Lenders to Bhushan Steel have decided to appoint Alvarez & Marsal (A&M), a restructuring and turnaround firm, to help the existing management run the company. Bankers told FE for now, the consultant will provide strategic inputs and, at a later stage, oversee cash management. “Deloitte is looking after the cash management and we want another firm to supervise Bhushan Steel’s operations,” a senior banker explained. He added that the idea was not to affect a change in the management but merely to add bandwidth on behalf of the lenders.
The steelmaker, which has three plants in Odisha, Maharashtra and UP, owed lenders an amount of Rs 42,000 crore as on March 2016. It reported a net loss of Rs 656.21 crore in the June quarter of FY17 on the back of Rs 3,365 crore in revenues in the same period.
In FY16, its net loss stood at Rs 2,839 crore and its revenues were at Rs 11,803 crore.
A senior executive of Bhushan Steel told FE Deloitte was conducting the concurrent audit, while M N Dastur was the technical adviser to the firm. Officials at A&M’s Mumbai office were unavailable for comment.
In its FY16 annual report, Bhus-han Steel said that it has been facing severe stress in its debt servicing for past few years due to several reasons and circumstanc-es faced by the firm, which led to adding on stress on cash flows and consequently, on debt servicing.
Debt: Rs 42,000 cr
Interest: Rs 4,582 cr
Loss: Rs 2,911 cr
“The problems got aggravated in last two financial years when there has been sharp surge in imports of steel in India which led to substantial fall in domestic steel prices impacting the margins and cash flows significantly. Further, Joint Lender’s Forum(JLF) has already been formed under the RBI Guidelines and JLF meetings are being conducted regularly to arrive at a long term viable solution for the company,” it said.
Bhushan Steel was in the news over the role of its vice-chairman and managing director, Neeraj Singal, in an alleged case of bribery involving Syndicate Bank in 2014. The CBI had arrested Singal after the special court issued a non-bailable warrant. Singal holds a 22.73% stake in the firm while chairman Brij Bhushan Singal owns 18.15%.

Hooray! It's release day one for Sweet Stamp Shop's new November Release!
You should be arriving here from
If not you'll wanna start back at the beginning because there are prizes involved!
So let's get to the meat of it all! The sneak peek!
I used a sketch from Retro Sketches challenge blog to jump start my inspiration for this card.
Here is the sketch
Here is my take on the sketch
I used lots of Amy Tangerine's paper and embellishments - and I didn't have
the right color mist... so I broke out the old acrylic paint with a tooth brush and
created some splatter the ol' fashioned way!
Thanks so much for stopping by today!
Hope you're liking the new stamps so far!

But any film, stage play or television show provides the opportunity for the cast and crew to bond into a remarkably fun and cordial unit. On the set of our show, we are blessed to have the best shooting crew of any in New York. However, across the board, everyone seems to recognize that the writers have a valid reason for striking.
We finished our last pre-strike approved script on Friday. The atmosphere the last couple of days was thoughtful and a little sad, as some crew members, and eventually many more, are expected to scatter in search of work. There is other work, no doubt, but maybe not the kind like we have had up until now, with a good group of collegial and talented people working on a show that seemed to be growing, in many ways.
Strikes, and the lack of forward-thinking negotiating that results in them, costs more than money. Sometimes, they cost you friends and family, as well.

The US and NATO are continuing to exert pressure on Turkey over its planned acquisition of S-400 Triumf anti-aircraft missile systems, arguing that the weapon is incompatible with the NATO missile defence system and poses a security threat to the bloc.
On 7 June, acting US Defence Secretary Patrick Shanahan gave Turkey an ultimatum, stressing that it should choose between buying S-400 SAMs and Lockheed Martin F-35 stealth fighters as it could not use both. To break the stalemate, the US offered Ankara to purchase its Patriot surface-to-air missile (SAM) system instead of the Russian anti-aircraft weapon.
“Turkey does not consider the US proposal to deliver Patriots sufficient to meet its defence requirements”, says Erdogan Karakus, a retired Turkish Air Force lieutenant-general and the head of the Turkish Union of Retired Officers. “For this very reason Ankara insists on receiving S-400 systems”.
Additionally, Ankara knows that if the US provides Patriots to Turkey, there will be no talk of any sort of technology transfer, he pointed out.
“Therefore, there were problems with the acquisition of the Patriot from the start. When we asked the Americans to provide us with this system under the condition that some of its spare part would be produced in Turkey we faced Washington’s refusal. Therefore, we are now determined to buy S-400”, the retired lieutenant-general elaborated.
He recalled that earlier Turkey had planned to acquire a Chinese-made air defence system. However, the US intervened and the deal was derailed.
“Now the US is trying to prevent us from getting the S-400 at all costs“, Karakus underscored. “This situation has yet again demonstrated that we need to further strengthen cooperation between Turkey and Russia in this field”.
In early June, the Pentagon warned Turkey that it would halt training of its pilots on the F-35 fighter jet programme at the end of July. Acting US Defence Secretary Shanahan announced that Turkish pilots which were undergoing training at the Luke Air Force Base in Arizona would have time to finish their studies by 31 July, adding that new pilots from Turkey would not be accepted.
In addition, the US Department of Defence (DOD) signalled that it would transfer Turkey’s participation in the F-35 programme to other countries by 2020 in case Ankara proceeds with its decision to deploy the Russian-made S-400 in the country. Turkey has invested heavily in the F-35 project with Turkish industries producing almost 937 parts for the American stealth multirole fighter.
In response to Shanahan’s statement, Turkish officials told Hürriyet, a daily newspaper, that Ankara had not changed its stance on the S-400 missile defence project.
Earlier, on 18 May, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan highlighted that in addition to purchasing the S-400, Ankara was planning to engage in joint production of the S-500 Prometey, a Russian surface-to-air missile and anti-ballistic missile system.
“There is absolutely no question of taking a step back from the S-400s purchase. That is a done deal,” Erdogan told journalists as quoted by Anadolu Agency, “There will be a joint production of the S-500 as well as the S-400.”
US lawmakers have repeatedly threatened to cancel the delivery of the 120 advanced F-35 stealth jets to Turkey. According to them, if Turkey buys both the S-400 and the F-35, Russian technicians would get access to the US plane’s vulnerabilities which could upend the strategic balance of forces. Previously, all F-35-related shipments to the country have been frozen since April 2019.
Moscow and Ankara signed a loan agreement for the acquisition of the S-400 by Turkey in December 2017. The first shipments of the advanced missile defence system are due to reach Turkey in July 2019.

