(TibetanReview.net, Nov25’20) – Active Covid-19 cases in India has increased for the third time in the past four days, with fresh infections on Nov 24 outnumbering recoveries by more than 5,500, reported the timesofindia.com Nov 25, citing figures it had compiled from state government reports. The report said this was the highest single-day increase in active cases since Oct 1, a sign that the pandemic could be on the rise again in the country.
Active cases had been falling since Oct 1 as Covid-19 cases decreased steadily. The decreasing trend was first broken on Nov 14, and then again last Saturday (Nov 21), the report said.
Capital Delhi continued to lead the daily tally of cases and fatalities, reporting 6,224 fresh cases and 109 deaths this morning. This was the ninth straight day Delhi’s count of new cases was the highest in India, and the fourth day running when the capital recorded the highest death toll from the virus. However, fresh cases in the capital had shown a slight decline last week as compared with the previous week, the report said.
The Covid situation in Himachal Pradesh, home to the exile Tibetan headquarter, had become alarming with the hill state having the highest positivity rate of 15.3% in the country, reported the tribuneindia.com Nov 25. Positivity rate, the percentage of people found to be infected out of those tested, shows how widespread the disease is.
The positive cases had shot up in the last fortnight, especially in the four districts of Shimla, Mandi, Kullu and Kangra where night curfew has been imposed, the report noted.
Meanwhile the latest data from India’s Ministry of Health and Family Welfare show that there were 44,376 new cases and 481 new deaths in the country in the past 24 hours as of Nov 25 at 8AM, taking their cumulative totals to 9,222,216 cases and 134,699 deaths. The number of fresh cases was 16.8% more than the previous day’s 24-hour total, noted the ndtv.com Nov 25.
A total of 8,642,771, or 93.72%, had recovered while the number of active cases was 444,746, or 4.82% of the total. The case fatality rate was 1.46%. These were slight deteriorations over the previous day’s figures.
The latest daily number of new cases, at 44,376, was less than the daily number of those who had recovered, at 37,816, leading to an increase in the number of active cases by 6,079.
The number of active cases remained below five lakh for the 15th successive day after remaining below six lakh for 12 days.
India is currently the country with the world’s second highest number of Covid-19 cases and the third highest number of deaths.
Eight states, namely Maharashtra, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, and West Bengal had each accumulated more than 463,000 cases each in that order.
They were followed by eight other states with more than 200,000 cases each and which included, Odisha, Telangana, Rajasthan, Bihar, Chattisgarh, Haryana, Assam, and Gujarat in that order.
Four more states/ Union Territories, namely Madhya Pradesh, Punjab, Jharkhand, and Jammu & Kashmir had reported more than 107,000 cases each so far in that order.
Ten more states/Union Territories, namely Uttarakhand, Goa, Puducherry, Himachal Pradesh, Tripura, Manipur, Chandigarh, Arunachal Pradesh, Meghalaya, and Nagaland reported more than 10,000 cases each in that order.
Besides, there were five other states/Union Territories with a total of more than 3,000 cases each, namely, Ladakh, Sikkim, Andaman and Nicobar Islands, Mizoram, and Dadra and Nagar Haveli and in that order.
Maharashtra also had the highest cumulative number of deaths at 46,683 (↑30); followed by Karnataka and Tamil Nadu with more than 11,600 deaths each; Delhi and West Bengal with over 8,100 deaths each, Uttar Pradesh with over 7,600 deaths; Andhra Pradesh with over 6,900 deaths; Punjab with more than 4,600 death; Gujarat and Madhya Pradesh with more than 3,100 deaths each; Chattisgarh, Haryana, Rajasthan and Kerala with more than 2,000 deaths each; Odisha, Jammu & Kashmir, Telangana, Bihar, and Uttarakhand with more than 1,100 deaths each; Assam, Jharkhand, Goa, Puducherry, Himachal Pradesh, Tripura, Chandigarh, Manipur, Meghalaya, and Ladakh with between 976 and 105 deaths each, and so on in that order.
The total number of Covid-19 cases among Tibetans in India, Nepal and Bhutan had increased for the second successive day to reach 1,245 (↑8), of whom 142 were active, 1,072 had recovered and 31 (↑2) had died, according to the latest tally of the Central Tibetan Administration (CTA) as of Nov 25.
Across the world the number of Covid-19 cases has totaled 59,827,512 and the deaths 1,410,458, according to the tally of Johns Hopkins University as of 2:56 PM on Nov 25, 2020.

NBN Co chief executive, Mike Quigley, has responded to media reports this week that the telco's network was compromised.
Quigley said the company was not hacked nor placed at risk, following the alleged attack on its retail customer Platform Networks by a 25-year-old man who went by the screen name ‘Evil’.
"The incident yesterday related to a commercial customer [Platform Networks] of NBN Co that has not yet connected services over the National Broadband Network,” he said.
“Of course we take security seriously. We have controls and processes in place and are working with telcos, internet service providers, and the broader industry in security scenario planning.”
He added that any suggestion the NBN Co could have been hacked was “entirely wrong” and that the allegations were a case of “misleading reporting”.

