ECONOMYNEXT – Sri Lanka Opposition Leader Sajith Premadasa informed President Gotabaya Rajapaksa in parliament today of alleged reports that USD 50 million has been allocated to repair Sri Lanka Air Force (SLAF)’s Kfir fighter jets at a time when COVID-19 is raging in the country.
Though it is in the interest of national security that those aircraft are maintained, said Preamdasa, the funds should be prioritised to combat the epidemic. The Samagi Jana Balavegaya (SJB) leader requested the president to ascertain the truth of the reports and take necessary action.
Premadasa also questioned cabinet decision to open 500 outdoor gymnasiums at a cost of RS 625 million. Acknowledging the merits of keeping the country’s youth physically fit, he said that under the circumstances those funds too ought to be used to acquire more intensive care units.
Sri Lanka’s daily COVID-19 cases have reached record levels, with state hospitals running out of ICUs as the fast-spreading UK strain of the virus is threatening to overrun the system.
“I propose that both these plans – the outdoor gyms and repairing fighter jets – be carried out once the epidemic has been brought under control,” he said.
Meanwhile, Sports Minister Namal Rajapaksa, who had presented the cabinet paper on the 500 outdoor gyms, defending the proposal. The Rs 625 to be allocated for the project was not going to be taken from the COVID-19 fund or any other funds reserved for containing the epidemic.
“It was a cabinet paper presented in accordance with the budget,” he said. (Colombo/May05/2021)

The outstanding highlight from Bhutan is your intimacy with the country, told through the people you meet, the culture you are immersed in, and the traditions unchanged for centuries. This intimacy extends to exploring the food, likely different in Bhutan of what you've come to expect from what you'd encounter on other places in Asia. Bhutan isn't famous for being the most delighful and like Southern Thailand, not everyone enjoy the abundance of fresh chili in almost every dish. But there are very personal moments as food provides a sphere to meet with locals and share something of yourself with the Bhutanese.
In Bhutan, savor regional specialties, with impromptu opportunities to get involved in a kitchen or be invited to share a local meal. Learn to understand Bhutanese cuisine it is necessary to know the basic history of the people and the importance of Bhutan in regional and in Silk Road trade, which influenced the cuisine (Chinese and Indian dishes especially prominent). Though the culinary offerings in Bhutan have little over southern neighbors, India and Thailand, (who really does?), travelers may enjoy simple but tasty country food. Maligned in the past as a cuisine mainly of yak cheese and chilies (indeed, in 2005 Ruth Reichl, Editor of Gourmet, wrote Bhutan had ''the world's worst cuisine"), there is nothing to fear—the few travelers who have trickled in before you and opening of luxury resorts, including the Aman, have created a market for more varied and quality dining and restaurants and newer hotels are delivering local dishes for international tastes and also offer Indian, Chinese and Nepali food and the results have been dramatic.
Bhutan is primarily an agrarian society that features a simpler cuisine largely confined to only four variables—the kind and quantity of chilies used, the kind of meat or vegetable, if any of either (usually radish, cabbage, potato or mushroom); and the presence or absence of dates (a local cheese akin to paneer). Did we mention chilies? They are in almost everything, much like salt in Western cuisine, but prepared as entrées in their own right for the Bhutanese love a dish with a kick of spice. Despite popular dishes that are meat-based, many Bhutanese are vegetarian and those on meat-free diets will enjoy a variety of delicious dishes.
Even if you're unfamiliar with Bhutan's cuisine, you may still know of its distinctive red rice—prominent in its dishes. Bhutanese red rice is a semi-milled red japonica rice—some of the reddish bran is left on the rice. Because of this, it cooks somewhat faster than an unmilled brown rice and is similar to brown rice in texture, but with a nutty taste. It is the only variety of rice that grows at high altitude and when cooked, the rice is pale pink, soft and slightly sticky. Buckwheat, and increasingly, corn, comprise other staples of the Bhutanese agrarian diet. Bhutanese diet also features simple dishes of chicken, yak meat, dried beef, pork, pork fat and mutton. Soups and stews of meat, rice, ferns, lentils, and dried vegetables spiced with chili peppers and cheese are a favorite meal during the cold seasons.
Zow shungois a rice dish mixed with leftover vegetables. Ema datshi, made very spicy with cheese and chili peppers (akin to chili con queso), very well might be singled out as the national dish for its ubiquity and the pride that Bhutanese have for it. Other foods include jasha maru, a chicken dish; phaksha paa, thukpa, bathup and fried rice (top and jasha tshoem, a Bhutanese chicken curry.
Popular snacks include momo (dumplings), shakam eezay (red chilies and dried beef)and liver. Other popular non-vegetarian dishes include shakam paa (Dried Beef Curry), sikkam paa (Dried Pork Curry) and paksha paa (Pork with Vegetables). Dairy foods, particularly butter and cheese from yak and cow, are also popular, and indeed almost all milk is turned to butter and cheese. Popular beverages include butter tea, tea, locally brewed ara (rice wine) and beer. Spices include cardamom, ginger, chili peppers, thingay (Sichuan pepper), garlic, turmeric and caraway
Dining customs and considerations in Bhutan are much like in Myanmar—don't feel awkward if someone refuses to eat with you upon invitation; when offered food, one says meshu meshu, covering one's mouth with the hands in refusal according to Bhutanese manners... but then will give in on a second or third offer, so be politely persistent with your invitation.

