If you find yourself in the West Island searching for a warm, tasty pick-me-up on a cold night, look no farther than Tandoori Taste. One bite of their onion naan and you’ll be a believer.
In a quiet strip mall at 6878 des Sources in D.D.O., Tandoori Taste offers traditional Indian food for a price that will leave your wallet just as happy as your stomach.
Appetizers are $2.95 (soups) to $7.95 and main courses range from $10-$12. Their daily lunch buffet is only $8.99. Tandoori Taste’s menu contains traditional Indian staples including chicken tika, butter chicken, and regular and stuffed naan bread.
We started our meal with a pair of mango lassis, a popular Indian drink made from mango pulp and yogurt with a thick, creamy texture.
The mixed grill appetizer was a huge hit. A sizzling platter of lamb, shrimp, two types of chicken and mixed vegetables, it’s a sin not to order this appetizer.
The chicken tika and tandoori chicken stood out. Both were cooked to perfection—tender and juicy with distinctive spice combinations.
The shrimp and lamb were also tasty. The lamb was particularly earthy and meaty, with a sharper spice that contrasted nicely with both the chicken and the grilled vegetables in the dish.
The fish pankor may have been the highlight of the meal. Deep-fried to perfection, the golden brown balls of flaky white fish fell apart after each bite and were spiced just enough to take it from fancy fish sticks to killer appetizer.
A polite, smiling server was always there to answer our questions and fill our water glasses. Eating Indian food, that kind of water service was vital.
Next came butter chicken, vegetable korma and veggie lamb. The lamb was the most interesting of the dishes, and is part of Tandoori Taste’s menu of meat alternatives. This side menu offers traditional Indian dishes made with veggie-friendly tofu.
While this dish tasted like lamb, the lack of complexity in the spicing made it hard to eat more than a few bites.
The butter chicken was my favourite, with its rich, buttery sauce warming the taste buds in a way only butter and cream can. The vegetable korma had a slightly different seasoning that allowed it to shine.
Rice and naan accompanied the main dishes. The basmati rice offered little more than a canvas for the main courses, but did its job admirably. The naan was crunchy on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside.
Dinner finished on a sweet note with Indian-style ice cream on a stick. Made with milk, cream and flavouring, these little desert popsicles calmed our palates after the heat of the meal.
Tandoori Taste is a “come hungry, leave happy” restaurant. You can even bring that crazy vegetarian cousin.

Diario Judío México - Ecuador President Rafael Correa has been left needing medical treatment after being injured in protests led by members of his security forces.
Police angered at plans to limit their pay have burned tyres in the streets of Quito, while witnesses described seeing looting across the city.
Scores of soldiers swarmed over the landing strip of the international airport in the capital to quell the trouble.
All international flights have been cancelled after troops exerted a shutdown in confused and chaotic scenes.
The President was hurt as he took to the streets in an attempt to quell the trouble in the capital.
Mr Correa has become a figure of hatred as he considers drastic action while battling members of his own party in a deadlocked Congress.
The left-wing leader is believed to be planning to dissolve the legislature after his proposals aimed at slashing state costs were blocked.
The move, which adheres to the updated constitution passed only two years ago, would allow him to rule by decree until new presidential and parliamentary elections can be held.
Although unrest and political instability are common within the country, they are the first President Correa has faced since taking power.
Workers and school children in the city of Guayaquil were also sent home during the trouble, which the country’s foreign minster claimed was orchestrated by “ill-informed” police.
Street protests toppled three presidents during economic turmoil in the decade before he assumed office.

text: Meiotic DSBs. These proteins show a comparable temporal and spatial pattern of localization to meiotic chromosomes. The localization of both proteins is also extended to a equivalent extent in mutants that disrupt crossover formation. In mutants where the localization of both DSB-1 and DSB-2 was assayed simultaneously, at the same time as in wild-type animals, the proteins localize for the exact same subset of meiotic nuclei, except that DSB-1 seems slightly earlier, suggesting that they’re co-regulated. Nevertheless, these proteins look unlikely to act as a complex, considering the fact that they show tiny if any colocalization. Though DSB-1 and DSB-2 appear to play similar roles in meiotic DSB formation, the severity of their mutant phenotypes are not equivalent. As shown by Rosu et al., DSBs are decreased but not eliminated in young dsb-2 mutant hermaphrodites , although dsb-1 mutants lack DSBs irrespective of age. The less extreme defects observed in young dsb-2 mutants probably reflect the presence of substantial residual DSB-1 protein on meiotic chromosomes in dsb2 mutants, whereas DSB-2 is just not detected on chromosomes in dsb1 mutants, and protein levels are severely lowered. DSB-1 appears to stabilize DSB-2, maybe by advertising its association with chromosomes, and to a lesser extent is reciprocally stabilized/ reinforced by DSB-2. The CHK-2 kinase promotes the chromosomal association of DSB-1. CHK-2 can also be expected for DSB-2 localization on meiotic chromosomes , although it is not clear no matter whether CHK-2 promotes DSB-2 loading straight, or indirectly via its function in the loading of DSB-1. Our findings recommend a model in which DSB1 and DSB-2 mutually market every other’s expression, stability, and/or localization, with DSB-2 depending far more strongly on DSB-1, to promote DSB formation (Figure 10C). The amount of websites of DSB-1 and DSB-2 localization per nucleus too numerous to quantify in diffraction-limited photos appears to greatly exceed the number of DSBs, estimates of which have ranged from 12 to 75 per nucleus [65,76,77]. DSB-1 and DSB-2 could each and every bind to web sites of prospective DSBs, with only a subset of these sites undergoing DSB formation, possibly where they occur to coincide. They could also be serving as scaffolds to recruit other components needed for DSB formation to meiotic chromosomes and/or to promote their functional interaction. This thought is at the moment tough to test, considering that we have not yet been in a position to detect chromosomal association of SPO-11 in C. elegans, and no other proteins especially expected for DSBs happen to be identified. Alternatively, these proteins may influence DSB formation by modifying Catalase Inhibitors products chromosome structure. We did not observe overt changes in chromosome morphology in dsb-1 mutants, but further evaluation e.g., mapping of histone modifications might be essential to uncover a lot more subtle alterations.A Crossover Assurance Checkpoint Mechanism That Regulates DSB FormationDSBs commonly occur inside a discrete time window during early meiotic prophase. In C. elegans this 1-Methylpyrrolidine Autophagy corresponds for the transition zone and early pachytene, primarily based on RAD-51 localization. As DSB-1 is necessary for DSB formation, and its appearance on meiotic chromosomes coincides with all the timing of DSBs, we infer that the chromosomal localization of DSB-1 is indicative of a regulatory state permissive for DSB formation. We observed that when crossover formation is disrupted, this DSB-1-positive region is extended. Rosu et al. report a related extension of DSB-2 in crossover-defective mutants .

