Expressing serious concern over the continued lockdown, suspension of all communication means and media blackout in the Muslim-majority region, the European Parliament strongly criticised India and condemned the Modi-led government for its brutal action that has brought life to standstill in the valley.

Raising their voice for the oppressed Kashmiris, the Members also demanded India to begin dialogue with Pakistan, adding that the European Union (EU) and the European Parliament should issue a reactionary statement on the situation in occupied Kashmir as soon as possible. On Sunday, Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi said that the Europe should play its role in solving the Kashmir issue. “The European Parliament is expected to deliberate on the Modi government's illegal actions in the IHK and raise voice against the human rights violations in the disputed territory, he added. The EU meeting took place despite Indian efforts to get it canceled. Indian External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar visited Brussels on Saturday and met with High Representative of the EU for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, Federica Mogherini.
According to reports, the Indian minister tried to scuttle efforts to raise the issue of Kashmir in the European Parliament but failed.


Home buyer sentiment is improving but the long-term impediments to improving the housing supply remain.
On Tuesday, Urban Development Institute of Australia president
They were introduced by AFR columnist David Bassanese, who noted the recovery in house prices but stressed that the big challenge in housing was regional and urban planning.
However, Mr Keir said that sentiment improved in his markets when the Reserve Bank held rates.
Consumers were waiting not for cheaper rates but signs that the economy was improving.
“We feel there are green shoots. People do not feel house prices will collapse 40 per cent," he said.
He said it would be volumes, not prices, that would improve.
Mr Williams acknowledged that Melbourne would have to digest the completion of a lot of inner-city apartments in the next two years. Vacancies would rise and rents fall before the market reset itself.
But he said the market for new lots in the growth corridors on the fringe of the city had “tightened in the last couple of months", and that indicated the lending to developers had still not improved. “A lot of financiers still struggle with land," he said.
Ms Katz said housing supply would continue to lag because “we cannot fund the infrastructure and planning approvals are taking way too long".
She noted a few councils did not even want one-bedroom apartments.
“Council cannot come to grips with the change in households," she said.
Devine designed terrace houses and “fonzie" homes for its Playford Mews project in Adelaide – and then had to negotiate for more than two years to have them approved.
“We were questioned about how people would live in a terrace," Mr Keir said. “People have been living in terraces for 200 years."
Devine is now working on apartments that can be lived in, owned and paid off, separately, by two couples.

I had a long talk with my mom this morning on the topic of eating lamb on Easter. This is a long-standing tradition in my religion, yet it is one that my family has hardly ever followed. I remember when I was little my mom would scramble to put meat on the Easter dinner table. Back then, meat was elusive, and any kind of meat was much appreciated. Usually my dad would use his “connections” to get us a chicken, which my mom would skillfully butcher to make a variety of dishes: chicken soup, baked chicken, even chicken aspic.
As a child growing up in the countryside, my mom would eat lamb on Easter every year. Things changed, however, as soon as she moved to the city: her family departed from this tradition, and lamb was used less and less in their cooking. I know for certain that my dad didn’t like lamb. As for me, I remember trying a lamb shank once as a child, and not being particularly impressed with its taste.
Lamb is very popular in the UK, and as soon as we moved there I wanted to learn to cook it properly. I made lamb twice and tried my hardest to like it. On my second try, I felt very ill – so ill that I decided to give up lamb completely, a decision that my husband happily agreed to. (His family are not big lamb eaters either) I tried lamb again recently and loved it. I have yet to conquer my fears completely though, so for now, I have decided to “play it safe” with our Easter Sunday meal: I am making chicken stuffed with ciliegini and peppers and wrapped in prosciutto, with fresh green beans.
Initially I wanted to use boneless chicken breast, but the prices were high at the grocery store. In the end I bought boneless chicken thighs, which were cheaper. I think this was a good decision because the relatively small thighs proved to be more manageable than the big chicken breasts, which made the preparation of this dish easy and hurdle-free.
4 boneless chicken thighs
4 thin slices of prosciutto
3 small sweet peppers, of various colors if possible
1 handful fresh parsley
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
Salt and pepper (to taste)
Preheat the oven to 350F.
Slice the peppers lengthwise into strips.
Use a meat tenderizer to pound the chicken thighs to about 1/2-inch thickness. Season with salt and pepper.
Put two ciliegini and a few pepper slices on top of each thigh.
One by one, carefully roll the chicken thighs and wrap a slice of prosciutto around each. Use toothpicks to secure the rolls, and place them in a baking dish. Spread the remaining pepper slices in-between the chicken rolls. Add one cup of water and the olive oil – the chicken will need moisture to cook uniformly and not burn.
Put the chicken in the preheated oven and cook for 45 minutes or until the juices run clear, adding extra water from time to time if necessary.
While the chicken is cooking, you can start working on the green beans. I thought a fattier ham would give the beans more flavor, so I used pressed bacon. I also thought the fat from the bacon would be enough to cook the beans, but it was not. I added 1/4 stick of butter to prevent the beans and the bacon from burning.
1 lb green beans
1/4 lb pressed bacon (approximately 3 slices)
1/4 stick butter (added later)
Salt and pepper (to taste)
Wash the beans and remove the ends. Fill a pot with water and add a pinch of salt. Bring to simmer. Add the beans and let them simmer over a medium heat for 10 minutes. Drain the beans in a colander.
Cut the bacon into 1-inch pieces and put them in a pan with the butter. Melt the butter over a medium heat, stirring frequently.
Add the drained beans to the pan and stir well to combine the ingredients. Cook for a couple more minutes over a medium heat.
Take the chicken out of the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. The chicken should have a golden-brown color and its juices should run clear.
Serve two pieces of chicken per guest, with green beans on the side and chopped parsley sprinkled on top.
This is a dish that my family enjoys eating because it is tasty and satisfying. The inclusion of the prosciutto adds a touch of assertiveness to the chicken, while the pressed bacon gives the beans a fuller flavor without obliterating their natural lightness. Plus, I am a big fan of small sweet peppers, and I think their presence in this dish is just fantastic!
This is what we are going to eat on Easter Sunday. Maybe one day I’ll conquer my fear of lamb. Until then, our Easter menu is dominated by chicken – tasty yet humble, delicate yet almighty flavorful.

