After generally keeping an eye out for a 1989 or 1990 JDM KR speedometer for three or four years (and having no success) I got hold of a 1989 ZXR250 speedo instead. This has the same three wires (Brown, Black-Yellow and Pink) as the corresponding KR speedo for a speed limiter switch inside the speedo casing. I reasoned that there may be a chance that the speed limiter switch in the ZXR speedo would work in the same way as that in the KR version. For your general info, the following part numbers apply to OEM JDM speedo units:
Later ZXR250C (and D) models have a different part number again (25005-1480), but I haven't seen a wiring diagram for any of those models (so I can't confirm that any speed limiter switch wiring is the same as the KR and early ZXR models).
The ZXR speedo I obtained is obviously secondhand (about 33,500km on the odometer), but is in very good condition and seems untampered with.
The resistor which Spyros mentioned jogged something in my memory and I returned to the April 1989 KR-1S/KR-1R New Model Guide. After some in-depth translation, I discovered that this booklet seems to contain almost all of the information required to bypass the restriction. Here is a (translated) block diagram of the CDI unit from the booklet:
Sub-assembly No.10 is the speed limiter circuit inside the CDI unit. As you can see, this connects to the speedometer (via the pink wire). The speedo is depicted as a resistor in series with the secondary portion of an opto-coupler, the bottom end of which is connected to earth/frame/negative. Thus, it appears under 'normal' conditions that the pink wire is connected to earth via a resistor. From this, I inferred that when the speedo reaches 180km/h, the sector on the speedo shaft causes the opto-coupler to switch off, thus creating an open circuit between the pink wire and earth. The same effect should be created by unplugging the pink wire, which is what Virgie's experience has suggested.
Reading further in the New Model Guide, I discovered more interesting info (paraphrased from translation): When the voltage at the connection point with the speedo is outside the set voltage range, the ignition timing is fixed at 3 degrees BTDC from 10,100rpm onwards.
The ignition timing at 10,100rpm is normally about 13 degrees BTDC, so retarding it a further 10 degrees is bound to produce a noticeable difference in performance...as Virgie found.
With all the above in mind, I proceeded with testing the ZXR speedo, connecting the wires as follows:
Brown - to positive terminal of 12V DC power supply
Black-Yellow - to negative terminal of 12V DC power supply
Pink - to positive terminal of ohm-meter (i.e. a multimeter on the resistance range)
The negative terminal of the ohm-meter was connected to the negative terminal of the DC power supply (common with the Black-Yellow wire).
I have a laboratory-type 12V AC/DC power supply which I use for checking electrical components and wiring systems. The open-circuit output voltage was 14.5V DC when I checked it before the test.
The first problem I encountered was that I needed to spin the speedo drive shaft anti-clockwise (the right-angled 'gearbox' on the speedo unit does not reverse the direction of rotation as I had first thought). None of my rotary tools equipped with reverse functions would spin fast enough to indicate speeds over about 80km/h, so I resorted to a Dremel Multitool fitted with a nylon wire brush, driving the green plastic gear on the speedo shaft after the right-angled gearbox had been removed. By selecting a medium speed on the Dremel and varying the contact pressure, I was able to gradually increase the speedo indication from zero to about 230km/h (or at least where the 230km/h mark should be).
With the circuit connected, but the power supply switched off, the reading on the ohm-meter was infinity (open circuit). When the power supply was switched on (but the speedo shaft not yet rotating), the meter indicated about 18,000 ohms. This suggests that the opto-coupler switched on when the voltage was applied.
When the speedo shaft started rotating, the reading on the ohm-meter remained fairly steady all the way up to about 185-190km/h, at which point the reading changed to infinity. The infinity reading was maintained with further increase in speed (up to possibly about 230km/h) and then returned to about 18,000 ohms once the speed had dropped below the 185-190km/h point.
The result of the test seems fairly conclusive, suggesting that connecting the pink wire to earth via a resistor of about 18,000 ohms should bypass the restriction.
HOWEVER, remember that I have tested a ZXR speedo, not a KR speedo. The ZXR speedo is obviously different to the KR speedo in some (as yet unknown) way, but this may have nothing to do with the speed limiter switch. It would surely reduce the cost of the speedo for the maker (Nippon Seiki) and the customer (Kawasaki) if the same speed limiter switch was used on as many speedo units as possible.
Notwithstanding the chance to test a JDM KR speedo (or somebody pointing out a flaw in my testing procedure), I would suggest that connecting the '1275' CDI's pink wire to earth via a resistor of about 18,000 ohms should bypass the restriction and make the ignition characteristic the same as the export model '1287' CDI unit.
Despite the unknown factor of any difference between KR and ZXR speedos, it is unlikely that any damage could be done using a reasonably high resistance like that measured.
If Virgie or anyone else is willing to make the connection with a resistor as suggested and let us know what happens, we may be further along the way to closing the book on the matter of derestriction of JDM CDI units.

Every group of friends has a Jerry Gergich who has a habit of making a mess of even the simplest task. Great for a laugh, but every now and then they fail so hard that it goes beyond simple humour to instead become a work of art.
Like this vintage viral video of a poor girl's 10/10 face plant as she attempts to jump over a puddle. Why she needed to jump in the first place is baffling as it doesn't look that deep. But she does. And when thrust, combined with mass, do their thing she finds herself on the receiving end of nature's mud mask.
The best part is the fact that her friends are laughing so hard they're unable to help her up.

