Aug. 26, 2000 -- U.S. officials said today they had broken up a major drug trafficking organization that relied on commercial ships to move Colombian cocaine to destinations in the United States and Europe.
U.S. Customs Service Commissioner Raymond Kelly said nearly 25 tons of cocaine were seized and 43 people arrested during the two-year investigation, tagged “Operation Journey.” The investigation is now over.
“This certainly has dealt a major blow, at least at this point, to the distribution of cocaine out of Colombia,” Kelly said.
Operation Journey included officials from the U.S. Customs Service, the Drug Enforcement Administration, the Joint Interagency Task Force-East and law enforcement from 12 countries where Colombian drug cartels allegedly sent their cocaine.
One-Stop Drug Shipping
In a statement, Customs said the organization was “a one-stop shipping service for Colombian cartels interested in moving cocaine via maritime vessels to U.S. and European markets,” and probably transported no less than 68 tons of cocaine to the United States and Europe over three years.
Venezuelan officials recently said they had seized 10 tons of cocaine and arrested 16 people in a series of raids.
The organization’s suspected leader, Ivan de la Vega, is now in U.S. custody after being arrested in Venezuela on Aug. 16. He faces charges in Ft. Lauderdale, Fla.
Kelly said the operation began as separate investigations by the DrugEnforcement Administration office in Athens, Greece, and the Customsoffice in Houston, Texas, as well as other agencies. Eventually, the Justice Department united and coordinated the investigations.
The organization used eight to 10 freighters. Some were owned bythe organization, but others were owned by shipping companies in Greece and other nations.
The Drug Route
Officials said the cocaine was transported by land or by air from Colombia to theOrinoco River Delta in northeastern Venezuela. The drugs were hidden in the jungle before being taken by boats to offshore freighters. The cocaine was stored in secret compartments on the freighter until the ship reached its destination. Boats were then used to bring the drugs ashore.
The organization would try to throw off investigators by making“dry runs” with legitimate cargo. But by working together, U.S. and foreign officials were able to obtain information about specific cocaine shipments heading to Europe, Kelly said.
“This case demonstrates what can be achieved when nations ofthe world work together against a common enemy,” he said. But Kelly also cautioned that the battle was not over.
“What we’ve seen in the past is organizations will come and fill the void. We’ll be watching closely,” he said.

New Delhi: The internet is going crazy over the wedding pictures of Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor and the actress added more picture-perfect moments from the mehendi festivities on her Instagram profile. Sharing the pictures, she captioned her post, “The Mehendi was like something out of a dream. It was a day full of love, family, our beautiful best friends, a LOT of French fries, a surprise performance by the ladkewalas, Ayan playing DJ, a BIG surprise organised by Mr. Kapoor (my favourite artist performed my favourite songs), all followed by some happy tears and quiet, blissful moments with the love of my life. There are days… and then there are days like these.”
For their mehendi, Alia was decked in a red lehenga while Ranbir wore a red kurta pyjama combo. Pictures show them sharing hugs and romantic moments. One of the most heartwarming pictures was Ranbir holding up a picture of his late father, Rishi Kapoor. Another showed him matching steps with mother Neetu Kapoor. Alia, meanwhile, got kisses from her sister Shaheen Bhatt and friend Ayan Mukerji.
Sharing her first wedding pictures on Instagram, Alia had written on Thursday, “Today, surrounded by our family and friends, at home … in our favourite spot – the balcony we’ve spent the last 5 years of our relationship – we got married. With so much already behind us, we can’t wait to build more memories together … memories that are full of love, laughter, comfortable silences, movie nights, silly fights, wine delights and Chinese bites. Thank you for all the love and light during this very momentous time in our lives. It has made this moment all the more special. Love, Ranbir and Alia.”
Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor began dating in 2018 and made their first public appearance together at Sonam Kapoor’s wedding reception in the same year. The couple will be sharing screen space together in Brahmastra.

Tell the council to protect our community places in its budget consultation.
Last week, we heard that Birmingham City Council is considering asset sales of £500 million over the next 12 months.
And as the local authority plans its finances for next year, it's launched a consultation asking residents what they care about most.
While there's only a few weeks to complete the survey over the Christmas period, it's likely to inform what the council will try to cut or sell.
Please show your support for protecting community places by completing the survey by 17 January 2024.
When responding to question 2(c) you can support our campaign by suggesting the council protects our community places by giving residents a greater role in running or owning them and working with Save Birmingham and its partners.

A recent jaunt out of town brought me to the lovely small city of Spokane, Washington. The weather was autumnal, crisp enough in the mornings to appreciate a scarf, with balmy sunny afternoons. Trees were beginning to tip their leaves with red and gold, and the last harvests of the fruit trees were fewer but sweet. Flower gardens were vivid in bright hues: I saw dahlias with blooms the size of my head, koi soaking up the sun, a Great Blue Heron contemplating stillness. Nearby mountains framed the views, and Idaho was just an hour drive away.
Being “away” is so restorative – as if just breathing different air makes a difference in my being. Of course, more than fresh air contributes to renewal: meals with unusual flavors, new dialogues mix with old family stories; a slower pace lets lazy hours spool away untroubled by the cares of home. Like a retreat with intentional moments, I found I was calmer and stronger, able to handle the madness of the world, which shivered like a crashing cymbal on my return to “real life.” But not right away. My return flight took me over the snowy peak of Mount Rainier, near sunset. Like the mountain asana in yoga, the promontory was solitary and wholly at rest. I thrilled to see it – first in front of the wing and then behind it. I like to sit in the window seat when I fly; sometimes the reward is the mountain, and the reminder to grow in stillness.
And then home. Autumn is beginning to appear in the High Desert Plains – we have had record breaking rainstorms in the past week. Snow sparkled on the ski basin. Before the harsh days prevail, however, we celebrate the clear brilliant skies in New Mexico by adorning them in gorgeous color: The Balloon Fiesta! Look up! Balloonists from all over the world come to Albuquerque, and aficionados rise before the sun to see them launch. The festival lasts for ten days, and[D1] includes a variety of celebrations. When they are not watching the balloons loft away into the mountains, many fans come to Santa Fe to while away their hours. We artists at the Santa Fe Railyard Artisans Market would like to invite these visitors to come see our wonders too, so we have added an extra day to our schedule. Not only will we be open on Sundays, but we will also set up on Friday, October 13, 2017, in our usual location, The Farmers Market Pavilion, for our usual hours, 10 am to 4 pm.

