So, having said all that, finding the right books can be troublesome. Big book stores are frequently understocked and overpriced. And many cheap books are poor excuses for literature, or they're so commercialized you feel like you're watching television instead of reading. How can someone looking to build a wonderful library for their children (on a budget) find good books?
We have some ideas (and even if you're a collector we might have a new idea or two you haven't tried)...
Get familiar with some really good authors/ illustrators
I'm not saying the only good books are written by well known authors, I have lots of favorite books that were written by authors I don't know much about and illustrated by illustrators I'd never before heard of... I'm just saying if your out on the hunt for good books it a WHOLE LOT easier if you can recognize the names of tried and true authors and illustrators. There are certain authors who write LOTS of books and if you know you like their work- then it's likely you & your children will enjoy books by them you've never heard of before but happen upon. -r
Find characters you and your children LOVE
Books with great characters are BIG MONEY for publishers and BIG FUN for book collectors (kids or adults). When I was a kid I wanted to get my hands on every "little critter" book out there, and there are lots. It's a great way to encourage a love of reading in your child and it's a great way to start building an at home library. If you know your child loves Curious George keep your eyes open for those books... and you'll find them all over the place, from your grocery store... to your book store... to your thrift store... etc. -r
Advice on buying from book orders...
Stop by your local used book store!
Now, to be clear, I am not talking about thrift stores here. That's a whole 'nother ball park. I'm talking stores that specialize in used books. Confession: I just checked the one in my town out a few months ago. Next confession: it is totally awesome and I feel so stupid that I haven't been going there forever! As you can see, at 'my cool book store' (that's what Robyn and I call it) you can buy books, sell books to them, or trade books-- and (I didn't know this before I went in) they have brand new books too! At a discounted rate! (At least 50% off-- gasp!) You must go see what your local used book store has to offer! It may just be the hidden paradise mine was! -w
Buying Books at your Local Thrift Store
1- Stop by often. You are more likely to find great books if you're able to go once a week, or once every two weeks.
2- Go through all the books. There is A LOT of garbage you're going to sift through to find any treasures. Most of the books on the shelves are ones I don't want to take home. But I usually find 5 or 10 titles that are really great and at fifty cents a book... that's a great deal!
I have found MANY treasured books at thrift stores, sometimes books that are rare out of print copies. -r
Library Sales!
This is a great way to find second hand books (library bound... which is so great) at excellent prices. You do have to do a little leg work though. Find out when your local library sells books. Then go (right when the sale opens). That's it. My library always has it's BIG sale at the beginning of September (the rack photographed above is up throughout the year). The big sale coordinates with the towns big yearly celebration. I know some larger libraries have quarterly book sales... probably some have them even more often than that. And there's a bonus that all the proceeds go back into your very own library! -r
Yard Sales-- for real! Check this out!
Host a neighborhood book swap with friends!
My little sister and her friends have been having clothing swap parties for years... last summer when doing a bit of book organization in my house (aka filling boxes with duplicate copies of books I've picked up and paperback novels I read once and won't ever read again to make more room for all the kids books I'm always bringing home) I suddenly thought "why not be like Bonnie, but instead of exchanging clothes with my friends we can exchange books!" So I hosted my first neighborhood book swap. It was SO MUCH FUN. And there were MANY MANY MANY books. Everyone brought lots and everyone left with something new to them. All of the extras that nobody wanted were donated to our small towns start up library. (Along with books, everyone brought a tasty something to add to the pot luck treat table... that was such a fun afternoon!) -rclick here. -w
So, we hope these ideas will help you find some great new, or just new-to-you books. Happy shopping! Happy reading! Happy weekend! Remember if you're in her area on Saturday, stop by and see Robyn at Girls Day Out, she has a lot of fun stuff planned!

"I think American Christianity is way more American than Christian."
— Janice Lagata
Welcome to the divide
A poignant and insightful commentary on race, religion, womanhood and their intersectionality.
In this collection of poetry, Janice Lagata grapples with what it is to be Black, a woman, and a Christian in an America that has proven to be hostile to the first two identities and distorted on the third.
A wordsmith whose wordplay is so purposeful—sharp and incisive, yet emotive—Lagata challenges herself, questions (white) Christian America, laments broken relationships, and wrestles with God, all while examining the divide, not just in America, but in ourselves.
Available on Amazon and wherever books are sold.

Gordon Stettinius is a photographer and artist and educator living in Richmond, Virginia.
Stettinius founded Candela Books in 2010 in order to publish the work of New York photographer Gita Lenz. Lenz had been an accomplished photographer from the 1940s-1960s and had been exhibited at several notable institutions, the Museum of Modern Art and Brooklyn Museum of Art among others, but yet her work had never been presented in book form. Realizing that Lenz was a compelling individual, not to mention an incredible printer, and yet her work was somewhat forgotten, Stettinius felt that editing and publishing a book of her work would help bring her some of the attention that she deserved. Lenz passed away in 2011 at the age of 100 but she did get to see her book, which was published several months before her death. And a solo show of her work was also mounted in conjunction with the book at Gitterman Gallery in New York.
Subsequent books published by Candela Books are Salt & Truth by Shelby Lee Adams and Sunburn by Chris McCaw. Each of these projects are singular works by exceptional artists. And each of these monographs has been warmly received by the photography community. Candela Books intends to continue bringing the work of notable photographers to the attention of the larger world.
Stettinius opened Candela Books + Gallery in 2011. The thinking at the time was that the book publishing was bringing so many interesting photographers and artists to Candela's attention but unfortunately there are only so many books a small and independent publisher can manage at a time. So, the decision was made to start exhibiting work related to book projects and to do so along with exhibitions by other notable, nationally recognized artists and photographers. The gallery is located in a renovated building in the Downtown Arts District of Richmond, Virginia.
An exhibiting photographer himself, Stettinius has had a penchant for low tech and homemade and vintage cameras. And he continues his work on various projects alongside the Candela projects. Teaching darkroom courses at Virginia Commonwealth University, Stettinius is fighting the good fight still, trying to keep old and alternative processes alive and well.

