Across the line, build quality is tight, materials selection is mostly excellent, and quietness is a strength. Wagon models have even more versatility, with fold-down seats, an open cargo space, and two temporary-duty, rear-facing third-row seats available on non-AMG models. Coupes and convertibles can carry four, with relatively big back seats. The E-Class sedan seats five adults comfortably. Interior space was improved with the latest E-Class redesign, with excellent head and leg room for both the front and back seats. The E63 AMG kicks the whole show up a notch, with a reworked AMG-tuned suspension and lots of power. Regardless of the model or engine chosen, however, the E-Class range rewards the driver with available adjustable suspension settings, a responsive seven-speed automatic, and improved, yet still comfortable, driving dynamics. The choice between the two should factor mostly on whether you post more city or highway miles, respectively. There's also an E400 Hybrid that shares lithium-ion batteries and motors with the S400 Hybrid, and earns a 30-mpg highway rating. The E250 BlueTEC gives up some torque and a bit of acceleration to the outgoing six-cylinder E350 BlueTEC turbodiesel-but since it's a four-cylinder, highway fuel economy is 42 mpg. Two green versions make the E-Class one of the few vehicles sold anywhere in the world to have gas, gas-electric, and diesel drivetrains. Any of these versions accelerates to 60 mph in 7 seconds or less-with the AMG versions throttling the pavement into submission into as few as 4 seconds. Mercedes' 4Matic all-wheel drive is also optional on some coupes and much of the sedan range (and standard on wagons), and it's also standard on the AMG versions this year. At the top of the gas-powered lineup, a spooled-up E63 AMG performance edition now churns out 550 hp from a 5.5-liter biturbo V-8-or, in "S" trim, 577 hp. A new twin-turbo E400 makes 329 hp, replacing the E350 in some body styles and the E550 in others. ![]() The basic E350 gasoline engine has direct injection and makes 302 horsepower, while the 4.6-liter twin-turbo V-8 in the E550 throbs with 402 horsepower. It takes to expressive use of trim very well: the standard vinyl and wood can be upgraded to supple leather, aluminum or carbon-look trim, or furniture-grade wood.Ī huge range in drivetrain offerings almost guarantees there's an E-Class for any point on the economy/performance curve. The E-Class' cabin fared better, especially after a recent refashioning, and the fine materials and trims we've come to associate with Mercedes are in full effect, as is the solidly constructed feel of most of the controls. ![]() It's less busy-maybe less interesting to some-and the new design is undoubtedly sleeker and more elegant. The other major design changes include the clean-up of the rear quarter panels, now without the flared and creased look of the last four model years, and LED running lights and taillamps with a signature night-time look. Luxury models wear a three-bar grille and a star on the hood, while Sport models get the star integrated in the grille itself. The E-Class' unmistakable German presence is now a bit softer, having lost its starched lines last year. See our Mercedes-Benz E-Class page for information on the history of this model lineįor the 2015 model year the E-Class is offered as a E250 BlueTEC sedan an E350 sedan or wagon an E400 sedan, wagon, coupe or cabriolet an E550 coupe or cabriolet and an E63 AMG sedan and wagon. This year, the E-Class gets a new twin-turbocharged V-6 engine that's sprinkled throughout the lineup. Last year brought improved fuel economy and performance, more safety technology, and a cleaner look. Since its last full redesign in 2010, the E-Class has improved in several graduated steps. Add to that a choice of rear- or all-wheel drive, and five different engine options, including an AMG variant that puts out up to 577 hp, a diesel, and a hybrid. ![]() There's a traditional sedan and wagon, as well as coupe and convertible models. The E-Class offers many different options for a wide variety of buyers. The Mercedes-Benz E-Class is many things to many people, but at the core, the E-Class is a comfortable mid-size car that does luxury right and can even be a bit of fun to drive.

