Southwark is preparing to mark the 70th anniversary of Victory in Europe Day this week with a formal ceremony at the Soviet War Memorial and retro street parties.
The Mayor of Southwark, Councillor Sunil Chopra, will lay a memorial wreath along with the Chair of The Soviet War Memorial Trust Fund, Philip Matthews, at a gathering of local dignitaries in Geraldine Mary Harmsworth Park on Saturday at 11am.
The news that the Second World War had finally come to an end was announced on May 8 in 1945, and since then that day has been marked annually to remember those who fought and died in the war effort.
In Southwark, the Soviet War Memorial has provided the site for an annual remembrance of the 27 million citizens of the Soviet Union, military and civilian who lost their lives in the war.
“The first Victory Day may well have been an experience of euphoria for all of Europe but we must never forget the sacrifice of the millions of Soviet citizens who paid for our freedom with their lives,” said Cllr Chopra. “I ask that all who continue to cherish democracy in our time join me in standing shoulder to shoulder at the Soviet War Memorial on May 9.”
Today, Borough Market is beginning its VE Day Celebrations by taking everyone’s taste buds back in time to the 1940s with ‘make do’ wartime recipes cooked up by Chef, Lesley Holdship for a street party.
Swing dancers will get the party going from noon and there will be limited edition poppy prints on sale to raise money for the British Legion.

Once cooled, add the squash to a blender with the apple slices, garlic, sage, diced onion, ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ground cloves Roasted butternut squash and apple soup is an amazing recipe for the fall. Roasted butternut squash soup is mixed with sage and curry and topped with fried sage.This recipe gets accompanied with a delicious arugula salad topped with strawberries, goat cheese and toasted pecans then drizzled with a simple vinaigrette Advertisement. Step 2. Combine squash, 2 tablespoons oil, syrup, garam masala, salt, and pepper. Arrange squash mixture in a single layer on a jelly-roll pan coated with cooking spray. Bake at 400° for 45 minutes or until squash is tender. Step 3. Heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat
This is best done in a dutch oven or other large soup pot. Next, cube up all the veggies - butternut squash, apples, and carrots - and combine them in a large bowl. Once the onions are softened and starting to brown, add the rest of the vegetables to the pot, and top with 4 cups of vegetable broth. Add in the spices, stir, and bring to a boil Increase heat to medium high. Add the squash to the pot with the bacon fat and cook until lightly browned, 4 to 6 minutes (resist the urge to stir it too often or it won't brown). Stir in the apple, sage, salt, and pepper and cook for about 4 minutes (you'll see more browning occur on the bottom of the pot than on the vegetables) Instructions. Heat olive oil in a 6-qt. saucepan over medium-high heat; add onion, and cook, stirring often, until lightly browned, about 15 minutes. Add ginger and garlic, and cook, stirring, for.

