2018 FIFA World Cup: Forget Messi and Ronaldo, these are the 10 best players to watch in Russia
Which one of these 10 players will have a summer to remember in Russia?
The biggest names in soccer have all taken over Russia for the biggest sporting event on the planet. It's quite the 32-day party in Russia and all parts of the world. But before the journey to World Cup final is over, let's break down the players you, the casual soccer fan, should be keeping an eye on.
The common spectator may know everything that needs to be known about Argentina's Lionel Messi and Portugal's Cristiano Ronaldo. Combined, they have won every single Ballon d'Or Award since 2008. They're both unstoppable, but have never been able to win a World Cup title.
As we get in the midst of the biggest soccer party on the planet, who are the 10 most notable players to watch not named Messi and Ronaldo? Without further ado, here are the top names to remember this summer (in no particular order):
Neymar, 26, Brazil
Consider this the redemption tour for the young Brazilian star. Four years ago, he was last seen stretchered off the field in the quarterfinals against Colombia after taking a knee to the back in a nasty challenge by Camilo Zuniga. The ill-advised challenge resulted in a fractured vertebrae for Neymar, ending his first World Cup campaign. Brazil's next game without its bright star was a game no modern soccer fan will ever forget: A 7-1 home loss to Germany. Fast forward two years later and Neymar leads Brazil to its first-ever Gold Medal at the 2016 Rio Olympics. It's a nice consolation after a disappointing World Cup, but we all know that's not enough for a superstar that has been widely considered the next big thing in the world of soccer.
Neymar last summer left Lionel Messi and Barcelona to cash in with the Qatar-owned Paris Saint-Germain, a perennial championship contenders in France's top flight, to prove that he can step out of Messi's shadow and become one of the best players on the planet. After a dust-up with veteran striker Edinson Cavani (more on him below), his season was derailed due to a broken foot suffered in February. He finished with 28 goals in 30 club appearances for the Parisian club, and is now on the road to recovery and redemption this summer. Neymar scored in a friendly against Croatia in his first game back from injury, and at the age of 26, he already sits fourth on Brazil's all-time goalscoring list with 54 goals in 84 appearances, trailing only Romario (55), Ronaldo (62) and Pele (77). Brazil finished first in the South American World Cup qualifying and is considered one of the heavy favorites to hoist the trophy in mid-July. Can Neymar help the Selecao earn a record sixth star on its crest?
Mohamed Salah, 25, Egypt
All eyes are on the Egyptian Pharaoh as he races against the clock to return to fitness after suffering a nasty shoulder injury that ended his Champions League campaign in heartbreak for Liverpool. Mo Salah, who finished his club season with 44 goals in 52 appearances, suffered a dislocated shoulder in the Champions League final that could hold him out of at least the first group stage game for Egypt.
Thanks to Salah's efforts, the Egyptian national team booked a ticket to the World Cup for the first time in 28 years and just the third time overall. The team is grouped with host nation Russia, South American giants Uruguay and Saudi Arabia. Considering how top-heavy the Egyptian team is, this might be the only chance we get to see one of the best goalscorers and one of the fastest players in the sport on the international stage. And given his injury outlook, fans around the world might only be treated to 180 minutes worth of Salah in Russia if Egypt crashes out in the group stage.
Kevin De Bruyne, 26, Belgium
His Manchester City teammates have nicknamed him "The Prince," and if he manages to win the World Cup, he'll be considered Belgian royalty by his Red Devil supporters. Eden Hazard may be the face of the Belgian national team, but the distinctive red-haired De Bruyne is the brains of the operation.
American fans might remember that hairstyle four years ago when De Bruyne tore the hearts of U.S. national team by scoring in extra time to help Belgium advance to the quarterfinals where the Red Devils were eliminated by Argentina. He finished Brazil 2014 with one goal and two assists.
Don't expect him to be a prolific goalscorer his summer like Hazard or even Romelu Lukaku. KDB's game is all about his vision and the way he sets up his teammates with world-class passes. There are not many players that can read the field the way he can. It's why Belgium breezed its way into first place in the European qualifiers, winning nine of its 10 group stage matches and finishing the World Cup qualifying campaign with a plus-37 goal differential. Again, the Red Devils scored 43 goals and conceded six times in 10 qualifying matches. That's insane.
This is the golden generation of Belgian soccer and some people even view them as sleeper to reach World Cup glory. And De Bruyne seems to agree. Here's what he said in a March interview with the Mirror: "This is the best team in the history of Belgium. There are several players over 30. This is the time to profit. Only by wanting the first prize can you win the first prize."
Edinson Cavani, 31, and Luis Suarez, 31, Uruguay
When you talk about of Uruguay and its hopes of winning a third FIFA World Cup title (or a fifth world title, if you ask Uruguayan fans or take a glance at the four stars on the shirt crest), you think of these two players. You can't bring one up without the other. It's been a while since a defensive-oriented, grind-it-out team like Uruguay has had two prolific scorers. Edinson Cavani and Luis Suarez might be the best one-two punch on any World Cup roster.
Cavani, who was the victim of some unnecessary Neymar-filled drama this season at PSG, might be one of the most underrated strikers on the planet. He's been the author of back-to-back 40-plus-goal seasons for his club, all while leading South American qualifiers in goals scored with 10. And we're not even mentioning how valuable the long-haired, headband-wearing forward is to the team just based his ability to retreat and help out the midfield and defense from time to time.
As for Suarez, just like his former Barcelona teammate Neymar, this is a redemption tour. For many casual fans that only watch soccer during the World Cup, he was last spotted four years ago biting Italy defender Giorgio Chiellini before FIFA handed down a nine-match competitive international ban that spanned for more than a year. Since then, El Pistolero has scored 152 goals in 198 appearances over four years for Barcelona.
Consider the two Uruguayan forwards sleeper candidates to win the Golden Boot Award.
Paul Pogba, 25, and Antoine Griezmann, 27, France
There might not be another team that's as entertaining to watch as Les Bleus this summer. And that's all because of the joy (some might view it as tomfoolery) exhibited on the field by Paul Pogba and Antoine Griezmann, along with Kylian Mbappe, who is one of my under-the-radar players to watch in Russia.
Don't let what most pundits describe as immaturity -- or Pogba's hair color and dabbing -- distract you when you're watching these two play because they are flat-out ballers. Much like we discussed with KDB above, Pogba's game is all about his vision and helping out others on the field with his passes and dribbling displays. Griezmann, on the other hand, is line to be team's top scorer.
Both players help lead France to a second-place finish in the Euro 2016, with Griezmann scoring a tournament-best six goals and two assists, which was enough to earn Player of the Tournament and Golden Boot honors. Pogba left his mark with one goal in Brazil 2014 and in Euro 2016. If France, which is considered one of the top value picks to win it all by our SportsLine experts, wins a second title, it'll be because of the work these two youngsters as they try to make the World's Game fun again.
Harry Kane, 24, England
It's a World Cup year, which means we're all asking ourselves if this England team is actually legitimate contenders to win a second title. The answer to that question likely lies on the legs of one Harry Kane.
The Tottenham Hotspur striker and captain of the Three Lions will be shouldering expectations of a national team that failed to make it out of the group stage back in 2014. Kane was not part of that team, and in fact, had not even made a Premier League start until April of that year. Since then, he has risen into stardom as one of the most prolific goalscorers on the planet.
Don't let the "traditional center forward" critiques fool you, Kane is a great poacher but he can find the back of the net from long distance too. He's coming off a 41-goal campaign with the Spurs, so consider this a HurriKane warning, Russia.
David de Gea, 27, Spain
Goalkeepers barely get the praise they deserve. Being a goalkeeper is almost like being a garbage man. It's a high-paying job where you're tasked to sweep up all the mess and keep the neighborhood clean. You're sore and filthy when you come home and you barely get any recognition for your hard work. Not to mention, you're only called out when you miss an assignment.
Point being, there's a reason why David de Gea is on this list. He's widely regarded as one of the best goal-stoppers in the sport, not just because he's a brick wall between the goal posts, but because of his all-around skills. He can kick-start so many attacking opportunities with his precision passing and footwork. It's almost as if Spain has an extra defender behind its back line. During Spain's European qualifying campaign, de Gea notched seven clean sheets and only conceded three goals (against Italy, Israel and Macedonia) in 10 matches. Consider de Gea a heavy favorite win the Golden Glove Award at the end of the tournament.
Thomas Muller, 28, Germany
Thomas Muller will be representing Germany in the World Cup for the third time in his career, and he is only 28. Muller already sits eighth on the all-time World Cup goalscoring list, the highest among any active player, and only six behind his former teammate Miroslav Klose, who set the record in 2014.
The lanky Muller is not your prototypical goalscorer, but he's the type of player that seems to always be at the right place at the right time. In fact, he can basically play a variety of positions up front, depending on the formation. He only scored 15 goals in 45 appearances last season for Bayern Munich. It just seems like he's a different type of player anytime he suits up for Germany. Since winning the World Cup in 2014, Muller has scored 12 times in 28 international appearances.
It's scary to think that this German team might be even stronger than the 2014 squad that captured its fourth World Cup title, but Muller seems to be a believer. Here's what he said a week before the start of the tournament: "Individually, without a doubt [we are better]."
Honorable mention: James Rodriguez, Colombia; Robert Lewandowski, Poland; Kylian Mbappe, France; Manuel Neuer, Germany; Eden Hazard, Belgium; Philippe Coutinho, Brazil; Isco, Spain; Toni Kroos, Germany; Luka Modric, Croatia

