Palestine’s 4.9 million people are hurtling towards famine as humanitarian aid struggles to get to war-torn Gaza amid the Israel-Hamas conflict.
About a dozen countries, including Australia, the US and the UK, have suspended funding to the United Nation’s agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA) after allegations that several of its staff participated in the October 7 attacks on Israel.
More than 1100 people were killed, 250 hostages taken and mass rapes reported in the devastating terror attacks by Hamas. Israel’s response has been a full-scale war that is now in its 117th day, with at least 25,000 dead.
‘Dying in fight for food’: Aid worker’s harrowing account
One Gaza City-based aid worker for Mercy Corps said he had “witnessed two people suffocating to death from the overcrowding” after a food delivery reached northern Gaza.
“[Gazans] must wait for aid trucks in a place near the tanks to find something to eat,” the aid worker, who chose to remain anonymous, said.
“Every day people go hoping to get some assistance and tanks shoot at them, resulting in casualties. Personally, from the beginning of the war until today, my family hasn’t received any kind of assistance. We now eat only once a day and say it’s enough.
“The aid trucks reaching the north are very few and because there is no one responsible for the distribution process, it’s extremely chaotic. People often intercept these trucks and directly take items from them because they know they won’t get anything otherwise.
“Recently, I went to observe the aid distribution and it was very distressing. Thousands of people were waiting by the seaside in the hope that aid trucks would enter and after waiting for hours, only two trucks entered — for thousands of hungry people. People crowded around them so intensely that I witnessed two people suffocating to death from the overcrowding.
“Most people are not getting any assistance either because they are not willing to risk going to places where there’s a high chance of being targeted or because they cannot compete with so many people trying to get aid.”
The World Health Organisation (WHO) said it was unable to deliver food to Nasser Hospital in Khan Yunis in southern Gaza because the supplies were taken by hungry people in the streets.
“Due to delays around the checkpoint, the crowds took food being delivered, and once again it did not reach Nasser”, WHO director general Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said on X.
“This underscores the utter desperation of people in Gaza, who live in hellish conditions, including severe hunger. We continue to seek permission to deliver the fuel to the hospital.”
The de-funding of UNRWA could result in the “collapse” of the aid system in Gaza, the UN aid chief warned.
“We must not prevent an entire organisation from delivering on its mandate to serve people in desperate need,” Martin Griffiths, the UN’s undersecretary general for humanitarian affairs, wrote in a joint letter with other humanitarian leaders on Tuesday calling for funding to be reinstated.
“The harrowing events that have been snowballing in Gaza since October 7 have left hundreds of thousands of people homeless and on the brink of famine.
“UNRWA, as the largest humanitarian organisation in Gaza, has been providing food, shelter and protection, even as its own staff members were being displaced and killed … No other entity has the capacity to deliver the scale and breadth of assistance that 2.2 million people in Gaza urgently need.”
Hamas has said it was studying a three-phase truce proposal after peace talks took place in Paris over the weekend.
The draft truce agreement could involve a six-week pause in fighting, according to the Washington Post.
But Israel’s prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said the war will continue until Israel’s “absolute victory”.
Public support for Mr Netanyahu has plummeted through the war. Israeli media now reports just 23 per cent of poll respondents would like to see the leader remain in his position — his lowest poll score on record, according to Al Jazeera.

Yamaichi Electronics has expanded its existing HF507S high-speed series with a direct mating type. The new variant, the HF507S-xx-72, is based on a new design that simplifies the connection between the plug and the cable. Unlike the existing non-ZIF solution, which relies on engagement in the plug connector using an adapter assembled with FPC/FFC, in the direct mating type the high-speed FFC can be plugged directly together without additional materials. The FFC has a small punched-out gap on both sides in the plug area for this purpose. It is inserted into the connector and engages with its shape using a so-called "one-push lock" procedure. To remove the FFC, one simply presses a button located on the top of the connector. The dimensions of the FFC in the plug area correspond to those of systems already on the market.

Investigation into the Corrosion Behavior of Copper/Aluminum Associated with Electric/Electronic Devices in Marine Environment
- 56 Downloads
Corrosion behavior of copper/aluminum was investigated using cyclic wet/dry corrosion test in natural seawater by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and scanning electrochemical microscopy (SECM). The higher charge transfer resistance (Rct) and film resistance (Rf) at 15 d of w/d cyclic corrosion test were shown by EIS plots. The anodic surface releases Al3+ and Cu+ ions into the electrolyte, and the cathodic surface consumes dissolved oxygen. These ions and dissolved oxygen are detected by applying appropriate tip potential in SECM technique. The results showed that the corrosion activity of aluminum was accelerated due to the potential difference of the sample. The scanning electron microscopy with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM/EDX) analysis showed the enrichment of Cu and Al in corrosion products at the surface of Cu/Al sample after electrochemical analysis. The focused ion beam/transmission electron microscopy (FIB-TEM) analysis confirmed the presence of the nanoscale oxide layers containing Cu and Al in the corrosion product of the Cu/Al sample. The formation of corrosion products has a beneficial effect on corrosion resistance of Cu/Al sample.

