The highest selling luxury car from Maruti’s product line up has gone under a total transformation. The new Maruti Swift, which will hit markets next month, will be more fuel efficient. It will be available in two variants, one powered by a 1.2l petrol engine, and the other powered by a 1.3l diesel engine.
This model is built on a new, slightly longer platform that is more lighter, roomy, and offers better mileage compared to the current generation model. Apart from this, engineers have even achieved a slight decrease in the total car weight by adding a plastic fuel tank in place of the earlier metal one. This will help to increase fuel efficiency by 13%.
This is one the car’s first major modifications since it became available in the market six years back. The company is yet to share the new model’s pricing details.
This new Swift is to be manufactured at their Manesar facility that was recently thrown in the spotlight because of labour unrests. While the petrol powered variant has a mileage of 20kmpl, the diesel powered variant has a mileage of 23.8kmpl.
The company collaborated with Plastic Omnium, based in France, for installing the new plastic fuel tanks. The France based company is the biggest plastic fuel tank maker in the world.
These tanks are about 25 to 35% lighter in comparison to traditional metal tanks. Apart from that, they are also corrosion resistant, non-explosive, easily recyclable and durable. Maruti Suzuki India entered into a three party venture with Plastic Omnium and Suzuki Motors for manufacturing these fuel tanks at their facility in Manesar.
An official from the industry stated that by opting for the plastic tanks in favour of the traditional metal ones, their general aim was to decrease the Swift’s overall weight. Maruti is also taking other measures for reducing the car’s weight. This was possible because of continuous efforts from the company.
The Inergy Auto Systems Manu Co. was inaugurated at the company’s Manesar facility on Monday. This company will be manufacturing the car’s plastic tank. Maruti is also likely to offer this vehicle with an auto 4 speed gear box for the petrol powered variant, apart from the standard manual 5 speed gear box.
The Swift preferred because of its solid built, big car feel, quality comfort and ride, has been leading the market in the luxury hatchback category in India, in spite of many launches by competing manufacturers.
The current Swift is offered in CNG, diesel and petrol variants, and is priced between INR 3.9 to 5.5 lakhs, selling around 12,000 models per month. The car recorded an increase of 21% in sales in 2010, selling more than 1,40,000 models, compared to previous year’s 1,16,000 units.
The Maruti Swift accounts for 25% share in the hatchback category, competing with the Volkswagen Polo, Hyundai i20, Fiat Punto, Toyota Liva and Nissan Micra. The company is also getting ready to introduce a new DZiRE models that will be priced competitively around early 2012.

Commodity Futures Modernization Act of 2000
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Commodity Futures Modernization Act of 2000 or CFMA (H.R. 5660 and S.3283) is United States federal legislation which repealed the Shad-Johnson jurisdictional accord, which had banned single-stock futures in 1982. The legislation also provided certainty that products offered by banking institutions would not be regulated as futures contracts.
This act was incorporated by reference into H.R. 4577, an omnibus spending bill. It was passed by the 106th United States Congress and signed by President Bill Clinton on December 21, 2000; the legislation thus became law as a part of H.R. 4577 - Public Law 106–554, §1(a)(5).
The act has been cited as a public-policy decision significantly contributing to Enron's bankruptcy in 2001 and the much broader liquidity crisis of September 2008 that led to the bankruptcy filing of Lehman Brothers and emergency Federal Reserve Bank loans to American International Group and to the creation of the U.S. Emergency Economic Stabilization fund.
The "Commodity Futures Modernization Act of 2000" (H.R. 5660) was introduced in the House on Dec. 14, 2000 by Rep. Thomas W. Ewing (R-IL) and cosponsored by Rep. Thomas J. Bliley, Jr. (R-VA) Rep. Larry Combest (R-TX) Rep. John J. LaFalce (D-NY) Rep. Jim Leach (R-IA) and never debated in the House.
The companion bill (S.3283) was introduced in the Senate on Dec. 15th, 2000 (The last day before Christmas holiday) by Sen. Richard Lugar (R-IN) and cosponsored by Sen. Peter Fitzgerald (R-IL) Sen. Phil Gramm (R-TX) Sen. Chuck Hagel (R-NE) Sen. Thomas Harkin (D-IA) Sen. Tim Johnson (D-SD) and never debated in the Senate.
Given the above-stated chronology, it would appear that the House and Senate versions of the bill were introduced just prior to the Christmas holiday in December of 2000, following George W Bush's (first) election (in November of 2000), while then-President Clinton was serving out his final days as President. The bill was never debated by the House or Senate. The bill by-passed the substantive policy committees in both the House and the Senate so that there were neither hearings nor opportunities for recorded committee votes. In substance, it appears that the leadership of the Republican-controlled Senate and House incorporated the deregulation of credit default swaps into an omnibus budget bill (without hearings or recorded votes) at a time when the outgoing president was in no position to veto anything. The following article argues that Bill Clinton and Alan Greenspan endorsed this law: The Bet That Blew Up Wall Street.

