As I have written, all of us, Senior Mrs. Stonethrower, Sister Stonethrower, HRH the Queen of Kutch and I are at an inflection point. Do we really like Thai food, however good it may be? The food absolutely assaults your taste buds. The spice with use of chillies, the various herbs – Kafir Lime, Thai Basil, Lemongrass, Garlic, the various rhizomes – Turmeric, Ginger, Galangal, the Fish Sauce, the Dried Shrimp, the Shrimp Paste, the souring agents and the contrasting use of Palm Sugar make, in my opinion, Thai Food rather difficult to eat with any degree of regularity. After the meal at Nahm and Baan Kanitha we had our fill of Thai food. There is just so much of the mix and match Red, Green and Yellow curry with Chicken, Duck, Shrimp, Fish, Pork and Beef that one can eat. Just so much Som Tam and just so much of other salads.
An executive decision was made. We would not eat any more Thai food on this visit but would stick to Chinese food. Being in the Far East, Oriental cooking techniques are in the blood of local cooks. They cut all vegetables on a diagonal, mincing of ginger and garlic comes naturally. The use of Soy Sauce and, horror of horrors, use of Aji No Moto is almost universal. Oriental/Asian ingredients are readily available. The cooks are fully in the know of Asian flavour profiles. So eating Chinese and Japanese food is a sensible thing to do in the East.
We went for dinner to Crystal Jade, which we had visited the last time we were in Bangkok. We were looking forward to the meal. Senior Mrs. Stonethrower was especially excited as she wanted to eat Sweet Sour Pork which she ate as a child at Cantonese restaurants in Bombay. Today, in Bombay you don’t get this dish, no one eats pork and everyone wants spicy food. So she was looking forward to eating some good Sweet Sour Pork. We set about ordering our meal.
To start we had Carrots and Cucumbers rolled in Pork Loin. This was served with a Garlic Sauce. We had ordered this the last time. It was excellent. One bite gave you a mix of delightful textures, the creaminess of the pork loin and the crunch of the carrots.
|Carrots and Cucumbers in Pork Loin|
Senior Mrs. Stonethrowers request of Sweet Sour Pork turned up. Nice, it did taste like the Sweet Sour Pork of the old days. Crunchy deep fried Pork in a tomato sauce based sauce with Pineapple. A tad sweet but nice.
|Sweet Sour Pork|
Next up was another Senior Mrs. Stonethrower request, deep fried Prawns with Wasabi. This was different to the Prawns at Four Seasons. Here the Prawns were larger and the Wasabi sauce was white sauce based unlike at Four Seasons where the sauce was Mayonnaise. Middling and not a patch on Four Seasons.
Also ordered was a Beef with a Soy based sauce with Onion and noodles with superior fungus. So instead of the usual Button Mushrooms, we had some fresh Shitake, some Wood Ear Mushrooms and some other unidentifiable mushrooms. I needed my fix of greens so a Kailan with Garlic rounded of the order. Most dished arrived with a Chrysanthemum Tea Jelly, which I did not have the daring to eat. The ladies all ate the Jelly and were delighted. God bless them and keep them happy!
|Beef Soy and Onions|
|Noodles with Superior Fungus|
|Kailan with Garlic|
|Chrysanthemum Tea Jelly|
On the whole, the food was decent and no dish particularly wowed us. The meal did end up costing as much as a meal in a reasonable restaurant in India - I clarify, Mainland China is expensive – this food was cheaper than Mainland China. I can assure you that it was far superior to anything that Mainland China can serve you.

THE Senate has vehemently jettisoned President Muhammdu Buhari’s Bill seeking to amend the Electoral Act, 2022.
The Bill titled: “A Bill for an Act to amend the Electoral Act 2022 and for related matters, 2022,” was overwhelming rejected by Senators, a development that effectively stopped its second reading.
The Bill was thrown out on Wednesday during plenary
Recall that the Bill had on Tuesday scaled first reading despite a court order stopping the Senate from acting on it.
The President of the Senate, Senator Ahmad Lawan had challenged the Court order saying that the Judiciary cannot in any circumstances stop the Legislature from performing its constitutional duties.
Prior to the commencement of consideration of the Bill on Wednesday, Senator Adamu Aliero, APC, Kebbi while citing order 52(5) of the Senate Standing Rules, urged the President of the Sebate to throw away the proposed action on the Bill.

Netanyahu's government plays with fire, Israeli security official says
A top Israeli security official says the occupation is suffering from a severe multi-level crisis that its enemies are well aware of.
Israeli officials have not yet grasped the scale of the catastrophe that "Israel" is experiencing, an unnamed security official told Israel Hayom.
The official who requested to stay anonymous provided the Israeli media outlet with a detailed overview of the issues which the occupation is going through.
The official said the Resistance groups understand that the occupation is going through a turbulent time, highlighting Lebanon as the biggest threat to Israeli security.
The security official claimed that Hezbollah Secretary General Sayyed Hasan Nasrallah is ready to fight the occupation as he is reminiscent of his pre-2006 self.
He also underlined the significance of floundering US-Israeli relations, claiming that the enemies of "Israel" believe that it has "no back" on which it can depend in case a large-scale war takes place.
Furthermore, the official said that normalization with Saudi Arabia seems a "distant dream."
Regarding the Israeli economy, the official claimed it would shrink by 150 billion Shekel, as high-tech companies will abandon "Israel" adding that US investment in cyber security poses a threat to "Tel Aviv."
However, the official was most worried about the loss of "internal cohesion," as the phenomena of Israeli reservists refusing to volunteer in the army is becoming more prevalent.
He pointed to the fact that 1,300 member reservists and retirees of the Israeli Air Force signed a letter warning that they will refuse to serve in case the judiciary reforms which Netanyahu seeks are passed.
He revealed that the threats made in the letter would actualize if the political command continues to operate in normality, adding that members of intelligence and cybersecurity agencies, as well as those of special IOF units, will follow suit. The official also expects the crisis to spread and affect regular troops and those subject to compulsory military service

