Ingolstadt/Kaluga, 2014-05-22
The Audi site in Kaluga
In April 2013, Audi opened a semi-knocked-down (SKD) production facility in Kaluga, Russia. Employees of Volkswagen Group Russia assemble the Audi A6*, Audi A7* and Audi A8 L* business sedans, as well as the Audi Q5* and Audi Q7* SUVs for Audi in Kaluga. The SKD process entails automobiles being completely assembled to start with at the main Audi plants. They are then transported to a VW Commercial Vehicles site in Wedemark, Germany, where they are disassembled and packaged as assembly kits, which in turn are shipped to Kaluga.
* The fuel consumption and emissions values of all models mentioned in the text and of all models available on the German market are listed in the last chapter of this basic information.
Russia is an important strategic growth market for Audi. Audi opened its SKD facility there to meet the rising demand in Russia: In 2013, Audi sold 36,150 of its models in Russia – which equates to a year-on-year growth of 7.9 percent (2012: 33,512 models). And Audi sees considerable potential for the future in this market, too. Audi Q models are especially sought after in the vast expanses of Russia.
The Volkswagen plant in Kaluga is some 170 kilometers (106 miles) southwest of Moscow. VW and Škoda models have been assembled in Kaluga since 2007. Volvo, Renault, the PSA Group (Peugeot and Citroën) and Mitsubishi also have production sites in Kaluga.

"Coal on a Roll" - in depth from onearth.org
Permalink +Thu, Sep 01, 2011, 2:46 pm // John Servais
A longish article, but with good information for us here in Whatcom County. As we face the looming reality of the Cherry Point Coal Terminal, we would do well to learn what the forces are that are imposing this on us. And let us not fool ourselves on two issues: It is a coal port and the fix is in. None of this 'general cargo terminal' lie and none of this make-believe that the government agencies still need to approve the permits. The fix is in - from the governor to our two U.S. senators to the agencies they control - all of them.
But still, we can learn, and this article is good for looking at the larger picture. George Black traveled to the places and interviewed people and did some research. www.onearth.org is a website of the Natural Resources Defense Council, an environmental group. It is based in New York. Funny they can have a guy do more traveling in our Washington state than any of our journalists. But then they don't have pressure from local advertisers.
Coal on a Roll, by George Black on the website onearth.org

