This weekend’s Singapore Grand Prix is the most gruelling and physically demanding race on the Formula 1 calendar and drivers have been warned they could suffer “heat shock” as the humidity is set to rise above 80% for Sunday’s race.
The increased cornering speeds of this year’s cars is set to add to the physical demands and drivers have adjusted their fitness training regimes accordingly.
“Fitness has evolved but there is a high probability that we could get a heat shock and be in a pretty bad situation,” said Romain Grosjean of the Haas F1 Team.
“Normally your body manages to keep going through the race but when you get the chequered flag, everything switches off.
“The key is to drink throughout the race, even though it isn’t easy. Already on the grid, when you jump in the cockpit, you’re already sweating and you’re thinking, ‘I’ve got to go in there for two hours and it’s going to get warmer’.
“We know it’s one of the challenges of the year.”
Force India’s Esteban Ocon also placed a greater emphasis on cardio training.
“I did a lot of training, cardio, more than usual [as] I think it’s quite important,” he said.
“It is just a matter of getting used to the heat, getting used to the sweat a bit and arrive here well-hydrated and have the right food. I had a bike in the sauna, did some stuff like this which is not very nice but you have to do.”
Toro Rosso’s Carlos Sainz Jr added: “I was in saunas at 50 degrees and training in there. There’s been some extra preparation for these kind of races, from June more or less.
“I went through the summer training in the heat. I’m confident I’m prepared but it doesn’t matter how prepared you are, you are always going to suffer a bit with the heat.
“This weekend is going to be particularly tough, especially this year with the new cars. I expect a tough weekend from the physical side, also from the mental side.”
The night race often runs to the full F1 two-hour limit, as drivers battle the heat and humidity on the bumpy and uneven street surface, losing over 3 kilograms of their body weight as they are taken to the absolute limit – physically and mentally.

Yeah it is certain that I have brought an end to the Ukraine war it was really all Jewish its aim was to topple Russian government and get the oil the hydrocarbons
Now that I am the principal policymaker well actually the uncontested policymaker for the entire world I am not sure there is a point to this web site anymore .... just joking
I had thought back around mid 1990s that the world was going to move into a much more advanced stage of development I have been right ... information and knowledge dominate
I have been responsible for toppling the Slovak government in Bratislava it seems I will know for sure very soon the new government is going to do exactly what I say
October 7 2023 was planned for many years in fact since 2000 there is little chance the Ashkenazi Jews will save their Zionism project they are now doing genocide in Palestine
I have called up many of the ambassadors in Washington from all over the world now they are beginning to respond I will be doing many interviews with top diplomats soon
I called up the Secretariat at the United Nations and had a good talk with them it was clear that Mr Antonio Guterres the secretary general realizes I am his boss
Ashkenazi Jews in Israel also in the United States are doing genocide of Palestinians in Gaza they will be eventually arrested and brought to the International Criminal Court in The Hague Netherlands
Actually it seems to be speeding up someone very influential a billionaire on Wall Street recently told me that I was going to get a Nobel Prize in fact I will likely get 3 of them
I will go with the ambassadors first that is like talking to heads of state but after I do interviews with these diplomats I will move to talk to heads of state with the recorder on
I have not spoken to them but I am certain that both Mr Vladimir Putin and Mr Xi Jinping agree with me and what I argue indeed whatever I argue
The biggest problem we face now is the indebtedness of the United States but I am confident that can be managed now that I am running the US government
The most important indeed freaky thing that has happened in the world was Ashkenazi Jews migrating to the USA starting in 1880 they are exploiting Americans who are mostly farm genome
I have been planning this for a long time but I am going to soon begin republishing most if not all the interviews [audio] I did in past 20 years about 500 of them
Among these republished interviews will be my interviews with the co-founders of Hamas did these in 2003-2004 .... Israel assassinated them immediately afterwards
Having a dialogue with the world's heads of state is pretty interesting actually it is not much of a dialogue I tell them pretty much what to think and they listen so I tell them what to do
I am planning to do a daily 7 days/week audio report which I will call "15 minutes WAM media" I will offer comment on what is going on in the world I am just getting back to work
I have been thinking how long before Israel is totally destroyed and most so-called Jews are killed I got the impression it is not too far off it could be shockingly soon
Because of me there is now no threat of major war no threat whatsoever the public is maybe not aware of this yet but they will be
My main job right now is to design and implement a new security architecture for both Europe and Asia also for the United States to absorb Mexico and Central America maybe even Brazil
Jan 25, 2024
Actually, what happened is quite amazing, and it may be one reason why Henry Kissinger became much less friendly to me. I used to have some influence back in the mid-1980s, at the highest levels in the United States government. In reality, considerable influence, the only thing is the criminal Jews who were jockeying for power in the Reagan administration did not accept my rejection of Israel. I refused to go along with the Zionism atrocity. Also, I really did not like Ashkenazi Jews, I found them to be repulsive and fanatics and liars. I did understand that Americans considered the Middle East – Arabs and Persians – to be frightening. This allowed the Jews to set themselves up as the “good guys” there to save the Americans – who just wanted as much as possible to get cheap oil, or affordable oil.
So what happened is that I was persuading many prominent American government officials to go along with my understanding of what was going on in the world. Fred Ikle was a friend of mine, we became quite close. We would talk often. I did two interviews with him, with the recorder on. The Jewish people, in the mind of Ikle, were to be tolerated. He knew I was making the argument that the Arabs and Muslims must have good relations with the United States government. Kissinger, who was a close friend of Ikle, must have been amazed – maybe appalled – that I was converting Ikle to my point of view. I think that this is what happened.
I will be totally honest: I think Henry Kissinger realized I was way smarter than he was, way smarter than his former boss Richard Nixon, way smarter than anyone in the United States government. He realized this when I was a young man, very likely. I thought Kissinger was OK, but to be honest, I was not too impressed with him. He was extremely hard-working and sincere, however. I was impressed by this. Fred Ikle was very smart, in my opinion, smarter than Kissinger. So Kissinger was jealous of me, and he was jealous that I was getting close to Ikle. Jews are like that, they get kind of irrational.
But I was not famous, I was not known to the American public. No one knew who I was. I never was willing to take some “job” in the United States government. I was unwilling to work for Jews, to advocate for Jews. I knew I was way smarter than any of these men, and they knew I knew. Yes, it is funny.
In fact, more often than not I told most of these government men to fuck off. I had a lot of power. Now with the internet this power became turbocharged. With technology, the Jews could not control me. I had the tools I needed. When I got the internet, it was all over. I began to seriously kick everyone's ass. 95% of the Jews in Washington are total losers, total fakes. They are quasi-competent.
And what about the Ashkenazi Jews in Israel? You can guess my answer: the vast majority of them are a joke, they are totally crazy.
What is happening now is amazing. The United States is certainly going to be destroyed, if Americans do not wake up and realize who the enemy is – it is the Ashkenazi Jew. Will they wake up? I cannot predict the future, but I will try. I think it is now a fair chance the United States will have a civil war, and that this will destroy the United States. The Arabs and Persians are going to undoubtedly destroy Israel. Americans will have to decide if they want to be destroyed along with Israel – because of the Jew-worship in the United States.
I do not really come to any serious conclusions and judgments unless I have deep conviction about something, and right now I got a bad feeling about America. Right now I do. I got a feeling America will be totally destroyed. It may be America's destiny, and that's because the Ashkenazi Jews came over in the millions from Russia, 1880-1920. Jews destroyed Russia, and now they will destroy the United States. Fred Ikle was listening carefully to me. We became very close. I doubt however he was going around talking about me. He was at CSIS.
Actually, the United States does not have much time left. The way it is, right now. American institutions. Everything is going to be destroyed. In 20 years it will be dominated by mestizos, they will be so numerous that the United States will be totally bankrupt and impoverished. America will resemble Mexico. Argentina is a good model. 100 years ago when Argentina was mostly European, it was a rich country. Now it is mostly mestizo, so it is bankrupt and impoverished. It is certainly the left-wing garbage that is a grave threat, but fundamentally it is racial. Europeans – white skin – are just way smarter. So we rule the world. That is just the way it is. Nothing you can do to change this.
Ashkenazi Jews are mostly left-wing, they are communists. They are subversives. They present a danger to Western civilization, no question. Science and technology will advance at a rapid pace, and this will bring down our Jewish-dominated institutions. So yes I really doubt the nation-state has a future. It is finished, this period of history. I will republish as soon as possible the audio recording of the 2 interviews I did with Fred Charles Ikle.
The truth is that the world is now in a new era, a much more advanced era. There will be little tolerance of stupid people, dishonest people, corrupt people. Like I said, in 20-30 years it could be that much of the world's population will be gone, perished. It has been a feeling that I've had for about 40 years, and today I cannot really dismiss it. Seems really possible.

