2. House Training
Most new puppy owners put housebreaking high on their list of priorities. After all, it’s frustrating when your dog pees in the house. Get your puppy off to a good start by putting him on a schedule. If he is eating at regular times and being taken outside frequently, you will be well on your way to house training the new puppy.
Keep in mind that punishment, such as scolding or rubbing a pup’s nose in his mess, does not usually have the desired effect. A better method of housebreaking a puppy is to reward him with praise, treats, and playtime when he relieves himself in the right spot. A crate can also be a helpful housebreaking tool.
3. Crate Training
A crate is used to confine a puppy when you are unable to supervise him. If your puppy is given enough time to become comfortable in his crate, it may become one of his favorite spots. Crates allow you to prevent your puppy from developing bad habits, like inappropriate chewing or soiling.
Crates are also good tools for housebreaking. Most dogs will not relieve themselves in the same place that they sleep. If your dog is crated when he isn’t outside with you or under your supervision in your house, chances are he will never develop the habit of going potty indoors.
A puppy shouldn’t be kept in his crate for more than a few hours at a time. Even when you are home to supervise him, however, he shouldn’t have the run of the house right away. There are too many things in a house for a puppy to chew on, hide under, or get harmed by. Confining him to a kitchen or another small room with a door or baby gate can go a long way in preventing your puppy from developing bad habits.
Remember, a puppy who gets the opportunity to do something he finds enjoyable, such as gnawing on your furniture, is more likely to repeat the behavior. Confinement keeps him from getting these opportunities.

Man tried to smuggle two throwing knives hidden in book onto domestic flight
A passenger caught trying to smuggle two throwing knives onto a domestic flight in a hollowed-out book was controversially allowed to continue with his journey.
Security staff at Reagan-Washington airport discovered the knives, which measured over half a foot long, on Monday, in a hollowed out book about Japanese ninja warriors hidden in the man's carry-on bag.
However after confiscating the weapons, federal officials decided to allow the man board the flight to Chicago and continue with his journey.
Threat: A man tried to smuggle two throwing knives hidden in a hollowed-out book about Ninja warriors onto a domestic flight
A spokesman claimed there was no indication that he intended to harm anyone so he was not arrested.
However according to the Transport Security Administration (TSA) he could now be fined up to $1,500 for bringing a prohibited item into a security checkpoint.
The hardback book was entitled Ninja: The Shadow Warrior.

Written on the opposite page to where the knives were discovered were the words 'concealability encapsulates the ninja philosophy.'
Some fellow passengers said they believed airport security had been too lenient and that the man should not have been allowed onto the plane.
Virginia resident William Clarke told ABC News: 'They won't even let you on with fingernail files.'
Maryland resident John Morrison told the station: 'I don't know what to make of it. I'm just glad they caught him.'

It's Friday morning and I'm in Lakeland FL attending the annual EAA Sun-n-Fun convention. This was totally unexpected as just 48 hours I had no plans on being here!
We had arrived Thursday afternoon after a flight from Petersburg WV in a Cessna 172 XP. Originally the plan was to get a ride over to Sun-n-Fun for camping on the air show grounds but it was getting late and the sun was already close the the horizon. Jeff and I set up camp at Winter Haven along with 3 other tents. There were bathroom and shower facilities for campers as well as picnic tables and a fire pit. By Friday morning we decided that simply staying at Winter Haven and riding the $5 shuttle back and forth was the best plan.
First stop was in the Ultralight area. The powered parachutes had already landed after their early morning calm air flights and the heavier ultralight and LSA aircraft were in the air. I believe this is an Eagle, designed in the mid 70's.
Just Aircraft - Highlander. 110 mph cruise, 300 ft ground roll takeoff and landing with 100 hp Rotax 912S
Airplanes, CAP and Mennonite(?)
Shades are a must when watching air shows...
Rotax 912iS Fuel injected 100HP. A digital control unit manages fuel flow from start to finish resulting in a 21% decrease in fuel usage.
Space and weight limitations limited me to carrying my general use Sigma 17-70. For air shows a little more reach is desirable.
Maybe all my dog of a 150 needs is a few more propeller blades...
Transitioning from hover to forward flight.
Vought F4U Corsair
L39 and Mig 15 in formation.
On friday night when returning from dinner we were greeted by a campfire, Smores and flying talk
The winds had already picked up on Saturday as we left in the shuttle from Winter Haven for Lakeland. Turning out of the airport I caught a momentary view of the tent in the distance and noticed it didn't look quite right. Returning, we found one of fiberglass poles had snapped allowing the tent to collapse in the wind. It's good we went back to check because a line of showers passed through later in the afternoon bringing 40+ mph winds and a brief shower. Our stuff would have been soaked.
Again on Saturday the Thunderbirds flew. Loud and fast. I'm always amazed as how quickly fighter jets go from takeoff to blasting across the sky at unreal speeds.
Thank you to our shuttle driver Tracy for the lift back and forth to the show and also with the help when the tent collapsed!

