U.S. Consulate in Nuevo Laredo Attacked with Explosive as Drug Violence Rises in Northern Mexico
April 12, 2010 By Staff
Today in Latin America
Top Story – Unidentified assailants threw an explosive over the fence of the U.S. Consulate in the border city Nuevo Laredo, Mexico, reigniting anxieties that U.S. authorities are being increasingly targeted by Mexican drug gangs.
A statement posted on the Consulate’s Web site said the attack occurred at around 11 p.m. on Friday and caused window damages, but no injuries.
The authorities are investigating the explosion and have temporarily closed the Consulate in Nuevo Laredo, as well as another in nearby Piedras Negras. “The Consulate General and Consular Agency will reopen when we are confident that we have adequate security to keep our visitors safe,” the press release said.
While the motive for the attack was not clear, The BBC reports that violence has escalated in recent weeks in northern Mexico, due to a conflict between the Gulf cartel and Los Zetas over control over smuggling routes to the United States, the primary market for illegal drugs.
The attack occurred less than a month after the murder of three people with connections to the U.S. Consulate in Ciudad Juárez. The killings, allegedly carried out by one of Mexico’s notorious drug gangs, prompted analysts to wonder if the U.S. was being targeted.
Mexico’s drug war has raged since December of 2006, when newly innaugurated President Felipe Calderón began an military offensive on the Mexican drug traffickers. The University of San Diego has recorded more than 10,000 drug-related murders since January 2007.
The U.S. has spent $700 million since 2008 through the Merida Initiative to aid Mexican security forces, but attacks on U.S. officials, buildings and citizens by drug traffickers have been rare until recently. The Obama administration has requested another $450 million this year to fund the Merida Initiative in Mexico.
First lady Michelle Obama is scheduled visit to Mexico City to meet with President Calderón on Tuesday.

“The leading semiconductor component distributor dedicated to the Asia-Pacific market, Dalian General Holdings, announced that its subsidiary Youshang has launched a complete solution of 750W high-efficiency communication power supply based on ON Semiconductor and US Core Source (MPS) products.
On August 17, 2021, Dalian General Holdings, a leading semiconductor component distributor dedicated to the Asia-Pacific market, announced that its subsidiary Youshang has launched a 750W high-efficiency 750W based on ON Semiconductor and MPS products. A complete solution for communication power.
Figure 1 – Dalian Dayoushang’s Display board for communication power solutions based on ON Semiconductor and MPS products
The rapid development of communication construction has brought great business opportunities to the switched-mode power supply (SMPS) industry, but at the same time it has also brought new challenges to communication power supply designers. At present, most of the communication data centers and large base stations use the method of expanding the capacity of the existing equipment to build new communication equipment. Therefore, the space for the power supply cabinet for the power required by the new communication is often extremely limited. The output power is greatly increased while keeping the volume basically unchanged, that is, the power density is improved.
The communication power solution launched by Dalian Dayoushang this time uses ON Semiconductor NCP1618 control chip in the front-end PFC part. The chip can provide a variety of working modes: when Tcycle is less than the operating frequency of Tclamp, the circuit works in DCM; when Tclamp is greater than Tcycle and less than the operating frequency of TCCM, the circuit works in CRM mode; when Tcycle is greater than 120% * TCCM operating frequency When the circuit works in the CCM working mode, this working mode can better optimize the circuit structure and power consumption.
Figure 2 – Block diagram of the communication power supply scheme of Dalian Dayou Shang based on ON Semiconductor and MPS products
In the DC/DC part of the latter stage, this solution uses ON Semiconductor NCP13992 control chip. NCP13992 is a high-efficiency current mode controller, which can realize 600V gate-level control, which can simplify the layout and reduce the number of external components. High efficiency and lower light load energy consumption. In addition, NCP13992 can directly drive GaN Fet devices, contributing to higher conversion efficiency and higher power density. Not only that, the NCP13992 also provides a complete set of protection functions for safe operation in any application.
In addition, the secondary side of the transformer adopts MP6924 control chip of MPS. MP6924 is an SR controller, which can realize 2-way drive control, which greatly optimizes the circuit and design difficulty. Its unique shutdown control algorithm can greatly Improve the efficiency of the entire product.
Figure 3-Scenario application diagram of Dalian Dayoushang’s communication power solution based on ON Semiconductor and MPS products
Core technical advantages:
• NCP13992 features:
High frequency operation: 20 kHz to 750 kHz;
Quiet Mode Technology;
Current mode control mechanism;
Automatic failure time with maximum aging time clamp.
• NCP13992 advantages:
Improve light load efficiency and avoid transformer noise;
Built-in safety protection to improve transient response;
• NCP13992 application:
Half-bridge resonant converter;
Offline power supply;
LCD, LED and OLED TVs;
High power AC/DC adapter;

