Professional Motorsport World (2011) Predictive Lap Timing

PRLog (Press Release) - Sep 05, 2011 - Racelogic has found that using GPS position to align multiple laps for the purpose of predictive lap timing is more accurate than the traditional methods of using distance or time.

The practice of predictive lap timing is not new. Traditionally, circuit data logging systems used roll-ing distance to enable users to compare different laps to show where improvements can be made. This works well, but relies on the driver maintaining similar racing lines per lap to obtain a meaningful alignment and does not allow users to compare different lines or move off line to over 2011 Chrysler 200 Convertible take a competitor.

UK based Racelogic have found a new method. Using their accurate Video VBOX data logger, they have found that using GPS position to align two laps is more accurate than using distance or time. This is then shown in real time on a high brightness OLED display in clear view of the driver. Racelogic claim this enables the driver to quickly understand the effects of different race techniques on overall lap times.

Although the position data itself may only be accurate to within a few meters, the typical average race speed is well in excess of 30m/sec, cutting errors to less than 1/10th of a second.

To demonstrate, Racelogic's Founder, Julian Thomas, examines two laps of the 2.6km Silverstone National circuit recorded by a professional race driver: "The rolling dista automobile news nce variation was 11.6m even though the lap time difference was only 0.6 seconds," he notes. "This equates to an alignment error when using distance of 0.3 seconds, even on a short track with a consistent driver. On a longer track with an inconsistent driver the error can be over a second." Thomas adds, "But by using GPS position, updated 10 times a second, we can show the real time lap compari ni ssan GTR specification son accurate to within 1/10th of a second, regardless of the line taken by the driver or the length of the track."

Infiniti m hybird >So how can race drivers and engineers make use of this data? Thomas explains: "With GPS offering such accurate data, we've found that drivers intuitively find ways of cutting times. They use it not only for qualifying, but also in endurance racing to maintain a consistent pace." He adds: "For example, drivers can instantly see the very small but accumulative effect of following a car in the distance to pick up a slight slip-stream, and the effect of relaxing the steering wheel coming onto a straight. Drivers can also now instantly evaluate changes in driving line which is almost impossible when using the time/distance method.

Racelogic's Video VBOX is now available as part of a predictive lap timing display package special offer. On display on Racelogic's stand 4065 at the PMW show and priced at just £1,195 + tax, race drivers at all levels are set to benefit from the new technology.

Business Monitor International launches a brand new Nordics Power Report

PRLog (Press Release) - Sep 05, 2011 - Business Monitor International (BMI) has introduced to its portfolio a brand new Nordics Power Report, covering Denmark, Finland and Sweden. This addition adds depth to BMI's global power market views, and its analysis of the European power sector.

The Nordic countries covered in the report are mature electricity markets and, according to BMI's forecasts, they will experience modest growth both in terms of generation and capacity over the forecast period (2011-2015). Considering that electricity demand is forecast to see only limited growth between now and 2020, the main priority for Denmark, Finland and Sweden is to replace ageing plants with additional cleaner generation capacity.

The Report provides key forecasts and in-depth analysis of the Nordic power (http://store.businessmonitor.com/power/nordics_power_report ) market, including electricity generation, consumption, trade, power generation costs and transmission. The industry forecasts for gas, coal, oil, nuclear, hydro and renewable are supported by BMI assumptions and analysis of key risks to BMI core scenario. Within this, the report analyses the impact of regulatory changes, recent industry developments and the background macroeconomic outlook. It also features a competitive landscape of the Nordic power markets comparing multinational and national operators by sales, market share, investments, projects, partners and expansion strategies.

Electricity consumption and generation in Denmark, Finland and Sweden is expected to grow only moderately in the coming years. However, weak demographic dynamics and slow economic recovery as the result of government programmes are expected to impact power markets across Europe. BMI holds a similar outlook for Central and Eastern Europe with the exception of the Turkey power (http://store.businessmonitor.com/power/turkey_power_report ) sector, which we expect to exhibit strong growth, driven by a sharp rise in its power consumption over the coming years.

BMI's portfolio of products and services provides comprehensive analysis of the global power industry and enables industry professionals, strategists, sector analysts and equity investors to identify key market opportunities and avoid market risks wherever they operate.

About Business Monitor International (http://www.businessmonitor.com/ ):Business Monitor In corsa ory/ferrari">ferrari ternational (BMI) established in 1984 with headquarters in London is recognised as a leading independent source for analysis and forecasts on Country Risk and Industry, spanning 175 countries.

PRLog (Press Release) - Sep 04, 2011 - 4th September 2011.  Staffordshire, UK. The choice of a number plate mustang car may seem limited to the buyer, who has the choice of either buying from an auction or from a private number plate dealer. Both of these choices have issues for the consumer.

