In applications such as airborne high energy chemical lasers, diffuser size and weight can be critical parameters. This paper summarizes the authors’ research concerning the effects of flow injection into a supersonic diffuser in a direction opposite to that of the main flow. Experimental studies were conducted concerning the effect of diffuser performance, particularly length and pressure recovery, of this reverse flow, and a quasi-one-dimensional control volume analysis was performed to predict some of the diffuser flow properties. Single-stream, dual-stream, and sudden enlargement configurations were considered. This work has shown that a reverse flow can reduce the length of a diffuser while causing only a small decrease in overall pressure recovery.

Is Jack Smith Really a Special Counsel?
by Brent E. Zepke, Esq.
Was the attempted appointment of Jack Smith as Special Prosecutor Valid? On November 15, 2022, President Trump announced his candidacy for the presidency in 2024. Just three days later, on November 18, 2022, Attorney General Merrick Garland announced that he was appointing Jack Smith as Special Counsel to investigate President Trump.
To quote Yogi Berra: “That is too coincidental to be a coincidence.”
Did it take the three days between the 15th and the 18th of November for Garland to name, and reach, Smith, who was living in the Netherlands with his wife Katy Chevigny as she was working with Michelle Obama on a documentary about the former first lady’s life called “Becoming.”
Garland sent his appointment documents naming “Jack Smith” as Special Counsel to Smith for his completing the appointment process of signing it and taking the oath of office with a witness.
Smith, after relocating to D.C. in December 2020, acting as Special Counsel, formed a team of prosecutors and began alleging crimes committed by President Trump, which included Trump’s alleged failure to follow the rules for record keeping, oh, and conspiracy for the activities of Jan 6, 2021. Interestingly, the Democrats and the mainstream media continue to assert that Trump is charged with “insurrection”; neither the Special Counsel, nor any other prosecutor, has ever charged President Trump with “insurrection.”
The Federal Judge, Tanya Chutkan (the only judge to sentence those convicted of Jan 6 violations to longer jail sentences than recommended by the prosecutors), scheduled the Special Counsel’s Jan 6 case for March 4, 2024, the day before Super Tuesday, when 15 states hold their Republican primaries or caucuses.
However, since the question of whether President Trump had “Presidential Immunity,” would determine if there could even be a trial, the question of immunity had to be decided before any trial.
Since every previous president in our nation’s had “Presidential Immunity,” Trump’s lawyers appealed to the D.C. appellate court to reverse Judge Chutkan’s denial of his immunity.
Smith – worried that Trump’s right to appeal any decision to the U.S. Supreme Court would delay the trial date until after the campaign season – tried to get the Supreme Court to issue an expedited ruling. The Supreme Court declined and sent the case back to the appellate court.
However, in the short time the case was before the Supreme Court, former Attorney General Ed Meese filed an Amicus Curie (“friend of the court”) brief alleging that since Jack Smith was not a valid Special Counsel, any of his actions were null and void.
Meese’s brief, which now sits in front of the D.C Court of Appeals, asserts the following three reasons why “Jack Smith” is not a valid Special Counsel:
“The Special Counsel shall be selected from outside the United States Government” (29 CFR 600.3) where ‘CFR” stands for Code of Federal Regulations. Smith was working for the government as a prosecutor in The International Criminal Court (ICC).
Becoming a Special Counsel requires that certification must be signed by the person and the Oath of Office executed, with a witness, within 30 days of the signature. In November 2022, Smith signed the document but it and the Oath, were not witnessed. This omission was considered serious enough that the DOJ legal department notified Smith in the summer of 2023 that he needed to have his signature and oath witnessed, which he did, some 228 days after signing the document. The taking of the oath is so important that, for example, any actions a “president elect” may try to implement before becoming “president” are null and void. Smith’s indictments of Trump were before he completed the oath.
The name Attorney General Garland put on the certification was “Jack Smith,” which is not the name of the person trying to act as Special Counsel, which is “John Luman Smith.” Note that Luman did not correct the error.
Should the Appeals Court, or subsequently the U.S. Supreme Court, decide that the “irregularities” (such a gentle word for failure to follow the rules) committed by the United States Attorney General and/or “John Luman Smith” were significant enough to void the appointment of John Luman Smith,” then all the actions Jack Smith took as “Special Counsel” should be null and void, including the indictments of Donald Trump.
After all, no one is above the law.

