The OECD’s Working Party 1 held a meeting with commentators on 7 September 2012 on the discussion draft relating to the interpretation and application of the commentary to article 5 (permanent establishment or PE) of the OECD model tax treaty. In response to comments made to the draft, Working Party 1 has made some preliminary changes; further amendments are possible.
Some of the main points of interest are as follows:
- A preliminary clarification will be made in relation to contract manufacturing, so that intermittent and incidental visits by personnel of the principal to a contract/toll manufacturer (e.g. for quality control purposes) will not easily lead to the conclusion that premises are “at the disposal of” the principal. It became clear that on a literal reading of proposed paragraph (4.2) on contract manufacturing that the presence of inventory owned by the principal could lead to the conclusion that premises are “at the disposal of” the principal (with only article 5(4) of the model treaty mitigating the possibility that a PE will be created – although matters may be more complex if there is more than mere storage of inventory (article 5(4)(f)).
- In the proposed paragraph on activities of a recurrent nature (6.1), the example of a commercial fair taking place for 15 consecutive years (which was subject to considerable criticism) is replaced with an example concerning drilling operations that, due to seasonal circumstances, take place for four months in each of the five consecutive years.
- Working Party 1 is divided on the issue of the subcontracting of building projects. Specifically, it is Germany’s position that no PE will be created for the general contractor if all of the work is subcontracted and none of the general contractor’s own personnel are present on site. Conversely, most of the other OECD member countries believe that the presence of the general contractor’s own personnel is not required to give rise to a PE of the general contractor in these circumstances.
- No changes were made to the draft as it relates to an agency PE, so the OECD leaves open the possibility that an agent can bind its principal by other than purely legal means (i.e. economically or commercially). It should be noted that this seems to run counter to a number of domestic Supreme Court decisions in Europe, in which the courts have explained “binding” to mean legally binding.
The next Working Party 1 meeting will take place in February 2013 and a revised discussion draft is expected then. The final changes will be included in the next update of the model convention, currently scheduled for 2014.

Feldspars are a group of rock-forming aluminium tectosilicate minerals, containing sodium, calcium, potassium or barium. The most common members of the feldspar group are the plagioclase feldspars and the alkali feldspars. Feldspars make up about 60% of the Earth's crust, and 41% of the Earth's continental crust by weight.
Feldspars crystallize from magma as both intrusive and extrusive igneous rocks and are also present in many types of metamorphic rock. Rock formed almost entirely of calcic plagioclase feldspar is known as anorthosite. Feldspars are also found in many types of sedimentary rocks.

French Benedictine (Maurist), born 1609 at Saint Quentin in Picardy; died in the monastery of St. Germain des Prés at Paris, 29 April, 1685. He was a profound student of medieval historical and theological materials, mostly in original manuscripts, to the collection, elucidation, and printing of which he devoted his whole life. He entered the Order of St. Benedict at an early age, was professed at the Abbey of the Blessed Trinity, Vendôme, 4 October, 1632, but his health soon obliged him to remove to Paris. He became a member (1637) of the monastery of St. Germain des Pré, and in his long sojourn of nearly fifty years scarcely ever quitted its walls. As librarian of the monastery he was soon acquainted with its rich treasures of medieval history and theology, and by a continuous correspondence with other monasteries, both in and out of France, he soon made himself a bibliographical authority of the first rank, especially in all that pertained to the unedited or forgotten writings of medieval scholars. His first important work was an edition (Paris, 1645) of the "Epistle of Barnabas", whose Greek text had been prepared for the press, before his death, by the Maurist Hugo Ménard. D'Achéry's "Asceticorum vulgo spiritualium opusculorum Indiculus" (Paris, 1645) served as a guide to his confrè, Claude Chantelou, in the preparation of the five volumes of his "Bibliotheca Patrum ascetica" (Paris, 1661). In 1648 he published all the works of Blessed Lanfrac of Canterbury (P. L., CL, 9). He published and edited for the first time the works of Abbot Guibert of Nogent (Paris, 1661) with an appendix of minor writings of an ecclesiastical character. In 1656 he edited the "Regula Solitaria" of the ninth century priest Grimlaicus (Grimlaic), a spiritual guide for hermits. His principal work, however, is the famous "Spicilegium, sive Collectio veterum aliquot scriptorum qui in Galliae bibliothecis, maxime Benedictinorum, latuerunt" (Paris, 1655-77), continued by Baluze and Martène, to whom we owe an enlarged and improved edition (Paris, 1723). D'Achéry collected the historical materials for the great work known as "Acta Ordinis S. Benedicti" but Mabillon added so much to it in the way of prefaces, notes, and "excursus" that it is justly accounted as his work. D'Achéry was the soul of the noble Maurist movement, and a type of the medieval Benedictine, humble and self-sacrificing, virtuous and learned. Despite continued illness he was foremost in all the labours of the French Benedictines of St. Maur, and was the master of many of the most illustrious among them, e.g. Mabillon. His valuable correspondence is preserved in the Bibliothéque Nationale at Paris.

Local officials in Faryab on Friday said that traffic accidents have increased in the province as at least 15 people have died and more than 50 others have been wounded in such incidents over the past two months.
The officials said that women are also victims of the incidents.
“In the past two months, 15 people have been killed and 54 people were wounded,” said Baryali Yarmand, head of the Faryab Traffic Police Office.
“According to the recent order that the traffic department received, the department will evaluate each route under the supervision of the technical board,” said Naqibullah Islami, head of revenue control regulation of the Faryab transportation department.
Officials said that damaged roads, carelessness of drivers, and lack of traffic rules are the reasons for traffic accidents.
A number of Faryab residents expressed their concern over the increase in traffic accidents in the province and called on officials to take measures to prevent such incidents.
“Men who are not 18 years old have a car and they drive, and it causes to increase in traffic accidents,” said Nabil, a Faryab resident.
“They don’t know basic differences in traffic signs and rules,” said Khalil Rahman, a Faryab resident.
It is said that traffic accidents after security incidents cause more injuries and deaths to citizens of the country.—Tolo news

The socket is the hole in the alveolar ridge bone that supports the tooth. Disease can create large pockets in the socket. Extraction of a tooth will result in some loss of bone during healing. In order to preserve ridge bone an extraction socket may have bone graft material placed in it. In many cases it is advisable to graft bone into the socket.
Three of the top cases socket grafting is most useful in are:
In all of these cases socket grafting preserves bone height and width. The natural process after a tooth is extracted resorbs the bone in 3 dimensions resulting in total bone volume loss.
In the case of the implant, a smaller implant may have to be used or a bone graft may be necessary at the time of implant placement. Bone grafting after atrophy has occurred is more difficult and less successful. For example, a single tooth extraction site may be socket grafted with bottled bone with 2 sutures. A healed extraction site with bone loss requires a larger incision, flapping back the gum tissue, occasionally collection of autograft from another site, membrane placement and multiple sutures. The loss of bone initially can also result in gingiva (gum) atrophy and a subsequent gum graft may be needed.
In the case of a future bridge, socket grafting with a long lasting hydroxylapatite material can support the bone and slow the resorptive process significantly. This has the effect of improved function and aesthetics of the bridge. Loss of bone would require the pontic (middle tooth in the bridge) to be too long which would be unaesthetic. Also bone loss after the bridge is made results in a gap that is unaesthetic and a food trap.
In the case of the denture, the socket grafting with a slowly resorbing graft material can delay the inevitable bone loss that results in poor denture fit.

