AJ: How Alan Jones Climbed to the Top of Formula One
Author(s): Alan Jones; Andrew Clarke
Few names in international motorsport are treated with the same reverence as Alan Jones. When he speaks, they listen.He is one of only two Australians to win the Formula One World Drivers' Championship, and the first driver to do it for the now famous Williams team. His efforts brought Formula One to Australian TV screens, and today he is the voice of Formula One on Network Ten and a board member of the Australian Grand Prix. He is also a Formula One Steward at a couple of Grands Prix a season.AJ is the son of Stan Jones, the winner of the 1959 Australian Grand Prix, and from an early age he wanted to follow in his father?s footsteps and race cars. He started with billycarts in Balwyn and climbed to the top of the motorsport tree in Formula One. His career was potted with highs and lows, the latter coming mainly from a lack of financial support compared with his rivals.But when he hit the big time with Williams, he turned that into the 1980 World Championship and all the fame and fortune that brought with it. But he stopped enjoying himself, the cars were painful to drive and he didn?t feel he could give it his all, so he quite at the height of his powers.He did return to F1, but he wasn?t the same driver and it wasn?t the same team and it didn?t last. He finished his racing career in touring cars in Australia.His no-nonsense style brought him both admirers and detractors, but he always spoke as he saw it. He still does that today. There are many stories to tell from his racing career, his personal life and business. Some stories that only time allows them to be told.

The stock iOS calendar works just fine for basic scheduling, but if you religiously use Uber, Waze or Google Maps, Any.DO's Cal could be worth checking out. An update to the popular productivity outfit's brainchild brings integration with the three aforementioned services, which means you can now call a cab via Uber without leaving Cal, so long as you're in an area where the town cars roam. You'll also be able to navigate your way using Waze and Google Maps without having to launch them. As a nice bonus, Any.DO is introducing a new gifting feature that lets you buy straight from Amazon or Gifts.com from within the app itself. Cal is still nowhere to be seen on Google Play, but iOS users can score the refreshed application at the source.
Update (10/08/13): The folks at Any.DO have informed us that you can't access Uber without leaving Cal after all. There's actually an Uber link within the calendar that launches the request-a-ride app. The amended press release is attached after the break if you'd like to know more.

Heyo, people of Earth! About a month and a half ago, I mentioned that I'm working on a technology that provide homeowners with an aftermarket solution to decrease home energy costs through controlling heat loss via windows.
I'm still working on that, and I'm now at a point where I need to talk to people and get feedback about what we as scientists don't take into consideration.
If you're willing to talk to me, could you please send me a DM here? THANK YOU!
Boosts encouraged!
Let me also state that this is for a class, it's very generic, and everything will be done via Mastodon or through email (if you're character-limited).
I'll need a name to attribute to you (it can be fake :) ), and what "role" you have (are you a homeowner, contractor, etc).
I'm mostly looking for what YOU care about -- what solutions you've looked at (if any), and what made you decide to go with them (or not). If this is something you've thought about at all, I want to talk to you! :)
@hafnia My husband and I own our home. He had his windows replaced at his old house in the name of efficiency, but the new ones were annoying and difficult to close correctly. We've found that "efficient" windows can go up OR down and sort of require slamming/forcing to get completely closed, in both houses.
A barrier to our replacing them in our current home is the cost of checking to see whether the source of heat loss is actually the windows; renting the equipment is a non-trivial activity.
@eleanorkonik This is a really interesting aspect that I had not thought of! I can see how that would present a definite barrier to entry, yup. What window solutions have you been considering, if you don't mind my asking? (I know that you need to get the measurements FIRST, but assuming that the windows are the culprit, have you thought at all about what you'd be replacing them with? :) )
@hafnia In this house we don't particularly have a draft problem, or even know if we're losing much energy, we're just vaguely interested in being energy efficient as a matter of policy. I generally leave the major house stuff to my husband (he owned a house before he met me) but I did recently insist on purchasing new blinds in order to help keep the light/heat from entering/escaping (seasonally) and we got those honeycomb kind with the metal interior that do a good job of blacking out the sun.
@hafnia I realize that's not totally what you're asking but it's the only answer I have, sorry xD
I think it's the "double-hung" windows that I detest.
@hafnia Pretty much, yeah. It's not "as" good but honestly even with perfect seals on the windows the greenhouse effect would still be in play (upstairs has lots of airy windows, so it gets hot in summer) so for $5k, we got blinds instead of windows and it was probably the better choice in terms of being energy efficient.
@eleanorkonik Thank you for taking the time to answer me! :D I can absolutely understand why you'd want blinds in that situation!
@hafnia I definitely like the idea of an "aftermarket" solution that doesn't involve total window replacement, though, like a treatment one could apply to old-fashioned windows. Something like those flaps and tubes you could put on the bottoms of doors to stop drafts from doors cut to avoid scraping.
@eleanorkonik There are a few! Most of them are pretty low-tech. 3M makes a clingfilm you apply with a hairdryer; it's inexpensive and seemed to help my heating bills when I lived in a terrible ancient apartment. :)
@hafnia Oh cool! Honestly before this conversation it had never even occurred to me that something like that might exist! (We needed the blinds for privacy too, tbh)
@eleanorkonik I totally get you. The solution we're talking about providing would include opacity as well as IR reflectance (keep heat in or out depending on season). Basically very high-tech blinds. :) Still 5-10 years away from a product offering though, so...y'know. Heh.

