The Siemens Desiro is a family of diesel or electric multiple unit passenger trains developed by Siemens Mobility, a division of the German Siemens AG conglomerate.[1] The main variants are the Desiro Classic, Desiro ML, Desiro UK and the later Desiro City, Desiro HC and Desiro RUS. The trains are mostly used for commuter and regional services,[1] and their rapid acceleration makes them suitable for services with short distances between stations. The design is flexible, and has become common in many European countries.

Desiro Classic[edit]
Austrian Federal Railways (ÖBB) is using about 60 diesel-powered Desiro trains designated as ÖBB 5022. These are based on the Class 642 used by Deutsche Bahn, but have some additional safety equipment.[clarification needed]
In 2005 and 2006, the Bulgarian State Railways began operating Desiro trains as part of a 67 million Euro deal with Siemens AG for a total of 25 Diesel multiple units.[2] As of 22 March 2006, 16 trains had been delivered, with many of them operating on the Sofia-Kyustendil-Sofia line. Another 117 million Euro deal for 25 EMUs has also been signed with Siemens AG. The EMUs were fitted out in Varna, where BDZ and Siemens AG are intending to establish a joint venture company. The EMUs are designated classes 30 and 31 and are servicing traffic in the Sofia and Plovdiv areas.

Private railway company Arriva vlaky operate with one Desiro train from Deutsche Bahn (DB).
In Denmark DSB has rented 12 Desiro trains since 2002. The trains are primarily used between Odense and Svendborg and between Odense and Fredericia. On 2 July 2009 DSB signed a contract of eight trains from Siemens for Grenaabanen, which entered service on 12 December 2010, with an option for 92 more.[3] The trains extend to Odder from December 2012, starting the light rail network in Aarhus city.[4]
Nordjyske Jernbaner used Desiro trains since 2004 on all its operations. Today the company owns eight Desiro trains.
Germany's Deutsche Bahn introduced two-car Desiro DMUs for local services in 2000. With a top speed of 120 km/h (75 mph), these Class 642 units are mainly used on branch lines and regional lines. Besides the 234 units purchased by DB in 2007, various private German rail companies are also using Desiro DMUs.
The Class 642 is equipped with two MTU diesel engines with an output of 275 or 315 kW (369 or 422 hp) each and hydro-mechanical transmission with retarders. It typically contains 100 seats. When linked together with Scharfenberg couplers, up to three trainsets can be operated together. The Desiros are quite popular with most passengers, thanks to their good acceleration. Because they have often replaced push/pull trains, their shorter journey times, such as on the Müglitz Valley Railway, have encouraged greater passenger numbers.
Originally DB intended to operate together modern DMUs purchased from different manufacturers, but due to software incompatibilities this proved to be impossible. Therefore, the Class 642 can only be mechanically coupled with other DMUs like the Class 643.
In Greece eight diesel DMU-2 Desiro trains (OSE class 660) were temporarily in service with the Hellenic Railways Organisation (OSE) during 2004–2006, and again in 2007 on the Athens–Chalkida line and on the Athens suburban railway lines (Proastiakos). Afterwards they were returned to their owner (Hellenic Shipyards S.A.) in December 2007. In the late 2008 Hellenic Shipyards/MAN-FERROSTAAL leased the eight units to Hungary with a contract for 20 years.[5]
OSE owns and TRAINOSE operates twenty electric Desiro EMU-5 (OSE class 460) equipped for the 25-kV overhead catenary system. They operate on the Kiato–Athens International Airport suburban line and as a stopping service on the mainline between Thessaloniki and Larissa, which is also advertised as a suburban service. OSE is in litigation with the Joint Venture of Siemens & Hellenic Shipyards for the supply of those 20 Desiro.

