"I can think of no human activity more pointless than to murder each other over myths and legends." -- Michael Rivero
Recent testing reveals 92 potentially carcinogenic molecules – and a fungicide – in Bill Gates’ “synthetic” milk which is being sold in grocery stores across America, according to the Health Research Institute (HRI).
The fake milk, sold by Bored Cow, uses a fake whey protein called “ProFerm” made by Gates-funded biotech company and partner Perfect Day. Perfect Day uses genetically modified “microflora” to produce the synthetic milk protein.
HRI, a nonprofit independent lab based in Fairfield, Iowa, examined multiple samples of Bored Cow’s “original” flavor milk using mass spectrometry to test the claim that the synthetic protein it contained was the same as real milk protein.
Synthetic milk has never before been consumed by humans and has not undergone safety testing by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), according to HRI’s Chief Scientist and CEO John Fagan, Ph.D.
The testing results have yet to be published, but Fagan shared a few highlights with The Defender, including that the synthetic milk lacked many important micronutrients found in natural milk such as an omega-3 fatty acid, vitamin E and some B vitamins.
German Eurofighter jets intercepted a Russian aircraft flying over the Baltic Sea, the NATO member's air force said on Saturday, in the latest example of Russian aircraft passing over the region without a transponder.
The NATO fighter jets took off from the Latvian town of Lielvarde, to the southeast of the capital, Riga, on Saturday, the Luftwaffe said in a statement posted to social media.
A Russian Il-20 intelligence aircraft, also referred to by its NATO reporting name, Coot-A, was flying without a transponder over the Baltic, the German air force said. Transponders help authorities identify and track aircraft.
Newsweek has reached out to the Russian Defense Ministry for comment via email.
The House Oversight Committee is still looking into whether the White House influenced Hunter Biden’s decision to defy a congressional subpoena to testify in the impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden.
Per the New York Post, White House visitor logs showed that Hunter’s attorney Abbe Lowell had a meeting with Anthony Bernal, one of First Lady Jill Biden’s top aides, on Dec. 11, two days before Hunter was scheduled to testify before the House Oversight Committee.
Ukraine struck the dome above a shutdown reactor at the Russian-controlled Zaporizhzhia nuclear station on Sunday, though radiation levels were normal and there was no serious damage, the plant's Russian-installed administration said.
It was not immediately clear what weapon was used against the nuclear plant, which was taken by Russian forces shortly after their full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022. The plant said earlier it had been attacked by Ukrainian drones.
The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), which has experts at the site, said it had been informed by the Russian-run plant that a drone had detonated at the site and the information was "consistent" with IAEA observations.
IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi said both sides should refrain from actions which "jeopardise nuclear safety".
The nuclear plant has six Soviet-designed VVER-1000 V-320 water-cooled and water-moderated reactors containing Uranium 235 and also has spent nuclear fuel at the facility.
Ørsted A/S, together with its subsidiaries, develops, constructs, owns and operates offshore and onshore wind farms, solar farms, energy storage facilities, renewable hydrogen and green fuels facilities, and bioenergy plants. It is the world’s largest offshore wind company. The Danish government is the majority shareholder, holding 50.15% of Ørsted shares.
In August 2023, it was reported that Ørsted’s share price tumbled by nearly 25% after it said it may have to write down the value of its US portfolio by nearly £2bn triggering a rapid sell-off in its shares listed in Copenhagen.
The United Nations on Saturday said Israel had authorized the opening of 20 bakeries in the northern Gaza Strip and and a waterline to supply the area, as part of a list of the country’s “commitments” to improve the humanitarian situation in Gaza.
A statement from the UN’s humanitarian coordinator for Gaza and the West Bank, Jamie McGoldrick listed other measures announced earlier this week, including the opening of the Erez Crossing to the northern Strip for the first time since October 7 and increasing the number of trucks entering via Jordan from the Allenby Bridge crossing.

Elon Musk has warned that the Biden regime’s commitment to making Ukraine a member of NATO risks bringing the world toward a “nuclear apocalypse.”
U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said on Thursday that Ukraine be granted NATO membership and that Washington’s support for the country remains “rock solid.”
“Ukraine will become a member of NATO,” Blinken told reporters in Brussels following a meeting with Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba. “Our purpose at the summit is to help build a bridge to that membership.”
“Based on what I heard today … everyone, including the United States, is going to double back and, as necessary, double down on finding the resources that Ukraine continues to need,” he continued.
“More than 30 countries now have signed or are in the process of negotiating signing bilateral agreements with Ukraine, and we’re ourselves, the United States, working on our own bilateral agreement.”
A massive container ship reportedly lost power on the Upper New York Bay - just before the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge connecting the New York City boroughs of Staten Island and Brooklyn.
According to Captain John Konrad, CEO of gCaptain, a New York City tugboat captain informed him that the 354-meter container ship APL QINGDAO "lost power while transiting New York harbor."
"They had 3 escort tugs but 3 more were needed to bring her under control. They regained power & were brought to anchor near the verrazano bridge," the tugboat captain told Konrad.

The Biden administration announced a final rule Thursday aimed to protect federal workers and make it harder to fire them, in an effort to prevent former President Trump from gutting the workforce if he’s reelected.
The rule, issued by the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), clarifies that nonpartisan career civil servants with protected status can’t have that status taken away, and it prevents nonpartisan career civil servants from being reclassified as political appointees.
Trump in 2020 issued an executive order to allow reclassification of thousands of federal employees, which would take away their protections. When President Biden entered the White House, he revoked that executive order, which the White House said “risked altering our country’s long-standing merit-based civil service system.”