Dating and age can indeed be a complex and sensitive issue.
The age-old notion that males often choose younger companions and that women occasionally choose younger partners is a generalisation that isn't always accurate, even though it is popular in various societies.
People’s dating preferences vary widely, and they are influenced by a range of factors, including individual personalities, values, and cultural norms.
People seek different qualities in their partners, such as shared interests, emotional connection, and compatibility, which may not be solely based on age. It is crucial to approach dating with an open mind and respect for individual preferences and choices. Age should not be the sole determining factor in forming meaningful and healthy relationships.
Some common challenges related to age in dating include:
Ageism - Stereotypes and biases related to age can lead to unfair judgments about a person's suitability as a partner based solely on their age.
Generation Gap - Differences in life experiences, cultural references, and priorities can create challenges for couples with significant age differences.
Family and Social Pressures - Concerns or disapproval from family, friends, or society can add stress to relationships with substantial age gaps.
Life Stages - Partners at different life stages may have varying goals and timelines, potentially causing conflicts in a relationship.
Health and Aging - As people age, health issues may become more prominent, and this can impact relationships.
It is essential for individuals to communicate openly about their expectations, concerns, and boundaries when it comes to age in dating. Using a bespoke dating agency can assist greatly when it comes to these concerns.
The most important aspect is building a connection based on trust, respect, and shared values, rather than solely focusing on age. Each relationship is unique, and age should be just one of many factors to consider.

Lucky David F. Sandberg! Not that his talent, professionalism and creativity didn’t get the fledgling filmmaker to where he is today, but wow – he is so lucky that uber-producer James Wan just happened to see his buzz-worthy short film online. Plucked from obscurity, the Danish helmer has now directed two big Hollywood features – Lights Out, and Annabelle: Creation.
Annabelle: Creation takes place in the 1950s, several years after the tragic death of a little girl, the daughter of a doll maker and his wife. The scares pick up when the still-grieving couple welcome a nun and several girls from a shuttered orphanage into their home… the unsuspecting boarders soon becoming the target of Annabelle, a possessed doll.
We got the chance to talk with David, briefly, on the set between takes. Here’s what he had to say.
Dread Central: What’s Annabelle 2 been like for you, compared to your first movie, Lights Out?
David F. Sandberg: A lot calmer, I always look calm, at least that’s what people say. But it was [different with] Lights Out, oh, my first movie ever, [I was thinking] I don’t know what I’m doing. And now I know a little bit of what I’m doing.
DC: Do you feel like you’re being type cast as the horror guy?
DFS: No. There are worse things to be than a horror director. Of course, that’s what I want to do.
DC: Do you see James Wan a lot?
DFS: Not since we started shooting, but he’s been here and seen the set. He’s a busy guy, he’s dealing with MacGyver right now.
DC: Did you watch the first Annabelle movie?
DFS: Yes. I’d seen it before, but I didn’t watch it again. I wanted to stay fresh but I’ve had to go back and look at some things, so I’ve looked at parts of it again.
DC: How is Annabelle 2 different from Lights Out?
DFS: This one might have more of a scarier sort of mood or atmosphere type of thing, because Lights Out has its fun moments. I don’t think this will be without [those fun moments] either, but it will be more horror.
DC: And how’s it different from Annabelle 1?
DFS: It’s a very different film. I’m not really sure what to compare it to, because the first one was sort of like a Rosemary’s Baby type of story. This one, what can I compare it to… I want to say The Orphanage because it’s in an orphanage, but I don’t know what to compare it to. It’s a very different kind of story. We have all these characters, and it feels a lot bigger than having just a couple like the first one.
DC: Before coming to Hollywood it was pretty much just you and your wife making short films in your apartment… tell us how it feels working with big casts.
DFS: They’re all amazing. When we had them all on set, Anthony and all the kids and Stephanie, it’s like ‘Wow, it’s eight people in one scene.’
DC: How about working on a period-piece?
DFS: That’s what drew me to it, to make a period movie because it feels so appropriate for horror. Our production designer is great, she created this whole house. She likes all these little details which I love. It’s not just flat walls, it’s old wallpaper and all these little [touches]. It really looks lived in, not just a typical set. There’s so much detail, even the curtains in these rooms with little bees on them.
DC: Seems like your production designer should get a writing credit – today here on set we heard how much she brought to the story in terms of the sets, and that the script was rewritten in some places to accommodate the new set-pieces.
DFS: Yeah, she said we could put a dumbwaiter in between these two rooms and I was like, ‘Can you put a child in there/’ And now it’s become this huge thing with stunts and rigging and everything. It’s going to be awesome. She comes up with ideas of her own. Like in Mrs. Mullins room where you have these cross cut-outs, because the script said like the walls were filled with crosses. But they did that in The Conjuring, so what can we do differently? It was her idea to put in these cross cut-outs so we can have these shafts of light. So she’s amazing. That’s why I took her from Lights Out to do this. I surround myself with great people, and a wonderful crew, and then just take credit for it. Like, ‘Yeah I’m a genius.’ [laughs]
David Sandberg directs from a screenplay by Gary Dauberman, who also wrote Annabelle. The film stars Stephanie Sigman (Spectre), Talitha Bateman (The 5th Wave), Lulu Wilson (Ouija 2, Deliver Us from Evil), Philippa Coulthard (After the Dark), Grace Fulton (Badland), Lou Lou Safran (The Choice), Samara Lee (The Last Witch Hunter), and Tayler Buck in her feature film debut, with Anthony LaPaglia (TV’s “Without a Trace”) and Miranda Otto (Showtime’s “Homeland”).
Serving as executive producers are Toby Emmerich, Richard Brener, Walter Hamada, Dave Neustadter, and Hans Ritter. Collaborating with Sandberg behind the scenes from his Lights Out team are production designer Jennifer Spence, editor Michel Aller, and composer Benjamin Wallfisch; they are joined by director of photography Maxime Alexandre (The Other Side of the Door) and costume designer Leah Butler (Paranormal Activity 3 & 4).
Currently scheduled for release on August 11, 2017, Annabelle: Creation is a New Line Cinema presentation, an Atomic Monster/Safran Company production. The film will be distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures, a Warner Bros. Entertainment Company.
Several years after the tragic death of their little girl, a dollmaker and his wife welcome a nun and several girls from a shuttered orphanage into their home, soon becoming the target of the dollmaker’s possessed creation, Annabelle.

