and there are 100 different stories, with the children participating from 50 different countries. I love that each of the illustrations give the first name of the drawer, and the country they are from, and ages between 8 and 12. There is a map in the back that both shows and lists the countries that the children come from. Then there is a people and places index to easily find the story that you want to read. I received this book through Worthy Kids/Ideals Museum of the Bible, and was not required to give a positive review

Best Happy Hour Plates

Lana Restaurant

Staff Pick

Charleston is flush with happy hour specials, and let's be honest, cheap drinks are never a bad thing. But for us, what makes a good happy hour a great is the combo of drinks and food. It's far too easy to throw back one too many $5 house cocktails or $4 glasses of wine on an empty stomach. Give us some sustenance while we sip away our weekday blues or chat about life decisions. And while nachos are grande, we sometimes like to class it up, like with cheese plates, olives, grilled veggies, and potato croquettes. Lana does that, and they offer good wine deals and cheap house liquor. What more could anyone want?

Now Destiny has “Loot Stairs,” Too

October 8, 2014 by Samantha Lienhard - Leave a comment

Remember Destiny’s loot caves? Well, now you’ve got another option: loot stairs! Operating on the same principle as the loot caves, a set of stairs in the Cosmodrone on Earth has enemies that will infinitely respawn as long as you stay far enough back until you’re ready to collect your rewards. It’s a great way to build up Legendary engrams and other great loot.

Youtube user MinistryOfGeeks has uploaded a useful video explaining how to find the loot stairs. The one negative point, as he demonstrates in his video, is that every 7-10 minutes, a ship spawns above the area and releases new enemies outside the building, which prevents the enemies from spawning on the stairs. You’ll need to get rid of these enemies in order to continue using the loot stairs.

Check out the video for the full details.

So, will you be making use of Destiny’s loot stairs?

Toyota Led Industry for Recalls in 2013, But Is There a Silver Lining?

Toyota U S A Headquarters exteriors, Torrance, Ca.

There are certainly benefits to being the world’s largest automaker by volume, though as Toyota (NYSE:TM) is finding out, there are also drawbacks. When you’re making the most units of something, everything is big — big materials, big manufacturing, big supply networks, and when things go bad, big recalls.

Toyota was slapped with the dubious honor of leading the industry in recalls in 2013, having pulled back some 5 million units during the 12-month period. It wasn’t just Toyota, though — a government report from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration indicates that automakers initiated more recalls than ever before in 2013, and Toyota happened to be leading the pack, Automotive News reports.

All told, 632 recall campaigns were executed in the United States in 2013, cumulatively covering 22 million vehicles, the report said. That’s a rather significant increase from 2012, when the collective industry launched 581 vehicle recalls covering 16.4 million vehicles.

It should be pointed out that motorcycles, heavy trucks, and buses were also covered in that figure, though light-duty passenger vehicles likely make up the bulk of the affected units. The largest 18 auto manufacturers were responsible for 184 recalls in the U.S. during the year, covering the vast majority of vehicles, at about 19.6 million.

It was Toyota’s second consecutive time surpassing the 5 million unit threshold, though the NHTSA warns that the numbers from a specific manufacturer don’t necessarily hold a lot of weight.

“These tallies are not used to evaluate manufacturers or to evaluate which recalls the agency may need to investigate or monitor,” the agency said in its report. “There are a host of reasons why a manufacturer could have more or fewer recalls in a given year.”

The NHTSA contends that while it appears Toyota’s quality is slipping due to the higher number of recalled units, it might actually be at least a partially preventative measure to ensure that the company doesn’t encounter a situation like it did with the unintended acceleration problems, which forced a recall of more than 11 million Toyota and Lexus vehicles globally.

Around the industry, Honda recalled 2.8 million vehicles, Hyundai-Kia had 2.2 million, and Ford called back 1.2 million. General Motors, though it issued 23 recalls during the year (second only to Chrysler in terms of number of recalls launched), cumulatively covered just 757,677 vehicles.