Amid the ongoing uncertainty concerning the financial impact the current Covid-19 pandemic looks set to have on most businesses, including football clubs, next season seems like an ideal opportunity for returning loan players to push for a place in the Liverpool first team.
Currently on loan at Hertha Berlin, Marko Grujić became Jürgen Klopp’s first signing for the Reds back in 2016 as a 19-year-old, but it may be the 2020/21 season that sees him get regular playing time at Anfield.
It would be fair to suggest that his Liverpool career hasn’t gone quite according to plan since his arrival. He would have hoped to push into the first team before now, but separate loan spells at Red Star Belgrade, Cardiff City and Hertha have prevented that from happening.
While playing time has been limited at his parent club, he has found no trouble gaining precious minutes this season in the Bundesliga, making 26 appearances and largely impressing during his time on the pitch.
Recent developments have suggested that money may be tight for Jürgen Klopp this summer, something which may encourage reassessment of talents that have been earning their keep elsewhere this season.
The effects of the Covid-19 pandemic appear to have played a significant role in the Reds choosing not to move for long-term target Timo Werner, who is set to join Chelsea. It is unknown whether Klopp will raise funds to improve the squad through new talent, or if he will instead look to give an opportunity to some of those already on the books.
Along with the likes of Harry Wilson, Grujić may well be able to offer a new dimension to the squad. The Serbian international possesses more of a physical presence than other Liverpool midfielders, and has developed technically during his time away from the club.
Now into his second year at Hertha Berlin, the 24-year-old has made quite the impression and, in the past, has been hailed as “by far the best midfielder at Hertha Berlin in 20 years”.
Former head coach Pál Dárdai heaped praise on Liverpool’s man during his time in charge of the capital club: “I’ve been at Hertha for 22 years. This isn’t meant as an insult to anyone else, but Marko is by far the best midfielder I’ve seen in my time here.”
Grujić is robust and can move around the pitch comfortably, helping maintain a solid structure to a midfield. In a sense his natural physique implies he’d be more suited to a defensive role, but his technique and power moving forward allows the potential for him to operate in a more advanced role.
There have been plenty of suggestions that Grujić could be a player on the move permanently, but reports are yet to be verified. In the meantime, the Serbian will be confident that he can force his way into the manager’s plans when he returns to Merseyside later this summer.
Liverpool are set to lose the long-serving Adam Lallana at the end of the season and with the futures of other players on loan also unknown, such as that of Harry Wilson, Grujić’s development stands him in good stead.
A much more mature player, stronger, smarter and with a more nurtured understanding of the game, he has been known to do the dirty work at Hertha but has also used his offensive assets to contribute five goals this season alone.
Of course oly Klopp, along with the likes of Michael Edwards, will know Liverpool’s intentions for the Serbian. After their previous work in the transfer market, it’s safe to trust their judgements.

Capítulo de livro publicado para os anais do evento HCI – International 2014, produzido por Marília Bergamo.
This papers aims to describe the historical introduction of paper prototyping techniques into interface development, what they basically consist of, and how such techniques can be applied on the development of Computer Digital Arts. With some examples applied on Digital Arts graduation courses at the Federal University of Minas Gerais in Brazil, this technique has proven to help the development of the artist’s intentionality, rather than blocking creativity. It helped students to focus on important concepts that needed to be transmitted by interaction, while usability made the piece friendly where it needed to be friendly. Thus, young art students have been acting in a traditional way when experimenting with materials, not only physically and visually, but also with the interactive environment that should be considered as material in Computer Digital Arts.

Car dashboard screens display navigation information, but drivers must lower their heads to view it. As a result, the driver’s eyes must be taken off the road, which can lead to an accident. Having a heads-up display in a car helps drivers avoid getting distracted while driving and provides guidance. There is no better solution to this issue than a heads-up display
The Heads-Up Display Breakdown
In a car, the heads-up display provides transparent information on the windshield. Drivers are not required to turn their heads because this data is reflected directly in their visual field.
HUD systems consist of projector units, combiners, and computers that generate videos.
The HUD system works in two different ways:
- A small section of the windshield contains transparent phosphors that are used by the HUD system to display information using projected laser beams.
- On the windshield, a reflective mirror section is used for the HUD. This mirror reflects a light embedded in the dash of the car onto the windshield.
Information like navigation, speed, tachometer, and even night vision can be displayed.
The rapid development of automation technology has brought forth the latest version of the heads-up display system. Information from the car’s GPS system, your phone’s internet and mobile applications will be displayed on the windshield so that it becomes a viewing screen. Data will soon be displayed on any surface using augmented reality.
The Advantages of Head-Up Displays
The HUD GPS Display can guide you regarding the most efficient route so that you can reach your destination safely and on time.
The latest HUDs include infrared cameras that can detect objects in the vicinity if you have limited visibility due to fog or darkness. Projected objects appear in the same position as in real life on your windshield. A collision or accident may be avoided by using a HUD.
If you don’t have a HUD in your car, consider investing in one when it’s time to buy a new one. It takes a bit of adjusting to, but once you get used to it, the benefits should become obvious!

Anthony Delgado, the founder of a non-profit organization, shared an inspiring story with CNN about how he used to be homeless himself and addicted to crack, but got his life back and began helping homeless people in his community.
Delgado became addicted to drugs after he was left at a train station when he was younger after a disagreement with his cousin. He told CNN, “I did a lot of bad things.”
Anthony was addicted for some time but an experience at a Greyhound station in Atlanta provided a turning point for him to get some help.
“He wasn’t feeling well. That’s when he says a man and woman came up to him and told him he should go to the VA hospital,” CNN writes, “He followed them, flinging the bus station door open roughly and drawing the attention of some police officers standing outside. The police told him to calm down and he said, “I’m sorry officer, I was just trying to catch that couple going out the door.” But the police said they didn’t see anyone. Others nearby hadn’t seen the couple either, according to Delgado.”
They then go on to explain that after facing a few obstacles, he was able to make it to the hospital and subsequently a rehab program. He told the pastor at the program about the mystery couple and the pastor replied, “Believe it or not, there are angels.”
Soon enough, Delgado was able to land a job and get his life back together. Anthony founded the non-profit organization I Care Atlanta, Inc. in 2008, according to their LinkedIn page. Coincidentally, the building where the organization operates is across the street from the train station he was left at all those years ago.
“God has a sense of humor,” Delgado told CNN.
Anthony and the I Care Atlanta team manage seven employees, has two buildings, 17 freezers and two trucks to carry out their charitable operations.
He said to CNN, “We all need to help each other. We’re in a bad state right now. We don’t know what’s happening one day to the next … Open your heart. Help your neighbor. Don’t be selfish. This me, me, me attitude is not gonna get us anywhere. It’s just not.”

