Summer fun in winter
You don’t have to camp less just because it’s cold – especially not if the KwaZulu-Natal bush is your destination.
The longest night and shortest day have come and gone, which means summer is on its way. But August is still more winter than summer. Ask any camper: If you want to camp in winter like it’s summer, there’s only one place in the country and that’s the KwaZulu-Natal coast. Hluhluwe lies 270 km north of Durban and 30 km inland. This small town is more famous for its pineapples than for its campsites, but if you want to avoid a busy beach resort this time of year, Hluhluwe is your answer. (By the way, the tonguetwister Zulu word, Hluhluwe, is pronounced “shloeshloewê”.) The town is next to the iSimangaliso Wetland Park, and it’s difficult to believe the day’s temperature forecast: Cape Town 8–15 °C, Pretoria 7–21 °C, Bloemfontein 2–20 °C… and Hluhluwe? 16–32 °C! So with a T-shirt, shorts and slipslops we set off to Hluhluwe this month. We visited two friendly game farms, Bahati and Bonamanzi, and stayed over one night in iSimangaliso’s False Bay campsite. >
BAHATI CARAVAN PARK AND GAME FARM
Human and animal
Pineapple plantations lie stretched out to the left of the road as you officially enter Hluhluwe’s main road at the first circle. At the fourth circle on the straight stretch of road of less than 2 km, you’re leaving the town again where the road turns left to Sodwana. A dirt road also starts here, but turns off right to the railway track. Bahati is 4km further on the right side of the road. The first thing at a campsite that can cause some irritation is the bathrooms. Luckily these days you see a lot more campsites with private bathrooms – personal ablution facilities for each stand. Bahati is one of these places. For a new place like this – they opened end of last year – they hit the nail on the head from the get-go. Not only are the bathroom facilities decent but you can also choose if you want to pitch camp in your own corner of the bush or out in the open where you share the facilities. Bahati is also a game farm, and apart from the electric fence around the 180 ha piece of land, the campsite isn’t fenced off. So there is no barrier between you and the animals, and before long a duiker walks past your campsite as if you’re a part of his world. There are even two nyala bulls grazing close to the stands, and for a moment you have the opportunity to see this beautiful buck up close.
Choose from three
We arrive at Bahati without a reservation. The electric sliding gate is closed, and on the gate is the owner Annelie Ihlenfeldt’s name and telephone number. She’s gone to town she explains when we phone her, “but keep left directly past the gate and follow the road; signs show the road until you get to the stands,” she says. She opens the gate with her phone and we drive in on a nice compact sand path. The sand path runs about 200–300 m along the wire fence and then swerves to the right into the bush. Even though the dirt road is more than acceptable, it is still rocky. You can choose from three stands when you stop here: the A and B camps, both with similar stands, and the en-suite stands with private bathrooms. It doesn’t look like a single tree was destroyed with the building of the A camp’s six stands in the bush. Moreover, the entire campsite is covered with a neat lawn. (Judging from all the leaves, most trees are evergreen.) The stands are in a big circle next to each other and are numbered, but not cordoned off. It’s also spacious enough that you’re not right on top of other campers. There are three electricity boxes (with standard three-pin sockets) between the six stands, each fastened to a red pole. The few taps are painted blue with a paved section underneath them so you don’t get mud splatters if you quickly want to rinse something off. There are also a few loose-standing braais (with grids). The bathroom building is far left, and it blends in perfectly with the scenery in the background. The finishes range from raw cement to wooden poles. Men and women share the same two separate small bathrooms, each with a shower (with a glass door), ceramic basin (on a concrete slab) and toilet, as well as a mirror. The facilities can’t be neater. There is a sink for dishes in front of the bathroom and there are two separate toilets left of the building. The B camp is across the road and similar to A, except that you camp on >
sand. Three of the stands also have a canopy with a concrete floor next to it, nice if you want to use it instead of your caravan’s awning. The bathrooms are also similar to that of the A camp. The pool is a little bit further down, next to the sand path. It’s more or less as big as a house pool, and has grass around it. There’s shade cloth spun over the shallow end for the little ones, and there are a few grass-roof gazebos if you want to make sausage rolls for the kids. And if you want to braai something in the afternoon next to the pool, there are braai spots with grids. The four en-suite stands are in the bush just past the pool, and are laid out in such a way that you almost can’t see your neighbour. All the stands have two buildings with a concrete floor. Underneath the one canopy, of which two ends are enclosed, is a kitchen with a sink as well as cupboards, and a table with four chairs. The bathroom is on the one end of the other canopy. The shower is spacious and the room also has a toilet, basin and mirror. The roof of the building stretches beyond the floor and is high enough that you can pull your caravan right up to the floor. There’s a three-pin socket in the wall near the bathroom and a built-in braai with grid on the other end of the canopy.
Go for a ride
Annelie comes round later that day to hear if everything is in order. She says you can drive on your own on the farm to see the animals. “You won’t get lost, because all the paths lead to the middle to the dam,” she explains while she draws a square with lines running to the middle in the sand with her forefinger. “You also won’t get stuck. From here, drive further along the sand path to right next to the fence – the wildlife section starts here.” There are 12 types of buck on Bahati, of which we saw seven in an hour – from zebras and black impalas to giraffes and waterbuck.
BONAMANZI GAME RESERVE
On a bigger scale
Bonamanzi is 1.5 km on from Bahati on the dirt road – to a certain extent it’s a bigger version of Bahati. Bonamanzi’s campsite also has both the usual stands as well as those with private bathrooms, but where Bahati is 180 ha, Bonamanzi is closer to 4000 ha. There is a bigger variety of wildlife and you can clearly see that when you stop in front of the gate: A warning sign shows pictures of amongst others a hippo, buffalo, elephant, and rhino. So four of the Big Five walk around here, and just like at Bahati, the stands aren’t cordoned off. A wide sand road runs a bit more than 2 km into the bush to the office, and a neat grass-roof building reminds you of an exclusive lodge. There is a big circle where you can park and turn the caravan around, because the campsite is a kilometre or three away. The office building is decidedly upmarket – as you go through the office door it’s like walking into the foyer of a five-star hotel. A big white marble counter top is on the opposite side of the shiny-tiled room, and to the left a giant buffalo trophy is mounted on the wall. A more modest Zulu shield hangs on the back wall. On the counter 20–30 keys lie in a row as the staff gets ready to welcome visitors. We again arrive without a reservation, and luck is slightly on our side: tonight there are stands available but tomorrow is Friday and Bonamanzi’s campsite is fully booked for the weekend. It’s a week before the winter school holidays start, and judging from the number of campers who support Bonamanzi, it’s a popular place. The receptionist gives us a photocopied map of the reserve and marks the path to the campsite with a felt-tip pen. The map also indicates the paths that you can drive on your own to look for game – mostly in the section around the campsite. So the biggest section of the reserve you can’t explore in your own vehicle. Luckily they offer game drives, and it’s highly recommended that you book. The drive starts from the office, costs R340 p.p., and there must be a minimum of two people. It takes an hour and a half but for R60 more the drive is twice as long. >
Make a U-turn
The campsite is half a kilometre back on the track where the road forks and you keep left; the sand path also gets narrower here. It is, however, still possible for a standard sedan to tow a caravan without getting stuck. Where Bahati has three different campsites, Bonamanzi has four, with a total of 18 stands in the bush. The first four stands are 1.8 km from the fork and it’s also where the pool is. The second two types of stands are half a kilometre further and are laid out next to each other, with the last group of two private stands a bit further. We find a spot in the third group – the Oval camp. These six stands are laid out in a circle around a rectangular facebrick building with their backs against the thickets. All the stands have their own bathroom in the building, but it’s more than just a place to wash: It’s two rooms with the door opening up on to a kitchen. Again, you can see from the quality of the tiles that the owners didn’t scimp. On the kitchen side is a sink and work surface, and the toilet, basin and shower cubicle is next door. The shower curtain does look a bit shabby compared to the rest of the finishes, but you can’t complain about the space. All the stands have a patch of ground but the campsite is mostly covered with grass and has ample shade. The stands also have their own built-in braai and you can see that Bonamanzi cleans these stands daily. The grids are stainless steel and spotless.
EVERYTHING SHINES! Judging from everything at Bonamanzi’s – from the fancy office to the spotless braai grids – you’ll be camping like a king. Most stands have shade with grass and the bathrooms are close.
SET THE STANDARD. Bahati sets a good example with their neat and well-equipped bathrooms. Some of the facilities are shared and some stands have their own.
LOOK AND LISTEN. The private bathrooms are simple yet stylish, and you couldn’t ask for more room. Even though Bonamanzi has four of the Big Five, there’s even more to this place because you learn so much about nature when you go on a game drive.

