As Minister for Education, Culture, Youth Affairs, Fisheries and Agriculture it gives me great pleasure today to applaud UNESCO's efforts in guiding the Education 2030 Agenda and the sustainable development goals. In particular Sustainable Development Goal 4 (SDG4) today where we have been charged along with the rest of the World to "ensure that all learners are provided with the knowledge and skills to promote sustainable development, sustainable lifestyles, human rights, gender equality, promotion of a culture of peace and non-violence, global citizenship and appreciation of cultural diversity and of culture's contribution to sustainable development."
We know that Global Citizenship Education encompasses learning on the cognitive, socio-emotional and behavioural levels and while we are extremely excited about our learners reaching their educational goals through these avenues, we are elated by the work that has already been done by our educators to ensure that the Sustainable Development Goal 4 is achieved. As a past educator I am aware of the challenges that trainers face in energizing some
students to achieve but am also cognizant of their capabilities and of how rewarding it is when they achieve at the highest levels.
Some of our Milestones in education that prove that we are committed to growth, development and building a stronger educational system are that we continue our professional days for teaching staff where time is given to professional instruction for teachers. While we have good reading skills across the Territory, our quest is to implement programs to ensure that it reaches an exceptional level.
We held a successful Reading Is Fun Week a few weeks ago where reading was encouraged and cemented our quest of building reading skills for our students. Reading throughout the year will continue to be a priority. We are now teaching our students French and this is a move in the right direction, especially with the expansion of the tourism industry. We rave at that fact that our students in Grade 12 have completed six or more Caribbean Secondary Education Certificate (CSEC) exams, inclusive of Math and English and those full-time students who are eligible to study Caribbean Advanced Proficiency Examination (CAPE) subjects as an equivalent college course.
We experienced many challenges after Hurricanes Irma and Maria where many of our students were displaced and were not functioning in a full eight hour day of school. We have now remedied that situation and are building on just being greater than we were before. We are remedying the rebuilding of schools one school at a time as was seen with the recent completion of Elmore Stoutt High School L shaped building. We have also continued to move into some of our other schools which were damaged and are now better than before.
I have mentioned just a few of these milestones because they are all critical in advancing Global Citizenship Education in this Territory and addressing the Sustainable Development Goal 4. I will close in saying that Sustainable Development Goal 4 is not just about eensuring inclusive and equitable quality education. It is not just about promoting lifelong learning opportunities for our students and; it is not just about the role of business as it relates to education. For the BVI Sustainable Development Goal 4 is fundamentally important for the achievement of sustainable development in the future of these Islands and our people.
I'd like to take this opportunity to thank UNESCO and our facilitators from overseas, Ms. Latoya Swaby Anderson and Ms. Romina Kasman for sharing and also to congratulate the BVI National Commission for UNESCO Secretary General, Dr. Allison Flax-Archer for the work that she continues to do at the BVI Secretariat. After this workshop, we hope to be better equipped to address initiatives that can be utilized in advancing the goals and strategies that will propel the Sustainable Development Goal 4.
Thank you!

Local resident and business owner, David Hurst is raising money for Leukaemia and Lymphoma research in memory of his mother-in-law who passed away at the end of last year. Leaving Leeds on Friday morning with team mates Mo & Helen Ellis-Jones and Nigel Hoff (headmaster of Ley Hill School), they are set for 3 days following the line of the M1, returning to The Crown public house in Ley Hill on Sunday evening.
David says:
"We leave the home of Leeds Rhinos (Headingley Stadium) at 8-8.30am this Friday and cover 212 miles in total. None of us have ever cycled that number of miles before in 1 day, so doing it on 3 consecutive days will be a challenge indeed. Arrive at the Crown Ley Hill around 6-7pm on Sunday evening, after which there will be a charity pub quiz to help the 2 causes: Headway (Leeds) and Leukaemia/Lymphoma Research.
Our team logistics partner (Helen) broke her scaphoid 10 days ago but undeterred is now taking kit from each of the 3 start/stop points on trains, buses and taxis and with 2 small boys in tow!! That's Leeds to Mansfield Woodhouse, MW to Rugby, then Rugby to Ley Hill – a feat in itself!!"
If you'd like to donate to this worthy cause and spur the team on, you can read more on David's fundraising page at http://www.justgiving.com/bettybissell