A Brand New Home: Vivian Maier
Vivian Maier, the enigmatic street photographer whose photographs many believe rival the likes of Andre Kertesz and Henri Cartier-Bresson has been given a brand new website and it’s fantastic. We’ve written about her before, specifically in one of our exclusive Spotlights, but at the time the official website was fairly sparse when it came to imagery. The new site is gorgeous and features several galleries of her wonderful black & white work as well as newly released color photographs, including a gallery of brilliant self-portraits. Also on the new site is a completely revised About section, that attempts to piece together the mystery of Vivian Maier, the woman. The new site offers a fascinating overview of her work and life and acts as a fitting introduction to, or an extension of, the upcoming documentary Finding Vivian Maier. If you have even a passing interest in street photography, we cannot recommend the work of Vivian Maier enough. If you enjoy her work, be sure to check out the books Out of the Shadows and Vivian Maier: Street Photographer.

First time there and we got seated with a water view which was nice. Good menu choices and prices are similar for dune in fresh local seafood. Service was a bit rough but I saw they were busy and looked like they were trying to adjust to indoor dining again,which is fair. Would love to go back when the weather is dry for the outdoor deck on the water
Awesome sea food, service was fast and great. Nice presentation and fresh food. For us, we had no wait to be seated. Great for us; next door first option Mo's restaurant had 1 hour wait. Glad we made it to C-food. Like every restaurant in the main corridor, good luck finding a parking spot. Still all worth it!
Staff is extremely accommodating, friendly, and knowledgeable. The food is just amazing, no really, amazing! I've had several dishes on several occasions plus tasted of my kids and husband's plate and it's always been really tasty and fresh. Today, I had the calamari sandwich and it may be the best food I've ever had at any restaurant. It melted in my mouth. The restaurant itself is always clean and spacious, with comfortable seating outside also. Please, try this place out if you're in the area, it's worth a little splurging when you can.
Delicious cod fish and chips! Ate here as a group of 4 and we were not disappointed. Also ordered Cioppino, Halibut and chips, and fried shrimp and chips. We were hungry and forgot to take any photos 🤷♀
The wait was much shorter here than the restaurant next door. I wasn't disappointed! The fish and chips was tasty, with the fish batter being well seasoned. I even liked the coleslaw, which I don't normally eat. The service was prompt.

Bacon: Put it in ice cream
This article was originally on a blog post platform and may be missing photos, graphics or links. See About archive blog posts.
David Leibovitz’s story in this week’s Food section, “31 Flavors? Think Outside the Carton, Homemade Ice Cream Lovers,” definitely fires up the imagination when it comes to the wonderful world of ice cream, what with flavors like buckwheat and carrot cake.
But what really piqued my interest was a recipe from his blog, David Leibovitz: Living the Sweet Life in Paris. The former Chez Panisse pastry chef and author of “The Perfect Scoop” has a recipe for candied bacon ice cream.
Yes. Candied bacon ice cream.
And yes. I had to try it. Couldn’t help myself.
Truly amazing! The ice cream has a thick custard base sweetened with brown sugar, with just a little extra flavoring from rum or whiskey (we chose whiskey) and vanilla (you’ve also got the option of adding a little ground cinnamon for added spice). Churn the base until it’s almost frozen, then fold in some chopped fresh candied bacon and freeze. The results? Perfection.
Try it on its own or be creative. David suggests adding the candied bacon bits to homemade coffee ice cream or even avocado ice cream. I’m thinking next time I might just scoop a little of this goodness over a nice, hot waffle with a drizzle of maple syrup. Redefine breakfast a little.
In the meantime, this gets No. 27 on my list of 1,001 things to do with bacon.

Biden Picks Connecticut Schools Chief Miguel Cardona As Education Secretary.
He does believe in more screening for early detection of learning disabilities.
He also told Sen. Bill Cassidy, R-La., that he supported better screening tools in the early grades to help determine students’ special needs.
However, he did not explicitly agree with Cassidy that there should be universal screening for dyslexia in kindergarten and 1st-grade students; up to one in five children have dyslexia, according to estimates.

Hopefully, he will embrace the idea of universal screening for dyslexia.

1 Why are my irises not flowering this year?
Not a single flower? Not one? That’s surprising. I bet they have been diminishing for years and have reached the bitter end; either starved or shaded to a standstill. The good news is that they are tough, especially the old varieties, so just replant them in late June — replenishing the soil with some good rich compost first — or solve the shade issue. Many modern varieties can starve to death and it may be a case of salvaging a few decent rhizomes from the remains and building them up to flowering again for a year or two in improved soil.

The NFL playoffs are one game away from being concluded. They occurred, of course, without the participation of the Redskins, an all too frequent occurrence in the past decade and a half. With the coaches being involved in season-ending meetings and the players scattering to their homes and various vacation destinations it’s doubtful that they paid much attention to the proceedings in the 10 postseason games played so far.