Vaccines pushed for a virus with a 99.9% survival rate should raise your internal alarm. When we stare at the facts, we learn there’s no guarantee the injection will prevent virus spread or stop those injected from infection. At a conference, the WHO chief scientist Dr. Swaminathan stated a fact, “I don’t believe we have the evidence on any of the vaccines to be confident that it’s going to prevent people from actually getting the infection and therefore being able to pass it on.” (1)
The reason behind the statement? Not enough data from trials to know if spread occurs after jab injection. So, therefore, they claim, wear your mask regardless if injected or not.
These tyrants lie without informed consent from the public as they continue their lethal experiments on an unknowing population. They executed those at Nuremberg for far less.
As we look to Pfizer and Moderna (2), we learn a few more items of interest. The experimental mRNA contains polyethylene glycol (PEG). The issue, 70% of Americans already have antibodies for PEG. And due to this, the FDA believes it’s the driving factor behind severe adverse reactions (anaphylaxis.)
In the U.K., officials recommend those with severe allergic conditions not to inject with the mRNA experiment. But, in the United States, the CDC declares the opposite even though side effects from the BigPharma liquid cause life-changing trauma to the body and death. Rather than avoid unnecessary life-threatening conditions, they ignore the science. People line up at clinics across the United States. When adverse reactions hit, medical staff await to perform CPR as in alignment with the American College of Allergy, “The Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine should be administered in a health care setting where anaphylaxis can be treated.”
And on top of all the false narratives, unnecessary deaths, adverse reactions, deception perpetrated at the highest level of government, here are a few more facts you need to know.
- Prior to emergency authorization from the FDA, messenger RNA or it’s lipid nanoparticles were never used on humans. They have no data to show the long or short terms effects.
- In clinical trials, they surveyed for two months after two doses of their experiment. Then, without oversight, the FDA granted the emergency authorization.
- In the trials from Moderna and Pfizer, they included no elderly subjects in feeble condition. Yet, those injected center around nursing homes with individuals who have pre-existing conditions and in a frail state.
- The FDA did not inspect COVID manufacturing facilitates as claimed.
“The FDA is responsible for inspecting the manufacturing conditions inside any plant that is making drugs that go to U.S. patients. They have an elite unit of highly trained investigators called Team Biologics. But surprisingly, it’s only 14 people who are required to investigate conditions in 280 biologic plants that sell drugs and biologic products into the U.S. So, this is a, our investigation revealed it’s a demoralized unit claiming poor supervision from inexperienced supervisors, there are personnel complaints inside that unit–this whistleblower alleged that he was not empowered to do his job. He felt that it threatened the safety of the American public. — Katherine Eban”
- They lied to EMT professionals with manipulation of asymptomatic spread. Therefore their injection must occur to saves lives and stop the “supposed” epidemic. Yet, Dr. Fauci (3) states, “asymptomatic spread does not drive an epidemic.”
Next, we quote the CEO of Moderna, Stephane Bancel (4), from the JPMorgan Healthcare conference, “SARS-CoV-2 is not going away. …We are going to live with this virus, we think, forever,”
And just as in the United States, the U.K. follows. COVID death statistics fabricated. They pushed a false narrative and claimed if diagnosed positive, and one dies later, even months, they label the death as COVID (5).
I hope, with these facts, you can see the picture. We do not suffer from a pandemic. We face a totalitarian government with one objective — enforcement of illegal mandates and orders. The reason? Forced submission to their harmful untested genome therapy on an unsuspecting public for a virus with a 99.9% survival rate.
So please, throw away the mask, head outdoors, do not social distance, and most importantly, stop compliance to all unconstitutional mandates or orders.
Remember, we have a choice. We can allow Gates, Fauci, and Big Pharma to destroy our lives and families, or we can end this experiment and take back our freedoms by any means necessary, “there are more of us than them.”