I've been thinking a lot about the material world in the last few months, in an odd combination of places. On a brief visit to Amsterdam, then at the current Merovingian exhibition at the Musée de Cluny in Paris, and finally at Snozone Milton Keynes. (I should add that these thoughts came while watching others ski, not attempting to ski myself). And the theme I keep coming back to is my own troubled relationship to materiality and also that of the cultures I live in and study.
[Skiers at the Snozone]
What first sparked these thoughts was watching one of the curators at the Rembrandt House Museum in Amsterdam demonstrate printing from an etching plate. It's a form of printing that's fascinating partly because of its materiality: the different effects you can make depending on how you scratch a line onto a metal plate, the limited number of copies you can make from each plate, the mucky business of getting ink onto a plate and then wiping most of it off again. And Rembrandt's paintings as well are vivid demonstrations of the materiality of pictures, the sheer hard work of getting pigments and oils mixed up and onto a piece of canvas to create the illusion of reality.
I started wondering why I as a historian don't make more of material culture in my own work. But I realised one of my reasons visiting a different museum on the same day: the Dutch Resistance Museum. Towards the end of the displays is the story of the "hunger winter" of 1944-1945, when thousands died of starvation. Thinking about the material experience of a particular time and place, can often be profoundly depressing. Particularly for the early Middle Ages, any broad consideration of the material world can't easily get away from misery: cold, hunger, mud, the materiality of bodily disease and premature death.
But I also realised that there was a more personal aspect to my attitudes: much of my life, especially my early life, has been about an escape from the material towards the intellectual. (I'm conscious of the Cartesian dualism here, but it was what I experienced). Partly this was due to being brought up in an evangelical Christian tradition that was suspicious of material desires. But it was also connected to the unsatisfactory nature of the material world around me as a child.
I certainly don't want to claim that I was materially deprived: I never went hungry or lacked clothes. But my choice of entertainments and places to go to was certainly limited and even in Sussex it wasn't fun living in a house without central heating. All this was combined with my own unsatisfactory physical presence: overweight, short-sighted, clumsy. I took refuge in books and my imagination, a world that was fundamentally immaterial, in which I could wander as a free, pure spirit.
It's perhaps not a surprise that when I eventually ended up as a historian, it was to study moral texts written by intellectuals, even if they were ones concerned with the very material worlds of Frankish noblemen. My instinctive sympathies are with the men (and occasional woman) saying that there is more to life than the purely material. I don't focus on Carolingian material culture because at some level it discomforts me.
But what of early medieval people themselves? How easy did they find it to turn away from the material? A visit to the Merovingian exhibition at the Cluny Museum was a reminder that there was more to their material world than mud and hunger. How easy would it have been for the elites to give up some of the splendour on show there?
[Jewellery from sixth-century sarcophagus in St-Denis, possibly belonging to Queen Aregund, on display at Cluny Museum]
I've recently been working again on Paulinus of Aquileia's Liber exhortationis, a late eighth-century mirror for a layman that's obsessed with the dangers of the material world. Looking at it again, what's noticeable is that Paulinus doesn't expect the recipient of his moral tract (probably Eric of Friuli) to give up the symbols of worldly life: rich food and drink, gold, fancy garments, horses etc: Eric just mustn't delight in them.
I think that helps us get at one of the interesting aspects of early medieval material culture: the extent to which "renouncing the world" didn't actually change your culture that much. What would Aregund (or whoever was in the sarcophagus whose treasures are on display in the exhibition) have had to give up if she'd entered the religious life, rather than died as a queen?
One obvious change would have been a loss of bodily comfort. At least in theory, in a convent she'd have eaten a less luxurious diet, eaten plainer food and worn less costly (and probably less comfortable clothes). Aregund would also have had to undergo the rigors of her sleep being interrupted by regular services. She might also have lost access to some secular entertainments, although Charlemagne's complaint about nuns writing "songs" (winileodos) suggests that not all secular pleasures were as strictly barred as he might have liked.
But a noblewoman who became a nun wouldn't have lost access to much of the fanciest of Merovingian material culture. Churches and monasteries were full of golden objects, elaborate architecture and rich fabrics, as well as the glory of early medieval manuscripts. The only change is that such material was no longer owned personally, but corporately.
And it's that aspect, I think that brings us to the heart of early medieval material culture. Aregund may have had physical enjoyment from wearing a bright silk tunic rather than one of coarse black material, but I find it difficult to believe that objects like her belt fittings would actually have been pleasurable to wear. They'd be heavy and you couldn't easily admire them while you were actually wearing them (unlike a brooch). What they provided instead was status: that you could afford such ornaments while others couldn't. In the same way, a sword hilt fitted with gold, silver and precious stones isn't any more useful in battle than a plain steel one. What matters is where it places you in the hierarchy.
[Tunic of Queen Balthild, on display at Cluny Museum]
Thinking of that makes me see the famous tunic of Queen Balthild (also on display at the Paris exhibition) in a new light. How much loss of material comfort was there in swapping her royal robes and jewels for a linen tunic with silk embroidery? And how much asceticism did it take to wear a garment which continued to show her superior position in the social hierarchy?
If Merovingian material culture is substantially about the maintenance of social status, I was very conscious of a different culture of materiality at Xscape Milton Keynes (where the Snozone is based). This is a shopping and entertainment complex strongly focused on popular culture: sports activities, a cinema, a casino and a considerable number of chain restaurants, from McDonalds and Subway up to fancier brands like the Revolution vodka bar.
What I saw there was modern material culture at its most insistently alluring: loud and gaudy and mouth-watering. In a day at the centre, any commoner could clothe themselves more comfortably (and possibly even more brightly) than Queen Aregund could ever manage, as well as eating better quality and more varied food and taking part in entertainments that she could barely dream of. (Did I mention that they also have indoor skydiving at the complex)?
But though such material treats may seem far more accessible than Merovingian gold necklaces, Xscape isn't a cheap place to go. You can easily spend 300 pounds on a basic snowboard and even cinema tickets or a meal out would quickly eat through a minimum wage. In theory, this lavish material culture is far more accessible to those at the bottom of society than before (there are no sumptuary laws today), but I'm not sure whether this is really the case.
Modern materialism strikes me as far more seductive and harder to ignore or give up than that of the early Middle Ages (or even when I was growing up in the 1960s and 1970s). There is just so much more stuff available to be desired. And that raises a problem for anyone who wants people to look beyond the material, whether this is religious believers or those encouraging a purely secular good life. It's one thing to tell the rich not to care about their possessions and to encourage their charity/helping of others. But what about those who aren't rich (at least in terms of their own society)?
The eleventh century tale of Unibos (One-Ox) described a peasant who by luck gains a potful of gold: the possibility of such wealth hovers at the limits of the impossible. But the goods on offer at Xscape aren't the things that you could only afford if you won the lottery. They're tantalisingly just out of reach for those at the bottom of UK society, just in reach (with a struggle or a credit card) for the just-about-managing. Even ignoring the use of material goods as status markers, how realistic is it to tell people who can almost attain such things not to want them? How easy is it for poorer people not to want them? Material culture for the lower classes may no longer normally be a space for the kind of misery visible in the premodern world (or even in wartime Holland). But does the very accessibility of stuff today bring its own peculiar torments? It's for those reasons that I'm not sure that I'd really enjoy studying modern material culture anymore than I do the medieval material world.

Your points are good ones. A runner who uses very short rests between quick 200s goes anaerobic quickly and doesn't optimize training effect if the goal is aerobic power. I suspect that Seb Coe was not all in the anaerobic danger zone running 20 or 30 x 200 in 28 seconds, in the first place, because his 200m speed was near 21 seconds. That is roughly 75% speed, which is not overly taxing.
I think Joe Rubio includes some quicker running on a regular basis all-year long but he doesn't make his runners go anaerobic until it is time do so, no more than Arthur Lydiard did so. It is smart and many great runners have proved so that speed of some sort done every week or nearly every week of the year can be effective as long as one doesn't dip into anaerobic reserves too often or for too long, until it is the right time of the year to hone the lactate tolerance. It is the recovery between reps that can influence if one comes to a peak too soon or if one levels off an maintains until the right moment, just as the speed of the reps is important as to how fast one comes to a peak.

