Conan the Barbarian is most well known for slaughtering his enemies with a sword, but as the following first look preview at February's Savage Sword of Conan #1, kicking off a five-part story by the Gerry Duggan of comics, Gerry Dugan, along with artist Ron Garney and colorist Richard Isanove. Presumably someone will letter it, but "@#$% letterers" is the message from Marvel, who never mentions them in solicits or press releases. But Robert E. Howard's hero isn't above resorting to fighting dirty if the need arises. So it should be no surprise that when left with no other options, Conan goes right for the family jewels…
Editor Mark Basso explains the comic on Marvel.com:
A hallmark of the Conan stories, dating back to the original Robert E. Howard tales, is to catch up with the Barbarian in various times in his life—as a thief, as a pirate, as a pit fighter—and we're continuing that tradition with the new SAVAGE SWORD
onan finds himself in a tough spot as this five-part adventure opens, and it really only gets worse for him from there, as his excursion runs him afoul of the sorcerer Koga Thun. Thun is seeking a treasure of incredible value, and as the story unfolds you'll see how his mission, and the hunt Conan finds himself on end up raising the stakes for Conan and the city he'll need to save.
But Koga Thun doesn't work alone—he has a cult that follows him, and the rituals they perform will end up impacting Conan in a way you won't quite expect.
While Duggan just hopes the story is good.
My first job was in 7th grade, working part-time at a comics shop that needed help going through their inventory. I fell in love with the classic Conan material that year. To be able to play in this sandbox now is a dream come true. I hope it has all the hallmarks of a great Conan tale,. It starts on the high seas, there's treasure, there's fighting, there's a potential romance, there's a little bit of comedy, and there's Conan swinging all kinds of weapons at death cultist's heads.
And their @#$%s.
Final order cutoff is Monday, so get your pre-orders in quickly if you want more ball-kicking action in your pullbox.
Savage Sword of Conan #1
(W) Gerry Duggan (A) Ron Garney (CA) Alex Ross
Adrift at sea. No food. No weapons. Death surely awaits him. But the lionhearted CONAN is not so easily subdued, by Crom! When Conan finds himself captured, he unleashes his might on an unsuspecting pirate crew…one whose dark secrets will plunge Conan on the trail of an ancient treasure that may prove to be his undoing!
An all-new age of SAVAGE SWORD OF CONAN begins with a five-part tale of swords and sorcery by Gerry Duggan (DEADPOOL, INFINITY WARS) and illustrated by legendary artist Ron Garney (DAREDEVIL, THOR: GOD OF THUNDER) with covers by the incomparable Alex Ross, and breathtaking variant covers by Garney, Rahzzah, comics legend George Perez, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles co-creator Kevin Eastman!
Welcome to the deadly Hyborian Age-hope you survive the experience!

Plus-size model Shante Gordon is one half of a weight-loss team on VH1's "Money Hungry." Each week Gordon and teammate, Jamie Litt, compete to see which team can lose the most weight and win the $100,000 prize. A native of Florida, Gordon says being on the show isn't about slimming down to a size six, but rather about learning to live a healthier lifestyle. She spoke with ESSENCE.com about "Money Hungry" and making it as a plus-size model. ESSENCE.com: What made you sign up for VH1's "Money Hungry"? SHANTE GORDON: My teammate Jamie and I work together as plus-size models and she got word of the show. We were both happy about our curves but we wanted to get healthier and start our journey towards lowering our BMIs and getting to our ideal weight by learning about nutrition and exercise. ESSENCE.com: What's the experience been like? GORDON: The experience helped me get to where I needed to be mentally to help myself. I pressed pause on my life and was able to take this numebr of weeks to focus on how I relate to food, nutrition and exercise. I feel like I made life changes on the show. It's VH1, its crazy and its over-the-top, but really it put me in the place to be able to really deal with issues I've been dealing with since I was a kid. ESSENCE.com: As a full-figured model, were you worried about sending a message that being bigger is a problem? GORDON: Of course there's concern because I do plus-size modeling and I'm an advocate for full-figured acceptance that people might say that the reason for me going on the show was hypocritical. That's not the reason at all. Even if I lose weight on the show, I'm still a plus-size woman. It's not that I'm trying to be a size 6 or 8, I'm just trying to get to a healthier place in my life and understand my relationship with food. No one should condemn anyone for wanting to lose weight. If you're bigger and can move around and do the things you need to do then that's great. I could do that but for me, its to see how healthy I can make myself. ESSENCE.com: You've been a plus-size model for a number of years. How did you start? GORDON: I've been doing it off and on for a number of years. I've done Ebony, Glamour, BET's "Rip the Runway" and Tyra. I got into it by listening to people who had always told I had a great face and a great shape to do it. I started in Chicago doing little shows and when I moved to New York I decided to give it a shot here too. I developed my look, took pictures and it kind of took off from there? ESSENCE.com: How would you advise someone trying to break-in to the biz? GORDON: The requirements are very similar to straight size in that you need to be toned, have good skin, a good facial structure and be photogenic. Shape-wise, your bust, waist, hip ratio should be 8 to 10 inches apart because that gives a nice hourglass appearance. Unfortunately, in fashion, 'plus' starts at size 8 — which to me isn't plus-size. Girls work up to about a size 16. Anything past that and you're getting into specialty sizes and that's very limited. The girls in the catalogues are normally from a size 8 to a size 12/14. ESSENCE.com: Are there a lot of African-American plus-size models? GORDON: There are, because I think our communities allow it. I was talking to a friend recently and they said they felt like its easier for Black girls to get work because its more reflected in the community. ESSENCE.com: Are you allowed to say how much weight you lost on "Money Hungry." GORDON: No, not yet, but I made a lifestyle change. Catch Shante and Jamie (Team "Roll Models") on VH1's "Money Hungry." Mondays at 9pm.

MA | Field of School and Applied Child Psychology
Our onsite and full time MA program in Education Studies in the field of School and Applied Child Psychology is designed to help students to succeed in their areas of interest by supporting them with top-tier researchers and academics, extensive library services, and helpful administrative support. Our master's students become teachers, administrators, and counsellors who influence the lives of young people.
Many graduates from this program hold important roles in various sectors of education at the provincial, national and international levels.
The MA program also prepares students for advanced study and research at the doctoral level.Prospective students are strongly encouraged to visit our Faculty Research page for more information on the exciting research being conducted at the Faculty of Education.
Important note: When submitting an application to the Master of Arts in Education Studies program, applicants must indicate their preferred Thesis Supervisor in their Statement of Intent. Applicants are advised to review the Faculty Research page and contact faculty in their area of interest to confirm that this potential exists.
Below is a summary of the Thesis process. Students must consult the Master's Thesis Guide (PDF), Program Policies web page, and the School of Graduate & Postdoctoral Studies' Thesis Regulation Guide for complete thesis guidelines and regulations.
Once a student completes their required and elective courses they will complete their Individual Proposal Preparation (IPP). By the end of the semester in which a student completes the last required course they must decide on a topic for their thesis and submit the Individual Proposal Preparation (IPP) - Supervisor Approval Form (found on the Forms & Guidelines page).
The IPP provides a structure for the writing of a thesis proposal. An initial review of relevant research provides the background for the proposed study. The methodological framework and the method to be employed are studied and developed. Ethical considerations are investigated and, where appropriate, an ethical review document prepared. The IPP is not a course but a milestone and compulsory element for those writing a Thesis.
The IPP should be completed in one term. The IPP is completed when the proposal and ethical review (where required) have been submitted for approval.
The Thesis Supervisor after consulting with the faculty members concerned, will formally appoint a Thesis Advisory Committee. The Committee will consist of a Thesis Supervisor and at least one additional faculty member who will act as a Thesis Advisory Committee Member. The Thesis Supervisor must be a member of the School of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies with Ph.D. supervisory status, as approved by the Credentials Committee of the School of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies.