Crickets, Ants, Hornworms, Superworms & Other Delicacies
For more pictures, go to Your Permanent Record.
By Kim Underwood
Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Schools
JUNE 11, 2019 – Contemplating a dish that featured tomato hornworms, teacher Jennifer Flanagan said, “I’m terrified of it.”
After all, she knew that, while tomato hornworms are known to be crispy on the outside, they are oozy and gelatinous on the inside.
Flanagan wasn’t going to let that stop her, though.
“I’m going to eat it,” she said. “It’s all about mind set.”
It was Friday June 7 – the day of the annual “Bug Bistro” at Hanes Magnet Middle when, for extra credit, seventh-graders made dishes that might include such ingredients as crickets, ants, grasshoppers, mealworms, scorpions, hornworms, and superworms. (Superworms! Doesn’t that sound appetizing?)
Sixth- and seventh-graders gathered in the gym to watch all four of the seventh-grade teachers – Jennifer Flanagan, Jim Weiss, Neveen Cross, Courtney Haas – and a couple of bold sixth-grade teacher volunteers – Morgan Walters and Patricia Prevette – sample dishes with such names as Red Velvet Cricket Cake, Hornworm Eggroll, Hoppin’ Hummus, and Antipasto (Get it?)
The day had a number of official purposes.
As part of seventh-grade science, students study issues associated with “sustainability.” With so many insects and worms bounding or slithering about the planet, they could offer an alternative to cows and chickens for those looking for handy sources of protein. In fact, in parts of the world, such as Africa, Southeast Asia, and China, Weiss can tell you, insects are already a regular part of some people’s diets.
The morning also served to give sixth-graders a sense of what to expect next year in the seventh-grade. Along with watching the seventh-grade teachers in action, the sixth-graders would hear from current seventh-graders who would make short presentations in which they talked about what they had learned about how best to navigate seventh-grade.
The Bug Bistro was also about finishing up the school year in a fun way.
“Today is part of your end-of-the-year celebration,” Weiss said to the students.
Once everything got underway, there was much hooting and hollering.
At one point during the morning, “Eat it! Eat it! Eat it!” served as a sort of mantra.
For students Aiden Romeo and Christo Papaioannou, the day also provided an opportunity for a bit of sweet revenge.
For an earlier project, Flanagan had not given them the fabulous grade that they were 100 percent certain that they deserved. So, when they baked their Cricket Cupcakes, they made one especially for her that contained 68 crickets. The cupcakes for the other teachers had a more modest number of crickets.
“We decided to get her back – our idea of revenge,” Aiden said.
Flanagan was game and took it on.
Crickets don’t taste that bad, she said. The trouble with crickets, she said, is they don’t break down. You chew and chew and chew. Nothing much happens, and, eventually, you just have to swallow.
In what the current class of seventh-graders could have taken as a compliment, Haas said as she ate that the food this year was even more disgusting than the food from last year.
“This is clearly the grossest food I have had,” Haas said.
There was no question, the students had reached new lows, she said.
Weiss was clearly having lots of fun. He would stand right in front of the students on the bleachers and savor every bite.
Polishing off a long worm, he said with relish, “That was brand new for me.”
Cross took a quiet approach. From time to time, she would hold up one of the signs she had made. One said, “Help Me!”
Walters and Prevette took a quiet approach as well. Just watching them eat, you might think they were simply enjoying lunch in a restaurant. Didn’t mean they were enjoying it all, though.
The sweet potato bread was just fine and the cheesecake was good if you didn’t eat the cricket crust, they said, but many of the items were challenging.
The students got in on the act. Some would come down out of the bleachers and try this or that. Beforehand, Mahala Sherrell had announced that she planned to eat a hornworm eggroll, and, sure enough, once students joined in, she took it on.
From the expression on her face, it didn’t look as it would become a regular part of her diet.
For those wondering where you get such ingredients, it turns out that many of them are readily available online. Amazon offers many of them. Weiss has gone so far with his “sustainability” approach that he has started baking with cricket flour at home.

Treatment for a knee injury depends on the part of the knee that is damaged and the extent of the damage.
Some injuries such as simple strains or sprains are treated with RICE therapy (rest, ice, compression, and elevation). Taking time off from sports and exercise may be enough for minor injuries to heal. Over-the-counter anti-inflammatories such as ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin) or naproxen (Aleve) may help treat the pain and inflammation from these minor injuries.
Knee immobilization or splinting keeps the knee from moving and decreases the chance of further injury. It can help stabilize an injured knee that may not be stable due to torn ligaments. It also keeps the knee from moving to assist in resting the knee.
Chronic knee injuries involving inflammation and bursitis may be treated with anti-inflammatories. Injections of cortisone (a steroid with powerful anti-inflammatory effects) may be helpful in these situations.
More extensive injuries involving torn ligaments, instability of the knee joint, swelling, decreased range of motion, or fractures will require an orthopedic surgeon consultation. In the initial stages of these more extensive injuries, RICE therapy can still be used. Staying off the leg by using crutches or a wheelchair may be advised.
Surgery may be indicated for tears of the ligaments or extensive damage to the menisci. Surgery may also be needed for fractures or dislocations of the knee. Some acute injuries such as those with high-force impact, or multiple parts of the knee damaged, may require emergency surgery.
Most knee surgery can be done arthroscopically, a procedure in which a camera is used and small punctures are made in the knee to insert instruments. Repairs can be done inside the knee without having the open the knee with a large incision. Most arthroscopic surgeries do not need to be done immediately after an acute injury. Some are delayed to allow for decreased inflammation.
After surgery, or if surgery is not an option, physical therapy can be used to strengthen and stretch the muscles surrounding the knee. Physical therapy can also allow for better movement mechanics of the leg and the knee to help prevent future injury.
What exercises are recommended, and what exercises should be avoided during rehabilitation for a knee injury?
During physical therapy for rehabilitation of a knee injury, the patient will be given specific exercises by the physical therapist in order to strengthen and stabilize the knee joint. These exercises include strengthening the front of the thigh (quadriceps), back of the thigh (hamstrings), calf, and hip. Consult your doctor and your physical therapist before starting any exercise program. Your physical therapist should insure that you are doing the exercises properly before doing them on your own.
If you have any pain or discomfort while doing prescribed exercises, see your doctor or physical therapist.
Some exercises that your physical therapist may recommend include the following:
- Quad sets
- Straight leg raises
- Straight-leg raise to the front
- Straight-leg raise to the back
- Hamstring curls
- Heel raises
- Heel dig bridging
- Shallow standing knee bends
The American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons (AAOS) has an exercise guide that includes directions and pictures. Consult your doctor or physical therapist before trying any of these exercises on your own.
Some exercises to avoid following knee injury include the following:
- Full-arc knee extensions
- Deep squats
- Hurdler's stretches
These exercises can further stress already damaged knee joints.
What is the recovery time for a knee injury?
The recovery time for a knee injury depends on the type and severity of the injury. If the injury is significant enough to require surgery and/or physical therapy, the recovery time will be longer.
Simple strains or sprains can last for one to two weeks. More extensive injuries requiring arthroscopic surgery may take one to three months to heal.
Major traumatic injuries to the knee may take up to a year to heal.
Following the doctor's instructions for rest, immobilization, staying off your feet, and avoiding exercise that aggravates the injuries will help speed recovery.
Physical therapy can also speed recovery time. It is important to follow directions of your physical therapist to insure you are doing the exercises correctly and attaining the best results.
Chronic knee injuries that do not require surgery may flare up from time to time. Physical therapy, anti-inflammatory medications, and cortisone injections are used to provide temporary relief.