Arjun* is a community health worker who has been working in a remote, hilly region in the state of Odisha, India, for the past 10 years. This region is primarily inhabited by indigenous communities, known as Adivasis, and has had relatively poorer health outcomes until the past decade, when the Government of India introduced several health system reforms to strengthen public health service delivery.
Arjun is addressing the tribal women during the ‘Village Health and Nutrition Day’ (a monthly outreach clinic) and demonstrating how to protect children from diarrhea, one of the most common diseases among children in the region and a leading cause of child mortality. Women are paying rapt attention as they listen to his messages. Arjun defies gender stereotypes through his sheer commitment to a profession which is otherwise dominated by women. His sincerity and dedication to the cause of improving the health of the community not only has earned the respect and trust of the village women but also the ‘Best Health Worker’ award from the government in recognition of his efforts.
The photograph was clicked by the first author as part of a study aiming to understand maternal and child health practices among an indigenous community in this region. The study involved, apart from interviewing the women, observations of outreach clinics and accompanying the health workers in their everyday work. Community health workers play an important role as an interface between the community and the health system. Women’s access to routine maternal health services, including antenatal care, family planning, and immunization, has reasonably increased with the regular holding of the outreach clinics in the village, although accessing emergency obstetric services continues to be a concern. For many of these Adivasi women, the outreach clinics and interactions with health workers provide a forum for systematic engagement with biomedicine and the state. The study was conducted from September, 2015 to January 2016 and was jointly supervised by the second and third authors.

Andhra Assembly passes Bill to rechristen Health University after YSR
Amaravati: Andhra Pradesh State Legislative Assembly on Wednesday passed a Bill to rechristen Dr NTR University of Health as Dr YSR University of Health.
Ignoring the objections and protests of the opposition Telugu Desam Party (TDP), the YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) government went ahead with the legislation.
The Dr NTR University of Health Sciences (Amendment) Bill 2022 was passed unanimously in the absences of TDP members, who were earlier suspended from the House by Speaker Tammineni Seetharam for stalling the proceedings in protest against the government’s move.
Minister for medical and health Vidadala Rajini tabled the Bill and the same was passed after a debate.
Chief Minister Y. S. Jagan Mohan Reddy defended the government’s move to rechristen the university. He told the House that the decision was taken after careful examination of the proposal and made it clear that he has great respect for NTR. “I have more respect for NTR than Chandrababu Naidu,” he said and pointed out that his government named a district after NTR though nobody demanded it.
The chief minister said he asked himself a question whether renaming the university was a correct step and only after he was satisfied the government took a step in this regard.
Explaining the reasons for renaming the university, Jagan Mohan Reddy said Y. S. Rajasekhara Reddy (YSR) was not only a physician and politician but was also a great humanitarian who understood hardships of the poor and provided best healthcare facilities to them for free.
The chief minister recalled that the late YSR is credited with bringing public health services like 104 and 108 for people and he also implemented revolutionary schemes like Arogyasri. He said as many as 28 medical colleges were established during YSR and Y S Jagan regimes while not a single college came up during the TDP rule.
Health minister recalled that former chief minister Y. S. Rajasekhara Reddy strived a lot for the development of the medical and health sector. She said it was YSR who introduced Arogyasri scheme to provide free healthcare to the poor.
Tourism minister R. K. Roja thanked the government for changing the name of the university.
Set up in 1986, the Health University was named in 1998 after TDP founder and former chief minister N. T. Rama Rao, who was popularly known as NTR.
With the passing of the Bill, the university has now been renamed after YSR who was father of Chief Minister Jagan Mohan Reddy.
The move triggered angry reaction from TDP, whose legislators in both the houses of State Legislature stalled the proceedings. The party leaders and workers also hit the streets.
All TDP members were suspended from the Assembly as they disrupted the proceedings. On the orders of Speaker Tammineni Seetharam, marshals physically lifted them out of the House.
TDP president and former chief minister N. Chandrababu Naidu slammed Jagan Mohan Reddy government.
Naidu questioned the move to rename NTR Health University that was founded in 1986. “The university was formed by NTR, how can you rename it after your father,” Naidu asked Jagan Mohan Reddy.
It was in 1986 that then chief minister NTR formed a separate health university to promote medical education in united Andhra Pradesh. After the death of NTR, then chief minister Chandrababu Naidu named the university after the late leader.

