Classic Car Watch
A Six-Banger for Inspiration
August 1, 2007
By Scott Lewis
In keeping with my recent trend to keep this list short and current, I came across a six cylinder Plymouth that inspired me to look for other six-bangers. Unfortunately, that was an elusive thing. I tried a little, but in the end I found myself seeing a few affordable Mustangs. So this month's list is short, and even goes off topic.
1971 Plymouth Scamp - $8,900
Description: 2-Door Hardtop in original Sassy Grass Green with the
original white vinyl top, original white interior, and factory Rallye
wheels. Extremely nice, factory original paint. Florida car with only 68,115
actual miles! The
original 225 cubic inch Slant Six engine is completely stock and has no
modifications. The
original 3-speed automatic transmission shifts perfectly and the
original 3.23 rearend provides economical highway cruising. Power
steering, power brakes, factory air conditioning blows ice cold (but has a leaking hose).
All factory original body panels and I can find no body filler or
patches anywhere.

Comments: I love oddball original cars with low mileage. The only reason I don't ask my wife if I can buy this car is the color. Well, that and I don't have the cash right now. That is one bright green. Otherwise this is a great daily driver classic.
1967 Dodge Dart GT Convertible - $11,500
Description: Slant-6 engine, automatic trans, factory air
conditioning, power steering, power top, AM radio - Super Straight &
Solid Body - Runs & Drives Very Well - Quality Paint & Clean Interior -
Ideal Classic For First Car!
Source: Classic & Collectible Cars
Found: 7/23/2007
Comments: Wow! Practically the same as above but in convertible form. I was really stunned to see the A/C on this 6 cylinder car. Plus it is in my favorite color. I already have a convertible, but if I was get a classic as a occasional driver I would definitely go for this car. And what a bargain.
1965 Ford Mustang - $14,500
Description: Shelby Fastback Replica, was 6 cylinders, now 302, auto,
blue w/gold Hertz stripes, needs some finishing, a driver.
Source: Collector Car Trader
Found: 3/12/2007
Comments: I found this fastback when looking for 6 cylinder cars. O.K. SO it used to have a 6 banger. I was impressed by the price. I don't like the color of the stripes, but it is a fastback that is below my usual $15K budget. Plus this car is located in Texas, so I need an excuse to list it.
1965 Ford Mustang - $10,995
Description: A rare factory A code car with factory air conditioning.
All original body panels. Extremely well preserved body. Recently
rebuilt engine. Style steel wheels. Very good condition inside and out.
Source: Premium Motors
Found: 7/23/2007
Comments: I had a feeling looking at even one Mustang would have this start looking like a Mustang column. That was unintentional. I liked this Mustang so much because of the affordable price and the air conditioning. This could make a really nice daily driver.
1966 Ford Mustang - $12,500
Description: This is a very pretty light blue Mustang with a very
sharp blue and white Pony console interior. Engine is the 289 V8 with
automatic transmission. Paint, radiator, fan blade, upholstery, and
front seal are all new. Car has the rally pack and original radio. Owner
drove this car home 130 miles on the interstate and it handled very
Source: Classic Lady Motors
Found: 7/23/2007
Comments: This Mustang got in here because I love the Pony interior...and the rally pac gauges. If this car had air conditioning I would be tempted to look at financing this one.
1968 Ford Mustang - $9,900
Description: 1968 Ford Mustang coupe with the original 289 V-8
engine, three speed manual transmission, power brakes, factory a/c,
bench seat with fold down arm rest, and many new parts!
Source: Automania
Found: 5/2/2007
Comments: I really like an unusual combination of options on a non-special car. Here we have a plain Jane Mustang Coupe. But a bench seat is pretty unusual in a Mustang. Add to that it has a manual transmission and air conditioning. I'll bet that overall combination is pretty rare. None of this would make this car worth a lot of money, but it does make it interesting. And I like that.
The cherry on the cake for me is this car is located in Texas.

I recorded the beginning before doing the guitar tracks... and spend almost an hour just trying to play the first part because I couldn't stop laughing (and muting didn't work because I knew what was there). Hope you laugh as much as I did... Some kinda funny $h1t P.S. Forgive the solo in the middle of the song... it was a one-take improv thingie... oh.. and this one is not mixed...

35 Comments to 10 Signs that You Might be a Breastfeeding Mama
You know you're a breastfeeding mother when you spend at least a portion of your day looking like you had half a boob job done.
You've (at least tried…) to make a habit of looking down to see if your boobs are hanging out before opening the door for the mailman/delivery guy (which is often since you shop online. A lot!!)
hahahahaha YES!!! 🙂
omg god yes i started doing that when i walked out of the peds office put the baby in the car and sat down before i realized my nipple was hanging out of my shirt
i couldve died lol
You only buy and wear shirts based on how nursing friendly the are.
You think nothing of groping your boobs to check which ones fullest, which is ok until you remember you're in the middle of a crowded coffee shop lol.
So true!!!!
your so use to walking around topless you have answered the door not knowing your shirt was undone on more then one occasion.
when your baby starts getting hungry your husband walks up to your recliner and latches your LO on while you nap (you know since who wears tops at home LOL)
You may wake up in pools of milk…while your partner is sleeping clean and peacefully..
You nurse so often that when someone tries to hand you a baby blanket to cover up with…it actually takes you a few seconds to figure out WHY they're handing you something – and then you just say "no thanks" 😉
You have at least once thought of the "stretch Armstrong" toy that you had as a child when your baby stays fully latched on and strettttcccches your nipple as he flings his head back.
You know just how wide awake you can instantly become when you have a teething baby who is nursing.
When you walk into a playdate and all of the breastfed babies stop what they're doing and look at you like you're a buffet.
When you ask your child multiple times per day, "Wanna boob?"
You feel your boobs for fullness to decide what side to feed baby on. You have done it so many times that it's second nature, and you've actually done it in public forgetting that it's not normal.
I've done it in school when deciding if it was time for me to pump or if I could wait…and I don't realize it till one of the 50 cosmetology students I did it in front of asks, "Umm, why are you grabbing your boobs?"
Yes! I am constantly forgetting and hefting my boobs at work to see how urgently I need to pump.
You dress in layers when you will be out for a while…because you know at least one shirt will get soaked with milk.
I keep at least 2 shirts and a bra in my bag at all times!!
