Combate ao Crime: De Volta ao Básico
Crime Fighting: Back to Basics
In this video, I talk about the situation of Brazilian prisons, the medieval state they are in and criticize the authorities for doing nothing about it. It's all a smokescreen. Whenever a crisis erupts, they pretend to be doing something. I also present very basic suggestions on how to straighten up the crime-fighting war in Brazil — one of them is the adoption of the death penalty for corrupt people and drug dealers.
Proposta para Tirar o Brasil do Buraco
A Proposal to Get Brazil Out of the Hole
This video was originally published on Facebook. In this video, I show a few reasons why Brazil is in such a desperate state as far as the economy goes, with chronically nearsighted and corrupt politicians thinking only of taxing citizens indiscriminately, never thinking about the country, but only about themselves. No wonder they are all considered criminals and many of them are, indeed, going to jail. I compare Brazilian and U.S. taxation, showing how absurd the Brazilian system is currently operating under. I also mention a proposal presented by a facefriend of a single tax, designed to radically change Brazil's fiscal landscape, promoting its quick and sustainable recovery.
Brasil, País da Inversão de Valores
Reversal of Values is Now Official in Brazil
Meus 2 Centavos Sobre os Refugiados Islâmicos
My 2 Cents on the Islamic Refugees
In this video I basically claim for respect and reciprocity, reaffirming the "your walls, your treatment" concept. If I go to a country like Saudi Arabia with my wife, she will be expected to cover herself, leaving only her eyes to show. If someone from one of the Islamic countries come to any Western country, they are supposed to behave like we do, and dress (and/or undress) like we do. The same way I don't go to their countries insisting violently that they change their behavior or their way of life, I expect them to do exactly the same here. My concern is that president Temer, himself of Muslim origins, does not pay attention enough to this trap set up by his predecessor, allowing Brazil to turn into a violent chaos with more unemployed people (on top of the 12 million Brazilians already unemployed) not speaking the language, with an agenda of violent change — since they never accept the customs and habits of the countries that welcome them with open arms. Brazil runs a very serious risk of generalized chaos with the imminent arrival of these refugees. It is to be noted that First World Europe was not able to control them; what is going to happen to a Third World Farm like Brazil? Well… food for thought.

Reflexões Sobre o Momento Político…
A Few Thoughts on the Political Moment…
This video was posted live on Facebook and is being shared here. Essentially, I say that when it appears that president Michel Temer's closest associates are (finally) starting to leave the administration, based on the accusations surfaced during plea bargaining on the Car Wash scandal, it is necessary for Temer to realize he does not have the luxury of time to waste. These departures should have happened (or be happening) long ago.
I start with a disclaimer: I did not vote for Michel Temer, but I believe he is the legal, legitimate man on the job who needs all our support to put Brazil back on track. Secondly, I don't have any pet criminals. I cherish my political independence, and thus I think that anyone who sits on that chair or is around the president must be under an electronic microscope at all times, period.
I also say that Michel Temer should be acting decisively, as opposed to what he has been pathetically doing so regularly. He knows he needs Congress' support to have his agenda implemented, but he also must know he can's overstep that fine line that divides political maneuvering and politicking. That has very definite reason, something completely forgotten by everyone involved in this political cleansing process of late: Michel Temer cannot be just honest; he has to give every appearance of honesty to everyone. Therefore, if any member of his cabinet is involved in serious accusations, he/she must leave the administration, take care of his defense outside the government and then — and only then, come back, if it is the case.
The way things have been conducted by this administration regarding maintaining the appearance of seriousness of business has been completely flawed and is leaving everybody worried about the chances that Michel Temer may not have enough political fuel to arrive at the end of the race in 2018.

The Devil Came on Horseback
2007, NR, 85 min. Directed by Ricki Stern, Anne Sundberg.
REVIEWED By Marrit Ingman, Fri., Sept. 14, 2007
Even the Bush administration acknowledges that there is genocide in Sudan. Almost half a million people are dead, and 2 million more are homeless. But what is shocking isn't that it happened but that it continues unabated. We know President Omar al-Bashir's army supports an armed militia known as the Janjaweed – actually, it means "devil on a horse" – and that they burn villages and massacre civilians with his blessing. The western province of Darfur is ripe for petroleum exploration, and its people, predominantly Muslim but non-Arab, are seemingly disposable. We know these things because of Brian Steidle, a retired Marine captain and "military observer" – armed only with a camera – stationed in the region. Had Steidle not followed reports of attacks and photographed their grim aftermath, we might not know anything at all: Neither journalists nor the United Nations are allowed in Sudan. By focusing on Steidle's story, Stern and Sundberg (The Trials of Darryl Hunt) put a plain, honest American face on the issue; we see him evolve from a dutiful and trusting soldier ("If these photos were released to the public, there would be troops in here in a matter of days," he wrote to his sister in 2004) to a disenchanted grassroots activist who alleges that the State Department attempted to suppress his photographs. Steidle's story gives the film's explication of events a pleasing narrative shape, but it also establishes that the global community, like Steidle, has stood by watching powerlessly. (At one point, Steidle surveils two Janjaweed trucks departing a scene of carnage and longs to be looking down a scope instead of his camera.) The second half follows Steidle's evolution into a spokesman for the cause; it's slower and messier, and while parts of it don't quite seem to fit together (a detour into Rwanda, awkward endorsements of Barack Obama as the Darfur candidate), there are interesting moments of Steidle under pressure as his mission proves seemingly futile. Just the same, the film's approach suits an audience broader than the usual documentary crowd, though it's worth mentioning that those pictures can really stay with you.