SC allowed States to release life convicts; Rajiv Gandhi assassination case kept out of purview
This power will not apply to cases probed by central agencies like CBI and for those incarcerated under central laws such as Terrorist and Disruptive Activities (Prevention) Act (TADA).
The Supreme Court of India on 23 July 2015 allowed state governments to exercise its power of remission to release life convicts with a rider.
The decision was given by five-judge Constitution bench headed by Chief Justice HL Dattu which modified its 9 July 2014 order wherein it had restrained all states from exercising power of remission for releasing life convicts from jail.
However, the apex court rule some exceptions to which this decision will not apply. These are:
• Cases probed by central agencies like CBI and for those incarcerated under central laws such as Terrorist and Disruptive Activities (Prevention) Act (TADA).
• Cases wherein the convict has been awarded life term in sexual offence cases of rape and murder.
• Rajiv Gandhi assassination case in which the Centre's plea against the Tamil Nadu Government's decision to grant remission for release of the seven life convicts is under consideration.
• Cases wherein prison terms are specified to continue till life or for a specified period like 20 to 25 years.
The restoration of the states' power of remission under Sections 432, 433 of Criminal Procedure Code (CrPC) to release life convicts may be used for considering relief for those life convicts who have undergone prison term of 14 or more years.
The stay as per July 2014 decision was imposed in the wake of the controversy triggered by the Tamil Nadu Government’s decision to grant remission for release of three such convicts, whose death sentence in Rajiv Gandhi assassination case was commuted to life term by it on 18 February 2014.

Fr.: La Niña
La Niña. A condition in which a significant decrease (more than 0.5 °C from average water temperatures) occurs in sea surface temperature (cold event) in the central and eastern equatorial Pacific. La Niña has a natural 3-6 year cycle and can persist for 1-3 years. It is the counterpart to the → El Nino (warm event), and its spatial and temporal evolution in the equatorial Pacific is, to a considerable extent, the mirror image of El Niño, although La Niña events tend to be somewhat less regular in their behavior and duration.
American Sp. La Niña "the girl," to distinguish it from → El Nino.