How the API key works? I must have one to use script?
Hi… Please send a message to me through the account you purchased.
Actually i didn't buy yet. Just as an information, thanks!
You can also use your own API key according to your map license needs. Or you can use the system's own API key. If you want to use your own API key, you can add it from the script panel. For the Google Map API, google gives you a $ 200 free credit that you can use for a year.
Thanks for the information limxona!
You're welcome…

Hi… 45Tilt Capture addon is not compatible with firefox 71. I will update this as soon as possible. Use version 69 of firefox during this time.
This addon is only required to create 45Tilt maps. There will be a new update coming soon and no more add-on will be needed.
If you want to send me the coordinates and I can generate the 45Tilt maps for you.
Thanks, I couldn't get it to work on any version mate. Tried 57 and newest.
It worked until version 70th. Firefox is updating too much. It is not possible to catch up with the speed of Firefox. But I found a different and best way to create a map image. I will soon install these features.Here your 45Tilt map images… https://we.tl/t-BetCvBbBmj
Hello, limxona. Any idea when you'll be implementing the new 45Tilt Maps add-on since Firefox no longer allows your add-on to be installed?
Hi… you can use Firefox version 60. Soon I'll install a new version of my new template and this problem will be completely eliminated. No add-ons will be needed anymore.
the LmX Earth Zoom Map Genarator has stopped working. when I go to the page, it says there is a problem and the map no longer appears. Is there another map generator? please.

Hi!! I bought the add-on but it doesn't generate images. AE crashes. My coordinates are 42,325570, -2,130585. Can you send me the images?
Hi… I am sending now. But, can you send me a screenshot to see the problem you're having? email@example.com
You can also create your maps using the "Tools / Tools \ Browser Generator / LmX Earth Zoom Map Genarator v1.4.html" file.
Now completed! Very beautiful You can do fine tuning with the tool It is a very nice Template! Thank you very much
by Google Translate
You're welcome… And Thank you too…
I am looking at purchasing your template which looks amazing! I need to know if I can add graphic area overlays to the map. For example marking Brooklyn with a red overlay as you fly down to New York.
PS- I just saw the answer to my question after looking at you video again 25 seconds in ! Sorry to bother you.
Ok… Have a nice day…

Make your customizations easily with Earth Zoom Pro X Preset Tool (Script Panel). Save time with this tool that will guide you step by step.
Zoom in/out to just one location if you wish, or zoom in and zoom out 12 locations at one video.
Hey I'm having issues with the "Open Coordinate Finder" selection tool. Nothing happens when I click it. I went to google maps and copy pasted coordinates from there and I went to press "Generate" and nothing happened again.
Hi… Are you a Mac user?
Hi again… The folder containing the template files should not contain any characters other than English characters. Like languages with Japanese, Korean, Hindi or other special characters.
Also, some Mac OS users need to approve the Map Generator application for the Catalina version.
Right-click "Tools \ EZPX Map Generator \ MacOS \ EZPXMapGeneratorMacOS.app" and click Open. Mac will ask you if it will run the application. Confirm this. I think the problem you are having is related to this… I will solve this problem for all Catalina users as soon as possible.
Contact me for more. firstname.lastname@example.com
Hi, limxona! I'm having the same problem as the above MAC user. I'm using macOS Mojave. I've tried open the "\Tools\EZPX Map Generator\resources\app\js\style.js" but it opens up in Firefox quoting "mapTypeStyles = "";"
any ideas what to do to get around this. Mike
Hi. Why did you want to open the Style.js file?
I thought it was the ""Tools \ EZPX Map Generator \ MacOS \ EZPXMapGeneratorMacOS.app" Anyways, like I said I'm having the same problem as the Mac user above that nothing happens when I press "Generate."
Have you received any warning? Did you follow the help video I prepared for Mac users in help videos?
For some Mojave and Catalina users require special permissions.
Wasn't aware of an Help video for Mac users! I was going through each of the tutorials in sequence! I'll look for it tomorrow and let you know. Thanks.
Hello. I've looked in all the Help tutorial folders and there isn't a help video for MAC users unless you've given it a name that isn't recognisable.
Hi… No file named "(MacOS) For Run Script.mp4" in the "Help \ STEP 0_Scripting" folder? When did you download the template?
For faster help, please write to me. firstname.lastname@example.com
Hello! is this product suitable for Prime Pro?
Hi… Sorry it's not suitable.
I understand correctly that in (AF) I correct. and then export to Adobe Premier Pro?
Do I understand correctly that this package is only for (AF)? should I substitute everything in (AF) and then transfer the movie to Prpro ???
Yes. Only for AE… You have to export movie for PrPro. It is very simple to use. You can contact me when you have difficulty. email@example.com
But tell me, right then, after this effect, will it be possible to insert a smooth translation into the prime pro video clip? after the map and city selection ?
After the zoom, you can wait as much as you wish. You can set enough time for the your transition effect.
Good afternoon! I bought the program Earth Zoom Pro X, but the Open Cordination Finder button does not work for me. Please specify if this program works for Windows?
Hi… It works for Windows. Please check the folder names. Do not use any characters other than English characters. Move the template folder to the desktop and try again here.
Please let me know if it works. email@example.com
Problem solved.
Hello, I emailed you and you said to message you here.
" trying to do something pretty simple and can't seem to get the basic animation. With only 1 coordinate set, after I enter it and click generate, it does not pull up the dialog box that shows the images being created. Likewise there is no folder created.
I'm on AE CC (12)"
Problem solved. It was a problem caused by the shared network. Thanks for the cooperation.
Hi, this is a great product. I used it a few years ago and decided to use this newer version for a new project. Your demo video shows the ability to move from one location to another without having to zoom all the way back out to the globe. I have 12 locations however I have 2 locations in the same city and 2 locations close to each other on an island…How do I transition to another location without zooming all the way out for a particular location? I did not see a help video for this (unless I simply missed it). Thank you for your assistance.
Hi… sorry for late. You can do this by watching the help video "STEP 4.2.2 Transition Without Globe-Plane.mp4" in the "Help \ STEP 4.2_Zoom Out" folder. This is a very simple process, you will just adjust the sliders.
You can write to me for more help. firstname.lastname@example.com
I am using CS6, and have imported your template into my current project. I have saved my project, but am getting the "Save project file to the template folder" error when I try to run the script. How can I fix this?
Hi… To run the script, the project file must be in its project folder. Move the template folders to your current project folder and re-import the template to your project. The file and folder structure should be similar. Or import it after generating your maps and making your settings.
I think that's what I did. I took the folder that I get from the ZIP, and I put it in the folder where my project file is. I didn't touch the structure of the Earth Zoom folder or files. I then imported the Earth Zoom AEP file into my project file. Is that wrong? This is what I did, and got the error message. I don't think importing after generating will work for me, as I need to be flexible for my clients, and if I need to change location or something, I would have to go back from scratch – not something I want to have to do.
I tried it and it worked right. It was true what you did. What error or warning do you get? Can you send me a screenshot? Or we can connect with you remotely. https://www.teamviewer.com/en/. You can send me your ID and Pass information. firstname.lastname@example.com
Hi. Great work on your template! Quick pre-sales question: Can I zoom in to general wide video of Europe highlight few countries and then from this position zoom-in to closer view to another country in Europe highlight 4 cities and then zoom-in to a building inside one of those 4 cities?
Sorry…. The animation you want is not suitable for my template.

