Volkswagen Unveils PHEV Prototype at Launch of German Government PHEV Fleet Project
26 June 2008
|The Golf TwinDrive PHEV.
Volkswagen chairman and CEO Prof. Martin Winterkorn and German Federal Environment Minister (Bundesumweltminister) Sigmar Gabriel introduced a prototype VW plug-in hybrid electric vehicle—the Golf TwinDrive—at the launch of a four-year PHEV fleet and vehicle-to-grid (V2G) demonstration project supported by the German Federal Government.
Eight German alliance partners are participating in the "Fleet test: electric drive vehicles" ("Flottenversuch Elektromobilität"). Volkswagen AG is leading the project, with E.ON (energy provider) and LTC/GAIA and Evonik/Li-Tec (lithium-ion battery providers) as principal partners. Also contributing from the research side are Fraunhofer Gesellschaft, Heidelberg Institute for Energy and Environmental Research (Ifeu), the German Center for Aerospace Technology (DLR), and the Westphalian Wilhelms University at Münster.

The project will demonstrate the use of electricity generated by renewable energy such as wind and solar for powering up to 20 PHEVs in a fleet trial under real-world conditions. The project will also evaluate the use of various vehicle-to-grid (V2G) methods of integrating these vehicles into the electric power grid for stabilization purposes.
At the present time the automobile is unthinkable without a highly efficient diesel or gasoline engine. The future however, and that is certain, will belong to the electric motors fueled by the wall power plug. On this way to the future, our innovative motors (TDI/TSI) combined with electric motors and highly efficient battery systems create advanced propulsion systems.
In the framework of the fleet test, we will be deploying up to twenty vehicles with the newly developed drive concept. Different than today's hybrid vehicles, it should be emphasized that TwinDrive—and this is decisive—enables long ranges in the city in electric mode. While the E-motor on a typical hybrid model just supplements the combustion engine, the exact opposite is true on the TwinDrive: here the diesel or gasoline engine supplements the E-motor.
"In the framework of "Fleet test: electric drive vehicles", Volkswagen will be investing double-digit millions in advanced development of this technology.—Prof. Martin Winterkorn, CEO of Volkswagen AG
On a typical commuting route of 100 km (62 miles), the Golf TwinDrive consumes 8 kWh of electricity and 2.5 liters of fuel. Together, the electric motor and engine provide output of up to 130 kW (174 hp).
Lithium Technology Corporation's (LTC) German subsidiary, GAIA Akkumulatorenwerke GmbH (GAIA), will deliver a total of seven lithium-ion battery packs based on iron phosphate cathode chemistry with energy capacity of about 12kWh for the project.
In 2006, LTC said that it was developing, in conjunction with a then-unnamed automaker (VW), a 12 kWh Li-ion battery system that should support a plug-in hybrid application in a four-passenger vehicle. (Earlier post.)
This fleet test can make a contribution toward unifying mobility and climate protection in an entirely novel way. That is because it is only through close cooperation of partners from the automotive, battery and energy producing industries that we will be able to utilize electrical power obtained from renewable sources in personal transportation with very high efficiency.—Federal Environment Minister Sigmar Gabriel

