A report by US-based IT professional network Spiceworks has revealed the rise of digital assistants in the workplace.
Artificial intelligent (AI) chatbots and voice-activated devices are becoming more commonplace in homes, smartphones and even in the cars, so it’s inevitable that this budding technology is gaining traction in the office too.
Chatbots are already used by organisations to respond to customer requests and resolve common problems without the need for human interaction. On a larger scale, smart systems are now also being implemented to autonomously fulfil orders and arrange deliveries.
Meanwhile, smartphone users are able to use built-in digital assistants to set up events, dictate emails and even switch on other devices to help ease their workload.
To build a better picture of this trend, Spiceworks surveyed more than 500 IT professionals across North America and Europe to investigate how chatbots and intelligent assistants are being used in the working environment.
Spiceworks found that 40% of large business expect to implement this technology by 2019, while 24% have already implemented one or more AI chatbot or intelligent assistant for work-related tasks.
Among SMBs, which often do not have the resources to pursue emerging technologies, around 15% of organisations have installed it on corporate-owned devices, while 10% plan to do so in the next 12 months.
Despite the prevalence of Amazon’s Alexa in the home, the report found that Microsoft’s Cortana was the most popular digital assistant in the workplace, with 49% of those using the technology opting for the software which is already integrated into Windows 10. However, Apple’s Siri – which is integrated into iOS and macOS – followed closely behind with 47% and the Google Assistant was third at 23%. Alexa is bottom of the pile at 13%, in spite of its popularity with consumers.
But developers of operating systems are not the only ones rolling out the technology, programmes such as Microsoft Teams and Slack now offer their own integrated AI chatbots, used by 14% of those surveyed.
With so many on offer, only 2% of companies are investing in custom alternatives, but as the technology improves more are expected to explore the option of developing their own, with 10% planning to implement a tailored AI system in the next year.
By far the most common task assigned to voice assistants in the workplace is typing with voice dictation, chosen by 46% of respondents using the technology.
Meanwhile, 26% were using it for team collaboration and 24% for employee calendar management. 14% had utilised it for customer service purposes and 13% for IT help desk management tasks.
Most experts, however, think the biggest benefit for any organisation and its staff will be the ability to delegate mundane and time-consuming jobs to digital assistants, freeing up the human workforce to pursue more creative and rewarding tasks. The ‘brain power’ of AI also allows it to rapidly process and analyse vast amounts of data, outperforming its biological colleagues in that respect.
But chatbots are not perfect. As novel as the technology may seem, companies still see room for improvement. 59% of respondents said their assistants often misunderstood the nuances of human dialogue, while 30% said it frequently executed inaccurate commands. Another 29% reported difficulty understanding accents. Crucially, 23% said their devices are often unable to distinguish its owner’s voice from co-workers, proving to be a problem in crowded offices.
The survey also asked the 70% of respondents who had yet to adopt the technology to explain their reasons. Among these businesses, 50% said there was currently a lack of use cases, while 29% cited security and privacy concerns. 25% said the cost was off-putting and 19% said they were concerned the devices would be detrimental to user productivity.
Overall, 60% of organisations are not planning to invest in the technology any time soon.

South Africa scored 138 runs and India took two wickets by close of play on fourth day to set up an absolute potboiler of a last day with the hosts needing 320 runs to win the first Test at Wanderers Stadium in Johannesburg.
After bowling India out for 421 runs in the post lunch session, South Africa built a strong first wicket partnership of 109 runs between captain Graeme Smith (44) and Alviro Petersen (76*). The Indians did not seem to have an answer to the duo as the Proteas threatened to take the game away from the visitors. But then, Smith fell trying to take a tight single, thanks to a stunning direct hit from Ajinkya Rahane.
Hasim Amla (4), the next man in, seemed to have been hounded by bad luck in the second inning too. He was bowled out in a bizarre fashion while trying to duck after misjudging the bounce on the pitch. Not rising as much as Amla expected it to, the ball crashed into the off stump.
Faf du Plessis was playing unbeaten at 10 at the end of day’s play.
Before they came out to bat, South Africa kept a tight grip on the match, with none of the Indian batsmen being able to cut loose on the fourth day.
Jacques Kallis bowled a fantastic spell of swing bowling to give the Proteas a crucial toehold. Kallis got rid of Cheteshwar Pujara (153) first, breaking a huge partnership of 222 between him and Virat Kohli (96) in the process.
The next wicket - that of Rohit Sharma (6) - was pure magic. The ball kept low, jagged wildly in and shattered the wickets.
In the next over, JP Duminy finally got a wicket when he snared Kohli four runs shy of his second ton in the match. Kohli was done in by extra bounce, edging the ball to the keeper.
MS Dhoni and Ajinkya Rahane then came together to try and stitch together a partnership. The two had put up 31 runs when Duminy struck again, making the Delhi lad edge one to Graeme Smith at first slip.
Almost right after lunch, R Ashwin drilled it straight to Faf du Plesis at cover, jeopardising the counterattack.