BENGALURU: The Karnataka High Court has set a deadline for Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) to clean up the city. But various civic agencies face a stiff challenge to achieve it. From garbage to littering, public toilet to sewage lines, the city has a long way to go to retrieve the ‘Clean Bengaluru’ tag.
The city’s population has crossed 1.2 crore, and its Swachh Bharat ranking has slid every time the survey has been conducted. The rankings are given based on parameters like municipal solid waste, sweeping, processing to disposal of solid waste, open defecation-free, provision of public and community toilet seats and many more cleanliness issues.
Kathyayini Chamaraj, activist and urban expert, told The New Indian Express that to improve the city’s ranking, the authorities concerned should meet the parameters set by Swachh Bharat. “Ideally, they were supposed to start by September 1, so they can improve and score better in the next Swachh Bharat ranking survey which is in January 2019. But they have not started yet,’’ she said.
The high court on Thursday told the BBMP to come out with concrete and substantial results with regards to cleanliness by October 31.
However, city cleanliness does not just depend on clearing garbage. The New Indian Express points out a few issues which need urgent attention to make our city clean.
What next for BBMP?
Pourakarmikas who work under BBMP are getting salary directly to their account, thus making no intervention of contractors. However, right from pushcarts to auto tippers and compactors, BBMP is still depending on contractors. It is better to have its own equipment.
Instead of focusing on e-toilets, BBMP should find more space to construct public toilets under private public partnership. Monitor offenders who litter or dump waste on road side by installing CCTV cameras and levy penalty Take help of marshals or recruit more people to monitor garbage dumping as well as picking waste from door.
Enforce waste segregation at source Waste disposal should be decentralised, so that waste will not be transported to different places Monitor people who dump waste to drains Enforce apartments to have their own sewage treatment plant, so that treated water is let out to drains
The city generates close to 5,000 metric tonnes of garbage, of which 40 per cent is wet waste. The garbage crisis worsened in 2012 after Mavallipura residents stopped taking the city’s waste at the landfill sites in their backyards. In 2014, Mandur landfill was also shut after the villagers protested. The same scenario was witnessed by BBMP in Lakshmipura, S Bingipura and other landfill sites. The issue even reached the High Court, and after the court’s intervention, the BBMP notified the rule — segregation of waste at source. But even after six years, city’s garbage issue has not been sorted. Mayor Gangambike Mallikarjun expressed her utter displeasure over waste segregation which slipped from 5pc (two years ago) to 25pc.
STINKING PUBLIC loos
According to national guidelines set by Swachh Bharat Mission (SBM), a city with a floating population of five lakh should have one toilet seat per 100 men and two per 100 women. Bengaluru, with a population of over one crore, has just 2,838 toilets in 473 public toilet complexes. The city needs at least 1,100 more public toilet complexes, says a recent Janaagraha survey. The SBM guidelines also indicate that the city requires one toilet complex for 7km, but in Bengaluru, it is one toilet complex on every 24km stretch. When it comes to cleanliness, the survey says 76 per cent male and 70 per cent female toilets are usable. Only 10 per cent men’s and six per cent women’s toilets have functional flushes.
In BBMP limits, there are 633 stormwater drains (SWDs) which comes to 842km. Of these, 142km are primary and 426km are secondary. The drains’ actual capacity is to hold 80mm of rain. But due to encroachment, this has reduced to 35-40mm.
Rapid urbanisation and civic agencies’ apathy, especially on the city outskirts, have led to
sewage lines from apartment complexes ending in these drains. Moreover, garbage dumped by people leads to inundation of these drains even after moderate rains. The garbage water presents not just an ugly picture, but the smell is unbearable too. The infamous Bellandur and Varthur lakes get their water from such drains.
After the High Court intervention, the city’s walls are free of posters. However, in a few places bills are still seen. Furthermore, these walls which were painted some years ago by artists are slowly starting to fade off, making it look ugly. One of the worse public practices is pan beeda stains on walls, especially at market places, due to the public’s rampant habit of spitting carelessly. “These kind of practices need to change with the people’s mindset. It is unfortunate that people who work at these places spit pan and contribute to the lack of hygiene,’’ an official from BBMP said. Another practice which lends to the defacing of walls is that of it being used as public urinals.

No Web Memo
08/15/2017 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – EXPNOCHILD
Exam Type BEHAVIOR
KNOWN HISTORY: Simba was brought in as a stray, so we cannot speak to his behavior in his previous home. MEDICAL BEHAVIOR: was nervous, low, tense, with ears back but tolerated all medical handling ENRICHMENT NOTES: 08/13/17 Lying In back of kennel with a tense body. He comes forward to sniff my hand and allows petting along his head, leaning in gently. He turns his head and hisses when my hand passes along his back. 08/14/17 Sitting crouched in back of kennel. Makes eye contact and hisses as I open the kennel door, ears flattening down. I give him a treat which he eats, then click and reward him each time he comes forward and sniffs my hand. I stop the session when he hisses and swats towards my hand. This is after about a minute of clicker training. He’s had enough. Tolerates petting with the bear-claw while retreating towards the portal with a low body, tail down. Turns head and hisses when pet along the back, paw raising. 08/15/17 Hiding underneath the bogus paper. Shifts around when spoken to softly; doesn’t come out. He flinches when the door opens and retreats to the other side of the double kennel. Low body posture, tense & alert. His ears flatten and he starts breathing more rapidly when I extend my hand forward. He squints when touched and tolerates petting on his head as long as you go slow. He watches me closely and follows my hand when touched along his back. Appears very uncomfortable & hisses when he’s had enough . Needs a hidey box or kuranda bed. ACTIVITY LEVEL: Laid back VOCAL: Quiet CHARACTER TYPE: Skittish POTENTIAL CHALLENGES: Fearful – Simba has displayed fearful behavior during their stay in the care center and may dislike certain types of handling. A fearful cat will feel more relaxed when given options, so provide him with the chance to move closer, investigate, or interact with you. Be sure to offer incentive such as treats or play time whenever the cat makes a small positive step. Please speak to an adoption counselor for additional information on methods to desensitize your cat to their fear stimulus. RECOMMENDATIONS: Experienced, adult home only – Simba tolerates attention and petting but may be fearful or stressed in the shelter, and may be intimidated by small children. He may be a little more independent, and may need time to warm up to his new home. Due to the behaviors seen in the care center, we feel that this cat will do best in an experienced, adult only home.