"Wrestling with a black bear on a shoot for Animal Planet, was the most fun I've had at work recently," says studio manager Brian Kerrigan. In its secluded ground-floor location, Picture Ray is ideal for whisking in a bear, or anyone who may want a certain level of calm privacy. "We keep our clientele list private," Kerrigan says. "We have a large number of high-pro?le people who like the fact that they can come into town, shoot at the studio and leave without being spotted." Warm and inviting, offering equipment rental and every amenity, the studio is located in the heart of Chelsea. Once inside, however, clients immediately forget they are in the middle of a busy city. The drive-through garage facilitates moving large subjects—such as cars and motorcycles—on and off the cyc. Thanks to the drainage system in the floors, splashy water shoots are not a problem.

Power Equipment Pty Ltd has recently appointed Mikisha Herzog to the position of salesperson for industrial engines and products in Western Australia. Herzog's is the first female sales person the company has ever appointed.
The notion of a female selling diesel engines is not one which ever challenged the management at Power Equipment. All it took was the right person to come along at the right time.
Born and bred in the physically demanding mining town of Karratha, WA, Herzog took up an apprenticeship as a fitter when she finished school.
"I always liked the idea of working on heavy equipment. Through my four years as an apprentice, I never saw another female doing the same as me," she says.
Herzog moved to Perth once she was a qualified fitter, where she then took up work on locomotives. After a few years Herzog decided that it was time for a change, but she still harboured an affinity with engines.
"I commenced at Power Equipment about three years ago working in the spare parts area and handling internal sales. When the sales position became available at Power Equipment I approached management and applied," says Herzog.
According to Power Equipment Business Manager, Noel Heritage, Herzog's appointment was an easy one to make considering her background with the company and it's systems, as well as her product knowledge and technical skills.
"We have always admired Mikisha as a person and remain impressed by her achievements at Power Equipment," says Heritage.
In her new position at Power Equipment, Herzog is responsible for representing Yanmar and JCB engines to the commercial and industrial OEM markets. This covers applications such as lighting towers, pumping, power generation, and high pressure cleaners.
"We've got great products in the Yanmar and JCB range. There are some wonderful opportunities to grow with existing customers and at the same time expand into new markets in the mining industry," says Herzog.
Power Equipment is the exclusive and authorized Australian, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea and South Pacific Distributor of Yanmar Marine and Industrial diesel engines importing product from Yanmar plants in Japan, Asia, USA and Europe. The company also distributes Yanmar powered MASE diesel marine generators and Gori high quality folding sailboat propellers.
Power Equipment is also the exclusive authorised distributor of JCB DieselMax engines for Australia, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea and the South Pacific.

Before choosing a car seat, bear in mind that not all car seats fit every car. This is mainly because child seats and cars' rear seats can vary in shape; the child seat must sit flat and snugly against your car's rear seat base and back. Also, unless you are using ISOFIX, where special connections attach the child seat to the car, you might find that your car's seat belt isn't long enough to fasten round the child seat as required by the manufacturer.
Another issue for child seats using the car's seat belt is a situation known as 'buckle crunch'. This is when a long seat belt anchor point places the seat belt buckle on a bend in the belt's route through the child seat. This puts pressure on the buckle and, in an accident, can cause it to open and detach the car seat. Don't be tempted to put a twist in a seat belt stalk to shorten it and avoid this problem, as this could also compromise the belt's effectiveness in an accident.
Getting the match right
The good news is that it's pretty easy to find a car seat that fits your car. The best method is to ask specially trained staff at your retailer to check that the seat fits your car (make sure you phone in advance to make sure the staff are available when you plan to visit). The member of staff will also be able to show you exactly how to secure the seat in your car yourself, even just to make routine refits to ensure the seat hasn't worked loose.
Alternatively, the manufacturer of your car or child seat should be happy to check that both are compatible. If you buy online or via mail order, find out how long you have to return the seat and get a full refund if there's a problem with the fit (the law gives you a minimum of seven days to do this).
Buying second-hand
It can be tempting to save money by buying or accepting a second-hand seat – but make sure you don't skimp on safety when you cut costs. The seat should be a model that is still in production, so you can be sure it meets the current safety standards, and it should have all the necessary fittings and instructions (you can often download replacements from manufacturer websites). Another reason not to accept an old child seat is that some materials, such as plastics, can start to degrade over time, compromising the seat's strength.
As with a new seat, a second-hand seat must also fit your car properly – check with your car manufacturer or the seat maker to check that both are compatible, as well as checking for yourself that the child seat sits flat and snugly against your car's rear seat base and back. You must also make absolutely certain that the seat is genuinely as good as new. That means ensuring that it has never been involved in an accident, however minor, or any other type of damage (such as being dropped, even accidentally, while in storage); this could compromise its effectiveness in ways you may not be able to see with the naked eye, and it's definitely not worth taking the risk. Also check the operation of any adjustors and signs of wear to straps. It is important all the original padding (shoulder pads, inserts..etc) are present and used as per the manufacturers instruction.