Signs and wonders: The incredibly beautiful Comet Neowise is now visible to the naked eye and can best be seen just before dawn. According to Spaceweather.com, Comet Neowise is currently shining about as brightly as a 2nd magnitude star. Its core and part of its tail are easy naked-eye objects from dark, clear sites.
Framed by the colours of sunrise, it is arguably the most beautiful comet in many years. But... The last truly Great Comet was Hale-Bopp in 1997. Shining 10 times brighter than Comet NEOWISE does now, Hale-Bopp was visible to the unaided eye for an astonishing 18 months, and its tail stretched as much as 45 degrees across the sky. Comet NEOWISE doesn't come close to those thresholds of splendour.
Comet Neowise is now a worldwide sensation. It will remain a morning comet for the next ~week, then, by mid-month, it will shift to evening skies where casual stargazers can see it without waking at the crack of dawn.
Comet Neowise passed closest to the Sun on July 3, 2020, and if it continues to survive perihelion 0.29 AU (43 million km) from the Sun, it is expected to remain visible to the naked eye in July. By June 10, 2020, as the comet was being lost to the glare of the Sun, it was apparent magnitude 7. When the comet entered the field of view of SOHO LASCO C3 on June 22, 2020, the comet had brightened to magnitude 3.
As of July, Comet Neowise has brightened to magnitude +1, far exceeding the brightness attained by C/2020 F8 (SWAN), and the comet has developed a second tail. One tail is made of dust and the other tail is made of gas. The comet will be less than 20 degrees from the Sun from June 11, 2020, until July 9, 2020. Closest approach to Earth will occur July 23, 2020, at a distance of 0.69 AU (103 million km). This perihelion passage will increase the comet's orbital period from about 4500 years to about 6800 years according to Wikipedia.

Gmail Redesigned: modify Gmail's design
Google likes basic designs that just work. Take a look at their search engine or Gmail to know what I mean. Now you all know that I do not have a problem with basic design because I prefer websites to be usable and speedy instead of shiny and slow.
Update: While many Google products are still designed this way, the company has made changes to several of its products or introduced new ones that don't follow this design principle anymore.
Gmail Redesigned on the other hand is too nice to be ignored. It's a userscript that turns plain old Gmail into a modern looking website that blows your mind away. All you need is the Firefox extension Greasemonkey and the userscript Gmail Redesigned. Once the extension has been installed and the userscript loaded you can visit Gmail to see the changes.
Update: Please note that the script has not been updated for a while. We have removed the link pointing to it, and suggest you check out the Google Redesigned Firefox extension instead which provides design updates for several Google products including Gmail.
The interface turned from the plain white / blue interface to a darker one that is definitely more eye pleasing. Take a look at the before and after screenshot to know what I mean.
It's interesting that development for the userscript began just two weeks ago. It's work in progress, currently two extensions, Better Gmail 2 and Remember The Milk are not compatible but the author promises to make them in future versions. And since he updates almost once a day this is surely going to be soon.
Update: As I said earlier, the script is no longer available, but has been turned into an extension for Firefox. It is maintained by the same company which created the script in first place. If you are using Firefox, this is the way to go to get a different design on Gmail and other Google product pages.
Note that Google introduced themes to Gmail recently as well, but they modify colors only. To access themes, click on the options icon in the top right corner and select themes from the context menu.
There is a dark theme available which reverts the color scheme more or less. Other themes are available, including a high contrast theme, classic themes, HD themes, and custom themes.Advertisement

This is like a super outdated post! It's been 2 mths after the trip. Sorry for those who long for the pictures. Hehe *blush*
Okay let's get down to business and lotsa pictures viewing to do! Two months ago my colleague (ex) in OCBC made a road trip to the Northern region, now ruled by Barisan Rakyat. We left KL at 2am at night and I only know the day and time we depart 24 hrs in advance. Haha =.=
So on our way to our 1st stop:
Driving (accompany the driver to stay awake) at nite is really not easy. But the cool thing is that the PLUS highway is so dark and misty...Oooo... Really misty! I thought it was haze at 1st until Hon Loon asked me to put my hand out.
It's wet! And guess what is cooler? This...
Extincted very long time ago in KL. Ahh my pride! Iswara. It's at the resting area. The we continue our journey and drop by at YC's house in Taiping for bfast. And in no time we reached Kuala Kedah.
We waited for a while in the Jetty as the ferry just left.
Kinda muddy and look at the contrast. Old fisherman boat vs the new jetty.
The attendees of the trip. Me, Hon Loo's two friends, YC, Lai Mun and Yinew (Hon Loon the cameraman)
We slept in the ferry and once we reach the island, we were greeted by this lovely yacht.
Awhh... How good if I was in there instead of this funny smelling ferry.
The Dataran Helang.
After checking in and dinner in Kuah, we went to our 1st stop in the Island:
Gunung Mat Jinjang-RM25 for My Kad holders.
We went for the cable car.
And don't you think that this sign is kinda lost it's way from KL?
The cable car trail. Damn high and it's only supported by two tiangs.
The scenery is just superb.
U can see the shadow of the clouds on the forest. Cool!
Once you reach the top. It seems that you can see Sumatera if the weather is clear.
The temp on the deck is damn cold and this is the bridge from above. We need to walk our way down to that bridge! What happen to the invention of escalators?
Not open during bad weather. Sounds so not safe. *worries*
On the way we saw this.
And this hollow tree. U can see the ground thru it. Wonder how the xylem and phloem work in this case?
The magnificent bridge. And one thing about being a good photographer.
You take good photo for people.
And you get a very not orientated one in return. (This is the best of the worst.)
All of us at the bridge.
Then we decended the mount and went to the yatch club at the bottom of the mount:
The Yacht Club-FOC
The cosy place.
Restaurants along the way.
My dream yacht.
A russian restaurant. Very Sharapova looking. (The only Russian I know)
Mahathir's The Loaf.
Made out of real bread! Don't pray pray. (Mahathir meng-action at Abdullah)
The Jalur Gemilang which travels around the world.
After chilling a while there we head back to our hotel:
Langkasuka Hotel-One of the affordable hotel in Langkawi
I rushed back just to see the sunset! *haha*
Small hermit crabs
kennychoo.com ad all the way from Langkawi.
Dead squid by the beach. BN?
The nice pool.
The romantic poolside. That's all for now, more to come. I shall end the post with this...
And this is what we found in the bathroom. Swtness. For those who dunno, gayung is the plastic ladle for bathing.