Stan Druckenmiller, one of the best performing hedge-fund managers of the past three decades, as well as a Bowdoin College alum, has a warning for the youth of America: Don’t let your grandparents steal your money.
Druckenmiller, 59, said the mushrooming costs of Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid, with unfunded liabilities as high as $211 trillion, will bankrupt the nation’s youth and pose a much greater danger than the country’s $16 trillion of debt currently being debated in Congress.
“While everybody is focusing on the here and now, there’s a much, much bigger storm that’s about to hit,” Druckenmiller said in an interview on Bloomberg Television’s “Market Makers.” “I am not against seniors. What I am against is current seniors stealing from future seniors.”
Unsustainable spending will eventually result in a crisis worse than the financial meltdown of 2008, when $29 trillion was erased from global equity markets, Druckenmiller said. What’s particularly troubling is that government expenditures related to programs for the elderly rocketed in the past two decades, even before the first baby boomers, those born in 1946, started turning 65.
Druckenmiller stopped managing money for outside clients in 2010 after three decades in the business, including more than a decade as chief strategist for billionaire George Soros. From 1986 through 2010 he produced average annual returns of 30 percent, one of the best long-term track records in the industry.
“The seniors have a very, very powerful lobby,” Druckenmiller said. “They keep getting more and more transfer payments” from younger generations through what’s essentially a pay-as-you-go system.
In 2011, Social Security, Medicaid and Medicare accounted for 44 percent of the government’s $3.7 trillion in expenditures, up from 34 percent in 1990, according to statistics compiled by the government’s Bureau of Economic Analysis.
There were 40 million people ages 65 and over, according to the 2010 U.S. Census, the year before the first baby boomers hit retirement age. By 2020, that number is expected to grow to 55 million, according to the Department of Health and Human Services.
As the elderly population rises, the number of workers who pay into Social Security is dropping. By 2030, there will be about two workers per retiree, down from 3.4 workers in 2000, according to the 2004 book “The Coming Generational Storm” by Laurence Kotlikoff and Scott Burns. If a 3-year-old born today is taxed at the same rate as today’s working population, he will get less than half of the benefits that seniors are getting now, Druckenmiller said.
The usually press-shy Druckenmiller said he chose to speak out now because he hadn’t done enough before the financial crisis.
As early as 2005, he said, he forecast the impending real estate crisis and its effects on banks “backing all those silly instruments.” He met with a couple of policymakers and a representative of the Congress at the time, and also spoke at the Ira W. Sohn Investment Research Conference in New York.
“I had my 30 charts with colors and pictures and laid out for them why I thought it was going to be a huge, huge problem for the U.S. economy and the U.S. financial system,” he said in the interview.
Today he sees an even bigger reason for concern because of the government’s massive unfunded liabilities. He also sees trouble with what he calls its trickle-down monetary policy.
The Federal Reserve’s decision to hold interest rates near zero and buy $85 billion of assets a month is pumping up the stock market, all with the hope that rich people will spend those gains, and that money will trickle down to the rest of the country.
Stocks may continue to rise for a while because companies are buying back shares and retail investors are coming back to the market in search of returns, he said. But the gains probably won’t last.
“The chances of this being a new bull market like 1982 aren’t high because we’re not attacking the crux of the problem, which is too much leverage and too much debt,” he said. “I don’t know the timing of when the markets will respond to this, but it will happen.”
Druckenmiller said his next step is to talk to young people directly, including at his alma mater, Bowdoin College in Brunswick, Maine.
“Look at our young people who are obsessed with the environment,” said Druckenmiller, who sits on the board of the Environmental Defense Fund. “They are looking at the consequences of our actions 50 to 60 years from today.”
His goal is to get them to have the same far-sighted reaction to their economic future.
“With the proper education and with proper voices out there, we could have 40 million kids marching down to Washington.”