To the editor:
I have sent an email to each of the Edmonds City Council members asking that city building ordinances that preserve our distinctive "on-the-water, picturesque-town, gorgeous-sound view" image be maintained. DO NOT INCREASE THE BUILDING HEIGHT THAT IS ALLOWED ON WATERFRONT PROPERTIES.
As residents, guests and tourists walk or drive through our lovely town, there are multiple opportunities to look west, and enjoy the view of the water and the Olympics. These opportunities are afforded by the openness that is granted by spaces where there are no buildings, one-story buildings, and relative low "high-rise" buildings. The desirabity of either visiting or living in Edmonds to a large extent rests on the proximity to both the water and the mountains and the vistas throughout the downtown area.
The image of a waterfront packed with 50-foot buildings is all too clear. While those residents/businesses occupying those buildings would enjoy every benefit of the view, countless others would have their opportunities taken away, never to return. This is not necessary. Fifty-foot buildings could be constructed in other locales, and the waterfront ambiance and flavor of beautiful Edmonds could be maintained.

Traditional gender related explanations of deviance are biased . This is because gender and its associated paradigms of masculinity and femininity lie on the fundamental principle of male superiority and dominance over women within both social and political-economic spheres .
Women have gender specific roles and expectations reinforced by the institution of family, of which the scope for "normal" behaviour is both considerably more narrow and restrictive compared to that of men .
Explanations of women's engagement in deviant acts have traditionally tended to rely on positivistic explanations, which centralises expectations, which reflect marital and reproductive roles . Deviation from dominant notions of femininity was viewed as a consequence of biological defect .
However this perspective reflects a deterministic view of women's deviance by positing natural or biological qualities as fundamental aspects in female deviation .
Feminists argue that although a child may have a biological sex, it has no gender identity .
Gender identity is a social construct of behaviour applicable templates shaped predominately by the family and the media , with a result of an internalised gender identity corresponding to the social expectations for that gender .
Feminist theories of women's deviance are based upon a Marxist like premise that women are structurally disadvantaged . Radical feminists see male domination and female subordination as a manifestation of the patriarchal society we exist in . Feminist theory views women's engagement in deviant acts as "the result of social oppression and economic dependency upon men or the welfare apparatus of the state" as opposed to construction of gender identity against the dominant notions of femininity. From a feminist perspective, the criminalisation process and labelling of women as deviant is laden with sexist assumptions, which act to reinforce the structural inequalities of gender in our patriarchal society . It is these...

Danger. Congestion. Trauma.
These aren't words that should be associated with one of Melbourne's most iconic streets. As a hub for food, culture, live music and young people, health should be prioritised in Brunswick - not cars.
People in Brunswick deserve to bike, shop, and use public transport in safety. With a huge amount of on-street parks, 'dooring' incidents and a lack of accessible tram stops, Sydney Road encourages car use, and discourages healthy activity.
We believe that the removal of on-street parking along Sydney Road will have significant positive impacts on the health of the community and particularly the health of young people.
Instead, the parking lane of Sydney Road should accommodate a widened pedestrian area, accessible tram stops and a separated bike lane, similar to that along High Street in Northcote.
By removing on-street parking, VicRoads will reduce road trauma, decrease road congestion, improve air quality and promote active forms of transport like walking and cycling.
If you care about creating a healthier community to live and work in, help us Park Off! and make an iconic Melbourne road, safe for everyone. Sign our petition to keep up to date and get more involved #parkoff 🙌❌🚙