Italy Nut Allergy-Friendly + Gluten-Free Travel ItineraryHi! My name is Emily, I’m allergic to peanuts and tree nuts, and I also manage a severe gluten intolerance. I spent 10 days in Italy for my 22nd birthday and had an amazing time exploring Rome, Florence, and Siena. Some of my favorite spots from the trip were Limon’é, a completely nut-free gelato shop in Rome; Mister Pizza, a celiac-friendly pizzeria in Florence; and Klass, a fantastic restaurant and cocktail bar that took amazing care of my allergies. Follow me on Spokin @emsnutfreeeats and on Instagram @emsnutfreeeats and check out my website to see more of my restaurant reviews and travel finds!
Italy Gluten-Free Travel Itinerary
Hi, I’m Ashley! My wife and I just went on our 2 week honeymoon in Italy and I found some great spots in Venice, Florence, Rome, and Positano that accommodated celiac disease. Some highlights were Ramè Sushi, a dedicated gluten-free sushi restaurant; gluten-free pizza at La Soffita Renovatio, chocolate covered cream puffs at Bottega Artigiana Del Gusto, Oreo gelato at Fiocco Di Neve, and focaccia sandwiches at Sgrano! We also spent time at Tuscan Taste Florence for Chef Cary's celiac-safe, gluten-free cooking class, and took several tours. You can see more of my reviews on the Spokin app @andglutenfree and on Instagram @andglutenfree.
Kauai + Maui Gluten-Free Travel ItineraryHi everyone! My name is Hannah and I’m 26 years old. I have celiac disease and I live in Ann Arbor, MI. I just finished the second year of my graduate program so I was thrilled to get away for a vacation at the end of the semester to my favorite place in the world! We went to Kauai and Maui in Hawaii for our trip. I was actually born on Oahu so I try to go back to the islands as much as possible. Hawaii is usually pretty easy in terms of eating gluten-free, because you can always order fresh fish, rice, or have fresh fruit! On this trip, we did lots of hiking, snorkeling, and saw quite a few turtles. I had shave ice at least 5 times because it is my favorite (and usually gluten-free!) treat. Also, I discovered a place that had celiac-safe cinnamon rolls in Maui (Cinnamon Roll Place)! It was the most peaceful trip and there are so many gluten-free spots to try. Check out my reviews on the Spokin app @celiacfoodlover or on my Instagram @celiacfoodlover!
Costa Rica Gluten-Free Travel ItineraryHi, I’m Christina! I'm 28 years old and I have celiac disease. I live in Brooklyn, NY and work as a second grade teacher. I spent a week in Costa Rica this April, planned by Zaney Travel. Zaney Travel is a gluten-free travel company that specializes in visiting celiac-safe restaurants. They also planned all of our excursions and hotels, which made the trip stress-free! It was truly a one of a kind experience! Check out the places we ate and visited on the Spokin app @gflivingbk or on Instagram @glutenfreelivingbk.
Kauai Gluten-Free Travel Itinerary
Hi friends! I’m Katelyn, a 27 year old from Arizona with celiac disease. I recently spent 30 hours in Kauai, Hawaii with my dad and, while the trip was short, we managed to fit in lots of sightseeing and gluten-free restaurants! Kauai is the perfect island to visit if you love doing things outdoors and hiking the Waimea Canyon is a must. I reviewed all my recommendations on the Spokin app @eatglutenfreeaz and you can also follow along with my gluten-free adventures on Instagram @eatglutenfreeaz.
Hawaii Allergy-Friendly Travel ItineraryHi everyone! My name is Natalie and I’m a food allergy mom to my daughter, Penelope, who is allergic to eggs and peanuts. Last summer, we took a family trip to Waikoloa Beach, Hawaii and stayed at The Waikoloa Beach Marriott Resort and Spa. We loved everything about that destination and resort so much that we decided to revisit Waikoloa Beach and stay at that exact same resort this summer! During our week-long stay, we enjoyed all the wonderful pools and the beach right outside the resort! Our go-to restaurants when visiting Hawaii are Tommy Bahama, Kona Brewing Company, Willie’s Hot Chicken, and Hawaii Calls. If you are looking to enjoy some dessert while enjoying the beautiful beach views of Hawaii, then be sure to dine at Lava Lava Beach Club. Follow me on the Spokin app @nmarie and on Instagram @_natalie__marie_ to see more of my reviews from our Hawaii trip!
Maldives Gluten-Free Travel Itinerary
Hi! I'm Esha, and I spent seven days in the Maldives with my husband on a second honeymoon. We stayed at the St. Regis Maldives Vommuli Resort and it was absolutely magical. I have celiac and the resort was able to make almost every type of food celiac-safe. The food at the St. Regis was absolutely incredible. Their Indian food was phenomenal and, as an Indian woman, I’ve had my share of delicious Indian food! We spent our trip indulging in tropical fruits, cocktails, and delicious meals. Traveling to a remote destination can feel intimidating for someone like me, but rest assured that the St. Regis can and will accommodate your dietary restrictions. I highly recommend watching the sunset from Whale Bar with a cocktail or two in hand and trying the signature Bloody Mary of the St. Regis Maldives. It's served in a giant shell! For more details on the restaurants I loved, check out my reviews on Spokin @gfreebasicb and my Instagram @glutenfreebasicb.

With much dedication and hard work, the members renovated and refurbished the barn-like structure into a comfortable house of worship. Benches and an organ were obtained from the Melfort church. Having a good number of young couples with families, as well as dedicated older members, this was a vibrant congregation. The enjoyment of music and plenty of social activity made for good fellowship. In 1994 the members voted to join the Charleswood Church.

Vornado Velocity 3 heater buzzes and turns off after a few seconds
I have a Vornado Velocity 3 space heater. It used to work fine without any issues. One day it shut off and whenever I went to turn it back on it would buzz for a few seconds then make a clicking noise and turn off. I left it alone for a while and then came back to it and it worked like normal again for a while, but eventually it happened again and the heater stopped working. Now it’s been a few days and it won’t work at all. It will turn on, but it will only buzz for a few seconds and then stop working. I’ve tried unplugging it for more than fifteen minutes, and then plugging it back in. I’ve tried all combination of heater settings. I’ve dusted it thoroughly with compressed air and it looks clean internally. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Commercial Printing Bulk – Ink Manufacturer
This customer is a bulk producer of ink for the commercial printing industry.
This customer is a bulk producer of ink for the commercial printing industry. They need to provide their customers with small skids which are designed and built by the ink manufacturer to assit with the transfer of bulk ink into smaller day tanks.
Ink is a notoriously difficult media to meter due to the chemical make up and consistency. The customer needed a flow meter that could accurately measure low flows in a 1/2" pipe, while being very easy to clean out during color changes. Because of the wide range of batch sizes, the meter also needed to have a large turn-down to accommodate both large and small flow rates.
The TRICOR Coriolis meter was recommended for this application because of its "no moving parts" design. The high viscosity of the ink, which usually causes a high pressure drop in PD meters, was not a problem for the TCM-3100 meter. With its 100:1 turn-down, the meter maintained the required accuracy over a large range of desired flow rates. By running the output from the TCM-3100 to a local PLC, the customer is able to ensure that the day tank is never overfilled while also maintaining control over how much ink the end-user is consuming over time.
Solvent waste during the cleaning process was cut down by 75% and color change time was reduced by 50%. This allows the end-user to quickly change between colors to minimize the press down time while filling the day tanks for a run.

My Brilliant Career : Text Classics
Introduction by Jennifer Byrne
This is not a romance I have too often faced the music of life to the tune of hardship to waste time in snivelling and gushing over fancies and dreams; neither is it a novel, but simply a yarn a real yarn. Oh!
Written with all the high spirits of youth, My Brilliant Career is the unforgettable tale of Sybylla Melvin, a headstrong country girl passionate, endearing, stubborn, honest and her fraught journey from rags to riches to rags.

