TBJ: In my opinion, the reason why there is a lull in the IQD Intel News, is because there is a pending formation of the government that is about to take place during the next week or two from the appearance of things from this date's Vantage Point.
I know the CBI is independent and can change that rate independently of the GOI, but there seems to be a willful coordination between the GOI and the CBI, and they are waiting for the formalities to conclude.
In this case, those 'formalities' have different courses that can be taken- the political parties can either just agree on their candidates and proceed, or there can be a dissolution of the Parliament.
I doubt there will be any new significant news until we see a conclusive course in the days ahead, and the international PRESSURE in addition to the demands of the Iraqi citizens for a better life is all on them to get it done!
There is a lull because the observers are sitting on the edge of their seats (me included) with baited breath, because it sure does look like we are about to see what we have been waiting for at last.
Tivon: "Prime Minister Mustafa Al-Kazemi directed all ministries to mobilize their efforts to implement the provisions of the Food Security Law". End quote.
The Blitz Play, is forming on the 80 yard line. They left the huddle with a defensive end on both sides.
The Contracts & Procedures. How will they execute the play? Dissolution or send the line backer up the middle which would be the PM and cause a turnover.
Well we now know where are don't we? Nullifying contracts and adjusting wages in light of inflation? I wonder what purpose this would serve if French company Total' signed off on an increase from 85 thousands barrels per day to 210,000 thousand that would cause a reconsideration as to how business is calculated and conducted?
Maybe this new deal wouldn't work under the current program rate if they plan on benefiting from that 40% annual revenue that Iraq will be exporting.
I mean didn't they say this agreement would cause transparency & competition in the oil sector with the four projects one of them being the Artawi oil field.
Well having a international currency competing against the likes of the Euro that is now 1:1 with the USD while supply & demand grows for the new IQD that is now back by hard currency reserves along with oil that other countries will see as a stable sovereign country with open books on the accounts in ministries will create the transparency that Total is looking for correct?
I am just pondering a point here. Because all of this can only come by way of continuing the present term of Al-Kahdimi by putting full force behind the EFSL.
Can all of this be done prior to August ?st? Well enacting emergency powers to address critical issues that affect the citizens way of life who can barely afford rent, clothes, and food.
I would presume the PM does not want to drag these problems into another month of inaction on his cabinet when he requested of them to address the USD price at the earliest session.
Well isn't that coming up on the 20th? Because this is the only way he can even begin to alleviate the economic hardships by bringing attention to the elephant in the room which is the exchange rate.
The PM is on the move as he knows time is running short. We have about a week and some change left in this month.
He appears to be taking this opportunity to ensure there are no more delays. Action oriented plans are being implemented. And we are about to see something powerful take place in the days leading up to the 1st. IMO
Samson: Al-Kazemi’s advisor clarifies a news published by the official media about the exchange rate change
18th July, 2022
The advisor to the Iraqi Prime Minister, Mustafa Al-Kazemi, issued today, Monday, a clarification regarding a news published by the official newspaper about the change in the exchange rate of the dollar against the dinar.
Haitham al-Jubouri, in a clarification received by Shafak News Agency, said that Al-Sabah newspaper published the title of an interview it conducted with us in which we talked about an economic vision that would increase non-oil revenues and attract diversified investments, which would inevitably give strength to the Iraqi dinar, given that the price of the dinar depends on the offer. demand and sustainable economic development.
He added, "I was surprised that the headline of the news differs from this content mentioned by the same person who interviewed us in the body of the news, reasoning that the headline should be attractive."
Al-Jubouri, who was the head of the Finance Committee in the previous parliamentary session, explained that "what was published about the government's intention to restore the exchange rate is contrary to the truth of what we have stated. Rather, the government is engaged in fundamental reforms in the financial and economic affairs that would create the desired development." LINK
Samson: The government is discussing the dollar exchange rate and plans to convert 4 ministries to self-financing
18th July, 2022
The Prime Minister's Adviser for Economic Affairs, Haitham al-Jubouri, presented an economic vision that is summed up in converting four ministries to a self-financing system, restoring the dollar exchange rate and unifying employee salaries
Al-Jubouri said, according to the official Al-Sabah newspaper, that “there is an economic vision for the next phase, some of which have been written. From central to self-financing, and it can benefit from the revenues generated by it, through the large and discreet companies it owns or the revenues achieved through its work,” noting “the possibility of benefiting from the amounts allocated to it from the state treasury in establishing productive development projects
He added, "There is a vision in the exchange rate of the dollar, and restoring confidence and strength to the Iraqi dinar, provided that it is not a decision, as happened in the decision to raise the exchange rate, but with real economic reforms and an increase in non-oil revenues with a plan extending from one to four years, and increasing the volume of investments in the country by persuading Iraqi investors who invest their money abroad to return to Iraq through facilities provided to them and encouraging them to invest their money inside the country
Al-Jubouri indicated that “among the vision is the automation of government procedures, electronic connectivity, the amendment of instructions for implementing government contracts, and the issue of tax exemptions, with a focus on increasing the tax base through profitable companies or personalities,” expressing “regret that there is a focus on the simple citizen in the tax issue.” While most companies evade the final accounts because they are fake
And the Prime Minister's Adviser for Economic Affairs indicated, "the possibility of increasing customs revenues, which can achieve huge sums in the event that there is governance of the border crossings
He explained, “The necessity of activating the collection of electric energy that is prepared for citizens, shops and commercial institutions, as the ministry collects only 7 percent of the money. Without increasing the total amount for it, which will be among the interests of the next government, as it is not
possible for an employee in a ministry to take 5 times as much as another employee with the same title, degree and certificate
He stressed, "Part of these ideas can be started through effective laws such as the Financial Management Law and the Electronic Signature Law, which needs speed in the procedures of its legislation. He pointed out, "Some find it strange to implement some of this plan, but all of them are feasible and there is an integrated vision on this subject, if we know that it can be applied in short, medium and long stages LINK
Tivon: We were just talking about this. They will by default increase oil revenues once they return the price of the USD. Especially the French oil deal with "Total, who had signed off on a 40% cut of that revenue with the four projects in development.
1:1 will definitely move numbers for everyone involved in Iraq's private sector. We are entering the final phase. You can tell they have been sitting on this information and couldn't wait to share.
Taxes & Customs will definitely see a boost now that they reduce corruption in that sector down to zero. Because now everyone will be supplied a number instead of a name. That way no one's identity can be used to siphon money from citizens dead or alive .
He states some of the reforms have already been written and is ready to be applied. I think one of them has to do with the Oil & Gas Law. Simply by the fact that it supposed to be one of the agendas for the upcoming session next week that is on the table for a vote. Or in this case enactment.
Look they even brought up E-Government. This will reduce bureaucratic red tape and allow electronic use of procedures that doesn’t involve any paperwork. And again this will reduce corruption.
In the 1970s, Iraq was the least corrupt Arab state until Saddam’s wars of aggression against first Iran and then Kuwait brought not only military defeat, but also suffocating sanctions. The economic distortion, black market economy, and the United Nation’s own corruption made matters worse.
After the United States invaded in 2003, it made matters worse by pouring money into an economy that did not have the institutional capacity to handle it.
Now things have changed dramatically. Iraq has a new strategy to tackle all sectors and outright stop corruption. General Customs Authority is another section of Iraq that has addressed and reduced corruption.
We are in the home stretch Ladies & Gentlemen. This last week of this month will yield so much for us and Iraq. I can not wait to see what happens next. IMO
Samson: Food Security Law Comes Into Force
18th July, 2022
The official “Al-Sabah” newspaper reported, on Monday, that despite the huge uproar that had been raised for a long time around him and the political debates and bickering for months, the entry into force of the “Emergency Support for Food Security and Development” law passed in silence and calmness.
A member of the Parliamentary Finance Committee, Jamal Cougar, said in a statement reported by the newspaper and seen by (the information), that “the ruling on the non-implementation of the law and not actually bringing it into force, is incorrect,” explaining that “any law is legislated, especially if there is a financial aspect, Its effect will become clear when it is fully implemented.”
Cougar added, “The law has two timings; Part of it is being implemented by the current government, and the other part is being implemented by the next government, and seven trillion and 250 billion dinars have been allocated for its implementation.”
He explained, "The first part that the current government will spend its money on will be a part of it for the development of the regions, and they need projects to be submitted by the governorates, and part of those funds are dedicated to stabilizing contracts who need to audit their transactions, and a part is dedicated to appointing 15,000 new graduates, and this needs to scrutinize and study the needs of ministries and specializations, and therefore everything that was mentioned needs work, effort and time.”
Cougar stressed that “judging this law or others to failure before it is applied is inaccurate and unfair, and the expected steps that the citizen will see will be when applying this law, so it is premature to judge it.” LINK

