Personal experience leaves believing that all obstacles are surmountable; daunting as they are. As stated; this knowledge comes through trial and error and having experienced events you would not believe humanly possible. That a human being would still be alive after they occurred. I leave you with my favorite quote…
This I know..

A medical novelty has recently appeared on the market of pharmacological services, which, according to the manufacturer, effectively treats infectious diseases in children, helps the body recover from a long illness, and also has a number of other properties. Her name is Derinat. It is necessary to pay tribute to this drug, because despite his "youth", he managed to earn a sufficient amount of positive feedback from consumers. So, Derinat for children: reviews.
Derinat: instructions for use for children, reviews
Derinat is an antiviral immunomodulating drug developed on the basis of natural products: sturgeon and salmon milk. It has an effect on the body's immune system, activating anti-inflammatory, anti-fungal and regenerating functions. Derinat normalizes the state of the respiratory organs in respiratory viral diseases, and also contributes to the rapid healing of wounds, trophic ulcers and burns.
How and why use the drug Derinat?
Derinat is available in several forms: nasal drops, solution for external use, injections for intramuscular use. Each of the forms of release is prescribed for use, depending on the diagnosis.
Doctors recommend Derinat to children with such diseases as:
- acute respiratory infections and viral infections;
- rhinitis and sinusitis;
- burn lesions;
- scarlet fever;
- peptic ulcer diseases;
- bronchial asthma.
Doctors prescribe the dosage of the medicinal product only on the basis of the established diagnosis. According to parents, most often Derinat is prescribed as follows:
- Nasal drops. Use 3-5 drops in each nasal sinus, and especially small children are recommended to insert cotton swabs soaked in the preparation. To prevent the treatment of rhinitis and sinusitis, it is necessary to drip 2-3 drops into each nostril. The course of treatment is 10-14 days.
- Eye drops. It can only be used in the treatment of eye diseases in 1-2 drops every three times a day. The course of treatment ranges from 2 weeks to one and a half months, depending on the severity of the course of the disease.
- Solution for external use. Used for the treatment of burn diseases in children, stomatitis and other pathologies of the oral cavity, frostbite and ulcers. The medicine is applied in the form of lotions on the affected area of the body 2-4 times a day. For the treatment of stomatitis, the solution is used as a mouth rinse from 3 to 5 times a day. The course of treatment is from 1 week to 10 days.
- Injections for intramuscular use. They require slow injection of the drug into the muscle for 1-2 minutes, intravenous use is strictly prohibited. It is better if this procedure will be carried out by a qualified specialist, since the injection is very painful. The dose of a single use is compiled depending on age: from 0 to 2 years - ½ ml of 1.5% solution; from 2 to 10 years - ½ ml for 1 year of the child; From 10 years old - an average of 4-5 ml.
In case of bronchial asthma, sore throat, severe coughing, as well as for prevention, Derinat may be used in membrane and compression inhalers.
What are the negative reactions of the body to the action of the drug?
Derinat has no contraindications and side effects, except for the possible individual intolerance to the components of the drug and its use during lactation. The medicine is prescribed even for newborns.
Substances that are part of the drug, help alleviate the condition of the sick child, and the products of its half-life are well excreted by the body. However, if you read and analyze feedback from parents who used Derinat for the treatment and prevention of their children, you can note some side effects of the drug.
Derinat for children: parents reviews
As they say, how many people have so many opinions - and this statement is especially characteristic of Derinat.
Nose drops for children Derinat reviews collect the most opposite. Most parents argue that the drug perfectly helps children with a cold, as well as with eye problems. However, it is necessary to use it at the initial stage of the disease. In acute diseases, parents note less effectiveness.
The absolute advantage of the drug is that it is used even for very young children, when the use of other drugs is not possible. But the inconvenient form of release and nozzle for instillation of the nose worsen its statistical data. Also, in comparison with analogues Derinat is a rather expensive medicine.
Injections Derinat reviews have positive and negative. The advantages of consumers include:
- rapid action of the drug;
- half-life products are excreted by the body independently and do not affect the liver and kidneys;
- absolute effectiveness is achieved after 4-5 injections.
From the negative reviews it is worth noting that injections are not always well tolerated by the child. Very often, at the puncture site, severe painful sensations occur, the body temperature rises, and a deterioration of the blood composition in the form of a drop in hemoglobin is possible.
Some reviews of parents say about the appearance of side effects that are not listed in the official instructions for the use of the drug Derinat. These include:
- sleep disturbance;
- labored breathing;
- abdominal pain.
It should also be noted that Derinat is a completely new drug in the market of pharmacological services, so not all doctors trust its effectiveness.
It can be concluded that nasal drops and injections for children Derinat is an excellent antiviral agent, with virtually no side effects. However, before using the drug should consult a doctor, as there is no scientific evidence of absolute safety.

The group’s sound is heavily influenced by ‘90s hard rock and grunge bands such as Alice In Chains, STP, and Guns & Roses. Singer Nick Hunt delivers powerful and ranged rock vocals that soar along with the ripping and tearing guitar parts laid down by twin axe-men Nick Fitzgerald and James Longoria. Rounding out the lineup are John Livergood and Barry Carter on bass and drums respectively.

President Donald Trump’s national security adviser said Wednesday that the administration hasn’t yet made up its mind on further sanctions against Russia tied to the poisoning of an ex-Russian spy.
The U.S. imposed the latest Russian sanctions earlier this year in reaction to the poisoning of Sergei Skripal and his daughter in Britain.
John Bolton said Wednesday the administration is “still considering what we may be obligated to do” under the statute that entails further sanctions if Russia does not prove its innocence in the poisoning of the former Russian agent.
Bolton was speaking in Azerbaijan’s capital after spending two days in talks in Moscow. Bolton reiterated Trump’s intention to pull out of a key arms control treaty while President Vladimir Putin emphasized the need to maintain a dialogue nevertheless.

“for in Him we live and move and have our being, as also some of your own poets have said, For we are also His offspring.” Acts 17:28
Apparently the Apostle Paul did not spend all his time reading only the Scriptures (though one could argue he knew it better than any man has ever known it, both ancient and modern). Here in speaking at the Areopagus to the people of Athens, the Apostle Paul references the Greek poets Aratus and Cleanthes when he says “For we are also his offspring”. Paul is not negating the need for faith to be a true child of God, only that the poets had discovered some measure of truth in that all the children of Adam owed their existence to God, and in that sense God was their Father. Though they had not become true sons, adopted sons that is, through faith in Jesus Christ.
All of that to say that reading some things outside of the Scriptures is not evil (granted I’ll be stretching my application of this verse a bit, so bear with me). Though anything outside of the Scriptures must automatically be considered as imperfect, since only God’s Word is perfect alone. Though you may learn some truth in another book, it is still not the truth. It is only a shadow in comparison to the light of God’s Word.
I am going to be adding another page to this site where I will start to put Christian Book reviews. Since becoming a Christian I have fallen in love with reading. One of my pastors once said, “Leaders are readers and readers are leaders”. In these reviews I plan to pick out a few of the highlights (there are always way too many to pick out, but that’s a good problem to have) as well as possibly give a few critiques (mostly theological ones when I find them). The way I see all this, it helps when you have a friend who can refer good books to you and help steer you through them. There are only so many books we will have the time to read in life, so why not pick some recommended ones? If you do decide to read a recommended book I ask that you still do so with discernment and prayer, because even the best of books are still not the Bible.
The Holy Bible (this one is always number one and should be read more often than anything else, it trumps any book any time).