Phoebe Bronstein
I have always thought Lifetime was for the older ladies, but these days something is afoot in their programming with shows like summer hit Drop Dead Diva, the sexy women of Army Wives, Project Runway, and the premier of a new show with Ally Walker, The Protector. I must admit I have never seen Army Wives as it never appealed to me and I haven't seen Project Runaway since it moved to Lifetime. However, I just watched the first two episodes of The Protector, and it isn't too bad thus far; then again I am a total sucker for any and all crime oriented television shows.
But my favorite Lifetime show and one my favorite summer shows is Drop Dead Diva. Not only am I a big Drop Dead Diva fan, but I feel like it is a show particularly necessary for the current television landscape. Last summer ABC Family canceled Huge (which made me really sad) and then Marie Claire published Maura Kelly's upsetting and disrespectful response to Mike & Molly on their blog (read here). That is, the current TV climate is not one that welcomes weight differences and is at times downright cruel. Enter Drop Dead Diva, a show that features and celebrates a brilliant, sexy, and plus size woman as its central character. The show is now in its third season and going strong.
So here's the basic plot: Deb, a skinny model in love with a lawyer, Grayson, dies in a car accident. Deb goes to heaven, presses the return button, and comes back in the body of Jane (Brooke Elliott), a plus size, workaholic lawyer with Margaret Cho as her secretary (Margaret Cho is so awesome). Deb, now Jane, goes to work at the law firm where her now grieving fiancé, Grayson works. Drama ensues as Jane/Deb tries to win back Grayson's heart, balance her new life in her new body, and all the while rocking her lawyer socks—a feat she accomplishes amongst a myriad of celebrity cameos from Paula Abdul and Wendy Williams to Wanda Sykes. And just in case you thought the show couldn't get better, the show is sprinkled with fantasy song and dance sequences which showcase Brooke Elliott's incredible voice and talent. So good!
But here is the thing, in a climate where most of the women of television and particularly those that have their own shows are somewhere in, around, and under a size 2, Jane is an awesome anomaly. She is sexy and the show believes she is sexy. But the show and Jane also struggle (particularly in the first season) with the social pressures surrounding her body although the show is definitely not about weight. It is interesting to note here too, that the last time Margaret Cho was on television she was forced to undertake some serious weight loss, which we all know is really bad for your health. Now Cho is on Drop Dead Diva, a show that celebrates her curvy body.
While this is all true and awesome, Lifetime's own homepage features diet tips for women and the network also airs a show on weight loss geared at women: Cook Yourself Thin. And while roaming around Lifetime's site, I came across pictures of celebrities who have lost weight, some healthier than others. This photo essay does not appear critical of the Hollywood super skinny aesthetic or interested in weight loss for health purposes. And it seems odd to me that something like this photo essay can coexist on Lifetime with Drop Dead Diva's emphasis on beauty in all different shapes and sizes. But I guess it all makes sense given the bodies that are front and center on Lifetime's other shows, such as Army Wives, Project Runway, and The Protector (ie some very thin and fit women).
So yes, Lifetime has definitely gotten a face lift of epic proportions—from made for TV women's films, which they still show, to snazzy new programming like Drop Dead Diva and Army Wives. The promo picture for Army Wives clearly seems to be looking for sex appeal—something I never thought I would see on Lifetime. As an aside, if Lifetime is a network targeted at women and they are selling the sex appeal of the Army Wives (in their marketing at least), might they in fact be targeting women who love women? As that would be cool. But if not, who are they appealing to? And why doesn't a network that markets itself towards women have more appealing and strong women like Jane? Also note: the Lifetime website has astrology tabs. Interesting and perhaps a little odd.
This is all to say that Drop Dead Diva is a serious breath of fresh air in a TV and larger media landscape that does not embrace weight differences. Jane is a hardworking and bad ass lawyer, but she also happens to be sexy, sassy, and flirty and sometimes struggles with her confidence (be honest, we all do at times). And she is even, unlike the women of many crime shows, pretty decent at dating and has friends (seriously, lots of friends). So clearly I am a fan and perhaps not as critical as I could be here, but this girl would love to see more shows like Drop Dead Diva. And I will probably now watch anything with Brooke Elliott as she is awesome.

"Once the young man or woman figures out how to run the program, they move on and then people like me, who've been overseeing the regulatory compliance programs for major companies is left dealing with a new guy that doesn't know his arse from a hole in the ground. He interprets everything differently in an effort to distinguish himself from his predecessor and you find yourself revisiting ridiculous issues that were laid to rest years ago and that not only goes with the young E3, but for the officers as well. We recently had a LtCmdr openly state that "I reserve the right to be more intelligent that my predecessor." Upon hearing that, I could only shake my head."In my time in the physical security field in the military I took for granted the phenomenon that Osocampana describes; that was simply the way the military did things. When new inspectors rotated into the command they brought a new way of looking at things and the focus of inspections changed slightly. In a way it made for a program that did not grow stale overtime. Of course, the only thing that we were expending on the program was time and hard work; inspectors could not require the expenditure of real money or long term capital expenditures. In the CFATS program, or the MTSA program, the new look can require the significant expenditure of money, money that inevitably must come from business revenues and could potentially have an important impact on profits. Fortunately for Osocampana and his fellow regulatory compliance officers, the CFATS program is being administered by the civilian side of the Federal government where professional inspectors can be expected to be around for long periods of time. No, the 'new requirements' in the CFATS program will from the minds of politicians not the opinions of the new inspector on station. This will make them more predictable and allow for facilities to have more input into the change. I'm just not sure that it will make for a more robust program over time or if it will just end up like the enforcement programs found in OSHA and EPA; only effective in response to incidents not preventing problems. We'll see.

Reader Comment 05-26-10 CG Inspectors III
It always amazes me what subjects call forth reader's comments. We have another look at the issue of Coast Guard Inspectors (CGI) with a response from another reader, Osocampna, to my post from February. Again, this is a lengthy comment and well worth the read at the end of that post. I want to take a look at one point that the writer makes about turn-over. Osocampana writes:

2 eggs
100g cake flour
10g milk powder
70g milk
20g salad oil
10g baking powder
25g sugar
25g honey
red bean paste
– beat eggs and sugar till frothy. Add honey, milk and salad oil. Mix well
– sift flour, milk powder and baking powder. Add into wet ingredients in few additions and mix till mixture is smooth
– at this point, sieve your mixture to get a smoother mix. I left the batter in the fridge whilst my maker was warming up
– roll red bean paste into a long log (depending on the size of your fish). I used a 6g filling for each paste
– pour batter into piping bag and pipe onto fish mould ~ about 60% full. It's quite a trial and error here (it "wasted" me 2 fish to get it right)
– with quick hands, place bean paste onto fish and pipe to cover the bean paste
– close the maker and cook till fish has browned
Personal notes:
– my maker is an electric waffle maker and took me about 3 mins to cook the taiyaki
– after adding bean paste, do not pipe the entire fish again (only sufficient to cover the bean paste). too much batter will result on the underside being overcooked, and the upperside undercooked. also, the taiyaki will not be spongy
something different for dessert… |ω・)

