THE RX-7 is back! Or at least all the elements necessary for a rotary-engined sports car revival, perhaps targeted for 2017 (the 50th anniversary of Mazda's first rotary) or 2020 (the centenary of the company).
The embodiment of this promise is the RX-Vision concept, revealed at the Tokyo Motor Show by Mazda president Masamichi Kogai, who proudly proclaimed: "One day, the rotary will make a comeback."
Design chief Ikuo Maeda's gleaming GT-proportioned Vision was merely a fibreglass showpiece, lacking engine or running gear, but in meeting rooms behind the glitzy stand there was the palpable sense among design and engineering staff that Mazda's rotary-powered RX sports car series had merely taken a step back with the end of the RX-8 so as to now leap farther.
Research and Development boss Kiyoshi Fujiwara admitted that the next-generation 'SkyActiv-R' engine – a development of the turbocharged direct-injection 1.6-litre two-rotor 16X, previewed in the 2007 Taiki concept – will soon begin real-world durability testing in several Mazda markets, including Australia.
Maeda – whose father designed the original RX-7 in the 1970s – penned the last RX-series car, the RX-8, which ceased production in 2012. Wheels' 2003 COTY winner had been acclaimed for its userfriendly 2+2 interior, accessed via rear-hinged half-doors.
The RX-Vision suggests a dramatic move away from such practicality, with a dashboardto- axle proportion and overall dimensions that invite comparison with front-engined V12 GT coupes.
Maeda was quick to explain that these proportions were exaggerated for effect; it wasn't designed to any particular platform or set of engineering hard-points. "A real one would be smaller, more sports car than GT," he said. "Our aim is to build a pure sports car – pure, lightweight, coming from the previous RX-7."
The man who adorned the RX-8 with signature rotor details let the RX-Vision's shape do the talking.
Actual RX-7 cues are limited to the four-lamp tail-lights and subtle 'telephone handset' rear graphic that links them. Both were elements of the third-generation RX-7, his personal favourite.
On the motor show turntable, the RX-Vision's surfacing was a visual feast (see the video at WheelsMag.com.au). Light forms a bridge joining front and rear
wheel arches, but then spills spectacularly through subtle curves on the door surfaces. It's the optical equivalent of going flat through Eau Rouge.
"The first impression is very simple; it has to be," Maeda grinned. "But once catching some of the light, you can see the reflection is going like a 'Z'. That shows the emotion, the form of this car. That is a major focus."
The platform for the RX-Vision and its production iteration remains a mystery; the fact that the concept's 2700mm wheelbase is the same as the CX-5's is merely coincidental.
Japanese media have reported that Mazda has approached suppliers to help evaluate a reardrive platform for launch in 2020.
Though said to be for a mid-class car (Mazda 6, CX-5), it would be thi T rem m th su dri Th strange to switch to rear-drive in mainstream models from cheaper, space-efficient front-drive.
It's most likely the production car – quickly dubbed RX-9 by the world's press – will have a dedicated platform. Fujiwara still rues the fact that the RX-8 shared its platform with the NC MX-5, which was "not an ideal situation" for either car.
Fujiwara ventured: "This kind of sports car cannot use a current passenger-car platform. The low height and lighter weight is required. We have to consider more clever solutions."
Clever materials and techniques are definitely on the agenda.
In the absence of a big luxury flagship, Mazda's RX-series cars have historically fulfilled the role as the company's technology leaders. Just as the RX-8 introduced friction-welding to join steel and aluminium panels, the newgeneration coupe may have mixedmaterial construction that would include composite body panels.
Of greatest interest, however, is the rotary engine, which is unique to Mazda and a halo technology for the brand.
Fujiwara says the new 1.6-litre turbo SkyActiv-R, with a higher compression ratio than the 13B Renesis used in the RX-8, will be exclusive to a sports car. And it will have better performance at low revs: "Turbocharging is one of the big contributors for the future of the rotary engine [because it] has some weakness at low rpm, in terms of torque."
