Sopot private city tour
Sopot attracts a lot of visitors all year round. The town is located by one of the most famous Polish beaches and is known for its promenade full of restaurants and cafes. The Sopot Pier was built as a mooring point for cruise boats and opened in 1827. It is the longest wooden pier in Europe with a length of 511.5m. The concentration of iodine at the tip of the pier is twice as high as on land.

MADISON, Wis. – A winter storm is expected to impact west central Wisconsin Friday afternoon and into the weekend, bringing with it the possibility of heavy snowfall that could disrupt travel across the region. ReadyWisconsin is encouraging those who live or plan to travel through the area to act now to remain safe.
The National Weather Service (NWS) has issued Winter Storm Warnings for several counties in the west central part of the state and in neighboring Minnesota through midday Saturday. The NWS says the region could see 6-12 inches of snow, with higher snowfall totals possible in some areas. The snow is expected to start falling on Friday and continue into the overnight hours, with snowfall rates of 1-3 inches an hour possible at times. The storm could greatly impact afternoon travel, reducing visibility and leaving roads covered in snow.
To help prepare, ReadyWisconsin encourages people to take the following actions:
- Make sure you have fully stocked emergency kits in your home and your vehicle. Home kits should include items like non-perishable food, fresh water, and batteries. Vehicle kits should also have extra hats and gloves, blankets, an ice scraper, snow shovel, and kitty litter or sand to give you traction in case you get stuck in the snow. Find tips on what to include in your kit at https://readywisconsin.wi.gov/
- To help protect yourself in your vehicle, remain distraction-free while driving and adjust your speed for current conditions. Check travel conditions for most major roadways in the state before you leave home by using 511 Wisconsin. This information, along with live traffic cameras and traffic alerts, is accessible through the free 511WI mobile app, on Twitter, or the mobile-friendly site 511wi.gov.
- If you get stuck while traveling, remain with your vehicle if it's safe to do so and contact 9-1-1. Give police a description of your location and wait for help to arrive.
- Stay informed about current and expected weather conditions by following your local National Weather Service office and other trusted local sources for updates. Get a NOAA All-Hazards Weather Radio and use it to get updates.
- After the snow ends, give road crews room to work. In addition to clearing snow from driveways and walkways, check external vents on your home for blockages. If you have a fire hydrant on your property, clear the snow so there's at least three feet of open space around it.

One of the finer problems of the major inequality issue is gender inequality. Over past few decades however, women are playing crucial roles in the building up the nation in UK. Almost half of the employed population consists of women at 46.4%, thereby making substantial contribution to the growth f the country's economy. The younger mothers with children under 5 years of age are at 28%, who effectively combine family responsibilities and work. UK has several women in the public as well as political areas. Head of several companies, Members of Parliament (MPs), councilors, chairs of public bodies, leaders and volunteers have women in place. This reflects drastic societal and demographic change in UK. In UK Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) group have atleast one in every ten women (Minocha, Holland, McNulty, Banks & Palmer, 2016).
Even though the picture for women in UK is changing rapidly, however, it would not be wise to become complacent or blind towards still existing gender inequality in the society and workplace. It immediate need is to treat women not merely as women but as an individual with goals and aspirations. They must be given fair and equal chances to meet the challenges of the world. It is important to eradicate violence against girls and women completely. The policy of providing equal pay for equal work for men and women has to me implemented in reality and at every level of work strata. The problem of gender inequality also leads to several other problem life domestic violence, crimes against women, etc. when the society would start treating the women as equal human being the country would go a long way in solving other related problems too (UK's seventh periodic report, 2011).

I had the opportunity to present our latest product (Intel RRK for Safety) during an amazing Intel smart video workshop that took place last week. Before I continue I would like to congratulate Stefani Eisele for making this event a great success!
The event was split into two sessions. The first session was business oriented whereas the second was more hands-on. I have presented this work at the business session whilst my colleague Andrea Mirabile who leads our applied research attended the technical session. Both the business and technical sessions were heavily focused on Intel's OpenVINO toolkit, which I could not recommend more if you want to run super fast inference across a wide range of Intel processors such as CPUs, GPUs, VPUs as well as FPGAs.
Presenting at the Intel Smart Video Workshop in Munich
I have also managed to find McFit gym 40 minutes walking distance from the hotel so I made sure I continued with my workouts. I got up every morning around 5am and walked all the way to the gym in shorts and tank top. The temperature outside was around 8 degrees but I am convinced that we can support way more than this and our immune as well as endocrine systems can be controlled at will.

Looking back, the 2008 season was disappointing for many Bulldog fans after expectations of a National Championship were shattered and Georgia didn't even win the SEC East.
While the 2009 outlook is promising, it still stings to reminisce at what could have been...
It's hard to believe that any team could sustain as many injuries as Georgia did last year and still produce a 10-win team. The Bulldogs had to deal with 18 season-ending injuries in 2009!
In a conference that is defined by depth, imagine the difference it would have made had Georgia not lost nearly one-fourth of their roster due to injuries.