Only after all approvals have been obtained the student must start their Master's Thesis and may proceed with the research and the preparation of the thesis under the guidance and review of the Thesis Supervisory Committee. Please note that the Master's Thesis is not a course but a milestone.
When the thesis has been completed and approved by the Thesis Supervisory Committee, the student will submit the Application for Thesis Examination (found on the Forms & Guidelines page) to the Graduate Programs Office.

Italy. The word alone is enough to evoke a series of sensations. For us motor sports fanatics, Italy goes hand in hand wit many great car and motorcycle manufacturers.
But Italy also represents a cultural heritage : la dolce vita. And everything that goes with that life : gastronomy, fashion, design, la music, good wines, tourism …
When organising the SpaItalia in 2020, DG Sport wants to celebrate the whole of Italy. On top of a feast for Italian cars and motorcycles, the Italian way of life will be honoured.
On September 20th 2020, with the track of Spa-Francorchamps in the background, the village as well as its most popular places will live on an Italian rhythm throughout the entire weekend. Benvenuti a tutti !

I've been wanting to assemble and shoot a cheese/charcuterie board for a while now. When hubby and I do a cheese and cured meats dinner, it's usually super unglam and eaten out of the containers they get bought in.
Since my food photography has taken a more serious turn, I've been pushing myself to try different things, and styling and shooting a charcuterie and cheese board was definitely on that list.
There are many things I wish I had done better (including shooting this on a white instead of black background and going for an airier instead of a lusher look). But personally, I'm pleased at pulling off something passable, and it's always a learning experience for the next one.
After perusing the web for a quick lowdown of platter assembly (@cheesebynumbers on Instagram was especially helpful), it looked like the order of assembly tended towards the following:
- Big stuff first
- Meats second
- Everything else popped in between to fill up the entirety of the platter
Using those steps as a general guide seemed to have resulted in a fairly pleasant looking platter!
Total cost of pictured platter: Just under $50 at Woolworths Supermarket.
Shoot details:
- 3/4 angle shoot on tripod
- Overheads done handheld as practice (I usually use an overhead tripod arm)
- Camera: Olympus EM1 Mark II
- Lens: Olympus 12-40mm F2.8 PRO at varying lengths (super versatile this one!)
- Lighting: Side lighting using a single speedlight mounted in an octa softbox. Foam board on the opposite side as fill.
- Image details: ISO200, 1/250 secs, F8 for overheads and F5 for 3/4 shots. Focal lengths varying, but wide for overhead, and 40 mm for 3/4s.
- Editing: Some tweaking in Lightroom, mainly to tone down highlights on the cheddar, and to bring out the shadows and darker tones for contrast. In all, it ended up quite Christmassy looking.
And no, the dog didn't get any. I forgot I actually gave her a teeny bit of cheddar.

Virtual Clarity kicks off rugby charity partnership with Project Turn-Over
London UK, 2 April 2019 - Are you ready for a partnership that's going to knock you off your feet? IT transformation specialist Virtual Clarity and Dutch sport rehabilitation initiative Project Turn-Over are teaming up to emulate Turn-Over's incredible success in Holland over here!
What the Ruck? Well, following a successful summit in London in October, the two companies have gone for full touch contact and signed a three-year partnership, with the goal of setting up Project Turn-Over in the UK. The initiative kicks off at 14:30 GMT at the Amsterdam 7s tournament in June 2019.
Check out the video here.
"As part of our 'Give a Damn' program of giving back, Virtual Clarity is thrilled to be helping Turn-Over, a groundbreakingly intensive rugby-based program, helping young adults to change paths and, by doing so, their lives," said Virtual Clarity managing director Steve Peskin. "The unparalleled success rate of Turn-Over is truly inspiring, and we look forward to replicating their phenomenal achievements here in the UK."
Turn-Over is a proven rugby-centric program that has helped over 300 youths to successfully exit institutionalization and join the scrum of mainstream society. Each Turn-Over class removes sixteen of its members from alternative provisioning and saves local education agencies £1million annually. Of those entering the program, 80% graduate with either a job or in full-time education, and, after four years, 70% are still on track.
"It is amazing that, after so much hard work, a company such as Virtual Clarity recognized the value and has confidence in our methods to help problematic youngsters to create a better future for themselves," added Turn-Over founder Joeri Peperkamp.
The companies are going to give a good try of expanding the initiative to the USA in 2020.

Alabama Self-Defense: Woman confronts intruder inside Eastern Shore home :: 09/06/2019
BALDWIN COUNTY, Ala. (WALA) -- Scary moments in a quiet Eastern Shore neighborhood Thursday morning during a bizarre shooting incident.
According to Baldwin County Sheriff's Officials, a woman taking a bath, confronts a female intruder, then opens fire, wounding her.
It happened on Collier Loop.
Baldwin County Sheriffs Investigators converged on the home Thursday morning after reports a woman was shot.
Baldwin County Sheriff's Office Captain Cliff Cadenhead said, "The current homeowner was actually in the bathtub and she had two young juvenile children who were in the house also, and the kids heard some movement or whatever going on in the house, would go out there and look and see someone in the house that shouldn't be in the house."
Sheriff's officials say the children told their mother and she told them to get out of the house
However, Cadenhead said, "But they didn't get out of the house, and she ended up getting a handgun. There was an initial confrontation and, then, there was a struggle over the firearm and it appears that the homeowner shot the person that got shot in the stomach."
The woman who was shot was flown to University Hospital in Mobile, but was alert and conscious.
Oveta Burkhart and her mother live a few houses away.
Burkhart said, "I heard the helicopters going over the house, then I heard one, then I heard another one shortly after."
Burkhart said authorities then came to her home.
She said, "I heard a knock at the door and I went to the door it was two police officers and they were asking me if I had heard anything and I said 'No, sir,' and he said there had been a shooting in the neighborhood and I was very shocked at that in this neighborhood."
Burkhart's Mother, Merilyn Pierce said, "The cops knocked on our door and told us what had happened and that everything was under control, and so we waited for a while, but it just kept on being more people coming and more cops coming, so we came out and sit and watched them."
Another neighbor, Daniel Womble, said, "It's surprising. It's a really nice neighborhood. I haven't met these people specifically, but I met a lot of people in the neighborhood and its always been a calm neighborhood."
Sheriff's officials have not released any names and say no charges have been filed right now.