It’s important to watch your fields—not your calendar—when deciding to plant says Farm Journal Field Agronomist Ken Ferrie. Cool soils, wet conditions and potential late frost means you still need to be patient.
“Don’t panic—you don’t want to give up a tremendous amount of yield,” Ferrie says. “Don’t mud in corn, that comes back to bite us [at harvest].”
First things first, Ferrie advises farmers take down the calendar because date doesn’t dictate when you should head to the field, field conditions do. “The biggest mistake guys make is with tillage,” he says. “We know if we work the field it’ll dry out and we deal with a lot of compaction issues that show up in July and August.”
About 85% of the compaction issues he sees are from decisions farmers make right now while panicking about getting into the fields ‘on time.’
Depending on management, some fields will be ready before others. Ferrie says fields chiseled in the fall tend to dry out faster than those to be tilled in spring. If you employ spring tillage check your soil before entering the field with heavy equipment.
“Dig down to tillage depth, ball up the soil from that depth and try to ribbon it between your fingers,” Ferrie says, “if it extends one inch past your fingers that will cause compaction issues when tilling.”
Unfortunately, field conditions aren’t always uniform across the field. In some cases you might see 70% of the field ready-to-go and 30% still a little too wet. If you plant under those conditions, watch the 30% to have more stress and yield issues throughout the season Ferrie advises.
“If Mother Nature is good to you and you get timely rains you might never see the effect of compaction,” he says. “Typically in July and August—when rains are few and far between—compacted parts of the field will be stressed the most and you might start seeing aborted kernels.”
In addition, cold soil temperatures and frost threats could damage seeds and young plants. In several parts of the Corn Belt soil is still just under 50°—corn’s optimum planting temperature.
“One of the challenges of planting in soils that are 45° or lower is seed chilling,” Ferrie says. “When the corn seed imbibes, the temperature of the water it takes in has an effect on the seed itself. Water under 50° means that when swelling takes place the cells aren’t as elastic and they tear, which can cause disoriented mesocotyl, no sprouting, etc. It might not kill the plant completely but effects could show up in ear count.”
Soybeans might be the better crop to plant when soils are cool—pending you have defense against sudden death syndrome. In testing, Ferrie has seen earlier-planted soybeans perform better. Even a small stand loss, like 10% to 15%, isn’t as noticeable in soybeans as it is in corn since they compensate.
“For the first time we have more beans planted than corn in our customer base,” he adds.
However, if you get a late frost corn is in better shape than soybeans. Since the growing point is below ground until V6, corn is safe, whereas a late frost in soybeans could mean you need to replant. Ferrie expects to see a lot of soybeans planted this week in Illinois.
According to Michael Clark with BAMWX weather, conditions look like they’re improving across the Midwest.
“A lot of primary grain regions will be dry with 70° to 80° highs,” Clark says. “This should provide a good window to get out and get work done. The Dakotas and Minnesota will be warmer than usual, too, and colder spots will be in the southeast.”
He expects the month of May to be a rollercoaster for weather and temperature, but overall drier.

I see that you have stop loss at 5% - in the list of stocks that are shown I see that you bought NVDA and other stocks and they are now 20% less than what you bought -- did you get out of these stocks using stop loss or are you still holding them ?
Yes, as a rule I use a stop loss at 5% on every entry. Another sell rule is when a stock slices its 50sma with volume on a weekly chart. Another rule I use is to never allow a profit to tun into the loss column.
I had a great entry price on NVDA at $162, $207, and $230. I liquidated the position when it sliced its 50sma with volume on the weekly chart. The semiconductor fabless group was a top group just a few short weeks ago, and now it is ranked #50. Those stocks have seen considerable selling in the past few months. NVDA in particular was down 9 of 10 weeks before breaking that streak last week.NVDA is one of the liquid leaders and a stock that I will always watch. It has been struggling along with the Nasdaq the past few months. But, it found support at its 200sma, and bounced. The problem now is that is must trade through some overhead supply and resistance at its moving averages. This is a process and will take some time. It is a great growth stock with tremendous fundamentals, and a stock I will likely buy again at some point. But, for now, I must stick to the rules.
I hope this answers your question.