WHEN Peter Sutherland, the GATT's last director-general, brought down the gavel on the Uruguay round in December 1993, some people wondered whether there would ever be another such all-encompassing round of trade talks. The thought may have been prompted by jaw-ache after more than seven years of often exasperating negotiations. More importantly, however, the Uruguay round came with a built-in programme of future work. Talks on four areas of services trade remained unfinished; new talks on agriculture were already set for 1999; and more negotiations on services were scheduled for 2000.
Since then, the WTO has proved itself reasonably adept at doing business outside trade rounds. Two lots of left-over services talks—on telecoms and financial services—eventually succeeded. The information-technology agreement was all but sealed in Singapore in December 1996, within a year of starting. And there is a fair chance that Mr Clinton's plea for allowing electronic commerce to develop without barriers will be heeded.
Yet next autumn, when trade ministers meet in America for the WTO's next conference, the most important decision they will face will probably be whether to launch a new round. Their answer should be an unreserved yes. There are at least four reasons why.
The first is that trade negotiations seem to work best when a range of issues can be bundled together. Single-issue negotiations on services have not been an unqualified success. Negotiations on maritime services were sunk by the Americans before they left port. Rich-country indifference also dashed any hopes of an agreement on the "movement of natural persons", trade-speak for the temporary employment of foreign workers. A round that ties together a complex package of issues offers a better chance of striking deals: concessions in one area can be traded for advances in another.
Second, a long agenda is building up. In addition to services and agriculture, there are manufacturing tariffs, the treatment of foreign investors and competition policy. Sooner or later, too, WTO members will have to find some way of resolving the conflict between the organisation's rules and those of multilateral environmental agreements.
A round covering all this would go some way to completing the huge shift in trade rules begun in the Uruguay round. These rules now recognise that free trade amounts to far more than the removal of barriers to trade in goods. But in services and investment, foreign suppliers are often still a long way from getting "national treatment". Some agreement on antitrust law would help to stop private trade barriers replacing official ones.
The third reason is that if the WTO does not come to grips with the new issues, regional trade organisations will continue to go their own way. In some cases that may be fine, but in others it may get in the way. If global liberalisation were continuing apace, there would be less need to worry about the way regional agreements distort trade.
Why now is a good time
The fourth and most important reason for a new trade round is the parlous state of the world economy. This argument may not be immediately obvious. The deep recession in many Asian economies and the turmoil in world financial markets may well spread to the trading system. Already, Americans and Europeans are struggling to sell their wares in depressed Asia, and are losing markets to Asian goods made far more competitive by huge devaluations. Some westerners may, therefore, be tempted to call for curbs on trade. And if financial markets crash, or the world economy moves into recession, free markets may seem less of a good idea than they did a couple of years ago.
Yet these are arguments not for closing the shutters, but for opening them more widely. In the 1930s, protection turned recession into rout. If the same remedy were adopted, history could repeat itself in the 1990s. Freer trade, on the other hand, offers the prospect of earlier recovery.
Helpfully, WTO commitments bind governments, up to a point, to keeping markets open, come rain or come shine. Moreover, this would not be the first time that a trade round started in turbulent times. Fred Bergsten, of the Institute for International Economics, points out that the Tokyo round was launched in 1973, in the middle of the first oil crisis; and the preliminaries for the Uruguay round came in the wake of the Latin American debt crisis. Launching a new round in 1999 would be a signal that governments are still committed to open markets—and understand that the prosperity of their peoples depends on them.

A South American and World Premiere for Two Sierra Works
August 9 — Roberto Sierra's Cuentos will receive its South American premiere in San Paolo, Brazil by the cutting-edge, contemporary music ensemble Camera Aberta. Specializing in contemporary music, this versatile San Paolo-based group of 16 musicians will be conducted by Joel Sachs. Sierra's Cuentos for chamber orchestra was originally composed in 1997, and received its world premiere that same year by Camerata de las Américas and Joel Sachs.
August 24 — Next up will be the exciting world premiere of Fuego de ángel (Quartet for Piano and Strings) at the Music from Angel Fire Festival. Featuring the chamber music ensemble Opus One, Fuego de ángel was both commissioned by and dedicated to Music from Angel Fire with the support of the Bruce E. Howden, Jr. American Composers Project and Friends of the Festival. Sierra, who has served as Composer-in-Residence for Angel Fire says, "The inspiration for Fuego de ángel was a place that, although I have never visited, triggered my imagination. The idea of an angel in conjunction with fire reminded me of images from renaissance and early baroque religious paintings; in particular some of the Latin American early colonial works which, in fantastic and unusual ways, depict celestial battles between good and evil— such as the many representations of the archangel Michael defeating the devil."
Other recent projects of Sierra's include his two best-selling CD releases, Caribbean Rhapsody and Piano Trios Nos. 1-3 / Fanfarria, aria y movimiento perpetuo. Caribbean Rhapsody features jazz virtuoso James Carter and was recently named Jazz Station's "CD of the Month" for May, while Piano Trios features the Trio Arbós and was named April's "Recording of the Month" by Music Web International.

Duterte on God, Catholics and Adam's apple
There was, apparently, no love lost between President Rodrigo Duterte and the Catholic Church.
Even during his campaign, the President minced no words lambasting the church for the sexual molestation he allegedly suffered from a priest when he was in high school.
Almost two years into his six-year term, the President continues with his attacks. Below are excerpts, edited for brevity.
"So God was lonely, so he created paradise and that's planet Earth. And God said, 'I will create man,' so there was Adam. God found that Adam was lonely, so he took one of his ribs and created woman. But God doubted his creation so he tested it. He called a snake and told it to give an apple to Eve. Eve ate it and gave it to Adam. And so malice was born.
"Who is this stupid God? You created something perfect and then you think of an event that would destroy the quality of your work. How can you rationalize that God? How can you believe him? So now we're all born with an original sin. Even in the womb, we already have sin. What kind of religion is that?"
—June 22, 2018, opening of the 2018 National ICT Summit in Davao City
"And I assure you, you can walk around at night and nobody would really bother you. (I will target) drugs, I said, after corruption. I'm a simple man. I have run roughshod against almost everybody—priests, human rights (activists). I don't give a shit. Those priests and bishops, they didn't elect me to office. Those (idiots), they're with the other side."
—June 14, 2018, Oathtaking of newly elected barangay officials of Region 4A, Sta. Rosa City, Laguna
"So don't believe those Catholics, or Adam and Eve. The god of the Catholics, He's an idiot. Look for a better God. Look, it says in catechism that God created the world. It was a paradise. Then he made man, Adam, and he was lonely so God created woman. It would have been fine but God called the snake and gave it an apple, asked it to give it to Eve. Then Eve tempted Adam to eat the apple and malice became malice. We all sinned. We are all born sinners, son of a whore. What did we have to do with Adam and Eve who were the ones who did the deed? What kind of God was that? Things were perfect then he decides to ruin them. So don't believe those priests. During my campaign, I felt like peeing, but son of a whore, it took three hours from Robinsons to the airport. I was late. So I said, son of a whore, Pope, you better leave now. I cursed him. Why did he come and cause such a traffic jam? So the God of the Catholics? Baloney! We have a new religion when we get out of here: the church of Rodrigo (applause). No limit. You have an obligation to make yourself happy. (applause)"
—June 3, 2018, Meeting with the Filipino community in South Korea, Grand Hilton Hotel and Convention Center, Seoul
"It angers me. I was mayor for 23 years and people would come to me crying, saying, 'We have to bury our dead, but the church refused to open its doors. The priest got angry because it's a Sunday. The corpse smells really bad now.' I said, son of a whore, take the corpse out from the coffin and throw it there by the altar…
"And why are you blaming me? Your parish priest married an NPA [New People's Army] member in Cordillera. So the NPAs were not the ones who killed him. In fact, the NPAs protested his death. But if you have an adulterous relationship with the wife of a soldier, a police, or a vice mayor, then you will really die. So that's why you should change your religion. A new religion has been founded. Our patron is St. Rodrigo."