Directed by Baz Luhrmann (Moulin Rouge!; The Great Gatsby; Australia) and starring Austin Butler (Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood; The Dead Don't Die), Tom Hanks (Forrest Gump; Philadelphia; Cast Away; Saving Private Ryan), Richard Roxburgh (Moulin Rouge!; Van Helsing; The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen) and Olivia DeJonge (The Sisterhood of Night; The Visit; The Staircase (TV Series)).
Biopic; 159 mins; 12+
On the one hand, this biopic charts the rise of the superstar from his humble roots in Tupelo, Mississippi, to Memphis, Tennessee (the two of them are closer than Brussels is to Luxembourg) and through his career to his 5-year residency in Las Vegas.
On the other hand, it also delves into the complex relationship Elvis had with his manager Colonel Tom Parker (Tom Hanks) - who appeared to have a shady past - and how they depended on each other.
However, unlike the 2019 film Rocketman, which charted the early years of Elton John, and the 2018 film Bohemian Rhapsody, which focussed on the lead-up to Queen's famous performance at Live Aid in 1985, Elvis spans a timeline from when Elvis Presley (Austin Butler) was around 10 years old up to his death in 1977 at the age of 42.
Many aspects of the film are fascinating, on how Elvis' family were integrated and assimilated into black culture, including music and gospel music, in particular. It shows how Col Tom Parker was a manager in a fairground and was always on the lookout for the "next big thing"; importantly, he knew what the ingredients were for a top act. And, when a local record label took him under his wing (he was their only white artist) and put out his first record, everyone was playing it. Col Tom Parker swooped and became him manager, not only persuading Elvis that he would make him "big" but also convincing Elvis' father, Vernon (Richard Roxburgh), that he was the right man for the job.
It shows how he bought his home, Graceland, and how / why he served in the armed forces, and it showed how he met Priscilla (Olivia DeJonge) who would become his wife. It also showed why he never performed overseas (apart from 3 cities in Canada), his foray into films and Hollywood, and also his introduction to addiction, which ultimately killed him. It explains a lot about his life and ties all the pieces together, seamlessly.
"Elvis" is a long film, over two and a half hours, but it does cover a lot of ground. And the music, well, this is something you should go and listen to for yourself/ves. The archive shots/scenes are well blended into the final cuts that sometimes it is difficult to tell apart fact from fiction. One thing that may be a bit difficult to get used to is tom Hanks’ accent he uses for his character. But is it (sort of, anyway) revealed late on in the film.

Translation of Bhagavad Gita 14.11
The manifestations of the mode of goodness can be experienced when all the gates of the body are illuminated by knowledge.
Commentary by Sri A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada of Gaudiya Sampradaya:
There are nine gates in the body: two eyes, two ears, two nostrils, the mouth, the genitals and the anus. When every gate is illuminated by the symptoms of goodness, it should be understood that one has developed the mode of goodness.
In the mode of goodness, one can see things in the right position, one can hear things in the right position, and one can taste things in the right position. One becomes cleansed inside and outside. In every gate there is development of the symptoms of happiness, and that is the position of goodness.
Commentary by Sri Vishvanatha Chakravarthi Thakur of Gaudiya Sampradaya:
It has been stated that the prominent guna overshadows the other two gunas, which have become weak of their own accord. Now the Lord speaks of the qualities of increasing gunas in three verses. When illumination or knowledge, real awareness of things through the sound of the Vedas, appears in all the doors such as the ears, one should understand there is an increase in sattva through such symptoms of knowledge. The word uta (also) indicates there will also be an appearance of happiness arising from the soul. When knowledge and happiness appear,. one should understand there is an increase in sattva.
Commentary by Sri Ramanuja of Sri Sampradaya:
14.11 When the light of knowledge shines revealing the truth of things emerging through all the gateways of knowledge such as the eyes etc., in the body, one should know that Sattva is prevailing.
Commentary by Sri Sridhara Swami of Rudra Sampradaya:
Now Lord Krishna delineates the developed characteristics of sattva guna or mode of goodness by explaining that when the five sense s no longer exercise there search for sense gratification but instead focus their attention to the experiencing the atma or immortal soul; then the light of knowledge radiates througfh them and by this manifestation it can be ascertained that sattva guna is predominant within a jiva or embodied being. Also by the signs of happiness and effulgence.
Commentary by Sri Madhvacharya of Brahma Sampradaya:
Sri Madhvacharya did not comment on this sloka.
Commentary by Sri Keshava Kashmiri of Kumara Sampradaya:
One can recognise the presence of the three gunas or modes of material nature by their productive effects. Lord Krishna states that when the gates of the physical body which are the senses such as the eyes and ears, etc. by which one perceives light and sound achieve a sense of dispassion and discerment then arise s the light of true perception and it symbolises that sattva guna or the mode of goodness is predominant based on its feeling of well being and happiness.
Commentary by Sri Adi Shankaracharya of Advaita Sampradaya:
14.11 Yada, when; prakasah, the illumination-prakasa, illumination, is a function of the internal organ, intelligence; that itself is jnanam, knowledge; when this illumination called knowledge upajayate, radiates; asmin, in this; dehe, body; sarva-dvaresu, through all the doors-all the sense organs, (viz) ear etc., are the Self’s doors of perception; through all those doors; tada, then; through this indication, viz the illumination that is knowledge, vidyat, one should know; iti, that; sattva has vivrddham, increased; uta, greatly [See A.G.-Tr.]. This is the characteristics of rajas when it has become prominent:
Commentary by Sri Abhinavagupta of Kaula Tantra Sampradaya:
14.11-13 Sarva-etc. upto kurunandana. In all the gates : in all the sense-organs. Greed etc., are born in succession when the Rajas dominates. Similarly, absence of mental illumination and so on arise in succession only at the time of the increase of the Tamas.
Sanskrit Shloka Without Transliteration Marks:
sarva-dvaresu dehe ’smin
jñanam yada tada vidyad
vivrddham sattvam ity uta
Sanskrit to English Word for Word Meanings:
sarva-dvāreṣu — in all the gates; dehe asmin — in this body; prakāśaḥ — the quality of illumination; upajāyate — develops; jñānam — knowledge; yadā — when; tadā — at that time; vidyāt — know; vivṛddham — increased; sattvam — the mode of goodness; iti uta — thus it is said.