UPDATE: I found another solution to fix this problem but not fully fix it, it's an alternative. I removed the splice connector off of the headlight wire and directly connected the red cord to the battery. I did some testing and it worked for me. Only downfall, it does not dim the DRLs(obviously) but they do not flicker while the engine is running anymore. I suppose another way to fix this would be to wire it to a switch to dim the DRLs instead but that would be kind of a pain. Hope this somewhat helps others with this issue.

Install Mercedes Benz LED Illuminated Grille Emblem
Can you perform this on a dyno or on jackstands with the wheels in the air? or perhaps without wheels with the car on jackstands? That way you won't be on the road (with an expired tag?) and you can do this from the comfort of your hopefully well ventilated garage or even backyard. I've read the test will be nullified if you exceed 60mph, give large fluctuations in throttle, or go over 3000 RPM. To make things easier, I use cruise control, but I'm not sure if that invalidates the test either...
So im doing this on my 06 sti.....do you recommend running 1 or 2 sets of quick releases? I notice you have 2 sets? I was planning on running only one though but just curious.

Nice installation guide, had a bit of issues with the wiring because of different DRL brands but I got that all figured out. Only one issue I have found. When the car is running, and headlights are on (at this time, the LEDs should dim and they do but), the LEDs seem to flicker. When I have the lights on and engine is off, it doesn't do this. Any solutions?

Another error: many ones did this wrong: your DRL should be about same position (wide) as car's head lamp. For obvious safety reason. The position you installed won't pass inspection in EU (because I tried and failed to pass)
Hello! your DIY spirit is good but: this is not gonna go through annual inspection (at least in EU) and it is potential dangerous in electrics (if your lights get shorted in humid/raining weather what do you expect to happen?)according to regulation (at least in EU), the day time running lights should turn off when other lights turned on (low beam, high beam, fog lights etc). So, please do not connect your lights according to this article, whatever reason it is, your car is not for experimental tool and you won't pass inspection in EU.

Skip to comments.Decision by Martz awaited (Montana)
Posted on 05/18/2003 10:58:02 PM PDT by LdSentinal
HELENA - Many Montana politicians are eyeing the 2004 governor's race, but many Republicans are waiting to see whether Gov. Judy Martz decides to run for re-election before announcing their plans.
So far, only two major party candidates have declared: Democrat Brian Schweitzer of Whitefish, who lost a close race to U.S. Sen. Conrad Burns in 2000, and Republican Tom Keating, a former long-time Billings legislator who ran unsuccessfully for lieutenant governor in 2000.
Also, Robert Kelle-her, a Butte lawyer, Constitutional Convention delegate and frequent candidate, has announced that he will run, but he hasn't disclosed on which political party ticket.
The major question looming is Martz.
So far, Martz hasn't announced her plans. A statement released by her office said she "is giving serious thought to her political future and whether she will seek re-election to a second term." Martz is expected to announce her decision at about the time of the state Republican Party convention, June 27-29 in Missoula.
If she declares for re-election, Martz may well see some additional Republican challengers. If she doesn't, a wild scramble is expected in the Republican primary.
Despite rumors to the contrary, U.S. Rep. Denny Rehberg, who already has four statewide races under his belt, made it clear he isn't running for governor next year.
"I'm not interested," he said. "I really, really enjoy the job that I have and hope that I'm doing the job well enough that people will want me to remain in this position. I've got committee assignments that I think can help Montanans, the most vulnerable Montanans."
On the Democratic side, State Auditor John Morrison said he has said repeatedly that he's not running for governor and would likely seek re-election. Morrison, however, added that he never rules out anything.
Senate Minority Leader Jon Tester, D-Big Sandy, said he'd be interested, but the timing isn't right for him. Tester, a farmer, added: "It takes a lot of money. It just doesn't fit right now for me."
Here's a closer look, by party, at the announced candidates or those who haven't ruled a race out, based on State Bureau interviews:
Bob Brown: Brown represented the Whitefish area in the Montana House and Senate for 26 years and was Senate president in 1995. The former teacher won a tough race over Hal Harper, a Helena Democrat who served as House speaker, to capture the secretary of state's race in 2000. Brown has been a highly visible secretary of state.
Roy Brown: The Billings businessman and House majority leader in the 2003 session said he's waiting to see what Martz decides. He said he has some interest in the job but hasn't made up his mind yet.
