Aerio..inspiration Comes Out While Driving It — overall it's a great car I ever had. with ABS, ABD I feel safe to drive it even it's raining hard. interior has a lot of space for driver and passanger, and I can put the audio with 1 subwoofer at the trunk.

2002 Suzuki Aerio 4 Dr SX WagonReview
Love It!! — Bought the station wagon model in 2002. I love it. The handling is great;it has enough power if i need get pass somebody in a hurry. The sound system is excellent. The trunk area is roomy enough to food shop for a family of six. Don't like the fact that the backseat windows only go down half way. The only maintenance needed was the basic oil change, tire rotation, new tires and breaks.Gas mileage is great. The overall appearance is stylish.It's really fun to drive.The price was right when i bought it didn't have alot of money at the time. Still glad that i made the purchase.
Primary Use: Family transportation
Pros: see above
Cons: see above
2002 Suzuki Aerio 4 Dr SX WagonReview
Our First Investment Is A Suzuki — We got the car in 2002 when we were really poor, the cost of the car took about almost all of our assests leaving nothing but only 2 months of rent. Our third month of rent was earned because of this car. Currently it has a aftermarket supercharger, yokohama sport tires, and a after market air filter. We are in china now and its sittng in our apartment's underground garage.
Pros: acceleration from 0-60km/h, 130-150, large trunk (for mom's shopping) somewhat sporty appearance, engine never broke down. even after a big crash in the front passenger side
Cons: Loudness of the wind while cruising at 120-140km/h, the lightness of its doors make it unsafe
2002 Suzuki Aerio 4 Dr SX WagonReview
Cheap, Reliable, Irritating Transportation —
My Aerio SX was a very good car for about 2 and a half years, except for one minor problem the dealer couldn't fix. The serpentine belt would have to be replaced every 10,000 miles. Since the factory manual says to inspect the belt every 30,000 miles and replace as needed, that was far too soon for the belt to wear out, in my opinion. This would also indicate the need to be aware of the reputation of your dealer. My dealer simply refused to talk to me after the warranty period was over. Aside from that, I put over 50,000 miles on my Aerio without any major mechanical break downs. Their was a minor problem with plastic pieces breaking after the first three years but that was more of an irritation than a reliability problem. This car was priced thousands of dollars below their competitor's closest comparable model so you know there were corners cut. In my opinion, the major cutting was done to the materials, particularly the plastic, used for this car. Add to that the fact I bought the first model year for the Aerio which is usually associated with minor problems of the kind I had. To summarize my feelings about this car, you get what you pay for. If you need a reliable car but can live with little irritations like the vanes in the A/C vents disconnecting and blowing air anywhere but where you want them to, or things coming loose inside the door panels and buzzing to the beat of the your door speakers, then buy an Aerio. If, on the other hand, you do not have the patience and tolerance of a Buddhist Monk, and can afford to finance an extra thousand or two, buy a Toyota Matrix.

Hi, today is give away day. I have selected a few things that I hope you will like. First is a felted vessel made from crocheted hand spun wool, with a flower that has a vintage button center. It measures about 4 inches high and 4 inches in diameter. The colors are not as bright as in the photo. Second is a knitted and felted wool heart, also about 4 inches in diameter. Next, is a beautiful stitch marker, handmade by my daughter, Lauren. Finally, I will include a yard of hand crocheted fringe trim. The trim is crocheted with a very nice acrylic yarn that is very soft. I chose this yarn in case you decided to use it on something that will be washed.
So there it is...just leave me a comment and a way to get in touch with you. If you would like a second chance then link this page to your blog, then let me know! I will choose a winner at random on Sunday, June 14. Good luck!!

Napoli defender Kalidou Koulibaly has been on Chelsea's radar for some time now and is believed to have come close to joining the Blues last summer.
With another transfer window set to open at the end of the season, the rumour mill has started spinning, with reports claiming that the Londoners have reignited their interest in the towering 26-year-old centre-back.
MARCO BERTORELLO/GettyImages
The player's agent, Bruno Satin, has indicated that the player's future does depend on Champions League qualification, as well as Maurizio Sarri's future. But he has also admitted that he does not know what will happen.
"Transfers? There's always a need to refresh things at a club, and that implies a change of players or staff, but I have no information about Napoli, although they certainly need to improve," he told Radio Crc (via Football Italia).
"Koulibaly, Sarri and Hysaj to Chelsea? I don't know anything, neither do I know if Chelsea will qualify for the Champions League or not.
MARCO BERTORELLO/GettyImages
(You may also be interested in: 8 of the Best Innovations to Improve the Modern Game of Football)
"It's important to understand how the season will end because important players want to play the Champions League. Is Koulibaly worth €100m? The market and De Laurentiis will decide because Kalidou has no release clause.
"The President may also decide to keep him because he considers him important for the team. I don't know if these three games will be his last for Napoli because there have been offers every year, but Koulibaly has always ended up staying, so he won't necessarily leave.
"It's difficult to make predictions now, plus there's also a need to understand what Sarri will do."

Breakfast in the back garden produced this Buzzard flying overhead - a welcome and very overdue species for the garden list.
Had a walk with the rellies round the lakes - a few butterflies and this caterpillar were the only things of note though the amount of warblers calling was a welcome diversion from nattering about family matters.
My first attempt at Bat photography was poor - though the evening was brightened up by the odd appearance of three Common Sandpipers chasing each other in teh fading light (8.55-9.10pm!).