Dhoni tried to lead the charge and bring some aggression into his game but he fell cheap too. The skipper tried to hit a short delivery off Philander out of the park, but ended up sending the ball straight to deep point, departing for 29.
The Indian innings would have collapsed after Dhoni’s dismissal but for a late flourish off the bat of Zaheer Khan. Khan batted fearlessly, taking on the pace of Dale Steyn and the rest of the Proteas bowling lineup, hitting the only two sixes of the match so far.
Interestingly, Khan’s cameo with the bat was not the only role reversal in the match. This match was the first Test where the wicket-keepers of both the teams bowled.
AB de Villiers had the last over before tea on Thursday and on Friday, MS Dhoni took off his keeping gear with four overs left in the day. He bowled two of them. However, nothing dramatic happened in either.
With the cracks on the pitch getting bigger and the bounce increasingly becoming unpredictable, the last day of play will be interesting. Play starts at 2pm, IST.

The last time I stepped foot under the Casa Manana dome I must have been eight or nine years old. It was a production of what most people consider to be Song of the South (Disney's version), the stories about Brer Rabbit, his briar patch, the tar baby, Brer Fox and Brer Bear, and it was on a stage that was then in-the-round. I had vivid memories of that show from so many years ago, ones that put Casa on a pedestal when I thought of our local theatre scene here in DFW. How ironic that the theatre presented the same show this past spring.
Fast forward two decades later and Casa Manana is not the place I remember it to be. It's better.
Now in the second year back on their home turf after fourteen years of renovations, the Casa crew kicks off their 2011-2012 season with Harper Lee's coming-of-age classic To Kill a Mockingbird. Lee's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel is continually a force to be reckoned with in regard to its themes of innocence and courage, but even more so the aggressive themes of ignorance, prejudice and equality, and one man's fight against the status quo.
For those who need to brush up on their literature, the story follows Jem and Scout, siblings growing up in the fictional town of Maycomb, Alabama. Throughout the summer, with their friend Dill, the children are fascinated by and terrorize each other with rumors of Boo Radley, the town recluse.
Meanwhile, Jem and Scout's father Atticus Finch, a middle-aged lawyer, is assigned to defend a young black man who is accused of assaulting a white woman. Though the case is hopeless and incurs plenty of unwanted anxiety for him and his family, Finch's actions represent the small beginnings of the town's movement toward acceptance within their community.
Finally, it's through Scout's eyes that we see the people of Maycomb evolve and, simultaneously, we recognize her own gradual loss of innocence and increased awareness as she begins to see people for who they really are, both the good and bad. Heeding her father's advice, Scout learns to "walk in the other person's shoes", and she is taught to embrace and accept others for their differences.
Christopher Sergel's adaption to the stage is an intrepid rendering of the book in two very distinctive parts. Act I focuses solely on the children and their summer adventures pestering the mysterious Boo Radley and trying to curb their curiosity. Act II takes the audience into the Maycomb courthouse, witnessing the trial and aftermath of Tom Robinson, the man Finch is appointed to defend.
In terms of pacing, Act I feels disjointed in some scenes due to the quick transition from summer to summer. Act II holds more strength to it considering the extensive courtroom scene for Robinson's trial. The conglomeration of townspeople from different walks of life exemplifies the differences in people's prejudices toward each other based on race and social class. It's an unparalleled scene that is skillfully delivered by the cast of characters.
In the role of Atticus Finch, Ira David Wood III embodies the genteel protagonist in his physicality, voice and demeanor, and gives a commanding performance. Wood's onstage relationship with the younger cast members is endearing and his role as a protector over the children and his client Tom Robinson is instinctive rather than dramatized.
Wood's shining moment comes in his deliverance of the closing statement during the courtroom scene in Act II. A phenomenal speech, his plea to the jury is filled with passion and a contained rage for true justice to be served.
At the tender age of eleven, Morgan Richards plays Scout with an inquisitive and vibrant disposition. Richards knows how to commandeer the stage and is far from being swallowed up by the set or lost in the subject matter of the script. Though the weighty issues of the town fall on the shoulders of her father, Scout's reactions and her understanding of current events is important to convey to the audience, and Richards does a splendid job of portraying that aspect.
Rounding out the young cast of characters is David Allen Norton as Jem, Scout's older brother, and Aiden Langford as Dill, the sibling's mischievous summertime friend. Jem is unusually protective and supportive of his sister, and Norton fits the role perfectly.
Langford tends to attract the spotlight with a larger than life personality that shows onstage, but the character of Dill is exuberant and quirky enough to fit Langford's personality, proving to be a good casting decision.
The children, in general, look completely at home on the stage - more like an avant-garde playground they get to run around on every night. At times they are difficult to understand due to the dialect and a few rushed lines but regardless, they are professional, and aware of their surroundings and the mood within the production. It's a pleasure to see a fine group of young actors that are up and coming.
