Industrial placements are common on vocational-based degree subjects, such as business or marketing, while study-abroad placements commonly form part of language or humanities-based sandwich course degrees.

This is known as a thick sandwich course, with two years of study taken before the placement and a final year of study after....

While the unusually clean Aerostar put up a good fight, it’s clear that it’s hard to find a better used car at any price than a Toyota Camry. With sleek styling and luxurious accouterments, it’s no surprise that the Camry Solara SLE V6 walked away with the win. Score one for Canada, as this thing was assembled right down the road from me in Cambridge, Ontario. Anyway, today we have two cars from brands I’ve actually owned....

One of the most common tests is the Occupational Personality Questionnaire (OPQ). Developed by Saville and Holdsworth Ltd (SHL), the OPQ is also referred to as the SHL personality test or OPQ32.

It was created in 2009 by the pseudonymous Satoshi Nakamoto, who also produced a white paper alongside this decentralized cash, which described it as a new way of financial thinking, moving away from reliance on governments and traditional banking systems. Bitcoin was designed in response to the way governments dealt with the worldwide financial crash – by printing more money. There wasn’t much uptake to begin with, and many early coins were practically given away through Bitcoin faucets and as rewards for online tasks that helped validate transactions and create coins (known as mining)....

FSO was the major automaker in Poland during the Eastern Bloc era, and after years of building the archaic compact Syrena and larger Warszawa, in 1965 made a deal with Fiat to build a number of their cars under license, as did another Polish factor, FSM, which made the little rear-engined Polski Fiat 126p that would become their people’s car, but FSO built other licensed Fiats like the Polski Fiat 125p, a licensed version of the boxy Fiat 125 sedan, and the 128p, and so on....

Alpina’s kindly provided a dyno graph for the new XB7, so let’s take a look. The new SUV makes 630 horsepower and 590 lb.-ft. of torque, exactly the same torque figure as the old car but 18 more horsepower. The new twin-turbo S68 engine is really an evolution of the old N63 twin-turbo V8, so similar output is to be expected. More importantly, torque peaks 100 rpm earlier at 1,900 rpm and plateaus through 5,400 rpm, while a horsepower plateau kicks in from 5,500 rpm all the way to redline....

From the front, the new HR-V looks decidedly unimpressed, like it loathes the concept of being a vehicle. It’s seething with contempt for its purpose – schlepping Lack coffee tables home from IKEA after its owner’s housemate had a Marinara disaster. It know the chances of receiving an ugly state-mandated front license plate and approaches such a possible fate with a cynicism usually reserved for deeply disappointed optimists. Things get a bit better around the side – think five-eighths-scale Acura MDX if someone didn’t quite nail the scaling on the vertical axis....

Not all of these businesses succeed, with a large majority failing within two years, mainly due to lack of funding. Being an entrepreneur requires constant determination, passion and persistence. It is also a risky and uncertain path. On the other hand, it is rewarding and gives a feeling of real personal success. Many types of entrepreneurship also make a difference to society. For many, the dream of setting up a business is equal to making money, which is why entrepreneurship is so popular, not just in the US, but globally....

And a ton of those people decided to do it with a travel trailer or motorhome....

So, whenever you ask a dog lover, he would say.. ‘He/she is my best friend who will never leave me alone.’ Well, that stands true because dogs are the most loyal pets alongwith the Horses. They won’t leave you alone, they just won’t until their last breath. 🙁 Right from the day he/she enters your life as a small pup, you care for him like a mother. It seems to be the cutest thing in the whole world....

Just over five years ago (which feels like it’s been a decade, I know) Tesla unveiled its idea for a semi truck of the future. The Tesla Semi promised to revolutionize the trucking industry with an EV semi capable of hauling a full load 500 miles on a single charge. Development of the Semi has been a rollercoaster. Back in 2018, Musk said that the Semi would have four Model 3 motors and release in 2019....

See how the photographer shot this gloriously green photo so that there were a lot of blurry leaves close to the lens that makes the right quarter of the photo into a relatively low-contrast sea of light green? That works really well for laying type over and still having it be legible without having to stick it into some clunky box. So I’m wondering: did the photographer set out to take a photo like this with the planned text layout in mind?...

CVT bad! Ugly V8… not good, but less bad! Noted. Now then: There is a certain breed of small car that isn’t meant for everyone. They’re usually based on economy cars, and they do still tend to get decent mileage, but they sacrifice some economy and comfort to the horsepower and handling gods. These special examples tend to get driven hard, because they’re purchased by the sort of folks who like to drive small cars hard....