Author: Ukrainian YEA Nazar Syvak
Technology has developed drastically in the last decade. If previously, it would take a whole team of professionals to generate or modify audio-visual materials, right now, almost anyone with internet access can use artificial intelligence (AI) to create a convincing video or photo. People mainly use this new technology for entertaining and harmless purposes like fixing a background on their private photos or editing videos for their social media channels. However, there is a growing concern about AI being used to create deceiving materials, also known as ‘deepfakes.’ Deepfakes are often used by internet trolls and criminals, but can those pose a threat to democratic procedures if used by political actors? Many European citizens share this concern, with 70% of citizens in the UK and Germany and 57% in France saying they are concerned about the threat that deepfakes and AI pose to elections. So, how have AI deepfakes been exploited already? What threat do they pose to the 2024 election season, and how does the EU address the issue?
AI deepfakes and EU politics
The first major study on deepfakes in European policy commissioned by the European Parliamentary Research Service was released in July 2021. It acknowledged the potential for misuse of AI deepfake technology and assessed “the technical, societal and regulatory aspects of deepfakes.” The report provided policy recommendations and analysed the legislative framework on AI to outline policy options to limit the risks of deepfakes while harnessing their potential.
Since then, there have been numerous major cases of deepfakes generated by AI being used to influence politics within the EU and Europe. The first instances of AI deepfake use targeted EU foreign policy and social tendencies and were employed by pro-russian actors.
For example, in March 2022, a deepfake video of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announcing Ukrainian capitulation was posted online. Later, in June 2022, a deepfake of the mayor of Kyiv was generated to trick European politicians during video conference calls, including the mayors of Berlin, Madrid, and Vienna. These were targeted both at Ukrainian and international audiences to spread uncertainty and confusion about the situation in Ukraine during the initial stage of the russian invasion and reflected the russian irregular warfare strategy. While the deepfakes did not have a significant impact on EU-Ukraine relations and EU support for Ukraine, it became evident that deepfakes were being developed enough to be used as a tool for information operations by malicious actors.
However, 2023 brought about a new challenge – the use of AI deepfakes as a tool to deceive society and influence politics and elections in European countries. The first major case occurred in August 2023 during the Polish national elections. The Civic Platform party was caught using AI-generated clips of words ‘spoken’ by Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki mixed with real videos in their campaign advertisements without having a disclaimer in the ad. After facing public criticism, the party released a statement confirming that the material was artificially generated. Later, in October 2023, the UK’s opposition Labour Party leader, Keir Starmer, was targeted in a deepfake campaign. An audio clip of him swearing at staffers went viral and gained millions of hits on social media.
The most prominent scandal of AI use occurred in Slovakia in October 2023. Two AI-generated voice recordings of the Progressive Slovakia party leader surfaced on the internet in which he discussed a plan to rig the election, partly by buying votes from the Roma minority, as well as a proposal to double the price of beer after winning the election. Before that, an opposing party used his AI audio impersonation in a video ad, but it had a declaration that the voices were fake towards the end of the clip. Progressive Slovakia eventually lost the elections, and no penalties were introduced against parties employing AI deepfakes.
AI deepfakes and the 2024 election season
2024 will bring about major elections in the EU and worldwide. Nearly 65 major elections are scheduled, including the European Parliament elections, involving more than a quarter of the global population. The ‘Year of Democracy’, as 2024 is now being referred to, is dangerously susceptible to the use of AI deepfakes for social manipulation to influence election outcomes.
Many experts suggest that “Deepfakes” could become the “fake news” of 2024. AI has become widely available, and deepfakes are easy, quick, and cheap to create. The use of deepfakes during elections could overwhelm the election infrastructure and fact-checking process of journalists. The sheer number of generated fakes could prevent the media and society from effectively detecting factual and fake information. Moreover, while photos and videos are relatively easy to fact-check, voice recordings take much time and expertise to verify. This is especially crucial in the last days leading to elections, as happened in Slovakia. The AI-generated fakes were posted during a 48-hour moratorium ahead of the polls’ opening when no political campaigning was allowed. This did not allow enough time for experts to examine the recording and for the targeted representatives to effectively debunk the accusations.
Deepfakes could also cause distrust in information and data. Citizens could get confused with the influx of AI-generated materials, leading them to question legitimate materials. Malicious politicians could deflect any accusations as AI manipulations, while other political candidates would be flooded by deepfakes.
On the other hand, some experts are sceptical of the potential of AI deepfakes to threaten democratic processes. They claim that there is a lot of speculation on the real capabilities of AI, which came into play in 2020 but did not have a significant effect on previous elections.
How does the EU address the problem of deepfakes?
The EU has released many reports on the employment of AI and its malicious use, in part by generating deepfakes. The EU took a serious stance on developing preemptive measures for AI misuse, and in December 2023, introduced the EU AI Act, the world’s first regulation on artificial intelligence. Article 52(3) devoted separate regulations of deepfakes. The act does not outlaw the use of such, but attempts to regulate them through transparency obligations placed on the creators.
The EU cybersecurity agency ENISA is also working on developing a framework on tackling AI-generated manipulations. It believes that the development of cybersecure infrastructures and the promotion of the integrity and availability of information is one of the main ways to tackle the issue of AI during the elections. Moreover, the EU has started working with external stakeholders to create deepfake-detective software. These include Meta, X and TikTok, which will be required to identify AI-generated content and label it in accordance with the Digital Services Act (DSA). Lastly, the EU has started working on creating resources for citizens on how to detect and approach deepfakes. Citizen awareness is a crucial part of protecting the upcoming European elections from disinformation and by equipping the electorate, the EU can help voters to make a conscious choice, free of manipulations.
AI-generated content is a new phenomenon that has not yet been fully studied. While it is a beneficial tool for a society that brings new possibilities, AI deepfakes pose a serious threat to the democratic process. The EU stands at the forefront of developing comprehensive legislation and cybersecurity measures to address the AI threat, but 2024 will become a test for the effectiveness of those and will show the true potential of the AI-generated content and its impact on the election campaigns in the world.
 I choose not to capitalise the country ‘russia’ or its adjective ‘russian’ as a way of showing support for Ukraine through written language. The atrocities committed by the russian regime and its supporters call for its non-recognition and isolation from the international community; hence, the symbolic choice to use an uncapitalised ‘r’.