Hi, Thanks for the great work on porting jQuery TreeView to pure Angular... If possible to port the drag & drop feature as well As a sidenote, maybe add TreeView category to this feedback page Thank you!
It takes lot of time for rending thousands of records from client side, some times browse gets crashed, causes performance issue. Virtualization support will help us to overcome this issue, as the same provided in Angular 1.x and Kendo MVC controls. Can you please provide virtualization support for Autocomplete & Multi Select controls.
Currently it seems that the columns widths are just divided up between the available width and the number of columns. Under that circumstance I am unable to specify a smaller width for a column. I would like for the column to adjust to the title at a minimum. Also it would be nice if we could drag the columns widths bigger or smaller.
At the moment, the selected row is not cleared when the data changes (or we change the page). There is no way to clear the selection in the grid, which would be useful when 1 data from a grid depends on the selection from the parent grid. Having an API to change the selected row, would help.
Modeled after the jQuery widget counterpart: http://www.telerik.com/kendo-ui/treelist
The component feature set will be based on what the jQuery Scheduler widget offers: http://www.telerik.com/kendo-ui/scheduler
Modeled after the Kendo UI widget counterpart: http://www.telerik.com/kendo-ui/treeview
Modeled after the Kendo UI widget counterpart: http://www.telerik.com/kendo-ui/editor
Scrolling like this : http://legacy.datatables.net/release-datatables/examples/basic_init/scroll_y_infinite.html Say you have 100.000+ rows of data. With classic or virtual scrolling, you allow your user to go to the last page very easily. It ends up with huge skip parameter, and disastrous load times from the DB. You don't want users to be able to run queries which are at the same time useless and very time-consuming server-side. What you really want is for your user to be able to browse a bit of the data with fast queries, and if he wants something else, he should filter data. Infinite scrolling gives him just that feeling.
similar to the Kendo UI Window for the jquery version (http://demos.telerik.com/kendo-ui/window/index) very usefull and helpfull component!
Need the ability to reorder columns and access the current configuration to store and load on next time user access the site. Already exists on other products on the market and Kendo Grid for jQuery http://demos.telerik.com/kendo-ui/grid/column-reordering
In current version of Kendo UI for Angular 2, there is no control for Menu or Navigation bar. It would be nice to have a separate component for routing
Any plans to implement the listview with Row Templates?
As the DatePicker and TimePicker components are now available, there is still one missing: the DateTimePicker component.
Our team would love to be able to use a Material theme, similar to the theme found in Kendo JQuery.
Similar to the context menu in the jQuery suite - http://demos.telerik.com/kendo-ui/menu/context-menu
Modeled after the jQuery widget counterpart: http://www.telerik.com/kendo-ui/splitter
It would be great if grid component has option to filter date and numeric columns by range.
The normal DropDown with its feautures would allow do multiselect its items or if the standard Multiselect would allow to avoid the linebreaks. A possible solution would be to add only one label with the text of the selected Items and an ellipsis when there get selected too many items to show all text, then you show the text hole text in the tooltip. https://github.com/telerik/kendo-angular2/issues/160

Customer Testimonials:
"Nice site. I just found it today."
- Raymond Cartwright
Chariots of Fire
One of the most inspiring films of all time!
The inspiring true story of two runners from the United Kingdom, Harold Abrahams and Eric Liddell. Contrasting the spiritual motives of one man versus the more selfish goals of the other, their fierce, personal competition ends up uniting them in a great victory in the 1924 Olympics.
The come-from-behind winner of the 1981 Oscar for best picture, Chariots of Fire either strikes you as either a cold exercise in mechanical manipulation or as a tale of true determination and inspiration. The heroes are an unlikely pair of young athletes who ran for Great Britain in the 1924 Paris Olympics: devout Protestant Eric Liddell (Ian Charleson), a divinity student whose running makes him feel closer to God, and Jewish Harold Abrahams (Ben Cross), a highly competitive Cambridge student who has to surmount the institutional hurdles of class prejudice and anti-Semitism. There's delicious support from Ian Holm (as Abrahams's coach) and John Gielgud and Lindsay Anderson as a couple of Cambridge fogies.
Vangelis's soaring synthesized score, which seemed to be everywhere in the early 1980s, also won an Oscar. Chariots of Fire was the debut film of British television commercial director Hugh Hudson (Greystoke) and was produced by David Puttnam.
DVD Features:Commentary by director Hugh Hudson
"Wings on Their Heels: The Making of Chariots of Fire"
"Chariots of Fire - A Reunion" (Filmed during afternoon tea on Lord Puttnam's estate)
16 minutes of deleted scenes

Chariots of Fire - DVD – Gail Z, 01/25/2013
This movie packs such an impact! We see the contrast in the lives of these young men: one who knows his God and knows his identity and worth in Him, while the other who is one who is Jewish but doesn't know Him personally, strives and struggles with his worth and is driven to prove himself. It is a precious account which is clean and well filmed! Jewel!

(no written review given)
Chariots of Fire - DVD – Kenneth C, 09/06/2011
This is one great movie and testimony. While we many Christians today do not treat Sunday as the sabbath, the young man in this true story did. Thus the lesson to be learned is to follow your conscience and do what is right and trust God with the results. While there are few swear words in it, I could hardly catch them to know for sure they were said and it was not those playing parts of Christians who used them.
Chariots of Fire - DVD – Chad W, 06/22/2011
(no written review given)
Chariots of Fire - DVD – Dianna E, 02/03/2009
I'm extremely disappointed with the movie. The movie contains several cuss words and takes God's name in vain on many occassions. On one hand you can really feel the love and devotion for God from the character Eric Liddel, but because of the profanity in the movie I cannot recommend it. I am also disappointed in Christian Cinema.com for even having a movie that has profanity in it on their website that boasts Christian family friendly movies. Because of this recent experience I am now leary of renting future movies for fear of them not being profanity free.
Chariots of Fire - DVD – Linda C, 10/30/2008
Great movie. Never had watched it before. My son really liked it.