"Our tax incentives ought to be based not on whether a car is a hybrid, but whether a car is fuel efficient" an elected representative is quoted as saying recently. I respectfully suggest our representatives consider the many ways hybrids prove to be much, much more than merely a fuel efficient car, and deserving of subsidy more than most people realize.
The next generation "plug-in" hybrids are finally receiving some credit, but not nearly enough. Sure, plug-in Pruis hybrids readily increase mileage to 100mpg, but this mileage gain is not their only benefit nor main advantage.
The plug-in hybrid adds an extra battery pack mounted low on the frame which can improve stability and handling, especially important for top-heavy, roll-prone SUVs, and for any car as well. The extra battery pack need not be lightweight lithium-ion. The somewhat heavier (but perfected) NiMh battery technology thus takes advantage of its weight. Hybrids have other safety factors -- regenerative braking and stable accelleration. Compact, lightweight, high fuel economy cars offer no such advantage and do not similarly merit subsidy. These safety factors are worthy of legislative appeal.
Following on the heals of plug-in hybrid technology is "V2G" (vehicle to grid), whereby the batteries are not only recharged, they may act as a household back-up power supply, invaluable in an emergency or grid failure. The batteries can store electricity during periods when main utility generators produce a surplus, and they're a perfect technological match with rooftop solar photovoltiac panels.
Believe it or not, these AMAZING advantages and benefits of plug-in hybrids are not at the top of the longer list. Development of the plug-in hybrid is indeed an Apollo Project.
Strange how they equate hybrid with what the Japanese have produced and now that they are being driven in the same direction, they now have to rebrand their idea as a twindrive after downplaying hybrid for diesels for years.
Everyone tries to market their idea as some unique thing when it's not. This is a series hybrid. The idea is no different than the Volt, which tries to brand itself as something different as well. They are all basically electric cars with some type of conventional range extender with the power primaily (hopefully) coming from the grid.
That being said, I hope them well in their endevours and hope that it makes it to the market soon along with all the other PHEV's they are trying to create.
[quote]On a typical commuting route of 100 km (62 miles), the Golf TwinDrive consumes 8 kWh of electricity and 2.5 liters of fuel. Together, the electric motor and engine provide output of up to 130 kW (174 hp)[/quote]
BOUT ****ing time that they offered numbers like these rather than (this golf got 170 mpg!)
hm although i expected better numbers...
Wells, are you serious. Do you seriously think that plug in hybrids are deserving of a subsidy because their heavy and low-mounted batteries lower the cars' center of gravity? This can be done in a number of ways and most regular cars don't need their center of gravity lowered any more. As for lowering the center of gravity of an SUV, here's an idea: buy a station wagon. And using the car as a generator for one's home in a blackout? There's nothing stopping anybody from installing a generator in their home.
I'd like to know the size of the trunk on this car. Hybrids and particularly plug-in hybrids have small trunks thanks to large battery packs. I don't know what the point of a long distance car is if has a very small trunk. Hence, the continued desirability of diesel. I actually wonder if two cars, electric for commuting and diesel for long distance/larger loads, the latter perhaps being a rental when needed, wouldn't be a better alternative.
"This is a series hybrid."
Where does the text say it is a series hybrid?
"Together, the electric motor and engine provide output of..." - This sounds more like combined (power-split) hybrid to me.
Well, you'd need very low temperatures (20K?). Therefore you need cooling.
AFAIK, when the storage is too small you need more energy for cooling than you can store in the system. e.g.: IIRC, you need round about 10% of the stored energy of a 1MWh SMES for cooling.
The capacity of a SMES for a car would be a lot smaller. So, I don't think it's a viable option.
"What is VW playing at?" ... thinking very much restricted to the current paradigm, that's what. They were so obsessed by squeezing the last drop out of diesel (and there is still room there) that they didn't look beyond the world of ICE. Now they will pay the price by being late to the EV party. The one bright spot is that they look to be the first major OEM to seriously implement V2G which could put them back in the game if they can implement this ahead of other major car companies.
I don't know anywhere where the typical commuting route is 100km. I find this bizarre coming from Germany which is a relatively compact country. There will always be a few maniacs that do massive commutes but studies keep showing that the most people will put up with for any length of time is one hour per day.
That's a tangent. As to the main point. Fair enough to be sceptical but at least VW has the runs on the board when it come to energy efficient vehicles. We might actually see a market product in a few years.
Peter, I am serious, but I won't argue the matter with you. Since you've made an arrogant dismissal of my viewpoint, so too must I dismiss yours. Which car gets better mileage: a Chevy Suburban or a Honda Insight? It's the Chevy Suburban, a roll-prone SUV that could improve stability by reducing its center-of-gravity. It takes 5 Honda Insights to transport the same number of people as 1 Suburban. You like diesel? Then pair it to a hybrid drivetrain and further improve mileage and reduce emissions. Ford and GM produced hybrid 4-door sedan prototypes in the mid-90's. Both used turbo-charged diesel engines and achieved 70 and 80mpg respectively. BURNNN!!!
I am glad that VW will take 4 years to get a hybrid to market. VW is excellent at mechanical engineering, but their electrical track record is poor. They can't even put out a car with a reliable electric system (locks, windows, radios), so I'd guess that a full-blown hybrid implementation would have lots of problems.
Let the Japanese and Americans do it first so that the public has confidence in hybrids and full-on EVs. After that, VW producing a car with too many electric drive service issues won't damage the market for electrified vehicles.
Justin VP, how can you be so cruel (even if it is true). This all goes back to the days when Lucas Industries provided most auto electrical parts, particularly the early headlights called "King of the Road". And so Joseph Lucas became known as the Prince of Darkness.
Wells, for your own sake, don't touch a keyboard until the effects wear off. Whatever you do, don't add any ballast to your SUV to equal the batteries and motors of a hybrid.
Actually non-hybrids should get a 10% handicap to qualify for the HOV lane. They have less weight and material consumption. With all that extra weight; it's a wonder hybrids do better than a TDI. And no wonder they cost more than they can ever save (Ohooo heresy).
Wells, I have no problem with diesel-hybrids. I think they would be great.
So, the Suburban can hold more people and stuff than an Insight. I think everyone here already knew that. Unfortunately many people who own a Suburban use it for commuting with no passengers. I was visiting a friend near Charlotte a few months ago. Her neighbor had two Suburbans. The mother is a stay at home Mom and hauls all the kids around. There are only two kids, so right there, even her Suburban is far larger than necessary. The guy commutes to work alone is his Suburban. Why can't he drive an Insight or take the train? BTW, most Suburbans only seat 8 people, that's 4 Insights, not 5. And a Sprinter holds 10 people and is way more fuel efficient than a Suburban. In Europe, there are alternatives that seat 7-9 people and are even more efficient than a Sprinter, such as a Renault Espace 2.0D or Renault Trafic 2.0D.
I'm sorry you think my dismissal of your viewpoint was "arrogant", but we have safety standards for cars and trucks. If you don't think they are strict enough, advocate for stricter ones. Just like I don't think we should subsidize plug in hybrids over other similarly fuel efficient vehicles, I don't think we should subsidize plug in hybrids over other vehicles with similarly low centers of gravity. So, rather than an arrogant dismissal, I have considered your viewpoint and fail to see the logic.
The logic of a subsidy, Peter, is the public benefit. If accidents can be prevented and lives saved, the person who invests in the more expensive plug-in hybrid technology merits a tax break for the eventual, even if only statistical or hypothetical, benefit. Plus, there are a host of technological advancements that go along with the safety benefit. Capitalism and the free market are progress killers. Wall Street advisors concur: saving civilization and the planet from destruction is too expensive.
Which car gets better mileage: a Chevy Suburban or a Honda Insight? It's the Chevy Suburban, a roll-prone SUV that could improve stability by reducing its center-of-gravity. It takes 5 Honda Insights to transport the same number of people as 1 Suburban.
Wells, you are living in a fairy land where people love each other and all drive cars that are sized to their needs.
The comment on the Suburban is all the more clear when the talk turns to "mass transit". Conventioanal wisdom is that its efficent. But it is nothing og the sort. Bus fleets a average from 1.5 to 1.9 mpg. How many passengers does a bus have to carry just to break even? And that icludes the portion of the bus route when a few or no passengers reamain, except the driver. The Surbaban goes no whwere if there is not a single paying passenger who want to gio somewher. It does circle around and burn fuel, but the bus does that frequently. We all see buses wearily going about their assigned route with driver and nary a soul aboard.
It is easy to show that a bus must contain at least 17 passengers on every inch of its route, just to break even, on the fuel costs and including the capital cost differnces for a bus versus a car.
How many buses, except express commuters to and fro park & rides lots, do that? None. So riding mass transit is fuelish.
Add the drivers salary in too, and it is easy to see why private companies gave up, long ago.
If plug-In vehicles get their electricity from the grid and the grid is 30% efficient in delivering energy from the coal mine to the socket, and coal-electric is the largest single source of CO2 production in the world, then how can electric vehicles be considered "sustainable"?
This discussion has to shift its focus to energy production/delivery/comsumption as a combined issue. Electric vehicles will succeed (and our control of global warming) when PV and Wind electric also become successful in the market and are integrated into the grid