A View From The Bridge
“Someone I admire”- Graham Potter hints at olive branch for out-of favour Chelsea loanee
Graham Potter hints at a loan recall for Romelu Lukaku at Chelsea
According to the Evening Standard, Chelsea manager Graham Potter has hinted at a potential return for Chelsea star Romelu Lukaku next summer.
The Belgian ace is currently on loan at Inter Milan following an inconsistent second debut season at Stamford Bridge in 2021-22. The 29-year-old was the reigning Serie A MVP when he arrived at Chelsea but failed to hit the same heights in Blue.
He was allowed to return to Inter on loan last summer, months before Graham Potter succeeded Thomas Tuchel in the Blues’ hotseat. The Englishman has had no chance yet to work with the Belgian striker.
Potter believes Chelsea have a decision to make on Lukaku’s future in the upcoming summer transfer window. For now, he remains keen for the 29-year-old to see out his stint at the Giuseppe Meazza.
“He is on loan and an Inter Milan player. I think it is important he finishes that off. Then we have a decision to make in the summer.”
Perhaps tellingly, he goes on to add that Lukaku is a player who has earned his admiration. The Belgian is certainly a formidable player in the right system and displayed in Inter Milan’s Scudetto-winning 2020-21 season.
“He is someone I admire a lot, I like a lot but again it is something to think about over the summer.”
It is no secret that Chelsea need a striker next summer. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang appears to be on his way out and Kai Havertz is far from prolific. Lukaku has the ability to be a regular goal-getter in the right system.
Whether Potter will be keen to reintegrate the Belgian into the squad remains to be seen. Ultimately it could all come down to whether Chelsea can bring in their preferred targets in the summer.

Lukaku appears to have rediscovered his scoring boots for Belgium during the international break. Hopefully, it will see him go on to finish strongly with Inter Milan, perhaps even convincing Chelsea that his time in London might not have set just yet.

Outside the border of the Savage Woods stood a small gathering of men in black. The shadow of a dragon swept over them, and landed. Dismounting Momo, Gwendolen and Gehenna met once again with Reno.
Reno explained everything, as was his custom. The Jerks had not kidnapped Gwen’s sister – they had taken her to keep her out of Siegg’s hands, being aware that the Acampemy would raid Ruhenheim for servants, and find her. Now, however, something had gone wrong. The Secret Turks were not responding, and it seemed some misfortune had befallen them. Two Turk agents named Ralph and Sophie were preparing to investigate, so the heroes joined them, venturing into the woods to find the lair of the Secret Turks.
It had been abandoned. Seemingly it had been very suddenly attacked, and not a soul was left alive – but neither were there any bodies. Gwen suspected monkeys were behind it, but when they discovered tunnels leading into the camp, she concluded it must be mole-monkeys, or molonkeys. She told everyone dread tales about the dangerous molonkeys that lurk underground, but only Sophie believed her. She was scared witless.
They descended through the tunnels, into the darkness. Soon, they picked up undeniable clues that this had been the work of Wraiths. The tunnels split into two directions, and the team stopped to argue which route was best to pursue – but Gwen picked up the scent of her mother, and left without a word in one direction. Gehenna, however, sensed that the real threat lay further down, and so he led the group through those tunnels, into the lair of the Wraith.
Gwen found a cage holding the Wraiths’ victims. Most of them were Turks, but she recognized an older woman held in their midst, and attacked the guards with relentless fury. Within moments, the Wraith were dead, defeated by Gwen and Ryana, who had followed her. They freed the Turks and her mother, who were all very weak from having been drained of life by the Wraith.
Gwen spoke to her mother, and learned about her sister’s name – Bathilda – and that she had been taken to a room downstairs for some kind of ceremony. She introduced her mother to Ryana, and they had a short but heartfelt conversation, before the heroes departed to rescue Bathilda. The Turks promised to look after Gwen’s mother, in the meanwhile.
Down below, the Wraith were conducting a ceremony to drain Bathilda not only of her life, but also of her power. It was presided over by the first female Wraith they had ever seen, a Queen in a long gown, seated on a throne. Within moments, the ceremony was interrupted, mainly because five of the celebrants were suddenly set on fire.
Jessica, Leesa, and Sophie stormed in, while Gehenna hovered above the mayhem, directly challenging the Queen. She possessed great psychic powers, and tried to use them to invade his mind – but Gehenna’s defenses were much too strong. Tempered in fire, hardened by magma, perfected in his own inner inferno, his mind was an inviolable palace, and he slowly pushed back against the Queen, reaching out with his powers to set her aflame. The Queen, in response, howled to summon more of the wraith, and also unleashed a caged giant gorilla. Upon seeing it, Sophie was filled with dread – was it the fearsome Molonkey?
Just then, Ryana, Gwen, and Ralph arrived. They flew into the melee, just as the giant ape unleashed its terrible powers. Spinning like a top and striking everything in range, it accidentally knocked out several Wraith leaders, but also struck Jessica and Sophie so hard, that they were thrown off their feet and rendered unconscious. Gwen avoided the attack, however barely, and delivered an uppercut to the ape that left it reeling.
As Gehenna overpowered the Queen, Gwen threw Jessica’s sword through the ape’s chest, killing it gruesomely. The Wraith Queen, with her dying words, said that many more of her kind would come crawling from the depths of the Earth, for they were an old race, much older than anyone had thought. For now, however, the Wraith fell dormant, powerless without a Queen or leader to command them.
The heroes freed Bathilda, only to instantly learn the nature of her powers. As soon as she touched Jessica, she absorbed her Esper powers, snuffing them out like a candle. Gehenna intervened in time, stopping her from breaking Jessica’s power. Studying her Magi, he learned that this girl was beyond what anyone could have expected – a human with the innate power to steal an Esper’s power, perhaps for good. She had been born with exactly the power that Siegg had sought to obtain for years. Perhaps he had misread the portents, and taken Gwen instead of her sister – if so, that was very lucky for the world. Nonetheless, this seventeen-year old girl posed a very real danger.
It was resolved to return her to Pandemonium at once. With such power, she could save the world… or doom it. Before they left, Gwen said farewell to her mother, who was dying… and with her last breath, made Gwen promise to protect her sister.
Odine hurried to meet them in Pandemonium. He and his father took Bathilda aside, to study her under the heroes’ supervision. Consent among the Espers was to kill her. Odine explained, that unless she could learn to control her powers, she would be a huge danger – and even if she did, such power was still greater than any might a human had ever possessed. Gwen tried to hold her hand, but in doing so, they nearly destroyed Pandemonium, for neither Gwen nor Bathilda could control the immense power they wielded.
Learning this, Gwen stole Odin’s spear, and turned it upon her sister, ready to kill her. Bathilda swore, then, that she would fight to protect the world – that she would never let the power control her.
Reluctantly, Gwendolen spared her life – recalling Siren’s vision of the young Alexius, but also the promise she’d made to her mother. Perhaps it had been the wrong choice, but for now, she declared, the girl must live. That was that. It was decided she’d be kept in Pandemonium, so that Siegg could never lay his hands upon her. When he was dead, perhaps she could become one of the Kardus.