In Major League Baseball’s Park Avenue offices on Thursday, the Royals and Kansas City were acclaimed by MLB commissioner Rob Manfred during the annual APSE Commissioners Meetings with a few dozen media members.
Not because of the team’s status as reigning World Series champions, though Manfred’s presence at opening day spoke to that.
It was by virtue of the groundbreaking Wednesday for the $14 million Urban Youth Academy — part of an emphasis on youth that Manfred considers crucial to the future of the sport.
Baseball’s ninth such endeavor, in fact, is groundbreaking in its own right in terms of budget, spirit of cooperation (including governmental support and major pledges from Royals players Sal Perez, Alex Gordon and Chris Young) and intended scope.
“I have to tell you that Kansas City is sort of the paradigm of (what) we would like to see,” said Manfred, adding that Royals general manager Dayton Moore’s vision and passion sets it apart.
Blocks away in the Major League Soccer offices on Fifth Avenue, MLS commissioner Don Garber spoke of the league’s aim for more regional relevance through expansion.
St. Louis has emerged as a frontrunner, in part because of the departure of the Rams but also because of the phenomenon of Sporting KC.
“Kansas City is arguably one of the great success stories of all time in our league,” he said. “There’s a market not that many years ago we were struggling to figure out whether we could stay there. We had plans to move the team at a time we were having difficulty getting somebody to take that team and move it and cover the losses, ongoing losses.
“And here we are, think they just went north of 100 consecutive sellouts (actually 74 in MLS play) in a relatively small market.”
For everything he’d then say about the frontrunner status of St. Louis, which now has a viable stadium site and group of investors and governmental support, he added, “One of the things that makes it more strategic for us is its proximity to Kansas City.”
Back on Park Avenue, NASCAR CEO Brian France met with media just weeks before one of its annual showcases at Kansas Speedway.
So even with the NFL turning to an off-the-record format for its part of this, the Kansas City region has a high profile here in the administrative epicenter of professional sports in America.
Just not one that’s likely in the near future to include an NBA or NHL tenant at the Sprint Center as it approaches its 10th anniversary in 2007.
When NBA commissioner Adam Silver was asked about expansion, he pointed to being in a collective-bargaining cycle and not even considering that possibility while “focusing on labor peace for (the) foreseeable future.”
More to the point, though, he said he was “not hearing” anything among owners that suggested an appetite for that.
Moreover, there is little reason to believe an established team will move any time soon.
“Having said that, organizations do tend to grow over time, we’re no different,” he said. “And there are some great communities out there that I know have no doubt would be wonderful NBA homes.”
Translation: Don’t hold your breath.
The APSE group won’t meet with NHL commissioner Gary Bettman until Friday afternoon, but it’s expected he’ll again simply say that the league continues to review expansion.
Besides, last year Quebec City and Las Vegas were the only cities to apply for the opportunity, according to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, which also reports more than 14,000 people have made season-ticket deposits for a potential team.
So 31 years after the NBA Kings moved from Kansas City to Sacramento and 40 years after the slapstick Scouts of the NHL relocated to Denver, there’s nothing on the horizon that suggests either league will return.
And so be it: “It’s far better to do a few things well than to undertake many good works and leave them half-done,” St. Francis de Sales wrote.
Careful what you vaguely wish for.
For one thing, is there enough of a population base to support the added entertainment dollar for what would be a fourth major franchise?
And would the price of expansion, or the extortion that comes with trying to relocate a franchise (see: St. Louis Rams), ever be worth it?
What we’re left with is plenty abundant, including the long-term iconic place of the Chiefs, a thriving NCAA and amateur sports scene, the exceptional FCKC franchise (two-time defending NWSL champs) and vibrant minor-league hockey with the Mavericks.
And it all needs all the TLC it can get — including paying attention to details that might stem this momentum.
Silver inadvertently alluded to that for our area’s purposes on Thursday.
Asked about the implications of North Carolina’s House Bill 2, he reiterated the NBA’s stance that it will move its scheduled 2017 All-Star Game from Charlotte if the legislation stands.
“We’ve been, I think, crystal clear a change in the law is necessary for us to play in the kind of environment that we think is appropriate for a celebratory NBA event,” Silver said, adding that he prefers not to set a time ultimatum in hopes of being “helpful” in the process but has alternatives ready.
A parallel matter looms in Missouri: SJR 39, the proposed so-called “religious freedom” constitutional amendment that would legally shield anyone from selling services to same-sex couples and has provoked concerns among the NCAA, the Big 12, the Southeastern Conference and others about future events in Kansas City.
No matter where you stand on this mean-spirited, regressive movement, you can’t separate that from the fact it jeopardizes something important to the state — and the city.That’s why when Kansas City Sports Commission president Kathy Nelson saw Silver’s comments about North Carolina on Twitter, she retweeted them saying, “No to #SJR39. Keep Missouri in the game.”
A game Kansas City is a winning model for on many fronts — as is.


Former President Trump outlined his criteria for selecting a running mate during an interview, emphasizing the paramount importance of choosing someone capable of assuming the presidency in times of crisis. Speaking on “Sunday Morning Futures” with Maria Bartiromo, Trump reiterated the necessity of considering a candidate’s ability to lead the nation in emergencies.
When asked about the criteria for choosing a running mate, Trump underscored the need for someone who could effectively serve as president if the need arises. He emphasized that this criterion takes precedence above all others, given the unpredictable nature of events.
While Trump refrained from revealing his choice for a running mate at the moment, he acknowledged considering various individuals for the position. He mentioned reaching out to figures like Sen. Tim Scott and praised their qualities, indicating his appreciation for Scott’s recent support and advocacy.
Trump also lauded South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem, citing her decision not to run against him and acknowledging her capabilities. He expressed confidence in his ability to identify political talent, drawing from his experiences both before and during his presidency.
Additionally, Trump hinted at the possibility of reintroducing former Cabinet members if he were to secure a second term, suggesting continuity in his administration’s leadership.
Regarding his approach to engaging anti-Trump individuals, Trump emphasized his administration’s accomplishments in domestic policy, focusing on themes of security, safety, economic prosperity, and border security as key priorities for Americans.

On November 21 2004 Fabian Nodarse presented his new album \'Renacer\' (reborn) to the public in \'De Winkel van Sinkel\' in Utrecht, The Netherlands. With a solid Cuban background Fabian is very well known in the Salsa-world. His band was exceptional this evening. With Nils Fischer, Armando Vidal and Jan Luc van Eendenburg he had gathered a few of the best artists to throw a big percussion party on stage.
click all images (5)
Fabian\'s solo album is full of Cuban oriented Salsa songs that, no song excluded, swing, dance and rock at the same time. During the weekly Salsa dance party in Utrecht Fabian and his 16-piece band managed to let nearly everyone dance to his music with strong vocal lines, many rhythmical changes, great arrangements and the ever so typical Salsa horns. This show was spectacular in every way but became even more impressive when Lilian Vierra of Zuco 103 came on stage for a guest performance. With her warm voice of the Brazilian homeland the evening became an even more succesful and intercultural show then one could have expected.
Nils Fischer, Armando Vidal and Liber Torriente recorded all the drums on Renacer for Fabian. During the presentation of the album the band consisted, besides Nils and Armando, of Jan Luc van Eendenburg and Eduardo Alfonso Herrera. Eduardo is a composer and singer and played the guiro during this wild performance, which seemed to never end.
Jan Luc van Eendenburg studied drums at the Rotterdam Conservatory. Besides that he also took lessons from Justo Pelladito en Terry Valdez in Cuba. Some artists and groups he worked with are Salsa Caliente, Nueva Manteca, Rumbatá and Nicky Marrero. Besides his regular performances as an independent artist he teaches Latin Percussion and combo at the Sweelinck Conservatorium and the World Music School in Utrecht.
We allready know Nils Fischer and Armando Vidal as versatile independent artists. In our review of their concert with Nueva Manteca in Woerden you read all about these two artist with a reference list that would make many artists jealous. On their artistpages you\'ll find more streams and images of these rhythmical kings.
This evening was one of blasting percussion and Cuban Glory all over. There should be much more of this type of music in the Netherlands, that\'s for sure! Watch the stream of the percussion solo of Nils and Armando to enjoy what The Netherlands have to offer on Cuban music.

