Innovation, technology drive new car designs

DETROIT - From electrically powered cars like the Chevrolet Volt Concept Car, to new models reading e-mails, technology is driving Detroit's future.

"If you're not at the leading edge of technology, you're not going to be able to play this game," says Dave Cole, chairman of the Center for Automotive Research in Ann Arbor, Mich.

Historically, new car innovations have been a selling point.

"A telescopic steering column that lets you tailor the steering column to suit your own personal driving presence," said one ad for the 1955 Ford Thunderbird.

While some ideas catch on, others do not: Like TVs in the back seat of the 1958 Oldsmobile Holiday.

This year's concept cars have plenty of features you'll likely never see on the road.

"It's a styling exercise and it lets the designers really flex their muscles," says Csaba Csere, the editor in chief of Car and Driver magazine.

Csere is excited by the practical innovations in new models, like the Chrysler minivans' swiveling seats.

"As soon as your kids have been in a car with the swivel seat, they're going to say, 'Mommy, I need the minivan with these seats,'" he says.

Ford's F-Series pickup, hitting showrooms next month, includes a step-down tailgate.

"They have added a step here and a handle, so you step up, you hold on, [and] an old man like me can get up in comparative safety," says Csere as he demonstrates.

From the Pacer in the ’70s to the new Camaro, how a car looks draws buyers into showrooms. But whether or not they buy it ultimately comes down to how much utility they find. So automakers are building in more features, like fold-down second rows, and in the back, more options and more ways to carry around stuff.

"It's that kind of magical thing that manufacturers are always looking for that pushes a person to be a purchaser of your product versus somebody else's," says David Cole.

Detroit's challenge is turning that optimism into sales.

Use Radical Forgiveness Technology to Achieve Natural Weight Loss

Natural Weight Loss and Radical Forgiveness
Our bodies reflect our emotional health. Repressed emotional baggage can literally show up as physical baggage - excess body fat.

Functional Fat
No amount of dieting will get rid of excess body fat if it is serving an emotional function. The most common function it performs is protection. This can be protection from generalized hurt and rejection, but most frequently it is used to protect from imagined or real sexual attack.

Protection
The sexual abuse of children by their parents, grand-parents, step-parents, mother's boyfriends, siblings, baby-sitters and others is rampant in our society. It is estimated that one in five adults were sexually molested in their childhood years.

The only way a powerless child can deal with this is through the mechanisms of denial, repression and disassociation. However, such attacks leave a powerful energetic imprint on the body, generated and sustained by a potent mixture of repressed fear and guilt. (They nearly always think of it as their fault). This is frequently made much worse by their own mothers refusing to believe them if and when they have summoned enough courage to tell, and ending up being blamed and punished even more.

The Body Remembers
Even if the mind blocks it out, the cellular structure of the body remembers only too well. So it seeks to protect itself by piling on the fat in those regions previously most affected and thought to be most vulnerable. This not only provides a wall of physical protection against attack, but psychic protection also. The mind figures that being physically attractive is a risky proposition so the best way to ward off physical advances is by making oneself decidedly unattractive. What better way to become sexually unattractive than to be obese.

Self-Hatred
The body can also put on excess weight as a way to reinforce feelings of inadequacy and of being unloved. It is like a self-fulfilling prophecy that feeds on itself. The worse I feel about myself, the fatter I become. The fatter I become, the worse I feel about myself. And so it goes on.
It is difficult to know for sure, but I would be willing to hazard a guess that well over half of those who are significantly overweight are that way because they have deeply buried unconscious emotional pain that they are not aware of or won't deal with.

The Solution
The answer is using Radical Forgiveness to create natural weight loss. It is the technology that hundreds of sexual abuse victims, and victims of other forms of abuse, have used to neutralize and dissolve the energy pattern that kept the guilt, shame and fear frozen in their bodies and surrounded by fat. And the best thing is that it does not require that the person remembers what happened or to re-enact it in any form of therapy. Surprisingly, the forgiveness process is enough to create natural weight loss.