"If you don't have a label, you don't exist" .. undiagnosed patient with chronic condition.
Persons with some conditions that don't get a medical diagnosis can feel lost in the Medical Industrial Complex grinder, so they try to avoid it and often enter through the "wrong door". Starting with their chiropractor, massage therapist or neighbor who is an EMT, they get referred or go from doctor to doctor until they finally might get a pamphlet for a pain management center from someone in the third ED they enter in a two month struggle with "spells", "seizures" or muscle spasms.
After four months of back injections at the pain center, they come in for a post air travel ear pain and we may get to hear the story of their misery adventure. The eustachian tube dysfunction causing the ear pain after air travel is a chip shot for the family doctor who gets curious when the patient says, "while I'm here, can I get a refill on my Vicoden?"
The time allocated for their acute illness is 15 minutes, not including time with check in, MA for vital signs and clarifying their chief complaint, but including time with physician and prescriptions, forms, referrals, and the usual doctor's office stuff. It is already gone at the moment the word Vicoden crosses their lips. The family doctor knows that it'll take another 15 minutes to clarify how and why our patient is taking an opiate without our involvement. How do we clarify that we don't have the time to get the history and physical examination to arrive at an opiate level decision for the problem they decided not to involve us in until they accidentally came in for the ear pain. The "incidental" issue is about four times more challenging to effectively explore, diagnose and treat than the ear pain.
Will our curiosity pull the family physician into making the next patient wait another 15 to 30 minutes (confusion sometimes abounds with the self referred chronic pain person who doesn't believe in "citizenship" in the medical system)? Or will the FP comfortably respond to the request with, "I'm happy to explore that with you in another appointment, since we're out of time and opiate prescribing implies a complex situation with added risks."? Stay tuned. Stay Curious.
"Curious George" sees another patient scheduled for an acute visit: Patient called this morning for a visit today acutely ill with sinus pain (see other blogs noting that Dayton, OH area is the worst allergy city in America- Numero Uno for total allergic mucous per capita), and moans a bit when describing pain in face and right ear for 3 days off and on. Now they have coughed up some yellow mucous (Yes, it is the "Yellow Victory" noted in one of my April blog posts) and wish relief for sinuses, ear and upcoming Thanksgiving holiday with family (is it going to get worse? Am I going to get pneumonia?)
After my examination of the affected areas,sharing my perspective on diagnosis and ideal treatment and answering questions, the moaning stops and my patient energetically asks, "can you take over prescribing my Wellbutrin, I don't think I need a psychiatrist any more?" I notice the moaning somewhere again, oops-it's me. When is your next appointment for your diabetes, hypertension and acid reflux? "I don't have one." States the patient who agreed to have an appointment for those conditions two months from when she saw our family nurse practitioner four weeks ago. The room feels too warm. "Excuse me a second while I check the heat control right outside the door, it feels too hot in here, I said warmly."
"Doctor, your next patient just called to reschedule, her mother is having a stroke". I turn the heat down two degrees, re-enter the room with renewed energy and curiosity. I think, I wonder how many problems my patient will drive through this visit if I just go with the flow, Wellbutrin and all. SEVEN! We had seven diagnoses and four more prescriptions and a blood test conquered before I started to close by noting the number of problems we've dealt with in the time allotted for the acute visit plus the rescheduled patients time.
Sometimes I feel like Curious George and get carried away with curiosity about people. They are all interesting and different, but I have to remember the flow of the schedule and how to relate to acutely ill persons and differently to chronic disease management folks (different rhythm, flow and focus). The patient agreed to schedule a chronic problem visit for the other four problems that I deferred. We could have done ELEVEN problems, we get paid as if we handled four at the most. So my curiosity gave away payment for treating three problems or so. Not the best behavior for the business side of the practice, which is squeaking.
We love our patients and the interaction with them. Sometimes that doesn't balance well enough with the financial survival side of things in family medicine. Now we face the planned Medicare reimbursement reduction again for the fourth or fifth time this year (21.2%) soon to be followed by a 5 or 6% reduction in reimbursement in 2011. The other four times, Congress extended current payment levels at the last minute or retroactively when in May (or was it April or June?) they passively instituted the cuts for two weeks before reinstating the former reimbursement, which is 2001 levels of reimbursement.
All notes on Medicare Advantage Plan patients are reviewed by an outside reviewer, so we do a lot of copying so they can tell if we're defrauding the government. Patients covered by Medicare are generally older and have more complex problems per visit than any other patients, but their reimbursement per problem is generally less than all other patients. And we expect the reimbursement to be slashed. Hmmm, should I try to recruit more Medicare patients? How curious am I?
We have concerns about _______ (insurance) company and we're not sure what our relationship with them will be after January 1, 2011. This sign is in all our exam rooms and our waiting room with the name of an insurance company in the space where the blank is. Some times one company or another scares us with their behavior and we drop back or out of a business relationship with them. It's a sign of the times. Hopefully, we're not curious enough to go out of business financially by relating to the wrong folks. Stay tuned. Stay Curious, just like George.