Putting On A Fake Smile, When You Are Slowly Dying Inside
So, to all my friends, family, and coworkers, I am a happy, outgoing, wonderful person. This is the person they see on the outside. On the inside, I am completely the opposite.
Everyone looks at me thinking I have everything held together, when in reality I don't. I have no idea what I want to do for the rest of my life. I am going to be 20 in July, and I am going to be getting married in 3 years. I want to get married, I love the man I am with, but everything aside from that scares the crap out of me.
For most of my life, if not all, I have done what everyone has wanted me to do. For once in my life I am making my own decisions and I don't know if I am making the right ones or not. I am currently in school to become a respiratory therapist. I have no idea if I will like this. I did it because I love working and taking care of people. I love helping people when they are at their weakest and letting them trust me to help them in any way I can. I can't be a nursing assistant forever, but I don't know if respiratory therapy is for me.
I want to start a family, sooner than later. I don't know if this is the right choice. I don't know if I will even be able to handle parenthood. I love children. They are amazing. I have seen them at their best and worst. It terrifies me that I can prepare all I want, but nothing will ever be enough.
What I have learned from this though. Is that, the reason that I am terrified about making my own decisions is because everyone always made them for me. Everyone always shoved what they wanted me to do down my throat and I just went along with it. I never told people what I wanted, I told them what they wanted me to say I wanted.
Making decisions for myself is a hard adjustment, but it is what I need to do to become more independent. That is what everyone needs to remember. Just because people want you to say something, or become something, doesn't mean that you have to follow it. Learn to be your own person.
What people need to remember is that you need to follow your dreams. You need to do everything you can to keep yourself happy. If you aren't happy, then how are you going to do anything efficiently. You aren't. Take other people's suggestions, and think about them, but don't jump into them because everyone wants you to. It in the end will destroy you, and you will hate the person you become.
I am finally doing things for myself, and yes it is scary and terrifying, but I am doing it for me, so it has a rush to it. I don't know what is going to happen or when it is going to happen. What I do know, is that I won't resent myself for not trying the things I wanted to do in life because I am going to do everything and anything I can that I want. Everyone should have this thought because you don't know how long you have here, and at any moment everything could be taken away.
No one has life "figured out" at age 20 so cut yourself some slack!
In fact the teenage years and our 20s are about figuring out who (we) are, what we want/need, learning from mistakes, and evolving.
Oftentimes during youth we have "unrealistic expectations" or we believe everything will happen in a linear progression just like we "planned it".
Recently I saw a quote which read:
"Life is all about how you handle plan B." Rarely does plan A work out.
I'm not sure why anyone in this day and age would be in a hurry to get married and start having a family. Youth is best spent on self-discovery, getting an education, establishing a career, traveling, dating for fun..etc
According to statistics in the U.S. the average age of a first time bride is 27 and for men it's 29. Getting married by 23 harkens back to the 1950s.
One thing is for certain if you don't have your financial house in order having children will be extremely stressful.
Out of all the mistakes one can make bringing a child into the world of an unprepared person is the worst. One old adage goes:
"People who fail to plan...plan to fail."
Ideally one would want to establish a career, get married, and (buy) a home before deciding to get pregnant. It also helps to know how daycare will be handled, doctors visits/health insurance, and other necessities.
Sadly too many people choose to "struggle" by flying by the seat of their pants and subscribing to the belief of "Somehow it will all work out..." Thus you have families living in apartments, staying with parents, or struggling to feed, clothe, and pay medical expenses for children in addition to daycare. If one were to do some research in their area to find out how much these things cost monthly they'd have a better idea of knowing if they are "ready" or not.

RADIUSD(8) Cistron Radius Daemon RADIUSD(8) NAME radiusd -- Authentication, Authorization and Accounting server SYNOPSIS radiusd [-A auth_detail_filename] [-C] [-D] [-F detail_filename] [-P pid_filename] [-S] [-Z] [-a accounting_directory] [-b] [-c] [-d con- fig_directory] [-f] [-g syslog_facility] [-i ip-address] [-l log_direc- tory] [-p port] [-s] [-W radwtmp_filename] [-u radutmp_filename] [-v] [-w] [-x] [-y] [-z] DESCRIPTION This is the Cistron implementation of the well known radius server pro- gram. It was originally based on Livingston's radius version 1.16. Even though this program is largely compatible with Livingston's radius version 2.0, it's not based on any part of that code. In fact no code from the 1.16 version is left either. RADIUS is a protocol spoken between an access server, typically a de- vice connected to several modems or ISDN lines, and a radius server. When a user connects to the access server, (s)he is asked for a login- name and a password. This information is then sent to the radius server. The server replies with "access denied", or "access OK". In the latter case login information is sent along, such as the IP address in the case of a PPP connection. The access server also sends login and logout records to the radius server so accounting can be done. These records are kept for each ter- minal server seperately in a file called detail, and in the wtmp com- patible logfile /var/log/radwtmp. OPTIONS -A auth_detail_filename Write a file auth_detail in addition to the standard detail file in the same directory. This file will contain all the authenti- cation-request records. This can be useful for debugging, but not for normal operation. Takes the same syntax as the -F op- tion. For example, use -A %N/detail.auth. -C Just check the syntax of the config files, print a diagnostic message, and exit. If the config files are not OK the exit value will be non-zero. -F detail_filename Radiusd writes the all accounting records it receives to a file called NAS/detail in the accounting directory. This option changes the name of that file. You can include a macro, %N, that expands to (in order) the name of the remote proxy, the name of the NAS, or the IP address of the server that the record was re- ceived from. The default is %N/detail. Subdirectories of max. 1 level deep will be created on the fly if necessary. If you specify this option multiple times, the first invocation will override the default detail-file filename, and additional invocations will make the server write to multiple detail files simultaneously. -P pid_filename At startup, radiusd writes its process-id to a file. By default that is /var/run/radiusd.pid, this option overrides that. -S Write the stripped usernames (without prefix or suffix) in the detail file instead of the raw record as received from the ter- minal server. -a accounting directory The (base) directory used for the radius accounting detail files. If this directory doesn't exist, the server will not create any accounting detail files. The default is /var/log/radacct. -g syslog_facility Available if the server was compiled with syslog support. This will make radiusd log informational and authentication messages to the syslog service with the specified facility in addition to the standard radius.log file. -l logging directory This defaults to /var/log. Radiusd writes a logfile here called radius.log. It contains informational and error messages, and optionally a record of every login attempt (for aiding an ISP's helpdesk). The special arguments stdout and stderr cause the in- formation to get written to standard output resp. standard error instead, and the special argument none turns off logging to ra- dius.log. For compatibility with FreeRadius, syslog is an alias for none. -d config directory Defaults to /etc/raddb. Radiusd looks here for its configuration files such as the dictionary and the users files. -i ip-address Defines which IP address to bind to for sending and receiving packets- useful for hosts with more than one IP address. -b If the radius server binary was compiled with dbm support, this flag tells it to actually use the database files instead of the flat users file. -c This is still an experimental feature. Cache the password, group and shadow files in a hash-table in memory. This makes the radius process use a bit more memory, but username lookups in the password file are much faster. After every change in the real password file (user added, pass- word changed) you need to send a SIGHUP to the radius server to let it re-read its configuration and the password/group/shadow files ! -D Do not use DNS. Actually this means that DNS isn't used to re- solve IP addresses to hostnames whenever there is something to be logged. If you really don't want to use DNS at all, you should use dotted-quad notation for all hostnames/addresses any- where in the configuration files as well. -f Do not fork, stay running as a foreground process. -p port Normally radiusd listens on the ports specified in /etc/services (radius and radacct). With this option radiusd listens on the specified port for authentication requests and on the specified port +1 for accounting requests. -s Normally, the server forks a seperate process for accounting, and a seperate process for every authentication request. With this flag the server will not do that - it will process all au- thentication and accounting requests synchonously in one process. -v Shows version and compilation flags, then exits. -W radwtmp_filename The path to the wtmp-style accounting file maintained by the server. Defaults to (on most systems) /var/log/radwtmp. If set to none, the server will not log wtmp-style accounting at all (same as -w). -u radutmp_filename The path to the radutmp file, which is the session-database aka list of logged in users. Defaults to (on most systems) /var/log/radutmp. If set to none, the server will not maintain a session-database (and radwho and simultaneous-use restrictions will not work). -w Do not write the radwtmp file. -x Debug mode. In this mode the server will print details of every request on it's stderr output. Most useful in combination with -s. You can specify this option 2 times (-x -x or -xx) to get a bit more debugging output. -y Write details about every authentication request in the ra- dius.log file. If the password was incorrect, the password is logged too. -z If the -y option is on, log the password in the radius.log file even for successful logins. This is very insecure!. -Z Never log any password in the radius.log file, correct or incor- rect. CONFIGURATION Radiusd uses 6 configuration files. Each file has it's own manpage de- scribing the format of the file. These files are: dictionary This file is usually static. It defines all the possible RADIUS attributes used in the other configuration files. You don't have to modify it. clients Contains the IP address and a secret key for every client that wants to connect to the server. naslist Contains an entry for every NAS (Network Access Server) in the network. This is not the same as a client, especially if you have radius proxy server in your network. In that case, the proxy server is the client and it sends requests for different NASes. It also contains a abbreviated name for each terminal server, used to create the directory name where the detail file is writ- ten, and used for the /var/log/radwtmp file. Finally it also de- fines what type of NAS (Cisco, Livingston, Portslave) the NAS is. hints Defines certain hints to the radius server based on the users's loginname or other attributes sent by the access server.