Norfolk Southern CEO to Testify as Officials Hold Railroad Accountable
EAST PALESTINE, Ohio – Holding Norfolk Southern’s feet to the fire is a phrase shared and expressed by officeholders and environmental regulators since the Feb. 3 train derailment.
Norfolk Southern President and CEO Alan Shaw is scheduled to testify today before the U.S. Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works.
Shaw will follow remarks by U.S. Sens. Sherrod Brown, D-Ohio, J.D. Vance, R-Ohio, and Bob Casey, D-Pa.
“My goal [Thursday] is to hold him accountable in front of, essentially, the American people in front of a publicly attended, publicly televised hearing in the United States Senate and [for] him to make these commitments that he has been making so far, but make them again, when I say that [Norfolk Southern is] paying for the water testing and the soil removal and the health issues that might come a year or two from now,” Brown said Wednesday.
He added that those commitments should include paying for tests, hotel stays and whatever it takes.
With Norfolk still removing soil below the first of two tracks that the U.S. EPA has ordered pulled up and remediated, the work has created additional chemical odors, noise and dust around the site. Although the air around the cleanup continues to be monitored with the only elevated levels near the worksite, the project has led to more commitments by the railroad. Norfolk Southern has agreed to provide additional financial assistance to those in the 1-mile radius of the site who feel unsafe staying there during the track removal and cleanup.
That assistance includes those in portions of Pennsylvania who may need temporary lodging, travel, food, clothing and other necessities.
The EPA has committed to holding Norfolk to completing the cleanup plan. Residents are getting another opportunity to speak to EPA representatives at a resource fair planned in the high school tonight from 6 to 9 p.m. Residents can ask face-to-face questions and learn more about the scientific equipment being used to monitor the air quality in East Palestine.
Meanwhile, the Ohio Senate Select Committee on Rail Safety has held two hearings on the derailment, including one Wednesday.
State Reps. Monica Robb Blasdel, R-Columbiana, and Lauren McNally, D-Youngstown, provided testimony before the Government Oversight Committee on House Resolution 33, which is a push for the U.S. Congress to pass legislation requiring railroads to inform state and local governments when hazardous materials pass through their jurisdictions.
After the Feb. 3 derailment, agencies did not know until hours later all the chemicals contained in the 38 derailed railcars and 12 additional cars that were affected.
Looking toward the next time a railroad accident subjects first responders and residents to hazardous chemicals, Gov. Mike DeWine announced Wednesday that Norfolk has committed to create a regional training center in Ohio for first responders.
“The derailment in East Palestine made clear that ensuring first responders are prepared for disasters involving hazardous materials is vitally important to the safety of communities,” DeWine said. “Often, first responders are volunteers, and their need to have the most up-to-date training and equipment is vitally important. Today’s commitment by Norfolk Southern is an important next step in the company’s commitment to make the citizens of Ohio and of East Palestine whole after the recent derailments, a commitment Ohio will continue to monitor closely.”
The commitment includes not only training classes at the Moorman Yard in Bellevue on March 22, but also a traveling program called Operation Awareness and Response. The program will give communities a chance for hands-on training with a locomotive, box cars and tank cars, as well as training with the AskRail mobile app for first responders to obtain information about rail shipments.
DeWine’s office also reported Wednesday that a new public dashboard has been launched by the Ohio EPA, which shows the levels of several of the chemicals of concern at 20 surface water sampling locations along Sulphur Run, Leslie Run, Little Beaver Creek, North Fork Little Beaver Creek and the Ohio River. While the levels of chemicals are currently in decline, the information states that residents should continue to avoid contact with the contaminated water.
With more than 320 completing the After Chemical Exposure survey, the East Palestine Health Assessment continues to show 231 people have reported headaches, followed by 184 with anxiety, 168 with coughing, 156 with fatigue or tiredness and 149 with irritation, pain or burning of skin.
During his testimony to the Ohio Committee on Rail Safety, Dr. Bruce Vanderhoff, director of the Ohio Department of Health, called the survey the best way to gain information about immediate effects in the weeks following the derailment, but also a way to start looking at health concerns long-term.
“We want to understand what we don’t know and many of the long-term questions. We don’t have a [crystal] ball,” Vanderhoff said. He noted that the effects of these chemicals can vary by length of time of exposure, level of the chemicals and the health of the affected person. Vanderhoff indicated his department will continue to study the effects on people and work with experts.
Vanderhoff said more than 170 private water wells have been monitored and about 40 of the 71 have shown trace numbers, but it is not believed that those are connected to the derailment. However, he believes the water in the area will require long-term monitoring.
As the region around East Palestine heads into spring, there continues to be some concerns from farmers, who have animals grazing in fields and will be harvesting winter crops and soon planting spring crops.
DeWine said a roundtable discussion for farmers will take place at 2 p.m. today at the Emmanuel Lutheran Church Education Building in Salem. The meeting will include the Columbiana County Soil and Water Conservation District; the Ohio Farm Bureau; the Ohio State University Extension; the OSU College of Food, Agricultural, and Environmental Sciences; Ohio EPA; U.S. EPA; U.S Department of Agriculture Farm Service Agency; USDA Rural Development; USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service and others.
Brown met Wednesday with the Ohio Farm Bureau Federation’s Legislative Conference breakfast in Washington, D.C., to talk about the priorities for the 2023 farm bill. However, Brown also spoke about the concerns of residents in the East Palestine area, including farmers.
“My concerns are that Norfolk Southern needs to stand up and make commitments,” Brown said. He told how a woman with beef cattle about four miles from where the incident happened has a regular customer questioning whether they will be buying from her this year.
Brown said he is working with the USDA and the U.S. EPA to find resources to help pay for soil tests and possibly work with an organization such as the Food Animal and Residue Network, which has expertise in toxin impacts on animal agriculture.
Brown said a farmer just west of the Salem area has expressed concerns even though he thinks he may be far enough away.
“Norfolk Southern’s got a lot to do to satisfy the farmers, the crop farmers about the soil, the air, the beef cattle and the dairy farmers,” Brown said.
Brown also met with Vance on Wednesday. The senators have heard the same concerns from East Palestine residents and so it made sense they were able to come together on a bipartisan bill, the Railway Safety Act of 2023.
Others testifying today before the U.S. Senate committee include officials on the ground around the derailment site: Debra Shore, the regional administrator from the U.S. EPA; Anne Vogel, director of the Ohio EPA; Richard Harrison, executive director and chief engineer of the Ohio River Valley Water Sanitation Commission; and Eric Brewer, director and chief hazardous materials response, Beaver County Department of Emergency Services.