Globally, the transport sector is not the largest emitter of greenhouse gases, the main culprit behind climate change. However, it is widely considered the most difficult sector to decarbonize. “Without aggressive and sustained mitigation policies being implemented, transport emissions could increase at a faster rate than emissions from the other energy end-use sectors,” the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has warned.
The sector has uniquely relied on a single fuel, petroleum, which supplies 95 percent of the total energy used by world transport. Road transport, both passenger and freight, is responsible for nearly three-quarters of all transport emissions. Continued growth in these activities could outweigh all climate change mitigation measures, the IPCC has argued.
It is no wonder that at COP26, the United Nations’ 2021 climate change conference in Scotland, the parties agreed to accelerate the transition to zero-emission vehicles to achieve the goals of the Paris Agreement. Their aim is to have all global sales of new cars and vans zero-emission by 2040, and by 2035 or sooner in leading markets.
Currently, electric vehicles (EVs) powered by low-emission electricity offer the greatest potential to decarbonize land-based transport. Their rapid deployment will also have the biggest detrimental impact on oil demand. Such a shift would mark the second time in history when electrification existentially threatens the oil industry, after the invention of the electric light bulb two centuries ago.
Greenhouse gas emissions by sector
Data Source: IPCC
Much of the debate over the future of the transport sector and EVs has focused on technical matters, like setting targets to reduce carbon emissions. But more qualitative questions are capturing growing attention: How will the adoption of EVs affect the billions worldwide who cannot afford them? And what would the end of oil mean for the developing countries whose economies depend on it? Overlooking issues of equity and justice in the energy transition risks worsening the global divide between rich and poor, and stoking new resistance to climate efforts in the developing world.
Oil entered the transport sector by chance. The early use of this fossil fuel was primarily for lighting. When Thomas Edison developed the first practical electric incandescent lamp, the oil industry of the era faced a serious threat: the oil lamp had become obsolete.
But just as one door closed, another, much bigger door opened: the development of the internal combustion engine, which gave oil a new lifeline that sustains it to this day. And while its use in sectors such as power generation has been declining since the first oil shock in 1973, its dominance of the transport sector – which captures more than 65 percent of total oil consumption – has been preserved.
The future of transport is thus central to the outlook for oil demand. Today, electrification is taking another run at the oil industry. If recent trends in EV sales continue and the relevant government plans materialise, the end of the oil age will be nearer than originally thought. The need for economic diversification in oil-dependent economies has accordingly become much more urgent.
Share of oil final consumption by sector, 1973 and 2019
According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), sales of EVs in 2021 doubled from the previous year to a new record of 6.6 million. While still a small absolute share – for comparison, global car sales grew to around 66.7 million automobiles in 2021, and today there are more than 1.4 billion cars worldwide – the growth rate has been staggering. The market share of EVs quadrupled in 2021 compared to 2019, and sales of EVs in the first quarter of 2022 were 75 percent more compared to the same period only a year ago.
The momentum is expected to hold, if not accelerate, particularly as governments continue to introduce measures favoring EVs – from subsidies and tax credits to a straightforward ban on the sale of new diesel/gasoline engine vehicles. In the United States, the recently enacted Inflation Reduction Act provides EV tax credits of up to $7,500, in the hope of reaching a target set last year to have EVs comprise at least half of new vehicles by 2030. Norway announced the world’s most aggressive plan, with the sale of new petrol and diesel cars to be banned beginning in 2025.
Global electric vehicle sales
The zeal for electric vehicles is strongest in rich, developed economies. Among developing economies, China – which accounted for half of the growth in EV sales during 2021 – is the exception. Elsewhere, in countries outside the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, EV sales have been meager. In Brazil, India and Indonesia, for instance, EVs account for less than 0.5 percent of car sales, according to the IEA.
Affordability is a major barrier. For instance, in major markets, the price of a battery-powered EV tends to be 20-45 percent more expensive than a conventional car. Subsidies can help close the gap, but not all governments can sustain the generous handouts typical of those more endowed, especially with poorer nations facing more immediate issues of high food and energy prices. The majority of the world’s population today, which is concentrated in the developing world, cannot afford access to personal vehicles, or in many cases to any form of motorized transport.
Another crucial issue for the spread of EVs is access to electricity. A study by the Energy for Growth Hub estimates that a staggering 45 percent of the world’s population does not have access to reliable power. Unless that changes, the penetration of EVs will be significantly limited in such countries.
Global conventional vehicle sales
Data Source: IEA
Meanwhile, the metals and minerals needed to produce EVs and their batteries are mined in a number of developing countries, such as the cobalt-rich Democratic Republic of the Congo (one of the five poorest nations in the world). As the market for EVs expands, the mining of these minerals and metals will increase accordingly.
Setting aside the environmental footprint, these activities also pose socioeconomic and political risks in poorer countries, which often lack the institutions to manage a rush of new capital – the “resource curse” phenomenon. In many developing economies, resource wealth fails to deliver sustainable growth, in fact aggravating the poverty it promised to cure.
Unless the above three issues are tackled, the expansion of EVs may be aligned with the energy transition as defined by richer nations – but it will not be evenly distributed. This will likely foster resentment in poorer countries, with negative repercussions for the climate change agenda. Already, concepts such as “climate colonialism” and “green colonialism” have gained currency.
A 2020 study described a “just energy transition” as one found in the “convergence of energy transitions and socioeconomic concerns.” Along similar lines, the Declaration on Zero Emissions Vehicles, struck at the COP26, recognizes “the importance of ensuring the transition to zero-emission vehicles is just and sustainable so that no community is left behind.”
Yet, under existing conditions outside the most developed nations, it remains unclear how the ambitious global targets for green vehicles can be achieved without leaving many communities behind.
A rapid transition to electric vehicles has widely been promoted without consideration for objectives like the UN Sustainable Development Goal 7, which refers to “access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all.”
As long as equity is not at the center of decarbonizing transport, EVs will remain a luxury beyond the reach of many living in poorer countries, who will greet the climate agenda with greater skepticism.
Facts & Figures
- In 2012, around 120,000 electric cars were sold worldwide. In 2021, more than that many are sold each week, with nearly 10 percent of global car sales now electric (IEA).
- Public spending on subsidies and incentives for EVs nearly doubled in 2021, to nearly $30 billion (IEA).
- Light-duty cars and trucks produce 40 percent of transportation CO2. Decarbonizing the sector will require that between 66 and 90 percent of passenger automobiles are zero-emission vehicles by 2050 (International Council on Clean Transportation).
- Transport is responsible for almost a quarter of European greenhouse gas emissions, with road transport by far the biggest emitter in the sector (European Commission).
- More vehicles were sold in China in 2021 (3.3 million) than in the entire world in 2020 (IEA).
- Transport demand is expected to more than double by 2050, compared to 2015 (International Transport Forum).

