There’s no arguing that drone enthusiasts are more than willing to spend their savings on an show-stopping piece of equipment, and while that may be necessary in some cases, Chinese drone manufacturers aren’t as convinced. Their most recent hexacopter, the Typhoon H, boasts sense-and-avoid technology, six rotors, fully-retractable landing gear as well as a 360-degree gimbal camera. All this for $1,800.
Initially, Intel demoed this technology in an expensive prototype that didn’t catch the audience’s attention. However, for under $2,000, the Yuneec Typhoon H drone is well worth taking a closer look at. During Intel’s CES keynote, Brian Krzanich demonstrated the capabilities of the Typhoon H. He cleverly maneuvered the drone, which, to the audience’s delight, flawlessly navigated obstacle courses and avoided falling trees. So, let’s see what this drone is capable of doing.
Typhoon H Key-Features & Specifications
Drone enthusiasts look for several things when picking out a drone. Until recently, the DJI Phantom 3 was the drone to buy, both in terms of reliability, ease-of-use, power and low-maintenance requirements. Simply put, the Phantom captures breathtaking footage and generally encounters little to no problems. The professional version is priced at $1,250 and boasts a full 4k camera. DJI’s higher end drones (such as the Inspire One) sell for approximately $2,800. But the Typhoon H may finally prove to be the worthy contender that finally dethrones DJI as the lead drone manufacturer.
Much like DJI’s Inspire One, Yuneec’s Typhoon H has carbon fiber retractable landing gear and a 360-degree camera, but instead of only 4 rotors, it boasts six. According to Yuneec, the six rotors contribute to better drone stability and ensure that the aircraft can still land even in the event that one or two motors are lost. Its failsafe feature will ensure that the Typhoon H remains stable and lands even in case of motor damage.
Of course, DJI also features a six-rotor aircraft, however, it is nowhere near the price range of the Typhoon H (with a retail price of $3,400, the S900 may be a distant dream for some drone enthusiasts).
Higher-end models already feature certain safety standards that aren’t normally featured in drones that fit into the price category that the Typhoon H has been announced in. Geofencing, for instance, no-fly zones, dynamic and low-battery return to home are just some of these features.
Perhaps one of the most attractive features of the Typhoon H is its sonar sensor technology, which ensures that the sleek drone doesn’t run into large obstacles. The sensor technology, alongside an additional sensor module located underneath the drone, allows users to fly the Typhoon H indoors even without GPS assistance.
Another great thing about the Typhoon H is the fact that it allows additional components to be installed for an even better experience. Currently, in addition to the proximity sensor it already features, the Typhoon H can also house Intel’s RealSense camera, which can further improve its avoidance capabilities.
Because of the Typhoon H’s modular build, Intel’s RealSense cameras are exceptionally efficient. They can be mounted just above the camera and ensure that this consumer drone surpasses the basic technology that’s already built in. Basically, the Typhoon H can dodge smaller objects too.
While this technology ensures that your precious drone automatically dodges large obstacles it comes across, it also comes with the added bonus of granting the aircraft additional lift, so that you can attach sophisticated camera equipment without having to fear that the drone can’t properly operate.
Here are some other specs you may be interested in:
- Wingspan: 16.1 Inches
- Maximum flight time: 22 minutes
- Maximum video resolution: 4k
- Maximum Operating range: 299 feet
- Still Camera Resolution: 12 MP
- Of Rotors: 6
- Remote Control System
- Body and rotor material: Carbon fiber
- Maximum Ascent Speed: 5m/s
- Maximum Flying Altitude: 400 meters
- Maximum Speed: 10.0 m/s
Yuneec Typhoon H: Strong Features
- The Typhoon H is extremely lightweight and easy to carry. In fact, it can easily fit into a large backpack once the props are taken off and the arms are down (dimensions: 12.1×10.6×10 inches).
- The controller allows users to prepare autonomous flight plans, use waypoints, see important flight details and even follow the user by using the controller as a tracking target.
- The Typhoon H also boasts an impressive suite of autonomous features, including Orbit, Point of Interest, Curved Cable and Journey. Curiously enough, these autonomous features are arguably more refined than the current features that DJI drones currently have.
- When it comes to video quality, the camera on the Typhoon H is capable of shooting 12 MP pictures as well as recording 4K HD video. Its retractable landing gear allows unobstructed photo and video capture.
Yuneec Typhoon H: Downsides
- One downside to the Typhoon H is the fact that it doesn’t allow Bind and Fly controlling (for those unfamiliar with the term, certain drones are compatible with a wide variety of drone controllers so that multiple drones can be operated via the same controller simultaneously). Instead, the Typhoon H features a 7-inch, touch-screen display Android-based ST16 controller that allows the drone user to experience a first person view from the camera.
Yuneec Typhoon H: the Verdict
According to Yu Tian, Yuneec’s CEO, the team’s mission was to design a drone that was capable of offering consumers an unmatched creative opportunity that is financially accessible and high-quality.
In this sense, one of Yuneec’s main goas, Tian continued, was to redefine the prices that consumers should expect to pay for a drone that boasts so many of the professional features that were, not so long ago, inaccessible in this particular price range.
In fact, there is currently no other drone in the same price range that compares to Yuneec’s Typhoon H in terms of value, capability and professional features.
Though Yuneec hasn’t discussed an official release date, the drone is expected to be released within the second quarter of 2016.