Final Torbay Festival of Poetry
All good things have to come to an end, and we at the Torbay Poetry Festival Committee felt the end had come when our application for Arts Council funding was refused. Over the past eighteen years the Arts Council has funded our Festival, enabling us to have grown from three days to the five-day celebrations we have held latterly. Many have described Torbay as the friendliest festival in Britain, and we thank the Arts Council for enabling us to achieve this enviable accolade progressively over the years. Many of our regulars were disappointed when we announced we were calling it a day, to the extent that one anonymous patron has now matched the lost Arts Council grant pound for pound that we may continue for one last glorious year! This, with pledges from many other Festival enthusiasts, has enabled us to present our final Festival this October. Thank you for your overwhelming support.
We have been able to listen to Poets’ Laureate Carol Ann Duffy and Gillian Clarke, well-known poets like Brian Patten, Roger McGough and Wendy Cope, much-loved poets like Danny Abse and Ken Smith, U.A. Fanthorpe and Rosie Bailey, prize-winning poets like Penelope Shuttle and Elaine Feinstein, young poets like Helen Mort and James Potts, too-many-to-mention other poets, many new to reading at festivals. Over the years we have always been open to introducing some lesser-known names to our audiences, and in this, our Farewell Festival will be no different.
With eighteen events featuring twenty poets we have a full weekend planned, starting this year on the Friday evening. The programme includes readings, workshops, and a presentation on the life and work of John Betjeman. There will be plenty of opportunity to meet, question and discuss their work with individual poets in the relaxed atmosphere of the Livermead Cliff Hotel. There is much variety in this year’s programme. The subject for the Festival Challenge will be announced at the Friday evening event. Visitors to the Festival enjoy the convivial atmosphere of the Hotel, with its stunning views of the sea and Torquay. Torbay is famous for sunshine … it now also has a reputation for fine poetry.
Join us for a final celebration.
ALL EVENTS WILL TAKE PLACE IN THE LIVERMEAD CLIFF HOTEL, SEA FRONT, TORQUAY, TQ2 6RO.
Free car parking is available at the hotel and comprehensive disabled access.
Festival Challenge – throughout the Weekend culminating in the Festival Challenge Reading on Sunday 20th October
4.15pm – 4.45pm for reading poems
Results at approx. 5.45pm. FREE EVENT
Enter your poem on this year’s theme, then read it at our impromptu competition.
Entry fee one pound. The theme will be displayed on the Festival Notice Board.
Small prizes, but large applause!
Chaired by Danielle Hope / David Perman
ON THE SPOT
Sat – Sun 11.45am – 12.15pm
While on the bookstall, John and Brenda
often wondered why a poet wrote a
particular poem. Now poets are going to
be ‘Put on the Spot’ and asked why, with no previous
knowledge of which poem will be chosen.
Sat – Sun 12.40pm – 1.40pm
Chair: Brenda Hutchings.
Poets limited to one six-minute slot per festival.
Put your name in the box on the Book Table
during the morning. At 11.30am nine names
will be drawn and put on a list with a time slot.
A limited menu of pre-ordered light lunches
will be served at tables in the Function Room.
Stagecoach South West runs the bus services in Torbay. Just to say that if your train arrives late at Newton Abbot and you miss your connection, the bus service from outside the station runs every 10 minutes during the week and 15 minutes on Sunday right to the Livermead Cliff Hotel. The journey is around 40 minutes. The journey by train is around 15 minutes to Torquay station plus a ten minute walk or taxi fare to the hotel. Hope this information helps you to decide how to continue your journey if you have the misfortune to miss your connection.

Online casino offers a wide variety of games that players can play for real money. Some of these include classic slots, video poker, roulette, blackjack and craps. Some of these casinos also offer a variety of different bonus features for their players. Some of these bonus features are progressive jackpots, free spin bonuses, and loyalty rewards. All of these bonuses are designed to attract new customers and reward loyal ones.
Some of these casinos are also regulated by a gaming commission, which helps to ensure that they will be fair and responsible with their payouts. They also regularly test their games to ensure that they are working correctly and providing random results. This is good for the player because it means that the casino cannot rig games.
Another great thing about online casino is that players can use a variety of different deposit and withdrawal methods. They can use a credit card, a prepaid card, or a bank wire transfer. This makes it easy for almost anyone to get started playing. And if they want to stop playing, they can just cancel their account.
Most online casinos will offer a welcome bonus for new players. This bonus will usually be a match of the amount that a player deposits when they first sign up. This way, the new player can try out the casino without spending any of their own money. This also gives the casino a chance to see if they can entice new players to keep playing with them.
The casino industry is a competitive one, and most of the best online casinos are constantly coming up with ways to improve their offerings. For example, a new slot machine may be introduced, or a new version of a table game may be offered. In addition, these sites may offer a loyalty bonus to their existing customers. This can be in the form of additional money, credits, tournament tickets or merchandise.
Casino gaming is a fun and exciting way to pass the time, and it can be even more enjoyable when you play with friends or family members. Online casinos allow you to play your favorite games anytime, anywhere, and they are a convenient way to gamble in a safe environment. These sites are regulated by the same authorities that govern land-based casinos, and they follow strict responsible gambling and player protection guidelines.
A great online casino site will have a wide selection of casino games, sports betting and more. It will also have a user-friendly interface and mobile app that make it simple to use on the go. In addition, the casino should have a high RTP percentage to make it profitable for its customers. The games should also be tested by an independent organization for fairness and reliability. In addition, the casino should provide details on its licensing, so you can be sure that it is a legitimate operation. It is best to stick with well-known brands that are licensed in your state.

BRUSSELS — The new headquarters of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization — a massive, state-of-the-art facility that cost more than a billion euros to build — was designed to help the military alliance step boldly into the future.
VATICAN CITY — Handshakes, gifts, friendly small talk and big hopes for peace. Setting aside past differences and rude comments aside, President Donald Trump and Pope Francis put a determinedly positive face on their first meeting Wednesday at the Vatican.
WASHINGTON — Candidate Donald Trump promised better and more affordable health care, but as president his first full budget calls for deep cuts to popular insurance programs. And it omits any proposal for negotiating prescription drug prices, a frequent Trump talking point.
WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump sent Congress his recommended budget for the coming fiscal year. It includes steep cuts to many programs relied on by the poor, such as Medicaid and food stamps, and greater spending on the military.