Drivers: Stay cool, stay safe near NH schools as they open
But before bells ring, before a student shouts out “here” during roll call, before a student picks up his first pencil, that student has to arrive at school.
• Pull to the side of the road to stop your car and drop off your child. Stopping in the travel lane invites a rear-end collision.
• The child should use a crosswalk to cross the street.
Vincent said most Manchester schools were not designed with the expectations that large numbers of parents would drive their students to school. Rather, they are on narrow streets or heavily traveled streets.
“Beech Street is just an accident waiting to happen,” said Vincent, who added that police will be out in force today to make sure traffic and pedestrian rules are followed.
In the past, school officials have encouraged parents to have their children walk to school. Police Lt. Maureen Tessier said it is safe for students to walk to school in Manchester, noting an abundance of sidewalks and crossing guards.
Other advice for walkers include:
• Use designated crosswalks and look both ways while crossing the street.
• Walk with friends and don’t talk to strangers.
Sgt. Vincent said it’s up to parents to decide when their child is ready to walk to school.
“The parent would know better than I would whether their child is mature enough to walk to school,” Vincent said.
Bedford police recognize that many students drive to school. They said young drivers need to make sure they are buckled in and adhere to lower speed limits in school zones. They should also avoid distractions such as cell phones, iPods and fellow students riding with them.

BTOP is Working To Expand Broadband Adoption
While a lot of attention has been focused on the infrastructure grants awarded by The Broadband Technology Opportunities Program (BTOP), the biggest impact that BTOP grants could be in broadband adoption. There are a number of very exciting projects in this field, and several different models to increase digital literacy and interest in broadband. The BTOP awarded grants to 44 sustainable broadband adoption projects for over $250 million and 66 public computer center projects for over $200 million.
BTOP is an initiative of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Recovery Act) and the programs that these grants have funded are designed to train communities across the United States to use technology in order to improve broadband adoption.
The National Telecommunications and Information Administration publishes a quarterly report that highlights the progress of these programs and we will periodically feature some of them here.
Some exciting initiatives include:
- WorkForce West Virginia is designed to improve access to job information, career counseling, and skills training by upgrading and expanding 20 West Virginia One-Stop career centers. By replacing 165 existing computer workstations and adding 80 new ones, the centers will be able to provide high-speed Internet access and job training services to almost 2,300 additional users per week, nearly doubling the number of people using the existing centers.
- The Michigan State Library received two BTOP grants that, taken together, are designed to bolster public computer center capacity throughout the entire state of Michigan. The projects will establish over 40 new public computer centers and upgrade over 250 more in colleges, libraries, public housing developments, and other community support organizations. The state will benefit from over 2,500 new workstations — nearly double the current amount — that can serve over 190,000 new users per week. The centers will offer training focused on online skills and developing job-seeking and job-creating strategies. The project also will provide hands-on experience to university and community college students by giving them on-the-job training in computer installation and upgrading processes.
- The Lowell Internet, Networking and Knowledge project in Massachusetts will use public computer centers, outreach events, in-language training, and other methods to reach seniors and other specific populations in the Lowell and Merrimack Valley region, including the nation's second-largest Cambodian community.
Several other grants focus on linking individuals to local community resources and engaging local residents in expanding broadband awareness. For example:
- In 50 cities and towns across 31 states and the District of Columbia, the One Economy Corporation will train 2,500 youth to become "Digital Connectors," who will provide digital literacy training to others in their communities. This is one element of a comprehensive program that also includes linking public housing developments to broadband, providing technical assistance training for residents, and creating online content targeted to low-income users.
- In Alaska, the University of Alaska Fairbanks is leading a broad coalition that will implement a project to educate and empower residents of dozens of remote villages. The project will train 80 "Village Internet Agents" to teach digital literacy skills to their neighbors and to address the local hardware and software support needs of the communities, saving time and money. Villages will be able to certify telehealth coordinators who can bring broadband enabled health applications to their villages.

I’d like to create a space for you to freely express yourself, build insight, and use those discoveries to make meaningful changes. I offer a novel approach to therapy, where gamers can play video games with me and overcome their initial barriers to fully expressing themselves. With a blend of gaming and therapy, I help gamers process their struggles, where they’ve avoided their demons & obligations, to build a self-actualized life.
I focus on working with you to address your recurrent issues such as feeling stuck, avoidance, overthinking, low motivation, unfulfilling relationships, and low self-esteem.
We’ll work collaboratively in integrating counseling techniques to fit your needs and meet you where you’re at. We can work together to address your recurrent issues. Over the years, I’ve learned different skills to address the anxiety, depression, and trauma that kept clients from living the life they knew they could have, much like you.
With counseling, maybe you will be able to say that you are more aware of your problems and how to deal with them. Even just getting one step closer to knowing what you want in life and what actions to take, would be a great thing to see.
If you want to learn more about how I can help, shoot me a message or visit my website. I look forward to working with you.

google maps will has this new feature of showing you where you are exactly by activating your camera and showing you the streets you are in. This really helps avoid what people tend to do which is turn in circles and look at the arrow to see were it is pointing at.
It is very helpful in the sense that it shows the streets' name, direction and how it is looking in reality such as the name of places in the surrounding and the names will pop on the screen - so the user would immediately know where they are. A fun feature is also added where there would be an animated guide in the form of an animal to guide you the way (as if having all this information is not enough!)
I dont know much about AR, but it is clear to me that is has helped so many technological ideas develop to offer the best user experiences. it makes it easy to use, and fun at the same time.