A fundamental hurdle has been the placement of the spark plugs in the rotor housing. Due to the path of the rotor within the housing, the
spark plug electrode can't intrude into the combustion area, as in a piston engine.
Fujiwara indicated that they had investigated HCCI (homogeneouscharge compression ignition), but along the way "found another system, that uses the normal ignition system. It can be suited for future HCCI, but this system can be utilised for rotary as a first step."
Could it be laser ignition?
From the sound of it, the SkyActiv-R is viable.
"We have all the technical solutions on the rotary engine," Fujiwara said. "But we need time to validate the quality issues – with actual prototype vehicle, with prototype engine, driving in the actual market like Australia, America, Europe. That kind of quality validation is needed for the rotary engine, because we had bad experience in the past.
"We will carefully and completely validate before the commercialisation decision. Step by step, that's my process. At this moment I can't say when. But soon."

Hi All,
I am really tensed as my CO had sent me a PPI letter on 02nd March to which i had replied her with help of my advisor and my employer on 14th March 2017.
After that it is totally quiet, even contact center says there is no update.
However after the easter she had visited my work place and had a meetig with my Senior HR officer and even a CCM at office.
To which my HR advisor had said they went happy , as not only me but 25 people from my office are waiting an answer from INZ regarding their SMC visa(We work as ICT Customer Support Officer).
However after that surprise visit , my lawyer had sent an email to CO on 12th April, 20th April and even yesterday as it has been past 1.5months now and have not heard anything.
But CO does not even acknowledges an email nor even says that"Hey i have recieved your email and i'll get back to you , atleast to let us know that she has recieved it"
My advisor says that mostly CO they genrally reply to the emails even after a week to advise the update or atleast to acknowledge, I am not sure if CO is being rude or is not willing to reply?
Can some one please share their experience that will be much appreciated.

Pierre Lefebvre (Oncoman) and I will be making a trip into Baxter State Park March 8 thru March 14. We are staying at the Doubletop cabin on Kidney Pond. On the agenda are North Brother, Fort, Mullen, OJI, Barren, and Owl. While there arent a lot of folks working on Maine 3ks in winter, this is a good opportunity for anyone wishing to complete the winter NE67 and NE100 to get North Brother and Fort in the company of a group.
There are four bunks still available. Cost is $130 per bunk for the six nights ($22 per night). The cabin has a woodstove and the firewood is provided by the park. Outhouses are open and TP is provided by the park. All the comforts of home!
We would certainly welcome company for any or all of the 3ks but if folks want to join strictly for Fort and/or North Brother, that will be fine too. Pierre and I will bushwhack to Mullen from Fort.
Interest parties must be experienced in winter hiking, have proper equipment, and be physically able to carry their own weight and share in trail breaking. This will be a team effort.
Pierre and I will be pulling our sleds on the tote road from the Abol winter parking area. A shuttle service is available to transport gear to the Kidney Pond entry road for those that wish to use it. Note that the shuttle is not permitted to travel the last mile into Kidney pond so they will drop gear off at the end of the entry road. My sled will be available to anyone using the shuttle to get their gear from the end of the road to the cabin.
If you are interested, please send me a PM with your credentials and goals for the trip.

A 'green' university
The University of New Brunswick is working towards 'greening' both campuses.
Reducing our environmental footprint can sometimes be challenging on campuses that have 100-year-old buildings, but we're working together and are committed to transforming the University to an environmentally sound, friendly and conscious entity. The AAU presidents are working together to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
Steps to implement an energy sustainability plan and building an environmentally conscious University has begun:
- Commons designed to meet Leeds Silver
- New buildings will meet NB Green Building Policy
- Both NBCC buildings on both campuses designed to be Leeds Silver
- The creation of a dedicated sustainability office and committee
- $7 million energy auditing and retrofit program
- The replacement of thousands of incandescent lamps to more energy efficient ones
- A bicycle rental program available to staff and students
- Reusable dishware used wherever possible
- Bathroom paper products are 100 per cent recycled
- The use of green cleaning products
- The replacement of appliances and equipment with Energy Star qualified products
- Participation in Earth Day activities
- Traditional, computer and electronics recycling programs are in place
- The introduction of 'green' frosh kits
- Active student-run organizations such as UNB Green – focused on recycling programs in residence and the campus buildings
- Participation in Recyclemania was the biggest 'green' event in UNB history
- Local transit is encouraged through a bus pass paid through graduate student fees
- Active participation in receiving a positive 'green' report card
These are just a few of the areas we are working on.