He's not talking to Arizona citizens about Mexicans. He's talking about space aliens.
“To my mathematical brain, the numbers alone make thinking about aliens perfectly rational,” he said. “The real challenge is to work out what aliens might actually be like.”
The answer, he suggests, is that most of it will be the equivalent of microbes or simple animals — the sort of life that has dominated Earth for most of its history.
One scene in his documentary for the Discovery Channel shows herds of two-legged herbivores browsing on an alien cliff-face where they are picked off by flying, yellow lizard-like predators. Another shows glowing fluorescent aquatic animals forming vast shoals in the oceans thought to underlie the thick ice coating Europa, one of the moons of Jupiter.
Such scenes are speculative, but Hawking uses them to lead on to a serious point: that a few life forms could be intelligent and pose a threat. Hawking believes that contact with such a species could be devastating for humanity.
He suggests that aliens might simply raid Earth for its resources and then move on: “We only have to look at ourselves to see how intelligent life might develop into something we wouldn’t want to meet. I imagine they might exist in massive ships, having used up all the resources from their home planet. Such advanced aliens would perhaps become nomads, looking to conquer and colonise whatever planets they can reach.”
He concludes that trying to make contact with alien races is “a little too risky”. He said: “If aliens ever visit us, I think the outcome would be much as when Christopher Columbus first landed in America, which didn’t turn out very well for the Native Americans.”

MAGICAL MYSTERY TOUR REVISITED (2012)
BBC's Arena presents the greatest Beatles story never told. A one-hour documentary full of fabulous Beatles archive material never shown before, anywhere in the world. Songs you'll never forget, the film you've never seen and a story that's never been heard.
In 1967, in the wake of the extraordinary impact of Sgt. Pepper, The Beatles made a film - a dreamlike story of a coach daytrip, a magical mystery tour. It was seen by a third of the British nation, at 8.35pm on BBC1 on Boxing Day - an expectant public, hoping for some light entertainment for a family audience. Magical Mystery Tour was greeted with outrage and derision by middle England and the establishment media.
'How dare they', they cried, 'They're not film directors, who do they think they are?' they howled. Where were the four lovable moptops of Help! and A Hard Day's Night?
What propelled The Beatles to make this surreal, startling and - at the time - utterly misunderstood film? By the end of 1967, The Beatles had achieved a creativity unprecedented in popular music. Their triumphant summer release, Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, was both avant garde and an instant hit. It went straight to No.1 in June and remained there for the rest of the year.
They immersed themselves in the fiercely radical art of the new counter culture and decided to make a film on their own terms, not as pop stars, but as artists.
Roll up, Roll Up for the Mystery Tour....Step right this way!
Contributors include Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, Peter Fonda, Martin Scorsese, Terry Gilliam, Paul Merton and Neil Innes. (00:59:00)