OKLAHOMA CITY - A heartbreaking situation for a nursing home resident turned into a criminal investigation. A nurse's aide is charged with felony neglect by a caretaker.
Kendra Leann Scott worked at the Warr Acres Nursing Center near N.W. 63rd and MacArthur.
There's now a warrant out for Scott's arrest.
The Attorney General's office started looking into the allegations against Scott earlier this year after another nurse's aide found a victim soaked in urine and soiled in her own bed.
Court documents show Scott was solely responsible for the victim's care when the alleged neglect happened.
Prosecutors say Scott exposed the victim to "potential infection from prolonged exposure to feces and urine."
Advocates for nursing home residents say this kind of thing happens all too often.
"It`s not right to leave a resident in their feces and urine for a shift. No way, no how is that right. It`s not right," said Wes Bledsoe, who has been an advocate for nursing home residents for more than a decade. "That is neglect, absolutely, but what caused that neglect?"
"From what's in that complaint, the nurse aide is the scapegoat in this situation," Bledsoe said.
He argues the nursing home owners should be held accountable, especially if the facility was understaffed, like many in Oklahoma.
"Many times, they're assigned a hall by themselves," Bledsoe said. "Somebody doesn't show up, and now they're not only working their hall, they're working somebody else's hall."
Under state law, during the shift time this alleged crime happened, there has to be one direct-care employee for every seven residents.
Warr Acres Nursing Center refused to answer questions about their numbers. They only said they're still doing their own investigation.
If convicted, Scott faces up to 10 years in prison and a $10,000 fine.

