The media obviously doesn’t use the F word. After spending weeks screaming that any opposition to majority rule is a racist relic of Jim Crow (I thought that the majority repressing the minority was Jim Crow), Democrats relied on that F word to stop sanctions on Russia’s pipeline.
Or as Politico delicately put it, “Dems torpedo Cruz’s bid to sanction Russian pipeline”.
Senate Democrats on Thursday blocked a GOP-led effort to impose sanctions on a Russian natural-gas pipeline amid deteriorating talks with Moscow over its military buildup along Ukraine’s eastern border.
The nearly party-line vote, 55-44, came after an aggressive effort by the Biden administration to limit Democratic defections on the legislation, which the White House viewed as a bid to undercut its strategy to deter a Russian invasion. In the end, six Democrats — many of them vulnerable to GOP challengers in November — and all Republicans but one backed the legislation, falling short of the requisite 60 votes.
Biden’s strategy to “deter a Russian invasion” involves pressuring Ukraine to make more territorial concessions to Russia. He did say he wanted to be FDR.
If Republicans were doing this, the media would be screaming, “RUSSIA COLLUSION” and Rachel Maddow would have a 24 hour session on the subject with invited experts like a guy who lives in a cardboard box on the subway and Keith Olbermann.
Also it might be tangentially relevant that Senate Majority Leader Schumer is getting money from pro-pipeline lobbyists.
Schumer, along with a number of other top Democrats, is a beneficiary of campaign contributions from top Democrat fundraiser Vincent Roberti whose lobbying firm was paid over $8.5 million by Nord Stream 2 which is owned by Putin’s state-run Gazprom energy monopoly.
Roberti, a former Dem politician, has maxed out his donations to Schumer and to Rep. Eric Swalwell, who may have been cheating on Fang Fang with Vladimir, and threw in a generous $171,000 to the DCCC, as part of the over $545,000 donated to the Democrat political machine.
It’s nice of the media not to mention this while continuing to repeat its disinformation about Republican Russian collusion.
Anyway the filibuster is a racist relic of Jim Crow when it helps Republicans, but it’s a principled effort by Democrats to stave off a Russian invasion and get paid by Russian lobbyists at the same time when they use it.
Good work, comrades.
Maybe the Democrats should modify voting rules to keep the filibuster for when they need it so that any legislation they disapprove, but any legislation they approve of, like rigging federal elections to make themselves a permanent majority party.

RUNT TIME- 92 MINS
WRITERS- DAVID CRONENBERG
STARRING- OLIVER REED, SAMANTHA EGGAR AND ART HINDLE
DIRECTOR- DAVID CRONENBERG
Synopsis taken from IMDb
A mans wife is under the care of an eccentric and unconventional psychologist who uses innovative theatrical techniques to breach the psychological blocks in his patients. When their daughter comes back from a visit with her mother and is covered with bruises and welts, the father attempts to bar his wife from seeing the daughter but faces resistance from the secretive psychologist. Meanwhile, the wife's mother and father are attacked by strangely deformed children, and the man begins to suspect a connection with the psychologists methods.
Knowing this film wasn't just any film but a David Cronenberg film really got my blood pumping. For those of you who are familiar with Mr. Cronenberg you know that this guy directs the hell out of some movies. He is a genius of horror. His horror is different than typical horror, he goes crazy with his films. I always liked to think of his films as acid trips on film. His ideas are totally off the wall but brilliant, and just demented enough to work.
I first became a fan of David Cronenberg as a child, I was probably around ten years old when I first saw his amazing remake of The Fly (1986) and it blew me away. It scared me but it enthralled me. I became obsessed and it still remains my 2ND favorite Sci-Fi movie ever, my first being Aliens (1986).
So I had a rough idea of what I was getting myself into with The Brood, and I was more than ready to experience yet another Cronenberg masterpiece. And I wasn't let down.
From the beginning of the film I got the vibe it was giving off and could tell right away that this was going to be a layered story and probably have some twists to it. The music set the mood well kept me focused and trying to understand what was going on and who was committing the murders. When all of the main people who could be considered suspects aren't the ones at fault, I started to sense Cronenberg working his mindscrew tactics to build up what would ultimately be a gory and disturbing truth.
To sum it up Nola Carveth (Samantha Eggar) has been focusing her anger and emotion into physical beings of deformed children who seek her revenge on anyone who's caused her any pain, including stemming back to her childhood. When these creepy children show up the crap hits the fan.
After one of the children dies and the lead characters come to inspect the specimen they find that it has no bellybutton and thus it is not human, nor naturally born. We also discover that they have a sack on their backs in between their shoulder blades that holds their life fluid. When the sack dries out the children die.
This leads to an unforgettable finale where Nola is confronted by her husband Frank (Art Hindle). Upon 'airing their dirty laundry' the bloody truth comes out showing us what real horrors have been going on behind the scenes the whole time. It's just sick and twisted enough to accomplish a profound conclusion.
The best part and the hardest part are the same scene. We watch Nola reveal the sack hanging from her stomach that is her means to give birth to her deformed and manifested children. Very serious scene that takes you aback.
However in the head of conflict, to reveal how sick and disturbed she is she bites into the sack so she can dig the infant out...and she then proceeds to lick it clean like a cat. True Cronenberg for you, you never leave unsatisfied and you he never ceases to go where you wouldn't expect.
So without giving too much away for those of you who have yet to see this, I'll cut this short. But I suggest you give this movie a shot, you have nothing to lose. Sit back and let yourself be shocked.
This is one of Cronenbergs best films and I think I even liked it more than Scanners. I liked Scanners alot. The Fly remains supreme however, I believe that to be David Cronenberg's true mark of greatness.
THIS FILM GETS 3 REAPERS OUT OF 4