Are tomboys normal?
"Are you normal? Yes. Are tomboys abnormal? No, of course, not. Why? Because we are all creations of God (applause). It was God who made a mistake."
—Dec. 7, 2017, 7th LGBT Davao's year-end gathering, Azuela Cove, Davao City
"You know if you are God, you are perfect. There ought not to be imperfections. Your creation must be good. Why create a snake? Better give that to China, which might cook it tomorrow (laughter)."
—Nov. 28, 2017, Birthday celebration of Atty. Alfredo Lim in Dasmariñas, Cavite
"It's not our fault. It's the fault of God. Why did he have to create woman. If we were all men, we'd just have a free-for-all."
—Nov. 23, 2017, Birthday celebration of Marinduque Rep. Lord Allan Jay Velasco, Malago Clubhouse, PSG Compound
"I once encountered some bishops, that son of a whore CBCP [Catholic Bishops' Conference of the Philippines], and I said, you act so high and mighty. We're just the same. You have so many women. So if you want to go to hell, believe in those priests. It's hot down there but all the beautiful women are there. Only the ugly ones go to heaven (laughter)."
—July 14, 2017, 11th Ambassadors' tour Philippine reception, SMX Convention Center, Davao City
"Priests do nothing but rant. They live in palaces. You should sell those and use the money to buy rice for the poor. And stop collecting money. If you don't, I will have you arrested for extortion … I do not need martial law. I do not need to declare a suspension of the writ of habeas corpus. You destroy my country, you destroy the youth. I don't give a shit if all the priests kneel and pray and beg. I have a country to preserve and that is the Filipino nation. It has nothing to do with religion."

"When you fondle us when we were young (and) holding confession while holding our prick and asking us what are our sins, and while you're fondling us while we are pouring out our sins, then you pretend to be the righteous institutions of this society, and now you criticize [others])? … The priest (who raped me) is in hell a long time ago, he paid P25 million to all the parties, and you still insist on hypocrisy? … I can sit the whole six years of the presidency exposing you and attacking you."
—June 2, 2016, press conference at the presidential guesthouse, Davao City
"If I start (naming) the bishops who got married and have women in their lives, the Catholic Church will explode.

Aren't you ashamed of yourself?"

We realized quite early that life was like that. How can we complain? We were afraid."

When Snapchat was first created by former Stanford University students Evan Spiegel, Bobby Murphy, and Reggie Brown, the main feature was simple: Pictures and messages are typically available for just a short time before they essentially vanish. Snaps to and from users usually only last up to 10 seconds before disappearing, and Snapchat stories are only available for 24 hours.
However, there are ways to get around this so that users can save Snapchat pictures and save Snapchat videos. Although the purpose of Snapchat is disappearing media, sometimes you may want to keep a snap. If you're curious about how to save Snapchats, there are a few ways to do so.
How to Save Snapchat Pictures
Before you decide to save a snap, put yourself in the sender's shoes. Would they be okay with you saving that photo, or is the whole reason they sent it over Snapchat to keep it private? Depending on the situation, some users may not mind this. Use your best judgment, as there is more to saving a snap than some may realize.
Saving Your Own Snapchat Pictures
Let's start with saving your own Snapchat pictures. This is a simple part of learning how to save Snapchat pictures. When you open the camera and take your photo, you'll notice an icon in the lower left-hand portion of your screen that has the save icon. Tap the icon, and you'll see a checkmark appear when the snap is saved.
Before you do this, however, it's important to know where your saved snaps are going. When you open the Snapchat app, you'll see your profile icon in the upper left corner of the screen. Follow these steps to choose where you want to save your own snaps:
- Tap to open your profile.
- Tap the gear icon in the upper right corner to open your settings.
- Tap on Memories.
- Tap on the Save Button. Here, you'll be able to choose whether you'd like to save your photos to your phone's Camera Roll only, or to both your Camera Roll and Snapchat Memories.
Saving Other People's Snaps
This is where saving snaps can get dicey because the sender is alerted if the recipient takes a screenshot of the snap. According to The App Factor, Snapchat already has fixed some of the options out there that allowed users to secretly save snaps without the recipient knowing. If you're wondering how to save Snapchats without having to take a screenshot, one option is to use another phone to take a photo of the snap. When you're looking into how to save snaps, this is probably the simplest way to do so. You can use the phone to take a picture of the snap on your phone and send it to yourself.
Will My Friends Know If I Saved Their Snap?
The bad news is that if you take a screenshot or use the iPhone's screen recording feature, it triggers an alert sent to the sender's phone that tells them you have done so. There are ways to delay the notification being sent — turn off your WiFi, Bluetooth, data, and anything that connects you to networks. Then, enable Airplane Mode, take the screenshot, and wait a minute or two before turning everything back on.
While this generally doesn't prevent the notification from being sent, it can delay it. Some people can avoid the notification entirely, but most of the time, the Snapchat sender will know if someone has tried to screenshot their snap.
How to Save Snapchat Videos
Learning how to save Snapchat videos is simple when you know how to save Snapchat photos. Many of the same methods listed above will work to save both your videos and friends' videos.
Saving Your Own Snap Videos
If you know how to save a Snapchat photo, you will know how to save a Snapchat video. It is as simple as saving your own Snapchat photos. Repeat the steps listed above to save and download your own snap videos.
Plus, if you've chosen to save your snaps to both your Snapchat Memories and your Camera Roll, you can also save photos and videos directly from Memories using the following steps:
- Open Memories from camera view in Snapchat: Simply tap the Photos icon underneath the shutter button at the bottom of the screen.
- Select the photo or video you want to save.
- Select the icon that looks like three vertical dots.
- Tap Export Snap.
- Tap Save Image (or Video).
Saving Friends' Videos
Again, there is no inherently simple method to save other peoples' snaps, since it goes against Snapchat's purpose. However, you can repeat many of the methods listed above if you want to save someone else's Snapchat video, too.
Snapchat Saver Apps
You may think that you're a master Snapchat saver now (or you might not), but either way, there are Snapchat saver apps out there that might be able to help you out.
Snapchat-saving apps can be tricky since most of these apps are mediocre at best and can even hurt your device. With Snapchat cracking down on such apps, it's becoming more difficult to find a reliable saving app. The App Factor recommends apps like SnapCrack, SnapBox, and SnapSave.
- SnapBox: One of the most recommended Snapchat story saver apps on the market, SnapBox, allows users to save every snap and story, which can then be accessed easily and viewed whenever. Download the SnapBox app to your smartphone and log into it with your Snapchat credentials. Whenever you get a Snapchat notification, open it in SnapBox first. All snaps opened first in SnapBox will be saved.
- SnapCrack: Another popular Snapchat video downloader, SnapCrack, bypasses Snapchat's default rules and can save media on your phone. Download SnapCrack to your phone and log in with your Snapchat credentials. You can't be logged in to both apps at the same time, so if you're logged into SnapCrack, you will automatically be logged out of Snapchat. However, once you're logged in, SnapCrack works much like Snapbox.
- SnapSave: Although SnapSave is no longer available on the Google Play Store, as per Wondershare, it seems to be available for iOS users. Just as with SnapBox and SnapCrack, all you have to do is download SnapSave and log in with your Snapchat information. However, to save a snap, there is a download button icon on the bottom left.
Other Ways to Save and Download Snaps
Surprisingly enough, you can use QuickTime to save high-quality screenshots of Snapchat photos, as well as to record Snapchat videos. Here are some steps from The App Factor to help you with this option:
- Connect your phone to your laptop.
- Open up QuickTime player and choose File > New Movie Recording.
- Choose the drop-down arrow next to the record option and select your iPhone as the recording device.
- Hit record, open Snapchat, and go to whatever snaps you want a record of.
The issue with this is that it's only an option for users who have Macs and iPhones. For Android users, you can use MirrorGo Android Recorder for Android. According to Wondershare, MirrorGo is a tool that allows Android users to record what is going on in their Android's screen while making it simultaneously visible in the PC to which it is connected. Here are some steps from Wondershare to help you with MirrorGo:
- Launch dr.fone toolkit: Run the
dr.fone program on your PC and select the "Android Screen Recorder" feature.
- Connect your Android to the computer using a USB cable and enable USB debugging.
- Mirror your Android on the PC. The dr.fone program will automatically start mirroring the screen on your computer.
- Open Snapchat on your phone and navigate to the snap that you wish to save.
- Click on the Android Recorder button in the computer program.

