If one were to edit the Honda Civic recipe down to only its most essential ingredients—a pantry-dinner version of Honda\'s classic compact car—what would make the cut? First to hand would be quality
The original Civic, which came to America in 1973, was neither ground-breaking nor a scorching performer, but was above all a good small car—well-built, reliable, affordable, and drama-free
Charisma is also key: even before it earned its tuner-friendly hot-hatch stripes, the Civic had a reputation as a relatively eager-to-please driver\'s companion among otherwise dull econoboxes
Last into the pot would be innovation, and often of the quirky variety, whether stylistic (think of the third-generation \"tall boy\" wagon or the hovering secondary instrument panel of the mid-Aughts) or technological, as with the clever and fuel-efficient Compound Vortex Controlled Combustion (CVCC) engine in \'75 or the model\'s early adoption of compressed natural gas
But since 1986 Honda has also offered a version of the Civic recipe that added a healthy dash of extra power in the form of an Si-badged variant; the resulting cars became enthusiast favorites, because an enthusiast\'s favorite ingredient is \"more
\"Of course, the new 2017 Honda Civic Si now lives in the shadow of the fire-breathing, 306-horsepower Civic Type R, a car available for the first time to American buyers and one that comes with its 07:43
80 Nürburgring lap time practically tattooed on its hood
In other words, the hardcore American buyer now has a new favorite Civic
But that hardly makes the Si an also-ran; it instead becomes the mid-range driver\'s option for those who don\'t value each of the Type R\'s hundred extra horsepower at $100 per
(Obviously there\'s more to the Type R than just the extra ponies, but whether the upgrades are worth $10,000 over the 205-hp Si\'s $24,775 sticker is a matter of personal taste, and depth of pockets
)The 2017 Honda Civic Si in action in Mojave
It should be acknowledged that the last couple Si models were not the performers that enthusiasts hoped for
But then, the base Civics on which those cars were based weren\'t exactly the quality vehicles on which Honda had built its reputation, either, so it stands to reason
Just looking at the spec sheet here shows several improvements over the outgoing model: the newly turbocharged inline-four engine, while smaller at just 1
5 liters compared to the previous model\'s 2
4, is both more powerful (at the aforementioned 205 hp) and packs more torque, with 192 lb-ft delivered from 2,100 to 5,000 rpm; the car is lighter, too, with the coupe weighing in at just 2,889 pounds and the sedan a mere 17 lbs extra; and even the steering is more decisive, with 2
1 turns lock-to-lock compared with the outgoing model\'s 2
8 The track we used to test the Si was not a racing circuit, which would more befit the Type R, but Honda\'s own development course at its proving grounds in the Mojave desert—low-speed, technical, and tightly packed with elevation changes, blind crests, and cambered turns of various stripes
The better to suss a vehicle\'s composure
You can run the whole thing between third and fourth gears—and you\'ll navigate that route between cogs yourself, since the Si only comes with a manual

Android Developer Story: Made for India - Duration: 3:03.
As you know India is a land of about 1.3 billion people,
has a big demographic divide
with people of multiple income levels,
multiple literacy levels, multiple languages.
What technology can do is to create a common layer
and can actually improve the quality of life of people.
I think the greatest tool we have today in front of us is the smartphone.
And, there's a hell of a lot of things you can do with that
and real world problems you can solve with that.
A mobile phone along with an internet connectivity
just makes everybody stand at the same level.
HealthifyMe is India's largest health and fitness app.
Slowly but surely, an app a day we are keeping
the health momentum and revolution going in the country.
There were no calorie counting tools for this country.
And we are the diabetic and heart problems capital of the world.
And I felt that's a problem of hundreds of millions of Indians
and someone had to build Indian nutritional database.
UrbanClap is an app which helps you
buy very high quality and trusted home services
everything from a beautician to an interior designer
and everything else in the middle.
If you look at the service professional ecosystem in India,
the vast majority of these people,
even though they're good at their craft,
make ten to fifteen thousand rupees a month.
And multiple reasons hinder them from becoming
a fully organised micro-service entrepreneur
who can make forty/ fifty/ sixty thousand rupees a month
and be a real part of India's middle class.
RailYatri is about helping travellers in India
who use railways as a mode of transportation
to make smart decisions.
We have gotten used to tracking an envelope
going from one part of the country to the other part of the world,
why can't we track about half a kilometre long train?
We clearly knew that people use
language for content consumption.
If you look at the readership of newspapers,
if you look at the readership of Bollywood movies,
I mean, they are all in local languages.
