![]() ![]() ![]() Kicking into sport mode does quicken gear shifts and throttle response slightly, however it is still a frustrating unit that we think in this case is inferior to a torque-converter automatic transmission. ![]() ![]() Our main gripe with the 35 TFSI is its six-speed dual-clutch automatic, which gives a spongy, delayed pedal response and is generally sluggish when shifting and responding to throttle inputs. In the middle of the rev range the 35 TFSI has a greater deal of punch, however it is still relatively slow off the line, as evidenced by its 9.3-second 0-100km/h sprint time. Performance from the 1.4-litre mill is appropriate but modest, and is better suited as a regular daily driver as opposed to a small family car that can pull double duty as a fun hot-hatch-like SUV. The entry-level 35 TFSI uses a powertrain that should by now be familiar to those who know Volkswagen Group products – a 1.4-litre turbo-petrol four-cylinder developing 110kW/250Nm, driving the front wheels via a six-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. With its sloping roofline, headroom for rear occupants over 6ft tall is marginal, however the Q3 does offer comfortable lateral room.Īudi has done a good job of retaining the same amount of load space below the tonneau cover in the Sportback (530L), however with the rear seats folded, it does sacrifice 125L. This level of spec is generous for an entry-level offering, while the 40 TFSI adds quality features such as comfortable heated and electric front seats with side bolstering and leather/Alcantara trim, the S-line sports steering wheel with paddle shifters which sits perfectly in the hands, a 10-speaker premium sound system and a larger 12.3-inch Virtual Cockpit instrument cluster display.ĭespite being one of the first brands to offer a digital instrument cluster, Audi’s display remains a benchmark thanks to its extensive customisation, which surpasses anything Mercedes or BMW can offer.Īudi’s MMI infotainment system features slick graphics and a relatively easy interface to navigate, however the move to integrate controls into the touchscreen – a trend multiple car-makers have jumped on in order to declutter the cabin – has made the process of navigating the MMI more fiddly and difficult.Īudi models previously offered a button/dial set-up placed on the centre console similar to BMW’s iDrive controller, which took up some space but generally meant you could spend far more time with your eyes on the road while navigating the system. Inside, the stylish theme continues, with Audi living up to its reputation as one of the best brands in the business when it comes to a clean and sophisticated interior layout.īoth the 35 TFSI and 40 TFSI feature a comfortable and well-specified cabin, with generous standard specification including dual digital infotainment and instrument cluster, leather upholstery, wireless phone charging and dual-zone climate-control air-conditioning for the 35 TFSI. The sloped-back silhouette, larger alloy wheels and S-line exterior styling enhancements make for one of the most stylish small SUVs on the market, clearly fitting the bill of a visually enhanced Q3. The biggest distinguishing factor of the Q3 Sportback is its exterior styling, which in the flesh makes for a far more dynamic and sportier look than the regular Q3. Variant choice mirrors that in the Q3, with the entry-level 35 TFSI, more potent 40 TFSI quattro and exclusive 35 TFSI Launch Edition being offered out of the gate, which will be followed by the hi-po RS Q3 around August. The Q3 Sportback range largely mirrors that of the regular Q3, with the same choice of variants and a slightly enhanced level of specification, which results in a roughly $3000 premium over the wagon body. With a sportier overall design and some minor spec changes, has the Sportback emerged as the most desirable iteration of the new-generation Q3? ONE of the most unexpectedly popular automotive trends of the past decade has to be the coupe-style SUV, giving customers the option of a sportier look for their SUV, which has been slowly surpassing passenger cars as Australia’s favourite vehicle type.įirst kicked off by BMW with the X6, other brands have jumped on the coupe-style SUV bandwagon with models like the Mercedes GLC and GLE Coupes, the Porsche Cayenne Coupe and the Audi Q8.Īudi wasn’t satisfied with having the top-spec Q8 as its only slope-backed SUV, and as such has introduced the Sportback body style to its popular Q3 small SUV, which arrived in new-generation guise late last year. ![]()

Lou Reed wasn’t merely a guest in English glam-rock party, in fact he was one of its main influences. Lou Reed + Bowie, a great producer and two great songwriters, what are you asking for?Īn album definitive of the glam takeover of the 70s, Transformer sees Reed at his most depraved, melodic and vital. etItBe.jpgĮverything a great rock record should be: Funny, irreverent, heartfelt, catchy. The travails of womanhood are blazed thoroughly with this record, and every emotion is stretched to its fullest potential. Phase 2 of Björk's career begins with Homogenic, which makes her previous material sound rather peurile in comparison. And she gives everything she got to every song, and I like that. Her songwriting, her voice, the string arrangements and beats, place her in my mind above the genre, towards the universal of pop music. But after Kurt's death the boys in the back realized how important of an event it really was.