Dr. Hilary Jones has warned that Britain may soon become a breeding ground for new mutations of the coronavirus. He said this on ITV.
“We will have a factory, a real breeding ground for new variants of the virus,” the expert said.
According to him, the UK will soon face a morbidity rate of 50,000 cases of COVID-19 infections per day. This will lead to the fact that the virus will rapidly mutate.
He also said that the government is relying too much on a vaccine program when other measures are needed to fight the virus.
Dr. Jones noted, “We [Britain] would be in a great position if we were only dealing with the alpha mutation of the coronavirus, but now the delta variant, which is much more contagious, is spreading.”
On July 5, British scientists in the ZOE COVID Symptom Study revealed that symptoms of the Delta strain of coronavirus have become similar to those of a bad cold, such as a headache and runny nose. The study found that the most typical symptoms of the coronavirus are now also sore throat, sneezing, and persistent cough.
Earlier, on July 4, the UK announced the abolition of compulsory wear of masks. For his part, Prime Minister Boris Johnson said that COVID-19-related restrictions are scheduled to be lifted by the end of the month.

CHICAGO, IL—Removing more tissue during a partial mastectomy could spare thousands of patients with breast cancer a second surgery, according to a study in the New England Journal of Medicine (2015; doi:10.1056/NEJMoa1504473) and presented at the 2015 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting.
Breast cancer is diagnosed in nearly 300,000 women in the United States each year; more than half undergo breast-conserving surgery via a partial mastectomy to remove the disease. However, 20% to 40% of patients who undergo this procedure have positive margins, or cancer cells found at the edge of what was removed.
The presence of positive margins often leads to a second surgery to ensure that no cancer remains. The Yale Cancer Center study explored how removing more tissue all the way around the tumor site during the initial surgery, known as cavity shave margins (CSM), could reduce the need for a second surgery.
In this study of 235 patients with breast cancer ranging from stage 0 to stage III, surgeons performed a partial mastectomy as they normally would. Patients were then randomized in the operating room to either CSM or not.
“Despite their best efforts, surgeons could not predict where the cancer was close to the edge,” said the study’s lead author, Anees Chagpar, MD, MPH, associate professor of surgery (oncology) at Yale School of Medicine and director of The Breast Center at Smilow Cancer Hospital at Yale-New Haven.
“Taking cavity-shave margins cut the positive-margin rate in half, without compromising cosmetic outcome or increasing complication rates.”
Patients in the study will be followed for 5 years to evaluate the impact of the technique on recurrence rates.
“This randomized controlled trial has the potential to have a huge impact for breast cancer patients,” Chagpar said. “No one likes going back to the operating room, especially not the patients who face the emotional burden of another surgery.”

The purpose of this work is to describe a first approach to a smart bioimpedance spectroscopy device for its application to the estimation of body composition. The proposed device is capable of carrying out bioimpedance measurements in multiple configurable frequencies, processing the data to obtain the modulus and the bioimpedance phase in each of the frequencies, and transmitting the processed information wirelessly. Another novelty of this work is a new algorithm for the identification of Cole model parameters, which is the basis of body composition estimation through bioimpedance spectroscopy analysis. Against other proposals, the main advantages of the proposed method are its robustness against parasitic effects by employing an extended version of Cole model with phase delay and three dispersions, its simplicity and low computational load. The results obtained in a validation study with respiratory patients show the accuracy and feasibility of the proposed technology for bioimpedance measurements. The precision and validity of the algorithm was also proven in a validation study with peritoneal dialysis patients. The proposed method was the most accurate compared with other existing algorithms. Moreover, in those cases affected by parasitic effects the proposed algorithm provided better approximations to the bioimpedance values than a reference device.

Someone notify Frank Costello, because there’s rats in our midst. Pest control company, Orkin, has recently released its ranking of the most rattiest cities in the United States, ranking Houston at the number 20 spot.
To conduct their ranking of the rattiest cities in the country, Orkin analyzed the quantity of new rodent services performed between September 2022 to August 2023. From these numbers, the company was able to observe the demand as well as the resident efforts to control their rodent issues.
Topping the list once again is Chicago, “The Best Big City in the U.S.” according to Conde Nast. As for Houston, our city took the 20 spot.
While at first glance, 20 might not seem all that bad. Though it might not give you the creeps, it’s unsettling knowing that Houston jumped 10 places since last year.
“Rodents multiply swiftly and when an infestation is left unattended, they can cause extensive damage to homes and yards,” said Ben Hottel, an Orkin entomologist in the report.
“Rats are capable of squeezing into spaces through holes as small as a quarter, which makes it especially important to seal cracks from the outside.”
Though it jumped 10 places on the list, Houston wasn’t the largest increase in the list. Greensboro, North Carolina, previously unranked, slid into the top 50 spot after jumping 17 places up the list.
In its report, Orkin lists the ways that homeowners can spot a rat infestation. Common signs include: droppings, gnaw marks, nests (found in secluded dark areas), rub marks along walls, and strange noises.
As for prevention methods, homeowners are encouraged to store away food, declutter, maintain their landscaping, inspect inside and outside their home, and identify possible entry points.