I made this up the other night, with the help of a friendly suggestion from my friend Cat. I was telling her I didn't know what I was going to make for a potluck on Tuesday night, but mentioned making some kind of Alfredo and dumping it over cooked spaghetti squash.
She says: "You know, there's a recipe out there saying you can make alfredo sauce with chickpeas."
Me: "WHA?? I totally have chickpeas!"
And the rest is history. ;)
I found a full recipe on how to make it here, but I didn't feel like following it exactly because I knew I didn't have all of the ingredients. So I did a lot of eyeballing & tasting, and guess what - it turned out AMAZING.
This is not only a great comfort-food recipe for all you vegans out there, but also totally low-carb, with some added protein comin' from the beans! GO ME!!
Vegan Spaghetti Squash Alfredo
1 spaghetti squash, quartered (& all the seeds scraped out)
About 8-10oz fresh spinach
1 can of cooked chickpeas / garbanzo beans (no salt added, preferably - drained)
Juice from 1/2 a lemon
Soymilk (unsweetened), or Almond milk, about 1/4 to 1/2 a cup
Vegan butter (optional), about 1-2 tbsp
Garlic Salt, about 1 tbsp
Nutmeg, about 1 tsp
Nutritional yeast (about 2-3 tbsp)
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Drizzle the spaghetti squash with the olive oil, and place flesh-side-down on a cookie sheet with a rimmed edge. Place in the oven & cook for about 40-50 minutes, or until tender.
Scrape the spaghetti squash out with a fork crosswise into a casserole dish (it will come out looking just like spaghetti! Just like the name, eh?). Toss the spinach in, and set aside.
In a food processor, dump in the chickpeas and a little splash of boiling water. Pulse until slightly smooth, then add in the rest of the ingredients on the list and continue to pulse. Season to taste (I was a little generous with the garlic salt). Don't add too much soymilk initially - see how thick you want it. It's best to have it a little runny at this point.
Dump everything over your squash, and mix well (you'll need to get it all the way to the bottom). Place in the oven for about 20 minutes at 400 degrees, or until bubbly. The sauce will thicken a bit after this!
VOILA!! A gorgeously delicious dish!! :)
This was great re-heated the next day too. I always love leftovers!

With time running out on the current legislative session in Albany, state Assemblywoman Aravella Simotas (D-Astoria) rallied with fellow elected officials, advocates and families in the state Capitol Wednesday calling on fellow lawmakers to pass her Fair Access to Fertility Treatment Act. Simotas’ bill requires health insurance policies to provide coverage for in-vitro fertilization and fertility preservation treatments.
“When people struggle with infertility, they are dealing with a heart-breaking medical condition,” Simotas said. “So it is unconscionable that in-vitro fertilization, which is the gold standard of treatment, is so expensive that it’s out of reach for couples wanting to have children. It’s time to give people the benefit of the best treatments available when they want to have a family , without discriminating on the basis of marital status, sexual orientation or other personal characteristics.”
In addition, the bill repeals discriminatory restrictions for coverage that are based on age, disability, medical dependency or personal characteristics such as marital status or sexual orientation.
“Over many years I’ve personally delivered hundreds of babies,” CNY Fertility Center Founder and Director Dr. Robert Kiltz said. “Two things I know: one the immense joy and happiness a new mom or dad has when there has been infertility and now they have their new baby. Second, over these years there has been a huge improvement in the science of helping bring a new baby into the world for people who have the disease of infertility or have treatments for cancer and other diseases that can destroy their fertility. I know firsthand that modern up-to-date treatments make a big difference. People have babies they couldn’t otherwise have. I urge New York legislators to pass legislation to update New York’s decade’s-old law on infertility treatment and require health insurers to offer it.”
The bill also provides a clear definition of infertility as a disease characterized by the incapacity to impregnate or the incapacity to conceive as diagnosed by a physician or the failure to establish a clinical pregnancy after 12 months of regular, unprotected sexual intercourse. The law would also mandate coverage for fertility preservation services for cancer patients and others whose necessary medical treatments, such as surgery, radiation and chemotherapy damage reproductive health.
“This legislation has the potential to save millions of dollars in long-term health care costs, since patients would no longer be forced to rely on higher risk medical procedures,” Simotas said.

US – A coalition of non-profit industry and non-governmental organizations in the fresh produce sector has unveiled the Alliance for Sustainable Packaging for Foods (ASPF).
The ASPF is a global initiative that aims to revolutionize food packaging regulation by championing a holistic and harmonized approach, focusing on environmental sustainability while ensuring food safety and public health.
The alliance seeks to engage regulators and governments worldwide to endorse comprehensive packaging regulations that reduce environmental impact without compromising crucial aspects of the food supply chain.
Among the listed founding members of ASPF is International Fresh Produce Association, Fruit South Africa, Aneberries, Canadian Produce Marketing Association, FMI – The Food Industry Association, Frutas de Chile, National Milk Producers Federation, National Council of Farmers Coops, National Wooden Pallet and Container Association, North American Meat Institute, Organic Trade Association, Reusable Packaging Association, STOP Foodborne Illness, U.S. Dairy Export Council, and Western Growers Association.
Max Teplitski, PhD, Chief Science Officer of the International Fresh Produce Association and Chair of ASPF, emphasized the non-negotiable commitment to food safety and quality in the pursuit of reduced packaging waste.
“Members of ASPF are clear: we are committed to significantly reducing packaging waste, just not at the expense of food safety,” he stated.
Todd Hoff, Executive Vice President at Reusable Packaging Association and vice chair of the alliance, highlighted the potential for sustainable packaging solutions to enhance product protection and temperature management.
“The Reusable Packaging Association values our participation in this wide-ranging industry alliance to support the transformation to more circular reuse systems while upholding the highest food standards,” he noted.
Holistic approach and working groups
According to the International Fresh Produce Association, the ASPF acknowledges the need for a holistic approach and will establish working groups to drive priorities and action plans.
These groups will focus on government relations strategies and technical approaches to advocate for packaging regulations that are both compliant and technically pragmatic for industry implementation.
The organization emphasizes ongoing consideration and consultation throughout value chains to ensure widespread buy-in and sustainable success.
The alliance has also released a position paper analyzing peer-reviewed publications that delve into the trade-offs between food safety and packaging.
Interested organizations are encouraged to contact Max Teplitski for information on joining the Alliance.
As the ASPF gains momentum, its collaborative efforts signal a promising shift towards a more sustainable future for global food packaging practices.