įor her third album, Björk achieved the perfect trip-hop album. Only the Ledbelly cover was released on the B-Side of the Pennyroyal Tea single. At first no one thought of it as an album. All in all it was a fitting epitaph to Nirvana's brief reign. Three tracks from the second Meat Puppets album were performed, during which Meat Puppets Cris and Curt Kirkwood joined the group onstage. How many expected a Bowie song? And an obscure one at that, which was light years away from the Nirvana catalogue? In fact covers were the theme for the night, occupying half the setlist. ![]() Cobain's love for indie groups like the Pixies, Sonic Youth and The Melvins was well documented. Instead the show-stoppers were "Dumb", "Something in the Way", a very believable "All Apologies" and surprise covers of Bowie's "The Man Who Sold the World" and Ledbelly's "Where Did You Sleep Last Night". No "Lithium", no "Smells Like Teen Spirit", no "Heart-Shaped Box" or "Rape Me", barely a "Come As You Are". At this concert, broadcast months before his suicide, Cobain wasn't just sensitive, he was tortured. AA280_.jpgįans: (did not appear in any individual top ten)Įveryone knew Cobain could rock but many denied his sensitive side. If Cobain’s and Vedder’s fortunes had been reversed, we’d probably be talking about this album a lot differently. When you consider the singles it generated: "Jeremy", "Alive", "Once", "Even Flow", and other highlights such as the underrated gem “Black”, the gorgeous “Oceans” (which to me will always be the first song on Side B) and the cathartic closer “Release”, what you've got is a record that's packed to the gills with greatness. Nevermind may get all the press (and deservedly so), but Ten might have as many good moments. Because nostalgia plays a huge role with this album in particular, I suppose I’d feel uncomfortable with this pick if it wasn’t for the fact that it’s a damn good record - and doing my best to think critically here, one could make the argument that it's maybe the best album that came out of Seattle in the early ‘90s. But even though it's always with me in a way, hitting play or dropping the needle still brings the same excitement now that it did when I was 10. Having grown up with this album, it's something that I don't listen to regularly, but I don't need to - 16 years has tattooed it onto my musical conscience I know every lyric, every note (vocal and musical), every high-hat hit and cymbal crash - every subtle nuance of the recording. ![]() Like a few of my other favorite albums, Ten’s place on my list owes a lot to nostalgia I was a nine year-old kid vacationing with family in Seattle when it was released in 1991, and it was the first CD that I ever owned. It is very personal and full of emotions, from sadness to love and to irony. But the performng took place after that, that's why this very progressive album never falls in the traps of progressive music. Well, the legend is partially wrong because it turns out most of the songs were written in italy before Wyatt's accident. Of course like any masterpiece, there's the legend behind, the fall, the hospital, the writing. Then you enter another world, with this strange, uterine voice as a guide. Listening to this record is like taking a walk under the sea and realizing you can breathe. Horses presents a beautiful clash of proto-punk musical punch and acute literary sensibilities, rendering it one of the most impressive debuts in rock history. ![]() ![]() The Ramadan permits were also suspended for Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, including permits to visit relatives in Israel, travel abroad and attend prayers at the Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem. ![]() Israel considers the Ramadan permits a goodwill gesture toward Palestinians. Israel on Thursday suspended most of 83,000 special permits for Palestinians to visit Israel during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, and beefed up police patrols in Tel Aviv. “The realization of a just peace, and creating a positive climate, that is what will lead to the lowering of tension and violence in the region,” the statement continues. “The presidency has repeatedly rejected all operations against civilians from any party, no matter what the justification.” Speaking to Army Radio he said: “We might be the only country in the world where another nation is under occupation without civil rights (.) You can’t hold people in a situation of occupation and hope they’ll reach the conclusion everything is alright.”įor his part Palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas said in a statement that he rejected all attacks on civilians. However in the aftermath of the shooting Tel Aviv’s mayor Ron Huldai struck a markedly different tone on Thursday - and stoked controversy - by linking the continuing violence to Israel’s occupation of the Palestinian territories. “There will be intensive action by the police, the army and other security services, not just to catch every accomplice to this murder but also to prevent further incidents.” “We discussed a range of offensive and defensive steps which we shall take in order to act against this phenomenon,” Netanyahu’s office quoted the premier as saying. The Israeli prime minister, Binyamin Netanyahu, met his defence minister and security leaders shortly after the attack and then travelled to the scene. The shooting – in the first week of Ramadan – occurred when Israelis were getting used to a recent and marked drop in the recent months of violence and in one of the softest of targets – in a restaurant in an area of restored buildings popular with both residents and tourists and soldiers from the nearby military headquarters. Israeli policemen arrest a suspect man shortly after the shooting attack. I saw wounded people on the floor and helped one of them until a paramedic arrived.” I also fled and then I returned to the restaurant to see if there were any more people. When the shooting began people tried to flee into our kitchen. “They didn’t look like ultra-Orthodox people. Yosef Jibrin, a barman at Max Brenner, commented to Ynet on initial reports that the men may have disguised themselves as observant Jews. The two of them simply took the guns out and opened fire.” Suddenly they pulled guns out and starting firing. “They had bags and they ordered something to eat. The restaurant’s manager told the Ynet news website what he recalled: “I was sitting in the restaurant and they were acting like any regular customer. The attack was welcomed by Hamas, the Islamic militant group that rules Gaza. The attack, it appears, lasted a minute before one of the assailants was shot by a security guard while the other was arrested by police.