Day Two of the trip but Day One w/ air conditioning! Thank you, Butch!, the best damn RV mechanic we've ever known. Travelled through VA, West-By-God VA, Maryland and into PA. Stopped for night at an RV park in Jonestown, (near Hershey). Decided to have one EOV for each state we passed through. Working on that right now. Hope there's enough wine. Rig runs beautifully but goes through diesel fuel like a drunken sailor. Getting less than 8 mpg now, but I guess when you factor in ...
... I am glad we decided to order room service because I read on Trip Advisor a review which mentioned that the wait at the restaurants for breakfast was 90 minutes!
It was raining and the forecast was for the rain to end around 1:00, so we switched our day around and headed over to the Hershey Story first. This is an interactive museum that tells story of Milton Hershey, who really epitomizes the saying, "If at first you ...
This blog will be a bit different from my usual blogs. It is only a weekend, but I felt I should do it because it may help others when planning a trip to Hershey.
We started a tradition on our first anniversary that we have tried to maintain over the years. On our anniversary (or near) we would go to a luxury hotel, even if it was for only one night. We have hit it more than we have missed it. For our 10th, it was just dinner because ...
Driving along Route 30, Heather finally saw some blooming mountain laurel. Fighting through the underbrush, she got close enough to capture a few blossoms on her camera for Bonnie to see.
We stayed over night in Bedford, which used to be a frontier outpost. It is full of lovely upscale homes and has a vibrant downtown. On the way out of town, ...
... no coincidence, the Shriners (a Masonic fraternity) got a lot inspiration from Morocco and Moorish architecture, even adopting the fez red hat.
It still seems quite strange to me. What relation is there between a secretive white man's power club and Morocco? I don't get it. All the same, I'm doing a videoclip here, strumming in front of the mosque that's not a mosque (so no one can be offended)
I continue on down 3rd street through more nice neighborhoods. But then ...

Bristol's mayor says he is concerned about coronavirus spreading at this weekend's Tokyo World and is urging those going to take a test.
Marvin Rees said just days before the event kicks off that the music festival is a cause for "concern", and added, "anything that creates the conditions for Covid to spread amongst the population is a concern."
Speaking at his bi-monthly press conference on Wednesday 15 September, the Labour politician said his advice for those going is to "act in-line with the Covid-safe behaviours as much as possible."
The sold-out festival begins on Saturday 18 September in the city's Eastville park and takes place across the weekend.
Those going must show either a negative lateral flow test, be fully vaccinated against coronavirus, or be able to prove they recently tested positive for the virus and have since recovered - giving them natural immunity.
Speaking about the event, Mr Rees said: "It is [concerning], but what we need to do is continually reach out to people, support event organisers themselves to create Covid-secure environments as well, so they're managing the people as best as possible.
"[That's] so it's not just down to individual behaviour and individual decision, it's down to the kind of spaces we create for people as well.
"So, all that will be in play this weekend and they [the festival organisers] will have been on the receiving end of lots of support and advice from our public health team," he added.
But breaking into a smile, Mr Rees also joked that "I'll let you into a secret: being a mayor is a constant state of concern - because everything is a challenge."
'Rapid test before, rapid test after'
Giving advice on how those going should stay safe, the mayor said: "Our director of public health said very early doors one of the best things we can do is make sure people understand the principles of transmission.
"It's person to person, it's personal physical contact - it's through droplets and aerosols. So, if you can keep your distance as much as possible, that will minimise the amount of risk you're exposing yourself to.
"If you can make sure you are being tested as well, so that you are knowing your own status, make sure you're rapid testing before, rapid testing afterwards.
"And if you have any symptoms, then do the right things by your friends and people who you don't know, but will be there and don't attend.