The average value for cultivated land in Ontario increased by 19.4 % in 2022, according to the Farm Credit Canada farmland values report published on March 14.
That was the highest reported increase among all provinces. In 2021, Ontario experienced a record increase of 22.2 %, following a modest increase of 4.7 % in 2020.
FCC reported that demand, coupled with limited supply in many areas, led to higher prices.
Demand for land was high from large, intensive, supply-managed farm operations, cash crop producers, hobby farmers and investors in areas close to large urban centres, the report said.
Eastern Ontario saw land value increases of 14.9 %, which is below the provincial average. There was an influx of producers selling land in Western Ontario and settling in the east where land parcels were less expensive. Eastern Ontario farmland prices averaged $11,100 per acre. Farmland prices range from $5,700 per acre to $18,900 per acre, the report said.
Some areas of Western Ontario saw price increase by as much as 23 per cent on average last year. Prices were highest from around St. Thomas and Tillsonburg, north to about Harriston and West to Lake Huron, with an average price of $28,900 per acre.
Seeking less expensive land, there was an exodus of producers selling land in Western Ontario and settling in Eastern Ontario where farmland prices averaged $11,100 per acre.

Reconstruction of 465 heritage sites over
KATHMANDU, JANUARY 10
The National Reconstruction Authority has claimed significant progress in restoring cultural and archaeological heritage sites that were damaged or destroyed in the 2015 earthquakes and subsequent aftershocks.
According to a report recently released by the NRA, out of 920 sites, reconstruction of 465 sites has been completed while the remaining are in the final stages of construction.
Reconstruction of the major monument Ranipokhari has been completed and work is progressing on the 20th floor of Dharahara and two more floors that are expected to be completed soon. Similarly, work is under way at the north, south and eastern facades of the main administrative building of Singha Durbar as the government is planning to shift the Office of the Prime Minister and the Council of Ministers there by mid-February.
“Reconstruction and retrofitting is in full swing at Babarmahal, Kesharmahal, Bal Mandir and Ranoddwip Durbar and other durbars of archaeological significance within the Narayanhiti Museum area. The masterplan for integrated Tundhikhel, democratic museum, Narayanhiti Museum, Gorkha Durbar, Nuwakot Durbar and seven other archaeological heritage sites are in the approval stage, after which these sites will be developed,” it said.
The NRA said reconstruction of heritage sites was relatively complex and challenging.
Proper consideration had to be given to competent human resources, building materials, preservation of religious and cultural aspects, agreement with local communities, universal standards on heritage, the time required for wood artistry and sculpting.
There has been some progress in the reconstruction of monasteries as well. Out of 1,320 damaged-monasteries, 895 need to be reconstructed while 402 need to be repaired.
Out of these 402 that need to be repaired, 294 have been completed while 108 are being repaired.
Similarly, out of 7,553 schools, reconstruction of 6,085 (81 per cent) schools has been completed while 1,468 (19 per cent) schools are currently under-construction.
The reconstruction of schools is set to be completed within this fiscal.
As for health institutions, out of 1,197 health centres, the reconstruction of 698 health centres has been completed while the rest will be completed within this fiscal year.
“We have made more than 90 per cent progress in the reconstruction of private houses.
Out of 796,245 beneficiaries who have signed agreement for the government grant, 556,487 (70 per cent) beneficiaries have already built their houses while 168,083 (21 per cent) beneficiaries are constructing their houses,” the NRA said.
The total cost required for reconstruction and rehabilitation, as per the five-year plan, is Rs 488 billion. Out of this, Rs 339 billion has been spent through the Government of Nepal and donors.


Block walls, also known as masonry walls, are structures built using individual units or blocks made from materials such as concrete, cinder blocks, or natural stone. These walls provide strength, stability, and durability, and they serve various purposes in both residential and commercial construction projects. At Starks Construction, we focus on building high-quality block walls, and here are some of the different types we offer:
Types of block walls we offer:
1. Cinder Block Walls: Concrete block walls, also known as concrete masonry units (CMUs) are constructed using precast concrete blocks that are durable and versatile. These blocks are available in different sizes and shapes, allowing for a wide range of design possibilities. Concrete block walls are commonly used for
2. Retaining Walls: Retaining walls are structures designed to hold back and support soil or other materials in a sloping area. They are typically constructed in landscapes with varying elevations to prevent soil erosion, create level surfaces, and add structural stability. Retaining walls are built using durable materials such as concrete, brick, or stone, and are strategically designed to withstand the pressure exerted by the retained soil or material.
3. Boundary Walls: Boundary walls, also known as property walls or perimeter walls, are erected to define and enclose the boundaries of a property. These walls provide privacy, security, and establish clear property lines. Boundary walls are commonly constructed using materials such as brick, stone, or concrete, and can be customized to suit the desired aesthetic and level of security required for the property.
4. Sound Barriers: Sound barriers, also referred to as sound walls or noise barriers, are structures specifically designed to reduce the transmission of noise from a noise source to a designated area. These walls are commonly used near highways, railways, or industrial zones to minimize noise pollution and create a quieter environment for nearby properties. Sound barriers are constructed using materials that have sound-absorbing or sound-reflecting properties, such as concrete, brick, or specially designed acoustic panels.
5. Structural Walls of Buildings: Structural walls are load-bearing walls within a building that provide support and stability to the overall structure. These walls carry the weight of the building’s floors, roof, and any additional loads. Structural walls are typically constructed using strong and durable materials, such as concrete or reinforced masonry, and are designed to withstand vertical and lateral forces to ensure the integrity and safety of the building.
6. Interlocking Block Walls: Interlocking block walls are constructed using blocks that have specialized shapes and grooves that fit together like puzzle pieces. This design eliminates the need for mortar, resulting in faster and easier construction. Interlocking block walls are often used for garden walls, landscape features, and decorative walls.
7. Garden Walls: Garden walls are low, decorative walls that add structure, elegance, and organization to outdoor spaces. These walls are typically designed to separate different areas within a garden or landscape, creating distinct zones and enhancing the overall visual appeal. Garden walls can be constructed using various materials, such as stone, brick, or decorative concrete blocks, and can incorporate elements like seating areas, raised planters, or integrated lighting to create a beautiful and functional outdoor space.
As a masonry construction business, we excel in the design and construction of these various types of walls. Our skilled team of craftsmen ensures the use of high-quality materials and precise construction techniques to deliver durable, aesthetically pleasing, and structurally sound walls for your specific needs.
Each type of block wall offers unique characteristics and advantages, and our team of skilled masonry professionals can guide you in choosing the most suitable option for your specific project requirements. We pride ourselves on delivering exceptional craftsmanship, attention to detail, and reliable construction practices to ensure that your block wall is not only aesthetically pleasing but also structurally sound and long-lasting.
By choosing Starks Construction, you can have confidence in the quality and expertise we bring to every block wall project. We are dedicated to transforming your vision into reality and creating block walls that enhance the functionality, beauty, and value of your property.