Rick Hill: A former two-term U.S. representative and former GOP state chairman, Hill has shown in the past that he is a tough and aggressive campaigner, winning the open seat that had been held by Democrat Pat Williams, who retired. Hill said he's about two-third finished with the law school classes he is taking over the Internet and is scheduled to graduate one month before the election.
Bob Keenan: After serving in the House for two terms, Keenan has been in the Senate since 1999 and was elected as its president for the 2003 session. He and his wife own the Bigfork Inn restaurant. Keenan said he wants to see what Martz decides.
Tom Keating: The petroleum landman and longtime Billings lawmaker announced in November that he would be a candidate for governor in 2004 on a platform that calls on Montana to return to its basic natural resources industries because they create high-paying jobs. Keating served in the Senate from 1981 until he was term-limited in 2001 and was appointed to the House last summer to fill a vacancy. He ran for lieutenant governor as Natelson's running mate in 2000.
Judy Martz: Martz isn't talking publicly about her plans, but her office issued the statement saying she is seriously considering her political future. It said Martz has had many speaking e ngagements and interviews with reporters around the state, not just in Helena. Martz is a former field staff representative for U.S. Sen. Conrad Burns in Butte and was picked by Racicot to be his running mate as lieutenant governor in 2000. She won a contested Republican primary in 2000 and defeated O'Keefe in the general election despite being outspent 3-to-1.
Ken Miller: The state Republican Party chairman since 2001, Miller served in the Senate from 1995 until 2003. The roofing contractor and businessman has said he may run for governor instead of re-election as party chairman,. He would only run for governor if Martz decides not to run.
Doug Mood: A businessman who formerly was a top executive in Pyramid Mountain Lumber Co. in Seeley Lake, Mood capped off his four terms in the House by being elected as its speaker in the 2003 session.
Rob Natelson: The University of Montana law professor has been a political activist in Montana since the early 1990s, founding Montanans for Better Government and Montana Conservatives and leading several referendum and initiative campaigns. Natelson lost Republican primary campaigns for governor to Marc Racicot in 1996 and Martz in 2000.
Karl Ohs: He has been lieutenant governor under Martz since 2001 and at one time expressed disappointment in his not getting more substantive assignments. Ohs is a rancher and former three-term representative and majority whip from Harrison. He said he's waiting to see what Martz does.
Mike Taylor: Taylor, a Rollins businessman who has served in the state Senate for eight years, was handily defeated by Democratic incumbent Max Baucus in the 2002 U.S. Senate race but may still have other political plans. Taylor said he has a lot of respect for Martz and awaits her decision.
Fred Thomas: A long-time legislator, Thomas has been Senate majority leader the past two sessions. He is in the insurance business and has a construction bonding business. Thomas served in the House from 1985-93 and in the Senate since 1997.
Bill Kennedy: The commissioner from state's most populous county, Yellowstone County, said he's interested in running, and will wait until the end of the summer to decide. Kennedy said he's traveling around the state to talk to Montanans about whether he should run. He believes that Montanans needs a governor with proven leadership and a connection to local government.
Joe Mazurek: A lawyer in private practice after serving as Montana's attorney general for eight years, Mazurek served in the Montana Senate from 1981 until 1993. He was Senate president in 1991. Mazurek placed second in the three-way Democratic primary for governor in 2000.
Mike McGrath: After serving as Lewis and Clark County attorney for 18 years, McGrath was elected Montana's attorney general in 2000. He previously lost for attorney general in 1988 and placed second in a three-way Democratic primary for governor in 1992.
Mark O'Keefe: He served in four years in the state House and eight years as state auditor before winning a three-way Democratic primary for governor in 2000. O'Keefe lost to Martz in the general election by 51 to 47 percent. He now runs a consulting business. He said entering a race early doesn't necessarily hurt candidates but doesn't help them as much as some people believe.
Brian Schweitzer: After giving U.S. Sen. Conrad Burns a close race in 2000, Schweitzer has never really stopped running. The Whitefish farmer has spoken at Democratic gatherings, large and small, all over the state. He is running for governor. Schweitzer has raised a record $254,903 as of March 31 for his 2004 race.
I don't know, but he'll be 72 at the start of that term and I'm wondering if he might not be considering retirement by then. Only 2 sitting Senators have run for reelection at that age or older in MT, and only 1 (James Murray) was successful in winning. When Murray finally retired in 1961 at the age of 84, he went home and died 2 months later.