Super Eagles midfielder, Oghenekaro Etebo says the team is making serious efforts to make amends for their poor results in friendlies with a good performance at the World Cup in Russia.
The former Warri Wolves star, who is expected to play a key role for Nigeria at the World Cup, said that the team is taking training session like a friendly games in a bid to improve on their performance in Russia.
"We are improving every day, and there is a room to improve.
''Every training session, like the friendly games, it is important for the team, it is important that we know our weakness. We are improving every day.''
Etebo breaks off from World Cup preparations to join City…
Meanwhile, Championship club Stoke City have announced the signing of the Nigeria international from Portuguese setup Feirense for a fee of 7.2 million euros.
The former Warri Wolves star has put pen to paper on a five-year deal that will keep him at the Potters until June 30, 2023.
Etebo spent the second half of last season on loan at Las Palmas but decided not to make the move permanent after they were demoted to the second tier of Spanish football.
''We are delighted Etebo has chosen to join Stoke City, becoming our first signing of the summer,'' Chief Executive Tony Scholes told Stoke City's official website.
''I'm particularly pleased that he took the time to look beyond our current league status and understand who we are as a club before choosing us ahead of current Premier League and Bundesliga clubs."
Manager Gary Rowett added: ''We're really excited to have got the deal over the line for Etebo. I'm looking forward to seeing him in a Stoke City shirt as I'm sure our supporters are too.''
The 22-year-old was a second half substitute in Nigeria's 2-1 loss to England in a pre-World Cup friendly staged at Wembley on June 2.