Ecoult awarded largest battery-based renewable energy storage project in Australia; 1.6 MWh UltraBattery system
Australia-based Ecoult has been awarded a Hydro Tasmania contract to supply the largest battery-based renewable energy storage system in Australia for the King Island Renewable Energy Integration Project (KIREIP). Formed in 2007 by the CSIRO Australia to commercialize the UltraBattery (earlier post), Ecoult was acquired by the US-based East Penn Manufacturing Company Inc. in 2010.
The 3 MW / 1.6 MWh UltraBattery storage system will complement other elements of Hydro Tasmania’s KIREIP, the aim of which is to reduce significantly King Island’s reliance on diesel fuel to supply the island’s energy needs. The storage system will have the capacity to power the entire island for up to 45 minutes.
|UltraBattery concept. Click to enlarge.|
The UltraBattery combines the advantages of advanced lead-acid battery technology with the advantages of an asymmetric capacitor, enabling an optimal balance of an energy-storing lead-acid battery with the quick charge acceptance, power discharge, and longevity of a capacitor. UltraBattery operates very efficiently in continuous Partial State of Charge (PSoC) use without frequent overcharge maintenance cycles.
KIREIP will enable demonstration of a power system that can deliver more than 65% of the island’s annual needs from renewable energy, and do it without any loss of reliability or grid stability and at a price lower than the diesel power alternative. KIREIP will lower CO2 emissions by 95% through the use of sustainable clean energy sources, including bio-diesel.


Many news stories about robots have a bit of fun joking about the impending robot apocalypse when the machines no longer need us. For many people, a more frightening and real possibility is that a robot may be coming for their jobs. It can feel odd to celebrate the admittedly fascinating advances in fields like self-driving cars and manufacturing robots, because these devices are quite likely to replace humans. Still, this is nothing new — automation has been taking over human jobs for as long as we’ve had the capacity to worry about such things as a society. As we approach a new age of automation, what will become of us?
The robots are coming
Robotic technology has come a long way in just the last decade. We’ve gone from contraptions that could barely get up on two feet or pick up an object, to advanced robots that cannot be knocked down or can place small components in a smartphone chassis. Just look at how Foxconn has improved the monotonous task of assembling small electronics.
Last year, the company explained that its plans to replace some of its workforce were on hold because the robotic arms it had designed were not precise enough to add components to iPhones based on Apple’s stringent requirements. However, a few months ago, Foxconn announced that an improved version of the Foxbot had resulted in the elimination of 60,000 human workers in its factories. The robots are simply better at repetitive tasks than humans who demand bathroom breaks and wages.
In the same vein, there’s Amazon and its network of massive warehouses. These facilities still rely on human workers, but the company has also increased automation with robots manufactured by Amazon’s Kiva subsidiary. These squat automatons jet around the building, picking up shelves and other heavy objects to move them where humans can pick your order more easily. Amazon insists this is not about eliminating jobs, but it’s not exactly ending its efforts to automate the warehouse game. The company hosts robotics competitions that encourage engineers to develop computer vision systems and graspers that can identify and pick up products from a shelf. That’s one of the main things humans still do in Amazon’s warehouses.
Self-driving cars are further from reality, but they could make an even bigger impact on the way we live and work. Google is at the forefront of this technology, and has been testing the cars for several years. The company is keen to point out that in all the miles it has driven, there have been virtually no accidents, and most of those were caused by the fallible humans behind the wheel. More recently, Uber has started researching self-driving car technology, which could one day allow it to do away with the human drivers it contracts with.
Self-driving cars still have a long way to go — for example, they currently only work in good weather with well-defined streets. It’s only a matter of time before someone figures out how to make these systems more reliable. It’s going to have huge economic impact when that happens. There are an estimated 3.5 million truck drivers in the US, and many of those jobs could vanish in short order.
The trend toward increasing automation is going to continue over the coming years, it’s inevitable. What does that mean for all those people?
… and they want your job
A robot does not strictly want anything yet, but the people who own the businesses want them to take over for human workers. Automation reduces the cost of production, so businesses invest in it. Right now that means robots and AI. Those who feel this will be detrimental to the middle class point out that the technology being developed now is considerably more capable than what we’ve dealt with in the past.
Looking at the history of automation, the doomsday predictions have never come true. There’s never been an explosion of long-term unemployment because of it. Sure, people lose jobs, and that’s genuinely unfortunate. No one wants that, but automation frees humans from menial labor—the sort of jobs people would rather not do anyway. Letting robots do what humans used to do could improve everyone’s quality of life in the long-term as new industries and better jobs appear. If there’s any way for a business to make money with human workers, you can be sure they’ll find it.
This transition still requires humanity to work together — something we often stink at. Some believe we’re reaching a point where a developed society simply doesn’t need everyone to work. If that’s the case, do we use something like universal basic income to encourage volunteer work and entrepreneurship? A robot may come for your job one day, but maybe that could end up benefiting you. We just don’t know exactly how yet. The next few years are going to be interesting.