Karl called me about three months ago. Karl is a trained killer and a hard drinking womaniser. Let me quickly add that Karl only kills for the U.S. and was trained by the U.S. special forces and was a true hero in Vietnam. It seems that Karl's fifth wife recently left him and he was unhappy. Since Karl and I are the same age and have known each other for a long time, I told Karl that I would get back to him very soon.
I called a friend George, whose nickname was the hammer, and told him about Karl. George was also in special forces and is also the same age as Karl and I. George spends his time and much of his own money working in dog rescue operations in the southeast Florida area. I asked George if he would locate a dog for Karl and I would cover the expenses. George agreed to take the dog over to Karl's house and "get the mission accomplished " once he located a friendly dog.
George located a Pug that the owners had to give up because of a job loss and relocation by the married couple. He took the Pug over to Karl's house and explained that the Pug needed a new home. Karl agreed to accept the dog. It worked out well and both Karl and the Pug were getting along very well. Karl, who lacks originality, decided to name the dog Pugsy. Karl even told me that Pugsywas a dog that he could trust and a dog who would defend him at all times. How a small Pug could defend someone is beyond me, but Karl seemed a lot happier with his new friend.
A few days ago Karl called me and he sounded upset. When I inquired, Karl told me that he was worried about his dog, Pugsy. " What is the Problem," I asked. Karl told me that the dog was trying to send him a message. I asked Karl if he weretaking any new medications or drinking heavily. " I don't take medicines and with this new dog, I really do not have time or a need to drink." Karl then described that his dog Pugsy would stand on her back legs and bark twice and then lie down and roll over three times. I told Karl to give the dog a few extra dog munchies and call me again in a few days.
Karl called again in a few days and stated that he was driving into my region to consult with a certified pet psychic near the Orlando area. A few hours later, Karl parked his BMW behind my wife's car and came to my front door holding a very cute little dog. I invited Karl and Pugsy inside. Karl was burdened with the dog, a dog blanket, a plastic dog bone, and a plastic dog bowl. Once inside, I told Karl that Pugsy could sit on my lap and I would soon discover her problem. " Don't joke. This is serious," replied Karl.
With Pugsy sitting on my lap, I rubbed her neck. "Are you a good dog?" I asked. Pugsy replied: " Snork. Snork." " Are you happy to be here?" " Snork. Snork." I told Karl that everything was OK and placed Pugsy down on the floor. Pugsy then got up on her back legs, barked several times and then rolled over. Karl replied: "See. The dog is trying to tell us something." I make it a point not to argue with Karl so I just laughed. Karl said: "Pugsy and I are leaving here at 14 hundred and since you owe me a favor, I want you to go with us to visit the dog psychic." I told my wife that I was going on a short drive with Karl and Pugsy.
The three of us left at 14 hundred sharp, and Karl already had the dog psychic's address in the navigation system. Madam Lenzel, a world famous animal psychic, had a farmlike house about 30 miles south and east of my house. Karl pulled his BMW into her driveway at the same time Madam Lenzel appeared. After all the introductions, Karl handed Madam Lenzel an envelope and we all went inside.
Karl, Madam Lenzel, and I each took seats in very comfortable chairs that were more or less facing one another. Madam Lenzel then told us that she would enter a psychic trance and that Karl and I were not to talk. Without a single word being spoken, Pugsy jumped up into the Psychic's lap. Madam Lenzel placed a gentle hand on each side of Pugsy's head and closed her eyes. To my surprise, Pugsy also closed her eyes. For over five minutes total silence enveloped the room. Then both Madam Lenzel and Pugsy opened their eyes and Pugsy jumped to the floor and curled up by Karl's feet.
Madam Lenzel tokd us that Pugsy did indeed have very important information for us. She stated that the little dog's real name was Nostradogmus. It turns out that Nostradogmus was the only living member of the 39th. generation of dogs directly descended from a dog that was Nostradamus' pet dog. Nostradamus published a series of prophecies in a famous book titled: Les Prophetics. This book appeared in 1555, and was to be followed by a second book. Unfortunately, before the second book could be written, Nostradamus became ill. Shortly before his death on July 2,, 1566, Nostradamus called his faithful dog to his side and informed Nostradogmus the 1st. that upon his death all of his amazing psychic skills would be transferred to his beloved pet. The dog that Karl knew as Pugsy was in reality Nostradogmus the 39th. Nostradogmus the 39th was instructed to reveal three great prophicies in the year of our Lord 2011, to Van Conoley for publication on the famous website known as sanityandsense.com. Madam Lenzel then revealed the three great prophicies to me and instructed me when I was to relaese them to the world and the known universe.
The date is drawing near, so I would suggest to one and all that you closely moniter this website for the great three prophicies. SOON YOU WILL BE ABLE TO READ WHAT THE FUTURE HOLDS IN AN ARTICLE TITLED: NOSTRADOGMUS PREDICTS. Please do not be fooled by false prophets, only this website will bring the exact words of Nostradogmus.

On February 25th, 1956 at the closed XX Congress of the CP SU (Communist Party of the Soviet Union) Nikita Sergeyevich Khrushchev - the First Secretary of the Central Committee of Communist Party of the USSR made the most unexpected and sensational speech "On the Personality Cult and its Consequences". In this speech all the essential values that were imposed by the totalitarian state upon its population for the period of three decades were revealed and condemned. Khrushchev's speech remained secret, until the Gorbachev's era. Despite this fact, the document can be viewed as the pivoting point in the Soviet system's historic changes. Information on "the Personality Cult of Stalin" was perceived by the population in the Soviet Union, especially by the younger generation in Georgia . This statement, led to mass protests in Georgia.
Along with the "Top Secret" archival documents IDFI publishes excerpts from the official periodic media of the Soviet Georgia issued in March 1956. These newspapers were selected in the National Parliamentary Library of Georgia. We would like to emphasize, that in the Soviet Georgian printed media we were not able to find a mere mention of the events developing in Tbilisi and other cities of Georgia in March 1956.
We think that our collection of newspapers, together with the archival documents will fully display the events of 1956 and hope this will help researchers, scholars, experts, Soviet Studies specialists and society interested in this topic to better interpret the issue. Also we hope this will give the opportunity to the interested society to make a distinction between official propaganda of those times and actual political reality.

It happened again.
According to DNAinfo, a cow once again decided to run through the streets of Queens on Friday morning.
The news comes after Instagram users posted videos of the animal running loose along Liberty Avenue at CUNY's York College campus in Jamaica.
A CUNY spokeswoman confirmed to DNAinfo that the cow had escaped from a nearby slaughterhouse and fled to the school — where many tried to recapture it at around 10:30 a.m.
Videos show the animal running as it is chased through the school grounds and police can be seen in the video watching the cow, while a man — with what looks like a lasso—tried to get near the animal.
The spokeswoman added that the slaughterhouse staff managed to catch the cow after about 20 minutes, according to DNAinfo.
RELATED:Cow that got loose in NYC will not be slaughtered
This cow's Friday morning adventure comes more than two months after another cow made a daring escape in the same neighborhood and was spotted running around streets near Jamaica Avenue and Merrick Boulevard.
That cow — which was later named Freddie—gained so much attention after its escape that people started a petition for it to be saved after news broke that it was still scheduled to be killed.
Freddie was rescued by Skylands Animal Sanctuary and Rescue in Wantage, New Jersey and was taken to a vet to be checked.
It was not immediately clear which slaughterhouse Friday's cow came from or what the fate of the animal will be.