When Illinois five-star defensive tackle Justin Scott announced he planned to commit on the 31st of January, it looked like he was a lock to make his pledge to Notre Dame.
Just by reading into what Scott was doing — visiting South Bend days before his announcement — observers believed it was almost a forgone conclusion he would commit to Notre Dame and Marcus Freeman.
The Irish, along with Scott’s other finalists, will have to wait a bit longer to find out where the talented defensive lineman plans to play his college football. On Tuesday, Scott went to Twitter and announced he will not announce his pledge in a week and is postponing his “commitment until further notice.”
I’m postponing my commitment until further notice. @IgnatiusFB @CoachMmiller15
— Justin Scott (@juustinscott) January 24, 2023
At this point it’s hard to read what Scott might do, but multiple insiders believed until today that he was headed to South Bend. It’s another roller-coaster recruitment that should seem normal as this point if you follow closely.

Mark Wiseman, who was seen by many as a likely heir to BlackRock Inc. Chief Executive Officer Larry Fink, is now out of a job. The details we have are scant. In a memo, Wiseman explained: “I am leaving BlackRock because in recent months I engaged in a consensual relationship with one of our colleagues without reporting it as required by BlackRock’s Relationships at Work Policy.”
An additional wrinkle: This consensual relationship was also an extramarital affair. Wiseman is married to Marcia Moffat, head of BlackRock’s Canadian division.
Coming on the heels of Steve Easterbrook’s ouster as CEO of McDonald’s Corp. for a consensual relationship with an employee, comparisons are bound to be made. But the two cases are different, and while a line back to the #MeToo movement will inevitably be drawn, let’s be clear: Neither of these cases involve allegations of sexual harassment or assault.
Both cases are about violating company policy – BlackRock’s rule that relationships must be disclosed, and the McDonald’s rule that no boss can date a subordinate, direct or indirect. Companies can’t let senior leaders get away with violating the rules they’re asking their employees to follow.
The question we should be asking, then, is not whether workplace relationships are wrong, but whether HR edicts seeking to control them are a good idea.
Such policies seem to have sprung up like mushrooms after the spring rain of #MeToo. The problem is that that they seek to do away with the “harassment” part of sexual harassment by controlling the “sexual” part. That’s wrongheaded.
In fact, the whole post-#MeToo conversation has focused a little too much on sex. (I suppose it’s natural; we’re only human.) In the aftermath of that movement, I fielded somewhat panicked questions from men about whether it was OK to ask a cute co-worker out for coffee or compliment a colleague’s outfit. Such innocent overtures were never the problem.
Yet in this overheated environment, corporate HR departments seem to have decided that the best way to protect their firms from liability, and perhaps clarify some matters for a few confused men, would be to draw a bright line: No sex with colleagues. Or: No sex with colleagues less powerful than you. Or: No sex with colleagues, or colleagues less powerful than you, unless you tell HR about it. (And what could have a more libido-deflating effect than imagining that particular meeting?)
This all seems needlessly Victorian – and tough to implement besides. When exactly are you supposed to disclose your new paramour to HR? Do you need to ask your boss’s permission before you start flirting? Do you have the “Are we boyfriend and girlfriend?” conversation before or after the “Are we HR official?” chat?
The fact is, Americans work long hours, and lots of us are obsessed with our jobs. The more time we spend at work, the less likely it is we’ll meet someone outside corporate HQ. Estimates vary, but a significant number of people meet their spouses at work.
With work and sex both being fairly central parts of the human experience, it’s inevitable that they’ll occasionally overlap. And it’s really none of HR’s business, though I realize they always like to have a seat at the table.
Moreover, as such assortative mating increases and two-career couples become more common, more companies see recruiting top talent as a double act rather than a solo show. In high-flying careers where relocation is the norm, it’s no longer unusual for organizations to recruit both members of a power couple.
That development represents progress for women, who are still much more likely to be the trailing spouse. If HR departments seek to ban sex, I worry it will curtail this promising development.
HR departments don’t need to ban sex (impossible) in order to ban harassment (imperative). They should focus less on prurient details and more on punitive tactics. Colleagues shouldn’t bully, coerce or browbeat each other, regardless of whether such behavior has a sexual undercurrent. Company policies that clearly delineate what constitutes harassment and protect employees would have a much better result than attempts to track their sex lives.