Source: New Zealand Government
The Crown accounts are in a strong position to weather any economic uncertainty as a result of coronavirus, with the books in surplus and expenses close to forecast, Finance Minister Grant Robertson says.
The Treasury today released the Crown accounts for the seven months to January.
The operating balance before gains and losses (OBEGAL) is close to forecast with a surplus of $1.4 billion.
Core Crown Expenses were also close to forecast at $53 billion and net core Crown Debt was $0.4 billion lower than forecast at 19.5% of GDP.
“The positive state of the Government accounts means we are well placed to deal with whatever the economic impacts of coronavirus may be,” Grant Robertson says.
“The fundamentals of the economy are strong and our careful management has seen the economy continue to grow in the face of constant headwinds like international trade disputes and uncertainty over Brexit.
“This has been backed by international rating agency S&P affirming New Zealand’s credit ratings at AA for foreign currency and AA+ for domestic currency and describing the outlook as positive.
“S&P also noted that our economy is resilient and flexible, and that the coronavirus outbreak and slowing Chinese economy are unlikely to weigh on New Zealand’s credit quality,” Grant Robertson says.
“The Government is carefully monitoring the impact of coronavirus on all sectors of New Zealand and we are preparing for multiple scenarios. We are ready to support our people and our businesses through any eventuality.
“We believe it is sensible and responsible to plan for every possible scenario, but that does not mean we are predicting them.
“We are also at a stage in the 2020 Budget process where we can consider the policies required if we need them,” Grant Robertson says.

BALTIMORE – It would be unfair to cite a costly error by Troy Tulowitzki as the sole reason why the Colorado Rockies lost to the Baltimore Orioles.
Although Tulowitzki's misplay led to six unearned runs, the Rockies had plenty of other lapses in an 8-4 defeat Saturday night.
Colorado stranded 11 runners and went 2 for 12 with runners in scoring position. Not only that, but the Rockies were far from fundamentally sound when Baltimore broke open the game with a seven-run third.
Adam Jones had two hits in Baltimore's highest-scoring inning of the season, which featured an error by Tulowitzki, two walks, a passed ball and a wild pitch. Six of the seven runs were unearned.
"If a couple of things happen differently," manager Walt Weiss said, "and that inning changes. The Orioles came out and found ways to score."
Most of the damage came against Colorado rookie Chad Bettis (0-2), who allowed seven hits, four walks and eight runs in 2 2-3 innings.
"He struggled with some command tonight," Weiss said. "He walked some guys. It's tough to keep them from scoring when you do that. Chad battled. He just struggled, threw a lot of pitches, got some bad counts and really had to work hard. And we didn't help him much in that third inning."
The inning began with a double by Chris Davis and an infield hit by Jones. Nick Markakis followed with an RBI single, and one out later Colorado brought the infield in with runners on second and third. Steve Pearce hit a grounder to shortstop that got past Tulowitzki, allowing Jones to score.
"I think Tul probably looked up to see if the runner was taking off from third," Weiss said. "But, he's been as good as you can possibly be at shortstop. He's not going to make every play for six months."
Following the second out, Brian Roberts doubled in two runs, Nate McLouth walked and Manny Machado hit his major league-leading 43rd double to bring home Roberts and McLouth.
"It was really embarrassing," Bettis said. "I've got a lot to learn."
Adam Ottavino replaced Bettis and walked Davis before Jones delivered an RBI single for an 8-1 lead.
Bud Norris (9-10) gave up four runs and nine hits over 5 2-3 innings to improve to 3-1 since coming to the Orioles in a trade with Houston on July 31.
The victory enabled Baltimore to end a four-game skid that included a loss to Colorado on Friday night.
"It was huge," Norris said. "Just to be back in the win column was huge. To have a seven-run third inning is definitely a help to any starting pitcher going out there. I just wanted to keep putting up zeroes and the bullpen really came in and picked me up, too."
After Norris left, Baltimore relievers allowed three hits over the final 3 1-3 innings.
Dexter Fowler hit RBI singles in the fourth and sixth innings for the Rockies, who lost for only the second time in eight games.
Jones had three hits and Davis picked up his 113th RBI to help the Orioles secure their first victory since beating San Francisco last Sunday.
Colorado got two hits and two walks in the first inning but scored only once, when Tulowitzki bounced into a double play.
In the bottom half, McLouth drew a leadoff walk, advanced on a single by Machado and came home on a fly ball by Davis.
Although the Orioles left the bases loaded in the second, they made up for it in the third.
NOTES: Colorado activated closer Rafael Betancourt (appendicitis) from the 15-day disabled list and optioned RHP Manuel Corpas to Triple-A Colorado Springs. Betancourt worked a perfect eighth, striking out two. ... Baltimore's Scott Feldman faces 11-game winner Jhoulys Chacin in the series finale. ... Tulowitzki's error was only the fifth in 15 games this month by the Rockies.


Hello everyone, Today we will talk about the relation between power factor and load. As we know that power factor is a very critical parameter when we are designing the lights, and a key value which evaluates the pollution caused by the electrical device to the electricity grid.Normally it has to be over 0.9 according to the standards like energy start and ErP.
What is Power Factor?
Power factor is an expression of energy efficiency. It is usually expressed as a percentage—and the lower the percentage, the less efficient power usage is.
Power factor (PF) is the ratio of working power, measured in kilowatts (kW), to apparent power, measured in kilovolt amperes (kVA). Apparent power, also known as demand, is the measure of the amount of power used to run machinery and equipment during a certain period. It is found by multiplying (kVA = V x A). The result is expressed as kVA units.
PF expresses the ratio of true power used in a circuit to the apparent power delivered to the circuit. A 96% power factor demonstrates more efficiency than a 75% power factor. PF below 95% is considered inefficient in many regions.
Power Factor Vs Load Curve
So when the lighting engineers are designing the products, they check the PF vs. load value from the LED driver datasheet to make sure the PF is sufficient at the working condition like this picture (Picture1） shows.However, is that really enough? No, especially when you are using the wide input single power stage LED drivers, you need to be very careful because the PF normally varies with LED features.
Wide input single stage LED driver
Wide input single stage LED driver uses the topology of flyback, which is a very cost effective and high efficiency design. This circuit design uses single transformer to achieve the high PF with normally 100-277Vac and good output constant current regulation. (Picture2，Principle Diagram)It is very widely used in the driver designs with less than 50W power.
Inherent drawbacks of Flyback
However, there are two inherent drawbacks of this topology, one is the very large current ripple and the other is that PF varies greatly with LED load characteristics. We will talk about the current ripple in another video and today we focus on the PF. We know that in single stage designs, PF is actually determined by the control loop, which makes the input current follow up with the input voltage, the more overlap they have, the higher PF we get.But it is a pity that the whole feedback control loop changes with the LED equivalent impedence greatly, while the impedence is determined by the LED V-I characteristic .
How to find the difference?
So when light engineers find the big difference between the tested value and the announced value, the first thing to do is to understand whether it is a single stage design. If it is, engineers just need to make sure the PF value is sufficient with the LED chips they use, and if not, there should be some quality problems with the driver or the driver is not well designed. For two stage designs, the jobs are very clear that the first stage makes sure PF is OK and the second stage regulates the output current. The second stage is usually little affected by the load because it has the constant voltage input and the control loops is very quick and stable.
So that is the story between Power factor and LED load, if you have questions, please dont hesitate to contact with sales@uPowerTek.com, or visit www.uPowerTek.com