US homebuilding saw stronger than expected activity in April with a 5.7% rise in housing starts, with increases in both single-family and multi-family housing units. Data for the month before was also revised upward.
Key Takeaways
- US housing starts rose 5.7% to 1.235 million units vs 1.205 million expected last month with gains in both categories.
- Declining mortgage rates are believed to be a driving factor in the positive housing market activity.
- Data for March was revised upward, rising to a pace of 1.168 million units instead of dropping to 1.139 million units as initially reported.
Building permits, an indicator of future activity, rose 0.6% to a rate of 1.296 million units for April after declining for three months in a row. Single-family housing permits dropped for the fifth straight month, which may point to another cooldown in homebuilding on the horizon.
The rate of 30-year fixed rate mortgages dropped to 4.10% interest after peaking at 4.94% in November. The high interest rates were a major factor impacting affordability for would-be buyers. Decreasing mortgage rates are a result of the Federal Reserve lifting its three-year monetary policy tightening campaign.
A survey on Wednesday showed increased homebuilder confidence which hit a 7-month high in May, although labor and lot shortages continue to stand in the way of market growth, as does rising material costs. The housing market has been struggling since last year with a 2.8% contraction in homebuilding investment in Q1 2019, the 5th quarterly decline in a row.
First Cut: Housing starts improve in April, but permits issued hint that activity may be restrained as the spring progresses. https://t.co/t4SJeQPc1w pic.twitter.com/4Ssl9mh1M8
— Whetstone Analysis LLC (@AnalysisLlc) May 16, 2019
Report Data
Single-family homebuilding, the bulk of the housing market, rose 6.2% to 854,000 units in April. This category surged in the Midwest where favorable dry weather conditions may have aided groundbreaking after months of flooding. Single-family starts also rose in the Northeast and West, dropping in the South where the majority of homebuilding takes place.
In the more volatile category of multi-family homes which includes apartment complexes and condominiums, starts rose 4.7% to 381,000 units. Permits for single-family homes dropped 4.2% and permits for multi-family homes rose 8.9%.
Market Reaction
The price of gold has fallen following the release of the report. Spot gold is now trading up 0.18% at $1,297.03/oz. Selling pressure may also be coming from the market reaction to strong reports from the labor market and the manufacturing industry released in conjunction with the housing starts report.

Thomas Canning (Maidstone) Limited Fined $40,000 for Offences under the Food and Drugs Act
November 10, 2017, Ottawa: On November 6, 2017, in the Ontario Court of Justice in Windsor, ON, Thomas Canning (Maidstone) Limited of Maidstone, Ontario, pled guilty to and was convicted by indictment on one count of contravening Section 5.(1) of the Food and Drugs Act. The company was ordered to pay total fines of $40,000.
Section 5.(1) of the Food and Drugs Act states that no person shall label, package, treat, process, sell or advertise any food in a manner that is false, misleading or deceptive, or is likely to create an erroneous impression regarding its character, value, quantity, composition, merit or safety.
The Canadian Food Inspection Agency's (CFIA) investigation determined that between September 2013 and July 2015 the company falsely labelled some of its regular canned tomato products as "organic" canned tomato products.
Contravening Section 5.(1) results in an offence under Section 31.1 of the Food and Drugs Act. Every person who contravenes any provision of this act or the regulations, as it relates to food, is guilty of an offence and liable:
- on summary conviction, to a fine not exceeding $50,000 or to imprisonment for a term not exceeding six months or to both; or
- on conviction by indictment, to a fine not exceeding $250,000 or to imprisonment for a term not exceeding three years or to both.
The CFIA is responsible for the administration and enforcement of federal legislation, acts and regulations, including the Food and Drugs Act.
The CFIA is dedicated to safeguarding food, animal, and plant health, which enhances the health and well-being of Canada's people, environment, and economy.

JTB sponsors Great Barrier Reef coral nursery
The Great Barrier Reef's first offshore nursery at Fitzroy Island has received a funding boost from Japan's largest travel agency JTB.
Reef Restoration Foundation Chief Executive Officer Stewart Christie said JTB contributed $20,000 towards the project which aims to accelerate the recovery of damaged high-value reefs.
"Our not-for-profit social enterprise is excited to receive support from a company with an international reputation as a leader in the tourism sector so soon after the recent support provided by the National Australia Bank Foundation," he said.
JTB Australia Managing Director Masaya Kasahara said JTB understood the value of the Great Barrier Reef to Australia and the world.
"We want to be involved in taking positive action to protect this amazing asset for current and future generations and look forward to growing this partnership with Reef Restoration Foundation to benefit the Great Barrier Reef," he said.
Mr Christie said it was a great honour to meet JTB President and CEO Hiroyuki Takahashi
and Mr Kasahara who signed the partnership agreement in front of Tourism and Events Queensland CEO Leanne Coddington, Tourism Tropical North Queensland CEO Pip Close and Gold Coast Tourism Chairman Paul Donovan.
Ms Close said JTB's contribution demonstrated the high value the company placed on the natural assets their customers enjoyed.
The Reef Restoration Foundation established a pilot offshore coral nursery at Fitzroy Island in December 2017 after receiving the first permit from the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority (GBRMPA).
Mr Stewart said corals that survived recent bleaching events are grown on frames at the Fitzroy Island nursery to provide cuttings which can be transplanted on damaged reefs to accelerate their regeneration and strengthen resilience to future bleaching events.
"The method adopted by the Reef Restoration Foundation was developed in Florida Keys and the Caribbean where approximately 75,000 corals are grown and planted annually in offshore nurseries," he said.
"Our goal is to grow and plant coral in high-value tourism locations throughout the Great Barrier Reef to assist in securing the $6 billion in revenue that supports 69,000 jobs on the world's largest reef.
"Researchers from James Cook University's TropWATER and Reef Ecologic are monitoring the performance of the Fitzroy Island coral nursery with the support of funding from the Australian Government's National Environmental Science Program.
"The initial pilot project has been established with seed funding from Fitzroy Island Resort, the Association of Marine Park Tourism Operators (AMPTO), Gem Pearl and Cairns Dive Centre.
"We could not have undertaken this project without the support of our army of local volunteers and the Cairns Turtle Rehabilitation Centre.
"Citizens of the Great Barrier Reef is promoting the project as an example of tangible action that brings the community, tourism industry and corporate sector together to assist the Great Barrier Reef.
"The Reef Restoration Foundation's next step is to install 14 more coral trees across two sites at Fitzroy Island over the next couple of months.
"We will also work with GBRMPA and the tourism industry to identify more high-value reef sites where additional nurseries can be established.
"Coral reefs can take four to 10 years to regenerate naturally, but if we can replicate that process in nurseries across the Great Barrier Reef we can increase the speed of the regeneration process.
"The Reef Restoration Foundation is seeking additional corporate partners to assist in our goal to continue expanding the number of offshore coral nurseries in high value locations throughout the Great Barrier Reef."