Legal advice from EVERLEGAL team explains the ins and outs of the solar power boom underway in Ukraine, but this is only a part of the story of Ukraine’s nascent green revolution. The recent gas spat with Russia has (once again) proven how unreliable our friends to the north are when it comes to energy supply, and continue to demonstrate not just to Ukraine – but also to Europe – how important energy diversification is.
While we know we must move away from hydrocarbons to help heal the planet (yes, climate change is real) and Ukraine is making strides in generating more power from renewable sources, that’s only part of the story. Prime Minister Groysman recently announced that Ukraine should aim to cut gas consumption by 1/3 in the coming years, and one of the ways the country can achieve this is by improving energy efficiency.
Putting their money where their mouth is, 400,000 households received “warm loans” from the government to help meet costs for installing insulation, fitting modern windows, and installing more efficient boilers in the last year. It’s just scratching the surface so far, but certainly a step in the right direction!
In further good news on this topic, it was also recently announced that the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, a key supporter of reforms in Ukraine, has just signed a deal to finance a new solar plant in Vinnytsia to the tune of €29.5 million. Now all we need is for the sun to start making regular appearances, and we’re golden. Literally.

It appears that DirecTV dubiously dropping Newsmax and One America News within months of each other may be connected to the lawsuit by Dominion Voting Systems against the two news outlets.
AT&T, which holds the majority ownership stake in DirecTV (70 percent), is overseen by its liberal Board Chairman William Kennard, who’s been accused of directly interfering in the decision by DirecTV to drop OAN April 2022. This development happened just under a year after it was reported that Dominion Voting Systems, the voting tech company that was the subject of controversy during the 2020 election, had launched billion-dollar lawsuits against both OAN and Newsmax in 2021 for spreading what NPR called “misinformation” about “rigging the ballots.” DirecTV has since deplatformed both outlets.
Kennard is one of the three executive board members of Staple Street Capital, the middle market private equity firm that — along with the Dominion Voting Systems management team — acquired Dominion Voting Systems in 2018. Kennard’s executive role at Staple Street Capital — of which he reportedly joined in 2014 — involved “principally focus[ing] on the communications and media sectors and other regulated industries.” Kennard also joined AT&T’s board in 2014, and was named AT&T chairman just three days after the tumultuous 2020 election.
In other words, the chairman of the company that owns the programming distributor that dropped OAN and Newsmax, is also an executive board member of the firm that owns the voting company that’s suing both outlets.
In a lawsuit that OAN filed against AT&T and DirecTV in March 2022 alleging breach of contract, owner Herring Networks asserted that “Kennard is motivated to use his role and position of influence at AT&T to induce DIRECTV not to continue its carriage of OAN, to the benefit of Kennard, Staple Street, and Dominion and to the detriment of OAN.” The lawsuit stipulated that “[w]hen DIRECTV’s [Chief Content Officer] Rob Thun informed Herring of the decision not to renew the Affiliation Agreement, Thun added that the decision was ‘political’ and was made at the board level, implying that AT&T leadership such as Kennard influenced the nonrenewal decision.”
Kennard also happens to be very connected to President Joe Biden and left-wing political circles, having served in high profile government positions during President Barack Obama’s and President Bill Clinton’s administrations. Kennard was previously the ambassador to the European Union under Obama, and served as chairman of the Federal Communications Commission during Clinton’s presidency.
MRC Business & Free Speech America Vice President Dan Schneider said in a statement that “there are lots of corporations that have gone completely woke, but the AT&T chairman stands apart.” He continued: “It seems like he’s using his positions at multiple organizations to silence conservatives and conservative media. This is a betrayal of stockholders and to the idea of our nation’s founding.”
Less than a year after OAN’s deplatforming, Newsmax reported Jan. 25 that DirecTV “cut” the outlet’s “signal, immediately shutting the network off from more than 13 million customers of the satellite service, DirecTV Stream, and U-Verse." Newsmax said it was “seeking a fee with a 75% discount to its market value, and compared to fees currently paid by DirecTV, almost all 50 channels below Newsmax in ratings get higher fees.” Even liberal Newsweek cast doubt on DirecTV’s fairness with regards to Newsmax.
After propping up DirecTV’s excuse that it didn’t give Newsmax a “carriage fee” due to supposedly low ratings, Newsweek noted Newsmax’s point that the leftist “Vice TV receives full carriage and license fees from DirecTV, despite having an audience of [only] 60,000, according to USTVDB figures.”
Both Newsmax CEO Christopher Ruddy and OAN asserted “political” discrimination as a reason behind their deplatforming from DirecTV. Interestingly, Federal Election Commission records suggest that Kennard donated the maximum-allowed individual contribution for the 2022 electoral cycle of $5,800 to Friends of Schumer [affiliated with Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY)] on Nov. 30, 2021. The FEC listed "Astra Capital Management" as Kennard's employer at the time, which he co-founded.
Just a few months after Kennard’s donation(s), Newsmax TV host Joe Pinion would challenge Schumer for his senate seat in January, 2022. Pinion would go on to lose his bid in the November 2022 midterm elections, and Newsmax would be axed from AT&T’s DirecTV the following January. MRC Business reached out to AT&T, Staple Street and Astra Capital Management 18 times collectively either through phone or email requesting comment on Kennard’s donations to a Schumer-affiliated group. No response was given as of the publication of this article.
OAN launched its breach of contract lawsuit against DirecTV in March 2022. In January 2023, San Diego Superior Court Judge John S. Meyer ruled that the suit could continue, staving off an attempt by AT&T, DirecTV and others to kill it.
According to Times of San Diego, “Almost a year ago — Jan. 14, 2022 — Bloomberg News posted a story titled ‘DirecTV to Drop One America News in Blow to Conservative Channel.’ The story was accurate — quoting an email from DirecTV — but the Herrings [OAN owners] say the note breached a confidentiality agreement with the satellite-TV provider by disclosing when its deal expired.”
Meyer reportedly stated in his tentative ruling: “‘DIRECTV argues that Herring has not alleged resulting damages. However, having adequately alleged a breach of the confidentiality provision, Herring would at a minimum be entitled to nominal damages.’” A “major sticking point,” reported Times of San Diego, was a “Herring demand to put AT&T board chairman William Kennard under oath in a deposition and collect documents involving his alleged effort to end the DirecTV deal with OAN. Kennard’s lawyers are balking.” Meyer will reportedly “hear arguments for and against ordering Kennard to answer questions” Apr. 21, 2023.
Sens. Mike Lee (R-UT) and Ted Cruz (R-TX) both signed a letter to the AT&T Board of Directors in March 2022 expressing “grave concern” about the liberal Kennard’s connections to DirecTV’s decision to deplatform OAN:
These facts raise serious questions about the role of political influence in DirecTV’s programming decisions, as well as whether AT&T’s Chairman has allowed personal financial considerations to influence his oversight of a company in which AT&T holds a majority share—possibly in conflict with his fiduciary obligations to AT&T shareholders.
Lee and Cruz pointed out at the time that AT&T also “controls two seats on DirecTV’s board of directors.”
Conservatives are under attack. Contact ABC News (818) 460-7477, CBS News (212) 975-3247 and NBC News (212) 664-6192 and demand they report on Kennard’s connections to both DirecTV’s deplatforming trend and an ongoing lawsuit against OAN and Newsmax.