Went to bed with your boob in your shirt, woke up with it out— have no idea how it happened.
You know you're a breastfeeding mother when your every-day wardrobe consists of clothing that is easiest to feed your baby in…and underwire bras are virtually non-existent.
When you have more then one different bra size in your drawer, rotation and use depends on the age or stage of motherhood you are in -before babies, while pregnant, the first year post partum, toddler nursing and weaned.
You go shopping and pick tops because "it would be so easy to get my boobs out of these".
You 'weigh' your boobs with your hands to see how full they feel
You judge every item of clothing buy 'Can I pull it up/down to feed?'
You asked the older brother where´s his sister…and she´s hanging on the boob
(ok, maybe this only happened to me)
Love the blog, boobies…I mean greetings from Argentina!
You know your a breastfeeding mother when it is more convenient to leave your shirt halfway down your belly instead of pulling it up and down every time your baby wants a quick drink!
I once nipped out to my car without realising I had a boob out. Got some funny looks. Thing is, I'd just had dinner with my husband and he didn't even mention it!
You know you're a breastfeeding momma when it doesn't occur to you (until it's too late) that you just squeezed each boob to check supply in front of your guest….
You spend all of your "free" or planning time at work pumping in a weird spot.
You've mastered eating with one hand while the baby is eating.
After about 18 months of nursing I just gave up wearing a shirt to bed. One less thing for us both to fumble around with in the middle of the night.
When you realize you've been walking around the office for half the day with your work shirt unbuttoned, exposing your major milk cleavage peeking out your tank top…b/c you forgot to button your shirt after you pumped!
You only wear 10% of the clothes in your closet because it's too hard to get your boobs out of the others.
This made me laugh during a not so funny kind of week. Thanks to all who contributed! I can relate to all of these (especially the boob hefting!)
When your brothers are not even phased by the sight of a bare breast on the couch in the living room, and your sister is constantly telling a parade of teenage girls, "Baby is just eating, we can play with her when she is done on the boob."
You email/text your hubby (who works in the same building) for a hand warmer or heating pad for a clogged duct. He walks into your classroom (of 17 teenage boys and 6 girls) with a hearing pad the size of a large open cookbook and doesn't understand why you might not want to use it in the classroom! Then returns with a hand warmer that you discreetly stick in at the back of the room while the kids are working.
LOL!!! I can relate to almost every single thing being said! Glad I'm not alone!
You can tell your hubby has been around a bf mama when his 20 year old niece accidentaly sends him a bf pic and he doesn't even blink lol And even offers her advice when she mentions that she and baby are dealing with thrush on her nipple. Love it!
You know you're a breastfeeding Momma when you have a ridiculous amount of tank tops, and every day you wear one (so you don't expose the tummy during num-num time, lol).
And I agree with all posted above! Just yesterday I was getting out of my car in the Target parking lot, and wondered why the guy in the car across from mine was staring at me….I had forgotten to tuck my right lady back in….whoops!
I love it that I am not the only person who experiences boob syndrome…
You know you're a breastfeeding momma if you've experience boob bites and nipple pull…
You know you're a breastfeeding momma if you buy clothes that are breast feeding friendly.

Air Purifiers in Fort Wayne, IN
Clean air is a must in an environment like ours, especially when it comes to germs and other biological contaminants. Dry air in the winter leaves us more vulnerable to colds, while the hot, muggy temperatures of summer foster the growth of mold as well as creepy-crawlies.
Air filters can do an adequate job at keeping your home free of germs, but only fitfully, and without the comprehensive coverage that a stronger type of air purifier can provide. The professionals at Collier's Comfort provide the best air purifiers in the business, and can install and repair them as needed. If you think your home can be improved by the addition of an air purification system, give us a call today! We're a company you've grown to trust!
Your Satisfaction with every job.
The installers did a very nice job. They explained what they were doing and why. Very pleased with the prompt service and very courteous employees.
- Dean, Fort Wayne
I can't say enough good things about the men that installed my furnace & AC.They worked hard to get the furnace running as soon as
- Joan, Huntington
I'm very pleased with my new furnace and A/C. Everyone was very friendly and knowledgeable. It made the whole experience enjoyable.
- Deana, Bluffton
How Do Air Purifiers Work?
If you're talking about eliminating germs and other biological contaminants, you're likely talking about UV air purifiers. These forms of air purification system utilize ultraviolet light to kill germs. We can't see UV light, but it causes our skin to tan and burn when we go out in the sun. At lower levels, UV lights (or blacklights) can make our white clothes glow in the dark.
It's harmless to us, but for germs and tiny organisms, it will either kill them outright or render then incapable of reproducing. That's exactly the kind of power you need to run a whole house air purifier. But how do you set up those lights to do the most good in the least amount of time.
They Work with Your HVAC System
Obviously, you can't simply put UV lights up everywhere in your Fort Wayne home. You need the lights placed somewhere where they can do the most amount of good in the least amount of space. The apex to your heating and cooling ducts is the perfect spot to clean your system.
A whole–house air purifier stretches UV lights across the apex of the ducts — an impenetrable sheet of light that even the tiniest organism can't get through. As the air cycles through your heating system and cooling system, germs in the air get pushed through the light. The longer the system runs, the more of your air is cleansed of germs, and the fresher and healthier you air will feel.
We're Here to Help
As your go–to source for air cleaners and UV air purifiers, we're dedicated to installing whole–house air purifiers in your home with courtesy and pride. We also want to make sure that your air purification devices runs exactly as it should. The best air purifiers rarely need servicing beyond changing the light bulb, and in the unlikely event repairs are required, we can be there quickly to make it happen.
That's all part and parcel of the services provided, and when it comes to air purifiers, that diligence can pay off. A happy healthier home means fewer illnesses, lower levels of mold growth and an overall energy in the home that can't be readily duplicated. Call our team today to get the process started!

Appealing to the State Board of Equalization
With limited exception, a disputed assessment must first be appealed to the county board of equalization of where the property is located or it becomes final. Contact the assessor in your county to appeal to the county board of equalization.
Appeals to the state board of equalization from a local board of equalization must be filed on or before August 1 of the tax year, or within forty-five (45) days of the date notice of the local board action was sent, whichever is later.
File A Value Appeal
Taxpayer's wishing to appeal a property's value to the State Board of Equalization should do so through our online filing system.
