WASHINGTON — A new phase of the Democratic-led impeachment inquiry begins Wednesday, Dec. 4, as the House Judiciary Committee - a panel prone to theatrics and partisan brawls - plans to hear from four constitutional scholars about the historical underpinnings of the process.
The focus is shifting from the House Intelligence Committee, which voted along party lines Tuesday night to approve a 300-page report that concluded that Trump had "compromised national security to advance his personal political interests" and then engaged in an "unprecedented campaign" to prevent Congress from uncovering the truth.
At the heart of Democrats' case is the allegation that Trump tried to leverage a White House meeting and military aid, sought by Ukraine in the face of Russian military aggression, to pressure President Volodymyr Zelensky to launch investigations of former vice president Joe Biden and his son Hunter, as well as an unfounded theory that Kyiv conspired with Democrats to interfere in the 2016 presidential election.
After two weeks of public hearings by the House Intelligence Committee, it will be up to the Judiciary Committee to weigh articles of impeachment against Trump.
Wednesday's hearing will be similar in format to those held by the Intelligence Committee, with lawyers for the Democrats and Republicans questioning witnesses for an extended period of time before committee members have the opportunity to ask questions in five-minute rounds.
Four law professors - three chosen by Democrats and one by Republicans - have been summoned to testify on the "constitutional grounds for presidential impeachment" before the 41-member panel.
The three witnesses chosen by Democrats: Harvard Law School professor Noah Feldman, Stanford University professor Pamela Karlan and University of North Carolina law professor Michael Gerhardt.
The one invited by Republicans is George Washington University professor Jonathan Turley. He is expected to tell the Judiciary Committee that impeaching Trump would be a historic mistake, according to written testimoy provided to the committee.
In his testimony, Turley notes that he voted against Trump in 2016 and has been critical of many of his policies. Yet, in his 53-page submission to the committee Turley argues that the Ukraine controversy does not provide a robust reason to impeach Trump.
"If the House proceeds solely on the Ukrainian allegations, this impeachment would stand out among modern impeachments as the shortest proceeding, with the thinnest evidentiary record, and the narrowest grounds ever used to impeach a president," Turley says. "That does not bode well for future presidents who are working in a country often sharply and, at times, bitterly divided."
Pam Bondi, the former Florida state attorney general hired to assist Trump with impeachment messaging, predicted Wednesday that Republicans on the Judiciary Committee would question the constitutional scholars about political bias.
"I think you're going to hear a lot of great cross-examination from Republicans talking about their bias to begin with," Bondi said during an appearance on Fox Business Network.
Bondi also explained why Trump declined to send a lawyer to the hearing.
"You know, this is a sham process from day one, and why would we participate in it?" she said.
Meanwhile, Democrats and Republicans on the Judiciary Committee took to morning television Wednesday in an attempt to shape expectations for the panel's first impeachment hearing.
Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., a staunch defender of Trump, dismissed the planned hearing as a series of "lectures from professors" who have no direct knowledge of Trump's dealings with Ukraine.
"It will be the law review coming to life," Gaetz said on the Fox Business Network during an appearance in which he also claimed the impeachment inquiry "seems to be losing steam by the hour."
Rep. Pramila Jayapal, D-Wash., predicted Republicans would seek to create chaos during the proceedings.
"I hope that Republicans don't treat this as a game, but I am afraid they might," she said during an appearance on CNN. "We are taking this extremely seriously."
As Washington focuses on impeachment, Trump continues to meet with other NATO leaders on Wednesday in London. His schedule at the gathering of the venerable military alliance affords several opportunities to weigh in on what's happening back home.
Trump has scheduled a news conference shortly after the Judiciary Committee hearing is scheduled to begin. Prior to that, he has several one-on-one meetings with world leaders, including German Chancellor Angela Merkel.