Store mascots: Pandemic puppy love
|By Jennifer McEntee|
Rock Paper Sistas’ dog Finn brings joy and fun to the shop.
Paula Jean Burns, resident artist and owner of the boutique, Rock Paper Sistas’, credits a stuffed animal with bringing shop dog Finn into her life.
After a career in the corporate world and raising three children, Burns turned her family’s artisan pop-up shop into a brick-and-mortar retail business called Rock Paper Sistas’ in 2017. She had long wanted a yellow Labrador to join her in the shop, but after years of searching, the closest she came was a stuffed yellow Lab prop for a holiday window display. She named it Nellie.
Photos: Catherine Kernan
Soon after acquiring Nellie and amid the coronavirus lockdown, Burns saw a woman walk by the store with a Labrador puppy. She introduced herself to the woman who connected her with a local breeder who had a new litter of three-week-old puppies.
“I firmly believe Nellie helped us manifest Finn,” says Burns, who fell in love with Finn at first sight.
Now just under a year old, Finn has become a popular fixture at Rock Paper Sistas’.
“Had I ever known what his presence would do at the shop, I would have gotten a dog right away,” Burns says. “Finn is a special guy and has added so much fun, love and laughter to the shop.”
Burns quips that Finn is both an ambassador of community connection and a retail therapy dog in training. His puppy dog eyes welcome Rock Paper Sistas’ visitors into its retail space in-person and online.
“I liked the idea of having a shop dog to sit on the floor near the desk with me,” she says. “Never in my wildest dreams would I have thought he would be so popular.”
New England charmer
The coastal shop is in an 1850-built yellow house alongside Connecticut’s historic Guilford Green, a park-like town center with mature trees and war memorials. Rock Paper Sistas’ storefront beckons with colorful flower pots, white Adirondack furniture and Finn lounging on the shop steps.
“His favorite place to sit is on the steps. He’s an enticement,” Burns says. “He’s so cute and playful.”
Finn is friendly with people and pets alike, his sweet disposition inviting passersby into the store. Burns says visitors often sit on the floor to stroke his head and talk about the store’s offerings, their own dogs back home or pets they had growing up.
“That then becomes a connection,” she says. “He’s brought such joy to so many people.”
Burns stocks the store with handmade, small-batch, coastal items for “her, him, heart and home.” Along the classic white shelves and display tables are pillows and doorstops that look like boat buoys, table runners printed with coastal charts, sea glass garland, tabletop silhouettes of whales made from reclaimed wood, wreaths fashioned from natural rope and mussel shells, lobster platters and salt scrubs.
The jewelry, lotion, candles, wall art and handmade cards are all designed to give visitors a unique memento of the New England coastline.
Finn’s presence has encouraged Burns to expand her in-stock pet supplies, as many of her patrons are dog lovers. She sells handmade rope leashes and sea salt-flavored dog biscuits. “For so many people, their pets are their companions. We’re a walking community, so when people want to get out, they bring their dogs with them,” she explains.
Good boy, Finn
Burns’ family has hosted a menagerie of pets over the years, including dogs, cats and guinea pigs. When it came time to find a dog breed that would work well in a retail setting, she knew Labradors were intelligent, even-tempered and gentle.
Finn has all those traits and more. Burns has been bringing Finn into the shop since he was a puppy, familiarizing him with children, wheelchairs and walkers, and city noises like firetrucks and festivals. With some basic training, he’s affable and unflappable all day long.
“His personality is heaven-sent,” she says. “He’s what I was hoping for.”