The FM said Article 370 of the constitution is not compromised in anyway through this presidential order.
Srinagar: Amid ruckus and intense protests by the opposition members, the Jammu and Kashmir Legislature on Wednesday adopted a resolution for implementing Goods and Services Tax (GST) in the state.
Later, Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti convened an emergency meeting of the State Cabinet to discuss and give concurrence to the 101 Constitutional Amendment Act of the Indian Constitution under which the GST would be made applicable to J&K as well.
The GST rolled out in the country from July 1 midnight but J&K is the only state that failed to keep date with it.
In view of special status accorded to it under Article 370 of the Constitution, J&K has to pass special laws to make the umbrella tax that has subsumed a string of taxes into one consolidated tax applicable to the state.
The opposition and trade bodies had publicly vowed to fight any move that would weaken further J&K’s special status guaranteed under Article 370 of the Indian Constitution.
They also said that GST would also cause “irreparable financial losses” to the state. A general strike called by Kashmir Inc against the GST disrupted normal life across the Valley on Wednesday.
Ignoring stiff opposition from various political parties including National Conference (NC), Congress and the CPIM and outside the House by traders’ bodies, Finance Minister Haseeb A Drabu had on Tuesday moved a resolution on the floor of the Assembly.
It read, “This House resolves that the government of J&K may give consent to the adoption of the GST regime by application of relevant amendments made to the Constitution of India in a modified manner to safeguard the existing special constitutional position of J&K in the Union of India and legislative powers under the constitution of J&K”.
Works Minister Naeem Akhter placed a copy of the resolution before the Upper House of the State Legislature simultaneously.
Speaking in the Assembly on the second day of its special session, Drabu said the state government will use Article 370 to extend GST to Jammu and Kashmir. “Section 5 of Jammu and Kashmir Constitution and Article 370 of the Indian Constitution will remain unchanged,” he assured. He also said that the State will retain unbridled powers to tax.
“I assure you the state will enjoy overriding powers on issues. We shall have our own appellant authority. Also all exemptions, remissions and subsidies across sectors will remain intact,” he said.
The resolution on GST was passed by both the Houses of Legislature amid assurance from the finance minister that it would be implemented under the ambit of Article 370.
He also said that adequate safeguards for the State’s Special Status and protecting Consolidated Fund and special taxation powers of the State Government are proposed to be incorporated into the Presidential Order for bringing Jammu and Kashmir under the ambit of the new tax regime.
Responding to the concerns of the legislators, he said that under no circumstances will the state government amend the Section 5 of Constitution of J&K that gives it special taxation powers. He said such a move will open a Pandora's Box, which will have implications on the special constitutional Position of J&K in future.
“We are proposing that the Article 370 shall not be compromised in any way through the Presidential Order. The GST Council should not be a way to subvert the process and enough safeguards are built to empower the constituents of J&K in the Council. Besides, the exclusive powers of the State to tax and the Consolidated Fund of J&K shall not be impaired," he said.
Expressing concern over declining trade in J&K due to uncertainty over GST, Drabu said only 1,000 truckloads of goods crossed the Lakhanpur toll post on July 4, down by half when compared with the figures of the corresponding period of last year. "The exports have also halved with only 150 truckloads of goods moving from J&K to other states. This is adversely impacting our trade and economy," he said.
Responding to the opposition’s charge that the GST was being made applicable to the State under pressure from the Centre, he said, “We are not working under compulsion but for the restoration of certain processes and constitutional morality which lays foundation of a true democracy. It is the biggest tragedy of our time that we have lost our tradition of dialogue which is why we brought the resolution for GST to the House to revive that culture of consultation. We wanted a consensus on the issue”.
Drabu said the Article 370 should be protected and used for development of the state and for the empowerment of people. "Instead, it is being used as a tool to whip up political passions and draw political mileage. It is being used for creating fake controversies,” he alleged.
Seeking to allay the fears of business community, he said industry exemptions and tax remissions will continue both from the Centre and the state government under the new tax regime.
Reacting to the demand of the opposition to bring a separate GST law for J&K, Drabu said alternative law will require amending Constitution of J&K and of India. "Amending Section 5 of J&K Constitution will open Pandora's Box. Instead, what we are proposing is that the GST Council must come within the ambit of Article 370," he said. Later, the Finance Minister made similar assertions in the Upper House.

A woman moving from Brooklyn, N.Y., to Whitehall Township in late May noticed a heavy smell of cigarettes, and possibly alcohol, on one of the movers, she testified Tuesday.
Dina E. Leh said she and her mother drove ahead of the moving truck and had almost made it to Leh's new home when she got a call from Robert J. Kritzar, driver of the moving truck.
"He said, 'Just called to let you know we're leaving Manhattan,' " Leh testified, adding that Kritzar sounded giddy and was cursing.
Leh testified she asked what time he'd be at her new home and was shocked when Kritzar responded, "I don't want to be in this [expletive] city any longer than you want me to be."
Hours later, state police investigators said, Kritzar smashed into the back of a Jeep Wrangler on Route 22 in Whitehall, killing Nathan Warke, 34, of Allentown.
A state police accident reconstruction expert testified Kritzar, 42, of Hellertown, was going 66 mph in stop-and-go traffic and took 3 seconds to finally slam on his brakes after Warke had stopped for traffic ahead of him. Kritzar's box truck was "embedded" in the back of Warke's vehicle, police said.
District Judge Wayne Maura determined Kritzar must face Lehigh County Court on charges of homicide by vehicle while driving under the influence of alcohol, homicide by vehicle, driving under the influence, reckless endangerment and summary offenses in the May 28 three-vehicle crash.
Police said that when Kritzar crashed into the rear of Warke's Jeep at 8:30 p.m., the Jeep crashed into a tractor-trailer. Frederick Ackerman, driver of the rig, testified he was going west on the highway when he had to brake hard because traffic had backed up. He said he heard a crash from behind, and then his rig was rear-ended.
Breaking News Alerts
State Trooper Robert Griffin testified he arrived at the scene and tried to talk to Kritzar, who was out of it, repeating "I killed a guy, I killed a guy." Police said that about an hour after the crash, Kritzar's blood-alcohol content was 0.22 percent, nearly three times the legal limit to drive in Pennsylvania.
Javier Alvarez was one of the first troopers at the scene, near the Lehigh River, where he and an unidentified paramedic checked on Warke and found no signs of life.
Brianne Glad, a state police accident reconstruction expert, testified that while it took Kritzar 3 seconds to apply his brakes, the normal reaction time would have been 1.6 seconds.
"Not being impaired, he may have been able to slow his vehicle, hit his brakes on time and not hit the vehicle in front of him," she testified.
According to court records, Kritzar was charged in 2012 with drunken driving by Lower Saucon Township police. He pleaded guilty and was sentenced to six months of probation, court records state.

It’s no secret that everyone loves a bargain but it can be difficult to achieve, especially with accelerating house prices in the UK. In simple terms, buying Below Market Value (BMV) means buying for a price that is lower than the current market price. Auctions, quick sales through estate agents and private sales to avoid repossessions are the main ways to achieve a MBV deal.
There’s a multitude of reasons why someone might want or need to sell below market value, mostly due to the speed of the sale. Financial demands, relocations, divorces and structural issues can necessitate quick sales which often mean accepting a lower price.
To facilitate a MBV deal, there are a few things you need to know first.
You need to know the property’s value
First of all, to buy at a discount you really need to know what the property is worth. Look at house values on that street, and get a professional’s advice. Some properties are cheap for a reason, so make sure you do your research.
Ensure there is demand
It might sound obvious, but it is imperative to have a rental demand for the type of property you are buying. Without tenants, there’s no rent, which means no income for you. Check out Zoopla and Rightmove to see what kinds of properties are available to rent, and how quickly they go off the market.
Utilise ‘most recent’ filters
Property search companies like Zoopla and Rightmove have filtering capabilities, such as low-high price, latest listing and so on. A top tip is to search for the properties that have been listed the longest, as they will probably have a motivated seller. This means the seller will be open to lower offers because it costs them more the longer the property is on sale.
Consider the renovations
Finding a below market value deal can be exciting, but it’s important that you consider the costs needed to bring the property up to a rent-able condition. You might think you have found a great deal, but costs really do rack up with renovations, so ensure to include this in your budget calculations. Consult with local contractors to create a realistic figure.
Buying below market value is a great way to expand your property portfolio and boost your income, but it’s important that you consider demand, risk, finances and the seller when negotiating deals. Always consult professionals before buying.