Sewage sludge may be used as an agricultural fertilizer, but the practice has been criticized because sludge may contain trace elements and pathogens. The aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness of total and pseudototal extractants of Cu, Fe, Mn, and Zn, and to compare the results with the bioavailable concentrations of these elements to maize and sugarcane in a soil that was amended with sewage sludge for 13 consecutive years and in a separate soil that was amended a single time with sewage sludge and composted sewage sludge. The 13-year amendment experiment involved 3 rates of sludge (5, 10, and 20 t ha-1). The one-time amendment experiment involved treatments reflecting 50, 100, and 200 % of values stipulated by current legislation. The metal concentrations extracted by aqua regia (AR) were more similar to those obtained by Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) 3052 than to those obtained by EPA3051, and the strongest correlation was observed between pseudo(total) concentrations extracted by AR and EPA3052 and bioavailable concentrations obtained by Mehlich III. An effect of sewage sludge amendment on the concentrations of heavy metals was only observed in samples from the 13-year experiment. © 2012 Springer Science+Business Media B.V.

Michelle Obama weighed in on the impeachment process claiming it is not something that Americans should view as “the Democrats versus the Republicans.” She also said that the impeachment hearings were “surreal” and that we owed it to the younger generations to “get it right.” Well, that’s when Americans gave her a big reality check. Don’t miss this.
What does Michelle Obama have to say about impeachment? Truly, most of us couldn’t care less, but the former first lady was trying to stay diplomatic as she granted an interview to Jenna Bush Hager for NBC.
The daughter of former President George W. Bush asked Obama whether the country can come back from the divisive situation unfolding in Washington, D.C., as polls show Americans largely split along party lines on impeachment.
“It’s surreal, I think,” said Obama, speaking from Vietnam, where she is on a trip. “I don’t think people know what to make of it. But do I think we can come back from it? Oh yeah.”
“We’ve seen tough times in this country. You know we’ve gone through depressions and wars and bombings and terrorist attacks, and we’ve gone through Jim Crow, and we’ve always come out stronger. And that’s what we have to continue to believe because what’s our choice? To ball up in a corner and call it a day?” Michelle added.
Michelle then talked about “getting the outcome of the impeachment process right.”
“Well, that’s not fair to this next generation that’s coming before us that are counting on us to get this right,” Michelle said. “It’s not an ‘us or them,’ it’s not an ‘R or a D’ [Republican or Democrat thing].”
Those of us in the “silent majority” would beg to differ. This impeachment process is clearly a Democrats versus Republican thing. In fact, it’s so partisan, and that what makes this impeachment such a farce. The Democrats refuse to follow past impeachment proceedings and changed the rules to make it all one-sided.
Americans also weighed in on social media to give the former first lady a big reality check.
“@MichelleObama Just how surreal is the impeachment. It’s clearly based on conjecture and hate for a man that the PEOPLE voted for. It’s a coup dreamed up by the Dems against the People’s choice on who they voted into office!” tweeted “Kricket.”
“Oh hell no, the ‘division’ will become the great divide! I will never vote for or trust another Democrat for the rest of my life!” tweeted Dorothy Adams.
“Michelle Obama speaks out on impeachment proceedings: ‘It’s surreal’ @TODAY show. What is surreal is U & your man-child hubby, one who couldn’t pay back the student loan until recently, got filthy rich sitting in the oval office doing nothing for the Black community. SHAME,” tweeted John Ronzani.
“Michelle Obama speaks out on impeachment proceedings. She is the one who widely abused taxpayer’s money with her lavish family vacations including mama Robinson who also was lavishly paid for babysitting her adult granddaughters. Shame on you, the family of Robinson-Soetoro,” tweeted “IK.”
“No, Michelle. It should have been Obama’s impeachment who during his 8 years in the WH had done what Dems are accusing Pres Trump of doing, committing an impeachable offense,” tweeted Kayla.
“Amazing: Michael, I mean Michelle, Obama and her grossly incompetent husband did more to sow divisiveness in this country than any other president in modern history. So why in the hell does anybody give a sh*t what she thinks. (Rhetorical, is course),” tweeted Twitter user “Lorenzo.”
“Michelle Obama speaks out on impeachment proceedings. You want to know what is surreal – the fact that your hubby isn’t in jail,” tweeted “Southern Living RN.”
Based on the Democrats’ impeachment process, if Barack Obama was still president the GOP could bring him up on so many charges. The reason the Republicans did not seriously consider impeaching the former president was because of the message it sends.
Impeachment nullifies the past election. It nullifies millions of votes. Our entire Republic is built on free and fair elections and when one party believes it must take this drastic course, there better be some pretty clear crimes.
And even then, it’s not always the best thing to do. The impeachment of Bill Clinton backfired on the GOP. There were clear crimes of lying under oath and obstruction of justice, but in the end, most Americans found it as just a personal case of infidelity.
Of course, Clinton alleged rape victim Juanita Broaddrick was kept under wraps by the mainstream media. The point is impeachment hurts the country and is always a “lose-lose,” and Michelle Obama sounds like an utter fool when she claims the impeachment of Donald Trump is not a “Democrat versus Republican” thing