We know our future depends on everyone doing their own part to protect the environment. And we want to do ours.

Becoming an Ed Miliband tribute act won't help the Tories win young voters from Labour
Britons are yearning for an optimistic vision of the future. A vision that looks beyond Brexit and addresses their deepest fears about where the country is going and how we create a prosperous future for the next generation.
Conservatives have always believed that capitalism, for all its failings, is the best system for the economy. Increasing the size of the cake so there is more to share is the way to create a society that works for the many and not the few. But capitalism is on trial. The financial crisis was more than a decade ago, but discontent with business still abounds. There's a widespread feeling that the economy is not delivering for voters as it should do.
No one in Britain has benefited from this angst more than the hard Left. They've taken over Labour and can regularly be found in the media calling for nationalisation, and Bennite schemes for worker control and higher taxes – policies that were tested to destruction in the Seventies. Their favourite trick is to pick cases of justifiable moral outrage, such as tech platforms not paying their fair share of tax, as the wedge to make their extreme policies palatable. And they've won celebrity endorsements, ranging from Stormzy to the Archbishop of Canterbury, to help shape the zeitgeist in their favour.
No wonder at the last election this message appealed to younger voters: 62 per cent of 18 to 24-year-old voters picked Labour in 2017, up from 43 per cent in 2015. And it's not only the young. The age at which a voter became more likely to vote Tory than Labour in 2017 was 47.
Young people, whose political consciousness has been shaped by the crash, whose early working life has been one of stagnant wages, and who struggle with housing, have a legitimate grievance that the system is not working for them. These future Conservatives are alive to the failings of capitalism. What is concerning is that many have bought hook, line and sinker the hard-Left propaganda that reheated Marxism is the way forward.
Accepting the Left's criticisms of capitalism at face value is the last thing we should do. Trying to out-Corbyn Corbyn would turn the Tories into an Ed Miliband tribute act. If all voters hear from us is an echo of the Left's concerns, without an enthusiastic and full-throated endorsement of open markets, and without trumpeting our strong economic record since 2010, we will have only ourselves to blame when they turn away from capitalism.
We must instead rediscover the confidence to make the case for our beliefs. Conservatives need to fight back and present an alternative vision for the economy the next generation can buy into. This is why I am backing The Sunday Telegraph's Campaign for Capitalism.
To win, we must be unashamedly pro-enterprise and pro-endeavour and focus our economy on Britain's USP as a world leader in technology, science and innovation, which is where the high-paid jobs of the future will be. To seize new opportunities, we need to double down on, and invest in, the economy of ideas. The Government recognises this and has a commitment to invest 2.4 per cent of our GDP in R&D by 2027. Just as we invest 2 per cent of our GDP in national security, if met the R&D target will secure our economic future.
Ultimately, however, it is a spirit of adventure and a culture of entrepreneurship that will transform our economy in the coming decades. Crucial to stimulating this culture is smart regulation. Sensible regulation is important for keeping consumers safe and ensuring fair dealing, but too often it isn't fit for purpose. From banking to media, old-fashioned regulation can give incumbents the edge and crowd out new business models. I want to see every regulator reassess its rules with new technology in mind, with a view to enabling and supporting innovative new businesses, not standing in their way. This way, the efforts of risk-takers will help boost productivity and growth.
Finally, we need to do a better job of helping young people enjoy the benefits of economic growth. A straightforward way of doing this would be to abolish income tax for the under 25s so that young people in work get a start in life. And we need to tackle the housing crisis.
To respond to voters' cry for change, we must present them with a new economic blueprint not just for the next election, but for the decades ahead to 2050. A vision that harnesses and supports the "can-do" spirit on which all human progress depends.