Template:FFX-2 Oversoul Enemies
- Normal: "A venomous fiend whose scythe-like forelegs can cut anything to shreds. Beware its Blade Rondo attack which takes full advantage of these lethal appendages."
Oversoul: "A fiend with a lot of pent up rage. Perhaps this is why it's so quick to counterattack after being hit. Even worse, it uses magic."
— Scan
The King Takouba is an enemy in Final Fantasy X-2. Its normal attacks inflict the Poison status in non-Oversoul form, but when Oversouled do not inflict Poison status. It is weak to Fire-elemental attacks such as Flametongue and Firaga.
While many enemies are about the same difficulty when Oversouled, the King Takouba is without doubt more difficult to defeat when Oversouled, when it counterattacks against everything, and can inflict various statuses on the party. Having Ribbons or status proof abilities help with dealing with it at that time.
Blade Rondo has a damage constant double that of its regular attacks. Its Oversoul attacks Frenzied Edge and Rip to Shreds are both Fractional damage attacks, both taking 1/4 of the target's HP, with the latter also inflicting Itchy status.
At the beginning of battle, or once Blade Rondo has been performed, its normal attack sequence begins, choosing a random step in the sequence: three normal attacks then Blade Rondo. This is unfortunately only of help in determining average damage, as there is not much chance of predicting where the sequence will begin.
While King Takouba's Oversouled, it counterattacks with Frenzied Edge whenever it receives HP or MP damage, or is attacked by a character or monster. Oversouled attack sequence is random, with some of the outcomes being conditional on Poison status on the target. It has a 5/12 chance of a normal attack, 1/6 chance of Blade Rondo, 1/12 chance of Rip to Shreds, and 1/12 chance each of the Status effect-causing spells Blind, Silence, Confuse, and Bio (damage + Poison status). It checks Poison status on the characters to determine whether to cast its Status ailments; if the character is Poisoned, it will do a normal attack instead.
As it only checks Poison status, a character could conceivably cast Poison on the party, or leave it on once the King Takouba casts it, and thereafter avoid the other Status ailments. This is beneficial to the capabilities of a party without Status resists, but apart from reducing counterattacks against physical attacks missed because of Blind, is also beneficial to the creature's damage potential.
Creature Creator
Fiend Tale
In the Fiend Tale endings, a notable King Takouba was a legendary fiend whose apparent immortality resulted into becoming the sword of Lord Mi'ihen. After Mi'ihen died, King Takouba reverted to his original state and attempted to keep his fiend bloodlust in check before Mi'ihen seals his ally into his weapon form to await one who would inherit Mi'ihen's will.

Here is a description of what is like to take part in one of my Scrum.org Professional Scrum Master (PSM) courses if you do not have a software or IT background:
"I really enjoyed the PSM course. As someone with a non-software/IT background, I was a bit apprehensive that I was going to feel out of place in the course, but I wasn't like that at all.
There was a good mix of people, with varying levels of understanding of Scrum at the start of the class.
Simon was very good at explaining the concepts and how it all works together. By the end of the course, I had an excellent understanding of Scrum, the different roles and responsibilities, and especially the Scrum Master role.
I recommend reading the Scrum Guide beforehand, although it's a bit hard to grasp the first time around. I read it again after the course and it all just clicked into place and made sense then.
I managed to pass the Professional Scrum Master I (PSM I) assessment first time. The questions on the assessment were a bit harder and more practical than on the practice/open assessment, but just bear in mind the different roles in Scrum and the wording of the questions. They must "talk Scrum". You'll know what I mean once you've done the course :)."

She asked for comments, thoughts and drabbles. I'm not good with writing drabbles but this one just jumped into my mind and wanted to be written.
Here it is:
Title: Haven (Zeke's POV)
Fandom: The Faculty / Casey & Zeke (no pairing)
Rating: G
Author's note: a drabble, written for aliensouldream
Disclaimer: Sadly The Faculty and the boys are not mine ;)
This evening Casey showed up with a white rat. It almost made me cry … almost. No one knows how alone I sometimes feel without my little friend. The only one who knew me inside out. The only one who made my life bearable. And I've killed him.
Casey has smiled when he carefully put him into his cage. His eyes so curious, his muzzle sniffing in the air. I smiled back at Casey and asked: "Want a beer?"
Now, almost four hour later he's still here. We haven't talked much, but it feels good just to hang out with him.

Are Your Translated Business Cards Up To Standard?
Here Are Eight Tips
As someone who regularly conducts business in numerous countries in four languages, allow me to present some tips that you should understand and practice when translating your business card.
We live in an age when many of us feel the need to travel the world for meetings, negotiations and business purposes. During the course of such travels, one is sure to encounter plenty of people, all of whom are capable of giving recommendations, pass on work or fulfill some sort of a business need. In order to ensure that you occupy a place in their circle of contacts, the properly-translated business card is all-important.
The prime issue with the use of business cards, is the importance of the best translation into foreign languages (English to Chinese, Spanish or Arabic, being the big three) so that the recipient is able to register your identity and your professional association. But , simple as this may seem, there is much more to business-card translation than merely translating from one language to another. Several linguistic and cultural factors need to be addressed in doing so. You would be surprised how many top companies and businesspersons fail miserably at this.
1. A qualified translator or translation services provider should convert your business card: Resist the temptation to use the services of a friend or family member who may have the ability to translate–or speak the language. It is always advisable to leave it to a localization expert in order to be assured of the most appropriate and proper method of translation, and therefore, presentation.
2. Take care with your logo: Your logo and branding are not to be ignored. Images and colors that work in one culture do not always work well in another. For advice on this, again you need a qualified translation and or localization expert.
3. Always keep your business card simple: The basic requirements of a business card are your name, title, company and contact details. Anything over and above these are usually unnecessary, and can be counterproductive. Translation: the less to be confused the better.
4. Make sure that your title is translated accurately: The translator should make no mistake in translating your title. As it is sometimes difficult to understand a complicated moniker, keep your title as simple as you possibly can. (COO is a killer!) It is interesting to note that sometimes it is better not to translate your title since there is no equivalent in the target culture but yours is understood in English.
5. Should you translate your address? Translating your address will only be of help in enabling the reader to pronounce your address correctly and easily. Should they mail anything to you, who knows where the documents may finally end up. But it can help if to translate your mailing address if you're doing a dual-sided card.
6. Arrange numbers in the correct format: Should the need ever arise to mention a date on a business card; you should ideally use the local practice of writing them. For example in Europe and Spanish-speaking countries it's the date/month/year, while in the Islamic world the Hijri calendar is followed. Do your homework.
7. Have business cards printed only on one language per side. This decision is completely up to you. However, two-sided cards are usually when presenting the translated side up toward your multilingual clients. However, cramming two languages into the same side can often lead to confusion and a cluttered design.
8. Be aware of the do's and don'ts of presenting business cards in foreign cultures: Which hand should be used, what to say, where to keep and place it, whether to write on it, etc., are extremely important and should be studied before you leave your office.
To summarize, in the international arena, translating your business card into a foreign language can be highly rewarding in terms of success and lasting relationships. But only if you take the time to get it right. First impressions, anyone?

