Alves: Why I Can't Return To Barca
Dani Alves: Why I Can't Return To FC Barcelona
Juventus defender Dani Alves has revealed why rejoining Lionel Messi at his former club FC Barcelona is impossible.
The Brazilian spent eight successful seasons at the Catalan club, where he developed into one of the best right backs in world football.
Alves' exit from the Blaugrana at the beginning of this season was anything but graceful as he opened up about how the club had treated him with a lack of respect.
The defender, now at the Bianconeri, believes there are a few bad apples at the Spanish giants, which is why he will not return to the club he won many trophies with.
"The ego of certain people means I can never return to Barcelona," he said, according to Marca.
"Their egos are huge and they'll never recognise or admit to what they made me feel.
"Everything was very beautiful here but in order to come back, Barcelona would have to rectify a lot of things their ego won't allow."
Reports: CR7 Upset With Five Real Teammates
Alves played 391 matches for Barca, scoring 21 goals and assisting an amazing 102 strikes.
Do you think Alves should have been treated with more respect by Barca's board? Let us know in the comments section below.

Arkansas Trucking Report: Jim Phillips, A Well-Oiled Machine
NanoMech CEO Jim Phillips and the Arkansas scientists behind better trucks
It's not often that you get to meet the man who changed the way the world communicates, conducts business, watches TV, and now maintains the hundreds of machines we're surrounded by every day. But if you do get the chance to hang out with Jim Phillips, the CEO of NanoMech who developed and introduced instant messaging, the cable modem, DVR and a handful of other devices that run our lives, be prepared to keep up.
Phillips' presence in a room is electric. He talks about his work with a glimmer in his eye and awe in his voice as he explains how a graduate from Jacksonville High School would dive into the technology sector an introduce the predecessor of texting as we know it, the flip phone, cable internet before Michael Crichton – Yes, that Michael "Jurassic Park" Crichton – tells him about an intriguing new science that could change the world.
If all of this sounds far-fetched, sit back. You need to hear the story of Jim Phillips and the business he's building in Springdale, Ark. with his closest associate and CTO Dr. Ajay Malshe, one of the world's first renowned nanoscientists, that promises to make today and tomorrow's trucks run like a well-oiled machine.
Beam Me Up, Skypager!
Phillips had an early interest in science fiction and moving parts. "I grew up on Star Trek," he says. At six years old, he was reading hand-me-down issues of Popular Science and Popular Mechanics from his older brother. He grew up all over the world, naming Germany and Panama as early homes, before moving to Arkansas his senior year when his dad was a colonel at the Little Rock Air Force Base.
In a hallway lined with pictures of some of the most powerful entrepreneurs and politicians in the world hanging alongside framed magazine covers he's graced, Phillips points to a picture of a plane, "The way I learned my life was through flying those like dad."
He claims his time at Webb Air Force Base in Big Spring, Tex. was just like Top Gun with a best friend whose name was actually Maverick and other real characters like Goose and Major Nail (first name: Rusty). "On Saturdays, I'd go down and learn how to build a plane or take it apart. I've always just had an inkling to get my hands on these things. Plus, I was flying in 'em," he says.
Something going wrong during high speed dive recoveries in advanced jet training is good motivation to want to know everything about the machine. "You've got a speed brake. It's the flap that drops out of the nose that nobody knows about," Phillips explains. "I'm hitting this thing to the point that my leather glove got a big hole in it, and [my hand] started bleeding. Open, open, open! Because if [the flap] doesn't open, I can't pull it out of that high-speed dive without taking the wings off … and dying."
For Phillips, the stakes have not always been life or death. He was offered a scholarship to the University of Arkansas. Instead he crossed the Mississippi River to attend the University of Memphis and completed his thesis on Nortel (Northern Telecom), the second largest telecommunications company in the world at that time. He was hired by the company right out of college in 1975 and moved to Dallas to be involved in research and development.
Phillips has a special ability to recognize the possibilities of technology. It's as if he sees science fiction as just science. When he was presenting the earliest instant messaging to Wall Street, investors and everyone else, it wasn't easy to share that vision with others.
"People would say what I've got is good enough…," he pauses before continuing, "they had a fax machine," as if dropping a punchline. Now it is a punchline to think that a fax machine is good enough or fast enough to communicate or conduct any kind of business, but Phillips knew that then.
"They'd look at me and say, 'Look, if it's important, it will be there in the morning when I get there. It beats mail by days."
When he demonstrated the product, called the Skypager, to FedEx, the head of telecommunications was impressed but bet within the year they'd use only 100 Skypagers. Phillips was incredulous. "You have thousands of pilots?" So he promised them that FedEx would use 500 the first year.
"I can tell you exactly how many they had… 1,787 at $69 a month." The service went viral overnight, and the rest is history. Phillips called Star Trek's James Doohan to market the service with a variation of his famous catch-phrase, "Beam me up, Skypager." Today, we could all no more imagine a world without instant messaging as we could without pizza, and that's no kind of world anyone wants to live in.
The story was similar with the cable modem. Before Phillips shared his vision of Internet outside of telephone companies and the screetching of a dial up handshake, no one would imagine a million TV channels in their Cox Cable bundle.