Seminar: Flexible Endoscopic Surgery Robots
Fri, June 22, 2018, 14:00-15:00 QMUL Mile End campus, People's Palace building, room LG01 (basement)
Abstract: This talk will present research on flexible surgical robotics of KAIST center for future Medical robotics. We believe that surgical robots should be developed considering the benefits to surgeons with easy and intuitive control, to patients with minimum invasiveness and fast recovery, and to hospitals with affordable cost and reduction of surgery time. In order to meet these requirements, firstly, EasyEndo has been developed for solo-endoscopic procedures. By attaching a motor pack to a conventional endoscope, EasyEndo allows easy and intuitive endoscopy without assistants. Second, Portable Endoscopic Tool Handler (PETH) has been developed for more advanced procedures with additional surgical arms attached to the conventional endoscope. Several ex-vivo experiments have shown the improved performance of conventional endoscope and the feasibility of PETH. Third, K-FLEX has been developed that can perform dexterous robotic surgery through a flexible pathway by adding small robot arms to the flexible endoscope. An attractive feature of these robot arms is that they can exert a great deal of force to lift organs and tissues with specially designed constraint joint mechanism. This endoscopic surgical robot system will provide minimal invasiveness for patients, and widen the robotic surgery area with more accessibility. With these robot technologies, we believe that surgeons and endoscopists can conduct a challenging surgery that has not been tried before. Based on our research experience over the last 20 years, we are planning to commercialize our research outputs. Since the current market of endoscopes is much larger than that of laparoscopic surgical robots, we will pursue to commercialize our flexible robot technologies that will extend endoscope application from conventional endoscopy procedure to robotic surgery.

The Centre for Advanced Robotics, Queen Mary University of London, 10th and 11th of September 2018
Robotic surgery is one of the most appealing fields of modern robotics. With over 3 decades history, more than 3.800 systems installed worldwide and over 600.000 robot-assisted interventions conducted per year, the field of robotic surgery is considered well-established. Despite these impressive figures and increasing popularity in research labs all over the world, the list of technological advances that made it into the operating room (OR) during this last decade is fairly limited. Long expected techniques such as 3D reconstruction, motion compensation, virtual guidance, haptic feedback, under study in many labs all over the planet did not make their appearance into the market yet.
CRAS seeks to give a clear view on the status and recent trends of assistive surgical robotic technologies. It aims to support and propose concrete measures to accelerate research and innovation in this field. CRAS originates from efforts to collaborate among European groups to achieve a critical mass in surgical robotics. As such the workshop continue on discussions started at ERF in Lyon and at ICRA in Karlsruhe, and previous meetings at Verona and Genoa. More in particular CRAS attempts to identify the steps necessary to stimulate cooperation between research and industry, across national borders and different surgical robotic projects to take advantage of the growing attention and support for research and exploitation in this interesting and growing field.


Moldova Weekly #27: Pax Dodonica, into the wonderloan, prosecutor's fortunes
Foreign Minister Aureliu Ciocoi drew the ire of veterans and the opposition last week by claiming the Russian Army had intervened in the 1991-1992 Transnistrian conflict only to prevent bloodshed. PAS and PDA even registered a no-confidence vote against Ciocoi. It is generally acknowledged that the Russian Army helped the separatists and without its help there would be no separatist statelet in Transnistria. For the veterans who fought in that conflict, Ciocoi’s words amount to betrayal. President Dodon however defended the minister and suggested Ciocoi had spoked about the peace-keeping mission, although the chief diplomat had explicitly said “the Russian Army”.
Instead, the president took aim towards the West. He accused some European ambassadors of acting like members of opposition parties PAS and PDA and warned them to do their job more impartially. Igor Dodon thinks the diplomats are reporting inaccurate and disproportionately negative information about the current Moldovan government so as to thwart its efforts of accessing foreign funding. He also asked the intelligence services to look into the foreign funding of NGOs. Dodon claims civil society organizations might be fomenting dissent at the behest of external (Western) agents.
He also lambasted Moldova’s ambassadors abroad for not doing enough to promote Moldova’s image and attract foreign investors. Experts quickly answered that the fault lies not with the ambassadors, but with the domestic conditions in Moldova. Prime Minister Chicu later announced that some ambassadors have been recalled, but the official reason is that either their terms ended or that they will be redeployed somewhere else.
Into the Wonderloan
Prime Minister Chicu says the first installment of the much-advertised Russian loan will be transferred in early spring. Some sources claim Moldova could receive $200 million with the first installment. The head of the government, previously a critic of the Sandu Cabinet’s “panhandling” for foreign financial help, is now under pressure to deliver for President Dodon ahead of next fall’s presidential elections and will likely take any help he can get. As an adviser to Igor Dodon, Chicu had criticized the IMF, but now has resumed negotiations with the Fund and praised their “flexibility”.
Igor Dodon has also been actively working to free more funds for his prime minister. After a widely criticized idea to take money from the National Bank’s reserves, the president now suggested the National Bank should redirect part of its profits to repay the debt accumulated after the massive bank fraud, aka “the theft of the century”. The measure, in Dodon’s view, should ease the burden on the public budget. Former finance minister Natalia Gavriliță says this is only a trick to free up some funds for the government in an electoral year. The true solution would be to recover the stolen money and use them to repay the debt.
Even though the Russian loan is yet to materialize, Minister of Infrastructure and Economy Anatol Usatîi already announced tenders for the repair of roads with that money. PDA MP Alexandru Slusari threatens Usatîi with a no-confidence vote because the Ministry didn’t also advertise the tenders in the EU Journal. While Usatîi claims only tenders that involve European money can be advertised in the EU Journal, Slusari thinks Usatîi is in a hurry to start the roadworks before the electoral campaign starts.
President Dodon also visited the Chișinău Arena, said it was 99% ready and promised it would open on May 1. One of the more controversial issues with the Arena is that the Filip Cabinet alloted 60 hectares for its construction, although the complex itself occupies only 10 hectares. Fueling fears about a scheme to snatch those lands from public property, Igor Dodon suggested the government should sell them to pay for the construction of the Arena.
For a Socialist, the president is a big fan of privatization. Recently, he asked the government to sell the state-owned company Metalferos, which is a national scrap-metal monopoly. After opposition protests, a group of civil society activists also came out against this proposal. They want a temporary ban on privatizations. According to them, Metalferos was previously a source of illegal money for Vlad Plahotniuc’s Democrats and selling it to a private owner would wash away all traces of previous schemes.
Meanwhile, the MPs looked into the privatization of tobacco company Tutun-CTC under the Democrats. Although the Parliament didn’t find grounds to rescind the contract, it ascertained that the company was mismanaged in order to drive down its value before its sale and called for those previously in charge of Tutun-CTC to be held accountable.
The investigative paper Ziarul de Gardă also looked into how the government is recovering the money from the bank fraud. In the case of the people already convicted, whose assets were seized by the government, the sale of these assets is going very slow. Sometimes they are undervalued and sometimes they are even sold to companies belonging to the family of the convicted. In the case of former prime minister Vlad Filat, who recently came out of jail, none of the seized assets have been sold. The bailiff supposed to carry out the sale and the Tax Service are passing the responsibility onto each other and have even gone to court. The only case where the authorities acted swiftly was that of Veaceslav Platon, seizing and selling his shares in two Moldovan banks. However, there’s a chance Platon might overturn his sentence.
Veaceslav Platon might benefit from Prosecutor General Alexandru Stoianoglo case against the suspended chief of the Anticorruption Prosecutor’s Office Viorel Morari. The latter is accused of tampering with an investigation in order to protect former Democrat leader Vlad Plahotniuc, now a fugitive abroad, and to jail his rival - Platon. If this proves to be true, it might help Platon’s appeal. The prosecutors are also looking into Morari’s energy family business, accusing him of money laundering and illegal gains.
Meanwhile, anticorruption prosecutor Roman Statnîi is the latest prosecutor to quit. Statnîi was in charge of the investigation into former Supreme Justice Court judge Oleg Sternioală and had publicly spoke that Sternioală might use his connection to get back at him. After his resignation, Statnîi refused to make any statements. Deschide.md wrote that Statnîi is one of the prosecutors asked by the new leadership to resign willingly because of their previous misdeeds.
Honey, I shrunk the pensions
Ion Chicu’s government also drew fierce criticism from PAS and PDA for its proposed pension update. Opposition MPs say instead of increasing pensions by 6% once a year, the government will simply increase them by ~3% twice, despite the president’s promise that the double increase would raise pensions by more than 10%. Social policies have been a bone of contention between PAS and PDA, on one side, and the Socialists on the other. When the Socialists and the Democrats allied to bring down the Maia Sandu Cabinet, they accused her of disregarding social policies. However, her supporters say the government was dismissed just as it submitted a “budget of solidarity”, which would have addressed precisely those issues. Now, PAS and PDA both say that Igor Dodon’s hand-picked government greatly overpromised and severely underdelivered.
Meanwhile, the Socialists and the Democrats have approved 30% raises for MPs. Although the budget draft proposed by the government did not include this raise, which was an amendment by PDM MP Vladimir Cebotari, Prime Minister Chicu defended it by suggesting the MPs can spend the extra money on charity. After strong public backlash, the Socialists say they will cancel the amendment and restore MP wages to the previous amount.
Things between former ACUM allies PAS and PDA are getting sourer each day. After PAS’s debacle with the nomination of its candidate in the Hîncești constituency, PDA announced its support for Grigore Cobzac. He was ACUM’s candidate in the previous election, but this time around PAS nominated former justice minister Olesea Stamate, claiming Cobzac didn’t want to run. However, Cobzac announced he would run as an independent and claimed PAS were lying. PDA’s decision to support him angered PAS MPs, who vented their frustration on social media, accusing PDA of supporting a traitor.
The tension is even greater when it comes to the presidential elections next fall. PDA are so far unwilling to support PAS leader Maia Sandu and have called for a joint candidate of the center-right without party affiliation. If such a candidate isn’t found, PDA will put forward its own candidate, most likely Andrei Năstase. After his defeat in the Chișinău mayoral election, Năstase and PDA’s ratings are pretty low compared to Sandu and PAS’s. However, PDA called their former allies not to get high on polls. For now, Igor Dodon is the clear front-runner.
Meanwhile, PAS has proposed a “pact of non-aggression” to PDA and other center-right parties, an agreement to abstain from attacks and criticisms against one another. The proposal was received rather coldly. PDA deputy chief Alexandru Slusari read it as PAS giving up on the idea of a joint candidate. President Dodon didn’t miss the opportunity to make fun in his characteristically sexist way of the opposition’s squabbles. He labelled Năstase and the others’ refusal to sign Maia Sandu’s pact as unmanly behavior towards a lady. “Who was on top, who was under, who assaulted who?,” he went on.