Using plastic in your wedding
There has been a lot of talk surrounding the ecological disasters that have been caused due to plastic. At such a time in our world, it is necessary to reuse plastics in all ways to decrease the toxicity of rubber and plastic in our environment. The world will greatly benefit from the strategic recycling of plastic waste and waste products by using them constructively to create newer benefits.
In almost all walks of life, people are finding new and innovative methods to contribute positively to the environment. Occasions and events are no exception to this movement. Weddings are significant milestones in most lives and can touch the hearts of all the guests and family members present. In such a situation, it is crucial to ensure the reuse of plastic and wisely contribute to reducing waste in the surrounding environs.
Let us look at ways in which you can use plastic sheets in your wedding to make it look ultra-luxurious and beautiful, yet keep within the current purview of recycling.
Bespoke wedding cake toppers:
Wedding cake toppers have been edibles in the past, and while this is a beautiful way to add to the beauty of the cake, it is also not something that you can preserve and reuse for later (maybe for a loved one's wedding). Wedding cake toppers in a variety of fonts, sizes, colors, and patterns can be furnished from old plastic to create an elegant design on your wedding cake said an acrylic sheet supplier.
Cake toppers with Mr. and Mrs., a dancing couple, a pair of interlinked hands, or photographs with the bride and groom can also be made from plastic and kept either as a memory of the wedding or as a memento that can be passed to your loved ones, and eventually, your children.
Table decoration:
Personalized table decorations in colorful flowers, bespoke vases, clear bottles, and transparent name holders can be made from plastics. You could also opt for plastic table setting place cards with guest names engraved on them for a unique, yet intimate touch to your wedding. Plastic is cheaper than metal and getting these engraved on metal could cost you much money, in comparison to getting plastic ones made.
You could also opt for table numbers in a variety of designs, fonts, themes, or colors with the photographs of your guests (to be seated) at that table. A beautiful mosaic of disjointed photos surrounding the table number would also make a unique table setting that can make your wedding table a hit.
Name plaques with personalized messages for guests, the bride's name or the groom's name would make fantastic additions to your wedding party. You could also make plastic plaques for food and drink counters, a transparent menu card plaque, or save the date plaques to send to your nearest and dearest.
Wedding invitations:
Clear wedding invitations are a new rage. Gone are the days of using old cardboard and paper. The latest trend is to use clear plastic invitations with delicately engraved designs that look like an embossed script in a slightly darker color. Transparent backdrops and light or dark see-through colors can also add to the luxurious look of your wedding invites.
You can customize your invites with borders, floral accents, differently colored scripts, varied fonts, and dazzling gold and silver inlays to add to the glamour factor of your wedding. You could also make transparent covers as part of your wedding theme.
Wedding favors:
Plastic wedding favors are long-lasting and look very beautiful. You can have personalized stationery, writing pads, writing instruments, ties, napkin holders, plastic cutlery, thank you cards, and so on in plastic to make a unique impression on your guests. You could also make small mentions of the people who have helped you the most to bring the wedding together and distribute them to wedding guests.
Bridesmaids gifts:
Thank your bridesmaids and maid of honor with specialized accessories made from plastic. Plastic accessories like hair clips, rings, bracelets, and so on can be made to look uber chic. Since the material is plastic, these gifts will be memorable and long-lasting.
Plastic party supplies:
Several good looking premium-quality plastic supplies look gorgeous. Not only are these supplies durable, but they can also be reused. Dinnerware and dinner sets by the dozen or the kilogram can be rented for the day or a few days. Plates, cups, glasses, champagne flutes, wine goblets, whiskey tumblers, tablecloths, cutlery, and so on look very elegant.
Tackling Hair Loss for the Big Day
You want to look good for you wedding day. That goes without saying. Not only is your fiancée going to be staring deep into your eyes, you're going to be stood in front of your friends and family. Not to mention the thousands of wedding photos that are going to be taken.
So if you are worried about hair loss, then you should start doing something about it now!
There are plenty of different treatments out there on the market, it just depends how much time you have and how much money you want to spend.
In this article, we will be comparing the different treatments so that you can find the perfect one. Also if hair loss isn't your only problem and you suffer from acne. Consider getting a good face wash for acne to tackle breakouts.
Hair Loss Shampoo
This is probably the first step on your journey to regrowing your hair. If you've got plenty of time before the wedding to experiment, then get a well-reviewed hair shampoo and see if it works for you. Hair-loss shampoos work by utilising ingredients – like caffeine, biotin, ketoconazole and saw-palmetto – that stimulate hair growth. Results vary depending on the product you choose. Proven products are Ultrax Labs Hair Surge and Nizoral A-D Anti-Dandruff Shampoo.
Medical Treatments For Hair Loss
Using a medical treatment for hair loss is a great way to start your journey. If your wedding is a while away you have time to try a few different treatments, before you go for an extreme option. Here are the two main medications available in the UK –
Propecia (Finasteride) – Treats male pattern baldness by blocking an enzyme that converts testosterone to DHT. DHT is one of the causes of baldness and by blocking it, hair growth is often resumed. It is shown to be very effective and only takes 3 months for it to start to show an improvement. Perfect if you have time before the big day to try a few treatments. You can buy propecia online from regulated pharmacies such as pilldoctor.co.uk.
Rogaine (Minoxidil) – This hair treatment increases the growth phase of the hair follicle cycle, which improves the quality of hair by increasing the length and width of the miniaturizing hairs. It takes about one year to see the full effect and as soon as you stop using the treatment, the hair you have grown during the year will fall out. It's known to not be as effective as Propecia and won't grow hair on a bald scalp.
Hair Transplant Surgery
One of the most famous methods of treating hair loss is hair transplant surgery. This is the process of removing healthy hair follicles from other parts of the body (normally other parts of the head) and replacing them onto the affected area. A normal surgery involves around 3000 grafts and takes around 4 hours. After the surgery patients will have to take pain medication and sometimes antibiotics to reduce the risk of infection. Results will start to show 3-6 months after the surgery, so if you are considering this option then it is better to get it booked in early. As a treatment, hair transplant surgery is shown to be very effective, but you pay for those results with prices around £3000 to £10,000 depending on how many grafts are required.
Hair Loss Pens
Also known as microneedling, hair loss pens actually puncture the scalp and cause tiny surface wounds. The body then works to repair these wounds and in the process releases HGF and other chemicals which stimulate hair growth. This is one of the more painful options and will cause the treated area to go red immediately after treatment. It's also not that thoroughly tested. Microneedling has been used on other parts of the body to improve skin condition, but it is quite new as a hair loss treatment. It can be expected to show results after 2-3 months.
Platelet Rich Transplant (PRP)
A platelet rich transplant is a non-surgical procedure that uses the plasma in the blood from other parts of the body to stimulate hair growth on the treated area. Plasma is a component of the blood that has healing properties. Blood is taken from the patients and centrifuged to separate the plasma which is then injected or infused into the patient's head. This is a relatively safe and effective treatment. It can take up to 10 sessions of this treatment, with results starting to show after the 4th treatment. If you have a year before your wedding, this could be the perfect treatment for you. It is also recommended that this treatment is used in conjunction with medications like Rogaine (Minoxidil) or Propecia (Finasteride) to show maximum results.
Wedding Ring Metals
Once you've decided on the date of the wedding and have shortlisted a few wedding venues, you should decide on your wedding rings. Many couples opt for traditional gold wedding bands while some like to look at different options. Gold and platinum aren't the only metals you need to choose from, there are now a plethora of options available in the market that can be fitted to your specifications. The same applies to the engagement ring – don't settle for the first option you see. If you're unhappy with the ring, you could ask for it to be set in a metal of your choice.
While making your selection, always pay close attention to the durability, cost, sturdiness, look, and feel of the metal. Let us see some traditional and contemporary metals available for wedding rings today. Liam from Millenio agreed "This is why buying online may not be the best option, seeing the ring in person you can get a true feel."
Gold is a traditional metal that has been used in wedding rings and bands for generations. An extremely versatile metal, it is also the most common one. Measured in karats, Gold is divided into strengths based on the percentage of gold used in the setting of the ring. 24 karat gold (purest gold) is too soft to directly hold shape. It is mixed with other metal alloys as a percentage to make it sturdier to hold shape and stones. The percentage and type of gold used determines the color and shade of gold.
It comes in three popular types:
- Yellow Gold: Yellow Gold is the traditional favorite for wedding rings. It gets its yellow color from gold mixed with the greenish hue of silver and the red of copper. Many couples prefer yellow gold above all other metals.
- White Gold: White gold is a beautiful contemporary take on yellow gold. It is silver in appearance and gets its unique color from a mix of yellow gold, zinc, palladium, and copper. White gold is usually plated with rhodium to preserve it from scratching and bending.
- Rose Gold: Rose gold is pinkish in color and gets its coloring from yellow gold and a copper alloy. Romantic in appearance, rose gold is soon surpassing yellow gold to become a popular choice amongst trendy brides as a metal for wedding rings.
With a soft white appearance, platinum is shiny, beautiful, and more expensive than gold. Extremely hard, platinum does not oxidize or tarnish easily. Platinum is known for its durability and is an excellent metal to hold stones in. Since platinum rings do not undergo regular wear and tear, they are excellent heirloom pieces that can be passed on to future generations. Delicate work, embellishment, and engraving always look better with platinum.
Sterling Silver:
Sterling silver is the most affordable of metals for wedding rings. It is a mix of pure silver with copper or other metals that make sterling silver more durable. Harder than pure silver, sterling silver tends to get scratched or bent easily. It ranges in color from bright to greyish white. You can also have it finished in shiny or matte based on your preference. Sterling silver needs special care so that it doesn't wear down easily. Wedding rings made in silver are also easier to maintain than gold and platinum since they are easily resizable and you can get the stones changed as per your wish. Make sure you get the right angle when taking pictures of your silver ring to catch the reflection, if in the area try a Brighton Wedding Photographer.
Titanium is slowly gaining popularity since it is strong and does not easily tarnish at room temperature. Titanium is a non-toxic metal that has hypo-allergenic qualities. This makes it a sought-after metal for people with sensitive skin conditions. It has a slightly dark color as compared to other rings and is extremely light on the hand. Almost infallible, regular wear will not spoil it as much as sterling silver and gold. To clean, wash with a mild soapy solution and wipe off with a soft cloth. Titanium rings also look beautiful with stones and as traditional wedding bands.
Whatever your choice of wedding ring metal, ensure it resonates with you and your partner. Many couples prefer alternative metals like sterling silver, platinum, and titanium to traditional yellow gold. Store your wedding rings properly when not in use and get them checked regularly to ensure proper upkeep and care.
Shopping For A Wedding Gown With Mum
We all agree that Mums know best but does this hold true when it comes to choosing a wedding gown? Think again. Some wedding experts point out that your mum may have different views and may stick to what is traditional. Even if you agree with her, consider your entourage who will be taking on the same theme as yours. The bottom line is shop with someone else who can be more objective.
Wedding Gowns: Comfort Is As Critical As Style
Beautiful weddings are every girl's dream but often times, there's too much on fashion and style. Don't leave out comfort. You should be at ease when donning that gown. After all, you'll be in it for hours. Make sure that the boning gives you elbow room to breathe. When trying the gown on, stand up, sit down, kneel, and bend. By doing so, you know that you'll be comfortable in any stance.
Church Weddings: What You Need To Know
Weddings in England have different requirements versus those in Scotland. In England and Wales, you need parental consent when you are 17 years of age. In Scotland, consent isn't required but you should have two adults as witnesses. In Northern Ireland, there are requisites on residency for those arranging a church wedding. Do some research beforehand. The Church where you are tying the knot may present issues which you're not prepared to tackle.
Decorating For The Big Day
The church, apart from the entertainment and dining area, will have to be prepped up before your wedding. So consult your vicar when planning for decorations. Does the church approve of decorating the entire area? Some churches will have specific places where you can't put décor. Even confetti is sometimes restricted or has limitations of use. Do research to avoid unwelcome surprises. After all, it's your big day and you can make it hassle-free. Consider a nice kitchen bin to ensure that your wedding remains clean and tidy.

