The mesmerizing memories of the vintage SUVs serve us with the delight of sheer power and unbreakable performance. Especially the SUVs built for the military purposes were more like the turret-less tanks. But the business competition and the technology has improvised the life of SUVs.
In the 80’s some leading SUVs were developed. They had unique body structure and had powerful drivetrains. But with time, that lost their girth and stood among the weak mules. One such lady is the Land Rover Discovery.
It was 1989 when the Discovery was introduced. She was one of the best British manufactured SUV of her time. But the fate of Land Rover Range Rover and the Jaguar let the fortune of this SUV into shambles.
Well, the first generation was divided into two series. The first one ended up in 1998 while the second one finalized in 2004. In 2004 the Discovery entered its second generation which was even divided into two segments. First one being the Discovery 3 and the second one being the discovery 4. Here in North America, they were recognized as LR3 and LR4. Precisely, the fifth generation was supposed to be the LR5. But Land Rover eliminated all these figures in 2016. Now it is just famous for All-New Discovery.
During the 2016 Paris Auto Show, the fifth generation Discovery was displayed as the model for the year 2017. Since then the fifth generation is in play. Well, the North American market gets three models of the Discovery. The Discovery S is the base model with the price of $52,090. The HSE is the mid-level and the HSE Luxury is the final trim. And if you move away from North America you may get 4 models for the Discovery.
|2.0 – 5.0 L
|8 – speed automatic
|237 – 518 hp
|295 – 460 lb – ft
|0 – 62 MPH
|16 city/ 21 highway
There are 5 different powertrain options available for the Land Rover Discovery. But their performance schedule is quite lethargic.
The base version gets the 2.0 L Ingenium 4-cylinder gasoline engine. Well, it has nothing to do with the North American market. But in rest of the world, it is the beginner powertrain. This powertrain gets 296 horses with 295 lb-ft of torque. The diesel drivetrain comes next. It is the same caliber engine but with a twin-turbo shot. It makes 237 hp of power with 369 lb-ft of torque. Thanks to the twin-turbo for making it run faster. Otherwise, the Discovery would have been a heritage.
The 3.0 Supercharged V6 Petrol engine is the base version for the North American market. This powertrain is capable of making good 340 horses at 332 lb-ft of torque. Well, if the gasoline engine could be supercharged, then why not the diesel one. The 3.0 diesel is the turbocharged V6 engine with 254 horses galloping at 443 lb-ft of torque. Once again, thanks to the super and turbochargers that have balanced the performance of this car. Otherwise, as said, the discovery was more like a lethargic mule.
The only performance trim available in the Discovery series is the SVX. It gets the 5.0 Supercharged V8 engine with way more horses and torque. And that is what makes it rank among the sporty SUVs.
Well, all of these powertrains are mated with the 8-speed automatic transmission. In addition to the performance, the handling of Discovery is even at par. It stops well, turns well and even drifts fine. But it does not have agility and quickness.
She seems more like a burden laid off by Land Rover!

The Land Rover Discovery has a pretty decent appearance. It does not seem aggressive like the common SUVs. Instead, it has pretty unorthodox looks. The front fascia gives a grump look like an old cat sitting angrily. Though the headlamps have the LEDs she still seems like she is not happy. Well, the bumper vents are quite useful when you have equipped the V6 machine. But for the static inline-4, such big vents are just questionable.
The base version gets the 19-inch alloy wheels. While the upper trims enjoy the 20-inch wheels. Well, the rear gives the whole old stubborn appearance. It looks pretty huge and annoying. Further, the Discovery is not really aware of the aerodynamics. It just gets a pinch of this science. That is why the performance does not even get much support.

The total attraction for this SUV is based on its interior. It gets the exclusive premium leather for the seats and the accent trims. Along with that, the door panels get the acoustic wood. Further, you get two sunroofs for an enjoyable ride.
The interior setting is quite gentle. Everything is appointed at its right place. On top of that, the Land Rover Discovery is quite roomy. It has space for 7 people including the driver. And every one of them could sit comfortably.
With all the 7 seats up, you get 9 cubic feet of space for the cargo. If you fold down one seat, the cargo space increases by 15 cubic feet. Another seat down adds in 18 cubic feet of more space. If you go with 4 seats you get 52 cubes. Well, if you decide to have just one rear seat up then you get 68 cubes. Finally, with all the rear seats down you can carry up to 77 cubic feet of cargo. Indeed, here Discovery becomes a van.
Well, if the Discovery would have got a decent performance and handsome exterior design, then it would have been a fantastic SUV. But that is her fate, what can we do.
The Discovery comes with the 10-inch touchscreen infotainment system. It is a custom built system with a number of its personal features. Like it has navigation, smartphone connectivity, multimedia and charging support.
Further, you get the 12.3-inch driver’s cluster display with customizable options. It displays the driving information, the song being played, telephony and navigation.
Two 8-inch optional screens are available for the rear seat passengers. These are installed behind the headrest of front seats. Well, it offers nothing else than entertainment. In addition to that, the Land Rover Discovery is made audible with the Meridian 10-speaker sound system. And the Surround Sound support is optionally available.
The Land Rover Discovery has sufficient amount of passive safety equipment installed in it. While the active safety features include stability control, cruise control, anti-lock braking system and the traction control. Besides, the structure of the Discovery is quite strong. Naturally, it reduces the impact of the collision.
Away from all the tech and specs, the safety is purely dependent on the driver. You drive safe, you stay safe. You drive unsafe, you will hit.