Ensamble Studio carves out former military sandstone quarry to design Ca'n Terra House in Menorca
Spain Architecture News - Feb 11, 2021 - 13:06 10131 views
Named Ca'n Terra House, the house has been placed within the existing sandstone quarry that was used by the military as ammunition dump during the Spanish Civil War but the formation was later abandoned.
The architects used this industrial logic and existing sandstone quarry to revel its artistic potential, they transformed the place into a raw and sublime cavern carved by hand with its mineral nature as an extract of the stony landscape on the island of Menorca.
The 1,000-square-metre space has not ben designed with a familiar plan layout, the nature of the stone quarry decided the flow of functions.
"Finding this excavated space in the guts of the earth and reinventing its use implies writing a new story that can rescue it from its abandonment," said Ensamble Studio.
"If the history of civilization has evolved transforming ideas into matter, here the process is inverted."
According to the architects, the design of this project is entirely a new discovery to place all living functions in it.
"We enter the space like explorers would do, equipped with the technology that expands our vision in the dark; scanning the solid structure that was built for us," the architects added.
By scanning every point of the structure, the architects tried to direct, interpret and create the space again, completing it with operations that are familiar to the stone mass - they decided to open new cuts to build using air and light.
They carved out three skylights in the darkest corners to get natural light and ventilate the space. They also cleaned all stone surfaces from the mold and dirt accumulated.
According to the studio, introducing a piece of furniture would help to define it as a dwelling. They added translucent curtains in the interiors to delimit areas of intimacy.
"Mechanical systems are integrated in a series of casted slabs that follow the topography of the cave and mixes cement with Mares powder to create a new stone," the studio continued.
"Solar panels, septic tank and water cistern enable its use off the grid."
Apart from the fact that you cannot identify which room is where, the house is completely improvised and gives the feeling of living in a cave.
"Architecture appears and we can inhabit," added the studio.
"In lieu of the imposing action that we often exert on the environment, we propose a trip to the interior being of matter, and recognize the beauty of the spaces that are waiting to be lived."
As the architects highlight, "this is a project that boldly seeks a balance between nature and artifice, between histories and times, between people and the environment."
Ensamble Studio was founded in 2000 and led by architects Antón García-Abril and Débora Mesa. Balancing imagination and reality, art and science, their work innovates typologies, technologies and methodologies to address issues as diverse as the construction of the landscape or the prefabrication of the house.
The studio recently opened a new research and fabrication facility in Madrid.