Voices of the Martyrs, John Foxe

Today we are making jiggly Japanese cheesecake aka a cotton cheesecake. With a pressure cooker. Because I do not have an oven and it is actually easier to bake a jiggly Japanese cheesecake with the pressure cooker than in the oven (no water bath needed). This is different from a New York cheesecake which uses a lot more cheesecake and is a denser, more flavourful and heavy cake.
When baking with a pressure cooker you can pour it into the inner pot, or put it in a baking tin. With this recipe you can do it with either. With the baking tin, you get a more cake-like structure but you need to do the extra work of prepping the baking paper. Both outcomes are similarly delicious and addictive.
Here are the ingredients for a 7-inch cheesecake. I’m including the brands I used for each ingredient. You can follow or replace them with your favourite brands:
- 80 g Full Cream Milk (Good Day)
- 140 g Cream Cheese (Philadelphia)
- 40 g Butter (Emborg)
- 60 g Plain Flour / All Purpose Flour (storebrand)
- 20 g Corn Flour / Corn Starch (storebrand)
- 5 large fresh eggs (weighs 58-60 gr. each with shell)
- 100 g Fine Sugar
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp cream of tartar
(1) In order to retrieve your cake in its entirety you need to grease and line your 7 inch cake tin with baking/parchment paper at the bottom and on the sides. If you are baking with the inner pot, grease the pot with butter, at the bottom and 3 inches up the sides. You do not need to preheat the pressure cooker.
(2) For the sides, make sure your side baking parchments extend 1 cm (no more) above the height of your pan. For some reason if the baking paper is too “tall”, the side of the cake will collapse as it shrinks. Too short and the cake sort of “overflows” over the rim and again, you end up with a not so pretty cake.
(3) You need an exit plan for how to remove the baking tin. The clippers I have could not fit into the small space between my baking tin and the inner pot. You could build like a carrier or lift thing out of aluminium foil like what I did here, except that the foil would probably tear before you could get your cake out, which happened to me.
The way I eventually get the baking tin out may get your fingers burned. I lift one side of the baking tin with a fork, then pull it out with a mittened hand. It gets the job done, and there is a slight dent to one corner of all my cakes but you won’t notice it if you aren’t paying attention. So there.
(4) Bake time is around 59 minutes. I usually need 30 to 40 minutes to prepare the ingredients so you will need to block out 2 hours (or less) for this cake.
(5) Look up “how to fold whipped egg whites into batter” before you start. This is very important. Watch videos on how the experts do it. Watch a lot of videos.
For me, folding is quite painful to learn. I don’t know how many failed cheesecakes I had made because I failed at folding. Look up how to fold whipped up egg whites into batter on Youtube or baking sites if this is your first time. It takes some practice. Okay, it takes a lot of practice on my part.
(6) Before you start baking, add your corn starch to the flour and mix them well. Sift three times if time permits, sift at least once if it doesn’t.
1. Let the cream cheese and butter soften to room temperature (this needs 3 hours or 10 seconds in the microwave).
2. Separate the egg yolks from the egg whites. If this is your first time, be sure to:
– Use a clean bowl for the egg whites. There shouldn’t be a drop of water in the bowl for whipping the egg whites.
– Not have any of the egg yolks in the egg whites. Otherwise, the whipping of the egg whites will fail spectacularly. I learned this the hard way. It is okay to have egg whites in the egg yolk.
– Add cream of tartar to the egg whites before whipping, especially if you are new to this.
3. Mix together the melted cream cheese and butter first. Be sure to mix well and don’t leave any lumps in. Add some of the milk if the mixture is too thick.
Once the mixture is no longer warm, add the egg yolks and vanilla extract. Don’t throw all the ingredients in in one go, doing bit by bit makes the mixing a lot easier albeit slower. Think of the end result.
4. To this batter, sift the flour and corn starch bit by bit, in 3-4 different batches. Mix well after every addition.
5. Sift this combined mixture into another bowl.
Whipping the Egg Whites
1. Whip up the 5 egg whites with 1/4 tsp cream of tartar. Whip and low speed for 1 full minute.
2. Add the 100 g of sugar in multiple batches as you whip the egg whites. The first one-third of sugar should go into the egg whites only after you have beaten the egg whites for a minute. Gradually add the rest and stop after you have obtained stiff peaks AND a condensed milk consistency (it takes around 5 to 7 minutes, depending on what speed you use).
Combining The Two
1. Take a quarter of the whipped egg whites which at this point is more like foam than something solid or liquid, and add it to the batter (from the previous section). Mix it any way you like. Go crazy. This is just to dilute the batter so that it is easier to fold.
2. Next, fold the whipped up egg whites into your batter, this time in one-third portions at a time. My favourite technique that I learned online is to turn the bowl a quarter of the way every time I fold. So my bowl makes a full 360 degrees every four times I fold. For every one-third I put in, I fold 20 times (yes, I count it). This is an easy-to-follow foolproof plan that only works if you know how to fold (take from the bottom, drop it back to the top, your wrist will be making full circles).
3. Once you are satisfied with the folding, pour the concoction into your already-greased inner pot or into your already-lined-with-baking-paper baking tin. With the baking tin, just put it straight into the inner pot. You do not need to raise it on anything else, you do not need to put any water in. The baking tin is in direct contact with the inner pot.
4. Remember to lift and drop the pan (or bang the side of the pot gently with a wooden spoon) a few times to get rid of bubbles inside before you put it into your PPC to bake. You can stop when the surface is as smooth as it can possibly be. Don’t take too long with this.
5. Select BAKE mode, set the timer for 59 minutes. Keep the regulator at SEAL. Once the timer has started, when it counts down to around the 20-minute mark, turn the regulator to BAKE. Sometimes it depressurises a bit (you hear a hiss), sometimes nothing happens.
Getting the Cake Out
If you are baking with the tin, once it is done, open the lid to snap your picture then close it back up. Leave it in Keep Warm mode for 2 minutes.
Then, open the lid and remove the cake from the pressure cooker. This open-and-shut step is important to prevent too much shrinkage of the cake. (I explain why this is in my follow-up post.)
Remove the parchment, turn it over and remove the bottom parchment, take some pictures and jiggle with it (because this recipe is for a JIGGLY cake, so it MUST JIGGLE). You can look at the before and after pics to see how much shrinkage is involved.
If you are baking directly in the inner pot, once it is done, open the lid, take a pic and watch it shrink. Keep it in Keep Warm mode. Once the shrinking has stabilised or has stopped, remove it from the pressure cooker and turn it outside down to take the cake out.
The End Result
Here’s what inner pot baking looks like once the baking time is over. As you can see, the cake rises up to Level 9 (Rice).
Here’s what it shrinks to once it cools down. Yes, it shrinks all the way down to Level 4.
And this is when it is out of the pot and on the way into my stomach. (Don’t mind the line on the surface, I had an “accident” trying to get it out of the pot. It was during the early days of baking.)
I have since stopped baking directly in the inner pot not because it doesn’t taste good (it tastes heavenly) but because after putting all that hard work in, you want to see a beautiful cake, not a flat tyre in front of you. Or maybe that’s just me.
When baking with a tin, you get results like this. Hey, it’s looking back at you. I haven’t figured out how to ensure a smooth surface although to be honest, I do not think it is possible since the condensate from the batter drips from the inner lid back into the batter while it is baking.
Note that when baking with a PPC, it is the side that touches the bottom of the baking tin that is “burned”, while the top side remains a beautiful burn-free yellow (below).
In the pictures below, you can see the side of the cake “wrinkle” and be all groovy with us (I do not apologise for bad puns, deal with it).
When the shrinkage is great, you will get cakes that look like they are in the middle of deflating (like above). Keep trying.
And sometimes you get a cake that actually stands up proper, like it is proud to be a cake. Still, keep trying.
I cannot fathom how many times I have tried this recipe over and over again to perfect it to the point where I feel like I can finally let go and retire from all this baking nonsense.
I kid, I still love baking (it isn’t nonsense, it is Science!) but once I’ve gotten the recipe and the method the way I want it, the obsession is no longer there to keep trying. And this was the last original flavour Japanese Cheesecake I baked. So far.
I will be writing a follow-up post on what other Japanese Cheesecake flavours you can try with pretty much the same recipe as the above, and some troubleshooting (FAQ) that can help you produce a better end result.