In Conversation: Tracy Friedlander
Building a successful portfolio career, talking about money and thinking about your audience.
Your podcast, Crushing Classical, is all about promoting career options for performers, and helping break down some of the barriers around talking about what classical musicians can be. Can you tell me about how it started, and what sparked its beginning?
Yes! Crushing Classical started out as a Facebook page called Horn Wise. I talked about stories from my career and things like how much debt I had from music school (something I noticed that people mostly didn't talk about publicly). As I spent more time looking around online I noticed there were many musicians who were doing some cool things outside of a job in an orchestra. That was when I decided to start the podcast, which led to the movement to talk about broadening what is possible for a career as a classical musician. And that's when I changed the name to Crushing Classical.
What I aim to do is challenge musicians to think outside the problem they think they have, which is that there are limited jobs and too many competitors for those jobs. Musicians can choose to be the creator of their career vs. making a job in an orchestra the definition of their career. There is so much more potential and also so much more freedom. This is what I've been seeing in my own career in both myself and the people around me for the last 15 years as a professional freelance horn player.
What sparked the beginning of Crushing Classical was exactly this. I made playing in an orchestra the end-all-be-all of my own career, and thought that my quest for a job of my own would never end until I got one. In 2005 I left the Chicago freelance scene when I was offered a job - I was the runner-up to an audition and they offered me a per-service job with no contract, but it was full-time orchestra work. I was ready to make a consistent income, so I picked up and moved. I ended up meeting my husband, getting married, and having a daughter. That was when my priorities changed; I liked where I lived, and I didn't want to keep searching and never knowing where I'd go next. I actually wanted to live my life. But after all the excitement of being newly married and becoming a mother, I really still wanted more in my career, but the answer wasn't to get back on the audition path again. I wanted to contribute to the musician community. I wanted to bring value. I wanted to talk about the things that I've been seeing in the orchestra world for so long and that I didn't know coming out of college. Every day more and more students graduate from music school expecting to enter a job market that doesn't have enough jobs for everyone. I've seen this problem for a long time and noticed that no one is really talking about it. As I went deeper, I saw that it was only part of the problem. I also knew that so many musicians like me working professionally want more for their own careers and a conversation like this could be valuable to them as well.
As well as running CC, you are a classically-trained professional horn player. When in your career did you begin thinking about career options for musicians, and how did your own personal experiences as a practicing musician influence the work you are doing now?
I honestly didn't start to think much about career options for other musicians until I started Crushing Classical. I recognised for a long time that young musicians are facing an even tougher job market than they did when I was coming out of school. After starting Crushing Classical, I saw that it really goes deeper than not enough jobs. The problem is that most musicians think a job is their only option. I also saw that the classical world is not changing with the times. Musicians in the orchestra world aren't taking the bull by the horns to make changes and helping classical music thrive. There are a number of musicians creating new ensembles but the majority of the larger orchestras remain operating in the same antiquated way.
My own personal experiences as a musician influence my work greatly. Despite having a pretty good resume of professional experience, I always felt that because I didn't reach my ultimate goal of a paid orchestra position of my own, I didn't have a "real" career. As I reflected on it, I saw some important things about how skewed the musician point of view is about the "almighty job". As a regular player in the same orchestra for nearly 10 seasons, I learned a lot about the inner workings of orchestras and what a job is really like on a day to day basis: things you don't think about as you fantasise about how amazing it will be to someday get paid to play your instrument for a living. Simply put, the work isn't sexy. It was very enlightening to see this and has definitely influenced my point of view about the orchestra world.
Can you explain what a portfolio career means, and what it can look like for a classically trained musician?
It's common for musicians to create freelance careers that include playing a whole bunch of gigs and teaching - whether they have a full-time position in an orchestra or not. In today's world, you cannot really be a musician on one salary or income stream. It's necessary to take it a step further and develop skills outside playing and teaching. Classical musicians tend to make what they do their identity, so they think doing something outside of performing makes them less of a musician. The possibilities are endless. And if you're lucky enough to create an income stream from something you love, you can say no to gigs you don't want. For example, if you have a thriving recording business, you'll have the freedom to turn down gigs you don't actually want. And the truth is that turning down gigs you don't want makes room for opportunities you DO want.
What are the skills outside of instrument mastery that are really important for young performers to learn while they're still studying?
I personally wish I would have learned improvising, arranging and composing. I wish there was talk of learning new genres or even working on creating your own hybrid genres - which goes into the arranging and composing thing. Time spent memorising historical dates in school could be better spent learning a skill you can actually use, such as understanding technology like sound recording or video editing. And the number one skill everyone should have is the ability to enrol people in their ideas - which is what selling yourself is. When you can enrol people in what you're up to, anything is possible. There's an art to getting people on board with what you want to do. Think of people who created successful music festivals or programs that relied on funding or donations. Each of those people had to be able to talk to people, engage them and enrol them in what they wanted to do. This feeds directly into the importance of audience building. It's a noisy world. There are way too many entertainment choices. If you have an idea for a great ensemble or something to present, it's up to you to build your own audience. Classical musicians go through school not thinking about the audience. What a mistake! Gone are the days where you can only perfect your playing and emerge to an awaiting audience. When you're in school, everything is ready-made for you. It's a false sense of reality. Students don't have to create anything. And then when they finally arrive in the real world, it's a shock. Bottom line is you have to create your reality, and the first time is when you step out of school. Today's world requires you to start creating well before you exit your degree program.
Talking about finance and money-making can sometimes be a little challenging for musicians because of the dialogue that surrounds arts practice and being a "starving artist". How do we change that dialogue, and what do you wish all young musicians would understand about making money through their art?
What I'd like musicians to get is that you don't have to be a starving artist. It's not a requirement. The mindset around money is so much deeper than how much cash you have in your bank account at the moment. It reflects what you think you're worth and what you're willing to do for money. If you believe there's a money ceiling and you're only "allowed" to make a certain amount of money, you'll create that for yourself. I can attest to having a scarcity mentality for a long time. When I auditioned for jobs with small salaries, I was confident and played well at the audition. For jobs that seemed like a crazy awesome amount of money, I sabotaged my playing.
When I first started CC, I didn't talk about money with my guests. As Crushing Classical evolved, I brought on my contributing partner, Eileen. She's a former musician who went into the business world. She asked me directly why I didn't talk about money on the podcast. My only reason was that it felt awkward. After that conversation, I quickly got over it. I realized the awkwardness IS the reason why no one talks about it.
I've personally had enough of musicians justifying going into massive amounts of school debt (I did) with no plan of how they'll pay it back. I know this problem exists in other careers, and it's a glaring problem for music majors. Most are coming out of a degree program with maybe ONE idea of how they'll make money - and six figures worth of debt. It's a real problem. What I wish all young musicians would understand about making money through their art is there is no rule that you have to starve. That's ridiculous. Many musicians have proven that notion wrong. Starvation is a choice and it begins with your mindset around money.
What are some of the major challenges facing young arts practitioners today, and how can they be proactive about driving their own careers?
I'd say the main challenges for everyone in the arts is how much entertainment there is available today. The internet has created constant and mostly free or cheap entertainment. Audiences are changing and orchestral audiences are dwindling. Giving people what they want would be a good place to start. Looking in other areas of entertainment (other genres of music, other entertainment industries, etc.) for ideas is another place to start. I'm looking forward to seeing what classical musicians create as the future unfolds.
Musicians can be proactive by building their own audience. Document your journey on social media. It's a great way to build an audience that's interested in your story. Include the highs and lows, the successes and failures. No one wants to watch a social media account loaded with next concert notifications. People want to be entertained and they love a good story - happy or sad. Keep learning, get skilled, create multiple streams of income. And of course, listen to Crushing Classical podcast on iTunes and join the conversation for even more ideas on how to be proactive about driving your own career.