Daily US Times: All but five Senate Republicans voted in favor of an effort to dismiss former President Donald Trump’s historic second impeachment trial on Tuesday, making clear a conviction of Mr Trump for “incitement of insurrection” after the deadly Capitol siege on January 6 is unlikely.
While the Republicans did not succeed in ending the impeachment trial before it began, the test vote made clear that Donald Trump still has enormous sway over his party as he becomes the first former president to be tried for impeachment. Many Republicans have criticized Mr Trump’s role in the Capitol attack — before which he told his supporters to “fight like hell” to overturn his defeat — but most of them have rushed to defend him in the trial.
South Dakota Sen. John Thune, the No. 2 Republican in the Senate, said after the vote: “I think this was indicative of where a lot of people’s heads are.”
Late Tuesday, the presiding officer at the trial, 80-year-old Senator Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., was taken to the hospital for observation after not feeling well at his office. The senator was examined by the attending physician of Capitol, who recommended he be taken to the hospital out of an abundance of caution, he said. Carle said later Tuesday that Leahy had been sent home “after a thorough examination” and was looking forward to getting back to work.
Leahy presided over the impeachment trial’s first procedural vote, a 55-45 tally that saw the Senate set aside an objection from Kentucky Senator Rand Paul that would have declared the impeachment proceedings unconstitutional and dismissed the trial.

Rising young American trumpeter Ambrose Akinmusire is the descendant of an illustrious lineage headed by Miles Davis, Freddie Hubbard and Wynton Marsalis. His CV is already remarkable: graduate of the Manhattan School of Music, winner of prestigious jazz competitions, young buck in the legendary Blue Note stable, where he recently recorded his eagerly-awaited second album, the imagined savior is far easier to paint. Akinmusire returns after his breathtaking 2012 Gesù performance.


Humans have sent several unmanned probes to Mars and plans are in the works to mount crewed missions to the Red Planet within the next couple of decades. But it's extremely expensive and fuel-intensive to put a spacecraft in orbit around Marsand voyages have to be scheduled for narrow "launch windows" anticipating an arrival date when Earth and its neighbor are at their closest to each other.
That could all change if a new technique for reaching Mars called "ballistic capture" proves to be possible.
The new method, described in a new research paper by Edward Belbruno of Princeton Francesco Topputo of Milan's Polytechnic University, involves placing a spacecraft in the orbital path of Mars, ahead of the planet as it makes its way around the sun. The spacecraft then decreases its speed slowly, until "Mars eventually creeps up on the spacecraft, gravitationally snagging it into a planetary orbit," according to Scientific American(Opens in a new window).
This technique would eliminate the "big burn" of fuel needed to brake a spacecraft and swing it into orbit when it arrives in the proximity of Mars, according to the researchers.
"This brute force approach to attaining orbit, called a Hohmann transfer, has served historically deep-pocketed space agencies well enough. But in an era of shrinking science budgets, the Hohmann transfer's price tag and inherent riskiness look limiting," Scientific American noted.
Additional fuel needed to fire retrorockets for braking costs a lot of moneyand takes up valuable room in a spacecraft. The proposal for ballistic capture by Belbruno and Topputo, who have submitted their co-authored paper to the journal Celestial Mechanics and Dynamical Astronomy, could pay immediate dividends if used, both in reducing fuel costs and allowing for more materials to be carried aboard a spacecraft headed to Mars.
Ballistic capture could also mean that we could launch missions to Mars pretty much whenever we wanted, according to the scientists. Using a Hohmann transfer to attain Mars orbit, space agencies now must wait to launch spacecraft until Earth and Mars are in an optimal orbital alignment, which only happens every 26 months.
If we could practically launch spacecraft outside of that window using the proposed low-energy transfer method, it would mean no more Mars missions being delayed for two years at a time.
"Avoiding the need to send the rocket up during rare launch windows would also be a big deal because launch delays are notoriously frequent," Scientific American noted.
Belbruno has been working for several decades on the physics of ballistic capture, which takes advantage of larger gravitational bodies to "capture" spacecraft in a "delicate dance," as the scientist described it.
The method was first used in 1991 by the Japanese to send their Hiten spacecraft to the Moon, according to the journal, but "pulling off a similar maneuver at Mars (or anywhere else) seemed impossible because the Red Planet's velocity is much higher than the Moon's."
Now Belbruno and Topputo believe they have figured out a way to make it work. Working with colleagues to develop new ballistic capture models in research funded by Boeing, the pair posit that you could "[s]ail ... a spacecraft into an orbital path anywhere from a million to even tens of millions of kilometers ahead of the Red Planet ... [and] make it possible for Mars (and its spacetime bowl) to ease into the spacecraft's vicinity, thus subsequently letting the spacecraft be ballistically captured," Scientific American reported.
"It's an eye-opener," James Green, director of NASA's Planetary Science Division, told the journal. "It could be a pretty big step for us and really save us resources and capability, which is always what we're looking for."