Everyone wants to consider their best. As well as the skin is you need to that people notice about you, so that it must be sorted correctly.

Looking healthy and attractive is everyone's dream, no matter age group. Since lifestyle and skincare contribute a significant to your looks, here's some advice to remember.
Curled lashes can you can make your eyes look bigger and brighter. Instead of using your eyelash curler just once per eye, hold the curler closed on the lashes for fifteen only a few. Repeat this step on each eye three separate times - once each for the base, middle, and tips of seo eyelashes.

your connected with motivation. If one makes sure to obtain some exercise at outline through the day, planning get your blood flowing and help you more energized and stimulated.
Curl your lashes, or apply dramatic spidery false eyelashes -. Apply auburn shadow as liner along your lashes. Allow these smudge slightly for a soft, romantic look. Apply an iridescent, white powder shadow with the lids very much as the brow bone.
First off, you want to apply an eye fixed base. Ought to important to keep your eyelids oil-free for virtually any longer lasting make up. Just dab just a little amount at the lids, subsequently rub it in small circles. An individual are done, apply your eyeliner in the upper minimizing silk lash extensions perth (
) outlines. You can use black, brown or gray.
Apply a moisturizer as a result light before putting an imitation tan onto the skin. A fake tan will collect on spots of one's skin that dry. You'll want to make sure you ones own to your feet, elbows, knees and around your wrists. Apply lotion to the telltale areas before you apply a fake tanner.
In this example, the owner had the very best of intentions. He believed how the past-due rent installments were "money the actual bank" from when they were to be paid from an upcoming settlement. In reality, he cut off his income while his expenses continued on. Within the above example, let's think that the tenant really a new settlement beginning to him. That do you think will be paid first of all? The landlord, who has been patient enough to wait patiently for four months for payment; and also electric company who's threatening to let down the power, the bank who's threatening to repossess the car, or his court-ordered child support, the payment that will keep him out of jail?
You have the tools, the products, and also the skill set, to create the following tips inside an desirable manner. Fabulous! These suggestions have been constructed to supplement your own private regimen, given that you are not done studying or improving.