Putnam delegates vary in legislative reimbursement expenses
CHARLESTON, W.Va. - The four state legislators who live in Putnam County collected widely varying amounts of expense money during the recent 60-day regular session.
Democrat Brady Paxton, a longtime member of the House of Delegates, collected more than $8,000.
The other three Putnam lawmakers, all Republicans, claimed far less.
Sen. Mike Hall was next at $3,729, followed by Delegate Troy Andes at $2,365. Newly elected Sen. Chris Walters sought no expense reimbursement.
Members of the state Legislature receive annual salaries of $20,000 each. In addition they may seek reimbursement for expenses within certain guidelines.
Unless they choose to commute, legislators can receive $131 per day to cover lodging, meals and other expenses during the 60-day regular session. They also can collect mileage payments for one round trip home each week, at 47 cents per mile.
Lawmakers who commute can claim up to $55 a day for expenses plus mileage, but their payments cannot exceed $131 a day.
None of the 11 House of Delegates members or three state senators who live in Kanawha County claimed expenses during the session.
Paxton apparently stayed in Charleston rather than commute from his home in Liberty about 30 miles from the Capitol Complex. He collected $357 in mileage plus $7,860, the maximum allowed, for other expenses during the 60-day session.
Andes, who lives in Hurricane about 28 miles from the Capitol, collected $2,365 for expenses but did not claim mileage costs.
On the Senate side, Hall commuted from his Winfield home and collected $1,034 in mileage reimbursements and $2,695 for other expenses throughout the regular and special sessions.
Deputy Senate Clerk Lee Cassis said Hall also attended a conference in Washington, D.C., during the session. He received $1,601 to cover expenses for the four-day trip.
Walters, who lives in Poca, represents a newly configured district that includes parts of both Kanawha and Putnam counties.
While complete payment information for the House was not available on Wednesday, the Senate Clerk's Office provided the Daily Mail with a complete list of member expenses.
In all, the state spent $275,340 on senators' expenses for the regular and special sessions.
Sen. John Unger, D-Berkeley, collected the most, at $11,900. Sen. Craig Blair, R-Berkeley, received the second-highest sum at $11,320.
Per diem payments made up most of that money - Unger collected $9,039 while Blair collected $9,170 - but those two senators' mileage costs also were among the highest in the Senate.
Unger was reimbursed $2,867 for his travels during the sessions. Blair received $2,150 in mileage. Both men claim Martinsburg as their hometown, a 600-mile round-trip drive from Charleston.

It seems that the virus hits humanity with a very profound message. Less human activities contribute to less pollution and more freedom for animals to roam their habitat. We might have heard the news of nature healing all around the world. And it’s happening to our river, right here in Penang. Clearly, humans are a lot more of a hazardous virus than COVID-19.
Not One Of The Dirtiest Rivers In Malaysia Any More
Two drone pictures are taken by The Star on March 8 and April 26 of Sungai Pinang. The 3.5km river which flowed in the heart of Georgetown had a completely different transformation after 7 weeks of MCO. A change that excites many. Witnessing nature reclaiming the once pitch black and polluted river into jade green river filled with algae definitely worth celebrating.
Both of the photographs were shot at low tide to compare them fairly without seawater pushing into the river on a rising tide. According to a researcher, Prof Dr. Chan Ngai Weng, the pollution caused by human activity. “It is all kinds of oil from workshops and factories that emulsified and mixed with organic matter from the wastewater of markets, hawkers, and so on.”
Wastes Need To Be Treated Before Being Released Into The River
The dumping stopped thanks to MCO. Now everyone can see the result of how the river looks like when it cleans itself. “It is we humans who overload the rivers.” Prof Chan continued “We must either relocate polluting sources elsewhere or ensure they treat their waste before discharging them into the environment, ”
The Sungai Pinang runs through densely populated urban centers on the island. Thus the heavy pollution. A marine biologist, Prof Datuk Dr. Aileen Tan, also rejoiced upon the news. saying that it can be further improved with a better sewage system or by create a new norm after MCO.
A Lesson To Learn From The Pandemic
“I am sure rivers all over the country are becoming cleaner by themselves now. We should treasure this phenomenon and take it as a chance for us to change for the better after the MCO, ” Prof Tan said. With that being said, hopefully, Penangites are taking notes on what can be made better after this pandemic. Let’s appreciate nature and give it the treatment it deserves.