The Florida House agreed Tuesday to allow online voter registration but tacked on a provision aimed at heightening cyber-security — sending the measure back to the Senate for final approval. Secretary of State Ken Detzner, the state’s top elections official and an appointee of Gov. Rick Scott, has opposed the legislation, which sets online registration to begin in 2017. Detzner cautioned that problems could emerge with the measure that has drawn widespread support from lawmakers, county elections supervisors, and voter advocacy groups. The House approved the measure (CS/SB 228) 109-9 Tuesday. But the move came after Rep. James Grant, R-Tampa, added a provision that authorizes the Scott administration to conduct a “comprehensive risk assessment” of online registration before the system is made available to the public.
Rep. Dwight Dudley, D-St. Petersburg, swung back, questioning timing of the change. “This is a thinly veiled attempt to kill this bill,” Dudley said.
Grant, however, disputed the charge, saying he was merely looking to “make this bill better.”
“We have plenty of time to get this thing right,” Grant added.
Indeed, Senate sponsor Jeff Clemens, D-Lake Worth, said later that he endorsed Grant’s amendment. The Senate approved the measure 34-3 on Monday, and is likely to OK the amended bill before Friday’s scheduled adjournment, he said.

- Three bus shelters at Little Mount stop, but none halts here
Despite presence of three bus shelters, Metropolitan Transport Corporation (MTC) buses do not halt at the designated points in Little Mount or Saidapet Court bus stop. Instead they stop near the foot overbridge close to the area to pick up or drop passengers
- Water tankers overrun MTC terminus, buses stay away
The MTC terminus at Puzhuthivakkam belongs to water tankers. For the past one year, no MTC bus has entered it and most trips to the terminus are made by tankers contracted to Metrowater. These vehicles fetch water from a filling station inside the facility.
- Two lives, one marriage end in an accident
On Friday, P Bharathi, 28, left Nageshwari, 19, wife of 23 days with the promise of finding them a rented house in Chennai to start their marital life. Bharathi, a mechanic with MTC in Chennai, had his leave cut short because of shortage of people at work. Early on Sunday morning
- UP: Many feared dead after bus catches fire in Kannauj
Many passengers were feared dead after a double-decker bus carrying about 50 passengers caught fire following an accident with a truck on Friday night on GT Road in UP's Kannauj. Fire tenders have been rushed to the spot to carry out the rescue operation. UP CM Yogi Adityanath has directed authorities to ensure proper treatment to the injured people.
- Man kills mom, attacks sister in MTC bus
A man turned an MTC bus at the Tambaram terminus into a blood-soaked ‘field’ on Tuesday evening, hacking his 77-year-old mother to death and injuring his 55-year-old sister, allegedly because the older woman had deposed against him in a property dispute. A few passengers nabbed 53-year-old P Devaraj, still clutching the blood-stained knife, and handed him over to police.


Harsha Bhogle has an interesting new column in Cricinfo about the rote-learning at Indian cricket “academies”:
Ten-year-old kids are going to academies of various hues, largely dubious, to learn the forward-defensive stroke and the cover drive. They must learn almost by rote, and therefore not too differently from the way they study history; they are taught about where the front foot should be, about how bat and pad must go together, where the elbow should be, where the toe should point, about how the follow-through must end with the bat over the left shoulder. All perfectly correct, except that they don’t learn to hit a ball; instead, they become obedient pupils.
Bhogle’s point mainly deals with the danger of “mollycoddling” coaches, but I think there’s a bigger problem in store with cricket if most of its recruits learn at the hands of textbooks and manuals. Because of its geographic and ethnic diversity, cricket has always produced its outliers and eccentrics — Murali and Mendis; Jack Russell and his strange wicketkeeping stance; Paul Adams and his unbelievable bowling action.
More broadly, there are different types of players (consolidators, Michael Bevan-type pinch-hitters; Jayasuriya/Sehwag openers). I’m not saying Bombay alleys are the ideal breeding ground for cricketers, but I think there should be a fair enough space left for experimentation and fun. Rahul Dravid is beautiful to behold, with his classical shots, but we all need a little Dilshan scoop now and then.


Honda Crosstour Idle Learn Tutorial
PCM Idle Learn Procedure
NOTE: Erasing DTCs with the HDS does not require you to do the idle learn procedure.
1. Make sure all electrical items (A/C, audio, lights, etc.) are off.
2. Reset the PCM with the HDS.
3. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II), and wait 2 seconds.
4. Start the engine. Hold the engine speed at 3,000 rpm without load (in P or N) until the radiator fan comes on, or until the engine coolant temperature reaches 194 °F (90 °C).
5. Let the engine idle for about 5 minutes with the throttle fully closed.

Eating conventionally grown produce adds chemicals to your diet that can dull your skin and hair. Not sure where to go for a source of organic vegetables? Try community supported agriculture or your local farmer’s market. Visit Local Harvest to find programs in your region.
Once you find the freshest ingredients, change up your diets to see which one your body needs, like the diet for acid reflux.
Kim, I love you blog and book! I have made some dramatic changes in my diet and am definately seeing improvements in my body. My husband drinks his GGS everyday and is now off his blood pressure and cholesterol medication. Unfortunately, we live in Korea and are unable to find organic produce. Even local farmers use pesticides and herbicides. I know there is no way to get rid of the chemicals, but would the use of digestive enzymes or other supplements help with this?
Kit, sometimes I’ll add a product called Adya Clarity to my green smoothies and green juices. Its main purpose is for purifying water but it also increases the mineral content. I don’t know if there are other products like it. I haven’t heard Kim talk about this product but some raw food and health gurus, as well as some bloggers have talked about the benefits of this product like Matt Monarch from The Raw Food World. Also, you could use an organic superfood green powder like Vitamineral green or Ormus greens.
Is there a way to consume supermarket fruits and vegetables if I can’t buy them organic or natural because it’s too expensive? we have wet markets here in Asia but I’m not sure if vendors get supplies from organic farms. the nearest organic or natural market is only open on Sundays and it’s a two-hour drive from my home.