The rack seems to be well built and looks good. I haven't had a chance to try it yet because I am missing a piece that it does not state you need. If you have a round bar rack, such as Yakima, an adapter is needed. I find it very very very deceptive that it states it is Yakima rack mountable, but does not say anything about the adapters that are sold separately. I wish I could give it more stars, but the adapter plates look like a very cheap item that should have been include with the rack.
on December 26, 2012
This is complete false advertising. The product description specifically states that this works on round bars, however, you have to purchase a separate adapter in order to install it. The company that sells this also sells the adapter, of course, so they were fully aware of the need for it. Furthermore, you have to buy a total of 2 adapters, which with shipping adds another $37.00.
If you have round bars, this product is going to cost well over $100.00.
on November 20, 2012
I tried installing these today onto the Thule 450R Aero cross bars which I bought together with. The 2 clamping bolts on each clamp are too short and will not hold the clamp together over the cross bar... no matter what I tried. I even removed the foam pads between the clamps to gain more space... that didn't work either.
I will be trying to find longer bolts in the hardware store. If that doesn't work, these are going back to the returns department.
I'm very frustrated that these "universal" racks don't fit. It's wasted a good couple hours of my time.

Let's talk biology first. Thrushes belong to the muscicapidae family, a sub-family of the turdidae. The genus turdus comprises 67 species of birds. Of these, only 4 concern us. We will introduce them to you below. Do you know why game birds migrate and what influences their migration?
Among sedentary birds, some species occupy a particular territory. They never leave it, regardless of the time of year. Others occupy a territory only during the breeding season. Migratory birds move to other regions during the wintering period.
Since the last ice age, birds have been forced to migrate in search of milder areas, both in terms of climate and food. This is why the Mediterranean area has been a suitable breeding ground.
It is easy to imagine that this problem is related to the lowering of temperatures. As insects become scarcer, birds are forced to look for food elsewhere or even alter the proportions of certain elements of their diet.
Game birds thus adapted by feeding mainly on insects or invertebrates in the summer and opting for berries and fruit in the winter.
Global warming combined with the pressure difference between the Azores anticyclone and the Icelandic low pressure system also play a role in bird migration. Over the last thirty years, this phenomenon has resulted in more frequent westerly winds, leading to rainier and milder winters. As a result, small game populations are being forced to delay or even discontinue their migration.
By way of example, 30 years ago the migration probability index of the wolf thrush in France was 7/10, i.e. seven years out of ten, today it is 2/10, meaning they only migrate to France 2 years out of 10.
Wind also plays a role in migration. When undertaking a long journey, birds differ in the way they use the wind. Game birds decide on the flight altitude for which the wind is most favourable. Radar studies confirm that they migrate with greater intensity in the presence of a tailwind and in headwinds or sidewinds to limit the loss of energy and time.
The creation of intense luminescent sources such as lighthouses and industrial sites, etc., can be an indirect aid to tracking during the migratory journey. However, they can also be a deadly hazard for birds.
Changes in the agricultural landscape also affect migration, especially if they are linked to the loss of feeding sites. The problem lies in the fact that even though birds have a great capacity to adapt, they no longer have sufficient time to adapt so quickly, resulting in significant changes in migratory movements.
Studies enable us to determine the influence of climatic variations on bird migration. Europe's climate is largely dependent on an index called the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO). The NAO Index provides a measure of the difference between the Azores anticyclone and the Icelandic depression.
It has been observed that if the Icelandic depression is strong and the Azores anticyclone is weak, we generally have cold and dry winters in Europe and therefore a chance of heavy migrations. Conversely, if the Icelandic depression is weak and the Azores anticyclone strong, we have mild and wet winters, and therefore low migrations.
Since 2008, the NAO tends to shift from positive to negative, which is a good sign for future migrations.
- MIGRATION: The music thrush is the most well-travelled of all. It is the first to undertake its post-nuptial migration. It can be spotted as early as mid-September. It is also the latest to return to the nesting grounds.
It does not move in large groups, travelling mostly at night on clear days. Its movement is essentially motivated by the search for food. It is not uncommon to find a large number of birds in a hedge loaded with berries.
When they are camped in an area, music thrushes wake up at dawn. They travel for approximately one hour in search of feeding areas. In the evening they return to their resting places in the woods or large coppices shortly before sunset.
- BEHAVIOUR: The music thrush is very cautious and therefore quite suspicious, always lying low. Although they are relatively easy to call, at the slightest suspicious noise or false note, they will fly off.
It has a more sedentary or even semi-migratory behaviour. Only the northern and eastern populations are considered migratory.
- MIGRATION: The drake thrush is not a highly migratory bird. Post-breeding migration takes place in France in early October continuing until November. Pre-breeding migration takes place from late February to April. It does not travel at night. They fly in flocks or small groups.
- BEHAVIOUR: This is the most feral of the thrushes. It is constantly surveying its environment. It spends most of its time in trees, only coming down to the ground to drink or look for insects.
- DISTRIBUTION: It is mainly migratory. Only a few populations are partially migratory. Populations in northern Russia and the Baltic States travel southwest. They are found in England, Portugal, France, and southern Italy.
- MIGRATION: Birds begin their migration in mid-October, reaching southwestern Europe in November. However, if the cold weather appears earlier in northern Europe, They may start their migration as early as the beginning of October. Pre-breeding migration takes place from late February to April with a peak in March. The wolf thrush travels at night as well as during the day.
- BEHAVIOUR: The wolf thrush has a gregarious instinct, often living in colonies. If a flock lands, one bird is enough to make the whole flock join in. Its flight is brisk and fast. It is a wary bird that is rather difficult to approach. It does not respond easily to calls, especially when in a group.
- DISTRIBUTION: This species occupies broadly the same areas as the wolf thrush. However, the species is more widespread in Central Europe, as far as the Alps and the Massif Central.
- MIGRATION: the litorne thrush is very sociable, living in colonies within the species but also with the wolf thrush. They travel and search for food in groups. The Central and Eastern European populations only migrate during periods of severe cold and food deprivation.
Pre-breeding migration extends from the end of February to the end of March. Pre-breeding migration takes place from late February to late March.
- BEHAVIOUR: litorne thrushes travel in large flocks, often during the day like the wolf thrush. The main motivation for travel is food. This is the final thrush to arrive in our country in autumn. The colder the weather, the more abundant the litorne. If the weather gets milder, they tend to move to higher ground.
They often stick to the ground to feed. They respond well to the call, coming even if one imitates the song of the wolf thrush.

