There was a gravity in his look, but that was not from any gravity of spirits; it was his swarth complexion that gave him this appearance, aided, no doubt, by several lines of "ambeer" proceeding from the corners of his mouth in the direction of the chin.
It is neither fair nor dark, but of a dull-brown colour, lighter around the mouth, where it has been bleached by the sun, "ambeer," and water.
this is an absolutely wonderful word.
Misspelling of mmmmm beer.
Juice from chewing tobacco. (from Phrontistery)

For new questions please post at magento.stackexchange.com, the community-run support site for the Magento community. We will be providing updates on the new forum solution soon. For questions or concerns please email email@example.com.
Hi Magento team!
Any chance you'll release the wireframe template shown in this behind the scenes blog post?
It would be much appreciated and it might make designing issues a lot easier if we had a basic template to modify and explore.
Thanks! Good job guys keep it up!
Hmm… its just a wireframe - there is no template. We don't have much beyond the jpeg you see.
Look for a video screencast how-to of Designing for Magento in the next few days ...
I'll be anxiously waiting for it.
Thanks Roy.

We have been using ACT broadband (now Fibernet) connection for nearly two years. As of now, connection speeds which we get is pretty decent enough. The only issue with ACT is that it forces customers to their web based portal everyday for log-in into their network. Fortunately there is a workaround for bypassing this web based login by automatic login through Wifi router with PPPoe configuration.
Automatic Login ACT Fibernet with Wifi Router PPPoe configuration
In our case,we are using a D-Link wireless router. If you're using a different make router like Belkin or Cisco, please check for similar settings..
Using D-link wifi router, straight forward setting of PPPoe configuration didn't work out for us. After doing the settings, even ACT portal homepage was not opening. So request you guys to do step by step as mentioned below.
First of all, logout of your ACT account. This is important and PPPoe settings will not work without completely logging off your account.
(To completely logoff your account, switch off your wifi and directly connect the ACT lan cable to your laptop. Go to http://portal.acttv.in/ and first login and then logout from your account.)
Now switch on your wifi (don't connect ACT cable). Login to your wifi router configuration page. http://192.168.0.1/index.asp
Once you login, click on Manual Setup icon.
In the setup page, click on "Internet connection"
Now click on the Manual Internet Connection Setup option. See image(click to enlarge).
Choose internet connection as PPPoe(username/ password) option as shown below.
Now in PPPoe settings, check the below image and do configuration as per that settings.
Enter your ACT login username and password.
Service name should be BLANK.(important)
DNS can be either received from ISP or Manual. We used Google's DNS service.
Connection Mode select: Always
Now click Save settings and reboot your Wifi Router.
Connect your ACT cable to Wifi router and Restart router. Go to ACT portal page( portal.acttv.in) and check whether you've logged in automatically.
If you're not able to login to Act network or if it fails to even load even the portal homepage. Repeat the above steps after completely logging out the portal.(steps mentioned above)
If you're still facing problems configuring Automatic login in ACT broadband through PPPoe settings mention them in comments.

]]>While taking snapshots from Adobe reader, you might have noticed the reduction in clarity of the output images. Is it possible to increase the clarity or resolution of the PDF snapshots? Yes. There is an option in PDF reader settings to increase resolution of PDF snapshots, which most of us haven't noticed yet.
I was facing this problem for quite a while, until I decided to dig into the 'preferences' of Adobe reader to find the appropriate settings. I increased the screenshot resolution, and after pasting the snapshot into Microsoft word or MS Paint, the quality of screenshot was perfect.
Related: How to remove PDF passwords
Open Adobe Reader.
Go to Edit > Preferences.
From Categories, select General.
In Basic Tools, You can find an option, Use fixed resolution for snapshot tool images. (see below image)
Tick that option and select appropriate pixels/inch value. You can select a value between 1 to 720. For me, a value between 300-400 was working fine.
Click Ok.
Now open any PDF file and capture snapshot (Edit> Take a Snapshot) and paste to MS word or MS paint. You will find the increase in resolution of the image.
If you have any query regarding increasing snapshot quality of PDF reader, please let me know in comments.