The BMW X6 is as powerful as the Discovery. But it is more attractive and has a comfortable interior design. Basically, it has more features than the Discovery.
Well, the Land Rover Discovery is a good option if you have to choose a car for a jungle adventure. But if you need something to enhance your daily riding quality, then you would have to choose something different.

What is poulard? Twice now I have been offered it on Lufthansa and when I said I would have chicken, in was told, no, it is poulard. I asked if it was turkey and was told kind of. So if you know what poulard is, please tell me. To be honest, it was like a dry chicken breast. Oh the joys of mystery meat coupled with airline food.
Overall, Lufthansa isn't bad to fly with. They have really good blankets and pillows - probably the best I have ha so far. I mean who has feather pillows? And I am not talking about upfront either, I am talking back in economy - yes we have feather pillows and yes I do fly economy. :-). Their lounge in Lagos leaves a little to be desired. It is 3 floors with the 3rd floor being an enclosed smoking room, however the smoke still managed to waft down to the main - ick! It was still a much better place to hang out rather than in the terminal since I had 3 1/2 hours to wait from when i arrived at the airport. Then when I was walking to my gate, I went past the BA lounge and it looked pretty posh - Lufthansa definitely has the ghetto lounge! They have also cheaped out on their E90 - no seat back TVs - what gives?!
So my flight was leaving at 9:50pm and I left a good 7 hours before - crazy I know, considering i am the girl who likes to show up just as the plane is boarding! Not here i didn't! However in Lagos you never know what traffic is going to be like and today it took us about 3 hours to get there. Traffic was a little crazy but I guess it can be worse. Then when you get to the airport it is like a quasi-organized chaos. First you get your bag weighed, then you get your passport and ticket checked and once you have done that you go up to the counter, all whilst moving in and amongst a maze of people and different boxed off lanes. You don't decide where to go yourself, someone tells you and there are people everywhere.
At the boarding gate you go through another round of security. I am telling you that the security here is more stringent than at Heathrow or anywhere in the US. After another round of ticket and passport checks, they search your carry- on again and then you get a full pat down and when I say full, I mean full! She patted down the girls and lady bits! Only felt slightly violated. :-). Nope, can't say that in was hiding anything there.
Our flight was almost an hour delayed leaving Lagos - something to do with luggage. Fortunately I have my iPad and was able to keep on watching the last season of the Deadliest Catch, which I had started earlier in the evening in the lounge. I really don't know how people travel without one. I managed to get about 21/2 hours of not good sleep on my flight to Frankfurt and we only landed 15 minutes late, which was good considering. I then caught a 6:45am flight into London City Centre which I much prefer to the he'll that they call Heathrow, although the immigration lady sure was not chipper at 730 in the morning and had a lot of questions. Remember lady, I am from one of your former colonies, we have the same queen!
I have a wedding up in Newcastle on the week, the whole reason behind the trip and the plan was to take the train from London around mid-day with my friends Susan and Judy. Luckily for me, Susan was staying with her husbands aunt so I took the tube up to there - I am very good with the tube ;-) and was able to take a shower and feel like a human again after my over night flight and before we hoped on the train. Overall a fairly uneventful trip up north. The wedding is tomorrow and we head back for London on Sunday and back to Calgary on Monday where this adventure will end.
I still have some more tom post on Nigeria which I hope to get around to by the end of the weekend. Hope everyone has a great labour day weekend!

Why People Leave the Evangelical Tribe
(An excerpt from my unpublished memoir ““Beliefs that Hurt — Faith that Heals”)
Everywhere I look the Evangelical church leaves folks wounded and bleeding along the road of faith.
We all have the scars to prove it.
Some are head wounds.
Maybe like me you grew up in a cultural bubble where you were spoon-fed certain doctrines. But now those stories are difficult to swallow. You gag on Bible narratives like water being turned into wine that defy the laws of physics. It’s a stretch to think that vintage wine comes from the backyard faucet. But still because of your abiding respect for the sacred scriptures you delve between the lines for deeper levels of meaning.
Others leave with a broken heart.
Your family no longer talks to you because you left the fold. Or your terminally ill loved one is told that he is not healed because of his lack of faith. Or you have come out as gay and are now viewed as reprobate. Or like myself the words of the song “you know we are Christians by our love” seem far-fetched. Love evaporated into thin air when I questioned Tribal (Evangelical Christianity) beliefs. And pile on a heart-breaking divorce that led to my being stiff-armed by my church group.
People don’t leave their religious community in a snap.
Bruce the church bouncer did not evict me from my fellowship group. Instead, I slunk out of the back door with my tail between my legs. My reasons for leaving may not be yours. However there is more to a dash to the exit than meets the eye.
Sometimes a vision of what is on the other side of the exit beckons us to a new life. My “aha” experience started when I finally left my Evangelical church in the 1980’s, migrated to a Progressive Episcopal Church in Pasadena California and heard the words of welcome to the Eucharist that would make anyone stay in a church community
“Whoever you are and wherever you find yourself on the journey of faith, you are welcome here.”
I am gobsmacked when it dawns on me that this community of faith embraces black and white, gay and straight, and a person like myself who is attempting to shake of the vestiges of my Evangelical beliefs. Since childhood I had been taught that the Communion ceremony is restricted to the chosen few who had “given their lives to Jesus”. Surely other religions make it through the Pearly Gates?
In my South African Tribal background if you were discovered to be gay or divorced, or a person of color, you’d likely be met with raised eyebrows. If divorced, your chances of acceptance improved if your spouse had left you (especially for adultery) rather than the other way around. And if you were a person of color and you drifted into that group, someone would quietly encourage you to attend the church’s afternoon service in the local African language, Zulu. And if you were gay the Tribe’s political talking point would be that you are living in sin and needed “conversion” therapy.
By contrast, All Saints teaches that everyone had a tiny flame of universal reality in them. That makes everyone welcome at this family table. I always suspected that we ‘born again’ folks did not have a corner on the market of truth. Why then exclude anyone from the Eucharist? Such was the open heart of that community despite the fact that we were a rag-tag bunch of seekers with many more questions than answers.
I have not darkened the doorstep of a church in over 30 years. However, I left the church long before the Tribe became aligned with Right Wing Politics, conspiracy theories, and, as a minority, attempted to legislate against the ‘other’ side’.
That’s another story.
But why did you leave the Tribe?