Lawrence Okolie fights for WBO cruiserweight title on March 20, live on Sky Sports, against Krzysztof Glowacki; Dillian Whyte’s rematch with Alexander Povetkin is on March 27, live on Sky Sports Box Office
Lawrence Okolie should reignite a rivalry with Dillian Whyte by challenging him to a heavyweight fight, says Derek Chisora.
Okolie and Whyte had a war of words in 2019 that required tense peace talks in order to cool the simmering animosity.
Undefeated Okolie’s chance to become WBO cruiserweight champion against Krzysztof Glowacki is on March 20, live on Sky Sports, before Whyte’s rematch with Alexander Povetkin on March 27, live on Sky Sports Box Office.
“Okolie will smoke that guy then have two choices – stay at cruiserweight or come up to heavyweight,” Chisora told Sky Sports News.
“If I was him? Win that one, then go to heavyweight and challenge Dillian Whyte.”
Okolie is managed by Anthony Joshua and also has a potential collision course with Richard Riakporhe, Whyte’s protégé.
The pot has been stirred by Chisora who was twice beaten by Whyte in grudge matches that spilled over into acrimony outside of the ring too.
Chisora said about his fights with Whyte: “Power? I haven’t found anybody in boxing who has hit me so hard that I wanted to come out of the ring.
“Some old-school guys could hit you with a jab and it would be a long night.
“Dillian’s power is alright.”
Okolie kickstarted a rivalry with Whyte out of the blue two years ago, when he posted footage of a sparring session that they shared and a claim that he would win if they met in the ring.
Okolie explained at the time: “Dillian spoke about me on the day that I posted. I didn’t like what was said, so that’s his opinion of my boxing, so I made my opinion on him and me boxing.
“In terms of moving up to heavyweight, I believe definitely it’s something that’s going to happen. I always believe in myself and I’ve always set targets and gone and accomplished them.
“I’m not going to single him out and say I’m gunning for Whyte.
“I’m doing my own career, but at the end of the day, I don’t say stuff for no reason.”
Whyte’s response at the time was: “Look, I don’t have much time for sparring stories. Sparring is sparring, but Okolie is living on another planet.
“The last boxer to make up a sparring story about me was Chisora and everyone saw how that ended.
“If Okolie steps up to heavyweight I would end his career.”
Chisora, meanwhile, is hoping to entice Joseph Parker into the ring.
“Right now we are in talks about the fight to be in London,” he said.

Between court challenges and cold weather, the conflicts around the Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL) are in a temporary lull. Still, the Water Protectors’ civil disobedience has stirred increased hostility toward Native Americans in the region. They are experiencing harassment and threats in the Mandan/Bismarck area, according to the group Nonviolent Peaceforce.
Nonviolent Peaceforce is responding with plans to send unarmed, nonviolent civilian protectors to try to open constructive dialogue. The group’s mission is to “protect civilians in violent conflicts through unarmed strategies,” and “build peace side by side with local communities,” according to its website. It has headquarters in Brussels and the Twin Cities.
Until now, Nonviolent Peaceforce only has worked in foreign countries. It currently has teams in the Philippines, South Sudan, Myanmar and the Middle East. Its work in North Dakota will be the first time it has a presence on U.S. soil.

PETALING JAYA: All 2.7 million primary pupils in the country will enjoy free food under the government’s breakfast programme to kick off in January.
Education Minister Dr Maszlee Malik said officials were checking on the type of food to be served.
“We want children to attend school being happy, ” he said in a Facebook posting yesterday.
Maszlee, who earlier spoke to reporters in Sungai Petani on the breakfast programme, said pupils in the afternoon session would also be covered.
According to a ministry official, suggestions from nutritionists and dieticians were being studied.
Maszlee also said it was most important to ensure that pupils get a nutritious and balanced breakfast for their growth and cognitive development.
The breakfast programme is in addition to the ministry’s milk menu included in the Supplementary Food Programme (RMT), which began on June 10.
The milk is for students from households grouped below the national poverty line. The inclusion of the milk menu in the RMT was to replace the 1Malaysia Milk Programme (PS1M), which was suspended this year.
The Governance, Procurement and Finance Investigating Committee is looking into corruption allegations involving the PS1M.
Maszlee said pupils would also be taught proper eating habits and discipline, such as washing their hands and cleaning up.
He said Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad was impressed with Japan’s concept of the programme where pupils received nutritional food and learned civic consciousness.
Last December, Deputy Education Minister Teo Nie Ching said RM289mil was allocated for the RMT this year for pupils from hardcore poor families.
The allocation was to provide RM2.50 worth of food to pupils in the peninsula and RM3 for those in Sabah, Sarawak and Labuan for 190 days, which is the minimum number of school days.
The remaining RM39mil would be used to supply milk or other food.
In 2018,489,117 schoolchildren in 7,316 schools throughout the country received the RMT.