Congratulations are in order! Ludacris put a ring on his longtime girlfriend, Eudoxie Agnan, on Friday, Dec. 26. See the stunning way he proposed, here.
Eudoxie Agnan & Ludacris Engaged — Rapper Pulls Off Mile-High Proposal
While on a private flight from Atlanta to Costa Rica, Ludacris proposed “in front of the couple’s closest friends,” including Monica and Shannon Brown, LeToya Luckett, and Marco Andretti, according to Rap-Up.com and The Honesty Hour.
The rapper had “Eudoxie, will you marry me?” written (perhaps spray painted?) on a field. And as they flew over, Ludacris allegedly told Eudoxie to look out the window, the site claims.
“She didn’t say yes. She said HELL YES!#milehighproposal,” Ludacris captioned his Instagram photo (seen above) on Dec. 26.
Eudoxie also posted the image, but captioned hers with: “BEST DAY OF MY LIFE WITH THE LOVE OF MY LIFE!!! ❤ #milehighproposal.”
Ludacris and Eudoxie have been dating since 2008, according to Rap-Up.com. This will be the rapper’s first marriage — he has two daughters from a previous relationship.
We’re so happy for Ludacris and Eudoxie! We wish them a lifetime of happiness and can’t wait to see how their wedding unfolds.

Summer 1980. Björn Borg (Sverrir Gudnason), rock star of tennis, is after his fifth Wimbledon title. John McEnroe (Shia LaBeouf), an up-and-comer notorious for his on-court outbursts, is after his first. Their preparations—Borg’s involve almost OCD-ish rituals, McEnroe’s a lot of partying—are intercut with flashbacks from childhood and the paths that led them to this showdown. Perhaps it’s not unexpected that this Swedish/Danish/Finnish coproduction—though one with lots of English-language dialogue—focuses more on the Swede than the American, though that’s where the surprising bit of the story is. While their public personas lead one Wimbledon announcer to dub them “Ice Borg and Super Brat,” we see that Borg struggled mightily with his own anger in the game, cursing refs and throwing tantrums just as McEnroe does, until he learned to control his emotions. (The real Borg’s own son, Leo, plays the tween Björn.) Sports movies are never about sports, and this uncommonly elegant and unexpectedly moving one is not about tennis, but about how two very different men cope—or don’t—in very different ways with their rage.
Director: Janus Metz

Bank of New York Mellon Corp. is now open for crypto business.
BNY Mellon won the approval of New York’s financial regulator earlier this fall to begin receiving select customers’ bitcoin and ether starting this week. The bank will store the keys required to access and transfer those assets, and provide the same bookkeeping services on those digital currencies that it offers to fund managers for their portfolios of stocks, bonds, commodities and other assets.
The move marks an important milestone for traditional banks and their growing acceptance of digital assets as a legitimate market and a source of new business. While many Wall Street executives still question crypto’s potential and aim to tread cautiously until Washington clarifies how the market will be regulated, firms have responded to calls from a growing number of large investment-firm clients to step into their traditional role as intermediaries.
Money managers have long relied on BNY Mellon and other custody banks for an array of vital, if humdrum, back-office functions such as tracking changes to the value of their assets. Founded by Alexander Hamilton more than two centuries ago, BNY Mellon is the world’s biggest custody bank.
Until now, fund managers would have had to custody their digital currencies with a crypto specialist. BNY Mellon said it is the first of the eight systemically important U.S. banks to store digital currencies and allow customers to use one custody platform for both its traditional and crypto holdings.
“We are excited to help drive the financial industry forward,” Robin Vince, BNY Mellon’s president and chief executive, said in a statement.
BNY Mellon unveiled its plans in February 2021 to hold and transfer digital currencies on behalf of investment firms, and has since integrated its crypto custody business into its core accounting platform. The bank is using software developed with Fireblocks to store those digital holdings, BNY Mellon said. And Chainalysis’s software will help the bank analyze and track the path the assets take before they arrive at the bank, it said.
The platform will go live with select investment-fund firms this week. The bank said it expects to expand its crypto custody offerings to additional clients in the future, pending regulatory approvals.
This year’s dramatic selloff in digital currencies wiped out $2 trillion in value, reminding individual investors and deep-pocketed institutions alike of the market’s volatility. The downturn also triggered the collapse of several prominent crypto firms, renewing calls to impose more investor protections on businesses that trade, store and lend digital assets.

A philosopher says that a meaningful and fulfilling life comes down to 4 basic pillars
By | Lachlan Brown | hackspirit.com
We’re often told that we should make decisions based on what will make us “happy”.
But does operating this way really lead to a more fulfilling life? Not exactly.
In fact, according to modern day philosopher Emily Esfahani Smith, chasing happiness can actually make us unhappy.
Instead, she says that there’s something more powerful we should all be searching for. Here are the 4 pillars of life.

