"They're all about video games, gamer nerds, web geeks, dork nerds, gamewads, nerd games, web webs, and elves."—--Strong Bad on webcomics
A webcomic is exactly what it sounds like, a comic on the World Wide Web.
They vary in format from gag-a-day Garfield-style strips, to dramatic, romantic graphic novels, to Japanese-inspired manga-style comics. Some of the most popular webcomics tend to have a computer game theme, giving an idea of who their key audience are (or, perhaps, where the author is coming from).
The medium as a whole suffers from the same problems as Fanfic with regards to Sturgeon's Law: a low barrier to entry means that the entire 90% of crap is visible. While many of the webcomics -- particularly those on free community sites like Drunk Duck and Comic Genesis and Comic Fury -- are considered low quality, there are many high-quality comics out there.
Some webcomics, such as Penny Arcade and Xkcd have even gained sufficient popular and critical acclaim to earn their creators a living wage from their work, usually via selling The Merch. As was noted on the Newspaper Comics page, the bar for success in sequential art was set fairly low by the old newspaper syndicates and comics publishers, so "a living wage" rather than movie/rock star extravagance is all anyone ever expected to begin with.
Webcomics work on a very different set of standards than other fiction. Almost all webcomic authors are working pretty much entirely alone as they both draw and script their comics and most do not plan any further along than to the end of their current story -- sometimes not even that far.
Many of them try to adhere to a schedule they aren't really capable of meeting, resulting in them rushing to meet their deadline and making mistakes that should be avoidable. So many of the good 10% lack qualities standard in traditionally professional works. This can be because of the lack of editorial input as well as the lack of lead time. Not all webcomics suffer from this, though, and even the ones that do can still be interesting. Arguably, some strips benefit from their rawness.
Growing in popularity in recent years, webcomics use Tropes just like any other media, and thus can be seen cited throughout the wiki.

The gang wars that left New York littered with bodies BEFORE the Mafia's Five Families ruled: How the tit-for-tat Tong wars brought bloody but well-dressed terror to Chinatown