Extraction and bioconversion of kaempferol metabolites from cauliflower outer leaves through fungal fermentation
- Huynh, Nguyen Thai, Smagghe, Guy, Gonzales, Gerard Bryan, Van Camp, John, Raes, Katleen
- Biochemical engineering journal 2016 v.116 pp. 27-33
- Aspergillus sojae, bioactive compounds, biotransformation, cauliflower, fungi, kaempferol, leaves, metabolites, phenolic compounds, rutin, solid state fermentation
- Cauliflower outer leaves contain bioactive compounds, therefore fermentation could be a strategy to release phenolic compounds and their metabolites and thus increase their valorization potential. This study aimed to evaluate the release and metabolism of different filamentous fungi. The fermentation with Aspergillus sojae was found to extract the highest level of total phenolic compounds (321mg rutin equivalents (RE)/100g fresh weight (FW)) after 1day, which was 3 times higher compared to the unfermented sample (113mg RE/100g FW). The most dominant kaempferol metabolites were kaempferol-3-O-diglucoside in all fermented samples (38–126mg RE/100g FW) and kaempferol-3-O-diglucoside-7-O-glucoside in the unfermented sample (34.8mg RE/100g FW). Furthermore, in all fungal treated samples, the phenolic profile shifted to a profile with less or no carbohydrate moieties at the 3- or 7-carbon position. These results indicate the potential of solid-state fermentation to obtain different phenolic-rich extracts, with a unique profile in phenolic compounds, depending on the fungal strain used.

I didn’t see the Rialto Bridge last time I visited and I was hoping to see the Rialto Markets. Unfortunately, we were too late but this didn’t stop us from having one of the most scenic meals of my life. It’s vying for top spot with lunch overlooking the beach in Monterosso.
We were lucky enough to get a table right on the edge of the water, with perfect views of the Grand Canal and the Rialto Bridge, the oldest of the four bridges spanning the canal. The gorgeous bridge is raised in the middle to allow tall ships to pass underneath and houses shops on either side of the peak. It was considered an outrageous design doomed for failure by critics during the 16th century when it was completed yet it has stood the test of time to become one of the icons of Venice.
It was hard to focus on my delicious seafood spaghetti with such beautiful action unfolding before my eyes out on the canal!

This article will provide an overview of the raw binary channel data file (.chn) and provide an example of how to compare that data to exported data in a CSV/TSV file.
Binary Data Overview
Following data download in SLICEWare, a channel data file is created for each channel configured in the Prepare tab in the default DTS SLICEWare Data folder. The files can be viewed using a hex editor.
This file consists of a header and sample data in raw binary form. The header length of the file varies in length dependent upon several factors; the format of which can be viewed here:
Sample data begins on the byte immediately following the last header byte.
Each sample consists of a signed 32-bit integer in little-endian format (least significant byte first), where the value represents the ADC count value of the signal at that given sample point/time. The following figure provides a snapshot of a raw binary channel file (.chn) where the blue-highlighted values denote the first sample data.
SLICEWare provides several export formats for use with various programs. For the purposes of this article, we will focus on the CSV format (similar to TSV). There are two different data modes for use when exporting data: Don’t filter channels and Use channel filter settings.
The default export mode will be Use channel filter settings. Selecting this mode applies the software filter designated in the sensor database to the raw data before saving the filtered data to the export file. As this data has been subjected to filtering, values in the exported file will not match the values presented in the binary channel file.
To directly compare export file values to the channel data file values (.chn files), the Don’t filter channels setting must be selected when exporting data to the designated file.
When a file is exported, a folder will be created in the DTS Data folder denoting the export file type. Inside this folder, two subfolders named FILTERED and UNFILTERED will be created. Dependent upon the export format and filter settings selected, the default location will be one of these subfolders. The filename of the exported data will denote filter setting (_FILTERED or _UNFILTERED).
Why Filtering Matters
Signal filtering allows for the suppression or elimination of undesirable frequency content in the input signal. This provides a way to make the system response comply with filtering requirements inherent in many dynamic test procedures, and generally delivers a cleaner signal.
The software filters available in DTS software comply with the SAE J211/1 and ISO 6487 standards. Utilizing the SAE and ISO standards is a two-phase process. The first phase consists of passing the raw channel data through a 2-pole Butterworth filter at the desired frequency from time t0 to tn. The second phase consists of passing the filtered data generated in the first phase through a second, identical 2-pole Butterworth filter from time tn to t0. The reverse filtering allows for reduction of the phase shift introduced by the initial forward filtering.
The following figure provides a snapshot of the filtered and unfiltered CSV files from the accelerometer test that will be examined later.
As can be seen, application of a CFC 180 software filter to the data results in a noticeable adjustment to the sample results as compared to the raw data.
This section will provide an example of comparing data between the channel file and exported CSV files. The following figure depicts an accelerometer test with a snapshot of the first few data points from the channel file. Note the CFC 180 software filter applied to the data in the Filter drop down menu.
Exported CSV file snapshots:
Converting Binary Channel Data to EU Units
Sensor channel data in the raw binary channel file (.chn) is a signed 32-bit integer in little-endian format (least significant byte first).
For the first data point on channel 0, the channel file reads "2E 00". Since the data is little-endian, the actual value would be 0x00 2E. This is the number of ADC counts representing the signal value at this sample number/time.
To calculate the EU unit value of this particular data point, the following steps must be followed:
- Convert signed 32-bit hex value to decimal value
ADC count value = 0x00 2E (base 16) --> 46 (base 10) = 46
- Adjust the decimal ADC count value by the Data Zero value
Data Zero = 49 counts
Adjusted Count Value = ADC Count Value - Data Zero = 46 - 49 = -3
- Multiply the Adjusted Count Value by the Scale Factor (EU/CNT) value
Scale Factor (EU/CNT) = 0.022148
EU = Adjusted Count Value * Scale Factor = -3 * 0.022148 = -0.066444
As can be seen in the above data snapshot, this value matches that presented in the unfiltered data CSV file but does not match the value shown in the filtered data CSV. The reason behind this can be seen by attempting to reverse the calculation process listed above for the filtered data value:
- Determine Adjusted Count Value
Adjusted Count Value = EU / Scale Factor = -0.146 / 0.022148 = -6.59202
This calculation shows that the EU value shown in the filtered CSV file requires the use of a fractional ADC count value. Since the raw channel data is in the form of a signed 32-bit integer, there is no way for the raw channel file to account for the fractional ADC count value. Continuing to reverse calculate would result in the following:
- Convert fractional Adjusted Count Value to an integer value
Adjusted Count Value = -6.59202 --> -7
- Convert Adjusted Count Value to EU units
EU = Adjusted Count Value * Scale Factor = -7 * 0.022148 = -0.155036
This value does not match the filtered data value! (normal and expected)
- Calculate ADC Count Value
ADC Count Value = Adjusted Count Value + Data Zero = -7 + 49 = 42
- Convert signed ADC decimal value to signed 32-bit hex value
ADC Count Value = 42 (base 10) --> 0x00 2A
This value does not match the raw channel data! (normal and expected)