I recently had the honor of visiting the 9/11 Memorial in NYC. Construction began around 2006, after several delays. I remember hearing on the news when I first moved here that they didn’t think they could get the memorial built in time for the 10th year anniversary. Luckily they did. They’re still working on the museum, which will open next year on Sept 11.
I visited Ground Zero in 2002. I was still living in Nebraska at the time, but I was in NYC helping my friend Jeff move. By then the site had been pretty much cleaned up and it looked like a regular construction zone. There was still some evidence of the attacks. The famous iron cross was still in place. But that was about it.
The area was basically closed off for ten years. Since construction is ongoing, you have to reserve a ticket to get in and they only allow 1500 people in at a time. As you can see, the two big squares are where the twin towers once stood, which are now the reflecting pools. The original concept that designer Michael Arad had for the memorial was two square voids in the Hudson river, where water would seemingly disappear. After several revisions, the current design is amazing. There’s a feeling of life down there. The noise of water falling into the reflecting pools is meditative. It magically drowns out the city noise. A lot of care went into inscribing the names of victims not only from the twin towers, but from the Pentagon, United 93 which crashed in Shanksville, PA, and the terrorist bombing of the WTC in 1993. The names are not in alphabetical order. Instead, Arad came up with an ordering concept called “meaningful adjacency” which orders the names by relationship to the other. Coworkers who were close to each other. Firemen who served together. These were all carefully ordered based on the request of the victim’s families.
The perimeter of each reflecting pool is lined with a bronze parapet. Each parapet houses a cooling system underneath to ensure the names remain cool to the even when the sun beats down upon it. At night, the the pools light up as well as all the victim’s names that are inscribed into the parapets. The pools are immense. It’s hard to describe the beauty of this memorial. If you’re in New York, you should visit it and pay your respects. It’s breathtaking. Here’s a short video I shot of the North Tower reflecting pool:

From our cruise ship docked in Costa Maya, the ruins were a 45 minute van ride through our tour company. Our tour guide and driver were Mayan and were born and raised in the vicinity of the ruins. As the video illustrates, our guide had a superb knowledge of ancient Mayan culture, traditions, architecture and helped clear up some Mayan myths.

Tyres and tread patterns for High performance cars
Performance tyres, selection and tyre tread patterns. "If you're feeling tyred!" The importance of your cars tires should never be overlooked.

As induction kits are probably one of the most popular modifications for car tuning projects we thought we should add a introductory article to explain what they are, what they do and the theory behind them.
An induction kit is quite simply an air filter. Most cars have air filters mounted in an air box. These filters are generally constructed of paper which filters out the particles from the air and prevents these from getting into the engine. The airboxes are designed to reduce the noise of the engine and have various vanes and angles cut to maximise this noise reduction.Chip Tuning – better engine management.
The days of fiddling around in the engine bay with a spanner to make the car go faster are numbered.
Modern engine computers (ECU’s) take over many of the controls of all aspects of engine management from timing to fuelling and more.

League of Legends and Dota 2 may still be the biggest fish in the pond, but MOBA fans are now well and truly spoiled for choice. This week Battleborn from Borderlands developer Gearbox Software joined the likes of Dawngate, Battlecry, Dead Island: Epidemic, Sins of Dark Age and numerous others on the upcoming release roster.
Gearbox has actually been careful to avoid the MOBA tag. Much as Monday Night Combat shook up the tower defence formula by viewing the action from an over the shoulder perspective, Battleborn will be blazing its own path within the MOBA genre. For one, it’s a first person shooter. For another, it will feature a proper story mode in addition to its multiplayer shenanigans. Judging by the rather flashy announcement trailer, the setting will meld elements of fantasy with sci-fi and steampunk.
Publisher 2K Games is aiming to bring Battleborn to Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC before the end of its fiscal year ending 31 March 2016.

Researchers Develop New Capsule to Treat HIV
Researchers designed a capsule that can deliver a week’s worth HIV drugs in a single dose, according to a new study published in Science Daily on January 8, 2018.
Researchers at MIT and Brigham and Women’s Hospital have developed a capsule that would help patients adhere to the strict schedule of dosing required for the drug cocktails used to fight viruses. `
The new capsule allows patients to take medication just once a week, however, internally providing them with medication for the entire week. This type of delivery system could be used for people at exposed to HIV, helping them prevent the infection.
“One of the main barriers to treating and preventing HIV is adherence. The ability to make doses less frequent stands to improve adherence and make a significant impact at the patient level.” says Giovanni Traverso, a gastroenterologist and biomedical engineer at Brigham and Women’s Hospital.
“We are all very excited about how this new drug-delivery system can potentially help patients with HIV/AIDS, as well as many other diseases,” Langer says, a lead author of the study.
The drug delivery capsule developed in 2016 was used to address this problem. Their capsule consists of a star-shaped structure with six arms that can be loaded with drugs, folded inward, and encased in a smooth coating. After the capsule is swallowed, the arms unfold and gradually release their cargo. Researchers then created a similar capsule for HIV.
In their original version, the entire star shape was made from one polymer that both provides structural support and carries the drug payload. It was thus, difficult to design new capsules that would release drugs at varying rates, as any changes to the polymer composition might disrupt the capsule’s structural integrity.
To overcome this issue, researchers designed a new version in which the backbone of the star structure would still remain strong, however, each of the six arms can be filled with a different drug-loaded polymer. This made it easier to design a capsule that releases drugs at different rates.
They tested the capsule in pigs and discovered that the capsules were able to successfully lodge in the stomach and release three different HIV drugs over one week. They disintegrated into smaller components that could pass through the digestive tract.
This new capsule has the potential to cure several viral infections. Advancements in molecular diagnostics coupled with miniaturization of devices over the recent past is driving demand for several methods of treatment such as point-of-care, as per point-of-care infectious disease diagnostics market report published by Coherent Market Insights.