- Street/Strip 1969 Chevrolet COPO Camaro Lives Again As a Gorgeous Day-Two Restoration
Street/Strip 1969 Chevrolet COPO Camaro Lives Again As a Gorgeous Day-Two Restoration
Chevrolet's Central Office Production Order (COPO) system was originally designed to enable short assembly-line production runs with equipment or paint schemes not normally available to the general public. Think police cars, taxicabs, that sort of thing. But it wasn't long after the dawn of the muscle car that enterprising Chevrolet dealers like Fred Gibb, Bill Thomas, and Don Yenko used the COPO system to build factory hot rods, stuffing big-inch motors into lightweight platforms like the Nova, Camaro, and Chevelle.
COPO cars were typically ordered to race. And race cars usually don't live long lives. They're either hacked up in search of higher speeds, wrecked in that same search, or suffer a combination of the two. That's why finding a real COPO car these days, like Grady Burch's Burnished Brown 1969 Camaro, is a big deal.
Back when these factory race cars were new, not many people outside of dealership employees had any idea what COPO meant, or that it even existed. As Cliff Craver, the Camaro's fourth owner, tells us, "At the time I bought it, which would have been 1975, I didn't know it was a COPO. Never thought it would have come from the factory like that. We just always thought it was a plain-Jane car, maybe a six-cylinder, that somebody had put a big motor in."
Regardless of its genesis, Cliff was excited at the prospect of owning the car. "It was a heck of a car, always fast, no matter what engine was in it. My friends and I knew about the car when we were growing up. Everybody knew about the brown Camaro."
That's because the Camaro spent the first 44 years of its life in central Pennsylvania. Dick Patterson, a salesman at Williams Chevrolet in Lebanon, special-ordered the car for its first owner, Ned Smith, who raced it "up and down the East Coast," says Cliff. "He trailered the car; it never saw many street miles."
The second owner, Eli Dobrinoff, also drag-raced the Camaro, almost exclusively at York US30 Dragway. It didn't see much street duty until coming into the hands of its third owner, Dick Barcellona, who lived in Harrisburg.
When Dick bought the car it was without an engine. Cliff says Dobrinoff blew up the original 427 ("a picture window in the block" is how he described it) and put a 454 in it to race, but that motor was out when he sold it. Dick replaced it with an over-the-counter L88 crate engine from Sutliff Chevrolet in Harrisburg.
"Dick mostly drove it around town, cruised in it, and kept it in a garage. Never put many miles on it," Cliff says.
He met Dick through a mutual friend, Jim Gelenser. When Dick decided it was time to part with the Camaro, he offered it to Jim first for $2,000. "But Jim didn't want that big motor, so he suggested selling it to me," Cliff recalls. "I jumped at the chance. It was a fast car and I wanted to own it." He paid Dick $2,500.
Cliff bracket-raced the Camaro throughout 1976. "I'd race Saturday nights at York, then Sundays at South Mountain, in Boiling Springs, Pennsylvania, about 15 to 20 miles away." His best time was 11.71 at 117 mph.
Near the end of 1976 the Camaro lost Reverse, so Cliff took the car to Winters Transmission in York, where he was told he should not bother to fix the trans but get a full competition transmission instead. "I assumed they'd use a different case," Cliff says. "At the time I didn't know what a CX transmission was. I just knew it was a Turbo 400." He says that was the "best $275 I spent back then. The transmission worked great. It was a reverse valve body with a manual shift. It would chirp the tires going into Second, and sometimes even into Third when the road was right."
But the racing, even brackets at local tracks, was hard for him to afford on his mechanic's wages. So he decided to put the Camaro on the street. "I had a really good race record on the street," he says, "but after I 'grew up' I just maintained it as best I could. I did the cruise thing in Harrisburg, took it to car shows. I'd drive it just on weekends and keep it in the garage."
That's how Cliff would use the Camaro for the next 37 years.
In fact, he might own the Camaro still were he and his wife Diane (who helped Cliff with the car's upkeep) still in Pennsylvania. But when their son took a job in Washington State, Cliff retired early and the couple followed him west. He wanted the Camaro to stay in central Pennsylvania, though.
The Camaro's fifth owner, Skip Lecates, was from York and was already friends with Cliff, Jim, and Dick through local cruises. He knew all about the car, even knew Eli Dobrinoff, the second owner. "It was a logical thing for me to sell it to him," says Cliff. "I could not figure out what it was worth without the original drivetrain, but he made me an offer and I was happy. It was a heck of a lot more than what I paid for it."
Skip bought the car in early 2013, and took it to the GM Nationals in Carlisle that June, parking it in the Solid Lifter Showroom. That's where it caught the eye of Grady Burch.
"I looked at it for almost a day while sitting with the car I brought, and the more I looked at it the more I liked it," Grady says. "It really started to impress me with its originality and zero corrosion. The only problem was I was told it didn't have its original drivetrain."
Grady talked up the car with his buddy, restorer Mike Angelo, "who thought I was nuts," Grady says. "I think his exact words were, 'It's a brown turd. Why would you want that?'"
But want it he did. Skip told him it was available, so Grady worked a deal. He owned a 31,000-mile, 396/375hp 1969 Nova, "all original drivetrain, mostly original paint, almost all the original paperwork, and an Ammon R. Smith car to boot." Grady wanted to trade the Nova for the Camaro, but Skip wasn't interested in the Nova. As the two talked, Grady mentioned that the Nova's original owner, Chick Renn, had shown an interest in the car. Skip knew Chick, knew he was at the show, called him, and shortly thereafter "we worked out a deal between the three of us that left all happy," Grady says.
After the Carlisle show ended, Grady took the Camaro to Brian Henderson and Joe Swezey at the Super Car Workshop to inspect it on a lift. Knowing the car had race history he was concerned that there was damage underneath, but was pleasantly surprised to find very little bent metal. Even the rear fender lips, which had been rolled to clear slicks years ago, had been bent back into shape by Cliff.
While the car was in the air, Swezey, looking closely at the transmission, spotted the factory's CX tag on the case. Closer inspection revealed the Camaro's VIN stamped on the transmission flange. "That made the trade even better," recalls Grady. All those years ago Winters Transmission put new guts in the Camaro's original case, unbeknownst to Cliff Craver.
Since the car eyeballed so well, Grady's original plan was to put the car on a rotisserie, repair what little floor pan damage there was, and let it go at that. But he and Mike realized more than half of the car had been repainted over the years, "much of it was flaking off, and it was too dark," says Grady. They decided to completely restore the car (Inside the Award-Winning Restoration of a Day-Two 1969 COPO Camaro).
The restoration was just the start. A photo of the Camaro, taken while Cliff was racing at York in 1976, inspired Grady to delve deep in his stash of day-two parts to return the car to competition trim. Gary says, "I have been collecting parts forever. A lot of it comes from eBay, believe it or not. When I see something I want I go after it, whether I need it right away or might need it down the road."
Just 11 months after Mike began the restoration, the brown Camaro debuted at the 2016 Muscle Car and Corvette Nationals. Six months later Grady brought it to the Solid Lifter Showroom in Carlisle, where Dick Patterson, who had originally ordered the car, plus owners four through six, posed for a photo.
"Grady and Mike did a remarkable job on the car," says Cliff. "It looks basically like when I had it, except it's all one color brown! There were things touched up when I owned it, so it's nice to see it freshly painted. I was real happy to see the car again."