Democrats angrily denounced a Republican-led effort to strip food stamp funding from the farm bill and vote on SNAP spending separately, with one even suggesting that biblical principles demand lawmakers provide the benefit.
SNAP stands for the federal government's Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program.
The move ultimately passed, 216-208, on predominantly party lines. But not before Democrats had their say.

Rep. Dave Loebsack called the action "unconscionable," USA Today reported. Sen. Debbie Stabenow, who heads the Senate Agriculture Committee, said it was "an insult to rural America."
But Rep. Corrine Brown's comments ratcheted the rhetoric to hotter levels.
"The Bible says, 'to whom much is given, much is required.' This is a sad day in the House of Representatives. Shame on the Republicans. Shame on the House of Representatives," she said, Breitbart reported.
Rep. Kristi Noem, South Dakota Republican, said the House will likely vote on the stripped out portions of the bill that deal with food stamp funding "in the next week or two," USA Today reported.
Nearly 48 million Americans are now on food stamps, the Food Research and Action Center reported.

I was totally on a roll at this point.
Next on my list of "do not miss" was My Audio Design, one of the new lines Colleen Cardas Imports was bringing to the States, and one I'd missed at CES. Arnold Martinez and Tweak Studio was showing a pair of Duke Royal Limited loudspeakers ($48k/pair). Shown here with a suite of components from New Zealand from a relatively new-to-me company called PureAudio, the Vinyl Phono preamplifier ($4,500), Control preamplifier ($9,500) and Reference Class A monoblocks ($15,550/pair). The aesthetic is a bit like seeing an exposed aluminum skeleton, which is a bit freaky. But with that sound coming out of the Dukes Royals, I won't get hung up on it. A SOTA Millennia Series III turntable and SME tonearm and a Soundsmith Hyperion cartridge pulled tunes from the grooves. WyWires cables were used throughout and the gear sat on a slick-looking Trellis Audio rack and amp stands. Back to the speakers -- they're not big. At the asking price, I figured I'd be looking up, not down, at them, but while I was sitting there thinking of the lettering you'll find on the passenger-side mirrors in US cars – "objects in the mirror are closer than they appear" -- the Duke Royal Limited were blithely putting out some of the most elegant sound on display at AXPONA. Extremely refined – and coming from the TIDAL room, this was anything but a let down. 'Outstanding' was what I wrote in the margins of my flier, and while I was shrugging at the apparent pricing disconnect, I saw the extremely cool marquetry on the side cabinet – hello, Union Jack. All told, a very surprising speaker.
Speaking of Soundsmith – this was my next stop. Peter Ledermann announced a suite of new Strain Gauge phono preamplifiers (starting at $6,500) at RMAF last year. With a variety of options for the widget-inclined, the differences between the SG200, SG210, SG220 have everything to do with the preamplifier section – want variable gain output? Multiple, switchable sources? Then move up the chain. No? Then the "entry level" is your ticket. Played here on a magnificent VPI HRX turntable on a Schroeder SG Reference Arm, the Strain Gauge put out what I call a classic Soundsmith show-stopper sound – it was arresting. Don't think the Strain Gauge can sound good? Ha. Your loss!
Another note – did you know that Soundsmith offers a full kit? The Monarch and Dragonfly standmount loudspeakers are reference quality offered for (relative) peanuts and the HE-150 stereo amplifiers, here wired for a sweet 440wpc in mono, are simply outstanding. Yes, Soundsmith "does" cartridges, but that's just the beginning. Also shown here was the upgrade to the revolutionary cactus-cantilevered Hyperion, the Hyperion II ($7,499 with an industry-leading 10-year warranty). The Hyperion II "features even better channel separation (and it was scary before), improved pulse response and the introduction of a 470 Ohm load version, making it compatible with wider variety of preamps (the original was a 1000 ohm minimum load suggested). Still available in both CL and OCL styli configurations, as well as LT versions of same for passive linear arms where there might be any concern for slight lateral drag, as the LT version has lower compliance in the horizontal plane (patents pending).
Like big speakers? You're gonna love the new Von Schweikert. Your Final System of Rochester, NY, managed the rather massive and delicate task of maneuvering the giant prototype VSA VR-100xs "Universe" System. Pricing is set at $140k/pair and includes the towers and a pair of EX V15 subwoofers. A Purity Audio Ultra GT (now $53k) preamplifier was sending the high signals to a KR Audio SXi MkII integrated ($21k) and low signals to a pair of Channel Island D200 Mk II monoblocks ($3,500/pair). Source was a Your Final System branded server, the HD Ref 3 Limited Edition Music Server System ($14,500). An EMM Labs DAC 2x ($15k) handled the conversion. Cabling came from VSA's "MasterBuilt" line. $37k worth of Critical Mass Systems racks and stand held everything in place. Room treatments came from ASC, ATS and GIK.
The VR-100xs features drivers that started life at the Excel line at SEAS before being spec'd, matched, modified and mounted around a ribbon tweeter, sitting square in center of the array. The external subs are there for obvious reasons; together, the system is capable of reaching 8Hz at -6dB and Albert Von Schweikert assured me that it measures flat to 16Hz – just for those of you with pipe organ fetishes (you know who you are). Interestingly, the group delay for the four speakers (towers plus subs) is an astonishingly low 2.8ms. On the other end of the frequency range, the upper limits aren't precisely known. Flat to 40k, measuring anything beyond that is a bit of a challenge, but Albert Von Schweikert confided that the team is convinced that a -6dB number at 100kHz is a reasonable expectation. Ahem. Don't like the output? It's adjustable with a "click-stop" autoformer, with adjustments from -6dB to +1dB in quarter-dB steps. Overall impedance is about 6 ohms, with a dip to 3.4 ohms at 300Hz. Sensitivity is about 89dB. The cabinet is a triple-laminate with different Q-values, so resonances simply cancel. One of those layers is concrete, which may explain why the speakers are 468lbs – and yes, that's each. A rear-mounted horn-loaded tweeter and ribbon super-tweeter add ambience and support.
The Universe is a crazy beast of a loudspeaker. Personally, I'd love to hear it with more power on tap – we managed to send the Kronzilla into protection – and yes, that was before I even sat down or asked to play something, so don't look at me. It must have been all that classical crap. Anyway, I figured a little Morcheeba would appropriately re-set the pace – and give me a window into the speaker. Hee hee! Ahem. Yes, [cough], the speaker was able to render the bass … ah … very satisfactorily. Looking forward to seeing this baby at future shows, but have to say, it was a great debut.