At present 31 diesel Desiros are in service with MÁV (including the eight units from Greece), mainly as suburban trains on the regional line between Budapest-Esztergom and Budapest - Lajosmizse and as an InterCity between Budapest and Baja. On weekends the units also used as peak inter-city trains from Budapest to Baja and Sátoraljaújhely and as fast trains from Budapest to Tapolca. During the summer months (when fewer units are used on the Budapest suburban routes) Desiros appear on some local train diagram on the north shore of the Lake Balaton.
The 57 km (35 mi) KLIA Ekspres and KLIA Transit airport rail link uses the Desiro ET 425 M four-car Electric Multiple Units.[6] 12 trainsets are currently in operation. Eight trains are used for the non-stop Express Rail Service service between Kuala Lumpur's central station and airport while another four trains serve five stations on the Commuter Rail Service, also operates between Kuala Lumpur's central station and airport. These EMUs have a maximum commercial speed of 160 km/h (99 mph) and this service was the fastest in Malaysia.
Căile Ferate Române (CFR), Romania's national railway operator, is one of the largest users of the Siemens Desiro trainsets (as the light train variant). CFR, which is currently undergoing modernisation, has bought 120 diesel Desiro trainsets and uses them for all types of train, including its "Inter Regio", and "Regio" inter-city services, but mainly on its "Inter Regio" trains. There was some criticism of the use of Desiros for CFR's long-distance services because they were considered to be uncomfortable. CFR has recently refitted them, and is now using Desiros mainly on its medium- and short-distance routes. For example, it is planning to use them as part of a proposed commuter link in Bucharest and Ilfov county. For more information on routes, see Căile Ferate Române.
Slovenian Railways operates 30 electric Desiro units that are designated as Desiro EMG 312 SR 31E. They are used as commuter stopping trains on electrified lines, i.e., from Ljubljana to Koper, Jesenice (via Kranj), Maribor and Dobova (via Zidani Most).
United States[edit]
The Sprinter light rail system employs VT642 Desiro diesel units. It serves Northern San Diego County, California, United States between Oceanside and Escondido along a 35 km (22 mi) railway line. Twelve married pairs were delivered in August 2006 to the operator North County Transit District (NCTD). Service began on 9 March 2008, serving fifteen stations.
Mountain Rail, one of two competing coalitions bidding on a large portion of FasTracks in Denver, appear to pitching a Siemens Desiro ML derived vehicle that is Federal Railroad Administration compliant. Both EMU and DMU units would be used for the Northwest Corridor, North Metro Corridor and Gold Line.
Desiro Mainline[edit]
In April 2010 ÖBB signed a framework agreement for up to 200 Desiro ML trains.[7]
In 2008 NMBS/SNCB ordered 95 Desiro ML trains, with options for up to 300.[8] In 2013, the order of the final 250 trains was suspended because of technical problems with the trains already running. The company is seeking damages from Siemens for these problems which caused many delays. Siemens had already been fined €25 million for the late delivery of the first batch of trains.[9] The order for all units was confirmed in 2013 and in March 2015 the last two arrived.
In August 2014 the head of the NMBS/SNCB explained to the newspapers that the Desiro trains need repairing too often, i.e., at a rate of one technical intervention per 8000 kilometers.[10] The trains are used heavily on the Brussels Regional Express Network, but also InterCitylines between Antwerp and Ghent and on lines with lower voltage in the Belgian Ardennes where they replaced diesel-trains.
Desiro ML Mittelrheinbahn is used by the private rail operator trans regio for regional services between Cologne and Mainz on the left bank of the Rhine.[11] The EMUs are leased from Angel Trains and received the class number 460 by the Eisenbahnbundesamt, the federal railway authority (the unpowered middle carriages have the class number 860). The 15 kV AC overhead line EMUs have a top speed of 160 km/h (99 mph); however they are limited by the EBA to 150 km/h (93 mph) on account of insufficient braking power from 160 km/h (99 mph). All cars use conventional bogies and additional middle carriages can be added later.
Desiro RUS[edit]
Desiro RUS, designated ES1, is 1,520 mm (4 ft 11 27⁄32 in) broad gauge electric commuter and regional train developed for Russian railways, which calls them Lastochka (English: Swallow).[12]
In January 2013 RZD began putting into service the first 18 trains from the initial order for 38. In mid-2013 a joint venture between Siemens and Ural Locomotives began production of the second batch of 16 trains at a factory in Ekaterinburg. The first train was assembled in June 2014. 62% of its components were produced locally. The factory is expected to supply 240 trains by 2021.[13]
In 2011 RZD ordered 1,200 cars from Ural Locomotives. Local content is to be increased to 80 percent. Siemens also has an order for maintenance of rolling stock for a period of 40 years. The contracts with the Siemens is estimated at 2.5 billion euros.
Desiro UK[edit]
Nine 25 kV AC Desiro UK EMUs based on the Heathrow Connect Class 360/2 are used for the Suvarnabhumi Airport Link which provides express and local services between Phaya Thai Station and Suvarnabhumi Airport.[14]
United Kingdom[edit]
Siemens uses the name Desiro UK for the DMU and EMU trains operated by various United Kingdom train operators. These trains have a completely different design to the lighter Desiro Classic variant. The trainsets have modern equipment such as toilet waste retention tanks, ergonomic seats, and automated information displays with spoken announcements. All the units are owned by rolling stock operating companies (ROSCOs), apart from the 360/2s which are owned by Heathrow Airport Holdings for the Heathrow Express and Heathrow Connect services. The 350/1, 360/1, 444 and 450 electric units are owned by Angel Trains, the Class 350/2s are owned by Porterbrook and Class 380s are owned by Eversholt Rail Group; the diesel units are owned by Eversholt Rail Group. The companies lease their units to the train operators.

The first electric Desiro UK units were ordered by South West Trains for both short and long distance service out of London Waterloo to Alton, Basingstoke and the Hampshire/Dorset coast, to replace its Mark 1 slam door EMUs, which were due for replacement as most were more than 40 years old and did not meet modern health and safety requirements. They became two different classes, both of which use the 750 V DC third-rail power supply. One hundred and ten Class 450 four-car units for commuter services entered service in 2003, and 45 Class 444 five-car units for long-distance inter-city services entered service in 2004. An additional order for a further 17 Class 450 units was placed, with the trains in service by late 2006 and early 2007.
Former East Anglia train operator First Great Eastern acquired 21 Class 360 four-car units which operate from 25 kV overhead electrical supply for services from London Liverpool Street to Clacton-on-Sea and Ipswich. These entered service in 2003.
For the stopping service between London Paddington and Heathrow Airport called Heathrow Connect, five Class 360 five-car units were originally acquired and entered service in June 2005. However, Heathrow Express has acquired one for use on internal shuttle services.
As part of the modernisation of the West Coast Main Line, the former Strategic Rail Authority ordered 30 Class 350 dual-voltage sets for use on stopping services.[when?] They are operated by London Midland. These units were originally ordered as Class 450 third-rail units for South West Trains, but following a review by the Strategic Rail Authority they were diverted to the West Coast. The dual-voltage capability has only been used in service on temporary loan to Southern on Milton Keynes Central – East Croydon services whilst covering for a shortfall of Southern Class 377 Electrostar units. The units have been praised for their air conditioning, accessibility and performance, but criticised for their comfort (newer units have 3+2 seating). Thirty Class 350/1 four-car units entered service in 2005, and in 2008/9 a further 37 Class 350/2 four-car units entered service.
On 11 July 2008, First ScotRail ordered a number of Class 380 EMUs for delivery in 2010. The order was for 22 three-car and 16 four-car units.[15] Entry to service began 8 December 2010. Inverclyde Line, Ayrshire Coast Line of the Class 318, Class 334 "Juniper" was introduced to replace the fleet, and the North Berwick line Class 322 trains have been replaced.
To fulfil their franchise commitment, First TransPennine Express ordered the first diesel variant of the Desiro UK for use on its inter-city services across the north of England and over the border in southern Scotland. 51 three-car units designated as Class 185 entered service in 2006.
Desiro City[edit]
Desiro City is a high-capacity commuter EMU for the UK market building on the Desiro UK and Desiro Mainline, with a reduction in weight and energy use, and with 'fly-by-wire' controls.[16]
A £1.6 billion order for 115 eight-car and twelve-car units (1,150 vehicles) for the Thameslink rolling stock programme was awarded in 2011 and finalised in 2013. The vehicles were given the designation Class 700.
In 2014, South West Trains ordered 30 Class 707 five-car units, at a cost of £210 million.[17]

