The seventh-generation Chevrolet Corvette C7 Stingray will be available at a starting price of $51,995 (around Rs. 28.3lakhs) for the base 450hp Stingray Coupe and $56,995 (around Rs. 31.01 lakhs) for the Convertible, GM announced yesterday.
The price increase is just $1,400 for the coupe and $2,395 for the convertible when compared to the 2013 model. Both prices include a $995 destination charge.
The Detroit automaker has managed to keep price hike at the minimum while including more performance and technology than the sixth-generation Corvette, quite amazing.
Interestingly, the completely revived 2014 'Vette will share only two parts with the outgoing model. Chevrolet will be targeting younger buyers to broaden its audience.
Under the hood, the car gets a 6.2 litre V8 engine good enough for 450hp and can switch four cylinders off on the highway to save fuel. These base variant prices doesn't tell the whole story.
For instance, the coupe displayed at the Detroit Auto Show would cost $73,360 (39.92lakhs). Just to mention a few, it includes optional extras such as the Z51 Performance Package, Magnetic Ride Control option, competition sport seats and so on. For the 3LT trim level with full leather interior an extra $8,005 has to be paid over the base price.
Trackday lovers will prefer the Z51 package, which includes 19-inch front and 20-inch rear wheels, shorter gear ratios, electronic limited-slip differential and bigger brake rotors. The Z51 performance package will help the Stingray do 0-60mph in under four seconds and pull a 1.0 g lateral acceleration in corners.
Even though the fully-loaded C7 sounds like a lot, it is competitively priced against the likes of the Nissan GT-R and Porsche 911. The base coupe and convertible will be mated to a seven-speed manual transmission and will have standard features like Bose audio and stylish HID headlight with LED running lights.

Drugs may act in various ways to impair proper nutrition: by hastening excretion of certain nutrients, or by interfering with the body’s ability to convert nutrients into usable forms. Nutrient depletion of the body occurs gradually, but for those taking drugs over long periods of time, these interactions can lead to deficiencies of certain vitamins and minerals, especially in children, the elderly, those with poor diets, and the chronically ill.
Some drugs inhibit nutrient absorption by their effect on the bowel wall. Among these are colchicine, a drug prescribed for gout, and mineral oil, an ingredient used in some over-the-counter laxatives.
A number of drugs affect specific vitamins and minerals. The antihypertension drug hydralazine and the antituberculosis drug INH can deplete the body’s supply of vitamin B6 by inhibiting production of the enzyme necessary to convert the vitamin into a form the body can use, or by combining with the vitamin to form a compound that is excreted.
Similarly, anticonvulsant drugs that are used to control epilepsy can lead to deficiencies of vitamin D and folic acid because they increase the turnover rate of these vitamins in the body.

Just like 5v5 ranked team queue before it, playing with people you know doesn't necessarily guarantee you a win. That is, if you're making the assumption that all individuals are equal at your rank.
The teamwork factor can make a huge difference, but if you're playing against individuals who are objectively better than each one of your teammates, more often than not, this will result in a loss for you.
Edit: Concerning the content of the edited question: yes, there may be some inflation of rank, however, you must keep in mind that Riot restricts the rank gap of players queuing ranked together.
The only restriction on your Ranked group is based on rank. You must be within two tiers of the rest of your team to play in a dynamic group. This means, for example, if you're in Gold, you can only play with those who are in Silver, Gold, or Platinum. Unranked players may play with Bronze, Silver, and Gold players.
Also, I think that your assumption that rank was a solid indicator of personal skill prior to dynamic queue is a bit misguided. Prior to the ranked queueing rank gap restriction, people were being boost simply via duo-queueing. Since the gap restriction, I feel like things may be slightly more accurate, but there are alway loopholes. Very highly ranked players can simply make smurf accounts now that are unranked and boost a Bronze player all the way to Platinum.
I think that Riot's intent with this queue is to really force people to start thinking and behaving like a team. It isn't a stretch to say that, historically, in solo queue, there has been a mindset of "I have to carry, I have to do the most damage, I have to have the best score, if I don't carry, we will lose".
This thinking is detrimental to the team dynamic and (IMO) is the source of all the negativity people have for their own teammates. The old queue promotes that 1v9 mentality where a player may feel that it's his effort vs the efforts of everyone else in the game.