How to Get Rid of Brain Fog
Are you plagued by brain fog? You’re not the only one suffering from brain fog. You can make brain fog better. You just have to make a few adjustments. Here are some tips:
Brain fog can lead to brain fog, which could affect your ability think clearly. People of all ages, from every walk of life, suffer from stress. 70% of Americans experience some type of stress every year. The main culprits for this are money and work. The COVID-19 epidemic and increased social pressure have only made our society more stressed.
This problem can be solved by getting more sleep. Sleep helps your brain function properly, but not enough sleep can cause brain fog. Aim for 7 to 9 hours sleep each night. Avoid drinking caffeine or alcohol a few hours prior to bedtime. You should keep all electronic devices out of your bedroom. Get to bed at the same hour every night. If you continue to struggle with brain fog, consult your doctor.
Another common cause of brain fog is anxiety. Anxiety interferes with our ability to think clearly. A thought clouding our ability to concentrate can be caused by anxiety, frustration and hopelessness. Brain fog can also be caused by stress and thyroid issues. These conditions produce high levels of estrogen, which cloud our thinking. Stress can also lead to problems sleeping and with hormone balance. People who undergo COVID also have increased risk of brain fog.
Sleep deprivation has been linked to cognitive disorders like chronic fatigue syndrome and brain fog. Although it doesn’t necessarily affect memory, chronic fatigue can lead to brain fog and other problems. This issue of the Harvard Health Letter offers free advice on healthy lifestyle habits, new developments in preventative medicine, and tips on reducing high blood pressure and cholesterol. You’ll also find out the most recent research regarding stress and how it affects your health.
Depression is a leading cause of brain fog, and treatment for depression usually involves prescribed medication and various therapy techniques. Sleeping enough at night is a key part of treatment for depression. Sleep deprivation can cause your brain to stop repairing itself, and this has negative effects on brain function. This can have a negative impact on your overall health and well-being. Lack of sleep causes brain fog, so if you’re experiencing depression, seek help immediately.
If you want to improve cognitive flexibility and sharpness, you must make sure to get plenty of rest. The brain needs specific nutrients to function optimally. The nutrients are vitamins, amino acids and essential fatty acid. Complex carbohydrates also count. Your brain can perform better if you eat a diet high in vegetables and healthy fats. If you’re still experiencing brain fog after implementing these lifestyle changes, consult your doctor for treatment options.
Attention is not paid
If you have noticed that your attention is dimmer than usual, you may be experiencing the symptoms of lack of concentration and attention due to brain fog. It can be difficult to focus on work and completing your daily tasks, especially if you’re experiencing this problem at the workplace. While there is no immediate cure for lack of attention, you can improve your focus and cognition by doing a few simple things. Listed below are some tips to improve your focus and concentration.
A medical condition called COVID is a possible cause of brain fog. This can also be due to inflammation, or other reasons. If you think that your brain isn’t functioning at its optimum level, consult a medical professional to rule out any other underlying causes. Brain fog is common among many different types of people, and can interfere with the ability to complete daily tasks. Your doctor may perform tests to check for inflammation markers and vitamin deficiencies. They may also ask you questions about your stress levels and mental state.
Brain fog can also be caused by autoimmune diseases, brain injury, or certain medications. These conditions can cause a lack of attention. A doctor will help you determine the best treatment. In addition to preventing the condition, you can treat brain fog with lifestyle interventions. Your doctor can help you determine if your medication is affecting your ability to focus.
Vitamin B12 deficiency
If you’re not getting enough vitamin B12 in your diet, you may experience symptoms like brain fog, fatigue, tingling in the hands and feet, and lightheadedness. It is possible to feel depressed or unable to concentrate, as well as feeling like you don’t know yourself. You may also notice that you get mouth sores, which can indicate anaemia or other emergencies.
Pernicious anemia is a condition where you aren’t getting enough vitamin B12. Pernicious anemia occurs when the intestines don’t absorb enough B12 from food, resulting in low red blood cells and brain damage. To treat this condition, doctors often prescribe mega-doses of oral B12 or give you regular injections. If you suspect that you might be deficient, talk to your doctor. The U.S. labs report levels of “normal” as being 450 pg/mL.
Vitamin B12 deficiency can lead to a range of symptoms including pale skin and mouth sores. A rapid heartbeat and beefy tongue could also be symptoms. These symptoms are not common for all B12 deficient people. These symptoms tend to develop slowly and not always at once. To determine how severe the problem is, a doctor may run an examination.
You should ensure that your daily intake of vitamin B12 is sufficient for vegetarians. It’s essential for maintaining healthy nerves and brain cells. Vitamin B12 is an essential nutrient that the body cannot produce without. It’s therefore important to consume a wide variety of animal products that include this vital nutrient. Vitamin B12 can help improve your mood.
Medical oncologists have discovered the link between brain fog and cancer. “Chemo brain,” she coined the term, is one result of this condition. Many patients with breast cancer complained about memory and concentration issues. They believed their treatments caused the problem. In fact, this is not always the case. These are the possible treatments for brain fog caused by cancer. You can skip to the bottom of this article for more information about brain fog treatments.
Many cancer treatments cause brain fog. You might experience problems with memory or thinking even after your treatment is over. Cognitive rehab is available for those who are concerned about how this affects their daily lives. After all, the doctor can determine the underlying cause of your brain fog and prescribe the appropriate treatment. Talking to your doctor is the best way to start.
Cognitive problems can be caused by several cancer treatments, such as immunotherapy and chemotherapy. Some suffer mild cognitive difficulties after receiving chemotherapy while others have more serious problems. However, the condition may also be caused by the cancer’s treatment, or by other factors such as inadequate nutrition, poor sleep, anxiety and depression. The symptoms of brain fog may also become more pronounced over time. There are a number of available treatments to help patients cope with the symptoms of cancer.
One of the causes of brain fog is multi-tasking. A Stanford University study found that multitasking can cause brain fog. People who are constantly on the go often struggle to organize their thoughts and filter out unnecessary information. They also have trouble switching tasks. These symptoms suggest that multi-tasking can reduce your efficiency and performance. Although it’s unclear why you feel this way about multitasking, it could have serious consequences for your mental or physical health.
Multi-tasking is a way to avoid brain fog. Multitasking can lead to a clutter mind, and lower levels of wellbeing. Studies have shown that people who frequently multitask are more likely to experience cognitive impairment than those who don’t. Earlier, researchers thought that cognitive impairment from multi-tasking was temporary. However, the new study suggests that multi-tasking affects the same parts of the brain as people who focus better.
Multitasking is not only convenient, but it can also be detrimental to your brain. This can be fixed by focusing on one task at the time and stopping multitasking. If you’re a multi-tasker, you should turn off your phone notifications and instead focus on a task that you’re working on. If you’re unable to focus, consider using a time chunking method.