To Remember 2 : The Call ( Hoodie X Reader )...
(Welcome back to the "To Remember" series, where I put my own terrifying twist on X Reader stories. X Reader stories are supposed to be romantic and stuff, but romance is common. And I am definately not common. Same series, same story, different themed....?)
You just woke up from a coma. Everything is blurry and confusing to you. And you keep seeing him, everywhere you go. Your potential killer. The man from the party, Hoodie. As far as the police know, you can't remember anything. But you remember it all too well.
No time for that, though. Something in the woods keeps calling you back. Enchanting, haunting, horrifying.

The bank, the furnace and the flats
Sheffield’s heritage will blend with a modern day tower block after councillors backed plans for city centre flats to be built around a historic furnace.
The former HSBC building on Hoyle Street will be demolished to make way for 658 student bed spaces and 247 residential units.
A key part of the development will be the preservation of a cementation furnace on the site. This dates back to when the site housed steelworks and the furnace is now noted as a Scheduled Ancient Monument and Grade II listed building.

A Few Comments On Credit Repair Companies
Over the past fifteen years or so, many "Credit
Repair Companies" or "Credit Clinics" have opened up across the nation.
Their main purpose is to help the individual remove incorrect and negative
items from their credit report. Unfortunately, some of these outfits are
scams from the word "GO" and have given the whole industry a bad name. They
take the consumer's money and then tell them it will take month s to get
results, then disappear without a trace. With the information we have
provided you with here, you have no need to take that chance. If, however,
you decide to hire one of these companies, check them out!
First, if the sales person or company uses the word
"Guarantee" or "Delete", Run and don't look back! There is no way to
"Guarantee" that ANYTHING will be removed from the credit report! Think
about it for a minute. Unless he or she is going to "hack" into the credit
bureau's computer, how can he guarantee anything? The Clinic is NOT the one
that "deletes" the information!
Ask to see their license, get a copy of it, and then
contact your State's Secretary of State to make sure that the company has
obtained and maintained the necessary license and/or bond. In the State of
Nebraska all companies, organizations, or individuals that provide credit
services MUST (with NO exceptions) obtain a "Credit Services Organization
License". If they charge a fee BEFORE they provide the services they
promise, they MUST also maintain a $100,000 Surety Bond for TWO YEARS after
they cease doing business in the state. While you are on the phone with the
Secretary of State's office, ask if there have been any unresolved
complaints against the company. Find out how long they have had their
license as well.
There have been a number of credit clinics that
guarantee to remove any derogatory items from consumer's credit report.
Contact the Attorney General's office in your state
as well, see if there have been any complaints and find out if they are
under any kind of investigation. The Better Business Bureau is also another
good organization to check. My company wasn't just LISTED with the BBB, we
where actually members of the organization as well.

Meditation is an exercise in paying attention.
Attention to your thoughts, to your emotions and to anything else that goes on in your head and in your body. Pay attention to these seemingly unimportant little things, and you will gain something amazingly valuable.
Something that will change your life…
You may not know it – because this happens gradually, sneakily even. But you’ve been giving away your power for years. By living and responding based on old habits and social programming.
Awareness gives you back the power that is rightfully yours.
Only when you’re aware, you can make conscious decisions. Only then, you’re the one at the wheel. Only then, you exercise your free will: a divine gift from your Creator. The power to create your own life, your own reality.
But what exactly is this awareness thing?
American news anchor Dan Harris (of all people) said it best:
“The ability to see what’s going on in your head at any given moment without reacting to it blindly […] is a superpower.”
(here’s the source of that quote)
Awareness – you could call it mindfulness as well – means you become your own observer. Instead of being a mindless victim of your habits, urges and reflexes, you see and hear your thoughts and feelings for what they are: a product of your mind. You see what they’re doing to you. What they’re trying to make you do – or not do.
You then have the conscious choice to go along with them, or to make another decision. One that you feel might create a better result for you.
Do you sense what a tremendous superpower awareness can be? We’ll talk more about this in other posts, but for now let’s move on to more practical matters, shall we?
How to train your awareness muscles
I know. Awareness comes relatively easy when you’re in a relaxed, meditative mood. But how about the rest of your busy, hectic day?
Being aware when it matters most, that takes practice. And lots of it. That’s the bad news I’m afraid.
The good news though is that you don’t need superhuman willpower or a heroic amount of effort. Awareness is best and most easily developed through small steps.
Want some good first steps?
- Pay attention to your breath. Just close your eyes and check what it feels like when you breathe. Can you feel the air rush in and out of your nose? How about the movement of your lungs? Are you breathing high up in your chest, or can you make your belly move gently as you breathe? See the next instalment in this A to Z of Meditation for more goodness about breathing.
How is paying attention to your breath going to grow your awareness? Breathing is something you do automatically, without thinking about it. All of its sensations slip under your mental radar. Unless you have a cold of course.
A lot of your thoughts and emotions go unnoticed in much the same way. By learning to pay attention to the subtleties of your breath, you’ll have taught yourself the skill needed to take the next step: quietly observing your mind and its workings.
- Find your triggers. Next time you find yourself failing at being aware and making conscious decisions, don’t be too hard on yourself. Do some backtracking afterwards. See if you can trace what caused you to deviate from your awareness state. Which specific detail triggered it?
Being aware of your triggers is a major step towards reclaiming your power. The next step is to spot them as soon as they rear their ugly heads.
- Seed your life with reminders. After you’ve traced some of your triggers, you need to build an early warning system. Try to spread visible clues in your home, your workplace, your wallet, your bag, or even on the screen of your smartphone. It could be a small note, or some silly little object that only you know the secret meaning of. Anything to instantly remind you when temptation is lurking around the corner.
Give birth to your awareness
Becoming aware and mindful is a learning process. Know what that means? It’s okay to make mistakes! In fact, making mistakes might even allow you to find your personal triggers faster than if you were to rack your brain for them.
So give yourself some love as you go along. The person you are today is a little bit more aware than who you were yesterday. One day you will look back and discover that you have renewed yourself completely.