Eye conditions may affect the eyelids, eyelashes, iris, pupil, lens and the sclera. There are also nerves, muscles and blood vessels that may be affected by a condition. Most people experience temporary eye problems from time to time, including itching, blurriness or fatigue. These conditions often are short-lived and resolve on their own with no further complications. However, sudden eye problems and those that last for more than a couple of days could be signs of a serious condition and should be checked by a doctor.
Some common conditions that can affect the eye include astigmatism, glaucoma, retinopathy and cataracts. The most common cause of vision loss in people over 50 is age-related macular degeneration (AMD). AMD is caused by hardening of the arteries of the retina. This deprives the retinal tissue of the oxygen and nutrients that it needs to function. As a result, the central vision deteriorates.
The following lifestyle changes can help keep your eyes in good health, and perhaps identify problems early — schedule regular checkups, do daily eye exercises, take a multi-vitamin, eat more dark green leafy vegetables, wear sunglasses with UV protection, quit smoking and exercise regularly.

I am not a modeler, and honestly have no desire to go thru the learning curve
necessary to have confidence in the results. That said, is there one of you
out there who would be willing to do some modeling for me?
My plan is a three tower antenna farm.
Tower 1 is a stack of Opti Beam OB-16-3's at 40-80 and 120 feet, and a 40 yagi
at 130 feet all on a rotating 55 tower. Hanging from the top from phyllistran
catenary lines will be an 80 meter four square vertical array and I will shunt
feed the tower on 160. (currently it is an 80 footer with 40 beam at top, 80
vertical 4 square hanging off it and a 160L attached to the top.)
Tower 2 is a guyed 80 foot 45 tower 120 feet away from the one described that
will be converted to a WARC array. This one will hold a pair of M2 5 element 17
beams at 40 and 80 feet, a 4 element M2 12 meter beam at 85 and a 2 element 30
meter yagi at 90 feet. (currently it is an 80 footer with an OB 16-3 at the
top and a C3E on a tic ring at 40 feet)
At some point in the future I would put up tower 3; a 40 footer with a C3E
fixed on EU, making a triangle of towers with about 100 feet between it and
each of the taller sticks.
All guys are/will be phyllistran.
Question is, what if any interactions can be expected and should perhaps I not
be considering such a complex trio of arrays so physically close together? I
have analyzed the take off angles etc. using HFTA and am impressed with its
potential from my flat as a pancake location. I am also very impressed with the
single Opti Beam OB-16-3 currently up at 78 feet, and the C3E below it at 40
feet is strong into EU. Anyone wish to offer some help? We will first
discuss compensation. Thanks and Happy Thanksgiving. 73 bob de w9ge

Cast Of ‘Orange Is The New Black’ Celebrates Its Ensemble Win At SAG Awards
ORANGE IS THE NEW BLACK CAST CELEBRATES SAG AWARD WIN
The cast, including Taylor Schilling (Piper Chapman), Uzo Aduba, (Suzanne “Crazy Eyes” Warren), Danielle Brooks (Tasha “Taystee” Jefferson), Yael Stone (Lorna Morello), and Selenis Levya (Glora Mendoza), got together for a group shot holding their awards.
— SAG Awards® (@SAGawards) January 30, 2017
Schilling discussed the group’s profound diversity in her acceptance speech on behalf of the cast. “We stand up here representing a diverse group of people, representing generations of families that have sought better life here — Nigeria, Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, Colombia, Ireland,” she said to a cheering crowd. “And we know that its going to be up to us, and all of you probably too…to show that what unites is stronger than the forces trying to divide us.”
In the wake of Donald Trump‘s recent executive order banning immigration from seven predominantly-Muslim countries, the SAG Awards were filled with impassioned political speeches celebrating the importance of diversity and immigrants. Watch Schilling’s entire speech below.

HARTING Increases Commitment to ODVA and Ethernet/IP to Become ODVA’s Newest Principal Member
HARTING recently became a principal member of ODVA alongside other leading industrial tech companies.
ODVA is an organization that focuses on international standards in the industrial automation industry. The companies announced the partnership between Harting and ODVA in November of 2020.
This partnership aims to help advance device communications and connectivity through Ethernet/IP and other new-generation network solutions.
Over the years, Harting has worked with ODVA and some of its other partners in advancing industrial automation standards. Harting supplies heavy-duty connectors, interfaces/ board connectors, and cable solutions for industrial processes.

Multiple industries benefit from these products, including the machinery/robotics industry, the automation industry, the transportation industry, and the power generation/ distribution industry. Harting offers different types of connector solutions and developed an industrial single pair Ethernet connector called the T1.
The industry is continually changing and evolving, including Industrial Ethernet capabilities. Now that these capabilities do more through a network, ODVA’s company partnerships are accelerating these capabilities. Today, most of our industrial processes are data-driven so having advanced network infrastructure is an absolute necessity.
“Ethernet/IP is a critical communication network for the future of discrete and process industries, especially with the advent of Industrial Single Pair Ethernet and Ethernet-APL,” stated Jon DeSouza, President and CEO of HARTING Americas. “HARTING is looking forward to continuing to provide enhanced smart connectivity solutions for Ethernet/IP networks to drive faster decision making and error correction as well as prevention.”
HARTING also mentioned they aim to increase their advancements in this technology by joining ODVA.
Industry Leaders and ODVA's Capabilities
With ODVA’s partners, Harting, Cisco Systems, Endress +Hauser, Honeywell, Omron, Rockwell Automation, and Schneider Electric, the industry will start to see changes in IIoT and network connectivity.