When modeling in Blender, models can sometimes have too many polygons, gobbling computer memory and adding an undesirable level of complexity. In this article, we show you how to reduce polygons in Blender.
Object modifiers in Blender are properties that can be applied to an object. What makes them different from a tool or an add-on is that they change objects without permanently modifying them. That’s because a modifer acts as a feature on top of the base mesh. Then you can either delete the modifer to remove the changes or apply it to integrate the changes into the mesh.
For example, in the animation above, the modifiers tab — the one with the wrench icon — is already selected in the properties editor. With the monkey mesh selected, a modifier is added (subdivision surface, in this case) to change the object. Subdivision surface increases the poly count, smoothening the object.
Notice that the object can still be edited and viewed in the new state, though the modifier has not been applied. Indeed, the modifier is instead deleted, thus the object goes back to its original state.
Well, that’s how to increase the poly count. But how does one, in Blender, reduce polygons? Let’s take a look!
The easiest and most common way of lowering an object’s poly count is using the decimate modifier.
In this example, we’ll use a properties toolbox to the right of a 3D editor. Next, we have to add the modifier.
Now we’re ready to start changing the values. Using the decimate modifier, there are two methods in Blender to reduce polygons in a mesh: edge collapsing or un-subdividing.
Edge collapsing works by selecting edges (where each edge is a line between two vertices) and converting them into vertices. Blender does this automatically by calculating which lines it can turn into points without changing the shape of the object too much.
This method is the best if your main goal is to get rid of extra polygons on a complex object. However, it’s not the best way to keep the object’s original shape.
This is perhaps the easiest method to reduce polygons in Blender, due to its one and only control: the iteration count.
As the name implies, this is the opposite of subdividing. Put simply, un-subdividing does two things: It deletes an edge between two faces, and then it makes a new face where the previous two used to be. Because Blender simultaneously performs several other operations to keep the shape of the object, this method works best if you want to keep the initial shape as accurately as possible, but with less faces and edges.
On the other hand, this method does not effectively reduce vertices, if at all. If that’s your goal, use the previous method, preferably with the triangulate option enabled.
After you’ve used either method, and you’re content with the result, simply click Apply on the left-hand side of the modifier.
This rebuilds the mesh, using the settings you customized, and deletes the old mesh. As shown in the example, once the apply button is clicked, the modifier disappears, because the changes are integrated into the object. Of course, if you hit Apply accidentally, or if you change your mind, the “Undo” command will still work, provided you didn’t do anything in Blender after clicking Apply.
If you decide that you don’t like the results of your object before you apply the modifier, you can simply click the “X” in the top-right corner of the modifier to delete it. This removes the modifier without applying it, so your object goes back to the way it was before.
Presto! Now you have an object with less polygons to fool around with, allowing you do more with the object in a more simple way. Plus, it takes up less storage space and RAM. A win-win situation, both for you and your computer!

Last night I got to see American Ballet Theatre in Alexei Ratmansky's Nutcracker. I absolutely love this production. The choreography is thrilling, with psychological twists and an epic grand pas de deux. I'll admit it: I even cried at the end.
Wish your pointe shoes were slightly less painful? Get more sleep! A recent study found that when people stayed in bed for at least 10 hours a night, by the fourth day they experienced a 25 percent decrease in pain sensitivity. Researchers think this happens because we have more pain receptors in our blood system when we're exhausted. How's that for an excuse to sleep in?
Jirí Kylián’s classically rooted Petite Mort has become a repertory staple for many ballet companies. But tonight, Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater’s contemporary dancers will perform the ballet for the first time. “So many dancers dream of doing Petite Mort,” says Patrick Delcroix, who’s setting the work on the company. “The Ailey dancers—I think it was a dream for them, too, but they never really thought they'd get a chance.”
Picture this: You have a personal invite to David Hallberg's rehearsals and performances with American Ballet Theatre. He regularly gives you individual training and coaching advice. He takes a special interest in your career.

Vaccine Certificate approval has been gained by The European Parliament, for its citizens. The certificate program is aimed primarily at citizens of the EU and does not apply to those outside of EU member states. The processes for foreign travellers will be left to individual member states to decide.
This approval brings positive news to those in the travel industry in the EU who are hoping for a better summer than 2020. The EU Parliament hope to have things in place by June 2021, providing all negotiations with member states go well. The certificate would be in use for 12 months and would only be for travel use. Certificate holders would be exempt from arrival testing, self-isolation and quarantines upon arrival in member states different to their own.
The certificate is likely to be available both in paper form and digitally.
On Wednesday (April 28) evening, the member states of the EU voted for the vaccine certificate, with the results announced the following day. However, many MEPs had previously made significant changes to the draft law, which may cause some issues in the upcoming negotiations with the individual EU member states.
The EU Covid-19 certificate will show three things:
- Proof of vaccination
- A recent negative Covid-19 test result
- Proof that the user has recovered after contracting the virus.
Fears have been raised by some that discrimination may occur against non-vaccinated travellers. In response to this, calls have been made for “universal, accessible, timely and and free of charge testing.” This will need to be discussed with member states in order to decide who is liable for the costs of implementation.
Currently, member states have been devising their own methods of handling any form of certification. The EU Parliament has said that it will work with these member states to ensure everything works in harmony.
In theory, the certificate should make travel within the EU easier. Of course – it all depends on how the negotiations with member states goes in the meantime.
The EU is also in discussion with the Wold Health Organisation to roll it out globally. This would include the EU, although at time of press no discussions have been had between the EU and the UK.
Ursula von der Leyen, the European Commission President said on Twitter, “The European Parliament decision on adopting its position on a Digital Green Certificate is a key step towards free and safe travel this summer”.
Editor note: The word “citizen” is being solely among the respected sources – hence our use of the term also. However, we suspect this will apply to formal “residents” of EU countries – for example, British “citizens” that are “resident” in Spain. We hope so anyway!!!