“Down” was the most straightforward installment in Directions. It’s a regular vertical scroller dealing with artistic frustration.
I think the real interest lies in the metapanel, an open composition of photo collage that bleeds into the background. I enjoy the palette, the sickly mustard which rolls into warm oranges, and balances out the complimentary blue in the center of the piece.
There are also 2 bits of interactivity, each one centered on the title word. One of the goals was to make a piece that works with or without the added bits of text that you find by hunting and clicking.

The new smart bombs that select targets themselves
The U.S. Air Force is developing a new type of bomb with built-in intelligence (it is not Artificial Intelligence) so that during the flight towards the target assigned to it, it will be able to detect other types of targets that are more relevant and make the decision to modify its trajectory to attack the newly detected target.
The Project is called Golden Horde and they have already done some tests on it.
The bombs carry a series of sensors and control electronics for the steering fins to direct their flight towards the target. If any of its sensors detect other targets that its control system considers to be more relevant, this system can decide autonomously to modify its flight and attack the new detected target.
And what is also very important is that this information can be transmitted to other bombs that fly nearby, so that if they also decide the same thing, they also change direction, making sure among all that they destroy the most important target just detected.
This is a fundamental strategic change
Seventy years ago during the Second World War bombing was carried out in a massive way, the bombs fell by their weight and places were devastated by the abundance of bombs that fell on the ground.
For a long time now, bombs have been guided (by laser, radar, etc …) and hit exactly the desired target with almost surgical precision. Now with a few bombs you get what you used to get with tons of them.
This that I comment is one more step in sophistication. These new bombs carry their computer that while flying towards the assigned target, analyzes with its own sensors if there are other more relevant targets, and if there are, it changes direction to try to destroy them.
Today the sensors have been greatly developed and the bombs themselves (which carry various types of them) are capable of more accurately detecting “things” that the plane did not see a few seconds before dropping the bomb.
As I indicated before, they do not use Artificial Intelligence, but rather a well-known routine of computers: “if, then”.
For example, if a Golden Horde bomb is aimed at destroying a cannon battery and during its flight its sensors detect a missile battery, it reorients its direction and destroys the missile launcher.
And the fact that multiple bombs can communicate with each other and strike a relevant target together helps ensure that the target is destroyed.
As I have mentioned so many times, technology does not stop evolving and every day it surprises us with something new.

Recently, my life has borne an unsettling resemblance to a bad country song: my business has gone bust, my man is gone, my bank – and every other creditor – is knocking on the door, and my cat is sick. My tooth aches and menopause has set in with an undeniable determination. I’m afraid to use the old standby “well, at least I’ve got my health”, for fear the gods will hear and remember they left something behind. If it weren’t for my friends, I’d be down so deep the rescue workers would call it a sinkhole and tell the reporters there ain’t no use trying to get me out. Except that all the rescue workers are so busy trying to figure out which box to squeeze me into that they’ve just given up and told me to get used to being in the hole for a year or so.
Yep. If someone would just help me write the melody, we could both get rich.
Today, to add insult to injury, I woke up at the crack of dawn, thinking about it all. I lay there in a half-daze, floating in and out of consciousness, running it all through my head, like the bad song it sounds like. And suddenly, in one of those rare moments of insight, when the mists parted and the Hyoka stopped poking at me for a moment, I figured out why it all feels so bad.
It’s not that I haven’t been out of work and in debt before. It’s not that my heart hasn’t been broken by a lover before. It’s not even that so much gawd-awful crap is falling on my head at once, because even that’s happened before (except the part about the menopause, of course). It’s that, this time, for the first time in maybe 30 years… I was flying without a net when I fell.
Of course, I’ve played it too close to the wire before. More than we’re told we ought to, as responsible adults. No, this time the net I was missing was the emotional one. For the first time in about 30 years, my heart was all in. Wide open. With no protective layers wrapping it up nice and safe, just in case. And it hurt when I hit the ground.
I really wanted this. Yes, I’ve wanted relationships before – had more than my fair share, some would say. I’ve wanted ones I couldn’t have, and sometimes that hurt like hell. But for the last 30 years, when it came to matters of the heart, I’ve played with one card held back. Sometimes because it had become a habit, but mostly because it seemed the smart thing to do. The danger signs were clear, so I’d walk a little carefully (though it might not look like it from the outside looking in): one of the loves of my life was happy enough to have me, so long as it never went further than ‘friends with benefits’. Another wouldn’t leave his wife (I know, I know). And even my eventual husband put out clear warning signs from the earliest days of our relationship. In many ways, large and small, they all made it clear that I should keep my netting in place. So, even if I tried to ignore the signs, as I did with my marriage, I was, in some dark, safe part of my heart, ready. Just in case. In case I was setting myself up for a fall.
But not this time. With this affair – if you can call 6 years an affair – I threw away the nets. Why? It’s simple, really: because he asked me too. That’s all it took, all it ever would’ve taken. Isn’t it what so many of us want to be asked, in the deepest part of our trying-to-be-cynical hearts? To have someone say, come fly with me? When he asked me to take down the barriers, I tore them down happily. I redrew my boundaries and went all in.
And then found out he couldn’t do the same. Or rather: he didn’t believe he could do the same. Because that’s the real point, isn’t it? That you believe you can fly?
When it all fell apart, we tried to be friends. I’m usually good at that. In fact, I’m friends with ex-lovers I should’ve kicked in the balls upon leaving. But what’s the use? I always try to work from a policy of: if a person is good enough to love, why hate him now, just because we can’t keep loving each other? Or because he cheated (and deserves to be kicked in the balls)? It seemed to make sense at the time. So today, in the aforementioned moment of insight, I realized that the reason it’s all felt so horrid for the last weeks – or has it been months already? – is that I have been hating him a little bit. And I didn’t know why. Why has this been so different? Why is this fall tumbling over into every other aspect of my life? Why have I felt so broken?
And then I realized that it was because of having been all in with this thing that was us, that I’ve felt so…well… yucky…this time. All in meant having him reach for me in his sleep, pulling me into spooning position. All in meant knowing I’d be spooning him for the rest of my life, while my belly grew soft and his head grew bald. Being all in meant shaping my career choices to make that possible. Risking it all meant telling him all the ugly secrets I’ve never told anyone else, except one, and getting ready to tell him that one too. Flying without a net meant more than not being able to imagine my life without him. It meant him not being able to imagine his life without me, either. Until the unimaginable happened, and we started living our lives apart.
Okay, I thought, as I lay there in the too-bright room trying to convince myself it was dark enough to go back to sleep. Okay, so what am I going to do with this epiphany?
And then, I realized that – for me, at any rate – there was only one option. There can be no going back, no effort to find my net again. No anger, anymore, that we tried to fly without it. Because oh, what fun it was! There was that stretch of time we shared, when we were at the top of the arc, and we could almost see forever. When I remembered what it was like to love with abandon, to risk it all, to be all in, all the time. How amazing to feel that soaring, flying feeling again after telling myself, for far too long, that being an adult meant staying on the ground – in life, in love, in everything. The odd thing is that the moment this all came together in my head (and my heart), the heartbreak softened, I stopped hating him (as if I ever actually could), and I felt some of our love again. Like a gift. Or maybe that’s not so odd after all, is it?
I have no desire to go back now, no desire to deny the joy of flying. The amazement of taking that leap. Try it yourself: try remembering how it felt when you’ve been completely, fearlessly, all in. Consider taking that leap, with whatever – or whoever – makes you soar. Just be sure that, if you have a co-pilot, they believe in flying too.
As for me, I’m just going to have to keep trying, and keep falling, until I learn to fly again. To live and love the way I used to do, the way I have to, and the way we almost did.
And I’m going to do it without a net.