The single engine option limits the wide-ranging appeal of the RDX, but it's difficult to fault the combination of refinement, power, and efficiency delivered by the V6. Yes, the infotainment system needs to be simplified, but with familiarization becomes easier to use. With an exemplary safety rating and good anticipated reliability, the RDX offers long-term peace of mind.įlaws are few and far between and don't seriously dampen the appeal of the RDX. Equipment levels are superior to other vehicles in the class, with even the standard model being decently specified.ĭynamically, the RDX prioritizes comfort over outright sportiness, but it does so with aplomb, especially when accompanied by the smooth, easy power available from the V6. The cargo area is also practical in its design and will serve the needs of most small families. While the styling may have aged, the RDX still offers one of the most accommodating and comfortable interiors in its class. Still, these unflattering characteristics are less of an issue in everyday driving, where the RDX feels refined, controlled, and more than worthy of its place in the luxury compact SUV segment.īraking ability is good, the RDX maintaining straight-line stability under hard braking and proving resistant to fade even following several stops.ĭespite being in the twilight of its model life, the 2018 Acura RDX is still a top contender in its segment. Both grip levels and body roll containment can't be described as sporting, although the AWD model is, of course, the superior driving partner under these conditions. For starters, the electric power steering isn't the most accurate and requires tiny corrections midway through corners to stay on track. It's when hustling the RDX through a couple of tight curves that some imperfections start to permeate its otherwise polished demeanor. Adding to the effect is a particularly hushed cabin, the RDX being even quieter than a Lexus NX. With an absorbent and smooth quality of ride under varying conditions, it never feels unruffled and does an excellent job of masking surface changes from occupants. The RDX prioritizes comfort over ultimate dynamic ability, a setup which should please the majority of buyers. With an MSRP ranging from $36,000 to $44,200, even specifying the range-topping RDX means it is priced on par with a far more basic BMW X3 or Jaguar F-Pace. Although the interior is generally inviting, the infotainment system feels dated and the overall design is rather plain. Three optional packages add even more equipment, with the AcuraWatch Plus adding several driver assistance features, the Technology Package adding an upgraded audio system and seats, and the Advance Package packing on extras such as ventilated seats and remote engine start. ![]() ![]() Even in base form, the RDX is brilliantly equipped, with features such as automatic LED headlights, a power liftgate, a sunroof, and heated and powered front seats. Power is sent to the front wheels as standard, but the RDX can be specified with all-wheel drive as well. The responsive 3.5-liter V6 engine delivers 279 horsepower and 252 lb-ft of torque and pairs well with a smooth six-speed automatic transmission. Acura's second-generation RDX has aged gracefully and is one of the top players in the luxury compact SUV class, combining a classy driving experience with lots of space, an excellent V6 engine, and all at a price that undercuts most of the competition. ![]() ![]() With every crew member determined to uncover the spirits of their haunted locations, there is little to no interesting conflict created that would be typical of reality television - except the conflict between investigators and ghosts, which we as the audience can’t witness. ![]() This is especially problematic because they are the audience’s only lens into the horrors they experience. The eclectic collection of psychics and investigators in the show contribute little excitement, their proclamations of visions and spiritual energies becoming unbearably repetitive at times. ![]() Sadly, that’s simply another element on which the show does not deliver. Now, maybe a comical and charismatic cast of characters could have made “28 Days Haunted” at least somewhat worth watching. Perhaps the show’s corniness could have been alleviated by the use of a different production style or genre of show, but Netflix’s overly ambitious choice of the reality TV genre for “28 Days Haunted” made escaping clichés all but impossible. ![]() Listening to a bunch of psychics ramble about dark energy and visions of death and blood for half an hour can be difficult to take seriously - and that is essentially the entirety of “28 Days Haunted.” Unfortunately, the cringey elements of the show aren’t limited to simply the dialogue - the imagery and production style, while classic for your typical ghost-hunting show, are a little old-fashioned for a Netflix reality TV show. The show is simply not scary.