Pretty standard for the money,shower was good!
We were not in the main hotel but in the apartment building behind.
The view of the Thames from our balcony was excellent. Our room was in very good condition and the bathroom was clean and well serviced with towels and toiletries etc. The shower was good and the water was always hot when you needed it. The only slight disappointment was that our room must have had the carpets cleaned prior to our arriving. The carpet was still damp which caused a lot of condensation on the room windows. Fortunately the temperature was good for November so we could leave the balcony door open to help keep condensation down.
feedback on Thames Riviera Hotel
Excellent in every respect.
My room was immaculately presented with added bonus of a river view. The buffet breakfast was tasty with a good selection of hot and cold food. The staff were polite and accommodating. The location of the hotel is well placed for airport connection or tourist travel to Windsor etc. The car park does fill up quickly but there is the option of the overspill carpark situated round the corner. I enjoyed my stay very much and would like the opportunity to visit again soon.
Inaudible receptionist - But a good stay
Generally excellent apart from the receptionist who spoke almost inaudibly.
She also tried to explain (very quietly!) how my credit card 'guaranteed payment' would work - rather unsuccessfully I'm afraid. I'm not sure she totally understood the system herself, so be aware there are potential hazards. All in all a good stay - very comfortable, very quiet and good value for money.

For my purposes a clean, comfortable, friendly hotel with good facilities and close to the town for those more adventurous.
Have stayed before and will do so again.
A nights stayover for Legoland
A great hotel, central, yet peacefully set on the river.
We stayed with our 2 children (5&9) enroute to Legoland. There is parking, staff are efficient and curteous, the food was good & a childrens menu. Room was tastefully furnished with lovely views of the river. One small negative is the sofa bed was a little uncomfortable for 2 and mattress is thin, but okay for 1 night. Everything else was excellent value for money and we wished we were staying for longer. Thank you Thames Riviera Hotel.
Service good, particularly in the restaurant, but disappointed not to be given prior warning that the restaurant was full on Saturday night due to a function.
We would have made other dining arrangements had we known.
Room clean, but smelt musty. Evening food quality good, but buffet breakfast disappointing.
Riviera is a very nice hotel, friendly staff.
Rooms are nice, tidy and warm and some rooms have a lovely view of the river.
The only complaint about this hotel was the luke-warm cooked breakfast from the buffet on the Sunday morning that I was there.

Pfizer has agreed to buy NextWave Pharmaceuticals for $680m in a deal that would bring it a franchise in drugs to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
The pharma giant took a $20m option to merge with NextWave earlier this year and has now followed that up with a full acquisition offer of $255m, plus sales milestones of up to $425m. Pfizer said the transaction is expected to close later this year.
The primary asset held by NextWave is Quillivant XR (methylphenidate HCl), an extended-release ADHD drug in a child-friendly liquid formulation that can be given just once a day before school.
The product fills a void in ADHD treatment as it provides an alternative to tablets or capsules for patients who have difficulty taking them, but also provides cover for the entire day with a single dose, thereby avoiding any stigma that may be associated with taking medicines in school.
The product was developed in partnership with drug delivery specialist Tris Pharma and has just been granted marketing approval in the US, with NextWave holding exclusive marketing rights in North America.
Quillivant XR's clinical profile should help it make inroads into a global ADHD market estimated to be worth around $4bn and growing at 8 per cent a year, according to GlobalData estimates.
The market in the US has been dominated for some time by Shire - with products such as Daytrana (methylphenidate; now divested to Noven Pharma), Vyvanse (lisdexamfetamine) and Intuniv (guanfacine) - and Johnson & Johnson with its Concerta (methylphenidate) product.
Generic versions of older ADHD drugs such as Shire's Adderall XR (mixed amphetamine salts) are starting to change the dynamics of the market, however. Meanwhile, with even second-generation therapies such as Concerta now facing patent expiry, newer products will need clear advantages - as well as marketing muscle - to differentiate themselves in the marketplace.
In addition to Quillivant XR, NextWave is developing a chewable tablet formulation of methylphenidate - codenamed NWP09 - that is due to be filed for approval in 2013.


New Dunkin’ Donuts Ad Is Creepy And Racist
A new Dunkin’ Donuts ad campaign is being accused of being racist by a human rights group. They say the ads pushing the new “charcoal donut” is both “bizarre and racist.” The ads are currently on display in Thailand in cities like Bangkok and feature a woman in blackface.
Why are some finding the new Dunkin Donuts ad to be so offensive? The poster-size ads feature a woman with bright pink lips, the rest of her skin covered in dark black makeup while holding the new charcoal donut. The blackfaced woman is also shown in TV ads, sporting a hairstyle from the 1950s and a slogan telling viewers to “break every rule of deliciousness.”
The question, then, is maybe not whether or not the ads are racist, but how did such the strange Dunkin’ Donuts ad get approval for public use? According to NBC News, Thailand’s Dunkin’ Donuts branch operates independently from their US counterpart. Apparently initial claims of racism were dismissed by the head of Thai operations, Nadim Salhani, as “paranoid American thinking.”
The LA Times says Salhani believes these claims of racism to be “absolutely ridiculous.” He said, “We’re not allowed to use black to promote our doughnuts? I don’t get it. What’s the big fuss?” Apparently the ad campaign features Salhani’s daughter, the actress covered in black makeup.
Apparently Human Rights Watch does not agree with Salhani. In a public statement, the international rights group said that they were puzzled by the release of advertisements which would be met with outrage in the US. However, after mounting pressure to remove the offensive advertisements, Dunkin’ Donuts’ US branch officially apologized to the public. They say they are doing everything they can to get their Thai branch to get rid of the racist ads.
Thailand has become known in recent times for use of rather blatantly racist advertisements, ranging from Hitler-branded shirts to a cleaning product brand known as “Black Man.”
What do you think? Are these clearly racist ads meant to be malicious? Or are these recent Dunkin’ Donut ads the result of careless, but not forgivable, racism — possibly even a strange cultural misunderstanding?

An Australian research team aims to develop next-generation hemp genetics through a grant awarded by the Australian Research Council (ARC).
Rachel Burton, from the University of Adelaide’s School of Agriculture, Food and Wine, received the AU$513,272 (~€320,000; ~$380,000) grant to support an initiative that will probe the potential for new hemp grain varieties. The group said it intends to develop varieties for grain production that will be strong oil producers, drought resistant and express minimum THC levels.
The Australian Hemp and Seed Company is a partner in the project, “Pioneering seed solutions for the industrial hemp industry,” which is supported by the university’s Waite Research Institute.
The grant, from ARC’s Linkage Program, is among those given the university to undertake research on projects in the meat, hemp, mining and performing arts industries. ARC’s Linkage Program is designed to advance partnerships among researchers and industry, community organizations and other publicly funded research agencies.