Desiro HC[edit]
At InnoTrans 2014, Siemens presented its Desiro High Capacity (Desiro HC) offering. The Desiro HC consists of single deck motor cars with up to three intermediate double deck coaches, which combines accessibility with capacity.
In April 2015, Siemens announced that it had won a tender[18] to build a fleet of 82 Desiro HC trains for the Rhine-Ruhr Express project in Germany.
Desiro Double Deck[edit]
A low-floor, double-deck multiple unit.[1]
Swiss Federal Railways operates double-decker, or bilevel, EMUs designated as class SBB RABe 514. They are used as commuter trains in Zürich, as part of the Zürich S-Bahn, where 61 four-car sets have been in operation since 2006.

Gallery: Horrific images emerging following Nice attack
More than 70 people are believed to have been killed after a lorry ploughed into a Bastille Day crowd in Nice.
Footage showed crowds fleeing in terror from the scene in the French city on the Mediterranean coast on Thursday night.
Eyewitnesses reported hearing gunshots and pictures on social media showed armed police with weapons trained on a badly damaged white truck.
Nice mayor Christian Estrosi, who was at the celebration when it happened, tweeted: "Dear people of Nice, the driver of a truck seems to have left dozens dead. Stay for now in your home. More info to come."
French TV channel BFM said President Francois Hollande was returning to Paris from the city of Avignon to hold a crisis meeting at the Interior Ministry.
Colin Srivastava told BBC News: "We were basically sitting just in front of the Old Town in Nice and saw several hundred people running towards us looking panic stricken.
"We tried to ask a few of them what the hell was going on and finally got one that said, 'You need to go, the police have told us to run'.
"Just around about the base of the hill where the castle is in Nice the police came running along and said, 'Run now'.
"We had absolutely no idea what was going on, to be honest with you.
"When we got down into the port in Nice we were told by a few people who'd obviously run faster than we had that there was the story of a lorry that had gone into the people, basically cannoned into the crowd, and there were also shots fired, which is something we didn't hear about until just now on French news."
Bastille Day is France's national day, marking the start of the revolution in 1798 when the prison of the same name was stormed by protesters against the autocratic rule of King Louis XVI.
The Gendarmerie Nationale tweeted: "Emergency operation in progress. Keep calm and avoid downtown area. Follow the official accounts to be informed."
The lorry ploughed through the crowd on Nice's Promenade des Anglais, which is famed as a landmark and runs for some four miles. Below it lies a rocky pebble beach.
It is a popular walking and cycling route and was busy with revellers celebrating and watching fireworks.
A Foreign Office spokesman said: "We are in touch with the local authorities and seeking more information following an apparent attack on Bastille Day celebration in Nice. If you are in the area follow the instructions of the French authorities."
France is still on alert after the Paris terror attacks on November 13, in which 130 people were killed at sites including the Bataclan Theatre and Stade de France.
French president Francois Hollande vowed at the time to destroy the "army of fanatics" responsible for the terrorist attacks.
And in January 2015 the city was rocked by the Charlie Hebdo attack, when 12 people were killed after gunmen stormed the offices of the satirical magazine.
The Foreign Office said it was in touch with local authorities in Nice and was seeking more information following "an apparent attack on Bastille Day celebration in Nice".
It advised anyone in the area to follow the instructions of the French authorities.