SBOE Public Portal
The SBOE Public Portal provides up-to-date information regarding the status of appeals before the board.
The County Board of Equalization:
Taxpayers must typically first appeal a disputed valuation or classification to the local county board of equalization. Some county assessors have a process for informal review of disputed assessments which may provide expedited review and correction of any contested property valuation. However, informal review is not an appeal and taxpayers must appeal to the county board of equalization should they wish to preserve their further rights of appeal.
The county board of equalization is a panel of five to seven persons empowered to hear complaints of a taxpayer and make certain changes to disputed assessments. Notice of the decision and action of the county board will be sent to the taxpayer who may accept or appeal the decision.
Hearing before an Administrative Law Judge:
Should a taxpayer disagree with a decision of a county board of equalization the taxpayer may appeal to the State Board of Equalization for a hearing and determination by an administrative law judge. While there is no specific timeframe for when a hearing will be scheduled before an administrative law judge, the taxpayer and county assessor will receive a notice approximately thirty (30) days in advance of any scheduled hearing.
An Initial Decision and Order regarding a taxpayer's appeal will be issued by the administrative judge within ninety (90) days of the hearing. A taxpayer has thirty (30) days from the date of the Initial Decision & Order to appeal to the Assessment Appeals Commission, otherwise the appeal becomes the final decision of the State Board of Equalization.
The Assessment Appeals Commission:
Should a taxpayer disagree with the Initial Decision and Order of the administrative law judge, the taxpayer may appeal to the Assessment Appeals Commission. The Assessment Appeals Commission is a panel of three or more experienced property tax professionals who may affirm the decision of the administrative law judge or remand the case for further proceedings. The Assessment Appeals Commission may reverse or modify the decision if the rights of the petitioner have been prejudiced because the administrative findings, inferences, conclusions, or decisions are:
- In violation of constitutional or statutory provisions;
- Made upon unlawful procedure;
- Arbitrary and capricious or characterized by abuse of discretion or clearly unwarranted exercise of discretion; or
- Unsupported by evidence that is both substantial and material in light of the entire record.
The Assessment Appeals Commission will issue a Final Decision & Order within ninety (90) days of the hearing. If the State Board of Equalization does not elect to review the decision of the commission the decision becomes final forty-five (45) days from the date is it entered.
The State Board of Equalization:
A party who desires the State Board of Equalization to review a decision of the Assessment Appeals Commission must file a written petition with the Executive Secretary of the State Board within fifteen (15) days from date of the Final Decision & Order. Review by the State Board of Equalization is permissive and not guaranteed. Parties who petition for review by the board will be notified if their petition is granted.
Chancery Court:
A taxpayer wishing for judicial review of a final action of the State Board of Equalization must file a petition in the county where the disputed assessment was made or in an appropriate chancery court within sixty (60) days from when the order of the State Board of Equalization becomes final.
Those wishing to appeal an Initial Decision and Order from an administrative law judge may do so through filing an online appeal with the Assessment Appeals Commission.
The State Board of Equalization is tasked with reviewing assessments and decisions made by local boards of equalization. Any taxpayer or any owner of property subject to taxation in the state, who is aggrieved by any action taken by the county board of equalization has the right to appeal to the State Board of Equalization. A taxpayer or owner of property must first make a complaint and appeal to the local board of equalization unless an exception provided by law allows otherwise.
Direct appeals to the State Board of Equalization without first appealing to the county board of equalization are allowable if:
- The taxpayer or owner has not been duly notified by the assessor of property of an increase in the taxpayer's or owner's assessment or change in classification as provided for in Tenn. Code Ann. § 67-5-508.
- Notice of an assessment or classification change pursuant to Tenn. Code Ann. § 67-5-508 was sent to the taxpayer's last known address later than ten (10) days before the adjournment of the local board of equalization.
- The taxpayer can show reasonable cause, meaning circumstances beyond the taxpayer's control, for the taxpayer's failure to first appeal to the county board of equalization.
- The taxpayer is appealing a correction made by or refused by the county assessor.
- The local assessor has given written consent for the taxpayer to appeal Industrial & Commercial classified property directly to the State Board of Equalization, as provided for in Tenn. Code Ann § 67-5-1412(b).
The State Board of Equalization does not have jurisdiction to accept an appeal from a taxpayer after March 1 of the year subsequent to when the time for appeal to the state board began to run.
The law requires that you pay at least the undisputed portion of your taxes prior to the delinquency date to avoid penalties and interest. You also must pay the full amount of any delinquent taxes due against the property for prior years. See Tenn. Code Ann. § 67-5-1512(b). By so doing, you avoid the usual penalty and interest for delinquent taxes and the possible delay or dismissal of your appeal. When a final certificate of assessment is issued by the Board of Equalization or Assessment Appeals Commission, the taxpayer will owe the amount of any underpayment of taxes, along with interest at the rate provided by law.
To calculate the undisputed portion of taxes, subtract the value you claim in good faith to be the fair market value for your property, from the assessor's value, and multiply the result times the applicable tax rate. For more information about calculating your taxes owed see "How to Calculate Your Tax Bill." County taxes for the year under appeal may be obtained from the office of county trustee. City taxes (if any) may be obtained from the city collecting official, who may be either the city treasurer, city recorder, or the county trustee, who sometimes also serves as the city tax collector.
The interest rate applicable to taxes under appeal is the composite prime rate published by the Federal Reserve Board, minus two points. (available below).
Decisions of an administrative law judge, the Assessment Appeals Commission, or the State Board of Equalization are only final once further opportunity for agency review has concluded. The time period for further review differs depending on what level the appeal is. If no party appeals a decision, the typical periods are as follows:
- Initial Decisions and Orders of an Administrative Law Judge are typically final seventy-five (75) days from the date of the signed order.
- Final Decisions and Orders of the Assessment Appeals Commission are typically final forty-five (45) days from the date of the signed order.
- Orders of the State Board of Equalization are typically final as of the date they are issued.
Once a decision becomes final the parties will receive an e-mailed notice from the office of the State Board of Equalization and the results will be available on the SBOE Public Portal. Additionally, any delinquency penalty and interest postponed during the pendency of an appeal shall begin to accrue thirty (30) days after any decision becomes final.