Ok, we’re going to be honest. Before we started looking into our latest Greek island ferry route we had never heard of Astypalea! However, over the years we’ve found that some of the best places in Greece are the lesser-known islands. After just one full day, it was clear that it once again would ring true in Astypalea Greece! Here’s our full guide with some of the best things to do on Astypalea island, as we share our own experiences at the castle and more.
Why Only One Day in Astypalea Greece?
So you might be wondering why we only spent one day in Astypalea Greece! Well, after the month of May in the Cyclades we decided to go over to the Dodecanese Island chain.
There are a few different routes you can use to get between the two beautiful island groupings. Since our end destination was Kos, Astypalea was actually on the way. So after doing some quick research it was an easy choice. We were going to Astypalea Greece!
The only problem was that with our schedule we would only have two nights and one full day to see the island. Knowing that we would not be able to experience all of it was disappointing. However, we figured it was more than worth the stop… And oh we’re we right!
First Impression of Astypalea Island
As our ferry pulled into the small port we were completely awestruck. The Atypelea Castle towered high over the whitewashed buildings which were stacked into the hillside. A few cafes and restaurants overlooked a pebble beach and the sparkling sea made us want to jump right in!
Due to the fact that we had a late afternoon ferry, we picked a hotel that was right in Astypalea Town. Now normally we don’t like staying in the port of any island. Yet, this was such a great location with us only having one day.
Where to Stay in Astypalea Greece
One thing that we noticed is that almost all the hotels on the island have extremely high ratings. We loved the unique design of our room and the small balcony that looked out over the harbor.
Considering we booked the night before (because we were traveling in off-season) we thought it was the perfect spot. We dropped our bags and had dinner as the sun set over the harbor and shared a craft of cold white wine.
At once we got the feeling that this was the type of island where you could really slow down and enjoy the island life. We couldn’t wait to wake up in the morning and start exploring Astypalea Greece!
Astypalea Town Accommodations
Xenios Zeus Apartments: Just steps from the port and beautiful town beach. We stayed here and enjoyed the views of the harbor.
Ihthioessa Boutique Hotel: Great location across the bay from the Astypalea Castle. Modern rooms with balcony sea views.
Aphrodite Studios: Apartment-style accommodations just minutes walking from the Chora. Host offers free transfer service from ferries and Astypalea Island Airport
Ancient Castle Above Astypalea Greece
The first thing we wanted to do was hike up to the castle above Astypalea. It is not only the iconic symbol atop the town but it tells part of the story of the island.
It was built out of necessity by the Venetians in 1413. At this time pirates ran the seas and attacks in the islands were constant and unrelenting. From the 16th to 19th centuries the Astypalea was part of the Ottoman Empire. Yet, they would still have to fight off pirates and work with them to survive during these years.
What separates the Astypalea Castle from others in the Mediterranean is that it wasn’t purely a military structure. Private residences surround the outside of the fortress forming a unique neighborhood. If you can believe it, people still live in houses around the Astypalea Castle today!
Hike to the Astypalea Castle
The hike takes about 20 minutes from the port. One of the coolest parts about it is that unlike other incredible historic monuments, there is no entrance fee. You are free to explore this incredible castle as you wish!
From town, you can take the steps and main road up from the water. There is also a dirt road that zig-zags its way up under the castle. When you are down at the beach in town you can easily both ways to the top. We took the dirt road up and then returned through the maze of streets in the main town area.
More Amazing Things to do on Astypalea
After exploring the 15th century castle we walked down to the other side of the settlement. Once again we had stunning views of Astypalea Greece from here!
The first thing that sticks out is the red-topped windmills. These were as beautiful as any we’ve seen in the Greek Islands and we spent a good while admiring them.
Beyond that is a beautiful beach, and many cafes and restaurants on the way. It was then that we realized there are so many fun things to do on Astypalea! Although we didn’t get to experience all of these, here are a few activities to check out on your own visit.
Astypalea Beach Towns
Pera Gialos: The gorgeous beach in the main port of Astypalea. Here you’ll find many restaurants, hotels, and a great local bakery. As we’ve mentioned, this is a great place to base yourself to see the rest of the island.
Livadi: Just around the corner from Pera Gialos is the stunning bay of Livadi. There are also a handful of hotels here and traditional tavernas, as well as an organized beach.
Analipsi: Also known as Maltezana, this quiet beach town is a laid-back area to relax on Astypalea Island. Further inland you’ll find local orchards and vineyards.

History and Astypalea Ancient Ruins
Astypalea Churches: There are several important churches and chapels scattered around Astypalea Greece. The first you should see is Panagia Portaitissa directly under the Astypalea Castle. It began construction in 1762 and is the most important spot for worship on the island. Below are a few other churches and monasteries worth seeing!
- Church of Megali Panagia
- Monastery of Panagia Flevariotissa
- Agios Dimitrios Chapel
- Chapel of the Ascension
- Monastery of Agios Ioannis
Castle of Agios Ioannis: We told you about the main castle on Astypalea and there is another famous area to see. Just across from the Agios Ionnas Monastery are the ruins of a sacred Astypalea landmark. The actual date it was built is unknown, but historians think sometime before the Venetians arrived in the 13th century.
Archeology Museum: I’m sure by now you understand the history of Astypalea is absolutely incredible! There are numerous archeological sites around the island including ruins of a Minoan settlement from 3,000 BC. If you’d like to see more artifacts in a museum setting visit the Astypalea Archeological Museum. The collections go from pre-historic findings through the Roman era, and to the Venetians who inhabited it later on.
Local Astypalea Greece Food Specialties
The local food is so delicious in Astypalea Greece! There are a number of good restaurants right in the main port as well as a local bakery that is a must-visit in the morning. When you get off the ferry heading into town, it’s straight up the stairs on the left.
There are several things that are unique to Astypalea that you shouldn’t leave without trying. Saffron is grown and harvested on the island which is extremely unique and has a massive influence on the cooking.
Stop into the bakery and get a bag of yellow cookies. They aren’t sweet but actually have a little kick from the saffron and other spices.
Honey, olive oil, and thyme also have a large influence on the cooking here. Make sure to try the ravioli stuffed with local soft cheese and also the famous lobster spaghetti which Astypalea Greece is known for!

text: L-Cysteine: Cysteine is a major biological source of sulfur and is one of the two common sulfur-containing amino acids. The biosynthesis of cysteine occurs through the initial condensation of homocysteine and serine via cystathionine synthase to form cystathionine, which in turn undergoes cleavage by cystathionase to give cysteine and a-ketobutyrate. Cysteine can readily dimerize to form cystine via the oxidation of the thiol side chain residues to give a disulfide covalent bond. The formation of such cystine links between cysteine residues in proteins is an important part of the stabilization of the three-dimensional structure of proteins. An investigation into cysteine and cystine levels in normal and malignant cells with a relationship to g-cystathionase levels and tumor sensitivity to L-cysteine and cystine depletion has been reported. The toxicity of human neuronal cell lines to cysteine and its metabolites has been investigated. Cysteine can inhibit the activity of enzymes such as lecithincholesterolacyltransferase. A protocol for the use of cysteine in pulse-chase experiments to study protein expression from an inducible promoter has been reported.