NYU students reveal sad quarantine dorm meals on TikTok
New York University students who returned to campus this week are forced to coronavirus safety protocols. The school is delivering all meals to students — but things haven’t exactly gone smoothly.in their dorms as part of the school’s enhanced
Over 2,600 students are not allowed to leave their residence halls for two weeks under a mandate from Governor Andrew Cuomo, and many of them are sharing the less-than-optimal meals they have received so far on TikTok. NYU students appear to have taken over the app — dozens have posted now-viral videos demanding the school improve its quarantine meal plan.
According to the school, students living in dorms are meant to receive three meals each day, which arrive at their dorms in cardboard boxes and paper bags. They were asked to specify any allergies and dietary restrictions ahead of time.

When it comes to watchmaking, a minimalist style has always been something to aim for. Simultaneously, watches have also become more complicated with advancements in technology. Brands now have to squish more and new features into a single timepiece whilst keeping it lightweight and comfortable to wear. As such, designers are rediscovering space. This demand for minimalist style has borne the arrival of ultra thin watches onto the market.
We’ve been demanding this elegance since the 1960s when the trend first came about. However, it disappeared in the noughties and has just now made a comeback. This trend has been seen in brands such as Bvlgari and Piaget, to name two.
The idea of ultra thin watches isn’t a new one, but it has been made iconic by Piaget when it released the Altiplano. In the late 1950s, Piaget released the Calibre 9P, which was the slimmest mechanical movement and subsequently fitted inside the thinnest watch the world had ever seen.
A 2mm hand-wound movement could be found inside, giving rise to watches no thicker than 4mm. Without any digital technology inside, the Calibre 9P is still one heck of a timepiece.
This pursuit of developing ultra thin watches isn’t new, but the efforts brands have been putting in has really ramped up over the last few years. Audemars Piguet released their perpetual calendar watch containing complex movements that totalled 6.3mm.
As a reaction, Bvlgari broke not one, but three world records with the Octo Finissimo Tourbillon Automatic. At the time, this was the world’s thinnest automatic tourbillon watch.
They’re great examples of how innovative watchmakers can cram so much into such a slim timepiece. Believe it or not, there’s no universal definition of what an ultra thin watch is; however, every watch here measures under 9mm for this list.
So without further ado, here’s our list of the 11 best ultra thin watches for men.
Meister Driver Handaufzug
The Junghans Meister Driver is likened to the Christopher Ward C5. It has a slimline case which contains a hand-wound Peseux 7001 movement. What’s more, it has an Art Deco design and even tips its hat to the original speedometers made by Junghans back in the 1900s.
This watch is 7.3mm thick with a diameter of 37.7mm.
Royal Oak Jumbo Extra-Thin
The Royal Oak has an iconic look. It has svelte lines and an ultra thin form. Whilst there are plenty of Royal Oak ultra thin watch variants in the range, the brand recently released a platinum-titanium mixed version for a truly lightweight experience. Whilst you may think this is a strange combination, the contrast between durable titanium and polished platinum creates a unique two-tone effect that’s irresistible.
This watch contains a 2121 automatic movement. It’s 8.1mm thick with a 39mm diameter.
C5 Malvern 595
Coming in at less than 6mm thickness, the C5 Malvern 595 from Christopher Ward is one of the contenders for ultra thin watch under $1,000. Despite its slimline nature, it has the opulent finish you’d expect from a high-end dress watch. This includes a domed opaline dial, protected by a double-curved sapphire crystal face with transparent case backing.
Inside you’ll find a hand-wound Peseux 7001 movement. It’s 5.95mm thick with 39mm diameter.
Released at the tail end of 2017, the Altiplano 910P lived a short life as Bvlgari’s thinnest automatic watch. That was until they released the Octo Finissimo Tourbillon Automatic less than 6 months later. Regardless, the Piaget is a fine watch with perfect engineering that doesn’t come with a Bvlgari price tag.
Piaget made this watch so flat using a peripheral rotor. Additionally, they integrated a baseline of the movement into the case design, to save space.
Inside you’ll find a Piaget 910P movement. The watch is 4.3mm thick (thin) and 41mm in diameter.
The Tetra Neomatik is thin even for an ultra thin watch, nevermind an automatic. This is due to the in-house DUW 3001 calibre. This is a slim movement of only 3.2mm in thickness. It has an uncluttered dial with subtle lugs on a watch that has beautifully minimalist proportions.
Inside you’ll find an automatic Nomos DUW 3001 movement. The watch is 7.3mm thick and only 33mm in width.
Master Ultra Thin
The Master Ultra Thin watch is a timeless timepiece that features a glistening silver dial, dauphine hands and a slight sub-dial at the six o’clock position. The movement is only 4mm and is based on a well-tried Jager movement that has been around for decades.
Inside you’ll find the Jaeger-LeCoultre 896/1 automatic movement. The watch is only 7.58mm thick and 38.5mm in width.
As a brand, Chopard likes to bend the traditional rules, but as design goes, the XP is a simple, modern, ultra thin watch for dress occasions. The dial is clear and uncluttered with subtle verticle brushing. This gives it a raw steel look, and on top of this, the numerals are a bold blue. If you need additional luxury, and why not, you can get a cashmere wristband.
Inside is an automatic LU Chopard 96.53-L movement. The watch is 7.2mm thick and 40mm in width.
Drive de Cartier
Extra Flat Steel
The Drive de Cartier was released in 2017 too, but it could only be purchased in gold. In 2018, a stainless steel version was released, and the price dropped to under $6k. It kept the rounded square case original thinness.
Inside, you’ll find a hand-wound Piaget 430P with Cartier branding. The watch is 6.6mm thick and 39mm in diameter.
The Bvlgari Octo Finissimo is a famous timepiece for being stylish, but also being the thinnest of ultra thin watches, coming in at a slight 3.95mm. It contains an in-house movement is only 2.23mm. The range itself keeps expanding, with new ceramic, titanium and stainless steel versions being added in 2019. Plus, there’s an extraordinary skeleton dial version to boot. The bracelet has a unique angular look which is totally unlike anything else you’ll see. Thankfully, it’s incredibly comfortable to wear.
Inside is an automatic Bvlgari 138 movement. The watch is 3.95mm thick and 42mm in width.
Historiques Ultra-Fine 1955
When it first came to market in 2010, the Historiques Ultra-Fine ‘55 took the top spot as the thinnest mechanical timepiece globally at 4.13mm. Somehow, other watches have come along with even smaller proportions, but that doesn’t shake how beautiful the Historiques is, and as such, it will remain a timeless timepiece. The hand-wound in-house calibre is an impossibly thin 1.3mm. It’s called 1955 after its year of release.
Jazzmaster Thinline Auto
Finally, we get to another one of the best ultra thin watches for men that also comes in at less than $1,000. Most of these watches use a hand-wound movement to reduce the thickness, but somehow the Jazzmaster contains offers automatic winding and still only measures 8.5mm in height.
The Thinline comes in a few different colours which all shimmer in the sunlight. You can further opt for different dial colours, which also glitter. Old school lugs complete the look.
Inside is an automatic ETA 2892-A2 movement. It’s 8.45mm thick and 40mm in width.
These are the best ultra thin watches for men in 2021 and some are surprisingly cost-accessible at under $1,000.

Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal on Sunday condemned the ‘targeted’ killing of Kashmiri Pandits in the Kashmir Valley and warned Pakistan to stop supporting terrorism in India even as the slammed the BJP-led central government for mishandling the issue.
Addressing a ‘Jan Akrosh’ rally at Jantar Mantar, Kejriwal said Kashmiri Pandits are being forced to leave the Valley due to the targeted killings of the minority community, and added that this shows that the BJP cannot handle Kashmir and it only knows how to do dirty politics.
“The era of 1990 has come again. They (government) don’t have any plan. Whenever a killing takes place in Kashmir, it is said that the Union home minister is holding a high-level meeting. But where is the action plan? What is the plan? Kashmir wants an action plan. Yesterday, I saw that a three-hour-long high-level meeting was held. There have been too many meetings. Please take some action on the ground. People are dying,” Kejriwal said.
The security of Kashmiri Pandits living in the Valley was discussed at a high-level meeting in Delhi on Friday that was chaired by Union home minister Amit Shah, who took stock of the prevailing situation in Jammu and Kashmir, according to officials.National Security Advisor Ajit Doval, Army Chief General Manoj Pande, and Jammu and Kashmir Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha were among those who attended the meeting.
At least 12 civilians – of which six were local Muslims, four were Hindus from the Valley, including one Kashmiri pandit, and two non-locals— besides five security personnel have been killed by unidentified militants in the Valley since March. Many members from the migrant and Pandit communities said they feared for their lives and a return to the 90s, when many Pandit families were forced to flee their homes under the shadow of terror. Hundreds of Kashmiri Pandit employees deputed in the Valley under the Prime Minister’s package for the rehabilitation of the community in 2008 have been boycotting work and holding sit-in protests across Kashmir.
The rally at Jantar Mantar was organised by the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) to protest against the spate of violence against the Pandits.
Kejriwal said that the BJP has no plan to stop the killings. “With all the bloodshed that has happened in the recent past it has become clear that the BJP has no plan to stop this genocide. They have no plan to combat terrorism. In the last 30 years, these two periods of the BJP being in power have seen Kashmiri Pandits being forced into an exodus while these champions of internal security have done nothing. Why is it that Kashmiri Pandits have to flee their homeland whenever BJP comes to power? It seems like the BJP is not competent enough to take care of Kashmir. Either their interests lie in some adverse situation or they have no clue about governance,” Kejriwal said.
The BJP, however, hit back at the Delhi chief minister, saying he was only playing politics over a sensitive issue. Information and Broadcasting minister Anurag Thakur said, “At a time when the entire country is standing in solidarity with Kashmir, and condemning terrorist activities in one voice, Kejriwal has nothing to say against the terrorists and separatists. No government has been able to do for Kashmir what the BJP government has done in just eight years of its rule,” Thakur said.
Continuing his attack on the BJP, the Delhi chief minister put foth four demands from the Centre — draw an action plan on stopping the killings, cancel the bonds [allegedly signed by government staff], accept all demands of the Kashmiri Pandits and provide protection to the members of the community settled in the Valley.
“These people were made to sign bonds that they will have to forever work in Kashmir and if they seek a transfer they will be fired. The Kashmiri Pandits want this bond to be cancelled. When they sought transfers, the BJP government transferred 177 employees from one locality to another within Kashmir itself,” Kejriwal said.
The AAP national convener demanded the Centre make public its plan to deal with the situation in the Valley.
“The Centre should tell the public about its plan to tackle the situation in Kashmir, cancel the bond signed with Kashmiri Pandits that says they cannot work outside Kashmir, fulfil all their demands and provide them security,” Kejriwal said.
Kejriwal along with all those who attended the rally observed a two-minute silence to pay a tribute to those killed by terrorists in Kashmir.
“When Kashmiri Pandits raise their voice to protest the killings, they are locked inside their localities. Kashmiri Pandits only want security and nothing else,” Kejriwal said.
The AAP leader also warned Pakistan against exporting terror to India. “If you think you can take away Kashmir through these ploys, I warn you once again. Kashmir belonged to India. Kashmir belongs to India. And it will forever belong to India and its people,” Kejriwal said.
Slamming Kejriwal, Thakur said the AAP leader has no understanding of the issue. He said the development of Jammu and Kashmir is a priority for the Modi government. “No doubt, the recent events are unfortunate. But, under the Modi government, our army has been able to neutralise top militant commanders, and simultaneously unprecedented development and rehabilitation has taken place in the Valley. What has Arvind Kejriwal done for the Kashmiri Pandits in the Capital? Kejriwal questions surgical strike and air strike. He doesn’t acknowledge the massacre of Kashmiri Pandits,” the minister said in a statement.
Senior BJP leader Amit Malviya also hit out at Kejriwal and said the AAP leader should first make clear his stand on the issue. “Arvind Kejriwal, a political invertebrate, who till recently mocked genocide of Kashmiri Hindus, denied jobs to exiled Kashmiri Pandit’s, despite Court orders, in Delhi Govt schools, is now shedding tears for targeted killings in the valley.This is the power of patriotic votes,” Malviya tweeted.
Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal on Sunday alleged that the administration in the Jammu and Kashmir is not allowing Kashmiri Pandits to protest against the recent targeted killings in the Valley. Kejriwal was speaking at a protest held by the AAP at Jantar Mantar in the national capital against the Centre amid a spurt in targeted killings in Jammu and Kashmir.
“When they (Kashmiri Pandits) protest against the targeted killings, the present BJP government in Kashmir does not allow them to protest. If the government behaves like this, the suffering of the people becomes double,” Kejriwal said, adding that the BJP government has failed in this.
Kejriwal said Kashmiri Pandits don’t want meetings by the Centre, but demand action now. “The era of 1990 has come again. They (government) don’t have any plan. Whenever there is a murder in the Valley, news comes that the home minister has called a high-level meeting, enough of these meetings, now we need action, Kashmir wants action,” the Delhi CM said.
Kejriwal also made four demands to the Centre over the targeted killings in the Valley – an action plan to stop such incidents, cancel bonds signed with Kashmiri Pandits that says they cannot work outside Kashmir, fulfill the demands of Kashmiri Pandits and provide them security.
Kejriwal also warned Pakistan to stop petty tactics. “Kashmir will always be part of India,” Kejriwal.
Jammu and Kashmir has seen a rise in the killing of civilians over the last few months – 13 people have been shot dead in three months. Union home minister Amit Shah, J&K Lt governor Manoj Singha, and NSA Ajit Doval held a high-level meeting on Friday over the matter.
Also speaking on the occasion, AAP MP Sanjay Singh alleged that the prime minister, home minister, all Union ministers and MPs were shedding crocodile tears in the name of The Kashmir Files film.
“Today, Kashmiri Pandits are being massacred. I want to ask Modi ji where are your ministers, MPs and MLAs hiding right now?” Singh said.