Caught on camera: Mountain lions nearer to us in the Bay Area than we know
The most fascinating creature caught on wildlife cameras in the Bay Area may be the mountain lion, a large carnivore that lives close by, occasionally slipping among us, but rarely seen.
Sherry Adams, a biologist who lives at the Modini Mayacamas Preserves northeast of Healdsburg, jokes that “the mountain lions know me by name,” even though they stay out of sight.
“They are in fact there,” she said. “The cameras show them enough. We know they are around more often than we see them.”
Biologists say the big cats with the long, thick tails are among the first species to disappear as the natural habitat becomes fragmented.
But scientists say these top predators, or “ecosystem regulators,” are important to help maintain the balance of plants and animals.
They keep deer herds on the move so they don’t overgraze, resulting in less erosion along riverbanks, for example. They also open up habitat for other species, according to organizations devoted to protecting mountain lions.
Common names for the mountain lion include cougar, panther, puma and catamount, but it’s all the same creature.
They used to be found throughout the United States, but they are now primarily in 14 western states. There is a small endangered population in Florida.
Groups that study and advocate for mountain lions worry about their long-term prospects for survival as human activity shrinks their range.
“The lion could easily go extinct in parts of the West under our watch,” said Zara McDonald, director for the Bay Area Puma Project, the first large-scale research, education and conservation program for mountain lions in and around the Bay Area.
She wants to avoid the shrinking of the population that’s occurred in other areas such the Santa Monica Mountains in Southern California. She said there are six or seven mountain lions there now, compared to about 50 three decades ago.
The basic question at work in such areas, McDonald said: “Is it possible in the long term to coexist with humans?”
Her organization uses cameras and GPS collars to analyze mountain lion movements, and to promote better coexistence and less conflict between pumas and people.
“They are clearly misunderstood,” she said. “Our goal is to raise awareness and compassion and general understanding of what they are, how they move in the landscape. They are not stalking you every time you go on a trail. They aren’t interested in you.”
Their intelligence, resilience, looks and strength make them rock stars of the animal kingdom. “Charismatic flagships for conservation” is how Paul Beier, a biology and wildlife ecology professor at Northern Arizona University, describes them.
Capable of impressive physical feats, mountain lions can bound up to 40 feet while running, leap 15 feet up a tree, climb over a 12-foot fence and reach speeds of 50 mph in a sprint, according to the website mountainlion.org.
A typical adult male weighs 110 to 180 pounds and a female, 80 to 130 pounds.
Generally they can be found wherever there are deer - their main source of food - but foothills and mountains are their most suitable remaining habitat.
Property owners can reduce their risk of encountering a lion by deer-proofing their landscape, clearing dense brush around the home and installing outdoor lighting that makes it difficult for lions to approach unseen.
Mountain lions mostly hunt at night. They are notorious loners and don’t move in packs, maintaining territories that average 100 square miles. Males don’t coexist and have been known to go vast distances to find their own domain.
Technically, mountain lions are neither threatened nor endangered in California, but are classified a “specially protected species” and cannot be hunted, according to the state Department of Fish and Wildlife.
There are roughly between 4,000 to 6,000 mountain lions statewide, according to Fish and Wildlife.
But McDonald says that estimate is a crude extrapolation and believes the population is less, perhaps 2,500 to 3,000 lions. There also is illicit hunting in some areas.
As humans and development constrain mountain lion movements, their genetic diversity is threatened. Mountain lions also seem to be dying younger, according to McDonald.
Mountain lions can be killed in California only if a depredation permit is issued to take a specific lion for killing livestock, pets, to protect listed bighorn sheep, or to preserve public safety.
Problems have occurred when they prey on goats and sheep, in the East Bay or Santa Cruz Mountains, for example.
But attacks on humans are rare, with only 17 verified attacks in California since 1890, six of them fatal. The last documented incident was last year, when a six-year-old boy was attacked on a hiking trail near Cupertino.
Studies of collared mountain lions show they often coexist around people, unseen and unheard.
McDonald said she is astounded by how close the mountain lions they track come to busy trailheads in places on the San Francisco Peninsula, near Pacifica and Daly City, for example.
Her organization plans to implement GPS collar tracking of lions in Sonoma, Marin and Napa counties, and potentially Mendocino County.
One aim, she said, is “trying to understand movements of lions around potential vineyards,” as well as “trying to understand how they’re moving in and around human activity, moves they make when they hit barriers, and dispersal - where are they headed?”
Editor’s note: A previous version of this story incorrectly stated the year and location of the last documented mountain lion attack on a human. The story has been updated with the correct information.

The long awaited G-20 Summit in Argentina has started and market participants will be looking for tradeable headlines as the discussions and negotiations take form.
The original agenda of the two-day summit was to focus on infrastructure, climate change and food security for developing nations.
Those original topics will likely be sidelined as US/Chinese trade friction, crude oil production and heightened Middle East tensions will overshadow the gathering of world leaders.
Global equity markets, and the G-7 currency pairs, have firmed this week on the hopes that the US and China will find some common ground to begin diffusing their increasingly hostile trade dispute.
At this point we know that Presidents Xi and Trump will have dinner together on Saturday night. As a preface to that meeting, China’s VP Liu expressed his pledge that China has taken steps to open up their domestic markets.
Most market commentators and some US officials agree that this is the right direction, but just not progressing at a fast enough pace to reach an agreement this weekend.
As the trade dispute between the world’s two biggest economies extends in time, it has also seems to have become broader in scope.
In the lead up to this weekend’s summit, the US administration’s criticism of China has extended beyond commerce and trade practices and now has added focus on political and strategic initiatives; which include the One Belt One Road and the Made In China 2025 initiatives.
It’s worth noting that this tangent away from pure trade negotiations by the US administration has received bi-partisan support and approval from several US-based technology firms and corporations.
Since Mr Trump’s policies usually get nothing but criticism from both the Democrats and Silicon Valley, this rare support has emboldened the White House to press harder.
As such, we expect the likely outcome of this weekend will be a resumption of trade talks for early in the new year.
From a market perspective, Forex traders will be focused on tariff talk; will the US proceed in raising the current 10% to 25% in January, and will the process start to add a new tariff on an additional $250 billion worth of imports?
On balance, we consider the rolling back of current tariffs as a high bar to clear and the resumption of talks as the likely outcome. Our Forex positioning will look past the G-20 meeting and remain USD positive.
We are currently short the EUR/USD from 1.1560. We suggest holding short from 1.1560 with an initial target of 1.1215 and a 1.1495 stop.
The Sterling has drifted lower this week as UK risk assessments are seeing a hard Brexit as more likely. We suggest holding short from 1.2880 with an initial target of 1.2615 and a 1.3015 stop.
The AUD/USD has been the biggest beneficiary of the hopes of a trade agreement this weekend. The pair reached a 3-month high of .7330 during the London session last night.
We are currently holding short from an average price of .7255. We suggest adding to short positions at .7310, or better, with an initial target of .6980 and a .7425 stop.
The USD/JPY is still trading in a relatively narrow range and is now sitting just above the 30-day moving average of 113.10. We suggest holding short from 113.25 with an initial target of 110.30 and a 11480 stop.