IT wasn’t a classic by any means but Edinburgh Rose held their nerve to defeat Sandys 5-3 on penalties in the East of Scotland Cup final at Almondvale after 120 minutes of stalemate.
The all-LEAFA clash certainly failed to live up to the pre-match billing but the jubilation etched on the faces of the Rose players after Euan Bisset converted the fifth and decisive spot-kick was there for all to see as club secretary Les Woolard explained. “We’ve played every match in this competition away from home so we deserve it.”
The Sandys players were hugely frustrated as they struggled to make much of an impression in the opening 30 minutes with only Robert McKenzies’ snap-shot from James Reilly’s cross causing any concern for Rose keeper David Sorley. Rose came closest to breaking the deadlock on 61 minutes. Stuart Morrison received a pass on the right touchline before cutting in and delivering a cross which rolled along the Sandys crossbar and out of play on the far side – a real let off for the Craigmillar outfit.
The skilful Robert McKenzie then weaved himself beyond a couple of Rose defenders before cutting the ball back that just evaded the right boot of the outstretched James Reilly in the six-yard box.
David Aitkenhead then supplied a neat pass through to the unmarked McKenzie, but the winger’s effort was too direct and Sorley gathered with ease.
Raymond Walker was close to sealing cup glory for Rose in the dying stages of normal time when he headed just wide from David Brogan’s cross.
Both sides made changes during extra-time but without a breakthrough. Rose were decisive from the spot as Jamie Stewart and Murray Milne converted before Sandys’ Clarkson saw his penalty saved by Sorley.
Gary Hill and Scott Brown continued Rose’s 100 per cent success from the spot with Osborne and James McWhinnie keeping Sandys’ hopes alive.
However, Bisset stepped forward to send his effort into the bottom left corner to spark wild celebrations.
Edinburgh Rose: David Sorley, Scott Wallace, Paul Dunlop, Jamie Stewart, Euan Bisset, David Brogan, Jon Laidlaw, Raymond Walker, Mark Young, Stuart Morrison, Gavin Cattanach, Craig Stewart, Gary Hill, Murray Milne, Scott Brown, Owen Maxwell.
Sandys: David Courtney, Ian Crease, Callum Gallagher, James Reid, Andrew Dailly, Dale Miller, Michael Osborne, Terry Carlin, James Reilly, David Aitkenhead, Robert McKenzie, James Clarkson, Liam Todd, James McWhinnie, David Milne, Thomas Crease.


Your Turn: Feb. 19
A tweet too far
Frankly, I was shocked. I assumed that Attorney General William Barr had put the Justice Department under the president’s thumb as firmly as Majority Leader Mitch McConnell had put the Senate.
A short review: The Justice Department was accused of reversing itself on recommending a prison term of seven to nine years for Donald Trump’s pal Roger Stone after Trump tweeted his displeasure, saying he thought the recommendation was a “disgrace” and “a miscarriage of justice.”
Barr responded by saying, “I think it’s time to stop the tweeting about Department of Justice criminal cases.” He went ever further by saying that he would not be “bullied” by anyone.
Was Barr’s rebuke of the president a sincere attempt to restore independence to the Justice Department, or was it a way of saying that Trump’s tweets were making it harder to corrupt the federal justice system?
When I heard McConnell say the president should listen to Barr, I began to feel it might be the latter.
Re: “Have Trump’s back,” Your Turn, Feb. 8:
This president can herd a mob pretty well, but he is a total misfit as an authentic leader of a great country.
What kind of person could utter the words he spewed in the “Access Hollywood” tape?
This upcoming election doesn’t seem to be between the Republicans and the Democrats. I’ve been through those kinds of elections many times, usually voting for the Republicans, beginning with Eisenhower.
This election seems to be between logic and its opposite; between decency and its opposite; between freedom and its opposite.
Russia against Biden?
The Biden campaign is collapsing. Could it be Russia does not like him?