My 5 year old GSD has had some bumps that look like grapefruit skin under her nose. Just last week our 1 year old GSD got a pink round bump right above his nose. Could these be dog warts. Because they both have them, I kind of think so.
Dear Cynthia,
I think you should bring your dogs to your veterinarian to have the bumps checked. The bumps could be ticks. I try to protect dogs from having ticks attach because disease can be transmitted if ticks are attached for very long.
Best regards,
Dr. Char www.vetionx.com

Welcome to the weekend, and our roundup of the best mental health and gaming articles you may have missed. The big news this week is that gaming addiction has been called into question, but there's a lot more to read about keeping our communities, and ourselves, healthy.
Gaming addiction probably isn't a real condition, study suggests
"The manual suggests that people suspected of suffering from gaming disorder must fulfil five or more criteria from a list of nine that include: lying about time spent gaming; jeopardising jobs, careers or education because of participation in gaming; and using gaming to relieve anxiety. They must also feel distress over their gaming habits for a – yet to be defined – period of time. To investigate the potential prevalence of the disorder based on these criteria, Netta Weinstein at Cardiff University, UK, and her colleagues used a nationally representative sample informed by US census data to identify 2316 people over the age of 18 who regularly play games online."
While headlines about this study have been a bit overstated — a single study can't prove that Internet gaming disorder doesn't exist — the results are certainly interesting. They show that gaming may not be the cause of distress for people who otherwise meet the criteria of Internet gaming disorder, but rather a symptom of other issues or causes of unhappiness. New Scientist has more.
Different as they are, Supergiant's games all explore tolerance and the ways we we deal with disaster
"Supergiant's three games all helped me consider the role of the individual and our relationships with each other in different ways. They made me see how hard it can be to challenge your own perceptions and how this can only work if we try to stay open-minded. They made me see how the wrong decision can seem like the right thing to do and how easy running from consequences rather than accepting them can look."
Overwhelmingly, games about disasters and apocalypses are about how we'll turn on each other more than they're about how we'll be there for each other. This PC Gamer article explores how beneficial it can be to see different takes on disaster and the end of the world, and how the games of Supergiant increasingly fill that role.
A streaming marathon made it easy to treat my body like garbage
"Previously, I figured it was a matter of priorities—that building healthy habits around streaming simply came down to mind over matter. Forgive me, for I was an incorrect doofus. The biggest thing I learned while streaming for tens of bleary-eyed hours this weekend is just how easy (and even tempting) it is to just shoo away those pesky hunger, ache, and exhaustion signals your body sends you."
Over at Kotaku, Nathan Grayson opens up about a weekend Wolfenstein binge that taught him that slipping into excessive, dangerous streaming marathons isn't always obvious when you're in the midst of one. It's a strong argument for setting firm limits on our streaming time.
The physical glass ceiling: When the Git Gud mentality turns ableist
"When it comes to ableism, it's important to remember that physical limitation goes beyond a person's struggle with certain forms of movement. The issues that affect cognitive performance are not limited to temporary, easily-adjustable problems like fatigue and hunger—they, too, are physical. Studies show that many of the forms of mental performance issues can be tied back to minor brain damage inflicted by neglect and abuse sustained during infancy and childhood, including limited attention span, difficulties with sensory perception, or impaired response times, variables key to playing games. Sometimes, when we mock people's videogame skills, we're actually mocking their trauma. And that's without even getting into how genetics and class play a factor."
A lot of digital ink has been spilled on the topic of game difficulty and gatekeeping in recent weeks, but Holly Green's take for Paste is an important one. When we prioritize technical skill over people, we shoulder out a lot of folks who have every right to be part of the video game community. Not to draw arbitrary lines around who's allowed to be "bad" at video games, but it's necessary to remember that for a lot of people, video game skill can't be achieved just by trying harder or practicing more.
And with that, we're off. We'll be back next week with more great stories from the worlds of mental health and gaming. Until then, take care of yourselves — and each other.

The Opel Insignia OPC received a tuning program from German aftermarket specialists MR Car Design. At a fist look you can say it is a supercar from the side because it was lowered a lot to the ground. Things are not as they look because the tuner offered an adjustable air suspension from Reil Performance. It runs on 20-inch alloy wheels. The new improved OPC sedan received some upgrades engine-wise. Now it is powered by a 2.8-liter turbo V6 capable of developing 325 PS. With a little effort, because of an ECU remap and a new exhaust plus intake system, the OPC is now capable of developing 375 PS and 495 Nm of torque. Even if the work of MR Car Design was not very well received so far, because they have chosen a good car, things changed.

The IEEE 802.1X standard is a relatively recent protocol enhancement that creates a standard for how authentication is performed over an 802 standards-based network. It improves scalability and security of wireless LAN authentication, and allows for the use of multiple authentication mechanisms as needed.
With a typical wired Ethernet LAN, the moment your station is added to the network, you have access to the wire. You may or may not be able to do much on the network if you dont authenticate yourself to your organizations domain controller, but you can usually sniff the raw packets that are reaching your network adapter. With a typical dial-up networking connection, the situation is different, because PPP requires that you authenticate yourself to a server before you can connect via the network. You have to provide a user ID and password (or other authentication) to the network youre dialing into, before youre allowed access to the network. No password = no packets.
Wireless networking follows the wired networking model above, rather than the dial-up networking model. If you have physical access to a connection (which in the wireless case means a wireless networking card that can communicate using the same technology as a particular wireless network access point), you can access its raw packets. In the 802.11b case, an attacker can parlay their ability to sniff packets from a wireless network, into the ability to connect to it, because it is possible to break the weak encryption typically used on 802.11b if you obtain a large enough sample of packets. This will be discussed in more detail, in section 2.6. The flaws in the attempts at communication privacy in 802.11b make additional layers of security valuable.
Another reason to want to authenticate wireless users before allowing them to connect to your network is that you might always want to be able to identify whos on a particular network connection. In the wired world, that tends to be easy to do, because physical connections tend to be assigned to individual offices and work areas. In contrast, multiple users can connect to a given wireless access point, just by walking up to the area in which it is located, carrying a machine with a compatible network adapter. They might perform a network action that identifies them, like logging in to a network to reach a data file stored on a file server. But then again, they might opt to just surf the Internet anonymously.