Among the long list of key players a few in particular stand out in this remarkable cast. M. Denise Lee gives a stellar performance as the Finch's housekeeper Calpurnia. An authoritative and mother figure for Jem and Scout, the character Cal stays under the radar for the majority of her time on stage but a few choice moments draws your attention to some serious talent Ms. Lee possesses. Her sorrowful refrain in the aftermath of Tom Robinson's trial is beautiful and haunting.
James Dybas and Anastasia Munoz as the father/daughter plaintiffs in the Robinson trial, Bob and Mayella Ewell, represent a completely different class of citizen. Their walk, their stance and rugged appearance immediately stereotype their social status as indigent residents in Maycomb. Both Dybas and Munoz are shrewd in their approach to the characters and are well disliked by the courtroom participants on stage and the audience.
In a brief appearance, Van Quattro as the allusive Boo Radley successfully disarms the audience as his character does Scout. After all the hype and mystery surrounding Boo's existence, Quattro comes onstage as a gentle giant and is easily embraced as one of the symbolical mockingbirds.
Donna Marquet's set design is nearly a blank slate aside from the rising set of steps and levels that pinnacle to stage right where a small rotating, curved wall serves as the Finch residence. A few mobile wooden fences are pieced around the stage and moved about by the townspeople to build or remove boundaries incorporated into a scene.
Outlining the set are two embellished trees fashioned by oversized, long flat panels that look more like a piece of artwork than part of the set, and the end result is impressive. Marquet's backdrop is blank as well and uses the lighting to affect changes on stage.
As lighting designer, Brian Bembridge uses his talent to the fullest and creates a picture-perfect scene in which the actors can work. His use of shadows and an unconventional but well-arranged drop of a physical lamplight show originality and an eye for transforming an empty stage into a dark-lit forest or sunrise on an open plain.
Jennifer Ables' costuming is rural and fitting for the period of the Great Depression, including a few staple pieces such as Scout's overalls or Judge Taylor's wig and cape.
The sound design by Sarah Pickett is superb, from the pre-recorded material to the ambience created by sounds of nature. Due to the dome structure of the building, the acoustics are impeccable and Casa somehow perfects the art of surround sound for live theatre.
An incredible cast and unforgettable production, orchestrated by Director Wendy Dann, To Kill a Mockingbird plays at Casa Ma?ana one final weekend before a three-week hiatus. For the first time ever the theatre has partnered with Dallas Center Theater, and the show will be up and running once more from October 21st-November 20th (with Jeremy Webb recently announced to star as Atticus Finch).
Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays at 7:30pm; Fridays & Saturdays at 8:00pm, and Saturdays and Sundays at 2:00spm.

I mentioned in my March To Do List post that one of my aims for the month was to sort out my Spring Capsule Wardrobe. So far I’ve done an Autumn and Winter Capsule which have both worked reasonably well. There have been some stand out pieces in both of these which have kept me cosy and warm in the harsh British weather, and I didn’t find it too difficult to transition from one to the other, as all I needed were a couple of bits of knitwear. However the change from Winter to Spring is much more apparent. Although the weather is not yet boiling, it is certainly set to get a lot warmer than it has been recently. Spring calls for more lightweight pieces which can be layered, or a lightweight knit that can be worn alone or with a denim jacket.
I jotted down all of my ideas for my Spring capsule, what I already have and what I might need to add in. I also considered what events I had coming up within the next 3 months. Predominantly these events are finishing Uni and Holidays. On one hand I will be knee deep in coursework, my dissertation and an exam so I will need comfy day-to-day clothes for that- which I already have plenty of. On the other hand within this time frame it will be my 21st, so I’ll want to dress nicely for that, and I’m off to Lanzarote and to Rome. Therefore I need to ensure I have enough holiday pieces for the warmer weather abroad. Neither occasion will be high season so I will still need a jacket or longer sleeves or my legs covered in the evenings. Having looked at my summer capsule which has been put away, some pieces work well for what I need, whilst others I was short on the ground of.
1 or 2 pairs of Sandals.
1 or 2 more swimwear, swimsuit?
Red and White Stripe Long-sleeve Top.
So having looked at my list, I have so far managed to track down a jumpsuit from New Look which I really like the shape and colour of- online it says rust but it is 100% blush pink. I think it will be perfect for evenings on holiday in Lanzarote, in the daytime in Rome and for nights out back in the UK, maybe even for my birthday! I also picked up a floral jumpsuit from Depop which is originally from Topshop. Depop is a great way to get items that you want for cheaper, a bit like eBay. So I only paid £13 for a jumpsuit which was nearly £40 in store last year, I know because I remember looking at it at the time! It’s black with a floral print and a lace up back so it will be perfect abroad and can also be worn over a white t-shirt here in England. My thinking for this piece is that it will transition nicely into my Summer Capsule as well, not bad for £13 and it’s also a more sustainable way to shop, rather than that item being thrown away and sent to landfill. I also managed to grab the sandals I’ve been wanting for a while, last year I had to get rid of my trusty sandals from Topshop which had been by my side for around 4 years. I figure that if the quality is the same this time around, £26 is not a bad investment over 4 years! What I like about these sandals is that they are super comfy and can appear both smart and casual depending on the rest of the outfit, and of course they are black to go with everything!