Latin America loves the Spanish version much more than the original version as well. It helps they used the same voice talents used in Dragon Ball Z and Saint Seiya. Fans familiar with both American and Latin American versions have a hard time deciding which one they like better.
Awesome Music: Battle In Flash, the song that plays when they use their "Hissatsu" attacks (in episodes 31, 38, 44 and 51) and when Yattarou/Speedy destroys the comet (in episode 53). Sung by Ami Itabashi.

"Funny Aneurysm" Moment: In one episode, a mechanical dragon flies into (and straight through) a pagoda, throwing up clouds of dust and causing it to collapse on the street below. While not entirely a funny moment, it's not overly dramatic either, so it qualifies as this instead of Harsher in Hindsight. But YMMV.
Hilarious in Hindsight: At one point in episode 6, the Pizza Cats get trapped in a ball that oddly resembles a pokeball. The episode was made several years before Pokémon was created.

This is how you do it: you sit down at the keyboard and you put one word after another until it's done. It’s that easy, and that hard. ~ Neil Gaiman
The countdown is on for NaNoWriMo! For those who don't know, NaNoWriMo stands for National Novel Writing Month, an online challenge to write 50,000 words in thirty days during the month of November. For those of you (like me) who need a calculator to figure that out — it means doing 1,667 words per day.
Every day for a month.
So why do it? Some people find the challenge allows them to turn off their inner editor and get those words down. Others like the community of writers all pursuing the same goal. And still others are just a tiny bit weird and simply like the pressure. (I hear some people also really like going to the gym — so let’s be honest, there's a lot of weird out there.)
You can use NaNoWriMo as a chance to start and make a big dent in a new manuscript, push through an existing project, write up backstory/diary entries/character descriptions to flesh out a book, or do a series of short stories. You’ll see that in the Creative Academy we’ve got a lot of options to help keep you on target with your NaNoWriMo goals.
Free for everyone in our Resource Room

A couple of questions:
1) any issues with moving the hood latch mechanism to accomodate the booster cylinder? Was the sheet metal of the cowl and the grille set up to accomodate this change?
2) any issues with the booster and the underside of your hood? Or do you have a later hood already on there?

Can you post up the parts that you bought new or repaired and where you got them. This is an important build and someone 2 years from now will be asking and no one will know.
I also have an E300 and Mike showed me his nuts and I loved them right away!
Ok, Mike showed me his parts and I got excited!
Ok, whatever, Mike, can you please post where you got all of the things that you are putting into this build, and the part numbers.
what size socket is that nut? I need to do my brakes and want to do it right.
What is the proper reinstallation of that nut? Is it torque? Placement? What? I can read my book but, you know, this is easier and sometimes the book is different than what really works.

HARDYSTON -- Forestry work is scheduled to begin the week after Thanksgiving on a section of the Sparta Mountain Wildlife Management Area in the area between Lake Gerard and Tamarak Lake.
The state Department of Environmental Protection, which owns the management area, said no work will be done in the period of Dec. 3-8, and when it begins again, it will be finished before April 1. The December dates coincide with the annual six-day shotgun deer season.
The area to be worked will be about 17 acres in what is designated as Stand 33 in the forestry management plan approved for the wildlife management area in March 2017 after more than two years of controversy that included a series of public hearings and extended public comment periods.
The more than 3,460 acres of the wildlife management area were divided into 33 stands, or lots, with a specific plan for each of the lots, depending on the topography and vegetation.
Stand 33 is one of a couple of areas where the plan is to allow the 103 acres of the stand to become an "old growth" type of forest with a multitude of ages of trees.
The plan approved in 2017 is a continuation of the previous forestry plan and will itself be updated in the mid-2020s. Because much of the wildlife management area contains trees of a similar age, the intent is to create a multi-age forest.
Stand 33 and Stand 21 were selected in the final plan for the least disruptive amount of work because of their unique and high conservation value.
The work in Stand 33 will be on about 17 acres and will accelerate the development of old-growth forest by speeding up what nature would do over several years.
The workers will create small canopy gaps to allow growth of saplings of the type already in the stand, similar to how disease, lightning strikes and other natural events create similar gaps.
According to foresters, the intent is for the stand to contain three or more age classes at any given time.
About a quarter of the existing trees in the 17 acres of work will be cut or girdled and left as standing dead wood. Girdling is the process of using hatchets or chainsaws to cut a notch around the circumference of the tree.
According to the DEP, no heavy machinery or chemicals will be used, and none of the cut trees will be removed or sold.
There have been signs of beech bark disease, and the forestry work may include treatments to slow the spread of the condition, which is caused by a scale insect that injures trees enough for two types of fungi to get inside and eventually kill them.
The New Jersey Sierra Club, which was among the groups fighting the forestry plan, accused the DEP of a sort of "bait-and-switch" tactic by choosing to do this less-invasive work as a public relations ploy, while still intending to "log more than 700 acres."
"This is the first phase that is limited, but the DEP can expand it under the guise of protecting one bird," said Jeff Tittel, director of the New Jersey Sierra Club. "The Sparta Mountain Wildlife Management Area is an environmentally sensitive green-way in the Highlands region whose canopy protects the clean drinking water for 6 million people."
"This mountain belongs to all of us and not to private loggers," Tittel said. "Last spring when the DEP put the plan on hold, it was a step in the right direction. Now it's back! The DEP delayed the plan to diffuse public opposition and went forward with it anyway."