]]>Do you want to track how much you use your phone daily? How much time you spend looking at your phone?
There a few apps which helps us track how much time we spend on our phone. Checkout these iphone usage tracking apps.
1. Checky
Checky app for iOS tracks how many times you take the phone out of your pocket. It monitors how often you glance at your smartphone and shows the count for the entire day. For me it came around 86 times a day, which means 86 times I unlocked & checked my phone for some reason, be it whatsapp messages or mail notifications. This awareness can help you make changes to your phone usage, if you feel you need to make a change! Only disadvantage is that it will using location data always and can drain your battery.
Download Checky for iOS (appstore link)
2. Moments
Moments tracks exactly how many minutes you spend on the phone rather than how many times you took it out. It shows how much time you spend with your phone each day. If you are using your phone too much, you can set daily limits and be alerted when you go over those limits. Once setup, Moment runs in the background and tracks your usage. This app also requires your iOS location data always and I found to be much more battery consuming that checky app.
Download Moments for iOS (Appstore link)

]]>Google maps is one the best tools for getting route map for visiting a particular location. It will provide you different ways to reach a destination depending on distance as well as traffic conditions. But in certain situations, the routes suggested by Google maps might not be perfect and we have to ask our friends to give us the exact route. So in that case, Google maps has an option were we can create custom route navigation map and share it with friends.
Lets take in the case of a roadtrip where multiple persons will be joining from different locations. In this case its' better to create a custom road map with Google maps and share it with everyone so that the navigation route for the trip is clear. In this post, I'll show you how to create a custom route map using Google maps.
How to create custom road map using Google maps for roadtrips
Go to Google Maps Engine website.
Click on New Map.
A new google maps untitled window will be opened. Search for the place where you want to create custom map.
First of all, we have to add directions from the starting place to destination. To add directions, click on add direction icon which appears near the search field.
I will show an example which I created while planning a road trip from Bangalore to Goa. I added started place as Koramangala, Bangalore and destination as Panjim, Goa. If you want to add additional directions, click on add destinations. To change route, click on the route and drag the white dot.
So now have created your maps with custom route, it's time to add placemarks, meeting points, restaurants, hotels or famous landmarks. For this it's better to create a new layer. Add a layer called hotel where you can list out all the good hotels which are on way. Now click on this layer and search for the business, address, or point of interest that you want to add. A new layer appear in the left panel and your results will show as green pins on the map. Select a pin from the map to see more information like the name and address. If you want to add that pin to your layers, click Add to map.
You can also add photos to enrich your maps experience. Click on the placemark and then click on edit icon and then from menu select camera icon to add your your images or videos. Click save and your changes will appear in the field.
You can see in my maps, i have created placemarks of some hotels which are our stopping points and also some must visit beaches in goa. See my Bangalore to Goa custom google maps, which is the easiest and best route via karwar! Must visit beaches of Goa also added in maps.
That's it. Hope this helps you easily organize and manage your trip using google maps.

]]>After using the Sony Vaio Ultrabook P13 for more than a month, I found a strange problem when running in battery. The screen tries to automatically adjust the brightness every now and then. In this post, I'll show you how to disable automatic screen brightness control in Sony Vaio Ultrabook Pro 13 or Pro 11.
(Update:Initially it seemed to be a problem with the light sensor, but turned out to be a problem with Intel graphics driver. Driver update could solve this problem, Please read the end of post)
If you're facing the same problem as me with the screen flickering to adjust brightness automatically when running in battery, just follow the steps mentioned below. Sony Vaio Ultrabook runs on Windows 8 platform.
Go to Sony Vaio Control center.
Select Image Quality from the left options.
Turn off the option which enables automatic adjustment of Display brightness.
But even after turning this option off, I was facing the same problem while running in battery. So had to dig inside all the display options to find the setting hidden in Intel Graphics control panel.
Related: Download Windows 8 Full Edition
Open Intel HD graphics control panel. (if you can't find, search for it in start screen)
From the options select Power, and then on battery and turn off display power saving technology.
Update: The problem is now solved with the latest patch of Intel Graphics Driver. Just install the update for your version of Sony Vaio. I installed the update from this link for my model. This program will update Graphics Driver (Intel) to version 184.108.40.20665 and will resolve the following symptom:- Sometimes the LCD brightness level changes every time an operation is performed.
Update: 22/10/2013
After doing the above update, another problem started appearing related to display auto brightness problem. When my laptop resumes from sleep, the brightness control doesn't work. And I'm not able to adjust brightness through the keyboard or power options. After restarting laptop, brightness adjustments will work again. This problem finally solved after doing the below procedure.
1. Turn ON your Sony VAIO.
2. Press Assist button
3. Go to Advance tools << Select Recovery and Restore option << Select Reinstall application and driver.
4. Click on next button << Select SFEP driver/Sony Shared library/Vaio Notebook Utility.
5. Click on start reinstall.
6. Shutdown your Sony VAIO and Restart after 15 minutes.
If you're facing the problem related to brightness control in sony vaio, please post them in comments.