Stargirl definitely had more life in it, with plans for more stories. Showrunner Geoff Johns has said as much, but it’s clearly obvious watching how much work this finale had to do to feel like a finale. Spoilers follow for Stargirl Season 3, Episode 13, “Frenemies: Chapter Twelve: The Reckoning.”
Courtney (Brec Bassinger) and the JSA find themselves in the fight of their lives against their biggest threat yet.
A lot happens in this episode. There’s a huge fight, lots of tying off loose ends, and an epilogue, and it was probably impossible for it not to feel rushed. With that said, Stargirl managed to finish out its run with most of its loops closed, even if it was done so hastily.
The episode picks up where the last left off–the kids are figuring out that Sylvester has been messing with them and trying to divide them while Pat Dugan has seemingly been buried alive deep in the woods. We also get another peek into some existential horror when we find out that Icicle and the Ultra Humanite revived Sylvester before removing his brain some months ago.
Circumstances bring the kids to a junkyard where they come face-to-face with the possessed Starman, Icicle, and the Mahkent family. A monster of a fight ensues that in itself has tons of plot development. Some of it is fun, some is pretty hamfisted. When Courtney is doubting her link with the Cosmic Staff, Barbara straight up tells her “the staff only works for him because you think it should,” at which point Courtney says exactly that to Sylvester.
Pulling out all the stops
At the same time, this is the fight we’ve been waiting for–it’s a knock-down-drag-out fight between the JSA kids and Icicle, Ultra Humanite, and Dragon King. There’s some of the show’s standard awesome fight choreography, of course, and lots of betrayals. Sofus Mahkent and Beth Chapel come face to face again, and quickly agree that the fight is stupid. Lily Mahkent sees this and threatens to kill her husband, at which point Yolanda intervenes, accidentally causing a car to fall on Lily, leaving only her feet uncrushed. The wicked witch is dead!
When Icicle goes after Courtney, Cameron finally lets himself see the truth, and he joins in for the fight against his father. There’s a shot at one point of Cameron doing backflips in the background, and it’s kind of silly. The show did all of this work to establish Courtney as a gymnast and martial artist before she got the staff. Rick is a brawler, and Beth can only fight when the goggles are helping her. Only Cindy and Yolanda, who also had previous training, can fight at Courtney’s level. So why is Cameron suddenly doing spinning roundhouses just because he got ice powers?
There’s one other nitpick I have for this fight. We see Pat free himself from his live burial, and the next time he shows up, it’s in a fully repaired version of his mech, STRIPE. The show made a big thing out of destroying STRIPE last week, but it doesn’t bother to tell us how he managed to get another one put together so quickly. It’s not the biggest deal but it’s just something that the show normally is smart enough to write around.
Shiv gets justice
The fight goes on for a while and the heroes win one by one; Pat clobbers Sylvester with a rock, giving his thrice-transplanted brain permanent trauma. Cameron blasts his father with a powerful ice attack that seemingly disintegrates him and sends an ice cloud shaped like his face up into the sky. Cindy is fighting her father when Jakeem, being a cheesy, cringe-y teenager, wishes to Thunderbolt that “the most beautiful girl in the world never be bothered by her father again,” turning the ape-bodied villain into a stuffed animal. From here, the show focuses on tying up loose ends.
The team realizes that Sylvester’s brain might still be alive somewhere, and the show cuts to his brain in a vat in a mountain base, screaming on repeat, and that’s pretty horrifying. Courtney visits the Gambler’s daughter, Becky, and gives her his letter. Yolanda calls her mother to tell her the truth about her extracurricular activities. Beth asks her parents to be her sidekicks formally, and it’s the cutest thing because they’re just a family of huge dorks. Rick sheds a tear over Solomon Grundy’s grave, asking why everyone else got a chance to be revived except for him, only for a sickly-pale hand to burst forth from the ground.
Cameron, who had left with his grandfather, returns and asks Courtney if she really thinks she can help him, and they hug. Finally, Artemis Crock finds Icicle, now living in hiding in northern Europe, and traps him on a sticky substance that will burn, as she explains, even on water. Icicle is dead for good, though we don’t get the satisfaction of watching him boil off.
The story closes out with a jump ten years into the future. Stargirl is now Starwoman, and the JSA has had a successful run. Beth and Rick are about to be married. Jakeem calls himself Jakeem Thunder. The Shade is giving a group of people a tour of the JSA’s headquarters and explaining all of this, rather than the show walking us through it. They found Sylvester’s brain and brought him back to life–though we don’t actually get to see any of this.
As he’s explaining, the Flash–Jay Garrick, once again played by John Wesley Shipp–shows up and tells him that they need the JSA’s help. So why is the JSA headquarters a museum? And why is the Shade giving tours like some kind of goofy pageboy?
It’s an ending, at least
The thing is, I don’t mind most of this. Once again, Stargirl had a lot of work to do in finding ways to give us as many satisfying endings as it could considering that the season wasn’t meant as a series finale. The show ends with a title card that says “The End,” and then adds “Never” at the beginning to make “Never the End.” This could be confusing for viewers who aren’t aware that this is a series finale, but okay.
It’s nice that the show got to have some kind of ending–I’m willing to forgive the showrunners a little. At least they didn’t end on the kind of cliffhanger that Legends of Tomorrow did. Stargirl went out somewhat on its own terms, while it was still doing fresh and new stuff, instead of getting dragged out for a half-dozen more increasingly disappointing seasons. When we look at the lackluster endings of so many other superhero shows, Stargirl stands out as one of the better ones.