That's not the route a Bellingham bound train wiould take, any in depth map would show the correct route to Cherry Point, I'm positive even Warren would tell you that free information.
John Servais // Sat, Sep 03, 2011, 12:36 pm
That is the map used in the article - and that is why it is used to illustrate this short review and link to the article. That should be plain enough.
I was in Missoula this summer and saw the coal trains pass through on their way to Roberts Bank - per the route on this map. The rail through Missoula is leased by BNSF. There are probably more routes that are used. I hope to be posting more on this soon.
Regardless, I still think the coal trains for Cherry Point will come across Canada, cross over at Sumas and ride on new tracks to Custer. Lynden will be blindsided. See my March 25 article.
David Camp // Tue, Sep 06, 2011, 10:15 am
Despite your apparent capitulation to the "looming reality of the Cherry Point Coal Terminal" because "the fix is in", others here in our green county beg to differ. No doubt George III believed in the "looming reality" of his victory over an army of hemp-clothed colonial volunteers, as did the CIA in the continuing usefulness of its asset in North Africa, Colonel Ghaddaffi. To quote Robbie Burns: "The best laid plans of mice and men oft gang aglay".
The traitors who run our national economy for their own benefit and that of foreign rivals, with whom they are in league (Goldman Sachs on Chairman Mao's payroll - and our own local unions corrupted by the same greedy moral degenerates!), are few in number and easily identifiable. Thanks to the increasing concentration of wealth and power that globalization engenders, the economic elite is both richer and smaller in number. Soon enough they will feel the wrath of the American middle class that they continue to sell out to Communist Chinese interests.
John Servais // Tue, Sep 06, 2011, 11:18 am
David - nowhere did I capitulate. Funny how you read that in. The fix is in - and we do need to learn much more about this. Right now we are thrashing blindly about in anger - and that will not do us any good.
Dan Pike reversing himself for pure political reasons and saying he is against the project is a blind lashing out. If reelected, he will probably forget his opposition the day after the election - as he did for most of his promises 4 years ago. And, his lashing out at the coal trains is just dumb as trains go where they want. He worked on transportation policies for the state before being elected and he well knows the emptiness of his ranting against trains.
The one person doing the most is Bob Ferris of Re-Sources. He is combining opposition with education. He should be supported by all. But we have lots of people and organizations that want to be seen as political heros and will try to take the spotlight - with vague and meaningless rants.
We need to learn more. Our elected officials can ask questions - but so far they have not. When I ask them as individuals why not - they say that the railroads, SSA, the regulators, our governor, our two senators, and Goldman Sachs do not have to give answers. Well, to me, that is no reason for not asking the questions.
If we as a county wide community actually try to learn what is planned and to seek to stop it if it is onerous, then we could do it. But we seem to not have the leaders who will seek the answers for us. You or I can post questions and they will never be answered. But if county council members ask and repeatedly ask questions in this election season, then some answers might come forward.
Right now we know little of what we might object to. And that is the way the powers want to keep it. First we need to learn. Then we can decide whether or not to oppose. Right now, the fix is in - and we peasants are not expected to know how to do anything meaningful about it. Hard truth, but the truth.
David Camp // Wed, Sep 07, 2011, 5:50 am
I admit to having read a certain fatalistic acceptance of the fix that's in in your post. Glad you've not given up hope. This Coal project is of global scope - the SSA-Cherry Point project is a small component of many comprising it. And its proponents have so far done a good job of keeping opposition fragmented and local. And of co-opting local worthies to divide and conquer, exploiting the social divisions carefully maintained by the money elite: "conservative" v. "librul"; county v. B'ham; green v. jobs. (It seems to me that we have an elite that maintains power by a combination of racketeering and brainwashing and dominionist ideology - putting up hired hand "leaders" to maintain the illusion of democracy. e.g. our Empty Suit of an Emperor.).
And they use deception as a matter of habit. Consider the BS statement "the trains will come through B'ham anyway and the coal will be shipped through Canadian ports". True only for the very small capacity at ROberts Bank (Tswawassen, BC) - even if its planned expansion goes through, it will be for only a small fraction of the capacity proposed for Cherry Point. So yes coal trains will come through town- only not 40 per day, but rather only 10 or so (compared to the current 4).
I'm looking forward to the candidates' responses to this question in the October edition of Whatcom Watch.
John Servais // Wed, Sep 07, 2011, 8:39 am
I agree with you, David.
Except for waiting for possible answers in the October Whatcom Watch. That is how we lose - by going with the routine practices of Democracy.
Instead, we need many of our elected officials and candidates to publicly ask the hard questions now - and keep asking them. We need to put Senators Murray and Cantwell on the spot. We need to put the Governor on the spot. We need even those candidates who think this coal port is a good idea to ask hard questions.
But we won't see that. The fix is in. We will see knowingly empty rhetoric and excuses. And a few years from now we will listen to these same people say they would have been against this coal port if only they had known. It is how it works. We need some real leadership in our community. So far, I do not see any individual willing to take up that vacant position. Kremen and Pike have certainly never gone near such a position. Will Linville or Louws? Will Tony or Barry or Seth or Christie?

[en] security constrained optimal power flow ; reactive power reserves ; voltage stability | |
[en] This paper proposes a two-step approach to evaluate reactive power reserves with respect to operating constraints and voltage stability for a set of postulated operating scenarios.
The first step determines the minimum overall needed reactive power reserves of generators such that the system withstands, from a static viewpoint, any postulated scenario. This problem is formulated as a security constrained optimal power flow (SCOPF) which includes operating constraints relative to all postulated scenarios. Particular attention is paid to the techniques aimed to reduce the large size of the SCOPF problem. The second step determines additional reserves to ensure voltage stability of scenarios for which, when modeling dynamic system behaviour, the reserves obtained by SCOPF are insufficient. These reserves are computed using a heuristic technique which relies on dynamic simulation. Numerical results on four test systems of 60, 118, 618, and 1203 buses support the interest of the approach. | |