6 Ways To Make The Story Of Your Life Impactful
All of us dream of having a life that is impactful and forms a story that may one day be turned into a book or movie. The story of your life is made up of many elements that are also the fundamentals of success.
Unless your life is impactful, no one is ever going to care greatly about your story. Your story is owned by you, and only you can create and determine how much impact it will have. Ask yourself the question right now, does your life have a significant impact? If it doesn't, then it's time to change it.
It's time for you to create something that everyone will remember you for. It's time to turn that dream that you have always had into a reality. This all starts with a decision and often you need some major, painful event to trigger this desire.
Think about the emotions you would feel if the majority of people respected you and were inspired by you. You would be on top of the world, and your life would have meant something. Your name will forever live on, and generations of people will live their lives in dedication to what you stood for.
That sounds like a real vision, and that sounds like a common goal that we should all strive for.
Below are the six ways to make the story of your life impactful.
1. Do something outstanding
Life stories that have a major impact all involve someone doing something outstanding; something that no one thought was possible or that would ever be done. Have you done something outstanding already?
If you haven't, that's okay, but start thinking about what major task you could achieve that would be outstanding. Start thinking about what you're great at or what you could be great at.
This first step is the most crucial and you need to decide on it before you proceed.
There are so many people that never realise that they need to do something outstanding, so just this realisation alone can be empowering in itself. Given the size of this task, it's not going to happen overnight.
When you come to terms with what you are going to do, it will begin to manifest itself in your life. Doing something outstanding ties together passion, giving back, purpose, fulfillment, and many more success attributes that we have all heard before.
The fact that doing something outstanding covers so many of these attributes is the reason why you should dedicate your life to this one task. Once you achieve it, then you have the very rare task of doing it all over again with a new task.
2. Teach Others
Any great story involves some form of learning. Before you can teach other people something, though, you need to teach yourself first. I like to begin with lots of reading across a broad range of topics. This will give you the foundations of what you can teach others.
For me, what I want to teach other people is all about self-development, entrepreneurship and how to reach success. This is no easy task for me but I have devoted a large amount of time to it, and I can see progress every week now.
In the beginning, I didn't see any progress but my mentors told me that eventually I would, and they were right. At the start, I was the student, but now I am becoming the teacher. Each day I get to teach people ideas I have learned myself and translate it into my own language.
Google has meant that education and information is easy to find, but the real task now is for someone to curate and translate the information.
It's this translation of the learning I have done that allows me to create value. The language I speak in is unique, and the ideas are curated by my own mind. When you can begin to do the same thing, then you two can teach others (if you're not already).
I recently got the opportunity to work with a graduate. Initially, I wasn't that excited about the task, but as things progressed, I realised that I had the chance to completely shape his career, which in turn, would shape his life. Anyone can do this and even if it starts with just one graduate, you have the chance to begin to make an impact.
3. Share your story
Once you establish your story and start to create an impact, it's time to share it with others. This doesn't just mean that you share the good moments with some happy Instagram photos – there is much more to it.
The key to sharing your story is that it's about being vulnerable, and sharing the negative moments and failures, and then balancing these out with the positive successes. As you share your story in this way, you will begin to compound the impact your story has on the world.
There are many ways to share your story and I have found the easiest way is online first. As you become more comfortable in sharing your story, you can then start sharing it through video, and then later in person.
With my own story, I am about to start sharing it on video, and then the next step will be through public speaking. I am happy to tell you though that I am not great at public speaking so expect to see me at a local Toastmasters shortly. If you are an expert in public speaking and can help, then feel free to reach out to me.
4. Live your dream at all costs
The only way your story will have any impact is if it is directly hardwired to your dream. You will need to move every obstacle out of the pathway of your life and agree to live this dream no matter what.
Even when all your close friends are out having dinner, there will be times when you will be required to not take the easy route, and not attend so that you can work on your dream. The temptation in these situations will be great which is why your own individual dream needs to be something you have thought about and truly care about.
Your dream is linked to your passion, and when you are in a state of mind where you are doing something you love, you experience high levels of happiness. Happiness then becomes a fuel for your mind, and you subconsciously start to create your story and make an impact without even thinking about it.
5. Show some emotion
To make the story of your life impactful, it needs to contain some emotion. Emotion is what draws people in, and it's what makes it your story. When it comes to the story of your life, the word impact really just means emotion.
You can't fake emotion in your own story. The more real and the rawer the emotion is, the more people will be drawn to it. If your story is full of made up elements, then people can spot the fakeness a mile away.
As I have said before, your pain becomes your success, and your success is often determined by the impact you are having. There is nothing like seeing someone give it all they have got and sharing every amount of emotion they have with you.
You get tingles down your spine; you feel unstoppable, and you want to spend more time with them. These are all things that our brains think about subconsciously all the time. If a thought pops into your head about something you are going to do, and you start thinking about what people will think of that action, just do it and don't think twice.
The chances are that if that action is something that you are worried what others will say about it, it's probably because it has some form of emotion attached to it that requires you to be vulnerable. It's these actions that you should commit to doing if you want to have an impact.
6. Learn to control your mind
The one element you have 100% control over when it comes to the impact of your life story is your mind (assuming you learn to control it). This is no easy task and so many people never master this art. It requires you to study some basic elements of psychology and really understand yourself.
You need to work out what you love, what you hate, what motivates you and what stops you. If you practice this art form every single day, your brain becomes like a muscle and starts to grow. Your ability to make tough decisions becomes easier, and you're drawn closer to your purpose.
"Once the human mind is understood and put to proper use, your impact can become more widespread. You can begin to move closer to the things that you care about most and stay clear of the things you have no interest in" – Tim Denning
The people who have controlled their mind the best usually go on to become leaders in their field. From Warren Buffett, to Tony Robbins to the Dalai Lama; all of them live their life at the highest level.
People from the outside will observe the way you control your mind and begin to be drawn to you because it's such a rarity to have your mind under control and working for you, instead of against you.
Everything I have just mentioned starts with a decision: a decision to be great, a decision to be the example for others rather than let your life waste away to something that no one will remember.
Will you be the person who has the funeral that the whole world stops for, or the person whose funeral has less than twenty close family members there to see you off?
How are you going to make the story of your life impactful? Let me know in the comments section below or on Twitter and Facebook.
Hello Tim,
I absolutely love your article. I can tell from the way you write, you will be an impactful speaker. I have been in Toastmasters for a few years as well and one of the biggest tools I took with me is to use emotion in your speeches because it is the most impactful thing you can do. I am moved by your story as I had been writing a self help book about overcoming things. I overcame pretty big adversities and my goal with my book is to then become a motivational speaker. I feel like I need the message first; then I can deliver. Sometimes though, I wish there was a school for how to be a motivational speaker. Instead, you have to create your own path. I guess that's the beauty of it. Any pointers on how I can be even more impactful than that? That is so black and white and I want to do as much possible to reach my highest potential. I've got all that it takes, and a powerful story to go along with it. I just need some more direction sometimes or more tips on different ways I can impact the world.
I recently discovered that telling your story, a good story is empowerment. I always told my three sons, when you find your passion you will find success and then, over the years, encouraged each of them to use their talents and develop their passion and success would come. Knowing their back story, their history is an important part of that discovery of achieving a life of meaning and success and, working as a family, we were able to start making positive change and impact. We have just started. We want to be the example of how everyday people can make impact full change.
Your article fills in some of the holes that I feel is necessary to take it to the next level. Thank you.
Hi Tim,
I find this article fascinating as it something i've been thinking about and discussing for many years. You'll see by the holding page on my website that I haven't quite got there. Friends and family tell me that I have an impactful story but I haven't worked out how to translate that into something yet. I'm going to spend sometime going through these points and see if it will help me move it forward.
Also, I would highly recommend Toastmaters i've been a member for about 4-5 years I'm currently President of the Bicester Speakers club in UK. I really enjoy public speaking and am always happy to volunteer to speak in public even if its on the spot. The skills i've learnt at toastmasters has contributed to me getting jobs and progressing in my career.
Thanks for reading Kerry-Anne and for your comments. I am very keen to see how Toastmasters goes for me and congrats on all your success so far. I look forward to seeing the holding page turn into your website 🙂
Thanks for this article. And thank you for having an impact on my life! As I am on this journey it is good to know that others are there to help. Your words about pain becoming success are powerful! Forgive me, your first success principle is powerful! I have recently embraced this idea of failure and it is amazing what impact it is having on my life. My writing is clearer and my goals are more defined. I can not wait for the new year to take the next steps to help others and be impactful in a major way.
Thank you!
Jodie thanks for the feedback. Tip number one is also my favourite because unless we do something outstanding, then not much else can happen in our life that will shape our overall story. I will make sure I check out your writing and thanks for reading!
Tim, Thanks for the follow on twitter! Great post.
The point that really sticks out to me is #4. Not giving in to temptation is very hard to do, but once you can control that temptation you can get a lot of stuff done.
In order to be successful you have to make sacrifices and if that means not hanging out with friends or not catching up on your favorite tv shows then you do what it takes.
Not a problem guys I love what you are doing and regularly read your Twitter posts. I have just sent you a tweet 🙂
Thank you for your work. You write good articles and I enjoy reading them. They're very thought-provoking. However, I don't think that making an impact on the world to achieve fame and glory is what life is or should be all about. I'd rather have no one show up for my funeral than not be true to myself. I think it is written in Christian scripture that "What does it profit a man if he gains the whole world and loses his own soul?" There can be more important things in life than making an impact on others or on the whole world.
Hey Peter, Good point.
Its all about what you feel and what your want to be known for.( not a general thing) If you want to impact people without the fame thats fine. But I also believe you can impact way more people if you have a bigger audience or platform.
At the end of the day impacting anyone to do positive things is great.
Peter thanks for leaving your view and I appreciate where you are coming from. My viewpoint was more about having a positive impact than fame. I agree though that you need to remain true to yourself.
Impactful story of your life, a dream for many and reality for so little. Packing my things now and moving into new place, I cannot help but think how I want and enjoy to travel and love to see different environment as often as possible. Going through isolation at my job has helped me to see and better inderstand my faults and work on them, transform them. I love that point about vulnerability, as in the past I usually wanted to avoid it at any cost and show everyone how strong I can be mentally. But again, was I living my own life or someone else's ?
Oh, and emotions. I am quite curious about them as well. Recently my emotional attitude lead me to big mistake. Fortunately, I took my time to relax and meditate and then 'sleep with it' thus in the morning I realized the solution I knew was the right one, and by taking the immediate action, that puzzle was solved. It was a good lesson your emotions may cost you big deal and that clear mind and confidence is your better ally.
I understand the power of emotional story but I think you should find a balance. Right now I still have some emotions over my head and not sure what to with them. But I'll get there one day.
Once again, thank you so much Tim for you time and attitude for providing great food for our minds. I've rarely comment on somenthing but your articles gives me the drive to communicate and give back some feedback. Also, your response means a lot for me and gives me additional motivation to keep going. I appreciate it!
Have a wonderful day and stay well!
Toño you always share great insights and take the time to be bold and share your story. I would love to connect with you on Facebook to hear more.
Your feedback is very much appreciated!
Toño can I send you a message and chat sometime? The way you just portrayed yourself in this comment above is really well illustrated, quite similar to my own pursuit of success and I was hoping we could share stories sometime and maybe help each other?
Thanks Rhonda 🙂
Having traveled the world, worked in the outdoors, and now am able to work from my laptop from anywhere I choose , I can say that I have an impactful story. Now, I just have to tell it! 😛
Would love to hear your story Fred. Thanks for taking the time to read the article.