3 Words that Will Dramatically Change Your Businesspowellchris42 Mar 15, 2014 11:20 PM
Editor's note: The following is a guest post by Marc Horne. Marc is a co-founder of DailyDealBuilder.com , provider of daily deal software, solutions, and sales training.
It's just 3 little words…
But when these 3 little words are used in the right context and situation, they can make all of the difference for your business.
These 3 words can;
- Bring you new customers.
- Increase your brand exposure.
- Increase your business's revenue.
"Refer a Friend."
I view "refer a friend" as one of the most overused, yet highly effective marketing strategies in existence.
Well, if I'm going to be honest with myself, the most overused (bordering on annoying) marketing is when Facebook users all start reposting the same thing. Not a day goes by I don't see some article or video where 10 or more of my friends have shared it. A day later, it's on to the next big story or blog that talks about 20 Ways to Know He's Right for You, or how This Celebrity Did the Unthinkable, or insert-some-other-sappy-feel-good-let's-hug-type-of-content HERE.
Maybe, I'm just annoyed with the "Like" generation…
I digress; I believe one of the most overused marketing strategies in existence today is the "Refer A Friend" strategy.
It is, however, overused for good reason.
It works.
The likelihood of someone actually referring a friend greatly increases when the customer is asked or is provided easy-to-use technology that allows them to share. Let's be honest with ourselves. This is common sense. By actually asking someone for a referral, you're more likely to get one.
So how does it work?
It starts by over-delivering to your customers, clients, vendors, and / or merchants. When you successfully exceed expectations, you automatically put yourself in a position to ask for a referral.
From here, you either use technology to give them the easy ability to refer a friend or share with their social networks, or you just flat out ask "can you refer a friend?"
On the flip side, if you under-deliver and give below par service, do not ask for a referral. There's a good chance that you'll get your referral, except it will be a public, negative and damaging referral to your business.
Provide an awesome product or service, and start asking for referrals… See where that takes you.
Make moves today,
Marc D. Horne
Co-Founder, DailyDealBuilder.com
Oh, if you liked this article, refer a friend. HA!

From the author of Blade of the Immortal comes the story of three very dangerous woman who collide on a remoted island when a mysterious deal goes down involving the yakuza.
Shinobu ran away from her home on the island Ishikunagijima, but after getting caught up with a low level mobster she is forced to return to the island by his gang, the Kakesu-gumi, to watch over a deal between a rival gang and mysterious figures representing international pharmaceutical company Hill-Myna. The deal goes bad when Trane, a one-armed, one-eyed blonde assassin arrives on the scene seeking Welgelder - money paid in atonement by a murderer. Trane is determined to get revenge on Hill-Myna but is thwarted by Jie Mao, an assassin contracted by Hill-Myna. In the confusion, Shinobu and her companies manage to get away with a suitcase which reveals a much darker secret behind the island and sees Shinobu and Trane working together to stop Hill-Myna.
Make no mistake - this is a mature manga with a capital "M", featuring copious (and at times uncomfortable amounts) of brutal violence, rape and sex. This is not a read for the faint of heart, but those who enjoy gritty seinen will be interested in this series.
In the afternotes of this volume, author Hiroaki Samura recounts how his inspiration for this series were the so called "pink films" common 1970's Japan cinema. This influence is easy to see, as Die Wergelder is at its core a dark combination of sex and brutal violence which both shocks and thrills in equal measure. This created a distinctive aesthetic which might have felt right at home in a Quentin Tarantino film thanks to the gratuitous violence in the many action scenes, creating a distinctly "edgy" sort of vibe that complemented the story effectively.
This brutal tone is accentuated by Samura's artwork, which coveys a rough yet realistic feel throughout, giving the violence and sex a noticeable punch. However, there were a few moments that felt like they went over the line with in terms of purposeless sexuality (I'm not sure I needed a close-up of an unnamed man sticking his fingers in a mermaid robot vagina to tell me how brutal he is) which really wasn't needed further convey how gritty this story is. That said, Die Wergelder has a unique vibe thanks to its sheer brutality at times, adding to the action scenes and makes for a memorable read.
It was undeniably captivating to follow these three women as their journeys intersected, but this volume has some noticeable issues when it comes to its storytelling. The story was at its strongest when it focused clearly on the personal stories of each of these women, but the volume initially buries this under a dense layer of yakuza gang warfare. Although all three women are introduced early on, the rapid-fire shifts in perspective made it difficult to really follow along before the characters were clearly established. This was exacerbated by the fact that all three of the women were drawn very similarly at times, and I found myself frequently confused as to who was being followed. The stories sort of bled together and it was only about half way through this volume that everything began to make more sense. I would have preferred a more linear approach to the storytelling for long enough to differentiate the characters and make sense of the story, but when this was finally sorted out the story began to make a lot more sense without requiring a second read-through.
Although the individual stories of these three women are the strongest part of this tale, the overarching yakuza storyline is a a bit of a mess early on. A number of different gang names are thrown out and it became difficult to figure out who wanted what, and one of the biggest way this volume could have been improved would have been to make it more consistently clear exactly what was at stake. The second half of the volume was much stronger and focused in this regard, explicating more clearly what the stakes involved were and how this related to our three protagonists. We also get some good characterization for each of these women, with Trane's gut-churning backstory giving a sense of weight and context to the overall plot despite being (without spoiling anything) extremely uncomfortable to read. Overall, I felt like I had a general sense of the plot up until the end, when things started to feel a little bit loose again with the volume left on an uncertain note.
Although Samura plays fast and loose with much of the story, the main focus of this volume remains the brutally kinetic action sequences which take up a good deal of page space. These are extremely well done, and I thoroughly enjoyed the sense of impact imbued in the art. The scenes were also extremely well paneled, clearly conveying the impressive motion and making it easy to follow the more elaborate martial-art displays. These were thrilling to watch and if the idea of three deadly women fighting each other and mobster sounds like your idea of an awesome action sequence you'll find plenty to enjoy here in spite of the plot. It's also notable that although this story is never shy about including sexuality in its proceedings, these women are never put in put in pandering positions during the fight scenes. This accentuated the seriousness with which the series portrays its fight scenes in contrast to many other series which use these scenes as an excuse for fanservice.
Die Wergelder is certainly not a manga for everyone, but those looking for a seriously dark action thriller will find plenty to like here. Although the plot is difficult to follow for much of the volume and the general edginess gets to the point where it begins to feel out of place, the stories of each of these three women do well enough to hold the proceedings together. Thankfully, the action sequences are awesome and show a clear sense of motion and impact that is easy to follow and a joy to witness.
Die Wergelder Vol. 1 (containing volume 1 and 2 of the Japanese release) was translated by Stephen Paul and published by Kodansha Comics USA on December 29th, 2015. Authored by Hiroaki Samura, the series ran from 2010-2014 in Kodansha's Nemesis magazine. The second omnibus volume will be released in English later in 2016.