In the late 2000s, Volkswagen toyed with the idea of a super-efficient vehicle powered by a plug-in hybrid two-cylinder diesel engine. The limited-production vehicle was called the XL1 and it was pegged to be the most fuel-efficient car ever made.
The year 2013 came and then VW Chairman Ferdinand Piech announced a two-pot-powered sports car that’s built for performance. That one was called the XL Sport Concept, and its engine was touted as the world’s most powerful two-cylinder engine.
Unfortunately, that car was stillborn and remained a concept, but Petersen Automotive Museum tries to revisit the sports car’s greatness in a deep-dive video.
Gallery: Volkswagen XL Sport is a quick yet frugal Ducati-powered concept
Sourced from a Ducati 1199 Superleggera, the XL Sport’s reputable V-Twin engine revved up to 11,000 rpm and made up to 197 horsepower (147 kilowatts). While that latter number wasn’t exactly exceptional for sports coupes, we all have to remember that the XL Sport comes with body panels made from carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP). This kept the weight low at a measly 1,962 pounds (890 kilograms) – so light that Petersen Automotive Museum calls it the lightest modern sports car.
That fact allowed the XL Sport to tout performance numbers like a 0-62 mile-per-hour (0-100 kilometer-per-hour) sprint of 5.7 seconds and a top speed of 168 mph (270 km/h).
The VW XL Sport boasted other performance bits such as a dual-clutch seven-speed gearbox, titanium connecting rods, pushrod rear suspension, desmodromic valve gear, ceramic brakes, and various magnesium-alloy components. It also had a pair of wing doors that added pizzazz to the whole package.
Can you imagine the XL Sport Concept as a production vehicle? I know we do and it would have been a solid addition to the VW lineup back then. Then again, that’s impossible now with the automaker’s current foray into electrification. Oh, what could have been.

An event in Brighton tonight (two days after the tenth anniversary of Fashanu's death) will kick off the campaign. It's being addressed by the gay-rights campaigner Peter Tatchell and Justin's co-founder, Jason Hall, and is due to be held at 5 p.m., after the Stonewall equality walk there.
A campaign spokesman says, "The FA, in conjunction with [the gay lobby group] Stonewall and the GFSN [Gay Football Supporters' Network], are fighting anti-gay prejudice on the terraces, looking to stamp out the kind of chants that haunted Justin. But ten years after his death, which the football world refused to mark, there are still no openly gay professional players or managers."
If the former Juventus managing director, Luciano Moggi, is right, there are no gays in football. Anywhere. Impossible. This is what the Pink News article linked to above quotes him as having told an Italian TV network: "I don't know if players are against having them in their team but I definitely am. In the teams where I worked there were never any. I never wanted to have a homosexual player and I still wouldn't sign one.
"I'm old-school but I know the ambience of football, and a gay wouldn't be able to survive within it. A homosexual cannot do the job of a footballer. The football world is not designed for them, it's a special atmosphere, one in which you stand naked under the showers."
Er, yes, well . . .
A 2006 survey found out that 57 per cent of footballers think that soccer is homophobic. The Justin campaign aims to get the FA to observe Saturday, 2 May 2009, as Justin Fashanu Day. It will be asking Premier and Football League players to support Justin Fashanu Day by wearing black armbands and observing a minute's silence before matches.

Sweet and moist, phlegm and cough to nourish the lungs.
Pig lungs fill the lungs, cough, spleen and stomach. For fatigue, diarrhea, diarrhea, diabetes, frequency of urination, hoarding in children. Suitable for lung deficiency, chronic cough, tuberculosis, pulmonary phlegm and blood stasis, qi and blood deficiency, and thin body. Because of the unique physiological effects of pig lungs, there are many folk recipes in China that use pig lungs as a medicine to treat various respiratory diseases. Pig lungs are very tasty, tender and delicious, especially after the fall, people believe in the 'eat lungs and lungs' belief, many people are keen on pig lung soup. Especially for those Cantonese restaurants, “Pig Lung Almond Soup” is the top dish of many restaurants.
Fig is also known as a child, a fairy fruit, a dense fruit, a milk berry, etc., and is a mulberry plant. Fig is both a fresh fruit and a Chinese herbal medicine. 'Compendium of Materia Medica' contains: 'The fig is sweet and flat, non-toxic, the main appetizer, stop sputum, cure the five sputum, sore throat.' The figs are sweet and sweet like persimmon and are non-nuclear, nutritious and comprehensive. It also contains citric acid, fumaric acid, succinic acid, malic acid, propionic acid, oxalic acid, quinic acid, lipase, protease, and various amino acids necessary for human body.
Almonds have a bitter taste. Whether it is sweet almond or bitter almond, it is a seed of different varieties of apricot family. Specific to the South Almond, also known as sweet almonds, South Apricot, which is rich in protein, vegetable fat, moisturizing and nourishing the skin to nourish the skin. Because it is rich in vitamin E and unsaturated fatty acids, it can moisten the lungs and relieve asthma, stimulate the appetite, and moisten the large intestine. Therefore, patients with lung disease, diabetes, high blood pressure and high blood fat can benefit from good health if they can eat for a long time. . The south almond is large and flat, and the almond skin is light in color, and the taste is not bitter and non-toxic. Its taste is slightly sweet and delicate, and it can be eaten raw. The sweet almond snacks that are generally sold in the market are made of South almond. At the same time, in addition to soup, South almond can also be used as a raw material to join cakes, cookies and dishes.
Dried lily has a high medicinal value. Detoxification, Lika Jianwei, Lishixiaoji, Ningxin Anshen, promote blood circulation and other effects. Indications for labor, hemoptysis, vain and convulsions have special effects on treating lung collateral diseases and health and anti-aging. According to pharmacological studies, dried lily has the effect of raising white blood cells, so it has a good effect on a variety of cancers.
Heat the above ingredients for two hours and season to drink.
The original pig lungs should not be cut open, flushed into the water through the atmosphere tube, and then squeeze the lungs to squeeze out the water, so repeated several times until it is clean; then cut into pieces and fry them in a small pot until the water is ready for use.