State your years experience fishing the rivers.
And your personal most effective baits on opener steel and fall run Salmon.
Late fall steel.
Posted 24 September 2017 - 12:29 PM
My most successful spring opener baits.
Sponge ,usually Orange or yellow.
More double digit days than I can count and second would be single egg.
Again sponge . Second choice , the more recent pinkie.
Fall steel .
Posted 24 September 2017 - 12:33 PM
Best bait for opener, fresh roe bags. Recently adding beads which help under right conditions
Salmon well.. fire tiger style spoon / rapala
Posted 24 September 2017 - 04:17 PM
Posted 25 September 2017 - 12:45 AM
Been river fishing 6 years now.
Bait? never used any. Opener steel- black stoneflies, pheasant tail nymphs, san juan worms
Fall salmon-I'm still chasing resi's... then straight into ---> fall steel.
Fall steel-marabou spey flies, has to have some black in it.
Posted 25 September 2017 - 07:24 AM
Just simply pull a piece off Paul.
TI how do you rig the sponge. I’m curious. Do you trim it to make it look like egg?
Roughly the size of a single egg.
Shape it with your fingers or if you carry scissors a quick trim.
Penetrate with hook.
Posted 25 September 2017 - 09:20 AM
I've been salt water fishing since I was 7....started fresh water 8 years ago....salmon, stripping streamers. trout, night crawler.
steel, flies, roe bags beads...centerpin or fly fishing.
I can't say there's one particular offering that stands out, under right circumstance and time in the water. all of them work.
confidence is key.
Posted 25 September 2017 - 09:35 AM
I use nymphs for steelhead
Big streamers for salmon
Posted 25 September 2017 - 11:07 AM
This year will mark 15 years fishing fishing the anadromous species..
Spring my favorite fly is this dumb looking black and gold nymph I found in a river 12 or 13 years ago that seemed easy enough to tie. It has become my best producing fly and those of you that fish with me know I have one box full of these dumb things.
Fall run salmon; skein, end of story.
Late fall steelhead, if im on the pin you cant beat roe. If im on the fly I tend to be confident in a black and blue hobo spey.
Posted 25 September 2017 - 04:15 PM
30 years now but I don't look it eh , I grew up at a home that backed right onto a nice stretch of river that had decent runs every year so my brother and I were always out there.
I started by fly fishing when I was a kid but then grew up got old and got a boat so I rarely fly fish anymore.
Ultimate lure was the panther martin in orange it just caught everything. But like anything else knowing how to read a river was key.
Posted 26 September 2017 - 10:41 AM
Mostly Float fishing for me, been out of the game for about a decade. Use everything for bait and when nothing works or to lazy to tie flies or roe, use worms , worms have never failed me. I recall a magical time in the early 90's when the streams of Lake Ontario's northern Shores would fill with Brown Trout after the Salmon runs and before the Steelhead Runs. Like you I await the rains, wish everyone good luck and good Karma, stay safe.
Posted 26 September 2017 - 12:05 PM
I started fly fishing first, in the mid-eighties, then float fishing later, in the early nineties.
I think my best pattern for the spring opener was a hares ear, with or without bead head, depending on the flow.
In the fall, my favourite pattern by far was the glow bug. Deadly.
On the occasion that I float fish, I will use a spawn bag or small worm and a stonefly dropper.
Posted 30 September 2017 - 12:06 PM
Take advantage of these tips and we'll all be rewarded.
Have a great fall season guys.
Posted 01 October 2017 - 11:31 AM
Michigan Cricket is my top salmon fly
Old school swing.
Heads up. That'll work.

Can anyone tell me who should be overseeing my treatment/s, I've had repeated stones that I can't pass due to a stricted ureters, since 2006 5 in total both kidneys, but left more frequently, together with lithotripsy 4 treatments which were unsuccessful, and 3 surgeries to remove stones both with laser, and basket, then subsequently stented which I found agonizing to cope with, and I've always considered myself to have a high pain threshold! I was recently told I now have Nephrocalcinosis in my left kidney, I don't have a diagnosis for MSK because I've never been given an IVP! It's only after looking on this site this has been suggested to my. My urologist is quite dismissive of the pain I have saying 'you don't get pain unless you have a migrating stone' am I going crazy I frequently ask myself! Anyway should I be seeing a Nephrologist rather than a Urologist...and my calcium deposits are in the 'meaty' part of my kidney (mu Uro's description, not mine, lol) Can anyone please advise, I also have a history treated by my Nephrologist of Nephrotic Syndrome, I am happy to say I've not had an episode of that since 2006. I would appreciate any advice/information I can get.......Thanks - Jan
wow your story sounds alot like mine... You should probably see both docotrs. I do. The urologist will deal with the stones when they are migrating, causing problems in urinary tract etc... but usually won't deal with the actual kidney disease part. A nephrologist will deal with the MSK itself, if you truly have it, and will do testing of the kidneys etc. It does get kind of confusing. My nephrologist won't even give me pain meds if I have a stone passing...I have to see the urol. for that. However so far I have really had a hard time finding a doctor who has a decent bedside manner and who knows what they are doing! I wish you luck I know how hard it is to deal with these things. Try seeing the urologist and maybe they can refer you to a neph.
Thanks so much kim I already have a nephrologist for another condition (Nephrotic Syndrome) which I've had 3 episodes of, but since 2006 have been ok. So I'll call and make an appt tomorrow, I see you're from Ohio, I now live in the UK but I lived in Summit County, Oh for almost 7yrs! Small world isn't it!
Sorry I missed your initial post... going through a lot right now. You are NOT alone,
the constant pain is caused by the calcifications in the meat or collecting ducts of your kidney. Read through the health pages, they are amazing and old posts. You will hear your story repeated over and over. I also have some articles that might help you get your doctor to listen to you as well.
can click on the link at the top right corner of this page. I used to have it all saved in a draft file so I could easily
post the links but my computer cleared them., however if you search MSK AND PAIN I am sure the many posts I have made previously should come up. Though the cause of the pain can vary, for many of us a low level chronic infection has set up with the stones
in the kidney,
There are several steps we have found helpful toward dealing with the pain issues. Have they check your Vit D levels? If not request
strongly that they do. I can personally tell you I have an extreme case and still live on
2 full strength antibiotics which I have had to do now for over 5 years BUT since having Dr. Wolf's procedure and treating my low Vit D, this spring marks 2 years with no IV"s and my pain level is controllable! There are also some natural ways to treat a possible UTI which can help, if not antibiotics long term also can make a difference to some.
I have a website for IC support called MOARKIC on it there is also a menu item for MSK, that has an article I wrote some time ago on MSK and Biofilms that explains the
infection issues. If you send me a private message with your e-mail address, I would be glad to send you some direct links and articles you can take to your doctor! We can not post those openly here!
I look forward to hearing from you! Hang in there your not alone!