īecause the storyline of “28 Days Haunted” is completely dependent on the ghost hunters’ perspectives, many of their reports of paranormal activity simply come off as insincere and corny. It may be a horror show for the show’s participants, but the viewer has no reason to agree or be interested whatsoever. Although the audience does witness the visceral reactions of the investigators as they (assumedly) encounter the supernatural, these otherworldly interactions can only be observed by the audience, giving us little to no thrill or excitement. The main drawback of “28 Days Haunted,” and the issue that prevents it from packing any sort of supernatural punch is perspective. In both the world of paranormal investigation and reality television, “28 Days Haunted” is voyaging into uncharted TV territory - but unfortunately, it’s not as thrilling as one would hope. The experienced investigators range from psychics and mediums to demonologists and paranormal researchers, all hoping to further their understanding of the supernatural with the successful completion of the 28-day cycle. Regardless of the supposed validity of their past works, “28 Days Haunted” aims to recreate the Warrens’ 28-day cycle with three different groups of investigators in three different locations, each thought to be haunted: Madison Dry Goods Store in North Carolina, the Lumber Baron Inn of Denver, and Captain Grant’s Inn of Preston, Conn. Although the Warrens are famous figures in the history of ghost hunting, the integrity of their work has often been called into question, with some claiming all of their recorded investigations and stories to be fraudulent. The Warrens have claimed that the key to a successful paranormal investigation and creating a true connection with any spirits is their 28-day cycle, which requires investigators to remain in their place of study for a full 28 days with no contact with the outside world. A self-taught demonologist and a clairvoyant, respectively, the Warrens have famously led hundreds of ghost hunts, seances and spirit searches - the stories of which have been the origins for several famous horror movies such as “ The Amityville Horror,” “ Annabelle,” “ The Conjuring” and many more. “28 Days Haunted” is a peculiar combination of paranormal investigation and reality television based on the theories and techniques of infamous so-called experts of the paranormal, Ed and Lorraine Warren. ![]() The result? The unbelievably corny display that is “28 Days Haunted.” Everyone loves a good freaky fall thrill, which is what Netflix attempts to provide in their new show “28 Days Haunted.” Tagged by Netflix as reality television and TV horror, “28 Days Haunted” makes a tragic attempt at combining ghost hunting with the usually lovable reality TV tropes of forced proximity and isolation. With Halloween just around the corner, it’s the time of year for ghosts, witches, ghouls and midterms. ![]() ![]() The Raising of America is a five-part documentary that explores the question: Why are so many children in America faring so poorly?

The series investigates these questions through different lenses: What does science tell us about the enduring importance of early life experiences on the brain and body? What it is like to be a parent today? And what policies and structures help or hinder the raising of healthy, happy and compassionate children?ĭREAM ON features political comedian John Fugelsang as he retraces the journey of Alexis de Tocqueville, whose study of our young country in 1831 came to define America as a place where anyone could climb the ladder of economic opportunity. Host Brooke Gladstone traveled to Ohio, a state that encompasses all types of poverty - rural, inner city, and rust belt - to hear from individuals who are poor how they got that way, and to understand, under current policies, why they are likely to stay that way. ![]() “Busted: America’s Poverty Myths” is a five-part series exploring how our understanding of the causes of poverty are formed not by facts, but by myths, media, and the tales of the American dream.

The children interviewed in the documentary all stated that they wanted to break the cycle of poverty, and acknowledged that “coming out of poverty is possible but challenging.” Not only do these children have monetary hardships, but they also struggle with the emotional challenges that come along with isolation and lack of education. In particular, Ohio is home to some of the most impoverished communities in the country, which results in many children living in poverty. Many parents depended on TANF (Temporary Assistance for Needy Families) and food stamps to get by. ![]() With schools shutting down across the nation, parents had to be dependent on other people and organizations to feed their children. The COVID-19 pandemic has not been friendly to American families who have struggled in the past to make ends meet.