CAIRO— POLITICAL slogans tend to long outlive their authors in this part of the world and none is more enduring, or more musty with age, than the 1950's-vintage catch phrase ''Arab unity.''
Ten years have passed since all 22 leaders of Arab League countries last gathered for a summit meeting, which was held here, in the aftermath of Iraq's surprise invasion of Kuwait on Aug. 2, 1990. It was not a pretty sight, marred by food fights between angry Kuwaiti sheiks and bellicose Iraqi officials, and by recriminations and vacillation all around.
Now, at the urging of the Palestinians, a few Arab leaders like Egypt's President Hosni Mubarak and Jordan's King Abdullah have renewed the perennial call for a new summit meeting, this time billed as an emergency meeting for Arabs to regroup after the failure at Camp David and to counter the spin from Washington that the breakdown was due solely to Arab recalcitrance. Chances for a summit meeting and a new Arab consensus are slim, Arab officials now say. Still, the chimera of a united Arab front continues to shimmer on the horizon -- and, suddenly, not just for the Arabs.
The United States has long found the Arabs' fractiousness useful in promoting bilateral peace talks and maintaining sanctions on Iraq. But now Edward Walker, the American assistant secretary of state, has been sent on a tour of Arab states that maintain relations with the United States; he is asking leaders to persuade Mr. Arafat to accept Israeli and American proposals for a final peace.
The centerpiece of those proposals is an offer of shared administration of Arab East Jerusalem, but not of sovereignty over it. So far, the public reaction to Mr. Walker's trip has been resentment that the United States seems to be calling in its chits in the Arab world.
''True, the Arab state of affairs is sufficiently dismal to foreclose a decisive pan-Arab stand on Jerusalem and the need to restore Arab sovereignty over its eastern sector,'' wrote Joseph Samaha, a Lebanese analyst for the international Arabic daily newspaper Al Hayat. ''But it's not that bad that the Arabs will concede the loss of the city to Israel forever.''
If a less fragmented Arab leadership would be helpful to Washington and Israel for the first time in a decade -- and helpful to Arabs who are nostalgic for the days when, collectively, they counted for more -- it is also much harder to nail down now.
First, the internal political and economic situation in the Arab world is more fragile than it was a decade ago, when Washington could stitch together an anti-Iraq alliance that included most Arab nations and then proceed to establish its own primacy in the region, where many countries are beggars for money and arms.
Long-serving military figures who once could simply impose their will on their people, like King Hussein of Jordan and Hafez al-Assad of Syria, are gone. The nations they left behind for their sons and successors suffer under sick economies with raging unemployment. Moreover, their heirs are still consolidating power, making them more sensitive to hints of internal discontent and to the threat, real or not, of minority extremists who criticize anything that seems to be catering to Israel or the West.
At the same time, the new cast of characters in Arab politics is theoretically more free of the constraints of history than the old.
King Hussein and President Assad, along with the assassinated Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin, were warriors of the Arab-Israeli conflict. Mr. Rabin carried an aura of victory, as the former commander in the 1967 war, in which Jordan and Syria lost big chunks of territory to Israel. But their 1967 defeats, and their failure to regain either the West Bank or the Golan Heights through war or diplomacy, weighed heavily on the shoulders of the two Arab leaders.
THE history of the Syrian and Jordanian leaders also contributed mightily to the lack of Arab unity. No friends of each other, both also had hostile relations with Mr. Arafat, as did the late King Hassan of Morocco, another leader who has bequeathed a regime to his son.
While their absence from the scene could be considered helpful to peacemaking and Arab unity, the legacy they left of failing economies and ideologically rigid governments may sabotage those goals for their heirs.
''The baggage of history on their sons is just as great,'' said Kamel Abu Jaber, a former Jordanian foreign minister who is now president of the Jordanian Institute for Diplomacy. ''That's the historical danger of Camp David. It may revive in these young leaders, who may be willing to compromise, a tendency to refreeze into rigid attitudes.''
More than ever, the Arab world is also running at different speeds.
Islamic fundamentalist movements, while brutally suppressed in places like Egypt and Syria, are still alive and well elsewhere. The ruling family of Saudi Arabia feels under constant threat from extremists inside and outside the country who criticize it for the continued presence of American troops on its soil. Fundamentalist groups opposed to the Saudi policy of cool cooperation with the West send out streams of e-mails each day accusing the royals of corruption and decadence.
In Kuwait, a new alliance of Islamists and nationalists has warned the government against making contacts with Israel or Israelis. So while people in Jordan, Syria, Lebanon and Egypt may yearn for the presumed economic benefits of a comprehensive peace, the domestic message to the rulers in the Gulf is far different. ''Nobody here cares about the supposed economic benefits,'' said Ahmed al-Baghdadi, a professor of political science at Kuwait University. ''In contrast, the religious movement in the National Assembly is very strong.''
SO the Old City, a tiny island that contains sites holy to Islam, Christianity and Judaism, may be the one topic that can unite the Arab world.
''The place where Jesus Christ was resurrected, where Omar built his mosque, where the Prophet Mohammed ascended to heaven -- that's not big stuff?'' commented Abdel Moneim Said, director of the Al Ahram Center for Political and Strategic Studies. ''It's in the Koran. It's in the prayers.''
A number of Arab analysts warn that those concerned with the Middle East should be careful of what they wish for. Unity in the Middle East has historically been reactive: a collective ''no.'' The Arab League was created in 1949 to organize opposition to the state of Israel. The Organization of the Islamic Conference, a broader group, was created in 1969 to focus Muslim anger at an attempt by a Christian extremist in Jerusalem to burn down Al Aksa mosque.
In the end, if a final peace settlement is the goal, the region may be better served by disunity, with each nation following its own interests and path.
''If there is a final settlement, then here in Jordan at least we hopefully can start talking about a country that is concerned about something other than the Palestinian question,'' said Adnan Abu Odeh, a former adviser to Jordan's King Hussein. ''These days, unfortunately, the region is clouded with illusions.''