Additive manufactured (AM) metal alloys has enabled the fabrication of lightweight and high complexity components for the aerospace and automotive industry. Similar to traditional processing methods (e.g. casting, welding), porosity is a common concern in AM metal alloys.
X-Ray Computed Tomography (CT) scanning is the “ultimate” tool for porosity measurement in metal alloys. However, the equipment is costly, bulky and the data requires large storage size and long processing time. Therefore, there is a need to develop alternative non-destructive testing (NDT) techniques that are reliable yet less costly and impose lesser demand on post-measurement processing.
In this work, we reported the use of infrared thermography (IRT) and ultrasonic testing (UT) for porosity measurement of AM metal alloys. The samples-under-test are AM metal specimens with different degree of porosity. Consequently, we obtained the correlation between the IRT and UT results with respect to the degree of porosity. We believe that our method will be beneficial to researchers or engineers working on the NDI of AM metal alloys.
Current and future industry requirements demand advances in NDT. Fast and efficient methods and techniques for defect detection and characterization would be one of the main focus thus improving inspection results. Eddy current thermography is an emerging advanced NDT technique which combines the well-established eddy current testing with thermography inspection. It uses induced eddy current to heat the sample being inspected and defect detection is based on the changes of the induced eddy current flows revealed by thermal visualization over a relatively large area captured by an infrared camera. This work presents the results from 3D FEM simulation and experimental investigation of eddy current thermography on defects in metallic samples. The underlying phenomena of eddy current thermography testing are explored through the simulation which provides the explanation and reasoning of results. Experimental validation and investigation offers an insight to its potential for industrial application. The work demonstrates the effectiveness of eddy current thermography in providing comprehensive and reliable defect assessment.
Due to the recent concern in the Building Fire Safety area in Brazil, especially in the most southern State of the country, Rio Grande do Sul, which was beaten by a commotion wave since the Kiss night club fire in 2013 (killing 242 people), new legislations and standards have been developed. The academic and technical areas are joining efforts to improve the fire safety of buildings and researches have been developed to provide information for legislations and standards. In this context, it is important to understand the fire resistance of non-structural brick masonries, since they are commonly used for wall sealing in reinforced concrete structures, especially in fire escape routes, where a high fire resistance is required. An important concern for brick masonry is to determine the fire resistance time of the walls during a fire situation in order to control the time to evacuate the building. Since standard tests to determine the fire resistance of brick masonry are expensive and time consuming, this paper presents an alternative solution to determine the quality of structural masonry during a fire simulation using thermography analysis and reduced scale elements. The technique comprises in exposing reduced scale brick masonry walls (800 mm high x 800 mm wide with different brick dimensions) to a temperature controlled oven to simulate a fire situation. The output results are in terms of time to propagate the heat through the thickness of the wall considering the various brick configurations, the propagation of cracks, the heat distribution along the wall surface and the fire resistance time. The experimental results demonstrate that the thermography technique is capable of providing precise and complete information on the fire resistance of non-structural brick masonry, even if a reduced scale wall is used.
Every aircraft is plenty of fluid systems, both hydraulic and pneumatic. These systems are necessary for tasks such as fuel distribution and storage, mechanical actuators and carrying air to cabin interior between others. Manufacturing and assembly of these systems require the performance of leak testing for quality assurance. Traditionally, leakage detection testing is performed through system pressure decay monitoring once the system is filled with an inert gas or working fluid. If a pressure decrease is detected, leakages must be located usually by the application of soapy liquid in each junction point of system, which is a time-consuming task.
In this work, new advances in leakage detection are presented by active infrared thermography and using carbon dioxide (CO2) as tracer gas. The application of post-processing algorithms, developed within this work, allows the automatic detection of the leakages, as well as a qualitative approach for its sizing. These algorithms have been tested on different scenarios that simulate aircraft systems in an industrial environment.
In non-destructive imaging of opaque or turbid samples, the spatial information about subsurface structures, such as defects, can be extracted from measured surface data, such as acoustic pressure for ultrasonic imaging or temperature for thermographic imaging. The information about the defects is transferred from the samples interior to its surface by acoustic waves or heat diffusion, respectively. Recently, we showed that the entropy production of these propagation processes limits the transferred information. This poses a principle resolution limit, similar to the Abbe limit in optics. The reason for the entropy production, which reduces the available information about the subsurface structures in the measured surface data, are the thermodynamic fluctuations. They are extremely small for macroscopic samples, but are highly amplified in the ill-posed problem of image reconstruction. For macroscopic samples, the resolution limit depends only on the amplitude of these fluctuations.
Diffusive processes show a high entropy production with increasing diffusion length. Therefore, the resolution limit for thermographic imaging is found to be proportional to the subsurface depth and is described by a depth-dependent thermal point-spread-function (PSF). Like in optics or acoustics, the blurring of imaged structures for thermographic imaging is modelled by convolution with this thermal PSF. Structures smaller than the width of the PSF cannot be resolved in conventional thermographic imaging. Circumventing such a principle resolution limit is called super-resolution. We discuss how blind (unknown) structured illumination combined with non-linear reconstruction algorithms using sparsity of the imaged structures allows thermographic imaging without high degradation of spatial resolution for deeper lying structures.
In turbid media, a coherent light from an infrared excitation laser produces unknown speckle-patterns inside the sample. This blind structured illumination was used for pulsed photothermal radiometry in an epoxy sample to demonstrate a resolution better than the principle limit given by the thermal PSF.
The present work deals with the temperature monitoring of a viscoelastic planar structure submitted to flexural vibrations. In such materials heat sources are generated when submitted to mechanical stresses. This phenomenon has been studied and used for NDT purposes with low frequency ultrasonic compressional and flexural waves (typically from tens to hundreds kHz). Here, the excitation is provided in the audible frequency range so that the first flexural modes of the structure are excited. The center of the plate is clamped to a shaker that provides a mechanical sinusoidal excitation at a frequency corresponding to a chosen vibration mode. The heat source pattern appear to be depending on the vibration pattern of the structure, it is to say, on the mode shape. The underlying phenomenon is studied both experimentally and numerically with an anisotropic plastic plate. Extra effort has been made to measure both the mechanical and the thermic properties of the sample in order to simulate the complete behavior of the structure. Experimental and numerical results are in good agreement. This excitation technic offers perspectives for the localization of defects in large structures.
Understanding the gradual failure process of carbon fiber reinforced plastics (CFRP) is the key for exploiting their full potential for lightweight applications. Acoustic emission (AE) can support this process through the detection and evaluation of transient acoustic signals released from loaded CFRP specimen in the moment of damage initiation and progression. This way, not only the presence of damage, but also its location, severity and type can be determined by analyzing arrival times as well as energy and frequency contents of the acquired acoustic signals.
In order to differentiate between different types of damage, one has to identify their acoustic signature. This is usually done by correlating extracted AE parameters from acquired signals during a mechanical test with the resulting damage pattern of the specimen that is visualized offline in a time consuming process by imaging methods such as X-ray tomography or microscopy.
In this study, passive thermography is utilized to identify occurring damage inline on the basis of their released heat patterns to support the AE analysis in the identification of acoustic fingerprints and the characterization of damage progression.
Mechanical tests are performed on cross-ply CFRP coupon specimen subjected to quasi-static tensile loading in the 0° and 90° fiber direction while an IR camera and two wide band AE sensors are utilized to monitor the specimen during the test. Heat patterns are extracted from the series of IR data through advanced image processing techniques and correlated with the generated AE signals in order to identify damage modes such as fiber breakage or matrix fracture. An unsupervised pattern recognition approach is then utilized to find similar AE signals and characterize the gradual failure process in the specimen. The outcome is validated with the resulting damage pattern that is visualized offline via X-ray tomography after the mechanical test.
Pipeline transport is used for transportation of various media, both gas and liquid, including high-temperature water vapor. Steam lines operate under extreme conditions with a vapor temperature of up to 450 ° C, a pressure of up to 7 MPa and a steam speed of up to 30 m / s, while condensate is formed due to heat loss through the pipe walls. The presence of these factors leads to the formation of walls corrosion and erosion, their thinning and subsequent destruction. Thus, it becomes necessary to perform an express analysis of the technical condition of the steam pipelines without removing them from service using non-destructive testing methods.
Non-destructive testing of steam pipelines has a number of features that do not allow the use of contact methods (ultrasonic, x-ray, magnetic) during their operation. These features include the high temperature of the steam and, as a consequence, the high temperature of the pipe wall. Thus it is expedient to apply remote control methods. The presence of a temperature gradient on the surface of the pipe allows us to apply the IR Thermography, which is remote, fast-acting and highly informative method.
The application of the subsequent mathematical processing of the received information in the form of radiometric tables allows to determine the geometric parameters of the defects (area, depth, thermophysical characteristics), and also to calculate the remaining life of the investigated steam pipelines.
A new approach is proposed for determining the geometric parameters of the defects and calculating the residual life of steam pipelines with a diameter greater than 400 mm with calculation of the defect area and the subsequent solution of the one-dimensional heat conduction problem by the sweep method. This approach allows us to accelerate the procedure for calculating the geometric parameters of defects by solving only a one-dimensional problem.
Infrared Thermography (IRT) methods have experienced a strong growth during the last decade, extending their application fields to multiple industrial sectors as aerospace, energy, naval, automotive, etc. Reason is the fact that IRT is a fast and portable inspection procedure, where a short calibration time is required, enabling a significant reduction of the lead time. Internal defects are detected and their external dimensions and location on the component surface determined. The weak point of this technique is the lack of accurate data about defect position in component thickness: traditional IRT techniques only provide qualitative information about depth, being possible to distinguish if defects are close to front or rear surface, according to the time where they are identified in the infrared sequence.
In this work, advanced post-processing methods, based on Thermographic Signal Reconstruction (TSR) technique, have been applied for analysing infrared sequences. This procedure merges the information from the whole sequence in only one thermal image where quantitative data about defects depth are included.
Pipeline is the main pathway for oil long-distance transmission. PE heat-shrinkable tape sticking to the pipe is usually used in the field coating of welded joints in China, in the process of its manufacturing and maintenance.Failure of field coating of welded joints because of bonding problem can lead to corrosion, which important common damage of pipeline.Rapid detection technology for heat-shrinkable tape bonding quality is the foundation of pipeline quality control. Nonetheless, finding a effective inspection technology for heat-shrinkable tape bonding quality is a challenging task. In this study, we work on the utilization of optical infrared thermography test for heat-shrinkable tape bonding quality evaluation. A uniform heating infrared lamp is used for the surface heating, thermal detector records the change of the surface temperature. This technology provides a rapid bonding quality testing and assessment technology. The successes and limitations of this technique will be discussed in this article.