On Thursday 16th February, Derby City Councils Housing Standards Team successfully prosecuted a Derby landlord for offences in relation to a rented property on St Chads Road, Normanton, Derby.
At Southern Derbyshire Magistrates Court, Mr Ali Shan of Stenson Road, Derby was found guilty of failing to comply with enforcement notices served under the Local Government (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 1976, Building Act 1984, Housing Act 2004 and Environmental Protection Act 1990. These required repair and maintenance work to be carried out by Mr Shan to bring the property up to a reasonable standard.
These notices were served after an inspection of the property by the Councils Housing Standards Team discovered a catalogue of defects relating to fire safety issues, falls on stairs, food safety, drainage provision, heating, a failure to maintain gas appliances and not being secure against intruders. Mr Shan failed to comply with the notices and failed to take steps to remove the hazards at the property, meaning that some work had to be carried out by the Council to make it safer.
Mr Shan was fined a total of £8500 with costs of £3482 and a victim surcharge of £170, for which a collection order was made.
In coming to his decision on sentencing, District Judge Taafe presiding, stated that the fact that Mr Shan had been prosecuted previously on two occasions by the Council for similar offences aggravated matters. He stated that the offences were of a prolonged nature and caused a risk to health and injury of a substantial nature to those residing at, and visiting, the property. He noted that there had been total non-cooperation by Mr Shan who had allowed tenants to remain in a hazardous property for personal gain.
Councillor Fareed Hussain, Cabinet Member for Urban Renewal stated:
We always try to work with landlords to secure improvements, but they should be left in no doubt that we will enforce the law to ensure compliance with the standards required. Landlords have a duty of care for their tenants, and this responsibility is not optional. Tenants and their families' health and safety can be put at risk if a landlord fails to ensure their property is safe. The Housing Standards team at Derby City Council will not tolerate landlords who dismiss their responsibilities and put their tenants' wellbeing at risk'.

Haley Reinhart - Shredfest 2K7 lyrics
Shredfest 2K7 by Haley Reinhart
And every time I come to this place
I try to tell myself this is the last time.
And every time that I see your face
I try to tell myself that this is goodbye.
But still I find myself coming back to you.
In the back of my mind I know it's the right thing to do.
I try to tell myself that I've made my mistakes
And I'm taking them all back. You try to tell me
That it's better if we wait. but do you really want that?
Looking back on all the things that we shared,
These things are so hard to let go.
Looking back I wonder if you ever cared;
Is that something I'll ever know? It's hard to admit,
But eventually I'll have to face the facts.
After all this shit, it doesn't mean one thing to you that I want you back.
I will compromise if you promise me this.