Gov. Bill Haslam said Tuesday it was too early for him to say what the ramifications of Attorney General Robert Cooper’s latest opinion related to Amazon.com might mean for the state.
Cooper issued an opinion dated Oct. 3 that said, as a general rule, the state cannot waive a taxpayer’s obligation to collect sales taxes and that the fact sales are made electronically does not change a retailer’s liability for collecting and remitting the tax.
But the opinion also states that the Commissioner of Revenue has “substantial discretion” in determining the best measures to enforce the state’s tax laws.
Haslam told reporters Tuesday after making a speech in Nashville that he had just heard about the opinion and had little to comment on, but he said it is possible it could mean there might have to be legislative action regarding a state agreement with Amazon.
“That could be one of the outcomes, that we’d have to have some legislation passed to set up whatever the new arrangement ends up being,” Haslam said.
The Haslam administration has been involved in talks with Amazon for a long-term understanding of where Amazon stands on having to collect the state’s sales tax. The administration of Gov. Phil Bredesen agreed to allow Amazon to build two distribution centers in the state without collecting sales taxes, in exchange for their bringing hundreds of jobs to the state.
Haslam said any long-term agreement his administration were to make with Amazon would include as part of the deal that the state can publicly say what is in the agreement.
“It has become such a big deal, I think it’s important that when we do come to an agreement we be able to talk about it,” Haslam said. “So that would be part of the agreement we make with Amazon.”
Commissioner of Revenue Richard Roberts has said he cannot publicly discuss any arrangement with Amazon — or even if a deal exists with Amazon — because of privacy elements of the law.
Haslam’s comments Tuesday indicate that the public interest would be so high that his administration would feel compelled to make it part of the deal that the agreement be public. Lack of transparency has been one of the primary points of contention about the Bredesen deal with the Internet retail company.
Haslam did not address Amazon in his speech to the First Tuesday lunch group of Republicans. But he covered several other issues, including the fact he believes the outcome of the state’s request for a waiver from the federal government on the No Child Left Behind law will probably not be known until late November or early December.
He was asked why it would take so long for a decision.
“I actually don’t know the answer to that. I was initially hopeful, quite frankly, when we went up there, we’d hear an answer by late October, early November,” Haslam told reporters after his speech. “I understand now it’s about 30 days past that. I don’t really know that. I wish I did.”
Haslam also addressed the affirmation of the state’s bond ratings. After a recent trip by state officials to New York to state Tennessee’s case for strong fiscal management, the major rating agencies announced this week that Tennessee maintains its current ratings.
The state keeps its AAA rating from Moody’s Investor Service and Fitch, and it retains its AA+ rating from Standard & Poor’s. Standard & Poor’s gave the state a positive outlook, but Moody’s put the state on “negative outlook,” which is believed to be tied to concerns about the effect on states by the overall national economy.
The attorney general’s opinion that could affect Amazon appears to say that a retailer cannot dodge tax collection simply because its transactions are online.
In the analysis of the issue, the attorney general says:
“In cases where nexus (physical presence) does exist, the retailer is liable for collecting and remitting Tennessee sales taxes regardless of the method by which the retailer accepts orders for goods sold to Tennessee customers. If the retailer’s in-state activities are sufficient to establish nexus, the fact that orders are placed by electronic means, such as by telephone or the Internet, does not affect the retailer’s state sales tax obligations.”
The opinion says if a distribution house is owned by a retailer’s subsidiary that nexus exists only if the subsidiary’s activity is “significantly associated” with maintaining a market in the state.
The attorney general’s analysis further states:
“We refer you to recent Attorney General Opinion No. 11-55, in which this Office stated that, where legislation unambiguously imposes state sales tax obligations relative to specific transactions, the State of Tennessee cannot contractually waive a taxpayer’s obligation to pay the tax. … In reiterating this principle, however … we note the Commissioner of Revenue must necessarily possess considerable discretion in determining the appropriate measures to take to administer and enforce Tennessee’s tax laws.”
“…The Commissioner’s exercise of discretion is particularly appropriate when the enforcement of a tax may be debatable and must be balanced and coordinated with the Commissioner’s other duties and priorities in administering all of the taxes entrusted to him.”