Depression is a battle of silence and it affects everyone differently. Voices of Hope founder Jazz Thornton says those suffering from depression don't have to do it alone.
Thornton says the disease knows no bounds and it can affect anyone.
“They are screaming for help on the inside, but are trying to figure out how to articulate that,” says Thornton, “So they just kind of go on with their lives not knowing how to seek help, not knowing how to articulate what they're feeling.”
Thornton tried to end it all 14 times.
“I was walking down the street and I remember just watching everyone walk past, and watching everyone drive past and thinking they have no idea, everyone's lives are continuing on,” she says.
Depression can be a silent killer, it can touch 16 percent of people, that's 582, 000 of New Zealand's population. Māori make up the highest proportion.
If left untreated depression can lead to suicide.
“In New Zealand we have learnt to hide with the stigma of speaking out, about it [being seen as] weak, asking for help is weak, that kind of 'man-up' thing. Therefore we kind of suppress our emotions and we don't let people in to see that, which makes it very, very, hard to identify,” says Thornton.
The symptoms of this silent killer come in many forms, such as:
- feeling hopeless.
- nothing can cheer you up.
- feeling restless or fidgety.
- everything is too much of an effort.
- feeling worthless.
- feeling nervous.
Tohunga Wiremu Niania says just being there goes a long way.
“Talking about aroha, how important it is to understand and be patient,” says Niania.
Thornton says, “My core belief was that I was unlovable and I was a burden and those closest to me began to directly speak into that saying things like 'Jazz, I love you' or 'Jazz, I'm proud of you'.”
Thornton says that’s enough to give you something to fight for, hope to carry you into the future.

My cunning plan to recover from my discomfort caused by my unsteadiness on Thursday afternoon clearly worked well because, although a little tight, I was able to walk with relative comfort and ease when I awoke this morning. “Fabulous,” I thought, “I can get out of this flat.”
But what to do?
Well, it seemed obvious, at least to me, that I could do what I had originally intended to do yesterday afternoon and visit the New Zealand Maritime Museum. After some thought, ably assisted by the ingestion of coffee, I decided that yes, that would be what I did this morning. And if necessary, I could ‘recover’ this afternoon.
So into the rental car I hopped ready for the drive into the centre of Auckland, and to the very edge of the harbour itself. The trip took slightly longer than anticipated if only because there’s roadworks going on in the centre of the city, and they keep going on Saturdays. But I didn’t mind, at least I was out in some very pleasant sunshine while driving about.
After parking very close to the museum, and purchasing an entry ticket, I spent a very delightful few hours wandering through the admittedly small museum looking at the variety of exhibits therein. Not unexpectedly, one of the exhibit areas features examples – both real and model – of the kind of vessels used throughout the Pacific islands, from Fiji to Samoa, from the Cook Islands to Aotearoa. The ability to get ‘up close and personal’ to these vessels meant that it was possible to observe the craftsmanship that went into the construction of these vessels. These are not ‘primitive’ vessels; they were the kind of vessels built by experts following age old, tried and tested methods, that have been handed down from generation to generation. Neither are these vessels simple plain vessels. They are constructed with beauty and attention to detail, and with exquisite and quite detailed artwork.
Other exhibits contained the kind of maritime-related displays you might expected, focussing on the early European arrival and settlement, and the later migration story, and the place of coastal trading and the water in the life of New Zealand. A special display is dedicated to the life of Sir Peter Blake, the famous New Zealand yachtsman (famous for his involvement, particularly, in the success of the New Zealand challenges for the America’s Cup).
After finishing at the museum, I strolled along the waterfront for a little way, particularly the Princes and Queens Wharf where, as luck would have it, I was able to have a very pleasant lunch while watching the world go by – quite literally since there was a cruise ship in port and there lots of different languages and nationalities walking past the seat that took advantage of. The end of my leisurely lunch led me back to the car and the drive back to the flat, again navigating the various roadworks and delays caused by the increasing traffic compared to earlier.
I detoured via the supermarket for food supplies, and eventually surrendered to the desire to have a quick nap.
This evening I went to the local Catholic church, just 800 metres away. The liturgical experience was certainly better than what I encountered at the Cathedral last Sunday evening, but there were still some strange liturgical practices that caught my eye. Will really need to read the NZ version of the General Instruction of the Roman Missal to make sure I’m not misinformed. On the other hand, the homily, from the Parish Priest, was quite good, and had a ‘hook’ that kept my attention throughout and afterwards. I’ll probably be back next week…
And so, home for a fine meal, and then a quiet Saturday night at home. My plan for tomorrow, being the day of rest, is to attend to some household chores, and then ‘rest’.