2002-7 Independence Standards
October 7, 2002
TO: CPAs, City, Villages, Townships and Counties
FROM: Richard L. Baldermann, CPA, CGFM
Administrator, Local Audit and Finance Division
Subject: New GAO Independence Standards versus AICPA Independence Standards
The required audit standards that must be followed to satisfy the requirements of Act 2 PA 1968, as amended, are stated in section 7 of the act.
The required audit standards that must be followed to satisfy the requirements of audits of Federal financial assistance are contained in Government Auditing Standards (Yellow Book) issued by the United States General Accounting Office (GAO). The independence standards in the Yellow Book are currently more restrictive than the AICPA independence standards, particularly as they relate to the provision of audit and non-audit services.
A local CPA in a rural area (or any other area) of Michigan provides bookkeeping as well as audit services for nearby township, city or village governments.
- If the local government does NOT receive federal financial assistance or receives less than the threshold amount requiring a single audit, the CPA may follow the AICPA audit standards and may continue to provide both services. The audit will satisfy the requirements of Act 2 PA 1968, as amended.
- If the local government receives more than the threshold amount requiring a single audit, the CPA must comply with GAO’s Government Audit Standards. Under the new independence rules, the CPA could no longer provide non audit services as defined by GAO. The CPA and/or local government will have to make a choice as to which of these services the CPA will continue to provide. The remaining services will need to be provided by another CPA firm (audit services) or other vendor (non-audit services).

Vascular dementia is described as decline in thinking skills caused by conditions that block or reduce blood flow to the brain, depriving brain cells of vital nutrients and oxygen.
Globally, dementia drugs market is expected to expand at a CAGR of 8.4% during the forecasted period (2018 –2026), due to the introduction of innovative drugs with higher efficacy toward dementia patients and increasing government initiatives to provide better palliative care to patients. Worldwide results reveal that 44 million people suffered with vascular dementia during 2010 and estimated to double every 20 years, to the number 65.7 million in 2030 and 115.4 million in 2050. In 2010, 58% of all people with low or middle incomes were with dementia lived in countries. This proportion expected to increase to 63% in 2030 and 71 per cent in 2050.The proportion are expected to double by 2030 and triple by 2050 to 115 million. Alzheimer’s disease lead to 60-70 % of cases in dementia and second most common condition of dementia is vascular dementia which contributes 20% of cases all over the world.

New methods reported recently by researchers from the Commerce Department's National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), the IBM T.J. Watson Research Center and the University of Texas at Austin will aid the semiconductor industry's urgent search for new photosensitive materials needed to print integrated-circuit patterns with features smaller than a hundred nanometers.
Using X-ray and neutron probes, the team directly measured the spatial location of the complex chemical processes used to sculpt the transistors, lines, trenches and other minuscule components of the silicon-chip landscape. The almost-molecular level view of a model system afforded by their methods enabled the researchers to directly link the reaction front along chemically amplified photoresists to the profile and composition of the final developed, or "printed," structure.
Writing in the July 19, 2002, issue of Science, the researchers point out that, in 2003, the semiconductor industry aims to produce chips with feature sizes, or "critical dimensions," that are smaller than 100 nanometers (billionths of a meter), as compared with 130 nanometers today. Reaching that target -- and continuing the industry's decades-long run of doubling the number of devices on a chip about every 18 months (known as "Moore's Law") -- leaves almost no room for error.
"The critical dimensions must be controlled," the team notes in the paper, "to within 2 to 5 nanometers which is comparable to the characteristic size of the (individual) polymeric molecules in the photoresists used to pattern the features."
Chemically amplified photoresists, in fact, were a key innovation in a string of photolithography advances over the years. These innovations have perpetuated the industry's use of light and stencil-like masks to print chip patterns, even as feature sizes have shrunk to less than the shortest wavelength of visible light.
Photoresists are light-sensitive polymer films that coat the silicon wafers used to make chips. Parts of the film exposed to light beamed through the patterned mask become soluble and can be washed away. During further processing, exposed areas are adorned with the tiny interconnected components that make up the chip circuitry.
Chemical amplification is akin to a light-triggered etching process.
Light releases acid molecules that, during heating, spread across the exposed areas of the photoresist. As it diffuses, the acid catalyzes a reaction, removing protectant groups from the photoresist in a "deprotection front" that alters the solubility in a developer solution of parts of the photoresist bordering the front.
The complex process has yielded sufficiently well-defined patterns for chipmaking up until now. "Current understanding of the process," says NIST polymer scientist Eric K. Lin, who led the research effort, "is not sufficiently detailed to ensure that it can be used to reliably achieve the resolution necessary to make semiconductors with sub-100-nanometer feature sizes."
If, for example, the acid molecules diffuse too far, then the reaction front will be poorly defined, the resultant pattern will be blurred, and, ultimately, on-chip devices will not meet nanometer-level tolerances.
In addition, the researchers write, next-generation semiconductors will be made with thinner photoresist films. This adjustment could affect photoresist properties and influence the formation and movement of the pattern-forming deprotection front, they say.
With the methods developed by Lin and his colleagues, the semiconductor industry has a direct means to resolve these and other important unknowns, moving them out of the realm of trial-and-error experimentation.
Measurements of beams of X-rays and beams of neutrons reflected off model photoresist layers before, during and after the deprotection reaction captured key details on the structure of the interface between the two layers, the profile and advance of the reaction front, local changes in chemical composition, and other important aspects of the process.
The researchers found, for example, that the ultimate position of a feature on the pattern printed on a photoresist was offset from a predicted location of the reaction front. Although the difference of three nanometers did not exceed the estimated tolerance for next-generation chips, other sources of error might combine with the offset to exceed the limit.
Challenges also may arise when the reaction front spans the entire perimeter of a pattern structure in the making. "Actual fabrication of sub-100 nanometer lines would involve two opposing reaction fronts that may interact and affect the dimensions of the patterned structure," the article says.
Measurement methods developed by the NIST-led team "fill a significant gap in the study, design and simulation of photoresist materials," Lin says. "Fundamental mechanisms can be investigated and computer simulation software can be directly tested with high-resolution data.
This, we hope, will lead to materials that are optimized for what must be an extremely precise manufacturing process."
A non-regulatory agency of the U.S. Department of Commerce's Technology Administration, NIST develops and promotes measurement, standards and technology to enhance productivity, facilitate trade and improve the quality of life.