Dynamic Characteristics Analysis of Brake Pipings 910022
A new analysis procedure have been developed that evaluate a brake system performance based on analyses of the transient characteristics and frequency characteritics in the brake piping. Using this procedure, analyses were made of the effect of ABS operation on brake pressure changes and of the influence of the orifice on the pressure transmission characteristics. As an example of a frequency analysis, the pressure transmission characteristics were analyzed when pulse pressure occured in the brake piping as a result of variation in the wall thickness of the brake rotors. This paper presents the results of these analyses and shows the validity of the new procedure through a comparison with experimental data.

'Black Beauty' Summary
The story is narrated in the first person as an autobiographical memoir told by the titular horse named Black Beauty—beginning with his carefree days as a foal on an English farm with his mother, to his difficult life pulling cabs in London, to his happy retirement in the country. Along the way, he meets with many hardships and recounts many tales of cruelty and kindness. Each short chapter recounts an incident in Black Beauty's life containing a lesson or moral typically related to the kindness, sympathy, and understanding treatment of horses, with Sewell's detailed observations and extensive descriptions of horse behavior lending the novel a good deal of verisimilitude.
The book describes conditions among London horse-drawn taxicab drivers, including the financial hardship caused to them by high license fees and low, legally fixed fares. A page footnote in some editions says that soon after the book was published, the difference between 6-day taxicab licenses (not allowed to trade on Sundays) and 7-day taxicab licenses (allowed to trade on Sundays) was abolished and the taxicab license fee was much reduced.

Romeo Beckham steals the show AGAIN in Burberry's fun ad campaign for new bag alongside Edie Campbell and Charlotte Wiggins
It was one of the most high profile modelling moments of 2012. Ten-year-old Romeo Beckham was unveiled as the star of Burberry's Spring/Summer 2013 campaign - and the world cooed in unison.
Now, the fresh new face is back to showcase the luxury label's brand new runway bag.
The latest campaign video sees the adorable young Beckham modelling an array of Burberry's bran new runway bags alongside Edie Campbell, Charlie France and Charlotte Wiggins.
Scroll down for video
Guess who's back: Fashion's freshest face, Romeo Beckham, is back to model the new Burberry runway bag
Donning a selection of metallic Burberry styles and eye-catching neon sunglasses, David and Victoria's boy appears to be having the time of his life in his new modelling role - and it is clear to see why Chief Creative Officer Christopher Bailey said he 'stole she show' during the photoshoot, despite it being his first professional job.
The young star even channels his father's sporty style by wearing a pair of metallic blue trainers in the latest campaign imagery and most certainly inherited David's confidence as he poses next to seasoned Burberry model Charlie France.
While the video opens with Edie Campbell and Charlotte Wiggins posing in the label's iconic trench coats in vibrant red and blue hues, the young fashionista soon makes his mark as he pops out onto the set in an urban cool purple bomber jacket and matching shades.
Cheeky chappy: The 10-year-old larks around on set with fellow model Edie Campbell, the pair wear the luxury label's fresh metallics and matching shades
The handsome 10-year-old grins excitedly with his dimples on full show as the camera zooms in on him and he poses with folded arms and a confident stature.
Looking old beyond his years, but still exuding a youthful playfulness, the youngster can be seen pointing at Edie in a cheeky manner, bringing a smile to her rouged lips.
The boys: Charlie and Romeo pose in a cool stature as Romeo models a traditional Burberry print bag
some debated whether the schoolboy might follow his father into the world
of football, Romeo has made it clear that he's a mummy's boy and has
clearly inherited her natural sense of style.
In the campaign, shot by world famous photographer Mario Testino, the young model shows off a toothy grin as he crouches and giggles on the set.
'This season's campaign lights up with the infectious energy of an amazing young cast of old and new Burberry family,' said Bailey.

There he is: The youngster pops out on set in the new ad campaign for the luxury brand's runway bag
'We had such fun shooting the campaign and I think that comes through in the images, which really reflect the upbeat spirit of the collection,' he added.
The young Beckham, who has clearly started at the top for his first modelling job, seems set to become a key player in the fashion industry just like his mother and is is clear to see just why he was hand-picked as the star of the show.