The campaign to elect Congresswoman Barbara Lee to the U.S. Senate got a big boost today, as the Culver City Democratic Club announced its endorsement of the Congresswoman’s campaign.
“The Culver City Democratic Club enthusiastically endorses Congresswoman Barbara Lee,” said Culver City Democratic Club President Jeff Schwartz. “As Culver City’s oldest and largest political organization, we take very seriously our responsibility to identify and endorse the most effective progressive, and that is clearly Barbara Lee. From her inspiring work on behalf of peace to her consistent championing of our progressive values, the members of the Culver City Democratic Club are excited to join those saying ‘Barbara Lee speaks for me!’”
The endorsement – from the oldest and largest political organization in Culver City – is significant for the Northern California Congresswoman, and demonstrates that her career of progressive accomplishments resonates with progressives throughout the state.
“I am very proud to have received the support of the Culver City Democratic Club,” said Congresswoman Lee. “This Club has played an important role in creating a more progressive future for Culver City, and I am very excited to work with them to bring more economic, climate and racial justice to all of California.”


I just bought my first drz a couple of weeks ago and was doing the loctite fixes before i took it out. I cleaned the stator bolts and holes one @ a time applied a drop of red loctite and tourqed them back down to spec. I left the stator cover off when I came back 48 hours later to check how hard it would be to pull them back out they came out easily like i didnt even put threadloc on them. Should i put the cover back on and fill it up with oil and quit worring? Thanks for any help in advance.