Nano Level Is The God Level
The vision Phillips is selling now at NanoMech is not better communication. It's better machines, and for trucking, NanoMech is a gamechanger for preventative maintenance. But the company does not actually make or sell machines at all. What's being created in the laboratories and on the manufacturing floor at NanoMech is much, much smaller, but infinitely more revolutionary.
In drums stack 10 high are grease, lubricants and sealants that will be shipped to trucking companies and suppliers around the region like Navistar, Summit Truck Group, Tyson Foods, Walmart Transportation and J.B. Hunt to name a few, as well as a long list of others around the nation. The plastic white bottles that will soon appear on retail shelves are labeled nGuard, AtomOil, AtomGuard and Guardx.
The little "n" (like the lower 'i' in Apple products) is a reference to the nano level, the AtomLube a reference to the atomic level, or, as Phillips likes to say, the god level.
"Being a Christian, that's the way I speak it. A lot of people call it the nature level. But I don't know who Mother Nature is… We are now down to that level where we can make material things just like DNA."
"Now using nanotechnology and DNA chromosomes, very soon no matter what problem we have, we'll be able to in and fix by taking out or adjusting chromosomes," Phillips continues.
To understand the minuteness of the nano level is just as heady as fathoming the vastness of outer space. "We've all seen the telescopes that look out 100 million lightyears, and we know it is infinite because we've seen it." The same massive universes are visible when we look inside electron microscopes, according to Phillips.
"That's why we are working with nano particles. Inside there is the ability to create 3-dimensional periodic tables, with elements, materials. Everything is made of these materials. All your textiles, all your clothes, what you are sitting on. It's all materials. The air you breath," he explains with wonder in his voice.
"We can harness that in nanotechnology."
When the company was first started, they were helping to solve problems in the oil and gas industry when machines were failing in extreme environments like the BP oil spill. According to Phillips, it was a lubrication and sealing issue, and nanotechnology will make sure it doesn't happen again.
"The biggest oil and gas company, they came to us and said, 'Can you fix this big problem? Can you create us a sealant, grease, lubricant, that can last at 6,000-8,000 feet down in the ocean for 25 years?'" NanoMech make that product now and ships it all over the world. They can create products that maintain machines in even tougher environments, like satellites that can't come back down for maintenance and no one can go service them.
The nano level makes it possible to manufacture more safely, too. Motor oil doesn't have to contain dangerous chemicals like ZDDP anymore. At the nano level, Phillips' team replaces harmful additives with Arkansas-produced canola oil, safe enough to eat.
Since working with J.B. Hunt just a few miles down the road and getting to know the specific problems of the trucking industry, they are harnessing that potential for better trucks, because like oil fields, trucks operate in all kinds of harsh environments. Phillips tells the story of a truck that hauled pickles, and the brine was sloshing around and eating away the trailer. Coating the insides with nanomanufactured sealants protected the trailers and saved the carrier a lot of money.
"I know it's rocket science. We apply rocket science to trucks. When we look at trucks, we look at it as a space shuttle. We have to deal with satellites and rockets and everything else."
When it comes to rocket ships, Phillips would know.
When standing on stage two years ago to accept the Edison Award, which honors excellence and innovation in new products and service development, Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, leaned over and asked Phillips, "Does your 'stuff' really work?" and Phillips responded, "Of course, it does."
Nano in NWA
In the late 90s, Phillips was serving on the Board of Virtus with Michael Crichton, who was working on his novel, Prey, a cautionary tale about nanotechnology, artificial intelligence and genetic engineering.
Around the same time, at a fold-up table outside a public restroom at the University of Arkansas, Dr. Ajay Malshe and Dr. Wenping Jiang were actually practicing the nascent science in Crichton's book.
To say Dr. Malshe wrote the definition of nanotechnology is no hyperbole. When he graduated in 1992, the formal name of his degree was "submicron physics" because there literally was no word yet for what he was studying. In 2002, he was invited to Puerto Rico with a group of scientists to define nanotechnology as the industry began to gain traction.
"There was no definition. Nothing on Wikipedia, nothing in Encyclopedia Britannica," Malshe says. "I remember myself being on the board, inventing the word nanomanufacturing and what it means."
Malshe had been building a program in Arkansas, teaching classes, graduating students and Ph.D.s, writing research publications, but the one thing he felt like he had not yet done was practice what he invented. He wanted to create "something that I can put in the hands of people."
Malshe grew up in India, but today, he's spent more of his life in America. "This is my homeland, and India is my motherland." He and his wife fell in love with Northwest Arkansas when he was recruited to the University of Arkansas for his doctorate. When Malshe had the opportunity to start a business and practice science outside the classroom, he didn't look further that his own backyard.
"When I was younger, I always had an ambition that I will build a place rather than a place building me. I was one of those people who swam against the flow. So I decided to stay here and build a reputation in my area, what I do – manufacturing," he says.
It took a long time for NanoMech to win the three Edison Awards (2014, 2016 and 2017), to be granted its latest government contract improve the military's uniforms with materials that protect the wearer from bullets, odors and disease-carrying insects, or to use that same technology to create antimicrobial truck cabs. Unlike a software or app business that could be built quickly and sold for a lot of money, Malshe says it took time to conceive the idea and understand the sound foundation of science.
"Every business has two sides: a science technology product side and then business acumen. NanoMech in the first ten years was really strong in the science and understanding technology, but I must admit that we never had – I never had a mentor like Jim."
