Congressional Democrats take care of their own with Speaker Nancy Pelosi proudly announcing that House staffers will be compensated at a minimum pay rate of $45,000 per year, a figure that will be a significant bump for many young staff members who work long hours.
On Friday, Madame Speaker sent out a “Dear Colleague” letter with the good news, “I am pleased to announce that, pursuant to the statutory authority of the Speaker in 2 U.S.C. 4532, the House will for the first time ever set the minimum annual pay for staff at $45,000.”
In the letter, Pelosi also wrote that the House was “strengthened by the many contributions of brilliant, dedicated and hard-working staff, who every day enable us to best serve the American people.”
“With a competitive minimum salary, the House will better be able to retain and recruit excellent, diverse talent. Doing so will open the doors to public service for those who may not have been able to afford to do so in the past,” she wrote. “This is also an issue of fairness, as many of the youngest staffers working the longest hours often earn the lowest salaries.”
Pelosi said that a 21 percent hike in members’ Representational Allowance “will more than cover this pay adjustment,” adding that “It is highly encouraged that Members use this MRA increase to honor the committed work of your staff members.” A deadline of September 1, 2022, has been set to implement the new pay structure.
Pelosi’s letter also stated that the maximum pay for House staffers will be raised to $203,700 to match the Senate.
The pay hike for House staffers comes at a time when regular Americans are being battered by record gas prices and the worst inflation rate in decades, made all the worse because of rising food costs, a factor that affects everyone, hitting families who are struggling the hardest and have yet to even have a handful of crumbs thrown to them by Pelosi and her fellow Democrats who are in complete control of the federal government.
Twitter users weighed in on the bump in pay for the underlings of the D.C. political elite with some finding it to be outrageous while others whined that it wasn’t enough to offset the high cost of living in the swamp.
Nancy Pelosi wants to pay Congressional staffers $45,000 per year. That would be the career equivalent of a Junior Level Police Officer who makes $48,000 risking his life every day. The woman is a certifiable idiot.#LawEnforcement #Police

While this is great for small towns and cities, it’s minimum wage. You reside in DC, represent SF, expect those staffers to be highly educated dedicated and work at least 50 hour workweeks. $45k ain’t nearly enough, hun.

She acts so smug, like it’s coming out of her own pocket.

Do they have to live in DC on that salary????

MORE TAXES PEOPLE, Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Friday announced that, now require staffers to get paid a minimum salary of $45,000.
I am pleased to announce that, the House will for the first time ever set the minimum annual pay for staff at $45,000,” Pelosi wrote in a “Dear letter
— independent Thinker (@indepen27503448) May 6, 2022
Pelosi also announced that there will be a vote next week on a bill allowing House workers to unionize, “Congressional staffers deserve the same fundamental rights and protections as workers all across the country, including the ability to bargain collectively.”
“The average cost of renting a one-bedroom apartment in Washington is about $2,425 a month, according to Rent.com. And the average price of a studio is $1,942 a month, which over the course of a year, would still represent more than half the new minimum salary for House staffers,” according to the Associated Press.

The KH is expected to ride on the same rear-wheel-drive architecture as the Hyundai Genesis, and while no powertrain details have been confirmed, it makes sense to assume that the Hyundai's 3.8-liter V6, 4.6-liter V8 and 5.0-liter V8 will carry over. Then again, the GT concept was powered by a unique twin-turbo V6, and while it'd be very interesting to see Kia launch this vehicle with an all-new engine not available elsewhere in the Hyundai/Kia portfolio, we won't get our hopes up.
Soon-Nam Lee, the company's overseas marketing director, says that the KH will go on sale in the first half of this year, "showcasing the best of the best of Kia." The car will initially launch in Korea, making its way to all other major markets throughout the year. Well, almost all other markets – Kia's press release clearly states, "There are no plans to launch the vehicle in mainland Europe and the car will not be coming to the UK." Bollocks.