Do you think our politicians have grown sillier than they seemed before? Consider the recent controversies: a chief minister who dozes off when an important debate on sexual offences is going on, a politician who attempts to stuff a roti into the mouth of a person who is observing a fast, a politician who thinks Sania Mirza is a Pakistani, or a health minister who thinks sex education is not good for our children. In each of these cases, the media has gone apoplectic and has given blow by blow accounts. One explanation is that the silly season is upon us. But that doesn’t explain it satisfactorily. We expect our politicians to fix our problems, but what we see is the opposite.
We tend to doze off during lengthy exposition of arcane subjects and that is understandable, but Siddaramaiah sleeping like some Kumbhakarna in the legislative assembly during discussion on a subject his whole state is angry about is a good media opportunity to show just how engaged he remains as the state’s number one politician. This reporter has seen him dozing off even in the august company of no less a person than Rahul Gandhi—but alert readers may quickly point out that even Rahul Gandhi was spotted snoozing during a parliamentary debate on price rise, his eyes closed, head tilted to the right. The Congress clarified he had not been sleeping but listening to the debate with his eyes closed, and to be fair to Rahul no report even suggested that he had contributed to the debate by letting off a couple of gentle snores which is more than what some people have come to expect from him during debates. So officially, the jury is still out on whether the Congress was sleeping while prices were rising. More pertinently, what came as salt being rubbed on the wound was Siddaramaiah’s retort to the media: “Except that (rape), don’t you have any other issues? Is this the only news you have?”
It is a good question. Not a day goes by without the media reporting some shocking case of rape. Except for the business pages and possibly the sports pages, we come across rape stories in most other pages, tucked away in some corner or prominently displayed. On most days, there are more than one story. In Bangalore, there had been an incident of a young girl being raped and the police trying to lessen the charge; there was an incident of a little girl of six who was abused brutally, apparently by a skating instructor. Some months ago, we read the story of a policeman of the rank of ADGP who took unsolicited pictures on his mobile phone of women in a restaurant. In Chennai, there was news of a father raping his daughter, abetted by his son. What is our world coming to?
Is it more unsafe than it was a couple of decades ago? Or is it just that the media is reporting more of it than before? I remember being shocked once to read this statistic: there is a rape every nine minutes in the US. This was many years ago. But for Siddaramaiah at least things are looking up. This is what we reported a couple of days ago: “On Thursday, Siddaramaiah surprised everyone by being alert for a full four hours during the Council session. He attributed his alertness to yoga and pranayama sessions in the morning.” Good news for Karnataka, I guess.

About MeI took a year off to work on getting my confidence back, but now I'm ready to get back into things. I still think of this as just a hobby, but that doesn't mean I don't take shoots seriously; I hate getting bad shots just as much as the photographer.
I'm open to pretty much any kind of shoot, other than nude, but I would do an implied nude shoot. Though I haven't had the chance to do a shoot like this, I'd love to do one something unusual that involved odd scenery or costumes. I also love to do sexy shoots, like pinups or boudoir.
My schedule is pretty hectic right now with grad school and work, so I may be a little slow getting back to you, but please be patient. After the first week of December I will have a lot more time to devote to this.
Since this is just a hobby for me, I'm looking mostly for trades. I don't plan on paying someone or getting paid, I just enjoy doing it.