![]() For SciPlore MindMapping we recommended using BibTeX4Word but BibTeX4Word is not very user friendly (neither the installation, nor the use in MS Word, nor installing new citation styles). The probably biggest advantage other reference managers such as Zotero and Mendeley have over Docear is their good integration with Microsoft Word and OpenOffice. It also allows you to use your data on several computers with different operating systems. That means you can move your mind maps within the workspace and all links to PDF files will still work. All links in mind maps are set relative to the workspace. There is also another advantage of having a workspace. Of course you can still create new mind maps for each of your assignments, papers or books you are currently writing. Another one is for managing all your annotations, another one for your own publications. For instance, one that lists only your new PDF files. In the workspace you have several mind maps. We believe this workspace makes Docear much easier to understand for new users. It is no problem to use Mendeley for managing your PDFs (and extract metadata) and use Mendeley’s BibTeX file in Docear. You can still use any other BibTeX compatible reference manager as well and also our support for Mendeley now is improved. You don’t have to use our integrated reference manager. Compatibility with other reference Managers Of course, you can still install JabRef in parallel and work as you are used with SciPlore MindMapping. That means you can directly create references in Docear, add them to nodes (even if they don’t have a link to a PDF), edit references in the mind map and they will automatically be changed in the BibTeX file, and you have all the wonderful standard features that JabRef offers. Or better said: we fully integrated one of the best available reference managers, namely JabRef. ![]() Integrated Reference Managerĭocear has it’s own BibTeX compatible reference manager. If you have ideas for new features regarding the mind mapping functionality, the Freeplane team will be happy to hear them. Also, the Freeplane development team is highly responsive to user feedback. You do not need to wait until we have adjusted Docear to the new Freeplane version. That means, if a new version of Freeplane is released you can just install it and Docear will work with the new version. Free floating nodes, displaying images), is faster, more stable and above all: Freeplane has a great plugin system that allows us offering Docear as a plugin for Freeplane. Freeplane has many more features compared to FreeMind (e.g. The new Docear is based on Freeplane, a really exceptional piece of software. The old SciPlore MindMapping was based on FreeMind, a good and popular but not very well maintained mind mapping software. Here is again an overview of the major changes between Docear and its predecessor SciPlore MindMapping. ![]() Watch this video to get a better idea of what Docear can do (watch it in full-screen mode). a research paper, copy your annotations to the draft and if you need more information you just click on the PDF annotation and the PDF will open on the page the annotation was made. Subsequently, you can create a new mind map, drag e.g. With the integrated reference manager, bibliographic data can be added to each of the PDF annotations (and all other nodes in the mind map). In this mind map you can organize all your annotations into categories, create further nodes and add more text. These PDF annotations are then imported by Docear to a mind map. To create bookmarks and comments, you can use almost any PDF reader (highlighting text is a bit more complicated). That means, you highlight text, write comments, or create bookmarks in the PDF. The main idea behind Docear is that you annotate everything you consider important in a PDF. It’s a Beta version and still has some bugs and missing features but overall it will give you a thorough impression of what we consider an academic literature suite should be. Today, on February 15th, 2012 we released the first public version of Docear. An asset with an effective life of 20 years, acquired after 26 February 1992 and before 1 July 2001, is leased for 4 years. A residual value lower than those outlined in the applicable table may be used where a well considered and fair estimate of the likely market value of the item at the end of the lease would result in a lower value.ĥ. The minimum residual value should be calculated using the cost of the asset at the commencement of the total lease period.Ĥ. The first column in the table set out in paragraph 3A of this Determination titled 'Total leased period' provides that the minimum residual value should be calculated based on the total number of years the asset has been leased for, whether this has resulted from a single lease or multiple lease agreements. Minimum residual value as a percentage of cost = 75% - ģB. The figures in the above table follow the methodology set out in paragraph 2 of this Determination which can also be expressed as: Plant and machinery classified according to effective life in years Minimum residual values - percentage of cost ![]() A table based on effective lives, rather than depreciation rates, is set out below. It is not based on actual depreciation allowable, whether by the diminishing value method or at accelerated or broadbanded rates, although the table in IT 28 was set out, for convenience, according to prime cost depreciation rates.ģ. It is based on a straight-line amortisation of the cost of an item over its effective life, requiring a minimum residual value of 75% of the cost written down in that way. 20 of IT 28 is intended to be a rough guide to the minimum market value of items with different effective lives. The residual value of a leased item should reflect its market value at the end of the lease, not its written-down value.Ģ. However, this Determination does not apply to taxpayers to the extent that it conflicts with the terms of a settlement of a dispute agreed to before the date of issue of the Determination (see paragraphs 21 and 22 of Taxation Ruling TR 92/20).ġ. ![]() Unless otherwise stated, this Determination applies to years commencing both before and after its date of issue.