Fake Rod, the gun totin' fraud,
So now Reason Magazine is part of the "right wing conspiracy"?? Really?
Also then, the NY Times and BuzzFeed are both engaging in the same conspiracy theory according to you.
Then you're saying that the FBI did NOT do what the article claims it did and what they SAID they did.
I guess the FBI is engaging in its own Conspiracy theory AGAINST their own agency? LOL
Your really are a mentally deranged psychotic aren't you? Is there a vaccine you can get against that?

Two new reality shows will star North Shore families in the coming months. Though local residents are no strangers to non-scripted television—Lake Forest’s Marcus Lemonis starred in the financial advice show “The Profit” on CNBC, the latest winner of “The Bachelor,” Whitney Bischoff, is a nurse from Highland Park, which is the same town that is home to “MasterChef Junior” competitor Levi Eirinberg, even Billy Corgan tried to film an AMC series on his wrestling league. But for these two new shows, the clear focus is family matters; namely how two families thrive in their unique situations.
The first follows the journey of the Lehwald family in a show called “Becoming Us” set to air on ABC Family this summer. The show is centered on 17-year-old Ben Lehwald, an Evanston Township High School junior, and his dad Charlie who is currently transitioning into a woman named Carly. The show is executive produced by Ryan Seacrest who shares a similar credit on the “Keeping Up With the Kardashians” series whose star Bruce Jenner also recently revealed he is transgender.
At a time when there is growing discussion of the LGBTQ community and more public advocacy, such as the work done by “Orange Is The New Black Star” Laverne Cox, Lehwald told the Chicago Tribune he hopes to help others in similar situations. So far coverage of the show has been widespread and picked up on outlets like People, MTV, Yahoo and Hollywood Reporter.
The Tribune reports that the show will feature pivotal moments such as Carly’s surgery, her daughter’s wedding and Ben’s growing relationship with girlfriend Danielle whose father is also going through the same transition process. The Lehwald family reportedly pitched the show to the network after joking about being on TV during a routine family dinner. It was filmed last year when Ben Lehwald had just finished a rough freshman year of high school magnified by the shock of his dad’s decision and his parent’s divorce.
“It’s confusing for me because I want to say, ‘Dad,’ but I don’t want to say, ‘Dad,’ because I want to respect her and not hurt her feelings. We just came to the conclusion to call her Carly,” the teenager said, further noting, “I think we should really bring light to it and let people be who they want to be.”
The other series zooms in on the life of Deerfield’s Wendy and Mike Gabel and their six daughters (7 months to 13 years old) to see how a family deals with life with a new baby. The Gabels are one of five families who were voted to appear on “Welcome To The Family Video Series,” a YouTube reality show sponsored by The First Years company set to air in June.
The format for this online series is a bit unique, according to the Chicago Tribune. The Gabels received an iPad from producers and are asked to send in their own recorded five-minute video each week for 14 weeks. The YouTube crew then does the editing. It’s up to the family what they want to show, but Wendy Gabel says they plan to divulge all, the good (helping baby sister eat cheerios), the bad (spilled glue all over the kitchen floor) and the embarrassing (you’ll just have to watch).
“It’s a chance to help anyone else for what may be taxing or helpful in their situations,” she told the paper, noting there’s no shortage of drama in the three-bedroom house that has six sisters sharing two rooms. While dad goes off to work at Barilla in Bannockburn, the homemaker mom is left to fend with her troop, and she’s found unique ways to do so with teamwork games and the use of the video camera to make it a fun experience.
“Becoming Us” will premiere June 8 at 8 p.m. CST on ABC Family. “Welcome To the Family Video Series” did not release an air date yet but check YouTube.com for updates.


HAMMOND — The city's Redevelopment Commission has approved an agreement with a contractor to oversee construction of a multimillion-dollar sports complex at the site of the old Woodmar Mall.
The agreement calls for Madison Construction Co., of Orland Park, Illinois, to be paid a fee of about $858,000 for the Hammond Sportsplex. The sports complex will have a maximum contract budget of $17,946,273, subject to change orders that could raise or lower the final price.
The facility is expected to break ground in June and take about a year to complete.
The city last year received approval of an $8.7 million loan guarantee from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development for the Hammond Sportsplex. The city initially planned to pay that money back through future allocations of Community Development Block Grant money the city was expected to receive between now and 2035.
Officials have talked about using additional block grant money along with tax increment financing money to pay for the remainder of the project. While the block grant program is slated for elimination in President Donald Trump's proposed budget, it is a popular program with numerous communities and many officials think it will be retained in the final federal budget.
Phil Taillon, executive director of Hammond's Planning and Development Department, said tax increment financing money raised in the Hammond Central Allocation Area can be used as an alternate funding source if the block grant money is no longer available.
The facility's features would include two indoor soccer fields, six basketball courts, 12 volleyball courts, six indoor batting cages, and an upper level track. The track of more than a quarter-mile could be used for walking and running as well as for observation of sporting events taking place on the lower level. Two additional basketball courts could be placed on top of the indoor soccer fields when needed, according to Taillon.
There will also be a community room that can be used to host different city events.


Accountable farm hand with 15 years of experience operating tractors and heavy equipment machinery to perform various farm tasks.

