    Lotus Tells Us Why the Theory 1 Concept Is So Important





    'You can't ignore [the past], because one of the most important things we have is our heritage.'
    Most concept cars promise to run on unicorn ****, pump out 9,000 horsepower, deliver nano-second 0-60 mph times, and even cook your dinner if you ask nicely. We’ve often thought, "What a nice concept, it’ll never happen." They’re show-stoppers meant to highlight something that could possibly, maybe appear one day on a family sedan. And while they’re a neat distraction from the mundanities of the 9-5, they ultimately mean very little.

    "You can't ignore [the past], because one of the most important things we have is our heritage. Ignore that at your peril. It's extremely important we don't just do something that looks beautiful. It needs to have some genuine story behind it—how we can explain why it does certain things, or why it looks that way," Payne said.

    30 downsides to having lots of money.

    Not kidding........

    1. Other people probably hate you. eek!

    One of the major downsides to being super-rich is the amount of hate you invariably get. A recent study by Ohio State University and Cornell University found that most people resent the mega-wealthy as a socioeconomic class, yet admire individual billionaires. Other surveys have shown that many ordinary folk consider the richest members of society to be greedy, dishonest people who don't pay enough taxes, and are to blame for wealth inequality.

    For Richer for Poorer the up, side of being poor. ?

    Growing up poor gives you a perspective that those who come from more privileged backgrounds can never fully understand. You know what it’s like to struggle, to go without, to fight for every opportunity. But you also know the value of resilience, resourcefulness, and gratitude. You understand that money isn’t everything, and that the most important things in life — love, family, community — are priceless. Growing up poor shapes you in ways that can never be undone, for better or for worse. But it also gives you a strength and a wisdom that can never be taken away.

    Birds in your garden can bring us a lot of joy, particularly in the colder months of autumn and winter.

    People should be taking some small and easy steps to make sure the creatures are protected in the next few months. Birds need protection from predators, Peckish Bird Food advised and nest boxes, also known as bird boxes, are a great way of doing that.

    The business said: “Birds need protection from predators. A garden with trees, shrubs and hedges are perfect for birds to rest, feed and nest. Nest boxes are also ideal protection. Make sure existing nest boxes are cleaned before the nesting season begins and any new nest boxes are put up prior to the nesting season so birds become familiar with them.”

    My bird box cleaned and back on the wall ready for next year just in case ......

    Robot Wars........ China pulling the Wool over mechanical Fish Whale.

    AChinese aquarium that had been shut for five years while renovation work took place finally reopened to October 1 and it had a new star attraction to wow its visitors.

    There was a much-hyped whale shark that would be on display for people of all ages to get a glimpse of at the Xiaomeisha Sea World in Shenzhen.

    New York Post said that during its week-long dry run, the ocean zoo attracted around 100,000 visitors who paid around $40 (£30) to enter.

    But visitors quickly realised that things weren't all they seemed.

    A lot of people felt cheated out of their money when they realised the sea beast was actually a metal robot swimming around and not the real thing.
    One said: "The venue isn't large enough and even the whale shark is artificial. By 3 o'clock, people were already demanding refunds."

    Another posted: "The most disappointing part was the whale sark exhibit. When I heard the name, I was full of anticipation but when I arrived, I saw a mechanical whale shark. It's not interesting at all."