Evo X 2008 SST TCU versions
After resisting the temptation to fiddle with the SST TCU since the box was rebuilt at IGT a while ago I decided that it was worth doing another teach in on the box as I needed to help a fellow club member with a reteach and I'd prefer to refresh my memory on my own car first rather than break theirs (you'll be fine Davie honest) :lol:
Like most UK SSTs it's a 2008 box so is the 8631A749 TCU hardware version with the 8631A3790C by default so I did the usual upgrade to the 2009 SST firmware (8631A8270B) to enable the teach in and then ran through the process. I noticed however the July 2016 Mitsubishi TSB states that the 2008 boxes should then be flashed back to 8631A3790E (8631B413.cff) instead of the original 8631A3790C (8631A749.cff) that I've used previously. Does anyone actually know what the differences are between the C and E versions of the firmware actually are?
All I can say is that after performing the teach in and reverting to the E firmware the shifting is great, however I can't tell what is down to the different firmware or the teach-in itself or the box being up to temp for a change (I haven't tested the cold shifting performance yet as I need to leave it overnight to cool down).
Between the three versions I would honestly have to say I could not pick out a single significant difference in the way the car drove or performed. Perhaps there was just one occasion when I felt that with the latest version the gearshifts in Normal and light throttle acceleration were programmed at a few hundred rpm higher, but I never properly checked that out by comparing before and after logging.
But what I can say with great confidence is that the period up until selling the car a few months ago was that on the tech-in version the gearbox operation was as close to perfect as I think is possible with an SST. Even the very first gearshift of a cold morning was super smooth (in Normal)!
The only caveat to add here is that the clutch plates were of the first Dodson upgrade variety and it also had a heated sump.
And a note of caution that I've sounded before - if the mapper has made any changes to the SST tables in the main ecu then the comparison of performance between SST firmware versions may well be different/accentuated!
I think I've managed to answer my own question digging through the TSB's and it seems that the difference between the C and E versions of the 8631A379 firmware is that it stops the 5th gear cold start test that sometimes causes the box to crunch on startup for some people so there probably aren't any other differences.
As for the debate about whether there are any differences between the 2008, 2009-2010 and 2011+ firmwares it seems fairly clear to me that there are differences in the hardware in the box and the mechatronic unit which require subtle differences in the firmware - otherwise why would Mitsu/Getrag insist that you revert to to specific versions. I must admit I tried all three firmwares on the box before I had the box rebuilt and didn't notice much difference (aside from some weird clicking noises in the 2011+ firmware), however this time I certainly noticed a difference in the shifts between 2008 and 2009/2010 firmwares. It's worth noting that I always use manual shifts in Sport mode, which I think probably adds a number of additional complications for smooth changes as I likely don't always switch at the optimal points and normal is designed to soften the shift anyway (note: my car is also running the stock 330 EcuTek map so that doesn't come into it).
I do think the heated sump is probably the best update you can do for the SST (despite me not having one) as its best operation in dependent on keeping within a specific temperature window and from experience the worse the SST is working in general the more that impact can be felt. I've had it overheat in traffic since the rebuild and it can become quite grabby at low rolling speeds so it's not just cold that it doesn't like.
Fortunately the car continued to change gear great this morning on the short drive to work despite the cold start so it's currently working the best it has ever worked, although the caveat being it was 8C outside rather than the -4C we've seen recently.
What's a 5th gear cold start?
I don't know why Mitsi/Getrag insist (or it is simply a recommendation to main dealers). I didn't hear any odd clicking noises with any version I've used.
I think more SST owners in general should give Normal mode more of a chance.
Mitsu/Getrag will be very cost conscious so if they are explicitly asking for people to upgrade to the 2009 firmware to do the teach-in and then back to 2008 afterwards then you can be sure that there is a reason for it rather than just to waste everyone's time (and indeed Mitsu's own money if the work is being done under warranty). It's pretty clear that there are three different hardware revisions of the SST/mechatronic unit so it makes sense that they should have different firmwares to accommodate the differences.
The "5th gear cold start test" is a diagnostic test that the SST performs when the car is started from cold where it briefly engages 5th gear slightly causing the car to step forward against the handbrake/parking brake. Apart from the forward movement it results in various noises (clunks/thuds) and for some people occasionally a gearbox crunch so Mitsu/Getrag seemingly removed the test as people were bringing cars to dealerships saying the gearbox was dying.
It's not so much the gearbox response in normal mode that I have an issue with it's the throttle response on the accelerator pedal in that mode that makes it so poor. Normal is more like a standard automatic set up where you have to push the pedal much further whereas I prefer sport mode as the pedal is more sensitive like a manual car.
As my previous experience, as I have only ever driven in S-sport paddles, when I first went to try normal, the gearchange felt lazy, just not nice, something i'd always put down to the box being due a re-con
But I stuck with it for a while, just normal gentle road driving, in auto. As time went by, the change started to become noticeably more positive, as expected
It is how I drive daily now, switch to sport if im going to push harder
I remember reading the clutch is constantly learning, so went with the theory as i'd not used normal for 2 years, its fair to assume it may need to learn with the lower clamping forces associated with normal. So far that seems to ring true, from the feel on the road
Interesting that you think the changes in Normal have improved with time, although I was always pretty clear that there wasn't any kind of on-going learn function associated with the SST.
As the car has been remapped, I dont boot it in normal, running higher power, Id expect it more likely to slip, but using normal daily has made a marked improvement in normal over time
Ultimately the pressure to keep the clutch plates engaged saps power from the engine so from a performance/efficiency perspective the goal is provide just enough pressure to keep the clutch engaged and no more. This is why when the seals start leaking the SST starts playing up (slip, rev flare etc) as the various coefficients (clutch wear, temperature, torque etc) it uses to calculate the required pressure give a result for the expected conditions and can't accommodate the pressure leaking out.
Hi guys
So let me help you out a bit as I've been doing some work with the sst gearbox in the past weeks.
A bit of a background info first of all.
Car is stage 1, custom tune for engine as well as some tuning on the sst pressures. All done to our local tuner who has deep knowledge on evos.
Car has roughly around 60K km and at around 30K it did its first sst oil change.
A few weeks ago I did another oil change with castrol transmax dual.
I also asked to perform teach in.
Sadly with the firmware I had it was not possible so the service center had to reprogram the tcu to the 2009 version 8631A8270B.
So they did:
Immediately I noticed a few differences.
First all, mechanical start up noises stopped once car was starting up (not torque damper clicking, this is not a bug but a feature :) )
On a different thread I posted a recent update on my car which I fitted the racecapture track unit. So I'm able to monitor rax patch data.
On racecapture I noticed a small increase in clutch pressure from 10 to 11 bar.
After we installed the custom sst map at super sport with custom map selected on clutch pressures I saw 12 bar, but still far from the 14 bar which should work.
So what we did (BTW my car is a 2010 evo x sst, 2009 built) was that we flashed the tcu to the latest firmware.
Please have a look at the firmware list.
We followed the manual (need to place update files in specific locations and edit an xml file) then started the tcu upgrade process to 2012 version
Finally all was successful!
Why it was critical to update? Because the guys here have seen increased pressure with this firmware so it was important to see if this would solve the low pressure situation. Low clutch pressure creates clutch slip.
After that we did the extensive teach in (long procedure, the one that you go through all the stages, switch off wait 10 seconds then go through 4 more steps again. Don't remember exaxclty the sequence but I can check it).
And then went out to try it.
Put the car in super sport and immediately I noticed a huge improvement in clutch bite and it was even more noticeable when shifted to 2nd even at low rpm as you felt no slippage and a slight kick.
And then found a nice straight and floored it. So our faces smiled when we saw 14,3 bar pressure and felt the kick instantly!
I suggest you try it as well and advise any updates.
In Greece we have two very powerful SSTs (one 750 the other 850hp) so our tuner is very experienced.
Hope this helps!
Oh and something I forgot. It is critical for securing solid sst performance to change oil every 30k km and perform teach in every 6 months.
Sent from my H9436 using Tapatalk
Provided that the ECU SST torque tables are correct then you shouldn't see slip with the correct version of the SST firmware as it should calculate the required pressure based on the torque demand from the ECU. Certainly if your box is slipping with stage 1 power you've probably got other issues with the SST unit itself or the map in the ECU.
If you weren't able to do the teach-in chances are you have a 2008 SST unit as I believe all the 2009 firmwares allow teach-in by default.
Mitsu patched the cold start out of all firmwares in 2014 (or earlier) as per my earlier post so provided you have the latest version of each of them then you won't get the mechanical start up noise on any of them (see the TSB here). You were only getting them as your car was still on the original firmware for the 2008 SST unit rather than the updated 2008 version they have available now.
The increased pressure you are seeing is an example of what I mentioned earlier in the thread (i.e. the 2011+ SST has a different physical design than the 2008 unit) and it's not necessarily a good thing. For example if the pressure is consistently higher then it may cause clutch dragging, side effects with the mechatronic operation or simply rob the engine of power for no benefit.