I am strolling down my neighborhood sidewalk toward the main road. It is little misty this morning. Ahead at the intersection I see that someone different is performing as the crossing guard. She is a diminutive older black lady.
I can hear her laugh.
As I approach the corner I see that the crossing guard is chatting pleasantly with occupants of the neighborhood cars and mini-vans as they wait for the green light in order to turn onto the main road.
A group of children is gathered next to the crossing guard. The children are waiting to cross upon the green light and head onward to the elementary school. As traffic lights turn to yellow the crossing guard directs her attention upon the group of children. Suddenly she says something to the children and they laugh. The crossing guard suddenly raises her hand-held paddle-shaped red stop sign.
The children cry out gleefully, "The Lollypop Lady!"
When the approaching traffic on the main road has halted in front of the crossing walk, the crossing guard steps from the corner and she waves for the children to pay attention to her while crossing.
The crossing guard eyes intently the cars yet approaching at a distance from the red light.
At the half-way point in the crossing walk the crossing guard judges that all traffic has halted, most of the automobile occupants glancing at her, and the crossing guard turns around to return to her street corner leaving the children set safely on a course toward the opposite side and onward to the elementary school.
The crossing guard returns toward her corner to meet me coming to a halt as the lights turn red against my intent to cross.
I joke, "Aw, too late. You see me."
The crossing guard's eyes sparkle, "Not if your name is 'Jay'."
At first I make a comedic sour face and answer, "Oh, a jaywalker. I never hear that one before…," then I get flustered, "Wait, did you actually know my name is really 'Jay'? How did you know my name is 'Jay'? My name is Jay."
The little lady laughs heartily and offers her hand in greeting, "Hello, Mister Jay. I'm Prudence," then proudly, "Prudence Ferry."
I ask politely, "You're new?"
Prudence smiles, "I'm 94. I'm hardly new."
She got me smiling too, and I say, "By God, you are certainly 'way ahead of me today."
Prudence chuckles and wags her finger at me, saying, "Now, don't you go getting behind me crossing, neither."
I laugh, "Oh, I promise, ma'am," then I remember my question, "Prudence, really, did you know my name?"
Prudence confides, "As you were approaching, some of your neighbors were talking about you to me."
I ask wryly, "I hope they weren't 'tellin' the truth on me'."
Prudence said gently, "They all had very nice words about you. And I 'ain't heared' someone say 'tellin' the truth on me' since I was a girl myself. I'll bet you learned that hearin' your mama."
I raise my eyebrows, "As a matter of fact I did learn that from my ma.. my mother."
Prudence bowed her head briefly, "Rest her soul".
I ask softly, "Did you just assume she was… she died?"
Prudence says, "I can just tell."
I raise my head and gaze above. After a moment, I say, "The fog seems really to be gathering.
Prudence says, "The light is turning yellow."
I don't see any traffic. I glance behind myself to confirm that no more children are joining us. I presume that people have gotten to work and that the elementary school is starting.
Prudence says, "Good thing, in this thickening fog."
I say, "What?"
Prudence makes for me a comically serious face as she raises her stop sign, "Now, Jay, don't get ahead of me and don't get behind me. You might not hear trouble the way I'm used to it."
It seems as if we are nearly half way across the main road and it is very difficult to see the green light ahead or even the yellow lines demarking the crossing path from the black asphalt.
Prudence says, "I tell the children that a road is like a black river and you get across as fast as you safely can."
I glance at Prudence and her yellow vest seems to be glowing.
I say suddenly, "I am glad you are here for me, Prudence. I can barely see a thing."
Prudence says softly, "Open your eyes, Jay."
Suddenly, I see.
There is no fog.
I can see.
All is radiant.
I am dead.
I died in my house.
Prudence reaches up and pulls my head down to kiss me, "You are safe on the other side, Jay."

Great EBook Deal
This is a great price for the book in electronic format. I paid more through Google books, and was only given single page by page view access only and they didn't advertise it as that. So not cool.
Wish I would have found this sooner..
Thanks again this is awesome and is a great deal!!!!!
Suspicious price, Trustworthy content
After not being able to find the book for free ANYWHERE I had to result to purchasing online. The price for the online book on this website was cheaper than any others, and I was suspicious I would be scammed because of that. I decided to trust the reviews and purchased. Got the download I was promised in full! Thank you for not breaking the bank for this college student <3
THANK YOU. Upon cursory examination, I am thrilled with the book. You people are great. Now I don't have to type out everything — and it is very readable. I am so glad I cancelled my other order — book was very costly — and was going to take 3 weeks to get. Yet here you are, and you gave it to me quickly, conveniently — "right now!" WOW. I will certainly remember you. Thank you so much.
It Does Really Work
I found this site and I was going to purchase the book when I saw the program to get it for free. I copy the link, email all my classmates on canvas, took a screen picture, and sent it to them, next morning I received the code and I applied to the cart and I got my pdf download. It's real and the pdf is real and it works, all pages opened. Thank you so much!!!