Mzero, the software division of Meridian, today released version 8 of their self-service software line that the company said gives developers the foundation to build secure, managed applications controlled by a robust platform, allowing clients more flexibility and increasing speed to market.
Until now, the software was only available as part of a turnkey solution that included hardware, software platform and application, the announcement said.
"Version 8 takes our software to a new level," said Mzero Software Director Paul Burden. "We've added new interfaces that make it easier to build self-service applications with emerging technologies. It also enables current self-service solutions to add our management capabilities to their existing deployments — giving them unparalleled control, analytics and security, offering savings in support costs as well as increasing the reliability of the solution."
The software packages are now available in three bundles:

Parameters | connection | the connection (type: OpenSSL.SSL.Connection ) |
hostname | the server's host name |
Parameters | connection | the connection (type: OpenSSL.SSL.Connection ) |
hostname | the server's host name |
This is provided to allow us to use the partially-broken
IDNA implementation in the standard library if the more-correct idna package is
not available; service_identity
is somewhat stricter about

Returns | The domain name's IDNA representation, encoded as bytes. (type: bytes ) |
This is to provide something in the way of hostname verification
to users who haven't upgraded past OpenSSL 0.12 or installed
. This check is overly strict, relies on a
deprecated TLS feature (you're supposed to ignore the commonName if the
subjectAlternativeName extensions are present, I believe), and lots of
valid certificates will fail.

If so, use it. If not, use simplistic and incorrect checking as
implemented in simpleVerifyHostname
.Parameters | lib | The OpenSSL module. This is necessary to determine whether
certain fallback implementation strategies will be necessary. (type: types.ModuleType ) |
Returns | 2-tuple of (verify_hostname , VerificationError ) (type: tuple ) |
and Certificate.hostFromTransport
which checks for incompatible handle types and null certificates and raises
the appropriate exception or returns the appropriate certificate
for pyOpenSSL so that if something
goes wrong the error is immediately logged and the connection is dropped if
This wrapper exists because some versions of pyOpenSSL don't handle errors from callbacks at all, and those which do write tracebacks directly to stderr rather than to a supplied logging system. This reports unexpected errors to the Twisted logging system.
Also, this terminates the connection immediately if possible because if you've got bugs in your verification logic it's much safer to just give up.

method | An OpenSSL method like SSL.TLSv1_METHOD used for determining
the effective ciphers. | |
options | OpenSSL options like SSL.OP_NO_SSLv3 ORed together. (type: int ) | |
Returns | The effective list of explicit ciphers that results from the arguments on

Woo hoo!! Over the top!! Thank you all very much!! [FReepathon Thread]
Nice, one copy sold
Link to the accompanying video on You Tube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=GaYvsbQRT6s
Whoops, sorry about the title, any way to change that?
That's a pretty safe assumption....
Yeah, sorry about that, it's on old list. I posted in haste after I saw this. My apologies for not doing my due diligence
Ok, you make a good point, but I would counter that with this:
The point of welfare is not to spend your money like an idiot until it all runs dry and you get the next month's check. The point of welfare is to help out when you are in a temporary slump. Yet when people go around blowing their government hand-outs on Lobster and Steak, how will they ever pull out of the slump? They won't. They'll stay poor and on food stamps. It's a way of life for them. They will remain in the system and suck up more and more tax payer dollars, instead of doing the right thing by using the money wisely to get themselves out of a bad situation.
So I guess in the short term these situations don't hurt the tax payers in the short term. However, over the long term it does; because these people remain in the system, spending money like morons and still expecting more....
but then again, these leeches have no intention of changing, so maybe it really doesn't affect tax payers any more than it already did.
Oops, didn't mean to post twice.
Sorry about the poor article formating.
I don't use facebook, but I had my wife like this page. I love this idea! Even if nothing comes of it.
My Wife and I are going grocery shopping tomorrow. I have already written out my sticky notes.
I'll have to stick around to see the look on the faces of the people that find them.