According to reports from the Wall Street Journal, Call of Duty WWII has sold a massive 4.4 million copies in the US alone.
This is ahead of industry analysis that estimates the game will top 14-16 million units worldwide in its lifetime.
This is good news for fans keen on playing more events like Winter Siege - a bigger player base means Sledgehammer Games and Activision will support the game longer, and provide more effort to get fans back in the game if they lapse.
Timed events have proven to be remarkably popular ways of doing this.
So if you're looking forward to the launch of Winter Siege tonight, be sure to learn what you can about the event - because there are likely to be far more of them in the future.
Call of Duty WW2's first seasonal event, Winter Siege, seasonal is about to be released on PS4, Xbox One and PC later today!
Sledgehammer Games new event has a December 8 release date, and runs until January 2.
Although a start time for the event has not been mentioned, it's believed that it will begin at the usual times for Call of Duty launches.
That means we can expect it to start at 10am PST, which for everyone in the UK means 6pm GMT.
For those curiouse, Winter Siege introduces an array of activities and content for free to all Call of Duty: WW2 players.
There's a new, frost-covered Winter Carentan multiplayer map, the return of the Gun Game party mode, Double XP Playlists, a winterised Headquarters with new visiting Quartermaster as well as new Winter Siege Supply Drops delivering new, limited edition winter gear and content to players.
“The Winter Siege is all about celebrating with the Call of Duty® community,” said Aaron Halon, Senior Product Developer, Multiplayer, Sledgehammer Games.
“There’s a ton of content for everyone to play during this time from a reimagined Winter Carentan multiplayer map that’s now packed with snow to Gun Game to Supply Drops full of winter-themed gear and content all available throughout the Winter Siege.”
That being said, the only downside is that Gun Game won't be available until the second week of the event.
You can check out the Call of Duty WW2 Winter Siege screenshots in the gallery below...
Here's a more thorough rundown from Activision on the changes you should see with the introduction of the Call of Duty: WW2 Winter Siege event.
"The Call of Duty: WW2 Winter Siege event brings the seasonal change to Multiplayer like never before.
"During the Winter Siege event, all players will have access to Winter Carentan, a snow-covered winter themed version of the fan-favourite Carentan map, previously only available as reimagined Carentan to Season Pass owners.
"The Winter Siege event also marks the limited-time return of Gun Game. This beloved mode makes its Call of Duty: WWII debut during the second week of the event as part of a non-stop schedule of special 2XP playlists, delivering a perfect way for players to take a variety of weapons out for a spin and keep their opponents guessing.
"The Winter Siege event also winterises Headquarters, with the beach encampment taking on a seasonally appropriate appearance for the span of the event, and welcoming an all-new Quartermaster, Captain Butcher.
"Captain Butcher visits Headquarters bearing Winter Siege Division uniforms, cosmetic items and weapon variants. Players can earn a variant of each new weapon for free via Special Orders from Major Howard (Orders will be rotated daily to allow players to unlock a variant of each new weapon for free).
"Other rarity variants of these weapons are available through Collection Bounties or in Winter Siege Supply Drops.
"Winter Siege Supply Drops can be earned for free simply by playing Call of Duty: WWII during the event.
"Players will also receive a free Winter Siege Supply Drop for logging in to play each week of the Winter Siege event. Players can also purchase Winter Siege Supply Drops using Call of Duty Points in-game currency.
The Winter Siege event kicks off just days after the launch of Call of Duty: WW2 Ranked Play Season 1.
“In Ranked Play, players will be matched up with opponents of similar skill and compete in 4v4 matches, also known as 8s, in game modes like Search & Destroy, Capture the Flag, and Hardpoint with eSports settings enabled.
“Winning a match earns points towards being promoted into the next tier. Losing a match, or forfeiting by leaving the game, will result in a penalty by loss of points.
“You’ll have until the end of Season 1 to play matches and be promoted through tiers before the placement season ends, setting up your first skill based tier placement going into Season 2.”
Speaking of Esports, the first Call of Duty World League event in Dallas gets underway today, hosted by MLG (Major League Gaming).
The $200,000 CoD World League event takes place between December 8th and 10th at the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center in Dallas, Texas.
There will be around 200 teams competing at this season-opening event, but 16 of the biggest teams around the world have already been decided in the run up to the event.
For anyone new to Call of Duty Esports, here's a quick round-up and explanation of the gametypes and maps you'll see this weekend, courtesy of the Esports experts at dotesports.com
"There are three different gametypes in the CWL for WWII. The first in every series is Hardpoint, a gametype where teams earn points by occupying a designated area on the map when the other team is not. Each area lasts for one minute before switching. Teams can win by reaching 250 points first or reaching the 10-minute time limit with more points.
"The maps played for Hardpoint are Ardennes Forest, Gibraltar, London Docks, and Sainte Marie du Mont.
"The next and most popular game mode is Search and Destroy, a gametype very similar to Counter-Strike. Each player gets one life in each round while one team tries to plant a bomb at one of the two bomb sites. Offensive teams can win the round by killing all of the opposing players or having a planted bomb detonate.
"Defensive teams can win the round if they kill the entire opposing team, but they also can win if they defuse a planted bomb. The gametype is played in a best-of-11 series in competitive, so the first team to win six rounds is the victor.
Call of Duty: WWII (PS4)
Call of Duty: WWII (PS4)
"Four maps are played for Search and Destroy: Ardennes Forest, London Docks, Sainte Marie du Mont, and USS Texas.
"The final game mode is Capture The Flag, a classic first-person-shooter gametype. Teams can gain points by grabbing their opponent's flag and returning it to their own base across the map. Ardennes Forest, Flak Tower, and London Docks are the three maps played for CTF."
Call of Duty World League in Dallas will begin at 3pm ET (8pm GMT) on Friday, Dec. 8.
Saturday's action will also start at 8pm GMT while Sunday's action kicks off at 11am ET (4pm GMT).

text: Sabotaging Rune II in order to save "The Elder Scrolls" reads like delusions of grandeur; a quick Google of this game shows me it was never in contention. Unlike Titanfall 2, which was publically and deliberately setup to fail by its publisher, I can't really see much in the way of deliberate action indicating Bethesda wanted this game to fail. It's not like it was launching two weeks before or after Skyrim; the two games are years removed. Bethesda's actions with Human Head Studio are a different topic. As always, I'll wait for the courts to decide who's guilty of what.

Vogue Italia has dedicated its latest magazine to children, “the most overlooked and least obvious victims of the pandemic”.
For the first time in its history, the magazine commissioned children to design eight special editions covers.
The magazine’s latest issue asked 100 children aged between two and ten to redesign this season’s trendiest fashion looks.
Editor Emanuel Farneti said of the decision to use children’s drawings for Vogue Italia‘s front covers: “There’s a simple and fundamental reason why this issue of Vogue Italia is dedicated to children, to their new world.
“It’s because we think they are the most overlooked and least obvious victims of the pandemic that is affecting us all.”
The eight cover artists include Thomas W, four years old, New York; Nori T, five years old, Amsterdam; Tadzio DM, six years old, Paris; Violetta T, five years old, Milan; Camilla C, two years old, Dakar; Rachele T, five years old, Bologna; Pietro R, six years old, Milan, and Giorgio P, ten years old, Parma.
The theme of children also runs throughout the issues, including an exchange of letters between famed designer Giorgio Armani and eight-year-old Luca, who proposes to Armani a collection of outfits that come with special superpowers.