Men Style Guide – Men Fashion Trends in Pakistan
Style matters as much for men as it does for women. Pakistani men are increasingly style conscious, but there are still plenty who look scruffy compared to the woman on their arm. With apologies to the many well-dressed men out there, here are some styling tips for the average Pakistani man.
Men Style Guide
Men Style Guide – The number one no-no for guys is definitely body odour (BO). Our tropical climate means you can't help but sweat, but you can definitely make sure you don't smell. Extra strength deodorant should definitely be on your bathroom shelf but don't make the teenage mistake of trying to mask BO with an extra squirt of spray. Pair that antiperspirant with generous use of soap and water; nothing beats regular showering.
Staying on the topic of grooming brings us to the next biggest fashion crime, which has to be bad hair. This covers everything from joined up eyebrows to dandruff to brylcream. Even worse, most guys haven't changed their hairstyle in decades and nothing is more aging than a staid hairstyle. With so many men's salons out there now, there really isn't any excuse. No one's saying you have to turn into Beckham and sport a different style every week, but there's no harm in experimenting a little. Even if your job demands you look professional, there is nothing wrong with going for a more 'with it' look. At worst, you'll have to wait a couple of weeks to grow out a style you don't like while at best your hotness rating could go through the roof.
Men Style Guide – When it comes to dressing well, the styling tool most under-used by men is definitely the iron. Since most men here don't even have to do their own ironing, it's criminal how many guys you see in crumpled and badly pressed clothes. If your domestic arrangements leave something to be desired, invest in the services of a laundry. Ironing is so cheap that there isn't any need to go around looking as if you slept in your clothes. Of course, if that's the look you are going for, do it right and make sure that your clothes fit well and are so up to date they give off sparks.
Do make sure you find a good tailor. If custom tailoring from the excellent Cochese in Lahore is above your touch, hunt out a good tailor who can do those little alterations that make clothes sit properly, no matter what your size or shape. On the subject of fit, make no mistake, cut is as important in men's clothing as it is in women's clothing. There is a reason that designers experiment year after year with silhouette and cut. Try on a pair of your eighties trousers and then go and try on a pair of recent Armani pants. You'll be shocked at the difference. Either your eighties pants will be shockingly tight or will be baggy around the thighs and butt, while the Armani pants will make you look slimmer, taller and better built. Your budget may not stretch to Armani, but shopping around will help you find clothes that are cut well, and that is the key to being better dressed.
Lastly, remember that people notice a guy's accessories too, so make sure you spend that little bit extra on your shoes and watch. It's worth investing in pieces that you are wearing almost constantly and great accessories can lift any outfit. Oh, and a final tip, never ever wear white socks unless you are playing sports.
For those guys thinking that fashion doesn't matter, remember that the most powerful men in the world pay spin doctors through the nose to help them look better. It's a brave new world out there and nowadays, it isn't just women who are judged by their appearance. Ambitious guys, take note.http://www.fashiontrendsinpk.com/mens-style-guide-2014-men-fashion-trends-pakistan/http://www.fashiontrendsinpk.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/01_zpsbf61d2cb.jpghttp://www.fashiontrendsinpk.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/01_zpsbf61d2cb-150x150.jpgMen Dresses Fashion 2017 Boys New Stylish Kurta DesignsMen Fashion Trends 2014,Men Fashion Trends in Pakistan,Men's Style Guide 2014Style matters as much for men as it does for women.

The Best Things A Golf Holiday Can Give You
More and more people nowadays are seeking a far away destination when they go on a golf holiday away for reality. Back then, people go on a long drive to get to their vacation spot, but nowadays, they hop on a plane and go see another country mainly because they have a great program for a golf holiday. People would not just limit their choice to an area that has a great golf course, but rather, they would also seek one that has an amazing scenery and a sunny weather. What makes vacationing even more fun today is that resorts no longer just limit their activities to golfing but rather, the offer other fun things to like going through a safari, spa treatment, or even other sports.
Many would not even mind hoping on a plane and traveling for many hours for as long as the destination was all worth it. Luxury is the one thing that people want when they are on vacation because they would want to get the best out of their money. Another thing that people would take a look at is the food that is being offered because the wonderful golf courses has to be paired with an amazing menu.
Golfing abroad will be nothing like playing golf near your area. There are countries wherein a huge chunk is made of deserts, but there are areas where you see golf courses that will just blow your mind off. These places are so beautiful that the tourists who come to visit would always want to visit again.
Part of the luxury package that these places offer is the freedom to play golf for as long as you wish to. Flood lighting is a form of luxury brought by lighting up the entire golf course all night so that the customers can continue to play even when the sun is already down. There are so many people skeptical about the idea of playing at night because they think it would probably stress out their eyes but what they do not know is that flood lighting is very efficient that there are some golfers these days that would prefer playing at night rather than being under the heat of the sun. There are some golfers that would be in need of new equipment while they are playing and this is the main reason equipment stores are strategically placed near the golf course.
If you only have a short period of time for your vacation leave then you do not have to sit on a plane for several hours, but rather, just drive to the golf courses around your area and they would probably be able to provide you with the luxury you seek.

The Royal Moroccan Football Federation decided to cancel the game between the Moroccan national team and its Brazilian counterpart, a game initially scheduled for next March.
The decision came following the Moroccan federation being told that La Samba team will only play with team B rather than A.
The Moroccan Federation spokesman also said that the fees asked by the company that has initially organized the game "are exaggerated for a friendly match."
The said company is currently negotiating with both Chile and Uruguay.
The FRMF spokesman insisted that Morocco's next opponents "will be one of the best national teams in the world."

Brazil has revoked an invitation to the envoy for Venezuelan opposition leader Juan Guaido to present her diplomatic credentials, the envoy commented on Friday, with Brasilia expected to rule on whether to accept them or not.
Guaido's ambassador, Maria Teresa Belandria, dismissed the belief that the invitation withdrawal could indicate there was some change in the Brazilian government's stance. However, she confirmed to journalists that she was "uninvited".
"Reception or not of the letters of accreditation will be assessed at a more convenient moment," Brazil's presidential spokesman General Otavio Rego Barro commented, adding that Belandria was the representative of Venezuela's "legitimate president" and denying an invitation had been withdrawn.
Belandria had been invited to present her credentials at the presidential palace along with the other countries' envoys, before the government abruptly reconsidered.
According to a report by Brazilian newspapers Folha de S.Paulo and O Globo, Bolsonaro's government has cancelled her invitation because ex-military advisers seek negotiations with Maduro. Meanwhile, the real Venezuelan ambassador's credentials haven't been revoked.
"They realise Brazil has to deal with the reality that Maduro is not going anywhere right now and, even if he leaves, Guaido will not be president and a general will likely take his place," Reuters cited Oliver Stuenkel, a professor of foreign relations at the Getulio Vargas Foundation in São Paulo, as saying regarding the decision.
Brazil's new right-wing President Jair Bolsonaro had taken sides with the US in his sharp criticism of Guaido, and Trump's advisers reportedly pressed him to take a harder line on Maduro, sparking worries about the possible positioning of US troops in Brazil. Mirroring these concerns, Brazilian diplomat Paulo Roberto de Almeida noted resolutely that the recognition of Guaido's envoy "was never agreed to by the military, who vetoed the idea of a US base in Brazil from day one".