This game was the best. The story line continued to expand, for better or for worse. It was great to have consequences for not fully completing a mission. This game was ahead of it's time; too bad the original cannot run on modern computers (unless you are very, very quick).

Oh, Rih Rih
Last week Rihanna had to cancel a few tour dates due to laryngitis and the flu, but she's back and in action. Well... kind of. Unfortunately at Rih's show last night in Montreal her Navy had to wait a reported TWO hours for the singer to hit the stage. Hopefully this was an isolated incident. Keep truckin'!

Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol
Improving Standards in English through Drama at Key Stage 3 and GCSE
Perfect for pupils aged 11+, this play edition of Dicken's classic tale uses John Mortimer's much-loved dramatisation first produced by the RSC in 1994. It features an extensive section of classroom activities created by leading national experts in using Drama within English, Paul Bunyan and Ruth Moore. The scheme of work reflects all the latest requirements for KS3 and the new English GCSEs andRumpole and the Reign of Terror
John Mortimer's bestselling barrister is back, in his most timely case yet Just in case Rumpole and the Penge Bungalow Murders gave fans the impression that the Great Defender was resting on his laurels, his new case sends him at full sail into our panicky new world. Rumpole is asked to defend a Pakistani doctor who has been imprisoned without charge or trial on suspicion of aiding Al Qaeda.The Best of the Rumpole Stories
John Mortimer—novelist, playwright, memoirist, and the author of more than eighty Rumpole short stories—will never be forgotten. While still a practicing barrister, Mortimer took up the pen, and the rest is literary history. His stories featuring the cigar-chomping, cheap-wine-tippling Rumpole and his wife, Hilda (aka "She Who Must Be Obeyed"), have justly earned their place in the pantheon ofRumpole and the Penge Bungalow Murders
The Rumpole renaissance continues to build, and now the beloved barrister's many followers have a special reason to rejoice: a sensational full-length Rumpole novel that at last relates the oft-mentioned but never revealed story of Rumpole's first case, the Penge Bungalow affair. Looking back half a century into a very different world, Rumpole recalls a man accused of murdering his father and his