Ok guys excuse me if this is an old topic!!! BUT...
I'm trying to make the most of the stock parts on my 50v before I decide to put down the money for performance parts. The only upgrade I've really bothered with is replacing the gurtner with a dellorto 14.12/shorty intake. Right now I'm jetted at 57 (if it matters). I'm planning on doing some mild porting to the cylinder, but not till further (farther?) down the road and I'm wondering if I should even bother derestricting my blunderbuss until then. I have the version with the 2 baffle plates. I'm topping out at 32 on flat ground and it would be awesome if i could just boost it a few mph. Will derestricting with my current setup do that for me? Or am I wasting my time (albeit learning a really valuable skill) and should look into porting first?
The other question I have is if it WILL make the difference I'm looking for, do you guys have any recommendations as far as how much to enlarge the transfer holes on the baffle plates in relation to the widened outlet hole. I know that it's relative to whatever outlet width works best for my setup but I'm looking for ballpark ratios here.
I'm using info I've learned from rebelmoby's discussion on this (and super helpful diagram!!) from this thread: http://mabecanemobylette.freeforums.org/blunderbuss-exhause-modification-t1394.html
Thanks in advance dudes. (edited)

Throughout her career, Olivia Newton-John was a star on the big and small screens, as well as in the music industry and in humanitarian efforts throughout the world.
Before her death in August 2022, the actress had amassed a substantial fortune through her years of hard work in Hollywood.
Born on the 26th of September in 1948, Olivia Newton-John was a British singer and actress. Irene and Brinley were Olivia’s parents; her older siblings Hugh and Rona were married to Jeff Conaway, who starred alongside Olivia in the 1980 film “Grease.”
This MI5 man was a key member of the Enigma project during World War II, eventually becoming Headmaster of Cambridgeshire High School for Boys.
Physicist and Nobel laureate Max Born was Newton-maternal John’s grandfather, and he escaped Nazi persecution by fleeing Germany to the UK.
At age six, Olivia’s family moved from New York City to Melbourne, Australia, where her father accepted a position at the University of Melbourne’s Ormond College. Olivia was ecstatic.
John Newton went to school in Cambridge, Massachusetts, where he attended Christ Church Grammar School and University High School.
What was Olivia Newton-John’s Net Worth?
Her net worth was $60 million at the time of her death. Dame Olivia Newton-John AC DBE was an English actress, singer, author, and producer.
In 2022, Olivia Newton-John, who was 73 at the time of her death, was laid to rest. For several years, she had been battling cancer intermittently.
She had a successful music career and a successful film career. Since her debut in 1996, Olivia has sold an estimated 120 million records worldwide. Known for hits like “Physical,” “I Honestly Love You,” and “Have You Never Been Mellow,” she has released more than 25 studio albums.
Her best-known screen performance is as Sandy Olsson in the 1978 musical “Grease,” but she’s also acted in a number of other films and programs, including “Xanadu” (1979), “Sordid Lives” (2000), and “The Very Excellent Mr. Dundee” (2020).
As a producer, Olivia produced the 2001 television film “The Wilde Girls,” the 2009 documentary “Big River Man,” and the books “Livwise Cookbook: Easy, Well-Balanced, and Delicious Recipes for a Healthy, Happy Life” (2011) and “Don’t Stop Believin'” (2012). (2018).
An OBE and a DBE were bestowed upon Newton-John in 1979 and 2021, respectively, for her contributions to British culture.
Four years prior to the formation of the Elton John & The Supremes, Johnnie created the short-lived all-girl ensemble Sol Four with three classmates. Time for Terry and HSV-7’s The Happy Show, where she appeared as “Lovely Livvy,” made her a household name in Australia.
Also, she appeared on The Go!! The show, where she met her future duet partner, singer Pat Carroll, and her music producer, John Farrar Carroll and Farrar would later marry.
Her renditions of “Anyone Who Had a Heart” and “Everything’s Coming Up Roses” gained her a spot on Johnny O’Keefe’s 1960s Australian variety show Sing, Sing, Sing.
She was hesitant at first to use the prize she had won, a vacation to the United Kingdom, but her mother urged her to extend her horizons nearly a year later.
In 1966, Newton-John released her debut song for Decca Records in the United Kingdom, “Till You Say You’ll Be Mine.
Newton-John missed Ian Turpie, the Australian actor with whom she co-starred in Funny Things Happen Down Under, while she was in the UK. She made numerous reservations to return to Australia, only to have them canceled by her mother.
In the wake of Pat Carroll’s transfer to the UK, Newton-view John’s on life shifted. As a pair, Pat and Olivia performed at nightclubs across Europe.
During a performance at Paul Raymond’s Revue in London’s Soho, they were unaware that it was a strip club until they appeared on stage in prim, frilly, high-collared costumes.
Newton-John remained in the UK until 1975, when her visa expired, forcing her to return to Australia.
Don Kirshner, an American producer, recruited Newton-John to join his band Tomorrow. A “science fiction musical” film and a corresponding soundtrack album, both titled after the group and released by the record label RCA, was released in 1970.
It was the same year that the band released two singles, “You’re My Baby Now”/”Goin’ Back” and “I Could Never Live Without Your Love”/”Roll Like a River”. The endeavor was a failure, and the band disbanded after the release of neither single.
Olivia Newton-John Boyfriends
While dating Bruce Welch and Lee Kramer, Olivia Newton-John also dated actors, Matt Lattanzi and Patrick McDermott.
During her engagement to Bruce Welch, who produced some of her music and co-wrote her song “Please Mr. Please,” he attempted suicide.
After dating businessman Lee Kramer in 1973, who later became her manager, Newton-John was with him for most of the 1970s, however, she referred to their union as “one continuous split.”
In 1984, she married her Xanadu co-star Matt Lattanzi and they had a daughter, Chloe Rose (born in 1986). They divorced in 1995.
Patrick McDermott, a cameraman/gaffer with whom Olivia had a long-term relationship for nearly a decade, mysteriously vanished from her life during a fishing trip off the California coast in 2005. According to stories, McDermott faked his death and moved to Mexico years ago.
After exchanging their vows in an Incan spiritual ceremony in Peru on June 21, 2008, Newton-John married John Easterling, the founder of the Amazon Herb Company, nine days later at Jupiter Island, Florida.