A legal challenge to the Food and Drug Administration's proposed ban on ephedra is most likely on the way, according to regulatory expert Marc Ullman, a partner in the New York law firm Ullman, Shapiro & Ullman. "Companies concerned about product liability with suits in the pipeline would have a great motivation to challenge this," Ullman said. "Other companies that base their business on ephedra may make a determination to challenge this."
On Dec. 30, 2003, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Tommy Thompson and FDA Commissioner Mark McClellan, M.D., held a press conference to announce the impending final rule on dietary supplements containing ephedra. The rule, which will effectively ban the sale of ephedrine alkaloid-containing supplements, states: "Dietary supplements containing ephedra present an unreasonable risk of illness or injury." At press time, the final rule was scheduled to be published in the Federal Register by the end of January and go into effect 60 days after publication.
The FDA also issued a consumer alert and sent letters to 62 manufacturers telling them that as soon as the rule takes effect, they must stop selling ephedra products. Illinois, California and New York had already banned ephedra sales. According to the FDA's Web site, "The rule does not pertain to traditional Chinese herbal remedies. It generally doesn't apply to products like herbal teas that are regulated as conventional foods."
Major industry groups such as the Council for Responsible Nutrition and the American Herbal Products Association stated that they will most likely not object to FDA's ban as outlined at the press conference, but they'll make a final review when the rule is published.
The February 2003 death of Baltimore Orioles pitcher Steve Bechler became a lightning rod for the controversy surrounding the ephedra issue and, by extension, the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act of 1994. Thompson referred to DSHEA at the press conference as "a very controversial law" and commented that he had "already indicated that I would like to see the law changed."
Mark Blumenthal, founder and executive director of the American Botanical Council, said "The main point of the ban is that it shows that the FDA does have the power and the authority to remove what it deems to be unsafe supplements from the market."
Blumenthal and Ullman agree that the current steps on ephedra may be FDA's political ploy for major revisions to DSHEA. "If challenged, the way it's going to be played in the media and in Congress is that this is a problem with DSHEA, and we need to either fix DSHEA, amend DSHEA or repeal DSHEA," Blumenthal said.
Both men fear if a legal challenge overturns the FDA's rule on ephedra, it could further solidify opposition to DSHEA.
Industry consultant Loren Israelsen, president of LDI Group Inc., believes that FDA did not have political underhandedness in mind when banning ephedra. But he also believes that change is on the way nonetheless. "I view it as being the Siva principle at work—we are in the process of creative destruction. We will see profound change in how we are regulated one way or another. That can be a very positive change if done in an enlightened way," Israelsen says. "If we're too selfish, we risk losing it all. If we're too flabby and soft on it, we risk getting run over. This is going to be Mr. Toad's Wild Ride. Is it good or bad? You know what? It's both. And the outcome still is in our hands."

“El futuro de los drones: Robótica aérea” was a Summer University Workshop organized by Universidad Internacional de Andalucía (UNIA). It was held in Seville (Spain) from 25 to 27 of June 2018. It was dedicated to the analysis of current status and future trends of unmanned aerial vehicles. There were conferences and tables of experts in aerial robotics, including discussions on the applications of drones in different areas, which allowed the attendant to know innovative solutions in perception, navigation and inspection.
One of the sessions was dedicated to safe navigation with multiple vehicles where GAUSS had a major role.


Klinker assigned to interim study committees
INDIANAPOLIS – State Rep. Sheila Klinker (D-Lafayette) today announced she has been selected by legislative leadership to serve on five interim study committees. Interim study committees allow legislators time to research and develop legislation for the upcoming session. Each committee has been assigned various subjects that they will study throughout the months leading up to the 2021 session.
Klinker has been selected to serve on the Interim Study Committee on Education, Indiana Veterans' Affairs Commission, Interim Study Committee on Public Safety and Military Affairs, State Fair Advisory Committee, and Indiana Commission for Women. These committees will study topics related to education, the Indiana State Fair, advancing women in Indiana, and veteran issues.
“As a former teacher, I am excited to start tackling some of the issues that our Hoosier teachers, students and schools will face as we reopen our schools after this pandemic,” Klinker said. “The Study Committee on Education will give us time to do in-depth research on the unique issue our schools will face.
“Interim study committees give legislators an opportunity to dive deep into specific topics that matter most to Hoosiers.”

Porsche launches a new line of cars called the "718". This line will be all-electric, as opposed to the "911" line, which will never include electric cars. The "718" cars will still be sold in both Boxster and Cayman versions. And while the company hasn't made a statement yet, we assume the Boxster will keep its cloth top. The body design will remain visually close to the current models, but it will have a new "electric front end" with wider headlights, just like on the Taycan.
The company has not yet demonstrated the interior, but we know that it will be more futuristic than the Taycan. In creating the user interface, Porsche has taken into account the customers’ wishes: in China, the most important market, the average age of the 718 buyer is only 31 years old. Consequently, the entire multimedia system is customized for the requirements of this age group.
Most likely, one of the disadvantages will be the range. The company suggests that the range will be 400 kilometers. At the moment, Porsche is working hard to increase the range and battery performance.
The start of sales of the "718" is scheduled for 2025 in the U.S. The current models with gasoline engines will also be improved and sold in the near future. The continuation of sales is questionable due to the upcoming revision of Euro 7 emission standards.

Exploring information behaviour and meaningful experience amongst hikers on the West Highland Way
This paper discusses the information behaviour of hikers on the West Highland Way in Scotland by exploring meaningful experiences described by fifty participants walking the route.Methods. Using an ethnographic approach, participants were interviewed in the field at sites on the West Highland Way using semi-structured questions. Qualitative results are discussed and analysed using inductive thematic analysis and links to literature are established. Two types of meaningful experience were found in the interview data: connections with nature and social connections. Profound natural connections were found to feature embodied information from sensory interaction with the environment, resulting in a contemplative mindset and offering well-being benefits. Social connections with family, friends and fellow walkers were also described as meaningful, situating the activity as a ‘higher thing’ and demonstrating further well-being benefits. This initial study indicates that natural and social connections are key to meaningful experience in walking the West Highland Way. A broader information behaviour study based on this work will further explore the use of embodied information, contemplation in information science, serious leisure as a ‘higher thing’, and well-being benefits.