Key events were the importation of contaminated heparin supplied from a Chinese facility (see sidebar, "Post-Heparin: Baxter Responds") and incidents of melamine in food and pet food products and diethylene glycol in toothpaste from China (1-4). In September 2008, the US Food and Drug Administration issued warning letters and an import alert for products made at two facilities of Ranbaxy Laboratories (Gurgaon, Haryana), one of India's largest pharmaceut ical companies, for deviations in current good manufacturing practices (5). And recent terrorist attacks in Mumbai, India's capital, raised security concerns.
Assessing Asia's role
Other Asian countries are gaining a foothold as viable pharmaceutical outsourcing contenders. Korea and Taiwan are just a few steps behind China and India, says Keech, and will soon be followed by Indonesia and Malaysia. Much farther down on the list of ideal outsourcing candidates is Thailand, which "looks interesting from a labor perspective and because of their worldclass set of intellectual property laws," says Keech, but whose "interpretation and enforcement are far from ideal."
Ingredients InsiderCynthia ChallenerFDA Approves Novel Treatments in 2014
Better equipment and automated processes will be key. So, too, will the right way of approaching outsourcing relationships.
Data sharing and a common data model can improve CRO partnerships and trial results.
As CMOs shed their old toll processing role, sponsors can expect the right questions, proactive communication, and a firm grasp of risk management and tech transfer from contract service providers.

I bought this for my boyfriend for Christmas along with a Jack Black trio kit, and he loves it! The product smells great, not too over powering. I also recommend the cleanser from this brand too. Definitely recommend for the non outgoing guy who doesn't like trying new things. He will love it!
5This may be marketed for men, but it works for everyone. I have been using Supreme Cream for a year now, and I honestly think it gives me a closer shave. My legs always feel super smooth after I shave, and I don't get many ingrown hairs or razor burn anymore. This jar can last a pretty long time depending on how you use it. I used one jar on my legs for almost a year. I'd say it's well worth the money. Also, a little of this cream goes a long way. It's really thick, but when it hits wet skin, it thins out and coats a fairly large surface. The only thing it doesn't do is help your skin retain moisture. I'd still follow with an aftershave or moisturizer.
4I have been using Jack Black products for over a year and I firmly believe they are the best shaving products on the market (New York Shave company, l'occitane, etc. ). I shave about 2-3 times a week and my container of lather has lasted for over a year. Highly recommend trying this product

My friend Diarmuid, who works in AOL's Dublin office was telling his four year-old daughter about Brian's arm the other day, and she wanted to make him a get well video. Diarmuid finally put it up on Bebo, so now I can show it to you. His daughter may be the cutest thing ever:

Thanks, Juliette! Brian loved the video, and he's going to make one for you as soon as he's feeling better (and we can put a shirt on him over his cast)!

OMG, that's adorable. She's adorable! What a sweet thing to do.
Oh my goodness, Paul Simon would be proud. Then he would fall out of his chair laughing and saying, "Oooooh, she soooo cute." Thanks for sharing that with the rest of us. Can't wait to see Brian's video response.

NEW YORK — Squeezed into tighter and tighter spaces, airline passengers appear to be rebelling, taking their frustrations out on other fliers.
Three U.S. flights made unscheduled landings in the past eight days after passengers got into fights over the ability to recline their seats. Disputes over a tiny bit of personal space might seem petty, but for passengers whose knees are already banging into tray tables, every inch counts.
NEW YORK — The frightful images of a sinking Italian cruise ship have scared off some cruise passengers, at least temporarily, during the industry's peak booking season.
Travel agents — who book more than two-thirds of cruise passengers worldwide — have been nervously watching bookings ever since the Costa Concordia, which is owned by Carnival Corp, ran aground on Jan. 13.

text: Notorious prison still exists in Iraq, rights group reportsBy the CNN Wire StaffUpdated 7:36 PM ET, Tue May 15, 2012Story highlightsHuman Rights Watch says Camp Honor is still openIt accuses the government of making mass arrestsThe Iraqi government denies the allegationsThe report comes just months after the United States withdrew from the Middle Eastern countryA notorious prison in Baghdad's Green Zone is still open despite the Iraqi government having said more than a year ago it was closed, Human Rights Watch said on Tuesday.The report about the Camp Honor prison facility, which is in the highly fortified area of the city's center, also detailed evidence of mass arrests. The Iraqi government denied the allegations."Iraqi security forces are grabbing people outside of the law, without trial or known charges, and hiding them away in incommunicado sites," said Joe Stork, Human Rights Watch's deputy Middle East director."The Iraqi government should immediately reveal the names and locations of all the detainees, promptly free those not charged with crimes, and bring those facing charges before an independent judicial authority," he said.Human Rights Watch: Iraq getting worseThe report comes just months after the United States withdrew troops from the Middle Eastern country at the end of 2011.Human Rights Watch identified two main waves of detentions -- in October and November and the again in March ahead of the Arab League summit in Baghdad.The New York-based rights group reported last year that detainees at Camp Honor were held in inhumane conditions and tortured. Legislators visited the site in response to that report, and in March 2011 the government announced it had closed the prison, Human Rights Watch said.According to Iraqi government officials, it remains closed."There is no secret prison in Iraq ... All Iraq's prison and detention centers across the country are subject to inspections at any time by the Ministry of Human Rights," said Ali al-Moussawi, an adviser to Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki.Human Rights Ministry spokesman Kamel Ameen said an inspection team from the ministry visited what was Camp Honor less than two weeks ago and found nothing but an abandoned building.He also denied the reports of mass arrests, stressing that security forces cannot make arrests without the proper warrants.Human Rights Watch said it interviewed more than 35 former detainees, family members, lawyers, legislators and government officials to compile its report. All asked to remain anonymous."It's a matter of grave concern that Iraqis in so many walks of life, officials included, are afraid for their own well-being and fear great harm if they discuss allegations of serious human rights abuses," said Stork.More from middleeastIraqi forces push toward Tikrit as they seek to dislodge ISISWhat Iranians think of Benjamin Netanyahu's speech to CongressBenjamin Netanyahu Fast FactsPowered by Livefyre