Would you like to be able to write better B2B sales copy in less time? You can with the five-part strategy I use to produce winning B2B sales copy for my own clients.
If you use this strategy before you write any kind of B2B sales copy, your copy will be more on target, it will have greater depth, and it's likely to be much more successful for the client.
Let me give you some background on this…
When most copywriters write sales copy, here's how they typically do it. They'll get all the information from their client — background information on the product, the offer, and any other information the client offers.
They think about it for a while, then they start writing. They'll start experimenting with headlines and work on writing the body copy. They feel their way through it. And I admit, I write sales copy like that sometimes too.
But if you do some work just before you start actually writing the copy, you'll keep your copy on track and make the process a lot faster.
Copywriting = Strategy + Writing
When you are writing copy, you're actually doing two things.
The first part is where you're strategizing what you're going to say and how you're going to say it. And then, the second part is where you're doing the creative work of writing the copy.
When you try to do those two things together at the same time, it makes the process a lot slower. So now I use a five-step copy strategy. It's simply five questions I ask myself, either on paper or in my head.
When I have answers to these five questions, then I know I'm on track. The writing process becomes a lot clearer and a lot simpler. And what I write ends up being far better and more on target.
My 5-Step B2B Sales Copy Strategy
Here are the five questions you're going to ask before you start writing the copy:
- Who is the prospect?
- What is the offer?
- Why is this important to the target audience?
- What is the next step?
- What is likely to pique the interest of your target audience and motivate them?
So, let's go through each question one-by-one…
#1. Who is the Prospect?
Who is the target audience for this sales copy? Is it accountants? Is it accountants in private practice? Is it accountants in a corporate environment? Is it midcareer accountants? You want to be as specific as you possibly can.
It's okay that you might have two or three different target audiences for the same promotion. But still try to be specific and have as much clarity as possible.
It's even better if you can put together a buyer persona.
#2. What is the Offer?
Is it a free white paper? Is it a free consultation? Is it product information? Maybe you're writing a product page or a service page for a website. So then what you're offering is detailed product information the prospect wants to know.
#3. Why is It Important to the Target Audience?
If you're offering a free white paper, what is it about this white paper that is important to the prospect? Why should they be interested in it? If you're offering product information or some other type of information as part of your sales copy, why is it important to them?
Perhaps you're offering a free or paid event. Why is it important to the prospect?
If you can't answer that question, you're in real trouble with your sales copy. It's not enough just to describe a product or service and tout the features and benefits — you have to know why this information is important to your prospect, and why this should pique their interest.
#4. What is the Next Step?
That's simply the call-to-action. If it's an email campaign, is the next step to click and go on to a landing page? Is it to pull out a credit card and sign up for the event? Is it to call for a free consultation? Or maybe it's more of a subtle awareness ad or web page you're offering.
Whatever the next step is, you want to be clear about it. What specifically do you want the prospect to do?
#5. What Is Likely to Pique Their Interest and Motivate Them to Act?
This is kind of a catch-all question for ideas and strategies and anything you can think of that might motivate and pique the interest of these prospects.
If you're writing an ad, for example, you may have an idea for a visual or a headline or a Big Idea that you think might get their interest. Whatever you have in mind, put that under #5.
If you can answer those questions before you sit down and write copy, it's like having a compass that's pointing to true north. You know you're on the right track. You're going to be on target because you have those answers. And it's going to make the writing process so much easier for you. And when you write the copy, it's likely to be that much more effective.
Now, let me give you an example of this in action…
Let's say you are writing an email campaign for a sales training company. They're offering a free white paper in an email campaign.
So question number one is — who is the prospect?
And of course, you want to talk to your client about this to get clarity. Let's say the answer is "sales managers of mid-sized companies."
Number two — what are you offering?
Your client offers sales training to small sales teams. Mid-sized companies often have smaller sales teams. The topic of the white paper being offered is a three-step technique for getting more sales meetings with prospects. This technique is based on the latest, science-based research.
Number three — why is this important to them?
Remember, the target audience is sales managers of mid-sized companies. These people might not think they can benefit from sales training because it's expensive and it's just for big companies. The really good sales training companies only target big companies, and they're a mid-sized company.
Well, your client specializes in mid-sized companies. So sales managers may be interested simply because of that.
The topic of the white paper — getting more meetings with prospects is inarguably the fastest way to boost sales. So sales managers would be interested in the white paper because of the three-step technique.
Maybe they could share the white paper with their sales force today and start seeing results right away. Wouldn't that be fantastic? So the white paper would be very important to them.
Number four — what's the next step?
The next step is to fill out a landing page form and request to download the white paper.
Finally, number five — what's likely to pique the interest of sales managers of mid-sized companies and motivate them to download this white paper?
They want practical ways to boost sales for their sales team. Perhaps they could use the three-step technique described in the white paper and start seeing results right away. That's a big motivator.
The white paper is based on science-based techniques. It's not fluff or guessing. It's not some guru with a system or formula that he's selling. This is science-based research that has a better chance of working in the real world.
And the whole idea of getting some top-shelf sales training without needing a big budget can also be a motivator as well.
So, let's say you've answered those questions in just that way. Now that you have the answers, won't writing that sales piece be so much easier?
Won't it be easier to stay on track, when you're clear on who the prospect is, what you're offering, why it's important to the prospect, and what the next step is? And now you've got some initial ideas as to what's going to pique their interest and motivate them.
So, next time you write some sales copy for your B2B client, start by asking those five strategy questions. If you answer those first, trust me… Writing the sales copy is going to be so much easier and the results are going to be so much better.