This song is the property of Tommy Boy Records.
Stetsasonic was an American hip hop group from Brooklyn, New York City. Formed in 1981, the group was originally known as The Stetson Brothers, after the Stetson hat, and consisted of three MCs, the Human Hit Machine and Prince Paul. The Stetson Brothers later changed their name and style to Stetsasonic the Hip Hop band and signed a recording contract with Tommy Boy Records after DBC came up with and played a bassline for their debut single "If You Can't Say It All Just Say STET" from Tommy Boy Records head Tom Silverman. The single received regular airplay several months later, and the group released their debut album "On Fire" in 1986. The album received mixed reviews, although their next albums "In Full Gear" and "Blood, Sweat & No Tears" were critically acclaimed. The group disbanded after the release of "Blood, Sweat & No Tears."

But, I tousled hair from the trekking photo and kept thinking Davidson Saskatchewan fucking real hookers to this smile. He had had enough bars and had been outside in the mountains somewhere. So I decided to wait and check back.
" I'm not right here seeking sex, and if that's what you want you may wish to check out the countless other people on right here, they all seem like an ideal match to your rate of interests! " I'm mosting likely to mention one last time: Program, don't inform. You can say you are amusing, or you can be amusing. You can state you love analysis, or you could talk about your preferred book. You can stateyou're really high power, or you can just be high energy.
Now of course this is not something that normal men would just say for her. A guy will probably that is rude. So I will immediately get a reply from her and her girlfriends.
Trust me, when a guy's not dressed up and that he shows up for this lame mindset of" I am here, what can you mature local sluts Davidson SK out of me? " Of course I am taking millions of notes and there is smoke rushing from my pencil. I will not tolerate somebody who can't measure up to the mark that they place, but can't attain himself.
Now, I might mention that I enjoy writing and reading and this could be an indirect signal of intelligence, but they continue to be boring. When you throw in some interests that are active /exciting, it paints a picture that is complete.
If your local amatuer sluts homemade videos Davidson Saskatchewan behaviour in your past relationship was being rebellious, your homework is to make a record of ten" I am" statements. This quick dating apps Davidson SK is intended to assist you obtain an identity of your own instead of allowing someone else to be in charge of your life, which is what is happening when you believe you have to patiently.
I do believe there is some truth to this, especially. You get what you focus on, because you detect whatyou're looking for. You may only notice these ones, if you believe there are just guys out there. And whileyou're in that headspace, if you meet some good ones, you will only notice their traits.
So, if you are calculative, you will count to a factor where you will certainly say, " Yep, that's enough. I have actually offered my reasonable share. Currently it's your turn. " However your partner might not feel it's their turn yet. So, don't compute. Maintain offering kindly as well as you companion will certainly return your love when the moment is right.
While the brain is your sexual nerves that are psychological, the PC muscles will be your sex muscles. You'll be knocked from the ring, thenyou're going to wind up being depressed and remaining a guy if you don't train them.
- Have the ideal attitude- - fearless and not arrogant, convince him thatyou're confident on your skin- Don't shutter or look nervous, a confident person has swiss girls online dating more chance of self indulgent- Have self- confidence, sense of humour and local sluts- control- Show him that you are mature and independent, no men likes clingy and insecure woman. Treat him like he decorate him and Davidson SK something to you.
I never thought I would hear from this guy again, but my phone rang early in the morning. " Hi, I was serious. So we went to find some food. From that point, I ended up taking him to the airport. From the beginning, that is how things were with him. There was a few benefit to our relationship whether a ride, or even a haircut, or a opportunity to win life- changing prize money.
However it resembles there's a greener grass following door, so they finf local fuck buddy once more! They do their companion jumping, dating as well as trading looking for the greenest yard, but they'll never locate it because a lovely connection, like a beautiful garden, need to be tended to as well as cared for. You can have' happily for lifeafter' with the companion you pick, but you should devote on your own to it. Without dedication, absolutely nothing lasts.