A political crisis has been raging in Venezuela since January, when opposition leader Juan Guaido proclaimed himself interim president. Washington and its Western allies endorsed Guaido, while Maduro, in turn, accused the United States of trying to orchestrate a coup in order to install Guaido as its puppet and take over Venezuela's rich natural resources.
Russia, China, Bolivia, Turkey and a number of other countries have voiced their support for Maduro as the Latin American country's legitimate president.

Early intervention (EI) services for people with psychosis are designed to improve outcomes, decrease illness severity and reduce a patient's risk of social drift, thereby limiting healthcare costs. A retrospective study of healthcare costs in Spain found that indirect costs related to factors such as work absence, job loss, care provided by social workers, and criminal justice services, account for the majority of healthcare expenditure during EI. Coordinated specialized care (CSC) programs, such as OnTrackNY, provide supported education and employment (SEE) services that help increase education/employment among people with early psychosis, potentially reducing indirect costs.
A retrospective analysis of clinical records from 157 patients in the Programa Atención Fases Iniciales de Psychosis (PAFIP) and the Cantabria Health Service evaluated the short-term (1-year) direct and indirect cost of an EI FEP Program in Cantabria, Spain.1
Total costs during the first year of FEP care were more than €48,353 per patient; of these, direct healthcare costs accounted for 28.39% (€13,729), direct non-medical costs accounted for 0.22% (€109), and indirect costs accounted for 71.39% (€34,515). Hospitalization costs and treatment costs were higher in people with greater numbers of relapses. Higher indirect costs were observed in younger patients (i.e. those of working age). This suggests that greater healthcare resources should be allocated to young adults.
Hospitalization costs and treatment costs were higher in people with greater numbers of relapses
The onset of psychosis is most common in young adulthood and although most people with psychosis want to work, the onset of symptoms at this critical time of life often disrupts academic/vocational trajectory. OnTrackNY is a novel coordinated specialized care, early intervention program available at 21 sites in New York. It provides team-based services, including psychotherapy, medication, family support/education, case management, and peer support, combined with SEE services, designed to increase education and employment.
A study of 779 patients enrolled in OnTrackNY investigated the effects of SEE on levels education/employment in people with FEP. Data were collected by clinical staff at admission and every quarter thereafter.
Overall 41% of participants were enrolled in work/school at baseline; OnTrackNY increased these rates to 63% after 3 months, and more than 70% after 6 months
Overall 41% of participants were enrolled in work/school at baseline; OnTrackNY increased these rates to 63% after 3 months, and more than 70% after 6 months. Use of SEE was highly correlated with levels of school enrolment in the subsequent quarter. However, the story was slightly different for employment. Although there was a significant association between SEE use and employment in the first few months, the positive association decreased towards the end of the first year. This suggests a benefit for ongoing SEE in schools but a reduced need for ongoing support in the workplace. Further studies are required to fully understand this relationship and to investigate the impact of increased education/employment on the indirect costs of early psychosis.

Scrub your lists of telephone numbers of consumers (both prospects and customers) who have asked you not to contact them. This applies to marketers and non-profits and third-parties calling on their behalf.
Scrub your lists of any prospects' phone numbers that are on the FTC's DoNot-Call registry.
Consumers will be allowed to sign up via the Internet or by telephone. If they sign-up on the Internet then they will be e-mailed a confirmation notice. If they register by phone then they must call from the phone number they wish to be added to the national DNC registry. It is our understanding that the national DNC registry will only include telephone numbers and not addresses, names or other identifying information.
You cannot contact prospects who are on the national DNC registry unless you receive the consumer's signed permission to do so.
Section 31.4(b)(1)(iii)(B) p. 252.
To review which states currently have DNC laws, click here.
Effective January 29, 2004, every outbound call must transmit the phone number of the seller, service bureau or customer service number that will be answered during normal business hours. You must also include the name of the seller or service bureau wherever technology is available. And under no circumstance are you to block transmission of caller identification.
Section 310.4(a)(7) p. 251.
Effective October 1, 2003, you must connect all calls to live representatives within 2 seconds of the consumer's completed greeting. If you do not do so
then the call is considered abandoned and is a violation of the TSR. Even those calls that are answered by a live representative after 2 seconds of the
consumer's completed greeting would still be considered an abandoned call and a violation of the Rule.
Section 310.4 (b)(iv) p. 252.
If at this point, or at any other time during the call, the consumer asks to be placed on your company's DNC list then you should honor the consumer's request. You should add the consumer to your company's DNC list, refrain from calling the consumer during any future marketing campaign, and promptly and politely end the call.
In addition you must meet the following requirements if you incorporate any of these elements into your negative option, continuity or advanced consent marketing plans.
The FTC discusses in its commentary on the Rule that it is not merely the material terms that are provided to the consumer, but also the context and manner in which the offer is presented that is vital to determining the consumer's consent to the transaction. Therefore, you should record the entire transaction. It would not be sufficient to just tape the closing sale confirmation. (p.115.)
The FTC discusses in its commentary on the Rule that consumers must affirmatively and unambiguously articulate their consent to be charged for a product or service. The best way to achieve this result is for consumers to state that they agree to the purchase and to provide part or all of the account they wish the charge to be made. However, the FTC leaves it up to you to decide the best way to achieve this result. (p. 111.)
Effective March 31, 2003, if you solicit for the purchase of goods or services following an initial transaction that occurs during a single telephone call then
under the Rule, you must meet new disclosure requirements. It does not matter if the upsell occurs during an inbound or outbound call, the same rules apply. The FTC treats each upsell as a separate telemarketing transaction, and creates 2 separate categories – internal and external upsells.
Internal upsell occurs when the customer is offered another product or service from or on behalf of the seller from the initial transaction. It does not matter if the initial or subsequent transaction is made by the same telemarketer. Under an internal upsell, you must provide any new disclosures not provided during the initial transaction.
External upsell occurs when the customer is offered a product or service from someone other than the seller from the initial transaction. It does not matter if the initial or subsequent transaction is made by the same telemarketer. Under an external upsell, you must provide:
If novel payments, negative option, preacquired account information, and/or free-to-pay conversion plans are used then all previous relevant disclosures must be repeated for each upsell.
Each telemarketer should retain the following records for 2 years from the date the record was produced:
Records can be maintained in any format.
Section 310.5 pp. 255-256.