Commission fines three car lighting system producers €27 million in cartel settlement
The European Commission has fined Automotive Lighting and Hella a total of €26 744 000 for participating in an automotive lighting cartel, in breach of EU antitrust rules. Valeo was not fined as it revealed the cartel to the Commission. All companies admitted their involvement and agreed to settle.
Commissioner Margrethe Vestager, in charge of competition policy, said: "The Commission has sanctioned another cartel in the automotive sector. Three lighting producers harmed car and commercial vehicle manufacturers by colluding instead of competing against each other. Today's decision underlines that we do not accept cartels that affect the European market."
Vehicle lighting systems include parts such as headlamps or daytime running lights. The cartel concerned the supply of these spare parts to manufacturers of passenger and commercial vehicles after the end of mass production of a car model. The Commission's investigation revealed that, for more than three years, Automotive Lighting, Hella and Valeo coordinated prices and other trading conditions for the supply of vehicle lighting systems, across the European Economic Area (EEA).
The three companies met, mainly bilaterally, at trade fairs, on the margins of supplier days organised by customers, during customer visits, but also independently of such events.
The companies discussed quotes for tenders and negotiation strategies and exchanged information on the status of negotiations with customers regarding price increases, as well as other information. Moreover, the parties agreed that they should aim for a price increase on spare parts after the end of mass production of specific car models, and coordinated how long after that they would end contractual availability of the spare parts in question.
The fines were set on the basis of the Commission's 2006 Guidelines on fines.
In setting the level of fines, the Commission took into account the companies' sales generated in the EEA from the supply of spare automotive lighting systems to the manufacturers of passenger and commercial vehicles after the end of mass production of a car model. The Commission also considered the serious nature of the infringement, its geographic scope and its duration.
Under the Commission's 2006 Leniency Notice:
- Valeo received full immunity for revealing the existence of the cartel, thereby avoiding a fine of more than €30,5 million.
- Automotive Lighting and Hella benefited from reductions of their fines for their cooperation with the investigation. The reductions reflect the timing of their cooperation and the extent to which the evidence they provided helped the Commission to prove the existence of the cartel.
In addition, under the Commission's 2008 Settlement Notice, the Commission applied a reduction of 10% to the fines imposed in view of the parties' acknowledgment of their participation in the cartel and of their liability in this respect.
The breakdown of the fines imposed on each company is as follows:
|Reduction under the Leniency Notice
|Reduction under the Settlement Notice
|Fine (€)
|100 %
|10 %
|Automotive Lighting
|35 %
|10 %
|16 347 000
|20 %
|10 %
|10 397 000
|26 744 000
Lighting systems include headlamps (with LED, xenon or halogen technology), daytime running lights (with LEDs or traditional bulbs), rear lights and high-mounted stop lamps (with LEDs or traditional bulbs), fog lights and auxiliary lights. They exclude electronic components such as lighting and signalling controllers and ballasts.
The investigation concerned the aftermarket segment for the supply of spare parts to original equipment manufacturer or their authorised service networks for passenger and commercial vehicles. The cartel relates solely to the original equipment spare parts market for car models whose production had ended.
Today's decision concerning lighting systems is part of a series of major investigations into suspected cartels in the automotive parts sector. The Commission has already fined suppliers of automotive bearings ,wire harnesses in cars, flexible foam used (inter alia) in car seats, parking heaters in cars and trucks, alternators and starters and air conditioning and engine cooling systems. More investigations are ongoing, for instance concerning occupant safety systems.
Procedural Background
Article 101 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU) and Article 53 of the EEA Agreement prohibit cartels and other restrictive business practices.
The Commission's investigation in this case started with an immunity application submitted by Valeo.
More information on this case will be available under the case number AT.40013 in the public case register on the Commission's competition website, once confidentiality issues have been resolved.
The settlement procedure
The settlement procedure for cartels was introduced in June 2008. In a settlement, parties acknowledge their participation in a cartel and their liability for it. Settlements are based on the Antitrust Regulation 1/2003 and allow the Commission to apply a simplified and shortened procedure. This benefits consumers and taxpayers as it reduces costs. It also benefits antitrust enforcement as it frees up resources to tackle other suspected cartels. Finally the parties themselves benefit in terms of quicker decisions and a 10% reduction in fines.
Action for damages
Any person or company affected by anti-competitive behaviour as described in this case may bring the matter before the courts of the Member States and seek damages. The case law of the Court and Council Regulation 1/2003 both confirm that in cases before national courts, a Commission decision constitutes binding proof that the behaviour took place and was illegal. Even though the Commission has fined the cartel participants concerned, damages may be awarded without being reduced on account of the Commission fine.
The Antitrust Damages Directive, which Member States had to transpose into their legal systems by 27 December 2016, makes it easier for victims of anti-competitive practices to obtain damages.

After a successful test, Kroger and Nuro said they are launching the first unmanned delivery service available to the general public.
Since August, the companies have operated a self-driving grocery delivery service in Scottsdale, AZ, with an autonomous Prius fleet accompanied by vehicle operators. The autonomous vehicles have completed nearly 1,000 deliveries to the general public, the company said.
With the expanded launch, the fleet is growing to include Nuro's custom unmanned vehicle known as the R1. The R1 travels on public roads and has no driver, no passengers and only transports goods. Nuro has been developing the R1 since 2016, and announced its partnership with Kroger in June.
The service will be available at the Fry's Food Store located at 7770 East McDowell Road, Scottsdale, AZ. Customers can place delivery orders immediately, for delivery seven days a week. Customers can shop via frysfood.com or the mobile app and place their order based on slot availability. Grocery orders can be scheduled for same-day or next-day delivery by Nuro's fleet of self-driving vehicles for a $5.95 flat fee with no minimum order.
"Kroger customers are looking for new, convenient ways to feed their families and purchase the products they need quickly through services like pickup and delivery," said Yael Cosset, Kroger's chief digital officer. "Our autonomous delivery pilot with Nuro over the past few months continues to prove the benefit of the flexible and reliable technology. Through this exciting and innovative partnership, we are delivering a great customer experience and advancing Kroger's commitment to redefine the grocery experience by creating an ecosystem that offers our customers anything, anytime, and anywhere."