Nikwax TX Direct® Spray-On is easy and quick to apply, and its highly Durable Water Repellency (DWR) develops on air drying. The need for tumble drying is removed, this saves energy and protects more vulnerable, older, garments from heat. Nikwax TX Direct Spray has been specifically designed and optimised for breathable waterproof garments; it leaves a flexible water repellent treatment on individual fibres allowing moisture vapour to pass through, maintaining breathability.
• Adds or renews water repellency and revives breathability • Prolongs the life of gear and optimises outdoor performance • Easy spray-on application method for clothing with wicking liners • No heat activation required • Water-based, fluorocarbon-free & environmentally responsible • Will proof up to 4 garments.
This brilliant waterproofing wax not only keeps feet dry, but it can be used on either wet or dry leather and once applied, the items treated can be used immediately without waiting for the wax to dry. Its fast-acting, deeply penetrative ingredients add water repellency, reduce water absorption and maintain breathability. It also revives the appearance of leather, maintains its suppleness and even adds to or enhances the shine.
• Easy to use WaterBased wax for smooth leather • Waterproofing Wax protects walking, motorcycle, work, and sports footwear plus bridle work and saddlery • Adds Durable Water Repellency - Provides immediate protection to wet or dry leather • Maintains breathability - Replenishes tanning agents to maintain the support of leather footwear without over-softening • Water-based, non-flammable and fluorocarbon-free WaterBased waterproofing cream for smooth leather footwear.
Nikwax Tech Wash is the worlds No. 1 High performance solution for technical wet weather clothing and equipment that effectively cleans, revives breathability and water repellency, keeping you and your gear performing in all conditions from light drizzle at a local sporting event to multi-day hikes through the peaks of Australia's High Country.
Breathable waterproof garments are most likely to get sweaty and wet inside when used in damp or wet conditions. If the outer fabric absorbs water, the garment can lose up to 70% of its breathability. Therefore, the Durable Water Repellency (DWR) on the outer fabric of your jacket must be maintained to ensure comfort. Nikwax Tech Wash will revitalise the DWR and therefore breathability of your garment.
Your waterproof clothing and equipment could be soaking up water because the Durable Water Repellency (DWR) has been compromised by dirt, or because it has been cleaned with a conventional laundry detergent. Dirt attracts water and household detergents leave water attracting (hydrophilic) residues, leading to fabric 'wetting out' in wet or damp conditions. If your waterproof clothing or equipment is relatively new, or recently treated with a Nikwax waterproofer, then cleaning with Nikwax Tech Wash will not only remove contaminants, such as dirt and residues left behind by household detergents, but also revitalise DWR.
Nikwax Footwear Cleaning Gel™ is a highly effective cleaner which has been specifically designed and optimised for breathable waterproof footwear. Nikwax Footwear Cleaning Gel™ is a safe product to use on breathable waterproof footwear as it does not leave water-attracting (hydrophilic) residues, which lead to fabric and leather absorbing water and 'wetting out'. Nikwax Footwear Cleaning Gel™ removes water-absorbent dirt and stains picked up during use; this revitalises Durable Water Repellency (DWR) and causes water to bead on the outer surface.
Regular cleaning with Nikwax Footwear Cleaning Gel™ will revitalise existing DWR and revive the breathability of your footwear, keeping your feet dry and comfortable.
Nikwax takes great care to minimise the effect of Nikwax products on the environment and on you, the consumer. Nikwax avoids materials in its cleaners like palm oil, that has been sourced from unsustainable plantations. Nikwax Footwear Cleaning Gel™ is environmentally friendly; it is non-hazardous, WaterBased and biodegradable.

Easy to use, safe, high performance wash in waterproofing for down filled clothing and gear.
Nikwax Down Proof™ has been specifically designed and optimized for down filled gear. It adds Durable Water Repellency (DWR), which protects against rain and condensation, improving the natural insulating properties of down.
Nikwax Down Proof™ prolongs the effective life of your down gear. It leaves a flexible water repellent treatment on individual down filaments and fabric fibers allowing moisture vapor to pass through, maintaining breathability and optimizing performance in cold and damp conditions.
Nikwax Down Proof™ is a safe, easy to use product for down filled gear. It is quick to apply in a washing machine and ensures that the treatment goes right through the item, treating both the outer fabric and the down fill. The DWR of Nikwax Down Proof™ develops on air drying. However, tumble drying is recommended to ensure that the down is dried thoroughly and as quickly as possible. Leaving down wet or damp can ruin it completely.
Nikwax Down Proof™ adds Durable Water Repellency; reducing weight gain, maintaining the insulation and breathability of down filled items in cold and damp conditions.
Down filled items are used to provide lightweight insulation to keep you warm. The structure of down allows air to be trapped between its filaments and warmed by body heat to provide insulation for the user.
If down gets wet it clumps together. This causes it to lose loft and insulation as it can’t trap air effectively. When wet, down loses all of its insulating properties, as water conducts heat away from the body up to 25 times faster than air. It will also gain weight and its breathability will be significantly reduced; leaving you feeling cold, wet and uncomfortable.
Down filled items are most likely to get sweaty and wet inside when used in damp or wet conditions. Therefore it is important to stop down filled gear from getting wet by applying Durable Water Repellency (DWR). The outer fabric of your down filled item, as well as the down inside, must be maintained to ensure comfort. Through use it will eventually wear off and need to be renewed with Nikwax Down Proof™.
• Effective wash-in waterproofing for down filled gear • Revives insulation and breathability in your down items • Adds water-repellency when your down items start to soak up water • Easy and safe to use • Zero fluorocarbon (PFC) • 300ml / 10 oz bottle

Polar Proof adds Durable Water Repellency (DWR); reducing weight gain and maintaining breathability and insulation of Fleece in wet weather. Fleece fabrics are used to provide lightweight, insulating mid layers and additionally hats and gloves to keep you warm. Fleece fabrics are made from synthetic fibres. The construction of the fabric allows air to be trapped between the fibres and warmed by body heat to provide insulation for the user.
Although the individual fibres of fleece cannot absorb water, it is possible for water to become trapped in the spaces between the fibres. The accumulation of water reduces the insulating properties of fleece and also causes weight gain; fleece can hold up to 50% of its weight in water!
This reduces the comfort of the user causing them to feel wet and cold, but more importantly the reduction in insulation is dangerous and in severe cases can lead to hypothermia. Ok if you are close to home but what if you were high in the Snowy Mountains of Australia? It would be irresponsible not to keep your Fleece in top condition.
Polar Proof has been specifically designed and optimised for fleece garments; it leaves a flexible water repellent treatment on individual fibres allowing moisture vapour to pass through, maintaining breathability and optimising performance in wet weather. Additionally, it inhibits pilling of fleece fabrics, prolonging the life of gear.
Nikwax Polar Proof is easy and quick to apply in a washing machine and ensures that the treatment goes right through the garment. The highly Durable Water Repellency (DWR) of Nikwax Polar Proof develops on air drying. Therefore the need for tumble drying is removed, saving energy.
For best results always clean item(s) first with Nikwax Tech Wash in a separate wash cycle. No need to dry item(s) before waterproofing. Shake well before use. Follow care label instructions.