Product Features and Details
Prototype: Three-part diesel train train series 614/914 of the German Federal Railroad (DB), epoch IV. Version in the color orange / gray.
In 1971, the DB made two prototypes of the series 614 develop. Designed specially for the district and regional traffic DMUs - an evolution of the series 624/634 - got an upwardly slightly tapered car body, because a so-called "track-curve-dependent vehicle body control (GST)" should be installed This gave the trainset its typical shape.. but since the GST brought nothing ultimately was dropped with the supplied 1973 to 1977 40 production vehicles out - but the body shape remained.
MAN manufactured the medium-sized cars for 25 units, while the Wagon Factory Uerdingen produced the traction units equipped with a 330 kW or later 367 kW engine. The last 15 sets (from 1975) were then completely manufactured by MAN. Although the trainsets were designed as three-unit units (204 seats in the second and 2 x 12 seats in the first class), they were designed to be multi-tractionable and, occasionally, even in the initial phase, also occasionally with a 4-part centercar. On the other hand, multitraction was rather a rarity, in later years there were almost no more.
The first 25 units were allocated to Bw Nuremberg, from where the trainsets were used on all non-electrified lines of Frankens and Oberpfalz. The last 15 trains - meanwhile in the color ocean blue / ivory - were stationed in Bw Braunschweig, from where they traveled on the routes eg to Paderborn, Göttingen, Münster or Bielefeld They were also observed on the Heidebahn from Buchholz via Soltau to Hanover at the end of their working hours.
Most of the cars were later painted in Minttürkis / Lichtgrau and in the end almost exclusively in traffic red. In the course of a partial modernization, a few units received a stronger (448 kW) engine. Nearly all of DB AG's last stations in Nuremberg and Braunschweig were modernized again, for example, the luggage compartment was lost, the windows were replaced, and a window was added. Of course, these housing-specific changes have also been taken into account in the LILIPUT models!
On February 15, 2011, after a period of application of the series of exactly 40 years, the last operable unit, which had been stationed in Nuremberg since its delivery in 1973 and even had the "pop" painting (614 005/006 and 914 003) , The DB Museum in Nuremberg, which is now available for special journeys.Model: with built-in ESU digital decoder. Model with interior and interior lighting, prepared for the installation of sound decoders and speakers. Each 1 engine with flywheel is designed in every end car. Operation Nos. 614 037-0, 914 017-9 and 614 038-8, LüP 913 mm. Function switch on the floor of the vehicle, interior lighting on / off (for the whole train), driver's lighting on / off, current reduction either via both end cars or only via the end car in the direction of travel (for correct stopping in currentless sections)

We had the privilege of flying out to Hawaii to photograph Vicki and Gordon’s tropical wedding and day-after session. On a gorgeous day overlooking the beach, Vicki and Gordon marked a memorable day in their 10 year relationship, much of it was spent long distance. So happy to finally be together in one location, Vicki and Gordon’s “Better Together” theme couldn’t have been more fitting. They incorporated iconic duos like Snoopy and Woodstock, Batman and Robin, Luke and Leia, etc into their decor, and elaborated on their theme with a puzzle-guest book and extensive use of ampersands. Their day-after session couldn’t have been more fun as they walked along a secluded beach enjoying a beautiful day in paradise.
Paradise can sometimes seem unreal…
Get in there!
The evening was full of laughter…