Nanocrystalline cores for high frequency large power Transformers
Nano crystalline material is one kind of amorphous material. Nanocrystalline cores for high frequency and high power transformers have high saturation flux density, high permeability, low core loss, low saturation magnetostriction and good temperature stability. Widely used as main transformer cores for uni-polar, push-pull or bi-polar type high frequency and high power switched mode power supply.
High saturation flux density and low core loss are the primary demand of a transformer, and nanocrystalline core has the both properties. Transformers with nanocrystalline cores have features of small size, high efficiency, low loss, low temperature rise and excellent temperature stability.
Though we use 2nd generation nanocrystalline materials to make cores for nano crystalline transformer, we still proide low price nanocrystalline core, which used 1st generation ribbon, they still have very good performance.
Core dimensions and Power capacity:
>> Inverter welding machines
>> Electrolytic plating power supplies
>> High Power Laser power supplies
>> Communication, high-speed railway power supplies
>> High frequency heating systems
>> High frequency and high power switched mode power supply
>> High saturation flux density - you can reduce volume of transformers vs tranditional Ferrite
>> High permeability - improve efficiency,lower exciting power and reduce copper loss
>> Low coercivity and Low core loss - low temperature rise
>> Excellent thermal stability - working temperature of -40 - 130℃
|Properties||Nanophous cores||Ferrite cores|
|Saturation Flux density(T)||1.25||0.5|
|Remanence (T) (20KHz)||<0.2||0.2|
|Core loss (20KHz/0.2T) (W/Kg) ||<4||7.5|
|Core loss (20KHz/0.5T) (W/Kg)||<40||can not use|
|Core loss (50KHz/0.3T) (W/Kg)||<50||can not use|

Rolled down my driver window at the drive-thru, and now it won’t roll back up again. Last week or so I’ve noticed when I roll it down there’s an odd little noise at the end, hard to describe. But now nothing happens, and of course the weather is getting bad, to say nothing of the safety/security angle. Any ideas what I should do?
Because you said you started hearing an odd little noise from the window may indicate that there’s a problem with the window regulator/motor.
If you’re not comfortable with removing the inner door panel, removing the window, and working inside the door, take the car to an independent mechanic and they can get the window working again.
Grab the window and see if you can help the motor get the window up. Otherwise you’ll have to take the door panel off to see what’s going on.
See this recent posting: http://community.cartalk.com/posts/list/2156040.page
Well, I removed the door panel on the passenger side when I replaced the rear-view mirror, so I’ve got the tool and everything, just trying to figure out what i need to concentrate on. Also, forgot to mention that the other windows are working just fine, FWIW. If I can just get the window back up once that will do the trick, honestly. Is there any chance it might just be the switch? What’s a good way to figure out if it’s the regulator vs the motor?
Could be switch. Does the motor make any noise whatsoever? If you get it up with assistance, perhaps the motor is dying but not quite dead.
Did you check the fuse for this power window?
Not yet. Was working all day. But when I got out of work tonight, I found it would roll up again. So now I’ve got it back up at least, but I’m afraid to futz with it. Friend of mien says since it worked again it’s probably the regulator or a bad connection. That sound right?
Not sure how you ruled out a worn out motor that’s about to die. The regulator and motor come as one unit for $49.99 at Rockauto.com http://www.rockauto.com/catalog/x,carcode,1432087,parttype,10217
This might be a good project to tackle in the near future. Replacing this at the dealer would be hundreds of dollars.
It sounds like the motor is dying but not quite dead yet.


A HPS grow light can simulate sunlight very well. An HPS grow light uses sodium to produce light and it runs through a ballast. To have a more detailed comparison of an HPS grow light and some other grow lighting bulbs, look at the details below:
Grow Light Efficiency:
Let us compare a 400 watt HPS grow light with a 400 watt metal halide bulb and a 400 watt fluorescent bulb. The fluorescent bulb emits 3000 lumens at total efficiency. The metal halide bulb emits 36000 lumens at total efficiency. The HPS grow light emits an impressive 45000 lumens at total efficiency. An HPS grow light produces more light output per watt than most other grow lights.
Lifespan Of An HPS Grow Light:
An HPS grow light can last from a year to two years, approximately 18,000 hours. A metal halide bulb has a shorter lifespan of about 10,000 hours, while LED can last up to 50,000 hours. Of course with LED’s greater hours of service comes a very expensive price tag. An HPS grow light is recommended for those who have a medium budget for indoor plant lighting.
Color Spectrum Emitted:
An HPS grow light emits an orange to red glow, but is deficient in the blue spectrum. Even so, an HPS grow light is recommended for use especially during plant reproduction and flowering or root development. A fluorescent lamp emits light in the blue spectrum. It could be a good compliment for an HPS grow light to compensate for the HPS grow light’s deficiency.
Grow Light Kits Costs:
LED is so far the most expensive grow lighting system, but just because it is does not mean it is the best lighting kit available. The whole setup of your indoor growing plants is a great factor to any kind of light’s optimal performance. Cheap lighting can also produce good results as long as they are placed efficiently. A cheaper but still quality system, for example, is a 400 watt HPS grow light kit complete with a reflector, cables, screw fittings, the HPS grow light bulb and electronic ballast. This kind of kit could cost you only $150, more or less. Compare this with a 400 watt LED lighting kit that costs $400, now that is a huge difference. Warranty and free shipping might also be included when you order from some online stores and grow light brand retailers.

Fortunately, the two men are fine. They were taken to the nearest hospital in Makati for treatment. The police announced the identity of the cleaners. They are Roberto Rendon and Victoriano Nietes. The accident happened yesterday at 10:15 am while Rendon and Nietes were cleaning the windows of the 46- floor RCBC Plaza. They were washing the 40th floor when strong winds hit the gondola they were in.
The reflective glass of the building didn’t break, which prevented some more serious injuries. The cleaners were also lucky that the gondola didn’t break and didn’t fall down.
Last year ten workers were killed after such a gondola fell from the 28th floor because of overloading.