How can you avoid paying 30% tax on cryptocurrency revenue in India? This is perhaps one of the most pressing concerns for Indian crypto investors since the announcement of a flat 30% tax on earnings from crypto and other virtual digital assets (VDAs). Many investors are still looking for ways to avoid paying taxes. They are falling prey to numerous so-called experts in their effort to save taxes. One of the so-called experts’ tactics is that you can avoid paying 30% tax by investing in foreign currencies.
However, legal experts believe that investing in international exchanges would not allow you to avoid paying 30% tax on crypto revenue. It is critical to realize that a 30% according to crypto tax India, is levied on any profits made by Indian investors from bitcoin or other VDAs. This has nothing to do with the exchanges’ location or origin. While major crypto exchanges are located outside of India, the new 30% tax regime enacted by the Finance Act of 2022 should not be misconstrued with an exchange tax. It is a tax on a trader’s income. Thus, regardless of the location of the exchange, income would be taxable in my opinion because the taxable event is the profit earned through crypto trading for assessees in India. The provision is jurisdiction-neutral, and it makes no difference whether profit is earned in a domestic or foreign exchange.
What if Indian exchanges go global?
The severe crypto tax policy is causing many Indian crypto exchanges and enterprises to relocate their operations to areas like Dubai or Singapore, which have more favorable crypto tax regimes. However, Indian investors should be informed that the 30% tax declared by the Government of India is not based on the exchange’s location. The rule is simple: If you earn money, you must pay taxes.
Investors should keep in mind that the tax structure in India is not based on the location of crypto exchanges. Any crypto exchange providing services to Indian customers with a basis outside of India would not shield Indian investors from the tax regime since the tax regime applies regardless of where the crypto exchange trading takes place.
Rishi Anand, Partner at DSK Legal, believes it is doubtful that Indian investors will receive any tax relief or exemptions even if the crypto exchange on which they trade relocates its operations outside of India.
It is incorrect to claim that anyone may escape the 30% tax by trading on international exchanges using cryptocurrency. According to concerned departments/authorities, this is an attempt at tax avoidance. The aforementioned transaction will fall under Section 115AD of the Income Tax Act of 1961, depending on the facts of each instance; therefore, it is better to be cautious than to be sorry afterwards.
A bitcoin portfolio tracker like BINOCS is a great way to keep track of your assets. It can help you manage your crypto exchange tax and track your investment goals and provide you with pertinent market information. If you’re interested in crypto portfolio tracking, go to the website right now.

How often do you see your doctor when you go to your doctor’s office? Who is actually providing your care? For many people, the answer is a qualified nurse, nurse practitioner, or physician assistant. For some appointments that might be fine, but it is unacceptable for you not to see your doctor regularly.
Consider the Case of My Client
I recently worked on a case and my client had been seeing a certain doctor for years. Usually that helps a case because the longer you have seen a particular doctor, the more weight a judge is supposed to give that doctor’s opinion. That is just common sense.
But in my client’s case I doubt it will help.
Even though she has been treated by this doctor for several years, there were no examination findings (e.g., decreased reflexes, weakness, decreased range of motion, discoloration, swelling, etc.), no x-rays, no MRIs, no CT scans, no stress tests, no EKGs, or any type of test that would demonstrate to anyone (let alone a judge) that the doctor had even thought about the patient for more than a moment. In fact, even though the patient had been to the clinic over 50 times, she had only been examined by the doctor once. All of the other examinations were conducted by a physician assistant. After each brief examination, the client’s pain medications were simply refilled.
In over 200 pages of medical notes, there was nothing indicating any specific limitations or a disabling condition. That is not enough to persuade most judges you are actually disabled.
Make Sure a Doctor Is Involved in Your Case
A nurse (RN), nurse practitioner (NP), or physician assistant (PA) can provide excellent medical evaluation and treatment. But the best medical treatment (and the type most likely to strengthen your disability case) is when the RN, NP, or PA is working closely with your doctor and the doctor remains involved in your care.
If your doctor never examines you, never refers you somewhere for a specialist’s or second opinion, never bothers to obtain an x-ray, MRI, or CT scan, you need to discuss your concern directly with your doctor. Important insight into issues like this is invaluable when applying for your Social Security disability benefits.
Our board certified attorneys have years of experience in working with people with disabilities and therefore can give valuable advice regarding making your disability claim as strong as possible. Please call us today to learn more.

Skaði fastened a venomous snake over Loki’s face, and from it poison dripped. Sigyn, wife of Loki, sat with him holding a basin beneath the dripping venom, yet when the basin became full, she carried the poison away; and during this time the poison dripped on to Loki, causing him to writhe with such violence that all of the earth shook from the force, resulting in what are now known as earthquakes.
…I hate color. My brilliant idea was to stay up late painting Loki french kissing a snake, but my real media skills are in the toilet, so I took a photograph of my painting and painted over it digitally. Sadly, my digital-painting skills are also in the toilet. I wanted this to be all cool and unique-looking, but instead I worry it just looks like every other fanart on the internet.