- The Tongs flourished in the late 1800s as New York became more popular for Chinese immigrants, who had previously migrated to California
It was the bloody conflict that was omitted from the Martin Scorsese movie 'Gangs of New York'.
But the Tong Wars were as brutal as any that were dramatized in the Oscar-winning film, according to a new book.
The four Tong Wars raged on and off more than 25 years and left dozens of people dead as bodies piled up in Chinatown in Manhattan.
During the tit-for-tat killings, one of the Tongs - the Chinese word for gang - was tortured to death with meat cleavers by murderers who cut his nose off.
In another incident, gang members were shot dead and two civilians were killed during a mass execution at a theater.
The four Tong Wars betwen Chinise gangs started in 1900 and raged on for 25 years in New York. Pictured above are members of the Hip Sing Tong, including National Secretary Eng Ying 'Eddie' Gong (center), in 1933
Tongs - which is Chinese for gangs - often used six-shot derringers, meat cleavers and other weapons (pictured above) when things turned violent
And in another event, a 22-year-old white missionary was caught up in the mayhem when she was strangled by her lover in Chinatown.
The Tong Wars saw men armed with hatchets executing their rivals and open warfare on the streets of New York that corrupt police were powerless to prevent.
According to Tong Wars: The Untold Story of Vice, Money and Murder in New York's Chinatown, by Scott D Seligman, the gangsters wore pinstripe suits, fedora hats and had their collars pulled up.
Their weapons of choice included a six-shot derringer and the meat cleaver.
Seligman tells for the first time how the gangs of Chinatown were as brutal as their more famous Italian or Irish counterparts.
The Tongs flourished in the late 1800s as New York became more popular for Chinese immigrants, who had previously migrated to California.
In 1870, however, California enacted laws preventing them from working on public projects and authorizing cities to relocate them outside of their boundaries.
But not even the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882, which banned further immigration from Chinese laborers for ten years and banned those in the United States from obtaining citizenship discouraged more from coming.
Chinatown developed in an area south of Canal Street in Manhattan in a neighborhood that until then had been occupied by Irish immigrants.
The Chinese lived in cramped apartments where landlords had built extra floors into high ceilinged rooms to cram in an extra set of beds.
In 1875 the New York state census recorded only 157 Chinese people in the the city. In reality, however, there were were much more, and by 1880 the New York Times estimated the real number to be at 4,500.
By that time there were an estimated 300 Chinese laundries in the city with many other Chinese working in restaurants, cigar makers and other skilled trades.
But there was also a criminal element who ran the illicit gambling parlors and opium dens, writes Seligman, a former congressional legislative assistant who is fluent in Mandarin.
The most powerful Chinese immigrant at the time was Tom Lee, who came to America when he was 14 having been born in Guangzhou
By 1884, Tom Lee was thought to be running 16 gambling establishments in Little China, the precursor to Chinatown. Pictured above are documents from a gambling house
The most powerful Chinese immigrant at the time was Tom Lee, who Seligman calls a 'a crafty man with no small levels of ambition' who came to America when he was 14 having been born in Guangzhou.
He was sent to New York by the Six Companies, San Francisco Chinatown's supreme governing body, a fraternal organization in the United States was an umbrella group of different agencies.
Such agencies were referred to by the name 'Tong', meaning chamber. Another word for them was 'triad', which is more commonly used today.
With the authority of the Six Companies, Tom Lee was effectively put in charge of the Chinese community in New York in the 1870s.
He was a social climber and realized the value of connections outside his community, especially at City Hall and the police department.
Tom Lee courted them with gifts, and in September 1881, he arranged a picnic on Staten Island for 50 Chinese residents and a handful of invited - and influential - guests.
He became known as the 'Mayor of Mott Street' and was the most important figure in the Chinese community.
in 1880 Tom Lee founded his new organization, the Loon Yee Tong, whose name translates as 'Chamber United in Friendship', a mixture of trade union, fraternity and advocacy group, that served as a sort of Chinese Masonic lodge.
The initiation ritual involved suspending a sword over a recruit's head as he recited 36 oaths of allegiance. His finger was pricked and a drop of blood was put into some wine which was drunk by all in the room to symbolize brotherhood.
'Loyalty and obedience were valued above all else,' Seligman writes.
By 1884 Tom Lee was thought to be running 16 gambling establishments in Little China, the precursor to Chinatown; Gamblers paid $8 per table per week with a third going to him and the rest given to the police.
Violence properly kicked off in Chinatown violence properly began on August 12, 1900, in the hallway of a tenement at 9 Pell Street (Pell and Doyers intersection pictured above)
The first mark of violence on Pell Street (pictured) occurred when four On Leong gunmen ambushed a Hip Sing laundryman who was in Chinatown for his usual Sunday visit
In current day, Pell Street - pictured at its Doyer intersection - is bustling with shops and restaurants
Lee also made money from using his police contacts to keep cops away from opium dens or giving the owners a warning they were about to be raided.
He was also not afraid to have rivals killed if it suited him.
As Seligman writes, it was Tom Lee's other gang, the On Leong Tong, and the Hip Sing Tong, its bitter rival, that would cause the first of the Tong Wars.
The Hip Sing Tong started in San Francisco and translates as 'Chamber United in Victory'.
The organization made a fortune from smuggling people into the US for $200 a time and were also known as the 'Highbinders'.
One report from the time said they were a 'famous secret society of thugs and murderers...who haunt the dirty basements'.
While Tom Lee had always paid some of his earnings from gambling to the police and politicians, the Hip Sing Tong kept it all for themselves and were far more mercenary.
As Seligman puts it: 'The On Leongs were selling protection from the police. The Hip Sings were selling protection from themselves.'
The Hip Sings were led by Young Mock Duck, who claimed to have been born in San Francisco in 1879 but there were no records to back this up.
Seligman writes that he looked 'slim and delicate, almost girlish in demeanor' but his appearance belied how he had the 'spirit of a tiger'.
In the years to come Mock Duck achieved almost mythical status and children in Chinatown came to believe that he had supernatural powers like being able to see around corners, deflect bullets from his skin and read people's minds.
During the 1980s the On Leongs and the Hip Sings fought a PR war with both sides accusing the other of criminality through newspaper reports planted with friendly journalists.
Tom Lee ocial climber and realized the value of connections outside his community, especially at City Hall and the police department, who he often paid off. Pictured above, police detectives read a newspaper during the Tong Wars
The violence properly began on August 12, 1900, in the hallway of a tenement at 9 Pell Street when four On Leong gunmen ambushed a Hip Sing laundryman who was in Chinatown for his usual Sunday visit.
The killer, Sin Cue, and three others were arrested and soon after police learned that the plan had been to kill four Hip Sings, but the others had escaped.
The Hip Sings responded by putting a $3,000 bounty on Tom Lee's head.
Tom Lee told a friend: 'They are after me now', adding: 'Some day I go like that', with a snap of his fingers.
The Hip Sings finally got their revenge when Sin Cue visited Pell Street that September with his friend Ah Fee.
They were ambushed by six armed Hip Sings who threw pepper in their faces and beat them with an iron bar.
During the carnage the Hip Sings, including Mock Duck and henchman Sue Sing, fired a gun and a stray bullet hit a female passer by and slightly injured her two children.
Ah Fee was shot twice and died of his injuries.
Mock Duck and the four other Hip Sings were put on trial but before the case began Sin Cue, the man who would have been the prosecution's key witness, died after his home was set on fire, causing him to leap off the balcony to his death.
The blaze was started when a pan of cooking oil was left on a burner in a restaurant below - and looked extremely suspicious.
Mock Duck's first trial resulted in a hung jury but a white witness revealed they had been given a note saying that if they gave evidence they would 'die to-day'.
The Hip Sings were led by Young Mock Duck (pictured), who claimed to have been born in San Francisco in 1879
It read: 'Pepper in your eyes and bullet in your heart. You no go alive...best thing you die so you make no more witness for Chinese.'
The note was signed, 'One, Two, Three', which appears to have been a Tong-related code.