7 questions with Charlotte designer Kira Kurc
We sat down with Charlotte-based designer Kira Kurc to ask seven questions about her affordable, Bohemian approach toward interior design.
Help from an interior designer doesn’t have to be out of reach. We sat down with Kira Kurc, a Charlotte-based interior designer, who focuses on making a beautiful home design affordable for her clients. We’re excited to show you how Kira Kurc tackled our seven questions on interior design.
Meet Kira Kurc
Tell us a little bit about your business?
First off, it’s brand new! I started Kira Kurc Interior Design last summer, not knowing if anyone would even bother to follow. I feel extremely fortunate that I have had as many clients as I have in the last year.
What makes your interior design approach different?
I am affordable and I create affordable designs. Not everyone can walk into Restoration Hardware and drop $30,000 for a living room design. I believe that we can create the space you dream of without breaking the bank. It takes hard work and creativity to design on a smaller budget, but you better believe I will make it happen. Most of my free time is spent sourcing seriously amazing finds, and I love passing that on to my clients.
Is there a specific theme or feel to your design?
Definitely! I gravitate towards Bohemian design mixed with mid-century modern, aka Anthropologie-inspired. I focus on comfort and coziness, along with practicality. It is very bungalow meets Scandinavian, which seems counter-intuitive, but I simply don’t feel that applies to design. It can be anything you want it to be!
What is your favorite color trend at the moment?
I am currently loving Pantone’s 2019 color of the year, Living Coral! It is a fun, bright color but isn’t super feminine, so it is a great compromise for couples.
What color challenges do you find you run into with clients?
Accent colors, 100%. What I think might be the best accent color is usually not what my client picks, and that’s okay! I run with it and make it work.
What brands or bloggers do you follow for inspiration?
SO many. As far as brands, I am constantly drawn toward Anthropologie, Lulu and Georgia, and a bit of Urban Outfitters. And I won’t lie, Target’s new line, Opalhouse, that was released spring of 2018 is a huge source of inspiration for designing both my own space and my client spaces. I also follow tons of “dream” brands. As far as other bloggers that I follow, I have to give a shout out to @justinablakeney, @mylittlebohome, @ashleystark, @littleblondebook, and @arrowsandbow for always giving me decor inspiration.

Role Call: Wild Wild Wes
It’s Fantastic Beasts week! While we all rush out to the nearest theater to dip our toes into our beloved wizarding world, a few of our favorite Harry Potter alumni have been busy! From Alfred Enoch to Natalia Tena, we have it all right here in this week’s Role Call!
Fans of How to Get Away with Murder, PREPARE YOURSELVES! Alfred Enoch (Dean Thomas) will be leaving the show. For those of you who watched How to Get Away with Murder on Tuesday, November 17, you may already know that he died during the fall finale. Of course, we will all cry for years to come over the loss of our beloved Wes.
Entertainment Weekly interviewed the show’s executive producer, Pete Nowalk, on his decision to kill Wes.
It wasn’t easy to make. I switched my mind a million times, and I really just didn’t make a decision, and I was like, ‘I’ll make it when I have to’… and then eventually it was episode 7, and I had to make a decision. It was the least fun aspect of this job that I’ve had so far. I’ve had to make hard decisions, but this one… we’re just a happy family really, and I love Wes. I love how Alfie portrays Wes. I’m really terrified actually what the show would look like without him, but I think Shonda [Rhimes] taught me something: It’s like, ‘Go toward the terror.’ It was a hard decision, but it’s just going to be visceral for all the characters, and I think that’s what I was looking for.
Alfie also went on Jimmy Kimmel Live to talk about the finale and to discuss what was #UnderTheSheet and how shocked he was to find that it was him. Not only is he adorable, but his accent is hypnotic.
To read more about what is to come for the show and how they will cope with Alfie’s absence, read more in the complete Entertainment Weekly interview. No matter the decision, I think we can all agree that How to Get Away with Murder has been a dark and spooky ride, and it only makes me more excited to see what is next for Alfie Enoch’s career.
Imelda Staunton (Dolores Umbridge) and Downton Abbey‘s Jim Carter hosted a fundraising event on November 8 to raise money for Beckton Children’s Hospice. In order to continue helping families in need, the charity must raise over £2 million each year. A big thank you to Imelda and Jim for donating their time and money to such a good cause!
The third series of David Tennant‘s (Barty Crouch Jr.) BBC sitcom, W1A, is to begin filming this February! Tennant has narrated the previous two seasons of the show, but his involvement in the upcoming series has yet to be confirmed. David Tennant can also be seen early next year in the third and final season of Broadchurch!
Sir Michael Gambon (Albus Dumbledore) will appear as Mortimer in BBC Two’s upcoming second series of The Hollow Crown. While the first series followed the stories of Richard II, Henry IV – Parts I and II, and Henry V, the second will be subtitled The Wars of the Roses and pick up the story with Henry VI and Richard III. The first part of the series will appear on BBC Two on December 11 at 9:00 p.m.
Natalia Tena (Nymphadora Tonks) will bring her band, Molotov Jukebox, to Chester on December 1 after a busy year of touring festival after festival. After that, Nat says she looks forward to the downtime and can’t wait to retreat to her houseboat in Little Venice.
This Christmas I’m looking forward to sitting round on my boat in my pants with a good book and my cat and maybe a glass of wine.
Don’t get her wrong, Nat loves being part of Molotov Jukebox, especially during her time off from Game of Thrones. During her time touring the country this year, she was able to play the main stage of the Secret Garden Party where she and her boyfriend/violinist of the band actually started the band itself. A lot is in store for Molotov Jukebox. If you want to grab a ticket for their upcoming performance, visit this link.
That’s a wrap on this week’s Casting News! How are you coping with the death of Wes in How to Get Away with Murder? Let us know in the comments below!