The subject of this article originates from non-canonical sources. To find out about what is considered "canon" see LOTR:Canon.
It was created specifically for Middle-earth Role Playing, and is non-canonical.
Kuska is an important settlement. It is the central village of the locality and closest to Castle Morkai. The fortifications of the town, made by an irregular stone wall about twenty feet high, protect one of the approaches to Castle Morkai. The settlement lies only a quarter mile away from the Angmar road, and a narrow track connects the two. Its inhabitants are primarily Dunlendings from Rhudaur, and some men from Rhûn.
Most of the population make their living by farming, but there are a variety of other professions present; the town has a tavern, a blacksmith, a cobbler, a carpenter, and a weaver. There is a regular village guard of full time soldiers, residents who prefer military rather than domestic duties.
The town is governed by a village council. Every man is a member of the council, and the council's headman is elected every six years. The council is responsible for carrying out any orders that come from Castle Morkai, organizing regular patrols giving aid to the soldiers of Angmar, and paying taxes.
When the roads are passable and the weather permits, there is a monthly market in Kuska. There is a fair every autumn, and men come from the surrounding villages to buy and sell livestock and other commodities. The center of the village contains an open area where the markets and fairs are held.
The architecture of the village typifies the cold climate. The houses are two stories high. The first story is a barn and stable, the second the living quarters. The main room of the house is the kitchen. The large stove takes up almost a quarter of the space in this room. The kitchen walls are covered with thick heavy rugs and lined with benches which are the family's beds. Some of the most luxurious houses contain one or two additional small rooms, that may provide extra sleeping space or act as a Sunday parlor, depending on the size of the house.
Each house has its own enclosure. This space usually includes a well, one or two outbuildings such as a workshop or a forge, or perhaps an additional barn, depending on the profession of the owner.
The fields and pastures of the farmers are located outside of the wall. Most of the cultivated lands lie between the village and the road, or on the other side of the road. Like most of the farmers of Angmar, those of Kuska emphasize cultivation rather than animal husbandry. They plant rye, barley, turnips, cabbage, and potatoes.
Places of interest Edit
Grey Moon Inn Edit
The Grey Moon Inn is superb by Angmar standards, but hopelessly primitive by any other. The large, warm stables are the most confortable part of its facilities. In addition there is a large common room heated by a huge fireplace and a kitchen. The upper story of the inn contains one single room, and a large dormitory with a number of pallets which can hold up to thirty in a press.
It is well stocked with ale and wine because of its important location. Off duty soldiers from Castle Morkai often come to the inn to relax. The food, however, is poor, consisting primarily of porridge.

Five Must Haves in Your Emergency Medicine Kit
We can’t avert emergencies but we can surely prepare for them. Experts in emergency preparedness insist that we must carry emergency medicine in our first aid kits. What they forget to tell us though, is exactly which drugs to carry for which condition?
Here is a list of five medicines you must have with you in case emergency strikes:
The drugs to carry depend on the emergency but since it is difficult to know exactly what to expect, it is better to be ready for anything.
Painkillers like aspirin and ibuprofen are totally useful in emergency cases. In an emergency, pain is inevitable and even when medical workers are not close by, you can turn to your emergency medicine to save you the agony. It is indeed very thoughtful to have such pain relief medicine at all times. You can have some in your wallet, inside your office drawer and some at home. This can make all the difference in an emergency.
In an emergency, the most vulnerable people are those with pre-existing conditions like asthma. This is why sabultamol is the next most important emergency medicine for you. Even if nobody in your family has asthma, there can be situations where choking, wheezing and anaphylaxis occur. All these breathing problems are so easily handled by good old sabultamol but they can be fatal if you don’t have any with you when disaster strikes.
There are many ways in which an emergency may occur. In many emergencies, people are left in dire need for adrenaline. You might not expect it but adrenaline is indeed one of the most essential emergency medicines you will ever need. You might get a panic attack when emergency strikes and a shot of adrenaline might just be what you need to save yourself. Pack some in your emergency kit and you will be safe when the inevitable comes.
The Holy grail of emergency medicine is actually potassium iodade which we sell. This is the protection you get in case of a nuclear fallout. This is because it treats any internal radiation contamination. Many people never know what they would do if a nuclear disaster occurred today. Potassium iodade is in fact their most important companion. This medicine is a stable salt of non radioactive iodine that can protect you from the radioactive ones. This medicine must only be used after careful consultation with emergency physicians.
You might not consider glucose medicine but it definitely has a place in my list of five emergency medicines you must have. It helps diabetics keep their conditions in check and might help you out also if your blood sugar suddenly declines when emergency strikes. For hypoglycemia, oral glucose comes in handy to prevent seizures.
This is just a tip of the iceberg when it comes to the emergency drugs you must have. If there are any medical conditions among your family members, make sure you have a pack of the medicines they need in your emergency kit. This is not only thoughtful but it could also save their lives should disaster strike. Prepare yourself and save your skin should emergency occur-it is worth it!