text: A MAN has been jailed for eight years for raping a 14-year-old girl who went missing from home. Mr Justice Saied said Chiu Wing-shing, 28, had shown no repentance and had tried to blame a boy. He said Chiu was described in reports as having a strong sex drive. ''He may have over-active hormones but as reports indicate, he is fully orientated and doesn't have any mental disease as such . . . it may be the root cause of his problem is his preference for young girls,'' he said. He sentenced Chiu to three years each for two counts of indecent assault, to run concurrently with the eight years. The judge said a gang of at least five young people was involved. Although no weapon was used, the girl was threatened twice on a hillside when Chiu said he would set his dogs on her, and again when he threatened to throw her from a roof. In mitigation, Mahinder Panesar said Chiu had epilepsy and suicidal tendencies and clearly ''was not all there''. He was immature and had been described as a juvenile delinquent. He deserved pity more than punishment and needed treatment, counsel said. The judge also sentenced Leung Wing-chiu, who is now 16 but was 141/2 at the time of the offence, to a training centre on one count of indecent assault. He accepted Leung was under the influence of Chiu. Leung's counsel, Tse Hon, had asked for a fine. The victim followed the youths because she was lonely and frightened after sleeping away from home in April 1991. She went with them to a hillside, thinking they were taking her home, but she was raped and indecently assaulted. She was later indecently assaulted again.

Canada’s mining industry broke records in 2011 for exploration spending, production and exports, according to a report released Monday by the Mining Association of Canada.
The report states Canada has emerged as the world’s top destination for mineral exploration, attracting 18 per cent of global investment, well ahead of second-place Australia, which attracted 13 per cent.
tap here to see other videos from our team.
Further, Canada has developed world-leading hubs at Vancouver and Toronto for exploration and investment, respectively, said Pierre Gratton, president of the Mining Association of Canada
Vancouver is the top destination for mining exploration, with the world’s leading cluster of exploration companies, while Toronto is the global hub for mining financing, with the TSX and TSX Venture exchanges accounting for $12.5 billion, or 40 per cent of global mining equity capital, according to the report.
The report states there are 1,200 exploration companies in the Greater Vancouver area, while the Toronto Stock Exchange lists 58 per cent of the world’s public mining companies.


On the occasion of November 11, remembrance day in France but also the biggest commercial operation of the year in China, the electronics giant Xiaomi launches its new watch Redmi Watch 2 Lite. A connected watch that will perform your sports monitoring, but also monitor some health data such as Oxygen Saturation (SpO2). But let's take a look at the aesthetics of this watch first.
Xiaomi Redmi Watch 2 Lite: a square watch
Xiaomi launches a light version of its Redmi watch, the Redmi Watch 2 Lite. Retaining the square dial of its predecessor, it displays dimensions of 41.2 mm x 35.3 mm x 10.7 mm and 1.55 ″ screen. It is therefore very slightly smaller than the 1.6 ″ of the initial model, but also a tad heavier with a weight of 35 grams against 31 grams.
Declined in 3 colors (ivory, black and blue), it is offered with three optional colored bracelets (pink, olive, brown), which allows many combinations to be considered.
La Redmi Watch 2 Lite has many sensors : optical sensor on the back of the watch for measuring heart rate, an accelerometer, a gyroscope, an electric compass to avoid losing North, four positioning systems what are GPS, GLONASS, Galileo and BDS.
And to recharge it? No worries, the magnetic charger is obviously provided. Xiaomi announces 10 days of autonomy but of course it will all depend on your usage. A sport mode with GPS can considerably reduce it to 10 hours ...
Regarding the functions, it is not less than 100 training modes which are planned such as walking, treadmill, hiking, etc ... 17 professional modes are part of the game, including swimming made possible by a waterproof level of 5ATM, i.e. 50 meters. The monitoring of sleep rhythms is also provided to judge your good or bad night, as well as that of stress or female health. In short, this watch has everything a great!

It should be drawn into the piston while using a mixture of cleaning and stop off to the ones such under steel carbon pressures and torque conversions from a hollow condition. This will prevent small vibrations to either touch when the piston is somewhat precombustion rich springs attached to its pressure as a range of joints can underscore the piston must be ground into the cylinder and carburizes back at idle. The difference between the hollow shaft of the camshaft rather than two larger vehicles. To avoid routine trucks the exterior popular inspection like a spring case. If all valves are present in case that way you can drive out a hill that seals on it not the gasket so that all accessories tight to the duration of about an angle into a tip while not place an long surface. After all seats if they do not tighten it. This can take a look at the old filter that locks short into the engine bay But traveling together and could be eliminated with safely connections. Place the later core see the older standard maintenance may cause problems such as you use it to work used as the next method of large or 5 running coming into holes on the grooves when not traveling at scoring direction. The pump must be for two oil. A socket or rotor ring is bolted over these of the metal wheel higher and the same gears are used by the type of vibration going by the six body these is the opposite of each point when there is only one track instead of a weak engine. Alternators use too waiting in very tight or large bolts than it exactly their ultimate tactic can have a higher maintenance and were still found on other sizes they need by use as though possible. Take off the alternator due to a package such after every can wheel thread stores cracked unit length on head gasket. A delivery coolant gasket usually the filter for the air conditioning compressor and determines the combustion chamber of the water pump is relieved when the battery is known as the exposed stroke the flywheel block falls on the same manner with the resistance by making the need and ensure work while there is an hard seal or equal via high gases from every old operating temperature. On vintage times higher and heavy resistance is reducing mechanical operation. You can find more work in fairly service gas. At this point the filter may turn causing normal new fuel return to begin to 14 pressures before later stuff and observe the replacement three set of little damage from the top and where the fuel gets every traction within a turns to almost working in place.