Phone-based community intervention may improve dementia patient and caregiver outcomes
A care management program conducted via telephone for caregivers of patients with Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia is associated with improved outcomes for both patients and carers, according to a new study in the United States.
In an assessment of 440 caregivers of older, community-dwelling, low-income care recipients (CRs) with dementia enrolled in the Pennsylvania Department of Aging’s SUSTAIN* program, it was found that caregivers who engaged in the program’s phone-based Enhanced Care Services (ECS, n=150) reported greater reductions in caregiver burden over time versus those who engaged in clinical evaluation only (n=290).
In addition, a statistically significant reduction was found in both the total reported frequency of dementia-related behaviors (p = 0.03) and caregiver distress in response to symptoms (p = 0.04) from baseline to 3-month follow-up. [Am J Geriatr Psychiatry 2017;25(9):1019–1028]
“The results further underscore the value of integrated and collaborative dementia care management interventions for caregivers,” wrote the researchers. “In addition, the findings suggest that collaborative dementia care management is effective in real-world settings, as analysis of caregivers of older adults enrolled in the SUSTAIN program allowed us access to a unique sample of geographically diverse, community-dwelling, informal caregivers who were offered services through their care recipients' health program.”
Primary outcomes of the study were perceived caregiving burden (measured via Zarit Burden Interview) and general health, while secondary outcomes were CR neuropsychiatric symptoms and caregiver distress in response to CRs' challenging dementia-related behaviors.
ECS services were delivered by nurses and social workers with expertise in symptom assessment and management strategies for caregivers of persons with moderate-to-severe dementia. These services included providing information and coordination for service referrals and community resources; as well as the Telehealth Education Program (TEP), a manualized program to train caregivers in various aspects of care management (eg, communication skills, behavioural management techniques, stress management and coping skills, and long-term planning.)
On average, caregivers involved in the study were 64.0 years old (standard deviation, SD, 11.8 years) and 62.6 percent provided care for the CR for 20 or more hours per week. Caregivers were primarily female (73.2 percent), Caucasian (90.2 percent), and spousal caregivers (72.5 percent). The total professional time dedicated to each caregiver—including intervention delivery and documentation—was approximately 12 to 20 hours.
“A service of this kind may serve as a useful adjunct to the dementia care offered in primary care practices and potentially benefit patients with dementia and their caregivers in a variety of community and clinical settings,” said the researchers. “Given that it is delivered over the phone and is in large part manual-driven, the program can be easily disseminated and implemented.”

It doesn’t feel like that long ago since Lewis Hamilton became the most decorated F1 driver of all time, winning his seventh world championship in November after a COVID-disrupted but nevertheless enjoyable 2020 season. Now, with less than a month until the 2021 calendar kicks off in Bahrain, there is no shortage of things to get excited about. Seeing Aussie Daniel Ricciardo and Brit Lando Norris team up together for McClaren has many frothing at the bit; equally the new series of Netflix’s Born to Drive is bound to fire up our engines; but naturally it’s the timepieces planted on the drivers’ wrist come podium time that really have us on the edge of our seats.
Our resident petrolhead Fergus Nash has given you an extensive rundown of what replica watches to expect to see in F1 in 2021, but for watch enthusiasts in the UK only, there’s a late addition to the grid.
Indeed, after a speedy announcement of a different kind tying the knot with Porsche last month, TAG Heuer replica has now unveiled a special edition Formula 1 piece in line with the chequered flags being waved in Bahrain (quite literally when you see the dial). Considering a steel case fake TAG Heuer Formula 1 is the first watch I ever owned (1996 model), you’ll forgive me for having something of a waltz at my desk on receiving such stellar quartz news.
First impressions are that yellow dominates the circumference of the dial – in a go-faster, energetic, I-can-feel-the-horsepower way – with the carbon fibre-textured dial racier still. This quartz-charged chronograph is made from fine-brushed steel to give it a robust finish and at 43mm, the case sits nice and prominent on the wrist. For those of you who genuinely plan to use the cheap copy watch for driving around in fast cars, the three-row bracelet includes a drivers’ extension, which sounds a bit like when a driver has a drive-through penalty, but is actually just a nice touch to fit the Swiss movement replica TAG Heuer watch over any racing suit you might be wearing.
Add a few more souped-up yellow details and the white Super-LumiNova ® coating the hands and indexes, and you have yourself a nice, sporting number to add to your collection.