Indianapolis Colts coach Frank Reich tests positive for COVID-19 despite being vaccinated
Indianapolis Colts coach Frank Reich has tested positive for COVID-19 despite being vaccinated. Since NFL personnel returned to work last month, four players and 13 staffers have tested positive for COVID despite being vaccinated, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter. The league and the union are also at odds over the use of wristbands to identity unvaccinated players. The NFL is allowing clubs to make players wear bright-colored wristbands, which the NFLPA believes is unnecessary. Although Reich will be physically away from the Colts, he will still be involved in meetings through Zoom and will remain in contact with players and staff. The team is not going to name an interim coach. Special teams coordinator Bubba Ventrone will handle things in practice because he has more time, but he will get help from offensive coordinator Marcus Brady and defensive coordinator Matt Eberflus.
NFL allowing some unvaccinated players to unmask at outdoor practices The league also loosened restrictions on what those cohabitants can do after practices. They now are allowed to join players and all Tier 1 and Tier 2 personnel -- those who deal directly with players -- on the field. Outdoor social events are permitted at the facility, with some restrictions.
Tennessee Titans coach Mike Vrabel tests positive for COVID-19 The news comes after the Titans spent last week taking part in joint practices with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers before facing them in Week 2 of the preseason. Vrabel said he will get retested Monday. He is currently in quarantine and following protocols.

Undefeated super lightweight prospects are set to square off as Chicago’s Eddie Ramirez (13-0, 9 KOs) takes on Los Angeles-native Kevin Watts (11-0, 4 KOs) in the eight-round main event of Premier Boxing Champions Toe to Toe Tuesdays September 13 from Robinson Rancheria Resort and Casino in Nice, California.
Televised coverage begins at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT and will feature exciting undercard bouts that will be announced shortly.
“It feels good to be fighting in my first main event,” said Ramirez. “I look at it as more motivation to keep working hard. I’m going to go in there and feel my opponent out and just push him every round. I go into every fight ready for a battle and I expect that on September 27.”
“I’m ready for another chance to show that I’m a world class fighter,” said Watts. “Eddie Ramirez is a solid prospect who hasn’t lost yet, but I’m going to be well prepared for victory on September 13.”
A Chicago Golden Gloves champion, Ramirez knocked out seven of his first nine professional opponents and picked up five victories in 2015 including a decision over former world champion Cristobal Cruz. The 23-year-old debuted in 2016 with a second round stoppage of Osumanu Akaba in April.
Born in Lancaster, California but fighting out of Los Angeles, Watts turned pro in 2013 and has been unblemished since. The 24-year-old defeated previously unbeaten Maximilliano Becerra in April 2015 and in his last two outings he took down once-beaten fighters Michal Chudecki and Manuel Damairias Lopez.


We can all see popular music changing. I grew up listening to guitar centric music (I'm guessing a lot of us here did also). Guitar driven music seems to be dominated by older bands. What's "new" (or newish) that's guitar-centric and you really like? Where's the list of bands that you have to hear? I love my playlist(s), but I'm TIRED of my playlist(s). Let's hear some suggestions!!!

Deciding between Manly Beach and Byron Bay for your next family beach vacation? While we might have some obvious loyalties, we’re still game for a fair fight. So, here it is – the match you’ve been waiting for!
When aiming for a fun family vacation with the kids, nothing is worse than running out of activities midweek, causing loud protests of boredom, and you to tear your hair out. However, vacations are a time for you to relax as well, and if there’s limited amounts of that going on, you’ll end up back at work as high strung as when you left!
So, what are we looking for in a perfect beach vacation, then?
- Affordable and conveniently located accommodation
- A beautiful beach for you to lounge on, while the kiddies play
- Multiple sightseeing areas and activities to occupy everyone during the day
- Fabulous food at your fingertips
- New places to discover if you’d like a bit of a scenery change from your beach chair.
ROUND ONE: Location, location, location.
Manly Beach is located 1hr by bus/car, or 45m by beautiful ferry ride from Sydney CBD. It’s convenient location gives both a secluded, holiday resort feel while in the heart of Manly, placing it right on the beach, and near many restaurants and shops, as well as being closely located to Sydney City for a more hustle and bustle, sightseeing experience.
Public transport is readily available around Manly and to/from the CBD, consisting of buses, trains and ferries. Many restaurants and activity spots are also located within walking distance!
Byron Bay is located in the far north corner of NSW, and boasts many beautiful beaches. While it’s location hits the mark when it comes to a secluded, beach vacation, it’s seclusion may also be to it’s detriment if a faster paced scenery change is needed. Many restaurants surround the common holiday areas of Byron Bay, as well as national parks and activity related locations as you go further out. However, public transportation is nowhere to be seen, and a car would be required to find your way around.
Round One Winner: Manly Beach.
Check back for the other rounds, and the final score!!

The coordinated coexistence of WLANs and WPANs in a dual-mode network is a recently introduced idea and is expected to increase the overall system performance by allowing for the efficient cooperation of both WLANs and WPANs. Topology control (e.g., power control, smart antennas, and different frequency channels) needs to be employed to allow for the simultaneous operation of both modes. In this paper, different frequency channels that allow for high data rates within a small transmission range are considered in order to create multiple WPAN environments inside a WLAN cell. The latter environment requires the support of a second mode of operation which introduces additional overhead that may degrade the overall system performance. Certain conditions, under which system performance improvement is achievable, are established here. In particular, an analytical mobility model for WPAN environments is proposed and employed in the analytical studies. It is shown that the system may be effective when node mobility is low and the traffic load among nodes is high. The corresponding upper and lower bounds on mobility and traffic are also analytically derived. Simulation results for a variety of scenarios support the claims and expectations of the aforementioned analysis and demonstrate that performance improvement is possible when WLANs and WPANs coexist and cooperate in a network. 2006 Elsevier B.V.

In September 2008 I went to Hamburg, Germany, for the Red Bull Cliff Diving event, which was at three different locations over four days. The first spot was Speicherstadt, the largest warehouse complex in the world, built on oak pile foundations.
It wasn’t easy to get permission to shoot there because the buildings are protected as they are historically important. For a safe dive the organizers needed to dig out a bit of the canal bed to get the four meters of water the divers needed for the high dives. We had just one hour of high tide to get as many shots as possible.
I used 2 cameras, one overhead above the platform connected with flashes, and the second on the opposite bank for the sequences. Just before the session was over I changed my position to a bridge over the canal to get this angle. It was 4pm and I shot against the sun. Because of the bad light conditions I decided to shoot in HDR to get more information in the picture. In order to avoid the typical HDR look, I manually put the five single exposures together.