Quentin Tarantino’s ‘Star Trek’ Movie May Be Inspired by 1 Classic Episode

Quentin Tarantino is making a Star Trek movie. That’s a sentence fans of the franchise never thought they would read, as the Tarantino brand doesn’t exactly seem like it would fit with Star Trek.

But Tarantino himself loves Star Trek. In fact, he has gone on record as saying that there’s one episode of the show that he would love to turn into a two-hour film, and looking at that episode gives us a good idea of what he’s got cooking. Here’s the Star Trek episode that Tarantino will likely draw inspiration from for his new movie, assuming it ends up getting made.

Tarantino pitched the idea for this new Star Trek movie

If this Tarantino Star Trek movie happens, he wouldn’t be writing the screenplay; he’d just be directing. However, that doesn’t mean he’s not involved in the story at all.

According to Deadline, Tarantino came up with the idea for the new movie, and he pitched it to J.J. Abrams and Paramount Pictures. They liked his concept so much that they immediately began assembling a writer’s room to put together a screenplay.

So the movie might not be as chock-full of Tarantino-isms as you’d expect, considering it would be the first film he directs without also writing. Still, the thrust of the movie comes from his brain. The film is also rumored to have an R-rating, although Simon Pegg has suggested this may not be the case.

Next: He revealed he’s thought about making a Star Trek movie before.

He previously admitted he’s thought about making a Star Trek movie

William Shatner in Star Trek

Just over two years ago, Tarantino was interviewed on the Nerdist podcast, and a listener asked him whether he’d ever want to direct a Star Wars movie. Star Wars came up because the interview took place right before The Force Awakens was released.

Tarantino said he likes Star Wars but that if he were to ever make a movie like this, he’d prefer it be Star Trek. “I’m definitely a fan of the original series — in particular, a fan of William Shatner,” he said. “That’s my key into this series is William Shatner.”

At the time, Tarantino also said that he had actually thought about doing a Star Trek movie before and even mulled over an idea for it.

Next: The one episode everyone would think of to remake.

He suggested some classic episodes could be adapted into a movie

Kirk and Spock in "The City On The Edge Of Forever"

Kirk and Spock in “The City On The Edge Of Forever” | CBS

During that same podcast interview, Tarantino went on to say that some of the classic episodes of the show are so good, they deserve a feature film treatment.

“Some of those episodes are fantastic, and the only thing that limited them was their ’60s budget and eight-day shooting schedule,” he said. “You could take some of the great, classic Star Trek episodes, and easily expand them to 90 minutes or more and really do some amazing, amazing stuff.”

Tarantino then said that the one episode everyone would think of to remake would be “The City on the Edge of Forever.” That’s the episode of the original series where McCoy travels back in time to 1930s New York and accidentally alters the present. “It’s one of the classic stories of all time, and one of the great time travel stories,” Tarantino said.

However, that’s not the episode that Tarantino focused on. There’s one from The Next Generation that sounds like it truly inspired his movie idea.

Next: This episode deserves a two-hour film treatment.

He said ‘Yesterday’s Enterprise’ deserves a two-hour film treatment

The crew in "Yesterday's Enterprise"

The crew in “Yesterday’s Enterprise” | CBS

Tarantino named one particular episode as being one of the best ever written: “Yesterday’s Enterprise,” from The Next Generation Season 3. In that episode, the USS Enterprise-C travels through time and inadvertently alters history. As a result, a war between the Klingons and the United Federation of Planets is now underway.

We find out that the Enterprise-C originally went down protecting Klingons. Because of this, the Klingons never went to war with the United Federation of Planets. But when a rift in spacetime brings the Enterprise-C ahead and prevents that from happening, the war takes place. So the only way to prevent the war is to send the Enterprise-C crew back in time to their demise.

“I actually think that is one of the great … not only space stories, but the way it dealt with the mythology of the whole thing — that actually could bear a two-hour treatment,” Tarantino said.

Next: Will a character in the movie try to fix the present timeline?