VLV Riverside opens on Clarke Quay’s river bank, serving up a menu of zi char dishes as reinterpreted by executive head chef Martin Foo.
Launched in July, VLV Riverside is VLV’s brand new dining section complete with a zi char menu crafted by award-winning executive head chef Martin Foo. Enjoy the cool river breeze and beautiful scenery along the river whilst savouring authentic zi char flavours reinterpreted by chef Martin.
VLV Riverside’s menu comprises dishes like sweet and sour pork ($22), crispy bull frog with ginger ($26) and crispy har cheong gai—prawn paste chicken ($15). Hopping on the salted egg trend, chef Martin’s salted egg chicken dish ($18) boasts a creamy addictive salted egg sauce that complements the crisp yet tender chicken pieces. Even if you’re not a fan of salted egg, this dish promises a flavour-packed punch in every bite.
The roasted truffle London duck ($45/half duck) is another crowd favourite—succulent roasted duck meat oozing truffle flavours that go so well together.
Besides roasted and stir-fried meat dishes, expect to find a variety of seafood dishes at VLV Riverside. Notable seafood dishes include stir-fried sambal prawn with petai ($28), curry fish head ($32) and of course, VLV’s signature Chairman’s Crab ($9/100g)—fragrant steamed crab with bonito egg white and ikura—best enjoyed with some deep-fried mantous ($4.80/four pieces).
VLV Riverside also serves a variety of noodles and congee dishes that are perfect for sharing. Try the XO noodles with cracking pork belly, ginger and scallion ($22) for a hearty portion of noodles served with generous amounts of crisp crackling and tender pork belly pieces.

Chasing Shambhala: Amine Edge & Dance Get Us Ready For Their Shambhala Debut
Building on a massively successful 2015, the enigmatic French duo Amine Edge & Dance are pressing forward with undeniable swagger and guile. On August 24th, Amine Edge & Dance will be releasing their first album, Past Before Future, for free via their very own label, CUFF. As world-renowned taste makers of the dance music scene, Anime Edge and Dance are poised to make their debut at one of the most beloved and well-respected festivals in North America, Shambhala.
In this exclusive interview with the Marseille-based twosome, we discuss their upcoming album, what they love about being on tour and why they are looking forward to Shamabhala. The festival kicks off on Thursday; Amine Edge & Dance will be bringing their incredible hip-hop infused house beats to the Pagoda stage at 1 a.m. on Sunday morning.
Sensible Reason: Your new album Past Before Future will be released on August 24th; can you let us know what we can expect from the forthcoming project?
Amine Edge & DANCE : It’s our first album, we just wanted to gift it to our fans for the eternal support, so we gave them some of our most wanted tracks that we never released but that people know because we played them in clubs.
SR: You are also releasing Past Before Future for free as a thank you to your massive fan base. How important is it for you to give back to your supporters and show your appreciation?
Amine Edge: I don’t want to sound cliché, but I’m what I call a giver — I give without expecting in return, help my friends, help my people around me etc… it’s important to give, that’s one of the reason we record and upload all our sets, it’s important to give, it feels good and it makes people feel good.
DANCE: We just try to be nice and grateful to all these people who still support us everywhere in the world. We are here because of them so we have to show them some love in return.
SR: What was it like working with the legendary DJ Sneak on your lead single “Real Girls Fall Fake Girls Talk”?
A E & D : We went first to a sick Chinese restaurant, destroyed the whole table, then we went to his crib in Toronto, listening to some ideas and loops for hours without actually make music, Sneak then sent us a project, we changed almost everything but we kept lots of his loops and stuff, that’s a perfect collab, how we like them. He is a good friend, so it’s really easy to work with him.
SR: Can you tell us the origin of your enigmatic name, Amine Edge and DANCE?
Amine Edge: LOL my first name is Amine, I took Edge from « Kevin Hedge » from Blaze at this time as I was a crazy fan, and I am still, I hope he will never be pissed about that.
DANCE: You’ll never know why my name is DANCE, it’s a long, boring and stupid story.
SR: You guys had a packed 2015 with a world tour that saw you perform at over 100 venues. What would you say is your favorite part of being on the road?
Amine Edge: Traveling makes you grow faster, staying in the same city all your life, talking with the same people doesn’t help, so we are lucky with that. My favourite part is that I finally don’t have to struggle with money, and I’ll never be poor again, it’s a shame in the House world to talk about money which is totally different in hip-hop, so yes I fucking love being paid to play music and suck my dick if you think I don’t deserve it, that’s why we are hip-hop!
DANCE: To meet some girls from everywhere is my favourite part, lol.
SR: Can you tell our readers a bit about your label CUFF? How and when did it start? How would you describe the vibe and essence of the imprint?
AE & D : We started in 2012, signing tracks making the buzz, but released stuff in 2013. The idea was simply to create and own a brand that we could be proud of, we have attitude, taste and we are original creators, that’s the reason we have this success I guess.
SR: Growing up in Marseille what first inspired the hip-hop influences that are present in your music?
AE & D : We have never really been inspired by any genre to do our music, we go in the studio and have fun.
SR: Who are some current hip-hop artists that you draw inspiration from?
Amine Edge: Same as my first answer, I don’t take inspiration from somebody else, I do my own shit.
DANCE: We listen to a lot of hip-hop like Travis Scott, Young Thug, Skepta etc… But yeah, they don’t really inspire us. We just love their music.
SR: What is it like for you touring here in the US? How would you say crowds in Europe differ from crowds in the states?
AE & D: The crowd in the States is waiting for the drop, they created the sentence « wait for it » when it comes to Drum n Bass. In Europe they are more subtle, they don’t need a massive drop to react to good music.
SR: I’m heading up to Shambhala this year and I can’t wait to see you guys perform there for the first time. What have you heard about that festival?
AE & D: Shiba San told us that it’s freezing as fuck and a nightmare if you like luxury like Mariah Carey does but we also heard that it’s no alcohol allowed and we respect that. It’s in nature where there are massive trees and rivers, hell yeah! Our booker Chad will be there it’s gonna be a lot of fun.
SR: I read in an article that Amine Edge doesn’t drink and Shambhala has a no alcohol policy, do you think that policy will foster a better environment for the artist and the festival goers?
Amine Edge: DANCE loves his bottle of vodka or champagne. I will have to hug him to make him forget the pain.
DANCE: Yeah, it’s gonna be hard for the alcoholic that I am but why not? I will feel like Amine for once!
SR: How do you feel about everything that is happening in your native country? Do you feel like your music can be used as an escape for your listeners and hopefully a source of enjoyment and healing?
AE & D: We hope so man, terrorism is like cancer, it’s hard, sometimes impossible to fight it, they are cowards who shoot in the back, what can we say, we are born free, we will die free.


Tunable mid-IR pulses in the range 1300–4200 cm-1 (7.7–2.4 µm) are generated through a phase-matched four-wave mixing process in ordinary mid-IR window materials such as CaF2 and BaF2 . In this process the difference frequency v3=2v2-v1 is generated from pump fields v1 and v2 . The process can be phase matched to different frequencies by adjustment of the angle between the pump fields.