Kim Jong Un was Wednesday “re-elected” as North Korea's leader, state media said, as parliament met in a session closely watched for power shifts in the secretive regime following the shock execution of his once-powerful uncle.
North Korea may have temporarily shut down a plutonium reactor earlier this year as it wrestled with water supply problems that could threaten the safety of its nuclear complex, a U.S. research institute said Monday.
South Korea and Australia signed a free trade deal Tuesday which will scrap almost all tariffs within a decade while immediately lifting levies on some key exports, including South Korean cars and Australian wine.
South Korean President Park Geun-hye called Monday for tighter vigilance against North Korea, days after its leader Kim Jong Un warned of a “very grave situation” on the peninsula.
Key economic indicators seem to point toward Korea making a solid recovery.
North Korea on Friday accused the United States of being “hell-bent on regime change” and warned that any maneuvers with that intention will be viewed as a “red line” that will result in countermeasures.
South Korean experts say two small drones believed to have been flown across the border by the North amid rising military tensions were crude and decidedly low-tech — equipped with cameras available on the Internet for hundreds of dollars — but underscore a potential new threat that must be taken seriously.
South Korea said Friday it had successfully test-fired a new ballistic missile capable of carrying a one-tonne payload to any part of North Korea.
South Korean President Park Geun-hye's claim that reunification with North Korea could trigger an economic “bonanza” has been greeted with widespread skepticism — though not necessarily within the legal profession.
North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has warned of a “very grave” situation on the Korean peninsula, where a surge in military tensions has seen the two Koreas trade artillery fire and Pyongyang threaten a new nuclear test.

UT Extension Launches Program to Advance Row Crop Farming Operations
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. – Cotton, corn, soybeans, wheat. These row crops make up the bulk of row crop agriculture across Tennessee and a new certification from University of Tennessee Extension is now available for row crop producers.
The Tennessee Master Row Crop certification program, which launched January 4, 2021, is an educational program designed to further improve the profitability and sustainability of today’s row crop farming operations. From fundamental to cutting-edge, research-based information, topics include agronomics, integrated pest management, weed and disease management, precision agriculture, irrigation, grain drying and storage, marketing, sustainability and more. The program will be delivered via a hybrid virtual/face-to-face format to meet the accessibility needs of every eligible producer across the state, especially as the COVID-19 pandemic continues.
“We are pleased that UT Extension is adding row crops to their Master Program offerings,” states Tennessee Commissioner of Agriculture Charlie Hatcher, D.V.M. “This creates an opportunity for farmers to realize the 50 percent cost share under the Row Crop Solutions portion of the Tennessee Agricultural Enhancement Program (TAEP). Education has been a cornerstone of TAEP since its inception. Adding the Master Row Crop certification emphasizes the importance of this sector to our agriculture industry, as well as its contribution to rural economic development in our state.”
“We look forward to continuing to deliver impactful, relevant and research-based information to our Tennessee row crop producers through the formalized Master Row Crop certification program,” adds Lori Duncan, UT Extension row crop sustainability specialist and coordinator of the Master Row Crop certification program. “This program will further expand our educational offerings in row crop production and make information more available and accessible to every corner of the state.”
Interested producers can enroll at their county Extension office. Program requirements and further details can be found at masterrowcrop.tennessee.edu. For more resources on row crops or improvements to farming operations, visit utextension.tennessee.edu or contact your county Extension office.
Through its land-grant mission of research, teaching and extension, the University of Tennessee Institute of Agriculture touches lives and provides Real. Life. Solutions. utia.tennessee.edu.

Absolutely nothing out of the ordinary was happening in Mammoth, so why all the calls? It turns out the calls were inspired by a fictional story titled "WTF is going on in Pinal county, Arizona??" posted on the reddit community "No Sleep."

A fake news report recently circulated on social media alleging that former child star Macaulay Culkin, of Home Alone fame, had been found dead in his Manhattan apartment. Cause of death was not described. The fake report originated from the spoof website msnbc.website, which is unaffiliated with the MSNBC news network.
Tampax, maker of feminine hygiene products, has an article on its website in which it claims that, "The ancient Egyptians fashioned disposable tampons from softened papyrus. The Greek physician Hippocrates, writing in the fifth century B.C., described another type of tampon, which was made of lint wrapped around lightweight wood." Helen King, in an article posted at Wonders and Marvels, notes that this idea of a 'Hippocratic tampon' has been repeated uncritically by many other sites. But was it true? Did women in ancient Greece actually use tampons? No, she argues, they didn't. King…
Last night, Balloon Boy: The Musical had its opening-night performance at Monarch High School in Louisville, Colorado. The musical was written by Billy Reece, who's only 16. He told the LA Times that it's "a comedy that is neither for nor against the Heenes, but a commentary on a celebrity-obsessed society." Richard Heene, father of Balloon Boy, has not, to my knowledge, commented on the new musical. It got me thinking about how many other hoaxes have been made into musicals or plays. Here's the list of all the ones that I can think of (though I'm sure there must be more):
There's a bit of a mystery on Reddit. Redditor "tcatron565" claims to have come across a post on Facebook from someone trying to sell 3000 tarantulas because their owner "is away" and the spiders are starving. These tarantulas need to find a home fast! Definitely an unusual situation, but is it for real? Impossible to say since there's no contact info, and tcatron565 hasn't offered any more details. But just in case it's not a hoax, the moderator of the spiders subreddit has offered to go to "great lengths" to find a home for the tarantulas. [via Daily Dot]
At Web Summit in Dublin, two social-media strategists started pitching a new startup called VelloBook, which they described as the "world's first ad-only social media network. Giving people the power to share ads." They also created a Twitter feed, @VelloBook. But after they started getting a lot of requests for meetings, they realized that they needed to make it clearer that this was a "fake startup" — a joke! I predict that it's a joke that will one day soon become reality. [independent.ie]

If I were to make a list of the Worst Nessie Sightings Ever, Jonathan Bright's Nessie photo would have to be near the top of the list. To me it looks like a wave. Plain and simple. And yet he's managed to successfully promote this thing (and himself). He was a featured speaker at Scotland's first Paranormal Festival where he discussed the photo, and most recently his Wave-Nessie was the subject of a write-up in the Daily Mail. Bright took the photo on Nov 2, 2011 while taking a cruise of Loch Ness. That happens to be the same day that the skipper George Edwards [edit: claimed he]…
The latest fake news story to be mistaken for reality comes from clickhole.com. It claims that Beanie Babies made in the 90s were actually filled with thousands of spider eggs, and that those eggs are now beginning to hatch "bursting through the seams of Beanies everywhere." Syracuse.com reports that the fake story has been shared on Facebook over 58,000 times. Unlike most fake news stories, which aren't funny at all, I can actually see an element of humor in this one.

When pulled over by a cop, this Florida motorist identified herself as Christina Topp, age 22. When the cop questioned why she really didn't look 22, the woman explained that she had a "medical condition that makes her age faster."