Report on my short trips to Croatia in spring 2007
Before I will start with my reports, here a short climpse on the patchwork distribution on reptiles in the Quarner region
Especially the islands show a herp distribution, which is not explainable in contrast to the distribution on the mainland around the islands.Some examples:
The Montpellier snake, Malpolon insignitus fuscus lives on the whole mainland around, including the islands Cres and Losinj, but is absent from Krk and Rab.
The Western Whip Snake, Hierophis (viridiflavus) carbonarius has - within the area, written about here - nearly the same distribution as Malpolon, lives at Krk and Rab, but is missing on Cres and Losinj.
In Istria and on the islands Cres and Losinj the Western Green Lizard, Lacerta bilineata is living, but absent from Krk and Rab.
The Giant Green Lizard, Lacerta trilineata is distributed on the last two islands, named before, but absent from Cres and Losinj and not found in Istra.
The Tessellated snake (Dicesnake), Natrix tessellata is found on the whole mainland around, but not on the islands.There are some spottings from Cres and Krk (from the last one even a photo), but all these could be escaped or released individuals.
The same for Malpolon. Also this snake has been spotted at Krk. I have taken a picture from a road killed in spring 1998. But also these may be introduced specimens.
Vipera ammodytes, the long nosed viper, is distributed in the whole region with the exceptions Cres and Losinj.
The Wall Lizard, Podarcis muralis is found in the whole region also, but not on the islands, Krk, Rab and Pag.
These are only a few examples on patchwork distribution in the region. Maybe, some species have colonized the whole region, but there have been in intraspecific concurrence and one species disappeared (for example: Malpolon - Hierophis viridiflavus. It is said, these two species don´t live together in the same "place").
Here an overview map of the region.
Istria: Friday, April 6th till Eastermonday, April 9th, 2007
Satellite picture with some of the localities visited
|Friday, April 6th, 2007:
At 2 a.m. we (Hannes Hill, Ivonne and I) started in Salzburg. Via Villach (Austria), Udine, Trieste (Italy) we drove to Rovinj at the west coast of Istria (Croatia). There we arrived around 8 in the morning.
So the weather was very fine , we had the hope to see many amphibians and reptiles during the next days.
Our first stop was at the ruined town Dvigrad, left in the 14th century after most people have died from Black Death.
Algyroides nigropunctatus
|During the late morning we searched on the hills in the surroundings of Dvigrad.
There we observed Podarcis siculus and melisellensis, Lacerta bilineata, Hierophis (viridiflavus) carbonarius, the slow worm Anguis fragilis an a subadult long nose viper Vipera ammodytes.

|Saturday, April 7th, 2007:
|At this day we went down along the west coast south of Rovinj.
Close to the Sv. Pavao bay there is a small wetland. Here I saw Podarcis melisellensis, the european glass lizard Pseudopus apodus and a swimming Dice snake Natrix tessellata.

|Around noon we drove to Pula. On the way we stopped at an extensiv used cultivated area. Here we saw the european tree frog Hyla arborea, Lacerta bilineata and a baby Vipera ammodytes.
|In Pula we met Franz Rathbauer.
In the amphitheatre and also on the old townwall Podarcis muralis maculiventris is living.

|Sunday, April 8th, 2007:
|Sunday was the day we drove to the east coast of Istria.
Via Zminj and Barban we went to Labin. Before reaching Barban we stopped at an illegal trash deposit, a very good place to find amphibians and reptiles in normal circumstances.
Between Paleurus spina-christi and Juniperus oxycedrus bushes were lots of shelfs, metalsheets and cemento asbestos sheets. But only 3 slow worms and 1 Podarcis melisellensis, although 7 people have been searching for nearly one hour.
At Most Rasa we crossed the Rasa river. In and around the river and also along the channels only a few Pelophylax balcanicus.

|From Labin we drove to the coast at Ravni.In a not used garden anymore, we observed Lacerta bilineata and Algyroides nigropunctatus.

|From the coast we went to the hills westwards. At the village Skavranska there is a small pond close to the road. There common newts, Lissotriton vulgaris meridionalis have been marrying at the time.

|More west we stopped again in the carstic hills.
Podarcis melisellensis, Lacerta bilineata and Vipera ammodytes have been found.

|Next place the Ubac peninsula has been.
Direct on the coastal rocks Podarcis melisellensis, Hierophis (viridiflavus) carbonarius and Vipera ammodytes are living.

|Monday, April 9th, 2007:
|Day of driving home.
From Rovinj along Zminj and Potpican to the Cepicko polje. A former swampy area, today completely dry. Only the small river Boljunscica and a few channels are running trough this extrem high and intensive used farm land.
Therefore just a few specimens. 3 or 4 Pelophylax balcanicus and one Lissotriton v. meridionalis. On a bridge over the Boljunscica river some Podarcis muralis muralis could have been seen.
At the eastern edge, in a ditch, my collegues observed the western grass snake, Natrix natrix helvetica.
Hannes and I were searching on the slopes nearby and observed Podarcis melisellensis, Lacerta bilineata, Hierophis (viridiflavus) carbonarius, Hierophis gemonensis and Vipera ammodytes.

|Although we have been in Istria just for 4 days, and none of us have known the area very well, we could have been very satisfied with all the herps found.
I´ve been in Istria at the beginning of the eighties and in the early nineties again. I was very surprised of all the changes happened (larger villages, campingareas, loss of ditches and ponds, cultivated areas). Especially the Cepicko polje I could not recongnize anymore.
Krk island: Tuesday, May 15th till sunday, May 20th, 2007
|This short trip was decided to have a look, beside watching the herpetofauna, to the landscape, villages and towns. It should be a short vacation too.
Some of our team never have been on the island, others knew only some parts of it.
So we spent about two hours in the morning and afternoon for searching herps. The rest of the time we visited cultural spots or have been "hanging around".
|Tuesday, May 15th, 2007:
Leaving Salzburg, together with Günter Prem from the reptile zoo in Salzburg at 7:00 a.m.
At 6:30 p.m. my friends from Switzerland, Anita and Alain Aegerter arrived.
|Wednesday, May 16th, 2007:
The first excursion this morning brought us to the middleage church Sv. Kresan in the western part of the island. There we saw Podarcis siculus, Algyroides nigropunctatus, Hierophis gemonensis and Vipera ammodytes. In two ditches nearby Pelophylax balcanicus, the Balkan waterfrog and the Grass snake Natrix natrix.
During late morning we drove to the central part of the island. In the sunny oak forest we found European Glass Lizards, Pseudopus apodus, the Black Whip Snake, Hierophis carbonarius, Balkan Whip Snake, Hierophis gemonensis, tortoises Eurotestudo hercegovinensis, the Longnosed Viper Vipera ammodytes and Slow Worms, Anguis fragilis.