If you want to stand on the shoulders of giants, Northwest Arkansas is the place to do it with legacies like Sam Walton, Don Tyson, J.B. Hunt. "I wish I had the opportunity to meet them because entrepreneurship is contagious. But I only heard those stories; I had no one around that I could look at and talk to and get advice."
Malshe found someone with the business acumen that the company needed in Jim Phillips. Phillips had been asked by Fred Smith to help build the FedEx Institute of Technology (FIT) at his alma mater in 2000. Crichton's book had intrigued Phillips, and FIT, called the MIT of the South, began researching nano bioscience.
This led to Phillips meeting the University of Arkansas professors who were already working at the nano level. It was a "small little group, and then somehow, someway, I invested," Phillips recalls. "The next thing you know I became CEO. That's when we started building out here, building factories."
Assembling a Top Team
While Malshe has advanced degrees from Ohio State University and University of Arkansas, Phillips didn't groom his love for science and technology in the classroom. The photos that hang on the wall are of his good friends, Steve, Billy and Mike (Jobs, Gates and Dell respectively), and Phillips says, "Those guys not only don't have science and engineering degrees, they don't have degrees. They all dropped out as freshman."
He would never tell someone not to go to college, but he knows that you don't have to study science if you have vision and are surrounded by people who practice science. And all his life, he's surrounded himself with the brightest, most beautiful minds on the planet.
In fact, most of their employees were once Dr. Malshe's students, and NanoMech has paid the University of Arkansas $1 million, more if you count stocks. They are invested in the students and the community of Northwest Arkansas.
"What attracted me to investing at the beginning of it all was the fact that this science team are brilliant scientists. We hired them here as interns, and they were in Ajay's classes," Phillips says.
"They were actually all my students for years. So this relationship we are describing is more than…" Malshe trails off.
At NanoMech, you never get the sense that science is cold. Phillips and Malshe both talk of their team as the smartest, most loyal, most worthy of respect no matter where they come from. In fact, that diversity is celebrated.
"All my scientists come from overseas," says Phillips. "They are all immigrants. Our parents were immigrants at one point, or grandparents or great grandparents. They got their Ph.D.s here. They got their American citizenship. It's so neat in Arkansas to see these guys. We start them off as interns when they are students, and then we pick the best and brightest. As they get their master's and as they get their doctorate or post doctorate, we are also paying and working with them to get their American citizenship. And their wives or husbands get Ph.D.s too," he continues.
They don't want them going anywhere else, taking that talent and determination outside of the state or outside of the country, because they believe in American innovation and bringing back U.S. manufacturing.
One of the most recent talents Phillips recruited is not a scientist at all though. Bryan Peoples has been in the transportation industry since he was born. His parents and grandparents both owned trucking companies, and after graduating from University of Central Arkansas with a degree in business, Peoples worked for trucking heavy hitters like J.B. Hunt Transport and Tyson Foods. He was working Lowell, Ark. for Transplace, a large transportation 3PL, when he met Phillips.
NanoMech was looking for someone that knew the trucking industry inside and out. They had Malshe's students working on the mechanical engineering, wearing the lab coats and producing answers, but what they needed was someone who knew the right questions that trucking would ask.
"From a customer standpoint, I can't stand not having freight moving. It needs to be rolling. If my truck is in the shop, the customer is getting mad, the driver is getting mad, and we're losing revenue if the wheels aren't turning. So how can we improve that?" Peoples asks.
"Bryan knew that the most important thing with trucks is uptime. Any downtime takes the whole system down and can create safety issues… he grew up walking around in trucking maintenance," Phillips says of Peoples.
Scientific Solutions
Peoples, Malshe and Phillips meet with safety and maintenance executives daily to listen to the problems the machines cause and consider how those solutions can be found using nanotechnology. The new trucks contain more electrical connections than ever, but those connections carry corrosion risk.
To give truck drivers more uptime, NanoMech has created dielectric grease and other lubricants that extend the time between maintenance cycles. Right now, they are regularly extending a truck's maintenance cycle from every 24,000 miles to every 75,000 miles.
Phillips jokes about wanting to work on gravity resistant materials next for hoverboards, but the science that goes into solving friction issues for 80,000 lb. trucks is just as impressive.
"Think for a second," Malshe says, "if human cancer is at the human cell level, people treat humans from head to toe with chemotherapy. It's like you are killing a bird with a cannon. It is so primitive. So I realized that people are taking are of mechanical machines by slapping on lots of lubricants, but the problem is not at that scale. It is at a smaller scale… All the problems left to solve are at nano scale. Therefore, all the solutions are at nano scale."
And it's that kind of thinking and the results it produces that Peoples says is blowing the minds of the people they meet who are lathering trucks with the same grease and lubes that were created 30 or 40 years ago.
Phillips says that's why NanoMech is going to revolutionize trucking, "We out-science everyone."

A "cookie" is a small piece of information sent by a web server to store on a web browser so it can later be read back from that browser. This is useful for having the browser remember some specific information. These are small data files which act as unique identifiers and allow our site to remember a particular user. Cookies do not harm the computer. Certain areas of our website, such as our forums use cookies. Sometimes user's personal information is stored in cookies, and if someone hacks the cookie, then the hacker can get access to your personal information. Even corrupted cookies can be read by different domains and lead to security issues. This is why testing of website cookies is very important.