Mock Duck would appear before judges dozens of times after this but on each occasion the police could never make the charges stick
In November 1904 he survived an assassination attempt when he was shot twice as he came up some steps from the basement of 18 Pell Street.
Mock Duck's assailant, an On Leong called Lee Sing, calmly walked toward him from over the road and opened fire at close range.
The second bullet grazed him and the first lodged in his stomach having bounced off his belt, a deflection which saved his life.
Police later learned that there had been a secret meeting of the On Leong Tong in which lots were drawn to see who would kill Mock Duck.
By this stage the press began to call the fight a 'Tong War' for the first time.
The New York World newspaper said it was 'quite as deadly as the Italian Mafia or the Black Hand'.
Later that month, after Mock Duck was released from hospital, the two Tongs exchanged gunfire in what the New York Sun called a 'regular highbinder six-shooter war dance on the Bowery' .
Police recovered battle gear from the Hip Sings which included four coats of armor including one vest made of steel rings woven together which was resistant to bullets - which caused deep alarm among law enforcement.
Innocent bystander John Baldwin, a white man who was drinking at a saloon on the Bowery was shot and died of his injuries.
By 1904, the press began to call the Chinese gang violence a 'Tong War' for the first time. Pictured above is the On Leong Tong headquarters
This sparked an unprecedented level of attention from the city and police, so both Tongs turned to means other than violence to disrupt the other.
Over Christmas two On Leongs posed as out of town laundrymen and lured 15 Hip Sings to a gambling den - then reported them to the police.
When the officers arrived the On Leongs pulled an iron ring which opened a trap door in the floor, sending all the Hip Sings plunging into two feet of water below.
The cops eventually got in and arrested them all.
In January 1905 the next body fell - this time another Hip Sing.
Huie Fong was ambushed on Mott Street by a man who blasted three shots at him from close range.
According to a newspaper report, a police detective who was two doors away rushed to the scene and found Huie Fong 'flapping like a landed trout' which blood gushing from the two holes in his chest.
Soon after the On Leongs declared that for every time one of their properties was raided based on a tip from the Hip Sings 'there would be another dead Hip Sing'.
The Hip Sings responded by putting up red signs reminding people of the $3,000 bounty on Tom Lee's head.
The On Leongs retaliated by crushing the skull of Ching Gon, a Hip Sing who had moved out of Chinatown. He died of his injuries.
The Hip Sings' response was to shoot dead Lee Yu, a senior On Leong and one of Tom Lee's cousins.
Seligman writes that this left the Hip Sings 'jubilant' as they thought they finally had the better of their rivals.
What proved to be a 'watershed' moment in the war was the massacre at the Chinese Theater on Doyers Street.
On August 6, 1905, several Hip Sing men entered Chinese Theater on Doyers Street and fired more than 100 bullets, executing four On Leongs and two civilians
The slaughter was shocking because it happened on what was considered neutral ground where On Leongs and Hip Sings could go and enjoy a play without the fear of violence.
On August 6, 1905, several Hip Sing men entered the theater during a performance of a Cantonese drama called 'The King's Daughter' and threw firecrackers on stage, causing the actors to flee.
During the chaos they opened fire and executed four On Leongs in a hail of more than 100 bullets that shattered windows and split benches.
Two civilians also died, showing that Chinatown was not safe for outsiders, including whites.
There were two who did it get away, though. The first was Sing Dock, who was known as the 'Scientific Killer' due to his forensic approach to murder. The other was Yee Toy, known as 'Girl Face' for his effeminate features.
The On Leongs did not even wait a week before seeking revenge and set upon Hop Lee, a laundryman who was a Hip Sing and friend of Mock Duck, with a meat cleaver.
Seligman writes: 'Hop had been asleep, police said later said, when five On Leongs forced his door, dragged him from his bed and stretched him out.
'They might have killed him with one blow but instead chose torture. The man wielding the cleaver delivered repeated blows to his body and his head. And in an act of pitiless savagery, he severed Hop Lee's nose from his face'.
Hop Lee lived long enough to identify two of his attackers.
As Seligman points out, New Yorkers had lived through gang wars before and knew one when they saw it.
The national press also took note and that theater massacre sparked endless features about how New York was in the midst of a crime wave.
Also among those becoming anxious was Shah Kai-Fu, the Chinese consul general in the US, who paid a call to the New York District Attorney to ask him to stop the warfare.
In 1909, conflict among the Tongs escalated over the murder of Bow Kum (left), a 21-year-old Chinese woman. She had fled enslavement in San Francisco and found a new lover, Chin Lem (right), before she was killed
During the coroner's inquest into the Chinese Theater massacre, Mock Duck gave evidence and claimed that he was nowhere near the property on the night.
Witnesses said they saw him there - he was arrested but posted bail and no charges were eventually brought.
A ceasefire signed in 1906 by both Tongs lasted three years until the most high-profile murder of all happened.
In 1909 the killing of Elsie Sigel, a 22-year-old white missionary, stopped most whites from going to Chinatown and once again changed how the city saw the Tong Wars.
Sigel was the granddaughter of a Civil War hero and was strangled with a curtain cord and dumped in a trunk above a chop suey restaurant.
Her decaying remains were found a week later.
The murder was said to be a crime of passion reportedly committed by a Chinese waiter called Leon Ling, with whom she had been having an affair against her parents' wishes - he was never apprehended.
That year, as Chinatown business struggled with 70 per cent less visitors than before, the conflict among the Tongs escalated over the murder of Bow Kum, a 21-year-old Chinese woman.
She was found in her bed having been slashed across her torso and gored twice in her heart with a 7-inch hunting knife.
She had fled enslavement in San Francisco to Lau Tong, a known murderer who was in the Four Brothers, another gang.
When Lau Tong heard she was in New York he confronted Chin Lem, an On Leong laundryman and her new lover, but he refused to pay $3,000 for her and would not hand her back. The details of the crime remain unsolved.
Tom Lee died on January 10, 1918, when he was 76 years old. Hundreds of people came out for his funeral
Seligman says that the killing led to an 'out-and-out war' between the Four Brothers and the On Leongs that broke out in September 1909 when a Four Brothers laundryman was shot outside the On Leong head office.
During the carnage two Four Brothers men in their 70s were shot dead in a room on Pell Street.
Next to die was Ah Hoon, a comic and an On Leong supporter who had in the past mocked the Hip Sings.
He was gunned down despite having a police escort as he feared for his life.
The killers waited until he was home and shot him as he left his front door to wash himself at the washstand across the hall.
In Tong Wars: The Untold Story of Vice, Money and Murder in New York's Chinatown Scott D Seligman gives a history of the gang-torn area
The violence lasted until 1911 and saw The Hip Sing aligned with the Four Brothers to take down the On Leongs, their old adversary.
A raid of an opium den on Seventh Avenue led officers to find letters that revealed a massive opium ring throughout major cities, which led the FBI to investigate.
The Third Tong War erupted in 1912, and by 1913 many of the gambling and opium dens were shut down, but that was not the end of the Tong Wars.
A fourth in 1925 when Chin Jack Lem, a senior On Leong, defected to the Hip Sings.
Shortly after a Hip Sing laundryman was shot dead in Brooklyn and in the days after there were similar reports of violence in Chinese communities in Pittsburgh, Boston, Philadelphia, Detroit and Milwaukee.
In New York, a 30-year-old On Leong and a 64-year-old On Leong were butchered; the latter had nearly been decapitated and his body was covered with 14 slash marks.
Fearing a return to the bloodshed of the early 20th Century Joab Banton, the New York County District Attorney, called in the federal government to start an unprecedented crackdown on Chinese immigrants.
During raids carried out over the next week or so, they arrested anyone who looked Chinese with little regard for their rights.
The crackdown worked and finally brought an end to the Tong Wars.
As Seligman writes: 'No other immigrant group had ever been targeted the way the authorities were going after the Chinese.
'Italian and Irish émigrés had fought their share of brutal gang wars, but nobody had ever rounded them up for wholesale expulsion.
'Yet this time, the government was acting as if the only way to bring peace to Chinatown were to get rid of its Chinese, through whatever means necessary.'