I have to be honest with you guys.
I'm hungover.
I met some friends at a bar last night - on a school night - and I drank a good amount of alcohol. So today I'm feeling pretty terrible and I've bailed on paleo so hard today and I just don't care. I had Cheez-Its for breakfast. It's that kind of day.
So, I feel like writing something lighthearted. Like, I don't know, maybe talking about my July!
July was great!
I celebrated the Fourth of July by seeing Steve Martin at the Hollywood Bowl and it was a fucking awesome experience. I still can't stop thinking about him and how funny he is! It was such a fun night. We ordered personal pizzas and brought them with us and brought some beers and a bottle of wine. I love outdoor venues and California for allowing BYOB to be a thing! I can't imagine any place in Massachusetts where they would openly let Bostonians bring any amount of liquor into an establishment. We'd take advantage of that too hard. And we certainly did take advantage of it, so I understand.
Plus, would you look at those 'works? Oh, I'm shortening fireworks to just 'works now. So, get on that.
I also dog sat Arthur while Matt and Jen went to Hawaii and took the cutest picture that I've ever taken in my life. Those two were little lovebirds. Not really. They sort of hated each other. But, in that picture - total lovebirds!
I spent a lot of time by the pool, reading this book and doing summer things. I bought a car. I went paleo for a second there... and trying to still maintain it as much as possible!
And then last night I hung out with these dumb idiots.
All in all, July was a pretty solid month. It was full of fun, friends, swimming, my cute cat and other shit, too.
I have to take a nap now.

Get Smart is the only decent release near me this weekend. Loved the show. Hoping this will be good.
Still wishing Mongol was showing nearby, though.

Global Metal isn't playing here at all, darn! I agree, Steve Carell is a perfect choice, we're probably seeing that this weekend.
The Love Guru may be super racist or not, can't tell. Sometimes I think the commercials look offensive and then it looks charming. I am confused!
My Winnipeg looks completely original and the writing fantastic!

The Global Metal site only has dates for Toronto, Vancouver, Montreal and Calgary so far. Here in T.O. it's only playing at one theatre (but they have a great sound system - woohoo).
I think Get Smart looks pretty fun, I hope I have a chance to get to see it.
I'm not holding my breath with The Love Guru. I loved that there are Canadian references in it but the voice over during the trailer says something like "The 2nd best Guru in India comes to America". Doesn't he come to see one of the Toronto Maple Leafs? *Toronto*.
- 20 June 2008 at 09:57
Global Metal is the movie to watch this weekend. It's AWESOME. I think you'll enjoy it Shannon!
No "new film" theater trips for me this weekend. Catching the first two films in the Manoel de Oliveira retrospective and that's about it for new stuff. Lots of DVD's to get through though!

I can't wait to see Global Metal, it's definitely my pick of the week (but that is also because I've already seen and loved My Winnipeg!).

Here I will answer the questions I get asked most often. I will keep them as organized as possible, and broken into categories.
Supplies I use:
For my Bullet Journal
Let's start with the basics. I love purple, and I love a sturdy cover, so this one from TUL is working out great right now. It is the Junior Size, which is basically a half-letter page, or about an A5 (for anyone international). This one comes with a nice quality note paper inside it. I use the paper that comes with it for quick notes and lists, on the go, or if I need to write something down for someone. You can purchase it on Amazon here, or they can be found in local Office Depot / Staples stores. They can also be purchased in a full letter size, here. (Junior – $17.99 and Letter – 24.99 on Amazon)
These are available in a variety of colors.
If you plan to add your own pages, and not just use the ones that come from the company, I suggest using a punch like this one. It can be purchased here. This is great and sturdy. Now, some people use the Happy Planner disc system, and I have some of the Happy Planners, but I chose not to use the punch (by them) for a couple of reasons. First, the amount of space taken by the punch, down the side of the page, is a little deeper with the Happy Planner punch. This can cause a couple of issues, depending on your style. I find that I like to use as much of the page as I can for writing, and decorating, so I prefer the thinner punch area of the TUL. Also, if you are going to be using smaller discs, the depth of the punch can cause pages to hit while on the disc, and make page turning interesting. The one for Happy Planners has a 9 hole, 99.25-inchlimit also, so it doesn't really fit for anyone using a full letter page. The TUL has guides for different sizes and will fit multiple sizes easily. This is just my opinion on the difference between the two and why I chose to use TUL. (34.99 on Amazon)
Speaking of making my own pages… My favorite paper is by Hammermill. This is the 32lb. Color Copy paper, and it is super smooth, and take ink very well. It is my top choice for paper, and you can grab it here. I prefer this to standard printer paper because it is super smooth to the touch, there is little bleed and shadowing, and it holds up very well. I can remove pages over and over and won't have to worry about the paper tearing or the holes holding their shape. (about $16 on Amazon)
For dividers, I use Hammermill 80lb Cover (card stock). This makes the dividers sturdy. You can grab it here. (about $17 on Amazon)
Hammermill Paper can usually be found in your local office supply stores, also.
My absolute favorite (of all my favorites) is my Micron pens. I purchased this 6-pack which has varying tip sizes and would suit anyone's writing needs. The ink is archival, waterproof, and dries almost instantly. You can grab it here. These pens also come in a small variety of colors. I have my pens with me wherever I go. I keep one with my journal. I even use them for my artwork. I have to buy new ones all the time because I use them so much. And, if that was not enough, they don't bleed. Scribble all day in your bujo, and the ink will not bleed through to the other side. This is true for normal printer paper, just as much as it is for thicker paper. ($6.99 on Amazon)
Also available in local office supply stores and craft stores.
For a little more color, with my liners, I use Staedtler Triplus Fineliners. I have the 20-pack. You can grab it here. This pack gives you a nice range of colors but is also available in different size packs to suit your needs. I love color coding with these and filling in trackers. There will be a little shadowing on the back of the page, depending on the weight of your paper, but nothing noticeable. I will note that with thinner paper, there may be a tiny bit of bleeding if you are coloring something in or go over the same spot multiple times. For general use, though, these are great. ($18.90 on Amazon)
Also available in local office supply stores and craft stores.
Love to highlight? These are the pens you want. They are Zebra Mildliners. They are perfect, and they do not bleed through the paper, like some of the regular highlighters can, and are available in a great range of colors. I got this set of three 5-packs. It covers all my highlighting needs. You can grab your sets here. I have yet to find anything like these locally, so chances are you will need to get them online, like Amazon. You can purchase the sets separately if you prefer. ($14.90 on Amazon)
Hand-lettering is something I have been working on, recently. For that, I love a Tombow Dual Brush pen. Tombow brush pens are great for this. They are dual pens, so they have a brush end and a bullet end. They work as liners and as calligraphy pens. You can grab this set here. They come in a wide variety of colors, and can be purchased in packs like this, and even as a complete set with a stand for your desk. I use these for titling my pages and my headers. ($21.56 on Amazon)
Prefer colored pencils? Right now, I am kind of loving the look of my Prismacolor colored pencils on my spreads. I recently went to grab a red pencil I was missing to color my monthly dashboard, and ended up buying the pack of 150! Yep, I wanted it. So, I now have a few (several) duplicates, but all of my pencils were starting to get a little short, anyway. You can grab the 150-pack for an amazing price right now, also! ($90.95 on Amazon! normally over $300) Grab it here, or grab a smaller pack that fits your needs. It's really hard to pass up such a great deal, though. The packs range from 12 to 150, or you can usually find them individually in your local craft store. Prismacolor Colored Pencils can also be found at office supply stores and anywhere they sell art supplies, really.
Long-term storage for permanent collections or pages. My favorite, and a favorite amongst bujo junkies, in the hardbound journal line, is the Leuchtturm1917. Great quality cover, wonderful paper quality, holds ink well, has numbered pages, a pocket, an index, bookmarks, and so many wonderful touches. Available in a variety of colors. Grab one here. For collections and spreads that are a little more personal or ones that I don't need to carry with me, I store them in one of these beauties. I just love this journal, and if I didn't like to customize every page, add and remove pages, and move things around, I would probably do all my planning in one of these. (around $20 on Amazon)
Great gel pens. If you want a great pen, without the worry of bleed, or even shadowing, I use Pilot Frixion Gel Pens. I use the 20-pack for the range of colors. They write super smoothly, and they are erasable! That's right. Grab them here. If you hate making mistakes (like I do) in permanent marker, then you will want these pens. What is better than a pretty and colorful ink that you can erase, when you make a little boo-boo? I can't think of much. I adore these, and I recommend them to anyone else with a little bit of OCD when it comes to their bujo. ($31.98 on Amazon)
(Note*** These are affiliate links, which only means if you click on one and then make a purchase, I get a teeny tiny commission for the sale. It really doesn't affect you at all, because Amazon pays the commission, but I like to mention it just in case.)