(If this article speaks to you please share it on the social media boxes at the bottom of the page)
If you have even the slightest inclination to innovate you have to break the rules. You have to at times disregard the majority decisions and follow your own inner truth. If not, your ideas will die on the vine.
An executive vice president in a large financial institution told me that his leadership style was to "break glass". He thrived on devising original solutions that met business goals. Despite the fact that he did not conduct business as usual, the Board of Directors and his boss (the CEO) loved the results he produced with his team.
Rule breakers are rewarded by organizations if they get positive results. Otherwise there is "organ rejection" — they are told to conform or leave. In families that value conformity, rule breakers are sometimes marginalized and demonized. Conformity, particularly in a dysfunctional family or work system, can result in a slow death.
So, do you want to innovate and be creative? Yes?
By nature, you are not just a rebel for the sake of being a rebel. You have a drive to explore new territory in your field and make a contribution to your organization/society. Here are some things to avoid that will sustain you as you explore and express your creative impulses.
- Don't allow yourself to get squeezed into roles that are not you. Too often I find that people who want to be the architect of new strategies get trapped in tactical roles. This may work for a while but such people become bored and restless. They need to be in situations that play to their strengths.
- Don't allow the fear of what others think constrain your creativity. Innovative people have to resist internalizing the criticism of bosses or families (You want to do what?) and in turn inhibit themselves with self-limiting thoughts. Any idea worth its salt will be criticized anyway.
- Don't stay trapped in unproductive roles/jobs. Many innovative people leave constrictive work environments and either go off on their own or find other work situations that nurture creativity. There are many organizations that keep reinventing themselves in response to industry and customer needs. Find such a culture for yourself.
So go ahead, break the rules. Question authority. Remember, organizations that rest on their laurels for too long, now no longer exist. And people who are not willing to show flexibility of thought and action are trapped in dead end jobs or relationships.
If you have the impulse and talent to innovate and are restricted in your current role, "break glass"! (You won't be disappointed…)

A Song for you!!!
I really cannot say, how much I love you,
But I can say, my world is full of happiness,
Since the day that I met you.
I always needed a good friend, like you,
and now I feel about you that way.
I'll be with you till the end,
If you really let me to stay with you.
You may never understand,
How you've touched my Soul.
you've allowed me to experience,
Something I never meant to be in my life.
A girl like you can change,
A person's life to an eternal heaven.
Each and every single day,
You are close to me, more and more,
So… I feel the warmness of your heart,
But, someday, I may miss you so,
Though I don't have any intend to,
Let you go away.
By Manu Fernando.

Hi! I really like the concept of vassals, but in some cases it is really hard to control them. For example if I have 5 vassals and I want them to be in my alliance it is really hard to make it, or of I want to get provinces from them, I have to annex the vassal. So my idea is to have a ,, full control over vassals" kind of button in the scemario options menu (where u can set the difficulty) and it will make that the vassals get into everything. So they accept every offer of the lords don't matter how bad relation they have. I hope you like my idea, and thanks for an amazing game Lukas.

Searching mods and maps for latinoamerica, I realized that Latinoamerica is very forgotten in this community. For that reason, I going to make a map with scenarios of Venezuela.
1. USA Intervention: This would be a probably scenario where USA invade Venezuela from sea. Colombia will help.
2. Independence War: In this scenario, the people from Venezuela will fight the Spanish Empire.
3. States: All Venezuela states will fight for all the country.
4. Pre-Colombine: The indians tribes fight.
5. Civil War: The Civil War of the XIX century.
What do you think?
Actually I begun the development of the mod. I calculated 400 provinces for playing.

When do you want to choose closure or frontal to sew in or install, 13x6 frontal and 5x5 closure, which one would you like to buy? 13x6 frontal and 5x5 closure are both the wonderful accessory to close off a wig installation. Do you know how to choose between them? Is a 13x6 frontal better than the 5x5 closure? Or is the 5x5 closure better than a 13x6 frontal? This article will show the answer to you.
※ 13x6 frontal VS 5x5 closure, what are the differences?
※ Is 13x6 frontal or 5x5 closure better?
13x6 frontal VS 5x5 closure, what are the differences?
* From the size
What is a 13x6 frontal?
A 13x6 lace frontal is a lace frontal with a size of 13 inches length and 6 inches width. Similar to the 13x4 lace frontal, 13x4 and 13x6 frontal are both called the ear to ear lace frontal, the coverage area of the 13x6 lace closure is from one ear to another ear, it covers the half of the head and the entire hairline.
What is a 5x5 closure?
A 5x5 lace closure is a piece of human hair closure in which the size is 5 inches length and 5 inches width. The coverage area of a 5x5 hair closure is from temple to temple, human hair closure size is smaller than a 13x6 lace frontal closure and the 6x6 closure.
The closure 5x5 can be also called as the 5x5 lace frontal, but the 13x6 lace frontal can't be called the 13x6 lace closure.
* From the breathability
The 5x5 lace closure with bundles sew in human hair wigs and 13x6 frontal with bundles sew in human hair wigs are both soft for people's wearing. But the breathability is different. The high-quality lace has a great ability of breathability, so the bigger the lace size, the greater the breathability. That means the breathability of a 13x6 frontal wig will be better than a 5x5 closure wig.
* From the cost
Usually, the cost of a 13x6 pre plucked lace frontal will be a little higher than a 5x5 brazilian lace closure because of the size of the lace closure.
* From the human hair bundles needed
How many human hair bundles will be needed with a 13x6 frontal or a 5x5 closure for a full sew in?
The 13x6 frontal closure is a half of a wig, the 13x6 lace frontal install will cover half of your head. So the human hair weaves needed with a 13x6 lace frontal will be one less than a 5x5 closure sew-in.
* From the flexibility of the hairstyles

Such as wearing the 13x6 lace frontal sew in wigs, you can comb your hair back directly with a natural hairline, and you can even comb your hair to a beautiful high ponytail many girls love.

the water buffalo – by Shaun Tan
when I was a kid, there was a big water buffalo living in the vacant lot at the end of our street, the one with the grass no one ever mowed. He slept most of the time, and ignored everybody who walked past, unless we happened to stop and ask him for advice. Then he would come up to us slowly, raise his left hoof and literally point us in the right direction. But he never said what he was pointing at, or how far we had to go, or what we were supposed to do once we got there. In fact, he never said anything because water buffalos are like that; they hate talking.
This was too frustrating for most of us. By the time anyone thought to 'consult the buffalo', our problem was usually urgent and required a straightforward and immediate solution. Eventually we stopped visiting him altogether, and I think he went away some time after that: all we could see was long grass.
It's a shame, really, because whenever we had followed his pointy hoof we'd always been surprised, relieved and delighted at what we found. And every time we'd said exactly the same thing – 'How did he know?'
One of the stories in Tales From Outer Suburbia by Shaun Tan.
I'm reluctant to unpeel this story at all, to interpret, but I should say a little about what I see in it. One thing I like about these tales, like most of the stories Shaun Tan has created, along with his amazing art work, is the presence of the alien, the other, the unnoticed, almost-invisible other. There is a wisdom in that water buffalo, but we don't want it. In a sense it connects with The Three Princes of Serendip – all around there is information, insight, but we don't see it.
the arrival
I picked up this book in the library the other day. I already knew that Shaun Tan is good, but this stopped me in my tracks. I had a hundred other things to do, but they had to wait.
Here is a story of escape from tyrany and arrival in a new country made unfamiliar and new. And all told through pictures, through understatement, strangeness and detail.
Here are three of ts 128 pages:
Also wondrous: The Lost Thing
Now also as a short animation –
YUMMY: Eight Favorite Fairy Tales – Lucy Cousins is there!
2008 is worth a view too. I don't care whether it's the latest or not. I'd like to find the British or French equivalent though…
tales from outer suburbia
There can be cultural differences when you have someone from abroad to stay, as you can see in this story in 12 pictures by Shaun Tan.