They pass/throw an object (with a large enough group you can use more than one) around the circle as music plays. If a child in the middle of the circle does get the ball, they trade places with whoever threw the ball. The kids on the outside throw a ball to other kids in the circle trying to keep the kid(s) in the middle from intercepting the ball. Select one, or a small group of kids, to be in the middle of the circle.

I am constantly amazed at how much kids seem to like these games even into later elementary years. Here are nine classic group games you can play with kids in your children’s ministry. Most of you probably know how to play these games, but I’ve included a brief description just in case. Keep this list with you, just in case you need a quick game to play. There is no harm in that, but sometimes the classics can be just as fun and just as fruitful. Oftentimes we look for newest, next greatest, most innovative thing to do with the kids. Remember having a positive experience (aka fun) is one of the things kids need every Sunday. Don’t call it wasted time if the kids are making friends and learning to work together. ![]() Often you just have to improvise your own games. Some lessons have a related game, which is ideal. I was a guest newsposter for GosuGamers (World of Warcraft) a few years ago and for (formerly ) I was previously an employee of the OGaming Network (2003), and IncGamers (2008-2010).

I use water-based acrylic paint (latex house paint will work) and thin it so that it flows easily into the panel lines. Since this Corsair has crisply molded-in panel lines and surface detail, the first step was to highlight these details with a medium gray wash applied to the panel line with a fine brush. All that was required was a light spray of glass cleaner to the overall model, a thorough wipe down, and adequate drying time. Since I had decided not to repaint the model, there was no need to remove any of the manufacturer-applied markings, prepare a new stencil or markings, or even mask for color separation. Wipe the excess away with a paper towel and the residual gray will stay in the panel line.īelow: The final appearance of the model is anything but monochromatic and you’ve created a look of realism don’t be afraid to try it! Left: A small artist’s brush is used to flow the gray wash into the molded panel lines. Without the benefit of hangars, covers, shelters, or daily maintenance, they took some serious abuse and it showed. Typically, WW II subjects operating in harsh environments like deserts or salt air will tend to look “beat up” in a shorter amount of time. This search for a weathered appearance is a little bit easier than the complete documentation phase, as you don’t need a specific airplane photos of any airplane operating under similar environmental and service conditions will do. The first-and most important-part of the process involves the “search.” Much like the documentation hunt for that “just right” paint scheme, photos of actual aircraft are essential. While both the refinishing and weathering techniques improve the overall appearance, the refinish changes the look while weathering, or properly done aging, enhances the realism. Equally important is the fact that these techniques can be used even after you’ve repainted your model in order to give it a personalized look. The techniques employed are relatively easy and inexpensive, and you really can’t make a serious mistake. Instead of a complete re-paint, I decided to take the alternative route of using the stock version as a basis for a “weathered,” or in-service look, which the real Corsair was likely to have experienced. For this presentation, I started with the all-foam (EPO) Corsair offered by Tower Hobbies. ![]() From its big, round cowl through its aft cockpit to its unique inverted gull wing, there’s no mistaking a Corsair. The bent-wing bird, as it’s often called, has a look like no other WW II fighter. No doubt about it, among warbirds, the Vought F4U Corsair ranks way up near the top as a favorite with modelers. |