In this white paper, we will focus on basics of cookies world and also how to test the website cookies.
In today's world, we use websites for numerous activities, like shopping, travel ticket booking. And here comes an important word "cookie" in the picture. Almost, everywhere cookies are used to store the information sent by web servers.
So, we will first focus on what exactly cookies are and how they work. What are cookies?
A cookie is a small piece of information stored in a text file on user's hard drive by WebServer. This information is later used by the web browser to retrieve information from that machine. A cookie contains personalized user data or information that is used to communicate between different web pages. An example is when a browser stores your passwords and user ids. They are also used to store preferences of start pages, both Microsoft and Netscape use cookies to create personal start pages.
Cookies are nothing but the user's identity and used to track where the user navigated throughout the Website's pages.
Why Cookie?
The communication between web browser and the WebServer is stateless. For example, if you are accessing domain http://www.example.com/1.html then the Web browser will simply query to example.com's Webserver for the page 1.html. Next time if you type page as http://www.example.com/2.html then new request is sent to example.com web server for sending a 2.html page, and the web server doesn't know anything about to whom the previous page 1.html served.
What if you want the previous history of this user communication with the web server? You need to maintain the user state and interaction between the web browser and web server somewhere. This is where cookie comes into the picture. Cookies serve the purpose of maintaining the user interactions with the web server.
How does cookie work?
To exchange information files on the web, the HTTP protocol is used. There are two types of HTTP protocol: Stateless HTTP and Stateful HTTP protocol.
Stateless system
A stateless system has no record of previous interactions, and each interaction request has to be handled based entirely on the information comes with it. For, e.g., if we enter http://www.example.com/sample.html into our web browser's address bar and press Enter, then the conversation between the browser and the example.com web server goes like this: Web browser will simply query to example.com web server for the page sample.html.
Once the browser receives the last byte of information using HTTP, the example.com web server essentially forgets about the request data. If now, we send some other request to the web server, it will execute upon the request, without memory of the earlier request. It does not need to remember the earlier request for the response of the new request. This isn't bad for example.com website; no harm, no foul.
Stateful system
Stateful system
Are there are cases where the state does matter for a web based system? The answer is YES, and here comes the Stateful system. Stateful HTTP protocols do keep some history of previous web browser and web server interactions, and this protocol is used by cookies to maintain the user interactions.
Whenever a user visits the site or page that is using a cookie, a small code inside that HTML page writes a text file on users machine called the cookie. When the user visits the same page or domain later time, this cookie is read from disk and used to identify the second visit of the same user on that domain. The expiration time is set while writing the cookie. This expiration time is decided by the application that is going to use the cookie.
Applications where cookies are used
Online Ordering Systems: An online ordering system could be developed using cookies that would remember what a person wants to buy, this way if a person spends three hours ordering CDs at your site and suddenly has to get off the net they could quit the browser and return weeks or even years later and still have those items in their shopping basket.
Website Tracking: Site tracking can show you places on your website that people go to and then wander off because they don't have any more interesting links to hit. It can also give you more accurate counts of how many people have been to pages on your site.
Shopping: Cookies are used for maintaining online ordering system. Cookies remember what user wants to buy. What if the user adds some products in their shopping cart and closes the browser window? When next time same user visits the purchase page, he can see all the products he added in the shopping cart in his last visit.
Marketing: Some companies use cookies to display advertisements on user machines. Cookies control these advertisements.
UserIds: Cookies can track user sessions to the particular domain using user ID and password.
The death of a cookie!
When a web server sets a cookie into the system, it optionally gives it a "death" expiration date. When the date reaches, then the cookie gets deleted from the system.
If the web server does not give an expiration date to a cookie, then the cookie is a per-session cookie. Per-session cookies are deleted as soon as you close the current session of the browser. So, if the cookie is not having any death date, then as soon as the browser is closed, the cookie is no longer into your system.

Drawbacks of cookies
Loss of site traffic: Site containing cookie will be completely disabled and can not perform any operation if a user has set browser options to warn before writing any cookie or disabled the cookies completely. And this results in loss of site traffic.
Loads of cookies: If too many cookies are present on every page navigation and the user has turned on the option to warn before writing a cookie, in that case, this could turn away user from the Website, and this could result in loss of site traffic and eventually loss of business.
Valuable hard drive space: Cookies take up valuable hard drive space, so it may be to your advantage to delete a few on occasion, especially third-party cookies. Third-party cookies are placed on your computer by sites you haven't visited. They usually come from companies who place ads on sites you have visited. Luckily, most browsers give you the option of rejecting only third-party cookies.
Security: Sometimes user's personal information is stored in cookies, and if someone hacks the cookie then a hacker can get access to your personal information. Even corrupted cookies can be read by different domains and lead to security issues. Some sites may write and store your sensitive information in cookies, which should not be allowed due to privacy concerns.
Cookie Testing
Now when we know the basics of cookie world, let's address how to test sites that use cookies.
Disabling Cookies
This is probably the easiest way of cookie testing. What happens when all cookies are disabled? Start like this: Close all browsers delete all cookies from PC.
Now, open the website which uses cookies for actions. Now, perform the major functions on the website. Most of the time, these will not work because cookies are disabled. This isn't a bug: disabling cookies on a site that require cookies disables the site's functionality.