WorldSpace to carry out trials soon
By Our Science Correspondent
BANGALORE, JULY 29. WorldSpace, a U.S. based company whose
satellites beam digital audio broadcasts to developing countries,
is planning to use its satellites' digital capabilities for some
novel efforts in distance education. Some of the early trials are
to be carried out in India.
WorldSpace now has two satellites in orbit, the AfriStar covering
Africa and West Asia and AsiaStar covering South and East Asia.
AmeriStar, for coverage of the Americas, is to be launched later
this year. Each satellite has three beams, with each beam
providing 50 channels of CD-quality stereo sound to an area of
more than 10 million sq. km.
But as Dr. S. Rangarajan, Senior Vice-President at the WorldSpace
headquarters in Washington D.C., points out the WorldSpace
satellites can do much more than act as space-based radio
stations. With their onboard digital capabilities, these
satellites can pump up to 128 kilo bits per second of data
through one channel. The data can be text, audio, video or a mix
of these.
WorldSpace has launched a PC card (which would become available
in India later this year) and the company plans to start
disseminating high quality Internet content directly to the PC.
Those with WorldSpace audio receivers can hook them to the
computer and receive the content with an add-on adapter.
The trials which WorldSpace plans in India will attempt to
harness these digital capabilities for distance education. Using
software developed for WorldSpace by the Bangalore-based company,
Sankya Systems, subscribers will almost feel as if they are in a
classroom. Lectures or talks need not only be a disembodied voice
droning on as with a radio. It will be possible to have visuals,
such as slides, synchronised with the talk. The lecturers will be
able to draw diagrams or write equations, as they would in a
classroom, and these will promptly appear on the subscribers'
computer screens. If listeners want to ask questions to the
lecturer, the software has a provision for them to send the query
over the Internet.
The WorldSpace Mixed Mode Delivery (MMD) services could
economically cater to a wide range of distance education needs in
a developing country, according to Dr. Rangarajan. It scores over
television and radio because its high-speed digital signals allow
flexibility in combining audio, visual and textual material. In
developing countries where Internet is still to penetrate and
bandwidth is often expensive, WorldSpace's digital data signals
can be picked up anywhere in its coverage area with a relatively
low-cost receiver.
There was considerable interest in WorldSpace's MMD capabilities
for distance education, not just in India but in African
countries also, Dr. Rangarajan told The Hindu. Even the World
Bank wanted to see if WorldSpace could be used for training its
field staff, he added.

17-year-old Ashley Longe of South Hadley was arrested for drunken driving on August 31st it has been revealed.
Longe is one of six teens charged in the bullying death of Irish girl Phoebe Prince who committed suicide in January.
Another teen, Austin Renaud, was also charged with drunk driving earlier this year.
Police said Longe was arrested for operating a vehicle while under the influence of alcohol. She had pleaded not guilty to the charges.
Longe was the former girlfriend of school football star Sean Mulveyhill at South Hadley High and she was incensed that Phoebe Prince had an affair with him.
Ashley Longe, and her friend Kayla Narey began organizing hurling insults at her. Both were members of the school's field hockey team.
On the last day of Phoebe's life it was Mulveyhill, Longe and Narey who surrounded her as she walked to class. She tried to escape but they followed her outside and threatened her. Later that day Prince hung herself.
Longe has pleaded not guilty to criminal harassment and other charges in the Phoebe Prince case.