I need to do one final trip to the shops to pick up the rest of the items, but as you will see above, I have actually linked all the items as I think I’ve found what I’m looking for. The main thing for me to bare in mind is that all the items in this capsule really work well together so when I’m adding in new items they shouldn’t be statement pieces that don’t match my existing clothes.
Some items which I already own and will be wearing a lot in Spring wardrobe include my BDG Axyl Jeans from Urban Outfitters, which I have in a light and mid wash denim. They are straight leg with a frayed hem so they are a perfect casual alternative to a skinny jean. I also have a couple of dungaree dresses and a pair of actual black dungarees, I’m so excited to pair these with t-shirts instead of the jumpers I’ve had to force underneath them for the past 3 months. I love a striped t-shirt so I can’t wait to whip those out again. Some other items I love to wear and will definitely be a part of my Spring Capsule are my polkadot blouses and dress. I don’t know what it is at the moment, but I just love polkadots! I have a red one, a white one and a black bodysuit one, all of these shirts are a bit smarter so are great for an occasion like a meal or blog event, but they can also be dressed down with jeans. The black polka dress is amazing as it can be worn with bare legs and sandals on holiday or with tights and boots in the UK while we wait for the warm weather to come our way!
The other item I just can’t wait to whip back out are my culottes, I haven’t been able to wear them in winter as I can’t bare to expose my ankles to the cold but in the next few weeks I’m sure I will have a hard job not wearing them everyday! They are so versatile as you can wear them casually with a t-shirt or more dressy with a bodysuit for a night out. I will 100% be taking a couple of pairs away with me each time! If you aren’t sure about who to incorporate culottes into your wardrobe, I have a whole post on how to style them here!
Hopefully by forming this capsule list early, it will prevent me from doing a ridiculous holiday shop each time I go away. I’m not saying I can’t buy anything as I know I am a little short on Spring/ Summer wear but I can just buy within reason and not for the sake of it.
So there you have it, a little update on what my wardrobe will be looking like over the coming weeks and months. What are your favourite styles to wear in this in-between weather? Let me know in the comments.

If you're an instrument repairer, or you know of one you recommend then please let everyone know about them.
KP has repaired speakers for me.
He does all sorts of electronics, amps, mixers, speakers as well as guitars etc.
Does anyone know if KP Electronics still exist? The number is disconnected. Failing that, any ideas where I could get a Fender amp repaired on the shore?
Yeah he is, I called and spoke to him a couple of weeks ago.
Don't call after 2:30pm tho as he's normally out.
Hi all. I'm very sad to say Keith (KP) has had some serious health issues in recent times and they have recently come to a head.
I'd suggest you call the Rockshop (who used to be the Genz Benz agent). That would be my first stop as they may have spare parts.
For those that know KP, I believe that he is currently in the care of North Shore Hospice and his family so now would be a great time to send any messages of support.
My condolences & aroha go out to Keith Prictor and his whanau, very sorry to hear about his circumstances.
Kia tau mai te aroha nga manaakitanga o te atua!
Just heard from Luana Prictor this evening that Keith sadly passed away this morning....haere, haere, haere atu ra.
That is indeed sad news... thanks for letting us know.
I thoroughly enjoyed the time I spent with KP and have a great respect for him.
He was a great man and an excellent guitarist known by many.
Blessings and condolences to the Prictor family.

Twilight faced her darkness and made peace with it. Now she can face who she is, and not a moment too soon. The greatest battle in Equestrian history is about to begin, and she'll need to understand just how deep the darkness in her heart goes in order to face the threats to come. However, in preparation for the worst event in Equestrian history, she'll have to protect a mare that may be the key to everyone's destruction. Even worse, she has to deal with an old enemy/former friend that's intent on saving the world her way, which means killing the life that Twilight wishes to protect. But can a demon truly do an angel's job, or is Twilight simply deluding herself?
"Can I atone for my sins...?"
For years Diamond Tiara has been contending with dark feelings, night terrors, and blackouts she can't explain. When Apple Bloom, the love of her life, was here, she could handle it. Now that Apple Bloom is gone though, Diamond Tiara's sanity is slipping, and she's becoming something horrible. Good news, she's beginning to understand what she is now. Bad news, she hates it, because the more she learns, the less likely it seems she can be saved.
"Wh-what am I?! Apple Bloom, help me!"
She is the Guardian of Equestria, sworn to defend the golden land of Terra from any and all threats. Vale's life was saved by a Unicorn who's heart was more pure than even her own, but now she has to carry on her life and continue her own mission. That should be simple, except for three things standing in her way. Midnight has once again chosen to stand against her, the lover of the one who saved her won't leave her alone, and strange foreign emotions plague her, hindering her mission. All she knows is that something in her heart is saying this isn't right.
These three, and others surrounding them, will play an integral part in the events over the next month. As for what their places on the board are, unfortunately that's not entirely up to them.

This is very short relaxation audio for all age groups up to 12. It is simple and easy. Please let me know if it helps you!