This is part of the story Holiday Gift Guide 2020, Tips Clear's Gifts picks up with expert advice, reviews and recommendations for the latest technological gifts for you and your family.
Did you miss the Prime Day deal on Amazon last week? We've got good news: Some of Amazon's best deals are back … but this time on Best Buy. The 60-hour sale began at 10 am on Tuesday and runs until 10 pm on Thursday night. It started mostly with echo speakers and displays (listed below), but by Wednesday morning, more Prime Days returned to Best Buy's shelves at lower prices. To be clear, all of these Amazon devices are now available on Best Buy which is less than what you'd pay on Amazon. Many of these discounts are available Home depot, Too.
The listed savings are compared to the prices on Amazon at the time of this writing. As always, prices and inventories are subject to change.
You don't want to see anything here? Don't worry – more sales are coming, including Black friday and cyber monday.

Amazon's entry-level smart speaker is $ 19, which is low due to these things. Just keep in mind that this is not the new 2020 spherical model – one that has not yet been released.
Tyler Lizenby / Tips Clear
If you want a display for video chatting, watching Netflix, or using a smart alarm clock, Show 5 – Amazon's smallest smart display – is a very small gadget. On Prime Day last year, the Echo Show 5 was down to $ 50. This year, it went as low as $ 45, and Best Buy is now matching that price if you missed it last week. Read our Echo Show 5 review.
Chris Monroe / Tips Clear
Typically a ring video doorbell runs for $ 200, and the Echo Show 5 Smart Display goes for $ 90. The same bundle is currently selling for $ 275 on Amazon. But Best Buy is offering doorbells for $ 140, and toss in smart displays for just $ 10. If you want to start a smart home jumping around a video doorbell, this deal is one of the best you'll find.
If you still drag live TV into the air, you can record and watch them at any time with the Fire TV Recast DVR. This version has a 500GB hard drive with two tuners (a full 1TB version is also available), so you can record two shows at once.
Sara Tew / Tips Clear
Amazon's largest, tallest and best-looking speaker is your choice for a smart speaker that needs to fill a room. It works brilliantly with a range of action films to music. It also supports Dolby Atmos and Fire TV. This speaker is likely to please almost anyone (with the exception of dedicated audiophiles).
Tyler Lizenby / Tips Clear
The Amazon Echo Auto is a clever little device that ports the Alexa to your car, allowing the voice assistant to speak and play music through your stereo. At $ 30, the Eco Auto is a solid deal for anyone who wants to make their non-voice-equipped car smarter.
Chris Monroe / Tips Clear
Amazon's Echo Flex is a clever little gadget that connects Alexa to a modular smart plug design. The plug itself can attach various enhancements, such as LED clock, motion sensor or night light. To get this small device, Alexa's all-smart, for only $ 10, is a solid deal.
This article was previously published as part of our Prime Day 2020 coverage. It has been updated to reflect pricing and deals for Best Buy sales.

Thank you Allison and Nazareth for your amazing reviews!
Chicken Soup For The Soul, Just For Teenagers / Jack Canfield, Mark Victor Hansen and Amy Newmark
Yes, I would recommend this book because it shares real stories from real teens. From 'Tough Stuff' to 'Funny Moments' this book makes sure you know you're not alone. This book will inspire you or give you a good laugh and instead of one long story, this book is filled with many mini stories, so you can always close the book with a satisfying ending.

We asked: Would you recommend this book? Why or why not?
Thank you Allison and Nazareth for your amazing reviews!
I would recommend this book. It is about a boy named Charlie Cobb, who lives in the very small town of Harmony, New Hampshire. It starts with the residents of Harmony outside, watching the Northern Lights, when suddenly there is a big FLASH and all of the planets electricity goes out! Batteries do not work, and even the stars won't shine. Everything is dark. Charlie and his family invite people back to their house, with everyone thinking it will only be like that for a little while. But it is not. One resident, Bragg, is trying to take all the supplies for himself, sometimes offering gold coins, which the town doesn't accept. And even worse, Charlie's mother is running out of her pills that she needs, Charlie decides to use his friends' skis, and ski all the way to Concord, another city where he can get more pills. Will he make it?

I would recommend this book to fairy-tale lovers. It is the sixth book in the series, Whatever After, about two kids named Abby and Jonah, who have a magic mirror on their basement that takes them to fairy-tale worlds. In this book, they are in the Snow Queen, where their dog is frozen by the queen, and they are taken captive by a band of robbers, where they meet a reindeer named Ralph, and a girl named Gerda. They have to figure out how to rescue their dog, and Kai, a boy who is under a spell, without getting frozen themselves.

I would recommend this book to someone because if you like pranking/ pranksters/pranks then this book is for you. It talks about different kinds of pranks and how to do them and it's exciting to see when the next prank will come in the book. Also there was never a part when I got bored to read, so it was a good book to read.