The rhythm of imported fishmeal in the country has slowed down markedly, the demand for aquaculture has been sluggish, and the low rainfall in the south has suppressed the pace of local aquaculture farmers entering the market. The pressure on domestic environmental protection has increased. In the first half of the year, the terminal has a tendency to be biased towards the fishmeal market as a whole.
1. The total amount of imported fishmeal in Peru increased in the first half of the year. Peruvian fishmeal dominates the domestic market.
Since June, China has purchased a large number of Peruvian fishmeal and purchased Peruvian fishmeal stocks in other countries. The pre-sales have reached 450,000 tons, supporting the confidence of local fishmeal manufacturers in Peru. At the end of June, Peru's super steam-grade fishmeal reference CNF1420/t, down 8.97% compared with the beginning of the year, but compared with domestic Peruvian fishmeal is also more resilient, mainly due to the demand for fishmeal in other countries.
2. Domestic terminal feed demand is weak, pressure fishmeal demand
Since the Meiyu period, rainfall has been frequent in southern China. Recently, heavy rains have occurred in parts of the south of the Yangtze River Basin. At present, Guangxi, Hubei, Hunan, Anhui, Jiangxi and other places have suffered from various floods. The overall situation is affected by the extent of disasters and the degree of disasters. According to statistics, the market capacity of aquatic feed is above 4 million tons. Rainfall weather affected the aquaculture feed, and the sales of aquatic feed in June fell short of expectations, which inhibited the demand for fishmeal.
3. Soybean meal prices are lower, and the increase in substitutes also suppresses the fishmeal market.
In the first half of the year, the demand for farming was sluggish, and the price of soybean meal was oscillated from a high level. To some extent, the price trend of fishmeal was also suppressed. After the ultra-low price of soybean meal, the substitution effect on fishmeal has increased significantly.
4. The increase of domestic fishmeal is limited. The quality of fishmeal has been strengthened.
The total amount of imported fishmeal in China is relatively high, and the rainfall in the aquaculture area of the southern waterworks has increased, which has become the main reason for suppressing the trend of the fishmeal market in the first half of the year.

•Lenders present repayment plans
The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has cleared the remaining eight commercial banks previously banned from trading in the interbank foreign exchange (forex) market. The lenders were accused of withholding $2.3 billion belonging to the Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation/Nigeria LNG.
The banks, the CBN announced yesterday, can now commence dealings in the forex market.
The affected lenders are First Bank of Nigeria (FBN) $469 million; Diamond Bank Plc ($287 million); Sterling Bank Plc ($269 million); Skye Bank Plc ($221 million); Fidelity Bank ($209 million); Keystone Bank ($139 million); First City Monument Bank (FCMB) $125 million and Heritage Bank ($85 million). The United Bank for Africa (UBA) earlier returned $530 million to the Treasury Single Account (TSA) and was cleared by the CBN.
Announcing the reinstatement of the banks, the CBN Director, Banking Supervision Department, Mrs. Tokunbo Martins, said the body of banks’ Chief Executive Officers (CEOs), under the auspices of the Chartered Institute of Bankers of Nigeria (CIBN), met with the Committee of Governors of the CBN and presented a payment plan for all outstanding dollar deposits from the Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation /Nigeria LNG in their possession to the Treasury Single Account (TSA).
Speaking during the briefing, the CIBN President-in-Council, Segun Ajibola stated that the Body of Bank CEOs in partnership with the CIBN decided to resolve the issue in the interest of the Nigerian economy.