A group of friends with big dreams and even bigger hearts started a summer business that is helping black-owned businesses and neighborhoods in Minneapolis affected by the coronavirus pandemic and protests following the death of George Floyd.
Fueled by boredom and an itch for something new, 9-year-old Kamryn Johnson and five of her friends who live in neighboring Chanhassen decided to open a stand selling friendship bracelets.
After a lot thinking about where the money would end up going, the group agreed that the proceeds would be donated to businesses and food banks in Minneapolis.
Led by Kamryn, the group named their effort “Kamryn & Friends: Bracelets For Unity & Justice.” Since setting up the stand on May 30, the kind kiddos have raised more than $90,000 through sales of the bracelets online fundraising and donations, according to Kamryn’s dad, former NFL player Ron Johnson.
“She has a huge heart and simply wanted to be of help in whatever way she could,” Johnson told CNN. “She and her friends are finding ways to feed the families of Minneapolis and give back to their community in the way they know how.”
While the funds will be going toward helping various businesses damaged during protests, Johnson said the focus is on helping black business owners get back on their feet.
They had already been harmed by the coronavirus pandemic, which forced Minnesota into a statewide shutdown for a month. Then the May 25 death of black resident George Floyd triggered nights of protests and violence in cities across the country.
Scores of businesses in the Twin Cities – Minneapolis and St. Paul – were damaged or looted during days of unrest.
‘When you look at Minneapolis, there is a huge racial gap in basically every aspect of life,” Johnson said. “It’s not equal. We want to be there for black businesses, especially those that don’t have insurance agents to help them out, to let them know they have people that will protect and fight for them.”
A portion of the money is going toward feeding the community and providing families with resources such as diapers and laundry detergent. The kids are donating some of their funds to Minneapolis’ Sanctuary Covenant Church’s food drive and the Kyle Rudolph food and supply Drive.
When the children first came up with the idea, Johnson said he expected them to raise “maybe $50 or something small.” After news of their efforts unexpectedly began to spread, people across the country were donating to the cause.
But that’s not the only impact the children are having on the movement.
“Day after day, we’re having impactful conversations with so many people. So many of our community members have come by to drop off supplies, or just talk about things like racism and injustice, stuff that we don’t talk about very often,” Ron Johnson said.
“We want to stay in the fight. We don’t plan on giving a bit and then walking away and going about our day. We’re fighting for our community and it’s not going to end any time soon. This is a fight for racial equality and an end to police brutality. It’s something we still need to talk about.”
While America is a long way from reaching true equality, for now, Kamryn and her friends will continue spreading joy by selling bracelets for as long as people are willing to buy them.

President confirmed four dead in the accident during a supply operation
A video released on social media shows the moment a Colombian army helicopter lost control and began to spin, before crashing in Quibdó, in the Chocó region. Colombian President Gustavo Petro confirmed the death of the four soldiers who were on board.
The helicopter was on a supply mission, to bring food to soldiers on the ground, when it crashed, explained the president in a first message on Twitter.
“A few minutes ago an army helicopter crashed in Quibdó, which was carrying out supply functions. I ordered the authorities to immediately go to the place and respond with an emergency and investigate the causes of what happened”, said Petro.
About an hour and a half later it confirmed that there were no survivors. “With sadness I regret to inform that there were no survivors of the plane crash in Quibdó. I accompany the families of Captain Héctor Jerez, Lieutenant Julieth García, Second Sergeant Johan Orozco and Second Sergeant Ruben Leguizamon in this painful moment. We will not leave them alone”, he indicated. .
The helicopter was charred, having caught fire in the fall.


By Rey Anthony Chiu | 03:36 PM November 15, 2022
If there is anything worth looking forward to, African Swine Fever (ASF), when it was first detected in the Philippines in July 2019, has since hit 53 provinces, 704 cities/municipalities, and 3 832 barangays, has opened up the pigpens of opportunity for Bohol backyard hog raisers.
But, being an ASF-free province, prices of live weight of pigs have risen from P110 in January 2020 to P180 in October 2022.
In fact, if one wants the less hassle and shorter time to fatten their piglets, selling them a few months after weaning, as raw material for lechon, gives one the biggest of profit margins.
According to data from the Office of the Provincial veterinarian, from P119 per kilo live weight in January of 2021, the current price is P250 per kilo as of October 2022. This is an increase of P131 per kilo since ASF was declared in some areas in Luzon then.
And for backyard growers who are into butchering and selling the meat, pork price per kilo has since risen from P195 per kilo in January 2021 to PP320, an increase of P125 per kilo as noted last month.
A possible bigger profit may be up with Luzon markets now low on pork supply.
Nearby Zamboanga City is currently wrestling to contain the disease, some 4,365 pigs have died, and more have been culled as the city remains under ASF red zone, the disease present in 34 out of its 98 barangays.
In Sorsogon in the Bicol region in Luzon, veterinary authorities killed 727 pigs from September to October from 238 pig raisers, just to control the spread of the disease.
In the Visayas, while Central Visayas, that is Cebu, Bohol, Negros oriental and Siquijor have remained ASF Free, the situation in southern Leyte, an hour away from Bohol is seemingly desperate.
From March of this year to August of this year, ASF-Task Force teams have culled around 2 500 pigs of 511 pig raisers to stop the spread of the disease.
In the Department of Agriculture’s Bureau of Animal Industry tracking, as of September 16, only regions 6 and 7 have remained ASF-free. Then, a month later, the first ASF case in Western Visayas Region was reported in Iloilo.
Western Visayas also happens to be one of the biggest suppliers of live pig to Manila, which would be cut off with the disease noted there.
This opens the pen doors for Bohol growers, who continue to ship their live pigs via hog vans and ship them to Manila where the demand is escalating and the supply is dwindling.
Provincial Veterinarian Dr Stella Marie Lapiz also said that when hogs supply in Manila started to get low, Bohol shipped at the peak of COVID, some 3,958 hogs from January to June 2021 and then P13,211 heads in July to December 2021.
By 2022, from January to June, Bohol shipped out 14,468 head and then 4,970 head in July to September.
The market is really big and for Bohol growers to benefit from it however, it is imperative that everyone do their share in making sure Bohol remains ASF free so we could continue shipping out and profit, Dr. Lapiz stressed. (rahc/PIA_7/Bohol)