Lindsay uses fraction models to identify a fraction greater than 1. Created by Lindsay Spears.
Want to join the conversation?
- I don't understand, they were separate shapes so shouldn't the first one have been 2/3 and the last one be 3/3? Why put them together if they are separate?(47 votes)
- We are looking at how many pieces of the whole. One circle is a whole. (We find it helpful to say one whole pizza). If we ate two slices and ate three slices, we ate 5/3 or 5 thirds. One whole is still only one pizza no matter how many slices we eat. We want to know what fraction we ate, so we count up all the shaded slices.(21 votes)
- At0:58, shouldn't the two circles (each having three parts) add up to six parts? Shouldn't the answer be 5/6 as opposed to 5/3?(0 votes)
- The denominator of a fraction always tells you the number of parts that will create 1 whole unit.
Each circle is a single unit. To make up one circle (or one unit) it take 3 parts.
If you have 5/6, you are saying that 5 parts of an object that has been split into 6 parts. Or, one circle split into 6 parts with 5 shaded.
Hope this helps.(4 votes)
- Can fractions be represented in a decimal form?(20 votes)
- Yes, fractions can be converted to decimals.
For example: To, change 3/4 into a decimal you would 3 by 4. This will create 0.75
See the videos are this link for more examples: https://www.khanacademy.org/math/arithmetic/arith-decimals/arith-review-decimals-to-fractions/v/converting-fractions-to-decimals-ex2(11 votes)
- This was obviously confusing to me. I totally did not get how that was showing a fraction greater than one. I mean, to me it looked like 2/3 and 3/3. Why couldent you just simply add the numerators?(6 votes)
- You could just add the numerators, which gets you 5/3.
But, you need to recognize that it is an improper fraction and that it is larger than 1 which is what this video is trying to show you.
5/3 = 1 2/3 (one whole unit and 2/3 of another unit).(11 votes)
- when I have a number like this 5/5 that means one why? and why cant it mean two(5 votes)
- because if you had one shape then you divided it into fifths you still have one shape. if you colored 5 of the 5 sections then you don't suddenly have two shapes appear that are all shaded in.(3 votes)
- what happens if parts of a fraction arnt equal(1 vote)
- Fractions by definition have parts that are equal. When you get to adding fractions, you will learn how to take fractions with different denominators (different sized pieces) and create equivalent fractions so the parts become equal.(3 votes)
- So if you have 18 small squares and 9 of them are shaded in what would that be? I am kind of confused on that.(2 votes)
- that would be 1/2 because 9+ 9 = 18 and if you saw a picture( sadly i cant show since i am on the computer) you wold see that it is 1/2 hmmmm......
imagine that the top 9 o's were shaded and the bottom 9 o's were not you could easily see that it is one half (1/2)(1 vote)
- So what does 5/3 actually mean? That there are 5 pieces of a thing shaded in out of three things in total? Or that there are 5 pieces of the whole when there are only 3 whole pieces?
Please EXPLAIN!(1 vote)
- The bottom number the "denominator" tells you how many parts make a whole. The top number the "numerator" tells you how many parts you have in total. 3/3 + 2/3 is equivalently one whole, and two thirds. One and two thirds of one is equal to five thirds.(1 vote)
- [Voiceover] This circle represents one whole. This circle right here represents one whole. If we know that, we can answer what fraction of the circle is shaded in blue below? So down here. What fraction is in blue? Let's start back up here with the whole. This whole is divided into one, two, three equal size pieces, so it's divided into thirds, three equal size pieces. And each of those pieces, each of those pie pieces, is 1/3, is one of the thirds. So knowing that, let's go down here to these ones and lets see how many of these 1/3 pieces. Here's 1/3, another 1/3, another 1/3 shaded in blue, another one and another one. So we have one, two, three, four, five thirds. We have 5/3 shaded in blue below.