The Economic Impact of Autism on Families
The Economic Impact of Autism on Families. May 31 2012 Guest post by Laura McKenna, former political science professor, blogger, and freelance writer.
After parents first receive the news from a doctor or a teacher that their child is on the autistic spectrum, there is an inevitable period of grieving as they process the news. They must accept the fact that their child will face serious challenges and may miss out on the milestone events -- a home run on the Little League game, a driver's license, the prom -- that other parents proudly post on their Facebook page.
Most parents get over it. The child will have his own achievements and will reach different milestones, which are treasured as much as the traditional ones. Parental love and pride pushes aside the devastation.
However, once the parent overcomes that grieving process, they have to endure a lifetime of smaller cuts. The therapy, which is so necessary for the child's success, is very expensive. Parents will fight insurance companies and school districts to cover the costs. Often, they are unsuccessful, and they must deplete family bank accounts. They face hostile school districts and community members who accuse the family of stealing their children's money. Families become drained both emotionally and financially.
Working on their children's behalf becomes a full-time job. One parent, often the mother, either stops working or works less hours, in order to manage the educational and therapy of the child. She must shuttle the child long distances to find the right services. She must navigate the health care bureaucracy. She must meet frequently with teachers and constantly negotiate with the school district to get the therapy that their children need.
In an article in USA Today, Ricardo Dolmetsch, an associate professor of neurobiology at Stanford University, says his son's autism diagnosis has changed both his personal and professional life.
This work was made more difficult, Dolmetsch says, by the fact that caring for a child with a disability is a full-time job. Although his wife, neurobiologist Asha Nigh, supports his research, such as through managing projects and writing grant proposals, she has put her own scientific career on hold in order to care for their son and his brother, age 7. In his opinion, Dolmetsch says, his wife has earned an honorary doctorate "in getting insurance coverage for stuff."
"The finances of autism are brutal," Dolmetsch says. "The amount of continuous care these kids need is a lot. ... The only thing that works at all are behavioral treatments," which, depending on the state and one's health plan, may not be covered by insurance, he says. "They're very intensive... and they're horrifyingly expensive."
Dolmetch's experiences are not unique. A recent study looked at cost of autism on families. The research was conducted by David Mandell, associate director of the Center for Autism Research at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia and associate director of the Center for Mental Health Policy and Services Research at the University of Pennsylvania, in Philadelphia.
Mandell found that mothers of children with autism earned, on average, less than $21,000 a year. That was 56 percent less than mothers whose children had no health limitations and 35 percent less than mothers whose children had other health limitations.
All this work makes a real difference for the child. A study coming from Columbia found that kids who outgrew many of their autistic characteristics received early, intensive therapy, which was facilitated by parents with more education and financial wherewithal.
As the reported cases of autism have soared in recent years, so have the overall costs. Some estimate that autism costs society $137 billion per year. And nobody wants to pick up that big tab. Autism falls into a black hole between medical and educational services. Insurance companies expect schools to pay, and schools want the insurance companies to pay.
Parents who have the educational and financial resources can provide these therapies for their children. They pay for it themselves. They move to wealthier school districts. They hire lawyers. They spend hours on the phone with insurance companies. They network with other parents to learn about new doctors and compare services in other school districts. Parents who don't have those resources are unable to get the right help for their children.
What should be done? My co-blogger, Dr. Manhattan, will follow up with one proposal.

I went into the Ashley Stewart store on Broad and Glewwood Ave this weekend to return items and purchase new items. The manager of that store is African American. She is the rudest manager I have encounter in quite a while. She had the nastiest attitude and said a few smart comments to me. I left there and went to another store close to my house. I will never again EVER go to that store and that manager needs to be fired, you could tell she didn't want to be at work, but no need to take it out on the rest of us who come to Ashley Stewart looking for quality customer service.
ReplyDeleteI'm very upset!!! I placed a order the day after Thanksgiving November 28,2014. I still have not received my package. What I'm I going to do for Christmas Gifts? I will NEVER order from Ashley Stewart again...

The timing coincides with Oakland County's introduction of its "Technology Planning Tool Kit" at workshops held for community officials. The purpose of the Tool Kit is to help planning officials update their planning documents and procedures using technology-based activities so their communities become competitive in the "knowledge" economy.
Dave Payne, Bloomfield Township Supervisor, said, "Bloomfield Township is the first community in Oakland County to use this tool. The Clearzoning ordinance will set a new standard for effectively communicating zoning requirements with the public. We will use the full capabilities of Clearzoning by expanding the use of color zoning illustrations and providing hyperlinks to application forms that can be filled in online."