President has been in Saudi Arabia for two months
Yemeni President Ali Abdullah Saleh has vowed to return home to Yemen, two months after travelling to Saudi Arabia to be treated for wounds sustained during an attack on his palace compound in June.
“See you soon in Sanaa,” Saleh said in a televised address to his supporters from Riyadh.
The US and Saudi Arabia have both called for Saleh to stand down over concerns that further conflict will boost the power of the Yemen-based wing of Al-Qaeda. Both countries have offered Saleh a GCC-brokered plan that would see a transition of power in Yemen. Saleh has agreed to the deal and then backed out of signing it at the last minute three times.
The US is seeking an immediate transfer of power to the acting head of state, Vice-President Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi.

Tottenham defender Juan Foyth claims a potential loan move to Championship promotion chasers Leeds never crossed his mind, despite his first-team action being limited in north London.
The 21-year-old joined Spurs from Argentine outfit Estudiantes for £8m in August 2017 after turning down French powerhouse PSG, but he failed to make the impact some thought he would make - earning himself just six appearances in an injury hit debut campaign.
As a result, Foyth was heavily linked with a loan move to Leeds United last summer, where he would have linked up with fellow countryman Marcelo Bielsa at Elland Road. The versatile defender has revealed though in an interview with football.london that he was unaware of the speculation, and was just focused on learning and developing his game.
"I was never told anything about that so I don't know whether it was actually true or not," Foyth explained.
"I have to guide myself on what my agent says. Despite everything I started the season really wanting and looking forward to being here, despite not having a position (in the Champions League squad) and I just wanted to learn day by day."
The form of Belgian duo Jan Vertonghen and Toby Alderweireld further limited Foyth's playing time this term and when he eventually made his Premier League debut in Spurs' 3-2 victory at Wolves in November, Foyth conceded two penalties - casting further doubt over his ability to compete at the highest level.
But Foyth bounced back and the following week scored the winner away at Crystal Palace - and the young defender has revealed that his relationship with Pochettino was a factor in his ability to bounce back, in part due to his manager's confidence in his ability.
He added: "I think he (Pochettino) understood, He was a central defender like me, he played in my position and he told me that this is a situation he had been in.
"He always supports us and this gives you confidence you know to go forward and keep working. It's really, really nice."

Director Antoine Fuqua (Training Day, The Equalizer) remakes the classic Yul Brynner western from 1960, itself a remake of The Seven Samurai. Denzel Washington (Training Day, Remember the Titans) leads the pack this time out and the result is a rousing and very enjoyable western thanks in large part to its all-star cast.
Academy Award Winning filmmaker Oliver Stone (JFK, Platoon) directs star Joseph Gordon-Levitt in this biopic of Edward Snowden. Despite being familiar territory for Stone, Snowden has a hard time rising above being an average government thriller than being something much more of the moment and urgent that it desperately wants to be, despite another solid showing from star Levitt.

Ben-Hur is a remake of the Oscar winning 1959 Charlton Heston classic, which was also a remake, interestingly enough. This iteration, starring Jack Huston and Morgan Freeman, fails to live up to its predecessors, making for a bland and forgettable filmgoing experience.
Disney continues the recent trend of remakes of their beloved classics with Pete’s Dragon, and like The Jungle Book and Cinderella, this particular version proves to be a successful and surprisingly emotional update of the 70s original.
Taking place in the same cinematic universe as this years Batman V Superman, Suicide Squad takes the biggest and baddest villains of those two heroes and puts them together for the first time on screen.