MORAGA — The New Rheem Theatre will go dark June 30 following a rent increase its operators say they can”t afford.
The 58-year-old theater on Park Street is wrapping up a five-year run under the current management, theater operator Derek Zemrak confirmed in an email. No special events to mark the closure are currently planned.
Zemrak said he learned May 30 about the 60 percent hike, an increase from $5,000 to $8,000 per month. Notice of the rent increase was shown on the Rheem”s iconic art deco marquee over the weekend, alongside a brief announcement that the theater is being forced to close soon.
The theater was built in 1957 by developer Donald Rheem as a single-screen movie house and, like other grand old movie houses across the country, has had its ups and downs, even closing for a stretch during the 1970s, before it was converted it to a multiplex in the 1990s.
In addition to showing first-run, classic and independent films, the Rheem has hosted live music, theater and poetry readings, among other events. The theater also screens movies as part of the annual California Independent Film Festival and is home to a Classic Film Hall of Fame, which is filled with everything from original scripts to wardrobes and props.
The theater is managed by Zemrak Pirkle Productions, of which Zemrak is the managing member. The entity also operates the nearby Orinda Theatre.
Despite what he characterized as an amicable relationship with property owner Mahesh Puri, Zemrak said he was surprised by the steep increase. However, he acknowledged Puri has helped keep the Rheem afloat for nearly five years.
“Four and half years ago, (the owner) lowered our rent and never raised it, which helped the theater stay open and operate,” Zemrak said. “Mr. Puri basically subsidized the rent for over 4 1/2 years.”
According to attorney David Bowie, who is representing Puri, the property owner can no longer continue to help fund the theater.
In addition to $30,000 worth of improvements to the Rheem stemming from an Americans with Disabilities Act lawsuit, other factors are driving the rent increase, including maintenance, property taxes and insurance. Puri, Bowie said, is “upside-down” on the property, and theater operators don”t have enough business to sustain the rent.
Saying the theater operates on a very small margin, Zemrak acknowledged that revenues outweigh costs some months, but costs exceed revenue during others. Independent and community theaters like the Rheem are closing across the country.
But while saying theaters that survive are commonly owned by municipalities or nonprofit organizations, Zemrak was realistic about his expectations for any intervention by town leaders. “The town does not have funds to purchase the theater,” he said.
Calling the closure a shame, Vice Mayor Mike Metcalf said in an email that the town has looked into saving the Rheem, and a pro bono consultant is studying whether Moraga should consider investing in the theater. Town Manager Jill Keimach said regulations prohibit the town from making a gift of public funds to the theater but that the community could set up a foundation or look into private grant funding.
The theater has been on the market since September. Realtor Dave Schnayer confirmed Monday that the building and adjacent retail shops are still listed for $4.75 million.
Possible future preservation of the theater recently served as the impetus for new regulations in Moraga governing historic structures and other landmarks. Puri opposed the regulations because they do not require that an owner consent to historic designation — a move his attorney argues diminishes property value as it impacts potential uses, among other issues.

Follistatin 315 1mg / vial
White powder Growth Hormone Peptides Powder 1mg Follistatin 315 Antibody FST-315
Follistatin is a single-chain gonadal protein that specifically inhibits follicle-stimulating hormone release.
The single FST gene encodes two isoforms, FST317 and FST344 containing 317 and 344 amino acids respectively, resulting from alternative splicing of the precursor mRNA.
In a study in which 37 candidate genes were tested for linkage and association with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) or hyperandrogenemia in 150 families, evidence was found for linkage between PCOS and follistatin.
Follistatin (FST) is a secreted glycoprotein that was first identified as a folliclestimulating hormone inhibiting substance in ovarian follicular fluid (1, 2). Human Follistatin cDNA encodes a 344 amino acid (aa) protein with a 29 aa signal sequence, an Nterminal atypical TGF binding domain, three Follistatin domains that contain EGFlike and kazallike motifs, and a highly acidic Cterminal tail. Follistatin is a secreted protein that binds to ligands of the TGF-Beta family and regulates their activity by inhibiting their access to signaling receptors. It was originally discovered as activin antagonists whose activity suppresses expression and secretion of the pituitary hormone FSH (follicle stimulating hormone). In addition to being a natural antagonist, follistatin can inhibit the activity of other TGF-Beta ligands including BMP-2,-4,-6,-7, Myostatin, GDF-11, and TGF-Beta1. Follistatin is expressed in the pituitary, ovaries, decidual cells of the endometrium, and in some other tissues. Recombinant human Follistatin 315 is a 34.7 kDa protein containing amino acids 30-344 of the FST-344 protein.
Follistatin 315 Application
Follistatin 315 primary function is the binding and bioneutralization of members of the TGF-β superfamily, with a
particular focus on activin, a paracrine hormone.
Follistatin 315 Effect For Muscle Growth:
In additional to suppressing the degenerative properties of myostatin, follistatin also suppresses the pituitary gland synthesis and secretion of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH).  High FSH levels in men may indicate that testicles are not functioning correctly; this condition limits muscle growth, recovery, and normal hormonal function.However, FSH levels that are too low can also negatively impact health and reproductive capabilities.
Follistatin is fascinating protein that can increase muscle mass beyond natural potential by suppressing myostatin. Scientists first identified follistatin while examining porcine (re: pig) follicular fluid in the ovaries.
Follistatin is naturally found in the skeletal muscle of almost all mammals with advanced or developed characteristics, such as humans, rodents, and cows. Follistatin is high in the
non-essential amino acid cystine but unlike most proteins discussed in the fitness world, follistatin has carbohydrates attached to it.
Follistatin, specifically Follistatin 344 (FS344), quickly gained popularity in the bodybuilding community as a potential supplement to rapidly increase lean tissue mass. Another protein, follistatin-related gene (FLRG) acts on similar pathways as FS344 regarding its muscle building properties. Increased lean tissue mass could give a bodybuilder an advantage in a competitive setting and be the differentiating factor between first and second place.
Follistatin (FS) was initially identified as a follicle-stimulating hormone inhibiting substance found in ovarian follicular fluid. FS is a high-affinity activin-binding protein that can act as an activin antagonist. Two alternatively spliced follistatin mRNAs exist, encoding mature FS with 288 amino acid (aa) residues (FS-288) and 315 aa residues (FS-315). Natural FS purified from porcine ovaries is primarily a carboxy-terminal truncated form of FS-315 composed of 300 aa residues.
Follistatin 315 Storage Instruction