Mesothelioma: Stories of Hope and Survival
Mesothelioma. Cancer. Horrible words that strike fear into those of us who just hear them on TV, or in conversation. Imagine the horror of hearing them from your doctor. Then the words treatment, radiation, chemotherapy, surgery, and life expectancy. That is if you could even hear over the crushing weight of just the diagnosis. So what is this disease exactly? Who and where does it strike? Here is some basic information and more importantly, some stories of hope from people who have beaten the odds.
What is Mesothelioma?
Mesothelioma is a form of cancer that is fairly rare, accounting for only 0.02 percent of cancer cases in the United States. It effects the lining of the internal organs. The most common form is pleural malignant mesothelioma, which targets the lining around the lungs. Peritoneal mesothelioma is much rarer and refers to the tissue of the abdomen.
What Causes It?
While exact causes can vary, the major risk factor for mesothelioma is exposure to asbestos containing products or living with someone who was exposed to them. Asbestos is known for its insulating and fire resistant properties. While it is no longer widely used, it can be found in items such as:
- Brake linings
- Insulation
- Cement
- Floor tiles
- Roofing materials
- And many others
Today, it is still used, but highly regulated so as to minimize the risk of exposure.
The Prognosis
Though rare, mesothelioma is one of the deadliest forms of cancer. It is estimated that only 40 percent of patients diagnosed will survive the first year, 20 percent make it to two years, and only 8 percent will still be alive three years later. The news isn't all bad though. Advances in early diagnosis and treatment are making these numbers better every year.
Beating the Odds
The devastation of this disease is obvious and horrific, but there is hope. There are people who are fighting and winning against mesothelioma. Here are the stories of some courageous people with a lesson for all of us in hope and determination.
Twenty-seven years after being exposed to asbestos while in the Navy, a 51-year-old man was diagnosed with lung cancer. He was lucky enough to find it early. He endured radiation, chemotherapy, and even surgery. He credits his life today with the early detection. Mesothelioma often mimics a cold or the flu and is therefore misdiagnosed.
Another patient credits her survival, now 6 years after diagnosis, with a procedure called HiPEC, which involves heated chemotherapy. She suffered from peritoneal mesothelioma that was only diagnosed when surgeons found lesions on her diaphragm during gallbladder surgery. No other tests, before or after the diagnosis, revealed these lesions including CT or PET scans. The HiPEC combined with surgery to resect part of her diaphragm has resulted in her remaining cancer free since treatment ended.
A young single mother in Florida attributes her mesothelioma to her time working in the Empire State Building in New York during its renovation in the 1980s. She was devastated to learn of her diagnosis in 2002, when her daughter was only 5. She credits her 12 plus year survival to many things including two rounds of chemotherapy, the second round four years after the first, when the cancer returned. She also believes her relatively young age (44 at diagnosis), her physical fitness, and her faith in God all played a part.
It's true that mesothelioma is a devastating disease, one with no cure and a poor prognosis, but there are survivors. There is hope. Early detection is key, so if you or a loved one has symptoms that don't seem to go away, get a second, third or even fourth opinion if necessary. With the right doctors and treatments, there really is hope.

This course is focused on the practical side of penetration testing without neglecting the theory behind each attack. Before jumping into penetration testing, you will first learn how to set up a lab and install needed software to practice penetration testing on your own machine. All the attacks explained in this course are launched against real devices in my lab.+The course is structured in a way that will take you through the basics of Linux, computer systems, networks and how devices communicate with each other, then you will learn how to exploit this method of communication to carry out a number of powerful attacks. This course will take you from a beginner to a more advanced level.
The following topics will be covered during the course:
Learn to Hack any Android Phones and Tablets
Today most people are keeping all their critical data (Emails, Contacts, SMS, Personnel files) on Smartphones and tablet that use different platform like Android and doesn't have the same layers of security like PC's and accordingly peoples may think that their data is safe because they have an Anti Virus and Firewall on their computers while the truth is that all the data is replicated on their smartphone or another android devices that is very easy to compromise.
This course consists of three different parts, first parts is about Kali Linux which will be used as Hacking platform, second part is about how to hack Android devices and third part is how to hack using Android devices, finally I would like to clarify that the course will be updated frequently with all new Android vulnerabilities and the exploitation techniques.

If we True Parents' children don't do this, who will? God has told us that True Parents' are the MESSIAH. When the Samaritan at the well found out about Jesus, the MESSIAH, she went and told many people. When Jesus came to those people, someone had already been there and told them about Him. We call this making the way straight for Jesus. My family, we have the GREATIST BREAKING NEWS of all times: True Parents, the MESSIAH IS ON THE EARTH RIGHT NOW.