Postal service has wrong priorities
Postal service has wrong priorities
I would like to see a "Thumbs Down" for the United States Postal Service. They are planning on closing two post offices in Bridgeport, the Barnum Station on Fairfield Avenue and the Noble Station on East Main Street. Both of these stations are in areas where many of the customers walk and have lower incomes. This is on top of the formerly Beardsley Station, which was closed on two days' notice in the North End, and has never been replaced.
If you notice the list of potential offices that might be closing, all are in the inner cities. There is not one city on the list that is in more wealthy suburban areas like Greenwich, New Canaan, Darien, Ridgefield, Westport, etc. that is on the chopping block to be closed. All of these cities also have their own very-high-salaried postmasters, with very few employees, very low volume of mail and very low revenue. Greenwich and Redding even have multiple postmasters!
If the postal service were indeed trying to make smart business decisions, they would start by cutting the very large amount of fat that floats on the top and eliminating the mass quantities of fluff management jobs.
Proud of Stamford
for recycling
Kudos to the city of Stamford! Upon reading the article "Recycling increases 47 percent in first month of new Stamford program," I was so pleased to see that my hometown is actually doing something good for the world and not just for the corporate mecca it has become.
Not having lived in Stamford for the past 11 years, I have come to realize that it is not the same place I grew up in, nor the place my parents grew up. But when I found out how much Stamford is doing (and saving) for recycling, I was so proud. I feel recycling should be mandatory in this day and age, where all towns (or states) provide curb-side pick-up service to residents. Personally, we end up with more in our recycling bin than our garbage can.
It's a win-win situation. Towns save money, while the Earth just gets saved!
Don't let Dodd
off the hook yet
Sen. Christopher Dodd's recent exoneration of any wrongdoing with regard to Countrywide Mortgage must be met with some skepticism.
First of all, despite the fact it was a bipartisan panel, to be judged by a panel made up of colleagues, warrants concerns of bias. This is tantamount to the fox guarding the hen house. Second, why would the senator put himself in such a position in the first place? One has to question his judgment. The real issue in my mind is where was the oversight by his committee?
There is substantial evidence that Congress was warned about potential problems with the mortgage industry, derivatives, etc., yet no action was taken. The buck has to stop somewhere, and he is in the unenviable position of chairman of a committee that was responsible for oversight. Bottom line, he didn't do his job!
In this time of cynicism of government, our representative, someone with Dodd's tenure, has to be held accountable. After 36 total years in Washington, he is more a part of the problem than of the solution. A clear message must be sent by the electorate that we have had enough by voting against incumbents and demanding term limits.
The Founding Fathers never intended elected positions to be positions for life. That's for monarchs. They designed the system so that people could do their civic duty and get back to their real lives. The Constitution was never intended to make congressmen and senators demigods. Their reality is being a congressman or senator. What?
This midterm election is critical. Now is our chance to speak and speak loudly the only way we can -- with our vote. Sorry Chris, but I'm done with Dodd!