BSCCL goes to spend $3.2 million to upgrade the capacity of its first undersea cable
Shining BD Desk || Shining BD
Bangladesh Submarine Cable Company Ltd (BSCCL), the state-run bandwidth importer, is going to spend $3.2 million to upgrade the capacity of its first undersea cable by more than four times.
The move will help the country deal with a bandwidth crunch and help meet the increased demand.
In a posting on the Dhaka Stock Exchange yesterday, the company informed that its board had approved an agreement between the SEA-ME-WE 4 submarine cable consortium and the supplier involving $3.2 million (excluding VAT/tax) to enhance the capacity of BSCCL by 3,800 gigabytes per second (Gbps).
Bangladesh is a member of South East Asia-Middle East-Western Europe 4 (SEA-ME-WE 4) consortium, the first undersea cable with which Bangladesh was connected in 2006.
The total bandwidth capacity of SEA-ME-WE 4 of the company will be 4,600 Gbps after the successful completion of the up-gradation process, said the filing.
"The additional supply from the first submarine cable will begin flowing in from early next year," AKM Habibur Rahman, managing director of BSCCL, told.
The upgradation will increase the life span of the first undersea cable from 2025 to 2030.
"We are now looking to bring down the price of bandwidth so that the end-users benefit from the increased supply," Rahman said.
BSCCL is also in talks with the consortium of SEA-ME-WE 5, the second submarine cable, to ramp up the supply as well.
The state-run entity supplies 1,400 Gbps through the SEA-ME-WE 5. The connection was established in 2017.
In Bangladesh, bandwidth consumption witnessed a remarkable rise during the coronavirus pandemic as people turned to internet to work, study and find entertainment at home.
Total bandwidth use surged to 3,840 Gbps in May this year, from 1,000 Gbps before the health crisis, according to the Bangladesh Telecommunication Regulatory Commission (BTRC).
BSCCL supplies a total of 2,200 Gbps while the rest comes from India through seven international terrestrial cable service providers.
The company is set to receive 13,200 Gbps from the third undersea cable, SEA-ME-WE 6, by 2025.
The bandwidth use is forecast to rise in coming years on the back of increasing reliance on internet. The government also plans to bring about 1 lakh educational institutions under internet connectivity.
The availability of fifth-generation (5G) service among wider users likely from this year will also drive up the bandwidth use. The trial run of the super-speed technology kicked off in December.
"There will be no bandwidth crunch despite the huge growth in internet usage as we are scheduled to get adequate bandwidth in the coming years," said Rahman.
There were 12.55 crore internet users in Bangladesh as of May.
Private companies are also set to get licences to establish, maintain and operate submarine cables, in a shift that will break the state monopoly and pave the way for a smooth supply of bandwidth.
State-run BSCCL is the lone entity permitted to connect the country with the rest of the world through undersea cables. But in order to attract private investment to the telecommunication industry and support the growth in bandwidth consumption, the BTRC has floated a tender to grant licences.
Six companies have applied.

In expert analysis, conflict is assigned various meaning, some are of the opinion that conflict is a way to achieve objectives by weakening the opponent with complete disregard for existing norms and values (Hartini and Kartasapoetra, 1992). Conflict does not merely involve physical, material or worldly goods but is also related to respect/appreciation. The second aspect is associated with Dignity, Self Worth, Prestige et cetera.
Conflict has the potential to occur in each and every social interaction, not only caused by the struggle to stay alive with limited space and resources, also due to aggressive and competitive instincts which are innately human.

Below is some guidance for filing a car insurance claim. Even though its better to brush through to this advice before you must have to file an automobile insurance claim, you might want to jot this advice down for future reference.
You really should know how much automobile insurance you've before youre involved in an accident; but, if you dont, learn how much liability insurance you've. Liability insurance could be the sum of money you have open to pay for the injuries caused by an accident in which you are to blame.

Contact Your Insurance Company
Contact your insurance carrier, and supply them with your name and address, as well as those of the concerned parties, anything important to the accident (date, time, spot, injuries, etc.), and the names and addresses of any witnesses. Your insurance company will advise you on what further steps to take, and chances are they will take it from there.
For the time being, keep records of most paperwork, including repair receipts and hospital visits. Your insurance carrier may request this paperwork later.

It is located on the motherboard. It serves as a communication channel between computers, and other hardware, such as routers, firewalls and bridges. It communicates with other devices using buses. It can be connected wirelessly or over wired connections. It is known as an Ethernet Network NIC in a wired medium and an Ethernet Network NIC in a wireless medium. There were three Ethernet NICs: 10-base T, 5-base T and 100-base. It was very slow to transfer data and was only used in 5-base. Telephone communication was done using 10-base T. It was quick. The 100-base-T Ethernet provided high-speed internet. 1000 base T Ethernet is the most recent version of the Ethernet NIC.