When my son Leo first came out as transgender, one of the things I didn't know that I needed was permission to grieve the child I thought I had.
I was trying to model for others how to talk to and about Leo. How to use his new name and pronouns properly. How to talk about his past correctly. I thought if I set an example for everyone else in our family, it would make it easier for them. And in turn, more manageable for Leo.
In doing so, somehow, I decided I needed to be strong around my husband, the one person who most understood how I was feeling. I thought if I were okay, he would be okay too. In the hope that somehow, we would both get through this avalanche of emotions.
Okay was the furthest thing from how I actually was.
I cried in the car. I cried in the shower. Some days I cried at my desk at work. Every other week I spent forty-five minutes crying in my therapist's office. What I didn't have was a place to grieve. A place where other people knew how I felt.
I didn't know where to go to find what I was looking for. No one I knew had a transgender child. If anyone in my local area had a transgender child, they weren't sharing about it in any of the places I frequented. I learned about a local PFLAG group which seemed promising. When I checked the group out, I discovered it was attended by local LGBTQ+ teens and young adults.
There didn't seem to be any support for parents of transgender kids or young adults in my area. Five years later, there still isn't.
Every week, I get messages and emails from parents of transgender children and young adults. First, they thank me for writing about my experiences. They are so grateful to learn they are not alone. Then, they share with me where they are in their journey. The common threads that weave through the messages all are the same: where can I go to grieve the loss of the child I thought I had? Where can I go to get support from other parents who have been where I am?
The one thing parents of transgender children want most of all is to know they aren't alone.
At the end of the first year after Leo came out, I told my therapist it was the loneliest year of my life. While I had a strong, small group of people who constantly checked in on how I was, most of the people in our lives asked about Leo during that first year. When you don't have the experience of walking in someone else's shoes, it can be hard to know what it is that they need.
Parents of transgender children need support also. They need to share how they are feeling. What they are thinking about and processing. A place to unpack the emotions they are feeling. Someone to listen to what they are missing or learning or how their lives are changing. In order to support their children, they first need to be supported.
If you are the parent of a transgender (or other LGBTQ+ child), and there is no one in your life who is supporting you, you are not alone. There are places you can go to grieve. People who have been where you are. Others who understand everything you are experiencing.
"Online communities where real people make real connections." ~Liz Dyer
If you are the mama of an LGBTQ+ child, this is the group for you. With over 8,000 members, there are 6 subgroups, 60 regional groups, and a whole lot of people who will make you feel seen and known.
If you are the mama of a transgender child, this is the group for you. However only mamas of the larger LGBTQ+ group can access this subgroup. But, it's worth it. The content is trans-specific and super helpful.
If you are the friend or family of someone who is LGBTQ+, this is the group for you. The description says, "The group is for the full inclusion, protection & equality of LGBTQ people and is dedicated to supporting, educating & empowering those who are fully affirming of LGBTQ people."
Don't walk through this journey alone. Link up with others who are walking with you. We are stronger together.

Hugh Jackman: Oscar nomination exciting, surreal
LOS ANGELES, United States of America – Here are reactions from some of the key Oscar nominees, following the announcement of nominations for the 85th Academy Awards on Thursday, January 10. (Sources: Hollywood Reporter, CNN, ORF.)
Steven Spielberg, director, "Lincoln"
"It's been an absolutely thrilling morning. I was awoken by (my publicist) telling me about our multiple nominations. It's the best wake up call I've had in 14 years! I'm always surprised by recognition. I'm deeply grateful."
Ang Lee, director, "Life of Pi"
"I am deeply honored and frankly a little overwhelmed by all of the nominations," said Lee.
"Everything about this movie was an uphill battle. And it was a very difficult movie to make, so I didn't really get to celebrate when we finished. I felt more like Pi, lost and exhausted."
David O'Russell, director, "Silver Linings Playbook"
"It just means everything to me that we got the film made after 5 years and that it is finding audiences."
"It's like anything in sports or anything. If you've ever struggled, you are very grateful when you are getting into work that feels good... It just inspires you to keep doing good work," he told CNN.
Hugh Jackman, actor, "Les Miserables"
"It's very exciting but all a bit surreal, and it hasn't fully sunk in yet. This is a brilliant awards year that has been defined by an eclectic list of stories that have been told by incredibly talented and courageous filmmakers."
"It's an honor to be mentioned in the same sentence as the other nominees in the Best Actor category."
Mark Boal, producer and writer, "Zero Dark Thirty"
"Thank you to the Academy for these incredible honors. And thank you to the writers who have honored me today with their generosity and to the academy for the Best Picture nomination. None of us would be so honored today without the genius and remarkable talent of Kathryn Bigelow, and to her we are forever grateful."
Michael Haneke, director, "Amour"
"Of course we're very happy. We were hopeful as we'd been sort of tipped as favorites... so of course I hoped we'd get more than one nomination. That we got five is evidently a very pleasant surprise."
"Nowadays, so many nominations go to big blockbusters, with very famous names so it's nice that a European film d'auteur can compete with that," he told Austria's ORF public broadcaster.
Bradley Cooper, actor, "Silver Linings Playbook"
"I get up crazy early anyway, and I told myself, 'Ok, I'll take my dog to the beach, and just see what happens. Whatever goes down.' So I watched with my mom and my dog. These things are once in a lifetime," he said.
Robert De Niro, best actor nominee, "Silver Linings Playbook"
"I am very pleased that the Academy has chosen to honor the many individuals who were a part of Silver Linings Playbook."
Tom Hooper, director, "Les Miserables"
"What a wonderful year for movies when nine films with this kind of diversity get acknowledged for the industry's highest honor.
"I am so proud that Les Miserables joins them and that the Academy noted the magnificent work from Hugh, Annie, our legendary song writers and the superlative crafts experts whose work made our film what it was." – Rappler.com


text: Home Industry Energy Kuwait Cabinet Calls For Steps To Address Oil Price Slide Benchmark brent crude dipped to a four-year low of under $80 per barrel last week, compared with a June high above $115. by Reuters November 17, 2014 Kuwait's cabinet called for practical steps to address the slide in oil prices on Sunday at a special session convened to examine weakening energy markets, official media in the petroleum-dependent OPEC member country reported. "They stressed the necessity of initiating practical measures to face the impact of potential further decline in prices and remedying the existing economic imbalances," the official KUNA news agency reported, referring to officials. It did not say what the practical steps were. Participants reviewed a report on prices submitted by Minister of Oil Ali al-Omair and senior officials at the Kuwait Petroleum Corporation, and discussed "the potential risks and implications of the drop in state revenue, the budget and on the national economy and economic plan in general", KUNA said. Kuwait has one of the strongest fiscal positions among the Gulf oil exporters; it needs a crude oil price of just $54 per barrel for its state budget to break even, according to the International Monetary Fund. But its heavy dependence on oil income makes its economy more vulnerable to lower crude oil prices and output. Benchmark brent crude LCOc1 dipped under $80 per barrel last week, a four-year low, compared with a June high above $115. 0 Comments Share Tweet Share Share