‘Power Games’ is the debut studio album for Jaguar, and it was originally released in March of 1983 by Neat Records. Even though the album was recorded almost a year earlier in early 1982, the label’s financial problems delayed the printing for several months. “Power Games” is a 100% classic album (but definitely overlooked) with a variety of speed metal and N.W.O.B.H.M. themes. Jaguar is one of the originators of Speed/Thrash metal, but when Pepperd and Merell decided that the successor of ‘Power Games’ will be a U2 meets Big Country –like album things got really bad for the band. Entitled ‘This Time’, the follower was so soft and melodic that it actually destroyed their reputation as the majority of their fans did not follow them to this totally different musical direction, which also led to commercial failure. Musically speaking Jaguar had a unique style and a personal sound, but you can (as always) find similarities with other great bands of the genre, so probably Saxon, Diamond Head or even Blitzkrieg can be named. The lyrical content is not only about war. You can find lyrics that are dealing about heavy metal attitude, a tribute to the Dutch fan base from the band’s early days, girls, or the lack of money and life matters in general or even about protesting against fox hunting (?). To be honest the 80’s lyrics are totally nostalgic from a rather too different era that sounds so naïve in our days. ‘Power Games’ is an absolutely interesting release that succeeded the famous ‘Axe Crazy’ 7” single that for an unknown reason wasn’t on the LP track list and had created a kind of anticipation about this album among the N.W.O.B.H.M. circles and fans back in the days (a single that actually delivered us one of the first speed metal songs in music history along the song ‘Faster Than the Speed of Light’ from the mighty Raven and the album ‘Wiped Out’ also issued via Neat in 1982). The production isn’t perfect (or clean) but it has a street feeling and the sound is raw and aggressive (same for the gritty vocals), while the guitar riffs are brilliant even though simple, while the album has plenty of great solos too. As Priest and Maiden were at the moment huge names, the dual guitars were dominating the metal universe and probably Jaguar that had only one guitarist may sounded a little weak back then and definitely with less harmonies. But these guys were delivering excellent proto Speed Metal anthems that were influenced by classic rock bands like UFO or Scorpions (‘Master Game’). The song ‘Master Game’ is a war ballad that shows the range of the band members’ talent of writing really good songs without necessarily being based in speed. Stand out tracks are the opener “Dutch Connection” with its hard rocker brilliant riff, the dirty ‘Out Of Luck’, ‘Rawdeal’ and my personal favorite ‘Ain’t No Fantasy’ where Cox’s killer base lines match so perfectly with Pepperd’s rough guitar. The re-issue by Dissonance Productions, as well as the 1998 release, has three more songs : the legendary ‘Axe Crazy’, ‘War Machine’ that originally appeared on the 1980’s ‘6 Tracks Demo’ and was on the B’ side of ‘Axe Crazy’ 7” (the song also appears on the High Roller Records release ‘Opening the Enclosure’ compilation that features many hidden unreleased material from their 1980-1982 demo era) and ‘Dirty Tricks’ that originally appeared on two compilations: ‘60 Minute Plus’ (Neat Records, 1982) and on ‘All Hell Let Loose’ (Neat, 1983) .

The UK Ministry of Defence has officially confirmed that it supplied precision-guided Brimstone 2 missiles to Ukraine.
Earlier this week, EurAsian Times reported that Brimstone laser-guided missiles, which have double the range of the previous model, were sent to Ukraine. The United Kingdom delivered the first Brimstone 1 missiles about six months ago.
“As part of its aid package, the UK has provided Brimstone 2 missiles, a precision-guided missile, to the Ukrainian Armed Forces,” the defense ministry tweeted.
? As part of its aid package, the UK has provided Brimstone 2 missiles, a precision-guided missile, to the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
This aid has played a crucial role in stalling Russian advancements.
— Ministry of Defence ?? (@DefenceHQ) November 27, 2022
The text was accompanied by a video showing the transportation of the missiles. The ministry did not specify how many projectiles were delivered.
Earlier this month, the defense ministry said it would shortly provide Ukraine with some 1,000 additional surface-to-air missiles, adding that the delivery will include missiles and launchers capable of destroying air targets, such as drones and cruise missiles.
Russia has repeatedly stressed that military aid to Ukraine has made NATO allies and partners part of its conflict with Ukraine. The Kremlin says that the flow of weapons to the country will only delay a negotiated solution.
The laser-guided Brimstone 2 missile, with a range of 7.5 miles, will be a mighty addition to Kyiv’s arsenal. Even though Brimstone is often fired from the air, Ukrainian soldiers frequently use modified trucks as mobile launchers to hit Russian positions
Brimstone 2 missiles, which cost approximately £175,000 each, can kill targets by tracking a laser fired by infantry, aircraft, or vehicles. The missile can select targets from a pre-programmed list using a high-frequency millimetric wave radar, lessening the probability of civilian losses.
On November 15, a video purportedly documenting the launch of several Brimstone 2 missiles appeared online.
Even though the video is of low resolution, experts pointed out a particular glint on the seeker head or dome that may suggest they are a newer model of the missile with a transparent seeker dome as opposed to those observed earlier in Ukraine with a translucent seeker dome.
Some newly circulating footage of a Brimstone technical in action.
We first saw Brimstone in action in May. A very short clip but there may be a glint from a different seeker head to the one previously seen in #Ukraine.