Biological Psychology Worksheet
1. What is biological psychology?
Biological psychology, commonly referred to as biopsychology and also referred to as psychobiology, behavioral neuroscience, or behavioral biology is the scientific study of the biology of behavior (Pinel, 2009). Biopsychology or biological psychology is a branch of psychology, which analyzes how neurotransmitters and the brain influence individual’s thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.
2. What is the historical development of biological psychology?
During the 20th century, biopsychology developed into a major neuroscientific discipline after D. O. Hebb published The Organization of Behavior in 1949, which played a key role in its emergence (Pinel, 2009). Through this book, the first comprehensive theory of how complex psychological phenomena was developed by Hebb, such as emotions, perceptions, memories, and thoughts might be produced by brain activity (Pinel, 2009). Pinel (2009), “Hebb’s theory did much to discredit the view that psychological functioning is too complex to have its roots in the physiology and chemistry of the brain” (p. 4). Hebb’s theory was developed from insightful observations of daily life, and is based on experiments that involved laboratory animals and humans, on logical arguments and on clinical case studies (Pinel, 2009). The approach that Hebb took is a trademark of biopsychological inquiry. As of today, tools such as PET and MRI scans are used by scientists to look at how brain damage, disease, and drugs impact cognitive functioning and behavior.
3. Name one to three important theorists associated with biological psychology.
Donald O. Hebb, Rene Descartes, and Charles Darwin are three important theorist associated with biological psychology. Biopsychology developed into a major neuroscientific discipline after D. O. Hebb published The Organization of Behavior in 1949, which played a key role in its emergence (Pinel, 2009). Descartes’ beliefs were that the mind and the body were two entirely different things. He thought of the mind or soul being as non-physical and independent of the material world, and that the body was composed of physical matter (Chavez, 2009). Darwin was one of the earliest scientists who made the connection between psychology and biology. Darwin referred to the connection he made between psychology and biology as biological psychology instinct for survival (Tyrer, 2009).
4. Describe the relationship between biological psychology and other fields in psychology and neuroscience.
The relationship between biopsychology and other neuroscientific disciplines further defines biopsychology (Pinel, 2009). Biopsychology, fields of psychology and neuroscience all search for an understanding of the functions of the brain and how it reacts to behaviors. Biopsychologists are members of the team effort of neuroscience, and are neuroscientists, who provide the knowledge of behavior and of the methods of behavioral research to their research (Pinel, 2009). The behavioral orientation and expertise of biopsychologists make their contributions unique to neuroscience (Pinel, 2009). The contributions of neuroscience are significant in providing information through its research and the discoveries of the neural and biological processes are important to biopsychology for applications in diagnoses and treatments (Wickens, 2005). Biopsychology and neuroscience use their combined research and data received from the research in studying the nervous system to understand behavior and the factors that contribute to the behaviors expressed.
5. Describe the major underlying assumptions of a biopsychological approach.
The major underlying assumptions of the biopsychological approach are that biological events cause mental consequences and that mental events cause biological consequences (Wickens, 2005). Biopsychologists believe that the mental and biological processes are linked to each other and cannot be separated. The inextricable connection between the two is defined by these assumptions (Wickens, 2005).

Notts County have signed Liverpool goalkeeper Vitezslav Jaros as the Magpies made a breakthrough in their push to give competition to Sam Slocombe.
Jaros has signed a deal until the end of the season and is likely to be involved with the squad that travels to Bromley in the National League at the weekend.
Notts had been forced to move for a goalkeeper after Anthony Patterson's loan spell was cut short by Sunderland as Lee Burge continues to recover from Covid.
That had left Slocombe and young Tiernan Brooks as the only goalkeepers on the books with the latter now expected to head out on loan himself in order to aid his development.
Head coach Ian Burchnall said he was thrilled to land Jaros and believes he will challenge Slocombe for the number one spot.
"Vitezslav comes very highly recommended to me by a friend at Liverpool and Michael Doyle has taken a number of very good references from Ireland, so we’re delighted to have him here," he said.
“It’s well documented that we want to get Tiernan Brooks out on loan to further his first-team experience, and as a consequence of that we needed to bring someone else in.
“I didn’t want that person to be a number two who’s comfortable sitting behind Sam Slocombe. Like in every area of the pitch, we want challenge in order to raise the bar.
“Sam was excellent at Wealdstone, has had a good season and is a top professional. He will be driven on by Vitezslav and vice-versa.”
Jaros, 20, is a Czech youth international and arrived at Anfield in 2017 from Slavia Prague, initially joining Steven Gerrard’s Under-18s’ team.
He helped the Reds secure the prestigious FA Youth Cup in his second season at Anfield before making his first senior appearance in a friendly against Tranmere in 2019/20.
He has also been named on the bench for Liverpool’s Champions League matches against Ajax and FC Midtjylland and started against Tranmere and Port Vale in the EFL Trophy.
Later in the campaign he joined Irish top-flight side St Patrick’s Athletic in what proved to be a hugely successful loan move as he kept 11 clean sheets in 38 matches and scooped the club’s player of the season.
And his stay in Ireland reached the perfect conclusion in late November as St Pat’s emerged victorious from a closely-contested FAI Cup final against Bohemians played out in front of 37,000 fans at the Aviva Stadium.
Goalkeeper coach Tom Weal added: “As soon as we knew Anthony Patterson wouldn’t be returning we put a shortlist together and, once we’d done our research, Vitezslav was our best option by a distance.
“He’s really confident with the ball at his feet and is happy to play high up the pitch, defending spaces in behind. He had a lot of exposure to defending balls into the box in Ireland and has a good physical presence. He’s a confident lad, as well.
“We’ve had excellent dialogue with him and he spoke about his desire to play at the highest level – he’s got that thirst from training with top goalkeepers like Alisson and Adrian over the last 18 months and is coming here champing at the bit and ready to fight for his place.
“He had watched our last four or five games and identified us as a club he wanted to play for, despite having offers from a higher level. Our staff, the way we play and our facilities have once again allowed us to compete with clubs from a higher level for talented loan players, which bodes well for the future.
“Everyone in the goalkeeping department will benefit from this. We have a really strong dynamic with Sam’s experience, Tiernan’s potential and Vitezlav coming in to provide competition. It’s really exciting and hopefully we’ll see positive outcomes as the season goes on.”