Our Pretties
I'm very non-standard girl. It's hard to describe yourself in a few words. I have a different character, and it all depends on my mood. I'm not quick-tempered, I have a calm character. I like to be just the way I am. I do not like people who are simulated. I smile when I'm happy and cry when I'm sad. I'm open and not afraid to make the first step. We have only one chance in life, and I do not want to waste it.
I love music and everything connected with it. Music shows the inner state of my soul. I like to sing and play the guitar. In these moments, every note pierces my body and my soul. I love swimming and diving. I like to dive into the water. It's like I'm in another world. Especially diving into the sea gives an incredible feeling. I'm also fond of drawing and design.
Need partner: 30 - 50 years old
I'm looking for a fun-filled and open man with whom it will be interesting to talk and spend my free time. A man who always be a gentleman with his woman. I do not like lazy men and men who limit themselves by scopes and objectives. I hate liars and narcissistic men. I want caring, loving and cheerful man.

RepairPal is your advocate for car care advice and guidance
Q: Emergency Flashers start blinking when the car is not running. on 1991 Lincoln Mark VII
I just happened to go to my garage to get something and the emergency flashers were on. It was not in the engaged postion for them to flash and no key in the ignition. I think my car is possessed. Do I have an electrical problem somewhere?
| |
you may have wiring or turn signal switch issues in steering column
Is there a test for that? Or do I have to take the column apart to find out? Another responded with possibly security alert. Theft guard is on. BTW thank you for your response.
Does it have any kind of aftermarket security (or factory) that may have been set off?
Factory alarm system. The car is on jacks, a new fuel pump and fuel filter is being put on. Fuel tank is dropped and disconnected. I disconnected the negative battery cable. (After the flashers started flashing)
could be a shorted signal flasher
Thank you, will check it out. And let you know.