I sought answer, giving direction for this, this thing I want so desperately to become all that you have for it; You breaking through dreams and Your springing up hope and change to other daughters of Yours, just from sharing my gut-ugly, beautiful honesty...here. It is quiet. No caution. So I passionately, with great desire, yet timidly, humbly push the door. I push the door to see if it opens, welcoming me to walk through. It does. You do. As I enter I find a room with no end, walls and floor painted with words and drafts, and excitement; with no ceiling, just blue and clouds for You and I to bust so You rain down. Heart overflowing with script that must be shared. Thanksgiving. Give me Your Words, Your Timing, Your Order, Your Plan, O God, and grow my creativity in you - lifestyle of creativity built on foundation of thanksgiving.
These words, a public re-dedication of this world-wide web space to You.

Morgan Stanley analyst Adam Jonas has lately been more bullish on General Motors, even as traditional car companies have seen their stock prices hammered while investors rush into upstarts such as Tesla, whose shares have surged almost 80% this year.
Morgan Stanley was involved with GM's recent proxy battle with Greenlight Capital's David Einhorn, so Jonas wasn't commenting on the carmaker.
But in a note published Wednesday, he resumed coverage with an "overweight" rating and a $US40 price target (GM is now trading at $US35).
Jonas also articulated a "bull case," however, which would see GM rising to $US50. But that would depend on some aggressive business moves.
"While GM management in our view appear highly aware and attuned to the challenges and opportunities facing OEMs, they have not commented on specific subsequent transactions to exit, monetise or spin any of its specific businesses," he wrote.
"We believe that during this formative time of technology and business model change investors may show a willingness to value GM on the basis of some of its more valuable assets over the next 12-18 months."
You don't have to read between the lines there to realise what Jonas is suggesting. And this isn't the first time he's argued that GM could be broken up. He raised the issue earlier this year, months before Greenlight proposed that GM offer two new classes of shares, one for capital appreciation and growth, the other for dividend investors (the plan was shot down at GM's annual meeting this month).
Auto 1.0 to Auto 2.0
The last major spinoff in the auto industry, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles' IPO of Ferrari in 2015, has returned 119% over the past 12 months, making it the best-performing stock in the sector. That's certainly influencing Jonas' thinking, something that's been confirmed by his questions for FCA and Ferrari CEO Sergio Marchionne about additional spinoffs (namely, Jeep).
For GM, Jonas wants to fit the automaker into his "Auto 1.0-to-Auto 2.0" thesis.
"Quite simply, we believe GM has a number of assets and businesses that are of potentially high strategic value to outside players or partners who are keen on entering the global mobility space," he wrote.
"We also believe there are steps that, hypothetically, can be taken to unlock hidden tech value at GM while maintaining some degree of benefit to the remaining business … through commercial or ownership arrangements."
A few years back, GM would have balked at the idea of selling off chinks of itself. But under the leadership of CEO Mary Barra, the company has focused on maximizing its return on investment and has been ruthless about shedding underperforming assets, most recently in nearly 100-year-old European division, Opel/Vauxhall, which is sold to Peugeot for about $US2 billion.
GM has also established a new brand, Maven, to market car-sharing and mobility to younger, urban customers, and the company is rolling out a ride-hailing initiative with Lyft after investing $US500 million in startup. Either of these businesses could grow more rapidly than the legacy business and be a candidate for a spinoff.
NOW WATCH: A Tesla bull makes his case: 'We think it's real …. it's a good car. That's not a fluke'