It is rumored that Kit Harington, who plays Jon Snow in the series, has revealed last season ending to his wife, Rosie Laslie.
Kit Harington playing the character of Jon Snow in an interview admitted that he revealed the “Game of Thrones” ending to his wife, Rosie Leslie. She also played one of the main roles in the famous HBO series. He even added that through this spoiler she did not speak to him for three days.
The actress denied that Kit revealed her the ending of the 8th season of the series. What he spoiler her was about the ending of the 7th season.
To be fair I was probably rather ridiculous in the way I phrased it. I was like, ?Tell me some things, but don?t tell me other things.? But I actually don?t know the ending to [the show] because, believe it or not, it?s such a monumental phenomenal show, and I want to be like the rest of the world and watch it in real time and get that build up and anticipation. I want to finally come to the final episode and truly ? and I honestly mean this ? truly not know which way it goes. – Leslie said.
However, the actress revealed that this time she asked Harington for small details, but she did not know the final ending. She wants to experience this last season in front of the screens just like every viewer and enjoy this great show, which the creators have prepared.

In the not-so-distance past, we called for stiffer penalties for taggers, those narcissistic scourges who spray their fake names all over Long Beach and other towns.
But when Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa offered this week to personally mentor the tagger who allegedly wrote graffiti on his bus during a visit to the Santee Education Complex, we stopped to think.
Is it a good idea to reward an accused tagger – one allegedly photographed in the act – with the valuable time of one of the nation’s powerful mayors?
You bet it is.
Villaraigosa offered forgiveness to what appears to be a troubled youth as well as a chance to do some work that could move his life forward – clearly an unfamiliar direction to anyone accused of writing on buses. Villaraigosa changed his mind on the matter after first saying the boy deserved punishment.
Maybe Long Beach City Hall should take notice of this interesting approach. We did.
The idea of taking someone who has harmed another and giving them opportunities should remind us all that forgiveness is one of the more attractive qualities humans possess. Though the dominant religions have been telling us this for centuries, giving and receiving forgiveness just feels good.
We believe, however, that the person seeking forgiveness must prove contrition by apologizing and paying for any damages to people or property.
Villaraigosa called the tagging incident “a cry for help.” Most youth crimes are.
Shadowing the mayor could go a long way in the life of this alleged offender. Of course it wouldn’t be hard to find kids more deserving of such an opportunity.
There is no practical way to take every collared tagger – or straight arrow – under the government’s wing. But by offering to help one kid, Villaraigosa made a statement that maybe everyone who can should consider mentoring, tutoring, advising or hiring kids kids who have made mistakes.
L.A. City Hall isn’t the only building with qualified mentors.