On Thursday the Minnesota Twins claimed LHP Dusty Hughes (28) off waivers from the Kansas City Royals. To make room for Hughes on the 40-man roster the Twins designated RHP Rob Delaney (26) for assignment. Delaney was subsequently claimed off of waivers by the Tampa Bay Rays on Friday.
When the news came out that the Twins were replacing Delaney with Hughes on their 40-man roster, I immediately thought it was an upgrade. Never one to rely solely on my initial reaction however I went to the numbers and scouting reports to form a more informed opinion. Once that was in place, I took a look at what some others were saying about the move.
The first place we should start this analysis off is in Kansas City. They are, after all, the team that saw fit to designate Dusty Hughes and kick off this chain of events. A lot of casual fans will quickly conclude that Hughes couldn’t be that valuable if the Royals didn’t want him based on the astounding lack of success the team has had recently. That’s really not the case however. It’s not that the Royals didn’t want Hughes, but they did need to make room of recently signed starter Jeff Francis and Dusty was the requisite casualty of that move.
Earlier in the week when Hughes was DFA’d, Kings of Kauffman Lead Writer Michael Engel had this to say about the soon-to-be Twins lefty:
"And the unlucky player cut loose was Dusty Hughes.I find it confusing.Hughes had a 3.83 ERA in 56.1 innings in 2010 as the main left-handed reliever. He wasn’t overpowering (5.4 K/9) and not exactly precise (3.8 BB/9), but he did well enough, I thought, to stay with the team."
Dusty’s designation was a bit of a surprise to me as well. As Michael goes on to point out in his column, the move leaves the Royals with only 4 LHP on their 40-man roster. Bruce Chen and Jeff Francis are locks for the starting rotation. Young Cuban Noel Arguelles is still coming back from a shoulder injury that kept him out of action for the entire 2010 season. Noel is also a starter and several years away from the majors. That leaves Everett Teaford as the lone lefty bullpen option, but he is primarily a starter coming off a breakout season in Double-A last year. He was considered a strong candidate for the Royals rotation before the recent signings of both Francis and Chen. One has to wonder if he might not start out in Triple-A and be the first “replacement” starter called up if someone gets hurt in the major league rotation.
All of this continues to paint the picture that Dusty Hughes isn’t that valuable if a team like the Royals were willing to part from him despite having potentially zero LH reliever options to replace him on the 40-man roster. That ignores of course the fact that the Royals have the deepest and best minor league system in all of baseball. While their trio of impact bats (Moustakas, Hosmer, and Myers) get the attention alongside the waves of starting pitching prospects coming up, the relief prospects the Royals have assembled go largely unnoticed. That group is led by the diminutive power arm Tim Collins who just happens to be a lefty (and 21-years old to boot). Other southpaw relievers on the cusp of making a major league impact, and invited to camp, are Brandon Sisk (24) and Blaine Hardy (23). Starting LHP prospect Danny Duffy (22) could be another bullpen option to get his feet wet in the major leagues.
Did the Royals value Dusty Hughes? I think that answer is absolutely, but they are clearly setting up for a 2012 emergence and a run at the division in 2013 and beyond. Dusty Hughes could have helped them this year but would not be standing in the way of Collins, Sisk, Hardy, Duffy or Teaford. All of those guys have equivalent or better stuff, are quite a bit younger and fit into the Royals future plans. With a loaded system and a window that won’t open for a few seasons Hughes simply didn’t fit into the mix in Kansas City.
However, for a team like the Minnesota Twins, acquiring Hughes makes a ton of sense. They are a competitive team right now and will be picked by many baseball analysts as the favorite to once again win the AL Central. Those “experts” that don’t pick them to win the division will put them in the running with the Tigers and White Sox.
If you look at the stats, Hughes might seem underwhelming. It’s hard to get excited about a lefty reliever with a 3.8 BB/9, 5.4 SO/9 and 1.42 SO/BB. He’s far from a lefty-killer on the mound but he did hold lefties to a 0.674 OPS. Compared to the 0.775 OPS that right-handed hitters turned in off him, that is notabley given the fact that 2010 was his first extended shot in the majors. He was also reasonably effective out of the bullpen in 2009 but his overall numbers are skewed as 4.1 of his 14.0 IP that season came as a starter. It was a start that, not surprisingly, did not go well.
Dusty Hughes features a four pitch arsenal that includes a fastball, slider, curveball and changeup. He primarily features his fastball and slider (47.1 and 24.4 % respectively) but his curve and changeup are his two best pitches. According to PTLW (pitch-type linear weights) his fastball was just a tick below average at -0.01 per 100 pitches in 2010. His curve was 0.27 runs above average per 100 pitches and his changeup was 0.33 run above average on the same scale. Dusty’s slider was -1.20 runs below average per 100 pitches, which would lead one to believe he should reduce his reliance on it, but the pitch does serve a purpose as a “show-me” pitch in the right spots.
We really only have the 1 year of PTLW data on Hughes since his 2009 data was a small sample size and also includes his spot start which skews the data and doesn’t apply to his future as a reliever. Even though the data here is limited, it falls in line with the scouting reports of Hughes coming up in the minors. Many see him as a LOOGY (Lefty One-Out Guy) but with his mix of pitches I believe he has a future as a solid and reliable middle reliever. Having watched him pitch quite a bit for the Royals in 2010, I saw a valuable bullpen arm who was starting to figure things out. He had a rough month of July, during which he posted an 8.31 ERA and 1.77 WHIP, but over the final months of the season he allowed just 3 runs and 15 hits in 17.2 innings of work. He allowed 1 HR in April and another 2 in May but after that did not give up the long ball to anyone the rest of the season.
I think it is pretty clear that, right now, Dusty Hughes is a viable MLB middle reliever. In terms of ERA+ he has been above average out of the bullpen during his 1st two seasons at the major league level.
Of course, to add Dusty Hughes, the Twins had to DFA Rob Delaney…
Delaney, who is just over 2 years younger than Hughes, had very little problem cruising though the ranks of the minor leagues from A to AA, but he found the hitters in Triple-A to be a bit more of a challenge. Still, in 127.2 career AAA innings with Rochester Delaney has a 4.65 ERA and 1.28 WHIP. His 3.42 SO/BB is a result of a solid 2.7 BB/9 and very strong 9.2 SO/9. It is also worth noting that during his time in AAA he improved both his BB/9 and SO/9 from 2009 to 2010.
With a strong track record at the lower levels and solid peripherals at Triple-A it would seem that Delaney would be more valuable to the Twins than Hughes. The problem lies in their respective stuff. Unlike Hughes who features 4 pitches – 3 of which are around major league average – Delaney’s arsenal features only two pitches, a 90-92 mph fastball and a decent slider. He lacks a third pitch and without a true above average pitch in his fastball or slider, he has no way to deal with left-hander hitters effectively. As a RHP, that significantly limits his role in the major leagues even if you assume that he can get his basically average stuff to play up.
Despite the differences in age, Dusty Hughes has a much better chance to be a solid major league reliever and will almost certainly have a much longer major league career. Some of that has to do with the fact that he throws a baseball with his left-hand as opposed to his right, but it also has to do with his repertoire and quality of pitches as well.
Even if Hughes threw right-handed, I’d rather have him on my 40-man roster than Rob Delaney and as a result the Twins front office made a very shrewd decision here.
As for the Rays claiming Delaney off of waivers, I think that is mostly a case of throwing as many darts as they can at the board in hopes of getting a couple of bulls-eyes. If you don’t believe me then just look at the list of their acquisitions this offseason: Chris Archer, Jonah Bayliss, Dirk Hayhurst, Kyle Farnsworth, J.P. Howell, Joel Peralta, Cesar Ramos, Adam Russell, R.J. Swindle, Cory Wade and now … Rob Delaney.
The Royals did what they had to do to field a “passable” rotation. The Rays definitely need bullpen help and probably would have claimed Hughes – instead of Delaney – if the Minnesota had passed on him. As far as the Twins, well they’re better off today than they were earlier in the week and that is a very good thing.