2.Let’s find our safe place.
When we want to relax, we need to feel safe. This is a simple visualization that is can be used with all age groups from 5 onwards. It’s great for those older children who don’t want others to see what they might be doing. You do need to practise this together in order for them to master it. Depending on their capacity for self-control, some children will sometimes be able to go there better than other times, so remember to adjust your expectation during these times. If you don’t want to use the script, it’s at my SoundCloud account too.
Now we are going to leave that place on the count of 3, I then want you to open your eyes. 321…..open your eyes when you are ready! Then talk about their journey.
Lie down together, place your childs faviourite lovely on thier belly, then ask them to feel down into that place and notice thier lovely moving up and down from thier belly. This teaches your child how to breathe deeply.
Some children are “kinesthetic” Learners. They may need to relax by moving. They might become a tree, or move into being a turtle by going into its shell.

The biggest perk of pressure washing is that it can make taxing or tedious cleaning jobs much easier. Additionally, it can get surfaces that may be difficult to clean looking bright and new without the elbow grease. We take a great deal of pride in our cars and want to make them look their best. Pressure wash your vehicle with ease by following this guide.
What Kind of Pressure Washer Should I Use to Wash my Car?
It is important to note that pressure washers are designed to push away the toughest dirt and grime, and sometimes they are used with the intended purpose to chip away old paint. Keeping this in mind, you should pressure wash your car with extreme car. Using the wrong nozzle, or using a too strong PSI can lead to damage for your car. The being said, you don’t need to turn your pressure washer into a garden hose. You can still use a little bit of pressure. To put this into perspective, the average garden hose has 40 PSI and 7 GPM. The generally advised setting for using a pressure washer to wash your car is 1500 PSI and 1.5 GPM. With a pressure washer, you will get the job done faster and use less water in the process. Given this level of cleaning units, you will likely want to use an electric pressure washer as the gas models may be too strong for washing a car.
Different nozzles change the distribution of the water to create more or less pressure. The more narrow the stream, the more pressure it is putting out; however, less surface area is covered. The basic nozzles come in four color, each color representation a different pressure setting. A red nozzle is a fast, hard jet of water that is extremely narrow and a yellow nozzle is somewhat wider but is often used to strip paint. Red or yellow should be avoided for a car wash. Green is the next setting, which is often used for cleaning wheels and truck beds and is a great setting for a pre-wash rinse as it’ll take of dirt with it as it goes. The white nozzle is often the widest and cleans large areas fast so this should be used for the surface of the car and for rinsing detergent or soap. Finally, the black nozzle is the nozzle used for applying soap and has a very light bit of pressure.
Settle yourself into an open area which you can walk around your car freely without running into anything. Find a hard surface like a driveway or on concrete rather than over gravel. Small stones could definitely fly around. Plan out how much space you will need, especially if you are using an electric pressure washer. You may find that you will need an extension cord and it is much easier to have that prepped ahead of time than to stop and find one in the midst of washing. If you are considered washing your car engine as well, you should take caution if you plan on using your pressure washer. While it can be safe to clean the engine with a pressure washer, all electronic components needs to be safe and kept covered. The newer the model of the car, the most likely it is filled with tons of electric pieces that may cause you a massive headache if they get wet or are hit with just a little too much pressure.
This may go without saying, but make sure all the windows are rolled up, the doors are closed, and the trunk is closed. All is takes is one slight opening to have extensive water damage inside your vehicle. Have all the supplies you will need ready before you begin including any additional tools, towels, and detergent that you may use. For a detergent, use a product that is designed for pressure washers and not just a random jug of car wash goo you found in the garage. Karcher Car Wash and Wax is a great option. Your car will be shiny and new looking, plus you can get it fast in your have Amazon Prime. Often you may need to dilute the detergent with water, so read the packaging first and follow the directions. Additional tools you may consider are things that are not necessarily important, but might make the job easier. A rotating car wash brush designed for pressure washers can work great for scrubbing dirt without increasing the pressure on your pressure washer so you don’t end up damaging the paint.
Test out using the pressure washer by standing 4-5 away at first, then moving closer as needed. While the nozzles control how much pressure is used, you may inadvertently apply too much pressure if you’re standing too close. Once you’ve found the right distance, rinse the car all over to push away mud and larger debris from the surface. Include the wheels with the rinse. Once the rinsing job is done, you can use the black nozzle to apply the detergent and spray your car once again. The best method is to start at the top, and work your way down. Letting the detergent sit for a few minutes is usually a great idea as it can pull dirt from harder areas, but be careful if you are washing your car on a hot summer day. The soap could start drying and leave unattractive and annoying lines on your car. Rinse the detergent with the white nozzle in a downward motion starting at the top. You may apply detergent and rinse again if you so desire. Following this method of washing your car with a pressure washer will give you satisfactory results and you take your car out for a joy ride and show off your shiny and clean car.