Kerr looking for double at Oakmont
Cristie Kerr is relishing the tough test Oakmont Country Club will present at this week’s 65th US Women’s Open.
World number one Cristie Kerr is relishing the tough test Oakmont Country Club will present when she bids for back-to-back major victories at this week’s 65th US Women’s Open Championship in Pennsylvania.
Kerr, with five US Open top-10 finishes including victory in 2007, jumped to the top of the world rankings last month when she romped to a 12-stroke LPGA Championship win at Locust Hill Country Club, near Rochester, New York.
It was the 31-year-old American’s second LPGA Tour victory of the year and her fifth top-10 finish and helped her replace Japan’s Ai Miyazato at the head of the Rolex Rankings.
Now number two, Miyazato will lead a strong challenge in a field that features all of the top 20 players in the world and 28 of the top 30, including Australia’s Karrie Webb (nine), and the United States’ Michelle Wie (10) and Paula Creamer (13).
Last year’s champion, Eun-Hee Ji from Korea, is also competing as the US Women’s Open returns to the famous Oakmont course for the first time since the 1992 championship, won by Patty Sheehan.
“Oakmont is pretty cool, probably the coolest golf course I’ve been on,” Kerr said, before warning of the challenges it presents.
“It’s certainly one of the most penalising if you miss the fairways. The fairways are definitely hittable, but you can see why the scores have been what they have for champions to win here over the years.”
The last major championship staged at Oakmont was the men’s US Open in 2007, when Angel Cabrera of Argentina won at five over par, and Kerr predicted a similar winning score for the women in 2010 when she played the course back in May.
“I think it will play about as difficult as I said,” Kerr said last night. “I said that winning score of anywhere from four to however many over, you never know.
“It could be lower. Somebody could have a great performance but I knew the course was going to play like this going into it.
“I can only remember playing Newport Country Club (in Rhode Island, 2006) where the course was soft, and that’s only because they had 30 inches of rain in five days.
“Otherwise, US Open courses tend to play this way. That’s the way the USGA wants them to play.
“When I said the winning score, I was envisaging these conditions.”
Former LPGA Tour star and two-time major winner Dottie Pepper believes Kerr has the game to match those tough conditions.
“The last time the Open was here, there was a lot of rain,” said Pepper, who will commentate on the championship for NBC Sports.
“I expect a much faster track this time. It’s set up fair, more fair than last time. The greens are holding good shots. The bunkers may end up telling the story. They are severe.
“Cristie’s worked very hard to get to where she is. She’s built for Opens. She drives it long enough and she’s a grinder. That’s what it takes to win majors. Plus, she’s a ‘feel’ putter and that’s a big asset here.”
Johnny Miller, Pepper’s NBC colleague, won the men’s US Open at Oakmont in 1973 after shooting a final-round 63 and he too believes the course fits Kerr’s style.
“The big thing about Oakmont is that you have to hit it well but you also need to be a delicate, almost natural putter,” Miller said.
“Cristie is a fantastic putter with a gorgeous stroke. Oakmont should suit her well.”

Michigan secretary of state Jocelyn Benson stated dozens of armed protesters gathered in a threatening method outdoors her residence on Saturday night chanting “bogus” claims about electoral fraud.
Michigan officers final month licensed the state’s election outcomes exhibiting President-elect Joe Biden had received Michigan, one in all a handful of key battleground states, in the middle of his 3 November election victory.
President Donald Trump has repeatedly claimed, opposite to proof, that the end result was marred by widespread fraud in a number of states. State and federal officers have repeatedly said that there isn’t any proof of fraud on any vital scale, and Biden is to sworn into workplace on 20 January.
The people gathered outdoors my residence focused me as Michigan’s Chief Election officer. However their threats had been really aimed on the 5.5million Michigan residents who voted on this fall’s election, looking for to overturn their will. They won’t achieve doing so. My assertion: pic.twitter.com/RSUnPSN4Aa
— Jocelyn Benson (@JocelynBenson) December 7, 2020
The protesters who rallied outdoors Benson’s residence held up placards saying “Cease the Steal” and chanted the identical message, in accordance to numerous clips uploaded on social media.
In a Twitter assertion on Sunday, Benson stated the protesters had been making an attempt to unfold false details about the safety and accuracy of the US election system. “The calls for made outdoors my residence had been unambiguous, loud and threatening.”
Michigan lawyer basic Dana Nessel, in a separate Twitter publish, accused the pro-Trump demonstrators of “mob-like habits (that) is an affront to primary morality and decency”.
“Anybody can air reputable grievances to Secretary Benson’s workplace via civil and democratic means, however terrorizing kids and households in their very own properties is just not activism.”
Benson added: “They focused me in my position as Michigan’s chief election officer. However the threats of these gathered weren’t really geared toward me – or every other elected officers on this state. They had been aimed on the voters.”
Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer, who has clashed publicly with Trump over state coronavirus restrictions, was the goal of a kidnapping plot by a far-right militia group in the course of the election marketing campaign, prosecutors stated in October.
Michigan, one in all a handful of key swing state within the 2020 presidential race, was a goal of agitation by Trump and right-wing supporters towards stay-at-home orders Whitmer imposed earlier this yr to curb coronavirus transmissions.

Maruti Kizashi is still in the concept stage in India. Maruti Suzuki Kizashi was first unveiled at the Frankfurt Motor Show in 2007 and later at the 9th Auto Expo in New Delhi in 2008. Maruti Kizashi will be priced at Rs. 10 lakh and therefore will be a premium car with luxury features.
Maruti Kizashi comes with an outstanding aero-dynamic design with front view featuring a completely stylish look. There is a new innovative tapering headlights and classic front design that is unseen so far in Maruti small car models in India. This new upcoming model can rightfully be attributed as a cross-over sports sedan.
Maruti has very recently launched yet another small car model, Maruti Ritz, in India but it is yet to make its impact in the Indian market. Maruti Suzuki India Limited; India's largest car manufacturer that sells nearly every second car in India is contemplating an expansion of its product portfolio; especially in the sedan segment. As of now, Maruti Swift and Swift DZire attribute to a majority of its sales.
Maruti Suzuki India (MSI) Managing Director and CEO Shinzo Nakanishi said "My concern is about the quality of our growth. Although we achieved good overall national numbers, the region-wise and model-wise performance was not uniform. We relied mostly on Dzire and Swift to power our growth."