Victim's family is suing the automaker.
On the morning of March 23, 2018, Walter Huang, an Apple employee and owner of a 2017 Tesla Model X, dropped his two young children off at school and headed to work on the same route, US Highway 101, he took every day. Only that day his Model X collided with a highway barrier while Autopilot was running. A significant fire erupted and Huang was killed. And now his family has sued both Tesla and the state of California for wrongful death.
According to court documents courtesy of Bloomberg, Huang's family is seeking damages due to perceived negligence by the automaker. Only eight seconds before the crash, Huang was traveling at about 65 mph, according to an investigation by the National Highway Transportation Safety Board.
Only a second later, the Model X veered to the left but was still following the same vehicle as before. However, four seconds later it was no longer following that vehicle, and then it began to accelerate. It reached 71 mph three seconds before crashing into a concrete highway barrier. The Autopilot's cruise control system had been set to 75 mph. Information taken from the vehicle's data recorder shows no pre-crash braking or evasive steering prior to impact. That impact was powerful enough to breach the battery pack and the vehicle caught on fire. The pictures above show the aftermath of the crash and fire.
Not long after the crash, Tesla blamed Huang for what happened, claiming he had about five seconds and 150 meters of unobstructed view of the barrier but took no action. Tesla insisted its Autopilot system was safe and functioned properly. The NTSB's preliminary report did not assign blame, but highlighted several contributing factors, including both Huang and Autopilot. Huang's family is suing California for failing to repair or replace a crash cushion that had been damaged a week prior to Huang's accident.
Huang's family attorney said his team of investigators had access to the Model X post-crash but the vehicle's data is proprietary and it belongs to Tesla. He claims Tesla has not shared that data. There have been other instances where Tesla owners complained about Autopilot issues, but Huang's case is far more serious. So far, Tesla has declined to comment on the lawsuit.

Today’s card uses a stamp set that has been gathering dust on my shelf I am afraid.
Crafting Forever, when it first came out in the Annual Catalogue, I just had to have it! I used it in a class or two last year, then put it on the shelf and forgot all about it, sigh….. tell me I am not the only one that does this, please!!!
Since joining the What Will You Stamp? Challenge Blog Design Team I have been showing much more love to stamp sets that I had forgotten about! I just love that about being part of this awesome team, I am forced to pull out stamps and play with them again!!
I used the watercolour smooshing technique my friend Jenny did on a card last week. Unfortunately I did not think to take a photo of this so I hope you understand how to do it by my explaining.
You take your Silicone Craft Sheet and put a drop or two of re-inker on it, dilute it with some water and then spread it around into a basic shape using a Aqua Painter. Then take your piece of cardstock and place it on top of the ink and lightly press it into the ink. Carefully lift it off and use a paper towel to absorb the excess. I think it looks pretty cool!!
I used my Fine Tip Glue Pen to make the paint brushes, exacto knife and pencil look glossy after I coloured them with my Aqua Painter, I think it just gives them a little more definition. Yes, I did fussy cut the image out, I wanted it to really pop off the background. I thought it needed something else in between the background and the pot with crafting tools, so I ran some snail on the card front to attach some Black Metallic Thread.
A few Glitter dots from the Glitter & Clear Epoxy Shapes across the front finishes it off nicely!
Here are the dimensions for today’s card;
Thick Whisper White cardstock, cut to 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″ and scored at 4-1/4″
Basic Black cardstock, cut to 5-1/4″ x 4″
Shimmery White cardstock, cut to 5-1/8″ x 3-7/8″
Shimmery White cardstock scrap that the image is stamped and fussy cut out.
Remember, all the supplies I used to create today’s card can be purchased in my Online Store, and every $30 purchase (before shipping and tax) gets you a punch on your Pink Rewards card!!
Thanks so much for stopping by today!

House Approves Bill to Fast Track Fracking on Public Lands
By a vote of 235-187, the U.S. House of Representatives yesterday approved its latest giveaway to the oil and gas industry—a bill that would fast track the approval of fracking on public lands, according to Environment America.
“Fracking is already wreaking havoc on our environment and health," said Environment America’s Federal Clean Water Program Director, Courtney Abrams. “America’s public lands—from the White River National Forest in Colorado to Chaco Canyon in New Mexico—should be protected for all Americans to enjoy. However, this reckless bill puts our special places and the communities that rely on them for drinking water and recreation at risk from fracking.
The bill, H.R. 2728, sponsored by Rep. Flores (R-TX), is one of three pro-industry, anti-environment bills that House is expected to pass this week.
According to Earthjustice, the bill, among other things, would:
- Delay the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s study on impacts of fracking
- Eliminate baseline federal protections for public lands from fracking
- Keep important data about water contamination from families living on and near fracking sites
"Today they’re standing in the way of important research into fracking impacts, keeping critical public health data from families who live near fracking sites, and eliminating baseline federal protections for this air and water polluting practice," said Jessica Ennis, senior legislative representative with Earthjustice. “This continued pattern of secrecy surrounding and de-regulation of the fracking industry has resulted in a steady stream of public health and safety problems—problems our leaders should be fixing instead of worsening."
The bill prevents the Department of the Interior—who's charged with managing and protecting federal lands for the public—from enforcing federal regulations on hydraulic fracturing and instead, deferring to individual states rules, no matter how inadequate they may be. The Natural Resources Defense Council's Bobby McEnany points out the bill's unstated purpose: to give control to whichever level of government is least likely to protect the public and the environment.
“With recent polls showing opposition to fracking growing even higher, and voters in Colorado approving a series of bans on the practice, the House Majority Leadership is demonstrating, once again, how out of touch with voters it’s become,” Ennis said.