5 Best Air Purifier to Remove Dust & Pet Hairs in 2020
Generally, allergies can be devastating to the health of some people more than others. Pet owners are more likely to suffer from allergies caused by pet hair, dander, and odors. Other sources of allergies include environmental elements like pollen grains, weeds, and dust.
It is, therefore, important to safeguard ourselves and those we love by continuously improving our environment. One of the effective ways of managing dog allergy is using the best air purifier for pet hair, dander, and allergies.
While there are two types of air purifiers: Traditional and HEPA purifiers, HEPA air purifiers are more efficient compared to the former.
So what are HEPA air purifiers?, How do they work?, What are some of its benefits?.
Read on.
An Air purifier system is a device that assists in the removal of contaminated air from our residents. It improves indoor air quality by cleaning air pollutants such as dust, pollen, fur, and smoke.
Some of the benefits of using an air purifier include reduction of fatigue since fresh air boosts your energy levels, an increase in blood circulation, and making your immune guards stronger and fierce towards external invasion.
For the ultimate indoor air quality, therefore, you need to use a HEPA air purifier. HEPA is an acronym for "High-Efficiency Particulate Air" or "High-Efficiency Particulate Arrestance."
An air purifier with HEPA filters is better than one with tradition filters. This is because it improves air quality without running up your electricity bill.
Furthermore, unlike the traditional purifiers, the Best HEPA Air Purifier for Dog Allergy is highly efficient at capturing microscopic particle, including pet dander and mold.
Best Air Purifier for Pet Hair, Dander and Allergy
1. Alen BreatheSmart Classic
Standing at 10 x 17.8 x 26.8 inches, Alen is a pragmatic and appealing purifier that cleans your indoor air to your satisfaction.
Designed with the NASA airflow engineers in mind, the BreatheSmart Classic is ideal for tackling the largest spaces in your home with ease. Advertised for large rooms or open concept unit, the Alen Classic can efficiently clean a modest space of 1100 SqFt every 30 minutes.
With the Alen Classic, any time is cleaning time. Thanks to the WhisperMax technology which renders the purifier super quiet; twice as quiet as key competitors on Turbo Speed.
What we like most about the Alen Classic is the proprietary HEPA-OdorCell, an eliminating compound, that helps in destroying unwanted household odors at molecular levels. Therefore, no need to worry when your pet makes a mess or you make diaper change to your little one. The HEPA-OdorCell is your all-around home odor solution.
When it comes to smarts, we are further intrigued by intuitive intelligence that detects airborne particles with the aid of highly efficient Laser Smart Sensor. Similarly, the auto-mode function allows the purifier to self-adjust depending on the ever-changing indoor temperament so that you don't have to do it manually.
Sporting a sleek and subtle appearance, the Alen Classic is available in a vast array of colors. The designed panels on the purifier are versatile enough to complement the different styles of decor and add taste to your home.
No more pet dander, allergies and dust in your home with this Alen Air Purifier which is the best at its work - filtering microscopic particles in the air.
2. Rabbit Air BioGS 2.0 (Editor's Pick)
If you`re looking for an exceptionally super quiet air filter for a small room, the Rabbit Ultra Quiet SPA is the ideal choice.
Rather than using the traditional brushed motors, the secret to the quiet operation lies in the Brushless Direct Current Motor Blade which is more efficient and quieter.
What`s more, the blades can operate at five varying speeds, with the lowest speed having virtually no sound.
A major highlight which is vital for individuals with (dog) allergy is the BioGS HEPA filter. The HEPA filter is highly efficient at trapping microscopic air particles down to 0.3 microns in size like dog dander, dust, and smoke particles.
The optimum filter efficiency is not only essential for reducing allergies but also supporting a prolonged filter life.
Speaking of prolonged life, the Rabbit Air is economical at the very least. For a start, the Charcoal-based filters last up to 3 years, based on 12 hours daily use. While the pre-filter, which traps the large particles, lint, and hair, is permanent and washable.
Like the Alen Classic air purifier, the Rabbit SPA-550A has odor correction function. But rather than using proprietary technology, it makes use of the time-tested activated charcoal carbon filters to reduce odors and VOCs.
Alongside the odor-function is a negative ion generator, which is handy in fortifying and freshening your indoor air.
3. Honeywell True HEPA Allergen Remover
Aptly named the Honeywell, you can`t fail to notice this striking purifier with a "tube" like dimension dotted with rounded and bumped strings.
Ideal for medium rooms (155 sq ft), the Honeywell filter continuously captures and traps particulate matter, as small as 0.3 microns. The filter traps all the allergy-causing matter ranging from dander, dust, smoke, and any airborne materials, meaning that dog allergies are a thing of the past with the Honeywell.
Though the pre-filter is not permanent or washable as in the case of the Rabbit Air, it has a modest lifeline of 3 months. The HEPA filter on the other hand, which traps the microscopic details has a generous life of one (1) year before replacement.
Again, the filters are designed in a friendly manner made with the DIYers in mind, and no tools are required to change the filters.
The carbon filters fitted on the Rabbit Air are necessary for eliminating VOCs/Gases/Odors.
What users of this product like most is the fact that it sucks pollutants from the front part, and releases pure air from the top, thus making it convenient to place beside a wall for floor saving.
4. GermGuardian AC4825 (Budget Friendly)
When it comes to choosing the ideal HEPA air purifier, you will be looking for an efficient and convenient electronic.
Small and portable, the Germ Guardian is a budget-friendly option that will awe you with its performance.
A major highlight of this air filter is the optional UV-C light technology that works alongside Titanium Dioxide.
The above combo is calibrated to provide a sterile environment in your indoors. It works by killing airborne germs, bacteria, fungi, and viruses such as influenza, staph, and rhinovirus that pose health risks.
Besides killing germs, it performs like a typical HEPA purifier by removing 99.9% of the microscopic pet dander, dust, and smoke molecules. Hence, doing away with the allergy risks posed by the particles.
For an odorless experience, the Germ Guardian features activated Carbon filter, which removes all types of odors from your home.
In a nutshell, the device is crucial for transforming and keeping your environment safe, and clean for your entire family.
5. LEVOIT LV-H132 (Minimalistic Design)
If you`re looking for an air purifier that is sleeker, minimalist, and more appealing, then consider the Levoit Air Purifier.
The purifier features 3-stage filtration for the ultimate air quality:
A pre-filter to remove the large and tangible particles.
A true-HEPA filter for removing the microscopic allergy-causing molecules such as dog dander and smoke particle.
An activated carbon filter for removing pet odor
With 3 speed settings, the LV offers customization for the different indoor air conditions.
What we love most about the LV is that it`s 100% ozone-free as it does not use UV or ions for air fortification.
What is a HEPA Air Purifier in Laymans' Language?
To paint a clear image of what it means by having a HEPA air filter vs traditional air filter, imagine yourself taking a road trip driving a BMW 3/15. Although it was a classic car of its time, it's still a 1927 make. Meaning, it's old, sluggish, noisy, bumpy, and even worse, it lacks anything close to a modern ventilation system or even an excellent engine cooling system. Let's just conclude you won't make it across Texas during summertime, leave alone alive in Nevada desert.
On the flip side, with an Air purifier fitted with HEPA, it is like taking a ride with latest BMW G15 8 Series. It's not only sleek, but it's also fast, it has an AI tech better than what BMW has ever built, and its suspensions are awesome. But even better, it has an auto-ventilation system that checks on the temperature and adjusts the fan to provide a cool or a warm relaxing air no matter the weather outside. In fact, it's everything to live for.
What this simply means, A HEPA fitted Air filter is super awesome.
And here is why.
A HEPA Certified filter must pass the test of capturing 99.97% of 0.3-micron particle in size. It must filter a particle of 0.000012-inches in diameter and 300 times smaller than the human hair. It also means the size is 25 to 50 times smaller than what your eye can see.
Factors To Consider When Buying HEPA Air Purifier For Dogs With Allergies.
When buying the best HEPA Air purifier, you need to consider some factors that include:
Your Personal Needs
There are a plethora of air filters in the market, and every filter serves a specific purpose.
Therefore, before purchasing a filter, you should first consider your specific needs.
For instance, if you have a pet, and you are looking to manage pet dander, you should purchase an air purifier with a HEPA filter.
HEPA filters offer an extra layer of capturing the microscopic and molecular particles, which would otherwise not get trapped in a regular filter.
The Floor Area of your House
Next in line is to consider the size of your house.
When it comes to floor area, the size of purifier matters a lot. Generally, the larger your room, the larger the air purifier unit you will need.
As a result, air purifiers are available in a wide range of sizes.
For instance, if you have a large room, a purifier such as the Alen BreatheSmart Classic would be a perfect match.
Conversely, for the medium and small units, the Honeywell True HEPA Allergen Remover and Germ Guardian AC4825 would make ideal options respectively.
The Noise Level of the Air Purifier
It's agreeable, while the noise may not be a deterrent, the constant whirring can be irritating.
Fortunately, all the purifiers we have listed above are great at keeping the noise levels to a bare minimum.
The Cost of the Air Purifier
The cost of Air Purifiers ranges from about $50 to above $500. It is important however to work within your means. Nonetheless, do not feel guilty spending an extra coin for high-quality purifier. But that's not to say that budget-friendly ones perform poorly or won't meet your needs.
HEPA Filters vs Traditional Filters
With over 10% of the USA residents suffering from Allergies, a HEPA filter seems to cut the edge over the traditional filters. This is because of the efficiency of its filtration process compared to the traditional filters.
Because of this, HEPA air filters have gained popularity in the last few years.
The air filter must meet the HEPA filter standards.
As such, with a perfectly functional HEPA filter, you can be assured that the air you breath would be free from 99.9% of the air pollutants compared to the tradition air filters.
Because of this, HEPA air filters have gained popularity in the last few years.
How HEPA Filters Work
To maintain such high efficiency, the HEPA filters leverage on thousands of extremely fine fibers arranged in matt-form to intercept both miniature particles and large ones.
Think of the fibers as a mesh of tangled fibers that is further folded into pleats to boost the surface area and filter life.
Benefits of HEPA Filters
The HEPA filter is a tried and tested technology, which has been approved against a high air purification standard.
That means that the certified filter efficiency is way beyond the satisfaction. Did we mention that It's only tested at 3-micron particle size? Meaning, it can trap everything from dangling molds and allergens like dust, dog dander, and particles of cigarette dust.
Another thing to note, unlike the electronically-charged and other air filters whose efficiency reduces over time, the HEPA filters are robust such that even when dirtier, they still maintain their efficiency.
Air Purifier FAQs
Where Should I Place My HEPA Purifier?
If you only have a single purifier, you should place it in a room where you probably spend most of your time. Also, place it in a room that you deem to have the worst air quality.
As far as room placement is concerned, you should pay attention to safety and airflow.
For great performance, place it in a place with less foot traffic to avoid tripping of wires.
Also, place it at least two or three feet from the wall for maximum airflow.
One final tidbit, purifiers are most efficient with the doors and windows closed.
For more clearer information regarding safety and placement, consult with the manufacturer's manual before using it.
How Often Should I Run My Purifier?
Ideally, it`s recommended that you keep it running throughout, particularly if you have an allergy. However, you can keep it running for 12 hours a day, it works just fine!
If you find a HEPA purifier with multiple speeds, you can activate the lowest speed when you`re away.
What Is CADR?
CADR is an abbreviation of Clean Air Delivery Rate, and it denotes the rate at which a purifier delivers air, and it`s effectiveness at filtering the airborne molecules.
The higher the CADR number, the better the air purifier.
Are Air Purifiers Dangerous?
Note that, air filters are the solution rather than the problem. They help in filtering muddled air and increase the level of fresh air. With dogs and other pets around, having an air filter ensures that your environment is not only safe but also survivable for persons suffering from allergies.
What Breed Of Dog Should I Own that Work Well With Air Purifiers?
With the best air purifier, you don't need to worry about the breed of dog you own. This is because air purifiers work to reduce all the impurities in the air.
However, you still need to reduce the chances of dog dander in the house by getting yourself the best non-shedding dog for your family.
That doesn't mean you are off the hook. You need to do more to make sure your dog is safe and at most health. This calls for regular grooming using dog shampoos.
Also, observe cleanliness within your house and make sure to feed your dog with the best dog food.
This ensures that your dog doesn't suffer from allergies and enjoys good health - to prevent infection and release of dander.