Early on in filmmaker Pedro Almodóvar latest, a sour housekeeper scrubs out the crimson tide in her employer's bed sheets after her boss, a handsomely dressed mad scientist, shoots and kills his half brother for sleeping with yet another of his wives.
Yes, it's happened before. Dr. Robert Ledgard (Antonio Banderas), an internationally famous plastic surgeon, patched together his current dream companion in a home science lab, modelling her after the late, not so great, certainly unfaithful Mrs. Ledgard.
Why the allegiance to a woman who done him wrong? Who knows? Doesn't matter. He's a mad scientist, right?
In fact, seeing the illicit lovers coiled in his bed, our GQ Dr. Frankenstein's first impulse is to destroy his creation. But then he realizes that's probably impossible. He's crafted Vera Cruz (Elena Anaya) with indestructible skin obtained by transferring genetic information from a pig.
The bullet would probably trampoline-bounce back, killing Dr. Robert. Or worse yet, tear the fabric of his sleek knit sweater.
Director of the dizzying, magnificent pop confections Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown and All About My Mother, Almodovar is devoted to garish excess – ransacking popular culture to tell spinning-carousel stories of hope, anxiety and betrayal.
Role confusion is a persistent theme; satire/homage and overheated melodrama, the Spanish director's favourite way of doing business. ( All About My Mother is dedicated to actresses Bette Davis and Romy Schneider.)
So we have a character here named after an overwrought 1954 Robert Aldrich western: Vera Cruz. Dr. Robert is from a Beatles song about drugs, which are consumed throughout The Skin I Live In. Our best pop-culture clue to the relationship between Dr. Robert and his creation is a pan across a coffee-table art book by Louise Bourgeois, a French-American sculptress who spent much of her career contemplating the treachery of an overbearing father.
That's all interesting. And one reason why critics love Almodovar is that his films are fun to discuss, what with all the dark, provocative themes and motifs on parade. Nevertheless, it must be said that not all of his throbbing melodramas are a pleasure to actually sit through.
Though beautiful to look at and graced with moments of ticklish camp, The Skin I Live In is also sluggish, arbitrarily conceived and, especially in its sagging middle, unaccountably dull.
Even a Warner Bros. producer in the 1940s, the heyday of Hollywood flashbacks, would never have allowed so much rear-view window-gazing. Going back, separately and often, to Dr. Robert's wife and daughter being destroyed by monsters, leaves us with a film that feels stuck in neutral.
And too much of the story resides in stars Antonio Banderas and Elena Anaya's pretty heads. We watch Dr. Robert prowl about his fabulous mansion in Toledo, Spain, opium pipe in hand. Vera Cruz is locked inside her room, practising yoga and reading, settling into her new skin.
He paces. She settles. They look beautiful. The glass house is fantastic. But not enough happens on screen. And it's not like Dr. Robert is passing us the pipe.
Banderas began his career with Almodovar in 1982 and appeared later in Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown and Tie Me Up! Tie Me Down!
An exciting stallion in those movies, he's merely a cantering clothes horse in The Skin I Live In.
Hard to believe that any filmmaker, let alone Pedro Almodovar, could be so dull documenting the story of a mad scientist who makes silk women out of sows' ears.
Special to The Globe and Mail
The Skin I Live In
- Directed and written by Pedro Almodovar
- Starring Antonio Banderas, Elena Anaya, Marisa Paredes and Jan Cornet
- Classification: 18A

Description: José Martiacute (1853-1895) is the most renowned political and literary figure in the history of Cuba. A poet, essayist, orator, statesman, abolitionist, and the martyred revolutionary leader of Cuba's fight for independence from Spain, Martí lived in exile in New York for most of his adult life, earning his living as a foreign correspondent. Throughout the 1880s and early 1890s, Martí's were the eyes through which much of Latin America saw the United States. His impassioned, kaleidoscopic evocations of that period in U.S. history, the assassination of James Garfield, the opening of the Brooklyn Bridge, the execution of the Chicago anarchists, the lynching of the Italians in New Orleans, and much more, bring it rushing back to life. Organized chronologically, this collection begins with his early writings, including a thundering account of his political imprisonment in Cuba at age sixteen. The middle section focuses on his journalism, which offers an image of the United States in the nineteenth century, its way of life and system of government, that rivals anything written by de Tocqueville, Dickens, Trollope, or any other European commentator. Including generous selections of his poetry and private notebooks, the book concludes with his astonishing, hallucinatory final masterpiece, "War Diaries", never before translated into English.

Marti is a symbol of Cuban independence, for he campaigned throughout his life for its liberation and finally died in the war against Spain. He was also an important literary figure and one of the founders of modernism. Rejecting the elaborate aestheticism of many modernists, he wrote in a simpler style based largely on folk poetry, as in "Ismaelillo" and "Versos Sencillos." Much of his poetry deals with the struggle for freedom and his political and emotional exile from his homeland. He was also an accomplished prose stylist in a much more intricate fashion and influenced the later development of the short story and essay. His writings, now collected, many of which were originally published in newspapers, are essential for an understanding of the Spanish American independence process.

West Mersea sailor Hannah Stodel was still top of the leaderboard in the Sonar class heading into the final day of competition on Friday at the Semaine Olympique Francais regatta in Hyeres.
Together with helm John Robertson and Stephen Thomas, Stodel had extended the advantage at the top of the overall standings to three points after a run of top-five finishes.
The trio are using the latest ISAF Sailing World Cup series event to hone their preparations for the Paralympic Games later this year.
Meanwhile, there was also good news for another West Mersea sailor as Martin Evans moved up the standings in the silver fleet of the Laser class.
A third place in his ninth race placed him sixth in the silver fleet and 42nd overall among some of the world's top Laser sailors.
See the paper on Monday for a full round up of the final action from Hyeres.