The boathouse on the lake is located very close to the hotel (Chateau Lake Louise) so you can roll out of bed, walk out of the room and be set up in minutes (my way of shooting). I almost had the whole lake to myself as there were few photographers to be seen. The morning was very still and the water was like glass. The boathouse is cast in shadows in the early morning and is a subject better suited for the evening sun. That being said, I thoroughly enjoyed the serenity and the scene.

One year after the creation of the three-digit crisis hotline known as 988, officials say the next step is expanding awareness and local crisis care.
More than 4 million people have called, texted or chatted the suicide prevention hotline in the year since its creation, according to Laurel Stine, executive vice president and chief policy officer for the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention.
She estimates that number will grow in the next fiscal year to 9 million contacts.
“We have to be mindful that Rome was not built in a day,” she said. “We’ve had a fragmented mental health behavioral health crisis system for a number of years.”
Since July 16, 2022, dialing or texting 988 directs individuals to the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline — where they can speak to a trained crisis counselor and be connected to resources related to mental health, emotional distress, grief or substance issues for themselves or a loved one.
Mental health experts say the implementation of the universal, simplified number is the first step to ensuring broader access to crisis care and subsequent support or stabilization.
“I think from a state level and a federal level we really were focused on implementation,” Monica Johnson, director of the 988 & Behavioral Health Crisis Coordinating Office at the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, told CQ Roll Call.
Johnson, who took on the role in January after leading implementation on a state level, said the next step will be educating and expanding awareness about the tools that exist.
Last year’s U.S. launch spurred Canada to take similar steps: Canada’s own national 988 implementation is set for Nov. 30, 2023.
The process of building a comprehensive crisis care system for mental health is no easy feat given logistical and budgetary restrictions and unforeseen circumstances. The widespread adoption of 911 in the 1960s and ’70s was a yearslong process.
“I think 988 has really provided a catalyst for the entire field to think about the crisis continuum,” said Kelly Clarke, vice president of the 988 Lifeline at Vibrant Emotional Health, which administers the line. “We want to make sure that that continuum works in collaboration with each part of the continuum — that we don’t have sectors that are working in silos.”
In the first year, the lifeline reported nearly 5 million contacts through calls, chats and texts – or double the previous year through the 10-digit number, including 1 million to the Veterans Crisis Line, which military members, veterans and their families can reach by dialing 988 and pressing option 1.
Compared to before the launch, texts increased by 1135 percent, chats increased by 141 percent and calls increased 46 percent. SAMHSA said average answer time dropped from 2 minutes and 39 seconds to 41 seconds.
Data on the nation’s mental health crisis, particularly since the pandemic, has been stark. For example, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention data published in February found almost one-third of teen girls “seriously considered” suicide in 2021.
But Johnson said that so far, the existing infrastructure has had the capacity to support the increased demand.
“This is not a ‘one and done,’ so I imagine the demand is going to continue to increase as people become more aware of the number,” she said.
SAMHSA plans to prioritize education and equity going into the second year, by educating more individuals about the lifeline and when it can be used instead of a 911 emergency call for paramedic or police assistance.
Stine emphasized the need for outreach to groups including rural areas, unhoused individuals and tribal communities.
This year, Vibrant and SAMHSA aim to roll out a video calling option for deaf and hard-of-hearing individuals who communicate using American Sign Language.
“We’ll continue to look for opportunities to make sure that it is equitable. We have those conversations with our federal partners every day now, as well as our advocacy, community and other partners,” said Johnson.
Advocates have praised the hotline and its ability to accommodate an influx of calls as a launch pad for expanding mental health resources.
“I think we’ve seen bipartisan support for this work and think we’ve seen that federally … as well [as] locally in states,” Johnson said.
The White House budget seeks $836 million for 988 efforts for fiscal 2024 — a $334 million increase from current enacted levels. It also seeks $100 million for mobile crisis response, which are rapid behavioral health assessments and interventions. That request is $80 million more than current spending. Neither chamber has released a Labor-HHS-Education spending bill yet.
Senate Labor-HHS-Education Appropriations Subcommittee Chair Tammy Baldwin, D-Wis., said she is “hopeful” despite “limitations we’ve seen because of the debt deal” that they’ll be able to prioritize funding for 988, SAMHSA and mental health research.
Baldwin, who co-sponsored the law that designated 988 as the national suicide and crisis hotline, said Wisconsin’s call center went from answering about 1,000 calls a month in 2021 to 4,500 calls a month following the launch.
“We cannot let our guard down. We have to continue to invest in this proven tool to save Americans lives,” she said.
Baldwin also emphasized the need to meet specialized needs of certain populations at higher risk for suicide, such as farmers and farm workers who face increased stress, isolation and financial constraints and live in more rural areas. She said they are working to ensure farmer mental health is prioritized in this year’s farm bill.
Rep. Tony Cardenas, D-Calif., meanwhile, plans to reintroduce legislation providing federal guidance to and authorizing funding for state and local crisis services and call centers.
As with any major launch, the launch of 988 has not been without hiccups. The lifeline experienced an almost day-long outage in December 2022 caused by a cyberattack.
Separate bills seek to beef up the lifeline from cybersecurity threats and increase reporting requirements to identify future vulnerabilities.
State-level action to support the rollout has taken different forms.
So far, eight states have passed legislation adding a telecom fee to phone bills, similar to 911, to fund 988 crisis efforts, according to the National Alliance on Mental Illness.
Stine said work needs to continue to strengthen the 988 call centers and build capacity for mobile crisis response as well as stabilization centers, all of which will require sustained funding.
“That means there’s a lot of states that still need to announce the legislation, whether it’s telecom fees, which is a sustainable source of funding, or build out a source of funding that’s comprehensive in scope,” said Stine.
Advocates also see an opportunity to do more.
“In our ideal world, comprehensive state legislation would not just include a fee. It would also include detailed language about how the state will take up its Medicaid option and how it will require commercial insurance reimbursement,” said Lauren Finke, a policy director at The Kennedy Forum, a mental health organization founded by former Rep. Patrick J. Kennedy. “We haven’t seen much of that.”
The 2021 COVID-19 relief law allowed states to seek enhanced federal Medicaid funding for covering mobile crisis services. Finke wants more states to pursue this option.
“That’s federal money being left on the table,” she said.
Finke also said states should enact stronger legislation and enforcement mechanisms to require commercial insurers to cover emergency behavioral health services. Washington state, she said, took steps last year to ensure that plans must adhere to federal and state parity requirements for emergency crisis services.
This week, California Gov. Gavin Newsom also signed the state budget for 2023-24 that would strengthen coverage of crisis behavioral care.
“We think you can do it with existing federal levers, but of course it makes it much easier when states both take actions to clarify that and really take action to require those core services be covered,” Finke said.
If you or someone you know is facing a mental health crisis, please call the toll-free, 24-hour 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline at 9-8-8 to be connected to a trained counselor.