An often neglected area of your car is the undercarriage, and if there’s anything that will help you make the undercarriage look good as new, it’s a pressure washer. Use a degreaser to help access areas that have significant dirt build up, or that may be difficult to reach with a pressure washer. You can also get a tool, like this undercar cleaner attachment, that makes cleaning your undercarriage a breeze.
If you do not already have a pressure washer and are considering buying one to wash your car, you may want to take note of certain features before you buy. If you have a small car and do not intend to use the pressure washer for any large jobs, a more lightweight model would work, and would make moving around your vehicle a little easier. But even if you only want the pressure washer to wash your car, do not go for the lighter models if you have a big SUV or truck. The larger the car, the bigger model you’ll want to consider. Keep in mind where you are going to be cleaning your vehicle as well. A gas model may be more portable, but is not a good option if you are intending to use it in a barn. You should also think about the water source, and you may need to consider a filter to prevent debris or hard water marks. Definitely determine if the pressure washer has a soap or detergent tank as just simply water is not going to help you.
Sun Joe SPX3000 by Snow Joe–Electric, PSI 2030, 1.7 GPM.
We like the SPX3000 because of its excellent performance and moderately low price tag. At a price of around $150, you get a solid pressure washer with 5 spray tips. The spray tips use Quick-Connect technology, which makes it so you can switch to different nozzles depending on which area of the car you are focusing on.
The AR Blue Clean is a high quality and durable unit, so it is great for using for multiple jobs around your home or property. The long power cord make it so that you can move around your vehicle well, regardless of its size, and has an auto-shut off motor to preserve its life.
A solid unit with a smaller motor that can help reduce water usage. While it may make the job take a little longer, the lower rate of glow drastically reduces the water use and this can be a great option is you’re worried about a pressure washer consuming water like crazy.
The downside of this unit is simply the price tag, as you’ll need to spend a little bit more to get this beauty. With a 2000 PSI, this unit is great to use more things more than just car washing, and the 1.4 GPM means that you can finish a car wash within minutes. Additionally, Karcher units come with a patented corrosion-resistant pump so maintenance of this unit will be greatly reduced.

Guiness chili, this could very well be the best you've ever had!
For us, autumn is the perfect time of year.
To make and serve big pots of this black bean stew.
Basically a robust meat and black bean stew seasoned with spicy peppers.
It's satisfying, fortifying and warms you up from the inside.
Long ago I learned that there seem to be endless versions.
Just look at all the cook-offs around the world.
To all those different versions, I'd like to add one of our own.
A recipe we've developed over the years and accompanied with an ice-cold beer.
After all, a perfect accompaniment.
As well as a rich source of flavor in many recipes, including this one.
There are many stages to the preparation, though each is fairly simple.
Don't worry, the raves will be worth it!
The reason behind the number of steps is the fact that a good dish has real complexity and depth.
Giving this recipe many different layers of flavors and textures.
All of which work together to produce a stew that satisfies exceptionally with every spoonful.
Here, the recipe calls for beef.
But you could also make it with pork, lamb, duck, or even chicken.
Once you've tasted it, you can also feel free to vary the seasonings, and the heat level, as you like.
With flavors of coffee, dark chocolate, Guinness, and chipotle peppers, this is indeed the best chili ever!
This stuff is delicious and spicy hot, which we love.
If you’re not sure about the heat, cut back on the cayenne and add more to taste with salt and pepper at the end.
You might want to do the same with the chipotle, but I think its smokiness is what makes this chili so delicious.
If you like yours spicy like we do.
(or offer to guests on the side).
Serve with warmed corn tortillas.
Or a nice crusty bread and a green salad topped with orange slices.
And you've got a complete meal that will have them wanting for more!
In a large pot over medium high heat, sauté the ground meat in olive oil until cooked.
In the same pot, sauté the onions and peppers until soft, about 10 minutes.
Add the garlic and chipotle peppers, and cook for another 2 minutes.
Add all remaining ingredients, except the chopped cilantro.
Loosely cover the pot with a lid and simmer over medium heat.
Stirring occasionally for 1 hour.
Remove the lid and continue to cook for another hour.
Allow it to simmer a bit longer if you'd like the sauce thicker.
Serve with grated cheese and chopped cilantro.
Serve accompanied by bowls of cheese, onion and sour cream.
For guests to add to taste, along with warm tortillas.
We hope you and your friends enjoy this ultimate chili recipe!

"I don't know how to cook!" is no longer a valid excuse. If you can squeeze a lemon and pour some salt you can prepare this exquisite dish.
This is another dish Vincenzo taught me. We made the dish using fresh anchovies but, knowing it's difficult to get fresh anchovies, even in NYC, Vincenzo said you can substitute other types of fish. I feel most comfortable with sushi quality tuna as you can have that uncooked.
Preparation with tuna is even easier than it is with anchovies. You have to clean the anchovies by hand and it takes a while - but it's certainly worth the effort. Unfortunately, even when you can find fresh anchovies state-side, they're rarely as good as having them fresh out of the Mediterranean Sea. The good news is it's a snap to prepare the tuna for cerviche. You merely slice it into razor-thin slices.