California is bracing for rare January wildfires this week amid damaging Santa Ana winds coupled with unusually hot and dry winter weather.
High winds, gusting up to 80- to 90 miles per hour in some parts of the state, are expected to last through Wednesday evening. Nearly the entire state has been in a drought for months, according to the U.S. Drought Monitor, which, alongside summerlike temperatures, has left vegetation dry and flammable.
Utilities Southern California Edison and PG&E, which serves the central and northern portions of the state, warned it may preemptively shut off power to hundreds of thousands of customers to reduce the risk of electrical fires sparked by trees and branches falling on live power lines. The rare January fire conditions come on the heels of the worst wildfire season ever recorded in California, as climate change exacerbates the factors causing fires to be more frequent and severe.
California is also experiencing the most severe surge of COVID-19 cases since the beginning of the pandemic, with hospitals and ICUs over capacity and a stay-at-home order in place. Wildfire smoke can increase the risk of adverse health effects due to COVID, and evacuations forcing people to crowd into shelters could further spread the virus.
As reported by AccuWeather:
In the atmosphere, air flows from high to low pressure. The setup into Wednesday is like having two giant atmospheric fans working as a team with one pulling and the other pushing the air in the same direction.
Normally, mountains to the north and east of Los Angeles would protect the downtown which sits in a basin. However, with the assistance of the offshore storm, there will be areas of gusty winds even in the L.A. Basin. The winds may get strong enough in parts of the basin to break tree limbs and lead to sporadic power outages and sparks that could ignite fires.
"Typically, Santa Ana winds stay out of downtown Los Angeles and the L.A. Basin, but this time, conditions may set up just right to bring 30- to 40-mph wind gusts even in those typically calm condition areas," said AccuWeather Senior Meteorologist Mike Doll.

i was going to write a piece on the grant meads case, but deborah beat me to it. however, there are a couple of aspects of the case that i want to talk about, other than the excellent point she has raised.
the main defence in this case was that mr meads didn't mean to pull the trigger, even though he took a loaded shotgun with him & pointed it at her, with the safety catch off. i'm glad that the jury had no trouble dismissing that defence.
what concerned me more, though, is that the defence presented this couple as being happily married. evidence was provided to this effect, in the form of cards that were exchanged & other statements. given that the evidence he had abused her previously was withheld from the court (and i have no problem with that), i don't see how the defence could introduce evidence trying to prove they had a happy marriage. especially when 1) this was known to be false and 2) the prosecution would be unable to rebut it because they couldn't introduce evidence of the abuse.
i'm not a lawyer, so it's quite possible i'm missing something important. i accept that people have the right to a full defence, and the right to use any defence that is legally available to them. but surely there must be some limit on a defence that is clearly known to be false, on the basis that the jury are being misled? i don't know, it just doesn't seem right to me.
nor does it seem right that the accused could give interviews to the media, presenting himself as a helpless victim of circumstances. the sunday star times article is here, and reaction to it is here. why exactly is this allowed to happen, when the case hasn't even come to trial yet? even if he was only an accused person at that stage who might have been innocent, it's just wrong.

In place of reaching out for dessert if you feel low or exhausted, take to providing it a healthy change. To have an exact evaluation of one’s eating habits, you need at least a couple of days a week—including one weekend day—but a complete week is better yet.


Will Rogers World Airport
Will Rogers World Airport is located in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. It is the primary commercial airport for the Oklahoma City Metropolitan Area. While some airports are customarily named international airports, Will Rogers is the only airport to designate “World” in its name. The airport has no international flights despite the presence of customs and immigration services. The elevation of Will Rogers World Airport is 1,295 feet above sea level. As of 2011, more than 3 million passengers and over a 130,000 aircrafts travel to and from Will Rogers World Airport. More than 68.5 million pounds of cargo went through the airport in 2010. The airport is named for comedian and cowboy Will Rogers. Roger, an Oklahoma native, was killed in a plane crash in 1935. It is the busiest airport in the state of Oklahoma.
History of Will Rogers Airport
During America’s involvement in World War II, the airport was known as Will Rogers Field. At the time, the airport served as a training facility for the US Army Air Force’s fighter and bomber units. It was the first leg of pre-deployment training destinations. A main terminal building was built in 1967. In the late 1990s, the building was deemed unsuitable.
The Oklahoma City Airport Trust later adopted a three phase plan that included renovating the terminal in 2001. A new and improved terminal was constructed to replace the twin concourses that were demolished to make way for the project. The estimated cost of the projected is estimated at $110 million. The first phase involved the construction of walkways from the parking garage to the main terminal building. Additional construction included a new core of elevators and escalators on both the tunnel level and on level one. Reconstruction was made to the roofs of the lower level and level one were made. The second phase included construction of a new concourse west of the central terminal area. Renovations were made to both the exterior and interior to match the new design. The new concourse was opened in 2005, while the phase itself was completed in late 2006. The third and final phase is intended to construct a new concourse located east of the central terminal. Once completed, eight new gates will be added to the terminal. Construction of the final phase is delayed due to the aviation industry facing a decrease of airline passengers.
There is one terminal with 17 gates located at the West Concourse and Central Concourse. The gates on the south side of the building are even numbered, while the gates on the north side are odd numbered. However, due to the layout of the terminal, many odd-numbered gates are omitted. Once the final phase continues and is completed, there will be a total of nine additional gates. The number of gates will be increased to 26. The new facility will also house international flights and include the customs and immigration services. Will Rogers World Airport approved a contract with Frankfurt Short Bruzza Associates in 2008. The firm is responsible for the final phase of the airport’s expansion.
Airlines Serving Oklahoma City Airport
As the largest airport in the state of Oklahoma, Will Rogers World Airport is naturally served by major domestic airlines. The lower level of the terminal building is the baggage claim area for all airlines. The Upper Level hosts the ticket counters for all the airline companies serving Oklahoma City’s airport.
The largest city in Oklahoma is connected directly to Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport via American Airlines. This major U.S. carrier is actually based in the city of Fort Worth, which is home to the busiest airport in Texas.