Men: guilty until proven innocent
Child advocate John Walsh advises parents to never hire a male baby sitter.
The host of Fox's "America's Most Wanted" wants to help other parents protect their kids. He's advocated for missing children since 1981, after his son was killed by a stranger.
So when the topic of male nannies - mannies - came up in a conversation with friends, I didn't think too long before voicing my take on the trend.
I actually said - aloud - something to the effect of: "Even if we could afford it, I'd never hire a mannie. Too risky that he'd turn out to be a predator.''
My fears sounded reasonable. After all, in the majority of reported sexual abuse cases, the predators are male.
I was just being an informed and cautious parent. Right?
Not quite. Some argue, quite reasonably, that my response is male profiling, no worse than authorities pulling people over for DWH: "Driving While Hispanic." Or singling out Muslims on airplanes.
Is the no-mannies rule male profiling? Or is it just a precaution, no different than mothers dragging their sons into the women's room with them until the boys are old enough to protest? Or moms standing outside the men's room, yelling inside to their pre-teen sons "Are you OK in there?"
Wall Street Journal columnist Jeff Zaslow wrote recently about how society teaches children to be fearful of men. And how men deal with being cast unfairly as predators.
Zaslow gave example after example of perfectly harmless men who, fearing they'll be suspected of being a predator, give up on volunteering to mentor kids; coach a sports team; lead a scout troop; or even help a distraught child.
A doctor in Austin, Texas, Zaslow writes, came upon a lost child in tears in a mall. The man's impulse was to help, but he feared people might think him a predator. He walked away, Zaslow writes. "Being male," the man said, "I am guilty until proven innocent."
Kris Rice, executive director of the nonprofit Coastal Children's Advocacy Center in Savannah, has been involved in child abuse prevention for decades. She's seen a lot more male sexual abuse predators than female. She, too, never hired a male baby sitter for her two kids and numerous foster children when they were young.
"That was prudent, not paranoid,'' Rice said. "On the other hand, I was delighted when they had male teachers or librarians at their schools because I believe devoutly that all kids, and especially those being raised by single mothers, need positive male role models.''
Refusing to hire male baby sitters is not the equivalent of saying all men are sexual abuse predators. It's about minimizing risk.
But that's not to say only men are high risk.
Sexual molestations committed by women are seriously underreported in this country, Rice said. Such cases often involve adult women having sex with adolescent boys whom they know. Which, sadly, too many people still don't consider sexual abuse, but rather good fortune on the boy's part.
That's why the admonition not to hire male baby sitters makes men's rights activists like Marc H. Rudov livid. Rudov, who runs the California-based relationship and men's rights Web site TheNoNonsenseMan.com, said such thinking is the result of hatred toward men and a distortion of statistics.
"If boys can't be baby sitters, then they shouldn't be allowed to be fathers, either,'' Rudov said in a phone interview this week. "Then you shouldn't let John Walsh near your kids either, because, by his definition, he's dangerous.''
"If men are so dangerous, then you should throw all your brothers, uncles, sons and fathers out of the house,'' Rudov said. He is a frequent guest on cable news talk shows and talk radio (i.e. shoutfests), hence the snappy sound bites. He's using hyperbole to make a valid point: casting all men as villains in the name of precaution isn't fair.
Rudov says statistics about male sexual predators are distorted because sexual abuse by women is not reported or not even considered abuse. He also cites federal statistics that show physically abused children are more often victims of female perpetrators.
This summer, Virginia's Department of Health launched an ad campaign for its sex-abuse hot line in the state where 89 percent of sexual abuse perpetrators are male. Billboards displayed pictures of a man holding a child's hand with the caption "It doesn't feel right when I see them together'' and urged people to report suspected child abuse. Hundreds of men complained.
"Would Virginia post highway billboards of Muslims, exhorting Virginians to report them as potential terrorists? Never,'' wrote Rudov about the campaign. "Would Virginia post billboards of Hispanics, rallying the townspeople to identify them to ICE as illegal aliens and criminals? Never in a million years."
There's no quick answer to the dilemma of how to minimize risk without marginalizing men.
But one thing is clear: we don't want sexual abuse education and awareness to result in fewer male teachers, fewer male mentors, fewer male role models; fewer fathers holding their children's hands.
Instead, we need more fathers and children holding hands.
Tighter than ever.

Brooklyn band Jukebox the Ghost is used to fans asking about its name. The motive for it was simple: the band wanted to be highly searchable on Google. Lead singer and keyboardist Ben Thornewill settled on it by taking a Captain Beefheart lyric and combining it with a beloved passage from a Nabokov novel.
Now, nine years later, Jukebox the Ghost is quietly enjoying industry success. After having released a self-titled fourth studio album, the band is midway through a grueling eight-week tour that has taken it to every corner of the United States. The new album was released , and was mostly recorded in Los Angeles alongside acclaimed producer Dan Romer.
Thornewill and his bandmates Tommy Siegel and Jesse Kristin took some time out of their hectic schedule (which includes a show at Irving Plaza on February 28) to play us a live version of the single "When the Nights Get Long" at Mirrortone Studios in Manhattan. The song was written by Thornewill and Romer, and refers to the role of technology in maintaining a relationship.

In an average British home about 18%* of the heat is lost through windows. Replacing old windows with new higher performance models will substantially cut this heat loss. This makes the room more comfortable and easier to heat. It can also cut your heating bills by up to £100* if your current windows are single glazed. New windows may also help if your home regularly overheats in the summer months.
If a window is obviously damaged, or doesn't fit properly, or if the glazing unit has misted up on the inside, then it could be time to replace it. You'll need to replace it sometime soon anyway – if you replace it now then you'll benefit from a warmer room sooner.
You don't need planning permission to replace windows in most homes. If you live in a conservation area or a listed building, then there will be restrictions on what you can and can't do. But if you already have double glazing then the restrictions may be less rigid, or may not apply. Check with your local planning office before making any decisions.
All window replacements have to comply with building regulations. Windows are normally fitted by a member of a relevant competent person scheme to make sure they comply with building regulations. Your installer will usually provide the windows for you and offer you a choice of different styles and layouts of window. Make sure you ask them about the window's energy rating which could be somewhere between C and A++. Don't buy any windows without energy labels.
You can find a local installer via Fensa or DGCOS.
A++ is the highest rating currently available. If you want efficient windows then you should ask for a rating better than C. Generally, any double glazed window is likely to be more energy efficient than a single glazed window. However, some double glazed windows are better than others, and triple glazed windows can be better still. The energy label is there to help you navigate and compare the performance of different models without having to worry about the details.
The Energy Saving Trust provides a good overview of energy efficient window solutions on their website.
Certain households might be entitled to support under the Energy Company Obligation (ECO). Under this scheme medium and larger energy suppliers may fund the installation of certain energy efficiency measures. Find out more information about the scheme and if your eligible via Ofgem.