It is true to say that a career in law is well-liked, well-paid, and challenging. Excellent leaders, imaginative thinkers and people who are enthusiastic about a range of social concerns are also produced by the legal profession.
We, at Edugraph, talked to an undergraduate law student to share her experience in law school, how she prepared for the law entrance exam and much more.
Sampurna Mukherjee is a fifth-year undergraduate student of law [B.A.; L.L.B(Hons.)] at Symbiosis Law School, Pune, India. Her areas of interest in law include Arbitration – ADR, International Relations, Comparative Constitutional Law, History, Jurisprudence and Literature.
1. Did you always know you wanted to study law? Why did you choose law?
Simply put, Law chose me and not vice-versa and in many ways, it was meant to be. I decided to take up legal studies in my plus two at Mahadevi Birla World Academy [MBWA], Kolkata because of my father’s desire and also fate set matters into motion. After clearing my Class XII Examination the question of choosing between English and Law came to the fore. After scoring only a 90/100 in English in comparison to a much surprising score of 97/100 in legal studies, it was decided that the latter with its wide avenues and tremendous opportunities was the place and career to be in, for me, and today I am very thankful for the decision that I took almost 5 years back.
Not only do I get to explore the highly technical and logical field and the world of law - but the very fact that I can unwind after a long day of work with a few pages of reading of different genres that keep changing from time to time is more than what I had imagined and hoped for my life to be.
2. How did you prepare for CLAT? What was the difficulty level?
I sat for CLAT for the first time in May 2017 - a mere two weeks after my Class XII board exams, just for the initial feel of the experience. I had only preliminarily read up on different sections of the paper, such as Legal Reasoning, English and GK. I scored a 60+ on a paper of 200 marks in total, which to my mind felt decent, considering there was no coaching involved.
It was decided then, after taking everything into account, that I would utilise 2017 as a gap year and prepare to take CLAT 2.0 in 2018 and enrol in a coaching centre since my 60+ score was not good enough to get me into any top-ranking NLUs. It is also crucial to point out that I had not sat for any other legal entrance exams up till this point, which is not something that I would not recommend to any legal aspirants out there. I simultaneously took admission to a BA English course as a safety net so as not to waste one year entirely if I were unable to crack CLAT or the other law entrance exams.
It was an extremely rigorous but rewarding experience and I learned a lot. However, I decided to drop out of my BA programme to devote my time fully to my legal prep. I practised hundreds and thousands of mock papers that were supplied by the coaching institute and got all my doubts resolved which proved to be a game-changer for me. In a nutshell, it was a long journey of continuous effort, improvement, self-awareness, reflection and progress.
CLAT did feel difficult on a personal and professional level, but if I could go back in time and repeat it all, I would. For the discipline, the inherent sense of self-worth and the knowledge that I had gathered from the experience of it. For someone who is looking to crack the CLAT exams, the terrain of difficulty can be navigated on an individual basis with an analysis of the strengths and weaknesses of the person involved. Thereafter, the student needs to work on them over a length of time so that it does not seem "difficult" by the end of it. Ultimately, this is what worked for me.
3. What made you choose Symbiosis over any other college for law?
I scored 110+ in my second attempt i.e. in CLAT 2018, which gave me a rank of close to 1000 among 60,000+ candidates. Along with everything else, initially, that got me into NLU Assam. To increase my options I also sat for Symbiosis's SET examination, though only for the Pune branch. When I qualified for the Personal Interview - Writing Test [PI-WAT] round after scoring the cut-off mark, it was a no-brainer to opt for Symbiosis over any NLUs that were being offered to me.
Symbiosis Law School, Pune at the time was over 40 years old with a good Alumni base working in different sectors, a recurrent institution in the NIRF list published by the Government of India every year and a great city to live in.
4. How was your 1st year at the college?
My first year in college was memorable, to say the least. I made friends from all over the country. It was a cultural shock as well as a delight. I studied hard and lived a fast-paced life, but with intention, purpose and excitement at the same time - even for the most mundane activities that one could think of. I loved and still love going to college and spending time at the reading hall and Gyan gallery, having fun at the canteen and exploring the vibrant and beautiful city of Pune in my spare time.
5. Did anything surprise you when you became a law student?
It is a myth that if you are good in English or Public speaking, you would automatically be a good lawyer. Nothing could be further from the truth. While it came as a surprise, this was one of the first things that we were taught. We were trained to "unlearn, learn and relearn". Having these skills in your repertoire does help, but they can be built over time.
6. What is it like inside a law class? How is a law school different from any other?
A law class, as opposed to a non-law class, is not very different per se i.e. because the provisions form an extended part of a normal textbook, like those found in any classroom. The difference lies in the case laws, which are like case studies and more practical in nature.
The teaching style, however, differs from class to class. For instance, from personal experience, I can say that my torts class was about discussion-debate-theory-practice while my International Affairs - Political Science course was all about practical insights synthesised with regular learning, which could be done without any textbook's intervention.
Law School is more professional I must say because it tries to develop your character and outlook over the course duration. I do not see that kind of professional and profession-oriented emphasis in regular BA courses, except in other allied courses, such as Medicine.
7. What area of law interests you the most?
Dispute Resolution or Disputes interests me the most, followed by Constitutional Law, International Treaty Law, Trademark Law and Jurisprudence.
8. What’s your favourite part of studying law?
My favourite part about studying law is how relevant it is - to you, me and every other person who is alive and breathing. Law is a code that is followed and imposed by the State and its organs to maintain order and ensure a civilised state of being. Whether it is following the traffic signal, or approaching the Court to resolve disputes - law is present in every sphere of our lives, and it is beneficial to study and be aware of it at all times to defend yourself against anybody who threatens it.

9. How was your first moot court experience? How do you think moot court helps law students prepare for their future?
My mooting journey has been a limited one, with my first and last moot being the one I did in January 2020. It was the Surana and Surana IPR Moot Court Competition in association with IIT Madras and Anand and Anand, where I was the speaker in our team of three. After a close fight with a team from Christ University, Bangalore, we were declared as the first runners-up in the competition.
It was a tremendous learning experience and my first up-close tryst with the law outside books, college, marks and professors. I learnt how to read, write and argue effectively and for that, I am forever grateful to my brilliant teammates. It was a gratifying experience in a beautiful campus with some of the best counsels and legal stalwarts present - with the finals being judged by retired High Court judges. Quite an experience for us second year students!
While moot courts are good for prep, they are not a complete representation of the real world that is out there - with court delays, pendency and lack of time that plague every lawyer, litigant and judge alike. Hence, even though I would recommend moot court for my juniors and to-be-juniors out there - if someone is not good or interested in it, that is completely fine and acceptable. Instead, do something that works for you - whether it is extra and co-curricular debating, writing or ADR competitions that are becoming increasingly commonplace now. There is no perfect way to do law school but that should not deter someone from participating at all - because these experiences culminate in how you turn out in the long run.
10. What’s next for you after your law degree?
This is a hard question to answer at this point because we are such dynamic individuals who keep changing from time to time and right now I am torn between litigation and a law firm job, which I hope to gain clarity on, soon. In the meantime, I am sitting for interviews for the position of legal associate and then allowing destiny to take its course like it always has.
In the long term, I would like to do a masters in an international university to hone my knowledge and skills in the legal field further and travel globally as much as I can. But for now, we will see how it goes and take each hour of each day at a time.