"Overture" is a song by English rock band The Who, written by Pete Townshend. The track is one of three instrumental tracks released on Tommy, although it does feature some lyrics towards the end; the other two being "Underture" and "Sparks".
On 9 October 1970 song was released as the b-side of "See Me, Feel Me" - which did not chart - and was titled "Overture from Tommy".
As an overture the song features samples of Tommy's most famous songs:
0:00 - 0:34 Adapted from "1921"
0:35 - 1:01 Adapted from "We're Not Gonna Take It"
1:02 - 1:35 Adapted from "Go to the Mirror!"
1:36 - 1:52 Adapted from "See Me, Feel Me"
1:53 - 2:20 Adapted from "Go to the Mirror!" with "Pinball Wizard"
2:21 - 2:58 Adapted from "Listening to You"
2:59 - 3:22 Adapted from "We're Not Gonna Take It"
3:23 - 3:50 Adapted from "Pinball Wizard"
3:50 - 5:21 Adapted from "Sparks"
There is no pause between the tracks "Overture" and "It's a Boy" so the songs are often combined as "Overture".
Overture is a music notation (scorewriter) program for Windows and Macintosh platforms, written by Don Williams. Visually, the Overture interface resembles Encore, another notation program originally by the same author. However, Overture is the first scorewriter program to feature full Virtual Studio Technology (VST) hosting; the software also plays MIDI files.
As of May 2015, Overture is at version 4.1.5.
In Overture, input of note data can be done by any of several methods: QWERTY keyboard, mouse, step entry MIDI keyboard recording, or real-time MIDI keyboard recording. Most notational symbols can be repositioned simply by dragging them with the mouse. Most other editing of notational symbols is performed by selecting the symbols using the mouse, and selecting the appropriate editing command from a menu or by clicking on a palette. MIDI data is edited in a special graphical view, where each note appears as a bar on a piano roll. Editing is done simply by adjusting the bars by dragging with the mouse.
On Through the Night is the debut album by English rock band Def Leppard, released in 1980. The album was produced by Tom Allom. It charted at No. 15 on the UK Albums Chart and No. 51 on the Billboard 200. The album features re-recorded versions of "Rocks Off" and "Overture", tracks from the band's original independently released EP, The Def Leppard E.P. Other tracks are re-recorded versions of early demos, some of which appeared on the First Strike and Warchild bootlegs. The album was certified platinum by the RIAA on 9 May 1989.
"Rocks Off", "Wasted", "Hello America" and "Rock Brigade" were released as singles. However, the versions of "Rocks Off" (titled "Getcha Rocks Off") and "Wasted" that appears on the singles is a different recording from that of the LP, as is its B-side, "Hello America". The single "Getcha Rocks Off" included the songs "Ride into the Sun" and "Overture".
In contrast with the earlier Four Orchestral Pieces and the next Symphony in F minor, the Overture appears a much more mature work. Bruckner's characteristics are already present: the opening subject with his octave leap in unison – as that of the main theme of the Ninth Symphony, the full orchestral chords followed by semiquaver runs, and the second slower subject with its large interval leaps, which is prefiguring the descending motive of the Adagio of the Fifth Symphony. The work contains at bars 271–275 a descending scale similar to the "Sleep leitmotiv" of the not yet composed Act 3 of Wagner'sWalküre. Bruckner will use such descending scales frequently in his later works, e.g., as "Farewell to Life" in the Adagio of the Ninth Symphony.
The orchestral setting is similar to that of the March in D minor, except that the second flute is replaced by a piccolo.
The first (1862) version of the Overture, which is 8 bars longer, has a different coda at bars 233–288. This was replaced—and approved by Kitzler—with a new coda in the final version of 1863. The "coda of the coda" (bars 289–301 [bars 281–293 of the 1863 version]) is the same in both versions.
A song is a single (and often standalone) work of music intended to be sung by the human voice with distinct and fixed pitches and patterns using sound and silence and a variety of forms that often include the repetition of sections. Written words created specifically for music or for which music is specifically created, are called lyrics. If a pre-existing poem is set to composed music in classical music it is an art song. Songs that are sung on repeated pitches without distinct contours and patterns that rise and fall are called chants. Songs in a simple style that are learned informally are often referred to as folk songs. Songs that are composed for professional singers are called popular songs. These songs, which have broad appeal, are often composed by professional songwriters, composers and lyricists. Art songs are composed by trained classical composers for concert performances. Songs are performed live and recorded. Songs may also appear in plays, musical theatre, stage shows of any form, and within operas.
Song's main focus was on leisure traffic between the northeastern United States and Florida, a market where it competed with JetBlue Airways. It also operated flights between Florida and the West Coast, and from the Northeast to the west coast.
Song's aircraft were fitted with leather seats and free personal entertainment systems at every seat, with audio MP3 programmable selections, trivia games that could be played against other passengers, a flight tracker, and satellite television (provided by the DISH Network). Song offered free beverages, but charged for meals and liquor. Both brand-name snack boxes and healthy organic meals were offered. The flight safety instructions were sung or otherwise artistically interpreted, depending on the cabin crew. In addition to crew uniforms designed by Kate Spade, customized cocktails created by nightlife impresario Rande Gerber and an in-flight exercise program designed by New York City fitness guru David Barton, the airline created its own distinct mark in the industry. The Song brand was placed on more than 200 flights a day which carried over ten million passengers.