This plant produces a small, red bean smaller than the pinto or kidney bean that holds its shape and firmness when cooked. This small, red bean (not to confuse with Kidney Beans) is high in protein and fiber.
SOWING AND GROWING: Sow the seeds at a depth of one and a half to two inches in soil with a PH level of six to seven. There should be four to six inches between plants, with a space of at least two feet between rows. It is okay to let the beans dry out while growing, and watering should be done sparingly. After about ninety days, the beans should be firm and ready to be picked.
HARVESTING: Beans should be harvested only when the beans and pods are dry, but before pods have split open. Pods can be snapped off branches at the base and beans can be shelled out of the pod for storage. Freeze your bean harvest for several hours to kill any insects. Rich source of minerals and vitamins with high fiber and low-calorie benefits.

The researchers who conducted this study think that having affairs helps to compensate for the emotional distress of losing one’s status as “the one putting food on the table”. According to this research, the longevity and stability of a relationship would be guaranteed by the woman earning 25% less than her husband. The narrower the gap, the more likely the man is to seek affairs.
Contrarily, however, men who earn a lot more than their spouse have an above-average chance of having a mistress, as they simply can afford it. This is not the case for women, as those who are financially dependent on their husbands are less likely to be tempted by infidelity than those who are on an equal footing. Completely dependent women seem to be 75% less likely to be tempted at all.
The researchers behind this study have some ideas on what are the reasons for which women married to “rich” men are held back from this temptation. It is possible, firstly, that they are happy with their marital role and do not see said dependence as a slight on their status. It is also perhaps more difficult for them to meet new people when in such an environment. Finally, some may be tempted but fearful of the possible repercussions.

Aircraft cabin air quality is the measure of the safety and breathability of the air inside an aircraft. Maintaining good air quality ensures the health and comfort of passengers and crew on board. Aircraft cabin air is typically a mix of fresh outside air and recirculated air from within the cabin. The recirculated air is filtered to remove dust, pollen, bacteria and other contaminants. The temperature and humidity are also regulated to provide a comfortable environment for passengers.
Aircraft cabin air quality has become a hot topic in recent years due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which has raised many questions about the safety of air travel, particularly in regards to HVAC systems on commercial airplanes.
Why Does Air Need to Be Controlled Inside an Aircraft Cabin?
As modern-day airplanes reach their cruising altitude (between 30,000 and 40,000 feet), the amount of oxygen in the outside air rapidly decreases. Flying at such high altitudes without mechanical regulation of the air inside the cabin would cause a gradual onset of lightheadedness and fainting.
At high altitudes the air pressure is lower than at sea level. This means there is less oxygen in the air than the human brain requires to function properly. The condition in which parts of the body are deprived of air is known as hypoxia, and it can lead to confusion, dizziness and difficulty concentrating. Sufferers will ultimately lose consciousness and experience fatal injuries.
To overcome this issue, aircraft cabins are pressurized, meaning the air pressure in the cabin is higher than the outside air pressure, allowing passengers and crew to breathe comfortably at high altitudes.
How Is Pressurized Aircraft Cabin Air Cleaned?
High-Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) Filters
High-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters remove airborne particles such as dust, pollen and bacteria from the air. The removal of these pollutants reduces the risk of passengers and crew members becoming ill due to airborne contaminants.
Activated Carbon Filters
Activated carbon filters are used in aircraft cabins to remove odors, smoke and other airborne contaminants from the air. They also help to reduce the amount of dust and other particles that can cause allergies or respiratory problems. The filters also help reduce the amount of noise in the cabin, making it more comfortable for passengers.
Ultraviolet Germicidal Irradiation (UVGI)
Ultraviolet germicidal irradiation (UVGI) reduces the spread of airborne pathogens and other contaminants. UVGI systems emit ultraviolet light, although other systems utilize visible light, which is absorbed by the DNA of microorganisms, damaging their genetic material and preventing them from reproducing. This helps to reduce the risk of passengers and crew members becoming ill due to airborne pathogens.
There are multiple ways to implement UVGI. In home HVAC systems, lights can be placed within ductwork. This is more difficult in aircraft with limited space and strict regulations, but some companies have developed specialized UV light systems that can be used on cabin surfaces when passengers have disembarked.
Ionizers are used in aircraft cabins to reduce the volume of airborne particles. They work by releasing negative ions into the air which attach to the pollutant particles and make them heavier. The heavier particles then fall out of the air or get caught by special filters within ductwork. This helps to reduce allergens and other contaminants in the air, making it easier for passengers and crew to breathe.
Tips on How to Stay Healthy When Flying
Although commercial and private airlines go to great lengths to supply their passengers and crew members with clean air, individual passengers can still take additional steps to protect themselves from cabin air pollutants:
- Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds.
- Use hand sanitizer when soap and water are not available.
- Avoid touching your face, eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands.
- Wear a face mask when traveling on an aircraft to help protect yourself from airborne germs and viruses
- Bring your own snacks and drinks to avoid contact with shared food items on the plane.
- Disinfect frequently touched surfaces such as armrests, tray tables, seatbelts, etc., with disinfectant wipes before use.
- Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of fluids throughout the flight. Good hydration may help keep your immune system strong and healthy.
- If you can, consider flying private or charter instead of on commercial airlines to limit your exposure to other passengers in the cabin and when waiting in long lines at security checkpoints or baggage claim areas. Alternatively, you can try to book flights during airport downtimes (like not on busy travel days or prime traveling times).