Global WholeHealth Partners Corp (OTC: GWHP), a multinational supplier of over 70+ FDA Approved Diagnostic Tests, attains breakthrough on rising neurological disease.
"This could simply be described as nothing short of a Medical Breakthrough in Parkinson's Disease Diagnostic Testing for us." -- said Charles Strongo, CEO of Global WholeHealth Partners, Corp (OTC:GWHP).
Global WholeHealth Partners now has the means to identify and test for Parkinson's disease using a Micro-Well Reader or Lateral Flow Test to measure the certain brain enzymes during the data collection process used in a positive diagnosis. This was disclosed in an 8K filing which can be found by clicking here. Filed on 03/21/2021
"We believe this announcement couldn't come at a better time for us as we are right in the middle of Parkinson's Awareness Month," said Mr. Strongo.
"I just read an article from TheGuardian.com that discussed how Parkinson's disease is on the rise and researchers are pointing to a common chemical as the blame," exclaimed Strongo.
Dr. Ray Dorsey says, "We're on the tip of a very, very large iceberg."
Dorsey, a neurologist at the University of Rochester Medical Center and author of Ending Parkinson's Disease, believes a Parkinson's epidemic is on the horizon. Parkinson's is already the fastest-growing neurological disorder in the world; in the US, the number of people with Parkinson's has increased 35% the last 10 years, says Dorsey, and "We think over the next 25 years it will double again."
Most cases of Parkinson's disease are considered idiopathic – they lack a clear cause. Yet researchers increasingly believe that one factor is environmental exposure to trichloroethylene (TCE), a chemical compound used in industrial degreasing, dry-cleaning and household products such as some shoe polishes and carpet cleaners. Link to TheGuardian.com article can be found here.
Approximately 60,000 Americans are diagnosed with PD each year.
-More than 10 million people worldwide are living with PD.
-Incidence of Parkinson's disease increases with age, but an estimated four percent of people with PD are diagnosed before age 50.
-Men are 1.5 times more likely to have Parkinson's disease than women.
When a large population of people have a disease like Parkinson's disease (PD), it's essential to have accurate numbers of how many people have the disease, where they live and why they have it. This information helps researchers, healthcare professionals and even legislators determine how many resources should be allocated to addressing and treating a disease.

"Early detection for Parkinson's disease is not only crucial for patients and their quality of life, but this data is also used by researchers to seek out commonalities, causes and hopefully cures," commented Strongo.
Mr. Charles Strongo, the Chairman and CEO of Global WholeHealth Partners Corp, said, "The Company's goal is to offer the fastest and most reliable in-vitro diagnostic tests on the market, while keeping ahead in R&D, by offering FDA Approved Troponin I Whole Blood, Influenza A & B, and Strep A. The Company also has international testing, which is not sold in the USA, with an FDA Certificate of Exportability (2260-11-2019) for tests like ZIKA, Rapid Ebola, Rapid Dengue Fever Antibody, and Antigen, Rapid Tuberculosis (TB), Rapid Malaria, and many other rapid tests."
GWHP develops, manufactures, and markets in vitro diagnostic (IVD) tests for OTC, or consumer-use as well as professional rapid diagnostic point-of-care (POC) test kits for hospitals, physicians' offices, and medical clinics in the US and abroad. The Company has the capacity to deliver hundreds of thousands of tests, and can ramp up to 1 million tests per day. Currently, the Company has 56 products FDA approved and many are Approved for OTC use, and 9 POC products approved by the FDA.