The Brimstone missile family, developed by the UK, consists of fixed-wing, rotary, and surface-launched missiles.
In 2016, then-Minister for Defense Procurement Philip Dunne stated that the Brimstone missile had proved itself as a critical tool in coalition operations against ISIS.
Group Captain Rich Davies, Station Commander of RAF Marham, pointed out that Brimstone is the RAF’s preferred close air support weapon. He added that it is simple to use against static and moving targets and enables users to deal with threats in a complicated environment with maximum effect.
Brimstone-2 Missile Development
The Brimstone missile is developed by MBDA, a company that was established in 2001 as a result of the amalgamation of numerous European missile makers, including the British Matra BAe Dynamics.
The missile is essentially a derivative of the American Hellfire missile. It is six feet long and closely resembles the latter.
While the Brimstone was initially intended to be nothing more than a better Hellfire, the RAF’s requirements also demanded so many alterations that the final weapon ended up having no components shared with the Hellfire.
This effectively negated the entire idea of deriving one weapon from another. Between November and December 2015, the British military used Brimstone to strike ISIS in Iraq and Syria.
Brimstone 2 has new features than its predecessor, which boosts its overall effectiveness. For instance, the Brimstone is powered by a two-stage solid-fuel rocket motor. The fuel runs out quickly in this mechanism, leaving the missile to travel primarily by inertia to its target.
On the other hand, the Brimstone 2 was the first to use a more robust and longer-burning rocket motor, which resulted in a 200% increase in range.
The Brimstone 2 uses sophisticated dual-mode and laser technology to more effectively track low reflectivity objects, such as camouflaged vehicles, in congested surroundings.
Its upgraded Vulcan rocket motor, which doubles the range of the baseline variant, broadens the missile’s operational range. The motor is resistant to explosions, bullet penetration, and other environmental stressors.
The missile was chosen as the basis for the UK’s Selected Precision Effects at Range (SPEAR) Capability 2 missile and went into serial production on July 16, 2014. In February 2016, Brimstone 2 finished its operational evaluation tests on the Tornado G4.
With Brimstone 2, which builds upon Brimstone’s combat experience, the Ukrainian military will have a cutting-edge weapon created for the modern battlefield.

In the west-central San Joaquin Valley, California, pumping of ground water has changed water levels, thereby increasing the stresses that tend to compact alluvium by as much as 50 percent and creating a large area of intense land subsidence.
The estimated 1943–1960 specific unit compaction (compaction during a time period, per unit thickness, per unit applied-stress increase) of the deposits in a northern subarea is four times that of a southern subarea, which suggests marked differences in the compressibility of the deposits. A third of the compressibility difference is real and is due to less prior total applied stress in the northern than in the southern subarea.
The other two-thirds of the compressibility difference is only apparent and is attributed to different water-expulsion rates in the clayey beds of different depositional environments. In the northern subarea, the deposits are mainly flood-plain sediments that contain extensive sand beds and thin clayey beds that are dewatered relatively quickly under increasing effective stress. In the southern subarea, the sediments are mainly alluvial-fan deposits that contain thick clayey sequences adjacent to lensing sandy beds. These deposits are de-watered more slowly than those in the northern subarea.
Variations of mean lithology in the chief compacting zone could not be correlated with variations in the specific unit compaction of the deposits.