With the end of the ISIS war, Iraq is on the path of reconstruction and economic resurrection that calls for sustained investment to the tune of over $900 billion within the next decade, said an industry expert.
"Iraq plans to focus on the oil and gas downstream as well as minerals value chains, construction and infrastructure industries, healthcare, energy, tourism and financial services sectors to move the GDP growth rate by 10 per cent annually within the next decade," said Ali Mirmohammad, senior consultant – Iraq with growth partnership company Frost & Sullivan.
Mirmohammad was commenting on a new report titled "Assessment of Industry Sector Opportunities in Iraq" from Frost & Sullivan.
The report provides a broad overview of the current status of these high priority sectors, apart from providing a brief look into addressable opportunity areas.
According to the report, Iraq requires $30 billion of foreign direct investment (FDI) per year to achieve its reformation and stabilisation goals within the next 10 years.

A night of crash, bang, wallop at King's Lynn
PUBLISHED: 11:57 01 November 2017 | UPDATED: 11:57 01 November 2017
Thousands of fans descended on the Adrian Flux Arena in King's Lynn for the annual Halloween Carnival where thrills and spills on and off track kept everyone warm on a chilly night.
Southend's Tom Waller was in great form in the Unlimited Bangers, taking both the 25 and Under Championship of GB and the King of the Fens final.
In both races he was chased home by Callum Gill (King's Lynn), who finally claimed the chequered flag in the Allcomers, with Dave Vincent (Brandon) and Darren Fendley (King's Lynn) taking the other races.
The main talking point, though, came with the incredible level of action which took place throughout the night. Members of the Brighton Bears and southern-based Sowter/Filmer team were particularly impressive, trading blows throughout the night, whilst impressive individual displays came from the likes of Nicky Young (Wisbech) and Aston Burt (Southampton) – although the biggest wreck of the night went to Nathan Tupper whose Volvo was made a right mess after Ricki Finney (Sheffield) had followed Burt into it before Luke Maynard (Worthing) then went into the back of the stricken machine.
Dean Moat (Wisbech) finally got the best out of his new Fiesta-shaped 1300 Stock Car. The evolution car has proved problematic this season but Moat's perseverance paid off as he won the final on Sunday. The returning Mark Freeman (Wisbech) started things off with a fantastic win in the first heat before Beau Southgate won the second and then Allen Cooper (Huntingdon) ended up on top of a race-long battle with Lauren Overy (Soham) in the third. Connor Sheldrake (Norwich) also produced a great drive in the final to come home third.
Newly-crowned British champion Roy Gedge took the first heat in the Reliant Robins before Scott Russell raced to a heat and final double. The racing was littered with the trademark chaos for which this formula is famous, with every race seeing several drivers roll over! All formulas were on top form last Saturday – breathtaking action was the order of the day and the very large crowd went home delighted with the action.

Carson v. State ex rel., Wyo. Workers' Safety & Comp. Div.
Robert Carson and his passenger, Hugh Sharp, were involved in a car accident in which Carson sustained multiple injuries and Sharp was killed. Carson filed a claim for worker's compensation benefits. The Wyoming Workers' Safety and Compensation Division denied benefits, finding that Carson's injuries did not arise out of and in the course of his employment with Metrocities Mortgage, LLC. The Office of Administrative Hearings (OAH) upheld the denial of Carson's claim. Meanwhile, Sharp's widow filed a wrongful death action against Carson and Metrocities. After a trial, a federal jury entered judgment against Metrocities under the theory of respondeat superior, concluding that Carson was acting within the course of scope of his employment when the accident occurred. On the basis of the federal judgment, Carson submitted a motion to reopen his claim with the OAH, contending that there was newly discovered evidence he was acting within the course of his employment at the time of the accident. The OAH eventually affirmed its earlier decision. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding that the OAH did not err when it failed to apply collateral estoppel to the issue of whether Carson was in the course and scope of his employment at the time of his injury.View "Carson v.

PETALING JAYA: Following the recent death of a navy cadet who had allegedly been bullied, social media users have taken to Twitter to recount their own suffering at the hands of bullies.
The tweets came after PPBM Youth chief Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman, in a 60-second video, urged the online community to share their experiences.
Many of the victims spoke of being ragged as students newly enrolled in hostels.
A Twitter user who called herself Sweet Syifa wrote of ragging that involved stripping junior students of their clothing and verbally abusing them. She said she was told that the seniors did this because they viewed the juniors as siblings to be cared for.
Another user, JB, wrote: "Usually, the bullies are those who were bullied when they were juniors. It's a cycle."
Other users spoke of bullying that was not part of the ragging tradition. One of them recalled being punched in the chest and kicked around when he was in secondary school after he was mistaken for someone else. "But it's in the past," he said. "I'll let it be."
Laila Bahri said she had to put up with psychological abuse. One of the consequences of this was that she became lonely, she added. "I had to bear with judgemental people," she said. "I'm still traumatised."
Barry Allen said he was beaten and extorted for money when he was 12 years old. "Bystanders only watched when this happened."
Zulfarhan Osman Zulkarnain, a Malaysian National Defence University (UPNM) student, was pronounced dead upon arrival at the Serdang Hospital on June 1. He was taken there by several friends. About 80% of his body was covered in bruises and burn marks.
He had allegedly been bound and beaten because of a dispute over a stolen laptop. He was said to have been tortured with a belt, a rubber hose, a clothes iron and a shirt hanger on May 20 and 21.
Police immediately detained 36 students from two public universities.
Syed Saddiq urged more people to come forward to write of their experiences, saying he hoped such sharing would result in an end to ragging and bullying.
"Together, we must break this wall of silence because silence can actually lead to death," he said.