Public Chapter 691 of 2014 abolished routine issuance of paper "official certificates" of SBOE action in appeals. Instead the Board will post actions via the SBOE Public Portal and send e-mail notifications to taxpayers, assessors and trustees as new postings occur effective July 1, 2014. Therefore, please provide this office with and maintain an updated email address for this purpose. This means significant savings in mailing and handling costs, but also may change how you close records of appeals.
Assessors may continue to certify appeal revisions to their collecting officials if this is your present practice, as a means of assuring the collector has an accurate basis to refund or collect tax due following the appeal. Collectors who have used the State Board certificates as the sole basis for further refund or collection may use the posted State Board actions instead, perhaps allowing a routine lag time to allow the assessor to review the postings for error. If you detect an error in a posting, send your correction request to firstname.lastname@example.com for counties beginning with A - R and firstname.lastname@example.com for counties beginning with S - Z and include the following information:
· Record
· Number
· County Name
· Tax Year
· Correction Description
· Business or Appellant Name (under which the original application was filed)
· Final Result Date
Please call (615) 401-7883 if you need additional assistance.
While an appeal is currently pending a Taxpayer and County Assessor may agree to settle a matter before the board at any point prior to a decision becoming final before the State Board of Equalization. Parties who wish to settle a disputed assessment may submit an agreed order in which they stipulate the value of the property under appeal.
Parties who waive their right to further appeal before the board and waive their right to petition for reconsideration will receive an expedited final certificate of value from the State Board of Equalization.
When the parties, typically the taxpayer and the assessor of property, submit an agreed order with the appropriate waivers mentioned above that order becomes the final action of the State Board of Equalization. After the action has become final an Official Certificate will be issued pursuant to Tenn. Code Ann. § 67-5-1512, enabling the appropriate collecting official to process any applicable payment or refund of taxes due.
For additional information or to submit an agreed order for a pending appeal before the State Board of Equalization, please email firstname.lastname@example.com.

When enough is enough
导读:性骚扰(sexual harassment)已经成为一个非常普遍的社会问题。受害对象也不再仅限于女性。面对性骚扰,是应该忍气吞声,淡化影响,还是起身抗争呢?
Have you ever been inappropriately touched by strangers on crowded buses or subways? Have you ever received any suggestive text messages from people you barely know?
A recent survey conducted by students from the School of Public Health at Sun Yat-sen University found that 81 percent of the students they surveyed wanted to know how to protect themselves from sexual harassment, and 61 percent were worried about preventing it from occuring.
But what exactly is sexual harassment? "Sexual harassment can be defined as words or conduct of a sexual nature that create an embarrassing, hostile, humiliating or offensive situation for the victim," said Chen Zuhui, a doctoral candidate of Public Health at Jinan University in Guangzhou.
According to him, it can involve a wide range of actions, including gestures, physical acts, sexual innuendos, and verbal demands for sexual favors. It can be as seemingly innocent as someone asking if you got laid over the weekend.
"Sometimes these signs are so subtle that it's tough to recognize them. But don't wait until they become serious before taking action," Chen said.
"Sexual harassment is not a condition experienced just by women, men can face it as well," he added.
Ma Xiaoli, 19, a sophomore majoring in journalism at Wuhan University, has experienced such issues. She noticed that several male students in her class frequently told dirty jokes in her presence, or sent her flirtatious text messages. Some of them even touched her when talking to her.
"I felt very uncomfortable about all this, but I didn't know what to do," she described. "I considered it too embarrassing to tell teachers or friends."
Psychological experts warn that sexual harassment might start as a one-off event, but the moment it becomes routine a victim's life can descend into a nightmare.
Liu Yanjie, deputy director of the Student Office at Xiamen University urges those affected by sexual harassment to take action. The first step is to clearly communicate the problem.
For instance, when a stranger makes an offensive remark toward you, you can politely tell him or her to stop. If someone touches you often, just say: "Could you please avoid putting your hands on me? It makes me uncomfortable".
Chen also suggests being assertive in what you say. "Protest while there are other people around who can act as witnesses, and don't laugh or smile or do anything else to make the harasser think you are joking," he mentioned.
If this still doesn't stop the offender, it's wise to keep a record of all incidents that have occurred. Write down the timing and exactly what happened, as well as the names of people who saw it happen. Save any texts, sound recordings or pictures you receive as evidence.
It's also important to speak out to others. "Don't blame yourself. You didn't ask to be harassed. Likewise, you shouldn't deny what's happening or downplay the effects of harassment," said Guan Kuiling, a teacher of Psychological Consultation at the Ocean University of China.
Liu advises harassed students to go to an authority figure for help. "You can report an incident to a trusted teacher or other faculty members," she said. "School administrators and campus police also have to ensure that your learning environment is free from sexual harassment."

UK Economy still strong as political battle rolls on
The latest good news about the UK economy is a solid figure for business investment in the third quarter, the most recent one following the Brexit vote.
While we are sceptical about economic forecasts, this was the one figure we believed was most likely to have been hit by the vote, as we thought the increased uncertainty around the UK's path away from the EU was likely to cause businesses to delay investment.
It is hard to know how to take this: is investment strong because businesses are not thinking two and a half years' ahead (to the time we would leave the EU if Article 50 is invoked in March)? Or is this a sign that the euro sceptics were right and our EU membership is not crucial to confidence in UK plc?
The answer is probably a bit of both, which means that weakness in this number should show up over time. It may also mean there is more to go in the recovery of the domestically-focussed mid and small caps versus the large cap foreign earners, at least in the medium term.

(beginning lesson 270 study material)
(What is the Body?) *
I will not use the body's eyes today.
Father, Christ's vision is Your gift to me, and it has power to translate all that the body's eyes behold into the sight of a forgiven world. How glorious and gracious is this world! Yet how much more will I perceive in it than sight can give. The world forgiven signifies Your Son acknowledges his Father, lets his dreams be brought to truth, and waits expectantly the one remaining instant more of time which ends forever, as Your memory returns to him. And now his will is one with Yours. His function now is but Your Own, and every thought except Your Own is gone.
The quiet of today will bless our hearts, and through them peace will come to everyone. Christ is our eyes today. And through His sight we offer healing to the world through Him, the holy Son whom God created whole; the holy Son whom God created One.