|During afternoon the others, Alfred Wallner from Carinthia, and the rest of the "Salzburg tortoise/turtle group", Walter Erlachner, Sabine and Robert Niederhuber arrived
|Thursday, May 17th, 2007:
In the morning we drove the roads Krk - Punat - Vrbnik - Ponikve - Cizici.
In a pond north of Punat we saw beside one European Pond Turtle two Red Eared Sliders. This species seems to become more frequent from year to year (released by Croatian people, but also by tourists). There´s much fear, Trachemys will aid to the decline of the native turtle. Not so much by food resources, but the much larger sliders bar the Emys to rest on sunplaces. But this places are very important for thermoregulation and to completely dry up there shells (reductance of algae, ectoparasites etc.).
Along an aisle nearby we observed the four lined rat snake, Elaphe quatuorlineata, the Giant Green Lizard, Lacerta trilineata, Hierophis gemonensis and Vipera ammodytes. This is one of the few places on the island, both Podarcis species, P. siculus campestris and P. melisellensis live syntop together.
At the Ponikve lake, beside many Grass Snakes, Natrix natrix, we saw thousends of fresh metamorphosed Common toads, Bufo bufo spinosus. It was hard to do a step without scrunching some.
In the afternoon we visited the ruin church Sv. Marak on a small peninsula at the east coast of the island. Under stones Anguis fragilis and Lacerta trilineata

|Friday, May 18th, 2007:
Early in the morning we visited a small pond at the Prniba peninsula between the town Krk and Punat. On top of a rusty barrel two European Pond Turtles were basking.
So, beside the herpetofauna I´m interested in the Flora too, I spent a lot of time making pictures of blooming orchids.

|Saturday, May 19th, 2007:
|The morning tour brought us to the extreme north of the island. There we searched within the Macchia north and east of the airport.
It has been windy again. Therefore only Podarcis melisellensis and Lacerta trilineata outside. Under rocks and trash Hierophis carbonarius and H. gemonensis, one each and some Vipera ammodytes.

In 1989 I had my first dance lesson and started competing in Country Dance. As I worked on my dance skills over the next 7 years or so, I made wonderful friends, grew as a person, started concentrating mostly on East and West Coast Swings, learned how to teach dance, and was fortunate enough to have wonderful dance partners. My last and best was Bart McJunkin, who always kept a sense of humor and desire to have fun which kept ensured that dance was always a great pleasure and addiction. We spent a large portion of our time improving our skills by dancing to the kinds of music we enjoyed most, dancing and playing to Blues and Classic Rock.
In addition to Country, East and West Coast Swing, I also learned a little bit of Hustle and Latins though I am still terribly beginner level at the Latin dances.
In 1996, I started up a publication called "What's Shakin!" to let everyone know where all the dance opportunities were in Spokane, WA and in the region. It was alot of fun and took off with a life of it's own. At the time, I had NO idea how to work with web pages, so space was limitted. In late October of this 1997, I started learning about web pages and now I'm thoroughly addicted to it and now have only the restrictions of time to hold me back on what I can do here (maniacal laugh)
1996 also brought about more dance growth in the Spokane area when Robert, Vicki, Bart and I started the Spokane Swing Dance Club which is going strong, bringing in many new dancers and bringing the Spokane Dance community together. Words can not express just how much everyone in the club means to me and how they enriched my life.
In July of 1997 I left Spokane and currently live in Southern California where I intend to get involved in the dance community soon.

Hello All,
It time again to to do one of the most daunting task of them all .False praising a fellow Marbleite. As all of us are aware of the fact that the Mr.NSD is getting married,its time to highlight his life as we have seen it. Except for Superman's ability to fly, this person has most of the superheroes characteristics imbibed in him. I met this fellow in KPP (this used to be our initial hostel in Chengannur). Ajeesh and Suresh used to bring him along for their daily puff along with Thampi. He was a sort of person who started his career by pulling thampi sir and attained great heights in this endeavor. All embarrassing stories which he encountered would be effortlessly stamped on thampis or ajeeshs name. I do remember during one of the times when I did not know him much that he came to kpp and was saying some joke(pj) and I tried my best not to laugh coz I was not so sure what this big person was about but eventually I had to find my way and go the washroom and left out laughing. I think the ice was broken then:) Then Marbles happened and the silliest tale of them all "Brahmachaarithram". Even though he proclaimed himself as following the path of Sainthood,he was normally found somewhere with lots of females surrounding him. Might be just a coincidence;). He had already inculcated good habits such as drinking, smoking, playing cards(he was and still is In love with 28). His antics in college were nothing short of histronics; getting on stage with Superman costume, create scripts and enacting for dramas which only a select few among the masses will understand, buying Balloons from the general hospital with some fictious name (I think it was Akram Khan), solling with teachers, getting down with sony in every railway station and act like they are parting, fighting with Chotta Mithun in Changannaserry bus stand (Mithun was acting like the professor who was not giving internals to NSD), getting people with synonymous names beaten up (Read Poo), etc etc etc Boy if this wasn't Brahmacharitram then I really don't have any clue as to what it would be??? He has redefined the word to such an extent that I am really beginning to doubt what the word actually stands for. I might needs to ask the Oxford dictionary people to create one more synonym for the term.
Its not that this person so outrageous as I make him out to be since he does have quite a huge fan following. He reminds me of those cute little Teddy Bears which we see in the super markets and always wish to buy and cuddle. Tender and caring would best describe him. Standing by your friends no matter what the situation is something which I am not sure I am good at but one thing I am sure is that this person is. One event which comes to my mind was during our shred days(onam time). We were fooling around and some fellow from other college was acting in a way which me and Sudeep did not like. We mentioned it to NSD and he actually went and taunted that person. The furore which erupted after that we all remember and the TKM fellows brought a huge gathering and blocked him. I remember Tobby and Suresh running to help but me and Sudeep who actually caused the problem did not go to help coz fear had gripped us both. Its something which I have never been proud of and for which I have never asked forgiveness from NSD so here goes. I am really sorry NSD that I never came even though you did it for us and if ever (God Forbid) a situation ever rises, I will be there and that I Promise .
The other incident is when Ajeesh got mangled on stage during arts festival and I recall the rage in NSD's eyes that day. He did not allow the lateness of the hour deter him and found his way to the juniors' den and gave them a sound thrashing. There only few people who cannot bear the sight of their friends being hurt in any way and NSD's one of them. You really need a whole lot of luck to have him as one of your friends and well I guess we all have been blessed with that.
I am really happy that he has finally found the person who he is going to share his life with. As time goes on we need to share our life with that someone special and by Gods grace he has found one. I am sad I wont be able to be part of this wonderful event but I would like the marble boys to enjoy that extra bit for me, John and Sony also.
So with a heavy heart and with lots and lots of prayers,I on behalf of the MarbleBrats and all Your Friends Pray that You will lead a cherished life with Smitha and live Happily Ever After.