- New tests will support the government’s drive to deliver rapid testing to those without symptoms to break chains of transmission
- New tests can return results in 30 minutes, and are the first British-made lateral flow tests validated for asymptomatic testing
The UK government has secured 20 million British-manufactured rapid coronavirus (COVID-19) tests in a new contract with Derby-based test manufacturer SureScreen Diagnostics. These lateral flow antigen tests produce a result in under 30 minutes and are the first British tests to be validated in the laboratory by Public Health England (PHE).
The SureScreen test will be used as part of the government’s rapid testing programme for those without symptoms, which has seen lateral flow tests deployed across the country to test NHS and care home staff, as well as in targeted settings including schools, universities and to allow key workers to continue their vital work during lockdown.
With up to a third of individuals with COVID-19 not displaying symptoms, broadening asymptomatic testing is essential in finding positive cases who may unknowingly pass on the virus in order to break chains of transmission.
The partnerships being created with companies such as SureScreen also supports the wider resilience of the UK British diagnostics industry. The contract will create 200 additional jobs for Derby residents with roles across the whole production line as well as in the wider UK supply chain.
The tests have already been validated by PHE in the lab and are now in their final stage of validation in clinical trials. The tests have been proven to detect the B117 ‘Kent’ variant of COVID-19, and are already CE marked and MHRA registered. Results for the test at the laboratory validation stage show sensitivity against high viral loads was 97.1% and specificity was 99.9%.
Health and Social Care Secretary Matt Hancock said:
Rapid lateral flow tests strengthen our national response to the virus significantly, helping us to identify the around 1 in 3 people who are asymptomatic and break chains of transmission in our workplaces and communities. It is excellent to be working with a UK firm to deliver millions more of these rapid tests.
I am committed to bolstering onshore UK manufacturing capabilities. The brilliant work done by SureScreen, and the contribution it will make to our rapid testing programme, is another example of the home-grown talent, ingenuity and industry that exists right here in the UK.
It remains absolutely paramount that everyone follows the rules to stop the virus spreading further, and comes forward for rapid testing where it is offered. I thank every single person adapting and working to support and protect the country.
Lord Bethell Minister for Health, said:
From the very beginning of this pandemic we have worked with UK manufacturers to support the resilience of UK diagnostics.
It’s fantastic that UK industry has come together to help us all respond to COVID-19 to help stop the spread of the virus.
I am hugely grateful for the considerable work that has been and will continue to be done by British suppliers, manufacturers and entrepreneurs to support our enormous scale up of testing. SureScreen’s rapid tests will help prevent the spread of infection, while supporting jobs and the UK industry across the country.
David Campbell, Director of SureScreen, said:
We believe our rapid antigen tests can really help in screening people both in the community and in clinical settings. Routine testing is crucial to help business, as well as hospitals and GPs.
We are delighted to be working with DHSC on this project and that our tests have been recognised by the government and its scientists. We look forward to doing all we can to help the UK going forward in 2021.
SureScreen is a member of the UK Rapid Antigen Test Consortium, a growing coalition of industry scientists and manufacturers, who have come together to secure lateral flow tests and manufacturing capability for the UK. A secure supply line for the UK for these tests is vital for ensuring the continuation and expansion of rapid regular testing programmes which, alongside vaccine roll-out, will be key for getting people back to work, education and friends and family.
Professor Chris Molloy, Chair UK Rapid Antigen Test Consortium, said:
The UK lateral flow diagnostics industry has come together with intense purpose and the help of government to generate new UK tests and manufacture them at a scale never considered possible.
Their willingness to leave competition at the door in the national service should be celebrated as yet another example of what the UK can do with shared purpose, innovation and drive. This work lays a strong foundation for how the diagnostics industry as a whole will flourish in the UK to improve our future healthcare.
The kind of large-scale community testing that these tests facilitate is part of the government’s COVID-19 winter plan to identify those who may be infectious with coronavirus earlier in order to break the chains of transmission and keep the virus under control. Alongside the rollout of vaccines, rapid regular testing will be key in time to getting people back to doing the things they love.
Lateral flow antigen tests work by taking a sample from the nose or back of the throat and testing that sample for the presence of antigens, the signature proteins of the virus. They show results visually, in the same way as many pregnancy tests. Antigen testing can tell someone whether they currently have the virus that causes COVID-19, and produce results in under 30 minutes.