Every year, a survey about best of Mercedes F1 drivers is conducted, which resulted in the formation of a dozen of the best peloton riders. Participants vote score points on the principle of 25 to 1 (as in the F1 scoring system). In this case, all the voices are kept secret. For the fifth time in a row, according to the results of the voting, Lewis Hamilton became the winner, who won the fifth title in F1, winning the 11 Grand Prix in the 2018 season. Eight of nine team leaders voted for him. Lewis Hamilton is a British Formula 1 driver, a Mercedes driver. Eight-year-old Lewis won the karting youth championship and has since scored one victory after another. At ten years old, after another triumph, the boy had the courage to ask for an autograph from Ron Dennis, the chief of the McLaren team in Formula 1 racing, at the same time declaring that he would soon get behind the wheel of his car. Dennis smiled at the arrogant lad, gave an autograph and said that they would certainly meet in 9 years. So it happened.
Lewis Hamilton
At the age of twelve, Hamilton won the award in the Junior Yamaha racing series, for which he was honored to participate in a special support program for young McLaren Mercedes riders. This was followed by participation and victories in the series Intercontinental A, Formula A, Formula Super A. In 1998, Lewis met again with Ron Dennis, taking a well-deserved place in the McLaren team, and three years later the guy was fortunate to participate in card racing in the company of Michael Schumacher and earn the highest rating and approval of the renowned rider.
In 2007, Lewis Hamilton made his debut in Formula 1 competitions as part of the McLaren Mercedes team. His partner was the Spaniard Fernando Alonso, a more experienced and adult racer. For some time the men worked harmoniously, but soon the ambitious Lewis surpassed his colleague, which caused conflicts between the pilots. These disagreements were the reason for the numerous attacks on Hamilton by Alonso fans, who were frankly racist. Fernando himself openly condemned the actions of his fans, but the irreconcilable rivalry between the leading race drivers remained. Hamilton's biography as a Formula 1 car pilot is full of bright victories and unexpected turns. To some extent, Lewis himself provokes conflicts with other riders and team members, not disdaining prohibited practices.
In contrast to the strained relations with Fernando Alonso, Hamilton has a strong friendship with Nico Rosberg although for the past few years these two pilots of the Mercedes team have been the closest rivals in the fight for the champion title. In 2016, Rosberg finally walked around on points of Hamilton.
Lewis Hamilton: This is an incredible story!
In Mexico, Lewis Hamilton finished fourth and won the title ahead of schedule – the fifth in his career. Lewis Hamilton: "Now I have strange sensations. Thanks to the fans for making the Grand Prix of Mexico so special, and thanks to my team! Bono [the racing engineer] told me on the radio that the title was won not in this race, but thanks to the tremendous work at all the previous stages. I am immensely grateful to our staff at the base, our partners from Petronas, Epson, and Bose – to everyone! I cooperate with Mercedes from the age of 13, and to win five titles with them – as much as Mercedes won Fangio – it's hard to believe! What about race? It turned out terrible! I started well and at first broke through – I do not understand what happened next. Tires behaved strangely, I do not understand the reason. Valtteri also had great difficulties with them. In the end, we just tried to get to the finish line. I am grateful to God and my family. Without the enormous efforts of my father, I would hardly have been in Formula 1. This is truly an incredible story! "
Michael Schumacher – a man who doesn't like champagne
"Probably the youngest German kart driver lives in Niderausem. His name is Michael Schumacher, and he is four years old. The little racer has been with his father for about four weeks in the karting club "Racing Friends of Count Berge von Trips". The maximum speed of his self-made map is 45 km / h. It is built from parts of a pedal machine, and an engine from a moped is mounted on it … "- so the German newspapers wrote about the future seven-time world champion in 1973.
Now it seems strange that in all the works, large-scale or quite modest, dedicated to his biography, the researchers considered it their duty to emphasize that in his youth no one noticed in Michael signs of a future genius. In his youth, he was just very good, but not an outstanding racer. Truly his potential was revealed only in the course of his career, when he had already achieved something in motor sport. That homemade card was presented to little Michael for his four-year anniversary, but one cannot really say that he immediately plunged into the sport – it happened a little later, when it became clear that he was unlikely to be a tough football player.
But when Schumacher made his choice, if not the way of life, then at least his favorite activity, it became problematic to pull him out of the circuit. For example, in rainy weather, when most of their peers were sitting at home, he continued to cut circles stubbornly, and in addition he went in for equestrian sports in order to improve his sense of balance and to perfect his coordination of movements. However, the final decision to become a professional racer was made by Michael only in 1990 – about a year and a half before his historic debut in Formula 1 – when he began to play for the factory Mercedes team in the races of sport prototypes of the now defunct Group C.
Even before this, in the autumn of 1988, there was a meeting between the still very young Schumacher and Willie Weber, who then remained his manager and friend for many years. Some believe that it was by communicating and cooperating with Weber that Michael developed a quality in himself that could be called loyalty to a business partner or simply loyalty to loved ones. Perhaps that's why Michael played only three teams in his Formula 1 career and spent several years in each team. Is that the debut race for Jordan does not fit into this rule, but that was a different story?
"I think this is why Michael went farther than all of us," recalled Mika Salo, who more than once managed to outperform Schumacher in youth formulas. "He remained in teams for a long time and at the very early stages of his career in F1, he had the opportunity to fight for victory, his self-confidence was constantly growing, and as a result he became better as a racer." Years later, being already a glorified champion, as if in memory of the early stages of his career, Michael said: "I always tell myself that somewhere there is someone much more talented than me, only he has never had the opportunity to prove himself. But I know that one day it will happen, it is inevitable, but I am ready for it."
In chess, there are grandmasters, and in motor sport, it is possible to equate with this title those possessing the super license of the FIA. At one time, Schumacher said: "I see two areas that are similar in F1 and chess: tactics and overtaking. In both cases, you need to anticipate the behavior of the opponent and take him by surprise. However, I am not strong in chess, unlike Ross Brown – he is a true master. It's very hard to beat him." Michael still owns two Formula 1 records, which are difficult to beat – 91 Grand Prix victories and seven titles. During his career, this man just bathed in prize champagne, but the most surprising thing was that he could not stand the bubbly of champions and once admitted: "Actually, I hate champagne. Sometimes I drink it on the podium, but only because I am so happy that I don't notice it. After the race there is nothing worse than champagne."