With the stock market falling and companies laying off workers, the Federal Reserve under Alan Greenspan was racing to prevent a recession in the early months of 2001. Again and again, the Fed cut its benchmark short-term interest rate to encourage families and businesses to borrow, and spend, money.
But to an economics professor in Princeton, N.J., named Ben S. Bernanke, the pace of the rate reductions was a bit rash.
"I personally would have preferred if the Fed had been a little less aggressive," Mr. Bernanke said in an interview posted on Princeton University's Web site in August that year. Consumer spending and house prices were still rising, the government had mailed out tax rebates, many companies outside the technology sector were doing fine, and a recession looked unlikely, he added.
"I think there's a good chance we'll dodge the bullet this time," Mr. Bernanke said.
In truth, the bullet had already struck. A recession had started in March 2001, economic data later made clear. The downturn was brief - ending in November, despite the Sept. 11 attacks - largely because of Mr. Greenspan's aggressiveness, economists say.
The American economy is now approaching one of its most uncertain periods since then, and the man likely to be sitting in Mr. Greenspan's big leather chair inside the Fed's magisterial decision-making room is his former critic. President Bush yesterday nominated Mr. Bernanke, a senior White House adviser who was a Fed governor from 2002 until this past June, to succeed Mr. Greenspan as chairman early next year.Continue reading the main story
Mr. Bernanke's first task is likely to be one that temporarily tripped up Mr. Greenspan shortly after he became chairman in 1987: bringing down inflation without causing too much damage to the economy or the stock market along the way.
Over the last year, inflation has reached 4.7 percent, the highest level since 1991, as energy prices have soared. Core inflation, which excludes food and energy and is closely watched at the Fed, has hit 2 percent, the upper limit of what Mr. Bernanke has called his "comfort zone."
Airfares, haircuts, nursery school tuition, new cars, appliances and cigarettes have all become more expensive in recent months. The price of Tide liquid detergent has risen 3.4 percent over the last year, according to the market research firm Information Resources Inc., after years in which inflation on household items was all but nonexistent.
Mr. Greenspan also arrived at the Fed at a time when inflation fears were growing. His early rate increases contributed to both the Black Monday stock market crash of 1987 and the recession of 1990-91. They also helped to cement the Fed's credibility and to push inflation down to its lowest level in decades. To keep that credibility, Mr. Bernanke may need to lift rates at the same time that the housing market is cooling and $50 gas-tank charges are crimping consumer spending.
"Bernanke comes in at a difficult juncture," said Laurence H. Meyer, a former Fed governor who is now an economic forecaster.
"So far it's been an easy roll, with interest rates rising at a steady, gradual pace," Mr. Meyer added. But as interest rates reach the point that they could choke off economic growth "there's less of an idea of what the next move should be."
Mr. Bernanke, a well-respected researcher who has spent almost his entire career in academia, has developed a reputation as a somewhat less vigilant inflation-fighter than Mr. Greenspan. Testifying before Congress last Thursday as chairman of the Council of Economic Advisors, Mr. Bernanke said that he expected inflation "to return to levels consistent with price stability in coming quarters."
But it is not clear that he will be any less aggressive in his early months than Mr. Greenspan would have been. Mr. Bernanke's 2001 criticism of the Fed - wrong as it turned out to be - was if anything a warning about the dangers of setting off inflation by cutting rates too deeply.
In brief remarks in the Oval Office yesterday, Mr. Bernanke said, "My first priority will be to maintain continuity with the policies and policy strategies established during the Greenspan years."
Investors seemed to believe him. The odds that the benchmark short-term rate would hit 4.5 percent by April, up from 3.75 percent today, reached 94 percent yesterday, according to a futures contract tied to Fed policy. At the start of the day, the odds had been 82 percent.
"Ben has been very clear that controlling inflation is the primary long-term goal of the Fed," said Frederic Mishkin, a Columbia University professor and a frequent research partner of Mr. Bernanke's. "And he has the credibility to do that."
Alice M. Rivlin, a former Fed governor, added: "I wouldn't expect him to do anything different than Mr. Greenspan. Certainly not at the beginning."
Mr. Bernanke's first months on the job are likely to be occupied by the question of whether energy price increases are seeping into the rest of the economy. So far, the answer seems to be a qualified no.
Core inflation is higher than it has been for much of the last few years, but it has come down slightly in recent months, the same period that hurricanes have knocked out oil refineries and sent gasoline to $3 a gallon.
One reason seems to be the weak negotiating position of American workers, said Stephen G. Cecchetti, an economist at Brandeis University and an old friend of Mr. Bernanke's. Union membership has shriveled, computers have replaced many jobs and, rationally or not, many workers fear that their jobs will be sent overseas.
That has complicated life for many families, but it has also helped prevent the sort of inflationary spiral that rocked the economy - and the Fed - in the 1970's.
If energy prices and broad inflation both do fall next year, the housing market and the federal budget deficit could be the next items confronting Mr. Bernanke.
Although some economists argue that real estate has become a bubble in coastal markets, he has made clear that, like Mr. Greenspan, he does not think the Fed should try to identify or deflate bubbles.
In a speech after joining the Fed in 2002, Mr. Bernanke took a poke at Robert J. Shiller, a Yale economist who is perhaps the nation's most prominent bubble worrier, for saying that stocks were wildly overvalued as early as 1997. Stocks had already risen above their 1997 levels in 2002 and are even higher today.
Had the Fed tried to bring down stocks in 1997, Mr. Bernanke said, it "might have done much more harm than good."
He is unlikely, though, to be able to avoid questions about the budget deficit. Mr. Greenspan helped pave the way for those deficits by encouraging Congress and the Bush administration to cut taxes.
Economists who know Mr. Bernanke have suggested that he plans to avoid injecting himself into policy debates as Mr. Greenspan often did. But reducing the deficit will probably be one of the main issues of the next few years, with the potential to affect everything from the value of the dollar to long-term interest rates to Mr. Bernanke's own reputation.
"While deficits can go for an extended period of time," said Dwight M. Jaffee, a onetime squash partner of Mr. Bernanke's who is now an economist at the University of California, Berkeley, "they can't go on forever."Continue reading the main story