I made this shirt just to try something new. It’s based on Simplicity’s 2447 pattern view F. It’s two yards of fabric I found on sale. I originally cut a size 10 but it was so boxy I kept altering it until I found the fit I like without it being too snug. My son saw it and asked if I could make him a shirt cut for a guy and I took that as a good sign.
Anyways, I will be making more shirts. I love the way it hits my hips and the sleeve length is just right.

Covid-19 may soon be treatable with a pill.
In the past six weeks, two drug manufacturers have announced promising clinical research results for their experimental oral antiviral pills and their data will soon be evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration.
The first drug comes from Merck, which partnered with Ridgeback Biotherapeutics on a drug called molnupiravir, an antiviral drug originally developed to treat flu viruses. An FDA advisory committee will meet on Nov. 30 to discuss the companies’ request for emergency use approval. And last week, Pfizer announced the results of its clinical trial of the antiviral Paxlovid and said it would submit its data to the FDA in the coming weeks.
Molnupiravir and Paxlovid, which are designed to be administered as pills, have proven remarkably successful in placebo-controlled clinical trials in preventing hospitalization and death from Covid-19. Experts hope the authorization of the drugs will be an important step towards ending the Covid-19 pandemic.
So how do the antiviral drugs work?
The coronavirus is wreaking havoc on the body by putting itself in cells and hijacking their machines to make copies of itself. The copies then burst out of the cells and invade other cells and spread throughout the body.
Full coverage of the Covid-19 pandemic
Molnupiravir and Paxlovid are both intended to prevent the coronavirus from multiplying, but they use slightly different methods.
Molnupiravir, a type of antiviral medicine called a polymerase inhibitor, works by preventing the virus’s genetic material from replicating accurately. It fools the enzyme (called a polymerase) that is responsible for replicating the virus’s RNA so that it inserts errors or mutations. The mutations are then replicated over and over until there are so many mutations that the virus can no longer survive.
The so-called failure catastrophe method is effective, said Katherine Seley-Radtke, a medical chemist at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County, who specializes in antiviral drug development.
But “it’s also a bit risky, because it can also hit human host enzymes,” she said. Some research suggests that medicines similar to molnupiravir may have effects on other enzymes in the body when given for long periods of time (molnupiravir is taken for five days). “But it still causes concern,” she added.
Pfizer’s drug, Paxlovid, takes a different approach.
The drug consists of two components: an experimental molecule called PF-07321332 and an existing drug called ritonavir. Both are protease inhibitors, meaning they block another enzyme (called a protease) that breaks down long strands of non-functional viral proteins into smaller, functional proteins. PF-07321332 is the star of the show in the drug duo, which works on the virus itself, while ritonavir prevents other enzymes from destroying PF-07321332. Ritonavir plays the same defensive role in cocktails of antiviral drugs that treat HIV.
For both drugs, it is important to start treatment early. In the clinical studies, Merck and Pfizer started treatments within five days of the onset of symptoms.
“These drugs can be administered at any stage of infection based on their mechanism of action,” said Fenyong Liu, a virologist at the University of California, Berkeley. However, they will be more effective if given in the early stages of infection, he added, “because more serious complications and damage from infection are always associated with later stages.”
That’s because the longer the virus has to make more copies of itself, the more it will spread and cause problems, Seley-Radtke said. If the virus is stopped early, the consequences will be less severe, she said.
The clinical trials for both treatments reported no adverse side effects different from those of the placebo, which experts say is promising.
While there’s probably room to improve the drugs, Liu said, “I think they’re really the best thing we can do right now.” Both were initially developed for other purposes but have been repurposed for Covid-19 due to urgency, he said. The potency and safety profile of the treatments is likely to improve as there will be second and third generations of the drugs by making minor changes to their chemical makeup, he said.