Michael also believed that if you find a four-leaf clover, it will bring good luck: "When I walk around the field, I always look for such a clover. Most often, if I manage to find him, I am a good speaker in the next Grand Prix. So it was before, as I won the last two races of 2000, so I got the title, and Ferrari – the Cup of designers. However, luck does not come by itself. For this you need to work."
January 3, Michael Schumacher turned 50 years old. And the best thing now is to recall the words of Ross Brown, said two years ago: "We all hope and pray that one day he will recover …"
Nico Rosberg
After the success of a capable boy, representatives of the German Formula BMW notice and offer a place in the team. Here Niko won the first Champion title at the age of 17. This triumph of the young rider also does not remain unnoticed, and before him opens the road to the Formula 3 Euro-series, in the division of which Rosberg senior has his own team. Niko becomes a Formula 3 pilot, but does not rise above the 4th place in the 2004 season. After graduating from aerodynamics courses at the Imperial College in London (2005), Nico Rosberg proceeds to the test race on the cars in the team "Williams F1". The club management assessed the technical and professional skills of the rider, and the young man was approved for the position of chief pilot of "Williams F1".
The debut of the athlete in the "Formula 1" was held in 2005. The first race in Bahrain did not bring the coveted success, as the car Rosberg collided with the car Mark Webber. Due to the replacement of the front wing pilot is forced to go to the box, losing a lot of time. Finishing seventh, he set a record for the speed of the lap. At the same time he became the youngest pilot of Formula -1, who managed it. In 2006, the season for a young athlete can be considered a failure, as due to frequent descent from the track for technical reasons, he took 17th place in the standings. The frank miscalculations of the designers "Williams" strongly disappointed Rosberg, and he even thought about moving to a stronger team.
The leadership of the club "McLaren" offered the driver a vacancy in his own team, but he succumbed to the entreaties and the profitable contract from "Williams" and remained in the same place. Also, the young man changes his partner. Now Alexander Wurz is playing with him, instead of Mark Webber. The victorious race of this season was the Grand Prix in Brazil, where the athlete came fourth. The following years from 2007 to 2010 can hardly be considered useful for Niko's career. Slow car with poor technical characteristics simply did not allow the rider to unlock the potential. The best team result was a victory in Brazil, where "Williams" took the fourth place. The pilot was very upset by the constant malfunctions of his own car. Oil flowed out of the engine, then the gearbox jammed, the fuel unexpectedly ran out, and once even the engine explosion – all this had a negative effect on the time of the route.
Nico finally left the British stable in 2010 and signed a contract with Mercedes-Benz GP, which was formed on the basis of the Brawn GP team. The future champion is represented as the main pilot of the team. After a couple of months, Michael Schumacher, a seven-time world champion, becomes the German partner. Such a partner inspired the young fighter to accomplish feats. The first race in the overall standings ends with getting 7th place. Then the guy had everything to achieve his own goal: a high-speed car, a famous partner, talent and the desire to work hard and hard. It worked in the 2012 season, when Nico Rosberg won the first victory. In the Chinese Grand Prix earned the first pole, and the second podium in Monte Carlo. During the season, the young German got into the top ten of the strongest riders, ranking 9th in the standings.
2013 began for Rosberg unsuccessfully, as the car repeatedly went off the track, and the driver lost points. By the end of the season, the athlete equalized the results and took first place in Britain and Monaco. Now changed and partner. Schumacher's place is occupied by Lewis Hamilton, who also intends to achieve the champion title.
A year later, in the "Formula 1" the rules were changed, according to which the riders now choose a permanent number. Niko chose the six, as this number brought victory not only to him, but also to his eminent father. At the beginning of the 2014 season Rosberg is in the lead, but towards the end of the year the positions of the forces gradually change, and the palm goes to Lewis Hamilton. This was the result of a collision with Lewis at the Grand Prix of Belgium. The situation mocks Nico, who finishes the fourteenth, being honored with the title of world vice-champion.
Juan Manuel Fangio. The incredible life of one of the best drivers in the history of motorsport
At the beginning of the 21st century, Michael Schumacher did what was considered impossible half a century, namely, equaling the number of titles with Fangio. Many consider him one of the best pilots in history, not only because of the skills of piloting the machine, but also because of the nature. Although there are exceptions, for example, Enzo Ferrari, who said what he said about him: "I first saw him at the Modena circuit in the spring of 1949, where he flew past a couple of times. Attracted by his unusual riding style, I began to watch him more closely. He was, perhaps, the only racer who, coming out of a turn, did not knock off the protective bales of hay from the outside edge. I said to myself: "This Argentinian knows the business. He flies out of a turn, like a projectile, and keeps to the right of the middle of the road."
And in conversation, he avoided my gaze, replying in a monosyllabic voice with a still metallic voice, all the while keeping a mysterious expression on his face with a shadow of an uncertain smile curve. At this first meeting, I made two conclusions regarding Fangio: in a year he will be a world champion, and it will take me time to figure out his character. I was doubly mistaken: he did not become a champion in 1950, but a year later, I understood his character when it was already too late. Manuel Fangio remained in my memory as a kind of mystery. However, his skill on the track was undoubted. He combined unsurpassed intuition in respect of all the vicissitudes of the race with calculating, polemical intelligence, as well as self-reliance. Fangio was a really great racer, but he suffered persecution mania. A strange man was Fangio."
Hard childhood
The future genius was born on June 24, 1911 in the Argentine city of Balkars. His relatives were immigrants from Italy and therefore the champion received a Spanish-Italian name. The first name "Juan" was given in honor of his patron (June 24 – St. Juan's Day), and "Manuel" went on behalf of the King of Italy, Victor Emanuel the Third. The family was clearly not from the rich, and the young guy had already at the age of 11 to take up hard work. After receiving experience in the metalworking workshop, he after some time went to work in the auto repair shop. Thus, he was born a lifelong love for cars – the smell of parts was for him a kind of engine. At the age of 13, he got a job from a local dealer of the Studebbecker automobile company.
The task of Juan was the transportation of goods to nearby cities. Driving skills on difficult roads impressed the employer so much that he paid Fangio his salary for the year ahead. And the first four-wheeled love for the maestro was Overland. Unfortunately, in 1929, Juan got pneumonia and, due to the level of medicine of those years, he had to lie in bed for a year. After recovery, he served in the army and returned to his work with new forces. Also this was helped by the gift of the father – a small piece of land on which Juan could deploy his workshop. This place quickly became the center of attention and gathered many friends.