Johnny Depp will probably wave wands as he became part of the cast of "Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them."
He will be part of the sequel which will start shooting next year. The movie's lead character is Newt Scamander, played by Eddie Redmayne, who is the author of the book titled "Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them" that Hogwart students study.
It is directed by David Yates and it is a prequel spin-off of the Harry Potter Series. It is set in the journey of Scamander as he travels in New York City in 1926.
JK Rowling announced in October that there will be five Fantastic Beasts films instead of three. This shock even the cast of the movie, Vulture reported.
Redmayne explained that Rowling has a passion for storytelling. He believes that there's a bigger story that explores the boundaries of good and evil.
He admitted that this can't be seen by watching trailer and clips of the film. He also said that this movie has an epic quality to it even if it's a spin-off movie.
Deadline reported that Depp will have a cameo in the first installment of the movie that opens in November 18. The movie is set 70 years before Harry Potter can even read books in school.
Before he films the Harry Potter spin-off sequel, he will be part of different movies. He will take part on Murder On The Orient Express directed by Kenneth Branagh and The Invisible Man.
BBC News reported that it is still unknown what Depp's role would be. However, it is certain that it will revolve around the Harry Potter universe.
As of to date, Johnny Depp can be seen playing Captain Jack Sparrow in the Pirates of the Caribbean Series. "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales" will be released in 2017. His fans are looking forward on seeing him in the Harry Potter sequel.

King Felipe and Queen Letizia returned to Santiago once again this year for the annual National Offering to Apostle. And as expected they were joined by their daughters, Princess Leonor and Infanta Sofia.
The Offering to the Apostle is a ceremony that dates back to 1643 during the reign of Felipe IV and since then the Monarch has been attending the annual event as a part of the Summer royal calendar.
The Royal family was welcomed in the town with a Military ceremony after which King Felipe reviewed the troops. Both Letizia and Leonor chose bright summer shades while Sofia chose to pick an ensemble that was a lovely contrast to her father’s dapper look.
A video of the day.
Heading towards the cathedral, The Royals stopped at the center of the Plaza del Obradoiro where they met with the local authorities before the religious ceremony.
The offering was held at the Cathedral of Santiago of Compostela where they were received by the Archbishop of Santiago Cathedral. The Cathedral of Santiago is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and an important place of pilgrimage for Roman Catholics.
Apostle Santiago is the Patron Saint of Spain. The cathedral is also home to the shrine of St. James the Great.
The Royal family joined the locals and authorities for the National offering.
After the ceremony, King Felipe addressed the gathering and dedicated his remarks to the various wildfires causing disasters in the country.
Leonor and Sofia also joined King Felipe and Queen Letizia last year for the ceremony.
After the ceremony, Felipe joined by Letizia, Leonor and Sofia watched a fly pass from the balcony of the cathedral. Then they met with the expedition members of the Quetzal Route in the courtyard of the cathedral.
The last stop of the day was Pazo de Raxoi, the headquarters of the Santiago de Compostela City Council where Felipe signed the City golden book.
Letizia was wearing a custom dress from the Spanish label Vogana. Thanks to letiziaroyalfashionlook for the id. The style is officially called Mer featuring an upper part made up of two crossed pieces with a crew neckline and raglan sleeves.
The Queen paired the dress with her Carolina Herrera sling-back pumps
and Carolina Herrera Doma Insignia Medium Satchel Bag.
A pair of diamond and citrine earrings
with Letizia’s Karen Hallam ring finished the look.
Following her mother’s footsteps and championing Spanish fashion, Leonor was wearing a Cayro Yasmin dress.
She once again brought her Carolina Herrera kitten heel slingbacks back.
The Princess of Asturias accessorized her outfit with the insignia of the Order of the Golden Fleece, a pair of gold hoops, and a ring on her left index finger.
Infanta Sofia chose a mint shade, Bruna Genevieve Dress. Thanks to letizia_de_princesa_a_reina for the id.
Sofia paired the outfit with Polín et Moi Naya Ballet Flats.
Later this week, King Felipe and Queen Letizia with Leonor and Sofia will move to Palma where they will continue with the summer agenda for the first half of august.
In the second half, The Royal family will retreat for a private summer break before returning to royal duties in September while Leonor will head back to Wales for the second year of IB and Sofia will continue her school.

More domain names and gambling operations were seized on Monday May 24th 2011, which we aptly call Gray Monday. This time around the industry leaders were not the only real sites seized but smaller sites also. Even more important is a number of different sectors in the industry were seized. There were domains seized in online poker, casinos, sports books and even bingo. This could send more of a note through the industry than Black Friday.
The web poker industry was hit hard and drastically once the three biggest players in the industry had their domain names seized. This sent a shockwave through the industry and countless poker players were left wondering what are the results next. What did happen next was that the three biggest poker rooms soon left the US market and their players were left in limbo. They now had to discover a new spot to play and their funds were in jeopardy. Although the three poker sites resolved a handle the Department of Justice to return the players money, no-one we have talked to has received any money from their website during the time this informative article was written.
After Black Friday, eventually things started to settle down and players found a new poker home and continued to play online. Many thought the Department of Justice had made their point and were going to let things get back to normal as much as could be. lagalaxy88 But with the action on Gray Monday the hammer came down on the industry as a whole. The shock now is in the form of sectors of the online gambling industry. Homeland Security made the seizures now and the industry is in disarray. No body is apparently safe whether large or small players in the industry. It is a matter of time to see the reactions to these seizures. Unfortunately, now we may see online gambling sites is all sectors start leaving the US market. We have seen some websites on the internet change their domain names to an international extension consequently of these seizures. They appear to be positioning themselves to be immune from the US government actions with these domains away from US.
The impression out there’s that no-one knows what’ll happen next and once more the online players might be sent scrambling again. It a wrist watch and see attitude nowadays, however the impact might be far more reaching than Black Friday. Now it doesn’t matter how big or small you are or what sector of online gambling you’re in, everybody can be touched by the government it seems.
The results to date are that US poker players have not had to go on to different sites at the time of yet, but new sign ups may need to go to a new website address to sign up. Same is true with US casino players, there’s been no effect yet from Gray Monday besides having a new domain name to sign up.

Washington (AFP) – A woman who is among some 20 who have accused US President Donald Trump of sexual harassment won a Democratic primary vote for a seat in the Ohio state legislature on Tuesday night, news reports said.
If she wins the election in November, Rachel Crooks, 35, who ran unopposed, will become the first Trump accuser to hold elected office.
Her allegation against Trump dates back to 2006, when she was a 22-year-old receptionist at Bayrock Group, a real estate development firm located in Trump Tower in New York.
Crooks, who first made the allegations public before the 2016 elections, said she introduced herself to Trump one day when she saw him standing near the elevators.
She said Trump then kissed her on one cheek, then the other, and talked to her between kisses.
He also asked her where she was from, she said, or if she wanted to be a model.
He would not let go of her hand and then began kissing her on the lips, she said, according to the Washington Post.
Trump has denied her claims.