Chick flicks are boring and predictable and I'd hate for this to be my entire life. I am open- minded and will surely try dating. I would recommend that you try it because you never know, if you've been considering getting into online dating. Finest case scenario, you try it and it turns out to be. Otherwise, your friends will enjoy the bad date stories.
As you'll see, throughout the stories and throughout the years, dating the wrong guys changed my standards. It opened my eyes to exactly what I deserved regardless of the dearth of anyone being there and who I was. Through relationship hell to be able to live the superb life that I have today, with an appreciation which may only come from viewing the 31, I had been guided. I can only hope that my stories can help guide at least one fabulous girl out of this impossible spot she's into a location where she esteem in the world from her own and can attain that she's worth all of the love
Be careful with the date strategy that is dual; not everyone is comfortable going on a date like this. It can be intimidating for the individual that is new. They are the outsider in a scenario where you and another few knew each other. More pressure would be on them to make a good impression not just on you, but on your friends- - whom your date knows will offer their views following the outing to you. And, of course, there's the security aspect for your own date to think about.
But I don't want to move on. I heard once that you move on when you begin to care more about somebody else. I guess a part of me hasn't really given my thoughts the opportunity to accomplish this, holding out in the hope that things will suddenly workout, he'll change his mind.
You will never be asked by A girl the way the date is moving. She makes her mind up about how she feels about you. She will want to know if you like her too, if she likes you, but she will not ask you how the date is going.
Our interests can and do alter. So as to develop with that local sluts looking for sex Davidson remaining part that turns out to be that really good one for you, it is absolutely beneficial to see all the potential dates in their infinite variety, in gigantic numbers. You could very well be on the right track, if you were able to state that one date out of a hundred was decent.
Now, I'm hardly a pickup artist, but I would strongly advise that you read some pick- up artist books( The Game, by Neil Strauss) , and study the type of preparation which lets you get to people who you believe you tublr local sluts Davidson Saskatchewan not be able to access. It's a ladder, and one focusses on getting a layer of abilities, which supplement the dialogue skills of one, and empowers us proceed towards being able to attract people higher up in the ladder. Now, the folks up from the ladder are largely extroverted, they may be highly charismatic- I'm not saying they are necessarily very likely to be good, supportive spouses.
#The Dating Difficulty Jenny- Marie Penberthy Invite to #thedatingchallengeFirst of all I intend to praise you for daring to ditch the all too acquainted and also subdued supper as well as film date for days exploding with flair and also gusto.

Codecademy is great for taking you through the basics of HTML and it really guides you through and holds your hand when you are starting out and code just seems confusing. Often free learning is okay but not the same quality you would get if you paid for it, but Codecademy is genuinely really useful and rivals paid tools for functionality. It does much more than just HTML, so if you want to take it further you can learn CSS, JavaScript and even PHP, Python and Ruby if you want.
Little known fact about me is that I love a good game of airsoft on the weekends. Like in most cities, there is a group of about 200 people (mostly guys but there are some women who play) who get together every weekend to play. The airsoft guns are not anything like the tiny pump guns that kids buy at Walmart. These guys spend hundreds on their guns, more on camo, and even have radio comm and military style helmets. It's serious to these guys.

Real estate is the obvious choice if you are going to make money on your money. I personally am not at the point where I can do any of this in a meaningful way BUT my parents are and they now own a couple homes outright and are collecting income from them to power their retirement income. It makes a lot more sense for anyone that has a chunk of cash sitting in the bank and are planning on slowly drawing from it because you technically still have all that money in a property (or multiple properties) and can sell them if you really need the lump sum of cash but you'll earn great interest payments until you do that.
I think one thing to be careful of – for those planning to monetise via Amazon (which isn't the best option in a lot of cases) – is that while logic dictates that going for premium product ($500+) makes more sense (due to a higher commission per purchase), I found this isn't the case. I had an "Amazon affiliate site" in this price range a while back and I think I sold like 3 things the whole time. People seem quick to part with their cash online when something is £300 mark, they seem a lot more hesitant in my experience.