Becky's Cake Day Speech
My year at His Mansion is hard to put into words. It's had ups and downs and hard and beautiful moments. I stepped onto this little hill in New Hampshire on August 29th, 2015, full of fear of what the next year was about to bring. Most of my life, up to that point, had been characterized by fear. And just in this last year, God has set me free from this fear. Most of this fear comes down to one thing: the fear of man and not a fear of God. I would get so anxious around people I did not know. I didn't know how to just be with people and not feel the need to say anything or do anything. I remember Dawnn, who was a Servant Leader when I first got here say, "Becky, you need to just be a person." And I said, "But what does that mean?" I later learned that it meant to just be a presence with people and not put any expectations on myself. But before I could learn how to be with people, I had to realize I believed a number of lies about myself.
In different ways and in different points of my life, it was communicated to me that I was annoying and a burden to others. I did not find my identity in the Lord. In one conversation that I had in Servant Leader class, I began to realize that I believed that lie. It was in that moment though, that I began to feel very loved in and by this community. And that love was not attached to what I did or how I made people feel, but who I was in Christ. And the person I am in Christ, is a daughter of The Most High God.
One way I learned this identity is through a conversation I had with another Servant Leader, Jennine. I used to get very upset if I made a mistake or said something wrong. She said I needed to choose to receive the grace that people wanted to give me. I remember having a similar conversation where I was challenged by the other Servant Leaders to pray in those moments when I didn't think I could do this job or speak into peoples' lives, to pray about who I was in Christ, and to ask for strength to fight those thoughts. And through that push to pray, I've gotten to really grow in my relationship with my Heavenly Father and see how sweet being in His presence is.
I remember a couple of months ago we did "soaking" during Prayer & Share. We just became totally aware of God and His presence. It was a completely new experience for me, and I realized how wonderful it was to just be with Him. I experienced this further in different quiet times and conversations with Him. When I'm in that quiet place with God, I find peace. It is in those moments that I realize I have The Holy Spirit living and dwelling inside of me.
To quote a song, "I am no longer a slave to fear; I am a Child of God." Those lyrics pretty much sum up a lot of my time here. I can have confidence and peace because I know who I am in Christ. I am God's daughter. The same God who parted the Red Sea and died and rose again for me. That's my Heavenly Father who knows me deeply. I still am learning how to look to The Lord to calm that fear, and I praise Him for giving me peace. I cannot think of a more beautiful place than His Mansion for God to have shown me these things.

BREAST surgeon Briony Ackroyd would need refresher training if she returned to work full time.
Miss Ackroyd is known to be keen to keep up with theory and attends workshops and conferences, but because she has not been doing any clinical work, her surgical skills may need updating.
John Richardson, head of communications for the hospital, said in the event of her returning to work, any training would be agreed between Miss Ackroyd, colleagues, and the Royal College of Surgeons.
?It would be highly unusual for her to simply come back and start work again,? he said.
?If anyone is off from their job for two years, and particularly in a job as demanding and important as a surgeon, then they will inevitably need to brush up their skills and make sure they have not faded. Some aspects of medicine can move on tremendously quickly in the space of two years.?
The GMC may also want to impose retraining as part of any conclusions it makes on Miss Ackroyd?s fitness to practice. It may also specify any voluntary restrictions it wants a doctor to apply to their medical work in the meantime.

Genesys ROI case study: Company Nurse
Company Nurse deployed Genesys PureCloud to modernize its contact center and enable omnichannel capabilities. The project increased injury intake agent productivity by 10 percent and triage nurse agent productivity by 15 percent, enabling the company to realize significant savings with its call overflow partner. It saw a 10 percent year-over-year increase in inbound phone traffic and was able to manage this increase without hiring additional agents at the same rate, resulting in additional cost savings. With the PureCloud deployment, Company Nurse is well-positioned for growth, now being able to more efficiently handle increased traffic with the same number of staff.

ONE in connection with a noun typically means "only one", but the article A/AN doesn't carry the same meaning.

- "The Browns" can be used to include the whole family.
- You can say "the Mr. Smith (who came here yesterday)" to differentiate from another Mr. Smith.