Maruti Suzuki Celerio AMT Auto Gear Shift Explained: Auto Expo 2014
All the details about the Maruti Suzuki Celerio AMT Auto gear Shift manual automatic transmission explained along with the usage specifrics
Maruti Suzuki introduced Celerio with the all new Auto Gear Shift transmission here today. Given the importance, Suzuki attaches to the Indian market, the new technology premiered in India while it may follow in other global markets.
Auto Gear Shift is Suzuki's newly developed automated manual transmission (AMT), equipped with the Intelligent Shift Control Actuator, an electric-hydraulic actuator that automatically performs clutch and shift operations. Auto Gear Shift combines the actuator and controller and directly mounts them in the transmission in order to unify the working components.
This permits synchronised control over the clutch, shifting, and engine for smoother gear changes. As well as bringing together the advantages of both manual and automatic transmissions, shifting time is shortened compared to conventional AMTs.
Salient Features
a) Excellent fuel efficiency: As the basic structure is a manual transmission, its fuel efficiency is equivalent to the manual transmission. Also, optimal gearshift operation controlled by the computer helps improve fuel efficiency.
b) Easy driving: Because clutch pedal and gearshift operations by the driver are not necessary, and thanks to the creep function at the start, Auto Gear Shift makes driving easy even when parking and during traffic congestion.
c) Fun driving: Manual mode can be selected to enjoy driving, enabling the driver to shift gears at will, just like a manual transmission. Delivers fun driving from the synergetic effect with direct drive feeling of a manual transmission.
Knowing Auto Gear Shift
The gearbox is neatly labelled where "N" stands for Neutral, "D" is for Drive, "R" denotes Reverse, "M" means Manual mode. In Manual mode, there are options of "+" to upshift gears and "-" which is used to downshift the gears.
Switching on
Ensure the car is in neutral. The brake pedal is pressed. Crank on the engine (if the car is not in Neutral and the brake pedal is not pressed, the car will not start. This is to ensure safety)
Drive Mode
The user presses the brake pedal and puts the gear lever in Drive 'D' position. The car sets in motion by virtue of Creep function with the release of the brake.
The speed of the car can be changed by pressing or releasing the accelerator pedal as per requirement.
In Drive "D" mode the most appropriate gear is automatically selected by the Auto Gear Shift system, based on the operation of the accelerator pedal and vehicle speed. With the increase in speed, the car moves up to a higher gear, highest being the 5th gear.
Optimum vehicle performance and fuel economy is obtained by smoothly/ lightly pressing and releasing the accelerator pedal. Aggressive pressing of the accelerator pedal will result in gear shifting at higher engine RPM which may adversely impact the fuel economy.
Manual Mode
To add to the flexibility, this Auto Gear Shift transmission also offers a Manual mode. For shifting to Manual mode, one has to simply shift the gear lever to "M" position.
Gear shifting is achieved by pushing the lever to the "+" and "-" for upshifting and downshifting respectively. Even while driving, the drive mode can be shuffled between "D" and "M" modes.
Stopping the car
Pressing the brake reduces the speed of the car. The gears shift down automatically. When the vehicle comes to a complete halt, press the brake pedal and shift the lever to "N", Neutral.
It is crucial to check the position of the gear in the display on the instrument cluster to ensure it is in Neutral. Switch off the engine and engage parking brake.
which type of clutch is used in AMT system in maruti suzuki celerio either centrifugal clutch or semi-centrifugal clutch
In the uphill gradient suppose AMT car is off and to be started. If we switch on with holding brake can be rise acclerator. if we leave the break car moves back. what to do in such case?
Great explanation. Is there a way to change at what speed gear shift occurs?

Passau to Prague
Prague, the Czech Republic's beautiful capital, has become one of Europe's favorite destinations since 1989, when democracy returned after forty-four years of communism. This 250-mile drive starts on the River Danube in picturesque Passau, Germany, then climbs wooded hills before reaching what used to be one of the world's most unwelcoming frontiers between Philippsreut and Strazny. Today, ladies of easy virtue share the roadside with stalls selling plastic gnomes.
We visit three Czech towns whose UNESCO World Heritage Site status ranks them with the Taj Mahal and the Great Wall of China. In Cesky Krumlov, the castle's painted tower looks like a psychedelic rocket, and bears patrol the rocky moat. A landscape dappled with lakes and forests undulates northeastward to Telc. There, the narrow medieval gateway leads to a huge cobblestoned square framed by an exquisite assortment of buildings in a riot of shapes and colors.
One must dodge potholes while driving to Kutn Hora. In the Middle Ages, silver mining made it one of Europe's wealthiest towns. The great Gothic cathedral is approached along an avenue where statues of saints contrast with skulls and crossed bones. Inside, medieval frescoes depict coins being made of silver while angels hover.
Street names that seem to have been formed by playing Scrabble in the dark are among the challenges in Prague. Hotel Pariz has secure parking and is within easy walking distance of the Staromestske square, whose splendor helps explain why central Prague is another World Heritage Site. Towers soar above baroque buildings that are all swags and swages, cherubs, copper domes, and ornate metalwork.
Shops sell beautiful marionettes, a Czech speciality, and concerts cater to all musical tastes. Enjoy both at the Prague Opera Marionette Theatre. Mozart loved Prague, where his Marriage of Figaro was first hailed as a masterpiece, but the king's wife is said to have shouted, "German hogwash!" on hearing his last opera.
Wilder Mann, Passau (011-49- 851-3-5071; www.wilder-mann. com). The characterful old town's oldest hotel.
Ruze, Cesky Krumlov (011- 420-380-772- 100; www. hotelruze.cz). Memorable views.
Celerin, Telc (011- 420-567-243- 477; www. hotelcelerin.cz). Great location; excellent value.
Hotel Pariz, Prague (011-420-222-195-195; www.hotel-pariz.cz). Art nouveau ambience.
Do visit Passau's fabulously ornate baroque cathedral, where the world's largest organ has 17,774 pipes.
Do contact Evzen Majoros at www.old-timers.cz, and arrange to explore Prague in one of his vintage cars.
Don't try to speak Czech before drinking some of the country's excellent beer.
Eat & drink
Restaurant Passauer Wolf, Passau (011-49- 851-9-31-5110). Views of the brown-not blue-Danube.
Black Eagle, Telc (011-420-567-243-222). Soup, trout, schnitzel in the beautiful old town's heart.
Fleku Pub, Prague (011-420-224-934-01920; www. ufleku.cz). Bar, restaurant, and historic brewery.