Reading. Writing. Simply being.
Joseph Gangemi’s debut novel, Inamorata, sucked me in from the start. I enjoy scary movies and imagining the truth in the paranormal, so this book was a quick read. Gangemi ties the story to a true account set in the 1920s when the Scientific American offered $5,000 to a medium who could prove the existence of a paranormal entity. The main character, who is on the research committee, is easily able to disprove many mediums’ attempts until one convincing woman seems too good to be true. Gangemi’s wit is fantastic. I was laughing through much of the book and appreciated how concisely he wrote it. There are no frivolous details, which I can sometimes appreciate, but when I have so many books on my “To Read” list, I just don’t have time. I definitely recommend this book for those who enjoy mysteries, science, and historical fiction.
Soon to come.

New Study Links Brain Injuries to "Acquired Sociopathy"
This discovery brings into question how much free will there is in deciding to break the law.
How much of breaking legal or moral laws has to do with free will and how much with circumstances beyond our control has been fodder for philosophical debate for millennia. Mostly, this surrounded socioeconomic and political factors. The introduction of science ushered in whole other aspects.
Those with certain genetic mutations for instance, specifically the gene variant MAOA, are more likely to commit violent acts, research has shown. Others mutations are associated with mental illness, which may also contribute to violent outbursts. Now, the latest research out of Vanderbilt University finds that brain lesions can increase the risk of a person committing a crime. The findings were published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS).
Neuroscientists have debated whether or not there’s a link between brain injuries and violent acts, beginning with the case of Charles Whitman. In 1966 the former marine sniper took a rifle and climbed an observation tower on the campus of the University of Texas, where he shot 11 passersby below dead, until he was subdued by police (he killed 16 that day total, including his wife and mother).
After his death, an autopsy revealed he had a brain tumor—but it’s been much debated whether the tumor contributed to the incident or not. Other serial killers had suffered brain injuries, either from a fall, accident, or physical abuse, including Edmund Kemper, John Wayne Gacy Jr., Jerry Brudos, Gary Heidnik, and Ed Gein. Now, research by Ryan Darby, MD, assistant professor of Neurology at Vanderbilt University Medical Center (VUMC), is reinvigorating the argument.
It shows compelling evidence that lesions in one particular brain network can increase the risk of criminal behavior, what’s technically known as acquired sociopathy. Darby had read about famous cases, including Whitman’s, which inspired the study.
Investigators have long noticed a link between brain injury and criminal behavior. However, how influential brain injuries are to such behavior has been a matter of much debate. Credit: Getty Images.
This is the first brain-mapping study linking lesions to a higher propensity of criminal acts. A lesion is abnormal brain tissue which can occur as a result of trauma, a tumor, or a stroke. What this study found is that lesions occurring not in one specific area of the brain, but in a number of different places, can contribute to the likelihood of the person committing a crime.
Darby and colleagues conducted MRI and CT scans of convicted criminals. These were murderers, rapists, thieves, con artists, and others. The first group consisted of 17 individuals, and linked criminal behavior with brain lesions. But the second, with 23 volunteers, showed lesions in different areas of the brain. Researchers compared these brain scans to enormous neuroimaging datasets of healthy, law-abiding people. They compared each group’s connectomes, or the neural networks connecting brain regions.
Darby and colleagues discovered that although lesions inhabited different brain areas, they resided within the same neural networks in those who took part in criminal activity. Volunteers with a criminal past had lesions in the moral decision-making network, which means an injury here increases the likelihood of criminal behavior.
This network is involved with morality, value-based decision-making, “theory of mind,” and criminality. Theory of mind is being able to understand someone else’s point of view. There was no lacking in the areas where empathy is created however, which is consistent with this Harvard study, which found that psychopaths and sociopaths do have empathy and can feel regret—just a little differently than most people do.