Is it obvious to the website user that he must have the cookies enables? Web servers are recognizing that attempts are made with disabled cookies, so, does it send a page with a normal message that cookies need to be enabled before working?
There should not be any page crash due to disabling the cookies.
Selectively Rejecting cookies
What happens when some of the cookies are accepted, and some are rejected? If there are ten cookies in the web application then randomly accept some cookies say accept 5 and reject five cookies. For executing this test case, you can set browser options to prompt whenever a cookie is being written to disk, delete all previously saved cookies, close all open browsers and then start the test. Try to access major functionality of a Web site. On the prompt window, you can either accept or reject a cookie. What's happening: pages are getting crashed, or data is getting corrupted?
Corrupting cookies
This is the test which will test the site! For this, we need to know the cookies the Website is saving and the information that is stored in the text files. Manually edit the cookie in notepad and change the parameters to some vague values. For e.g., change the content of the cookie, change the name of the cookie, and then perform actions on the website. In some cases, corrupted cookies allow reading the data inside it for any other domain. This should not happen in the case of your Website cookies. Note that the cookies written by one domain say rediff.com can't be accessed by other domain say yahoo.com.
Cookie Encryption
There are websites, where we have no option other than saving sensitive data in the cookie. Here it needs to be tested that the data stored in the cookie is also getting stored in encrypted format.
Deletion of cookies
Access a website and allow it to write a cookie. Now close all the browsers and manually delete the cookies. Again open the same website and try to work on it. Is it crashing?
Sometimes, cookie written by domain say ABC.com may be deleted by same domain but by different page under that domain. This is the common case if you are testing some 'action tracking' web portal. Action tracking or purchase tracking is placed on the action web page, and when any action or purchase occurs by the user, the cookie written on disk get deleted to avoid multiple action logging from the same cookie. Check if reaching to your action or purchase page deletes the cookie properly and no more invalid actions or purchase get logged from the same user.
Multi-Browser testing
This is an important case to check if web application page is writing the cookies properly on different browsers and also the Website works properly using these stored cookies.
Cookies shouldn't be put in the same category as the viruses, spam, or spyware that are often created to wreak havoc and chaos on computers. They are mostly benign tools to help you manage your time more efficiently on the Web. Plus, you have totally control over them if you think your secrecy is being violated. Therefore, accept or reject cookies as you want. And the testing should be done properly to check that website is working with different cookie setting. For the demo, Amazon.com is a very good website for good quality cookie usage.

The Car Connection Chevrolet Volt Overview
The Chevrolet Volt is a unique vehicle: it's the only range-extended electric car sold in high volumes in the world. It functions in a few different ways: at first it operates as electric car off battery power—from 35 to 53 miles, depending on model year—and then switches into a hybrid mode where a gasoline engine and its electric motors jointly power the car, rather like a Toyota Prius.
Chevrolet has wavered on clearly explaining those systems, but one thing is clear: the Volt was the first of its kind from General Motors. It helped ease some owners into electric-car ownership and set the table for the Bolt EV to come later.
MORE: Read our 2018 Chevrolet Volt review
The extended-range concept has proven to be a tough one to market, but the Volt has delivered a whole crop of new owners who would never have considered a Chevy before. The smooth, quiet, and brisk driving experience attracts buyers from expensive German imports, because this is the first Chevy in decades to be at the cutting edge of future technology. It's also the GM car with the highest-ever owner satisfaction ratings in the history of the brand.
Changes for 2018 are limited mostly to a few new paint colors and the deletion of a formerly standard leather-wrapped steering wheel on LT models.
The new Chevrolet Volt
The latest version of Chevy's extended-range electric vehicle retains all of the Volt's strongest attributes while fixing most of the shortcomings of the previous model. Not only does it have that 53-mile electric range, but also its EPA fuel-efficiency rating when the engine switches on is 42 mpg combined. It's slightly less expensive than the previous Volt, though its starting price before incentives is still more than $30,000.
The styling may be the biggest departure from the outgoing model, with smoothed-over, flowing lines taking the place of the somewhat slab-sided and crisp design of the original. The overall Volt silhouette stays relatively similar, ensuring continued aerodynamic slipperiness that's needed to achieve big fuel-economy numbers, although with the softer curves the drag-reducing rear slope is much better integrated and even attractive now.
The second-generation Volt uses an 18.4-kilowatt-hour lithium-ion battery pack that gives a stellar EPA rating of 53 miles of electric range, about one-third more than the 38-mile rating for 2013-2015 Volts. That range will let Volt owners cover nine of every 10 trips solely on grid power, Chevy says, up from about 80 percent previously.
Its range-extending engine is a 1.5-liter 4-cylinder model from GM's latest global family of 3- and 4-cylinder engines. It delivers 101 horsepower at 5,600 rpm, and runs on regular (87-octane) gasoline. After the Volt's battery pack has been depleted, the engine generates electricity by turning one of the two motor-generators to flow electricity to the battery pack. Total output from the two motors is 111 kilowatts (149 hp) and a remarkable 294 lb-ft of torque. An 8.9-gallon fuel tank and the larger battery give a rated range of 430 miles, substantially higher than the last Volt's 340 or so miles.