Together is indeed, a wonderful place to be, as evidenced recently when many organizations came together to package, ship, and distribute over 1.5 million healthy meals to the Philippines. Millions of people are still recovering from the devastating Typhoon Haiyan on November 8, 2013, but together, with the help of many volunteers, donors, and organizations who value partnerships we can accomplish so much.
Nine years ago, Food for Kidz helped the Outreach Program founders, Floyd Hammer and Kathy Hamilton get started in Union, Iowa. Since that time, Outreach continues to focus on developing services in the area of water, food, medicine, and education and values partnering with other organizations to further their efforts. It’s Outreach who initiated coordination of the 1. 5 million meals to the Philippines, pulling in other organizations: Food for Kidz, Rotary International, Somebody Cares International, Comprehensive Disaster Response and Friends Against Hunger. We are proud to share this story and its testament to what can be accomplished when we all work together!
The loading of 1,425,600 nutritious meals for disaster relief in the Philippines from Outreach’s Des Moines warehouse began on Monday, Dec. 23. Five forty-foot containers began loading in the frigid weather that day. Two more loaded on Tuesday and the remaining loaded on Thursday. Since the previous announcement in November of one million meals donated, an additional 425,600 meals have been provided. The meals were packaged by volunteers across the U.S. and will be distributed in the Philippines by Somebody Cares International, Rotary International, and Comprehensive Disaster Response Services.
“We are delighted that Rotary International made it possible to send additional meals and we appreciate Somebody Cares International for their support,” said Outreach, Inc. Founder Floyd Hammer. “We are very grateful to Food for Kidz in Minnesota and Friends Against Hunger in Missouri for also contributing meals. We are sending a real Christmas present to the Philippines!”
Rotary International Clubs in the U.S. and Philippines are integral partners in this initiative. Rotary District 6000 of Iowa and District 7230 of New York, under the leadership of District Governors Jacque Andrew, Matts Ingemanson, and Outreach Board Member Renato Romano of the Beverly Hills Rotary are providing financial support for transport of the meals. Mr. Romano presented the Outreach program to Rotary Clubs in Beverly Hills, New York, and Washington, D.C. to raise additional funds for the Philippine effort.
Somebody Cares International, a non-profit with expertise in disaster and crisis response, Vice President, Jodie Chiricosta says, “We are so grateful for the partnership with Outreach. Together with Rotary we will be able to deliver and assist with the distribution of the 1.5 million nutritious meals to typhoon survivors in some of the hardest hit areas. It will be a life-saver for many communities — a real answer to prayer.”
Comprehensive Disaster Response Services (CDRS), also on the ground in the Philippines, and Romano will assist with the distribution of the meals. Distribution of meals will be under the personal guidance of Philippine Rotary Governor Daumonguiller Tumangan. Rotarians at Cebu, Manila, and Tacloban will assist in delivery and distribution. The shipping time is forty-five to sixty days.
Together is indeed, a wonderful place to be!


text: Hi, I am trying to source smaller crystals (~2520) for USB support on the STM32F401. The best I can find so far is 1.5mA/V. I am calculating based on the information in AN2867 and the datasheet not mentioning Gm(as AN2867 requests), but a Max Gmcrit of 1mA/V. I assume that the max is a hard number and I am interpreting the table Table 37. HSE 4-26 MHz oscillator characteristics in the datasheet correctly. Would 12 or 16Mhz crystal still drive USB OK? I don't believe any other feature on the chip requires an ext crystal.

There's been a lot of talk about Hulk and She-Hulk the past few weeks. The rumor mill has been churning out reports left and right, some about the She-Hulk series, others about a Hulk standalone movie.
Today, the mill suggests that Marvel might be interested in having a Wolverine vs. Hulk movie.
According to a report by Cosmic Book News, word on the street says that Marvel is thinking of developing a Wolverine vs. Hulk movie. The project is going to introduce the Immortal Hulk into the Marvel Cinematic Universe and then pit him against Logan.
While it seems rather unlikely that we'll ever get to see a Wolverine vs. Hulk movie in Phase 4 or Phase 5 of the MCU, Ruffalo isn't entirely against the idea of having Wolverine and Hulk throw punches in their very own Marvel movie.
In fact, the actor pitched it himself while attending Tokyo Comic-Con in November last year after telling fans that he had been asked by Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige whether he had any more ideas or stories for the Hulk.
"'Yeah, I think there is still some stories to tell.' And he said, ‘Why don't you come in and tell me about them and we'll see if we can find a place for you in the Marvel Universe,'" the actor told fans during the convention.
"Hulk versus Wolverine! I'd like to see that. Hulk versus Wolverine," Ruffalo quickly added.
As much as we'd love a Wolverine vs Hulk movie, we know that it might take time for Marvel to incorporate the X-Men into the MCU. We'll just have to wait and see whether this idea really ever comes into fruition.

2020 Lexus LX
I guess the Lexus LX and its cousinToyota LandCruiser might be up for a new design next year. So people are starting to come up with illustrations of what they could look like.
The one above shows one ugly beast. Even uglier than the current model.
Which means it could actually be pretty realistic…
I guess there is a market for such things… And will still be one by 2020.
Here is the current model.
Which I am sure is very capable off-road.
But in the US at least, it goes against trucks like the new Navigator and upcoming redesigned Escalade.
Which are really not as vulgar as this. No matter how hard they try…

ALBANY — New York’s incoming Republican State Party Chairman Nick Langworthy is open to legalizing marijuana.
“My predecessor certainly had strong feelings on that…I was a strong proponent of medicinal marijuana. As a Republican party leader I was probably the first, you know, in the state to take that on,” the Erie County GOP Chair told reporters Monday in Albany.
“I don’t have the same hostility toward the legalization of marijuana as maybe my predecessors did,” Langworthy said.
It’s a contrast to outgoing state party Chair Ed Cox, who in March launched an anti-weed legalization campaign, arguing the measure “doesn’t make sense” and involves “huge dangers.”
The GOP’s policy action commission analyzed data reports from other states like Colorado.
It recommended the decriminalization of pot possession rather than legalization across the board.
Langworthy later hedged.
“We should not be trying to lead the pack in the field of legalization of marijuana…I would rather no one smoke marijuana…law enforcement needs to be at the forefront of those discussions, making sure safety is at the utmost concern,” he said.
Langworthy made a pit stop to the state capitol to rail against another proposal that would give driver’s licenses to undocumented immigrants, calling it a “blatant disrespect to the taxpayers across the state.”
“Has anyone here enjoyed their last trip to the DMV? Now we’re going to have people that don’t have any documentation coming in and walking out with a driver’s license,” he said.