Strengthening routine immunization is a pillar of the polio eradication strategy.
High routine immunization coverage establishes a strong base for population immunity to prevent polio outbreaks and builds a sustainable platform to introduce the Inactivated Polio Vaccine (IPV) and deliver other lifesaving vaccines.
In polio endemic countries, the virus persists in marginalized populations, and in areas where health systems and immunization services are largely non-existent or ineffective in reaching the eligible population and oversight and management are weak.
These countries also contain many of the world’s under-vaccinated children

Federally "Indict" Merck Executives...
Opinion by Consumer Advocate Tim Bolen
Friday, December 3rd, 2004
We need a health care "Nuremberg..."
Shortly after South Carolina MD Jim Shortt was falsely accused of killing a female Multiple Sclerosis (MS) patient this year, supposedly by applying a Hydrogen Peroxide IV to get rid of viruses and bacteria, armed Federal, State, and local law enforcement agents, in almost a "Waco style" assault team, donned their body armor, their mirrored sunglasses, activated their Public Relations teams, and screamed and battered their way into Shortt's West Columbia, South Carolina clinic. With guns and warrant on hand, they seized everything in sight.
Although medical literature clearly shows that Hydrogen Peroxide IV, to get rid of viruses and bacteria, has been around for over ninety (90) years, and records show that over a million treatments have been made, with NO DEATHS, ever recorded, the mere "allegation" of death, false that it was, and made by an elected official with no medical training, caused a massive assault by US law enforcement.
Now let's get real here. It looks to me that US law enforcement has a "policy" here of "zero tolerance" for death by a faulty health treatment. If that's the case, than I think we should be soon watching a humungous raid of Big Pharma giant Merck. For Merck, by US FDA investigation, has killed over 55,000 people with its Vioxx drug alone..
We learned from the US "Enron scandal," that we must hold industry leaders personally responsible for their actions - and that criminal indictments are an absolute necessity.
Columnist Arriana Huffington wrote an excellent article published in the New York Times November 24th, 2004 called You Want A Moral Issue? How About Drugs That Donít Kill?.
She was talking about Big Pharma giant Merck's killing of 55,000 people with their deadly drug Vioxx. About that she said "there ought to be a special place in hell for corporations that show such a wanton disregard for human life."
55,000 people died, and I haven't heard a word from Attorney General John Ashcroft's office about raids on Merck's offices, pending arrests, property seizures, warrants, injunctions, seizures of products, bans on products sold in this country, etc.
We lost 3,000 people in the attack on the World Trade Center towers in New York City September 11, 2001. We've lost another three thousand in the counter-attack on terrorism, including the massive assault in Iraq. That's about 6,000 deaths total. Merck knowingly killed 55,000 people with Vioxx alone - and we haven't even looked at what else these drug lords peddle - our FDA is so owned, and disabled, by Big Pharma, that investigations ARE NOT LIKELY.
Using US law enforcement's "guidelines" for "zero tolerance," I fully expect, and DEMAND an immediate raid, guns drawn, body armor in place, mirrored sunglasses nosed, with full media alert, of EVERY Merck office worldwide.
We need immediate seizure of every Merck document ever initiated. We need an immediate seizure of every Merck product offered in the United States. Every Merck executive's home needs a raid. We need to immediately ban every Merck product sold in the United States, pending investigation, and alert the medical profession.
You think I'm jesting? I'm not. Merck knows "the worst" is coming. One of my sources tells me that Merck, a few weeks ago, awarded its top 250 executives "golden parachute" retirement packages that would supersede the financial collapse of Merck.
And, it was those executives who were ultimately responsible for all those deaths. We can't let them head for Argentina with submarines full of Art and gold...

In conjunction with the Tokyo Game Show this September, Namco is holding an illustration contest for fans of its popular Tales RPG series. On the two public days of the show, September 21 and 22, amateur artists may bring their creations to the Namco booth for a shot at winning an assortment of impressive prizes.
While supplies last, all entrants will receive a Tales of Destiny 2 clear file featuring the art of character designer Mutsumi Inomata. The grand prizes, however, are five copies of the Tales of Destiny 2 script, each autographed by the voice actors playing the main characters. Winners will be announced in December, and their works displayed on Namco's web page.
IGN's editors, possessed as they are of minimal artistic talent, will not be entering, but this is one contest any of our readers could enter...providing they could find a way to Tokyo in a month or so. Either way, look forward to coverage of all of Namco's Tales festivities when our correspondents reach the show.

This bolt in upgrade intercooler is designed to suit the 2007 - 2014 Hyundai i-LOAD and i-MAX.(iload)
The factory intercooler on these vehicles have a common problem of splitting/cracking end tanks due to their plastic construction. This upgrade kit is specifically designed to replace the small OEM cooler, and not only does it provide in increase in size and flow, but it also has TIG welded tanks, and full aluminium construction. This gives substantial increases in reliability.
Please allow 5-7 business for manufacture + 1-2 Days delivery if the intercooler is not in stock.


2018 Volume 11 Issue 3 Pages 273-282
In this paper, the influence of the continuous random variation of the flow velocity on hydrodynamic characteristics of airfoil 791 was discussed, and a robust design optimization method was proposed to reduce the influence of uncertain factors on the stability of hydrodynamic performance. Firstly, Bezier curve was used to parameterize the suction side of the airfoil, and its thickness was controlled by four points, which was then taken as the optimization variables. Secondly, the criterion of robustness was given, and then a robust mathematical model was established. Finally, two objective functions of robust optimization were gained on the basis of uncertainty analysis with surrogate model. Combined with multi-objective genetic algorithm, a robust optimal solution with better hydrodynamic characteristics was obtained. The results showed that compared with original case, the thickness near trailing edge altered more smoothly, the resistance and surface wave intensity were obviously decreased, and the maximum reduction of drag-lift ratio and wake unevenness were 6.89% and 25.04% respectively, which contributed to the improvement of wake quality. The change of surface pressure and resistance coefficients were also more stable under the variable inlet flow velocity conditions, and then the robustness was strengthened accordingly. In conclusion, the robust design optimization can obviously improve the hydrodynamic characteristics of the airfoil while reducing the sensitivity to uncertain factors, meanwhile, it can provide better stability during the operating process.