Paul Fletcher and The Dukes – In The Blink Of An Eye
Tales of romance, the highs and lows, the ups and downs, this new album covers just about all of it. ‘In The Blink Of An Eye’ tells a story of love through a journey of 11 indie-pop-rock tracks. I can’t say this is a groundbreaking, genre-bending new album, but Paul Fletcher & The Dukes have certainly pushed themselves to produce a cohesive and exciting record.
Opening with the stand out single ‘Starts And Ends With You’, this starts the album with an upbeat and catchy tone that sets up the following songs nicely.
If there’s one thing that draws attention, above all else, it’s the soaring vocals provided by the Sheffield singer-songwriter that remain consistent throughout. However, what Paul has done well is to not be overly consistent in every other aspect of the music.
He has avoided the danger of making an album so cohesive that it all sounds like one long song. Although there is an indie-rock core to the record, elements of other genres are thrown into the mix to bring some dynamism and a sense of progression. A notable example is the 80s-sounding synth-pop tune ‘Devil In My Heart And Soul’. Paul manages to really show off his ability to mix up his own style.
The title track comes as the penultimate song of the set. A catchy and heartfelt indie-rock tune with a crying guitar solo, it sums up pretty well the message Paul has tried to convey. The lyrics ‘I can’t find the words to say, they never come out right anyway’ make it obvious that he has chosen to express how he is feeling through his music instead.
Sometimes, in songs like ‘Starts And Ends With You’ and ‘Bright City Lights’, the lyrics were perfectly playful and simple. However, I think other tracks fall slightly short by being convoluted and cliché. In particular, ‘Chasing The Sun’ would have benefitted so much from keeping things nice and simple.
Closing the album comes the song ‘Number 58’. A much softer track compared to the rest of the record, it eases the listener to the end of what is the first of three albums Paul has signed to write and record.
‘In The Blink Of An Eye’ creates a buzz around the name Paul Fletcher & The Dukes, with the hope for even more in the future.

The place is located on the southern foothills of the Solling at an altitude of about Rehbach . The core city of Uslar is 12 kilometers to the west, the district town of Northeim 25 kilometers to the east, Göttingen 20 kilometers to the southeast and the Lower Saxony state capital Hanover a good 73 kilometers to the north (all information as the crow flies).in the valley of the
The area around the place was already populated in the Stone Age, which is proven by some weapons finds. In 1293 Delliehausen was mentioned for the first time in a document in which Ludolf V. von Dassel donated his property in Deligehusen to the Steina monastery. An earlier mention of a place Daillanhus in the Vita Meinwerci cannot be safely assigned to today's place Delliehausen. Delliehausen part of the basic rule of the monastery Steina , but went on in 1366 to the Dukes of Braunschweig, a grand here Vorwerk built with extensive land holdings. Delliehausen was mainly a forest worker - and charcoal burner village , which a museum-operated charcoal kiln still bears witness to and what is reflected in the coat of arms .
In 1585 41 families, 3 farm workers, 21 kötner and 7 housebuilders lived in "Dellinghusen". According to the topographical survey of the Electorate of Hanover in 1764/86, the place has around 35 households. The houses were on both sides of the Rehbach. The Vorwerk was dissolved around 1800. From today's district of Haje (opened for settlement in 1810) only the forester's house was recorded. The so-called "Neustadt" was not built until a hundred years later around 1900 south of the old village on the road to Volpriehausen.
From 1885 to 1911, lignite was mined near the site in open-cast mining to a depth of around 50 meters. Today's mountain lake emerged from this open-cast mine . Since March 1, 1974, the previously independent community has been part of the then newly founded community of Uslar.
- Road: Only a side road leads to Delliehausen, which branches off in Volpriehausen from the federal road B241 , which leads from Beverungen via Hardegsen to Nörten-Hardenberg . The next motorway junctions are at Göttingen, Nörten-Hardenberg and Northeim on the A7 .
- The Solling Railway runs from Ottbergen to Northeim about two kilometers away . The next regional train stations or stops are in Volpriehausen, Uslar- Allershausen or Hardegsen on the railway line. The nearest ICE / IC train station is also in Göttingen .
- Air traffic: There is a small sports airfield near Uslar.
In Delliehausen there are over 60 guest beds in a hotel, a guest house and five holiday apartments. There is a campsite by the mountain lake above Delliehausen on the Haje.

This Special Collection is inspired by substantial changes over the past fifteen years in the way scholars have engaged with US literature and culture. In particular, the rise of two methodological paradigms, transnationalism and print culture studies, have paved the way for exciting new approaches to key questions that have always been at the heart of the discipline: the relationship between literature and nationhood, the role of writing in international circuits of knowledge and commodity exchange, and the artistic labour of the author. The aim of the collection is to reflect on the history of international markets, copyright, and the book trade as shaping forces in American literature and culture. Literary-historical articles were invited to consider the entire history of the United States from the earliest instances of print culture in the colonies, to the market revolution of the nineteenth century and contemporary digital media and new publishing or distribution formats.