ODVA helps manufacturers implement plant wide-network infrastructures for discrete, process, motion, safety, and security applications with secure access utilizing CIP and Ethernet/IP capabilities according to ODVA.
ODVA and HARTING
ODVA is excited to formally announce their solidified partnership with Harting in their Quarter 4 media briefing for this year. The briefing will explain the reasons and a complete overview of the new partnership.
This will be in time for the SPS Connect Conference, which will be a meeting for new digital industry attributes. Top industrial companies under this organization will bring forth a sound and sure development into new industrial standards.
The industry may start to see an increase in IIoT jobs due to these types of efforts. The integration of automation and digital solutions promises to ensure the longevity of industries, increase efficiency, reduce risk, reduce emissions, and overall improve the quality of automation solutions.

More than eight years after David Letterman signed off as host of The Late Show, he will return – not as host (this ain’t The Tonight Show!) but as guest. Next Monday, Letterman will take the chair next to current host Stephen Colbert, who took over for the snarky, TV-smashing, near-Ted Striker Letterman in 2015.
During Thursday’s episode of The Late Show, Stephen Colbert announced that David Letterman would make his triumphant return to The Ed Sullivan Theater, which the latter made his home for 23 seasons and more than 4,200 episodes. “I am so happy to say, I will be joined…by a man who is no stranger to The Ed Sullivan Theater, though I know for a fact he’s not been here for eight-and-a-half years. Because my guest will be Mr. David Letterman.”
David Letterman’s last show as The Late Show host was May 20th, 2015 in a tremendous finale that featured former presidents and a Top 10 list with Jerry Seinfeld, Steve Martin, Bill Murray (the show’s first guest ever), and more, as well as a montage-accompanying rendition of “Everlong” by Foo Fighters.
Fortunately for fans of David Letterman, that final episode of The Late Show didn’t mean he would exclusively lock himself in a cabin in Montana. Instead, it’s like he never went away. Most notably, less than three years later, he launched Netflix’s My Next Guest Needs No Introduction with David Letterman, an interview-forward program that featured guests ranging from Barack Obama and Tina Fey to Malala Yousafzai and Kim Kardashian. It would be nominated for four Primetime Creative Arts Emmy Awards.
During its run, The Late Show with David Letterman would only win two Primetime Emmys, although its predecessor, Late Night… nabbed four. Colbert – who has been plenty busy elsewhere himself – has yet to win any under his tenure. He does, however, have nine over the course of his time with The Daily Show and The Colbert Report.
Were you a fan of The Late Show under David Letterman? How do you feel late night television compares now to the days of the Letterman/Leno feud?

The oil level should be checked regularly. Operating the engine with an insufficient amount of oil can damage the engine, and such damage is not covered by the warranty.
It is normal to add some oil between oil maintenance intervals or during the break-in period, depending on the severity of operating conditions.

Engine oil and filter recommendations
Selecting the correct oil
It is essential to choose the correct grade, quality, and viscosity engine oil to ensure satisfactory engine life and performance, see “Capacities and recommended fluids/lubricants” NISSAN recommends the use of an energy-conserving oil in order to improve fuel economy.
Select only engine oils that meet the American Petroleum Institute (API) certification or International Lubricant Standardization and Approval Committee (ILSAC) certification and SAE viscosity standard. These oils have the API certification mark on the front of the container. Oils that do not have the specified quality label should not be used as they could cause engine damage.
NISSAN does not recommend the use of oil additives. The use of an oil additive is not necessary when the proper oil type is used and maintenance intervals are followed. The oil that may contain foreign matter or has been previously used should not be used.
The engine oil viscosity or thickness changes with temperature. Because of this, it is important to select the engine oil viscosity based on the temperatures at which the vehicle will be operated before the next oil change. Choosing an oil viscosity other than that recommended could cause serious engine damage.
Selecting the correct oil filter
Your new NISSAN vehicle is equipped with a high-quality genuine NISSAN oil filter. When replacing, use a genuine NISSAN oil filter or its equivalent for the reason described in “Change intervals”.
The oil and oil filter change intervals for your engine are based on the use of the specified quality oils and filters. Using an engine oil and filter other than the specified quality, or exceeding recommended oil and filter change intervals could reduce engine life.
Damage to the engine caused by improper maintenance or use of incorrect oil and filter quality and/or viscosity is not covered by the NISSAN new vehicle limited warranty. Your engine was filled with a high-quality engine oil when it was built. You do not have to change the oil before the first recommended change interval.

Johns Hopkins Study Addresses Violence Against Women
One in every three women has beaten, raped or abused according to a global study released Thursday by The Johns Hopkins School of Public Health and the Center for Health and Gender Equity. Authors stated that their report, Ending Violence Against Women, is the first worldwide analysis of violence against women.

Wearable devices—smart glasses, wrist-worn displays, biometric authentication bands and other connected devices worn on the body—have many promising applications in healthcare.
When integrated with core medical systems, wearables can enable physicians, nurses and other hospital staff to become truly mobile, using their hands to work while having access to relevant, context-aware information.
The result? Faster, higher quality decision making, more efficient work output and lower costs. Leading-edge hospitals and clinics are already using wearables to transform resident training and emergency medicine communication, providing a critical competitive advantage.
Opportunities continue to expand, but regulatory, technical, security and operational obstacles must be addressed. Read on as we detail critical considerations.
Healthcare wearables will save as many as 1.3 million lives and the market for the technology will grow to $41 billion by 2020, according to estimates by Soreon Research.
What’s more, patients are ready for wearables. Evidence from the Patient Engagement Survey showed 49 percent of patients globally wear or would be willing to wear technology that measures and tracks both fitness/lifestyle and vital signs.
By deploying wearables technologies, hospitals and clinics can achieve benefits across multiple levels and roles, including:
Improve patient care and satisfaction - Provide surgeons and physicians with critical information to improve decision making process while increasing opportunities for patient connection. Examples include using smart glasses to view patient vitals and relevant information during surgical procedures without taking eyes off patient.
Enhance operations at point of care - Enable more efficient and effective use of nurses’ time and resources. Examples include using smart glasses or wrist-worn displays to instantly alert nurses to specific patient needs or to update patient location in the hospital (i.e., moved into operating room); optimizing nurse assignments to attend to patients in a smart way; or providing supplemental patient vitals monitoring.
Strengthen operational bottom line - Facilitate cost savings by equipping building and custodial staff with wearable devices that increase productivity.
To move ahead, healthcare organizations must proactively address the relevant regulations, then implement the proper technology systems and security protocols to make their wearables implementation fully compliant and operational.
Careful planning is necessary across four key areas:
Regulatory - In the United States, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has taken a risk-based approach to wearable and mobile health technologies, committing to enforce regulations on only high-risk health IT applications and clinical devices.
In October 2014, the FDA issued draft guidance recommending that device manufacturers manage cybersecurity risks in the initial design and development process for network-connected medical wearables that access patient data. With that and subsequent decisions, the FDA placed the primary responsibility for regulatory compliance on device manufacturers, not hospital and clinical administrators.
Technical - Interoperability is a key consideration for wearables implementations in healthcare organizations. Wearable devices either serve as an interface to a data warehouse or as a device generating data to be stored in a data warehouse.
Security - The largest security risk with the wearables comes from their ability to store and transfer data. This unstructured data could possibly be subjected to unauthorized access, duplication or loss. If breached, it could also be a violation of a patient’s privacy.
Operational - Hospitals and clinics will need to develop a strategy to roll out and maintain the processes supported by wearable technologies. This includes determining how to implement the technology from a logistical standpoint, provide appropriate training to employees, and maintain regulatory compliance and data privacy.