While mob lynching is murder, still India doesn’t have strict laws regarding mob lynching be it for political reasons or administrative reasons.The recent judgment on the controversial Rakbar Khan case by the Sessions Court, Alwar has further highlighted the pressing nature of addressing mob lynching in India, Rakbar Khan case epitomizes a disconcerting manifestation of mob lynching and its profound ramifications on the intricate social fabric of India. This incident underscores the urgency for comprehensive legislation and proactive measures to prevent such acts of violence and preserve the social fabric. Mob-Lynching is gradually becoming a threat to humanity, Despite its potential to destabilize social harmony, India’s legal system lacks specific legislation to address mob lynching. This paper aims to explore the reasons behind the system’s laxity in addressing this issue, the absence of appropriate laws, and the destructive impact of mob lynching on social cohesion. By shedding light on these aspects, this study highlights the urgent need for stringent legal measures to curb this horrific practice.
Mob-lynching is one of those horrific crimes in which a person is targeted by a group of people, and the violence is equivalent to crimes against the human body or property, both public and private.It is a violent act in which a gang of people, acting together, target and illegally kill a person.
The origin of the word ‘lynch’ is said to have originated during the American Revolution phrased as ‘Lynch Law’ which is a punishment without trial. The word ‘lynch’ or ‘lynch law’ has been derived from two Americans known as Charles Lynch and William Lynch who were from Virginia.
Number of innocent people in the recent years were brutally killed on the hands of those who were motivated by certain beliefs or words, A rise in cases of mob lynching in India can be seen as a grave issue posed in front of us in this 21st century. One of the reasons for mob-lynching in India is cow slaughter or beef consumption especially in Northern part of the country, As cow is holy to the Hindus and they worship it as mother, certain segment in the community has staunch belief that whoever goes on to kill a cow, consumes beef or trades cow for their meat products is against their idea and they end up committing. During the Durga Pooja time in West Bengal a lot of mob attacks were committed on Hindu worshipers, by this we can clearly see that it’s not a thing related to a religion or blasphemy but a menace which certain proportion of populace possesses in the contemporary society.
Amidst high-profile incidents of hate violence against religious and caste minorities, the Indian Supreme Court laid down a series of guidelines to address mob violence and lynching in its July 2018 Tehseen Poonawalla order. The order mandated a police supervisory structure and stronger official accountability, more stringent penal provisions, victim and witness protection, and more expansive compensation and rehabilitation schemes. It also recommended the enactment of an anti-lynching legislation.The proposed legislation, which has garnered considerable attention and yet remains pending, has ignited a fervent debate surrounding its implementation. In recent times, the Indian landscape, particularly regions such as Rajasthan, Western Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Bihar, and others, has witnessed a surge in disconcerting incidents. The harrowing phenomenon of mob lynching, fueled by religious fervor, has gained momentum, transcending the boundaries of communal categorizations, including minority, majority, scheduled castes, and scheduled tribes. Regardless of religious affiliation, individuals find themselves vulnerable, subjected to baseless allegations branding them as beef consumers, child abductors, practitioners of sorcery, enemies of the state, or blasphemers.
Prevailing consensus that pervades societal discourse
In the recent wave of lynching exhibited across India, a combined effect of political, socio-economic, and psychological factors has led to a situation of hyper-reactivity among large populations even in rural areas and small towns. These factors which instigated the people include deep discontent and anger in rural youth populations due to the worsened agriculture crises and bleak employment opportunities. One important factor responsible for these lynching is “Rise of fake news and misinformation”, as we know Indian government is rapidly moving towards providing internet to it’s citizens As of May,2023 around 52% of India can have access to Internet, But the government is not recognizing the need to educate people regarding the information or news provided on internet. We don’t know if the information is genuine or not, on the basis of some fake pictures people were attacked out of anger. Social prejudices and intolerance can also be seen as one of the reasons mobs have lynched individuals in the past and still can be seen in some parts of Odisha, Odisha witnessed 19 witchcraft-related murders in 2019, while there were 18 murders each in 2018 and 2017 as well as 25 in 2016 and murders due to witchcraft were also reported from Jharkhand (8), Uttar Pradesh (7), Andhra Pradesh (4) the NCRB data showed.
In the Rakbar Khan case, Alwar court acquitted one VHP leader from the trial stating lack of evidence, even though there was a telephonic conversation between the VHP leaders and assailants. Organized crimes like these pose a huge threat to our societal structure.
Adding to these unruly activities, political interests have cultured an atmosphere of morose suspicion and hatred towards religious minorities who are perceived as outsiders which are being aggressively propagated through social media. In many states, the ruling allowance has projected a sense of political freedom to vigilante groups who attack minorities. So, Dictatorial power and truth are mutually exclusive, they can never travel to-gather. When it comes to the legal system, we don’t have rigid laws for justice, But it is possible under Section 223(a) of the (CRPC) to prosecute together two or more people accused of the same offenses committed in the course of “same transaction’’. But the provision falls short of an adequate legal framework, in the sense it doesn’t solely recognize mob-lynching as a crime for prosecuting lynch mobs. So, there is a need to make the bills introduced by the members of parliament as well as suggestions from the Supreme Court to curb such violence.The discerning observer cannot help but notice a disconcerting trend within a particular faction of political circles, wherein the pursuit of populism eclipses the imperative of upholding justice and preserving societal harmony. Regrettably, there are instances where certain politicians, driven by the pursuit of appeasement, lend their support to acts such as mob lynching, and in some cases, even indirectly engage in such reprehensible activities. This prevailing state of affairs necessitates a critical juncture wherein our political representatives must embrace a profound comprehension of the intrinsic values that underpin our diverse democracy.
Below stated are some steps through which Mob Lynchings can be prevented:
- State Governments should appoint a senior police officer, not below the rank of a S.P., who should act as the Nodal officer, Special team should be formed under this officer which will exclusively look into the matter of mob Lynchings, use preventive measures to stop spread of fake news which might have the potential of causing grievous harm to the society through false incitement.
- A special wing for mob lynchings should be made under the ambit of Human Rights Commission be it at State level or National Level for a thorough glance through the matter. Currently there exists no such branch in the Commission. Make sure that adequate monetary compensation, Government job to a family member or both should be given by the State. This will make even the law enforcement agencies more vigilant and transparent, because when we are dealing with such grave issues, chances of lax behavior or corruption might pop up in the future.
- Anti-lynching legislation is the need of hour, without having stringent laws to stop lynchings will make it worse and no better. We can see how the Rajasthan Assembly passed the Rajasthan Protection from Lynching Bill, 2019, providing for life imprisonment and a fine from ₹1 lakh to ₹5 lakh to those convicted in cases of mob lynching leading to the victim’s death. These are some steps through which we can try to make this place free of arbitrary killings of innocents and provide them relief when required.
The resounding clarion call of our Constitution, emblazoned with the words “We the People of India,” epitomizes the essence of our nationhood. It bespeaks a profound truth: that the collective will and endeavor of each and every individual residing within the boundaries of this sovereign state intertwine to form the very fabric of our cherished nation. Hence, it becomes a matter of deep concern and reflection when we observe acts of injustice that tarnish the harmony and tranquility we ought to collectively embrace. It is a lamentable reality that some among us are subjected to unfairness and inequity, engendering an environment that runs counter to the ideals of peace and coexistence. Rather than nurturing a climate of amity, we find ourselves traversing a treacherous path, one marred by the afflictions of discrimination and prejudice. Such actions not only contravene the principles enshrined within our constitutional framework but also impede the realization of our shared vision for a harmonious society.
Judicious path of progression
The recent Rakbar Khan case has also highlighted the fact that the very mindset behind the act of lynching is a weapon against our country. It goes against every aspect of our country, as stated in the Preamble of the Constitution of India. In contemplation of our current predicament, it becomes evident that the culpability for the prevailing state of affairs lies not solely with the flawed system or the transgressors themselves. Instead, we must recognize that a profound transformation in the collective consciousness is imperative. To effectuate lasting change, both institutional reforms and a fundamental shift in individuals’ mindsets are indispensable. It is incumbent upon us to acknowledge our shared responsibility for the prevailing malaise. Mere reliance on the statutes and regulations in place will prove insufficient in addressing the deep-rooted issues we confront. Rather, a united front, a convergence of our energies, is the imperative need of the hour. As the sons and daughters of our beloved motherland, it falls upon us to forge an indomitable alliance, to stand resolute as a singular force, and to vanquish this abhorrent evil that plagues our nation. Our lawmakers should make an effort to create a legal framework for mob lynching that respects human rights and dignity and on the other hand, is in sync with each party involved. We should make this issue a social thing on which our future depends and make efforts to save the public harmony of our country, which is famous for its diversity, and make this country a better place to live for everyone.

text: In St. Louis, Missouri, U.S., a pay-what-you-can grocery store stays in business, all thanks to customers who pick their price. In 2021, the U.S. Department of Agriculture estimated 13.5 million households in the U.S. experienced food insecurity. That same year, MARSH Grocery opened to fill the gap in affordable, healthy food access in the city's Carondelet neighborhood. Fresh produce from MARSH comes straight from the cooperative's urban farm lots. When patrons go to the check-out counter to purchase their groceries, they are given an option to pay up to 20 percent more or less. Currently, the approach mostly breaks even, with above-price payments nearly matching discounted ones. In its 15-month run so far, MARSH does not yet cover its own costs; similar to other nonprofit groceries in the U.S., grants, volunteer hours, and a spirit of experimentation helps the experiment stay afloat. As the nonprofit grows, founder Beth Neff hopes to formalize the operation as a worker-owned cooperative.