I am thankful that . . .
- I didn't take a shower, but I was OK with that. I don't think anyone could tell. It helped that I got dressed by 9 AM!
- My mom surprised me yesterday and asked me if I needed help for today. An amazing answer to prayer is what her little email was to me. And help she did! Thanks, Mom!
- Mr. Me-Too and I went on a little date to our Herbalist, Mary-Beth. We then enjoyed filling our shoe-boxes for Operation Christmas Child.
- The boys loved their new animal herbal eye pillows from coop, and went to bed right away!
- I didn't feel sleepy today even though I was up with Mr. Smiley about 4 times last night. (Sorry for my late night sighing and stomping last night, Hottie Hubby.)
- I am thankful that a few people do read my blog. Though I would like an "award" or even be nominated . . . it doesn't matter. Right? Right. That isn't why I began blogging. I did it for the money. Not! Just kidding around with you.
- My husband makes me laugh. He guessed my movie line in a previous post. Therefore, he wins the granola that I am going to be making.
- I am free.
- I own a part of a cow (hopefully the udder) and receive GREAT milk every week. Thanks, Luke . . . and thanks coop family!
- I finally made a binder of the boys' AWANA verses to leave at the kitchen table to easily review their verses at meals.
- BONUS: I am watching The Biggest Loser right now. (But I think the contestants are heartless. Shay NEEDS to be on the Ranch!)
Please leave a thankful comment at these lovely ladies who are also blogging about thankfulness . . .

Wonderful conditioner for taming dry frizzy hairReport this review
I've bought this product as a complement for my haircare routine. Used it twice so far and is not disappointing! It leaves my hair feeling indulgently soft and looking great. If I had to fault it the only aspect would be the scent. Its very neutral and not unpleasant at all but I would like a little much "perfume". Totally recommend it!Report this review
a good product but no miracle4
good moisturizing product, leaves my naturally dry hair soft and moisturized though frizz is still thereReport this review
Fabulous Product!5
This Product is amazing! Before i started using Paul Mitchell Super Charged Moisturiser my hair was so dry and damaged. It was frizzy and difficult to style. I have tried many other products but nothing works as well as this one. Even after just 1 week of use i noticed my hair was much softer and well conditioned. Since using this product for just 3 weeks now the improvement is unbelievable! My hair is now always shiny, soft, frizz-free and much more manageable. I would recommend this product to anyone who blow-drys and straightens their hair everyday as it is fantastic. A real hair saviour! I use this product 2-3 times a week after shampooing. Leave on for around 5 minutes and then follow with a conditioner.Report this review

text: Abysmal Despair is ODYSSEY''s much anticipated debut album on Transubstans Records. Heavy & harsh stonerrock deluxe with a great feeling for riffs, the band hits it hard, and hit is good ! Think stonerrock, add some noise and sludge - and you get a vague idea what this trio is all about. Linköpings daily news recently wrote - "ODYSSEY''s performances are probably the most energetic and violent in Sweden at the moment, and definetly worth that detour to witness..." This recording is much the same - energetic and violent... ELECTRIC WIZARD meets EYEHATEGOD meets ACRIMONY. A great debut album !!

Are there brands that you used to buy that are no longer in your local supermarket? What do you think of all these 'home brands'? Are they just as good as the named brands, are they cheaper, or are you still hankering after something in particular that just seems to have disappeared from the shelves?

Alice_ says: I have always seen home brand as an cheaper alternative (and they really area). Sometimes the quality of the food isn't great. However, it could be that we are persuading our own mind to think named brand is the better choice. This is due years and year of advertisement that leads to this kind of thinking. If we were to compare the ingredient lists on both products, there is high chances they are 90% the sam. Hence, we should just pick what we feel comfortable with. If we have money to spare we could just spend more on the named brand otherwise home brand is pretty decent to get by.

Kanpur, Sep 15, 2019-
Crucial files relating to the murders during the 1984 anti-Sikh riots have gone missing from the government records in Kanpur. More than 125 Sikhs were killed in this industrial town of Uttar Pradesh, which witnessed the second largest killings of minorities, after Delhi, following the assassination of then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi on October 31, 1984.
The special investigation team (SIT), set up by the state government in February 2019 to re-examine the 1984 riots cases, allegedly hushed up by the police then, have discovered that several important files relating to murder and dacoity were missing.
In some cases, the SIT could not find even the FIR and case dairies, which raises serious questions on the investigation into the killings of Sikhs here.
On the mysterious "disappearance' of crucial documents and case files, Atul, SIT Chairman and former Director General of Police, told, efforts were underway to retrieve the files.
"We want to ascertain the facts. We want to know whether the police closed the cases of murder in the absence of concrete evidence or they filed charge sheets in the court of trial. However, at the moment I can't elaborate as in many cases relating to murder, we are yet to trace the files," said Atul, a former IPS officer of the UP cadre, who also held a senior position in the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI).
Over 1,250 cases of murder, attempt to murder, dacoity, loot, arson, scuffle and threat to life were registered in Kanpur related to anti-Sikh riots.
Shockingly, the missing files relate to serious crimes, like murder and dacoity.
Sources said, the SIT initially identified 38 crimes of serious nature. Of these, in 26 cases, the police closed the investigation. The SIT has sought to re-examine these cases to ensure that guilty are not let off.
However, when Balendu Bhushan, SP, SIT, decided to go through the files, he found most important case dairies missing. The SP alerted the authorities to search the missing documents. He also appealed the witnesses of such crimes to come forward and register their statements.
Meanwhile, Anant Deo, SSP of Kanpur, said the matter was over 35 years old. "I am not in a position to comment right now. We will have to see whether the files were eliminated as many documents, as per government rules, are weeded out in a particular time-frame. Yet, given the importance of cases, we will try our best to cooperate with the SIT in retrieving documents," the SSP said.
Acting on a writ petition filed in the Supreme Court in 2017, the UP government set up the SIT, headed by Atul. Other members of the SIT include, retired District Judge Subhash Chandra Agarwal, former Additional DG, Prosecution, Yogeshwar Krishna Srivastava and Balendu Bhushan, SP.
The SIT has been mandated by the government to examine the cases in which the trial court acquitted the accused. The SIT will also look into cases in which the police filed the closure report. (Agency)