That’s because the Azzurri, who have won four World Cups and are almost always considered to be one of the favorites at major soccer events, has failed to qualify for next year’s tournament and won’t be going to Russia.
“I’ll still watch the World Cup when I can, but I’ll give precedence to going out for dinner, drinks, to the cinema and going to the beach and playing sports outside,” said Marco Angelelli, a 31-year-old shop assistant from Salento in southern Italy who now lives in Milan.
“I’ll watch if I’m with friends who are watching, but otherwise, I won’t really care,” said Giancarlo Esposito, a retired architect from Milan.
“If your team isn’t in it, what sense is there?”
Local newspapers spared no words yesterday in describing their failure to make the finals for the first time in six decades.
Theheadline read Fine (The End) — in big, block letters, while Turin daily wrote “Apocalypse Azzurra.”
Rome dailycalled it “A national shame,” and Rome sports daily said “Everyone out.”
“It’s one of the darkest pages of our sporting history,” Gazzetta editor Andrea Monti wrote in a front-page editorial yesterday. “A brutal slap beyond the incalculable harm for a country that lives and breathes soccer.”
Widely criticised for his tactics, the Gazzetta gave Italy coach Gian Piero Ventura a lowly three out of 10 in its famous report card for the game.
“He will go down as one of the worst national team coaches of all time, if not the worst,” the report card read.
Former Italian soccer federation and Italian Olympic Committee president Franco Carraro estimated that the failed qualification will cost the country between €500-600 million. “If you add the indirect impact, it will definitely exceed a billion,” Carraro said.
Italian daily La Repubblica noted that purchases of televisions in Italy increased 4% when Italy competed in last year’s European Championship. If Italy had qualified, the cost of domestic TV rights for the World Cup were estimated at €175 million. Now they could be worth half that.
The national team’s contract with shirt supplier Puma, worth €18.7 million per season, will also likely be revised.
Already a nationwide probe is underway as to the reasons for failure to qualify. The best players in the world go elsewhere? The best coaches in Italy emigrate? The stadiums around the country are falling apart?
“It’s time to make choices that perhaps in the past people didn’t have the courage to make,” Italian Sports Minister Luca Lotti said.
“This world needs to be revised from the youth levels on up to Serie A.”
The start of Italy’s decline can be traced back to 2006 — the year Italy won its fourth World Cup. That was also the year of the “Calciopoli” refereeing scandal that saw Juventus stripped of two Serie A titles and relegated to the second division as punishment.
A number of top players left Juventus after the scandal and the “Old Lady” of Italian soccer required half a dozen years to recover.
In the meantime, England’s Premier League emerged as the sport’s richest domestic competition while Italy was eliminated in the first round of the last two World Cups.
Any Italian coach who moves to England raves about the facilities and the packed stadiums. It’s the complete opposite of Serie A, where most of the big squads play in dilapidated stadiums that were last renovated for the 1990 World Cup — the last major tournament Italy hosted.
Of Italy’s six biggest clubs — Juventus, Milan, Inter Milan, Roma, Lazio, and Napoli — only Juventus has a new stadium that it operates on its own.
Complicated laws and a lack of funding have prevented clubs from building new stadiums. In 2014, the American owners of Roma presented plans for a new stadium but haven’t been able to break ground yet due to a series of bureaucratic delays.
Although Italy is no longer the draw it was once for the best in the world, it still has a large contingent of foreign-born players. And that is stunting the development of the country’s talent.
Juventus have been the Champions League runners-up in two of the past three seasons, but the Turin squad has heavily relied on Argentinian forwards for its success: Carlos Tevez, Gonzalo Higuain, and Paulo Dybala.
Federico Bernardeschi, one of Italy’s most talented young forwards, joined Juventus in a €40 million transfer this season but has been largely relegated to the bench. So it’s no wonder that Italy coach Gian Piero Ventura used Bernardeschi only in a bench role in the scoreless play-off second leg against Sweden on Monday.
The only Italian who starts for Serie A leader Napoli is winger Lorenzo Insigne, who was also reduced to a bench role under Ventura in a widely criticised decision.
With captain Gianluigi Buffon, defender Andrea Barzagli, and midfielder Daniele De Rossi having announced their international retirements, Italy needs a new generation of Azzurri to step up. And the younger players need space in an improved Serie A to become competitive.

Longtime local politician Scott Nelson is seeking re-election on Williams Lake city council.
“There is so much going on in our community and I am excited to be a part of a changing community that is only getting better,” Nelson said.
Nelson has recently served two consecutive terms on council, was mayor for three years and has served for a total of 20 years.
He has lived in Williams Lake for most of his life and said he is passionate about development.
“Housing is a big, big issue in our community and we need significantly more housing in our community. It is a top priority.”
As in the last election, Nelson is pushing for the opening up of the head of the lake and finish the trail system network off to the old beaches on the south side and “putting the lake back into the community.”
Describing Williams Lake as a strong community he said Williams Lake has done very well, with lots of development occurring and more coming in the next several years.
“The entire world is changing right now and it has major impacts on all of our resources. The quicker we can continue to become more diversified and self-reliant as a community the stronger we are going to be.”
Nelson said he will be backing Walt Cobb’s bid to get re-elected for a third consecutive term.
“I think under the leadership of Mayor Cobb we have been very successful as a community. If Walt wasn’t going to run for mayor I was going to put my name forward. We’ve been through fires, floods and COVID and Williams Lake always comes out on top.”
Nelson noted in all the years he has been sitting around the council table, there has been more unanimity and positive things taking place in Williams Lake under Cobb than in previous administration.
“A lot has been accomplished. We paid our debt down from $16 million to $7.9 million.”
Roads continue to also be a top priority, he added.
“We put more asphalt down this year than any previous year. It’s exciting. Trail networks, bicycling, lots of good positive things out there.”
Nelson filed his nomination papers on Thursday, Sept. 2.

A Machine Vision Approach for Estimating Motion Discomfort in Simulators and in Self-Driving Vehicles
Motion discomfort represents a persistent problem in driving simulators and is expected to be as problematic in highly automated vehicles. This problem can compromise data collection and research validity in simulators, and very likely discourage people from riding in automated vehicles; undermining their potential safety benefits.
Monitoring motion sickness can help mitigate its negative effects. However, most of the existing research focuses on physiological research and subjective reporting to quantify motion sickness, which is impractical and does not allow for online monitoring; respectively. Some studies have linked motion sickness to increased yawning. Yet, there is no system to monitor motion sickness in real-time.
This project will develop a machine vision algorithm that monitors facial features of drivers and detect any signs of motion discomfort in real-time. We will use data collected from 36 drivers who participated in an automated simulator driving study that is expected to induce motion sickness.