There's no denying the importance of dental X-rays. They can detect oral problems that hide between your teeth. And they help dentist snip these issues in the bud before they turn serious. But while they're invaluable, some might be wary with them. Especially when it comes to radiation exposure. That said, are dental X-rays safe for children?
Indeed, radiation exposure can be a scary thing. While the small doses we take in from the background don't account for much, constant exposure can lead to heightened cell damage. And while cells can heal themselves from this, over time, the amount of damage accumulated may overtake the cell's rate of repair, causing damage to the DNA. And when DNA damage occurs, dangerous complications arise, such as cancer.
X-rays, be it for the bones or the teeth, are a source of radiation. This fact may make parents wary when they learn their child needs them, particularly during their dentist's appointment. But are dental X-rays safe for children?
How much radiation do X-rays emit?
The radiation emitted by X-rays can be harmful on a cellular level. These rays are a type of ionizing radiation. Under this classification, any light emitted by these rays is strong enough to knock out an electron from its pair an atom's nucleus. In cells, the unpaired electrons—now known as ions—search for another electron to pair with. As it does so, it goes through cell tissue haphazardly, causing damage as it goes through.
For the most part, cells have repair systems that help then regenerate after this to prevent any mutations in the DNA. However, if too much damage occurs, it can overtake these systems and cause unwanted variation to the DNA code.
But while X-rays do emit ionizing radiation, researchers have concluded that their levels are too low to give a significant cancer risk. Medical News Today notes that the dosage X-rays provide are comparable to the background radiation we receive on the daily—that is, very little. And since X-rays are done sparingly, an individual may barely experience the effects.
Are dental X-rays safe for children?
All this considered, what does this mean for dental X-rays? Especially those catered to children? While X-rays do emit low doses of radiation as opposed to CT scans, children are still more susceptible to their effects as opposed to adults. However, while this vulnerability exists, there are measures in place to mitigate exposure.
For one, offices with a pediatric practice can usually adjust the radiation to the lowest dosage, as children don't need too much radiation for the X-rays to get an impression. Recently, several dental clinics have also adopted the use of digital X-rays, which use less radiation than traditional imaging. And to ensure there will be no radiation penetration on the other parts of their bodies, patients are also given an apron to deflect the rest of the rays.
Are dental X-rays, then, safe for children? One would be inclined to say yes. With the proper measures are in place, your kids are in safe hands. But if dental X-rays still unnerve you, it's always best to ask the dentist beforehand.