After the boycott they declared on supermarket chain Shefa Shuk several months ago dealt a devastating financial blow to the company, the ultra-Orthodox Committee for the Sanctity of Shabbat has now turned its attention to Shufersal.
The large retail chain is currently in negotiations to buy 20% of book store chain Steimatzky, which operates several branches on Shabbat, and Ynet has learned that the rabbinic committee is already deliberating how the haredi public should regard Shufersal once the deal is finalized. One of Shufersal's subsidiaries is Yesh, a supermarket chain for the ultra-Orthodox sector.
The committee is not only concerned by the fact that Steimatzky keeps some stores open on the weekend; the rabbis also hold Steimatzky responsible for mass desecration of the Shabbat during the launching of the seventh Harry Potter book in Israel on a Friday night last year.
The committee's secretary, Rabbi Yitzhak Goldknopf, told Ynet that Shufersal's owner Nochi Dankner would be wise to reconsider the deal. He claimed that 50% of Shufersal's customers were ultra-Orthodox, and added, "It's no secret that this is a very sensitive period in this regard, and all the rabbis are now fighting for the sanctity of the Shabbat."
A spokesman for Shufersal said in response that the chain was in initial talks with Steimatzky regarding a possible acquisition of 20% of the company. He stressed that "the Shufersal chain has made an unequivocal decision, upon the instruction of majority shareholder Nochi Dankner, not to sell food on Shabbat and therefore all its branches are closed on Shabbat."

Background to the war in Israel and its impact on the economy
The war in Israel is having a significant impact on the country's economy, particularly as a result of military spending and the destruction of infrastructure. These economic impacts call for strategic thinking on how to finance the war and support the businesses and individuals affected.
Importance of tax strategies to finance the war economy
Tax strategies play a crucial role in financing Israel's wartime economy. Measures such as tax increases, tax incentives and optimal management of fiscal resources are essential to sustain the economy and ensure financial stability during this difficult period.
Public finance and economic resource mobilization
The war in Israel highlights the importance of public finances and the mobilization of economic resources to support the country's economy. This section focuses on the measures taken to support businesses impacted by the war, the impact of the war on financial markets and the consequences for the Israeli economy.

Emergency aid plan approved by the Knesset to support entrepreneurs and employees affected by the war in GAZA. The amount and objectives of this aid plan are designed to provide financial support to businesses and workers directly affected by the conflict. However, some critics point to the limits of this aid plan, considering it insufficient to cover the real needs of the companies and individuals concerned.
The impact of war on financial markets
The war in Israel is also having a significant impact on financial markets, with increased investment in the defense sector. Investors are looking to take advantage of the opportunities offered by the conflict, but this can also lead to uncertainty and fluctuations in the financial markets. Market expectations and reactions to the war vary, with some investors adopting a cautious approach while others seek to capitalize on the situation.
Consequences for the Israeli economy
The war in Israel is causing disruption and economic hardship for many businesses and individuals. Damaged infrastructure, business closures and job losses are having a negative impact on the country's economy. In the face of these challenges, the state plays a crucial role in supporting the economy and ensuring financial stability. Fiscal measures and emergency aid plans are examples of actions taken by the government to help businesses and individuals affected by the war.
Tax strategies in wartime
In times of war, tax strategies play a crucial role in financing conflict-related expenditure and sustaining the country's economy. This section will look at raising taxes to finance the war, providing tax incentives and managing tax resources to best effect.
Raising taxes to finance the war
One of the main fiscal strategies in wartime is to raise taxes to finance conflict-related expenditure. Examples of tax increases could include higher income tax rates, taxes on goods and services, or taxes on financial transactions. These increases have an impact on taxpayers and businesses, who face higher tax burdens in times of war.
So what are the practical solutions?
The tax department isn't closing the door today on where the country's missing billions will come from. It has been suggested that some of the costly tax exemptions granted to the public be reduced, including tax benefits on Keren Ichtalmout deposits, tax points for parents of children, and more.
However, according to tax experts, there are other sources of revenue and different measures that could enrich the state coffers. Among these measures, the experts mention:
- The introduction of a voluntary declaration, enabling citizens to report money they have hidden from the government without fear of criminal prosecution.
- Tax relief when funds are repatriated to the country.
- And a proposal unpopular with the public - the cancellation of the VAT on foreign online purchases up to $75.
Among the examples cited above, which would involve making a new voluntary declaration procedure, the Director of Tax Administration revealed that he intended to promote this approach with the Ministry of Justice. In previous voluntary declaration procedures, the state collected around 153 million shekels under the procedure that ended in 2019, and over 3.5 billion shekels under the procedures applied between 2014 and 2016. As a result, the Tax Authority sees this as a fast and efficient way of injecting money into the country.
The voluntary declaration procedure, in which the state has recently taken steps, has succeeded in bringing a wide audience of Israeli citizens to declare previously undeclared income and funds. Beyond this, the voluntary declaration process widens the scope of the circle of taxpayers even for future tax years. Thus, as part of this process, the state benefits from an increase in current collections and an expected increase in the future."
Release of retained earnings
Another measure that could inject tens or even hundreds of millions into the state coffers is the "Libération des bénéfices non distribués" operation. This operation made in 2017, during which the State allowed companies to release accumulated profits in the form of dividends with a reduced tax payment. Under this operation, companies distributed dividends totaling around 35 billion shekels and paid a total tax of 8.75 billion shekels. The amount recovered by this operation is well above the initial estimate of around one billion shekels.
It is undeniable that a one-off reduction in the tax rate, for example from 33% to 25% for a limited and short period, will encourage a large public of majority shareholders to make distributions as mentioned and in non-negligible amounts. The same reasoning also applies to facilitating the import of foreign dividends into Israel. This could be used to replenish the state's coffers. Many Israeli companies avoid repatriating trapped profits from Israeli-owned foreign subsidiaries because of the obligation to pay full or partial tax (due to credit mechanisms).
Introduction of tax incentives
As well as raising taxes, governments can introduce tax incentives to encourage investment and support companies in difficulty. For example, tax benefits can be granted to foreign investors who bring capital into the country in times of war.
Optimal management of tax resources
Optimal management of tax resources is essential to ensure a country's financial stability in times of war. Expert accountancy firms play a crucial role in this management, helping companies and individuals to navigate the complex and changing tax environment. The services offered by these firms include business set-up, accounting, tax declaration and banking services, enabling companies to concentrate on their business while meeting their tax obligations.
In conclusion, wartime fiscal strategies are essential for financing conflict-related expenditure and sustaining the country's economy. Increased taxes, tax incentives and optimal management of fiscal resources are all approaches that can be implemented to ensure financial stability during wartime.
Outlook for the future
The war in Israel raises important questions about the future of financing the war economy and the country's economic stability. This section looks at the role of fiscal strategies in financing the war economy, and the challenges of ensuring economic stability in wartime.
The role of tax strategies in financing the war economy
Fiscal strategies play a crucial role in financing the war economy, providing essential financial resources to support conflict-related spending and ensure the country's economic stability. Increased taxes, tax incentives and optimal management of fiscal resources are all strategies that can be implemented to finance the war economy and ensure financial stability in times of war.
Challenges to economic stability in wartime
The challenges of ensuring economic stability in wartime include the need to maintain a balance between the financing requirements of the war and the needs of businesses and individuals affected by the conflict. This involves finding solutions to minimize the impact of tax and duty increases on taxpayers and businesses, while ensuring that fiscal resources are used efficiently and equitably. In addition, it is crucial to support struggling businesses and encourage investment to stimulate economic growth and job creation, even in times of war.
In conclusion, the outlook for the future highlights the importance of tax strategies to finance Israel's war economy and ensure the country's economic stability in times of war. The challenges ahead are many, but with proper tax planning and the support of expert accountants, companies and individuals can navigate this complex and uncertain environment with greater confidence.
Strategic tax support
In summary, Israel's wartime fiscal strategies include raising taxes, providing tax incentives and optimizing the management of fiscal resources. These approaches help to finance conflict-related expenditure and support the country's economy. Tax planning and professional support offered by expert accounting firms, such as Dray & Natco, are essential to help companies navigate this complex and uncertain environment.