France: A legal right to switch off from work
On 19 June 2013, France's social partners adopted a national interprofessional agreement on well-being at work which encourages businesses to find ways of avoiding intrusion on employees' private lives by defining periods when devices can be switched off and no company emails will be sent. The aim is to improve working conditions but also to avoid legal disputes.
France's so-called '35 hours a week reform', Law No. 2008-789 of 20 August 2008 on renewal of social democracy and reform of working time (in French), makes it possible, through collective agreements, to fix the number of working days a year expected of managers and 'autonomous employees' for whom it is not possible to calculate working time. Because the French Supreme Court has rejected several provisions in collective agreements that set such limits on working time, social partners have negotiated amendments to increase protection for employees. Meanwhile, in some sectors and companies, the social partners are trying to protect workers' private lives by developing the principle of a 'right to switch off' ICT devices during the compulsory rest period of 11 hours between two working days.
Landmark agreement on quality of working life
After nine months of negotiation, an agreement was signed by social partners in France on the quality of working life and professional equality, the National Interprofessional Agreement of 19 June 2013 towards a policy of improving the quality of working life and professional equality (91.7 KB PDF, in French). The agreement was signed by all three of the country's employer organisations. Three of the five union confederations put their names to the document – the French Democratic Confederation of Labour (CFDT), the General Confederation of Professional and Managerial Staff (CFE-CGC), and the French Christian Workers' Confederation (CFTC). The two other representative trade unions, the General Confederation of Labour (CGT) and the General Confederation of Labour–Force Ouvrière (CGT-FO), refused to sign.
The agreement, summarised in a EurWORK article in August 2013, contains a series of measures to 'improve the quality of life at work, the reconciliation of time and professional equality'. It asks social partners to look at the way in which technology allows work to intrude on employees' private lives through the use of devices such as laptops and smartphones. There is a suggestion that agreement could be reached on a period of time during which internet connectivity between the worker and the workplace could be suspended.
Sectoral-level agreement
On 11 December 2012, before the landmark agreement, social partners within the construction sector amended two of their national collective agreements. One covers managers, and the other employees and technicians.
The amendment that affects managers, Avenant n° 1 du 11 décembre 2012 relatif à la convention de forfait en jours, was signed by two employers' organisations, the National Federation of Public Works (FNTP) and the public works section of the Federation of Cooperative Societies for the Production of Building and Public Works (Fédération Scop BTP). The union signatories were the four representative unions (CFDT, CFTC, CFE-CGC and CGT-FO).
The aim was to rewrite provisions of the 'forfait-jours' system following the Supreme Court's decisions. In these amendments, social partners made it clear that a manager (or an 'autonomous worker') is entitled to rest time and respect for their private life and, in particular, has the right to decide to make limited use of communication tools when not on duty. An amendment to the collective agreement (in French, 5.4 MB PDF) of the engineering and consulting sector, signed on 1 April 2014, goes further. It stipulates that the employee has an 'obligation to switch off remote communication devices' during minimum rest periods of 11 hours a day and 35 hours per week. Furthermore, the employer must ensure that the employee is able to switch off. The amendment was signed by the two main employers' organisations (Fédération Syntec and CINOV) and two unions (CFE-CGC and CFDT).
Company-level agreements
This right to switch off had already been included in an agreement dated 31 May 2012 on the development of well-being at work within the nuclear energy Areva group. The text invites every employee to disconnect from the company network and not to send emails outside normal working hours.
At electronics specialists Thales, a group agreement dated 4 February 2014 on well-being at work grants 'a right to disconnect outside company opening hours', or at least 'for the duration of the legal daily and weekly rest periods'. Line management also undertakes not to send emails during these periods.
To avoid receiving emails during rest periods, the social protection company Reunica has opted for a more radical solution. The company's mail system will switch off between 20.00 and 07.00 on weekdays and from Friday at 20.00 to Monday at 07.00, so that nobody (except top managers) may send emails during these periods. Four unions approved this agreement – CFE-CGC, CFDT, CGT and the National Union of Autonomous Trade Unions (UNSA). The agreement stipulates that 'every employee has the right of respect during rest periods and no interference with private life, including limited use, through their own initiative, of communication means'.
For reference, in Germany, the option to prevent the sending of emails was agreed in February 2014 by automotive manufacturer BMW and the union IG Metall.
Social partner reactions
On the employers' side, the 'right to switch off' is part of a global approach to avoid penal sanctions in case of work-related injuries or illness of an employee who would be able to prove a link between his or her illness or accident and long working hours.
All unions have signed such agreements, which are popular with their members. The union UGICT-CGT (the section of the CGT representing managers) launched a 'right to disconnect' information campaign in September 2014, in favour of 'the right to switch off and a real decrease in working time' and held a seminar on the subject on 15 October 2014. The union wants to reinforce regulation about calculating working time, 'forfait-jours' and telework. It also wants a framework governing the use of communication and information technologies as well as business travel.
Asking workers to 'switch off' on their own initiative seems a weak solution, especially for the young generation that is always 'connected'. Switching off the email providers of the company could be a better solution, even if employees would have to face a huge number of emails when they return to work in the morning. As noted by labour law professor Jean-Emmanuel Ray (2014),'the victim here is also often the persecutor' ('Droit du travail, Droit vivant', Liaisons sociales magazine). This means that measures have to be put in place to prevent 24-hour emailing to reduce employees' exposure to excessive electronic messages. One good practice could be the programme launched in 2011 by the company ATOS, which expects to become a 'zero email' company. According to the company, its 'zero email programme' is powerful because it focuses on reducing the overall number of messages sent. So far in 2014 it has saved 25% of work time previously spent on email and reduced disruptions and email overload by 60% – down from an average of 100 internal emails per employee per week to 40. Furthermore a certification process has resulted in 220 business processes being redesigned to become 'email free'. To increase quality of life at work, the first step should be to reduce the number of emails workers send in copy to all their colleagues.

I haven't done much on the kitchen table for a while, so today I decided to do a simple fall setting for us. My kitchen table is small, perfect for the 2 of us; it just doesn't have much room for a centerpiece.
I started with these great fall placemats. I think I picked them up at Family Dollar last year, but I have also seen them at Dollar General.
I started with my white Nikko dinner plates. I'm planning to add color on top, so I wanted white on the bottom.
I still love these Better Homes & Gardens fall plates that I picked up at Wal Mart a few years back. They come out with a new fall pattern every year, but so far I've not found one that I like as well as these.
I love, love these little pots, a Dollar General find from several years ago. We love taco soup in the fall and winter, so that is when I usually pull these pots out. Yes, we did have a little cool snap last week and I made a huge crock pot of the soup. However, it has now warmed back up to the typical high eighties for this time of year. Oh, well, I try not to complain since it will only be a few months until I'm ready for cool weather to end and warm weather to begin!
I chose gold out of my napkins in fall colors and used the maple leaf napkin rings.
Glasses are Dollar Tree green…big suprise, right? What would we tablescapers do without Dollar Tree?
I chose my everyday Chateau flatware, and I was done. I am very pleased with my simple fall place setting.
Pumpkin votives are perfect for this setting since there is hardly any room between the 2 placemats. I tried to show how cute the flame makes the pumpkin look, but my photo in broad daylight just doesn't do it justice.
I even turned off the lights, but there was still too much natural light for you to tell much. You just have to trust me that these look really cute.
I grabbed 3 of my ceramic pumpkins off the mantle and I was done.
Cute, simple fall table! How could this not cheer someone up on a drab fall day?
To continue with my autumn reflections from the last post, I will try to catch you up on some other happenings with us. To break up the printed material, I will insert some extra pics I had of both today's table and the recent one in the dining room.
David and I are very blessed to be in our late fifties and have 4 living parents. Not many people our age can say that! That being said, it is a fact that the elderly do tend to have health problems, and our parents are no different. In particular, his father and my mother have had some health issues lately.
David and I both feel very fortunate that we live close enough and have flexible enough schedules that we can help them out when needed. We have spent some time the last few months doing some things for them, or sometimes doing nothing at all…just visiting. They often express that they feel like they are infringing on our time, but nothing could be further from the truth. They never act like they believe us when we tell them that we enjoy helping out and would not do it if we didn't want to. We have, in fact, not helped out at certain times when we have done other things that we needed or wanted to do.
In particular, my mother spent the better part of August and September in and out of the hospital and dealing with various health issues. A few days after her second hospital stay, she lost her twin brother, so she has had a rough time lately. She is 85, and her health is now returning, although slowly, as one would expect in someone her age.
This past weekend, David and his brothers planned a small anniversary celebration for his parents. My husband is in the middle, older brother Steve on the right and younger brother Kevin on the left. They also have a sister Cathy who is in between David and Kevin. She lives out of state and has multiple health issues. Of course, we know she can't make it, but still miss her. Our close friends Larry and Sandi also joined us.
We had a great day, starting with church. We ate Little Dooey's bbq with all the fixins for lunch, then just enjoyed the time together. Above are all of us…me with David and Steve's wife Cindy with him. Kevin is single.
We had a wonderful dessert of cake I purchased at a local bakery. I actually have quite the story about the cake, but I will save it for another time.
Believe it or not, I am not out of major updates. I still have one more biggie that I will save for another post. Have a great day!