The concerns surrounding the development of Artificial Intelligence (AI) are not new. However, recently, a conversation between a researcher and a chatbot supported by Google’s LaMDA AI sparked numerous discussions on this topic, raising the question of what if they became sentient like humans?
Developed as a breakthrough in conversational technology
At Google I/O 2021, Google CEO Sundar Pichai unveiled the company’s “latest breakthrough in natural language processing in AI,” called LaMDA (which stands for “Language Model for Dialogue Applications”). Essentially, it is a machine learning-powered chatbot designed to converse about any topic, much like IBM’s Watson providing users with the ability to interact on a wide range of subjects. However, LaMDA AI has the capacity to understand and generate more nuanced conversations. At that time, Google stated that this AI was only trained on text, meaning it couldn’t generate or respond to content related to images, audio, or video.
One could say that LaMDA is like a curious novel with impressive question parsing and the ability to generate responses that go beyond the realm of a typical chatbot. Google demonstrated LaMDA’s ability to discuss topics such as Pluto, the moon of Saturn, and even give fashion advice. CEO Sundar Pichai emphasized in the presentation that this is not a question-answering chatbot, but one that can add a touch of style, express opinions on the queried topic, and even model how we truly use language better.
Another advantage of LaMDA is that it doesn’t specialize in recreating conversations or specific topics. Instead, it can provide answers across various domains, whether it’s history or weather, although there are still limitations in the early stages of the project.
Google stated that this is still “early-stage research” and actively being developed, but the company has been using it internally to “explore new interactions” and improve the language processing capabilities of other voice-enabled tools like Google Search, Google Assistant, and Workspace. The work is being done to ensure that it meets Google’s high standards for fairness, accuracy, safety, and privacy, “consistent with [Google’s] AI principles.” It’s important to test and control because LaMDA’s responses to questions could become a source of data for some individuals, depending on their location and usage.
At Google I/O 2022, Google revealed “LaMDA 2,” an enhanced version of the conversational AI. This time, the company allowed “thousands of Googlers” to test it—partly to reduce instances of problematic or unpleasant answers. Overall, LaMDA 2 has similar features and functionalities to the original version, operating as a sophisticated and versatile chatbot. However, Google’s demonstration at that time focused more on technical aspects, such as maintaining a conversation on a topic, creating lists associated with a subject, or imagining being in a specific location. LaMDA’s capabilities certainly aren’t limited to these workflows; they are merely avenues that Google wants to explore to test and fine-tune how LaMDA operates.
LaMDA is not even the most complex language processing model within Google. PaLM (also unveiled at I/O) is a larger and more complex system that can handle tasks that LaMDA cannot, such as math and code generation, with an advanced processing system for higher accuracy.
While LaMDA AI’s development opens up new possibilities for conversational AI, it’s important to continue monitoring and refining its capabilities to ensure ethical and responsible use. The potential impact of AI with human-like qualities, such as sentience, raises profound questions and necessitates careful consideration of the benefits and implications it may bring to society.
Google’s AI team has become the subject of discussion regarding the development of artificial intelligence, and the company has also raised ethical questions in the development of this technology. In 2018, Google established a set of ethical guidelines and principles for AI, outlining how AI is created and what it can be used for. In summary, Google wants to ensure that its work in AI development is for the benefit of society, is safe and respects privacy, while adhering to the most effective methods for things like data validation and model training. Lastly, Google stated that it will not pursue AI applications that have the potential to be used to harm others (such as in weapons), for surveillance, or violate the law.
The LaMDA AI Development Process
LaMDA is built on a neural architecture called Transformer, which Google invented in 2017. This tool quickly became more complex, but fundamentally, the Transformer provides advantages in both training efficiency (model building time) and accuracy compared to recurrent and convolutional neural models (typical machine learning systems) when it comes to language processing.
Instead of analyzing the input text step-by-step, the Transformer simultaneously analyzes entire sentences and can model the relationships between them to better understand contextual meaning. And because it performs context-based analysis all at once, it requires fewer steps to perform its task – the fewer steps in a machine learning model, the more likely it is to perform its job well.
In 2020, Google introduced the first truly conversational AI chatbot built on this technology, named Meena. Meena was trained on 341 GB of text “filtered from public social conversations,” meaning it learned the nuances of conversation from some of the most challenging yet authentic examples possible. While none of us had easy access to it, an analysis scorecard provided in the research paper (available here) shows how Meena could sometimes resemble a human, exhibiting everything from “banal” curiosity to discussing specific movies. Of course, it still had certain limitations.
While Meena may not be as sophisticated as LaMDA, it was a necessary step to demonstrate that an open-domain chatbot can better understand the nuances of how we use language and provide meaningful, empathetic responses – or at least responses that are “coherent and specific like a human.”
Although Meena had 2.6 billion parameters at the time, it still pales in comparison to LaMDA AI (with 137 billion parameters) or PaLM with 540 billion parameters.
How LaMDA Works
In January 2022, a few months before the I/O 2022 event, Google provided more detailed information about how LaMDA works and its language model, describing the progress achieved so far on the AI Blog.
LaMDA was created to address a range of evaluative metrics that previous chatbots struggled with. Things like internal consistency of answers and the level of surprise corresponding to the SSI (Sensitivity, Specificity, and Interestingness) score. Instead of just meeting expectations, could it make a joke or provide genuinely detailed information? And how realistic and informative are its answers?
Using these as a measure of its nature, aiming to create a chatbot that feels more human-like, Google trained the LaMDA models on a massive dataset, attempting to help it predict the next components of a sentence. At its core, LaMDA is an ad-lib generator that fills in details that humans would appreciate. The model is then fine-tuned for different applications to expand its “development” capabilities and further trained using conversational datasets from real back-and-forth conversations between two humans. In essence, it goes from filling in blanks to filling in sentences, trained to mimic real conversations.
Like many machine learning systems, rather than generating a single response, LaMDA generates multiple options and uses an.

text: Last fall, I planted a fatsia japonica in a dappled shade location and it did well until December, when we had an early, unexpected, severe freeze. The plant just "crumped"; its leaves turned yellow and stems bent and I thought it was dead, but had heard they're fairly hardy so I didn't cut it all back until spring. All that was left were two sorry looking 1/2 inch diameter twigs sticking out of the ground. I was about to replace it when I scraped the roots under one of the twigs and found green! However, it's now June and though the green on the roots remains, there is nothing happening above the ground. The dead twigs are about 4 inches long and definitely not showing any signs of life. Is there hope for this plant or should I give up? It was a good sized pot; 1 gallon I think, so if the roots are alive I'll give it a chance. Would it help to cut off the "twigs", or feed it? any ideas? thanks so much. P.

Manoach’s barren wife was visited by an angel who told her that she was going to bear a son, who would help defend the Jewish people from the Philistines, and who would be a nazir from birth. He instructed her not to partake of wine and what emanated from it; neither was she to partake of what was tamei. She was to conduct herself as if she were a nazir. Though she was not going to be a nazir, her son was. And if she were to partake of these things, her as-yet unborn son, being nourished in her womb, would be exposed to, and impacted by, them too. She was not, however, instructed to adopt the other prohibitions to which a nazir is subject, since the fetus would not be impacted one way or another.
After hearing this from the angel, she ran over to where her husband was and told him of what had transpired. He prayed to G-d that the angel return, so that he might be further instructed in regard to the way the child (to be born) was to be handled and reared.
His prayer was answered and the angel returned. As was the case the first time, the angel appeared to Manoach’s wife in the place where she was situated – which was apart from where Manoach was, at that moment, situated. Immediately she ran over to where her husband was and told him that the angel had reappeared. Immediately Manoach got up from his place and (following his wife) made his way over to where the angel appeared. Catching sight of the angel, he asked to be instructed with regard to the things he needed to observe in bringing up his to-be-born son. Replying, the angel said to him that the instructions that had initially been given his wife should be observed. He went on to repeat them.
This, of course, is from the Haftarah, read on Shabbos (yesterday) in shul. Someone might think to ask: Why did Manoach need to see the angel and be instructed on what to do and how to raise the child, given that his wife had already been instructed by the angel on precisely these matters? All he had to do was receive the information from her! (Which undoubtedly he did do!) Another point of curiosity is that: the angel responded to him, telling him to observe what his wife had learned the first time that the angel had appeared. Why did the angel put it that way? Why didn’t the angel just repeat the instructions he had originally given?
I interpret it as meaning that Manoach didn’t trust his wife. It wasn’t that his wife was not a trustworthy person or that he, for some reason, harbored a personal, visceral distrust of her. But she was, after all, a woman. And women lack mental acuity. They have a tendency to misunderstand, especially when their emotions get the better of them. And here Manoach’s wife was being informed that, after years of being barren, she was going to bear a child. And she was told this by an angel of G-d. How could she fail to be very emotionally affected? Impossible. So to Manoach, her recounting of the instructions she’d received was suspect. This is why he had to find out for himself. And this is why it was appropriate for the angel to tell him that he should follow the instruction he had given his wife. This was, for Manoach, the main issue. Had his wife gotten it right? The angel let him know that she had. (I think this interpretation might be corroborated by the Midrash in Bamidbar Raba, 10.)