Seley-Radtke is hopeful that the drugs are as safe as the companies suggest, but she noted that Pfizer hasn’t released much data on its new drug, making it difficult to confirm its safety at this time.
A major advantage of the new drugs over existing Covid-19 drugs is that they come in pill form rather than as intravenous drugs. For example, the antiviral drug remdesivir is a polymerase inhibitor that works in a similar way to molnupiravir and has been shown to be effective against Covid-19, but it can only be given by IV. Remdesivir, which was approved by the FDA in October 2020, is being used to treat hospitalized patients.
Drugs for Covid-19 treatment should be considered for global use, Liu said, and an IV drug isn’t practical in many parts of the world. “The availability of the treatment is very, very important, just as important as the efficacy of the drug itself,” he said.
And hopefully Covid-19 drugs in the form of pills will not only help people heal, but also stop the virus from spreading. “About 80 percent of the people [with Covid-19] don’t have to go to the hospital,” Seley-Radtke said. “They could be treated very early and knock out that virus immediately,” stopping it from spreading any further. “That’s going to be huge.”

Chicago Archdiocese gives parishes the option of letting the vaccinated go maskless
Churches will have to check proof of vaccination if leaders want to allow churchgoers to remove face masks during Mass.
The Archdiocese of Chicago on Friday told parishes they can allow fully vaccinated people to attend Mass without a face mask if they check proof of vaccination.
Alternatively, parishes can continue to require masks in church.
“This option is best if a parish does not have a sufficiently staffed, dedicated greeter team to assume the added responsibility of validating attendees’ vaccination status,” the archdiocese announced Friday.
Lea este artículo en español en La Voz Chicago.
The archdiocese said a photograph of the vaccination card would be sufficient proof.
Indoor capacity has also increased to 60% for religious services. For social gatherings, the limit is 250 people indoors and 500 outdoors, as the city has moved into the “bridge” stage of reopening.
Face masks must continue to be worn in all archdiocesan schools and at school events until the end of the school year.
“Since the vast majority of students and children are not yet vaccinated, this application of the mask mandate makes it easier to administer on the part of school leadership and continues our ongoing efforts to keep young people safe,” the archdiocese said.
The church will continue to urge social distancing and hand washing/sanitizing, as well registration to manage capacity limits and possible contact tracing.

The most tempting country in Europe, Italy, captivates visitors with stunning cuisine, diverse architecture, marvelous landscapes and art. The country is so full and diverse it can overwhelm newbie tourists! Here you can combine everything at once: an excursion, beaches, budget vacations, a trip by rental car or a slow-moving train with panoramic views, visiting the Alps, swimming in mountain lakes. Everything you need to know to get the most out of your trip on your own is in one article.
Practice shows that one large city takes 3 days, based on this we form a route. Vacation 1 week = 2-3 cities, the last point of visit is a place with a beach, so that before returning to relax, take a swim and gain strength before the next vacation.
- Vacation up to 5 days: visit 2 cities - 1 with a lot of attractions and a beach resort, some places combine both qualities (Naples, Genoa). A good beach resort for all 5 days will allow you to relax, restore the resource thanks to the beautiful nature, friendly people, delicious food (Rimini, Bari).
- A vacation of 6-10 days will allow you to visit 2-3 places, combining the inspection of local beauty, a seaside resort. Possible route: Rome, Florence, Genoa.
- A trip for 11-15 days may include more cities: Milan, Venice, Florence, Rome, Salerno (a seaside resort near Naples) - a good route for those who want to see a lot at once, but it is more convenient to travel by car.
- More than 20 days: Milan, Venice, Bologna, Florence, Rome, Naples, Palermo. The route from north to south allows you to see the peculiarities of life in all parts of Italy, visit museums, buildings belonging to different cultures, eras, swim, sunbathe, and leisurely rest.
Tips for beginners:
- Get to know your new city thoroughly. Don't visit 10 cities in 2 weeks, the rush is tiresome.
- Do not plan your trip in detail: mark the main points, and on the spot you will find out where you want to go, what to visit. Freedom and the element of surprise bring positive emotions.
- Choose the type of transport to move around the country: by plane, you can quickly move from place to place, by train - to see amazing landscapes, by car - to get freedom of action. If you buy tickets in advance (at least 2 months in advance), you can save up to 70% of the cost.
- Visit “non-tourist” places, get acquainted with the daily life of the locals - this will add zest to even a simple route.
A few more popular routes:
- Rome, Florence, Venice, Milan, Como
- Palermo, San Vito Lo Capo, Agrigento, Taormina
- Naples, Ischia, Capri, Pompeii (Vesuvius)
- Sanremo, Genoa, Pisa, Florence
- Bari, Matera, Alberobello, Grote di Castellana
- Amalfi, Ravello, Sorrento.