Hot & cold. A different taste that works!
Cover the top with a plate and let sit for 5 - 10 minutes. You'll know that it's done when the tuna turns an opaque, whitish color. Serve with the zucchini dish.
Note: finish the tuna cerviche the evening it's served. It's not good for leftovers.

The final “assignment” we had to write for the travel writing course was 250 words about “someone I met while travelling”. Juliet and I like to think we have caught the cruising bug and have undertaken several in recent years. You meet all sorts of interesting people on these trips and this is brief piece about one such encounter. I must admit a little bit of fiction has crept in – we did meet the people mentioned but my description of Sue is not 100% accurate in terms of her jewellery.
“Dev Patel is playing Saroo, while Nicole Kidman is playing me”. On a cruise you meet all sorts of people and this cruise was going to be no exception.
Sue, from Tasmania was one of our table companions one night at dinner along with her husband and two other couples. Dressed casually in a short sleeved dress to reflect the Mediterranean summer her eyes sparkled as she spoke. Neck length hair complimented her choice of clothing. Her keen personality shone through as we chatted about life, families, the usual small talk when meeting people for the first time.
Dinner on a cruise is a chance for the ladies to dress up and wear lots of statement jewellery. However, Sue and indeed the other ladies on our table were minimalist in terms of adornments. Aside from the usual wedding band she wore a simple necklace, however, on her right wrist there was an unusual looking pearl bangle which glistened in the light from the chandeliers in the dining room. Carefully manicured nails with a shade of pale pink completed her look.
Intrigued we waited for Sue to continue. “John and I adopted 2 Indian boys back in the ‘80s. A few years ago Saroo decided to trace his roots in India and was reunited with his birth mother. Astonishingly she had never given up hope of seeing him again even after 25 years”.
“It is from Madhya Pradesh where Saroo was born, a gift from his mother”.

Manchester University lecturers delivered a highly competitive, engaging, engineering challenge for students in the ‘Knead for Speed’.
Students posted their thoughts on what an engineer was and had their misconceptions rectified as Adrian the leader of the session explained that engineering, “is applying maths and science to present solutions to real world problems”. They are designers, “modern day inventors”.
Swiftly moving on to the practical challenge the students gained an understanding of aerodynamics-the study of the motion of air. The task involved taking a basic model of a wooden car sketching ideas of how to modify it, producing accurate scale drawings of the changes and labelling them, then creating a test car.
Students had to consider drag, friction, weight, thrust, downforce, lift and reaction force. To make the cars faster they were told about splitters used at the front of the car, side skirts, a rear spoiler, canards on the front and a diffuser underneath the car. Armed with this knowledge they set about the task with enthusiasm and ingenuity.
Each group presented their finished cars to the judges, justifying their modifications. The winning car was then chosen and tested in a virtual wind tunnel. The winning team were able to experience the testing wearing virtual reality headsets.
This was a really innovative of engaging the students enabling them to see the exciting world of engineering. Imagine what an amazing career this could be!

(Nanowerk News) People use electromagnetic energy every day … watching television, listening to the radio, popping corn with a microwave, taking an X-ray or using a cellphone. This energy travels in the form of waves, which are widely used in electronic and wireless devices.
One of the hottest areas of the electromagnetic spectrum being explored today is the terahertz (THz) range. Terahertz waves, lying between microwave and optical frequencies, offer improved performance for a variety of applications in everyday life. For instance, THz waves can carry more information than radio/microwaves for communications devices. They also provide medical and biological images with higher resolution than microwaves, while offering much smaller potential harm of exposure than X-rays.
Researchers at the University of Notre Dame have shown that it is possible to efficiently manipulate THz electromagnetic waves with atomically thin graphene layers. This achievement, which was recently published in Nature Communications ("Broadband graphene terahertz modulators enabled by intraband transitions"), sets the stage for development of compact, efficient and cost-effective devices and systems operating in the THz band.
"A major bottleneck in the promise of THz technology has been the lack of efficient materials and devices that manipulate these energy waves," says Berardi Sensale-Rodriguez, a graduate student in the Department of Electrical Engineering at Notre Dame. "Having a naturally two-dimensional material with strong and tunable response to THz waves — for example, graphene — gives us the opportunity to design THz devices achieving unprecedented performance."
The terahertz team — graduate students Sensale-Rodriguez, Rusen Yan, Kristof Tahy and Tian Fang; research assistant professors Michelle M. Kelly, through Center for Nano Science and Technology (NDnano), and Lei Liu, in conjunction with Advanced Diagnostics and Therapeutics at Notre Dame (AD&T); visiting research assistant professor Wan Sik Hwang, with Midwest Institute for Nanoelectronics Discovery (MIND); associate professor Debdeep Jena and John Cardinal O'Hara, C.S.C., Associate Professor Huili (Grace) Xing — has demonstrated the first proof of concept prototype of a graphene-based THz modulator, a device enabled solely by intraband transitions in graphene.