What we drove
Muscular, high-tech turbo-diesels are popular in Europe for their very low fuel consumption. We used a top-of-the-range Audi A3 with the refined 2.0-liter TDI engine (140 hp, 236 lb-ft) and a six-speed gearbox. The long-legged hatchback cruised at a virtually silent 100 mph on the autobahn. Wood, leather, and chrome made the Audi seem like a compact limo.

I used Brusho colourwash for the 3 backgrounds
The lovely trees are in Chocolate Baroque plates Fat Robin, Frosty Trees and New England Winter
You can find the sentiments stamps in Let's Get Festive plate
For stamping I used Distress Ink Pad Pine Needles, Fossilized Amber, Moved Lawn
Stickles gold and crystal for some shine on the trees
Stencil and Embossing paste.
I wish you all a very Merry Christmas and see you again before the end of this year.

What is a NAMA and which opportunities does it provide for Viet Nam?
NAMAs refer to any action initiated by the government that reduces emissions in developing and transition countries. Thereby, ́action` includes policies, strategies or preparatory and capacity building for measures which will result in reduced greenhouse gas emissions in the context of sustainable development. Respective initiatives are either focused on one sector, or are conceptualized across sectors for a broader national focus. NAMAs are supported and enabled by technology, financing, and capacity building on the part of industrialized countries and are aimed at achieving an emission reduction relative to a business-as-usual scenario by 2020.
NAMAs can significantly contribute to implement low-carbon development strategies and one country ́s NDC. The UNFCCC categorizes NAMAs in four types: targets, strategies, policy and programs and projects. Thereby, a policy NAMA is more directed towards transformational change, whereas the immediate outcome of a concrete mitigation project might be easier to evaluate.
NAMAS in the Vietnamese context
The Vietnamese government is willing to implement mitigation actions, such as NAMAs, and has encouraged its ministries and sectors as well as provincial governments to develop NAMAs. However, the concept of NAMAs (including MRV) is still new, and institutional arrangements and legal instruments remain challenging for project developers and implementers at various levels. Although Viet Nam has identified several NAMA options in different sectors, barriers and gaps remain, and measures undertaken so far are barely at readiness stage.
Viet Nam has developed and approved a lot of strategies and action plans in the context of climate change and sustainable development recently. In its technical report to the INDC, Viet Nam has determined the relationship of NAMAs, (I)NDCs and the Green Growth Strategy (GGS). Accordingly, NAMAs are considered as short- and medium-term actions which support to operationalize the (I)NDC. The GGS, in turn, is a national long-term strategy for climate-friendly socio-economic growth.
Hence, NAMAs are considered to be specific activities to achieve the more general NDC targets within frameworks of long‐term national plans and strategies in a sustainable manner. From this point of view, NAMAs will continue to be implemented as a part of the NDC after 2020.
NAMAS: A chance for Viet Nam
Significant mitigation action is required in Viet Nam to achieve its climate targets, and to raise ambitions with regard to the forthcoming NDC update. NAMAs can serve as a means to design target-orientated solutions, and to create synergies when tackling climate change mitigation in Viet Nam. In specific, they offer the chance for:
- Financial Support, in particular Access to Climate Finance
- Mobilizing Private Sector Engagement
- Increased International Cooperation
- Setting up a Transparency Framework
- Enhancing Country Ownership of Mitigation Projects
- Achieving Co-Benefits
- Harmonizing Targets in an Efficient Manner

Panthers' Sale To Billionaire David Tepper Approved Unanimously By NFL Owners
The Carolina Panthers have been sold to billionaire hedge fund manager David Tepper, the team announced. Tepper was approved unanimously by NFL owners at the league's spring meetings on Tuesday in Atlanta.
The sale price will be $2.2 billion in cash, and $75 million deferred, as approved by the NFL finance committee, and won't be officially closed until July.
"Bringing the Panthers and the NFL to the Carolinas in 1993 was enormously fulfilling for Rosalind and me and all of our partners," Panthers founder Jerry Richardson said. "We are deeply grateful for the outpouring of support over the last 25 years. You have taken the Panthers into your hearts and made them part of this warm and supportive community."
The purchase price would be a record for an NFL franchise, topping the $1.4 billion Terry Pegula paid for the Buffalo Bills in 2014.
"I am thrilled to have been selected to be the next owner of the Carolina Panthers. I have learned a great deal about the community and the team over the past several months and look forward to becoming part of the Carolinas," Tepper said. "I want to thank Jerry Richardson and the other Panthers partners for all they have done to establish and develop the NFL in the Carolinas. It has been a remarkable 25-year journey and I promise to build upon the Panthers' success on the field and in the community."
Tepper, 60, is also a Pittsburgh Steelers minority owner and founded the Miami Beach, Fla.–based global firm Appaloosa Management in the 1990's.
The Panthers went up for sale after SI reported on December 17 that Richardson and the team made multiple confidential payouts for workplace misconduct, including sexual harassment and use of a racial slur with a team scout.

Firestorm over faulty accounts is just beginning
Press reports indicate that the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency has discovered that 40 financial institutions have been opening new consumer accounts without consent. The OCC has also said that it does not plan to release the names of these institutions, and that the matter is being handled administratively.
Because the names are not being released, there are several bank CEOs who are, or should be, breathing a sigh of relief. The fallout from such activity would likely be intense, particularly given that this activity allegedly continued to occur even after Wells Fargo was publicly excoriated and fined for such activity.
But banks that believe that the OCC's protection will be enough to shield them from being publicly disclosed are deluding themselves: The press, plaintiff's attorneys, consumers, members of Congress and state attorneys general will be aggressive in trying to identify these institutions.
Disclosure is simply a matter of time. Banks should consider acting proactively before someone else does it for them.
Further, institutions should understand that the circumstances of their case will not protect them from criticism — when the story starts to break, they will be lucky to get a word in edgewise, so relying on facts to differentiate their activity from Wells will not be enough to avoid intense scrutiny.
The firestorm from disclosure is going to be even more intense for those first few institutions that are made public — they are going to bear all the brunt of this outrage, no matter what the circumstances surrounding their participation are.
Therefore, all of the institutions that find themselves on the wrong end of this potential firestorm should have a plan in place to address the outcry that they will face.
This plan should focus on two aspects. First is the response itself: what the company did, and what it is doing to address the problems identified by the OCC. Getting the whole truth out as quickly as possible should be a major focus.
Second, and just as important, is having an operational plan in place to mitigate the consumer harm that may have occurred. As we learned from the Equifax, Target and Wells Fargo experiences, how a company responds to a crisis may be as important to managing the resulting fallout as the problem itself. Having a response plan in place that stresses consumer protection will help take the pressure off, while a dysfunctional plan will cause the problem to linger and may generate additional problems.
Companies that are not prepared are likely to find themselves with an almost total inability to respond, and they may be forced to take steps to respond that go well beyond what a prepared company would have to do. For example, the first few institutions that are disclosed can expect calls for the CEO and other senior leaders to be fired; calls for stock and deposit divestiture; lawsuits; congressional hearings, state AG investigations and calls for fines that mirror the $1 billion penalty that Wells Fargo faced for similar activity. Trying to mitigate this without an aggressive plan in place is going to be fruitless.
Financial institutions that are caught up in this should learn from the lessons of Wells Fargo and Equifax — get the truth out and have a functional mitigation plan in place. It is easier to protect yourself from the wave than it is to fix the broken pieces.