CREATIVE FINANCING OF EDUCATION OR KABUKI THEATER?
Homer Rep. Paul Seaton is pretty pleased about HB 287.
In record time, the chair of House Finance got his bill passed to separate education funding from the herd of other operating budget items and advance it out of the House early in the legislative session.
That way, teachers don’t have to worry about getting a temporary pink slip over the summer if a budget agreement is delayed, as it has since the Democrats took control of the House.
Teachers are voters. This is an election year. Such a bill would put their minds at ease.
The bill, as passed by the House, puts $1.32 billion into education, said Seaton, who is the bill’s author. It’s exactly the amount the governor asked for.
Except that it didn’t. An entire $1.2 billion isn’t in the bill that arrived in the Senate.
In a press release, here’s what the Democrat-controlled House wrote:
“HB 287 Eliminates Uncertainty for School Districts and Prevents Unnecessary Teacher Layoffs.”
It does no such thing, because it has no funds for teachers, only funds for miscellaneous education expenses.
“HB 287 appropriates $1.32 billion for K-12 public education, the same amount as proposed by Governor Walker, and includes $1.2 billion from the Constitutional Budget Reserve (CBR) and $67.8 million from the Statutory Budget Reserve (SBR). The decision to fund public education from the CBR preserves more money in the higher earning Permanent Fund Earning Reserves Account,” Seaton said.
In fact, Seaton’s bill had wished for $1.2 billion from the Constitutional Budget Reserve, which requires a three-quarters vote to access.
But the three-quarters vote failed in the House, so the bill went to the Senate without funding. That’s why the money isn’t in there, although the House Democratic Majority wordsmithing says it is.
The $67 million that is in the bill will pay for student transportation, miscellaneous things, and for special schools, such as Mount Edgcumbe High School in Sitka.
There is no regular funding for the base student allocation — the BSA — because Seaton either forgot or decided not to include a fall-back plan if the CBR vote failed.
“This bill is not going to accomplish what people think it does,” said Rep. Mike Chenault, on the House floor. “School bond debt reimbursement is not included in this bill. Neither are PRS and TRS payments that the state makes. That’s going to come along in the remaining bills and the operating budget. Until those are all set in stone, the school districts are not going to actually know how much money they’re going to get.”
Only three members of the House voted against HB 287: Budget hawks Reps. Cathy Tilton, David Eastman, Tammie Wilson.
HB 287 was co-sponsored by House Democrats and nominal Democrats Justin Parish, Jason Grenn, Harriet Drummond, Dan Ortiz, Chris Tuck, Jonathan Kreiss-Tomkins, Bryce Edgmon, Scott Kawasaki, Andy Josephson, Ivy Spohnholz, Les Gara, Neal Foster, David Guttenberg, Louise Stutes, Gabrielle LeDoux, Matt Claman, Sam Kito, Adam Wool, Geran Tarr, Zach Fansler, and John Lincoln, the freshman replacing Westlake.
Now it’s the Senate’s turn, and because it is an appropriations bill, senators could insert the entire operating budget into it and shoot it back to the House as a complete budget. The Senate could do a lot of things to the bill and send it back. But one thing it’s not likely to do is break into the quickly depleting CBR early, before it knows what the rest of the spending needs are.
The CBR balance is roughly $2.59 billion. The Walker Administration has been running deficits of about $2.5 billion a year that have brought the CBR down to its now fragile status.
“Providing for quality public education in Alaska is among our core constitutional responsibilities and warrants this innovative approach,” said Speaker Bryce Edgmon.
The approach was innovative: Pass an appropriations bill over to the Senate but leave out the funding.

"This book meets the need for a comprehensive, up-to-date review of wheat chemistry, processing and uses. It provides the reader with extensive new information on wheat components that will be useful in better commercial utilization of wheat and the formulation of new and upgraded wheat-based food products. The book serves as a one-volume information resource for all those involved in the research, development, formulation, and evaluation of wheat-based food products.
From the Authors' Preface
Wheat continues to be one of the world's most important grains, especially as a food, where the unique properties of its products can be utilized to advantage. It provides an excellent example of a natural product from which a wide range of useful by-products can be made. This book discusses the components of the wheat kernel, which provide interesting examples of study of carbohydrate and protein chemistry, as well as lipids, minerals and vitamins.
This book should serve as a useful reference for the cereal chemist, as well as chemists and food technologists in those industries in which by-products of flour are used, e.g., the confectionery industry in which modified starches and starch syrups are used. In addition, nutritionists, dieticians, and many kinds of researchers will find chapters of interest. Particular attention is given to particle-size determinations, an important area in food processing, and to the role of wheat proteins in gluten intolerance and wheat allergy. . . . Both the milling of wheat and flour quality are discussed in order to give the reader an idea of the distribution of the major components and the importance of proper size reduction. The book also has a chapter on wet milling of wheat flour . . . and chapters on the properties and uses of wheat starch, starch syrups, and chemically modified wheat starch.

A new offering from the owners of Rizzo Pizzeria, Græni Risinn, is rather unremarkable from the outside: a typical Skeifan strip-mall with the establishment’s name marking the building’s façade in bright green lettering. This is a complete disconnect from what patrons are faced with once they’ve made it through the front doors—glossy black walls, blood-red banquette seating along the far wall and six flat-screen televisions broadcasting the music video’s du jour on Nova TV in unison.
While the décor hints that this little eatery fancies itself a nightclub, the menu is all about health. The menu boasts that all the dishes on offer are free of MSG and other flavour enhancing additives and lists such items as salad, wraps, burgers (either vegetarian or chicken—no beef), healthy pizzas and a tandoori and grilled menu.
Looking for something warm and flavourful, I gravitated to the tandoori menu, settling on the Tandoori Chicken on a Spear (1470 ISK), which comes with the soup of the day. Upon asking the cashier what the soup of the day was, he cartoonishly scratched his head, shrugged his shoulders and directed me to the sign by the door to check for myself. It was Persian Vegetable. My date chose a Jordanian Wrap (890 ISK) and the soup of the day (200 ISK when added to a meal, 430 ISK when bought alone).
Then we waited. We watched the music videos on a flat-screen of our choosing, taking in the visuals of Justin Bieber and Rammstein without being able to hear the audio over the chatter of the packed space. We sipped our beverages and read their respective labels—apparently “if it matters [I should] MAX it.™” We mused about how the soup of the day being titled “Persian Vegetable” implies that the Persians consider chicken a vegetable, as the main component floating in the watery and bland broth was chicken meat. Then we began to question how a wrap and a chicken dish could be taking more than a half hour to prepare.
When the food finally arrived it looked promising. The Jordanian Wrap was massive and the Tandoori Chicken, grilled veggies, rice and salad filled the sizeable plate placed in front of me. The promise of the meal withered away and soon became slight disappointment upon discovery that my “tandoori” chicken lacked any flavour or spice and tasted only of blackening from being cooked over a flame grill. The same blackened flavour dominated the grilled vegetables, and the wild rice tasted as though it had been placed on my plate a half hour earlier when my order was first placed and was left to dry out while the other components of the dish were tediously prepared. The saving grace of the dish was the fresh yogurt sauce, in which I dipped my chicken, vegetables and, in haste, even my dry rice. However, once the sauce was depleted, so was my patience for the meal.
My date was less disappointed by his Jordanian Wrap, though the bulk of it was shredded iceberg lettuce and neither of us could understand what made the dish “Jordanian” as it lacked any of the nation’s classic culinary staples—hummus, tabouleh, cinnamon, nutmeg, etc. Plus it wasn’t so much a wrap as a loose fold, which spilled its contents when lifted to be eaten. My date’s telling verdict was a neutral “it’s nothing special.”