The Election Commission of India (ECI) has stated before the Supreme Court that exclusion of names of persons from draft National Registry of Citizens (NRC) in Assam will not affect their voting rights in the upcoming Lok Sabha polls provided their names feature in the electoral rolls.
Petition before the Supreme Court
Petition filed by Gopal Seth and Susanta Sen, residents of Assam feared that people would lose their voting rights due to the ongoing exercise of National Registry of Citizens. The petition highlighted five categories of people:
- Persons whose names were deleted from the voter list which includes names of those appeared in the draft NRC published on July 30, 2018.
- People whose names were not included in the complete draft NRC, but they subsequently filed claims for inclusion of their names in it.
- People who have been declared as foreigners by the foreigners’ tribunal as well as the Guwahati High Court. The order which has been stayed by the apex court.
- People who had already been declared foreigners by the foreigners’ tribunal and such declarations were set aside by the apex court.
- People whose names have not been included in the draft NRC, but other members of their families, including parents, have been included in the NRC and they have filed their claims for the inclusion of their names.
Allaying the fears the ECI has assured that exclusion of names of persons from draft NRC in Assam will not affect their voting rights in the upcoming Lok Sabha polls and sought the dismissal of the petition.
The Supreme Court asked the ECI to provide data about the addition and deletion of names from voters’ list as revised in January for 2017, 2018 and 2019. The case for posted for further hearing on March 28.
The government has overhauled the rules for the oil and gas exploration permits. The Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas has released the new rules for oil and gas exploration permits:
- New rules make a departure from the from the two-and-a-half decade-old practice of having a uniform contractual regime for all sedimentary basins in the country.
- The new policy provides for different rules for areas that already have producing fields and ones where commercial production of oil and gas is yet to be established.
- New rules provide complete marketing and pricing freedom for oil and gas in future bid rounds irrespective of the basins.
- Future bids for Oil and gas acreage or blocks will be awarded primarily on the basis of exploration work commitment.
- Companies are required to pay a share of revenue from oil and gas produced in Category-I sedimentary basins such as Krishna Godavari, Mumbai Offshore, Rajasthan or Assam where commercial production has already been established.
- Companies will be charged only prevalent royalty rates on oil and natural gas in the less explored Category-II and III basins.
- Further concessional royalty rates will be applicable if production is commenced within four years for onland and shallow water blocks, and five years for deep water and Ultra-deepwater blocks from the effective date of the contract.
The new rules are being introduced to increase exploration activities, attract domestic and foreign investment in unexplored and unallocated areas of sedimentary basins, and enhance domestic production of oil and gas.

Unfortunately, many people today don’t begin early enough to plan their retirements, nor do they fully grasp the principles of growing retirement income. I attribute this to the lack of solid planning for retirement. There’s actually plenty of good free retirement financing advice out there, but payment to a consultant is usually involved if you want custom information. As a result, some people try to fend for themselves, only to discover too late that they won’t have what they need to retire. That’s why it’s a good idea to use a financial professional to help you plan your retirement. And because it’s your hard-earned money, you should do some research first so you can ask informed questions of the financial advisor. Getting the lay of the land, financially speaking, can also lower the financial consultant’s bill.
Here are some of topics you should know before you pay someone for financial advice:
How insurance affects your financial future
Not everyone needs information on life insurance plans because they don’t have dependents that make life insurance necessary. But those who do need it should choose wisely. Understanding the difference between cash value, term life and variable universal life (VUL) will help you choose the right option for your circumstances. And I’ll clue you into one fact right from the start: whole life and universal life policies usually provide the worst return on investment and will often leave your loved ones with inadequate coverage. So you should keep that in mind when you talk to a consultant.
The differences between no-load and load mutual funds
Some financial advisors work on commission only, so it’s in their best interest to suggest “load” funds (funds with service fees). Sometimes you’re better off paying by the hour for financial consulting, so you can ensure the advice is objective. Once you understand the financial difference between no-load and loaded funds, you’ll see why.
Have an idea when you want to retire and how much money you’ll need
Before you meet with a financial planner, it would be prudent to know approximately when you want to retire and how much money you think it will take to maintain your lifestyle. That will help him or her to work with you to create a plan to get you where you need to go.
Once you’ve done your homework, you’ll want to to do just a little bit more: make some inquiries of your friends and family if they have any recommendations before you choose a financial planner. Once you have those recommendations, see if the candidates have built wealth in their own lives. If they haven’t been able to do it for themselves, they won’t be able to do it for you!

RNA synthesis, carried out by RNA polymerase, has both similarities and differences compared to DNA replication, carried out by DNA polymerase. In both, the synthesis occurs by means of the nucleophilic addition-elimination upon a phosphate group, similar to addition-elimination upon carboxylic acid derivatives, made thermodynamically favorable by phosphate cleavage. In both, the direction of synthesis is 5' to 3'. However, unlike DNA polymerase, RNA polymerase carries out RNA synthesis without a primer and unlike DNA polymerase, RNA polymerase does not detect and excise mismatched nucleotides.
In eukaryotes, transcription factors interact with promoters, binding upstream and assisting in RNA polymerase activity. Eukaryotes also possess enhancer sequences. The binding of a glucocorticoid receptor complex to an enhancer sequence, for example, stimulates transcription of certain genes.