Hotez and his colleagues at other Texas academic centers thought the steeple would be carrying and other illnesses among children in a survey last year. That report identified the 18 states which allowed parents to opt out of school vaccine requirements for religious purposes or philosophy.
Now, Hortez presented to The Washington Post last week, in the 15 counties whose immunity is from the non-medical vaccine, half of which report on issues in the UK. behavior.
In a glittering show on Rockland County, the heart of the worst of New York's tensions in the decades, a judge has bombarded the controversial efforts of local officers to prevent infant children from public places.
The ruling of the judge ruled down Friday, removing a restriction that would have stayed for another 20 days. When he declared the ban in the previous month, Ed Day from the Scottish Executive announced that his aim was to arrest the problems they had identified. 167 September.
“We won't sit down because children in our community are in danger,” said Day at a news conference in March.
However in the following years parents from Waldorf's private school blamed the law known as the "treason" and "dangerous". Parents argue that county officials were higher than the legal authority. T and that the ban prevented the movement and refused to collect their collection and collection in public places. "
Elsewhere in New York, especially Brooklyn and Her Majesty, the Jewish community of Jewish Jews has found it very difficult. On Monday, the New York City Health Department re-announced their December booking for the yeshivas in Williamsburg, asking them to prevent children from schooling and avoiding day care.

A number of state legislatures are the measurements that a patient may have to have their vaccination needs or abolish the imposition of an order that gave parents the opportunity to ban children.
Meanwhile, health workers, experts and international organizations have continued to raise weaknesses about the "vaccine smell". The World Health Organization has recently announced that it is one of the key global threats in 2019.

Although Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia are not yet entirely preventable, you can learn to boost your ability to organize information, cement it in your mind, and recall it more easily. The following tips on how to improve memory are among the most accessible steps you can take to strengthen your ability to remember.
The seven simple approaches below should help you learn how to increase memory power by making information easier to retain and recall.
How to Improve Memory Power #1: Make an Effort
To remember something, you have to put in some work. Get motivated to remember by considering how the information will be useful to you. For example, memorizing the names of your medications will enable you to discuss them more easily with your doctor at appointments.
How to Improve Memory Power #2: Concentrate
Focus on one memory task at a time. You’ll have an easier time fixing the information in your mind.
How to Improve Memory Power #3: Get Organized
When trying to boost memory power, a lot of people start by getting organized. Always keep your keys, purse, wallet, and other important, frequently used belongings in the same place—like a receptacle on the kitchen counter. Use a calendar, smartphone app, or other device to keep track of appointments and other important dates. Buy an automated medication dispenser to help you remember when to take your pills.
Organize information into rhymes, acronyms, musical ditties, or other forms that are easier for your brain to encode and recall.
How to Improve Memory Power #4: Manage Your Memory
Break the information you want to remember into small pieces so that you don’t overload your memory. And take breaks during the process of remembering to give your brain a rest.
How to Improve Memory Power #5: Associate
Connect new bits of information with things you already know. For example, if you meet someone new who is named Sandra, associate her with the image of a sandy beach to help you remember her name the next time you meet.
How to Improve Memory Power #6: Understand the Information You’re Trying to Remember
If you’re trying to teach yourself Photoshop, learn the reason for each step in the photo manipulation process. You’ll be more likely to remember how to do something if you know the reason for it.
How to Improve Memory Power #7: Use Cues
Put your empty medicine bottle by the door to remind yourself to refill your prescription. Paste a “sticky note” on the refrigerator to help you remember to buy milk. Use clocks with timers to remind you to turn off the oven.

They were brought along the road on tractors. In general, it is planned to send 120 different armored vehicles to help the Ukrainian army.
The Spartan armored personnel carrier is a veteran of the British army. It was created by Alvis plc in the early 1970s. The machine entered service in 1978 and since then their fleet in the British armed forces has consisted of about 500 units.
The armored personnel carrier was intended for scouts, the transfer of anti-aircraft gunner teams, mortar fire control groups and representatives of other military specialties. In general, it served as an armored "taxi" armed with a 7.62 mm machine gun from the Belgian designer Ernest Vervier. In addition to the machine gun, the armored personnel carrier can have four smoke bombs on each side. Some vehicles were equipped with MILAN anti-tank missile systems.
The crew of the armored personnel carrier - three people. The car can take four or five more people on board, but in this case the crew is reduced by one person.
The Spartan is powered by a 190 horsepower Jaguar gasoline engine that was produced from 1949 to 1992. The combat weight of the armored personnel carrier reaches almost 11 tons. The car can accelerate to 96 kilometers per hour, and at an average speed it can overcome 510 kilometers. A feature of the machine is its high cross-country ability. It overcomes slopes with a steepness of up to 60%.
There are more than a hundred Spartan armored personnel carriers planned for shipment to Ukraine, 35 pieces, the rest of the delivery will be Mastiff, Wolfhound and Husky. All these vehicles are wheeled with enhanced mine protection. They have a V-shaped bottom and some armor. But the protection is designed mainly for improvised explosive devices.
The Mastiff and its variant Wolfhound are essentially trucks. It is believed that they are able to withstand an explosion of 13.5 kilograms of TNT under the front or rear axles and six kilograms in the center. The weight of Mastiff reaches 16 tons, and Wolfhound - 25. Cars can carry up to 12 people with equipment. The first - with a maximum speed of about 60 kilometers per hour on the highway, and the second - 90 kilometers per hour.
From armament, both vehicles can be equipped with a 12.7 or 7.62 mm machine gun, which is mounted in a rotating turret at the top. In fact, the tower consists of several shields around the perimeter that cover the shooter.
A distinctive feature is weak armor. This drawback is partly solved by metal gratings welded around the perimeter of the machines.
The Husky armored car was created by the American company Navistar Defense on special order from the British army. The basis is a commercial truck of the Gazelle type, but, of course, American-made.
The machine is equipped with an eight-cylinder diesel engine with a capacity of 340 horsepower and an automatic transmission. Husky can reach speeds of 115 kilometers per hour and with a breeze ride four on the highway. Of the weapons on the armored car, a heavy machine gun is used, installed in the same turret design as on the Wolfhound. The doors are equipped with loopholes with bulletproof viewing glasses.
The peculiarity of this machine is that the US Department of Defense refused to accept it for service, since the Husky did not pass the mine test. However, the British did not refuse it and signed contracts for 262 cars, some of which will be sent to Ukraine almost from the assembly line.

The United Nations Security Council has passed a Presidential Statement urging political actors in Guinea Bissau to recognize the urgent need to hold presidential elections on the agreed date of November 24th. The country was again forced into political uncertainty when President Jose Mario Vaz dismissed the government of Prime Minister Artistides Gomes just weeks before the already delayed Presidential poll. This prompted the Economic Community of West Africa States to issue a communiqué calling the move illegal. The Council statement has called on all actors in Guinea-Bissau to fully respect the ECOWAS Heads of State decision from June 29 this year.