Top 5 Tips for Using Stainless Steel Tool Wrap Correctly
Tool wrapping successfully replaces working with tools in a controlled environment like that of a special furnace, which is laborious and very costly. It provides a highly efficient surface protection, but only when employed as it's meant to. When using stainless steel tool wrap, you will be happy to have minimized losses and made the most of your investment. Here are 5 tips to guarantee your success:
- Choose your steel grade and temperature rating correctly
It's important to check what grade of steel wraps you are dealing with and how much heat they can handle. Otherwise, you risk damaging the foil and compromising your work if the applied temperature is too high. See what the distributor says about the type of steel and the range of applications you can use it with.
- Create an airtight package
You need to wrap the part to be heated like in an airtight envelope. To draw out as much air as possible, you may carefully manipulate it to eliminate air. Watch out for any tears or holes. To avoid this and eliminate the oxygen inside, it's best to place a burning ember inside this envelope – it will consume more of the oxygen that's left, thus creating a more suitable atmosphere.
- Create a vent
This may be counter-intuitive, but it's a necessary measure in order to prevent foil tearing. When heated, the air inside the package dilates and can damage the wrap. The vent must be no bigger than 5 mm.
- How to handle components with sharp edges
Sharp edged components will give you more trouble. To form a reliable wrap, you should be using two foils. This double wrapping ensures the parts harden as needed, but you may also need to increase the temperature.
- When to choose tool wrap steel
Tool steel wrapping is suitable to many industries and countless applications. However, when you have steel that hardens in water or oil, you should consider other options. Steel tool wraps are usually recommended for air hardening.
Always use foil made to resist the heating temperatures you'll be using. Otherwise, it will be damaged. Nickel based allows work best with the highest of temperatures.

New Technology To Treat Diabetics -Dissolvable Microneedle patch2018-07-07 11:22
China is a large country with a large population of people with diabetes. In particular, type 2 diabetes accounts for 90% of the total number of diabetic patients. There are countless sugar friends in China who test their blood sugar at least four times a day, often under insulin and dieting. The final result is still only controllable.
Now the National Institutes of Health has developed a new substance "dissolvable microneedle patch." Automatically manage glucose. For the treatment of type 2 diabetes. The study found that the chemicals in the patch can interact in the blood and can regulate blood glucose for several days at a time.
Most diabetics continuously monitor their blood glucose every day. Stinging their fingers before meals, checking blood sugar, and registering insulin. Although uncomfortable, they are an indispensable procedure. Now we have "dissolvable microneedle patch". This compound can interact in the blood and regulate blood sugar by itself.
In tests on mice, it was confirmed that the biochemical formula of dissolvable microneedle patch can produce a chemical reaction to the blood and achieve automatic glucose management.
Greatly eased the pain that Diabetes patients had to detect blood glucose at all times.
In addition, patients with type 2 diabetes often need insulin to compensate for their own insulin deficiency. However, this approach is only a stalling tactics and cannot cure. It can only be controlled. And the effect varies from person to person. And there are 285 million diabetics in the world, 90% of whom have type 2 diabetes. The lack of effective treatment means that the lives of nearly 300 million people worldwide are not guaranteed.
Researchers are now investigating alternative therapies for the use of painless skin patches for type 2 diabetes.
The team tested the idea on mice. Test results were found. This method can effectively stimulate the production of mouse's own insulin, so that the blood glucose concentration can reach normal. And can meet the needs of the mice themselves for a few days.
So the researchers said: A painless skin patch is a major breakthrough in managing blood sugar levels in type 2 diabetes.
Research indicates: A half-inch square patch contains enough drugs to control blood sugar levels in rats for a week.
But for use on humans, we need to determine the size of the patch and optimize the length, shape, and condition of the patch. And it needs people's daily activities.
This is the issue that we need to overcome next. However, since it has been successfully tested on mice, it is believed that serving humans is not far off.
Although this new technology can take good hope for the diabetics ,it also should take a long time to come into realities,at present in Beijing Tongshantang Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine the kidney experts have developed a special natural treatment in Herbal medicine can help diabetics decrease the blood sugar naturally and promote their immune system , the most important thing is that there is no any side effect to diabetes, If you want to know more about that please contact us through the following message:

Eco Friendly Cars
Discover the top eco friendly cars
These days, most would agree that buying, maintaining and fueling a car makes driving a chore. The conventional car has become the target of disdain as gas prices continue to rise, roads become increasingly congested and more people begin to adopt a green lifestyle. However, the auto industry is leading the way to a better, more sustainable future with the introduction of eco-friendly cars; machines that rely less on oil and more on innovative design will not only offer peace of mind, but may also perform better and longer than conventional cars. Learn about green cars, how they run and why they are the better choice.
Environmentally Friendly Cars
The hybrid and electric cars are two new designs widely considered to be eco-friendly alternatives to the familiar gas guzzlers. The electric car is actually quite an old idea, dating back to the birth of the automobile. Today's electric cars, which run on a set of rechargeable batteries that connect to an electric motor, are nearly silent and absolutely emission-free, making them a great green choice. The main drawback to this type of vehicle is the battery life—current models suit shorter commuter trips better than long journeys.
The other eco-friendly style is the hybrid car, which attempts to combine the best features of the electric car with the advantages of a conventional car. Hybrid cars work with a duel fuel system, incorporating a set of batteries to back up the smaller fuel tank and engine. The result is a more efficient engine, less emissions and the ability to travel for a long distance without having to refuel or recharge.
New Eco-Friendly Cars
Most eco-friendly cars on the market have met with mixed reviews, though their environmental advantages generally tip the scales in their favor. While personal preference will determine the ideal car for you, there are a few models that continue to gain popularity, such as the Toyota Prius hybrid. Affordable, reliable and responsive, the Prius has carved a place for itself in the hybrid car industry. Other top eco-friendly cars include the Honda Civic hybrid and the much-anticipated Nissan LEAF electric car that's due to come out at the end of the year. The new eco-friendly cars boast more aerodynamic designs, improved batteries and advanced IT systems to keep passengers comfortable and informed.