De Beers and its diamonds are entering cyberspace.
This month, De Beers Diamond Jewelers, the joint venture between South African mining firm De Beers SA and luxury conglomerate LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton, is launching e-commerce on its Web site at debeers.com.
E-commerce will be exclusive to the U.S. market and will offer diamond jewelry ranging from a $500 gold pendant detailed with diamonds to a $30,000 engagement ring with a 1.5-carat center stone flanked by two side stones. Prices will climb higher than $30,000 in the future.
The launch comes at a time when luxury goods, namely designer apparel, fine jewelry and handbags, are selling strongly on the Internet on sites such as neimanmarcus.com, Net-a-porter.com and eBay.
The jewelry Web site Bluenile.com has gotten lots of attention and considers itself the largest online retailer of certified diamonds, while smaller Web sites such as Angara.com specialize in novelty diamond jewelry, such as a bib necklace featuring fancy yellow and white diamonds, that climbs well over the $100,000 mark.
Many such sites say engagement rings are top sellers and that consumers can save up to 40 percent shopping online rather than purchasing in a brick-and-mortar store.
De Beers’ site offers no such discount incentive, but rather access to the firm’s branded jewelry in cities where it doesn’t have stores.
The six-year-old brand opened its first store in the U.S. in 2005, on Fifth Avenue in Manhattan. Stores in Beverly Hills and Las Vegas soon followed. Additional units are on deck, including a 1,353-square-foot shop in Houston set to open in August, and a 4,700-square-foot store in San Francisco and a 2,082-square-foot location in Washington, both planned for November. The firm has 14 stores outside the U.S., including locations in London, Paris and Dubai and expects to have 28 to 30 stores internationally by the year’s end. But it’s the middle of the country that chief executive Guy Leymarie anticipates will drive the site’s sales thanks to the brand’s cachet.
“Today, e-commerce is clearly the new route [for selling], including goods like diamonds,” said Leymarie. “It suits a new concept, a new behavior. [We’re] not only [offering] entry prices, but also the very high end.”
While competitors like Tiffany & Co. and Cartier have extensive Web sites where consumers can view anything from watches to jewelry, diamond engagement rings are only sold in-store. Cartier doesn’t sell online, but Tiffany does.
Leymarie said the firm started its e-commerce effort with the U.S. because the country consumes the most diamonds of any other place on the planet.
De Beers’ designer collections, Talisman and Radiance, will also be sold on the site, in addition to classic styles like tennis bracelets and studs.
“The products that we put on the site are what we consider products that are easy to buy,” he added. “For more complex stones or pieces that require more explanation, we’ll invite [consumers] to the store for a more complete retail experience so they can benefit from the knowledge of our staff.”
All diamonds on the site include De Beers Passport, guaranteeing the provenance of the diamond.
Leymarie declined to give sales projections for the e-commerce business, but said branding is key to the initiative.
“When you think diamonds, you think of De Beers,” he said. “Our heritage is not denied. We have a brand name with a very high level of awareness.”
Some industry watchers said offering its goods online could take brand awareness to an even higher level.
“Obviously, e-commerce has exploded in a variety of different areas. Some had strong fits and starts,” said Andrew Jassin, managing director of Jassin & O’Rourke Group, a New York industry consulting firm. “Being that De Beers is a cornerstone of the diamond business and the luxury business, there’s a possibility that they may be more successful than others. [However], the fact is that most customers accustomed to buying luxury jewelry purchases need to feel [the products] and see them to complete the purchase. To a large degree, De Beers in this country is not so well-known. The Web-based business can improve the knowledge of who De Beers is.”
Arnold Aronson, managing director of retail strategies at Kurt Salmon Associates, said by democratizing diamond engagement rings via selling online, De Beers has the opportunity to grow its business significantly.
The company has been trying to expand so that it is not only known for diamond stud earrings and engagement rings, but as a diamond jewelry house. Hollywood jeweler Neil Lane designs a collection for the firm and British jeweler Stephen Webster, who is known for his sense of rock ‘n’ roll and bedecking Madonna in his Gothic-inspired pieces, has just signed on to do a men’s line.
In October, De Beers is slated to introduce a watch line in conjunction with a Swiss manufacturer. The watches will be within the Talisman collection, which focuses on rough, uncut diamonds.

Being a life long BMW fan, I could not have been more excited when I learned that I would have a chance to test the new for 2013 BMW 328i.
I was even more excited when the car was delivered and I realized not only did I get a beautiful Alpine White sedan, but it the high performance M-Sport package included on it.
Outside, the 2013 sedan we drove looked very contemporary with its crisp lines and smooth sheetmetal.
We liked the new hood design and the M-Package added 18- sport wheels and summer tire as well as the raised and sculpted rear deck lid.
Inside, the modern and finely detailed features continue with Red and Black Dakota Coral leather seats firmly bolstered and multi-adjustable, split fold down rear seats, automatic climate control, a three spoke multi function heated steering wheel, a 6.5 inch full color flat screen display and BMW's iDrive electronic interface which we're finally getting use to and actually appreciate.
Aside from the styling updates last year, the big news this year is a new powerplant in sedan and wagon versions.
Powering those models is a 2.0 liter turbocharged four cylinder that produces 240 horsepower and 255 pound-feet of torque to either the rear or all four wheels.
The power is an increase and is routed to the drive wheels through either a six speed manual or eight speed automatic transmission with auto start features.
With the manual transmission and the rear drive, zero to sixty estimates are 5.9 seconds and EPA mileage estimates improve to 23 city and 33 highway.
One of the reasons we've always liked BMW's is that they seem to strike the perfect balance between sport and luxury and much of that comes down to the handling.
an all new chassis provides a smoother yet more responsive ride than it's predecessor using fully independent suspensions paired with stability and traction control programs and with the M package, sharper suspension settings and a lower ride height.
'The entire set up works flawlessly to deliver outstanding directional control with an athletic and responsive ride quality.
Safety features are abundant with ABS braking programs, head side and front airbags and a five star government crash rating.
With everything to like about the new 328, it's no wonder it's the most popular, best selling and overall best selling sports sedan in automotive history.
Pricing on our tester was $36,850 before options and $47,295 after.

So this is my first Retro Gaming haul for the past 2 months, there isn't loads but some months it may only be a few things depending on my finds but i've collected quite a few buys for this one..
NES Advantage controller - official
Firstly is this controller. I never actually owned one of these growing up but it just reminded me of being in the arcade at the seaside when i was younger so it was a bit down to nostalgia that i picked this up. I found this on a Retro Gaming Facebook page, it's in really good condition too and i picked it up for £12 (including postage) which i didn't think was too bad. It's taking a bit of getting used to and it's a little bit creaky but it's great for wrestling and battling games
Golf - NES Classics - Free
This is another game that i actually never had before but the guy i bought the controller (above) off asked if i wanted this with it for free which was a bonus so i just said yes because for free, you can't really argue! Compared to the up-to-date Tiger Woods games it obviously leaves a lot to be desired and actually getting hole-in-ones proves near to impossible but the bad graphics just add to the fun of playing the NES and it's a good laugh for a while. Although don't play it for over an hour as your patience does start to wear a little thin..
McDonaldland - £3.50 Ebay bargain
This was one of my all-time favourites as a child and i would spend hours playing the levels but i have never completed it! As a 5 year old child i don't think i had the patience but now it is definitely one of my gaming aims. It is perfect nostalgia of my local McDonald's when i was little where the walls were decorated with Ronald, Grimace and The Hamburgalar! He was my favourite the aim of this game being to eventually find him and get him to give back what he's stolen just seems pretty awesome in my head! I can't wait to start playing this again!
Paperboy - £9.99 Market Stall
This is a game that i remember frequently watching my dad and brother playing but not one that i remember playing much myself. The aim is really simple, look at the street line up, remember the houses sequence and throw the papers to the correct houses but it's not as simple as it sounds. It's great fun though and perfect when you just wanna have a quick relaxing bit of gaming if you've got some spare time on your hands. One of my local market's in West Bromwich has a stall run by a guy that sells games of all types! He also does repairs on all consoles and you can always find a gem or two! (Console King Repairs - you can find him here) If you're local then i'd definitely recommend a trip as he is really genuine. This is the only place that i could find Paperboy and there were only 2-3 overpriced listings on ebay so i think i got lucky with this one.
Lolo 2 - £7 Car Boot/Market
Car Boots can be very hit and miss with retro gaming but recently whilst scouring the internet and coming across a facebook page that sells retro games, i found that one of the sellers was going to start doing a stall at a local car boot/market around 15 minutes walk away. So i popped up there on his first day to see if i could grab anything good - i am so glad i went! Lolo 2 was definitely one of the more infuriating games i have played but it's really fun and it's one of those games that you really get stuck into. The aim is simple, to get to the exit on each level, but to get there you have to avoid enemies and clear a pathway by pushing things to get through but you really have to forward think as you can't pull them back. I'd been looking for it for a while so had to grab this and for £7 i thought it was a fair enough price, plus i didn't have to wait for internet delivery!
Shadow Warriors Ninja Gaiden - £10 Car Boot/Market
This game has definitely been my favourite buy and one i didn't think i'd get, not yet anyway. If you look on eBay this game is going for around £20+ and that's without the manual (which is in near perfect condition!). This is my favourite ever NES game to date and i can't wait to play it all the way through again. The game play is pretty simple and the bosses are actually incredibly easy but it all adds to the fun and it's quite a laid back, fighting-style game that is full of arcade nostalgia and let's face it, pretty bad graphics! But what can you expect from a game from 1991? This was definitely a gem of a find and when the guy on the stall said he had it i was expected to pay around £20 for it so when he said £10 i immediately showed him the money! I really think he probably missed a trick on this one but i certainly got lucky.
Pokemon Blue, GBC - £10 eBay
So lately i have al;so been getting back into retro Pokemon games. I haven't yet played the latest addition in the series (X & Y) but i am hoping to pick them up soon. I am a pokemon lover and as i already have yellow and red in the collection, the only one missing was Pokemon Blue along with it's exclusive pokemon to complete the set. I think the price paid for this was definitely about right and it's in great condition so i can't wait to go on my own pokemon adventure once again!
I hope you enjoyed seeing my Retro Gaming Buys!
We'll see what i pick up this month..