Since losing a presidential election runoff to President Joseph Kabila last October, Jean-Pierre Bemba, a businessman, former warlord and Congo's leading opposition figure, has had a difficult time transforming himself and his political movement into a functioning democratic opposition for the war-ravaged country.
In the days after the election, Bemba -- a transition government vice president and now a national senator -- refused to accept the election results, despite observers declaring the voting largely free and fair. Bemba has since insisted on keeping a private army of 2,000 men around Kinshasa as a guard against what he believes have been repeated assassination attempts by Kabila's forces.
Tensions between Congo's army and Bemba's men earlier this month exploded into several days of heavy fighting in the capital that United Nations officials say left at least 100 people dead. In the aftermath, Bemba was charged with treason and fled to the South African Embassy in Kinshasa.
Now Kinshasa newspapers report that Bemba is likely to leave Congo as early as Saturday to fly to Portugal for medical treatment, and what may turn out to be an extended exile. Western diplomats say continuing violence has damaged efforts to restore peace and democratic rule to Congo, and that the departure of the country's still-armed opposition leader could prove a military relief -- but also a major blow to efforts to build a credible democracy in a country struggling to move beyond a decade of conflict that has left nearly 4 million people dead of hunger, disease and violence.
The United Nations mission in Kinshasa has called for Congo's government to "respect the principles of transparency, inclusiveness and tolerance of dissent" and insisted that Bemba and his followers "adhere to these same democratic norms, voicing their views responsibly and without resort to violence."
The Tribune spoke to Bemba by telephone at the South African Embassy in Kinshasa on Thursday.
Q.: Are you in fact planning to leave Congo this weekend, as the Kinshasa newspapers are reporting?
A.: That's what I hope to do, yes. We are still negotiating, but my hope is to leave as soon as possible.
Q.: Do you have plans to return, especially given the treason charges against you? Will you fight them?
A.: I want to come back and continue playing my role as an opponent. But I don't know if the conditions will be clear for me to come back. The problem we have in Congo is Kabila doesn't like the opposition to be active. Kabila wants to kill me.
Q.: Why do you say that? What does the government gain by assassinating you?
A.: He has tried three times to kill me, and if he kills me, nobody will be able to [oppose him] anymore. I won 42 percent in the last election and that will probably grow in the next five years. He fears that. The only solution he can find to his problems is to kill me.
Q.: What happens to your party if you leave Congo and do not return?
A.. My political party will not participate anymore in parliament. We will go out of the institutions and the government will be one party, a state party, not more. We will not continue in a dictatorship.
Q.: Would your movement take up arms again against the government?
A.: It's clear we have no way to fight. The party would go on, but we would withdraw as the democratic opposition.
Q.: You have refused in recent months to disarm your private guard, citing fears for your life. But your men this week have begun turning their weapons over to Congo's army. Is that because you're no longer at risk or because you're preparing to leave?
A.. I don't know. Maybe both.
Q.: Did you issue orders for the disarmament?
A.. I haven't, not really.
Q.: What does your party want for Congo?
A.: Real democracy with the government running the country and the opposition watching, proposing, criticizing on the other side, and not being worried about our security. Remember back in January when people wanted to demonstrate on the streets against corruption in politics? Troops were sent to meet them. Now they send troops to kill me. I don't know if this is really an example of democracy. When I see all that happens, I'm not really confident. I don't have a lot of hope for my country with this kind of leadership.
Q.: So you don't believe Kabila's government can return democracy to Congo?
A.: Tanks are on the streets of the capital. When you send tanks into the streets, what message do you expect to send? This is not solving things by negotiation. This has nothing to do with democracy. This is giving a strong signal to the opposition that they should not criticize.