If we could date Copenhagen we would. Every time we visit this Scandinavian city we’re seduced by it. It’s a place that manages to be trendy and charming all at once. It’s cool, always happy and exudes artistic intensity. We love the city’s experimental nature and how it’s edgy enough to push us out of our comfort box, but always makes us feel safe.
Like us, Copenhagen loves food, craft beer and cosy nights in. With its clean lines and fetching designs, it’s not bad on the eye either. We’re not the only ones who think so, according to Trend reports it’s one of the most enticing destinations in the world.
If you’ve never fallen in love with a city, then you’ve never been to Copenhagen. It’s time to put yourself out there and pay it a visit. Oh, and if you want a place in it’s heart, here’s the ideal hotel to stay at.
Right in it’s heart, Hotel Kong Arthur is set in the ideal location to get under the skin of the city. Tucked at the back of a cobblestoned alley overlooking the city’s lovely lakes, Nørreport station is a short seven minute stroll away. Around the hotel there is plenty to do and see. It’s right next to the cosy neighborhood of Nansensgade where you’ll find little bohemian cafés, trendy designer shops and lots of wine bars – it’s so hard not to go into every place you see. Opposite the hotel, on the other side of Queen Louise’s Bridge you find Nørrebro which is one of Copenhagen’s coolest quarters.
Decor & Atmosphere
This family-run hotel was originally a boarding school for carpentry apprentices in the 1800s, however much has changed since then. Kong Arthur is now a luxury boutique hotel exuding Nordic cool.
When you enter the lobby, the first thing you notice is the crackling fire, the comfy looking sofas and the shining suit of armour standing in the corner (a nod to the hotel’s namesake.) It’s a space which instantly invites you to relax and put your feet up.
Staff are friendly and eager to please, but not in an annoying way. The hotel itself is grand and spacious, yet manages to be cosy and personal at the same time. There’s an ambiance of comfort, open conviviality and unpretentious elegance here which we love.
If we had a bit of extra cash spare to decorate, we’d copy the decor of the boudoirs at Kong Arthur. Each of the hotel’s 155 rooms is unique, with hardwood floors and contemporary art. Like the rest of the hotel they have an elegant understated decor about them and a ‘homey’ feel.
Copenhagen is of the world’s most eco-friendly cities. It’s a place that ‘sees further than the end of it’s nose’ and Kong Arthur stays true to its ethos. Impressively, the hotel is CO2-neutral on energy consumption and part of the world’s first CO2-neutral hotel chain.
Food and Drink
Inspired by New Nordic cuisine, the breakfast here is all about local organic ingredients and sustainability. Served in a light atrium overlooking the courtyard, it’s exactly how you’d imagine a Scandinavian breakfast to be; wholesome and fresh.
There’s a varied selection of breads made with organic flour from Bornholm and Nordic grains. Cold cuts and cheeses are provided by Knuthenlund, a highly acclaimed family run organic farm in Lolland, and jam is made from seasonal produce like sea buckthorn, rose hip and mirabelle. You can even cook up your own waffles if you fancy something a little more hearty.
We seriously suggest making time for this spread in the morning, but if you really can’t, you can get a ‘grab and go’ breakfast for 75 DKK. The hotel has three restaurants – Italian, Spanish and Japanese, however during our stay we were on a mission to sample as much Nordic fare as we could so can’t comment on the restaurants – but given the standard of everything at the hotel, we’re sure the food is good.
The hotel wholeheartedly embraces the Danish concept of hygge with their aptly named ‘Cozy Hour’. Every afternoon between 5 and 6pm, guests are invited to the lobby where they can have a free drink and lounge around in front of the fire.
The hotel’s spa, Ni’mat (which means luxury Indonesian) was inspired by the owners travels to the East. With authentic Asian decor, it could possibly be one of the most beautiful spas we’ve ever been to. Even if you don’t book a treatment, a visit to the hot tub is a must as it feels like your relaxing under hundreds of twinkling stars – you’ll see what we mean when you go.
If you find yourself having one-too-many Danish hotdogs, you can burn them off at the hotel’s small fitness room. Copenhagen is the city of bikes, so of course you can rent one from the hotel to explore further.
To stay right in the heart of Copenhagen in an elegant boutique hotel that you won’t want to leave.

We investigate the behavior of three-dimensional (3D) exchange-correlation energy functional approximations of density-functional theory in anisotropic systems with two-dimensional (2D) character. Using two simple models, the quasi-2D electron gas and two-electron quantum dot, we show a fundamental limitation of the local density approximation (LDA) and its semilocal extensions, generalized gradient approximation (GGA) and meta-GGA (MGGA), the most widely used forms of which are worse than the LDA in the strong 2D limit. The origin of these shortcomings is in the inability of the local (LDA) and semilocal (GGA/MGGA) approximations to describe systems with 2D character in which the nature of the exchange-correlation hole is very nonlocal. Nonlocal functionals provide an alternative approach, and explicitly the average density approximation is shown to be remarkably accurate for the quasi-2D electron gas system. Our study is not only relevant for understanding of the functionals but also practical applications to semiconductor quantum structures and materials such as graphite and metal surfaces. We also comment on the implication of our findings to the practical device simulations based on the (semi)local density-functional method.

Sixteen Mexican-American eighth-graders from DeKalb’s Clinton Rosette Middle School will spend Wednesday, May 4, at NIU to get a glimpse of their future college lives.
“The students, many whose parents have not attended college, will learn how a college education can set them on a path that changes their lives and the world they inhabit,” said Mayra C. Daniel, associate professor in the NIU Department of Literacy Education.
The students will be accompanied by their teacher, Billy Hueramo, who is an alum of the Department of Literacy Education; and their family liaison, Valerie Du Bois, also an NIU graduate.
During their five-hour visit, they will meet Margee Myles, director of Advising and Student Services in the College of Education; visit NIU’s Latino Resource Center; and talk to Latino students currently enrolled at NIU about their experiences as college students.
When the group visits the Department of Literacy Education, they will meet Norman Stahl, the department’s chair. The students will also eat lunch in one of the university’s residence halls.
“If they do attend college, the majority of them will be first-generation college students in their families,” Daniel said. “We want to plant the seed of the certainty of higher education in their lives.”
Although Clinton Rosette sits in the shadow of a prestigious state university, inviting students onto campus will allow them to see the diversity of its students’ cultures and the array of academic and extracurricular programs at NIU, she said.
“With a college education, these middle school students can grow up to be authors, lawyers, engineers, educators, and scientists,” she said. “We want these Mexican American students to know they have access to an education and the right to be successful in the United States.”
Daniel is currently on sabbatical. She is conducting research at Clinton Rosette Middle School.
“Growing up with parents who have not attended college poses challenges to students because many are not exposed to the tradition of learning beyond high school as we know it to be in this country,” Daniel added.