The blending of electric motors and gas engine has been optimized around GM research that says 80 percent of cars in the U.S. travel less than 40 miles a day. If you use the Volt that way and recharge it overnight, you may go weeks without the engine ever switching on. But if you need to take a road trip, you can do so without the fear of running out of juice. Volt owners who recharge regularly average almost 1,000 miles between visits to the gas station, which happen less than once a month.
Mounted under the load floor of every second-generation Chevrolet Volt is a charging adapter that connects the car to a standard 120-volt home outlet. Using this charging method, the battery takes between seven and 10 hours to top up a depleted battery. Level 2 charging is also available at public sites and can be installed in a user's garage or parking spot at home or work, with costs usually no higher than $2,000; this method cuts charging time to around four hours.
For 2017, the Volt added optional adaptive cruise control and automatic emergency braking to its roster of features.
Chevy Volt history
The first Volt was new for the 2011 model year, and took home several major awards, including the North American Car of the Year award.
The first-generation Chevrolet Volt didn't change much over its five years, though its lithium-ion battery saw two small increases in capacity. Other than some trim changes, and the roof and tailgate now painted in body color rather than glossy black, the last Gen 1 Volt was pretty similar to the 2011 model that launched GM into the business of selling electric cars in volume.
When the first Volt started out with a fully charged battery, it could travel an EPA-rated 38 miles on electricity alone; once the battery was nearly exhausted, the gasoline-powered generator kicked in to recharge it, extending the driving range for another 300 miles or more. After that, occasional stops at a gas pump could extend the range even farther. The Volt's 38 miles of electric range was delivered by a lithium-ion battery pack located in the tunnel between the front seats and below the two rear seats. After the pack was depleted, the car seamlessly switched on its 1.4-liter gasoline engine, which generated electricity to power the electric motor that actually drove the front wheels. Those fundamentals haven't really changed in the second-generation Volt.
Over time Chevy's specs for the first Volt inched ahead. In 2013, Chevy slightly increased the energy capacity of the lithium-ion battery pack, from the original 16 kilowatt-hours to 16.5 kwh, and the usable portion of that energy from 10.3 to 10.8 kwh. That boosted the Volt's EPA-rated electric range from 35 to 38 miles, and it raised the 2013 Volt's efficiency rating from 94 to 98 MPGe, or "miles per gallon equivalent"—the distance the car can travel electrically on the amount of energy contained in a single gallon of gasoline. For 2015, the battery capacity rose again—though this time the ratings stayed the same.
The EPA assigned the first Volt a rating of 98 MPGe over a standard test cycle that blends both pure electric and range-extending gasoline modes.
GM took criticism for the Volt's unadventurous exterior styling, but the interior was seen as more modern, with an Apple-like feel to its glossy plastic control panel. Packaging in the first Volt was another area of concern for some: The Volt's lithium-ion battery pack sits in the tunnel between the seats and under the rear seat. The first Volt could hold four people and some luggage comfortably, but had less interior space than Chevy's similarly-sized Cruze compact four-door sedan.
The options list of the Volt gradually expanded over the years, although 2011 models came with a richer selection of standard equipment than did the 2012s. No sunroof was offered, and there were limited color and wheel options. A low-energy Bose audio system was available, along with a navigation system, leather upholstery, and a selection of interior graphic treatments and finishes.

New York, (PressExposure) March 19, 2009 -- Gino Green Global, one of the many clothes I've seen so far that made me wonder "what are the guys thinking when they decided to design the brand with those? And I don't even know if those are 9s or small Gs skewed to look more like 9s!"
Well, like any other hopefuls out there that has been itching to know what those are, I've chosen to look for some light from the internet to shed some of it on a question that any from the urban community has been asking for "Are those 9s or Gs?".
gino green global is an urban clothing line founded by Prince Mayol in 1999. Prince Mayol has had a lifelong passion for vibrant colors, fashionable designs, and artistic graphic arts. Inspired by the thought of combing all of those elements in one piece, Prince has decided to create a clothing line popularly known today as the gino green global. Along with his brother Anthony Mayol and business partner Norman Wells, the gino green global became a reality.
Prince and the others thought on how to make the gino green global stand out from any other clothing line, and with this Prince have designed the gâs in the gino green global to look intentionally like 9âs. And sure enough, the gino green global got its attention, especially to those trend setting and style conscious people.
By launching the "G" look, intentionally designed to resemble the number 9, Gino Green Global quickly began to get the attention of the style conscious and trend setting NYC fashion crowd.
The gino green global clothing line got popular because of its many endorsements from the famous and the popular such as Papoose, Kay Slay, 50 cents, Denzel Washington, Mike Jones, Lil Scrappy, Lloyd Banks, Young Buck, Big Tigger, Terrance and Rocsi of 106 and park, Ed Lover, Lance Feurtado. The brand also got popularized because of its many appearances at local basketball tournaments, to the sizzling NYC night life and party scene.
Gino Green Global, the global minded, culture and urban influenced clothing company has incorporated a fresh new logo consisting of three interlocking capital G's with wings to resemble the brands development and taking flight to a global echelon. We design for those who do not stand still but live and love life as leaders for others to follow.

Reposted from Making Change at Walmart
John Paul "JP" Ashton, is a 31-year old Walmart maintenance worker who makes around $20,000 a year. Originally from Colorado, Ashton now lives in Washington. He is the father of two and has worked at Walmart for more than five years to support his family.