Being 20 Something Is Hard

Author : Dewi Pravitasari
Synopsis :

Saraswati Senotono (Sara) adalah seorang psikolog cantik yang cukup sukses lewat klinik ngetop yang didirikan bersama rekan-rekan seniornya. Profesi yang dijalaninya menuntut Sara untuk dapat selalu objektif dalam membantu memecahkan masalah klien-kliennya.

Setelah dapat menghindar selama 4 tahun lamanya, suatu hari Sara harus dihadapkan pada kenyataan akan kembalinya sang Mantan Pacar (Zani) yang pernah menggoreskan sejarah kelam bagi dirinya. Di sini Sara harus dapat memisahkan masalah profesionalisme dengan masalah pribadinya, mengingat Zani adalah seorang klien yang harus tetap dilayani dengan baik.

Tidak hanya itu, di hari yang sama Sara pun tak sengaja bertemu dengan kakak tiri Zani (Radit) yang pernah juga menjadi seseorang yang spesial dalam hidupnya. Pertemuan dengan mereka berdua membawa Sara pada kenangan masa lalu, dengan sejarah kelam di pertengahan umur 20-an., masa di mana ia tidak bisa memecahkan masalahnya sendiri.

“ Being Twenty-Something is Hard ” menceritakan tentang beratnya hidup yang dijalani oleh orang dalam fase umur 20 hingga 29 tahun, dan sebagian orang di awal umur 30-an. Semua orang muda ingin hidup ideal, hidup yang bahagia dan sesuai dengan yang diinginkannya, tanpa harus bersusah payah atau bersyukur atas apa yang telah dimilikinya. Hal itu wajar, karena di fase ini mereka masih memiliki ambisi yang besar, mimpi setinggi langit serta energi yang luar biasa besar. Padahal hidup itu tidak selalu ideal, bahkan lebih sering terasa pahit. Pada akhirnya yang timbul adalah stress, khawatir dan kegelisahan karena tak bisa menerima kenyataan.

Hal itu pun dirasakan Saraswati. Pergantian dari fase remaja menjadi dewasa, dengan segala idealisme pribadi, belum lagi tuntutan orang tua, menceburkan Saraswati dalam sebuah krisis umur 20-an, yang sering disebut Quarter Life Crisis. Keinginan menikah yang tidak menjadi kenyataan pernah menyebabkan dirinya stress berat dan bahkan menjadi seorang alkoholik. Selain Saraswati, akan ada juga tokoh-tokoh lain yang memiliki kekhawatiran yang sama tentang hidup, meski faktor yang menyebabkannya tidak selalu sama.

Lewat rehabilitasi yang dijalaninya, Saraswati akhirnya sadar bahwa masih banyak orang yang lebih tak beruntung dibanding dirinya. Kesadaran itu membuatnya kuat dan mampu meneruskan hidup, serta dapat menilai hidup dengan lebih bijaksana. Melalui perjalanan hidup ini, pembaca akan turut merasakan bagaimana konflik demi konflik yang dihadapi seseorang dapat membantu mendewasakan dirinya.

Klimaks cerita terjadi saat sang tokoh utama dihadapkan pada sebuah kenyataan yang jauh lebih pahit, sesuatu yang tak pernah dibayangkan oleh siapapun. Di sini pembaca akan melihat bahwa hidup itu bukan lagi tentang mimpi. Manusia harus menerima realita takdirnya, dan juga harus bersyukur atas hikmah yang ada di balik setiap kejadian.