Hello guys, I recently installed a test pipe on my car and it was pretty sweet. Pulls easier from like 3 grand. Anyway I wanted to know if I could get a better header than my DC? Would it be worth it to switch it for the Greddy???
I dont know if it has actually been dyno proven mainly from the fact that there arent too many people using the greddy on a 5th gen cause the modifications needed. The greddy is definately better quality header and I have talked to people who have had both and say the greddy header is much better than the dc. Prelude racer on ht.com is one of them and there is 1 person where i live.
basically you already cleared up the bottle neck in your exhaust system which was the cat, so any other header is going to be just the same, maybe 1-3 hp gain or drop with all the aftermarket headers, you shoulda stayed with stock headers, basically you paid just to get lighter headers. so dont worry about your headers right now unless you really need new one, or want the greddy ones for looks.

A bench of Justices SS Shinde and NR Borkar dismissed the National Investigating Agency's (NIA) request for extending such date of surrender only by a week. The bench said in view of the rising cases of coronavirus across the state, it would not be wise to send the 83-year-old poet-activist back to prison.
The NIA counsel Sandesh Patil said the delay was caused because several doctors were required to check Rao since the 83-year-old was "taking advantage of the court's order" and trying to get a comprehensive health check up done.
Activist and poet Varavara Rao was discharged from Mumbai’s Nanavati Hospital on Saturday, officials said.
Activist Varavara Rao was arrested in the Bhima Koregaon case in June 2018
Advocate Indira Jaising said since last February, activist-poet Varavara Rao, arrested for links with Maoists, has spent 149 days of his jail time in hospital and appealed for interim bail
Varavara Rao was arrested in the Elgar-Parishad-Maoist links case in June 2018.
Rao has been in and out of hospital since he was arrested in June 2018 and lodged in Taloja prison in neighbouring Navi Mumbai.
The 81-year-old Bhima Koregaon convict suffers from neurological ailments and needs post-Covid-19 care
Varavara Rao, however, will continue to stay in Nanavati Hospital at least till Monday, the next date of hearing on his bail plea
The 81-year-old activist was admitted to Nanavati hospital on November 18.
Telugu poet-activist will be shifted to Mumbai's Nanavati hospital for 15 days.
The National Investigating Agency has summoned Poet-Activist Varavara Rao's Sons-in-law for questioning in connection with the Elgar Parishad case.
It has been eleven days since Varavara Rao's family saw the physically weak and psychologically suffering poet on video conference and there is still no news from anywhere--hospital or jail.
Varavara Rao's lawyer told the Bombay High Court that the activist was 'almost on his deathbed' with Covid-19 infection and other ailments.
The major responsibility of persisting incarceration of Varavara Rao, despite his age, health issues and Covid vulnerability, lies with the judicial administration, writes N Venugopal, nephew of jailed poet-activist.
Varavara Rao, 80-year-old, was shifted to the government-run hospital in south Mumbai after he complained of giddiness. Rao took a Covid test and he tested positive.
Arun Ferreira, Vernon Gonsalves, Sudha Bharadwaj, P Varavara Rao, and Gautam Navlakha, were initially put under house arrest on directions of the Supreme Court.
The court was hearing the plea filed against the arrest of the rights activists -- Varavara Rao, Arun Ferreira, Vernon Gonsalves, Sudha Bharadwaj and Gautam Navlakha -- in the case.

He would take his colour, brushes and canvas outside to paint and talk with his love. He would stand close to the window and paint, keeping an eye on his muse.
They say the violin mimics the human sound. In his case, it was that of love, of longing. He didn’t know any other way of loving.
Younger people do not have much progressive beliefs; a 2017 survey found that one-third of young people opposed inter-caste marriage.
The pandemic has made it clear that virtual learning is here to stay. In the West, the big question is whether it will dilute the quality of the college experience and education. In India, which grapples with digital divide, the question remains whether this will reach most people at all.
Even after two years of the Covid-19 pandemic, many 'informed' individuals in India continue to deny the virus with unscientific claims and unfounded data. The latest? Omicron will end the pandemic.
Across Asia there are deeply entrenched obstacles to a mode of higher education that is liberal in multiple senses – disciplinary and epistemological but also social and political.
The two incidents in the recent past, one in Mon district of Nagaland and the other at Lakhimpur Kheri in Uttar Pradesh, undermined the core principles democracy and federalism.

The plans would produce over 700 homes in buildings up to six storeys on the Lampton Road site (pictured below), while the new building on the Bath Road car park (pictured above), in the town centre, would also include a café, exhibition space and a library.
The plans would preserve the 19th century buildings on the Lampton Road site, The Lawn and the Registry Office. The aim of the new Civic Centre, as well as saving on running costs with a more modern building, is to help revitalise the western end of the High Street.
The council are also looking at other potential car park sites in the wider town centre redevelopment to offset any loss of off-street car parking spaces at the Bath Road Car Park.
The plan is to sell the 5 hectare Lampton Road site, which it moved to in 1976 but which now has significantly more accommodation than is necessary for the smaller number of employees, to fund the new Civic Centre.
The council is consulting until February 13, 2015, on planning briefs for the sites which would act as guidelines for any future planning applications.
Councillor Steve Curran, Leader of Hounslow Council, said: “Moving the Civic Centre into the heart of Hounslow will boost local businesses, save council taxpayer’s hundreds of thousands of pounds and free up valuable land for development.”

