 he introduces his emotional guidance scale and levels of consciousness. This book is a deeper dive into “the entire spectrum of consciousness, from the lower levels of Shame, Guilt, Apathy, Fear, Anger, and Pride; to Courage, Acceptance, and Reason; all the way up to the more expanded levels of Love, Ecstasy, Peace, and Enlightenment.” If you want to understand your emotional frequency and how to master your reality from a vibratory state, this is the book to pick up.
It’s been amazing seeing a young, queer, brown, male blow up in mainstream media. I wish there were artists like Lil Nas X when I was growing up, I think it would have made it a lot easier for me to accept myself. What I love is that this album is full of testimony to how trusting his intuition and refusing to let the industry dictate the music he put out allowed him to be successful by being totally authentic. We love to see it.
A month ago I went out and bought a half-gallon bottle in an effort to drink more water. It’s been doing wonders for my energy and my skin, MY SKIN, has never looked and felt more clear. Most people don’t realize their low energy could be a symptom of dehydration. Water also has cellular memory, so if you were to give your water good intention (pray over it, speak positive affirmations into, etc) it has been known to increase your capacity to attract better things.
Not only is this a really cool stone to look at, it brings with it mystical as well as grounding properties. Labradorite changes colors and is known as a stone of transformation, enhancing strength of will and inner worth. It can help connect you with your higher self during meditation as well as see others with more compassion and empathy.
If you take anything away from this post, I hope it is the knowledge that your intuition is an inner resource that you have the ability to tap into whenever you need it. My parting words and hope for you is that something magical comes your way to show you just how powerfully in tune and in divine timing you already are. Be well.Vogue Australia

Vogue" "Australia is the Australian edition of "Vogue" magazine. "Vogue Australia" became the 4th edition of Vogue in 1959 after "Vogue", "British Vogue" and "Vogue Paris". Prior to becoming a stand-alone issue, the Australian edition was a supplement in "British Vogue" from 1952. Australian Vogue occasionally has supplements: "Vogue Business Australia, Vogue Man Australia", and "Vogue Fashion Week Australia". In Australia, "Vogue Living" was first published in 1967. "Vogue Australia" celebrated its 60th anniversary issue in December 2019 with Edward Enninful and "British Vogue".
Features.
Indigenous Australian representation.
Elaine George became the first Indigenous Australian model to feature on the cover of any edition of "Vogue" with her September 1993 "Vogue Australia" cover. Regarding her historic cover, George stated "I wanted to make sure I represented my people in the best way […] it was like bringing the rest of Australia on a journey. I had that opportunity to make way for the next young Aboriginal model". In June 2010, 17 years after George, Dunghutti model Samantha Harris became the second Indigenous Australian model to feature on the cover of "Vogue Australia". This was followed by Awabakal model Charlee Frasers' cover in April 2018.
"Vogue Australia" has featured the work of Indigenous artists and designers. The 60th Anniversary issue in December 2019 featured Yolngu model Maminydjama (Magnolia) Maymuru and artist Maree Clarke, among others. 
On the theme of "hope", for the September 2020 cover, during the COVID-19 pandemic in Australia, "Vogue Australia" worked with the National Gallery of Australia to commission artist Betty Muffler, an Aṉangu Pitjantjatjara woman and "Ngangkaṟi" (spiritual healer) from remote South Australia, to bring hope and healing with her artwork "Ngangkari Ngura (Healing Country)". Of the cover, Muffler said, "Through my paintings you can see my Ngangkari work: watching over people and also looking after Country. My Country. This place is very important – we all need to look after each other and respect our home".
Healthy body initiative.
May 2013 marked the first anniversary of a healthy body initiative that was signed by the magazine's international editors—the initiative represents a commitment from the editors to promote positive body images within the content of "Vogue"'s numerous editions. "Vogue Australia" editor Edwina McCann explained:In the magazine we're moving away from those very young, very thin girls. A year down the track, we ask ourselves what can "Vogue" do about it? And an issue like this [June 2013 issue] is what we can do about it. If I was aware of a girl being ill on a photo shoot I wouldn't allow that shoot to go ahead, or if a girl had an eating disorder I would not shoot her.The Australian edition's June 2013 issue was entitled "Vogue Australia": "The Body Issue" and featured articles on exercise and nutrition, as well as a diverse range of models. New York-based Australian plus-size model Robyn Lawley, previously featured on the cover of "Vogue Italia", also appeared in a swimwear shoot for the June issue.
Jonathan Newhouse, Condé Nast International chairman, stated that ""Vogue" editors around the world want the magazines to reflect their commitment to the health of the models who appear on the pages and the wellbeing of their readers." Alexandra Shulman, one of the magazine's editors, commented on the initiative by stating, "As one of the fashion industry's most powerful voices, "Vogue" has a unique opportunity to engage with relevant issues where we feel we can make a difference."Based on driving experience Ferrer, that's not the subjective case and I suspect it's because you are only looking at peak torque and not torque available at the revs the gears are running in.
You know what would actually be a very interesting read? A comprehensive technical, test, and drive review by an automotive journalist outlet comparing like model cars with diesels vs ottos, akin to the cars mentioned by RM. Grab and test a whole whack in the range.
Matra hits it with peak torque. Things are complicated in these comparos when you start talking about peak torque, torque curve, redline/peak power, gearing, etc etc.
I am curious what boost the Cummins/Powerstroke/Duramax are pushing.
For some reason I am having a hard time pulling what the stock boost on those bad boys are, only that they can usually take up to ca. 50lbs of boost...
For US pickups diesels do have an added benefit if you live at altitude. Like all turbos they don't have the fear of heights a NA motor gets at 3000m. I was in the Rockies two years ago. I never noticed a drop in power associated with altitude thanks to my SAAB's turbo. At 3000m I think the fall off in power is around 30% for an NA car. Turbos do lose power but not nearly as much. Most trucks are not turbos though all the diesels are so if you are going up the hills a diesel is a nice thing to have.
The real test was 2.0T vs 2.0 diesel vs 2.5L I5 vs hybrid.
The 2.5L was a clear loser but really that motor has always been a bit of a dog. The hybrid is compelling given the lower fuel costs and negligible loss in mileage. There is fear of the battery losing performance later in life. However, the US VW diesel's have a nasty expensive particle filter that is likely to need service after 100k miles for around $3k.
According to the EPA, the TDI should be good for 30 mpg in the city, 42 on the highway, and 34 combined. (Those results are with the manual or the quick-shifting DSG automatic, which was the transmission in our car.) We logged an impressive 39 mpg, which was—and this is significant—better than we achieved with the hybrid.
I don't find it significant at all. The diesel should be much better than the other three.
Does anyone know the test route, conditions and speed?
It's also interesting to see how shot geared is the USDM diesel automatic, only 50,1km/h @ 1,000rpm in top gear which is shorter the EDM 1.6 TDI engine (50,7km/h @ 1,000rpm in the 5 speed manual, 51,6km/h @ 1,000rpm in the 7 speed auto).
The manual EDM Jetta 2.0 TDI has 58,4km/h @ 1,000rpm, which if it is the same in the USDM model would have greatly improved fuel consumption.
It's significant if you're an average US consumer. Hybrids will save the world!
Most hybrids, compared to Toyota HSD, do have shorter battery life. Just as in your cell phone, they do not simply just go out, they deteriorate. Honda hybrids are notorious for this and although there are charging strategies and recals which can go part way towards pluggimg the gap, no Hybrid really has the financial advantage save perhaps for the Fords. Hyundai may prove an exception as well.
And here is the crux of the environmental argument