Oh I do love a good list, to do lists, shopping lists, wish lists so here's a book list I stumbled across whilst looking for inspiration.
There are so many of these lists out there with varying offers of what you should read before you're 30/50/die etc some with really interesting inspiring literature that I'd probably never read. So it's good to see a real variety of fiction in this list and not just the regurgitated classics that everyone expects to see.
This list was collated by the BBC Big Read in 2003 – so it does need some updating! What books would you like to see on this list? Or even removed? Maybe it should be limited to one entry per author!
Personally I don't think there needs to be 4 Harry Potter's but I'm sure some would say all 7 should be there and I would like to add The Book Thief by Markus Zusak and Burial Rites by Hannah Kent as a minimum.

A serious student of pre-Spanish Canary Island culture, Gordon Kennedy has been collecting historical information about the Guanches since 1975 and is recognized as one of the world's authorities on this Indo-European anomaly, with his Guanche archives amongst the largest on earth. He has personally explored the caves, beaches, museums and mountains of the islands and studied many Guanche mummies, tools, pottery and personal artifacts. Kennedy remains one of the few American authors to publish scientific research on this topic in the past 100 years, and his personal library contains some of the most extensive records of Guanche existence, having been mined and published by the scientific community for several decades. In this program, we discuss Gordon's book The White Indians of Nivaria: The Untold Story of the Last Stone-Age Indo-European Tribes. Gordon speaks about the travels of Thor Heyerdahl, which sparked his interest into looking at ancient civilization on Canary Island. Kennedy's book is an anthropological odyssey and true historical account of White natives living on seven African islands, for many thousands of years. It's a lost and forgotten chapter of Indo-European pre-history that describes a Western settlement on an Eden-like volcanic archipelago, inhabited by an indigenous population of Caucasians. This is a rare glimpse into a pre-Christian Western culture on a tropical island. In the second hour, we'll talk about what happened to ancient empires once massive amounts of guest workers immigrated into their lands, breaking up the host culture. The Guanche Indians also mummified their dead, constructed ceremonial pyramids and spoke a unique language. They were custodians of an ancient spiritual legacy from the ancestral memories of Indo-European evolution. This is a fascinating piece of covered up history seldom addressed.

ANCHORAGE, Alaska — A village not far from an erupting Alaska volcano urged residents to stay indoors after the mountain rained down ash, coating ground areas and turning some rooftops and car windows black.
The volcano kept pumping out new ash Tuesday that could threaten aircraft, but it came in smaller amounts at lower heights, according to the Alaska Volcano Observatory.
Pavlof Volcano, 625 miles southwest of Anchorage on the Alaska Peninsula, erupted Sunday. The initial eruption continued for about 17 hours and put out an ash cloud that reached 37,000 feet.
U.S. Geological Survey geologist Kristi Wallace said there were reports of a significant ash fall in Nelson Lagoon, a village of 39 people about 55 miles northeast of the volcano. Residents reported one-eighth to two-thirds of an inch of ash.
Cpl. Barrett Taylor, a village public safety officer in Nelson Lagoon, saw ash falling early Monday.
"It was raining ash for a little bit," Taylor said. "It turned everything black, the rooftops, the fuel tanks, homes."
The ash was worse Tuesday, he said, because wind coming in off the ocean was whipping it around.
Officials say ash can be hazardous to eyes, skin and breathing passages.
The community has put out a health advisory to stay inside until Wednesday. Taylor is hoping strong wind or rain will sweep some of the ash away.
"I actually saw an eagle land on the grass today, and as he landed, a big pile of ash came up and flew away," he said.
The plume blew northeast and by Tuesday had reached Canada, but Dave Schneider, a USGS geophysicist at the observatory, said activity had calmed from the continuous eruptive phase.
"Over the last six to eight hours the activity is more intermittent," he said Tuesday. "There are short duration, small explosive events that are occurring, as opposed to sort of a continuous plume."
The original ash cloud crossed Bristol Bay, spread into interior Alaska, and stretched into northern Canada, said Don Moore, meteorologist in charge of the National Weather Service Alaska Aviation Weather Unit.
"The extent of the plume is certainly greater but the concentration of the ash is becoming less," Moore said. "The plume is becoming thinner over time."
Volcanic ash is angular and sharp and can cause a jet engine to shut down. Alaska Airlines canceled 41 flights within the state Monday, and 28 more Tuesday.
Sherry Keever has lived in Healy, Alaska, for only a year and was trying to get home from a vacation in California when ash from the volcano prompted the cancellation of her flight.
"I'm kind of new, and I wasn't even aware there were volcanoes that could affect the flight patterns, and I'm OK with it," she said while sitting in a waiting area of Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport, waiting to see if she could get her flight to Fairbanks on Tuesday.
The volcano in the 8,261-foot mountain is one of Alaska's most active. It has had 40 known eruptions.
Pavlof eruptions in the past 20 years have not been as intense, but the current eruption is not unprecedented for the volcano, Schneider said.
The length of the eruption was a major factor in the size of the ash cloud, Schneider said. So were the winds and possibly the smaller size of the ash, which takes longer to fall out of the atmosphere.
Pat Walsh, a wildlife biologist for the Togiak National Wildlife Refuge, saw ash 25 miles west of Dillingham as a gray haze as he tracked wolves from the air in the refuge. He could also see traces of ash in fresh wolf tracks and in the snow.
Tisha Christensen, a health aide at the clinic in Port Heiden, said gray ash mixed with snow fell Monday night in the community on the Bering Sea side of the Alaska Peninsula. It affected her 8-year-old son, who has asthma but tried going to school Tuesday.
"He didn't even make it a half-hour and had to come home and have a nebulizer treatment," she said.
Only trace amounts of ash had been reported from Pavlof eruptions since 1996.
In the past, the volcano has erupted intermittently over months or shut off abruptly.