In 1936, when he was 25, Juan Manuel took part in races for the first time. The first race car was Ford 1929. Initially, it was a taxi, but Juan Manuel, along with his friends redid it – and it was possible to start in the race on the ground. In order to hide his participation in dangerous competitions from his parents, he spoke under the pseudonym "Rivadavia" – the name of the first President of Argentina. Fangio did not finish the race due to a breakdown, but at that moment the driver was in third position and was easily "taken to the pencil" by the local public.
First win, pole and title
Such an incredible performance of the pilot could not pass by Alfa Romeo. The Italian team for the first in the history of the world championship "Formula 1" has gathered a team of Galaxy. Farina and Fadzhioli became Argentine teammates. The trio was doomed to be seen at the first Grand Prix in history, which was held in the UK, but in the end it was our hero who fell out of the troika. The season of ups and downs began for Juan Manuel from the second – the car caught one of the haystacks that protected the track (there were no four rows of used tires at that time), and this damaged the radiator. Because of the overheating of the engine, he eventually got off.
In the next four races, Fangio scored three victories and ahead of the last Grand Prix ahead of Farin in the individual competition. The first of these victories was won in Monaco, where Fangio added a pole and the fastest lap to victory. The outcome of that race was largely decided on the first lap, when Tobacco turned in a massive dam. But, unfortunately for the Argentine, at the final race in Monza, he again met with technical problems and the title sailed away to the Italian. Fangio had an amazing achievement – in all the races where he finished, he won victories. The endurance of the equipment was decisive, but even here the Argentine was somewhat unlucky – at the Grand Prix in Belgium, Farina had problems on the last lap, and he still managed to get to the finish line and take three points.

Episode 68
Casey Tower has three children now. All boys. Her stable marriage to an executive at a logistics firm keeps her content but she often wonders about her brother and the expanse between them. She calls. They talk. They make plans but never execute. Her relationship with their mother has grown more distant as well but this Thanksgiving, along with pressure for more visits with her grandchildren, Samantha adds her desire to see Sean at the table this year. Both Ned and his sisters have treated Samantha like family despite her divorce from their dead brother. When Abigail left the family, the Towers' need for Samantha's presence grew. She is a Tower in more than name. Sean knows he must look uncomfortable as they bow their heads and pray over the food which endured hours of laughter and gossip to reach the plates and platters. Ned's prayer touches on all their lives, thanking God for the company of Samantha and her children, Lillian (now divorced) and her recent career advancements, Dillon's family's new home, pleading with God to guide Naomi and her oldest son through his latest incarceration for assault. Almost as an afterthought, he mentions Abigail and prays for her soul and the souls of Kelly, Billy, and Imogene Tower. Sean cannot decipher whether this mention of Abigail is sincere or calculated. He decides it doesn't matter.
The ethereal doppler of the children playing throughout the house stirs the air of the central den where Ned and Dillon sit with Sean after the meal. Their half eaten slices of pie linger on the coffee table between them, each of them forgoing any discussion until one or the other begins then, as if pushing the silence aside like a gathering of chess pieces, Ned asks Dillon if he might have cases in trial this month and Dillon gives him a list of murders and rapes, most of which will plead to lesser charges. Sean watches them, two mystics, one the perfect recreation of the older, wiser one. He imagines Ned's fingers alight with old Israelite magic, conjuring Dillion from the mud. Now it's two against one. Ned addresses the long hours each case demands of Dillon if only to highlight his son's discipline. Sean wonders aloud how the DA's office protocol on public complaints against the force might look in the current political climate. Regretting the words as each one tumbles from his mouth, Ned asks what sorts of complaints. Assault, rape, civil rights violations. Dillon doesn't handle those cases. Sean verbalizes the implication that someone is handling those cases. Dillon reiterates that regardless of who works them, it's not him. For a moment, Ned sees his brother's shadow next to Sean. It folds across the floor in a rotating knife shape as he vaporizes with the burst of light from the screen above the mantle. Ned makes his point clearer by raising the volume higher. Then higher. And then a touch more.
In the hour it takes to say his goodbyes, he marvels at their positivity and nostalgia. All the memories stripped of their dark outlines and polished for display and they expect as much in return, their eyes searching him as if he's hidden his trade in his pockets or his socks. For expedience, he ignores them, appearing rude and rushed. His mother stops him at his car and he can see the tracks of her tears in her makeup. She hopes he's happy. She wants him to call her. She wants him to let her know if he needs anything. She expresses her love for Abigail, how ungrateful she must've seemed with her. As she considers what he and his aunt went through together, she begins to cry again. Sean spends some time holding her and assuring her he has everything he needs and if not happy, he's adjusting. In her arms, he foresees the reconciling ahead of him, his obligation for her loyalty. She has always thought of Sean's best interest. He's known for some time that leaving him with Kelly wasn't as selfish as it seemed to that confused boy so long ago. She wanted Sean. She wanted Kelly. She wanted them all but she couldn't dream of a way to prevent them from burning down.

Self Insurance Services
For some organisations it is both desirable as well as commercially viable to assume a greater level of involvement for their Workers' Compensation requirements by taking "direct financial" responsibility. This entails "owning" some or all aspects of administering the Workers' Compensation function.
WCD can guide you through this process from considering the financial implications of self insurance through to developing systems and applying for a licence.

[Dame Edith Sitwell and John Freeman's 'Face to Face' BBC TV interview. ] Two items: Autograph Letter Signed ('Edith Sitwell') to producer Hugh Burnett; & Typescript (printer's copy) of the section on the interview in Burnett's book of the series.