"I absolutely LOVED my postcard save the date! I got so many compliments on it. The paper and photo quality is outstanding. My fiancé and I were so happy with it. I personalized the card by making more room for wording on the back, and taking off the www.weddingpaperdivas.com logo line. Wedding Paper Divas was so great to work with, and were very prompt with the edits. The card is completely customizable. I am very happy with it, and cannot wait to order my wedding invitations. Thank you Wedding Paper Divas!"
"I designed my save the dates for my south Carolina wedding and ordered them. The cane a lot sooner than exaoected and were wonderful :)"
"I love the personalization of this card! Working with the design team to make my "Save the Dates" look the best, was easy and helpful."
"I was really excited to get our save the date cards. They were easy to make. Just upload your images and drop them in. I particularly liked this design because it worked with a number of our engagement photos. It also seemed to have the right picture ratios. Some of the other designs that I looked at had mostly horizontal, or square images. It ended up not being able to use some of our favorite photos. The only thing I wanted to change was the 'save the date' font. It's a bit too, country for our wedding design."
"Our wedding theme is rustic so with this particular save the date it fit perfectly. My fiancé and I have been together for 10 years so it was a great story line for those whom we met in the last few years or so to share pieces of our history. Very fast shipping. I ordered on a Tuesday night and they arrived first thing Saturday morning. The printing was perfect."

Ok it was less of an actual road trip than lots of mini trips to and from different parts of New Hampshire, Vermont and Massachusetts. But there was a lot of driving involved. Nothing in New England is close. And this from a girl bought up 50 miles south of Nowhere. I was staying with my friend and I had a fabulous time. There are lots of forests and trees and small towns which all seemed to crush into my perception of New England from Gilmore Girls.
There is a small town in Vermont called Battleboro and isn’t that the coolest name! I kept accidently calling it Brattlebruxo like some weird mix of Castlebruxo (according to Pottermore, the magical school in Brazil) and a New England town. Made my hosts chuckle. In this tiny little town in a valley of hills (New England is a lot of hills and trees) there were three bookshops. One was closed. One was devoted to crime fiction (they must love crime in this small town!). The final one was open and we (of course) went in!
It was a used and rare books shop. Very quirky. I finally found a copy of 4.50 from Paddington by Agatha Christie, one of the Miss Marple books and the Maple I have watched about four different versions of (all different Marple’s) so that was exciting! We also went into some cutesy little shops. One of them had this amazing galaxies and planets dress, but the Medium was too big and the Small wasn’t going near me, so I had to reluctantly hang that one back up. I smell a dressmaking project in the near future. This shop also had loads of funny socks, so I bought a pair of knee highs with books all over them! I was very tempted by a pair with Bitch I’m Reading on, but I refrained because I couldn’t just buy funny socks on my holiday.
Amherst and Northampton, Massachusetts
We went to Amherst first. There is a private university there, and also a UMass campus. But we didn’t stop at UMass, we went to look at the pretty redbrick campus of Amherst, and also to this little art museum in the centre of campus. The exhibition was on representations of home, and it was really quite powerful. I’ve included a link to the exhibition here. It was strange being on an empty campus, but graduation happened pretty recently and there were white marquees and trestle tables everywhere.
In Amherst we also went to see about going to Emily Dickenson’s house. Emily Dickenson is an American poet (but I haven’t read anything by Emily so I offer no opinion on her work). She and her family lived in Amherst and there is a museum in the house. Entrance was about $15 dollars, but the tour took over an hour and was starting ten minutes after we arrived. It would seem like fortuitous timing, but we didn’t have an hour and a half left on the meter so we decided not to go to the tour, and just take pictures outside instead.
After Amherst, we went to Northampton, a little town. Our first stop was a bookshop called Raven Books, which sold overprints (from shops which received more copies than they could sell I guess) and had lots of shelves of books, piled all higgledy-piggledy. I loved the sign though.
After I had been properly caffeinated, we found ourselves in this indoor market-like place, and lo and behold, the socks! I found the socks I had put back the day before, therefore, I clearly needed to buy another pair of socks (one for me, one for a gift). I ended up with “I’m a crafty bitch” 🙂 I also found a book for Protest knits, which include (but is not limited to) a rebellion scarf, pussy hat, and a Donald trump pincushion. Watch this space.
New Hampshire Beach
I haven’t been to the beach in ages! It was a cool day, the water was icy, but I paddled anyway.
We also went to a costal small town, which had an awesome collection of signs.
Historic Deerfield, Massachusetts
We had an absolutely glorious day, so we drove to this small town which has been preserved/recreated in the Old New England [Website here]. There are houses which have been restored to specific time periods or financial standing, so you can literally explore the town through the age. In one of the houses, the guide kept saying “this was expensive, because it was from England” constantly, which made me chuckle. This “historic” Deerfield is mixed up amongst all the “modern” Deerfield, it was a glorious day and it was good fun. Less fun, there was only one place to buy food and they didn’t serve much for dietary requirements so we had to drive somewhere else for lunch and come back.
Bridge of Flowers, Massachusetts
In a small town, there is an old transit bridge that has been given a new lease of life. Rather than just knock the old rail track bridge down, they decided to plant flowers, creating a unique garden space. It was gorgeous! We ate some pretty damn good cake there too.
The places I visited in New England were, for want of a better word, quiet. It was beautiful scenery and small towns and it was so much fun going around with my friend and just enjoying the hills and the trees. From New England, I returned to New York (and then to Old England).
I’ll post New York up in a few days, and I will also post a few reviews for the books I read while away.