i was talking to my father recently and he asked me when i was going to finish my Ph.D. of course i finished it almost two years ago now; he came to my dissertation defense, cried when my committee announced me as "doctor," held me and congratulated me after. on my graduation day he sat in the auditorium and cheered my name, and at the after party, we danced together in the living room. all this, gone.
i have long been my father's daughter–i traveled with him to jordan and falasteen when I was two. when i'd wake scared at night, he'd comfort me, advise me to pray. when we moved to falasteen, i switched from the american school to the arabic one to make him proud. when i made high scores, he took me to buy a jean vest my mother refused. when he traveled back to the US periodically, leaving us in beit sahour, i wept loudly and profusely for days. the students in class would tease me about it–saying their fathers were gone all the time, and they weren't bothered by it. when he drove me to my first day of high school in the US, he advised me to "just say no" if someone offered me drugs, and because i believed him, believed in him, i really did. at weddings i would watch him mesmerized; he captivated the whole room. he'd lead call and response, duck and dance and laugh, and people would lose it. he was the life of every party, the loudest, kindest, best man i knew. he is many of these things now, too, but he is also not the same at all.
i tell people i got my Ph.D. for my dad. he was a teacher, too. he studied in cairo as a young man, came back to falasteen to teach science and math in beit lehem. he moved to the US on a student visa to Olivet Nazarene University in Illinois. he was a master's student for a while before the demands of living in the US with limited language and resources, and supporting my mother and two eldest sisters, undermined his scholarly trajectory. he stopped going to school, started working full time. we lived in illinois for some time; i was born in kankakee. we are still Cubs fans. i remember watching the world series in 1998, rooting for Sammy to take the home run record, devastated when they lost their wild card spot. this is a memory only possible because of my father.
so, i got my Ph.D. for my dad. his dream deferred. so ethnic of us, really, a classic immigrant story, where all the hopes and dreams are saddled onto your children. and i was a good kid: i never went out two nights in a row; i said no to drugs; i got good grades; i got out of the store circuit and hourly labor. i only fell from my father's favor when i was in my mid twenties, when i returned from an M.A. program at OSU and didn't resume living in my parent's house. he was furious with me, disappointed. it was a long two years before i started a Ph.D. program and he and my mother changed their tune. during this time, i couldn't do much of anything right. my father began harping on my spiritual life, worried that i was still unconfirmed as a catholic. he went to the E.R. for chest pain once. at his bedside he asked me if i was going to move home, and if i was going to get confirmed. he told me he'd ask me those same questions on his death bed, if necessary.
he doesn't remember this promise. he doesn't remember to tease me about one of my first published poems, a reflection on learning to drive with him. he doesn't remember the time i slammed a door in his face, and he laughed in mine. he doesn't remember all the verses to the samer or to 'al rosana. he doesn't remember the time he got so angry at me he called me names, and came to my room crying and apologizing minutes later. he doesn't remember the time he woke up at 3am to pry my friend april out of her frozen car in our driveway. he doesn't remember how i'd make supply runs with him to united before we switched to deliveries and a sam's membership at the store. he doesn't remember my name sometimes, can't match it with my face.
sometimes, after a few minutes delay, my father will put together my face and my name and my whole self. he will remember who i am and where i am. he will ask "mejdu, baba, will you come home?"
i remember he called me the last time he and my mother were in falasteen for a visit. my mother was out of the house, and he just wanted to chat. he could still navigate the ipad then, used it to facetime me. he smiled a lot during that conversation, though i don't remember what it was about. i remember thinking it was so strange–my mother has always been the contact parent. i remember feeling warmed and grateful he called me, thought to do it.
we live on piecemeal these days. moments of sterling recognition in the fog of forgetting. i am still my father's daughter. i am still crying when he leaves because i do not know where he goes, and now, i do not know if he will come back. i am still trying to make him proud. i go home whenever i can, while there is still a home in him to go to.