His movie may involve a character making a difficult decision to fix the present timeline

Spock and Kirk in Star Trek (2009)

The podcast appearance ended before Tarantino had a chance to explain what his take on “Yesterday’s Enterprise” would be. Presumably, his movie wouldn’t just be a direct remake of that episode. But it sounds like that’s the episode he would draw the most inspiration from.

It’s worth noting that Tarantino only mentioned two episodes: “The City on the Edge of Forever” and “Yesterday’s Enterprise.” He didn’t end up explaining why he used those as examples when asked what he wanted his Star Trek movie to be. But they both involve characters making a difficult decision after the timeline is messed up.

In “The City on the Edge of Forever,” the reason history changes is because McCoy saves a woman named Edith Keeler, and her survival causes a sequence of events that leads the Nazis to win World War II. So Spock and Kirk must allow her to die in order to save millions. With “Yesterday’s Enterprise,” all those aboard the Enterprise-C must be allowed to die in order to prevent a war.

It seems like no coincidence that Tarantino pulled out two episodes that deal with this very specific theme. So his movie idea at the time of the podcast appearance, it seems, probably had something to do with time travel and making a difficult decision in order to make the timeline right again.

Next: Rumors about what the next Star Trek movie already involved.

The next Star Trek movie reportedly already involved time travel

Chris Pine in Star Trek Beyond

Interestingly, before Tarantino came on board, the new Star Trek movie was already going to be about time travel. Variety reported back in 2016 that the fourth film in the new series would co-star Chris Pine and Chris Hemsworth.

Hemsworth played James Kirk’s father, who died in the opening scene of the 2009 Star Trek. So the only way he would be returning to star opposite Pine would be via time travel. Paramount announced in 2016 that in the new movie, “Pine’s Captain Kirk will cross paths with a man he never had a chance to meet, but whose legacy has haunted him since the day he was born: his father.”

One great theory about the new film’s plot was posited by Birth.Movies.Death. The idea is that the film will basically be “Yesterday’s Enterprise,” but with a twist: The ship that comes forward in time is actually the ship that James Kirk’s father is on when he dies at the beginning of 2009’s Star Trek.

However, it now appears that the Tarantino Star Trek movie and the actual Star Trek sequel with Chris Pine will be separate films, so that may not be the case.

Next: Why not everyone loves the idea of Tarantino doing Star Trek.

A lot of Star Trek fans hate the idea of Tarantino making the new movie

Quentin Tarantino in Django Unchained

Quentin Tarantino in Django Unchained | A Band Apart

Not everyone is on board with the idea of Tarantino making a Star Trek movie, though.

A choice that’s especially controversial is the idea of potentially making the movie R-rated. Many fans don’t like the idea of taking a property that has always been something that people of all ages can enjoy — and which is about themes younger viewers should be exposed to — and turning it into something that no one under the age of 17 can go and see. Presumably, the only reason it would get an R rating is that it has hardcore violence, language, or sexuality, which isn’t something Star Trek really needs.

Plus, Tarantino is someone with a very distinct style. Would he be able to tone that down and produce something that feels like classic Star Trek? Or would this just feel like Tarantino riffing on the genre and almost making fun of it?

Next: Another reason Tarantino is a controversial choice.

Tarantino got into some hot water earlier this year

There’s another reason Tarantino is a controversial pick. Back in October 2017, when the accusations against Harvey Weinstein came to light, he was criticized for admitting to knowing certain things about Weinstein’s behavior and continuing to work with him. More recently, in February 2018, Uma Thurman went into detail in an interview with The New York Times about how Tarantino made her do her own driving in a sequence for Kill Bill; she felt this would be unsafe, and as she feared, the car crashed, and she was seriously injured. Tarantino has since apologized.

Then, days after the Thurman fiasco, audio resurfaced of Tarantino defending Roman Polanski, a convicted rapist. On The Howard Stern Show in 2003, Tarantino spent eight full minutes defending Polanski, saying that statutory rape isn’t really rape and that the 13-year-old girl “wanted to have it.”

For now, Tarantino is working on his own original movie, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. It remains to be seen whether this Star Trek project will ever actually get off the ground.