Whether you're on a budget or not, everyone has to clean at some point (well… we guess technically you don't? But if you don't want to end up on a hoarding show you probably should).
Check out these clever double-duty hacks for everyday household items from organizing expert Peter Walsh that won't take a penny from your pocket.
WATCH: Why Your Mattress Has More Germs Than You Think - And How To Clean It
Use Old Socks to Clean Blinds
This couldn't be easier or most cost-effective! Grab some thick athletic socks, put them over your hand and arm, dip in a bowl of vinegar, then just use your sock-covered hand to wipe the blinds. When you're done, just throw the socks in the wash.
Use a Squeegee to Conquer Pet Hair
If you have pet hair accumulating on your carpet, just use the rubber part of a squeegee to clump it up, then just pick up the furballs and toss them (the actual balls of fur… not the pets).
WATCH: This Is How Often You Should REALLY Be Changing Your Sheets, Towels + Loofah
Use a Lint Roller to Clean Out Your Purse
Want to get really grossed out? Clear all the items out of your purse, then stick your hands in there. You'll likely find little pieces of sand, paper, pennies, bobby pins and possibly even bits of makeup or food. Looking for a better way? Use a lint roller to grab up all those small items from the bottom of the purse without having to touch them.

Use Rubber Bands to Make Non-Slip Hangers
Just wrap a couple rubber bands around a hanger to stop your clothes from sliding off. It's way cheaper than the expensive ones from the store. Watch the video below for bonus tips on how to get your closet in order.

Title: The Dreamers
Author: Karen Thompson Walker
Genre: Science Fiction
My Rating: 3.5/5 stars
What a strange read with such strange writing. I'm still on the fence on whether I enjoyed this writing style or not, but it felt very dream-like (for lack of a better word). I suppose considering what the book is about, this isn't a bad thing, but it could absolutely potentially turn off readers.
The story is multi-perspective, following several different characters from a town that is struck with a sudden sleeping sickness. It's not a scary or tense read, but it's very interesting and there's an air of mystery as mass amounts of people begin to fall asleep. The town is put under quarantine while scientists and doctors alike try to keep the growing number of sleeping patients alive while also trying to understand the cause. While observing these patients, doctors are beginning to notice that every one of them is dreaming, and their brain activity while in this state is off the charts.
It's hard to get into this review without getting spoiler-y, as some of the biggest things that happen are towards the end of the book. Because I don't want to discuss these things, let me just say that the actions of one of the characters pissed me off so much. Also, the end was not at all satisfying. I still have loads of questions, but the author chose to leave readers in the dark. I understand this was intentional but it still makes me livid because I don't like unanswered questions.
Yet while these things angered me, I still think about this book. I read The Dreamers in the middle of February and the events are still fresh in my mind. It's thought-provoking and fascinating, and I could actually see myself rereading this.
This read left me with so many mixed feelings, but I can see this being a great book club read because it could bring about so many awesome discussions. If the premise interests you at all, I recommend at least trying this out simply so you can form your own opinion, and then discuss it with me because I'm furious.

Logically, you should buy the lower-cost Audi A6. I made an argument that when it comes to the A6 and A7. They share the same powertrain. They handle nearly identically. The problem is, we don't buy cars based on logic. Which is good news for the wonderful looking A7.
Audi bets you'll pay extra for the A7's design and tech upgrades
Sponsored Links
The Audi A7 (starting at $68,000) looks spectacular. When you look at the A6 and A7 together, the A7 is just a cooler car. The low-slung Sportback design looks like it slices through the wind with ease. The four-door sedan resembles a coupe. Sort of like Mercedes CLA but without the "coupe" moniker. But it's also a hatchback -- it actually has a hatchback for the trunk. The entire rear window and rear of the vehicle swing up. It's huge and it's also part of the A7's charm.
It needs those bits of luxury and wonderment to stand out from the A6 since it shares quite a lot of performance specifications with the less expensive vehicle. The A7 has the same turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 engine found in the A6. Like its more cost efficient sibling, it outputs 335 horsepower and 369 foot-pounds of torque. But that extra styling (and giant hatch) adds weight. The A6 will go from zero to 60 in 5.1 seconds. The A7 does the same in 5.2 seconds. In other words, you won't notice.
You also probably won't notice the hidden adaptive wing that appears at speeds above 75 miles per hour. If you're not breaking the speed laws of most states, you wouldn't even know that it was there. Sure you want to look like you're ready to go fast at a moments notice, but it's also important to play it James Bond cool.
The interior also conveys a bit of tech chic. Audi says it removed 43 buttons that were found on the previous generation A7. The result is a cleaner cabin that's comfortable while leaning towards a minimalist aesthetic that tilts the controls and displays towards the driver. My only real issue with the physical interior is Audi's continued use of an almost hidden stalk for adaptive cruise control and lane keep assist.
The screens are just as well thought out, like the A6 it has Audi's latest MMI infotainment system. I'd already written about the impressive system in the A6 but as a reminder here goes (again). The system uses two displays. The top touchscreen serves up all the usual infotainment system information: Navigation, media, vehicle settings. The bottom screen houses the climate controls and favorites. It also now has better voice control so you can say things like "I'm cold" and it'll turn up the temperature. Or you can tap yourself warm.
Typically I'd want physical buttons to adjust the temperature in a car, but Audi does a commendable job placing the touchscreen ahead of the gear shift so you can rest your wrist while navigating climate controls.
When I wasn't trying to find the right temperature I was whipping the A7 around Napa's backroads. I drove the European spec version earlier in the year and it felt like the steering was tighter in the US-ready vehicle I drove. I also spent a lot of time on the Autobahn with the European A7 so that might have had something to do with it. Regardless, the steel suspension lends itself to not-quite-as-aggressive-as-BMW handling coupled with an understanding that most folks that buy this car want to feel pampered while cruising through town.
Overall the A7 luxury sportsback sedan hits all the right marks. It handles well at speed without sacrificing the polished luxury ride buyers expect from a car in this segment. Audi's latest MMI pairs nicely with the exterior design that again, looks outstanding. And yes, the A6 is about $9,000 cheaper for the same engine, MMI, interior and handling. That's the logical choice. But have you seen the A7? Because it'll quickly make you throw logic out the window.