Earlier this month, Microsoft launched the new Microsoft Teams, announcing the general availability of the latest version of Teams 2.0 for Windows and Mac users.
Mark Vale, a U.K.-based unified communications architect, Microsoft Certified Trainer and Microsoft Teams voice expert/MVP, notes that partners work with various customers and ultimately have to switch between customers to collaborate on projects.
Callroute’s Mark Vale
“With the new Microsoft Teams, the tenant switching process is almost instant, making this process far more user-friendly than before,” Vale, who also is a director at Commsverse and chief product officer at Callroute, told Channel Futures.
In layman’s terms, the new version of Microsoft Teams is faster, according to Vale, who assures us that this translates to enhanced meeting join-and-call answering performance, saying it will “significantly improve, thanks to its 50% reduction in processing power.”
This is one of the many ways partners will feel the impact of the latest version of the popular app, which has more than 280 million monthly active users.
Oded Gal, former chief of product at Zoom, told us that the tool’s improved performance and efficiency within the client is the leading advantage of the new Microsoft Teams. Gal is an advisor, board member and investor to companies building solutions around the future of work.
According to Vale, the principal new focal point for partners is CoPilot for Teams and the entire CoPilot Microsoft 365 suite.
“It is brand-new, and we are all trying to figure out what it is, what problems it can solve, and how and where we can add value,” Vale told us.
CoPilot in Teams Phone gives partners access to another tool — generative AI capabilities. That means leveraging generative AI to enable call summaries and for Microsoft Teams to note what Vale calls “key information from the conversation,” including target dates and other verbal agreements made during a conversation.
“I think the opportunity will present itself more clearly in the next six months for partners, as there will be various areas of concern that customers [to learn], especially where AI gets granted access to customer data, and users can [see] the results of that data access,” Vale said.
Vale believes the functionality of the new Microsoft Teams, for example, will soon help employees find out how their manager feels about them, asking CoPilot things such as, “What does my manager think of me?”
“And with CoPilot having access to chats, meeting notes, transcriptions, and documents as part of its data training, it might provide an answer of, ‘It appears your manager is seeking ways to terminate your employment,’ Vale told us.
While an extreme example, Vale’s point revolves around how we oversee AI within the workplace. He said it is also about how we limit its access to data and how we make those results available to workers.
“This is where the partner can add value to the customer by understanding what CoPilot has access to and how that can get used most ethically by each customer,” Vale said.

Torque Solution Shifter Cable Bushings: Mitsubishi Evolution X 2008-09
Torque Solution continues to push the limits of high performance aftermarket products with our "NEW" Shock Factor Shifter Bushings. Developed to perform under the most extreme conditions, Shock Factor Shifter Bushings bridge the gap between ordinary aluminum, brass, and cheap plastics used in current aftermarket shifter bushings by offering a unique Delrin specifically chosen by Torque Solution engineers to ensure product performance and reliability while drastically reducing shifter end play allowing for crisper, more precise shifts. All this makes it easy for us to stand behind our shifter bushings with a Limited Lifetime Warranty.
- Street and track torture tested
- Installs in under 30 minutes
- Improved 60fts / e.t's
- Eliminates excessive Shifter play
- 2008-2009 Mitsubishi Evo X GSR
What's In The Box?
- (1) Shifter Bushing Kit
- Manufacturer Lifetime Warranty
Great quality and fits perfect
Had my oem one fly off going down the highway. Took like 15 minutes to instal and fixed the conmen problem!
A great cheap upgrade for your shifter. My old rubber bushings were absolutely destroyed. Didn’t really realize how much of a difference new bushing could make. Super easy to install. Literally a flat head and that’s it. Hugh upgraded imo from the rubber bushings
Definitely don’t have to worry about your shifter cable popping off after installing this. Nice solid piece.
My Shifter Cable kept popping off. So I picked this up to solve my issue. Definitely felt easier shifts and a lot less play. I picked the wrong one for my year model so I was only able to get one in. But still solved my issue. Definitely going to do the rest of my bushings so I can have even better shifting.