Roy Austin Floumoy, Jr. (Milton, VT, US)
IPC8 Class: AE06B952FI
Class name: Flexible or portable closure, partition, or panel framed type
Publication date: 2013-12-26
Patent application number: 20130340958
A flexible insect screen for hatches and/or openings that do not have
1. The claim is for the two component flexible insect screen system
comprising of the "Receiver" and the "Screen" and any variations thereof.
The application of which is to remedy openings and/or hatches that do not
have insect screens.
CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS
 U.S. Pat. No. 2,717,437
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
 The purpose of this invention is to address deficiencies in existing hatches and openings that do not have an insect screen. Boat deck hatches are a specific example although the invention is applicable to any hatch or opening that does not have an insect screen.
BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
 The correction of this deficiency is by the application of a removable, flexible insect screen to the inside surface around the hatch or opening. If applied to a hatch, the open direction is outward, away from the invention. This location avoids conflict between the invention and the open hatch. The flexible material allows the screen to conform to the surface around the hatch or opening. Boat deck hatches as a specific example would have the invention applied to the underside of the deck, inside the boat, with the hatch opening outwards and upwards.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
 The invention is comprised of two components--
1. The Screen
 a. Sized larger than the hatch opening with similar configuration.
 b. The edges have a sewn fabric border, running continuous and enclosing the perimeter of the Screen.
 c. The fabric border has a one half of a hook and loop fastener applied to one side of the border, running continuous and enclosing the perimeter of the Screen.
 d. The area between, and within, the continuous perimeter flexible fabric borders is comprised of flexible insect screen.
2. The Receiver
 a. Sized the same as the Screen with identical configuration.
 b. Comprised of the sewn fabric border only, identical in size, dimension and configuration of the Screen border.
 c. The fabric border has the opposite half of the hook and loop fastener that is on the Screen fabric border.
 d. The remaining area inside the fabric border is open without any material.
 Application and Installation--
1. The Receiver
 a. Applied by adhesive or mechanical fasteners to the inside surface area around the existing hatch in identical configuration to the Screen.
 b. The final installation of the Receiver must have the hook and loop fastener exposed to receive the Screen.
2. The Screen
 a. The Screen is applied to the Receiver by aligning the borders of the Receiver and the Screen so that the hook and loop fasteners on each border can connect.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE SEVERAL VIEWS OF THE DRAWING
 Drawing 1 shows the Receiver, the Screen and the hatch opening. The invention is shown sized larger that the hatch opening. The drawing shows how the Receiver would be applied to the surface around the hatch. The drawing shows how the Receiver and the Screen align and connect. The finish installation would have the screen over the hatch opening.