CRYORIG, innovator of PC thermal solutions is releasing it's new QF120 line of 120 mm PWM system fans. The new QF120 line features CRYORIG's proprietary Quad Air Inlet system. Four strategically placed air intakes line up the corners of the QF120 fan frame, allowing the static pressure optimized fan blades take in extra air from the sides of the fan frame increasing overall air output. HPLN High Precision Low Noise bearing from the XF140 line makes a return in the QF120 Series for low noise performance. The fans will cover a wide RPM spectrum with PWM control, allowing users to fine tune it to their liking individually. Integrated rubber Vibration Absorbers also come preinstalled to absorb excess vibration.
The QF120 will initially be released in three different models, QF120 Silent, QF120 Balanced and QF120 Performance. The QF120 Balanced features a moderate fan speed range from 330 to 1,600 RPM in order to offer good balance between performance, RPM and noise. The range is low enough for low noise use, and powerful enough for high load computing. The QF120 Silent features ultra low RPM speeds of 200 to 1.000 RPM with the minimum noise level of 5 dBA, virtually inaudible inside a PC chassis, while still pushing good airflow. The perfect solution for those who need near silence but still want their system cool and stable.
The QF120 Performance at 600 to 2.200 RPM is extremely fast and extremely cool. The RPM range is wide enough for the fan to be a multi-use fan, either as a CPU or a system fan. Once unleashed, the max 2.200 RPM creates nearly double the airflow of regular 120 mm sized fans and enough cooling force for even the most extreme overclocks. The QF120 will be release alongside the H7, scheduled for January 12th in the USA, Japan and Taiwan for 13 USD, 1.700 JPY and 390 NTD respectively. Other regions in Europe and Asia will soon follow in February 2015.

In an age where technology is nearly as essential as the air we breathe, electromagnetic fields (EMFs) are ubiquitous. However, there’s a growing concern about the long-term exposure to EMF radiation. Read on to learn how to reduce EMF radiation in your home.
Understand Where EMF Radiation Comes From
There are many sources of EMF radiation in your home, ranging from the Wi-Fi router that keeps you connected to the world to the microwave that heats your meals. Everyday appliances like televisions, computers, and cell phones can emit EMF radiation, even when not in use. Additionally, less obvious sources, such as electrical wiring within walls and the home’s proximity to power lines, can contribute to EMF levels.
Know That Distance Is Your Friend
One of the simplest ways to reduce EMF exposure is to increase the distance between you and the source. For instance, rather than placing a wireless router in a bedroom or office where you spend a lot of time, it can be positioned in a less frequently used area. Similarly, storing laptops, tablets, and cell phones away from your body, especially during sleep, can help lower your exposure.
Use Wired Connections
Whenever possible, opt for wired connections. Ethernet cables for internet access and wired headsets for cell phones can significantly cut down on your EMF exposure. This approach may seem like a step back in the convenience department, but it’s a leap forward for your health.
Invest in High-Quality EMF Shields
Consider investing in EMF shields for your devices. These are often cases or enclosures made from materials designed to block or reduce EMF radiation. But remember that not all products are created equal, so it’s vital to choose shields that have been independently tested and proven effective.
Power Down When Possible
Make it a habit to turn off electronic devices when they are not in use. This not only saves energy but also reduces EMF radiation. For example, switching off the Wi-Fi at night, unplugging unused appliances, and using power strips to cut power to multiple devices easily can make a difference.
Perform Proper Maintenance and Repairs
Keep your electrical appliances in good working order. Faulty wiring or malfunctioning devices can emit higher levels of EMF radiation. Regular maintenance checks and prompt repairs are good practices not just for EMF reduction but also for overall safety and efficiency.
Now that you know how to reduce EMF radiation in your home, you can take proactive steps to create a safer environment. By understanding the common sources and adopting simple changes, you can significantly lower EMF exposure for yourself and your loved ones.


Argus Monitor 3.5.01 in Windows 10
|Original author(s)||Argotronic UG|
|Written in||C++, C|
|Operating system||Windows 7 and later|
|Available in||3 languages|
|Type||CPU/GPU/Mainboard Fan Control, System temperature and HDD (hard disk drive) health monitor|
Argus Monitor is a software for monitoring temperatures and status of several system components, e.g. CPU temperature, GPU temperature and HDD temperature. All temperatures are displayed numerically as well as graphically. Additionally, the status of the hard disk drive will be monitored by constantly checking the so-called critical SMART attributes. If one attribute decreases, the user is displayed an information (optionally), informing him of decreased HDD health. If one of the SMART attributes reaches its specified threshold, the user gets a warning that a hardware failure is imminent.
As a second major feature, Argus Monitor offers fan control for system and GPU fans using any of the temperature sources available to the program, like CPU, GPU, VRM, mainboard temperatures as well as temperatures of disk drives and SSDs.
Currently, Argus Monitor supports hard disk drives attached to SATA, (P)ATA, eSATA ports and is also one of the very few programs that is able to read S.M.A.R.T. information off of disk drives attached using USB external drive enclosures. Furthermore, Argus Monitor is able to access individual hard drives that are part of a RAID set.
Argus Monitor also measures the CPU core frequency—and graphs it separately for each core --, making it possible to verify if the energy management is underclocking the CPU cores if they are in idle state or the new "Turbo Boost" mode of Intel Core i5/i7 processors is working correctly.
- Currently not all RAID controllers are supported.
- Study by Google regarding the possibility to predict HDD failures by monitoring SMART attributes

Judicial watchdog drops complaint against Hathaway
DETROIT (AP) -The state agency that monitors judges for misconduct is dropping its complaint against Diane Hathaway now that she's no longer on the Michigan Supreme Court.
The Michigan Judicial Tenure Commission said Tuesday there's nothing to gain. Hathaway pleaded guilty last week to federal bank fraud for shifting properties and failing to disclose assets while trying to dump her Detroit-area home in a short sale. She could go to prison and lose her law license.
The commission filed an ethics complaint against Hathaway and sought her suspension on Jan. 7 while she was still on the Supreme Court. That led to news that Hathaway had quietly filed retirement papers in December and was planning to quit on Jan. 21.
She was charged with fraud three days before leaving the court.