Delta Air Lines links Oklahoma City with several airports that serve as busy domestic hubs for the company. Atlanta, Detroit, Minneapolis, Memphis, and Salt Lake City can be reached in non-stop flights offered by Delta Connection services that depart from the gates in the East Concourse at Will Rogers World Airport.
Frontier Airlines invites passengers at Will Rogers World Airport to the company’s headquarters. This major low-cost airline directs air traffic into Denver International Airport in the capital city of Colorado. In fact, the flight to Denver is one of the limited West Coast options offered at Oklahoma’s busiest airport. Frontier Airlines uses the gates in the West Concourse of the terminal.
When it comes to the most destination choices at Will Rogers World Airport, Southwest Airlines is number one on the list. America’s largest low cost airline connects Oklahoma City to major cities in Texas such as Dallas and Houston.

Teaching kids responsibility, empathy and kindness with pets
For most families, a pet is an important member of the family, whether it’s a dog, cat, mouse, or an iguana. A pet is a great start for children to learn empathy, kindness, and responsibility, among other things.
Of course, you should never expect that your children will shoulder the responsibility for your pet. However, do allow them to care for a pet, along with your supervision, encouragement, and support. Interest is the main factor to get your children into getting a pet, or in designating responsibilities. Some children really enjoy taking care of a pet and being with its company. A responsibility of taking care a pet also teaches children to be more communicative, sociable and physically active.
Children must read and understand the behavior and body language of their pets. This is for their safety as well as for their pets’. Since most families own dogs and cats, parents should teach their children proper behavior towards Rover and Mittens. When approaching a dog or cat children should call its name softly before going near towards it. Parents should also teach their children to leave a dog or a cat alone whenever it’s eating, playing with their own toys, asleep or ill. It’s also important that children should also learn their pet’s body language. For instance, when a dog lowers its ears or tail, it says “back off.” A pet cat, on the, on the other hand, conveys this message by growling, crouching or hissing.
Parents should also teach their children how to properly deal with smaller animals such as hamsters, mice, guinea pigs, and other domesticated rodents as well as rabbits, puppies, and kittens. A secure and safe handling should consist of holding a pet with one hand beneath the animal’s hind legs. They should stop holding their small pets if they are frightened or upset — remember an upset animal may bite your children! Older kids would most likely be better at handling at these pets than pre-schoolers and toddlers, as they don’t yet understand how to respond to a pet’s body language. If you want, check out our related hub Choosing Small Pets.
As for “exotic” animals such as snakes, lizards, and ferrets, as well as birds, a more serious adult supervision is required. These kinds of pets require expert handling as these animals may not be suitable for very young kids.
Playing with pets fosters interaction, and it’s a great bonding between kids and their pets. Of course, parents should keep a close eye on their kids playing with a pet, whether it is a large dog or a small hamster. Intervene if the play gets too rough or the animal appears bothered or upset.
Teaching Kids to Care for Pets
You should remind your kids that a pet is not a toy to play with. Owning a pet necessitates a big responsibility. Fortunately, kids want to learn more. Spend with your child in reading books about a particular pet. Teach children on what appropriate foods should be fed to pets, and how to feed them properly. Instruct your kids on how to clean their cages. Kids should not also forget to wash their hands after cleaning the cages. From doing these chores, kids will learn responsibility.
You may also encourage your child to go along to vet appointments. Not only that your pets are taken care of inside a vet clinic, but it may also help their young masters feel better about their own appointments with their pediatrician. With these vet appointments, even younger kids can learn how these exams and vaccinations are important to your pet. When your children became more educated about pets, they will be more likely to treat them with more compassion.
Establish realistic expectations
Some people set unrealistic expectations for their children when taking care of pets. Some parents put too much responsibility on their children or assume that their kids have done certain responsibilities on a pet such as feeding it or giving it with water. In order to be successful in teaching your kids in caring for their pets, is to establish expectations that are realistic for your children, depending on their age, personality, and level of development.
Every kid is different, and even kids at a younger age are already able to handle more responsibility. But you can expect your children to do these tasks depending on their age and developmental stages:
- Toddlers: can play with a pet, help place back pet toys, or help to feed a pet.
- Pre-schoolers: can be taught safety measures such as leaving the pet alone when it’s eating or asleep, or avoiding to touch a pet’s face
- Grade-schoolers: can feed and bathe a pet, walk a pet and clean its cage with adult supervision
- Teenagers: can have all the basic knowledge of taking care of a pet. They can also teach and train a pet several tricks.
Of course, parents should also instill safety when teaching kids how to take care of pets. Both child and pet will be benefit from this.
You should have known enough to tell your kids what and what not to feed to your pets. For instance, feeding chocolates to a pet dog and cat is a cardinal no-no as chocolates deem toxic to them. Resist your children from feeding pets with human food as it encourages begging and obesity in pets.
Also, supervise kids (especially younger ones) when they walk their pets on a leash at all times, particularly when outside the confines of your backyard. For instance, a nervous and agitated dog might run quickly away all of a sudden, thus hurting your child or making him or her run after it.
Whether your pet may carry a disease (particularly a bird or a turtle) or may not, you should still teach your children to wash and sanitize their hands after handling or playing with it.