Apparently poised to name names in a 2012 carjacking-turned-killing that left a Southeastern Louisiana University student dead in the parking lot of an Algiers strip mall, 18-year-old Jaroid Washington clammed up Tuesday afternoon, refusing to take the witness stand despite the knowledge that it might cost him additional decades behind bars.
Washington pleaded guilty in February to manslaughter and armed robbery for his role in the brutal, close-range killing of Fernando Eyzaguirre, and he had agreed to a 23-year prison sentence in exchange for his expected testimony Tuesday against alleged shooter Milton "Bullet" Wilson and future testimony against other co-defendants in the case.
However, he walked into an Orleans Parish courtroom, clad in orange jail scrubs and shackles, with a different idea after Orleans Parish Criminal District Court Judge Karen Herman had sent the jury home.
Herman repeatedly asked Washington whether he understood the consequences of failing to testify.
"Yes, ma'am," he mumbled from a seat in the jury box.
Those consequences, Herman continued, could be as much as 99 years in prison on his guilty plea to the armed robbery charge and 40 years on the manslaughter count.
Herman said the jury of seven women and five men already had seen video footage of the assault, in which Eyzaguirre, 27, was shot seven times and fell to the pavement in front of a Subway sandwich shop in the 6100 block of Gen. de Gaulle Drive.
"I assure you after viewing this video, it will not be 23 years," she admonished the teenager. "You're basically flushing your sentence away."
Washington had already given sworn statements to police containing many of the details he had promised to tell the jury directly. How much of that evidence now will make it into the trial is uncertain.
Washington's attorney, Ike Spears, credited Washington's cold feet to his concern for his safety if he testified, but Herman said Washington had been trying Tuesday to swing a lower sentence before he testified.
During opening statements Tuesday morning, prosecutors with District Attorney Leon Cannizzaro's office promised the jury that Washington would shed a clear light on the figures, including himself, who are seen in videos of the carjacking and killing, taken from three cameras in the strip mall where Eyzaguirre had gone for a workout in the early morning on Nov. 25, 2012.
Between a job as a restaurant busboy and computer technology courses at SLU, Eyzaguirre squeezed in workouts at Anytime Fitness. The De La Salle High School graduate was shy — "a very sensitive guy," his mother testified — so he chose odd hours to go to the gym.
Milagro Eyzaguirre said she heard her son leave the house around 2 a.m. He drove four blocks from the Tall Timbers home he shared with his parents, sat in his Honda in the strip mall's parking lot and texted his girlfriend.
Wilson, who faces charges of murder, armed robbery and obstruction, strode up, pointed a gun at Eyzaguirre's head and ordered him out, prosecutors allege. Washington had gone around to the other side of the vehicle, prosecutors said, while a third man, Marke "Fresh" Simmons, stood nearby.
Eyzaguirre got out and handed over his keys. According to prosecutors, Wilson and Simmons then held a brief discussion over whether to stuff him in the trunk. Instead, two guns came out and bullets flew.
Eyzaguirre, who played piano and guitar and taught Spanish, went down fast, and the culprits sped off in the Honda.
"Mr. Eyzaguirre (lay) there cold, alone, dying and dead" for four hours, prosecutor Inga Petrovich told the jury.
Another gym customer spotted his body after 6 a.m. and called 911. An emergency medical technician didn't bother to check his pulse. Pooling blood and other telltale signs on his body "were incompatible with life," she testified,
"My son didn't deserve to die like this. It was a senseless, brutal crime with no reason at all," Milagro Eyzaguirre testified, sobbing on the witness stand. "They did not only kill Fernando. They killed all the family, and it's a pain that we have to take with us all of our lives."
Wilson, 19, who has shed the dreadlocks he sported in his booking mug shot, sat quietly in a white dress shirt, dark slacks and bright yellow tie. The jury heard no alibi defense during defense attorney Edward Rantz's opening statement, no denial of Wilson's involvement in a crime that garnered widespread attention for its seemingly random brutality.
NOPD Superintendent Ronal Serpas, after viewing the videos, described it as "heartless."
However, Rantz said Wilson, the first of the five charged defendants to stand trial in the case, was merely a slow, scared "follower" of Simmons, 21.
"He's not the sharpest knife in the drawer," Rantz said of his client. "There were five people that were involved in this case, not just Milton. And the name you're going to hear the most, the name who should be sitting there right now, is Marke Simmons."
Wilson "was scared to death of Marke Simmons. ... Marke Simmons is the one that cold-bloodedly, without a word, walked up to Mr. Eyzaguirre and fired on him. It's about levels of participation. It's about levels of responsibility," Rantz said.
The Honda turned up days later in Waveland, Miss. Simmons' DNA was found on the car's radio and on a hat that read "Deadtime," found in the backseat, prosecutors said.
New Orleans police detective Timothy Bender said Wilson admitted tossing his revolver into a canal. No weapons were recovered, Bender said. That fact, along with some imprecise ballistics tests, created some doubt as to whether Wilson actually fired a gun, Rantz suggested in his cross-examination of the detective.
The jury also saw several photos of Eyzaguirre's corpse lying on the pavement with bullet holes in his back. When he was found, his wallet lay below his feet.
Simmons, indicted last year on a first-degree murder count, is the only one among those accused in the case who, because of his age, could face the death penalty if convicted.
Also charged in the murder and related crimes is Erin Doucet, the alleged getaway driver, who is not seen in the videos. Desmonique Reed, Simmons' girlfriend, is accused of being an accessory to both murder and second-degree robbery. Trial dates for Simmons, Doucet and Reed are pending.
Prosecutors said Washington named the others after a family member who had seen media coverage of the murder alerted police that he may have been involved.
Washington, who lived in Waveland but often visited New Orleans, was due under his plea deal to testify against several, if not all, of the other defendants.
Prosecutors asked Herman to issue a subpoena for Washington to return to court Wednesday to take the witness stand as the trial resumes. The judge remanded Washington to Orleans Parish Prison in the meantime, despite a plea from Spears for different accommodations based on his safety concerns.
"Whether he's genuinely in fear for his life or simply horsetrading is something for another court to decide," Herman responded. "But we're keeping him."