Antarctica’s Larsen C ice shelf deep crack continues to cut across the ice, leaving a huge chunk clinging on. When it eventually gives way, one of the largest icebergs on record will be set adrift, and whole or in pieces, ocean currents could drag it north, even as far as the Falkland Islands. And if so it could pose a hazard for ships in Drake Passage.
But even before the inevitable happens, (European Space Agency) ESA’s CryoSat mission can reveal some of the future berg’s vital statistics. Monitored by the Copernicus Sentinel-1 radar pair, the crack in the ice is now around 200 km long, leaving just 5 km between the end of the fissure and the ocean.
While waiting for Sentinel-1 to record when this 6000 sq km iceberg is spawned, CryoSat can reveal what the berg’s measurements will be.
The Earth Explorer satellite carries a radar altimeter to measure the height of the ice surface. In general, this information is used to work out how the thickness of sea ice and land ice is changing and, consequently, how the volume of Earth’s ice is being affected by the climate.
Noel Gourmelen from the University of Edinburgh said, “Using information from CryoSat, we have mapped the elevation of the ice above the ocean and worked out that the eventual iceberg will be about 190 m thick and contain about 1155 cubic kilometres of ice.
“We have also estimated that the depth below sea level could be as much as 210 m.”
Icebergs calve from Antarctica all the time, but because this one is particularly large its path across the ocean needs to be monitored as it could pose a hazard to maritime traffic. Sentinel-1 and CryoSat will play an important role in tracking the berg and keeping an eye on how it changes.
Dr Gourmelen added, “We will continue to use CryoSat to monitor how the berg changes as it drifts away from the ice shelf.”
A berg, similar in size, drifted around the Brunt ice shelf in December 2015, causing alarm for those stationed at the Halley research base, which sits on the floating section of the shelf.
Anna Hogg from the University of Leeds said, “Measurements from CryoSat showed that the Brunt berg was around 390 m, so too thick to come close to ‘shore’ since the sea is shallow here.
“As for this new Larsen C berg, we are not sure what will happen. It could, in fact, even calve in pieces or break up shortly after. Whole or in pieces, ocean currents could drag it north, even as far as the Falkland Islands. If so it could pose a hazard for ships in Drake Passage.
“What is certain, though, is that we shall continue to use CryoSat to keep a check on its progress.”
ESA’s Mark Drinkwater added, “Our historical effort to track large icebergs shows that those from the western Weddell Sea find their way out into the Antarctic Circumpolar Current or into the South Atlantic.

Very little, right?
And so, we scanned the Instagram and Twitter accounts of celebs from India and abroad, to bring to you weekly updates from the interwebz. Who tweeted to whom? Who reposted last night's party pics? Who went on a rant about what. Whatever it is, don't worry, we've got you covered.
We stalk, you read. Deal?

Shahid Kapoor took to Instagram and shared the most 'aww' inducing boomerang video with his adorable daughter Misha. The caption of the video read 'breakfast sugar rush'.

This is very scarce example of an early version of the Japanese Army Company Grade Officer's Kyu-gunto sword, referred to as the Type 8. It was identified for me by Jim Dawson, the published expert on Japanese Military Swords. This is a unique version which has a silver plated brass hilt as opposed to a gilt one.
Sword with scabbard is 23 1/2" long overall, with a blade length of 16 1/16".
As you can see, the handle is an early Japanese military style, silver plated instead of gold plated (definitely a period job). A few examples have been found with a silver plated ferrule, but this is the only example I know of that is all silvered. The Mon on the handle is a 5-petaled Cherry Blossom. The Mon has a peg on it so that the blade can be removed in the traditional manner. One of the combined Mon/peg is missing.
The blade is an original, hand forged Wakizashi, which has never been shortened. The original peg hole was hand punched, while a new hole was drilled to in order to remount it into Police fittings. There is a two character signature under the Habaki, as well as some notches. The blade has an old polish which has some clouding and stains, tiny edge nicks, etc. There are two spots where the blade is "tired" circled in the photos.
The scabbard is in pretty good shape, no splits or cracks, with the Kojiri end cap missing. It originally had a leather scabbard cover which has been lost over time.