hello sir..i currently reside in bangalore..my optionals are public administration and kannada literature..i have given pt twice,but not cleared...so this time in third attempt i want to my best try..ReplyDelete
i m unable to go delhi for classes due to some personal constraints...i want to do with manis stuff till december....sir please help me how to go abt and what materials to go through for pub adm(the right strategy).. i m a bit confused right now as to how to make a choice even though i have got all materials from my friends in delhi..plz help
@namratha since u appeared for prelims twice , u mut have quite good knowledge of general studies and i assume also of ur optionals .....ReplyDelete
For pub-ad I always adhered to books and believed in them rather than coaching materials . Read prasad and prasad and mohit bhattacharya thoroughly for 1st , and rajni goyal for 2nd paper . For topics not given in these books u can refer any third book or good coaching materials....
one more thing ,focus on understanding rather than mugging ...

hi sirReplyDelete
i am a dental surgeon by profssion and have quit my job to come to dehi to prepaere.
although i havent jined any batches yet(all start around october)i have heard the name of vajiram through many poeple suggesting it as a good coaching centre
my question sir is
1 does coaching (vajiram in particular) help in any appreciable way as the cost of coaching and living in delhi is considerably high
2 what books would you suggest for gs to one who has just started prep
3lastly , while looking for accomodation what factors should i keep in mind?
1)Any coaching just provide guidelines and help in completing you syllabus in time bounded manner and if one is very much focused and knows exactly what he has to study , he may not need coaching
2) Start from NCERT books for geography and history and daily newspaper , I will soon provide a whole list of book on this blog as of now refer http://www.thepriest.in/2011/06/strategy-for-preparing-for-civil.html
3) Three things :affordability , proximity to coaching centers and where you can get like minded people preparing for exam
please give extract of administrative reforms commission 2nd, recommendation, i couldn't get it anywhere, and if possible provisional data of census 2011.. thank youReplyDelete
I dont have any such link...but some publications do give out extract in book forms, if u r in delhi u can get it in rajinder nagar and bersarai ..am not sure of mukhrejee nagar .ReplyDelete
For census there was one Yojana magazine dedicated to it , try to get it else u can refer to http://www.censusindia.gov.in/2011-prov-results/paper2/prov_results_paper2_india.html

Sir, i am M.Sc in Biotechnology....this year i have cleared SSC in my 1st attempt....not sure about joining time....I want to prepare for CS 2012. My 1st optional is Chemistry as i am teaching this subject so quite comfortable....ReplyDelete
But i have some doubts..
1. what should be 2nd optional wrt to less syllabus, good scoring and notes easily available??
2. I am from a very small town in Haryana...so please guide me how to handle GS?? For CS 2012...when and from where should i collect notes??
3. I am not interested in any coaching till my PRE...so how it would be if i join coaching for only 2nd optional in btw PRE and mains??
I would have liked if u had written ur name..anywayReplyDelete
1)public ad is best..it will be useful even if upsc removes optional subject
2)read daily newspaper and regarding notes for conventional u can get materials from bersarai near IIT rt now ,for current affairs take it in march for prelims
3)I will not suggest taking coaching between mains ans pre..better if u dont have time before go for self study at that time ..atleast pub ad can be done by self study
- AnonymousOctober 7, 2011 at 6:29 PM
Thanks a lot sir for ur adviceReplyDelete
I am Mukesh....
1) For Pub ad how to start preparation. Will u guide me about study material and strategy??
2)For GS...i could not understand exactly...notes of which institute and what topic??
1) for pub ad start from first paper with fadia and fadia...read first few chapters to get basics of pub ad , then read prasad and prasad for administrative thinkers along with mohit bhattacharya...last two books need to be completed fully
2)for GS take full notes of either vajiram or sriram

is socio a wise take for new entrant in the field of civil servies.?? i plan to give cse 12, is socio good optional keeping in mind the fact that upsc may scrap optionals...?? is awasthi maheshwari nt required for pub adm when we complete prasad n prasad n mohit....??ReplyDelete

i m reading polity from d d basu. it is very hard to read...cn i read laxmikant , will laxmikant be sufficient for mains exam...??ReplyDelete
i did not read awasthi maheshwari , so i don't think its compulsory...socio is good combo with pubad and helps in writing essay.....
dd basu is indeed very tough and i don't recommend it as primary book ,at max u can keep it as reference book...laxmikant is good engh as per my view...
- Neha YadavOctober 24, 2011 at 7:22 PM
Sir I have been following your blog since quite a time now. I would like you to please include some suggestions for the very beginners, so that we utilize most of our time in preparing rather than planning.ReplyDelete
I have just started preparing for the exam, target is CSE 2012, have joined Vajiram for GS and Pub Ad.
- Should we give equal time to GS, 2 optionals and CSAT from the first day itself or concentrte more on pre as its the necessary evil
- what should be the right approach for CSAT
- if possible, a rough daily plan need to be followed
- how much time should be given to pre only b4 the the exam
thank you for your time
1)I will suggest you to start wholeheartedly for prelims january onwards .. till then divide time euqally for optionals and gs ....
2)For CSAT pratice is the key for success ... try increasing speed as well as accuracy ...
3)daily plan needs to be planned according to ur own priority..there cannot be one best way ...
4) atleast 3 months is needed dedicated only to prelims if its ur first attempt....
- Neha YadavOctober 27, 2011 at 12:46 AM
Thank you Sir, 1 more thing i would like to know isReplyDelete
- what is strategic difference btw preparing for pre and mains? In the coaching also emphasis mainly on the mains part.... is preparing from the mains prospective good enough for the pre or it needs some special treatment
Seeing the current trend the almost same type of knowledge is required for prelims as well as main, But since the pattern of paper is diff one have to treat differently the study material...ReplyDelete
Each and every thing you study for mains will be helpful in prelims , but for prelims one have to expand his horizon and try to cover as much as possible....
One more thing since prelims is objective type ,it is easy to reproduce even if u have read something once or twice and hence easier to cover more thing......but for mains exam one have to read it again and again and hence coverage may not be that vast
- Neha YadavOctober 29, 2011 at 3:22 PM