ASCE to issue 2017 Report Card for Louisiana Infrastructure
BATON ROUGE - The Louisiana section of the American Society of Civil Engineers next week will release the 2017 Report Card for Louisiana Infrastructure, a
comprehensive report on vital systems designed to keep citizens safe, mobile, healthy and economically connected to the world.
The 2017 report card will be unveiled in a news
conference at 2 p.m., Wednesday, April 26 in the governor's 4th floor press room at the state capitol building.
The report is an updated version of the landmark 2012 Louisiana report that critically examined the condition, capacity, funding and future needs of Louisiana's building blocks. The 2017 version, produced by volunteer engineers across
Louisiana, will examine and assign letter grades to aviation, bridges, coastal, dams, drinking water, inland waterways, levees, ports, roads, solid waste and waste water systems in the state.
"Our jobs, as professionals, are to plan, design, build and maintain these pieces of infrastructure," said Dr. Kam Movassaghi, executive director of the project. "Our duty, as civil engineers, is to inform the public and our
political leaders of the condition of these systems and to use our expertise to advocate for the public's safety and welfare."
The 2017 Report Card for Louisiana Infrastructure is part of the national ASCE project to assign letter grades to the nation's
infrastructure. All the research, analysis and grading of Louisiana's infrastructure was performed by Louisiana civil engineers.
Dr. Movassaghi said it is not a coincidence the report card will be released while the state legislature is in session.
"This report card has specific policy and funding recommendations that we want to put in front of our state's leaders," he said.
"Much of our infrastructure is publically funded, and it is our job to let the owners of the infrastructure know what is needed."
The report card will be posted at www.infrastructurereportcard.org/louisiana after Wednesday's news conference.
The ASCE was founded in 1852 and is America's oldest national engineering society. Our mission is to provide value to our members and partners, advance civil engineering and serve the public
good. To carry out that mission, ASCE advances technology, encourages lifelong learning, promotes professionalism and the profession, develops civil engineer leaders and advocates
infrastructure and environmental stewardship. The Louisiana Section of ASCE was founded in 1914 and has more than 2,000 members in four branches: Acadiana, Baton Rouge, New Orleans

Been hoping to make it to Indonesia for many years, but was only finally able to make that happen in 2023. I’ve been warned that Jakarta is perhaps not the best introduction to Indonesia, with places like Bali being nicer and more friendly, but ofcourse I had to have a look and see for myself.
Jakarta, what a mess. I mean, I saw some interesting bits here and there, but the general feeling was more like chaos. Traffic was the nightmare it was said to be. Every taxi ride expected to take 10 minutes, could take up to an hour and a half if a monsoon hits and the roads are flooded. Things were quite basic, though it is quite the city and I found some posh shopping malls and rooftop bars, and there were some tourist attraction areas with museums and history. Mixed feelings.
So, for now, here’s a bit from my photo summary visions impressions of Jakarta, the capital of Indonesia…

SAN JOSE –– Luchi Gonzalez has a proven track record of developing younger talent, which could position him for success as the San Jose Earthquakes’ new coach.
As the academy director at FC Dallas from 2012-2018, Gonzalez worked with a plethora of future stars like midfielder Weston McKennie, now at Juventus, and defender Chris Richards, currently at Crystal Palace.
When asked at MLS media day Tuesday in San Jose about their former assistant coach, United States men’s national team players DeAndre Yedlin and Walker Zimmerman had nothing but praise for Gonzalez.
“He’s really good, especially young players,” Inter Miami’s Yedlin said. “I think San Jose is very fortunate to have him. He’s really a great, great coach and also an unbelievable guy. Hopefully has a lot of success.”
The Quakes should be a great landing spot for someone with Gonzalez’s background, as star player Cade Cowell is 19 and Niko Tsakiris, who seems to be on the same path as Cowell, is just 17. In addition, goalkeeper JT Marcinkowski, midfielder Jackson Yueill and forward Jeremy Ebobisse are all 25.
Gonzalez, who was appointed as San Jose’s coach on Aug. 17, led FC Dallas to the playoffs in each of his first two seasons. But he was dismissed in 2021 after Dallas failed to make the playoffs. Gonzalez compiled a 28-29-25 regular-season record with Dallas. He later joined USMNT coach Gregg Berhalter’s staff ahead of the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, where the U.S. advanced out of the group stage before losing in the round of 16 to Holland.
“He has significant experience with this generation of players, and combined with his background in the game both in the U.S. and abroad, he will be a welcome addition to the team,” Berhalter said of Gonzalez when he brought him onto the national team staff.
Zimmerman, 29, started his career with FC Dallas from 2013-2017, when Gonzalez was leading the club to four straight United States Soccer Developmental Academy national championships, before becoming head coach from 2018-2021.
“He’s an honest guy,” said Zimmerman, who now plays for Nashville SC. “He’s gonna wear his heart on his sleeve for the team. He’s going to be passionate.”
“He’ll do anything that he can for his players,” Zimmerman added. “As a player when you have a coach like that, who you know would do anything for you, that’s part of what makes him a good coach.”
Meanwhile, the Earthquakes held their first practice on Monday and will open up the season on the road against Atlanta United on Feb. 25.
MLS boasts Apple deal
MLS held its preseason media and marketing event at the McEnery Convention Center in San Jose on Tuesday to highlight the new decade-long partnership between Apple and MLS. The event, now in its 10th season, has typically been in New York or Los Angeles.
The partnership, which was announced in June 2022, will bring an MLS streaming service to Apple TV. Games will no longer air on local television – like NBC Sports Bay Area for the Earthquakes – but Fox will air some games nationally. About 20 Apple executives were present at the event, Courtemanche said, in addition to MLS stars line Carlos Vela, Javier “Chicharito” Hernandez and Riqui Puig.
“Partnering with Apple will help us increase the overall popularity and profile not just of MLS but of soccer in the US and Canada,” Courtemanche said. “With the (2026 men’s) World Cup on the horizon. We are partnering with arguably the most innovative company in the world. That’s going to help us reach new audiences unlike we’ve ever seen before.”
Levi’s Stadium will be one of the host venues for that World Cup, which Courtemanche said he expects to “serve as rocket fuel to grow the sport and Major League Soccer during the next four years.”