English Grammar Exercise Tips
The following simple English grammar tips and tricks will help you to learn and memorize English grammar rules and speak correctly. If you are on this site for English grammar practice, these tips will really help you. Let's start.
Invest your time in learning
It surely takes some time to learn English. There is no shortcut way to learn it. Some websites may say that they will teach you English in seven days or one month. These are false offers. Invest some time in learning and practicing. Your English skills will surely improve.
Speak, speak, and speak!
Try to speak English the same way you write it. Do not worry about grammatical mistakes. The more you practice, the less mistakes you will make and the more fluent you will be. So, practice daily and do not be afraid of grammatical errors.
Slow down your speaking speed
Your confidence will go down if you try to speak fluently from the very beginning. Give yourself some time. Start with slow speaking speed and increase your speed over time as you make more progress day by day. Slowing down speaking speed has another benefit — you will get enough time to make sentences in your mind before you speak.
The more you practice speaking, the more confident you will be.
Use Mobile apps
Luckily, there are many English learning apps available. Some are free and some are paid apps. If you are a smartphone user, you should install some of these apps in your mobile phone. You can at least install one app and start practicing. A mobile app is a very handy and useful thing to learn at your convenient time. You can start with free apps.
Install and use a dictionary app in your mobile
There are several free dictionary apps that will help you to learn proper pronunciation and new words. It is highly possible that your smartphone already has a dictionary installed. Use it or install a better one.
Try to get a good bilingual dictionary for better understanding. Besides using a mobile app, you can buy and use a good bilingual dictionary. A good bilingual dictionary is always a good investment for personal improvement.
Learn English idioms and phrasal verbs
Idioms and phrasal verbs are very common in everyday English conversation. If you do not know them, you may fail to understand the correct meaning of what the other person is saying. So, do not ignore them. Try to learn the most common English idioms and phrasal verbs.
Listen to news bulletins
Almost every radio and television channel broadcasts news bulletins. If you have a smartphone, radio or television, you can listen to these English news bulletins. Besides learning the correct pronunciation, you can learn correct English. Listening to these bulletins will also improve your fluency. This is a common technique used by English learners.
Read out loud
How does your English sound? The pronunciation style of some people is very bad. But there is a simple and easy way to fix improve pronunciation. Take a newspaper or any other script written in English and read out loud. This way you can hear and test your own pronunciation. If you are not happy with your own pronunciation, keep practicing and your English pronunciation will surely improve.
Learn new words daily
The more words you learn, the better you can understand English and express yourself. You may be surprised to know that learning only the basic words can help you to speak English that is used in communication everyday.
Learn sentences
Besides learning common words, try learning common sentences used in everyday English communication. This will give you a huge boost in your learning efforts.
Write every day
When you write, do not be shy of your mistakes. Try to write at least a few paragraphs, ideally at least one page. It is a great practice to use your newly learned words and practice grammar. This will also improve your writing skills.
Watch English movies
These movies will help you to learn proper pronunciation and improve your understanding of English. When you see how native English speakers speak English, your mind will automatically start copying the style. You can try to speak like them at home to understand the quality of your pronunciation and fluency.
Language swap
There are several websites where you can find people who are native English speakers and want to help your learn English if you teach them your language. This is free and can be a great way to learn from native speakers. Many learners are using this method and you should give a try.
Go to a mentor
A mentor can help you to guide in the right direction. She can measure your progress and suggest whatever you need to improve. You can regularly discuss about your improvement and weakness with your mentor. Oftentimes, she can help you. Your mentor can be someone who is good at English. She can be your school / college / university teacher, your friend or any person good at English.
Try to correct your mistakes
It is common to make mistakes. Every time you make a mistake, write it in a separate piece of paper. Make a list of mistakes. Check your mistakes from time to time and try not to make these mistakes again when you practice. These mistakes are clear and good indications of your weakness in English.
Give yourself time to think
Whenever you make a mistake, you should think how you can avoid this mistake from next time. Take time and assess your progress and weakness.
Be an advance learner
Try to learn advance English grammatical rules and vocabulary. Never be happy with your progress. The more you learn and practice, the better English skills you achieve.
Start with "Tense"
There are mainly three types of tense - past, present and future. Usually, verbs indicate the correct form of each tense. Besides learning tense, you should memorize some verbs too. Do not worry. It is interesting and easy to learn the necessary verbs.
Learn common pronoun usage
Do you know the difference between the common subject pronouns and object pronouns such as I/me, we/us, he/him, she/her, they/them?
We use subject pronouns such as I, we, he she, they when the subject is doing an action. Usually, we use subject pronouns at the beginning of a sentence. Example: I cannot remember the story.
But we do not start a sentence with object pronouns such as me, us, him, her, them. Example: Call him.
Active voice and passive voice
Many English learning students get confused here. In active voice, the subject performs an action. In passive voice, the subject and the object of a sentence swap to form the correct sentence.
Incorrect: The cinema was gone to by me.
Correct: The cinema was enjoyed by me.
A preposition defines the relationship between an object and its surroundings. Without the proper use of prepositions, your English will sound weird. Luckily, there are only a handful of prepositions and these are easy to learn.

What is your sports background?
I grew up playing basketball and baseball mainly. I started playing baseball in Little League and I started playing basketball when I was 13. Funny thing is, I actually ended up being really good at basketball though I technically wasn't taught the fundamentals. Played baseball, football, basketball and ran track in high school. By my senior year of high school, I dropped football (got my bell rung during a game, decided I was too frail for all that!), dropped baseball, stopped running track and concentrated on just enjoying basketball. I ended up getting a basketball scholarship to play in college. Played four years!
If you could give new aspiring models one tip, what would it be?
Be courteous and respect peoples times. I always make it a point to introduce myself, hang my clothes up, leave promptly and generally be positive. I think courtesy takes you along way. If I could give another tip, it would be: don't be afraid of rejection. I've been passed over for bookings for things I had in the bag. But it always evens itself out.
A big thank you to Cupid!!