Hey Monea is:
Dan Monea – vocalist, guitarist, shark fisherman, foodie
Nate Monea – vocalist, drummer, MacGyverer, skeptic
Hey Monea have always been driven by a healthy sense of wanderlust – a deep desire to see the world, try new things, and to challenge the limits of what is possible. This band of tender-hearted rascals, brothers, has been bonded by three albums, years of touring and recording, and a deep love of music and desire to bring people together. They’ve played festivals all over the world including Hard Rock Calling in London (Bruce Springsteen / Lady Antebellum), The Rock Boat (Sister Hazel / Barenaked Ladies), 311 Cruise, and even performed in the Pacific Islands. In addition to traditional touring, the band travels annually to Guatemala with an organization called The Music Is Love Exchange for a week of service work and performances at schools and hospitals.
Hey Monea’s pop-leaning rock music centers around emotionality and their soaring harmonies aim directly at the heart of the human spirit. Dan and Nate were raised Jehovah’s Witnesses and it was their family’s decision to leave that community that set the boys on a path toward pursuing deeper connection points. Every tour stop is an opportunity to meet people, be of service, an effort to build bonds with their audience. The band refers to their extended community as their “ghetto family”, and the family reunion takes place at every show. “We love what we do, and we love being on the road. Connecting with people from every corner of the world through music brings real joy to us. Everybody has a story, and we want to hear that. And we want to share ours,” says Dan Monea.
Prolific in their creativity, Hey Monea has been releasing new music steadily in the recent months and years. Their latest offering, “Give A Little”, is a generosity anthem aimed at carrying the holiday spirit with listeners all year ‘round. Hey Monea’s new album “Banner Year,” released on September 9th 2022, and the band’s recent singles were all recorded and produced at Hey Monea’s home Little C Studios in Canal Fulton, OH. Dan and Nate have contributed production and mixing service to artists including Meaghan Farrell, David Higgins, Golden Dimes, and TONY-nominee Constantine Maroulis.

This was…a bit odd.
Overall it was an interesting story. But it was almost more interesting as a slice of life – the whole supernatural element seemed like it was shoehorned in. I got caught up in the story of these people’s lives, but the chapters seemed a bit disconnected.
Listening to the Elastica album Elastica was a good choice – but again, for following these people’s lives.
Of course, it didn’t help that it put me off at the beginning by using “gay” as a pejorative. And using a bus of kids with disabilities for laughs. I didn’t know if this was just a sign of the times, or if it had a point.
Recommended, maybe, if you like weird, and maybe if you like following people’s lives.

Federal prosecutors will begin ignoring mandatory minimum sentences established by Congress for non-violent drug crimes, Attorney General Eric Holder is expected to announce Monday during an American Bar Association meeting in San Francisco.
Instead of inflexible penalties for non-violent drug offenders, the defendants "will be charged with offenses for which the accompanying sentences are better suited," Holder will reportedly say, according to a copy of the speech circulated by the Justice Department.
The policy change is a fulfillment of a campaign promise made by then-candidate Barack Obama in 2008. At the time he promised, we "[w]ill immediately review [mandatory minimum] sentences to see where we can be smarter on crime and reduce the ineffective warehousing of nonviolent drug offenders," according to Politfact.
In 2010 the Fair Sentencing Act, signed into law by Obama, did lower the mandatory minimum penalties for crack cocaine. But the warehousing continued. According to Holder's address, the federal prison population has increased almost 800 percent since 1980.
The bar association has lobbied for reform to mandatory minimum penalties in the past.
"Mandatory minimum sentences have resulted in excessively severe sentences," wrote then-ABA President Karn Mathis in a 2007 letter to members of Congress. "This is a one-way ratchet upward."
Some advocates are still surprised by the timing.
"It's hard to say why now," Marc Mauer, executive director of the Sentencing Project, told U.S. News.
"I think it's a real breakthrough," said Mauer, who has worked on sentencing policy for 30 years. The political climate has shifted so dramatically, he said, that broad push-back may not happen.
Mauer expects most prosecutors to abide by Holder's new policy, but said "different prosecutors may interpret the guidance in different ways."
Families Against Mandatory Minimums, a group that documents legal horror stories and advocates for policy change, hailed the change as a long-awaited pivot.
In his speech, the attorney general will say "while the aggressive enforcement of federal criminal statutes remains necessary, we cannot simply prosecute or incarcerate our way to becoming a safer nation." Mandatory minimums, he will say, "breed disrespect for the system."
Samuel Buell, a law professor at Duke University, noted that the change reflects the common practice of offering plea deals with lesser penalties.
"This is a welcome move to bring not only flexibility but, ironically, more consistency to federal drug sentences," Buell said. "The truth is that prosecutors in several big city U.S. Attorneys' offices who well understand the difference between serious drug cases and small ones have for years been using this legal tactic for avoiding mandatory minimums in their plea agreements, more or less under the radar."
Marijuana Majority Chairman Tom Angell, formerly associated with the group Law Enforcement Against Prohibition, issued cautious praise for the policy change.
"These proposals will allow some people charged with drug offenses to have opportunities to put their lives back together sooner and will save taxpayers some money that is now being wasted putting human beings in cages for no good reason," Angell said in a statement. "The real value of these proposals will be in the implementation, which drug policy reform advocates have good reason to be wary about. For example, despite a 2009 Justice Department memo urging U.S. attorneys not to go after marijuana businesses that are legal under state law, more state-legal medical marijuana providers were shuttered by federal actions during the first term of the Obama administration than were closed during George W. Bush's two terms."