According to Darby:
We looked at networks involved in morality as well as different psychological processes that researchers have thought might be involved — empathy, cognitive control and other processes that are important for decision making. We saw that it was really morality and value-based decision making — reward and punishment decision making — that the lesions were strongly connected to.
The approach is relatively new and was used in the past to study why patients with certain psychological disorders suffered from delusions or hallucinations. In those studies, neuroscientists hunted down the brain networks the lesions resided in, causing these symptoms. But this is the first time it’s been used to try and understand criminal behavior from a neurological standpoint. Darby and colleagues caution that the fatalists haven’t won the debate on criminality, at least not from this study's results alone.
The researchers attribute only 9% of violence or crime to traumatic brain injury. While 14% is associated with frontal lobe injury. In fact, one 2014 study found that only 20% of the 249 mass murder cases that year could be attributed to a head injury.
There are other factors experts say that influence people to behave in a dangerous or immoral way. Likely, a number of genetic, biological, social, and psychological factors work in concert for such antisocial behavior to occur.

Frequent shopping for single items adds to our carbon footprint.
- A new study shows e-commerce sites like Amazon leave larger greenhouse gas footprints than retail stores.
- Ordering online from retail stores has an even smaller footprint than going to the store yourself.
- Greening efforts by major e-commerce sites won't curb wasteful consumer habits. Consolidating online orders can make a difference.

A large part of the reason is speed. In a competitive market, pure players use the equation, speed + convenience, to drive adoption. This is especially relevant to the "last mile" GHG footprint: the distance between the distribution center and the consumer.

Interestingly, the smallest GHG footprint occurs when you order directly from a physical store—even smaller than going there yourself. Pure players, such as Amazon, are the greatest offenders. Variables like geographic location matter; the team looked at shopping in the UK, the US, China, and the Netherlands.

Sadegh Shahmohammadi, a PhD student at the Netherlands' Radboud University and corresponding author of the paper, says the above "pattern holds true in countries where people mostly drive. It really depends on the country and consumer behavior there."

The researchers write that this year-and-a-half long study pushes back on previous research that claims online shopping to be better in terms of GHG footprints.

"They have, however, compared the GHG emissions per shopping event and did not consider the link between the retail channels and the basket size, which leads to a different conclusion than that of the current study."

Online retail is where convenience trumps environment: people tend to order one item at a time when shopping on pure player sites, whereas they stock up on multiple items when visiting a store. Consumers will sometimes order a number of separate items over the course of a week rather than making one trip to purchase everything they need.

While greening efforts by online retailers are important, until a shift in consumer attitude changes, the current carbon footprint will be a hard obstacle to overcome. Amazon is trying to have it both ways—carbon-free and convenience addicted—and the math isn't adding up. If you need to order things, do it online, but try to consolidate your purchases as much as possible.

I'm gutted but I'm also a complete tit.
My Classic Army Aug A1 came today which I bought from a member on this forum,
I was stood in my back garden with the gun, barrel facing down, there's a button on the stock and I wasn't sure what it did, so I pushed it and the whole front end of the gun fell out the stock and smashed on the floor! Lol
The only damage was the flash hider falling off, but it snapped off from the barrel, and I can't seem to find an outer barrel anywhere for sale, they still make the CA Aug so I'm assuming parts are available.
The damage isn't massive it's just really frustrating and proving a mare to fix.

Novak Djokovic outclassed Kevin Anderson to lift his fourth Wimbledon crown and 13th Grand Slam title on Sunday.
Kevin Anderson failed to find a way around Djokovic’s impenetrable wall as the 31-year-old did well to repel the South African’s fusillade. And for the first time in the tournament, Anderson’s most potent weapon – his serve – was completely neutralized.
Djokovic won the first two sets easily and was only really troubled in the third which went to a tie-break, but the super Serb got the better of his opponent in the tie-break as he claimed a 6-2, 6-2, 7-6(3) victory to cap off an incredible fortnight in London.
“I would just like to congratulate Kevin,” Djokovic said during the award ceremony. “He has had quite a few hours in quarter-finals and semi-finals. In his first Wimbledon final he didn’t play well in the first two sets, but he was a better player in the third set and I was happy to come through.
“I owe a great thanks to my team. The last couple of years haven’t been easy. I had surgery and was absent from the tour for six months. This was my first grand slam final after a couple of years. There was no better place to make my comeback.”
— Wimbledon (@Wimbledon) July 15, 2018
The last six men’s singles Grand Slam titles were won by Federer and Roger Nadal but now Djokovic is back after two years since completing his career Grand Slam at the 2016 French Open.
For Anderson, this is now a second Grand Slam final lost – he lost the 2017 US Open final to Nadal. The South African will however, break into the top 5 for this first time in his career when the updated rankings are released on Monday.