Two area football teams that battled each other in a scrimmage Friday night, have been busy this week battling the spread of skin infections in their players.
Thursday Tri-Valley was notified one of their football players contracted MRSA. And since last week 20 Zanesville players have come down with impetigo.
"It can start looking just like anything. It kind of takes advantage of an open wound and it'll kind of get a red, sore crust with pus, it starts to ooze," says Doug Smith, Zanesville Athletic Trainer.
Six Zanesville players had to sit out the scrimmage due to the infection and the team has limited skin-to-skin contact in practices.
Both teams have sanitized their locker rooms multiple times, but school officials say preventing the spread of infection begins at home.
"The number one thing is wash your clothes, wash practice uniforms. I mean those should be washed at a minimum without any instances or outbreaks once a week, but I mean now that we've had one you want to wash them every couple days and just showering after practice or right when you get home," says Adam Rose, Tri-Valley Athletic Director.
Rose and Smith say they believe the infections are under control in the teams and that the necessary measures have been taken to prevent any players from contracting the bacterias in the future.

Xion lowers her head
and keeps the world on her shoulders
The lights can not be seen
and her feet wander
At night she relives it all,
there is no escape from the world
The easier days of sunsets
and when smiles painted the faces
of those two she loves
She knows her part in it all
Accepting the fate the world
has seemed to lay out for her
Letting go of everything
Never seeing the beloved again
Being a forgotten memory
Xion lowers her head
and lets the world fall off her shoulders
Fate-Xion by eoteflickrWatch

Remember those happy times
Keep them alive

So awesome...
So sad, but absolutely heartwarming.
aahh xioon....

Aww! That's sad and cute!
This is beautiful. I love Xion, this is perfect for her.

Rugby legend and sport broadcasting pioneer dies at 83
RUGBY lost one of its most recognisable voices yesterday after legendary broadcaster Cliff Morgan died aged 83.
The much-respected commentator, who grew up in a mining village in the Rhondda Valley, was known for his easy-going charm and eloquence.
Before becoming a distinguished broadcaster, Morgan had also enjoyed an illustrious playing career.
The Wales rugby international – who was just 5ft 7in – became a giant of the game playing at fly-half.
He represented his country 29 times, captained the British and Irish Lions and was inducted into the International Rugby Board's Hall of Fame four years ago.
He was honoured with an OBE and a CVO.
Tributes flooded in from throughout the world of sport. He was described as a rugby "superstar" and sports broadcasting pioneer.
Morgan died after a long illness. Tragically, he suffered cancer of the vocal cords which resulted in his larynx being removed and limited his ability to speak.
Morgan, whose father was a coal miner, joined Cardiff rugby club aged 19 after leaving Tonyrefail Grammar School and was capped for Wales within a year.
The star told how he was kicked out of university after missing an exam because he was playing a match.
He was a pivotal member of the Grand Slam-winning team of 1952 and the following year Morgan inspired first Cardiff, and then Wales, to victory against the mighty New Zealand All Blacks.
He was dubbed "Morgan the magnificent" by fans during the Lions' drawn Test series in South Africa in 1955.
Three years later Morgan retired from the game aged 28 and began his broadcasting career with the BBC in Wales.
He went on to become editor of the BBC's flagship sports programme Grandstand and head of outside broadcasts – in charge of football World Cups, Olympics and many national occasions.
In the mid 1960s, Morgan quit the BBC and spent two years editing ITV's current affairs programme This Week.
He was a fantastic broadcaster, so eloquent and knowledgeable
Aged just 42 he suffered a stroke which left him unable to speak and paralysed down one side but he made a remarkable recovery. A year later, in 1973, he made his most memorable commentary in the legendary Barbarians versus New Zealand match at Cardiff Arms Park.
After Gareth Edwards scored what many say was the greatest try in rugby history, Morgan said: "If the greatest writer of the written word would have written that story, you'd never have believed it."
Edwards led yesterday's tributes, saying: "He was a fantastic broadcaster, so eloquent and knowledgeable. It was a privilege to have known him."
Former Grandstand host Des Lynam said: "Cliff was one of the most charismatic men I ever met. I knew him as a brilliant rugby player for Wales and the British Lions only through those grainy images from the 50s, but later he was my boss at BBC Radio, became my mentor and we formed a friendship lasting 40 years."
Welsh Rugby Union president Dennis Gethin said: "I have lost a friend and we have all lost one of rugby's greats and a true gentleman."
Morgan, one of the original team captains on A Question Of Sport alongside Henry Cooper, retired from BBC TV 26 years ago but worked as a Radio 4 presenter until 1998.
He was married to Nuala Martin for 45 years until her death in 1999.
Morgan leaves behind second wife Pat and two children, Nicholas and Catherine.