The interaction of an ultra-intense single-cycle laser pulse with an underdense plasma in a laser-wakefield accelerator can lead to an asymmetry in the plasma response that depends on the carrier-envelope phase (CEP) of the laser driver. In our experiment, we use near-single cycle pulses with controlled CEP to accelerate electrons in a laser wakefield accelerator. We observe the oscillation of the accelerated electron beam pointing in the laser polarization direction in phase with the CEP. This effect is significant, with an oscillation amplitude as high as 15 mrad. A dependence of the injected charge to the laser CEP is also observed. Particle-in-Cell simulations explain these observations through highly localized, off-axis injection of sub-fs, ultralow emittance electron bunches triggered by the CEP-dependent asymmetry in the plasma wake [2,3,4,5]. These observations imply that we achieve sub-cycle control on the injection and subsequent dynamics of the electron beam through the waveform of the laser.

Trump, Putin meet in Helsinki for summit — live updates
Ukraine, Crimea and sanctions
Leading up to the meeting with Putin, Mr. Trump has also been asked about Crimea. In response, he has blamed President Obama for allowing Putin to annex Crimea from Ukraine during his administration in 2014. Putin, Mr. Trump said at a news conference with U.K. Prime Minister Theresa May last week that Obama “failed very badly with Crimea – I wouldn’t have done that.” “We’ll have to see what happens,” he added.
At the time, Mr. Obama condemned the move, and the U.S. and E.U. sanctioned Russia afterward. Even now, only countries like Venezuela and Syria recognize Crimea as part of Russia. In May, Russia bolstered its relationship with Crimea with the completed construction of a bridge from Russia to Crimea.
While Ukraine and some European allies fear that Mr. Trump will recognize the annexation of Crimea, National Security Adviser told ABC News’ “This Week with George Stephanopoulos,” “That is not the policy of the U.S.” The U.S. ambassador to Russia, Jon Huntsman was also asked about Crimea Sunday. “I think it’s highly unlikely that that will come up in their conversation,” he told NBC’s “Meet the Press,” adding that there are “so many other things to talk about.”
And at this point, U.S. sanctions against Russia over the annexation still remain in place, many of them dating back to the Obama administration in 2014. Russia has also been sanctioned by the U.S. over election meddling and other cyber attacks like NotPetya, which the U.S. and U.K. believe the Russian military executed, and which cost billions in damage across Europe, Asia and the U.S.