text: Psychiatrists Draw Parallel Between Bitterness, Mental Illness I thought this article was VERY interesting. The first few paragraphs appears below.... 5/19/2009, 3:25 p.m. PDT Los Angeles Times The Associated Press (AP) — We all know them, and, increasingly, psychiatrists know them: People who feel they have been wronged by someone and are so bitter they can barely function other than to ruminate about their circumstances. This behavior is so common -- and so deeply destructive -- that some psychiatrists are urging it be identified as a mental illness under the name post-traumatic embitterment disorder. The behavior was discussed before an enthusiastic audience Monday at the annual meeting of the American Psychiatric Association meeting in San Francisco. The disorder is modeled after post-traumatic stress disorder because it too is a response to a trauma that endures. People with PTSD are left fearful and anxious. Embittered people, however, are left seething for revenge. "They feel the world has treated them unfairly. It's one step more complex than anger. They're angry plus helpless," says Dr. Michael Linden, a German psychiatrist who named the behavior. Embittered people are typically good people who have worked hard at something important, such as a job or a relationship or activity, Linden says. When something unexpectedly awful happens -- they don't get the promotion, the wife files for divorce or they fail to make the Olympic team -- a profound sense of injustice overtakes them. ------------------------ The article goes on to say that such folks can not "let go" of these bitter feelings and continue their lives in this "hopeless" and "hateful" state. Some estimate 1 to 2 percent of the population are "embittered." Additionally, folks who were once kind and loving, but suffer an unfair experience and become bitter, might suffer from post-traumatic embitterment syndrome. THOUGHTS????

After a soft, artful and neo-classic intro, Mined Music’s electronic indie rock single, Rise Again, featuring Mr. Maph, Amanda Power and Dara Zusko, transgresses into a viscerally compelling ballad where the instrumentals are as complexly layered as the emotions.
With the vocalists finding harmony atop the fervent Slash-style solos towards the outro, Rise Again runs through with an all-consuming intensity that you’d be hardpressed to find elsewhere.
Mined Music, AKA Michael Newell, is a Munch-based producer and DJ who started his career as a hip hop and soul producer before making the switch to electronica in 2012. Rise Again is just one of the recent testaments to his talent in reflecting human emotion in instrumental progressions and compassionate lyricism. Mined Music’s aural maturity, professionalism and nuance are sure to see him go far, wherever he decides to take his sound next.
Rise Again is now available to stream and download on all major platforms via this link.
Indie artist KAIS has moved from strength to strength throughout their accoladed career, after quite literally putting their birthplace of Jordan on the map, they’ve started to garner plenty of International hype for their provocatively intuitive approach to production.
With every note placed to sting and draw emotion, their single “Take Me Home”, serves as the perfect introduction to the artist’s tenderly resolving sound.
With hints of Post Punk lingering in the progressive Indie Rock Ballad, there’s a chilling atmospheric air to Take Me Home which collides with the soft, reassuring vocals which use repetition of ‘take me home’ to quiescently emphasise the need to feel familiar ground beneath their feet.
If you’re not remotely teary by the outro, that has more to do with the state of your own soul rather than the talent of this truly exceptional artist who we’ll definitely be keeping on our radar to keep up to date with their progressively powerful aural prowess.
You can check out KAIS’ single Take Me Home for yourselves by heading over to Spotify.

To start in a somewhat blunt fashion, this game wonâ€™t appeal to everyone. In fact, Iâ€™ll go so far as to say it wonâ€™t appeal to a lot of people. However, true fans of the strategy and/or WWII and/or naval genres may find this enjoyable.
Taken back to 1942, you step into the shoes of Henry Walker, a young American naval recruit. As the Japanese launch their surprise attack on Pearl Harbour, your new military career is kicked into overdrive and before you know it, you have an entire fleet of ships at your command and orders to defeat the enemy at all costs. No problemo.
Unfortunately, talking the talk is much harder than walking the walk in Battlestations Midway. From the sudden attack on Pearl Harbour to the turning point of the war, the battle of Midway, youâ€™re dropped into 11 very large battles. You have the ability to jump in the driverâ€™s seat of every single unit at your disposal, from colossal carrier ships and sleek black submarines to feisty little planes.
Although you can direct your units using group and formation battle tactics, the ability to take over any individual unit can be daunting and distracting. It becomes far too easy to get caught up in submarine stealth tactics or fancy flying formations, while in the meantime your poor ships are being torn apart by enemy fire. To gamers such as myself who are unaccustomed to strategy games, Battlestations Midway makes for a steep learning curve.
My complete lack of military knowledge also came as quite a handicap. I almost failed the first mission simply because I didnâ€™t see a tiny little periscope sticking out of the water next to my boat. â€śQuick sailor, the F28 D9 class destroyer is targeting you!â€ť. Yep, it sounded bad, and judging by the state of my rapidly sinking ship, it was. Of course, it would have helped if I knew the F28 D9 destroyer Cruiser whatsherface was a submarine in the first place.
With a huge number of different units to choose from in each battle, it can be tempting to find a favourite boat or plane and simply stick with it. Each vehicle has a number of different strengths and weaknesses though, so learning which unit is suited to which situation is a must if you want to have any chance of progressing through the storyline or challenges. Those with short attention spans may find this a problem, so be ready to sit in for the long haul.
The graphics in Battlestations Midway are certainly good but on the whole donâ€™t look any more impressive than games like Far Cry Predator did on the original Xbox. This wouldnâ€™t be too much of a problem given that Predator looked pretty sweet, but this is a new game on a next generation console. Sadly, the cut scenes are of a fairly current gen standard too, dragging the entire graphical feel of the game down. An honourable mention should go to whoever was responsible for the sky and weather effects though. The clouds and sunsets generally look amazing, even to the point of distraction when flying your planes. There are only so many glimpses of epic cloud formations you can take when trying to pull a plane out of a harrowing dive.
The sound featured in the game leaves a bit to be desired. Thereâ€™s the obligatory stirring war anthem which is featured again, and again, and again. The voice acting borders on cheesy, which detracts from the actual storyline, but the sound effects are reasonable and stand up to inspection.
Aside from the main mission, Battlestations Midway also includes 12 extra challenges and the ability to face other players in head-to-head or co-operative style online battles. A decent collection of online and offline achievement awards and three difficulty settings round off the game in a satisfactory way.
For what it is, Battlestations Midway is a well-crafted game. Sadly, the general lack of appeal to anyone but naval enthusiasts will probably keep this game on the shelf far longer than it deserves. The ability to control each battle entirely from plane to boat to sub may scare off the casual gamer looking to delve into a new genre. As Captain Planet was fond of saying, â€śthe power is yoursâ€ť - and in Battlestations Midway, it really is. Put on your strategy hat and prepare for some fiendishly difficult and drawn-out combat.
Battlestations Midway is now available in New Zealand for the Xbox 360 and the PC.