The Mamata Banerjee government in West Bengal has offered the Tatas 1,000 acres of land in Goaltore in West Midnapore and a month to "think a little" about building an automobile plant there, The Telegraph reported.
The proposal was ironic on several counts.
The announcement was made on a day, earmarked as Singur Divas, to celebrate the return of nearly the same amount of land that had been acquired by the earlier Left Front government from farmers in Singur ten years ago.
In fact, it was made from a spot very close to the abandoned small-car factory in Singur, from where Mamata Banerjee and her party, Trinamool Congress (TMC), had asked Tata Motors to leave West Bengal in 2008 and set up operations in other states.
"I am saying this here today. I give you one month. Think a little. In a month's time, I will give you 1,000 acres of land. In Goaltore, we have such land in the land bank. Would you do it? It is our land, the government's, not snatched away forcibly from the people," Banerjee said.
After it came to power in 2011, the TMC-led government had passed a legislation to reclaim the land in Singur from Tata Motors, forcing them to leave the state.
Although Tata Motors moved to Sanad, in Gujarat, with their planned small-car factory, it challenged the law in Calcutta High Court, which ruled it unconstitutional. At this stage, the case was escalated to the Supreme Court, which said last month, in a landmark verdict, that the acquisition of agricultural land for the purpose of industry did not qualify as "public purpose".
The ruling was seen as a moral victory for Banerjee, who had made Singur one of the key causes in her campaign to the oust the Left Front's stronghold over West Bengal for over three decades. The apex court not only asked for the land to be returned to the farmers but also exempted those who had already been compensated from returning the money as they had been deprived of a livelihood for the last ten years.
While the court ruling has left landowners joyous, casual labourers who till the land were apprehensive about their futures. Of the 150,000 people who had assembled to hear Banerjee's speech, a vast number was ordinary tillers, who had been promised jobs when the land was acquired by the Left Front but had got nothing so far. Many of them voiced their discontent, The Times of India said.
Since Banerjee's coming to power in 2011, a dole of Rs 2,000 per month is being paid to each labourer who worked in the land acquired for the site as well as to the families of the unwilling farmers, TOI added. At the meeting, Banerjee announced that it would continue to be paid to them until the land is made suitable for farming again. She also announced that landowners would be given a one-time grant of Rs 10,000 each to buy farming equipment and an easy loan facility from the West Bengal Agro Industries Corporation.
But the larger question of whether the land will be tilled again at all continues to haunt those affected.
Banerjee's latest offer to the Tatas comes in the wake of her efforts to bring more industry to West Bengal. She visited Germany, earlier this month, to court investors, including the German automobile manufacturer, BMW. Speaking at the event in Singur, Banerjee said, "We want more IT industry. We want manufacturing industry. We want employment-oriented industries, like textiles, agro, coal-methane, to come up."
Industrialists, however, were not thrilled by the chief minister's jubilation over the apex court's verdict on Singur. A government-sponsored event to celebrate the victory of Tata Motors is unlikely to send out a positive message to prospective investors in the state, some felt.
It remains to be seen how the Tatas will react to Banerjee's offer of friendship after being treated like a sworn enemy.

Ours is a world over run with technology. On the train, or with friends around a dinner table, even in a nightclub, everyone is either interacting with their phone or tablet or very close to it. Spike Lee’s ‘Her’ takes this modern day phenomenon and pushes it to a new extreme.
Joaquin Phoenix is Theodore, a lonely writer from a near future LA, he writes love letters for people who don’t have the time to do it themselves. With no social life and a pending divorce from Catherine (played by Rooney Mara) he acquires a new operating system called Samantha.
Samantha (voiced by the ever sultry Scarlett Johansson) is not just downloaded in fact she is given to him via a personality quiz, soon she goes from sending his emails to being a confidante. As a viewer we soon forget that Johansson is not in the room acting alongside Phoenix, (not an easy role to play) Phoenix engages with the electronic device and gradually begins to fall in love.
Spike’s quirky style is an acquired taste, but if you’re a fan of his previous work (especially Being John Malkovich and Adaptation), you’ should appreciate the nuances of ‘Her’. For a mainstream audience seeking popcorn explosions the subtleties may be lost and Phoenix does spend a bit too much time staring out of the window onto the (albeit beautiful) utopian Los Angeles skyline.
Rooney Mara is underused, and the ever fantastic Amy Adams is nothing but a divorcing friend with a funny wig on. Meanwhile Chris Pratt is stereotyped as the buffoonish boss. All the sub plots feel forgettable and perhaps secondary thoughts to the main premise. There is a scene where Theodore walks through a busy city and everyone is alone but in busy conversation with their electronic devices, the frightening truth is that this is one step away from our current society. As much as it’s a funny romantic drama it’s also an Orwell style dystopian sci-fi.
Technology has become intrinsic to our relationships with others, at the same time it’s also slowly detaching us from actual reality. What ‘Her’ is really doing, is not talking about loneliness or our need for some social interaction, but asking us to look at what a ‘real’ relationship is in our society. In that way ‘Her is a genuine success.
Her is released on Feb 14th in the UK

