Motor Racing technology trickles down to consumer

When we talk about motor racing, most of us think of fast cars, high octane fuel, fiery crashes and of course "grid girls"….but what we don't recognise is that the technology developed for the racing industry is what is keeping our very own cars running safe and smoothly on the road! .

  • 'Appointment' or a passionate 'Calling'

    US President Ronald Reagan whose 1980-88 Presidency initiated the process that eventually saw the \'iron curtain\' pulled down, was also instrumental in having the US Military Chaplaincy Corp model change from denominational appointment representation to a \'market place\' ruling, that of a \'Calling to Military Chaplaincy\'.

  • New Zealand's 1976 Olympic Gold hockey secret ..

    Tweed Heads: Australian author Mark Tronson had within his second of five \'field hockey\' books "World Hockey" (published in 1984), a 10 page feature article about the New Zealand men\'s hockey team and its remarkable Montreal 1976 Olympic \'Gold Medal\' when it defeated Australia, 1-0.

  • God 1, Dawkins 0

    There are 66 books in the Bible, but they all tell one simple story – and it happens to be a love story. It is your typical three-part love story: boy meets girls; girl rejects boy; boy wins back girl. That at least is the simple version of events.

  • Turning Rapists into Heroes

    The last few days I have been sitting around in disbelief, wondering if the world has gone mad – or at least many members of the artistic community. Leave it to our arty elites to seek to defend the indefensible. I refer of course to the Roman Polanski case, and how so many of our cultured bigwigs are seeking to turn him into some sort of noble martyr.

  • Funding Tertiary Education

    University is a wonderful season in life. It\'s an exciting time of knowledge acquisition and personal growth. Not to mention the opportunity to interact with interesting people from a range of backgrounds who often end up being life long friends and even spouses. Oh the good old days!

    C.S. Lewis once warned about the danger of appending the words "and…" to "Jesus". That is, phrases like 'Jesus and socialism', 'Jesus and liberalism', etc, were all to be studiously avoided. By this he meant that Jesus and the gospel can never be tied down to any one ideology, political party, agenda or cause.

  • The Poison of Religious Vilification Laws

    Among the worst laws to have been recently enacted are religious vilification laws. They are a direct threat to freedom of speech, freedom of religion, and freedom of conscience. They serve no useful purpose in a democratic society. But such laws greatly appeal to secularists and statists who seek to stifle the proclamation of the Christian gospel.

  • Encouragement in the Face of Battle

    Christians hold two passports. We are citizens of this world, but also of the next. Thus there is always tension in this life. Indeed, there is an ongoing struggle, a spiritual war which we daily find ourselves in. Those who take their faith seriously and seek to make a difference for Christ and his Kingdom will know firsthand of the many struggles, and will have their share of battle scars.

  • Rural and City Air

    The contrast could not be so obvious between sports and the corporate world, in that a surprisingly large number of Australia\'s top athletes were raised in rural and regional areas whereas those in corporate Australia are generally city types.

  • What might be these privileges?