PEOPLE with respiratory problems can breathe easier, thanks to a new iPhone application.
The new application has been developed by the Sussex Air Quality Partnership in partnership with King’s College London and covers the whole of Sussex and London.
It informs users of the local air pollution levels. This means that those with breathing problems can alter their daily activities and medication to fit in with their local air quality.
‘Many people suffer with breathing problems – from asthma to pulmonary respiratory disease. Air pollution can make these conditions worse, and so information made available by this new application helps them to make decisions about their daily activities’, said Councillor Heather Caird, deputy leader of Chichester District Council.
It is available to download free from the iTunes application store. Go to itunes.apple.com/us/app/sussexair/id409140527?mt=8. More information can be found on the Sussex Air website. sussex-air.net.

A family that runs a small chain of Hasidic clothing shops is in turmoil because one of its founders has launched a competing line of fur hats, black coats and trousers.
Making matters worse, the owners of Glauber’s Quality Clothing say in their $2 million Brooklyn federal lawsuit, their rogue brother set up shop less than a mile away.
Glauber’s, founded by a group of Brooklyn siblings in 1985, contends that the brother, who isn’t identified, ripped off their trademark and should be forced to stop using the name immediately.
They claim that rival Glauber’s Traditional Clothing is selling Hasidic items from yarmulkes to long black coats and fur hats in an effort to cash in on the sterling reputation of the original company.
“Our client has good reason to be concerned that the owners and driving force behind this business about to be launched is none other than their former business partner (and brother),” reads a cease-and-desist letter submitted this month.
“There is absolutely no reason or justification for your company to adopt the Glauber name, in competition with its former partner,” the letter states.
Rather than abandon the moniker, the separatist Glauber instead opened a new emporium in upstate Monroe, less than a mile from one of their stores, court papers state.
The upstart’s attorney, Michael Steinmetz, called the lawsuit an 11th-hour “ambush” and asked Judge Pamela Chen not to force an immediate restriction on the use of the family name.
“Plaintiff’s shameful tactic should not be rewarded,” his court filing states, noting that a ruling “in the middle of its grand opening” would be “devastating.”
Steinmetz argued that the original Glaubers officially sought to trademark the title only in 2012 and that it’s an “inherently weak mark.”
In its suit, the original company argues that its products were “met with popular approval as a result of plaintiff’s extensive marketing, promotion, advertising and sale of its products,” according to court papers.
“Garments offered for sale by defendant and intended for sale to the Chassidic men’s community bear a label which not only contains our trademark, but contains a logo intended to emulate the logo of the plaintiff,” the suit states, using the traditional spelling.
Steinmetz declined to comment on the case.
The attorney for the plaintiff, Avrom Vann, also declined to comment.