“I Wanna Be Your Slave” by Måneskin
There’s a lot going on in this song, with the first verse especially being quite detailed in terms of the singer’s romantic relationship with the addressee, though primarily, as implied by the title, from an ideological standpoint.
By the looks of things, the most basic message being put forth in the verses is that he is willing to be her everything for the purpose of achieving some ultimately meaningless, i.e. completely noncommittal, sex.
But with that idea in mind, the chorus is a bit unusual, with the singer proclaiming his desire for “redemption”. And to us, that sounds like he wants to achieve a new lease on romance after behaving less-than-ideally in that regard in the past. However, it has been said that what he is actually speaking to in the chorus is the universal need for saving, or something like that.
Meanwhile, as explained by frontman Damiano David, there is a reason why the vocalist refers to himself in so many different characters. To him, this represents “all the facets of sexuality” and that humans don’t necessarily need to “have a single identity”.
And whereas processing all of these ideas within the context of the way they are presented in the lyrics may seem pretty confusing, so it is in the world of hard rock sometimes.
What “I Wanna Be Your Slave” is all about
But what we have been able to ascertain is that Måneskin intended this song to be more about sex than love itself. Indeed telling a romantic interest that you ‘want to be their slave’ and furthermore “sex toy” conjures up images of S&M or what have you.
Also letting someone know that after ‘making them love you’, you intend to ‘leave them’ definitely doesn’t read like true romance.
So once again going back to the title, all philosophical fluff aside, what this narrative seems to boil down to is a vocalist who wants to be sexually used, in a very naughty sort of way, by the apple of his eye.
Måneskin is a band from Italy that we have covered in the recent past, as they took first place at the Eurovision Song Contest earlier in 2021. The name of the song that actually won the competition is Zitti e Buoni. And “I Wanna Be Your Slave” came out via Sony as part of that same album, Teatro d’ira: Vol. I, on 19 March 2021.
Official Single Release
Then a few months after, in July of 2021, it was released as the undertaking’s third single. “Zitti e Bouni” was the second single.
More Facts about “I Wanna Be Your Slave”
Even before being released as a single this song managed to chart. And its overall global performance is making it seem as if Måneskin may be one of the few Eurovision Song Contest winners with lasting commercial appeal.
Indeed “I Wanna Be Your Slave” charted in a solid 30 nations. And all things considered its most impressive showing would be on the UK Singles Chart. Here, it peaked at number 5, even surpassing the performance of “Zitti e Buoni”.
Also this track has been certified in a few countries, most notably going platinum in Italy and Poland. And in light of its success, a remix was released in August of 2021. The said remix features American rock icon Iggy Pop.
Måneskin is made up of bassist Victoria de Angelis, vocalist Damiano David, guitarist Thomas Raggi and drummer Ethan Torchio. Those four individuals are credited with writing “I Wanna Be Your Slave”. And Måneskin also produced the track with Fabrizio Ferraguzzo, the same musician who co-produced “Zitti e Buoni”.
The music video’s director is Simone Bozzelli.
This song is rendered in English, not Måneskin’s native language of Italian. And it is one of only two tracks on Teatro d’ira: Vol. I in which they did so.

Dessert is universally both a luxury and an expression of a culture’s unique culinary skill. Eating a sweet treat after a delicious meal completes the experience for most people. Turkish desserts are often naturally sweet and creatively spiced.
Below are 10 of my own favorite Turkish desserts:
1. Acıbadem kurabiyesi
Literally meaning “bitter almond biscuit”, these cookies are a traditional dessert staple found at most bakeries in Turkey. They are chewy and slightly sweet, and are best served with coffee.
Zerde is a sweet rice pudding that is traditionally served at festivities like weddings, birth celebrations, and religious celebrations.
This sweet cheese pastry can also be eaten for a breakfast or dinner, but it is most popular as a dessert. Kunefe is filled with soft cheese and in the last few minutes of cooking, syrup infused with orange blossom is poured over the top. Garnished with chopped pistachio nuts, this sweet dessert is unique and especially satisfying. It often contains orange food coloring to enhance the syrup’s color.
This is the closest thing you’ll find to an American doughnut in Turkey. These are similar to traditional biscuits but they are then fried, hence the comparison to doughnuts. They are flavored with honey, sugar syrup, or cinnamon and are sometimes sprinkled with sesame seeds.
This popular dessert can be found in many countries in Asia and the Mediterranean. Layers of phyllo dough and chopped nuts are sweetened with syrup or honey, then cut into individual servings. This treat is a delicious end to any Turkish meal.
6. Ekmek kadayıfı
A version of bread pudding that is served with kaymak, a type of sweetened cream; this dessert provides a thick and sweet finish after a traditional Turkish dinner.
7. Sütlü Nuriye
Similar to baklava, this Turkish dessert was born from the supply shortages in the 1980’s. A baklava producer used milk and added hazelnuts instead of pistachios to make a whole new dessert. It is much more perishable than standard baklava but is especially delicious on a summer evening.
Known by many names in various countries, this sweet cake made from semolina and soaked in syrup is a favorite among Turkish cuisine lovers. Orange flower water is often added. Chopped pistachios top this dessert for a rich finish.
This is a unique and delicious dessert that is fun to eat and fun to make! Dried fruits and walnuts are laced on a string and dipped in thick, unsweetened grape must (the squished grape juice that still includes skins and pulp). These strings are then left to dry in the sun. They often look like candles or a sausage due to the grape must’s opaque finish.
Halva is a generic term for a few different types of dense, rich desserts; “halva” literally means “sweet”. There is a flour-based version that is more gelatinous, whereas the nut, butter, and sugar-based version crumbles more easily. Regardless of what kind of halva you find, the sweetness and nutty texture of this dessert will hit your palate just right after a Turkish meal.

Shrink-induced ultrasensitive mercury sensor with graphene and gold nanoparticles self-assembly
- 76 Downloads
Here we report an ultrasensitive trace mercury(II) micro sensor based on heat-shrinkable polymer (polyolefins, PO). The layer-by-layer self-assembly (LBL SA) method was employed to modify mixed gold nanoparticle (Au NPs) and graphene solution on a micro gold electrode with PO substrate. The unique wrinkle structure of the electrode surface and superior properties of modification film enhanced the performance of LBL SA graphene–Au NPs shrink sensor greatly in determination of Hg(II) using anodic stripping voltammetry (ASV): compared with a shrink gold electrode without surface modification, the sensitivity was improved for about 3.7 times from 0.197 to 0.721 μA/ppb; compared with a same-sized sensor without surface modification nor shrink, the sensitivity was improved for over 50 times. This sensor’s detection limit of Hg(II) was achieved as 0.931 ppb with a sensitivity of 0.721 μA/ppb. This simple but highly sensitive sensor can be widely used in applications of on-line environmental monitoring of Hg(II).
The authors greatly appreciate help from Dr. Xiangyang Wei for the fabrication of micro gold electrode.