"When I first started at Walmart I was told that it was a place where I could grow and have opportunities. I soon discovered that was not the case," said Ashton. "People take being able to buy lunch for granted. I don't need a fancy job, but what I do need is a job that allows me to provide for my family and to be able to speak out without fear of retaliation. It would also be nice to have more than $2 in my bank account after I pay my bills."
Ashton, who must walk 45 minutes to work, prides himself on being a provider for his family. As one of the many Walmart workers who earn less than $25,000 a year, during his time with the mega-retailer Ashton has had to, at times, rely on food banks to feed his family. Currently, he receives food stamps in order to put food on the table.
"No one wants to have to rely on food stamps to live (and trust me I know how to budget the little money I make), but at the end of the day because of what Walmart pays I have no other choice. It's hard for me to understand how a company that makes all that money and a family that has over $144 billion can justify what they pay workers," he said.
Ashton, who enrolled in Walmart's healthcare plan in order to provide insurance to his two children, brings home on average $1200-1400 a month. Often he is unable to pay his rent in full because his bi-weekly paycheck does not cover the full amount.
Ashton joined OUR Walmart because he wanted to have a voice on the job and the ability to speak with management about working conditions without fear of retaliation.
When asked what $25,000 a year would mean for him Ashton's remark was simple, "Freedom…freedom to do more things for my children."
"I don't need or want much. Yes, it would be nice to have a car or maybe a house. It would even be nice to have more than $10 in my bank account. Sam Walton said 'you treat employees right, treat customers right and we all make money.' Walmart does not does not live up to that and I am going to keep fighting until they do."
Read about more workers like JP each week as we release more stories from the majority of Walmart employees who struggle to get by on less than $25,000 a year.

The States of Eastern Europe and the Former Soviet Union
1. Poland achieved stability in the l960s but by 1971 economic problems became unsettling. An effort in 1980 to pay off its foreign debt by increasing food prices resulted in worker protests that gave birth to a labor movement called Solidarity. Concessions were wrung from the government until December 1981 when leaders of Solidarity were arrested. The union was outlawed and the military assumed rule. In 1988 demonstrations broke out and the regime had to concede free parliamentary elections. In April 1990 it was decided that a new president would be freely elected. In December Lech Walesa was chosen president.
2. After the Soviet Union crushed the Hungarian revolution in 1956, it imposed Janos Kadar on the nation. A reformist1 he maintained many of the revolution's economic reforms. In the 1980s, he legalized small private enterprise and slowly moved Hungary away from strict Soviet dominance. Multi-candidate elections were permitted in 1985. Nevertheless, economic difficulties led to Kadar's ouster in 1988. The communist government faced growing dissatisfaction from the populace and began initiating reforms. In 1990 elections brought a coalition government to power which committed Hungary to democracy and a free economy.
3. Although the Czechoslovakian Communist government repressed opposition after the 1968 revolution, dissident movements grew in the 1970s and especially the 1980s. Attempts to suppress demonstrations in 1988 and 1989 led to more demonstrations. Continuing public pressure resulted in the collapse of the Communist government in December 1989. The Czechs and Slovaks could not agree on the makeup of the new state and therefore peacefully agreed to divide the country between the Czech Republic and Slovakia. This was accomplished on January 1, 1993.
4. The iron grip of Nicolae Ceausescu in Romania was broken in 1989 when his plan for rapid urbanization in conjunction with a poor economy and food shortages led to the loss of support from the people and the army. He was executed on Christmas Day, 1989. The new government has shown little commitment to democracy. In nearby Bulgaria the Communist party succumbed to anti-government demonstrations in 1989 and in 1990 free elections were held with the old Communist party under the name of the Bulgarian socialist won the election. Likewise, the movement to democracy reached Albania in 1989 when reforms brought free elections in 1991. In Yugoslavia, the death of Josip Tito in 1980 left a vacuum and when the people were caught up in the reform movements the government ended authoritarian socialism in 1990. Serbian (Yugoslavia) objectives in forming a Greater Serbian state have led to war.
1. How did the democratic movements of the 1980's destroy communism?
The States of Eastern Europe and
the Former Soviet Union
The People's Republic of China 1945-1970
1. By 1948 the demoralized Nationalist forces of Chiang Kai-shek were disintegrating. In 1949 Chiang and one million mainland Chinese fled to Taiwan. In victory, Mao Zedong proclaimed the People's Republic of China. Within three years the Communists succeeded in consolidating their rule. It was not accomplished without cost. In 1957 Mao admitted 800,000 "enemies' had been liquidated.
2. With a large army at its disposal, China sought to re-establish its jurisdiction over the important areas lost with the decline of the Manchus. Mongolia became a separate republic with ties to the Soviet Union, but China retained Xinjiang. China also sent its forces into Tibet.
3. Mao and Joseph Stalin established a close relationship in the early 1950s and China followed Russia's lead in world affairs. In 1950 a thirty-year treaty of friendship was signed. China began to go its own way, however, as it initiated the Great Leap Forward in 1958 to achieve accelerated development. When Nikita Khrushchev of the Soviet Union criticized Chinese policy, Mao reacted angrily in 1960 and relations between the two states deteriorated. Russian economic aid was abruptly cut off and scientists helping to build a Chinese atomic bomb were withdrawn. In 1969 fighting between China and Russia occurred along the northern border of Xinjiang and over an island in the Ussuri River in the northeast. Both deployed about a million troops along their 5000 mile mutual border.