Welcome to my Website
I wrote and published a series of romance novels consisting of two books-'Love and Mystery:Love Through Art' and 'Love and Mystery:Destiny and Fame.'
What gave me the inspiration to write my 'Love and Mystery' series of romance novels is a mystery in itself. I happened to be on a beach of a lake in northern Michigan during July, 2010. It was a wonderful, warm and sunny day. I was very relaxed and enjoyed the weather. I had a daydream of two artists who fell in love with each other. I began to see paintings and heard beautiful music. The entire story ran before my eyes. When I returned home, I began writing like I was in a trance. I wrote the book with all my heart and soul. I put a lot of my thoughts, feelings and emotions in this book, because I wanted to share my knowledge, experience and philosophical way of thinking with the world.
I read many famous authors, traveled, was exposed to many different cultures, learned languages, enjoyed art, museums and different types of music. The paintings that I saw in museums touched me deeply. I felt the energy and ideas that the artists tried to deliver to the public. I'm quite communicative, and talked with different artists about what motivated them to create, and what ideas, feelings and emotions they were trying to express. I was interested in how they arrived at their creative moments. During my life I liked to learn and understand the diverse personalities and relationships between people. All my experiences with reading, art and music culminated in my writing inspiration.
I'd like to express my thanks to everyone who helped make my dream of publishing my 'Love and Mystery' seies come true. Particularly, my husband who edited this series and my son Vladislav for his ideas and thoughts. My sister Valeria and sister-in-law Mary Johnson for their support and all my family and friends in Eastern Europe and America. Also, I'd like to thank ASA Publishing Company who published my book and gave me exposure by giving me a TV interview which can be seen on www.asapubnews.com, as well as on YouTube at asapubnews2011. It was posted in May, 2011.
Nobody knows what love is or how it comes. Who knows if two halves are the right pair to make a whole. Perhaps fate plays a role in determining whether the two halves remain as one or, separate and go in different directions. Is it destiny or circumstance? People will always search for this answer, and occasionally certain people may find it. This is what happened to Nicole and Mike, the central characters of this series. If you want to find this answer, then read this series. It could help you.

Day 4 - Chennai
Chennai Travel Blog› entry 4 of 7 › view all entries
Today I was on a mission: to find an elementary school.
I looked up a few different schools in the surrounding area and wrote down the name and address of the closest one. I showed it to a rickshaw driver and he said his price so I hopped in assuming he knew where it was. After him stopping a few times on the rode to ask people I got the impression that he didnt. So we drove around like a chicken with our head cut off ofr about an hour, good thing was he never asked for a higher price. He wanted to know if he should wait but I told him to go not really knowing what I was walking into.
When walking into the Sishya Primary School a few women came out that I could tell were teachers and I explained to them that I was a teacher from America and that I wanted to know if I could see their school.
The principal was also the 5th grade teacher and her name was Padma, or "Madam" to the students. I was led into her classroom, which was the only one with a door and it was packed with students. There were 31 students in a very small class, they all sat on benches with three at a table. It was a very standard classroom, the chalkboard up front and the desks. Padma was very nice and she introduced me to her class, letting me tell them where I was from and a little bit about me. The students were just so excited that I was there they could barely control themselves. Some were trying to impress me by being the perfect student and others could barely contain themselves just jumping up and blurting out things. Their English was fair, they were really excited to show me what English they DID know though.
Lunch was really fun, Padma invited me to stay and eat with her and a few teachers.
After lunch I felt that I better get going so they can get back to learning but wanted to stop up in the classrooms again to snap a few photos.
When leaving the school I needed to catch a rickshaw so I walked down the street and the first one that I stopped turned me down. Then the second and third turned me down. I learned that I was in a different town and drivers didnt really leave their town. I was starting to worry but after a few more drivers I found one and got back to the hotel a little before Erin.
Erin was a little exhausted from shopping at Spencer's Plaza the other day, the mall where people just mawl you trying to get you to buy their stuff, so we decided to go to a nice mall where they dont do that. Suprisingly, Erin rode in a rickshaw with a fight, I'm just so proud of her! We shopped for an hour or so, bought Erin some clothes decided to have dinner and end the night. Today was a good day, hope there's more like this to come!

We all know markets can overreact, sometimes pricing a stock too highly and at other times too cheaply. And we've also heard the old adage 'buy in gloom, sell in boom'. These are clichés because they usually contain a grain of truth.
Which brings us to Computershare. After hitting the heady heights of $9.88 during the dot.com boom, the press and many analysts have now changed their tune. We've seen one report that showed the stock was trading below the analysts' valuation, yet they refused to make a positive recommendation.