Gaurav Sir,ReplyDelete
How was Physics exam yesterday?
Another qs - suppose I get low rank in CSE-2011, can I attempt CSE-2012 mains without joining the training? Will my rank and service of CSE 2011 will be valid in CSE - 2012 if I will not get good rank again in 2012. Since you are appearing again, have you joined training program for IPS this year?
Last qs - Does any candidate rejected for medical reasons usually?
@ kaushalendrs.... its alwayas better to do full time preparation but in case u want to do with job better join psu rather than joining tcs...in psu u can get leaves easily compared to private sectorReplyDelete
@jahir one gets exemption from foundation course for giving mains but u have to join after giving mains....
yup candidates do get rejected in case they do not fulfill medical criteria..

Kindly help me regarding interview preparation..first of all which newspaper to study.right now i m studying hindu and indian express..which news talk shows to refer..and the list continues..sir kindly let me know in detail abt interview preparation n ur experience..
hindu and indian express is enough but the kind of reading required is different, you need to study even political news thoroughly now....discussion on FM gold after the evening news is good ....you need to prepare your complete biodata thoroughly ....a quick revision of optionals .....ReplyDelete
These are the basic things , I will write about interview prep in detail soon

@Gaurav Sir...... i need your advice for the Prelim..what slould be our strategy according to you seeing the concept based questions.basically for polity and science tech...do we need to study all the policy taken by Govt...also can we skip ancient and medieval parts of history.ReplyDelete
Had i been at ur place i would have skipped medival and ancient history(i used to do this when i was preparing). One need to read policy initiative taken in recent time and policies which are in news...studying all policies may not be possible....regarding science and tech for prelims, i used to depend on knowledge gained in school....ReplyDelete
To tackle concept based question try to use all the knowledge u have about the subject and then eliminate options given

Is this really true that a person should not hope for getting into civil services if he have secured not so good percentage in graduation?I am asking you this because this is heard commonly among aspirants in West bengal...this thing is haunting me as I have secured justaverage marks ..will be eagerly waiting for your reply...
Thanking you
With regards
marks at graduation level does not matter at allReplyDelete
Dear Sir,ReplyDelete
I would be writing upsc 2013.I want to know is coaching really important in present level of intense competition to crack upsc. One more question i would like to ask that if i join coaching should i take optional subjects first or prepare for gs first.
Thanking you
with regards
Coaching has its own importance..but its not necessary to attend coaching.....i wil suggest to prepare gs first because upsc may change mains syllabus and may remove optional sunjects from all levels in near futureReplyDelete
Thanks a lot Sir...ReplyDelete

thanks you starting the blog :)..i have got selected in cse 2013 and will get IPS and most probably home cadre.It was my second choice- IFS>IPS>IAS..But lately i am hearing very negative things about IFS.Moreover I am perplexed when i see some people in the list leaving 2+ years of seniority to go for IAS.These doubts are hovering in my mind and i am unable to concentrate for next attempt.I will be grateful if you could clear the aforementioned doubts here or on phone(if you dont mind sharing your number).
thanks in advance :)
See in log run IAS provides better opportunity compared to IPS due better job condition and faster promotion. This happens due to policy errors and unwanted delays at the topmost level of bureaucracy. And at present no one at the top(manned by mostly IAS) wants to resolve these issues.ReplyDelete
As far as IFS is concerned , though the training duration is long , the job condition is at par with IAS and sometime even better. But inside country you wont be having much power compared to what IAS and IPS enjoys.
Saying all, It all depends your mindset and your own choice of the job.

Thank you for the prompt reply :)ReplyDelete
Power doesnt occupy a top position in my list of things..I will try for IFS one last time just in case i dont get home cadre IPS.Hoping that i am not making a wrong decision(going solely by interest).
Thanks once again

Sir, Happy new yearReplyDelete
1 request........i am from haryana but gave civlis mains from mumbai due to extreme winter here, my masi lives there. 3 days back while i was travelling in mumbai local while boarding at some crowdy train somebody stole my new mobile Moto G 2nd. I had not even put the sim in that. I thought after reaching home (haryana) i will get the sim cut from some shop then i will put. So no issue of data security. and no need of contacting service provider to block the sim.
Sir, i bought it from flipkart so email invoice i found its IMEI no- 353321069940479
Sir, How can i get my mobile back. where should i file FIR, right now i am at my home place haryana.
pls guide........is there any chance of getting my first smart phone back.
Technically speaking the FIR needs to be file in Mumbai only . But you can file FIR even in haryana which they can transfer to mumbai . But first of all there is tendency to avoid registering FIR on other are ..particularly of other state, and secondly transfer of FIR itself will take time .ReplyDelete
If you have someone in mumbai then get the case registered there , it will be better and fast . By running IMEI there are chances of getting your phone back.
sir am doing 2nd year of my civil engineering i want to become ips officer........can i take up my upsc exams when am in final year or should take it after complition of my engineering and can you pls help me out by naming what kind of books should i read.........how can i get prepared for taking examsReplyDelete