Democracy in America
The biggest story of this election cycle is also the most clearly false. The so-called Tea Party movement is nothing but the co-opting of selfish scared people by Republican activists and funding. Any other depiction is based on wishful thinking by all parties enabled by the news media, who do have a point: Fat dorks in tricorner hats and Sansabelt knee breeches (white Rockports optional) are a compelling visual.
Thank you, good night, and God bless the United States of America, 'cause man, was that one messy sneeze.
Update 11/3: OK, Angle didn't make it, but substitute Club for Corporations stalwart Pat Toomey in the above.
4 comments:
- J. said...
Angle lost -- and it looks like Miller will lose, too. But the fact that these people got so many votes (ditto O'Donnell, who got over 123,000 votes) is scary enough.
- Kara said...
Rubio won. I didn't expect that one for some reason. And yes, the number of votes for some of the various folks is a bit scary.
I can't help but notice that, if it hadn't been for the Tea Party crowd, the Republicans would be riding a truly historical election that would have taken the Senate as well as the House. If they hadn't managed to find the one person in Nevada that would lose to Reid, to take out the one Republican in Delaware that would win handily, and to put up other batsh*t crazy loons in Connecticut and Colorado, they wouldn't even have needed Lieberman to do a hypocritical switch in time.
Well done, there. The Republican agenda is going to be interesting - fiscal conservatism, protect defense spending, Medicare and Medicaid, privatize social security and tax cuts for all (but most especially for the wealthy). I can't be the only person to notice that this is an incoherent policy combination.
John C.
And one final note: in Boehner's acceptance speech, he was quick to essentially say "well, nothing is going to be our fault anyway since the President sets the agenda." Remember 2008, when nothing was the Republicans' fault because the Democrats controlled the House? At least this combination is merely sleazy and hypocritical rather than incoherent.
This is a particularly Olbermann like Rant from Dave S. Or maybe maddow. I am at trial. Cannot fully comment but when your policies drive red ink and also maintain high unemployment you have to suffer the consequences. Pat Toomey is a terrific conservative. He is neither nutty nor unprincipled. The tea party provided the energy for this election and probably lost the seats of Nevada and Delaware for the Republicans but the gains everywhere else would have been impossible without these folks. You can only think them crazy if the American Founding and a limited Federal Government is now deemed crazy. Perhaps by Jon Stewart and the terrorist supporter he had sing at his rally but not by the vast majority of the American people. Also, any suggestion that the media is pro-Tea Party can only be greeted by calls of mood modifying drugs being applied to the suggestor.

Speaker: Michael Carley, Safety and Risk, Villa Maria Catholic Homes
Safety and the aged care sector
In July we were lucky once again to have a speaker who is so obviously passionate about the work they do to make a real difference in health and safety. Michael Carley has been working with Villa Maria Catholic Homes (VMCH) for just over a year, so he freely admits that there is still a long way to go to improve their safe systems of work -many of us can identify with that! However, the progress made so far inspires him to continue in what he described as a very fufilling sector in which to work.
Aged care is a growth industry, but it also presents many challenges. The most common risks that he outlined have also come to light during the current Royal Commission into the sector, so it was a very timely presentation.
Michael noted that residents are coming in at later stages of life when they need a higher level of care. Another challenge is that the average age of the workforce is 55 and comes from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds.
The greatest risks arise from inadequate training and competency, but Michael's main message was to "be courageous in addressing risks", which includes thinking laterally about how to address them. He outlined a number of innovative solutions he and VMCH have made to date and he looks forward to continue making improvements.

Bamboo Maracas are a simple instrument, but require modest skill to play in time to music. When the player changes the direction of motion to produce the sound, the seeds or dried beans must travel some distance before they hit the hard outer surface. This creates a slight delay that requires that the player anticipate the rhythm. Players also strike maracas against their hand or leg to get a different sound. They can be played in pairs or singular depending on the rhythm or sound required. The larger the maraca, the deeper the sound.
They come in a Single Round head or Double Egg Shape head with a handle.

Photographic Evidence Establishing Just Verdicts In The Courtroom
By Benjamin J. Cantor, J.D.
While Justice is sometimes pictured blindfolded, photographic evidence is one of the most effective means of piercing the mask of doubt when preparing a legal court case. Photography is extremely valuable in assuring that justice prevails in our courts.
Although nearly 90 percent of all evidence presented in court trials is verbal, it is also the most unsatisfactory type of evidence. People lie, forget, and exaggerate; their hearing or eyesight may be impaired, or they may possess prejudices that affect their perceptions of how things happened.
Oral testimony is not only less reliable than other forms of documentation, but it is also fleeting--lasting only as long as the individual jurors' memories. On the other hand, photographic evidence usually remains before the jury from its introduction to the end of the trial. And it is often present in the jury-room while verdict deliberations are taking place.
Continuous Testimony
A photograph continues to "testify" from the moment it is put into evidence until the verdict is rendered. Jurors who may not have listened closely to all the verbal testimony--due to distractions or witnesses lowering their voices--have a second chance to review the case when photographic evidence is available.
Visual material is superior to the spoken word for communicating ideas, information, or descriptions. As early as about 400 B.C., the warping effect of time upon human memory was noted by Greek historian, Thucydides. Confusion and uncertainty, he noted, arise "... from the want of coincidence between accounts of the same occurrences by different eyewitnesses; arising sometimes from imperfect memory, and sometimes from undue partiality for one side or the other."
Using legal photography, it's possible to bring whole accounts of historical facts into the courtroom. It could be fairly said that the photograph has been the most significant contribution to the fact-finding process since the emergence of the testimonial witness.
Today's ubiquitous television and video productions have made Americans a truly visually oriented people. Regardless of language differences or degree of literacy, most persons can understand a picture or drawing; hence, visuals can be regarded as a "universal language."
The paramount value of pictures lies in their ability to offer graphic credibility and convincing proof of facts in search of truth, which should be the ultimate goal of all litigation.

Today's card is from the Gaian Tarot by Joanna Powell Colbert.
This card is all about finding joy within. It is independent of what is going on in the outside world. This can be a difficult thing to do sometimes, especially when things are difficult. After yesterday's card, I am interpreting this card to be a reminder to find a way to find some light in your life…to find some sort of an outlet. When going through transition times, it is especially important to look for small pleasures in order to keep from sliding into too much negativity. The Explorer of Water is all about creative expression, play, and activities such as meditation, yoga, tai chi, or qi gong which promote inner peace.