Acer aspire 9410 with Black screen of death
Hello all:
I have an Acer Aspire 9410-4441 with 2gb pc2 6400s sodimm ram, 160gb Hard drive, windows 7 home prem.
this all started when I tried to upgrade Ram with a 1GB PC2 6400 Sodimm in slot 2. I have been running windows 7 on 2 gb for a year with no issues. When trying to boot the power light turns on, and a light on the left of the keyboard that looks like a square above the Numlock and capslock lights comes on, The DVD drive cycles and looks for a disk to boot the everything halts. no screen just black.
I removed the 1GB stick from slot 2 and traid again to same problem.
I hooked up an external monitor to make sure the LCD, Inverter or cable didn't coincidentally crap out.
I moved the 2Gb to slot 2 Same results
I removed all ram, Hard drive, wireless card same result not even a no ram warning beep.
I believe my bios crapped out while trying to update to the extra 1 gb ram stick.
Is there a way to flash the bios without it being able to boot?
any help is appriciated.

Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit
You can try removing the cmos battery and that should reset it for you.

looks like a full diassembly it is then, the cmos batt is not accessable through any of the trap doors or by removing the keyboard. will try that tomarrow and will post back if I have any luck
I had to do a complete disassembly on this machine. one would think Acer would be a little more thoughtful with the batt. access. After slicing a finger on a spring tab under the keyboard and having to fully pull the motherboard out of the case I was able to finally pull the cmos batt connector. I am leaving it overnight to see what happens. This is my grandsons pc and I would like to fix it before getting him a new one in a few months. I have heard that the bios update to v1.24 will allow for up to 4gb memory. I have win7 64bit on it now so even if I get it going I might try to do the flash to v1.24.

Success! Thank you BassFisher for reminding me about the cmos. I was being lazy and not wanting to dissassemble the entire unit.

Tip of the Iceberg
Core Value: Maintain Face
Face can be lost by:
- openly criticizing, insulting, or putting someone on the spot;
- doing something that brings shame to the group;
- challenging someone in authority, especially if this is done in public;
- showing anger at another person; refusing a request; not keeping a promise;
- or disagreeing with someone publicly.
Conversely, face can be saved by:
+ remaining calm and courteous;
+ discussing errors or transgressions in private;
+ speaking about problems without blaming anyone;
+ using non-verbal communication to say "no";
+ and allowing the other person to get out of the situation with their pride intact.

After The Inbetweeners Movie grossed £45m in the UK back in 2011, it was a foregone conclusion that there would be a healthy audience appetite for a sequel. But comedy can be a fast-moving target, and three years represented ample time for fan excitement to ebb. Would the market respond again with equivalent interest?
So far, the answer is in the affirmative, with a £12.54m opening for The Inbetweeners 2, including previews of £4.49m. That's a slim 5% down on the £13.22m debut of The Inbetweeners Movie, including previews of £4.57m. It's worth remembering that, at the time, the box-office result for the first Inbetweeners film was considered sensationally ahead of any reasonable expectation. It was also the biggest debut for a live-action comedy, a distinction it retains to this day.
The opening number for The Inbetweeners 2 is the biggest of 2014 so far, regardless of whether you are comparing Friday-to-Sunday figures or previews-inclusive totals. X-Men: Days of Future Past was previously the top debuting title this year, with £7.55m (plus £1.59m in previews), which compares with £8.05m (plus previews) for The Inbetweeners 2. Thanks to a hefty six days of previews, grossing £8.04m, Transformers: Age of Extinction managed a nine-day "opening" of £11.75m, which compares with The Inbetweeners 2's five-day debut of £12.54m.
Excluding previews from consideration, The Inbetweeners 2 has posted the best opening since The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug landed last December with £9.35m. Including previews, it's the best since Despicable Me 2 arrived in June 2013 with £14.82m.
Sequels usually play more front-loaded than the first entry in a franchise, since they inherit the fans of the earlier film, who typically rush to see the next instalment. Box office for The Inbetweeners Movie fell only 34% in its second frame. You'd expect to see a bigger drop this time around, although an IMDb user rating of 7.5/10 suggests The Inbetweeners 2 is enjoying positive word among cinemagoers, and largely positive reviews (74% fresh at Rotten Tomatoes) may help woo broader comedy fans beyond the core fanbase.
While 2014 so far has been relatively light on big action-blockbuster hits – nothing at the level of Skyfall, The Dark Knight Rises or The Avengers – and lacks a family film to match Despicable Me 2, adult-skewing comedies have helped fill the gap. Bad Neighbours, 22 Jump Street and Mrs Brown's Boys D'Movie, all 15-certificate titles, have so far reached £16.0m, £18.6m and £14.5m respectively, and The Inbetweeners 2 is clearly going to steam past them all. In 2013, only one 15-rated comedy made it past £10m in the UK: The Hangover: Part III, with £19.3m.