Sadly this has very little to do with Pizza (unless you’re eating pizza while reading this)!
Motorsport is an exhilarating and exciting pursuit and it can be great fun to capture images of the vehicles. The impressive machines and eye catching decals make for perfect photo fodder!
I took this shot at Castle Combe of a classic mini on the track, I’m happy with the composition, it's in focus and is bright and clear - the only thing is it appears to be parked, it definitely isn’t. This car was being skilfully piloted into a corner and wasn’t hanging about!
So instead how do we capture this action, speed and excitement? Read on...
I’ll get to the technical part in a moment!
Panning is all about technique and like so many techniques it's all in the hips! You need to follow the action - this part is quite easy as unless something very bad is happening then the action goes one way at a fairly consistent speed. You’ll also need to pick a background spot, this is usually directly opposite where you’re standing, have a good look round and make sure it's clean and uncluttered so as not to distract from your main subject.
The art of the pan is to follow the subject (in this case a car) and to capture your shot as you are still moving through an arc. Once you’ve gently squeezed the shutter keep moving with the subject to keep that appealing smooth blur, from left to right or vice versa. Sounds tricky but with a few practice goes you’ll (pardon the pun) be in full swing! A nice smooth consistent action is required for best results, and please don’t be disheartened it's a tricky shot to get right - but it's all the more satisfying when you get keepers!
Camera settings - your camera has lots of modes, the one that’s best deployed for this type of shot is TV or ‘shutter priority’. This is you telling the camera how long you want the shutter to stay open for - in a fully auto mode the camera will always strive to get you a pin sharp shot of the subject and fully freeze the action (these shots are fine) but a shot that shows the momentum will really pop!
I’ve crudely illustrated the technique in this diagram below - panning with the action right to left, slowly pressing the shutter button when the subject passes directly in front of you and continuing to follow the action through…
Practice really does make perfect and even the best of the best won't get a perfect image every time so keep at it - you can try different shutter speeds for alternate results too!
I hope this little guide is useful and we’d love to see some of your handiwork.

What if this form of transportation could make it easy to commute to work in a different city every day? You would no longer have to pay hefty airfares. You could also choose a more economical city to live in. Hyperloops can make that possible. Not only that, you would not have to wait long hours at a train station or airport to reach your destination. The term ‘hyperloop’ was first coined by Elon Musk in 2013 and is soon becoming a reality. Watch more in this TechDivision video.

AltoMaxx thanks Minister Andrew Parsons and the Govenment of Newfoundland and Labrador’s Department of Industry, Energy and Technology for providing funding towards our development of an Ultrasonic Thickness Measurement (UTM) Pneumatic Arm for Confined Space Inspection Drones.
Check back soon for more exciting information on this project!
Ultrasonic Thickness Measurement (UTM) Arm Development
This project will develop a pneumatic arm for mounting on a carbon fiber caged confined space drone. The RPAS will be capable of flying with the pneumatic arm in a retracted position or hovering with it in an extended position. Further, an UTM gauge mounted on the arm will be safely within the cage. Once the desired surface is reached, the RPAS hovers at a safe and constant distance from the surface and the pneumatic arm extends, allowing the UTM gauge to measure the targeted surface.

David Haye to make boxing comeback in January
Former world heavyweight champion David Haye has announced he is to return to the ring in January with a bout against Australian Mark de Mori at London's O2 Arena.
The 35-year-old Briton held a press conference at the venue on Tuesday to deliver the news of what is set to be his first fight since he beat compatriot Dereck Chisora in July 2012.
In 2013 Haye withdrew from proposed clashes against Manuel Charr and Tyson Fury due to injuries, with surgeons advising him following a shoulder operation on the latter occasion to seriously consider retiring.
But he refused to give up on a comeback which has now been scheduled for January 16 and will see him take on a man two years his junior in De Mori.
"I'm so happy to be able to step back through the ropes and back into the ring, where I do my best work," Haye said.
"I've always set the bar high in my career, and I will continue to do so. Please sit back and get ready for another fun-fuelled heavyweight campaign to the very top.
"It's been a long three-and-a-half years out, with many ups and downs, but The Hayemaker is finally back and ready to do what I do best.
"I've a new team, new look and new inspiration to achieve my goals."
It recently emerged Haye was linking up with trainer Shane McGuigan - son of Barry McGuigan - who also works with super-bantamweight world champion Carl Frampton.

“We are announcing a Rs 10 crore investment fund for mini app developers in this country. This means people who want to build mini apps on our platform will now have an equity investment. And these investment terms will be one of the most lenient investment terms you can expect,” Sharma said at a digital conference.
The platform will not charge the apps any listing fee to the mini app developers and is providing free payment avenues such as Paytm Wallet, Paytm Payments Bank and UPI. However, a two percent charge will be levied on credit cards.
Sharma has been very vocal against Google’s move to charge 30% commission. “Paytm Mini App store will bring 1 million apps before Google brings any charging obligation to Indian developers. Our target is to have 1 million apps by the first quarter of 2021,” he said.