News › August 2019 Transactions
Monday, August 19, 2019
WEST HAVEN: Shore Realty, LLC has purchased 297 Elm Street in West Haven for $375,000. The property consists of 2,660 SF retail building on .38 acres of land. The building is leased to Dunkin Donuts and formerly West Short Cleaners. The seller, And Away We Go LLC was represented by Attorney Vin Amendola of West Haven and the buyer was represented by Attorney Jim Parito of Halloran and Sage. The Proto Group of North Haven was the sole broker in the transaction.


It replaces the unreliable Tiger fish torpedo, which was withdrawn in 2004; the significantly higher speed of the Spearfish, for which development started in the 1970s, before the breakup of the Soviet Union, was intended to catch high-speed, deep-diving Soviet threats such as the Alfa-class submarine
The Spearfish torpedo (formally Naval Staff Target 7525) is the heavy torpedo used by the submarines of the Royal Navy. It can be guided by wire or by autonomous active or passive sonar, and provides both anti-submarine warfare (ASW) and anti-surface ship warfare (ASuW) capability.
The torpedo is driven by a pump-jet coupled to a Hamilton Sundstrand 21TP04 gas turbine engine using Otto fuel II and hydroxyl ammonium perchlorate as oxidiser. The addition of an oxidiser improves the specific energy of the fuel by reducing the fuel-richness of the Otto fuel.
HydraPower worked with designers and engineers to provide a solution in delivering the separated fuel types into the pump-jet motor. The fuels are extremely aggressive and a combination of exotic materials were incorporated
A microprocessor enables the torpedo to make autonomous tactical decisions during the attack. It has a powerful blast warhead, triggered by either contact detonation (against a submarine hull) or an acoustic proximity fuse (for under-keel detonation against ships). A standoff detonation under the keel enhances blast effects against surface ships through the amplification of stress resulting from the interaction of the explosion's products and the flexible structure of the ship. This can be seen in following SINKEX video footage. http://youtu.be/fBydeP-5jKw

The history of the Great Highland bagpipes in Nova Scotia began in the 1750s. Scottish and Highland piping traditions continued in Nova Scotia for over 250 years, through periods of immigration, community building, Confederation, economic out-migration, and two world wars. In Gaelic communities of the mainland and Cape Breton, throughout the 19th century bagpipe music was interwoven with fiddle music, Gaelic singing, and traditional and evolving dance traditions. A unique form of dance music emerged and flourished in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, characterized by lively jigs and rousing strathspeys, reels, and quicksteps. Many of these tunes existed in multiple regional variations before the modern standardization of piping. Many also had corresponding Gaelic words known as puirt-á-beul or mouth music, which were often used to teach and transmit pipe music within in families and communities, as well as providing enjoyment in daily life.
Volume Two: The Music presents bagpipe arrangements and their Gaelic words as they were played and sung in Nova Scotia. The book contains 230 settings of pipe tunes, 19 fiddle tune settings connected to the piping tradition, and over 85 sets of port-á-beul lyrics. It is illustrated with 75 images of Nova Scotian pipers.
Volume One: History, Culture, and Images, is sold separately.

Digital images of originals housed at the National Archives. Index includes the borrower's name and the guarantors or witnesses for the loan. The Irish Reproductive Loan Fund was a micro credit scheme set up in 1824 to provide small loans to the 'industrious poor'.
Local associations and committees administered the scheme, most often from a small town in a rural area, and county committees oversaw their work. The records of the local associations and county committees are in the The National Archives record series (PRO) T91.
As well as the notes of security for the loans, there are loan ledgers, repayment books and defaulters' books. The minimum information supplied is address and occupation, but much additional detail is often given in the local association records, including notes on health, family circumstances and emigration. The local records generally run from the late 1830s to the mid-1840s.