Met Police officer David Carrick admits to being serial rapist
A Metropolitan Police armed officer who used his role to put fear into his victims has admitted dozens of rape and s.e.xual offences against 12 women. David Carrick, 48, who met some victims through dating websites, pleaded guilty to 49 offences across two decades.
The Met has apologised after it emerged he had come to the attention of police over nine incidents, including rape allegations, between 2000 and 2021. A senior officer said his offending was “unprecedented in policing”.
Assistant Commissioner Barbara Gray, the Met’s lead for professionalism, said: “We should have spotted his pattern of abusive behaviour and because we didn’t, we missed opportunities to remove him from the organisation.
“We are truly sorry that being able to continue to use his role as a police officer may have prolonged the suffering of his victims.
“We know they felt unable to come forward sooner because he told them they would not be believed.”
Carrick, who admitted 24 counts of rape, was suspended from duty when he was arrested in October 2021. His offences spanned 2003 to 2020 and most took place in Hertfordshire, where he lived.
Carrick, from Stevenage, would control what the women wore, what they ate, where they slept and even stopped some of the women from speaking to their own children.
He was finally stopped when one woman did decide to report him. In October 2021, following publicity about disgraced Metropolitan Police officer PC Wayne Couzens, she contacted police.
Jaswant Narwal, chief crown prosecutor for the Crown Prosecution Service, said: “Carrick held a role where he was trusted with the responsibility of protecting the public, but yet over 17 years, in his private life, he did the exact opposite.
“This is a man who relentlessly degraded, belittled and s.e.xually assaulted and raped women. As time went on, the severity of his offending intensified as he became emboldened, thinking he would get away with it.

In late June, at the Army-2019 weapons show outside Moscow, the machine-building corporation Uralvagonzavod unveiled its latest development, the 57-mm AU-220M artillery gun – a first-of-its-kind versatile weapon for “land, water, and sky.”
“To date, JSC Central Scientific Research Institute Burevestnik has laid the scientific and technical groundwork to create, in the interests of Russia’s land, air, aerospace, and naval forces, an interspecific 57-mm armament system on the basis of a unified combat module on a multipurpose land chassis, as well as on aircraft and ships,” stated Georgy Zakamennykh, general director of Burevestnik (part of Uralvagonzavod), the developer of the weapon.
The system is the intellectual heir of the ZSU 57-2 self-propelled anti-aircraft gun of the 1950s (nicknamed the “infernal thresher”). That weapon achieved a then unimaginable rate of artillery shell fire of 80 rounds per minute.
In turn, the new version of the gun produces up to 120 volleys per minute. It has an extended strike radius of up to 9 km for aerial
On top of that, the combat module exists in two versions: heavy (weighing 5,000 kg) for heavy tracked vehicle platforms and ships, and light for BMP-3 infantry fighting vehicles or BRM-3K Lynx combat reconnaissance vehicles.
At the same time, it does not matter where the system is located; it can destroy even well-protected facilities or enemy manpower entrenched inside a fortification.
Its arsenal ranges from traditional fragmentation and
The installation can operate at any time of day and in any weather. The artillery gun, moreover, does not interfere at all with the optical and electronic countermeasure systems – the unit both receives the target designation from the central command

WASHINGTON -- The U.S. Senate on Thursday was close to wrapping up its markup of the sprawling bipartisan overhaul to No Child Left Behind that, from most accounts, has inclusions that make both Democrats and Republicans uncomfortable.
Democratic Sen. Al Franken has been in the room all week trying to find accord with Republicans and said on Thursday the measure worried him in some key areas because he wants to keep robust accountability in place.
"I want a bipartisan solution ... and I'm hopeful that we can find common ground to improve the bill when it comes before the full Senate," he said in a statement.
Among amendments included that were authored by Franken:
-Mental Health In Schools: Allows schools to partner with community organizations to expand access to mental health services for students.
-Principal Training and Recruitment: Improves the preparation, placement and retention of effective principals.
-Accelerated Learning: Seeks to raise student academic achievement and save students and families cash through acclerated learning programs.
-STEM Education: Includes targeted funding for Science Technology Engineering and Math instruction and teacher development.
On the House side, Republican Rep. John Kline's bill to remake No Child Left Behind is stalled out because it didn't have enough support among Republicans. He said this week he is working on educating members and hopes for a vote soon.

Great Crested Grebe
It's funny how things can change in the course of a day. Weather has gone from gales and rain to clear and cold with beautiful clear blue skies. We set out today to try and locate the Crossbill but only managed a few Siskin and a Chiffchaff in Tilery wood. A quick visit to Hartlepool Headland drew a blank so we moved down to Teesmouth again. Here we got some close views of the Avocet at the Saline pool and managed our first Wheatear at the Reclaimation pond. Headed off home after about 9hrs birdwatching and managed to catch the Barn Owl as it was coming out of its tree.

text: This essay illuminates the function of Domingo in Emily Dickinson’s work by examining a far-reaching set of debates about food, race, and poetics in the nineteenth century. By pairing her writings with freewoman Malinda Russell’s recently recovered _A Domestic Cook Book_ (1866), this culinary approach shows how Dickinson’s “taste” of race shiftd after the Civil War: from a bittersweet aftertaste of the Haitian Revolution to an intensely sweet expeirment in aesthetic freedom. The essay ends by connecting the emergence of culinary science to Dickinson’s initial reception. Whereas her poetics racialize taste, early readers used taste to racialize Dickinson’s poetics. Reading Emily Dickinson in, with, and through Domingo reconstitutes sensory tatse and aesthetic taste as a synthesis of racial, gustatory, and literary encounters.