Justin Williams also scored and Dwight King added an empty-net goal in the defending Stanley Cup champions' 15th consecutive home victory since March. The Kings have won eight straight home playoff games, dating to last season's title clincher, and they never trailed while ending the top-seeded Blackhawks' five-game postseason winning streak.
Game 4 is Thursday night.
Bryan Bickell scored and Corey Crawford stopped 25 shots for the Blackhawks, who chased Quick from Game 2 and earned back-to-back home victories to open the series last weekend.
The Kings had lost five of their previous seven playoff games before getting back to friendly Staples Center and their sellout crowd. Quick also returned to Conn Smythe Trophy form in Game 3, highlighted by a dazzling late save on Bickell, while his low-scoring teammates generated just enough offense to hold off the Blackhawks, who hadn't lost since Game 4 of the second round.
Jeff Carter had two assists during an inspired effort despite the absence of injured linemate Mike Richards, and Voynov had his fourth multipoint game in a prolific postseason.
The Blackhawks matched their playoff low with just 20 shots, but the Presidents' Trophy winners were one good bounce away from tying the score in the final minutes.
Brandon Saad nearly had an open net after a cross-ice pass from Viktor Stalberg with 5 minutes left, but couldn't collect the puck. Moments later, Keith missed a near-breakaway at the Kings' blue line when Chicago went offside -- and Quick set off a frenzy in the crowd when he improbably stopped Bickell's fine chance late.
The Kings played their second straight game without Richards, their leading postseason scorer heading into Game 3. The veteran center has an apparent concussion after a big hit from Dave Bolland in the series opener.
Richards' absence opened a lineup spot for promising rookie Tyler Toffoli, who has three points in the last two games. The 21-year-old AHL rookie of the year got the primary assist on Voynov's goal.
After the Kings scored just 11 goals in their last seven games, coach Darryl Sutter shook up his lines while facing the prospect of a three-game deficit in the conference finals. Slumping center Anze Kopitar, who might be playing with an injury, was moved back to the third line, while Jarret Stoll moved up to the Kings' nominal top line between Williams and captain Dustin Brown.
Between the line changes and the desperation necessary in such a situation, the Kings came out with a noticeable edge and improved passing. They took the lead just 3:21 in on a strong sequence started and finished by Williams, who forced Nick Leddy's turnover before scoring on a pass from Voynov.
Williams scored two goals in the Kings' victory over San Jose in Game 7 last week, further burnishing his reputation as an elite postseason performer.

Dreiser (1871-1945) is still considered one of the great American realists, or naturalists. His novels deal with everyday life, often with its sordid side. The characters who people his novels, unable to assert their will against natural and economic forces, are mixtures of good and bad, but he seldom passes judgment on them. He describes them and their actions in massive detail. As Dreiser sees them, human beings are not tragic but pathetic in their inability to escape their petty fates. In the end the sheer weight and power of the author's conviction compel the reader to share his compassionate vision.
Born in small-town Indiana, Dreiser rebelled as a youth against the poverty and narrowness of the life around him. One of his high school teachers recognized his talent and paid his tuition at Indiana University. But Dreiser left college after a year because he felt it "did not concern ordinary life at all." He had various jobs in Chicago: washing dishes, shoveling coal, working in a factory, and collecting bills¡Xexperiences which he later used in his writing. He taught himself to be a newspaper reporter and supported himself as a journalist and editor for many years while he was struggling to become recognized as a novelist.


Drinking water tests within safe lead levels
FARMINGTON – When the issue of lead-contaminated drinking water entered the public spotlight earlier this year, residents of many areas of the country began to wonder about the quality of their water.
Those questions were sparked by the situation in Flint, Mich., where the tap water became contaminated with lead after the city changed its drinking water source. Farmington officials say the situation here is different and, except for one home, there is no problem with lead in the drinking water.
Exposure to lead in drinking water can lead to various problems, including damage to the nervous and reproductive systems, and kidneys. It can also cause high blood pressure and anemia. The World Health Organization warns that high levels of lead can cause irreversible learning disabilities and behavioral problems in children.
While Flint caught the nation's attention due to its lead-contaminated water, various other cities have had similar issues.
As part of an investigation by the USA Today Network, The Daily Times examined drinking water in Farmington, Aztec and Bloomfield. Every year, the cities release water quality reports that include test results for lead and copper contamination. In 1991, the Environmental Protection Agency published regulations to control lead and copper in drinking water. Cities were required to take action if lead levels were greater than 15 parts per billion in the drinking water.
At that time, Farmington officials began to evaluate the city's water. Because cities in this area are relatively young compared to cities like Flint, the waterlines are not made of lead. However, during the 1970s and 1980s, lead solder was commonly used in plumbing.
David Sypher, the city of Farmington public works director, said in 1992 the city identified 90 houses built during that time period. The city has since been testing the water at those residences. Over time, some of the owners of those 90 houses decided not to test for lead or upgraded their plumbing. Now, the city tests 30 residences every three years. Before the test, residents are asked not to use their water overnight. The tests are conducted in the morning after the water has been sitting in the pipes for several hours to ensure it is at its worst possible state.
In all the samples taken, only Farmington had a sample come back above the action level. In 2014, when the last lead test was done, the water at one house, located on North Cochiti Avenue, tested at 19 parts per billion for lead.
Sypher said the homeowner had options ranging from changing the plumbing or retesting the water to flushing the line before use.
While that house on Cochiti Avenue tested above action level, it is not the only one where lead solder was used. However, over time, officials say deposited minerals have created protective coatings on the pipes’ interiors. Sypher explained that the water in the Farmington system is slightly basic, registering 7.3 or 7.4 on the pH scale. He said if the water were acidic, it could eat away at those mineral deposits on the interior of the pipes.
The city also has safeguards in place to make sure Animas River water, which supplies most of the drinking water in the city, does not have heavy metals when it enters the water treatment plant. That involves not pumping river water during times of high turbidity and using Farmington Lake to settle metals out of the water.
"We are very proud that our water is not even in the same class as Flint, Mich.," Sypher said.
The most recent water quality reports for Aztec and Bloomfield have not had any samples test above action level for lead.
Aztec City Manager Josh Ray said he does not think the city keeps track of which, if any, service lines could have lead in them. He said if a resident has concerns about lead in the plumbing, the city would refer that individual to a certified plumber.
Bloomfield City Manager Eric Strahl said the city engages in periodic testing to ensure its drinking water is safe.
"I don't think we've really got an issue," he said.