Two items relating to Sitwell's interview with John Freeman (1915-2014), broadcast in the BBC series 'Face to Face' on 6 May 1959. The two items are from the papers of the programme's producer Hugh Burnett (1924-2011). ONE: Autograph Letter Signed to Burnett. Signed 'Edith Sitwell'. On letterhead of Renishaw Hall, Renishaw, nr. Sheffield. 18 August 1959. 3pp., 12mo. In envelope with Italian stamp and postmark, addressed by Sitwell to 'Hugh Burnett, Esqre. | Television Studio | Lime Grove | London. W.12'. Sitwell writes on the reverse of the envelope: 'from Dame Edith Sitwell, D.B.E | Castello di Montegufoni | Montagnana | Val di Peso | pron: Firenze'. In good condition, with punch holes for ring-binder to the two leaves of the letter, which has a 'TELEVISION REGISTRY' date stamp to the blank reverse of the second leaf. After thanking him for his 'very charming letter' Sitwell writes: 'Of course I understand about the luncheon. I should take a gloomy view of the neutrality of anybody who doesnt seize the opportunity of motoring to the South of France. Your three weeks must have been heavenly, in that weather.' She will 'love to lunch' with him on her return to London. 'And I do hope you will also lunch with me, and that your wife, whom I look forward greatly to meeting, will soon be well enough to come too.' The final paragraph begins: 'Oh the poetry! The poets!! I now get, on an average, two manuscripts, the size of the week's laundry at a Station Hotel in the metropolis, every day, and every page of them preposterous bosh. I am nearer committing murder than I have ever been.' In a postscript she informs him that she will soon be giving a recital at the Edinburgh Festival. TWO: Typed text, prepared for publication (in MS.), of the section on 'DAME EDITH SITWELL' in the book 'Face to Face | Edited and introduced by Hugh Burnett' (Jonathan Cape, 1964). 3pp., foolscap 8vo. In fair condition, lightly aged and worn. Corresponding to the text as published on p.19-20 of the book. With instructions to the typesetter in pencil and red ink. The typescript and published version feature passages not present in the television interview. First, a passage on her relation 'the wicked Lady Cunningham' and flogging; then one on her brother Osbert's Italian home, Castello di Montegufoni; the pronouncement, 'I have an extremely small income – smaller than anyone would think – and I have always earned my own living. I've been excessively poor. I'm always supposed to be extremely rich.'; and lastly, 'My father was rather an odd old gentleman, and during the first war I had to take a job which brought me in twenty-five shillings a week, and two shillings war bonus. I did that partly out of patriotism, but partly because I was too poor to live without it.'

Malaysia's former prime minister Najib Razak was charged with three counts of money laundering Wednesday, in connection with a multi-billion-dollar scandal at state fund 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB).
The charges are connected to the transfer of RM42 million ($10.3 million) from SRC International, a 1MDB subsidiary, to Najib's personal bank accounts, state news agency Bernama said.
Continents and regions
Crime, law enforcement and corrections
Criminal offenses
Fraud and financial crimes
Money laundering
Southeast Asia
The charges come a month after Najib was charged with three counts of criminal breach of trust and one charge of abuse of power.
Najib, 65, whose government was plagued by scandal, was soundly defeated in a shock election result in May by 93-year-old veteran politician Mahathir Mohamad.
On Wednesday, Najib was accused of receiving three transfers totaling RM42 million -- of RM27 million, RM5 million and RM10 million -- "which were proceeds from unlawful activities," Bernama reported.
No plea for Najib was recorded, according to the news agency.
Last month, Najib was arrested and charged with abuse of power and criminal breach of trust related to the alleged transfer of the same amount of money into his personal bank account from SRC International. He pleaded not guilty to the charges and was released on bail.
Najib has apologized to the Malaysian people, saying, "I have tried my best but I realize that it is not enough... Yes, I am not perfect. I'm just a normal person. But believe me, all these accusations made against my and my family are not true."
On taking office Mahathir reopened an investigation into 1MDB and prevented his former protege Najib and his wife, Rosmah Mansor, from leaving the country.
In July police said they had seized $225 million in luxury handbags, jewelry, cash and goods from six properties linked to the former leader. The goods were seized as part of the investigation into the sprawling scandal related to 1MDB, from which Najib and others are accused of siphoning off billions of dollars.
On Tuesday a luxury yacht that was allegedly procured using stolen money from 1MDB was returned to the Malaysian government.
The yacht, "Equanimity," which was seized by Indonesian authorities in Bali earlier last year, was purchased by Malaysian financier Jho Low in 2014, a close family friend of Najib.
The seizure was requested by the US Justice Department "which asserted ownership of the yacht on behalf of Malaysia and 1MDB because monies belonging to us were used to purchase it."
According to US investigators, Low used misappropriated funds from 1MDB to buy 27 different 18-carat gold necklaces and bracelets for the wife of someone listed in the complaint as "Malaysia Official 1." That official has been widely reported to be Najib.
The US is currently seeking to recover around $540 million misappropriated from the 1MDB fund, with more than $1.7 billion of assets subject to forfeiture under the Kleptocracy Asset Recovery Initiative.
Some of those assets include profits from the Martin Scorsese film "The Wolf of Wall Street," which was financed by a company associated with 1MDB, as well as properties linked to Low and others.
Mahathir told CNN in an exclusive interview last month that his incoming government was shocked by the scale of corruption.
"Most of the top echelons in the government are corrupt," he said.

Like many brilliant ideas in life, JAKAZNI was born from the desire to do something for oneself. Founders and Directors, Jason Watkins and Keith Bremner wanted their own cycling kits to help promote businesses they were running at the time, so with Keith's extensive experience in the graphics industry, it didn't take long to come up with a design while Jason sourced a supplier.
The early days taught the two rookies many lessons about the sports clothing industry and over the ensuing years the JAKAZNI brand has been developed into one that is now widely recognised and trusted for it's dedication to quality and customer satisfaction.
JAKAZNI has built it's reputation on supplying Quality Custom Cycling Apparel catering to everyone from racer to commuter. They have made custom kits for small children and for adults up to 8XL. If you need custom arm lengths, longer or shorter body length or longer or shorter leg lengths… JAKAZNI is happy to meet your demands to ensure the best fit. JAKAZNI is pretty flexible like that. If you're looking for Full Italian Race Kit, High Quality Everyday Cycle wear or Event Quality Jerseys… JAKAZNI has your cycling apparel covered.
JAKAZNI has supplied custom kit to hundreds of clients ranging from individuals to clubs, small groups and corporate teams and events.
JAKAZNI also sponsors many cycling events and is happy to promote the benefits of cycling whether it be through racing, social riding or MTB.
As keen cyclists themselves, Jason and Keith make sure all JAKAZNI products are thoroughly tested before they are considered for production which has resulted in them only using Italian pads, high quality zips and improved fabrics throughout the JAKAZNI range.
At JAKAZNI we are passionate about cycling and the fashion that goes with it so we want you to look and feel fantastic in your custom JAKAZNI kit as well.