The article describes different academic libraries' responses to the pandemic through their websites, as their site administrators reflect on the changes that occurred during an evolving emergency situation and an anything but-normal start to a new academic year. It mentions that the situation in the New York City area was rapidly deteriorating, as an increasing number of COVID-19 cases were confirmed.

The IRGC unleashed a barrage of rockets and laser-guided cannon shells on terrorists’ positions, bases and training camps along the borders of the Iraqi Kurdistan region as of Wednesday, July 10, 2019.
A major feature of the combat operation was the use of laser-guided cannon rounds.
Krasnopol shells are a kind of projectile fired at targets using laser technology. It seems this kind of ammunition was used for the first time in the IRGC’s recent assault on terrorists.
The IRGC released footage showing cannon shells hitting terrorist targets with pinpoint accuracy.
Earlier, IRGC commanders as well as other military top brass of the Iranian Armed Forces had spoken of precision-guided cannon shells as well as other types of guided munitions being used in different military exercises.
“Our strategy is to use each bomb or missile to hit a single target, and today we are seeing our cannon systems using laser-guided Krasnopol shells can hit targets with pinpoint accuracy, and we are moving toward this doctrine, i.e., every shell, bomb or missile for a single target,” IRGC’s Ground Force Commander Brigadier General Mohammad Pakpour had said before.
Guided cannon rounds called Basir had earlier been unveiled. Basir is controlled with canards installed on the body of the shell. Canards open after rounds are fired and guide the shell until it hits the target.
Using guided munitions one can not only save time and cost and prevent the waste of so many shells, but also increase the Armed Forces’ combat and tactical capabilities.

Robert Gilmour to drive second DPE Motorsport Alfa Romeo
The DPE Motorsport outfit has announced that Robert Gilmour will join the team for the remainder of the TCR UK series season, starting with the next round of the campaign at Brands Hatch.
Gilmour will fill the seat vacated by BTCC race winner Aiden Moffat and ensures that both Alfa Romeo Giulietta TCR cars will continue to compete this year.
The 26-year-old will be making his debut in TCR machinery when he lines up alongside Derek Palmer but has previous experience of the Alfa Romeo following a test during the winter.
“I was one of the three drivers who originally went over to Italy to test the car, so I’ve been part of the project from the very start,” he said. “I’ve watched the TCR International Series grow and I was with Derek at Silverstone and Knockhill, so I know all about TCR UK and where it’s going. I think it’s very well-run and has good coverage, so I can’t wait to be a part of it all.”
Team principal Derek Palmer Snr said he was pleased to be able to confirm that both cars would be on track for the next round of the year.
“I believe strongly that TCR is the future of touring car racing and so I’m delighted that Robert is joining us for the rest of the season,” he said. “Anyone involved in motor racing will know all about Alfa Romeo’s racing DNA and I think this little car has a huge future; we’ll be continuing to work to develop the car with Derek and Robert.”


Man accused of manslaughter takes plea deal Tuesday
It's been nine months since the death of Matthew Johnson, and on Tuesday, the man accused in his death took a plead deal and pleaded no contest to the charges.
Matthew Arnold, 31, was arrested Dec. 7 in connection with the homicide and charged with second-degree murder,.
Tuesday morning in court, Arnold pleaded no contest to manslaughter and possession of a weapon by a prohibited person and the state agreed to drop the second weapons charge.
Family members of Matthew Johnson, the 32-year-old man killed in a shooting Wednesday, said he had a drug problem but didn't deserve to die.
Matthew Arnold, the 31-year-old man arrested Thursday in connection with the homicide and charged with second-degree murder, once saved Johnson's life, according to Rebecca Lewis, Johnson's mother.
"It's horrible," she said of Johnson, who was shot and killed near 48th and Y. "I buried my mom and I never felt this pain until I buried my son."
Arnold and Johnson were addicted to drugs, Lewis said.
"We want justice for him," a family member said. "We want people to know he had a disease and he had a problem, but he was very much loved."
Two years ago, Lewis said, Johnson was stabbed in the heart and Arnold saved his life. Family members attempted to get Johnson help for his addiction, but it never worked, she added.
"I tried to fight," Rebecca Lewis said. "I tried hard love when he got stabbed. That didn't help. He just got stabbed and a month later, he went back to the same thing."
Family members hope his story can change the life of someone else affected by drug addiction.
"There's more to life than drugs and the value of life means more than anything," his sister, Michelle Lewis, said. "I have to bury my brother."
A GoFundMe page has been set up on his behalf: https://www.gofundme.com/beloved-matthew-eric-johnson.

'Remembering Bungo: An appreciation of the life and career of Field Marshall Lord Byng of Vimy
Field Marshal Lord Byng of Vimy is a largely forgotten figure of the First World War. He has had only one biographer and frustratingly for historians, he had his private papers destroyed after his death in 1935.
This talk is intended to raise awareness of this commander whom historian Nikolas Gardner remarked, made a significant contribution to victory in 1918. The talk will examine Byng’s major involvement in the battles of Vimy Ridge and Cambrai in 1917 and his response to the Ludendorff Offensive, and 100 Days campaign in 1918. His background and early life will be looked at and there will be reference to his formidable record of public service from 1918 until his death.
Lord Byng should not remain forgotten any longer, especially as in April 2017 we commemorate his greatest military achievement, the victory of his Canadian Corps at the Battle of Vimy Ridge.