Blazer: Vintage via my mom, Button up: J Crew Mens (via Plato's Closet), Jeans: Levi's, Heels: Michael Antonio (via Endless), Rings: GiftedYou've seen these heels a lot (here, here & here). They're one of my favorite pairs of shoes and go with almost everything. I paired them with the boyfriend jeans that you've seen many time before (here & here) to give this casual look a more polished feel.
This camel blazer is one of my favorite hand me downs from my mom, (seen here & here) I love that I'm wearing it during the same time in my life (post college, pre kids) as she was. I wish she'd kept more photos from when she was in her 20s, I have a feeling she was rocking some fierce fashions.
The only item in this look that's unblogged is the JCrew men's button up that I scored at Plato's Closet for under $5 about a million years ago. It's long enough to wear it over leggings and has the perfect amount of pink striping. I'm not sure what prompted me to tuck in just the front but I'm kinda liking the whole mullet look.
What pieces do you find yourself wearing over and over again?

Pianos on the Street

NES Classic Update: Nintendo Switch No More Shortage; Coming March 2017 Massive Units Will Be Released
With the currently concluded Nintendo event, which highlighted their forthcoming hybrid console there truly is an assurance that the Nintendo Switch is really fantastic. However after viewing the Nintendo event through a live stream and playing around with the new console, most fans and the media had questions, particularly as to the console's production number. Luckily, Nintendo of America President and Chief operating Officer Reggie Fils-Aime was there to clear things up.
Nintendo didn't release enough NES Classic systems into the market, which made enthusiast ask if they would do similar to the Nintendo Switch. When asked about what he anticipates as far as the quantity of Nintendo Switch consoles that Nintendo will have the capacity to release in 2017, this is what Fils-Aime stated: "What we've clarified openly is that there will be around 2 million units that will be sent worldwide for the up and coming March 3 launch, basically through the first month."
Fils-Aime has read the sheets and read the remarks about the developing concern with respect to supply. From what he read, the worry appears to root from the absence of capacity to purchase the NES Classic. So this is the thing that he needed to state to cut the pressure: two million units for the first month. That alone is as of now a massive number, particularly when you consider this is not yet peak season.
Reggie Fils-Aime Explains the NES Classic Shortages, and Nintendo Switch Supply Plans #nintendoswitch #NES #Nintendo https://t.co/i3JYPh0Dim pic.twitter.com/coDk9uxIIf
— Charles (@Emabulator) January 17, 2017
2 million units only for the initial three weeks of March. Fils-Aime and Nintendo are ensuring that the customer who needs to purchase a Nintendo Switch can purchase a Nintendo Switch. "That is the means by which we provide our store, that is the means by which we thoroughly consider the measure of an item that is accessible," Fils-Aime included.
https://t.co/cHOKl7dOxW : #NESClassic #Switch - #Major Update on 'Nintendo NES Classic' Supply Shortage: #Will 'Nintendo Switch' pic.twitter.com/3Bat052EZ0 — DeCoo (@DeCoo17) January 17, 2017
What occurred with the NES Classic was a circumstance where the worldwide request or demand was anything that Nintendo had expected, which was what made shortages. The uplifting news now is that the company is ensuring that there will be no complains at all in regards to shortages with the Nintendo Switch once it finally takes off.

text: Gleason is a mobile defender who skates very well and stood out every time he touched the ice for Hamilton this season. A cousin of NHLer Tim Gleason, he looks confident and in control at the point, pulling the puck in closer to his body and pivoting to the center of the ice to get into a shooting lane and unload his heavy slap shot. A strong and balanced skater, Gleason could work on his transitions from backward to forward. He has good footwork to escape trouble with the puck, taking quick steps to generate some speed and get away from the check. He is not afraid to throw his weight around and can lay a big check when warranted. He gets his stick in the way of passes in order to break up plays. Gleason puts in the effort to catch the puck carrier after the puck gets transitioned by the opposition, quickly gaining good position on the attacker. He sees the ice very well in transition and anticipates lanes developing, seaming excellent neutral-zone passes on the tape of his target. His pinches are typically timed correctly and are effective, showing his offensive mindset as he picks his spots to jump into the play and make an offensive impact. He defends well, getting his stick in the way and adjusts his speed accordingly. Gleason reads and reacts well to incoming plays, showing great decision-making. He has shown that he has the ability to be a difference-maker on the back end. (May 2016)