4. Sino-Indian relations took a tumble when Chinese troops suppressed a revolt in Tibet in 1959 and India gave asylum to the Dalai Lama. When it was learned the Chinese were building a road in a region of Tibet claimed by India, troops were sent to the area in the summer of 1962. A brief border war was fought in which Indian troops were routed when Chinese forces crossed the border.
5. In 1975 a unified Vietnam became an ally of the Soviet Union and thus an enemy of China. The Soviets gave economic and military aid in return for a naval base at Cam Ranh Bay. Relations with China deteriorated in the late 1970s in part due to ill treatment of ethnic Chinese in the country and belief that Vietnam was not sufficiently grateful for the aid it had given during the war. In 1979 China sought to teach Vietnam a lesson by invading its four northern provinces. Vietnam repulsed the invaders but with heavy losses for both sides.
6. In 1997 Hong Kong was returned to China.
1. What problems existed between China and Russia?
2. What were the sources of conflict between China and India?

A long, long time ago (probaby about the time I last posted here!) I wrote a piece of software to measure the readability of text. I thought nothing of it - it was just a bit of fun. Since then, it turns out to have been more useful than I thought, so I moved it onto its own domain. I didn't think about the domain, just wanted to move the tool off my own domain and stop it interferring with my professional site.
I went against every domain name rule and moved to a hyphenated, difficult-to-spell, domain name: readability-score.com.
This year I redeveloped the site, and now it's doing much better. But it's still on the same domain. I had the opportunity to pick up readable.io, so I've done so. Now, I need to work out if it's better to move now, move later, or not move at all.
Moving now gets it out of the way, but maybe loses me some domain authority and domain age SEO benefits - and this site has both. Tonnes of .edu links at the moment, cited in academic papers etc.
Moving later maybe means moving when I'm better able to weather problems. Or maybe that the problems are more severe?
Not moving at all means living with a rubbish domain name forever.
So I'm after some thoughts from smarter people than me, and they hang out here! Does anyone have anything that can help me decide which way to go here?

My name is Baby and I was born in a Muslim family in Malappuram.
Though our religion taught me that there is only one God and he loves us, I never experienced that love. I never got satisfaction or peace from there.
After a few years, I was married to a person named Satish. We had faced a lot of difficult situations after the marriage and it was really a worse time I ever had.
Our problems became more and more difficult and we decided to suicide. At that time, we happened to shift to Ernakulam and Jesus Christ showed his love on us.
Although we never tried to know him, he came to our life and filled our hearts with his peace. Now we are filled with his happiness and love and I believe that he will not leave us alone in our problems.
We have decided to live for Jesus until our last breathe and I pray for his blessings to work for his glory.
I request your prayers to have more and more wisdom to understand the word of God

Self-Supporting Business Major is First College Student in Her Family
My name is Analisa Pineda. I am twenty years old, and my major is Business Administration. I am currently a student at CSM and also work as a student assistant at the Chancellor's Office at the San Mateo County Community College District. My goal is to receive my AA and then transfer to San Francisco State University.
I come from a somewhat unstable background. I am the only child of four who has graduated from high school, attended college, and has the dream and motivation to reach the highest educational level possible. And it is my goal to continue to go to school regardless of my financial circumstances.
I am fully independent and support my own schooling, food, transportation, and housing. I manage my income and time so that I can continue to go to school every semester. However, I had come to a point where I needed to reduce the amount of units I was taking and put more hours in at work. I was declined financial aid this year because my estimated contribution exceeded the limit (which includes my mother's income, even though she doesn't contribute to my school tuition). I also applied for over 20 scholarships, but I did not receive any funding until now.
I just want to thank you and your committee so much for this. I can't explain how much you all will help me out. Your financial support will pay for my books this summer and fall and help me finish my community college education in a timely manner, moving me closer to transferring.
Thank you so much.
Best regards,
–Analisa Pineda, scholarship recipient, 06/05/12.

Openoffice.org with multiple language packs, KDE with a single language pack and Firefox with everything in the same package. Firefox having everything in the same package is a common user complaint in fedora-list and forums especially since it bloats the package to over double the usual size and the extensions are visible in the user interface.So, you're suggesting picking a fight with every upstream that does it the wrong way? That will be ... fun.
Not a fight. Act as a bridge for users, collaborate with upstream (considering that we are a active part of upstream in this case) and figure out a good solution that does not bloat the package and have other effects like more resource use or slower speed of startup.
Some of these details are just coming out with good packaging guidelines on how we deal with language packs instead of every group doing it's own thing. There must be more common ground here.

Kindle 3 has free Wi-Fi access at AT&T hotspots
Amazon calls it "free Wi-Fi access" but also says you can use it for Kindle shopping, so I'm not sure whether this means the access is restricted to just the Kindle store. At minimum, I would expect it to also sync notes and bookmarks, but I'll have to drop in at a Starbucks and test it out.
See Amazon's help page for details on how to set it up. AT&T has a hotspot locator map if you want to find nearby locations.