FDA Tobacco Regulation Bill Enriches Lobbyists
A lobbying firm has been paid hundreds of thousands of dollars, including $160,000 in the first half of 2007, to lobby for the FDA tobacco regulation bill, by Altria (Philip Morris), the nation’s largest tobacco company.
The bill supposedly seeks to protect the public health, but a news story notes that the true motivation behind the FDA tobacco regulation bill may be a big company’s desire to kill off its smaller competitors. “Altria, the largest U.S. tobacco company, is better positioned to operate under regulation than competitors,” it observes.
An editorial in a campus newspaper describes how the FDA tobacco regulation bill was gerrymandered to suit Altria’s interests, rather than the public interest.
The bill has also drawn criticism on health grounds, and charges that it would violate international trade treaties.

At the age of 69, stuntman extraordinaire Robert Craig Knievel Jr., better known as "Evel Knievel" has passed away. Renowned for his wild stunts that involved his two-wheeler jumping over impossible obstacles, in the last few years, he became quite frail.
Evel leaves behind sons Kelly and Robbie Knievel, himself a pro daredevil, daughters Alicia and Tracey. He also had 11 grandchildren with ex-wives Linda Knievel and Krystal Kennedy.
Also mourning the loss of his employer is Darren Prince, Knievel’s marketing agent. The CEO of Prince Marketing Group says, "“He was a great man and there will never be another like him again. I feel honored to have worked with him and hope that America remembers him as not just a stuntman but as an American icon who put his heart and soul into entertaining us.”

A modern B&B run by a friendly couple who did everything possible to make our stay comfortable.
This is a purpose built B&B that was clean and extremely well presented.
Colin and his wife met us on arrival and made sure we were fully aware of what the room had to offer and also provided us with menu's and directions of where to eat in the village. The village was only a ten minute walk so it was ideal to stroll through the quaint English countryside on such a lovely summer evening. Breakfast was made to order and you could have what you wanted nothing was to much trouble. This B&B and the gardens surrounding are well maintained, would love to have stayed longer.

Monaco is set to host the fourth Fight Aids Cup, blending football with philanthropy. The event features football stars all playing for a cause much bigger than the game itself at the Louis II stadium, in an exciting face-off between the Barbagiuans and Cirque FC.
The Fight Aids Cup has evolved into more than just a sporting event under the guidance of Louis Ducruet, nephew of Prince Albert II and President of the ‘Barbagiuans of Monaco’, a Monegasque philanthropic fundraising association. It has become an important fundraising initiative for HIV/AIDS initiatives, transcending traditional sports boundaries.
“With pride, we’ve seen the event grow, touching hearts and changing lives,” said Louis Ducruet.
A stage for legends and leaders
Aligning with the Monte-Carlo International Circus Festival’s 50th anniversary, the event is set to be an entertaining night, combining sports and spectacle, where football greats and the Princely Family come together in a battle on the field.
“We want this edition to be unforgettable, marking several milestones, and intensifying our fight against HIV,” said Ducruet.
Princess Stéphanie, the heart and soul behind Fight Aids Monaco, echoed this sentiment, saying. “For 20 years, we’ve worked tirelessly against HIV. This Cup isn’t just a game, it’s a spotlight on our ongoing battle, a call to keep pushing forward.”
An evening of fun and spectacle
The event is meticulously planned, from the players’ entrance alongside ‘crazy clowns’ to the mock kick-off this year by Princess Charlene and Princess Stéphanie.
Renowned players like Robert Pires have also joined in past matches. “Being part of this team, supporting Fight Aids Monaco, aligned perfectly with my values,” said Pires.
The gala and the goal
After the game, a gala at the Fairmont will keep the charitable atmosphere alive. All event earnings, including ticket sales, benefit Fight Aids Monaco.
The event will begin at 5:30pm with the match starting at 6:30pm at Stade Louis II on 22nd January. Tickets for the match cost €10. Tickets will be available soon at Home | AS Monaco or directly at the Stadium.