First of all, there is the auct automobile news ion, there could be intense competition for some number plates and therefore in the heat of the moment, the buyer can sometimes pay too much for a specific number plate and this does nothing for the industry or consumer confidence.

Emotional Aftermath of Hurricane Will Far Outweigh the $2 to $7 Billion in Physical Damages

PRLog (Press Release) - Sep 02, 2011 - Early estimates of damages left by Hurricane Irene are between $2 billion and $7 billion dollars, the Los Angeles Times reported last night. Barack Obama warned car news Monday that the damage from Hurricane Irene will be felt for some time. Speaking from the Rose Garden he said, "This is not over. The effects are still being felt across much of the country."

Cathryn Taylor, author of the bestselling Inner Child Workbook, states that the consequences resulting from the emotional aftermath of Hurricane Irene, like Katrina, will far outweigh even the dollar figure of damage. "When unpredictable eruptions of mother nature - such as the destruction of hurricanes in the East co-mingle with the stress most of us experience in our d aston martin aily pursuits, we end up feeling overwhelmed, afraid -- out of control and full of despair," the author said in an interview this morning. "This coupled with the most recent economic challenges have brought an even more pervasive sense of worry into our hearts, minds and souls.

How do we  cope?  How do we deal with this mass grief as it weaves with our personal grief?  Taylor srtates, "We don't.  We are a society in mourning with few adult tools to grieve. These recent events, combined with the stresses of day-to-day life, have thrown most of us into the aftermath of confusion and fear - struggling with an underlying anxiety that erupts in our living rooms, in the workplace, on the freeways and in every area of our lives.

"Yet," suggests Taylor, "Tragedies - personal and global alike - can ignite a determination in us to break out of our shell and move beyond our immediate response of confusion and fear. Most just need a map on how to do so."

Taylor's Inner Child Workbook, originally published by Jeremy Tarcher, Inc. in 1991, is now celebrating its 20th year in publication and its 37th printing. One of five books p audi ublished in the early 1990's which popularized the concept of the inner child, Taylor says it was the launching pad for her own creativity. She continued to evolve this concept in four more self-published books and five E-Books – all offering solutions and techniques on championing the child within all of us. Her most recent contribution to this field is the creation of "interactive tapping", an advanced technique of the new energy therapy based on Gary Craig's Emotional Freedom Technique, EFT.

Cathryn, also a licensed counselor, uses tapping in her Life Style Coaching practice to teach clients how to neutralize disruptions which occurred in their energy system at the time of a traumatic incident. Taylor explains, "What happens is that a part of our psyche goes into an emotional spasm an auto part d it keeps firing off until the original energy disruption is corrected and resolved. If the incident is related to a childhood wound then that incident or experience is triggered, as well, and must be addressed.

To celebrate this 20 Year Celebration, Cathryn is offering a 20-Week package in which she is bringing the Inner Child Workbook into the 21st Century.  Each week she will  take a chapter in the original workbook and integrate it with her latest written material, her audio and video recordings and offer EFT Sequences which enhance the original exercises.   It is truly the next generation of the Inner Child Workbook.

Cathryn Taylor is licensed in the state of California since 1979 as a Marriage and Family Therapist. She is certified in Chemical Dependency and is now licensed in the state of Minnesota as an Alcohol and Drug Counselor and as a Marriage and Family Therapist. She is the author of five books including The Inner Child Workbook, which is considered a classic in the inner child field and has positioned Taylor as one of the field's leading experts. She has been conducting workshops, lectures and classes for the past twenty-six years and has a private practice in Minneapolis Minnesota and San Rafael, California.

Long-term effects of credit crunch seen in shortage of 3 year old used vans, reports Anchor Vans

PRLog (Press Release) - Sep 02, 2011 - Padworth UK, Anchor Vans – one of the leading vendors of used vans in the UK has reported a shortage of three year old used vans available in the used commercial vehicles market. The shortage is a direct result of the credit crun corsa ch that hit the economy three years ago. For more information call rc helicopter and car market place 0118 9710 230 or go to www.usedvans4sale.com.

"We've noticed a distinct shortage of used vans that are in the cadillac 3 year old bracket,"said Simon Joyce, Sales Director for Anchor Vans. "We know this is a direct result of the credit crunch because when it hit three years ago many companies with fleets of commercial vehicle acura s didn't buy new replacement vehicles. Everyone was tightening their belts and making do with what they had for as long as possible."

"Now, three years later, those vans which would normally have been bought new that year simply haven't trickled into the used van market,"Simon explained. "The impact can be seen in prices of used vans which are going back up due to the shortage not being able to easily meet the demand for 3 year old commercial vehicles. Many people have seen the long-term effects of the credit crunch,"Simon concluded, "this is just the way it's impacted upon our industry."