Metrology Resellers Have Critical Role in Localized Product Availability
The independent metrology equipment reseller has been an integral part of the equipment supply and support chain for as long as the industry has existed. With the ever-advancing technology of metrology equipment, and its increasing front-line role being played in manufacturing quality, the original customer relationship-based resellers have fallen by the wayside giving rise to a new breed of solutions-based metrology resellers.
The annual Control Exhibition in Stuggart, Germany presents the visitor with a smorgasbord of high technology metrology capital equipment, much of which comes from companies that you will never have heard of. Some are start-up companies, some spun out of university research projects or larger metrology equipment companies operating only in their domestic markets. All are reliant upon metrology resellers bringing their product to their respective potential market audience. Many of these products will receive no such opportunity and thus never recent their 'passport' to enter markets outside of the company's local reach.
There Are Not Enough Metrology Resellers
Many metrology products are niche with a very specialized, but also very limited application focus. Only by collectively bringing a number of these niche products together to comprise a product portfolio can a metrology reseller create a viable business.
As the large metrology groups grow ever larger, either through company acquisitions or indigenous product line extension, the space available in the market for the metrology reseller to operate has been squeezed. The consolidation of the global automotive manufacturing footprint has also reduced the local market opportunity for many resellers.
The larger metrology groups tend, in the main, to have built their own sales and support operations (subsidiaries) in key markets, particularly since their global customers demand consistent support around the globe.
The independent reseller however remains the primary route to market for so many high technology products in the metrology equipment sector.
The local metrology reseller is charged with knowing the nuances of his respect market, bringing the principles products to the local market, providing market intelligence and feedback along with world class customer application solving, training, service and support.
The emergence of a new breed of reseller to match the increasing customer demands and intensive analytical product evaluation process has meant that the reseller must be every bit as competent as the OEM in product knowledge, application knowledge, competition awareness and professionalism. The customer days of "we always buy our quality control equipment from Steve. If he does not sell it, he will find a product to meet our needs, and represent it" have long gone. In the past resellers had extensive line cards and experts of few. Today's metrology reseller is much more focused with just a few products. Customers select the right equipment for their short and longer-term needs and only after a painstaking evaluation process – and only from a local supplier that has the resources to support their investment.
Metrology News recently visited one such new era metrology reseller – OGP UK.
The company was founded in 1989 and commenced business as a subcontract CMM inspection, calibration and services company. It has now grown into a second generation family business, now named the Carfulan Group, and is made up of a team of engineering experts located at its impressive Innovation Centre near Derby, UK.
Carfulan specializes in providing the most advanced manufacturing technology solutions available to the UK market, helping to bring ideas into reality and streamlining client manufacturing processes, across four divisions including OGP UK, ZOLLER UK and VICIVISION UK. Its work covers supplying and servicing for multi-sensor inspection equipment, 3D printing and tool pre-setting and measurement, as well as turned-part measurement solutions.
Clients include world-leading companies in the aerospace, automotive, oil and gas, medical, Over the past decade the Carfulan Group has enjoyed huge growth – and now has more than 50 employees with plans in place for further expansion. In 2018 and 2019 it was named one of the London Stock Exchange's '1,000 Companies to Inspire Britain,' being recognized as one of the nation's most outstanding small to medium-sized businesses. The company has supplied more than 1,500 machines into the UK market to in excess of 700 customers.
Each division is focused on an OEM products to the extent that in the case of OGP, Vicivision and Zoller it has absorbed the brand name into its 'go-to' market company names.
The company's facility is equipped with a large portfolio of demonstration machines and equipment. Based on the customer parts evident during our visit the company is dedicated to solving very advanced and complex customer metrology issues.
Metrology Resellers Have Evolved
Metrology resellers have evolved, and are still adapting as market needs change. The entrepreneurial spirit supplied by local metrology resellers allows the industry to remain as diverse in supply base as it is keeping the industry competitive and fueling technological advances as each OEM looks to develop the next big thing. The metrology reseller is critical to both customer and OEM and will continue to be so looking far into the future.

2021 Ford Focus St Automatic Changes, Interior, Concept, Engine – The 2021 Ford Focus St Automatic RS is dead. Our January 2021 concern primarily poured the beans around the Light blue Ovals' hyper-hatch out, citing hybrid energy since the important technological innovation that would've stored it competing in the on-going very hot-hatch arms competition. It was a mixture Ford truly looked into – the RS was in the planned merchandise policy for five years just before disappearing, resources say.
Ford Focus 2021: Look, Prix, Spécifications, Versions Et Moteur
2021 Ford Focus St Automatic Redesign, Changes, Concept
In accordance with a Ford document unveiled right now, higher development expenses and transforming emission regulations mean the Focus RS won't happen. GKN's e-Twinster's electric 4-wheel travel has become no longer feasible for your super-hatch – and this results in the 2021 leading old within the water. Due to pan-European emissions specifications, increased CO2 taxation along with the higher cost of creating an RS with some type of electrification for the relatively reduced volume of vehicles, we are not organizing one more RS variation of your Focus.
We keep devoted to Ford Efficiency vehicles in The european countries included in our DNA with cars just like the multiple-award winning Focus and Fiesta ST as well as our Mustang and Ranger Raptor models.'The reports entails the Focus ST is already the easiest Focus you will actually have the ability to buy – for over 400bhp purchasers can want to look with the Mercedes-AMG A45.Stacking in the organization circumstance proven difficult. The Focus RS is incredibly very much a Western achievement scenario – the Focus is no longer marketed in the usa, and there's insufficient need for a super-hatch out in other key market segments including Asia.With Europe only able to generate 8-10,000 sales a year, the electrified RS couldn't produce ample income presented its high-priced aspect bottom.
Overall performance models can also be beneath danger from emissions rules that convince vehicle manufacturers to average all around 95g/km of Carbon dioxide all over their entire fleets. Autos with major carbon dioxide footprints, such as very-saloons from Mercedes-AMG and BMW's M Department, are disappearing from price listings in a puff of light up. In the mean time Peugeot Activity is reinventing its GTI models as [%pure|100 % pure|real|natural%] EVs and satisfaction hybrids. Sadly Ford couldn't adhere to fit with the Focus RS.
2021 Ford Focus St Automatic Engine Specs, Horsepower
Extreme like a Focus could, inevitably riding harder compared to a malfunctioning dodgem auto and accelerating faster than most sports activities vehicles. That electronically-assisted all-tire-drive method may have even permitted a continuation of Ford's Drift Function, to contend with the sideways-inclined Mercedes-AMG A45.
Ford has type featuring its 2.3-litre EcoBoost engine, so that that unit may have remained the cornerstone from the after that die hard all-tire-travel hot hatch out. The last RS created 370bhp and 376lb ft in Mountune-fettled spec.This should've been as soon as that Ford pressed two contrasting control keys: the RS was tipped to feature a 48-voltage included beginner-power generator (ISG) for any mild boost of all the-electric strength at low revs.
The outbound Focus RS (listed below) was significantly an all-combustion matter, repeating the solution coming from all 3 many years of quickly Focus.Incorporating electric powered help was really a clever means of assuaging the Azure Oval's green ideals, and accompanied the Mustang Mach-E all-electric crossover – however provided the ability to raise the RS's performance creds more. And everyone knows how quickly Fords mustn't give any quarter on completely brawn and muscle.
Ford Focus 2021: Look, Prix, Spécifications, Versions Et Moteur
2021 Ford Focus St Automatic Release Date and Price