The use of metal atom active media allows to convert optical signals with the transferring of the adjusted contrast. Due to the opportunities of metal vapor active media it makes possible to increase the intensity of the signal in the narrow spectral range. As a result, the signal-to-noise ratio can be dramatically increased. It makes possible to build active optical systems for high speed imaging of processes which are hidden by high intensive radiation. In the systems is available the image active filtration due to induced transition on metal atoms. Active optical systems with metal vapor brightness amplifiers (which is called Laser monitor), have shown the high efficiency for reducing the background radiation effect on the observing processes in the real-time mode. Moreover, the use of different active media makes it possible to change the spectral contest of the input signal with the increasing of the intensity. In the work the result of the research such systems are presented. The method of transformation IR images to VIS images is discussed. The work presents the results of the using of different active optical systems for high speed imaging.
The results of examination of characteristics of a CuBr laser with small active volume operated in the doublepumping-pulse mode with a lasing pulse repetition rate of 50 Hz are presented. Owing to the use of pumping sources with pulsed step charge of the working capacity, effective energy input to the active medium of the laser is realized. The potential to enhance the laser efficiency by choosing the optimum voltages of dissociation and excitation pulses and time delay values is discussed. It is confirmed that a more than twofold increase in the laser efficiency may be achieved through optimization and matched injection of the excitation-pulse energy into the active medium plasma. The maximum efficiency of the laser was 2.7%.
Investigation of the energy characteristics of copper, manganese, lead halide vapor lasers with inner reactor and small active volume 90 cm3 was made. The optimal operating pulse repetition rates, temperatures, and buffer gas pressure for gas discharge tubes with internal and external electrodes are determined. Under identical pump conditions, such systems are not inferior in their characteristics to standard metal halide vapor lasers. It is shown that the use of a zeolite halogen generator provides lifetime laser operation.
The results of a comparative study of CuBr-laser energy characteristics with a small active volume operating in pulse-periodic mode and dual pump pulses are presented. The advantages of these regimes in the range 5-100 Hz and 5- 100 kHz for output power, the energy generation and efficiency of the laser are shown.
Dependence of a CuBr laser output on the pressure of H2- and HBr- additives into active medium has been investigated. Optimal H2 and HBr densities for maximal laser output have been determined when pressure of Ne buffer gas was varied in the range from 10 up to 100 torr. Laser output has been studied with variation of the active compound (CuBr) pressure in the range from 0.1 up to 0.6 torr for gas discharge tubes of different volumes. The optimal additive pressure has been shown to linearly depend on a voltage across gas discharge tube at high pressure of the buffer gas. The
optimal density of copper bromide decreases while pulse repetition rate increases up to 100 kHz. It is assumed that accumulating of Cu-atoms takes place in the active medium due to decreasing of interpulse period.
The influence of minor H2 and HBr additives on the generation characteristics of some copper bromide vapor lasers is experimentally investigated. It is demonstrated that at optimal concentrations of both admixtures, the average generation power increases by five times for lasers with small active element diameters, and by two times for lasers with major diameters. For the maintenance of an adjusted concentration of the admixture, the original construction of the HBr generator is developed, which in the reversible regime removes not only the HBr surplus from active volume of the laser, but also at least some of harmful products of the working laser. The obtained results are applied to the development of a sealed-off self-heating copper bromide vapor laser with an integral HBr generator, operating in the automatic regime.
Investigations of the output parameters of CuBr (Cu)+HBr laser systems have shown that HBr additives to the CuBr laser active medium result in an increase ofthe laser output power and efficiency that compares, in this case, with that of a CuBr laser with H2 additives. It has been found that the vapor of working substance are additionally produced in gas-discharge tubes (GDTs) less than 2 cm in diameter due to expulsion of copper atoms from the GDT walls by HBr.
The results of simulating the kinetics of the copper vapor laser active medium with HBr additives show that the enhancement of the laser performance parameters can be explained by the processes of chemical transformation of copper from the solid phase into the gas one.
In the paper, we show the present state of the art of high pulse repetition frequency (PRF) metal vapor lasers (MVL’s) and metal halide vapor lasers (MHVL’s) development. We also analyze underlying physical features, which limit optimum and maximum PRF of the above lasers and mention the results of the experimental study of high PRF CuBr and PbBr2 vapor lasers. By use of a powerful tasitron as a switch and a small hydrogen additive to the buffer gas Ne we obtained the output power of a practical use with PRF more than 200 kHz. Given PRF 250 kHz and a laser tube of diameter 2.5 cm and length 76 cm, we have got the output power 1.5 W. For PRF 200 kHz and 100 kHz, the output power 3 W and 10.5 W has been got respectively without gas flow across the discharge tube. Experimental and numerical modeling data evidence that the small H2 (or Cs) additives improve the frequency and output features of MVL’s and MHVL’s.
Experimental study of PbBr laser was performed to study its performances and lifetime. Optimal pulse repetition rate was defined. Numerical model of PbBr laser was created to define the optimal Lead vapor pressure to achieve maximum output power and efficiency.
In the paper, we present new results of CuBr-laser study in a regular pulse mode with a high PRF and in a mode of modified double pumping pulses with PRF = 30 kHz. It has been shown a stable PRF over 500 kHz can be obtained.

Three Easy Ways to Manage your Money
No matter how old you are or what your income is, there are a few general rules of thumb that are very helpful when it comes to managing your money.
Make a budget. This isn't as easy as it may sound. Many people have never made a budget or have abandoned it after only a few weeks. Start by keeping a close record of every dollar you spend. Don't forget to include small daily cash purchases as these can add up quickly. After tracking your spending habits, look for red flags. Are you spending too much eating out at lunch? Is your cell phone bill too high? Make a budget by spending everything on paper before the month even starts. This will help you keep on track.
Spend less than you make. Another obvious statement that is also very profound. To help balance your financial equation, you may need to cut your expenses and/or increase your income. Look for ways to reduce your spending. You'll be amazed at how even little things can add up to a lot over an entire month.
Set goals. By making a plan, and writing it down on paper, your are much more likely to succeed. Or, you can use an online tool.


AUSTIN, Texas Two anti-abortion activists behind the filming of videos on alleged fetal tissue procurement by Planned Parenthood were indicted by a Texas grand jury on Monday, while clearing the women's health group following a state-ordered probe.
The videos released last summer led Texas and several other Republican-controlled states to try to halt funding for local Planned Parenthood operations, with Republicans in the U.S. Congress also pushing for a funding cut.
The grand jury reviewed the case for more than two months and its decision was a result of the probe launched last year under Texas Governor Greg Abbott, a Republican, who accused Planned Parenthood of the "gruesome harvesting of baby body parts."
"After a lengthy and thorough investigation by the Harris County District Attorney’s Office, the Texas Rangers, and the Houston Police Department, a Harris County grand jury took no action Monday against Planned Parenthood Gulf Coast," the Harris County District Attorney's office said in a statement.
Planned Parenthood has denied the accusation and called the probe politically motivated.
David Daleiden and Sandra Merritt, were indicted by the grand jury for tampering with a governmental record, said prosecutors for the county in which Houston is located. The charge is a felony punishable by up to 20 years in prison.
The two were involved in covert videos last year in which a discussion was held with a Planned Parenthood official on the procurement of fetal tissue.
Daleiden, leader of the Center for Medical Progress that released the videos, was also charged with violating a prohibition on the purchase and sale of human organs, a misdemeanour, the Harris County District Attorney said.
There were no details released on the allegations against them.
"I respect their decision on this difficult case," Harris County District Attorney Devon Anderson said of the grand jury.
The videos purported to show Planned Parenthood officials trying to negotiate prices for aborted fetal tissue. Under federal law, donated human fetal tissue may be used for research, but profiting from its sale is prohibited.
"These people broke the law to spread malicious lies about Planned Parenthood in order to advance their extreme anti-abortion political agenda," said Eric Ferrero, vice president of Communications for Planned Parenthood Federation of America.
"As the dust settles and the truth comes out, it's become totally clear that the only people who engaged in wrongdoing are the criminals behind this fraud, and we're glad they're being held accountable," he said.
Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee weighed in, saying in a statement: "It’s a sick day in America when our government punishes those who expose evil with a smartphone - while accommodating those who perform it with a scalpel."
Texas leaders said they would not back down on their probe.
The Texas governor said: "Nothing about today’s announcement in Harris County impacts the state’s ongoing investigation."
In October, Texas raided several Planned Parenthood facilities in the state.
Arkansas and Louisiana, two neighbouring states that have launched similar moves to cut state Medicaid funding after the videos, have been on the losing end of federal lawsuits, with judges blocking their attempts to halt funds.