Bearing grinder equipment is a common electromechanical integration equipment at present. The technical content of the machine tool equipment is high. If there is an obstacle problem, you need to contact the after-sales personnel of the manufacturer in time to repair it. Although the workshop staff also have a certain understanding of the structure of the grinder equipment, when there is a problem with the equipment, because they do not know much about the composition concept of the equipment and the specific circuit layout, Therefore, in order to repair the grinder equipment as soon as possible, it is necessary to contact professional maintenance personnel in time. At the following time, Xiao Bian will introduce what should be paid attention to when maintaining grinder equipment? 1、 Since the grinding machine equipment is precision equipment, it needs an experienced master to repair it. The production equipment used in many workshops now is highly precise equipment, and the bearing grinding machine for producing bearing parts is also precision equipment. When the grinding machine is found to have problems, the person in charge of the workshop needs to report to the superior in time, and strive to contact an experienced master to repair it at the first time after finding problems. 2、 Carry out an all-round inspection on the grinder equipment to ensure that the obstacles are solved in a targeted way. There are fewer problems with some bearing grinder equipment. Therefore, many employees did not pay attention to the problems when they first found them. They did not think of maintaining the equipment until the problems became serious. However, the equipment maintenance is more difficult and the maintenance costs are more. If there are few obstacles to the equipment, it is also necessary to conduct an all-round inspection of the equipment to ensure that the obstacles to the equipment can be finally resolved. 3、 The grinder equipment shall be inspected regularly and repaired in a timely manner after problems are found. In order to avoid obstacles in the use of the bearing grinder equipment, the manufacturer shall regularly inspect the grinder equipment for multiple items. If problems are found in the equipment, it is also necessary to find ways to repair it in a timely manner.

Land Rover Discovery Sport PHEV interior, dashboard & comfort
The Discovery Sport P300e hybrid boasts a luxurious and practical interior, while Land Rover's latest infotainment system is much improved
Land Rover has a pretty good track record when it comes to producing stylish and luxurious interiors and the latest Discovery Sport – P300e hybrid or otherwise – doesn't let the side down in this respect. The brand's latest 'Pivi Pro' infotainment system is a particular highlight and means Land Rover no longer lags behind the likes of Audi, BMW and Mercedes when it comes to in-car technology.
Land Rover Discovery Sport PHEV dashboard
The latest Discovery Sport doesn't deviate much from Land Rover's established simple and solid interior design formula, but it does now incorporate some of the latest in-car technology: there's a large customisable digital display behind the steering wheel, as well as a large landscape-orientated screen for the Pivi Pro infotainment in the middle of the dashboard.
Unlike some Range Rover models, the Discovery Sport doesn't have a second, lower-down touchscreen for operating the climate control; instead, there are trusty physical knobs and buttons for adjusting temperature and fan speed, which is no bad thing in our opinion.
Equipment, options & accessories
The days of plug-in hybrid cars being standalone variants are pretty much gone; like most brands, Land Rover is offering its petrol-electric drivetrain across all trim levels. The one caveat to this with the Discovery Sport is that it's only available in combination with the 'R-Dynamic' sporty styling pack, which is normally an optional add-on to any of the standard S, SE and HSE trim levels. That bumps up the price of the hybrid ever so slightly, but not in a way that'll make a significant difference to the P300e's primarily company-car target market.
Standard kit on the entry-level R-Dynamic S trim is generous: you get 12-way adjustable heated front seats, heated power-folding mirrors, leather seats, a leather steering wheel, 18-inch alloys, LED headlights, Land Rover's 'Terrain Response' off-road system, the 10-inch Pivi Pro infotainment screen, cruise control and safety technology including lane-keeping assistance, a 3D surround-view camera, parking sensors traffic-sign recognition and an adaptive speed limiter.
Moving up to SE ups the wheel size to 19 inches and adds automatic high-beams, a powered tailgate, a panoramic roof and additional safety kit (blind spot assistance and rear cross-traffic alerts), while HSE builds on this further with 20-inch alloys, a ClearSight camera-based rear-view mirror, keyless entry, Windsor leather, 14-way adjustment for the front seats, a premium Meridian sound system and adaptive cruise control.
Infotainment, apps & sat nav
During 2020, Land Rover rolled out an all-new in-car infotainment system – called Pivi Pro – across all its models, starting with the Defender and then the Discovery Sport. The old system lagged behind those of German rivals badly, so this is a welcome upgrade, with much-improved responsiveness and full smartphone integration for both Apple and Android users.
In This Review
- 1VerdictLand Rover's Discovery Sport P300e plug-in is an impressive petrol-electric SUV, but lacks the seven-seat practicality of the non-hybrid
- 2Range, MPG, CO2 & chargingThe Discovery Sport P300e's emissions, economy and electric range are all good, and it's one of the few plug-in hybrids that can rapid charge
- 3Running costs & insuranceLow company-car tax and the ability to use very little fuel in day-to-day motoring count in the Discovery Sport P300e hybrid's favour here
- 4Performance, engine & driveThe Discovery Sport P300e hybrid isn't the lightest or sportiest SUV, but acceleration is swift and it doesn't lean too much in corners
- 5Interior, dashboard & comfort - currently readingThe Discovery Sport P300e hybrid boasts a luxurious and practical interior, while Land Rover's latest infotainment system is much improved
- 6Boot space, seating & practicalityBoot space and cabin storage are decent, but the Discovery Sport P300e hybrid cannot be specified with seven seats
- 7Reliability & safety ratingThere's no independent crash-test score for the Discovery Sport P300e hybrid yet, and reported Land Rover reliability isn't great