Graphene, an atom-thick semiconductor material, has shown promising electrical, mechanical and thermal properties leading to the recent demonstration of fast transistors, flexible/transparent electronics, optical devices and now terahertz active components.
"Graphene has been touted as an ideal platform to discover new, as well as prove/dispute existing, physical phenomena since 2004," Xing said. "That is what two physicists in the United Kingdom, Andre Geim and Konstantin Novoselov, were awarded the Nobel Prize for in 2010. However, very few real-world applications of graphene have emerged to date. Using graphene to manipulate THz waves is one of such applications. This Nature Communication paper documented our first experimental effort to realize the predictions in our paper published in Applied Physics Letters last year. Devices with better performance continue rolling out of our laboratories.
"Though Professor Jena and I formed the vision to use two-dimensional electron gas to manipulate THz waves back in 2006, it was not until Michelle, Lei and Berardi joined us that this piece of work was possible," Xing added.

ZURICH (Reuters) - FIFA is facing a lawsuit in a Zurich court over regulations that ban the transfer of players under the age of 18.
The case was been filed at the Zurich Commercial Court on Wednesday on behalf of a 17-year-old African player and his parents, who say that the rules make FIFA’s transfer regulations unlawful.
A spokesman for Zurich law firm Nater Dallafior Rechtsanwaelte, which has brought the case, said in a statement that the player, who had represented his country at youth level, was unable to move to a club in the European Union because of the rules.
“Thereby, he and his family miss the probably unique chance of a professional and social advancement,” said the statement issued on Thursday.
“FIFA implemented these regulations on the pretext that young football players such as the claimant must be protected,” said the statement.
“In reality, however, these regulations lead to a discrimination of football players from third countries outside the European Union.” This, it said, made them unlawful.
The statement said the rules also infringed EU law, which allowed for unrestricted free movement of students and employees.
FIFA could not immediately be reached for comment but has argued in the past that the rules go back to an agreement signed in 2001 between FIFA, UEFA and the European Commission and these had been further developed over the years.
Spanish clubs Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid have been banned from signing players for two transfer windows by FIFA for breaching the rules while Barcelona have completed a similar ban. All three clubs denied wrongdoing.
Former Cameroon international Jean-Claude Mbvoumin, who has set up the Culture Foot Solidaire group to fight the trafficking of minors, says that young African players are still brought to Europe by false agents.
He told Reuters last year that families sometimes hand over their life savings to the agents hoping to secure a move to a top club, only for their sons to be abandoned on the streets of Europe.
FIFA is also facing a legal complaint at the European Commission from the world players’ union FIFPro, which says that the current transfer regulations have led to a lack of competition in the sport.

What are the sources of monetary power and how does the concept of monetary power explain the politics of international monetary relations? This paper argues that international monetary power rests on the differential domestic costs of macroeconomic adjustment obligations between weak and strong currency countries. At their very core, exchange rate relations reflect questions of how to distribute the burden of adjustment. Monetary interdependence implies that countries need to establish consistency between internal macroeconomic policy and external exchange rate policy. Countries solve the consistency issue on the basis of market power. Strong monetary players have greater bargaining leverage in monetary negotiations because they do not face a reserve constraint. They can use their leverage to protect their own domestic macroeconomic priorities and to compromise merely on questions of external adjustment and financing. The paper evaluates these analytical assumptions by comparing two European exchange rate regimes (the snake and the European Monetary System), the Bretton Woods system of 1944 to 1971 and the current monetary relations between the United States and China (often referred to as Bretton Woods II).
Key Words: Monetary power; macroeconomic adjustment; Bretton Woods System; European Monetary System; Renminbi-dollar peg.
The absence of power considerations in the contemporary literature on monetary politics is rather striking. Scholars have for the most part devoted attention to domestic factors such as central bank independence, attributes of political institutional structure or policy ideas.2 While these studies yield important insights into monetary politics, this literature has overlooked an important implication of the domestic monetary sphere. Domestic monetary politics is the basis for international monetary power. I argue in this article that monetary power results from differential macroeconomic adjustment obligations of weak and strong monetary countries. Strong monetary players are in a position to choose more freely among their various adjustment options, whereas weak monetary players are constrained in their adjustment options. The differential adjustment situations translate into monetary power and the ability to shape international monetary politics. At its very core, international monetary politics is about how to distribute the burden of adjustment. Monetary regimes - whether they are fixed or pegged exchange rate systems or whether they are a floating system -allocate adjustment obligations either de jure through explicit rules, or de facto because some areas of adjustment remain uncodified.
The paper develops two broader conceptual claims. First, I argue that there is a distinct structural logic to monetary interaction. Exchange rates, by their very nature, are expressions of interdependence. Simply speaking, an exchange rate represents the price of one currency in terms of another currency. Because exchange rates constitute the point of convergence between domestic policy autonomy and the exogenous international environment, monetary regimes specify the mechanisms by which participants establish equilibrium between their own domestic macroeconomic policy and that of their external environment. In other words, governments need to establish consistency among their policies. For the purpose of this article, I call this the "consistency problem."