The mid-infrared (mid-IR) wavelength range is an emerging and important new topic for frontier research. Its general importance relates to a multitude of mid-IR industrial and biomedical sensor applications. Chemical finger prints of most complex molecules such as those found in food, tissue or catalytic compounds all have vibrational spectra in the mid-IR, thus identifiable through mid-IR spectroscopy. Incidentally also the fundamental absorption bands of gas molecules are located in the mid-IR enabling novel instrumentation for mid-IR gas spectroscopy at small concentrations relevant for applications like, “leak-tests” or remote sensing of greenhouse gases.
The main obstacle for the exploitation of the mid-IR optical window has been a historical lack of efficient mid-IR excitation light sources and sensitive mid-IR detectors/imaging. In mid-TECH we have gathered the best European academic and industrial partners to show that in a combined effort both technological short comings can be overcome paving the way for novel instrumentation for industry and society. Key elements are novel semiconductor based Quantum Cascade Lasers (QCLs), rugged mid-IR Optical Parametrical Oscillators combined with novel, record “low noise” mid-IR upconversion detection and imaging. These two building blocks will be implemented for cancer diagnostics, for combustion analysis and absorption/DIAL spectroscopy.
Since we are combining frontier research within different mid-IR areas we do not at present have the necessary skilled researchers knowing the combined mid-IR enabling components. It is a main goal of mid-TECH to train 15 ESRs to an outstanding level where they subsequently to their study can act as Europe’s new cross-sectorial technical experts in mid-IR technology at one hand and at the same time fill in a much needed link between academia and industry. This is realized through entrepreneurial courses and secondments between the mid-TECH partners.

Jackie Chan ‘Finally’ Grabs an Oscar, After 56 Years in the Industry!
“After 56 years in the film industry, making more than 200 films, after so many bones, finally,” Chan, 62, quipped at the star-studded gala dinner while holding his Oscar.
The action star Jackie Chan is awarded an honorary Oscar for his lifework in November. As the US film academy announced on Thursday , the British film editor Anne Coates, US casting director Lynn Stalmaster and the US documentary filmmaker Frederick Wiseman are to receive the special prize, including the 62-year-old actor.
The honorary Oscar “Governors Awards” was created for artists like these four, said the President of the Academy, Cheryl Boone Isaacs. They are “true pioneers and legends”.
Chan is from Hong Kong and started his career as a child. Since then he has appeared in more than 150 films, and has also worked as a director, producer and screenwriter. His most famous films include “Rumble in the Bronx”, “Karate Kid”, “Shanghai Noon” and “Rush Hour”. Chan has never been nominated for one of the regular Oscars .
The Honorary Oscars are awarded on November 12th. The special prize had in the past, among others, the US director Francis Ford Coppola and the US talk show host Oprah Winfrey received.

One of the running issues I have with my mentor GD is my resistance to his vision of cinema and television. He feels strongly that the entertainment of the future will be more and more rooted in higher consciousness. And I, with my nose closer to the current box-office numbers, audience metrics and television ratings points, feel he’s deluded from being around the tiny community of spiritual seekers. He doesn’t know about what mass audiences really want, I think, he’s just finding proof for his own beliefs.
But these days, I am beginning to think he may be right. And if you don’t believe me: see this stunning trailer for Cloud Atlas.
Watching the extended trailer of the Wachowski brothers’ ‘Cloud Atlas’ makes me wonder if the mainstream is broadening. With its massive cast, ‘Cloud Atlas’ feels like the ‘Love Actually’ of spiritual cinema. And the logline – about how one soul is shaped from a murderer into a savior and a single act of kindness ripples out for centuries to inspire a revolution – makes me want to hallelujah!On television today, American dramas like ‘Heroes’ and Kiefer Sutherland’s ‘Touch’ convey a message of interconnectedness. British reality shows like ‘Undercover Boss’ and ‘The Secret Millionaire’ connect us with the joy of pure giving. Weekdays at prime time, I watch a show called ‘Mentalist’ that uses the detective genre to talk about the unseen world.
Not that uplifting, paradigm-challenging themes were not around earlier – my all-time favorite remains Frank Capra’s ‘It’s a Wonderful Life’ made in 1946 – but don’t they just seem to be coming back bigger and bigger every year? I guess it doesn’t get any bigger than James Cameron’s magical, eco-spiritual parable ‘Avatar’.
Then there’s ‘The Life of Pi’ by Ang Lee coming out in December. Stranded on his little boat with a Bengal tiger for 227 days after a shipwreck, young Pi wonders about profound questions: Is there a god? How can he be so unjust? Why is life and nature so random? Why am I here? Not the kind of answers you would expect out of a big studio film.
With such amazing films coming soon to a multiplex near me, I thought it would be wise to ask GD once again what is his vision for cinema of the future – and for the first time to hear him out without arguing!
“The new paradigm of cinema is about transcending the human self.” GD says. “In the old days, the closest movies could get to that was romantic love – not even soul-mates, just earth-mates. But now it is about connecting with the higher self. That translates on screen as unconditional love, oneness, service, living life fully, and seeing our life as maya, a temporary illusion. It has many expressions, but fundamentally it boils down to whether a film is supporting mass consciousness or transcending it. Without preaching or sermonizing, this new cinema will break all the ‘boxes’ and limitations we as a species have imposed on ourselves.”
It’s interesting that we are at a point in history when the biggest hit in Bollywood cinema is the comedy ‘Three Idiots’ which talks about breaking out of the social pressure of chasing success and listening to your inner voice. And the biggest hit worldwide is ‘Avatar’ which is about breaking out of human conditioning and listening to the timeless ancestral wisdom. Below is a chart with some of my favourite movies with spiritual themes – I avoided docus like ‘The Secret’ or ‘What the Bleep’ to show how much it is not a new age phenomenon anymore.
And now, if you will excuse me, I think I’ll go and complete that spiritual film script I had left unfinished! 🙂