What is Self-Regulation, Exactly? Most people would agree that ADHD's primary challenges include focus, sustained attention, organization, and memory. However, many children (and adults) with ADHD also struggle to regulate their emotions. This struggle manifests as big bursts of anger or frustration, or extreme giddiness that seems incongruent with the immediate situation.

About The Greenest Branch, a Novel of Germany's First Female Physician:
In the year 1115, young Hildegard arrives at the Abbey of St. Disibod in the German Rhineland hoping to become a physician. But she soon finds out that as a girl she will not be allowed to attend the monastic school; instead, she must stay at the women's convent, isolated from the rest of the community and from the town.
But Hildegard refuses to be sidelined. Against fierce opposition from Prior Helenger, she secures an apprenticeship with Brother Wigbert who runs the infirmary and is in dire need of a capable assistant. Under his supervision, she begins to train as the abbey's first female doctor.
When Hildegard's reputation starts to spread throughout the Rhineland, Helenger's persecution escalates as he fears losing control over the women's community. But that is not the only challenge she must grapple with. She has also developed feelings for Volmar, a fellow Benedictine novice, that force Hildegard to re-examine the fundamental assumptions she has made about her life. Is the practice of medicine within the monastic confines her true calling, or is a quiet existence of domestic contentment more desirable?
With the pressures mounting and threatening to derail her carefully-laid plans, Hildegard becomes locked in a struggle that will either earn her an unprecedented freedom or relegate her to irrevocable oblivion.
The Greenest Branch is the first in a two-book series based on the true story of Hildegard of Bingen, Germany's first female physician and one of the few women to attain that position in medieval Europe. Set against the backdrop of the lush oak forests and sparkling rivers of the Rhineland, it is a tale of courage, strength, sacrifice, and love that will appeal to anyone who enjoys strong female protagonists in historical fiction.

OTTAWA—Canada will act to prevent the smuggling of cheap steel and aluminum into the North American market to avoid new U.S. tariffs on the metals, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said on March 27.
Trudeau said this month he was aware of concerns that countries facing the tariffs could try to ship supplies through Canada and pretend the metals had been produced in Canadian facilities.
Under new measures unveiled by Trudeau's office on March 27, the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) will gain new powers to stop companies that try to dodge duties.
The CBSA will also have greater flexibility in determining whether prices charged in the exporter's domestic market are reliable or distorted.
"We will not allow North American industries to be hurt or threatened by unfair trade practices, like the diversion of steel and aluminum … Canada will not be used as a backdoor into other North American markets," Trudeau said in a statement.
Canada will also coordinate more closely with its partners to strengthen border enforcement and meet more often with the United States and Mexico, its partners in the NAFTA trade pact, to discuss problems facing the steel and aluminum industries.
The measures will come into force after a 15-day consultation period.
Canada—the biggest supplier of steel and aluminum to the United States—currently has 71 trade remedy measures in force on steel and aluminum imports alone, the statement said.
Trump imposed tariffs on Canada and Mexico but suspended them temporarily, saying his final decision would depend on how much progress was made at talks to modernize the North American Free Trade Agreement.
Trudeau spoke to President Donald Trump on March 26 and "raised the strong measures Canada is taking to address unfair trade in steel and aluminum," according to a separate statement issued by the Canadian prime minister's office.

Coronavirus arrives in Benalla with two cases confirmed todayBy Simon Ruppert
Covid-19 has arrived in Benalla Rural City with two cases confirmed by the Department of Health and Human Services in the last 24 hours.
There is no confirmation on where in the district they occurred at this stage.
The total number of Covid-19 cases in Victoria is now 769 – an increase of 84 from yesterday. the state has now recorded four deaths related to COVID-19, with one death recorded overnight, a man in his 80's in a Melbourne hospital.
Emergency relief for self-quarantined from state government
The total number of cases includes 419 men and 346 women, with people aged from 3 to 88.
There are 21 confirmed cases of COVID-19 in Victoria that may have been acquired through community transmission. More than 39,000 Victorians have been tested to date.
Currently 26 people are in hospital, including four patients in intensive care, 193 people have recovered.
Of the total 769 cases, there have been 611 in metropolitan Melbourne and 139 in regional Victoria. A number of cases remain under investigation.
Emergency relief for self-quarantined from state government
The Department of Health and Human Services follows up and monitors all close contacts of confirmed cases and provides them with information and support. All close contacts must self-isolate for 14 days.
All people arriving from any international destination must also self-isolate for 14 days as per Commonwealth Government direction. From midnight last night (28 March), all travelers returning from overseas to Victoria will be placed in enforced quarantine for the self-isolation period of 14 days.
While most Victorians are voluntarily complying with requests to quarantine and self-isolate, Police have strong powers to enforce the direction if it's required. Police can now issue on the spot fines for anyone who is not following the directions of the Chief Health Officer including up to $1652 for individuals and up to $9913 for businesses.
Under the State of Emergency people who don't comply could also be taken to court and receive a fine of up to $20,000. Companies face fines of up to $100 000.
Cowboy teaches Aussies new tricks in Benalla
Victoria's Chief Health Officer Professor Brett Sutton said these are unprecedented times. The threat of coronavirus to public health is real and everyone must take social distancing seriously.
"Everyone who's unwell must isolate themselves and everyone who's been told they're in quarantine either as a returned traveller or close contact must do so," Professor Sutton said.
"Social distancing will save lives. Everyone needs to comply with restrictions in place to keep yourself, your loved ones and the whole community safe.
"We urge everyone to stay 1.5 metres away from everyone else, wash your hands often with soap and water and cough or sneeze into a tissue or your elbow."
The Victorian Department of Health and Human Services has a hotline for public information on COVID-19 which is 1800 675 398. Large numbers of calls will result in some delays and we ask Victorians for their patience as we work to manage the volume.