Linglong Kong Mathematical and Statistical Sciences University of Alberta Thu, 02/24/2022 - 4:00pm Zoom Event Flyer (486.29 KB) Statistics and Optimization in Reinforcement Learning Reinforcement Learning (RL) is a mathematical framework to develop intelligent agents that can learn the optimal behaviour that maximizes the cumulative reward by interacting with the environment. There are numerous successful applications in many fields. Statistics and optimization are becoming important tools for RL. In this talk, we will look at two of our recent developments. In the first example, we employ distributional RL for efficient exploration. In distributional RL, the estimated distribution of value function models both the parametric and intrinsic uncertainties. We propose a novel and efficient exploration method for deep RL that has two components: a decaying schedule to suppress the intrinsic uncertainty and an exploration bonus calculated from the upper quantiles of the learned distribution. In the second example, we study damped Anderson mixing for deep RL. Anderson mixing has been heuristically applied to RL algorithms for accelerating convergence and improving the sampling efficiency of deep RL. Motivated by that, we provide a rigorous mathematical justification for the benefits of Anderson mixing in RL. Our main results establish a connection between Anderson mixing and quasi-Newton methods, prove that Anderson mixing increases the convergence radius of policy iteration schemes by an extra contraction factor, and propose a stabilization strategy. Besides the two examples, we will discuss some current progress and future directions on statistics and optimization in RL.


5 qts. with a new filter.
5 qts. with a new filter.
Use 10w30 weight in a 1995.
3.4 and 3.8 both use 10w30 and hold 4.3 quarts
Where is the oil sending unit at for a 2005 chevy monte carlo
where is the oil pressure switch located on a 2004 monte carlo
Oil pans don't smoke, it's coming from somewhere else.
how many quarts of oil are in a 2000 monte carlo ss3.8
yes next to tjhe oil filter on a 1997 monte carlo
The oil pump on a 2001 Chevy Monte Carlo is changed by draining the motor oil, removing the oil pan, and unbolting the oil pump. A new pump can then bolted in place, pan re-installed, and the oil refilled.
drop the oil pan and put in new screen and filter then put the pan the same way you took it off
look for a oil cap that you take off on the valve cover.
take the oil pan off and you will find it.
On the bottom of the engine.
which O ring? there are quite a few in the 98 monte.
5w30 is whats recommended from the factory.
It takes 5 quarts.
On my 01 it is behind the right front tire.
About £101000 or $2910097
5w30 is the gm spec
the oil pan has to come off the engine and then you will see the oil pump and the bolts that hold it in.
Inside the oil pan mounted to the engine block.
have to drop the transmission oil pan for access
left front of engine next to the oil filter ,...
Blown head gasket.
Low coolant perhaps, bad thermostat, low or old oil.
Look in your owners manual but usually 5w-30.
over full or wrong oil filter
The oil capacity of a 1995 Honda Foreman 400 is about 1 quart. The oil weight should be 10w-40. The oil will need to be ATV or Motorcycle oil.
When changing the oil of any car, it is important to know how much oil to put back into the vehicle. A 1995 Toyota Avalon has an oil capacity of five quarts of oil.
It's a metric bolt and probably about a 15 millimeter.
The 1995 Nissan Quest minivan has a 3.0 L V-6 engine. This vehicle's oil capacity is 5 quarts. The recommended oil for the 1995 Quest isÊ5W-30.
Drain all the oil out into a clean container and then put the correct amount back in. Do not overfill. Overfull is just as bad as not enough oil.
It's probably a head gasket problem.
With a filter change it will need 5 quarts, I prefer Valvoline.
ENGINE OIL CAPACITY 1995 Nissan/Datsun Truck Pickup 2WD 2.4L SFI 4cyl The Engine Oil Capacity 4 1/10 Quarts Including filter ENGINE OIL CAPACITY 1995 Nissan/Datsun Truck Pickup 2WD 3.0L SFI 6cyl The Engine Oil Capacity 4 3/10 Quarts Including filter
Usually, it's near the oil filter. It is on the block just behind the distributor.
SAE 5w30 any major brand. Use High Mileage oil if you have over 100,000 miles on the car.
remove the oil pan,them pump is located in there,should be held on with 2 bolts,either 10 or 13 mm
Oil capacity for the 95 road king is 4 quarts
The oil capacity of a 1995 Chevy S10 V6 4.3L is 4.5 quarts when the oil filter is also changed. Oil levels should be checked with the dip stick to verify levels.
on top of engine in front of throttlebody/intake manifold and directly behing oil fill cap
Just did my oil change, same car and engine, took 4 quarts.
oil capacity for this vehicle is 12 quarts, 14 if u change oil filter
A 1995 Ford Mustang with the 5.0L engine requires 4.0 quarts of oil.
Assuming you mean oil, four and one half.
it takes 3.2L