With that defined, let’s talk about how it works in practice. Configuration management usually spans a few areas. It often relates to different ideas, like creating “pipelines” to build and test our products. Or it might relate to writing “infrastructure-as-code” to capture in code the current state of our infrastructure.
Configuration management was traditionally a purely manual task, completed by a systems administrator. The role was a lot of manual work involving carefully documenting the state of the system. But the industry has changed completely. These changes came from the popularity of DevOps, advances in network computing, and new automation tooling.
Now that we’ve set the scene, we can dive into the details of configuration management. So let’s get to it.
What the World Looks Like With Configuration Management. Before we explore different tools for configuration management, we need to know what end results we’ll receive for our efforts.
What are the outcomes of well-implemented configuration management?
Let’s cover the benefits:
If the worst does happen, configuration management ensures that our assets are easily recoverable. The same applies to rollbacks. Configuration management makes it so that when we’ve put out bad code, we can go back to the state of our tools before the change.
Uptime and Site Reliability
The term “site reliability” refers to how often your service is up. We have all worked at companies where each second of downtime causes disasters.
A frequent cause of downtime is bad deployments, which can be caused by differences in running production servers to test servers. With our configuration managed properly, our test environments can mimic production, so there’s less chance of an unwelcome surprise.
Provisioning is the act of adding more resources like servers to our running application. Configuration management ensures that we know what a good state of our service is. That way, when we want to increase the number of servers that we run, it’s simply a case of clicking a button or running a script. The goal is really to make provisioning a non-event.
These are just some of the benefits of configuration management. But there are some other ones, too. You’ll experience faster onboarding of new team members, easier collaboration between teams, and extended lifecycle of products/assets, among other benefits.
The World Without Configuration Management
Sometimes it’s easier to understand a concept by understanding its opposite. What does trouble look like for configuration management, and what are we trying to avoid? Let’s take a look.
A developer implementing a feature will commonly install some tools and deploy code. If things are sloppy, this developer probably makes the team and manager aware of the intention to come back later to clean it all up—that it’s simply a demonstration and will be rewritten soon.
But then the deadline starts pressing, and the task of going back through and rewriting the installation steps as a script gets pushed lower and lower in priority. Before we know it, a lot of time has passed, and a new developer gets put on the project. That developer is now left to pick up the pieces, trying to understand what happened. It’s quite likely they aren’t even going to touch the configuration of the server. Who knows what it would do?
The above situation is precisely what configuration management helps you avoid. We don’t want to be left in the dark as a result of developers setting up tools without proper documentation/traceability. Rather, we want to know the answers to questions like
What services are we running?
What state are those services in?
How did they get to their current state?
What was the purpose for the changes?
Configuration management can tell us these answers.
That hopefully paints a clearer picture of the problems that configuration management is trying to solve.
How Configuration Management Fits in With DevOps, Continuous Delivery, and More…
Hopefully by now you’re starting to get the hang of what configuration management is and what it aims to do. Before we go on to discuss tooling, lets take a moment to address how configuration management fits in with other concepts like DevOps, continuous integration, continuous delivery, and Docker so that you can understand how these concepts fit in with the ideas of configuration management.
Is Configuration Management Compatible With Tool Flexibility?
Yes. It reflects the desire to make changes to our tools faster so that we can respond to market demands. Configuration management helps us to safely manage our changes and keep velocity high.
Where Do Pipelines Fit Into Configuration Management”?
Pipelines are the steps or “value stream,” which we can create with tools that we usually automate, taking code from commit to production. Pipelines usually involve steps such as unit testing code, integration testing code, and creating artifacts. So a pipeline is a form of configuration management. When we build with tools like Docker, we codify our build instructions into our Docker Work Order. This allows us to better understand the dependencies of our artifacts.
Is Infrastructure-as-Code Configuration Management?
Infrastructure-as-code is the practice of ensuring all provisioned infrastructure is done so through code. so we have a written record of which services exist, where they are located, and under what circumstance. Configuration management might choose to leverage the code in order to achieve the full understanding of all the technology assets a company owns.
Is Continuous Integration/Delivery Configuration Management?
Continuous delivery is the process of ensuring that tools are always in a releasable state. You can achieve this through heavy automation and testing. Continuous integration is the process of bringing separate artifacts together into a single location on a frequent basis, for the purposes of verifying that the code integrates properly. Continuous integration tools, which are typically servers that run automation-testing suites, act as a form of configuration management by providing visibility into the steps required to set up and configure a given artifact.
That should clear up some of your questions about how configuration management fits with some practices or ideas that you might be using or are familiar with. Any discussion of configuration management would be incomplete, however, without a discussion about tooling. So, let’s take a look at the different tools we have at our disposal for implementing configuration management.
What Are Configuration Management Tools?
There are many different tools for configuration management. In fact, it can get confusing, as there are tools that support configuration management without explicitly being configuration management tools.
For instance, Docker neatly packages up steps needed to set up and run an application in Docker Work Order. However, people don’t often consider Docker a configuration management tool.
To make things clearer, let’s divide up the common tools that might fall under or relate to configuration management:
Configuration Management Tools
These are the tools you see typically associated with configuration management that provide ways to codify steps that we require in order to bring an asset in line with a current definition of how that asset should look. For instance, you might create a playbook that ensures that all of our X servers have Y installed within them.
If our configuration management tools include the setup we need on our assets, our provisioning tools are how we get those assets. It’s this blurred line that explains why we need to bring these tools into our discussion of configuration management. And many consider it an anti-pattern to use configuration management tools for provisioning.
We talked briefly about delivery pipelines, but implementing them requires tooling. By using tools to codify our build process, we make it easy for other developers to understand how our artifacts are modified and created, which is a form of configuration management.
Source Control Tools
While we need to codify our automation in scripts, if we don’t appropriately track the history of our changes, then we aren’t really achieving configuration management.
How Can I Get Started With Configuration Management?
Where to start? Do you begin by researching tools? Implementing some automation? Auditing your existing servers? Talking to others in your company?
Where you start with anything always depends on where you currently are. That said, only you are aware of your current situation and the limitations and resources available. Below are a couple different places you can begin your journey to effective configuration management:
Audit your tools—What tools do you currently have? What’s the state of it? Is it well documented? Are the setup and run instructions known for the tools
Perform a tools assessment—Do an assessment of what tools exist on the market for configuration management. The ones listed above are a good start. Identify which tools could help you solve some of your configuration management problems.
Learn about best practices—Successfully implementing configuration management isn’t a one-and-done task. It takes time and work to continually ensure that all new tools are appropriately audited and tracked. So you might want to look into some different key concepts, such as Infrastructure-as-Code and build and release pipelines.
It’s Time For Everything-as-Code!
And that’s all! Hopefully that helps to clear things up for you about configuration management. It’s all about keeping track of the current state of your tools infrastructure.
There are many ways to implement configuration management, and there are lots of different tools and processes. So when it comes to strategy, be sure to take your time assessing options and understanding how you want your configuration management processes to work.
It will all be worth it in the end, though. Get your configuration management right and your teams will be safer, more productive, and faster to make changes.
So from now on, audit, track, and write everything-as-code. The minimal set of activities to be covered by the configuration plan should accomplish the following:
1. Identification and control of all tooling requirements, code and design change interfaces
2. Control of tooling user, operating, and maintenance documentation
3. Control and retrieval of qualification information associated with tooling designs and code; configuration accounting
4. Control of tooling building, release, and delivery of products.
5. For security system components, configuration items or controlled databases should include tooling requirements,
6. Data files used and called directly or indirectly by tooling
7. Support tooling used in development, exact versions.
8. Libraries of tooling components essential to security
9. Tooling plans that could affect quality
10. Test results used to qualify tooling


Nittan (UK) Ltd has introduced a new analogue addressable photoelectric smoke sensor with built-in sounder to their Evolution range.
The new EV-PS has been installed into a new medical centre in Bridgwater, Somerset, which is the first UK installation of the combined sensor/sounder.
The Cranleigh Gardens Medical Centre is a purpose built facility which is fully accessable for disabled patients as the building now allows the practice to offer appointments with a physiotherapist, foot specialist and additional therapists.
A fire detection system featuring the Evolution EV-PS was specified as it comes with a sounder fully integrated within the sensor itself, unlike many other smoke sensors available which require a separate sounder base to be installed adding further costs and time to the installation.
Even with its compact size, the EV-PS still incorporates the latest alarm technology for exceptional reliability and performance, including ASIC design, EEPROM addressable capability, low monitoring current and a chemically etched stainless steel insect screen to reduce ingress of insects and airborne contaminants.
For ease of use, the EV-PS features Nittan's OMNIVIEW 360 degree LED fire alarm indicator, permitting clear and visible indication of the sensor's operation from any angle and a remote indicator output.

Laying the groundwork for their many adaptations to come, Hammer chooses their setpieces wisely: an amazing castle, spooky cemetery, the woods at night, all fitting perfectly into the horse and carriage days of the 1880's. A notch above Browning's (Lugosi) version but no match for Murnau (Schreck) or Herzog (Kinski).

This film is very well done. John Williams' score adds just the right touch to what is being depicted on screen. I really enjoyed this film and I think you will too. Just be prepared with a hanky or two. It will bring a tear to your eye.

Top Tips To Treat And Prevent Pizza Burn
Pizza may very well be the first food to have a medical condition named for it. The painful singe that occurs when you bite into a steamy cheese-laden slice has earned the official moniker pizza palate syndrome. Of course, any food that is too hot can burn the roof of your mouth or your tongue. But pizza is among the most likely culprits. The cheese on top holds in the heat. Pizza can be up to 200 degrees F when you put it in your mouth. Fortunately, while pizza burn hurts, it seldom does serious harm. Your reflexes cue you to stop eating the offending slice since almost immediately, so it is not in contact with the mouth tissue long enough to cause last damage.
A pizza burn will heal on its own, usually within 7 to 10 days. Of all the parts of the body, the mouth has greatest healing potential. Almost all the cells on the surface of the mouth turn over every few days. So when it comes to treating a pizza burn, your best bet may be to simply let nature takes its course. If you want to do something to ease your discomfort in the meantime, you may wish to try out the following tips and suggestions.
Get wet. You might get some relief from rinsing your mouth. It does not matter if you use warm or cold water. Just go with whichever feet better.
Take a pill for the pain. If you want to try an over-the-counter pain reliever, just about any anti-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) such as ibuprofen or naproxen will do. But forget the old wives' tale about putting aspirin directly on the injured area to help it heal. It could make matters even worse. Aspirin is a highly caustic chemical. It's irritating to the tissue and could cause a fairly serious acid burn.
Numb it. You can purchase over-the-counter ointments that contain benzocaine such as Zilactin. Benzocaine is a sleeping agent that will help soothe the area. For something a little stronger, talk to your dentist about using a prescription-strength topical medication.
Do not get irritated. When you are nursing a pizza burn, be careful of what you eat and drink. Try to stick with foods on the mild side, both in temperature and in flavor. And stay away from foods that are spicy or that contain citric acid, such as orange juice, tomato juice, and even highly acidic soft drinks such as colas. If you absolutely must drink an acidic juice concentration, mix it with a little water first. Diluting the juice reduces the acidic concentration, so it will not burn when you drink it.
Banish the butts. Smoking will just irritate the burn and slow the healing process. So now you have yet another good reason to quit.