EXCLUSIVE: Samantha to bounce back stronger; Likely to resume shoot of Vijay Deverakonda co-starrer Kushi soon
One of the reasons why Samantha Ruth Prabhu has earned a massive fan following is due to her unparalleled skills in her craft and her dedication.
We are aware of Samantha Ruth Prabhu's unstoppable stardom which she has managed to achieve with unbeatable talent, and an authentic personality. A few weeks ago, The Family Man 2 actress took to social media and revealed that she is suffering from an autoimmune condition called Myositis. She showed her fearless and brave side yet again.
While she took a break from work for treatment in the USA and is now back in India, a little birdie told us Samantha is set to resume the shoot of Vijay Deverakonda co-starrer Kushi soon.
"The new schedule of Kushi might begin on December 14 and Samantha is likely to join the shoot. However, the actress will confirm her availability closer to the date," reveals the source close to the development. One of the reasons why Samantha has earned a massive fan following is due to her unparalleled skills in her craft and dedication. The stunner is set to bounce back stronger than ever and will also start prepping for her role in Varun Dhawan's Citadel, set in the 1990s.
Citadel will mark the first collaboration of Varun Dhawan and Samantha. It’s the second association of Samantha Ruth Prabhu with Raj and DK after Family Man 2.
Coming back to Kushi, the film is directed by Shiva Nirvana and produced by Mythri Movie Makers. The music and background score are composed by Hesham Abdul Wahab.
During an exclusive Interview with Pinkvilla, Vijay Deverakonda opened up about why Kushi is not a pan-Indian film as it will release only in Tamil and Telugu. "It's related to the script. Kushi, the first half is entirely happening and a lot of it comes from me not knowing Hindi and being in Kashmir and stuff so it doesn't work if I put it here. Because if I release it in Hindi, I need to be a Hindi guy. So that whole space of the first half doesn't work so it's a technical reason. For that technical reason, we decided to keep it only to South states. It will work in any language that's not Hindi," Vijay shared.

2023 Toyota GR Corolla breaks cover: 220kW AWD hot hatch confirmed for Australia
The 2023 Toyota GR Corolla has finally been unveiled, with the race-bred hatch set to storm onto Aussie roads by Q4 2022.
Toyota CEO Akio Toyoda's reinvention of the company as one that builds fun cars continues. The company finally lifted the covers off its much-anticipated 2023 GR Corolla hot hatch.
Sporting a wider body and advanced aerodynamics, the GR Corolla stands out at the top of the model's range as a return to its once sporting nature.
Drawing heavily upon the well-received GR Yaris – a model built for World Rally Championship (WRC) homologation – the GR Corolla sports the same 1.6-litre turbocharged 3-cylinder engine and GR-Four all-wheel drive (AWD) system.
Thanks to a valve-equipped triple-exhaust muffler that improves airflow, power is up over the GR Yaris with 220kW on offer, making it the most powerful 3-cylinder production car other than the Koenigsegg Gemera.
Unlike the GR Yaris, the GR Corolla's AWD system controls have been separated from the drive modes, meaning front-rear power distribution is controlled independently of throttle and steering preferences.
Torsen limited-slip differentials come standard as well, while a 6-speed manual gearbox with auto rev-matching is the only transmission on offer.
To aid handling, the standard Corolla body has been made far more rigid through the addition of braces between the rear wheel wells, to the under-floor tunnel and under the floor ahead of the fuel tank.
Enhanced springs and shock absorbers have been added, along with pillow-ball bushings to provide additional chassis control.
Opposed-caliper disc brakes have also been added to improve braking stability and control, particularly when driving on racetracks. A hand-operated parking brake has also been used to allow for better vehicle control when pushing it to its limits.
With Toyoda wishing to "bring back a Corolla that captivates our customers", the CEO was involved in the GR Corolla's development first-hand, even driving a hydrogen-fuelled prototype in the Super Taikyu endurance racing series.
The Corolla also has racing pedigree in Australia as well, with class victories at Bathurst in the late 60s and 80–90s.
Full Australian specifications and pricing for the 2023 Toyota GR Corolla will be announced closer to its local launch, currently slated for Q4 2022.
The GR Corolla will become the fourth GAZOO Racing model offered in Australia following the GR Supra, GR Yaris and GR86.