NASA's InSight airline finally eliminated the lens cover of its cameras, allowing the robotic explorer to take still clearer pictures of his new home. The space agency shared a series of high-resolution photos captured this week, including a view of the two small chips that led to the names of more than 2 million people on the red planet. InSight will soon begin to hear land images directly in front of her, so the team can select the best location to go down. Scroll to the video
NASA's InSight aircraft finally eliminated the lens cover of its cameras, allowing the robotic explorer to still take the lighter pictures of his new home. The space agency shared a series of high resolution photos captured this week, including a view of the two small chips that took names of more than 2 million people on the red planet "We're ON MARS, you guys", Twitter of InSight account published today. "You are all honorary Martian." The latest images are far from their first snapshots, which were dark for dust and protective covers. Now, the provider is showing that he is ready to start working. "Today we can see the first looks of our work space," said Bruce Benerdy, the chief investigator of the NASA Jet Propulsion Lab mission. At the beginning of next week, let's imagine it more accurately and create a complete mosaic. The robotic arm can extend almost 6 feet in length, and will soon be used to carry the science instruments out of the platform and place them on the ground.
InSight is loading two chips that contain the names of more than 2 million people (on the left). "We are in MARS, you guys", the Twitter account of InSight published today. "You are all honorary Martians." The shipper also cut a new image of his robotic arm, this time showing a much clearer view. This process will take two to three months. The other InSight camera, which is underneath the platform, will also be used to take pictures of your workspace, but the instrument's Outboard camera has gotten a bit of dust somewhere in the path. "We had a protective layer in the camera of the outline of the instrument, but in some way the dust still managed to reach the lens," said Tom Hoffman, InSight's project director. Although this is unfortunate, it will not affect the role of the camera, which is to take the images of the zone in front of the zone in front of the landing where our instruments will eventually be placed. "So far, InSight has been operating with the utmost care; the team is scheduled to stop what you are doing and ask for help if you find something unexpected.
The robotic arm can stretch about 6 feet in length and will soon be used to carry the science instruments out of the platform and place them on the ground. You will see a partial view of the THIRD INSTRUMENT INSIGHT platform
The landing that could reveal the way the Earth was formed: InSight will land for the Mars landing on November 26. Three key instruments will allow the InSight aircraft to "take the pulse" of the red planet: Seismometer: the InSight aircraft takes a seismometer, SEIS, which hears the pulse of Mars. The seismometer records the waves that cross the inner structure of a planet. Studying seismic waves tells us what could be the waves. On Mars, scientists suspect that the culprits may be marsupials or meteorites that hit the surface. Heat probe: the InSight thermal flux probe, HP3, immerses more deeply than any other scoop, simulacrum or probe on Mars before. You will investigate how much heat is still coming out of Mars. Radio antennas: Like Earth, Mars bends a bit while it rotates around its axis. To study this, two radio antennas, which are part of the RISE instrument, accurately track the location of the probe. This helps scientists to test the planet's reflections and tells them how deep inner structure affects the planet's movement around the Sun. This process led to some short delays in the reception of images, which were expected to be returned this past weekend. "We have done extensive tests on Earth," said Hoffman. But we know that everything is a bit different for the Mars rook, so the faults are not unusual. They can delay operations, but we are not hurried. We want to be sure that every operation we carry out on Mars is safe, so we have made sure that our security monitors are initially sensitive. "Inight touchdown last month marks the eighth landing of NASA on the red planet. We hope the mission will be the first to unlock geological secrets of the planet's hidden nucleus, using a probe to dig 16ft (5m) below the surface.
InSight played in a region known as Elysium Planitia. Its location can be seen on the previous map, not far from the landing site of the Curiosity 2012 mission, the latest NASA probe to land on Mars
This image shows some of the visible instruments in the selfie image sent back to Earth by InSight early last Tuesday. With InSight planted successfully on the red planet, it will soon be able to dig to analyze the mysterious world beneath the Martian surface. "In the years and in the coming months the history books will be rewritten about the interior of Mars," said Hoffman during the conference. The team will now explore the right place so that InSight puts its seismometers so that it can begin collecting data. "Now that we are on the surface of Mars, we have a lot of work to do," said Elizabeth Barrett, InSight Science Instruments Ops, during the wheel of press
The first instrument that InSight proved was its camera – although the lens cover is still empty. "My first photo in #Mars!" The InSight account tweeted after the landing, along with a granulated photo of a reddish brown background. The space agency launched a high resolution version not long after. The robot will go through an initial evaluation phase to verify its general health and the health of its instruments before it can go to the implementation phase. A set of instruments, this process should only take between two and three months. InSight will place its seismometer and only once the equipment is happy with its location and its initial operations, it will return to the platform to obtain its thermal and wind shields. sit at the top of the seismometer to protect. The shovel then will collect the heat probe to bring to the surface, before beginning its historical excavation. Obviously, once it is resolved, Barrett says that "we will be sitting again listening to the earthquakes of Mars.Leave a comment

Tanga Cement has broken ground on a new kiln line project that will reportedly add 775 000 tpa clinker capacity to the existing plant. This marks the start of the second expansion project at the plant, following commissioning of a second cement mill and packing line in 2009/10. Recently, Tanga Cement has been importing clinker to meet local demand. With this expansion, the plant’s production capacity will reach 1.275 million tpa of clinker.
“Apart from increasing our clinker manufacturing capacity to match the current cement grinding, this project will also reduce cement manufacturing cost, improve quality and increase cement availability,” Tanga Cement Board Chairman Lau Masha said at the ground-breaking ceremony.
The project will be carried out with Chinese firm, Sinoma. It is scheduled for completion in 2015.
Tanzania’s annual cement demand is estimated at around 3 million t. Cement production capacity is undergoing something of a growth spurt at the moment, as new players enter the market and existing producers expand their facilities.

NASA Astronaut Poised To Set New Space Record
A NASA astronaut is on track to set a new record in space: the longest single spaceflight by a woman.
Astronaut Christina Koch launched to the International Space Station last month. The agency set a new schedule for the crew and announced she will stay on the station until February 2020.
That puts Koch on-track to beat the previous record for a female astronaut -- Peggy Whitson spent 288 days on the station. Koch will come close to Scott Kelly’s "Year in Space" which was 340 days.
“I don’t necessarily count days or numbers, it’s definitely very early in the process to talk about records, but I really just take it one day at a time,” said Koch on a call from the station.
NASA is studying how the human body reacts to extended stays in space. Usually, astronauts spend about six months on the station. Extended stays in space will help NASA prepare for long-duration trips to places like Mars.
"[The agency] is looking to build on what we have learned with additional astronauts in space for more than 250 days," said Jennifer Fogarty, NASA's chief scientist of the Human Research Program. "Christina’s extended mission will provide additional data for NASA’s Human Research Program and continue to support future missions to the Moon and Mars.”
The extension also gives NASA more time to approve commercial partners SpaceX and Boeing.The two companies are planning to launch astronauts to the station as early as this summer but have faced multiple delays.
NASA also announced astronaut Jessica Meir will launch to the station in September on her first spaceflight.