Dragway 42
We could not have found a better location to photograph Grady's Camaro than the all-new Dragway 42 in West Salem, Ohio. How is a 60-year-old dragstrip "all new"? Ron Matcham, himself a drag racer, spearheaded a multiyear renovation of the facility that literally rebuilt it from the ground up—including changing the direction of the strip from south-north to north-south. The first 750 feet of the track is concrete, the rest is asphalt. In addition to bleachers at the start line (which came from Daytona International Speedway), Ron had grassy berms built on both sides of the track for casual "amphitheater" seating and clear views of the entire quarter-mile. We want to thank the folks at Dragway 42 for their hospitality, and we invite MCR readers to check out this beautiful new facility. Learn more at dragway42.com.

Tower Hamlets students display their political prowess
PUBLISHED: 13:53 13 October 2016
© Rehan Jamil
A complaint often lodged against young people is that they don't take enough of an active interest in politics.
Well students from Tower Hamlets have been proving that isn't the case as they've been taking part in a series of debates and events as part of Local Democracy Week.
On Monday pupils from Stepney Green Secondary School and Mowlem Primary School learnt how to tackle the problem of bullying whilst on Tuesday 43 nominees for this year's young mayor position debated the barriers women face in the workplace.
The mayor of Tower Hamlets, John Biggs, was pleased to see so many young people participating in Local Democracy Week events.
"It is fantastic that so many of our young people are getting involved in the local democratic process," said the mayor.
"I am looking forward to their views on the council's approach to safeguarding, and the ways we can use their ideas to shape our approach."
On top of the other events, the youth council met yesterday to prepare a speech to be delivered to the mayor during next month's cabinet meeting.
Tomorrow the speaker for the council, Cllr Khales Uddin Ahmed, will take pupils from Mowlem Primary School, in Mowlem Street, Cambridge heath, and Marion Richardson Primary School, in Senrab Street, Stepney, on a tour of the council chamber.
Local Democracy Week runs from October 10 to 16.

The great Irish writer still casts a shadowby Julian Gough / May 22, 2014 / Leave a comment
"Too difficult, too scandalous for school, you read Joyce the way you listened to late punk, or early rap."
I grew up, the son of an Irish fireman and nurse, in a house with few books. We had a nursing manual, packed with astonishing photographs of extreme, untreated diseases; a Collier's Encyclopedia, bought from a door-to-door salesman (to educate, by osmosis, me and my brother); and a lot of paperback Dick Francis racing thrillers. But, right beside the encyclopedia (where the Bible would have been, a generation earlier), there was one anomalous, thick, squat, hardback novel.
I grew obsessed with this 1967 Bodley Head edition of Ulysses. And not just because my father had thoughtfully marked "the dirty bits" in the margins in blue biro, so you wouldn't have to reread the whole book to find them. My father's considered opinion of James Joyce was, "That man is obsessed with shite." I disagreed; Joyce simply gave everything equal weight and attention, including what had previously been taboo. He didn't look away as Bloom entered the backyard jakes, or fade to black as the lads entered the brothel. Shocking. But exciting. Liberating.
I skipped the bits I found boring (I was young; there were many). But Leopold Bloom's pub conversation with the Citizen, and Molly Bloom's internal conversation with herself, blew my teenage mind. The sex, sensuality, swearing; the language, its energy, its invention; but, above all, the electric honesty.
Joyce's first work of fiction, Dubliners, was published 100 years ago this month: there are now statues of Joyce in Dublin, and his face stares down at you from the walls of half the city's pubs, hanging where the picture of the Pope used to be. His words once floated in smoke above Dublin, from the heaped burning pages of scandalous Dubliners. Now, they are cast in bronze and set into modern cement pavements. You tread on his words at pedestrian crossings. He footnotes the city.
But Joyce entered your life very differently in rural Ireland in the early 1980s. Back then, he still existed outside the official system. Too difficult, too scandalous for school. It was still possible for teenagers to read Joyce as an act of rebellion against teachers, government, church. You read Joyce the way you listened to late punk, or early rap. His leading public champion in…