WEB Dubois: Why I Wont VoteMonday, August 27, 2012Mustafaa Abdul Muhammad
"In 1956, I shall not go to the polls. I have not registered. I believe that democracy has so far disappeared in the United States that no "two evils" exist. There is but one evil party with two names, and it will be elected despite all I can do or say."
Read the "still true" lecture by WEB Dubois
On October 20, 1956, W. E. B. Du Bois delivers this eloquent indictment of US politics while explaining to Nation readers why he won't vote in the upcoming Presidential election. Du Bois condemns both Democrats and Republicans for their indifferent positions on the influence of corporate wealth, racial inequality, arms proliferation and unaffordable health care.

President George W Bush has invited world leaders to gather in the US by the end of the year to discuss reform of the global financial system.
The summit would be the first of a series announced after talks between Mr Bush, French President Nicolas Sarkozy and EU Commission chief Manuel Barroso.
Here is the final sentence of the article:
Correspondents say such meetings would echo the Bretton Woods conference of 44 nations after World War II, which established many of the institutions and monetary systems that are now under threat.
On the BBC NEWS Web page just above that sentence, we even have an old Agence France-Presse photograph of that gathering, which even the Chicago economists will probably recognize as a major event in the history of economics.
Not too long after BBC NEWS released that story, the Web site for the Financial Times ran the following report by Jim Pickard and Nicholas Timmins:
Alistair Darling evoked the spirit of John Maynard Keynes on Sunday as he signalled a "reprioritising" of spending plans towards capital infrastructure, housing and energy.
The chancellor of the exchequer will call on departments to bring forward billions of pounds of capital expenditure to invigorate the economy ahead of an expected recession.
The government is limited in its ability to step up overall spending for the current three-year period, set at the last comprehensive spending review. But it can bring forward money from planned budgets in 2010-11 – after the next general election – creating potential difficulties for whoever is in government.
The challenge will be to accelerate the spending in such a short period, not least given the chill in private finance initiative markets upon which many such projects depend.
Mr Darling, in a newspaper interview published on Sunday, spoke approvingly of Keynes, the economist who urged the use of public money to finance job-creating capital projects in difficult times.
It may be just as well that Keynes himself is not around to witness his revival. For all his clarity of expression, which earned the adulation of John Kenneth Galbraith, I suspect that he would be more than a little disconcerted with what now passes for news in both the United States and the United Kingdom. Indeed, he probably would have been downright depressed over the role that the media played in promoting Chicago-style free market thinking (going back at least as far as coverage of the Presidency of Ronald Reagan); so, if anything were to surprise him, it would be only how long the United States had managed to endure on such a heavy diet of toxin-laced Kool-Aid, not to mention that Kool-Aid being the beverage of choice at the regular gatherings of the World Economic Forum. Indeed, were Keynes to be raised from the dead and allowed to walk the surface of today's world, I wonder if the only human being with whom he would feel capable of conducting intelligent conversation would be Muhammad Yunus!
The Bretton Woods system was, of course, the product of an international agreement rising to the challenge of restoring economic stability to a world torn apart by war. The invocation of the memory of that famous meeting in New Hampshire is ironic to the extent that, this time, the damage was done by the unbridled greed of the financial elite, rather than bloodthirsty tyrants like Adolf Hitler or Benito Mussolini. If we can get beyond that irony, we may appreciate the sobering lesson that neither peace nor democracy necessarily entails prosperity or even economic security. I invoke the adjective "sobering" because I suspect that economic stability will not be restored by new (or revived) institutions and practices alone; recovery is likely to require the moral equivalent of a twelve-step program. It is unclear that a convocation of even the wisest of economic heads can implement that kind of rehabilitation on a global scale, particularly if the countries most responsible for the catastrophe (such as the United States) are still loath to fess up to having a problem in the first place. Nevertheless, however rough the going may be, it would probably be a lot worse if there were not at least a few Keynesians around to try to keep the ball rolling in the right direction!

New York City's Cinema Sex: An Exploration of SHAME and the SHORTBUS
By Andrew Golledge, Antiscribe.com
In Steve McQueen's Shame we see a moment play out that we've seen in many films before it: the protagonist hitting rock bottom. For Shame, the protagonist is a wealthy, gorgeous white man whose rock bottom is having beautifully lit sex with two gorgeous women at the same time. It's a testament to McQueen's direction, Harry Escott's score and Michael Fassbender's performance that the scene isn't laughable, but instead a moment of pained surrender that seems to punctuate a lifetime's worth of addiction.
It is a sex addiction, one with which Brandon has seemingly lived without incident for years as he pursued some anonymous corporate career in midtown Manhattan. There is certainly little for it to distract from outside his work; when he's not paying for high-end sex or picking up girls from bars and clubs, he's enjoying mid-day masturbatory bathroom trips and late nights with left over Chinese take-out, beer and porn. Yet as appealing as all that sounds, it's upon the unexpected moving-in of his significantly more extroverted sister, Sissy, that we begin to see how deeply rooted his need for sexual release is. Not only does her presence prevent him from engaging in his usual escapades at home, but he's also confronted with what is most likely the cause of his addiction: their sexual relationship.

"The Adventures of Tintin" – The Antiscribe Appraisal
By Jonathan Morris, Antiscribe.com
As a scholar who is always interested in popular culture, and especially the ways in which it can be interpreted and reinterpreted across cultural boundaries, I found the idea of seeing The Adventures of Tintin to be an intriguing prospect. On the one hand, intellectually it was interesting to see how an internationally popular character would be interpreted for American audiences, and on the other, given the pedigree of its filmmakers, I assumed it would at least be a fun watch. First illustrated by the Belgian artist Hergé over seventy years ago, the world-travelling kid reporter Tintin has long been a popular icon to many European, and especially French-speaking, countries, but otherwise has never really crossed the Atlantic's cultural divide, standing as largely an unknown quantity to American audiences. And to be fair, outside of my own reading on the history of comic books and comic art, the character represents something of an unknown quantity to me as well. However, now that I have seen director Steven Spielberg and producer Peter Jackson's long in development film version, the appeal of the character remains unknown to me, and I'm assuming it will to others. Whether it's truly a faithful version of the character and his universe, I'm not one to say, but what I can say, is that as a film, and perhaps more accurately, as a film going experience, The Adventures of Tintin just isn't very good.