Aegon has revealed its plans for a new service to allow clients to self-direct their investments whilst retaining an adviser relationship.
The new proposition, launching early next year, will sit alongside the existing Arc platform and is aimed at allowing clients with smaller amounts of investable assets to invest directly whilst pointing them to the adviser as they accumulate wealth.
The service will include Aegon branding with advisers given the option to co-brand the online system. Advisers will not have to pay a fee for the service with clients paying the usual Arc platform charges.
Clients will be signposted to speak to their adviser as they encounter changes in their financial circumstances or lifestyle.
The system will offer layers of access with clients either allowed to invest directly themselves or simply monitor their investment performance, depending on what the adviser agrees.
Aegon chief executive Adrian Grace says the new service is designed with the growing client usage of mobile and tablets in mind.
He says: “If you’re not going to have your platform on a tablet you’re in trouble. If it’s only on a computer, it isn’t going to work. It’s got to be on a mobile and it’s got to be on a tablet.”
He adds that the proposition should help to introduce advice as savers reach retirement to clients who might otherwise have become orphaned.
He says: “Our proposition is based around the needs of our customers, but the advised market is absolutely crucial to our success. We have built our new proposition with a shared experience in mind and with clear advice points, where we believe advice is essential.

NICE guidance aims to protect unborn babies from tobacco harm
Midwives should encourage pregnant women to have their carbon monoxide levels tested to determine whether they smoke or are exposed to secondhand smoke, new guidance suggests.
Smoking during pregnancy is known to increase the risk of miscarriage, premature birth, still-birth and sudden unexpected infant death, as well as respiratory and psychological problems in childhood.
Active smokers typically have high carbon monoxide levels, but these are also found in people who are regularly exposed to secondhand smoke, such as those living with smokers.
New guidance from the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) suggests that testing pregnant mothers would help to ensure they receive appropriate support they need to quit for good or reduce their exposure to secondhand smoke.
The guidance says that midwives should urge women to have the breath test at their first antenatal appointment.
Smokers who are pregnant or have recently given birth should be offered a range of options to help them quit, including referral to NHS Stop Smoking Services, contact details for the NHS Pregnancy Smoking Helpline, and personalised, non-judgemental support from professionals.
Partners who smoke should also be advised to contact NHS Stop Smoking Services for advice on how to quit.
The guidance also recommends that healthcare and smoking cessation staff receive formal training to help them give advice in a non-judgemental way.
Professor Mike Kelly, director of NICE's Centre for Public Health Excellence, said: "We've known for many years that smoking and passive smoking can cause serious illnesses like lung cancer. During pregnancy, smoking puts the health of the women and her unborn baby at great risk both in the short and long term, and small children who are exposed to secondhand smoke are more likely to suffer from respiratory problems."
The professor insisted that the carbon monoxide test is not designed to "penalise" women who smoke, but to show them how smoking and passive smoking raise their levels of the gas.
Deborah Arnott, chief executive of Action on Smoking and Health (ASH), said: "Only a very small proportion of women smokers carry on smoking after getting pregnant, but those who do tend to be the heaviest and most addicted smokers who need support and help from healthcare professionals to quit.
"We welcome the NICE guidance which is designed to be practical and encouraging and not to condemn pregnant smokers for their addiction."
Robin Hewings, Cancer Research UK's tobacco control manager, commented: "It is good news that NICE has made such a thorough examination of the different options to help pregnant women quit smoking. Smoking in pregnancy does real harm to unborn children - including premature birth and still-birth as well as sudden unexpected death in infancy.
"Pregnant women should receive as much help as possible to give up so they can help give the healthiest possible start to their children. It's also a good idea to help fathers to quit so children benefit from a smokefree household, reducing the risk of them becoming smokers later in life."

Our Top 5 Trainers
As fashionbeans.com recently weighed up “5 of the Best Sneakers of All Time”, it is a good opportunity to review our own choices of the best footwear on the current market. The key to a good pair of trainers is a combination of style, durability, comfort and the adaptability to be worn on different occasions. This practicality is sourced from the trainer’s deep routed history in sport where they first rose to prominence, and with the help of global sporting icons they have fuelled a multibillion-pound industry. Their expansion into high end fashion is endorsed by the fact that the likes Louis Vuitton and Armani have made their own in recent years. With this in mind, here is our selection.
The timeless style of the Samba is evident in the fact it was first designed back in 1950 and remains one of the best selling shoes around to this day. Its sporty heritage means it is the ultimate in casual trainers and its simple design means it can be worn with any number of different outfits. Don’t expect the Samba to disappear any time soon either, it is a trainer which has been around for 60 years and still never looks out of context. If you are looking for a trainer that you can rely on, why not look at our selection here.
In much the same way as the Samba, the Roshe has emerged from a sport-minded design to tap into everyday fashion and is now just as popular with a pair of jeans as it is with a pair of shorts. It shares some of the characteristics of the Samba too- its simplistic design and appearance give it the touch of elegance that helps pull it off with everyday clothes. It is one of the more recent designs on this list, but has enjoyed a hugely successful period already and spawned many different colour variations for buyers to choose from. Time will tell as to whether it can maintain its popular status like the Samba, but it has to be one of the most innovative designs of recent times. If you are looking for a pair of trainers with a contemporary abstract design that will hold their own in years to come, this pair is a safe bet.
Vans have built themselves a solid reputation since their emergence in the skateboarding community in 1960’s California; the trainers are renowned for comfort and robustness. Much like all classic trainers that have longevity on the high street, the Milton trainer carries a simplistic design which allows it to live through different trends and ages of fashion. Its traditional association with shorts and sun has grown to include rugged jeans and winter weather, amongst many other suitable occasions. If you are looking for versatile footwear then you don’t need to look any further than our range of the Milton’s.
Just like the legendary footballer Johan Cruyff, the trainers carrying the Dutch man’s name are high quality. Designed specifically with that in mind, Cruyff’s range of trainers have in turn become fashionable casual wear and the success of the Recopa model boils down to the use of high quality materials which give them stand out durability and great individuality. The trainers traditionally include small unique details such as the leather trim on the heel and tongue of the Recopa, or with details such as diamond stitches on other designs in the collection. These diverse characteristics are perhaps what make them such a popular item amongst sport and fashion enthusiasts all over the world. To stand out from the crowd and own a high end pair of trainers, our Cruyff range is the perfect place to look.
When you think of shoes that have merged sport and casual wear there really is no better example than the Marcel’s. The brand’s sporting tradition dates back to Rene Lacoste’s tennis career in the 1930’s which inspired the lightweight designs of today which are equally comfortable if using for sport or for walking down town in smart wear. Lacoste have become the go-to brand for white trainers and would be a perfect purchase for the upcoming spring and summer seasons. The world famous crocodile logo is a small detail on the side of this trainer which should ensure it continues to be one of the more popular items of footwear for buyers in the future.