DJ Jackmaster and DJ Oneman: Can U Dance
on 13 July 2014
DJs Jackmaster and Oneman are challenging gig-goers around Europe this summer with what is clearly a rhetorically named performance, "Can U Dance." As their four-deck set-up at Glastonbury (which was recorded exclusively by BBC Radio 1) proved, these two are serious about mixing up some serious old-school grooves with an electronic twist. Their spin on jams from the likes of INXS, Prince, The Streets, Gorillaz and more are guaranteed to get people off their phones and fully immersed in a mega dance party. Catch them live at festivals this summer, including our favorite, Croatia's Dimensions Festival.

Mineral Nutrient Value
Title: Mineral Nutrient Value
Broadcast: April 21st 2018
Presenter: Trevor Cochrane
We’ve learnt so much about horticulture in recent years that goes against the learnings of the 50’s, 60’s and 70’s when we thought it was all about applying minerals… yes, minerals are vitally important but a healthy soil, and healthy feeder roots is critically important!
- There’s no better example of a product that works but has no mineral nutrient value than Seasol. Seasol is made through a brew using kelp, giant bull kelp being the main base collected from the shores of King Island in Bass Strait.
- Seasol does something to the soil that nothing else seems to, it boosts soil microbial health activating all the beneficial biota, and at the same time the plant hormones its rich in stimulate the fine roots to connect with the mycorrhiza that convert minerals.
- Effectively Seasol brings your soil to life, making it healthy again.
- In most cases people see immediate effect after applying Seasol and this is because the soils microbes start converting locked up mineral nutrients into soluble fertilizer the plant can use, often the goodness is there already but there’s just not enough beneficial microbial life activity.
- Now Seasol is not a fertilizer, it’s a health tonic for your soil and your plants so you do need to feed but if you use organic or natural nutrients the soil is alive and it will gobble them up.
- The other thing many people know is that the plant hormones in Seasol also help plants better tolerate extremes like drought stress and frost and heat extremes, so a bottle kept handy in the shed is the gardeners cheat to solving problems with both the garden and your lawn.

lines written in Oregon
Esmeralda! now we rest
Here, in the bewitched and blest
Mountain forests of the West.
Here the very air is stranger.
Damzel, anchoret, and ranger
Share the woodland’s dream and danger
And to think I deemed you dead!
(In a dungeon, it was said;
Tortured, strangled); but instead –
Blue birds from the bluest fable,
Bear and hare in coats of sable,
Peacock moth on picnic table.
Huddled roadsigns softly speak
Of Lake Merlin, Castle Creek,
And (obliterated) Peak.
Do you recognize that clover?
Dandelions, l’or du pauvre?
(Europe, nonetheless, is over).
Up the turk, along the burn
Latin lilies climb and turn
Into Gothic fir and fern.
Cornfields have befouled the prairies
But these canyons laugh! And there is
Still the forest with its fairies.
And I rest where I awoke
In the sea shade – l’ombre glauque –
Of a legendary oak;
Where the woods get ever dimmer,
Where the Phantom Orchids glimmer –
Esmeralda, immer, immer.
- All in copyright; if its owners insist,
I will very sadly cease and desist. [↩]

SPRING HILL — With an undefeated record in Hernando County play and a season sweep of Nature Coast on the line, Springstead was primed for its first match after the holiday break Wednesday night.
Playing in front of the home crowd at Booster Stadium, the Eagles walked away with a thrilling 3-2 victory thanks to the first career hat trick from Harry Bennett.
The triumph gave Springstead (10-3-1) its fifth consecutive season with double-digit wins and the first such campaign under first-year coach Warren Schmidt. The Eagles are 5-0 in county play.
“We capitalized on a few of our opportunities,” Schmidt said, “but we didn’t play as well as we played the first time (against Nature Coast).”
Last month, the Eagles shut out the Sharks (7-7-4) at the Shark Tank 3-0, but despite heading to the locker room up 1-0 Wednesday, Springstead had to work a little harder this time.
“We took a few more chances offensively and were a little more aggressive,” Nature Coast coach Ian Wald said. “It hurt us a couple of times, but it gave us some opportunities, too.”
Those chances netted the Sharks two goals in less than a minute in the second half to tie the match at 2.
First, a yellow card delivered to Springstead defender Jubin Thomas gave Cody Van Natter a penalty kick, the second such chance for Nature Coast. Although Eagles keeper Matt McDuff (seven saves) made a diving stop on the first attempt in the first half, he wasn’t able to do the same this time as Van Natter scored his fourth goal of the season.
After the reset, a long pass by Austin Lacy hit sophomore forward Alec Perkins for his second goal of the year.
In the end, it all went back to the offensive star of the game wearing the all-white uniform of the home team. Bennett, who came in with eight goals, scored on a breakaway 13 minutes in. The junior forward then opened the second half scoring on a give-and-go with Derek Mikisits.
The winner capped things off when Tyler Arcidiacono centered a pass to Bennett with 12 minutes remaining in regulation.
“It was a bit shaky for a while, but we stayed close as a team and got it together,” Bennett said.