Clearzoning is a municipal ordinance and code company that transforms zoning ordinances and other development regulations into illustrated, hyperlinked, digital documents that are user friendly.

Plug-in hybrid car buying guide
Three years ago there was less than handful of plug-in hybrid models available in the UK. However, those numbers have been increasingly steadily and 2015 is set to follow that pattern as manufacturers make a commitment to plug-in hybrid drivetrains.
Who should buy a plug-in hybrid car?
Plug-in hybrids essentially offer most of the benefits of conventional hybrids, with the additional option of being able to operate in zero-emission, electric-only mode.
Plug-in hybrid cars therefore can be considered by most car buyers as a real option – with the one caveat being their higher purchase price. In hybrid mode, plug-in hybrids perform particularly well in urban start-stop driving conditions, with the battery recouping some of the energy that would otherwise be lost during braking. In electric-only mode, they also offer a zero-emission driving during which time the car is driven solely on electric power.
It should be noted, however, that in order to make the most out of the electric motor, you ideally need access to a garage, drive or other off-street parking area to recharge an electric car overnight. Recent research suggests that around 80% of UK car-owning households already have access to a garage or other off-street parking facility (<50% urban, 70% sub-urban, and >95% rural).
Unless proper provision is made with the permissions of your the local authority, it is not advisable to trail an electric cable across pavements or other public areas to connect a car parked on-street with your household electricity supply.
The only type of driving not particularly suited to plug-in hybrids is regular long-distance driving typical of company cars used on business. During motorway use, the plug-in hybrid power-train adds little to the efficiency of the engine at high constant power – and long distance driving will take the car beyond the electric-only range. In this situation, a fuel-efficient diesel with a particulate filter would probably be a better option.
What models are available now?
There are an increasing number of plug-in hybrids avaliable in various vehcile classes such as the Mitsubishi Outlander SUV and BMW i3 supermini.
Toyota's plug-in hybrid Prius is essentially the same as the existing Prius with a larger capacity battery and a mains charging plug; and takes the hybrid Prius one step closer to being a battery electric car.
However, as the number of conventional hybrid models continues to increase year on year, and all electric cars become more widely accepted, more plug-in hybrids will be launched for drivers who want a car that is capable of electric-only mode, but one that not limited to a 100 miles range as is the case for most electric vehicles.
While plug-in hybrids are more expensive than conventional cars, a Plug-in Car Grant is available that subsidises the purchase of qualifying cars. The grant is worth 25% of the cost of the vehicle up to a maximum of £5,000. The models that qualify for the Grant currently include at least eight plug-in hybrid cars.
To be eligible under the grant scheme, plug-in hybrids must satisfy the following:
*Only new cars are eligible; including pre-registration conversions.
*Tailpipe vehicles emissions must be 75 gCO2/km or less.
*Plug-in hybrid EVs (PHEVs) must have an electric range of at least 10 miles.
*Vehicles must be able to reach a speed of at least 60 mph.

Re: God-given duty (Letters, June 6). I was not aware that it is a "God-given duty" for parents to provide sex education to their children. If more parents would actually exercise this divine right, then perhaps there would not be such a need for school teachers to pick up the slack.
Unfortunately, those parents who protest compulsory sex education are probably the same parents who themselves will not educate their children. Indeed, many such parents would seem to prefer to leave their children ignorant or misinformed, naively thinking that their children will abstain from sex until marriage.
And let us not denigrate the word "education" by pairing it with the words "abstinence only." It has been demonstrated that abstinence indoctrination generally only delays the onset of sexual activity by a few months, at which point the parties are less likely to take risk-reducing steps, thanks to their relative ignorance.
It should be trite to reference the myriad studies that show sex education reduces the risks associated with sex and that it does not, in fact, sexualize children any more than they already are or will be.
These are reasons why schools should provide sex education to students. But what about the parents? The fact that we still have parents who think the fluid concepts of gender and sexuality (i.e. homosexuality) are immoral indicates that some parents should probably be joining their children in these sex-education classes.