Dana Air Crash Caused By Pilot Error – AIB
The Accident Investigation Bureau, AIB, has said that the Dana Air plane crash of June 3, 2012, was caused by a combination of mechanical failure and pilot error.
In its final report, the AIB said that the two engines on the aircraft failed mid-air before it crashed on approaching the Lagos airport, leading to the death of 159 people.
The AIB commissioner, Akin Olateru, added that the inappropriate omission of the use of the checklist, the crew’s inability to appreciate the severity of the power-related problem, and their subsequent failure to land at the nearest suitable airfield also contributed to the crash.
“Engine number one lost power 17 minutes into the flight, and thereafter on final approach, engine number two lost power and failed to respond to throttle movement on demand for increased power to sustain the aircraft in its flight configuration,” the report read, while the investigators added that “lack of situation awareness, inappropriate decision-making and poor airmanship” were also to blame for the crash.
The ill-fated aircraft was carrying 153 passengers and crew when it crashed into a densely-populated area in the north of Lagos and burst into flames killing 6 people on the ground.
Following the crash, aviation authorities in Nigeria suspended Dana’s operating licence but the suspension was later partially lifted in January 2013 and fully in 2014 after the airline had met some safety standards.
Investigations into the mishap involved officials from the airline, engine manufacturers Pratt & Whitney and international aviation experts.
Olateru said the investigation took longer than initially expected due to lack of funds as the N16 million allocated in 2017 was not enough.Dana Airline’s Media and Communications Manager, Kingsley Ezenwa, speaking on the incident, said that the company “swung into action immediately” to prevent a recurrence by ensuring that it implemented the interim safety recommendations released in 2013 by the AIB.
He assured air passengers that the airline is deeply committed to the safety and comfort of its customers.

Moran had played for Skellefteå AIK previous to signing with the Oilers and playing for the Barons this last season. Moran had 71 points in 79 games with the Barons and 82 points in 110 games with Skellefteå AIK over two seasons. Other centers Ryan O'Marra and Chris VandeVelde both got Oilers callups ahead of Moran during the season. It's definitely going to be a difficult spot to fill for the Barons, as Moran had been the team's best center throughout most of the year.
EDIT: Vaxjo Lakers HC put out a press release stating that Brad Moran has indeed signed a two-year contract with them.

David Alaba rejects new deal with Bayern Munich amid January transfer rumors – originally published on Sportslens.com
One of Bayern's longest-serving players could be on his way out of the club. Defender David Alaba has been linked to a move from the European champions for a few months now, with Chelsea, Real Madrid and PSG all excited.
According to the Daily Mail Bayern President Karl-Heinze Rummenigge has done everything in his power to persuade Alaba to stay in Munich, but the Austrian international wants to continue. His current contract runs next summer but the 28-year-old will be able to speak to clubs in January.
Alaba has developed into a center-back last year due to the outstanding rise of the young Alphonso Davies. However, he did a good job in this position and helped the Bundesliga giants to win fourfold last season.
Alaba is a versatile defender who can play virtually anywhere on the backline, which is certainly an attractive trait to potential applicants. He also has a lot of experience at the highest levels of European football, having won two Champions League trophies and nine Bundesliga titles while at Bayern.
At 28 he is still a valuable player for every side. There haven't been any serious talks with Chelsea, PSG or Real Madrid so far, but Zinedine Zidane is reportedly a fan of the Austrian defender's skills. Manchester United have also shown interest in the past few weeks as they try to find more solidity on their own end.
The Blues reinvented their backline during this tenure with the newly formed partnership of Thiago Silva and Kurt Zouma, but at 36 it is not known how long the Brazilian will stay at Stamford Bridge. Alaba could be a logical replacement for him next summer if he moves on.
Alaba is unlikely to move elsewhere in January as its contract expires next summer. But after almost 10 seasons at Bayern Munich, his time at the club seems to be coming to an end.