What Caused the Texas Blackouts?
Climate advocates insist it wasn’t the wind.
Nearly a week after a generational winter storm barreled through Texas and other Southern states, warmer weather finally brought some welcome relief Saturday.
Fox News meteorologist Rick Reichmuth said temperatures in the south are “rising to typical levels or a few degrees above average by early week.”
“A major warm up is occurring, and temps will be in the 60s by [Sunday],” he said. “This will quickly melt the snow and ice and allow the clean up to begin.”
Despite a return to somewhat normal temperatures, the lone star state is just beginning to deal with the fallout from the storm, as millions are still on boil water notices and officials are working to restore power and clean water to residents.

TEXAS HOSPITALS DEALT WINTER WEATHER BLOW SCRAMBLE TO GET CLEAN WATER TO PATIENTS
President Joe Biden declared a major disaster for 77 of Texas’s 254 counties Saturday, which will make federal funding available to assist in the cleanup.
“While this partial approval is an important first step, Texas will continue to work with our federal partners to ensure all eligible Texans have access to the relief they need,” Texas Gov. Greg Abbott said Saturday.
Power was back on for most Texans Saturday as the Electric Reliability Council of Texas announced Friday that it was lifting emergency conditions and returning to normal operations.
Despite that, around 300,000 people were still without power in the south Saturday, most of them concentrated in Texas, Mississippi, and Louisiana.
TEXAS FACING WATER CRISIS, TEMPERATURES TO CLIMB AFTER STORMS, DEADLY DEEP FREEZE
Texans who did have power during the past week may face unexpectedly high electric bills as energy prices skyrocketed during the storm.

Biden says he plans to visit Texas next week, though the timing is uncertain.
“I had planned on being in Texas at the beginning of next week, but I don’t want to be a burden. When the president lands in any city in America, it has a long tail,” Biden said Friday. “If in fact it’s concluded I can do it without creating a burden, I plan on going.”

EU Care Strategy is a positive first step
The European Care Strategy unveiled today is an important step towards achieving the Social Pillar and improving care systems across Europe, for those who need care and carers alike.
The Party of European Socialists (PES) commends European Commissioner for Jobs and Social Rights Nicolas Schmit and European Commissioner for Equality Helena Dalli for their work – through the new strategy - to improve long-term care and early childhood education and care, and to strengthen gender equality and social fairness in care systems.
The PES wants to see more investment in care in Europe, and better conditions for both formal and informal carers, who are predominantly women.
PES President Sergei Stanishev said:
“I commend Commissioners Schmit and Dalli for bringing this new strategy forward. It has the potential to make a true difference to Europe’s care systems, changing the way governments and societies think about care.
“It is time that care was considered a social investment, a public service, at the core of our European social model. We saw in during the pandemic that quality public services are crucial to meet care needs in every Member State.”
Care work remains undervalued, underpaid and unequally distributed, with women shouldering the largest burden. The European Care Strategy contains measures to boost women’s employment and close the gender employment gap, which must be part of a holistic approach towards an economy of wellbeing, which recognises and values care through the provision of public services infrastructure and social protection policies, as set out in the 2020 PES Women publication ‘A feminist economy for Europe’.
The Strategy also dovetails with the new European Child Guarantee – a key progressive policy – by supporting the care provided to children. The PES stands in favour of free, quality, early childhood education and care available to all and has already put forward the European Child Guarantee as a tool to meet this objective in the EU. The foreseen revision of the Barcelona target can be an additional useful tool towards broader access to childcare across Europe.

Inspired by a nightmare I had a few months ago. I woke up in a cold sweat after dreaming of being in the same position as our protagonist here, Samir. I hadn't really thought about it any further, as my dream ended at about the same point as the first chapter.
Fifteen, twenty seconds, tops. That was all the time he had. To most, that short a time would pass in a flash. To him, sitting here, waiting, crouched in the corner of the room like a tiger ready to pounce, it felt like an eternity.
He watched the opposite corner of the large room closely. The candle had extinguished itself, the wick non-existent, and he had nothing to replace it with. The only light flickered low from his side of the room, shadows playing on the wall to his back. Daylight was still a half-hour away, and this candle would last. But the malevolent darkness forming on the far side of the room spoke of untold violence.
He hefted the cocked heavy metallic crossbow that rested gently in his lap, running a finger along the thick cable holding back the solid, gleaming black bolt. The texture of the braided steel reassured him. A bolt from this monster could pierce sheet metal at three hundred paces. From this range, it had nearly the force to demolish a concrete wall. He hoped it would be enough.
The seconds ticked away, with no regard to the anxiety he felt. A droplet of sweat beaded on his forehead, running down the deep furrows of his weathered face to drip off his chin. The sound of the tiny drop hitting the rickety wooden floor beneath his feet seemed to echo in the vacant space across the room.
Time, he thought to himself.
As if he had willed it, the darkness on the far side of the room thickened like acrid, oily smoke. Here it comes. He lifted the crossbow, ready. Thick as molasses, the shadows roiled as a piercing shriek broke the silence of the room, enough to sear his eardrums and make him want to drop his weapon and clap his rough hands to his ears.
Then it came.
A knotted and writhing form materialized from the darkness, and in a single motion leaped towards his position. He was ready for it, but it was always a shock to see them up close. A charred smell pervaded the air as tendrils of smoky blackness surrounded the man-sized form that flew through the air towards him.
Slowing down time in his mind, if not in reality, he carefully aimed and released the crossbow in a single, fluid motion. The bolt founds its mark, striking the leaper in the center of the forehead. The force of the impact reversed its motion and the now-dead creature landed heavily on the floorboards in the middle of the room. He let it remain there, unmoving. The fun wasn't over, yet.
He settled back into his corner, away from the pitch-like darkness of the other side of the room, shifting his weight back and forth to avoid cramping in his thighs. He eyed the withered corpse warily. They were predictable, at least, as dangerous as they were.
Much unlike their brethren in the streets, after dark.
The first of many, he thought to himself.
Another thirty minutes or so until the safety of daylight. Until then, the thick shutters remained closed and barred, the doors locked, and he remained ensconced in his corner, back to the wall. He tugged loose another bolt from his backpack and re-armed the crossbow with practiced grace.
At least the second candle would hold out long enough, he considered. This last hour before the dawn would be busy.