thakn you :)
I dont have much Idea about Bangalore coaching.ReplyDelete
Start with current affairs, ncert and daily newspaper reading
Dear Sir,ReplyDelete
I had appeared for Mains in 2012 and thereafter I failed to clear Prelims in 2013(for 1 mark) and 2014.For some personal constraints I couldnot manage to read anything but the newspaper after the results.
Can I manage it with so less time? I can devote 12 hours daily. can u please suggest an appropriate strategy.
Should I concentrate on GS and CSAT-2 ,and read optional after Prelims?
Thank you
Yes you can do it since you already know what to study . Right now you should focus on revision of what already you have read plus current affairs plus practicing CSAT-2. And with hope that you must have atleast once prepared the optional fully, you should now completely focus on prelims examsReplyDelete
hi sir.i am an IFS aspirant. i have choosen civil engineering ans chemistry as my optionals.please guide me how to prepare for GS,ENGLISH and CHEMISTRY.I am currently in delhi so can u please suggest me books and coaching ifReplyDelete
I dont have much idea about Chemistry optional..For GS preparation syllabus is almost same as that of IAS so if you prepare accordingly you will easily be able to answer GS question. English is not that tough if you are comfortable with the language .ReplyDelete

Sarbanes-Oxley & Section 404: Old Dog / New Teeth
by Gerry M. Czarnecki
As a top executive at IBM during its resurgence in the 1990s, and as a director of State Farm Insurance, Gerry Czarnecki has a keen and long term perspective on trends in corporate governance. In this Viewpoint he argues that much of Sarbanes-Oxley already existed as a federal statute long before anyone heard of Ken Lay, and that the entire business that howls about the new legislative strictures has only itself to blame for ignoring that law.

text: by Catherine Jinks In this book, vampires are not beautiful, sparkly creatures of the night. Instead, they are sickly and disturbed people who have a terrible addiction to blood. Join Nina and her support group as they try to find purpose in their otherwise dreary and pathetic lives as they try to free an enslaved werewolf from a terrible life of cage fighting. This book was very fun to read because it presents a different picture of what vampires could be. The eccentric characters were funny, realistic, and easy to like. Yes, I would recommend this book because not all vampires are sexy, romantic, and powerful. It's a different spin on supernatural stories, and I think many fans such as those of Wicked would like it.

The Coca-Cola Company and The Coca-Cola Africa Foundation announced that $6 million will be dedicated to water and sanitation partnerships aimed at improving the lives of an estimated 250,000 women and girls on the African continent. The announcement was made as part of a high-level leadership event on World Water Day, including remarks from U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton and World Bank President Robert Zoellick.
Through RAIN, which will provide at least 2 million people with access to safe drinking water and sanitation by 2015, The Coca-Cola Company's $6 million contribution will have an impact on women and girls in African countries including Algeria, Kenya, Liberia, Morocco, Nigeria, Rwanda, Sierra Leone, South Africa, Swaziland, Tanzania, Tunisia, and Uganda. In addition, in 2011, RAIN will continue to support multi-year initiatives being implemented through the Water and Development Alliance (WADA), The Coca-Cola Company's partnership with United States Agency for International Development (USAID) in Angola, Burundi, Egypt, Ghana, Malawi, Mozambique, South Africa, and Tanzania.
"The water and sanitation crisis affects billions of people every day, but the impact on women and girls is particularly devastating," said Muhtar Kent, Chairman and CEO of The Coca-Cola Company. "Supporting initiatives that promote access to water for women and girls is a building block for community health with a ripple effect on social and economic empowerment. This is a win-win for everyone."
Providing access to safe water, sanitation and hygiene is critical for creating healthy communities around the world. The World Health Organization estimates that African women and children spend up to 40 billion hours collecting water each year; time that could otherwise be spent learning, working or caring for their families. Because of the distance many women are required to travel to retrieve clean water, they often resort to using unsafe surface water sources, putting themselves and their families at risk of life-threatening diseases. Additionally, data from the United Nations show that a child dies every 15 seconds on average from the diarrheal and malnutrition impacts related to unsafe water, inadequate sanitation or insufficient hygiene.
With NGOs and government organizations as partners, The Coca-Cola Company is able to positively impact communities in need through health, safety, education, and income-generating activities for women.
In Rwanda, Coca-Cola is working with development organization Water For People and other partners to provide access to water for approximately 17,000 people in the Gahanga and Masaka districts of Kicukiro. Coca-Cola's funds are helping to leverage significant contributions from local government and communities, an indication of ownership that is critical for sustainability. In 2011, the provision of water access in two schools and sanitation access in four schools should help increase the attendance of female learners who often don't attend school due to the absence of proper sanitation facilities. In addition, 17 new community tap stands in the Gahanga sector will help to decrease the amount of time women and girls spend traveling to collect water.
The RAIN Water for Schools project is providing integrated Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) interventions at 100 South African schools. In partnership with the Government's Department of Basic Education (DBE), The Mvula Trust and H2O for Life, water points and gender segregated latrines will be constructed helping to increase female attendance in schools and empower girls to share proper hygiene and sanitation behaviors with their communities.
RAIN's focus on gender issues builds on The Coca-Cola Company's existing commitment to improve the lives of women and girls, including its 5 BY 20 pledge. This initiative aims to empower 5 million women entrepreneurs throughout Coca-Cola's global business system by 2020, capitalizing on the Company's presence in over 200 countries and its business model, which relies on millions of small-scale distributors and retailers, many of whom are women.