The Graphic Syllabus and the Outcomes Map
An instructor's topical organization is the basic framework of his or her course as well as the core of the syllabus. A syllabus reflects the instructor's own unique organization of the field or specialty being taught, and his or her student learning objectives and outcomes provide the structure for student learning experiences and assessment activities. Yet students rarely read a text syllabus carefully. Even when they do, they lack the scholarly background to grasp the big picture of the course organization from the week-by-week topical listing and to understand the cumulative process by which they should acquire target knowledge and skills.
This book shows college instructors how to communicate their course organization to students in a graphic syllabus—a one-page diagram, flowchart, or concept map of the topical organization—and an outcomes map—a one-page flowchart of the sequence of student learning objectives and outcomes from the foundational through the mediating to the ultimate. It also documents the positive impact that graphics have on student learning and cautions readers about common errors in designing graphic syllabi.
In addition to more than two dozen graphic syllabi from a variety of disciplines, this book provides information on:

Are Out-of-State Drivers Flooding New Mexico?
A little over a year has passed since Arizona passed its controversial law authorizing local police to crack down on illegal immigration, a move that sparked copycat legislation and litigation across the country.
In New Mexico, a battle is shaping up over a different type of immigration enforcement measure.
The state currently grants driver's licenses to people regardless of their immigration status, but Republican Governor Susana Martinez wants to more closely regulate licenses.
The governor is in the process of ordering 10,000 license holders to appear in Albuquerque to document that they are New Mexico residents, according to this article in the Silver City (Az.) Sun-News.
By law, illegal immigrants can obtain New Mexico licenses, provided that they live in state. But the governor . . .

After a 12 hour ride and arriving in the middle of the night, the front desk attendant greeted me with a morning sunshine smile. Couple that with the fact that I had car problems earlier that day that prompted me to call the hotel earlier notifying them I may not be able to make it, it was extra appreciative to me that the manager still held a room for my family that night. She had called me earlier in the day to follow up with my reservation and I advised her the car was undergoing some major work and I was not sure I would make it.
Long story short, the staff there had sold my room but provided an upgrade for my family so that I was able to get a good night sleep before traveling the next leg of our trip.
I will be making this a regular stay for us when traveling through that town again. The reason is the great service by several members of the staff there both during the night and the morning after.

It's a cruel twist of fate that the most vibrant, creative, fiery souls are often the most at war with themselves.
Really? You're "blessed?" Meaning God-- who created the Heavens and the earth-- he chose you, to have a Michael Kors bag?
Bruce Jenner talking about considering suicide but deciding, "I want to see how this story ends" is one of the realest things I've heard.
So many girls are carrying bags that say "MK" in honor of today.
Look what you did to the English language. Now someone can say, "I'm literally dying," and everyone thinks they're having an amazing time.

A GROOM made a 400-mile motorway dash to save his Caribbean wedding.
Brian Roberts was forced to set off on a last-ditch trip to South Wales from his home in Kirkby after the passports for himself and his fiance failed to turn up.
He had to collect the passports in person from the processing office in Newport, Gwent, after being told it would be impossible to get them to him in time for his flight to Antigua.
Eventually Brian and bride to be Kathy they made it for their flight from Manchester airport with just minutes to spare.
Mr Roberts, 29, said: "No-one should have to go through what we have in the last few days."
He had sent off for the passports a month ago, covering Kathy and children Rebecca, 10, Scott, nine, and Lauren, 15 months after being told they normally took up to a month to process.
Kathy said: "Brian surprised me with this trip in January and before we knew it, it was July.
"We should have applied sooner but there still should have been plenty of time. "I've just been in floods of tears because we thought we would lose the wedding."
As time ticked away, the couple became more and more frantic.
On Monday, just two days before their flight, Brian phoned Newport and offered to go down to pick up the passports himself.
Brian said: "When we got to Newport they could not have been more helpful. They didn't know anything about our case, but they sorted us out."
A spokeswoman for the Home Office said normal procedures had been followed and there had been a mistake on the application which had held the processing up.

Our approach
UK Aid Match 2: maternal health
Our joint programme in Kenya and Malawi focuses on saving lives in childbirth by strengthening demand for and access to health services, using powerful stories from pastoralist communities in rural communities of both countries.
Appeal funds are used to improve maternal and new-born health for vulnerable women and babies by increasing demand for, access to, and uptake of health services in Kenya and Malawi.
UK Aid Match 4: Integrated Community Case Management (ICCM)
ICCM is about testing the feasibility of removing very simple diagnosis and treatment from the health centre setting, to the community setting. This would result in faster treatment for simple issues, faster referral of complicated issues and more capacity at the health centre to deal with complicated issues.
ICCM addresses both the supply and demand side of the problem identified.
- On the supply side, the project brings services closer to communities. This will be achieved through building the capacity and changing the role of local front line health staff, addressing existing gaps in commodity and logistics management and improving the supply of essential medicines as outlined in the national implementation guideline/protocol.
- On the demand side, there will be increased health promotion, education and awareness messaging to increase acceptance and uptake of child health services from service providers - the low level health facilities and community resource persons (CORPS).
Through the Community Development Committees, community members will play oversight roles over the CORPs and demand improved health service provision in communities/wards. The improved service, as achieved through the supply side, will lead to improved client satisfaction which will also result in increased demand.


text: I got a call for a retaining wall in a lake community yesterday. Went and looked at it today. Worse than i could imagained! In this lake, the houses are extremely tight and there are alot of hills! Well this guy has a driveway that is about 25 wide and 20 deep. It happens to be held up by a rotted 6 ft tall rail road tie wall. Things are so tight that i will have to excvate out between 50-60 yards of material and have it hauled right out of there since there will be no where to store it on site. Than as i build the wall i wil have to have soil trucked back in 10 yard intervals proably. Then i have to figure out how to get 500 block down to the wall base. It looks like i can make it down the steep slope on the right side of the driveway with a tracked dingo or mt but i will not be able to bring many down at a time. Hell, it is even a engineering nightmare. You have the surcharge from the driveway to deal with, then a guard rail and some kind of drain to address. Yes this wall will be engineered! Its going to be a tough job, but the customer will pay for the BS and all the extra deliverys i am going to need. I pretty much have all the logistics figured out. As long as i only need to do 8 ft grid it shouldn't be to bad. Any more and i won't have any driveway space to stack material! Anyone have any good stories about tight space jobs?