Manchester United offer £25m for Alexis Sánchez in attempt to hijack City deal This article is more than 2 years old • City submitted £20m bid for Arsenal forward earlier this week Arsenal's new Adidas deal draws them level with Chelsea in Premier League kit maker stakes... but Manchester United are still way out in front. Arsenal's new £300m kit deal has bumped them up. Arsenal will increase their spending power from 2019 by around £20 million a year after agreeing a new shirt sponsorship deal with Emirates that will be worth more than £200 million until 2024.
Manchester United Football Club is a professional football club based in Old Trafford, Greater Manchester, England, that competes in the Premier League, the top flight of English football.Nicknamed 'the Red Devils', the club was founded as Newton Heath LYR Football Club in 1878, changed its name to Manchester United in 1902 and moved to its current stadium, Old Trafford, in 1910.

Happy Birthday Jack Kerouac!
He was a wide spirit, a dazzling voice that revealed a landscape of art and metaphor, a believer in humanity, a dreamer, a doer and an explorer of metaphysical consciousness. He was also a recluse, socially awkward, a drug abuser, an alcoholic and a man who became so overwhelmed with his own fame it ultimately destroyed him.
Yet to my thinking there are two types of people in this world; those that ‘get’ Kerouac, and those that do not. I am in the first category, of course 🙂
Jean-Louis Lebris de Kérouac (aka Jack) was born on March 12, 1922 in Lowell Massachusetts to French Canadian parents who had emigrated from Quebec. Little Jack spoke French as a child and reportedly did not learn English until he was six years old. Yet he went on to become one of the most prolific and controversial American writers of the 20th century.

Brandon Flynn is a talented actor known for his roles in hit TV shows like “13 Reasons Why” and “True Detective.” But beyond his on-screen work, Flynn has been making headlines for his romantic relationships. In this article, we’ll take a closer look at who Brandon Flynn is dating now, his past relationships, and the rumors surrounding his love life.
Relationship Wiki Table:
Brandon Flynn’s most notable past relationship was with the Grammy award-winning singer Sam Smith. The couple dated from 2017 to 2018 and often shared photos of each other on social media. However, they eventually broke up due to conflicting schedules and the pressures of a long-distance relationship.
Since his breakup with Sam Smith, Brandon Flynn has been linked to several Hollywood celebrities. In 2019, rumors circulated that he was dating Scottish actor Richard Madden after they were spotted together at a concert. However, the rumors were never confirmed by either party.
In 2020, there were rumors that Flynn was dating actor Zachary Quinto after they were seen hanging out together in New York City. Again, neither Flynn nor Quinto confirmed or denied the rumors.
Current Relationship Status:
As of 2023, Brandon Flynn’s current relationship status appears to be in a relationship with his rumored boyfriend, actor Miles Heizer. The two have been spotted together numerous times, and their social media pages feature several photos of them together.
Brandon Flynn has not publicly confirmed any breakups since his split with Sam Smith in 2018.
- Brandon Flynn was born on October 11, 1993, in Miami, Florida.
- He studied acting at the Mason Gross School of the Arts at Rutgers University.
- Flynn made his acting debut in the TV series “BrainDead” in 2016.
- He is an advocate for LGBTQ rights and has used his platform to raise awareness on issues affecting the community.


text: Once a prominent member of the Moscow circle of conceptualists, Ilya Kabakov has become one of the most highly regarded artists working today. His Sitting-in-the-Closet Primakov, from the series Ten Persons 1971–3, is included in Open Systems: Rethinking Art c.1970. It tells the story of a small boy who leaves a closet to discover, through the world, higher and higher levels of abstraction. Since 1989, all the artist’s work has been a collaboration with his wife Emilia Kabakov. Much of this work consists of installations and environments, often evoking the social history of twentieth-century Russia. The Kabakovs will be in conversation discussing their work, past and present.

- AUD/USD bulls take a breather after posting the biggest daily gains in a week.
- Market sentiment remains cautiously optimistic ahead of the key US inflation data.
- Australia’s NAB Business Conditions, Business Confidence improved in January.
- US Dollar pullback ahead of US CPI joins hope of upbeat Aussie job numbers, hawkish RBA talks to favor pair buyers.
AUD/USD seesaws around 0.6970-60 as it lacks upside momentum amid cautious markets during the early hours of all-important Tuesday. While portraying the pre-data anxiety, the Aussie pair fails to cheer the upbeat prints of the National Australia Bank’s (NAB) monthly sentiment data.
Australia’s NAB Business Confidence rose to 6.0 in January, from -1.0 prior and 1.0 expected while the NAB Business Conditions rallied to 18.0 compared to 8.0 expected and 12.0 prior. It’s worth noting that Australia’s Westpac Consumer Confidence, flashed earlier in Asia, dropped to -6.9% for February versus 5.0% prior.
It’s worth noting, however, that the US Dollar’s positioning for the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for January and softer Treasury bond yields join firmer equities to put a floor under the AUD/USD prices. Alternatively, hawkish Fed talks and the market’s doubts over the Reserve Bank of Australia’s (RBA) hawkish concerns seem to cap the Aussie pair’s run-up ahead of all-important US inflation numbers.
On Monday, Fed Governor Michelle Bowman said that the Federal Reserve will need to continue to raise interest rates in order to get them to a level high enough to bring inflation back down to the central bank’s target rate, per Reuters. Before him, Philadelphia Federal Reserve President Patrick Harker pushed back the chatters of a Fed rate cut during 2023. However, the policymaker did mention, “Fed not likely to cut this year but may be able to in 2024 if inflation starts ebbing.” His comments were mostly in line with Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s cautious optimism and exerted downside pressure on the US Dollar.
At home, the RBA appeared hawkish but the quarterly statement from the Aussie statement raise doubts on the more rate lifts as it downplays inflation forecasts, which in turn challenged the AUD/USD bulls.
Elsewhere, S&P 500 Futures print mild gains while Australia’s ASX 200 rises 0.35% on a day by the press time, which in turn follows Wall Street’s gains and favors the AUD/USD bulls.
Looking ahead, AUD/USD traders should pay attention to the US CPI data as the recent Federal Reserve (Fed) comments appear light when suggesting more rate hikes. Also, the Fed policy pivot talks aren’t far from the table and hence any disappointment from the US inflation numbers won’t hesitate to propel the Aussie pair further toward the north.
A clear upside break of the eight-day-old descending resistance line, now support around 0.6920, keeps AUD/USD buyers hopeful as they approach the 21-DMA hurdle surrounding the 0.7000 psychological magnet.