So, that came intuitively
rather than any market research done around it,
we intuitively thought about that as a core pivot and
a core reason why people will use our app.
DailyHunt app is one of the most popular apps in the country.
95% of our consumption is in local languages which is non-English.
Today the app is used by three million users everywhere.
We have got nearly 200 coaches and nutritionists
spread all over the country
and our app is one of the highest rated apps in India.
On a monthly basis, we are reaching to about nine million people.
Over a period of time now, we have added
all the routes, hospitals, information and all.
We have about seventy thousand service partners,
who use our app literally every single day.
We continue to serve more than ten thousand customers every single day.
We want to create a million jobs in the service sector in India.
I think my suggestion to everybody
who is thinking about doing something of their own
is don't be scared.
Nobody to the best of my knowledge, has died of entrepreneurship.
If you've got a great idea, just keep at it!
You need to get out of your offices
and go into the real Bharat in India
if you really want to build an app
which has to be successful in India.

Travel requirements for Filipino children - Duration: 6:40.
Travel requirements for Filipino children
There is confusion out there about what is needed for a Filipino child visa holder to
travel from Philippines to Australia, and many get into
quite a worried state about this.
Many also don't quite get how the rules work and how the laws work in
the Philippines.
So it's time that Down Under Visa cleared a few things up.
We'll also explain briefly about the Philippines child protection laws under Republic Act
No. 7610, and what you should know.
Children.
Do they need a DSWD travel clearance?
DSWD stands for Department of Social Welfare and Development.
This is like "Family Services" in Australia.
They make sure, in this case, that kids are not being trafficked off overseas or in the
wrong hands.
So when is a DSWD travel clearance required?
* When there is a Child under 18 traveling alone to a foreign country
* When there is a child under 18 traveling to a foreign country accompanied by someone
other than his or her parents
What it means is that unless there is a court order to the contrary, a child can travel
overseas with their mum and/or dad without a travel clearance
being needed.
Travel clearances and fathers But be aware that an Australian sponsor can't
go and pick up the child of his girlfriend or fiance and
bring them back to Australia.
And as you will read below, there are laws here about adults being in the
company of kids they are not related to, and you don't want to put yourself under a cloud
of suspicion.
And the same issue applies to your own biological children who are born out of wedlock!
If you have children from a de facto relationship in the
Philippines, then those children are not in your legal
custody (explained below), you would need to get a DSWD Travel Clearance for them.
My advice?
Travel with the mum.
Save yourself the headaches.
Australian visa applications and traveling children
For a child to be included in an Australia visa application, they must meet Public Interest
Criteria 4015.
That means: * The law of the child's HOME COUNTRY (ie.
Philippines) allows them to leave the country under
the circumstances of the visa.
* If anyone other than the mum has legal custodial rights over the child, then they give their
consent.
Children born out of wedlock in Philippines are the sole custody of their mother.
If the parents weren't
married, then the father has no say in whether they leave the country or not.
And this is irrespective of whether he puts his name on the birth certificate
(ie. acknowledges paternity) or not, or whether he
lived in a de facto relationship and did all the right things.
He can complain all he likes, but it will achieve
nothing.
It also means that if the parents of the child are still married, even if he was the worst
father in the world and hasn't seen them or supported them
for the last 11 years, we still need his permission before
the children can leave the country.
Unless the court gave full custody to the mother, we will need to
gain his permission or they will remain in Philippines.
Child Protection Laws in Philippines The Philippines for a long time was one of
those countries where the pedophiles would head knowing
that they could safely abuse kids and get away with it.
Things have changed, and there are strict laws in
place to keep kids out of harms way.
And anyone visiting the Philippines needs to be aware of these
laws or you could inadvertently get caught up in them by well-intentioned but possibly
overzealous law enforcement.
Thus my advice to not even try to travel with kids without their mum.
Basically, you can't be in the company of a child whom you have no right or reason to
be around.
Inviting neighbor kids or street kids to watch TV with you, or to accompany you somewhere,
you could find yourself arrested.
Pedophiles have always come up with excuses and justification as to why the
child was behind closed doors with them.
Letting them play computer games.
Giving them a feed.
Giving them clothes or shoes.
Taking them out on a boat for a treat.
Giving them a bed for the night.
Thus some fairly strict laws, thank goodness!
Be aware of these laws and try to appreciate the reasons for them
existing, and be careful not to accidentally do the wrong thing whether well-intentioned
or not.