Tech's Jamal Golden On Paul Hornung Award Watch List
Defensive back, kick returner, punt returner among the nation's most versatile players
July 5, 2013
THE FLATS - Georgia Tech junior Jamal Golden, the only player in college football to rank in the top 10 nationally in both kickoff and punt return average last season, was named to the preseason watch list for the Paul Hornung Award, presented by Texas Roadhouse.
The Paul Hornung Award, now in its fourth season, is given annually to the most versatile player in major college football by the Louisville Sports Commission and football legend and Louisville native Paul Hornung.
Golden, one of six Atlantic Coast Conference players represented on the watch list, ranked sixth in punt returns (14.59) and 10th in kickoff return average (28.35) in 2012. The Yellow Jacket junior defensive back ran his way into the Tech record books when he returned two kickoffs for touchdowns - one against BYU and one at North Carolina. Prior to Golden's 100-yard return against BYU, Tech had gone 15 seasons without returning a kickoff for a touchdown.
Golden has been a versatile athlete since playing high school sports in Wetumpka, Ala., where he was a talented dual-threat quarterback. Since arriving at Georgia Tech, Golden has shown the ability to play safety, cornerback and nickel. For a short time he also played on the Yellow Jacket baseball team.
Golden's two kick returns for touchdowns last season tied a Georgia Tech record for season and career kick returns for TDs. His average of 28.3 yards per kick return rank third in Yellow Jacket single-season history.
"The Paul Hornung Award Watch List for the upcoming season is an impressive group of players who excel at multiple positions to help their teams win, which is how I played the game," Hornung said. "It will be interesting to see which players excel during the season and emerge as the top choices of our selection committee."
2013 Watch List Selections
The Louisville Sports Commission successfully launched the Paul Hornung Award in 2010 to honor its namesake and native son and to promote outstanding performances by versatile college football players that often go unnoticed. Owen Marecic of Stanford, a two-way starter and All Pac-10 performer at fullback and linebacker, won the inaugural Paul Hornung Award; Brandon Boykin of Georgia won the award in 2011 after excelling on defense, offense and special teams; Tavon Austin of West Virginia won the award in 2012 being one of two players in the nation with more than 500 yards in three different categories (rushing, receiving and kick returns).
The winner will be honored at the official Paul Hornung Award Banquet sponsored by KentuckyOne Health, held at the Galt House in downtown Louisville in late January 2014.

Car accidents can often leave victims with lasting injury, property damage, and trauma. If you or a loved one are injured in a car accident, hiring the right car accident lawyer to represent you can be instrumental in helping you get the compensation you rightfully deserve. A lawyer’s main goal will be to help you navigate the legal process and advocate for you to receive the best and most fair settlement in order to cover property damage and other expenses. Read this blog and speak with our dedicated Rockland County car accident lawyers to learn more.
How Will a Car Accident Lawyer Benefit My Case?
Lawyers wear many hats when it comes to taking on a car accident case. Specifics will vary as each case is unique, but the general scope of a lawyer’s abilities remains the same. Your attorney will evaluate and assess the circumstances of your case and advise you on the best course of action to proceed with your claim. This may include communicating with your insurer and the other driver’s insurer, collecting relevant information and evidence concerning the accident, representing you in court, and negotiating a suitable settlement.
Communicating with the other party’s insurance provider is necessary in any personal injury case, especially car accidents. A seasoned attorney will understand insurance processes and regulations so they will be able to handle negotiations with all insurance companies involved.
Evidence is the most important aspect of any case, and a good lawyer will obtain, organize, and use any and all relevant evidence to settle your case favorably. Evidence may include photographs from the accident, police reports, witness testimony, medical records and bills, and any additional information that will aid in proving liability. An attorney has been trained to deal with personal injury cases and has the experience needed to make this a pain-free process so you can worry less and focus on recovering.
If the case goes to court your lawyer will be able to represent you and fight for fair compensation. It is important to have a good lawyer representing you in court as your compensation can be used to cover medical bills related to the accident, property damage, lost income, pain and suffering, and more.
How Long After My Accident Do I Have to File a Personal Injury Claim?
Deadlines for filing claims vary from state to state. In New York, multiple specific deadlines must be met in order to file. The following reports generally must be filed in these time constraints post-accident:
- Accident report: 10 days
- No-fault claim: 30 days
- Disability (NY): 30 days
- Claim against another driver: as soon as possible
- Claims with MVAIC (Motor Vehicle Accident Indemnification Corporation): 90 days
- Lawsuit: 3 years (may be shorter depending on individual circumstances)
Depending on the specifics of your case, these time frames may vary. If you’re feeling overwhelmed at the prospect of missing a deadline, hiring an attorney will cut out the guesswork and allow an experienced professional to ensure that your case meets all the legal requirements and results in the best possible outcome for you and your family.