Morell, Abelardo (Photographer); Siegel, Elizabeth; Abbott, Brett & Martineau, Paul (Contributors). ABELARDO MORELL: THE UNIVERSE NEXT DOOR. Chicago, IL: Art Institute Of Chicago/Yale University Press, 2013. Hardcover. First Edition/First Printing. 175 pages. As New/As New.
Exhibition Monograph. One of the most beautiful art photography books of our time. The First Hardcover Edition. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions. Published in a small and limited first print run as a hardcover original only. The First Edition is now scarce. A brilliant production by Abelardo Morell and the Art Institute of Chicago: Oversize-volume format. Khaki cloth boards with black titles embossed on spine, as issued. Photographs by Abelardo Morell. Curated and edited with an Essay by Elizabeth Siegel. Conversation/Interview by Paul Martineau. Chronology by Brett Abbott. Printed on pristine-white, thick coated stock paper in Italy to the highest standards. The reproduction quality is stunning in its clarity, tonal range, and warmth. In pictorial DJ with titles on the cover and spine, as issued. Published on the occasion of the major retrospective exhibition of the same name held at the Art Institute of Chicago in 2013. The show travelled on to other major venues such as the Getty Museum Los Angeles. Presents Abelardo Morell's "The Universe Next Door". The first in-depth treatment of the artist's work: Indelible images of vitality and morbidity, photography's closely intertwined subjects. "Over the past twenty-five years, Abelardo Morell has earned international praise for his images that use the language of photography to explore visual surprise and wonder. Born in Havana, Morell came to the United States as a teenager in 1962 and later studied photography, earning an MFA from Yale University. He gained attention for intimate black-and-white pictures of domestic objects from a child's point-of-view, inspired by the birth of his son in 1986; images in which he turns a room into a giant camera obscura, projecting exterior views onto interior spaces; and photographs of books that revel in their sensory materiality. He has turned to color, exploring the camera obscura with a painterly delight and innovating a tent camera that projects outdoor scenes onto a textured ground. Morell has approached photography with remarkable wit and creativity, examining everyday objects with childlike curiosity. Examines Morell's career, including his earlier works in black-and-white and never-before-published photographs" (Publisher's blurb). An absolute "must-have" title for Abelardo Morell collectors. This copy is very prominently and beautifully signed and inscribed in black ink-pen on the title page by the artist/photographer: "With all my best, Abelardo Morell". It is signed directly on the page itself, not on a tipped-in page. The recipient is named, who is a Chicago-based photography expert and important artist-painter. This title is a contemporary art photography classic. As far as we know, this is the only such signed and inscribed copy of the First Hardcover Edition/First Printing available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright, a pristine beauty. A rare signed copy thus. 40 color, 100 duotone plates. One of the finest artist/photographers of our time. A fine collectible copy. . ISBN 0300184557. $150.00

November 19, 2007
A new survey of American members of the United Nation's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) suggests that there is not firm scientific consensus on global warming, as proponents of swift action to curb carbon emissions have suggested.
Of 54 scientists who completed a survey by DemandDebate.com, a website that advocates more debate on the topic:
- Less than half said a 1-degree Celsius increase is "flatly undesirable;" and 61 percent of the respondents said there is no such thing as an "ideal climate."
- While as many as 90 percent of respondents said man-made carbon emissions "are driving or helping to drive global climate change," only 20 percent said human activity is the "principle driver of climate change."
- Some 63 percent said human activity is a driver but that "natural variability is also important."
Former Vice President Al Gore and other leading proponents of strong government action to reduce carbon emissions -- who cite catastrophic predictions of the effects of climate change -- have repeatedly said that "the debate is settled" and that there is "scientific consensus" on the causes and potential effects of warming.
But Steve Milloy, writer of the blog "Junk Science" and executive director of DemandDebate.com, says this survey casts doubt on that claim. There's reason to ask these people more questions, says Milloy. Al Gore is rushing to close the debate because the more data we get, the flimsier the science gets.

Areas of Bolivia and Peru have been seeing heavy rainfall for the last two weeks. Two people died after flooding in Santa Cruz, Bolivia during the first week of January 2015.
Over the last 2 days rainfall in the department of La Paz has triggered landslides which have damaged or destroyed around 800 houses. The landslides affected Guanay and Tipuani in Larecaja province, and Luribay in José Ramón Loayza province.
Furthermore the heavy rain has increased river levels in the area, forcing people to evacuate thier homes in Guanay.
Peru's Civil Defence (INDECI) has reported landslides in the departments of Huanuco and Lima between 06 and 09 January 2015, after 2 weeks of heavy rain.
In Huanuco, two people died and three are missing as a result of a landslide in the district of Mariano Dámaso Beraún. In Lima, the districts of San Vicente de Cañete and Lunahuaná were affected. INDECI say at least 15 houses were destroyed as a result of landslides.
Peru suffered from similar flooding and landslides during the early part of 2014.