In the meantime, the death of his son and grandson in the course of the last years of the war had left a young good-grandson as heir, raising the prospect of a further troubled regency. Louis XIV’s try to ensure the survival of the dynasty by creating his illegitimate sons eligible for the throne additional alienated crucial court figures. At his death in 1715, Louis XIV left behind a deeply troubled kingdom. His critics hoped that France would now move in the direction of a significantly less centralized government with a much less aggressive foreign policy. Born in 1638, Louis XIV succeeded his father, Louis XIII, as king at the age of 5. Heruled for 72 years, till his death in 1715, producing his reign the longest of any European monarch.
Initially recorded meeting of the Exchequer, an accounting physique developed to monitor the English king’s finances and debtors. Henry I of England negotiates a peace deal with his brother Robert Curthose, Duke of Normandy. Tolerance was the object, but the side effect of that tolerance was the eventual conclusion that if religion was a matter of person selection then any religion was satisfactory as extended as the individual was sincere in his or her belief. If that was the case, then it was increasingly hard to argue that a single religion was necessarily improved or additional true than any other.
This claim was spurious and never ever accepted by the courts, but it colored the chronicles . The big stronghold, which nevertheless exists currently, was built in the shape of a ship, covering 16 acres, with some walls soaring 140 feet high. The education of the Haitians was Henri Christophe’s second priority. He solicited teachers from the United States and Britain to develop schools. This ultimately raised the former slaves to a literacy level unequaled in the Western Hemisphere.
This was a feast day for the two Christian saints Crispin and Crispinian. One of the motives the English were so effective was mainly because their longbows could pierce the armour of the French knights. The conflict virtually claimed Katherine’s life, accused by her opponents of heresy, but saved by her supporters and by an ageing king, who – for when – sided with his wife.
Henry announced he would take a new wife, Adeliza of Louvain, opening up the prospect of a new royal son, and the two had been married at Windsor Castle in January 1121. Henry seems to have chosen her because she was appealing and came from a prestigious noble line. Adeliza appears to have been fond of Henry and joined him in his travels, most likely to maximise the possibilities of her conceiving a youngster.
Historians interpret the words as the moment Henry committed his future to Boleyn, encouraging him to annul his initially marriage to Catherine of Aragon and set himself and England on a collision course with the Pope in Rome. LONDON (Reuters Life!) – A handwritten love letter from Henry VIII to Anne Boleyn, which curators say changed the course of history, is the star exhibit of a new show on the English king who came to energy 500 years ago this week. The Tudor period saw the gradual evolution of England’s medieval army into a bigger, firearm-wielding force supported by effective ships and formidable gun forts. Rising from a modest background to turn into a single of the richest females of her time, Bess was also a tireless and ambitious builder, whose homes symbolised her rise to wealth and power. The last member of 1 of England’s wonderful medieval dynasties, Lady Anne Clifford became a thing of a legend in her own lifetime.
A fresh rebellion broke out amongst the barons in southern Normandy, led by William III, Count of Ponthieu, whereupon Geoffrey and Matilda intervened in assistance of the rebels. Meanwhile, Henry rebuilt his alliance with Fulk of Anjou, this time by marrying Matilda to Fulk’s eldest son, Geoffrey. It is unknown no matter if Henry intended Geoffrey to have any future claim on England or Normandy, and he was probably keeping his son-in-law’s status deliberately uncertain. Similarly, although Matilda was granted a quantity of Normandy castles as portion of her dowry, it was not specified when the couple would essentially take possession of them. Fulk left Anjou for Jerusalem in 1129, declaring Geoffrey the Count of Anjou and Maine.
Catherine asks how significantly interest does she assume they will get from him as he cavorts with his new bride Diane? As for Bash, as quickly as he requires power, he will face unrelenting pressure to do away with them, Mary promises to under no circumstances let that take place. However, Mary Stuart would only agree if Sebastian was named his heir. Mary and Sebastian’s ascent to the throne would not be official until The Pope agreed.
A popular insurrection, in the following year, shook the throne badly and, in 1450, Henry’s great rival, Richard, Duke of York, fantastic-grandson of King Edward III, appeared upon the scene. At what date York determined to play for his personal hand is uncertain. Possibly he was primarily a tool of the ambitious and discontented nobles. At initially view, he professed merely a want to exclude ‘evil counsellors’ — chiefly the Beaufort household — from the King’s presence. Henry would probably have submitted to this or to something but for his ambitious wife.
On July 9th the last rites had been administered and the king died early in the afternoon of the following day. The English longbow, also referred to as the Welsh longbow, was a effective sort of medieval longbow applied to excellent impact against the French through the Hundred Years War, especially at the Battle of Agincourt… Henry constructed on his accomplishment soon afterwards when he returned to France and successfully took Normandy. In January 1419 Rouen was forced to surrender and fearing the worst, the French drew up an agreement recognized as the Treaty of Troyes which confirmed that King Henry V would inherit the French crown after King Charles VI of France.
One more accurately portrayed character in the film can be observed by way of France’s Lady Catherine played by Lily-Rose Depp. In England with Henry V, Lady Catherine pretends that she doesn’t speak English when he commands her to speak it in place of French, but then speaks it fluently. This scene alludes to the fact that in the 1400’s, Henry V was the initial English king to create and read English properly adequate to incorporate it into the customs of the court. As 1 could ask about any historical film, how accurate is the film primarily based on genuine events? The King itself is an adaptation of Shakespeare’s set of historical plays identified as The Henriad, which portrayed the real British monarchs of the 15th century.
The ground was in a shocking state for a battle and presented a field of mud for each sides. The English had lighter armour than their French counterparts and this proved pretty valuable in the battle conditions. But once again, though, it was the longbow that proved decisive as the English archers fired at the enemy from 3 sides. French knights had been knocked off their horses and had their armour pierced by the strong English arrows.
He warned the king ‘that in man’s judgment you are not like to live’ and exhorted him to prepare himself for death. Denny urged the king to keep in mind his sins ‘as becomes each and every superior Christian man to do’. Beneath Cromwell’s laws, it was treason to predict the king’s death. The sixteenth-century remedy for ‘French Pox’ was six weeks of sweating and administration of doses of poisonous mercury which created the patients’ gums red and sore and made copious flows of saliva. But Henry had no lengthy absence from public view reported by the gaggle of ambassadors at his court – nor did he display any symptoms of this horrible treatment.
She died on 27 March 1615 at Hostel de la Reyne Margueritte Paris, she was 61 years old. Was born in Pau in the Kingdom of Navarre, which is in modern-day France. His mother was Queen Joan III and Antoine de Bourbon the Duke of Vendome, who was also the king of Navarre. Antoine was born at La Fère, Picardy, France, the second son of Charles de Bourbon, Duke of Vendôme, and his wife, Françoise d’Alençon He was the older brother of Louis, Prince of Condé.