A key feature is their Divi Builder plugin, which can work with any theme. This allows drag-and-drop page building, something WordPress doesn't inherently offer. Elegant Themes isn't the only plugin with the functionality (Thrive Architect has something similar). But, it is still an appealing feature. With this and the quality of the themes, it's easy to see why people sign up to Elegant Themes.
If you received certification from one of the web's many digital marketing certification programs, then you have plenty of fields to choose from. Digital marketing is a vast field and there are a lot of roles and responsibilities to take on. Also, this is the most flexible field to work in because one can move from one field to another fairly easily, which is quite difficult for those working in other industries. For example, a digital marketing professional can shift their focus from social media marketing to search engine optimization or email marketing. There will be plenty of opportunities to grow as a full-stack digital marketer as well.
Sugardaddie is also exactly what the name suggests. The site focuses on millionaires, sugar daddies and the women that would want to date them. There is a strong emphasis on relationships that benefit both parties. The site offers few specifics but the implication is that they pair attractive women with rich men. How well this works in practice isn't clear but the site (and the underlying concept) seems to be popular.

"Create your own products and services," financial blogger and life coach Michael Tamez tells Bustle. "Any company you could ever work for can replace you at any time. However, your individuality can never be replaced! I encourage you to explore your creative talents and abilities more. What are you good at? How can you monetize that talent and perhaps even build a business out of it? Have you experienced something extraordinary in your life, and because of it, have tons of knowledge and wisdom to share? ... Creating your own products and services can create steady streams of residual income, which pays you continuously, even when you're not working. Essentially, you bust your ass once and get paid for the rest of your life — even when you're sitting on the beach, sipping coconut rum. Just remember this: When you invest in your creative abilities, you become irreplaceable!"
Increased Chance of Success: Begin with a small, well-defined product range rather than casting a wide net. Selling a couple of niche products allows retailers to take the time needed to understand cost, pricing, and potential barriers to scaling sales. They can research their target audience and build a good marketing plan. With a focused marketing strategy, higher organic search rankings, and lower competition, niche retailers have the perfect recipe for a lucrative business. From there, they can then expand and diversify.
In addition, you must know how much you want to earn by joining affiliate programs. Will it be your main source of income or just an additional one? For the first scenario, you should consider promoting products that are expensive and, consequently, that can bring you a good profit. If you plan on the second scenario, you can opt for affiliate programs that pay for sign ups or affiliate programs that pay daily.

Bhai Dooj:
Festival is celebrated in the month of October or November. It falls on the new moon night, approximately one day after the festival of Diwali.
The name Bhai Dooj, with 'bhai' meaning brother and 'dooj' meaning the second day after the new moon (the day of the festival), literally means, the day of the brother. Bhai Dooj is also known as the festival of Tikka.
The festival of Bhai Dooj signifies the bond of love between a brother and a sister. The sister applies tilak (saffron and vermilion) on the forehead of her brother, performs aarti and offers sweets. In return, the brother blesses her and gives her nice presents.
There are a number of legends associated with the festival of Bhai Dooj. One of the legends has it that Yamraj, the God of death, visited his sister Yamuna on the day of Bhai Dooj.
She adorned his forehead with the auspicious tilak (saffron and vermilion), garlanded him and fed him with special dishes and sweets.
At the time of leaving, Yamraj gave her a special gift as a token of his adoration and in return, she also gifted him a present that was made by her.
On that day Yamraj announced that anyone who receives tilak from his sister would never be thrown into hell. From that day onwards, Bhai Dooj is celebrated and is also known by the name of 'Yama Dwitiya'.
Another legend goes that Lord Krishna went to his sister, Subhadra's house, after annihilating Narakasura demon. She welcomed him with aarti (lamp), flowers and sweets.
Thereafter, she put the Tikka, holy protective tilak, on his forehead. From that day onwards, the festival of Tikka is celebrated as a mark of affection between brothers and sisters.
Following these legends, it has become the tradition that it is the brother, who goes to his sister's house to celebrate Bhai Dooj and not the other way around.