USA vs. Ghana: "I think this is going to be war."
Then, Ghana received the G4 spot, and people started thinking the group could be a cakewalk for the Germans.
But when the United States want into Group G, all attention was off the world's second ranked team.
United States. Ghana. One! More! Time!
Americans prefer not to think of 2006, when Ghana beat the US 2-1 in the last game of the group phase, costing Sam's Army a trip to the octofinals. Or four years later, when Ghana again won 2-1, this time in the octos. Another four years later; another showdown between the two teams. The difference? It's the opener for both.
Naturally, team members are weighing in. Usually, it's a confident statement or trash talk. But Ghana midfielder Kwadwo Asamoah was brutally honest, saying, “I think it is going to be war because they won’t sit back to lose three times to Ghana. There is no group favorite."
duuuuh . . . !
If this doesn't turn out to be war, Ghana wins. The US is the top ranked nation outside Europe and South America because of perseverance and determination. Without those, Klinsmann and company would be in the stands instead of on the field. In fact, that's one reason the US has survived since 1776.
But this is more than a feud. The US has had huge results in the last three World Cups: beat #5 Portugal 3-2 in 2002, Drew Italy in 2006, and drew England in 2010 in a match some people wanted to see since the upset in 1950, possibly the biggest upset of the twentieth century. And advancing in this year's toughest group would be even bigger.
Ghana, however, is the long-shot, and they're clearly focusing on this one game. “I didn’t even think about Germany and Portugal."
And that's America's problem in this match, leaving us to ask how good our chances are of advancing with an opening loss.

When you understand that you will achieve mastery at everything you practice, including all those not so useful habits, the motto takes on new meaning. Do you want to be good at being a skeevy weasel? Well, by all means, continue being sly and devious and one day you will get there, my friend.

DTN Closing Grain Comments 12/06 13:54
China Purchase Sends Wheat Higher, But Fails to Hold Gains; Corn, Soybeans,
Soy Products Fall Sharply
For the third time in the past week, USDA announced a sale of soft red
winter wheat to China; total sales this week were over 37 mb. Chicago and the
other two wheat markets surged early but were unable to keep the gains. As rain
continues to improve South American soybean and corn prospects, those markets
slipped lower again Wednesday, led by January soybeans, which fell through $13.
Soy product gains moved higher early, but reversed midsession, with soymeal and
bean oil falling to large losses, with the latter pressured by the fifth
straight lower finish on crude oil.
Senior Market Analyst
March corn closed down 6 1/4 cents per bushel, January soybeans finished
down 10 cents per bushel. March KC wheat was down 6 3/4 cents per bushel, March
Chicago wheat closed up 2 1/4 cents per bushel and March Minneapolis wheat was
down 8 1/2 cents.

FOX RACING | CONNER | ‘LIFE IN THE FAST LANE’
Being an artist is more than just making music for Conner
It’s the way that he lives his life in the fast lane – a balance between thoughts racing around his head and finding a way to put them into his music. But when he has nothing to say, he finds himself on his motorcycle. The ultimate escape that reminds him of being a kid in Hagerstown, Maryland, dreaming of one day becoming a musician. Fox presents Conner‘s debut EP – ‘Life In The Fast Lane’ – Available everywhere 8/17.
Featuring Conner Troxell. Directed by Avery Rost. Cinematography by Rob Russell.


Back on May 12, 2019, a forum post asking for pictures of disquieting locations spawned what has become a crowd-sourced horror story that keeps growing. Known as The Backrooms, it plays the liminal setting to found footage style stories created and shared across platforms like Reddit.
Lore. Common concepts associated with the theme include a 3 level system with seemingly no escape that a person falls into when they wonder where reality has holes. Those who claim to have been in and freed themselves from the endless hallways and service tunnels claim that "only when the backrooms become your home can you depart."

So whether your loss of hair is as an outcome of hormone modifications, genetics or environmental modifications, this formula could efficiently address it.
The ingredients of natural solutions for loss of hair Folexin
It is extremely unlikely for a hair loss formulation to be based entirely on natural formulation. Many loss of hair formula readily available on the marketplace in Geneve Switzerland adhere to the synthetic chemical based formula. Fortunately, Folexin is an all-natural formula. No chemicals, ingredients or fillers have been used planned of the supplement. The ingredients list utilized to aim to utilize your body’s all-natural functions as a method to improve your hair’s wellness. Here are the formula of Folexin:
Also called Vitamin B7, biotin is among the vital active ingredients in Folexin. It can be discovered in foods like fish, eggs, vegetables, meat, berries and avocado. The formulation plays a major duty in keeping the wellness of our hair, skin and also nails. Like all B vitamins, it is water soluble for this reason it conveniently soaks up into our internal systems. It is unusual to be deficient in biotin yet if it takes place, symptoms like flaky red breakout, dry eyes, loss of hair, exhaustion, and also clinical depression are common.
This is an additional soluble vitamin yet in the synthetic form of vitamin B9 folate. The vitamin helps new cell growth in the body. Folic acid shortage in the human body has actually been discovered to create premature hair loss at a very early age while subjecting on your own to different other health-related issues.

Various other formulation
Apart from these two essential formula, the formula includes some smaller components too. These formula interact to support much healthier, thick and better-looking hair. The components consist of Vitamins like B6, B5, A, B12, D3, C, B1, and also E, Calcium Carbonate, Magnesium Oxide, Potassium Gluconate, Iron Ferrous Fumarate, Zinc Oxide and Manganese Chelate.
How does Folexin really function to enhance hair growth
Folexin works by mostly restoring your natural supply of biotin. Your body requires biotin to transform particular nutrients into energy, which after that powers the growth of hair, nails and also skin. A very long time back, cases of biotin depletion in the human body were unusual and that is why our grandpas used to survive with complete hair into their sunset years. Nowadays, though, with altering diet patterns and also environmental downgrade, we have the tendency to shed our fair supply of this vital nutrient. Folexin, therefore, intends to recover biotin, which by effect supports hair growth and there is scientific proof to back this up.
In a 2015 research study, the number of ladies with declining hairlines were separated right into two groups, one given biotin pills and the other placebo. The dose was two times each day for 90 days. At the end of the research study, researchers reported that females who took biotin pills had actually experienced significant hair growing particularly in areas that had actually previously experienced balding.
Yet another nutrient that Folexin intends to replenish is folic acid. This is vitamin B, which is not only vital for our hair but additionally for total health and wellness. Researches have actually revealed a close relationship between hair loss and also folic acid shortage. This might be due to that folic acid is needed to create red cell. Therefore absence of it can lead inadequate supply of oxygen to hair roots. If hair Roots do not gain sufficient oxygen, they cannot create ATP, a material that plays a crucial duty in cell growth. An under-supply of ATP activates over-production of testosterone.
The connection in between testosterone and also loss of hair is rather made complex. Androgenic alopecia is one of the most common reason for loss of hair in many nations including Geneve Switzerland, affecting 50 million guys and also 30 million women inning accordance with the National Institute of Health And Wellness. So, by restoring biotin and folic acid, Folexin aims to overcome this discouraging trouble utilizing a scientifical method.
Just how to stop hair loss and regrow hair naturally with Folexin
Each container of Folexin has 60 tablets and also is intended to be ingested daily. users are advised to consume 2 capsules of Folexin daily with a glass of water or as directed by their doctor. One product throughout the middle of the day and the various other one during the night hours.

While the main target team for Folexin is males, females can additionally use it to accomplish a thick, solid and healthy and balanced head of hair.