Army of Roses: Inside the World of Palestinian Women Suicide Bombers

Barbara Victor

When a patriarchal society breaks with tradition and produces female suicide bombers one ought to pause to reflect. Many could interpret this phenomenon as a sign of patriarchal structures breaking down, with women increasingly being accepted as equals in the roles traditionally reserved for men. Others would point to the degree of desperation attached to living under an oppressive occupation force which leads these women to take their own lives. In her book "Army of Roses", Barbara Victor examines such claims in respect of Palestinian female suicide bombers. Her quest to understand "the social environment that pushes these young women over the edge of personal despair", however, leads her to uncover a deeper truth.

By weaving political analysis and the personal stories of five female suicide bombers together, she takes the reader beyond the surface, highlighting the relevant sociological structures that determine such behaviour. The outcome of such an investigation does not point to equality being achieved but actually reveals deeply embedded inequality in the Palestinian society which denies individual women the freedom to define their own future. And this is to blame for the rise of female suicide bombers.

This view is sustained through numerous interviews. Victor talks with the families and friends of the female suicide bombers who provide insights into their aspirations, character and motives. Her interviews with doctors, academics as well as psychologists serve as a framework which helps forge a bigger picture out of the personal stories. Although, the experts place differing emphasis on factors like socio-economics, nationalism, and fundamentalism in their explanations of female suicide terrorism. Interviews with Yasser Arafat, Benjamin Netanyahu, Abdul Aziz Al-Rantisi, Sheik Ahmad Yassin and others provide insights into the thinking of the political actors who capitalize on or condemn such attacks, but who also define the political backdrop against which such attacks are undertaken.

Great care is taken in analysing the first female suicide attack carried out by a Palestinian woman called Wafa Idris on January 27 2002. Her death took the world by surprise including, apparently, the Palestinian leadership who according to evidence presented by Victor, initially tried to cover up their association with the attack. In an interview with a Fatah leader, Victor discovers that Idris' recruitment was made in connection with her brother's planned suicide attack and not hers. Her intended role was to carry a knapsack filled with explosives across a checkpoint, which her brother would later use in his attack. However, Idris crossed the boundaries of her intended role and detonated the device, killing her self and one Israeli man. Only after a positive reaction to the event in the Arab world and noticing that the people where seemingly ready to accept a woman suicide bomber as a 'sahida', a martyr, did the Al-Aqsa Martyr's Brigade claim responsibility for the attack. Idris' attack, with the seal of approval from the political leadership, then served as an example for other women to follow. Her story points to the haphazard genesis of Palestinian female suicide bomber.

However by seeking out personal motives that would lead this young woman to kill herself, Victor unravels the structural factors to discover that her story is not so unique. Similar factors determined the behavior of the subsequent female suicide bombers. Wafa Idris was a woman with no future. Her inability to give her husband children led to the husband and his family being put to shame. Her husband was pressurised to divorce her and to take another wife. She had to move back to her paternal home where she was perceived as nothing but a financial burden. As a 'barren' woman, she had no chance of remarrying. In a society where 'honour' is currency, for a very 'poor' woman with no future, a suicide attack is a quick way to get her family 'rich'. The stories of the subsequent sahidas are similar in the respect that they all shared an inability to control their own lives. For reasons of respectability, honour and societal pressure ,they all undertook the attacks in hope of acquiring honour for their families.

The next layer that Victor adds to her analysis is that in a society which quickly adapts to incorporate female suicide bombers, male figures start to prey on unsuspecting women, and manipulate them to carry out attacks. There is the story Shireen Rabiya a fifteen year old, from a well-to-do family. She was recruited by her uncle who promised her an end to her teenage angst with a promise of entering paradise. Ultimately, she failed in her attempt to blow herself up. Therefore , even in this new role crafted for women, male manipulation continues to remain as the pivotal factor.

The message of this book is that this role enhancement is not an expression of equality. It warns of those who try to mislead us into believing that they are uncovering the structures of inequality. Actually they give rise to it and perpetuated it in the first place. The reader parts with the book with a deeper understanding of the motives that lead women to become suicide bombers. He is aware that such acts will continue to happen as long as prevailing societal structure remains in tact.