About the NDS
Our Members
The National Daffodil Society (NDS) was founded in 1926 and has many members throughout New Zealand, as well as members from overseas, all with the same passion and enthusiasm for daffodils.
Some of our NDS members grow many hectares of daffodils for cut flowers and for selling bulbs while others grow a 'patch' of daffodils for exhibiting and breeding new varieties. Many NDS members grow a large variety of daffodils, including miniatures in pots.
Areas throughout New Zealand have representatives from the Society to liaise between members and the NDS. Most areas have active groups that organize get-togethers and events such as table shows and informative meetings. To learn more about these groups, go to our 'Daffodil Clubs Near You' page to find a representative in your area.
Although daffodils are considered to be a spring flowering plant, they can actually bloom for a much longer period of time. There are autumn flowering varieties that flower and sustain their blooms right through winter. However, it is spring when the main flowering occurs and this is when daffodils enthusiasts throughout the country meet at their favourite shows.
The National Daffodil Society has two primary shows each spring, one the North Island and one in the South Island. NDS members from throughout the country gather at these shows for a weekend of competition and for a very enjoyable time. At these shows, everyone gets to see the latest varieties while every bloom entered is considered for Champion Bloom of the show, the ultimate accolade.
There are smaller shows held in many communities around the country, and to find one close to you, please look at our Events & Show Calendar page. If you are interested in growing daffodils, try to attend a daffodil show near you and make yourself known to the exhibitors. Better still, bring your daffodils and you will receive a warm welcome and help with staging your blooms. Who knows, it may be the start of an interesting and absorbing hobby for you!
Join Us!
If you are interested in our favourite flower and would like to join New Zealand's National Daffodil Society, then please go to our 'Join' page. We look forward to seeing you at our events!

Balconies and terraces, in some cases high above the street, are commonly exposed to damaging conditions including extreme cold, wind, driving rain, snow, sleet and intense ultraviolet exposure. All of this exposure takes place within feet of living quarters. Battered by continual exposure, pollution, building movement and frequent use, attention to connections such as deck and door thresholds, deck and door jambs and other transitions between the balcony and wall is critical to seal out weather while sealing in comfort and energy savings. Premature failure at the interface of the deck coating and the adjacent door and/or window system on high-rise, cantilevered, cast-in-place concrete balconies and the resulting moisture penetration cause more extensive deck coating failures and subsequent deterioration to the underlying concrete substrate.
Even minor problems can escalate into major issues if not addressed. Spot repairs are only temporary repairs and may not address all the underlying conditions, but balcony repairs can be expensive as well as extremely inconvenient and disruptive to tenants.
New technologies are offering alternatives that help minimize disruption while providing tested, documented performance demonstrating their ability to provide sustained protection.
Creating a high-performance seal from door to wall, door thresholds
Weeps in frame systems allow water in the glazing pockets or balcony door to drain, and any conditions in the framing and interior glazing gaskets that have become unsealed provide an air path to the interior. As the elements take their toll, the building moves, and occupants step on the door threshold while stepping onto the balcony or back into the interior of the building. Seals are then broken, allowing air and moisture infiltration. Moisture migrating through or forming within the building envelope from condensation can damage interior components, lead to occupant discomfort and increase energy consumption for heating/cooling.
Restoring weatherproofing reliability and functionality can take many forms. Some may be short-term fixes that will lead to perpetual maintenance. More permanent fixes may be more disruptive or costly. The T3 Building Envelope Solutions provide a three-level, high performance sealing system for around windows and doors. This allows differential movement between dissimilar building materials while creating a connection that takes into consideration thermal insulation as well as protection from air and water infiltration. With the ability to stay flexible despite the abuse taken at the bottom of a balcony door and its unique ability to provide an airtight separation for the interior environment, the decision was made to test for performance when subjected to wind-driven rain and air leakage.
Minimizing disruption from balcony deck recoating
Even small, hairline cracks in the concrete of a balcony can be problematic. The most common place for deterioration to begin is at the connection details. All cracks, no matter how small, will allow water to penetrate the concrete. In colder climates, as the temperature drops, water that has penetrated the cracks freezes and expands to create more cracks. Over time, as the cycle continues, the water penetration can also affect the steel reinforcement frame of the balcony causing it to rust and also causing concrete spalling.
Traditional balcony recoating takes a minimum of three days - a day for application of base coat, another for application of top coat and a day to properly cure. At times, access from the building interior is not possible, requiring some form of lift equipment that adds cost. Technology developed by Tremco Commercial Sealants & Waterproofing in the form of a one-coat polyurethane coating for light pedestrian traffic combines the flexibility and adhesive properties of a base coat material and the UV protection and wear-resistance of a top coat material - all in one product - eliminating time, cost and disruption.
Since the connection details are critical to the success of the restoration, sealants used with the deck coating system must be not only be compatible, but also provide the same movement capability. With exceptional movement capability (+100/-50), Tremco's Dymonic® 100 Polyurethane Sealant is ideal for the demands of balconies and is compatible with Tremco air barrier products and deck coating systems.
Tested Performance
When put to the test for wind-driven rain (ASTM E331) for a total of 67 minutes, stepping from a minimum pressure of 300 Pa to 2100 Pa, there was never any water leakage in this balcony assembly.
When tested for air leakage after wind conditioning in accordance with ASTM E2357 in high-wind geographic regions, air leakage was measured to be 0.021 cfm/ft², basically half of the allowable amount specified by the Air Barrier Association of America for an air barrier assembly (0.04 cfm/ft² or less). Having an assembly that meets these requirements and the criteria of the International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) provides confidence in the integrity of the resulting thermal.

May was Disability Awareness Month.
If you are the only one dependent on you, Disability Insurance (DI) is the bedrock of your financial plan. If you have no income, you can't save. Or invest. Or anything.
DI is dirt cheap. If you use your brain for your living, you can supplement employer paid DI for less than the cost of a couple beers per month. Not even good beers!
So contact your financial advisor and discuss DI.
Don't have one? Contact me and I will introduce you to one.

In the Pragmatic Programmer it talks about your knowledge portfolio and recommend that you invest in it regularly. In fact, it draws the analogy of a stock or financial investor and how they invest.
I discuss my experience in investing and my thoughts on the content of the Pragmatic Programmers book.
The only major difference or disagreement I have between their suggestions and my experience is that today most of the content you'd find in books or trade magazines is available online in blogs, videos, and other media. However, in some cases, the best documentation is in a recently written and maintained book.
Here are some of the things I mentioned in the podcast:
- Ruby Reloaded Peter Cooper's Ruby Course
- Teach Me To Code Academy – Ruby on Rails Course
- The The Pragmatic Programmerbook

Black Mother of the Bride Dresses
Black mother-of-the-bride dresses or mother-of-the-groom dresses can be chic choice for evening weddings or formal black-tie events. To keep the look from being too severe, pick a gown with some beautiful festive detail.
Black Dresses for the Mother of the Bride and Mother of the Groom
Here are a few of my picks for the most elegant black dresses for mothers of the wedding in dressy, semi-formal, and formal styles. Just be sure to check with the couple (or whomever is making attire decisions for the wedding) to make sure a black gown will be appropriate for the event. If black is too severe for the event, try perhaps you can try a charcoal gray, navy, or silver, or a deep, jewel tone.