Does Paris have anything like the omnipresent DOLLAR stores in the U.S.??
You know - "Nothing in this store is priced over 1 Euro" - or some such thing.
If so, what are they called, and where are they? Thanks. Ron

Dollar Stores Paris?
This is probably a silly question but...
Report Abuse
You should check out the Tati stores in Paris for cheap items. They're not exactly dollar stores but have very low prices.
Report Abuse
The thought of dollar stores springing up all over Paris is appalling.
Report Abuse
When I was in Paris last month, we came across a store that was kind of like a dollar store in its odd assortment of inexpensive items (everything from soap to crayons to CD's and tacky home decorations -- you get the picture). There was not the set "all things are a dollar" price, but everything was quite cheap.
I'm not certain of its exact address, but I am sure that it was on the east side of Rue de Rivoli near Les Halles. It was a long, narrow shop with many wares displayed on the sidewalk.
Report Abuse
Ron: Look for the Monoplex stores. I think that's how it is spelled. Not a dollar store but prices are reasonable.
Report Abuse
Rita is right about the reasonable prices, but the stores are called Monoprix. Don't know of any "Euro"-type stores in Paris. Whether or not they'd appeal to enough Parisians to be successful, I don't know.
Report Abuse
Yes Monoprix is the discount store of choice in france, It is comparable in prices & quality to Shopko, in other words don't buy the cloths if you want them to last more than a month.
One word of warning, the lines (expecially for the grocery sections) are VERY LONG, go at odd hours and avoid morning (pre-work), noon hour (11-3) and evening (after work) times.
Report Abuse
I don't know what Shopko is, but Monoprix (or Inno or Prisunic) are discount general stores, sort of like Target, Walmart, Kmart, etc. They are not anything like those dollar stores in the US that I've only seen in the worst urban areas and just sell absolute junk (they aren't omnipresent in the US around where I live, either, on the East Coast, because I've only seen a few of them in urban immigrant/very low income areas). Everything they sell is pretty much made in poor foreign countries anyway, so why go to Paris to buy that kind of junk when it's not made in the local country, anyway?
Monoprix is a million times better quality than those dollar junk stores. I've bought some tops or sweaters there that are acceptable quality, cotton knit or even merino wool, just as good as you'll get in many US mid-level dept. stores. Tati is worse quality than Monoprix from what I've seen, but I don't think they have a wide variety of things, mainly clothes. But, if you want cheap junk, just buy it at home, because it isn't American when sold here and won't be French there. It sounds like Lorna found the best facsimile, though.
Report Abuse
Just wanted to quickly respond to those who don't understand why I asked the Paris Dollar Store question - and indeed seemed disparaging of the query. 1. Yup they sell a lot of junk that costs only a dollar. Often stuff that costs $15.00 and more other places. 2. They carry loads of convenience items that would be useful during a long stay abroad: cleaning products (both personal and household); storage products (like tupperware); flash lights; Swiss Army type knives; dishes; etc. etc. and etc.
3. I've used them in New York, and have been grateful to find them. 4. And here in Pennsylvania's Amish country there are at least five within 15 miles, and they are eagerly shopped by knowing travelers looking for just the sort of thing you already have at home... and don't want to pay too much for when you're away. Do I have to explain further?
Report Abuse
If you are looking for stuff like, soap, shampoo, etc the best place I found in Nice was Schledekers (sp?), the stuff they carried reminded me of walgreens without the drugs, they were everywhere and, although not $1, their prices were well below mall and other store prices, and they carried name brands such as panteen, dial, etc.
I bet you can find something similar in Paris if you keep your eyes open. I bought paper plates, plastic forks, and cheap glass wine glasses there so we could snack in our room or have a picnic, also I got a 1.5 liter bottle of evian for 57 cents, the big grocery stores were charging $1.20 and at a restraunt anywhere from $3-$7.
Good Luck.
Report Abuse
Just so you know, Monoprix is not exactly a cheap store, it is one of the most expensive you can find. I've alway lived in paris and I don't know the existence of such store. sorry.
Report Abuse
I love Monoprix--cute things to pick up for children and good food sections. As for soap, etc., there is always just the local supermarket--Franprix or such.
Report Abuse
This info might have been very helpful.....10 years ago when the OP was looking for it.
Report Abuse
There's at least a couple of these, according to Google:
Tout à 1 euro:
Report Abuse
I saw several similar kinds of places in the area between the Marche des Enfants Rouges and Republique and something not unlike it near the St Paul Metro on the left side as you go toward Bastille.
I would be very surprised if there weren't a lot of places like this up beyond Belleville and possibly near Place d'Itallie.
I saw and photographed exactly such a store ("Euro") store in Florence in September, just behind San Lorenzo. So it is just finding them.
Report Abuse
The OP may have perished from old age in the ensuing years.
Report Abuse
>>>>The OP may have perished from old age in the ensuing years.
Or, now that they have Dollar stores to look forward to, they will finally take that trip of a lifetime.
Report Abuse
I can see it now . . . Judy_two_shoes is sitting in her lovely Paris flat Thursday afternoon and thinks to herself "Self, how about googling 'Dollar Stores in Paris? Yeah that'll be fun!"
And --she does, finds this 10 year old thread and registers to post that she doesn't know of any . . .

Has anyone else noticed that everything is overpriced at Dollar Stores?

Uniform nanoparticles
Synthesis of silver nanoparticles
The use and synthesis of nanoparticles is one of the most promising technologies of the last decade. While nanoparticles are still being made in batch vessels, continuous flow can offer significant advantages. For example, using continuous flow enables researchers to obtain high-quality Nano particles with good size uniformity. Moreover, the process retains high reproducibility even after scaling up.