Britney Spears is headed to Broadway — or at least her music is.
The pop superstar’s catalog soundtracks the musical Once Upon a One More Time, and the show announced on Friday, Dec. 2, that it’s finally headed to Broadway after years of speculation.
The musical’s official social media accounts shared the good news, which quickly excited both theater lovers and superfans of the chanteuse.
Once Upon a One More Time is scheduled to begin previews on May 13, 2023, and opening night is slated for June 22.
The show is headed to the Marquis Theatre, which is the current home of Beetlejuice. Tickets are on sale at the musical’s website.
Once Upon a One More Time focuses on a cast of fairytale characters everyone knows, including Snow White, The Little Mermaid, Sleeping Beauty, Rapunzel, the Princess and the Pea, and star Cinderella.
The women in the story are introduced to Betty Friedan’s game-changing book The Feminine Mystique, which shows them that while they’ve been waiting for a prince to find them and make their dreams come true, there are other paths to happiness.
The musical makes use of 23 different songs from Spears’ discography, including some of her biggest successes such as “…Baby One More Time” (which opens the show), “Work Bitch,” “Circus,” “Oops!…I Did It Again,” “Toxic,” and a megamix of “Till the World Ends,” which closes the entire program.
The setlist also includes Spears’ collaboration with Black Eyed Peas frontman Will.I.Am, “Scream & Shout,” as well as non-singles “Passenger” and the aptly-named “Cinderella.”
Once Upon a One More Time was initially scheduled to premiere in Chicago in 2019, but it was pushed to spring 2020. Sadly, the Covid-19 pandemic canceled that run entirely. Eventually, when it became safe to attend the theater again, the show premiered in Washington D.C. at The Shakespeare Theatre to positive reviews and solid ticket sales.
While Spears wasn’t involved with the development of Once Upon a One More Time, it’s her name and hit singles that power the production.
The timing seems right for the musical to move to the Great White Way, as the singer has officially entered a new phase of her career.
After being released from a conservatorship that lasted more than a decade, Spears recently returned to music with the Elton John collaboration “Hold Me Closer,” which became an instant top 10 smash on charts all around the world. In the U.S., it debuted and peaked at No. 6, while in John’s home country of the U.K., it fared even better, climbing to No. 3.

If you fantasize about sex frequently, masturbate on the daily, and always have an insatiable urge to press the flesh, you might be a woman with a high sex drive. Contrary to what patriarchy would have us believe, this doesn't make you a "slut" or a "dream girl," and it doesn't make you better or worse than a woman with an average or low sex drive. Still, being female and DTF often means you will be judged in both explicit or subtle ways by those around you.
As long as there has been recorded history, there has been the idea that men of any sexual orientation crave sex like they crave air and water. Women's sexual desires, on the other hand, have been demonized if they fall outside socially acceptable bounds. Case in point: hysteria.
Originating in ancient Greece, hysteria was a catch all diagnosis for women that explained a host of things, from anxiety to increased libido. Up until the early 20th century, women could literally be deemed sick if they were horny in a way that was "inappropriate." Although hysteria is thankfully a sexist thing of the past, women with high sex drives still face a certain level of stigma, and are likely to face at least one of the following challenges:
1. Intimidating Their Partners
As the stereotype goes, men are horn dogs, so all they want is get laid. However, if you're a woman with a high sex drive who dates men, the odds are ironically stacked against you. In a study published in the European Journal of Social Psychology, researchers found that women in heterosexual relationships tend to become more confident if their male partner shows increased sexual desire, but the opposite happens for men. According to the authors: "A woman’s high levels of sex drive might be connoted with infidelity tendencies and be thus perceived by men as a relationship threat."
Basically, some straight guys are scared of highly sexual women. This isn't the case for all men, of course, so ladies with amplified sexual interests just need to find a dude (or dudes) who can keep up with them, and who won't judge them.
2. Being Slut-Shamed By Friends And Partners
Women get slut-shamed for their perceived sexual activity and for their actual sexual activity. However, when friends and lovers know you are very sexually inclined, the slut-shaming can reach a fever pitch. This is particularly true if your high sex drive inspires you to engage in casual sex or in consensual non-monogamy, so it's helpful to surround yourself with likeminded people to avoid sex-negative judgement when possible.
3. Having Their Desires Pathologized
Sex addiction is a serious issue, and you should get help if you believe you have a problem. However, what some may call sex addiction, because it transgresses the boundaries of what they view as "normal sex," others may call sexual freedom. Just as women were diagnosed as hysterics for being "abnormally" horny back in the day, women with high sex drives can be called "nymphomaniacs" or "sex addicts" merely because of sexist beliefs about female pleasure. Your desires shouldn't be pathologized by friends and lovers — save that for the medical professionals.
4. Not Being Trusted By Friends And Lovers
As the study cited above suggests, there is a fundamental distrust certain folks feel when faced with a woman who has a high sex drive. However, experiencing an above average libido doesn't mean that person will trample friends and lovers' feelings in order to sate their voracious cravings for sex. It doesn't mean they'll steal your boyfriend or girlfriend, and it doesn't mean they'll automatically cheat on you. An individual's morality has nothing to do with how much or how little they want sex. Sure, a woman's heightened need for sex might make some folks who can't relate a little uncomfortable, but it doesn't automatically make her a cheater or an partner-stealing manipulator.

For the last few years, self-proclaimed “geek designer” Dave Delisle has been making fantastic maps of North America’s subway systems—with one notable difference. The maps are rendered in the style of Super Mario 3, complete with those dancing trees.
Each map is surprisingly usable. From Atlanta’s MARTA to Calgary’s C-Train, each charts metro details in Super Mario iconography, with real-life stations, transfer locations, and terminus stations clearly marked.
While most of his maps keep with the Super Mario 3 theme, San Francisco is done in the style of Super Mario Kart. (Of course, when you can title the map “Super Mario BART,” there’s really no other option.)
