Internet connection is the foundation of a stable conference call. Without it, you’ll be expecting a whole lot of connecting and disconnecting, resulting to an unproductive meeting and a bunch of frustrated people. The keyword to remember here is bandwidth. During a conference call, minimize bandwidth-intensive activities like video streaming or multiplayer games. Fast internet speeds and high-end hardware don’t matter if the software you use to communicate is not reliable....

Smart left America in 2019, but I continue to follow the brand’s story. My love for Smart is over 14 years strong, and I’m always looking for new upgrades and Smarts to pick up. I mean, I have five Fortwos spanning five different years, three generations, and two types of engines. I still have to get a couple of Forfours, a Roadster, a Crossblade, an Electric Drive, and a Fortwo cabriolet....

Let me just rest in peace. Let me cut all the connections of mine from the world, this mental stress and depression. Let my soul, for the first time get the tender touch of peace and sobriety. Let me be one with mind and soul, to spend some quality time with it and resolve my problem of another birth, more and more spiritual. Indeed, the phase of my seclusion has come....

Because of time constraints, however, most of us don’t get to do it nearly as often as we’d like. When you finally get the opportunity to go on a fishing trip, the last thing you want is to ruin your adventure by forgetting to take along essential fishing gear. Prepare for a successful and safe deep-sea fishing expedition by bringing the following things with you. Read on to discover our underwater fishing guide....

The base-model Integra retails for $30,800 (excluding destination charge) and features a CVT automatic gearbox, a 10.2-inch all-digital gauge cluster, an eight-speaker stereo, smart key entry, a sunroof and leatherette upholstery. Moving up a notch, the A-Spec trim stickers for $32,800 and should make the Integra look like a $30,000 car. A-Spec models get 18-inch alloy wheels, blacked-out trim, a lip spoiler and red gauge needles. But the Integra you really want is the $35,800 A-Spec with the Technology Package, which unlocks the no-charge option of a six-speed manual gearbox with limited-slip differential....

[Full disclosure: Hyundai Canada graciously let me borrow this Elantra N for the week so long as I returned it with a full tank of high-octane gasoline and wrote an article on it.] So what do I mean by polish? Well, a good sport compact car should be a riot to drive but not completely unlivable. Sure, the likes of the Dodge SRT-4 and Mazdaspeed3 pushed sport compact boundaries, but they weren’t excessively uncomfortable....

Screen protectors provide a layer of protection which should prevent a phone screen from being cracked or scratched. Just like buying any accessory for a mobile phone, there are budget options and premium options. Common issues with screen protectors include ‘bubbling’ between the protector and the phone and misalignment. Screen protector technology has vastly improved in recent years and there are now additional features like privacy filters and self-healing technology that make choosing a protector for an expensive phone a big decision in itself....

Things Were Good At Harley In The 1990s The 1990s were a bountiful time to be the Bar and Shield. Harley had spent the 1980s getting reinvigorated, and it was paying off. The company was no longer owned by American Machine and Foundry, it launched the Evolution engine, and the Wisconsin-based bike maker begged the government to stem the flow of cheap Japanese motorcycle imports. In 1983, President Ronald Reagan signed the Memorandum on Heavyweight Motorcycle Imports and imposed a 45 percent tariff on imports with greater than 700cc capacities....

This means that for a business to excel, to attract the best employees, and to succeed, there needs to be more focus on improving the workplace to include and celebrate differences. For most organizations, equality is already the focus of recruitment, retention and promotion, ensuring that everyone has the same access to opportunity. Diversity and inclusion are about more than equal opportunity, however, and can be instrumental in creating a profitable, successful, engaged and capable workforce....

South Korean is having a moment, with both the film “Parasite” and the TV show “Squid Game” dominating conversations recently. While they’re both different genres, each project is a reflection of the country’s creatives grappling with the impact of rapid industrialization and the resulting economic disparities. “Seoul Vibe” isn’t exactly in the same tradition, though it isn’t without some societal critique. Set on the verge of the 1988 Seoul Olympic games, the whole nation of South Korea is coming to terms with the end of a military dictatorship and the rise of a new, democratic society....

Or are you a potential customer and wondering what the benefits of an escape room could be? Escape rooms are now popular across the world, with interactive challenges that need your team to work as hard as possible to escape lots of different rooms. If you’re interested in finding out more, continue reading our guide today to learn the benefits of escape rooms and how they can work for you....

It’s remarkable how many weird and awesome vehicle designs trace their roots back to the oil crisis. Americans in the 1970s learned real quick that their rides got horrific fuel economy, leading to buyers and companies downsizing. The era brought on smaller cars, some pretty wild vehicle designs, and even challenged the airline industry. We’ve written about a few of these from the Creative Engineering Jutta, to fiberglass camper trailers, and even the failed Dassault Mercure airliner....

The AR 15 handguard can define the usefulness of your rifle. The main function of a handguard is shielding the shooter’s hand from the warmth of the barrel while using the gun. Also, accessories can be installed onto aero precision handguard to help with one’s shooting. When you purchase a handguard, it is better to do a little bit of research first. This will help you decide and find the right match for your needs and rifle....

Again, to clarify: this is rear mid-engine cars with a back seat, not front-mid engine cars. All good? Well, before we do that, we should probably define our terms as best we can. As I see it, there’s three main categories of where you can shove an engine in a (combustion-engined) car: front, middle, and rear. And, the “middle” category has two subcategories: front-mid and rear-mid. To define these categories, I think the axle centerline method is best....

1. Make a journal: Collect moments, not things! It is very important to record your each and every day’s synopsis of experience, learning, major events, crucial matters and a lot of many things. It will cultivate regularity in you. You can insert photos of any memory. This habit of making journal or diary flows with a very precious collection of memories and nostalgic moments. After some years when you will go through it, that will give you immense happiness!...

History on this exact camper is hard to find. And in fact, I’ve found just a few of examples of them on the entire internet. You might think, as I initially did, that this is a custom job. But it isn’t, and it was supposed to be a super-economical RV. As the folks of Tin Can Tourists note, Silver Streak trailers were the creation of the Curtis Wright Company. It should be noted that this is not Curtiss-Wright, the airplane manufacturer....

In case you’re curious, that’s not terribly far off the price of a new, base-trim Corolla, which starts at $21,550 before delivery. Toyota’s three-cylinder, 300-horsepower demon-hatch starts at $35,900, before delivery. The final price for the car Max got offered was more than twice that at $77,597 after taxes and fees. Perhaps needless to say, Max didn’t pull the trigger and remains GR Corolla-less as of this writing. “I’m not into this markup game with dealers,” said Max, who is based in Santa Cruz, California....

If there’s anything that disappoints me about modern RVs, it’s that they rarely look like something that you’ll just want to stare at for hours. And sure, there’s nothing wrong with that. RVs are more or less meant to be hotel rooms that you can take just about anywhere. But that makes it so much better when a motorhome or trailer nails both functionality and aesthetics. It seems to me that bus conversions seem to hit it out of the park most in this regard....

Designed to maintain perfect weather and built with the best materials and know-how, they will also be a beautiful decoration for every man or woman’s wrist. The classic brands are Cartier and Role, but there are rather obscure Swiss watch brands like Audemars Piguet, Bell & Ross, Christian Dior, and Montblanc, to name a few. What they have in common is that they are expensive and are manufactured with the highest precision in craftsmanship and design....