If You Feel This, You May Have Already Had COVID, Says Dr. Fauci
A few months after the COVID-19 pandemic hit the United States, health experts started to notice that while the majority of those infected with the virus made a full recovery, there were also a lot of people who were still suffering from mysterious symptoms months after their initial infection. This group of people has come to be known by the term "long haulers," and researchers are still struggling to understand why they can't recover—especially since some of them experienced little to no symptoms during their initial infection. If you are currently suffering from unusual symptoms, it could mean that you have already battled coronavirus without even knowing it. During a discussion sponsored by Columbia University, Dr. Anthony Fauci, the nation's leading infectious disease expert, outlined all the most common symptoms that long haulers experience. Read on to discover the long hauler symptoms outlined by Dr. Fauci, and to ensure your health and the health of others, don't miss these Sure Signs You've Already Had Coronavirus.
Severe Fatigue
"We have been investigating and learning more and more about an interesting post-COVID 19 syndrome of individuals who recover from clinically recognizable disease who go on to have variable periods from weeks to months and possibly longer of lingering symptoms," Fauci explained. Fatigue is one of the most common initial indicators of the virus. While most people get their energy back after recovering from their initial infection, it is one of the most common long hauler symptoms. According to Nature, one study found that 53% of 143 people with COVID-19 discharged from a hospital in Romer reported fatigue two months after experiencing their first symptom.
Shortness of Breath
The same study profiled in Nature found that 43% of the group was also still suffering from shortness of breath after two months. "We know that COVID-19 attacks the lungs, causing inflammation. This may leave survivors with persistent shortness of breath," Hackensack Meridian Health reported.
Many long haulers report a weakness or numbness in their muscles, along with body aches or muscle or joint pain.
According to the Mayo Clinic, dysautonomia is "a dysfunction of the nerves that regulate nonvoluntary body functions, such as heart rate, blood pressure, and sweating," per the Mayo Clinic.
Brain Fog
Fauci mentions that some people experience brain fog, "or an inability to concentrate or focus." In a previous interview he referred to the term as "a nonmedical way of describing a lack of ability to concentrate or to focus." Aluko Hope, a critical care specialist at Montefiore Hospital in New York City, revealed to Wired that many of his patients experienced memory problems, with approximately one-third forgetting details such as a telephone number, where their keys are, or the basic rules of traffic. If you experience any of these symptoms, be sure to contact your medical professional, and to avoid getting COVID-19, don't visit any of these 35 Places You're Most Likely to Catch COVID.

Participate through Zoom is this Thursday, October 29, at 3:00 p.m. Chile and 19 hrs. The Netherlands and Central Europe.
We want to reflect together with the Professor, National History Prize winner, Gabriel Salazar, on the historical antecedents that led to the plebiscite of October 25th, as an "institutional" solution to the social and political crisis, which has remained in evidence after the revolt of October 18th, 2019. And on the real options (or not) that are opened with its results, as a reflection of popular sovereignty, for the resolution of the problems of inequality, inequity, injustice and impunity (so urgent and rooted in our history). As well as, in the deep transformation of the State, towards one that guarantees respect for dignity, Human and social Rights, as well as the integral and autonomous development of people, peoples and communities.

In the 6 months since launch, our flagship premium WordPress theme Stack for WordPress has reached yet another milestone – over 100 rating over on ThemeForest giving Stack a perfect average of 5 stars from an ever growing army of satisfied users.
Why Do Customers Love Stack?
This is an important question, as understanding why this theme in particular, from our expansive body or work, has resonated so well with the WordPress community will help us grow (and more fundamentally survive) in an very tough market with no shortage of competition.
I feel the first attraction to Stack is is most unique feature – the awesome Variant page builder. Variant is originally a powerful static page generator built by our design partner's MediumRare, and in its original for it offered the most beautiful, simple to use interface for smashing out the highest quality HTML pages based on whichever design/template you purchased.
We knew as soon as we started developing Stack that we needed something unique, so we began to see if it was possible to port the magnificent UI Variant offers and make it available for WordPress users to enjoy. It wasnt long before we got things up and running, and Variant for WordPress was born.
Variant is a totally different kind of building experience for WordPress, and it clear from user feedback that a huge number of WP users were hungry for an alternative to the usual Visual Composer powered themes so common these days and Variant satisfies this craving and more.
We didnt stop there however, as we knew there are also many folks looking for something familiar with with more granular control, so Stack is also bundled with Visual Composer making it THE most flexible platform for crafting WP sites around.
5 Star Support = 5 Star Reviews
The next aspect I feel has contributed to Stack's solid reviews is the support we offer. I know this is not specific to Stack but its something worth mention as its very simple to proclaim to offer outstanding support, but its another thing entirely to deliver it. To put it bluntly, we do. Its as simple as that. Dont take my word for it however, there is just a few examples of the feedback we recieve.
Support is something I personally take great pride in, and is a core focus here at TommusRhodus. Stack is not only a quality theme to begin with, we have your back should you run into any troubles. If you have been left in the lurch by another developer or yet another abandoned theme, you need to Stack stack for yourself and let us delight you every step of the way.
Documented, Fully.
Its not uncommon for many theme vendors to be a little lazy when documenting a premium WordPress theme, after all everyone knows this stuff right? Wrong, and we never make that assumption. Stack's extensive written documentation is fully available online so you can browse it fully prior to purchase. Furthermore, we expand on our documentation with hours of video guides detailing the more intricate parts of our theme and much more over on our YouTube channel. With Stack, the info is there where and when you need it.
Where to from Here?
We are looking for any feedback or suggestions for features you would like to see added to Stack for an upcoming major update, so if you want to help shape the future of Stack share your thoughts with us. We have recently also released an all new modal plugin which allows all Stack users to make use of the themes aweome modals in a variety of ways too, giving Stack even more bang for your buck.

Refreshed brand identity for an All-Party Parliamentary Group representing the interests of writers
A new and streamlined brand identity
All Party Writers Group (APWG) was established in November 2007, its aims to represent the interests of all writers, to safeguard their intellectual property rights, and to ensure they receive a fair level of recognition and reward for their contribution to the economy and society as a whole. All party groups allow MPs and Lords from all sides of the political spectrum to keep both government and opposition parties informed on specific policy issues, considering opinions from both in and outside Parliament.
The APWG has tackled many issues since it was established, and continues to support, campaign and ensure that the writer's voice is always heard.
Post-consultation, it was evident the new identity and flexible brand styling carried a non-negotiable challenge: developing a scheme that successfully worked alongside the Government's recognised portcullis logomark.
Tackling issues by clear communications
We wanted to provide a strong yet simplified visual language to coherently support and promote the organisation's activities. The APWG is known to articulate and evidence issue and recommendations super succinctly, it seemed natural to follow an exploratory route of developing a speech box device. This organically resulted in providing a contextual bridge from action to visual. We then extended this by creating a series of supporting assets for use across a multitude of visual applications.
Further development and application across print and digital has seen the styling bloom and adapt.
Back to work