Be sure to check out the following tips to keep your little ones, and adults alike, healthy and active during the holidays.
• Play a game outside. Tag, soccer or touch football are always favorites.
• Hit the slopes. Go sledding or snowboarding at various ski resorts, just a couple of hours away from Orange County. Beginners are always welcome.
• Create a holiday-themed scavenger hunt using holiday items such as ornaments/decorations, gag gifts, candy and more. Get the family moving by placing the items throughout the entire house, even outside.
• Have a family dance party or competition after dinner. Laughing burns calories!
• Make holiday shopping an opportunity to be active. Walk as much as possible. Where possible in some shopping centers, walk from store to store instead of getting back in the car each time between stores.
• Take a walk or bike ride with your kids around the neighborhood. Your local park is a great spot, too. Don't forget about your dog — take him along to get his exercise too!
• Try a fun exercise class at the gym instead of doing your regular workout routine.
• Use household chores as a fitness class. Assign every family member a task. Pick a favorite tune and turn up the music to get everyone going.

Video: Lotus Exige S Roadster Coming This Summer
By John Beltz Snyder
May 01, 2013
Lotus has published this fairly simple video to announce that it will be releasing a topless version of the Exige S in the summer of 2013. According to Lotus, the Exige S Roadster is in its final phases of testing, meaning it will be available in time for customers to enjoy some open-air motoring in some great weather.
The Exige S uses a supercharged 3.5-liter V-6 engine mounted amidships to produce 345 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque. In coupe form, it can do 0-60 in 3.8 seconds, with a top speed of 170 miles per hour. The Roadster will be just as fast to 60 miles per hour, but will have a top speed of just 145 mph. The roadster will actually weigh about 22 pounds less than the coupe.
The Roadster will offer the same features and options as the Exige S coupe in most respects, but will come with silver wheels, with the gold wheels found on the coupe as an option. The Roadster also doesn't offer the same front splitter, rear diffuser, and rear wing as the coupe it's based on.
As far as we know, though, the roofless version will only be available in Europe and Asia, and will not be offered in North America.
Check out the video below to see the Exige S Roadster in action.

The New Yorker, August 8, 1936 P. 7
Sir Thomas Astley Cubitt a fermer governor of Bermuda was in likeness and tradition of Kitchener- six feet four inches tall and a classic military bearing and manner. Lady Cubitt asked her husband to carry downstairs at the Governor's House, a large and expensive vase that she greatly cherished. He grasped the huge vase in his arms, and half way down the stairs his foot slipped and he slid all the way down. He was not hurt. Miraculously the vase was uninjured. He lay on his back for a moment, the vase clutched to his chest. "Tom, Tom", cried his wife, "you might have broken that vase". Sir Thomas did not answer. With ponderous dignity he got to his feet drew himself to his full height, and dashed the vase into thousands of pieces

FOOD: Well preserved
PUBLISHED: 12:36 05 August 2014 | UPDATED: 12:36 05 August 2014
Charlotte Smith-Jarvis has some inventive and delicious ways to make the most of the season's bounty
I have mixed feelings about August.
On the one hand, the nights are drawing in and summer is coming to an end. On the other, it's one of the most bountiful months, creating a cornucopia of produce.
Scarlet raspberries, plums bursting with sticky juice, stacks of beans and more courgettes and marrows than you ever thought possible. They all seem to come at once.
For those who grow their own, the sheer volume of produce can be overwhelming. And, let's be honest, there comes a point when even your friends, colleagues and next-door-neighbours-but-one start turning away your gestures of vegetable-based goodwill.
So here are some different ways to turn the harvest of your garden and allotment into something delicious and compact. Some of them will see you enjoying the fruits of your labour well after the season is over.
None of them is complicated, although a good food processor will help.
Sticky beetroot marmalade
This is an earthy, intriguing, sweet spread that will become one of the most versatile friends to have in the kitchen during autumn and winter. With just a little effort, you can turn beetroot into a beautiful maroon goo, that is not only divine with any cheese but also pairs well with cold cuts at Christmas, oily fish and enhances any rich casserole or stew
Ingredients: 500g cooked, peeled beetroot, 1tbsp oil, 2tsp yellow mustard seeds, 1 large onion chopped finely, 160g light brown sugar, 150ml water, 1tsp allspice, 1/2tsp cinnamon, 150ml cider vinegar, 2.5tsp salt
You need: Three small jam jars or one large preserving jar
Blitz the beetroot in a food processor until finely chopped. Heat the oil in a medium saucepan and add the mustard seeds. When they start to crackle, add the onion and cook on a low heat until translucent. Add the rest of the ingredients, bring to the boil, then simmer on a low heat for about an hour until most of the liquid is gone and you have a thick, sticky mixture.
Spoon into jars, leave to cool, then store.
Allotment pickle
Piccalilli is an institution in Britain and according to those who love the stuff – my husband dabs it on everything – it makes a ham sandwich.
Ingredients: 250ml cider vinegar, 1tbsp coriander seeds, 1 diced onion, 1.5tbsp each mustard powder and plain white flour, 1tsp ground ginger, 1/2tsp curry powder, 1tsp turmeric, 2 carrots peeled and cut to half moons, 100g green beans chopped into 2cm pieces, 1 courgette cut into 1cm cubes, 2 garlic cloves sliced, 70g caster sugar, salt and pepper
You need: Two regular jam jars, sterilised
Boil onions and carrots in the vinegar for five minutes with the coriander seeds. Add the remaining vegetables and garlic and cook for a further two minutes. Strain the liquid and reserve it. Put vegetables into a bowl. In a separate bowl place mustard, turmeric, ginger, curry powder and flour. Add a tablespoon of the hot vinegar and mix to a paste. Gradually add more vinegar, combining to make a smooth mixture, until all the vinegar is incorporated. Pour the mustardy vinegar back into the pan, add the veg and bring to the boil, then simmer gently to thicken. Spoon into jam jars, cool and store.
Strawberry, basil and balsamic cordial
An unusual combination, but one that really works. The herbal, green notes of basil are perfect with strawberries and balsamic vinegar, frequently paired with fruit in European dishes, brings an acidic tang to what could otherwise be an overly sweet drink. Dilute it with water, drizzle over ice cream, or add to Champagne cocktails. It really tastes like the essence of summer.
Ingredients: 500g strawberries, hulled and halved, 400ml water, 4 tbsps best balsamic vinegar, handful finely chopped basil leaves.
You need: two small sterilised Kilner-type bottles (pictured)
Start the day before by mashing the strawberries with the basil and sugar, or do it in a food processor.
The next day pass the mixture through a sieve to remove the seeds and basil and put the puree in a saucepan with the water. Bring to the boil, then simmer until thickened and glossy. Test to see if it's ready by taking a little out with a spoon and rubbing it between your fingers. It should feel greasy like Vaseline. Pour into the prepared bottles and refrigerate. Use within a week.