The AUD/USD is seen consolidating near the 0.6960 level on Wednesday morning, maintaining its presence above the 0.6950 support line even as upbeat Australian National Australia Bank (NAB) data has surfaced. Here, markets focus is now shifting to the upcoming US inflation figures due later in the day.
The pair has returned to its positive trajectory after a brief period of pressure yesterday, when it declined to intra-day low of 0.6950 in response to overnight divergences between regional CPI figures. The Australian economy is seen as faring relatively better than the rest of the world still, as visible in the NAB data which just emerged today. According to the report, the National Australia Bank’s Business Confidence clocked up a reading of 8 in April, whereas previous month the reading was 6. This is the first time in 8 months that the reading has been in the positive territory, indicating that the local economy was able to fight off the economic damage due to COVID-19, although it still has a long way to go in recovering to pre-pandemic levels.
This was largely reflected in the short-term AUD/USD movements, with the pair managing to hold on to its gains even as risk sentiments remain feeble in the market ahead of US inflation numbers due later today. The US Labor Department’s Consumer Price Index (CPI) for April 2021, which is set to be released at 12:30 GMT, is expected to see a reading of 4.7%, up from its previous figure of 4.2%. Any positive surprise in the data could firm up demand for the greenback, putting a lid on the recent AUD/USD run-up.
The AUD/USD is hence seen as maintaining its sideways trajectory in the near-term, with investors staying put on the sidelines as they await further catalysts before making a move. That being said, positive signs coming in his regards to the Australian economy, along with signs of global economic recovery, could help the AUD/USD avoid larger declines as investors opt for positions in riskier currencies.

Naomi Campbell has blasted editors at Elle Germany over a tone-deaf feature about black models.
On Tuesday, the fashion watchdogs behind Instagram account Diet Prada took aim at the publication over its November 2019 issue, which had a white model on the cover along with the tagline “Back to Black,” and an article inside about black models titled “Black is Back”, in which Janaye Furman was misidentified as Naomi Chin Wing.
In response, British supermodel Naomi has taken to Instagram to express her dismay over the magazine’s misplaced attempt to highlight diversity in the fashion industry and begged editor-in-chief Sabine Nedelchev to reach out to either herself or other pioneers, like Bethann Hardison and Iman, for advice.
“Your mistake it is highly insulting in every way, you go further to say that BACK TO BLACK, even if you ment (sic) the fashion it’s misleading on your headline and Type !!!” she began. “I’ve said countless of times we are not a TREND. We are here to STAY. It’s OK to celebrate models of colour but please do it in an ELEGANT and RESPECTFUL way.”
Naomi went on to comment that she finds it “very disappointing” when models are mislabelled in magazine spreads and noted that she has recently noticed other rising stars being confused with South Sudanese-Australian model Adut Akech.
“Do you know what it feels like to do the job and not even be given the right name credit? Very disappointing to say the least. If you would like a conversation to know how to have a diverse mind we are here to sit and accommodate,” the 49-year-old fired. “It’s very important for a publication to be culturally sensitive and give credit where it’s due. We all need to unite on this matter.”
Accordingly, a number of Naomi’s celebrity pals shared their support for her stance in the comments section of her post, including make-up artist Sir John, Ebonee Davis, Linda Evangelista, and Pierpaolo Piccioli, with Bethann writing a lengthy note insisting the magazine bosses should be “embarrassed by our reactions”.
Representatives for Elle Germany are yet to respond to the backlash.

To the layperson fuel injectors are far from sexy, or likely even interesting for that matter. To those in the automotive industry, however, fuel injectors are as glamorous as a car part gets. With that said, not everyone is a genius and automatically knows everything there is to know about the fuel injector. For such reason, here are five things everyone in the auto industry should know about fuel injectors.
- What Is It? A fuel injector is a valve that is controlled electronically while being operated by pressure coming from fuel that is being pumped by the fuel pump. More specifically, the fuel injector essentially takes the liquid gasoline that is being supplied by the fuel pump and subsequently turns it into a mist that is then sprayed. In other words, the fuel injector transforms and then transfers the liquid gas in a spray form that the engine can run off and burn effectively.
- What Is Its Purpose? The primary purpose, or function, of a fuel injector, is to transfer an altered form of liquid fuel to the engine so that it can use it as gas and run properly. This is a much more complicated process than the previous sentence alludes, but to be more concise, the fuel injector, in essence, has the job of supplying the fuel to the engine through its electronically powered valve.
- Where Is It Located? The fuel injector is located on the intake manifold; it is strategically mounted there so it can adequately inject fuel into the intake valves ultimately leading to the engine. On the reverse end is a fuel supply rail, which bridges the gap between the fuel injector and the fuel being pumped in from the fuel tank.
- How To Tell If It Is Faulty? There are a number of ways to tell if a fuel injector is malfunctioning. Perhaps most notably is when the engine is not getting an adequate amount of fuel, or conversely too little fuel to operate correctly. This usually leads to a loss of power in the engine, or at the very least a display of the ‘check engine light.’ While this infamous light can mean a number of things have gone wrong, the fuel injector is definitely a possibility.
- What Causes It To Malfunction? Not maintaining a clean fuel filter can damage the fuel injector as it becomes clogged with dirt particles. For this reason, it is crucial that the fuel filter is properly maintained and checked regularly. In addition, using a low-grade gasoline can also adversely damage the fuel injector over time. This happens as deposits from the low-quality fuel interrupt the fuel injector’s trajectory as it sprays the fuel.