has been used and considered as a first-line therapy for acute and maintenance
treatment of mania in bipolar disorder despite the presence of other
mood-stabilizers. Lithium has narrow therapeutic index and patients may
experience poor response and/or toxicities that are both dose and concentration
dependent. Therefore, estimation lithium pharmacokinetics parameters and the
appropriate dose to achieve the desired level are necessary to optimize lithium
therapy for all patients. Thus, the objective of this study is to determine the population pharmacokinetics
of tacrolimus in Saudi bipolar
patients and to identify factors that explain variability.
Method: A retrospective chart
review was performed at King Saud University Medical City on bipolar patients
who received oral lithium. The average and standard deviation for age,
weight, serum creatinine, total daily dose of lithium, and trough levels in our
patient population were analyzed. The
population pharmacokinetic models were developed using Monolix 4.4. After the appropriate base model was
established, five covariates were tested, specifically age, gender, weight,
serum creatinine, and creatinine
clearance. For covariate testing, we started by plotting the individual
pharmacokinetic parameters vs. covariates to screen for potentially significant
correlations. Then, we performed a stepwise regression analysis to test the
significant covariates identified in step 1 using the log-likelihood ratio
Results: The analysis included a total of 170 lithium
plasma concentrations from 31 (77% female) patients with a mean (±SD) age of 36.3 ± 10.5 years and body weight of 82.7 ± 14.8 kg.
The patients received a lithium total daily dose (TDD) of 750 ± 260 mg/day,
which resulted in trough concentration of 0.73 ± 0.26 mmol/L. The mean
creatinine clearance (Clcr) for the subjects was 119.2 ± 32.8 ml/min. The data
were adequately described by two compartment open model with linear absorption
and elimination. Due to single point sparse data, not all parameters and their
inter-individual variability could be determined. Thus, lithium clearance (CL)
and its inter-individual variability were determined while other
pharmacokinetic parameters were fixed using available literature information. Average
parameter estimates for lithium CL, volume of the central compartment (V1), volume of the
peripheral compartment (V2), and intercompartmental
clearance (Q) were 1.15 L/h, 22.1 L (fixed), 3.35 L (fixed), and 0.44 L/h
(fixed), respectively. The inter-individual variability (coefficients of
variation) in CL was 42%. The
most significant covariate on lithium CL was found to be creatinine clearance.
The population CL of lithium in the final model was expressed as CL =
1.15 × (Clcr/119.2)0.117.
The population pharmacokinetic model of lithium in Saudi bipolar patients was
established and significant covariate on the lithium model was identified. This
model showed the significant inter-individual variability between subjects. In
addition, our findings showed that creatinine clearance is the most significant covariate on lithium CL.
These findings offering basis for rational
individualization of lithium dosing regimens. Further studies are required to
understand the factors that may influence the pharmacokinetics of lithium and
may assist in drug dosage decisions.

With recent progress in lightwave technology, optical heterodyne and homodyne detection methods, commonly referred to as coherent communications, are becoming increasingly viable. The techniques are important to future lightwave communications systems because they offer substantially higher receiver sensitivity, as well as the ability to tune to a large number of channels with small frequency separation.

Reality TV stars-we love to love them and we love to hate them. Dressing like them is fun, cheap, and often times unique. The cast of Jersey Shore is overdone and no one wants to see a million Pauly D’s running around, fist pumping. But, if you’re anything like me, you are a sucker for trashy TV and aren’t afraid to say it. Here are the top five Halloween costumes based off reality TV stars.
5) Real Housewives of New Jersey. While Jersey Shore is overdone, the women of RHONJ show a whole new side of the Garden State…sometimes. Grab a group of pals, throw on big heels, short dresses, and channel your inner Jersey housewife. These costumes also serve as a nice conversation starter-everyone watches the RHONJ/NY/A/OC/BH shows, but rarely publicly admits it. After a few glasses of cider, you can rekindle the times Teresa flipped a table. No matter what though, I call Melissa Gorga. Because honestly, who WOULDN’T want to be Melissa for a night?
4) Kim Kardashian’s Wedding. White dress, questionable headpiece, and a divorce waiting to happen. Easy. Get your boyfriend to be Kris Humphries. All he needs is a dumb facial expression and poofy hair. Perhaps you can draw up some divorce papers to carry around too. Oh, and you have to wear the biggest diamond you can find. I’m talking golf ball sized diamond. 20 karats isn’t too big.
3) Toddlers and Tiaras: Dress up like children, wear a lot of makeup (the tackier the better), and get a sash. Maybe even hold a big trophy, fake money, and carry a binky. You can always have your best friend be your pageant mom or the girl who wasn’t crowned Ultimate Grand Supreme.
2) Survivor contestants: This was the easiest Halloween costume I have ever done. My boyfriend and I ordered buffs from CBS.com, wore shorts and shirts we already had, and called it a day. I got a wooden beaded necklace and made that be the immunity necklace. We saved money and had unique costumes. Oh, and since you are pretending you’re stuck on an island, you don’t have to waste time doing your hair and makeup.
1) Bachelor and Bachelorette: Make your man, or guy friend, wear a shirt and tie and make sure he has a rose pinned to his shirt. As for you, wear a cocktail dress and you can go one of two ways: You can have a rose, symbolizing the man of your dreams wants to keep you around for another week, or you can have makeup running down your face and messed up hair, meaning the love of your life didn’t give you a rose. How dare he give Vienna a rose?!
I hope you love these ideas. Tweet us (@collegelifestyl) your pictures and leave your costume choice in the comments section found below.