Essential Information
Students learn the practice of using computers and computer software to design real or virtual objects. CAD is used in industries like automotive, aerospace, ship building, architecture and prosthesis. CAD programs are also responsible for most 3D animation seen in movies or special effects. Programs often focus on teaching students clarity, completeness and accuracy of drawings and plans. Related programs and material may exist as part of drafting or animation degree programs. Sometimes, these programs are parts of larger degree programs in related fields like animation, architecture or drafting. CAD programs require a GED or high school diploma for admission and usually take between 1-10 classes. Courses may be offered online but might require students to purchase special software.
CAD Certification
Even small, common items are now engineered using computers; as such, CAD is important to a number of academic and professional fields. A key advantage of CAD is that, in addition to traditional lines and shapes, designs made through this process can also indicate information like material, tolerances, dimensions or chemical properties. Designers using this system can design flat and curved surfaces in both two and three dimensions. Students can expect to spend time learning in traditional lectures and in a laboratory format. Here are some classes you can expect to see in the CAD certificate programs:
- 3D modeling
- CAD management
- Parametric modeling
- Design visualization
- Technical drawing
Employment Outlook and Salary Information
Although most programs note the increasing use of CAD programs in design and engineering, the overall employment rate for drafters is expected to show little or no change when compared to the national average between 2018 and 2028, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (www.bls.gov). Mechanical drafting uses for CAD skills are expected to decline about 7% over the same 10-year period, due to the increasing use of CAD skills by engineers.
The median salary for architectural and civil drafters was $56,340 per year in May 2019. Mechanical drafters made a median salary of $57,060, and electrical and electronic drafters earned a median salary of $61,530.
Certification and Continuing Education
The only certification available in this field is AutoCAD certification, which is a certification for a particular CAD software application by the same name developed by Autodesk, Inc. Certification can be pursued online through the Autodesk Online Testing center. The cost for certification is often reimbursed by a participant's employer, which can be set up in the online testing center.
Anyone with a high school diploma or GED can earn their CAD certificate. This requires enrolling in a certification program, which can prepare students to utilize their skills in a variety of industries.

Demand for SUVs is finally slowing down
New figures from JATO Dynamics suggest a surprising trend. After years of rapid growth, demand for SUVs is slowing down.
SUV sales grew by 0.7 percent in June, with 556,400 shifted in Europe. While that's still an increase – and indeed the third-highest month ever in terms of units sold – the rate of growth for the segment has slowed.
The bulk of the slowdown can be attributed to a five percent drop in the popularity of large premium SUVs. Mercedes-Benz, Volvo and Land Rover saw double-digit drops in popularity of premium SUV models.
Perhaps more curious is the drop in popularity of crossover SUVs such as the Nissan Qashqai, Volkswagen Tiguan and Peugeot 3008. Sales of the Nissan were down 15 percent, while the Volkswagen and Peugeot dropped 18 percent.
Slowdown catching up with SUVs
Felipe Munoz, JATO's global analyst, believes there are a couple of reasons for the slowdown of SUVs.
"Although it was still the third-highest month ever for sales in the segment (behind March 2018 and March 2019), there are two factors that explain the limited growth," says Munoz.
"The first is that the poor conditions of the wider market are finally impacting SUVs, which are usually more expensive than regular car types. The second, which is more concerning, is that SUV demand may be peaking after many years of growth."
Logically speaking, what climbs must eventually plateau. Demand increase cannot be exponential. With the contraction of the market as a whole, it's only logical to expect that even the strongest performers will eventually feel the burn.
As for the rest of the car market? It's business as usual. Diesel takes a tumble yet again, with a 21 percent drop in registrations in June for a 31 percent market share. Electric car popularity is growing, with a 20 percent increase in demand.
EVs remain a minority, however, making up just 7.5 percent of all cars sold.

Molly Mullins reports on a talk by Michael Scheeringa of Signature Flight Support, which operates 103 fixed base operations around the world. At the today's Wichita Aero Club meeting, Scheeringa reassured her that "It's a very resilient industry." She blogs, "The good news is that the market has begun to recover, although recovery has been muted.
"But Fortune 200 companies are flying as much today as they did in 2008, he said. It's the small business owners who are not using business aviation as much."
That sounds like good news, but we need to see the orders before we know the rebound is truely here. Wichita needs a business jet revival.
Furthermore, she relates his judgement that "The political climate has caused uncertainty in the tax structure of smaller businesses. And that leads to uncertainty about income and generates a lack of confidence." Moreover, "That lack of confidence impacts the business aviation industry in Wichita and elsewhere."
Which brings us to the mid-term elections. The pundits are predicting big Republican gains, perhaps recapturing the House, picking up a half dozen Senate seats, and assorted governorships and state ledgislative seats. The latter is especially important given the redistricting that follows the decinimal census.
The economy hit bottom in June, 2009, but the unemployment rate is actually above where it was at the trough. Economic growth ahs resumed, but Americans are still mired in misery.
Comes November 2nd, the President will be blamed.
But is it just?
President Obama campaigned on the need to fix the economy. That created expectations among the voters. Not surprisingly, the voters wanted those expectations to be met.
What happened?
The nation's economic problems were essentially long term in nature (huge and chronic trade imbalances, lack of domestic saving, misallocated resources from the credit boom.) Yet the President focused on short term solutions: fiscal stimulus. Worse, he delegated the job of designing the solution to Congress.
Then, with the economy being far from fixed, the President switched his priority to changing the health care system and its financing. Reallocating resources for a sector equivalent to 17% of the whole economy (four times the size of the auto industry) predictably set off a debilitating dog fight between the winners and the losers. To make matters worse, the President delegated the design to Congress. Will Rodgers once predicted that "no one's wallet is safe when congress is in session."
If voters are angry with the President's economic policies, their anger is understandable.
After they express that anger on November 2nd, the President should address the source of that anger and ask the American people for a second chance. He should warn them that our problems are long term and there are no quick fixes. We must realistically face America's secular economic decline before it is too late and put forth the painful policies that will reverse our strategic decline. The tea party activists who are focusing on the size of the federal deficits have unwittingly brought to fore a very real problem. The U.S. can only use deficits to attack weakness of demand if the dollar remains the world's reserve currency. And the more it uses the deficits to stimulate the economy the closer we are to losing the dollar's reserve status. When foreigners stop taking our dollars, our options close and we start looking more like Greece and Spain.
Moreover, without significant policy changes there is a very real threat in the medium term. The perceived erosion of the rule of law (think of the treatment of GM's bondholders), the costs of the healthcare system reengineering, and the prospect of tax hikes if the Bush tax cuts expire have eerily recreated the conditions of 1936. These set the stage for the Roosevelt recession of 1937. We avoided the financial collapse that trasformed the recession of 1929 into the Great Depression. Now we have recreated the conditions for the 1937 recession, a recession whose severity was exceeded only by the contractions of 1929-33 and 1920.
President Obama should take advantage of his party's upcoming defeat to embark on a new program of economic leadership.