I've traveled all the way to Poland specifically to check out one of the world's most unique hotels. Half luxury accommodation, half art installation, Blow Up Hall 5050 is the singular vision of Poland's richest woman. As soon as you step into the lobby, you become part of a giant digital artwork that sets the tone for a strange and wonderful luxury experience. Your door key is an iPhone, there's no room numbers, cameras and screens constantly capture, chop up and spit out your image as you walk through disorienting hallways, and no two rooms are the same. It's quite an experience ... if you can get past the square toilets. Read More
Fabricated shells lend hermit crabs a sense of identity
About this time two years ago, we looked at the efforts of Miles Lightwood and the Thingiverse community to 3D print shells for hermit crabs, but Tokyo-born artist Aki Inomata has been creating artificial shells for hermit crabs since 2009. Her most recent efforts are intricate and ornate, incorporating ideas on the theme of national identity through depictions of city skylines and vernacular architecture. The hermit crabs seem to like them too. Read More
It's not unusual to see a project that straddles the worlds of art and architecture, but this piece by Alex Chinneck, wonderfully titled From the knees of my nose to the belly of my toes, is surely a stand-out. I'm not sure which is the most eye-catching feature of this bizarre refurbishing of a four-story house: the curving brick facade that seems to have slipped down onto the ground, or the gaping cavity exposing the innards of the top floor as the notional result of said slide.

Swiss 3D Print recently revealed its own device, called the SwissPen, that sketches wire sculptures in mid-air using heated plastic filaments. Read More

The Karmic Tools Weekly Forecast covers the current planetary transits which affect people in different ways and to various degrees of intensity.
This energy is going to help you further organize your life, mainly your home, office or immediate environment. Others may see you as a hard worker, but really you are only doing what you feel must be done at this time.
The Capricorn ~Super~ Full Moon (6/23) is the Annual opportunity to release that which you no longer want to be part of your reality or responsibility.
This is the Mid-Point in the year, bringing another turn of the Wheel, the peak power of the Light before it surrenders, moving toward true completion of that which was seeded at *Winter* Solstice. Solstices, permanently opposite each other, eternally balancing & re-balancing ...
The Sun in Cancer (6/21 - 7/22) *Illuminates & Infuses* your Internal/Inner Emotional Nature, connecting you to Source Energy and activating the *Annual* Check-In with your gut-level feelings.
This energy gives you the original ideas that will fuel new action steps in your personal life. Beware of any urge to change for the sake of change.
Okay, on top of all the responsibility and career things being triggered this week, love relationships want in on the action. This energy intensifies experiences where love or close relationships are concerned. Beware of indiscretions.
The Gemini New Moon (6/8), which will usher in major revelations from the last 3-years (2010-2013). Again, this is special as it is the "first" New Moon *Initiation* post-Eclipses.
The Karmic Tools Weekly Forecast covers the current planetary transits which affect people in different ways and to various degrees of intensity. Take notice when it is a Personal planet (Sun / Moon / Mercury / Venus / Mars) interacting with a Social (Jupiter/Saturn) or Collective planet (Uranus / Neptune/Pluto). And pa
