CarTalk June 20, 2016

I am constantly surprised by how much automotive news there is to speak about each week.

The journalists from Motoringme.com join me in the studio and we talk cars!

THE PODCAST LINK.



This week's speaking notes.




Quick question pls: going to Germany/Switzerland on holiday next week. 4 adults & a baby touring around. Shud we hire a VW Touran, a Ford S-Max, Ford Galaxy or the VW Caddy? Tks, Vivek



I attended the Jeep Jamboree in Dubai in 2013 in my Wrangler TJ soft top with 2.5 inch lift kit and modified air intake. Horribly disorganised event by Al Futtaim. First and last time I ever attended. Kashif

[Can you plz tell us again who fixes dents for 450

I am looking for some kind of adventure group I can join to add some activity into my boring 'work 9 to 5, monday to thursday & sleep in weekend' life. I have a grand cherokee 2014 limited 3.7 litre. Is this a car I can use for weekend off-roading/adventures and also use as my everyday car or should I invest in a 2nd car to use for off-roading? Can you also suggest a good club/group I can join that is off-roading beginner friendly.


-what are you driving?

-like the renegade but not buying just yet
-what about the in between?
Ram from 99,999

-Honda CrossTour?
-Sunny vs Corolla
-That little Alfa is sweet
-now this is a cabriolet

With so many high-powered cabrios coming from the likes of Bentley, Rolls-Royce, and Aston Martin, you'd probably think that the world's fastest, most powerful four-seat convertible came from the UK. Only it doesn't. It's the Mercedes you see here, customized by Brabus, and it just made the journey from Germany to France to debut at the 24 Hours of Le Mans.

The open-top rocket sled is dubbed the Brabus 850 6.0 Biturbo Cabrio, but as you might have guessed, it's based on the Mercedes-AMG S63 Cabriolet. The donor vehicle already packs 577 horsepower from its 5.5-liter twin-turbo V8, propelling it to 60 in 3.8 seconds (or 62 in 4.1 for comparison's sake) en route to an electronically limited top speed of 155 miles per hour. But in signature style, Brabus has completely overhauled the engine.

GetFitRadio June 16, 2015



Zelda Higgins from Zayed University joins me on a weekly basis to talk about your fitness!

THE PODCAST!

And here are all the links to the conversation!

Mr. Higgins program update

  1. the swimsuit slim down, might work?

2. doing a shared workout over skype, cool idea!

3. how to get more bang for the crunch

4. Pumpkin Pie bars!

5. Triple layered breakfast apple sandwich

6. How to add inches to a chest.

7. treadmill desks!
The results, when the researchers compared the treadmill walkers with the people sitting at their desks, substantially favored sitting. The people who had walked during the testing performed worse on almost all aspects of thinking, including the ability to concentrate and remember, compared with those who had been seated.
And they were much worse at typing, being substantially slower and more error prone than the sitting group.

8. Prioritising health is not bad.

9. how do I get a flat stomach?

10. can’t do chin ups any suggestions?
11. Which is better for your body and why: yoga or Pilates?

12. Are abdominal exercises effective if I want to lose extra fat around my stomach?

13. I have no time to exercise anything you suggest?

Employee Trust Call-in May 27, 2015


We had a very simple question for the Wednesday call-in, can we trust the people who work for us?


The callers we had all had interesting takes on the question and are well worth a listen to.





Here is a look a the talking notes we worked from!


What is the purpose of office security?
Are we untrustworthy as employees?
Using office resources a problem?
Monitoring of email, phone, social media, internet
http://www.creditdonkey.com/employee-theft-statistics.html


Here is what the listeners had to say!

I work on the weekends and in the evening -  using my printer and my paper. I answer phones and emails outside office hours and sometimes answer personal calls and emails in office hours. The boundary between work and home/work life is more blurred than 10 yrs ago so I don't think it's theft or less trust - unless it was serious abuse. One ream of paper and a bit of stationery to Top up what you have used... Really?

First advice my Dad gave me on mu first day at work is dont take any thing from office. Apart from personal copies . i have followed his in my 20 years of working life. pramod
5/27/2015 9:18:27 PM 971506148458 People are generally honest. A person would steal or cheat their employers only when they're asking for it (how far would an individual have to be pushed to do such a thing? What's your limit?) 

Security searches? Definitely asking for it!

There's milk on my desk.eave it alone. Stef.

photocopy machine tracking for document control not for cost savings

 


Just some personal experience on the matter. When I worked in US (for a large public organization) I did make copies, used some folders and in general utilized things at the office for my personal use sometimes. However, before I would use something I would ask and tell why I need this or that my boss every time. In the beginning my boss refused me few times but after a while he pretty much would allow me to do anything (within reasons of course). It made me feel easier because it was not at the back of my mind that I did something wrongful. I always delivered on my goals and at some point I was even allowed to listen to music at work because I showed it increased my performance.

The ME Indie Jukebox with Triplew.ME



It is time for an hour of the best independently recorded music from the Middle East.

The Wanton Bishops howl and stomp - 'Bad Liver and a Broken Heart'

El Dore El Awal - Aa'tareeq
Adonis - Fi Zini Ktir

Chronicles of Khan - Flash Funk