U.K. Tech Sector Needs to Be More Ambitious, Says New TSB Chairman
The U.K. needs to think bigger, be more ambitious and politicians need to support technology more, says the incoming chairman of the Technology Strategy Board said Monday.
Phil Smith, CEO of Cisco for the U.K. and Ireland, takes up his four-year appointment on 1 Dec., replacing Graham Spittle, CTO and vice president of IBM's Software Group Europe.
"We need to set ourselves much more ambitious targets," he said. "Although we do a reasonable job at talking at high level politically… We need more ambition. It is a bit like broadband which I was involved in. When the government were talking about putting 2MB broadband everywhere, if you go for 2MB you might get 1.5MB if you are lucky. If you go for 1,000MB, then you might get to 500MB or something."

Castro Regime: Keeping Families Apart for 54 Years
The main stream press parrot Cuban government statistics on travel to the island, without independent sources for verification, while others talk up apparent reforms. Meanwhile, Cuban families continue to suffer and be divided on account of the communist dictatorship. One example, first reported back on August 14, has ended tragically.
Blanca Reyes had requested on July 22, 2013, permission to return to her homeland to visit her ailing 93-year-old father. However, on August 13, 2013, a Cuban consulate official denied her that opportunity. Two months later on October 13, 2013 Blanca tweeted:
My dad fractured his hip, they are going to operate, and Cuban government denies me entrance to see him. He is 93 years old.
In a later tweet she raised an important question:
Unable to enter your home, Cuba, can someone explain that? I address the people who still support the Cuban Government.
Two days later on October 15, 2013, Blanca tweeted the sad news that the father and daughter would never again to be reunited:
My father died today in Cuba did not see him for 9 years the Cuban government stopped me. UNTIL WHEN MY GOD?
Despite the regime's propaganda offensive and media hype, the right to travel freely remains non-existent in Cuba. In this particular case, they denied a daughter the opportunity to say goodbye to her dad. Unfortunately, Blanca is not alone, given that every year the Cuban dictatorship denies between 70,000 and 300,000 Cubans from returning to their homeland under arbitrary criteria set by two men.
The Castro brothers decide who gets to travel in and out of Cuba, and that goes by what advances their interests. It is all up to the discretion of the dictatorship, which means that Article 13 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, like so many other articles in the declaration, is systematically violated in Cuba today.

New Index Reveals Food Insecurity Prevalence in Latin America
EspañolHunger levels are low in Latin America and the Caribbean, according to the Global Hunger Index 2013 (GHI). However, not all countries in the region receive a good score: Guatemala, Bolivia, and Paraguay have "serious hunger problems," while the population in Haiti have an "alarming" level of hunger. (See the report below.) The research from the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI), together with Concern Worldwide and Welthungerhilfe (based in Germany) NGOs, analyzes hunger in 120 countries. The authors do not to include "industrialized" countries. Of those measured, though, the index classifies them into the following categories: extremely alarming, alarming, serious, moderate, and low. While the underlying data may suffer from doubts about accuracy, the GHI combines three reported national indicators to score each country: the proportion of undernourished people as a percentage of the population, the proportion of children under five who are underweight, and the under-five mortality rate. [embed]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1rZur9kN3RU[/embed] In the world, three countries have an extremely alarming score: Burundi, Comoros, and Eritrea. Sixteen countries are alarming; 37 are serious; 22 are moderate; and 42 are low. Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Costa Rica, Cuba, México, Uruguay, and Venezuela are the Latin American countries with best performance in the index; all have an under-five score or "low" prevalence. (See the key in the diagram.) That compares to Burundi's significantly lower score — the East African country has the worst rating overall — at 38.8. Nicaragua — alongside Ecuador, the Dominican Republic, El Salvador, and Colombia — is in the "moderate" group. However, its rate of malnourishment is still high compared with the rest of the region. That is 20.1 percent, followed in the moderate group by Ecuador, 18.3 percent; the Domican Republic, 15.4 percent, Colombia, 12.6 percent; and El Salvador, 12.3 percent. The report also indicates which countries were more effective at lowering hunger between 1990 and 2013, and which countries worsened. Nicaragua, Perú, Venezuela, México, and Cuba are the Latin American countries that improved the most according to the index. Paraguay and Guatemala, on the other hand, worsened. Paraguay's rate of hunger, in particular, has risen in a stark manner since in 2005, when it ranked as moderate. Bärbel Dickamnn, president of Welthungerhilfe, stated that the main causes for global food challenges were armed conflict, natural disasters, and high food prices. "2.6 billion people have to live on less than two dollars a day. For them a sick family member, a single drought or the job loss of someone working abroad is a major crisis. As a consequence a child can no longer afford to go to school, the family diet is reduced to often one meal a day or livestock needs to be sold. These people have simply no coping mechanisms left to react to a crisis." Although the level of undernourished population has decreased since 1990, there is still work to do before achieving the long-term goal of zero hunger, she added. Nowadays, around 870 million individuals (1 out of 8 in the world) suffer hunger — and almost one third of food is discarded. The Global Hunger Index recommends charitable, organizational work with affected communities to strengthen their abilities to resist natural events and fight against hunger. The report also recommends that political leaders in each country develop a national strategy with the aim of guaranteeing food and nutrition security, particularly during a crisis. Meanwhile, they also suggest that humanitarian workers focus on maternal and child nutrition along developing regions, and that interventions address both the immediate and underlying causes of malnutrition.