China and America: We Are Not Enemies
The two countries will have to cooperate to keep a peaceful world together.
July 9, 2014
In Chinese, we call the United States of America “meiguo (??)” — meaning “a beautiful country.” Nowadays, most Chinese people do not view America as our enemy, but an important partner and super competitor.
Although our two countries indirectly confronted each other during the Korean War and the Vietnam War, we Chinese still remember our friendship and cooperation against Japan during World War II.
In fact, the Chinese people quite admire America’s development miracles achieved within a comparatively short history.
Since China’s opening up in 1978, the Chinese people have been more interested in increasingly close economic and cultural ties with the U.S., instead of ideological conflicts. As the current largest foreign creditor, China sincerely hopes America can stay prosperous rather than go bankrupt.
An imaginary divide
However, in sharp contrast to these positive sentiments, a recent poll shows that Americans now consider China their nemesis. They see China’s growing economic power as a “critical threat” to the “vital interest” of America.
That conveys a really disappointing message to China and the world. It lets the American people appear as hypocritical and arrogant.
The United States has always been proud of its well-known national values of freedom and equality. So why is developing China not allowed fair and peaceful competition with the United States?
A prosperous China is in line with America’s and the whole world’s interests. Nor would anyone rather face a poor and aggressive China – another North Korea, but with more than 50 times the population.
Either way there is still deep distrust and suspicion between our two countries, especially from the U.S. side. As a result, America may be cheering and encouraging its Asian allies like Japan and the Philippines to challenge China more. However, Japan’s hidden agenda may hurt America eventually.
History is a mirror. America may still uphold the outdated foreign policy doctrine, “the enemy of my enemy is my friend,” but is China really the enemy? Even if China is, do not ignore history. America supported Iraq during the Iran-Iraq War, but in the end Saddam Hussein turned his back on the United States.
Therefore, it is definitely unwise to suppress China by supporting Japan. Currently, America may consider Japan’s military “normalization” as a quite good balance to contain China. However, acquiescing to a re-militarized Japan may well bring future trouble, or even disaster, to the U.S. and the whole world.
Like America, China is just pursuing its own “Chinese Dream,” but it has no interest in replacing America’s global leadership. If someday America unfortunately declines, it will be mainly due to its own internal failure, rather than any of China’s doings.
Therefore, Americans should not mistake China as the enemy, simply out of envy of China’s fast growth. Neither should they unwisely give Japan a chance to restore its past militarism. There are no eternal friends. China is learning that its traditional “little brother” — North Korea — could turn into a threat. Similarly, the U.S. should be wary of Japan.
Getting to know each other
Regarding the mutual distrust between the U.S. and China, besides the ideological differences, the “asymmetric information problem” is another main cause.
People in our two countries get to know each other mainly through domestic media reports, which tend to be politically misleading and biased. Such incomplete knowledge leads to misunderstanding and prejudice.
A related problem is that there currently are many more Chinese experts on America than U.S. experts on China, largely because Chinese people are more willing and keen to learn from America.
Over the last seven years the number of Chinese middle school students who went to study in America increased by a factor of 365. Just last year, about 235,000 Chinese students went to the United States for further education.
Luckily the United States is catching up. Since 2010, the Obama Administration has been pushing a plan to have 100,000 U.S. students study in China by 2014. If the American people really want to understand China, try to learn some basic Chinese. Then we can share common understanding.
A new balance of power
At present, the United States of America and China (so-called “G2”) are undoubtedly the most important global players.
To avoid a “hot war” or a new “Cold War,” America as the existing greatest power and China as an emerging one have no other choice than to collectively forge a “new type of great-power relationship.” Coexistence and cooperation must overcome confrontation and conflicts.
Without the cooperation of both nations, none of the big global and regional challenges, such as climate change, terrorism, nuclear proliferation and financial crisis, will likely be addressed.
Our two countries will have to cooperate as they did in World War II to keep a peaceful and prosperous world together, sooner or later.
China and America could forge a new type of great power relationship based on cooperation instead of conflict.
Chinese people admire and look up to the US’s achievements, so what is America afraid of?
The unnecessary distrust and suspicion between the US and China could hurt the whole world.
Is America avoiding its greatest alliance due to fear of China?
China and the US cooperated in World War II. The Chinese have not forgotten this, but Americans might have.

As the clocks have gone back and with autumn and winter upon us, bad weather can strike suddenly and unexpectedly, so we’ve put together some helpful hints on driving in bad weather conditions.
Our Winter Driving Campaign, which is aligned with our behavioural safety initiative, Safe Home Every Day, provides advice and guidance to drivers of vehicles on how to stay safe when driving in wintery conditions.
In addition to the usual precautions for driving in wintery conditions - such as planning routes to favour major roads which are more likely to have been cleared and gritted and putting safety before punctuality when the bad weather closes in and allowing extra time for winter journeys – our guide provides hints and tips on topics that are maybe not so obvious, including:
- Snow and ice
- Battery and electrics
With over 2,000 people injured in reported accidents on Great Britain's roads when there was snow or ice on the road surface*, it is imperative that extra care and precaution is taken by those driving any type of vehicle whilst on the road.
This campaign is just one of a number of initiatives delivered by Careys Plant & Fleet designed at promoting safer driving and encouraging people to plan ahead before they start their journey, with the aim of minimising breakdown and reducing accidents.

Sophie loves these balls she has both a small and a medium. They are great for indoor fetch. She loves all her Duraplush toys! She is 7 pounds I would recommend the small for a dog her size. Great fun, so soft, and it’s easy for her to pick up.
My German Shepherd is in LOVE with these balls. They are his “lovies.” He kneads at them and sucks on them. I got him a new one for the house only. He likes to sneak them outside and then they get ruined. He never ever shreds these!!
Loves it! Nuzzzle to the max.