'Love, labor, pride in box'
Honorable Mention
MANILA, Philippines–For many years, I have sent balikbayan boxes to family members in the Philippines from the United States. When I decided to retire in the Philippines years ago, I have used the balikbayan box to ship my personal effects to my hometown in Ilocos Sur province. I found this service to be cheaper and more practical.
Now I am part of the receiving end of the ubiquitous balikbayan box sent by siblings. In it would be bags and bags of chocolate candies bought after Easter or after Halloween when they are on sale for up to 75-percent off, cases of Spam and Vienna sausage, jars of Taster's Choice freeze dried coffee, large canisters of coffee creamer, Irish Spring bar soaps, packets of Swiss Miss cocoa powder, packets of instant oatmeal, etc., expertly packed and padded with used clothes, with every space filled to maximize the no-weight limit and very reasonable shipping costs. Just like the chocolate candies, all of the other items were purchased at various times when they were on sale and saved until the balikbayan box is filled to the rim before it is shipped. By the time the balikbayan box is full, the contents would have cost at least $200!
In one of the balikbayan boxes sent by one brother, who is an avid fisherman in Imperial Beach, California, among the contents were fish bagoong (fermented fish) packed in a sturdy plastic 5-gallon jug, several jars of Tome-style sardines, a honing stone, a fish fillet knife and a big bag of macadamia nuts from his tree. The fish bagoong and canned sardines were the results of his numerous experiments. Finally, he perfected the formula for the preparation of a very typical Ilocano condiment and uncovered the secret in preparation Tome-style sardines, a taste that we have always enjoyed when we were younger but can't taste in any of the canned sardines sold in grocery stores. Without offense to my other siblings, these items came closest to my heart.
In the balikbayan box are not only the material goods it contains, but most importantly is the sharing by the sender of the love, sacrifice, labor and pride that go with it.

Aviation experts are saying that the volcanic plume has caused the worst travel disruption Europe — and the world — has ever seen, except during wars.
Anxious passengers have told stories of missed weddings, graduations, school and holidays because of the current situation and some world leaders canceled plans to attend Sunday's state funeral for Polish President Lech Kaczynski and his wife Maria in the southern city of Krakow.
So at the moment most of northern and central Europe's airspace has been shut down, affecting airports from New Zealand to San Francisco.
Today, the French prime minister extended the closure of airspace in northern France until Monday morning. British airspace is closed until at least 0600 GMT Sunday, and forecasters said the ash cloud would progressively cover the whole of the U.K. later Saturday. British Airways is canceling all short-haul flights to and from London airports Sunday.
There always seems to be from a black cloud a silver lining, there has been a huge rush on ferry and Eurostar bookings from the U.K. to the Mainland Europe as passengers rushed to book a ride on ferries, in rental cars or taxis. P&O Ferries said its ferry services from France's Calais to Britain's Dover were overbooked and there was no space left on their ferries for foot passengers, whilst dozens of people have called in to ask about trans-Atlantic crossings to New York aboard the Queen Mary 2 cruiser.
There are more implications due to the flight ban. Shoppers were warned today that continued flight bans could spark shortages of imported fresh fruit and vegetables. Until now there are no shortages yet, but exotic fruit and flowers as well as other products which are usually flown in could be in very short supply.
The Belgian and Swiss governments extended their ban until Saturday evening. Italian aviation authorities were closing airspace in northern Italy on Saturday until 1800 GMT. Spain's Iberia airline is canceling most of its European flights until further notice. In the Nordics, air space in the central and southern parts of the region was expected to remain closed at least until Sunday afternoon.
At least 45 flights between Europe and Asia were canceled Saturday. Australia's Qantas canceled all flights to Europe, and passengers were being offered refunds or seats on the next available flight.
The European air navigation safety agency Eurocontrol says that only some 5,000 flights will take place in Europe on Saturday compared to 22,000 in normal circumstances. On Friday, U.S. airlines canceled 280 of the more than 330 trans-Atlantic flights of a normal day. The International Air Transport Association says the volcano is costing the industry at least $200 million a day.
In Iceland, torrents of water have carried away chunks of ice the size of small houses. Sections of the country's main ring road were wiped out by the flash floods. More floods from melting waters are expected as long as the volcano keeps erupting — and in 1821, the same volcano managed to erupt for more than a year, let's hope that history doesn't repeat itself or we will be in for a summer of air travel chaos.

Last Thursday night I had dinner with my friends Jen and Mez and their kids Matilda and Otto (and others) which was really nice. They are friends from Brisbane who now live in Edinburgh but were down in London visiting family and friends. Matilda has recently finished her first year of school (I remember when Jen and Mez got together and when Jen told me she was pregnant with Matilda) – wow how time flies. Paul and I got lots of cuddles from the very boisterous, two-year-old Otto which was very cute (even though he stank of beer after knocking over Jen's cousin's beer all over himself and Jen)!
Saturday afternoon and evening was spent around Soho at Pride and Sunday was spent at home – it was rainy and depressing. Paul and I played three games of Magic and I lost all of them! Boo hoo.
On Monday night Paul and I went to Craft Night at the Notting Hill Arts Club with Bella (from my work). We made spectacles which was a lot of fun and I didn't win a prize but my fabulous sun/rain spectacles did get a mention from the judge! Hopefully I'll get Bella's photos from her soon.
On Tuesday night I went to the ICA with Helen, Jess and Lucy to see the French documentary Her Name is Sabine. It was made by a French actress about her sister with autism. It was very good and Jess and I cried a lot. They had footage of Sabine in her teens and twenties and she was so vibrant and articulate and then to see her so withdrawn, years later, after years in an institution was very sad.
Tonight, Wednesday, Paul and I are going to a talk at the Queen Elizabeth Hall at the Southbank Centre as part of the Hayward Gallery's 40th birthday celebrations. Speakers include Antony Gormley, Anish Kapoor and Dennis Crompton.
On Saturday morning the ICA is having a members' morning so I'll probably go along and have a look at the new exhibition with a bunch of other members before the general public come in!
On Saturday night I'm going to another talk at the Southbank Centre (they are currently hosting the London Literature Festival) by Alan Moore and Melinda Gebbie and on Monday night I might go see a film about Christianity and homosexuality – I think it's about a bunch of gay Christians and I'm worried that I might just spend the whole time thinking 'why don't these people just leave Christianity – they'd be much better off?' After the film there's a talk between Ian McKellen and a gay bishop.
I have been reading the Science-based Medicine blog recently. It's really good. And Paul has started blogging again recently too!
Tuesday night is the feminist book club and I'm less than halfway through the book for it. Better get reading!