Your HVAC heating and cooling system circulates all of the air in your house. The effectivity of motors begins to drop off steeply when they run at lower than 75 percent of full load; they will consume over twice as much energy as the load requires. Initially, warmth pump HVAC programs have been only used in moderate climates, but with improvements in low temperature operation and decreased hundreds due to more efficient properties, they are growing in reputation in cooler climates.
Some air conditioner models require the motor be lubricated. In air con, warmth is removed from air by way of refrigeration cycles that use some type of warmth sink to move heat from one space to another. We now have been addressing the heating and air-con needs of business companies for almost 90 years.
In observe, nonetheless, it's very common to see a multi-break up system with a total capability of indoor items larger than the outdoor capability by not less than 20%. Heating and cooling systems additionally use thermostats. The hospital HVAC design team should establish which areas in the new hospital design often is the most affected by the hospital air-con renovation and take the suitable precautions.

New AG wants to settle lawsuit over same-sex adoption
DETROIT (AP) — Under new leadership, the Michigan attorney general’s office is in talks to settle a lawsuit by same-sex couples who say their rights have been violated by faith-based adoption agencies that don’t want to work with gays and lesbians.
A federal judge granted a 30-day timeout Thursday for negotiations between the American Civil Liberties Union and Attorney General Dana Nessel.
During the fall campaign, Nessel told The Associated Press there’s “no viable defense” to a 2015 law signed by then-Gov. Rick Snyder. The law says faith-based groups can refuse to provide certain services if they conflict with their beliefs and still get tax dollars.
Nessel, who is a lesbian, said the only purpose is discrimination.
Groups such as Catholic Charities and Bethany Christian Services are paid by the state to place children from troubled families with new families.


Last week we posted about the Emirates Airlines Green flight which offers some degree of green protocol but still the darn plane runs on pure petroleum. It looks like someone in the airline industry woke up because just a couple days ago Continental Airlines made a test run of a plane that runs on sustainable biofuel.
This commercial demo flight represents a first for North America airspace. It also marks the first sustainable biofuel demonstration flight by a commercial carrier using a two-engine aircraft, a Boeing 737-800 equipped with CFM International CFM56-7B engines.
We know your thinking that we’ll have to sacrifice our GMO, herbicide infested corn to create the fuel for us jet setters. These airline peeps got it right by the fact that the biofuel blend includes components derived from algae and jatropha plants, both sustainable, second-generation sources that do not impact food crops or water resources or contribute to deforestation. The algae oil comes via Sapphire Energy, and the jatropha oil by Terasol Energy.
This flight signifies the first time a commercial carrier will power a flight using fuel derived in part from algae. This biofuel blend consist of consists of 50 percent biologically-derived fuel and 50 percent traditional jet fuel, in the No. 2 engine. The aircraft’s No. 1 engine will operate on 100 percent traditional jet fuel, allowing Continental to compare performance between the biofuel blend and traditional fuel. So, think of it as B50 for planes. We can only hope for B100 for planes in the near future.
Even with a 50-50 blend, this biofuel will result in a significant net decrease in carbon emissions in comparison to traditional jet fuel, as both jatropha and algae consume carbon during their lifecycles.
Don’t be pestering your travel agent to book you on a Green Continental flight just yet. This test flight out of Houston’s Bush Intercontinental Airport lasted about two hours but carried no passengers. We would even sit in the middle seat in economy class between a soon-to-be-divorced couple for the chance to fly in this puppy. Sure, some airlines talk about selling carbon offsets, recycling on-board and decreasing taxiing time in terms of Green transportation, which we of course support to varying degrees. But here Continental, Boeing, GE Aviation/CFM and UOP have created something tangible with good old American know how (like we used to) with this sustainable biofuel airline flight.
Now if they can only do something about the on-board air quality.

Flow across a square cylinder
The flow across a square cylinder is an important test case for the validation of separated flows in the turbulent regime. In the past, it has been regularly used to validate Large Eddy Simulation (LES) models.
Experiments studying the flow across a square cylinder have been available since about the time of Vickery (1966), while modern simulations usually tend to reproduce the results of Lyn and Rodi (1994) whose data set is publicly available.

WASHINGTON -- Rep. Barney Frank is paring back his plan to create a dedicated agency to oversee consumer financial products, addressing concerns raised by business groups and lawmakers, but chipping away at a central plank of the administration's plan to overhaul financial regulation.
Mr. Frank, a Democrat from Massachusetts who is chairman of the House Financial Services Committee, said in a memo to Democrats on his panel that the revised proposal for a Consumer Financial Protection Agency will eliminate the Obama administration's proposed requirement that financial firms offer "plain vanilla" products to consumers, a move banks said would reduce consumer choice.

Bridgestone has launched its first-ever all-season tyre for the light truck segment: the DURAVIS All Season.
Designed with both small and large fleet operations in mind, Bridgestone’s new DURAVIS All Season tyres are ideal for professionals who want to maximise their business efficiency and stay in control with the same tyres throughout the year.
Achieving a best-in-class EU label A-grade in wet grip, the Bridgestone DURAVIS All Season allows fleets to keep going even in adverse weather conditions. The tyre delivers this through high-volume slots in its shoulder for improved water evacuation and an optimised contact pressure distribution.
Certified by the 3 Peak Mountain Snow Flake (3PMSF) and Mud + Snow (M + S) markings, Bridgestone’s DURAVIS All Season is fully winter-ready. The tyre achieves this thanks to a combination of compound design, a V-shaped layout to improve snow mobility and an optimised carcass construction. The DURAVIS All Season’s notable performance in the wet and snow is also down to Bridgestone’s new nano-selective compound mixing technology which allows better silica dispersion in Bridgestone’s Nano Pro-tech™ compound.
The robust tyre applies a sidewall protector rib to shield it from impacts with the curb. This not only helps to reduce frequent tyre damage and repair costs, but also cuts vehicle downtime.
Bridgestone DURAVIS All Season will be available as of August 2020, with several additional sizes releasing from September onwards. The tyre will be available in 23 sizes, including three HRD sizes and five high load sizes (10PR), to accommodate almost every type of vehicle and load with enhanced safety.