I've turned into somewhat of a self help junkie within the past month. The reason is simple: the audio and or books are so positive! How could I resist!? They have also helped me a great deal in creating better more vivid visualizations during meditation. These are so helpful in mastering everyday activities I thought why not apply this concept to trading!
I was inspired to make this video last week and yesterday I was over come by this inspiration and ran with the idea. The video is a guided meditation with real trading involved in order to help you become mindful of your emotions then be able to overcome them. It's the first video and I hope there can be more. Feedback is always welcome.

"Working with Scott when I was a councilmember and now as mayor, I have seen how his thoughtful, calm and strategic leadership moved our city forward. He has been an invaluable partner as I worked to return trust and stability to City Hall. An organization is only as good as its people, and Scott is without a doubt one of the finest City employees I've had the pleasure of working with," Faulconer said.
"Kris has a results-driven approach that time and again has gotten big things done for San Diego. Her wealth of experience both inside and outside City Hall has earned her the respect of leaders on both sides of the aisle," Faulconer said. "Since taking office I've made it a priority to make the city more efficient and effective, and Kris will work with our dedicated employees to ensure the public receives excellent service. We are embracing new ideas and approaches to deliver results for our neighborhoods, and Kris is the right person for the job."
Prior to returning to the city in 2017 to manage major projects and initiatives, Michell held various leadership roles in the public and private sectors. She served as chief of staff for mayors Susan Golding and Jerry Sanders, overseeing the successful implementation of their agendas.
As vice president of governmental relations for the San Diego Padres, she coordinated the successful campaign that led to the development of Petco Park. Michell also held the role of president and CEO of the Downtown San Diego Partnership, where she oversaw day-to-day operations of the nonprofit organization and was responsible for the Clean & Safe program that offered services to enhance quality of life for 11,000 property owners in San Diego's urban core. A native San Diegan, Michell earned a B.A. in political science from San Diego State University.
"My entire career has been in service of San Diego and it's a true honor to take on this new role. Mayor Faulconer has a bold agenda for 2018 and beyond and I look forward to working with all of our City employees to implement his vision and goals," Michell said. "Since returning to City Hall last year, I have been so impressed by Scott and the talented people helping to lead our city. I will be working closely with our executive team, the mayor, and his office to continue his aggressive plans for street and infrastructure repair, tackle our homelessness and housing crises, grow our police department and improve quality of life in all our neighborhoods."

... they should be functioning time capsules that help us remember when our memory fails us. They allow future generations piece together the meaning for themselves.
There is a feeling that binds George Mason 2006, Davidson 2008 and Butler 2010 together.
... to sell those ahead of us on the idea that this was a really powerful experience for a lot of people.
And then:
I didn't really like Michael Kruse's Taking The Shot: when I first read it, I felt it was too esoteric and short, padded with extraneous material and featuring more footnotes than a David Foster Wallace book. But when I was back home for a few days nursing my broken immune system after Vancouver, I went back and re-read it. I "got it" a little more, and I could better see what the author was attempting. There are stories of the other players, and of fans and students, of free buses to Detroit, about the construction of the team, and the old and wise coach's philosophy. And there is the feeling, in black and white, when the shot didn't go down, when Davidson couldn't do what Mason did two years earlier, what Butler has done now. It's far from perfect, but it's a blueprint and a way forward.
It's a very fair point. I actually would add a few more fars: far, far, far from perfect. I would change a lot of things about it, if I could go back and try it again, but I can't. That's the way it goes. One night at the Brickhouse, not long after it came out, I told William I thought it was flawed but earnest. Fail with some grace and hope to learn from it for later. This is one reason I'm excited about The Davidson Project. More voices, more accessible, and a much, much wider frame: I think ultimately it will be a better version of what Kyle's talking about here.

Somerset County Council's improved traffic and travel service has proven a hit with both the public and professionals as it celebrates its first birthday.
The mobile-friendly www.travelsomerset.co.uk website was launched in August 2016 to provide reliable travel updates and roadworks information. It is accompanied by the @TravelSomerset Twitter account which live tweets alerts to its 2,750 followers and also provides a platform for the public to flag up any problems.
In the first year more than 100,000 people have accessed the website and viewed more than 450,000 pages to stay up to date.
Travel Somerset has also been rated independently as part of Socitm's Better Connected survey, which reviews and compares council websites. It tested the roadworks information on the site in March using a number of criteria, ranging from how easy it was to find information to whether the site works on mobiles.
The verdict – a maximum four stars out of four. This is a vast improvement from when roadworks information was last tested in 2014 when Somerset failed to score.
Cllr John Woodman, Somerset County Council's Cabinet Member for Highways and Transport, said: "Travel Somerset was set up to provide a more reliable way for people to find out exactly what is happening on our roads.
"It's always been a challenge to keep the public up to date with more than 16,000 roadworks a year, not to mention the countless accidents and incidents that happen every day.
"By putting all the information in one place online and using Twitter we've been able to really help drivers make informed choices about how and when is best to travel.
"It's been a fantastic success – there's always room for improvement but we know from feedback that people are finding the service incredibly useful."
Some of the positive tweets from @TravelSomerset followers include:
- Just discovered @TravelSomerset well worth following if you are in #somerset for traffic updates
- Who pays @TravelSomerset?? Because pay them more #lifesavers
- You guys do such a great job! Thank you & Merry Christmas all
- Thanks for the info – great service
- You're welcome. Ever happy to recommend reliable, up-to-date, accounts. Keep up all the good #travel work you & others do
The www.travelsomerset.co.uk website has been improved and updated since its launch and key functions now include:
- Live traffic and travel updates
- Interactive roadworks map with additional focus on key schemes
- Report road problems, such as potholes
- Winter gritting maps
- Temporary special pages for individual roadworks schemes, events or bad weather
- Links to bus timetables, journey planners and bus pass information
- Details of community transport options in Somerset
- Live departure boards for local train stations
- Flight details for local airports
- Cycling advice and safety tips
- Walking guides
- Travel change calculator