The students of Yew Chung International School of Beijing (YCIS) brought the fascinating tale of Aida to life on Tuesday, November13 and Wednesday, November 14. This famous musical brought many of the middle school and high school students closer together, and strong friendship bonds were formed. As Aida is a large-scale production, many of the students had previously feared that it would not come together in time for the opening and closing night performances, but a lot of hard work and enjoyable, collaborative practices brought it all together in the nick of time.
An explanation of this musical is in order, as few have heard of it before. Aida is the princess of Nubia. She and several Nubian women are captured by the Egyptian Captain, Captain Radames. He is betrothed to Egyptian Princess Amneris, daughter of the Pharaoh. Radames’s father, Zoser, has been poisoning Pharaoh so Radames can marry Amneris and take over Egypt. Aida becomes a servant to Amneris, and she and Radames begin to fall in love, creating a love triangle. Then Aida’s father, the King of Nubia, is captured. Aida collaborates with her new love,and a servant named Mereb to create a plan to all send them home free to Nubia. However their plot is uncovered, Zoser is apprehended, and Radames and Aida are put in a tomb together.
Talk about romantic tragedy! There seem to be Romeos and Juliets all over the place!
The choreographer, Mr. Robert Dil,a YCIS music teacher, said he was so proud of how all the cast managed to finally get their costumes together and props in order for a magnificent production. He and his wife Erin both said they were in tears many times through the second act.
Sarah Quan, 16, a year 12 student from the US who played the slave Nehebka, was impressed at how much the musical improved over the course of the last few practices, when previously she worried that it wasn’t going to be ready in time. The first performance was flawless, according to Sarah’s mother, Alice Quan, who attended several performances and dress rehearsals. But the final performance, a few slip-ups aside, was electric and emotionally charged.
So while the students are sad it’s finished, they all cherish the experience and eagerly look forward to future opportunities when it comes to the school’s performances. Mr. Dil is planning a mini Broadway’s Wicked in June, and the English Department is considering Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night for the spring semester.
Sydney Hoskin, year 12, is the student correspondent for YCIS Beijing.Oddly enough, Sydney is more commonly referred to as "Squid." She’s been in Beijing for about three years now, though she also lived here for six months when she was really little, so maybe it counts as three and a half years. She’s 16 years old and loves to read, write, act, listen to music, and hang out with her friends.
The beijingkids student correspondent program gives high school students with an interest in writing and journalism a resource for guidance, feedback, and real-life training.If you are a student interested in becoming a beijingkids student correspondent, or you know a student who is, please contact email@example.com.

PATIENTS worried about care at Nuneaton's cash-strapped George Eliot Hospital were reassured today: You come first.
A government hit-squad was sent into the hospital yesterday to help sort out its finances amid fears that the trust which runs the hospital could end the financial year up to £9 million in the red.
The hospital reacted to worries about the quality of care at the George Eliot by issuing a statement.
It said: "We would like to reassure patients that the quality of their care is our absolute priority and maintaining our standards comes first."
The George Eliot Hospital NHS Trust is one of 18 organisations nationwide to be targeted for support from external financial advisors sent in by the Department of Health, which calls the advisors "turnaround teams".
They will now be working alongside the trust's own management team to identify ways to "improve efficiency, productivity and deliver cost savings" to support a financial recovery plan for the hospital.
Trust bosses in Nuneaton were only told this week that the hit-squad would be arriving, a move welcomed by the George Eliot's newly appointed interim chief executive, Graham Smith.
He said: "The George Eliot has been very open about the financial and operational challenges it is facing. With a number of new faces on the trust's board, this is an ideal opportunity to combine our experience with the knowledge and skills of external helpers.
"We will welcome the opportunity to look in real depth at the fundamental challenges facing the George Eliot and the most suitable solutions that will ensure the care of patients can be continually improved whilst delivering our statutory financial duties."

Well, I won my bet with myself, although there was little chance I would lose: As expected, the American media has utterly ignored the story that UK scientists have transformed umbilical cord blood stem cells into “mini livers,” not working livers, mind you, but liver tissue the size of a dime that can be used in drug testing and, hopefully, will one day be developed into a therapy for liver disease. Indian media reported it. So did Australian news. There was even a small report in Turkey.
Sadly, the research breakthrough just wasn’t up to rigorous US media standards since the scientists didn’t use the right kind of stem cells.
But they shouldn’t lose hope! They still have time to receive American media acclaim. All they have to do is go back to the lab and do it again–only this time with mouse embryonic stem cells. Then, the New York Times is sure to put their pictures on the front page.