Keke Palmer is SO fed up!
The Scream Queens star went on to rant:
Beyoncé has a secret…
Well, she has about 100 secrets actually…
Queen Bey's collaborator/producer The-Dream dropped a bit of a bombshell: Beyoncé has "a hundred" unreleased songs!
The-Dream was musing about Bey's fourth studio album, titled 4, and the specific single End of Time, and how they were going for a vibe similar to musician Fela Kuti and the Broadway musical Fela inspired. The-Dream said:
"We did a whole Fela album that didn't go up. It was right before we did 4. We did a whole different sounding thing, about 20 songs. She said she wanted to do something that sounds like Fela. That's why there's so much of that sound in the 'End of Time.'"
Whoa, so Beyoncé basically has an entire unreleased album??
The-Dream makes it seem even more crazy than that, saying:
"There's always multiple albums being made. Most of the time we're just being creative, period. We're talking about B, somebody who sings all day long and somebody who writes all day long. There's probably a hundred records just sitting around."
Wow, we guess she really is one of the hardest working people in America! She just has unreleased, full albums lying around??
What's sad is The-Dream didn't mention anything about the potential for any of these tracks to ever see the light of day.
Maybe that's a good thing (not every song can be a hit) but now that we know there's more Bey out there… we HAVE to hear some!!
Are U itching for unheard Beyoncé tracks?? Let us know in the comments!!

A report from Edmunds put the average price of a used car in 2014 at $16,800, which is a record, and a 5.7-percent increase from 2013. It also found 1-year-old and 4-year-old cars showed gains at or near the average, while some vintages showed gains of up to 18.4 percent.
Ford is reportedly cutting the price of both the Fusion Hybrid and Energi plug-in hybrid by $900 for the 2016 model year. The move makes them more attractive to buyers in light of cheaper gas prices and updated challengers on the way.
Mercedes-Benz is ending production of the G63 AMG 6X6 after selling more than 100 of them. It appears that a slightly toned-down successor is already waiting in the wings in the form of the already-teased G500 4x4².
Despite its best efforts, Cadillac can't seem to move enough of its sedans – like the ATS and CTS – forcing it to offer deep incentives and reduce production. The Escalade SUV, on the other hand, is selling like chromed hotcakes.
Want to get your hands on the new Cadillac ATS-V? You'll need $61,460 for the sedan or $63,660 for the coupe – information revealed as Cadillac opens the order books ahead of production commencing in the spring.
It's a sinking feeling many new car buyers are well aware of, the knowledge that your brand-new car just lost a bunch of money, just because you drove it off the lot. Which cars lose value the fastest, according to iSeeCars.com?
These were the ten best-selling vehicles in the United States in January 2015. While the leader may not surprise you, we think you'll find plenty of interesting facts and figures in the list, and the finishing order sometimes changes dramatically from month to month.

Elexus Jionde faces barrage of harassment after tweeting about 9/11 and black history
Jionde’s tweetstorm on black history prompted a largely positive response. However, it also triggered an onslaught of harassment, including racist comments and death threats.
“I’ve received death threats, racist jokes, and a lot of tweets regarding my future children having cancer. That [first] tweet has since gone viral, and without the 40+ tweets accompanying it, there are people in my mentions telling me that I’m a disgrace to my race and country for saying 9/11 only killed white people, when that isn’t what I said at all.”
Jionde believes that her thread being disabled was “no accident,” and she has accused Twitter of deliberately removing the thread.
“I believe Twitter deliberately unconnected the thread to deprive people of context. Some will say that it was some sort of system glitch or whatever, but I personally believe they disabled my thread because someone in the office was offended over the first tweet.”
Twitter outrightly denies this, suggesting that the problem could be the result of a bug.
“We can confirm that no proactive measures were taken to remove specific replies from this thread and are looking into this, in the event that a bug may have impacted it,” Twitter’s head of communications, Kristin Binns, told BuzzFeed News.
Twitter removes people’s posts all the time so their statement is bullshit. Twitter has deliberately worked against activists/activism as well so like.. free speech though right? Anyway I hope she has a paypal link
I have no faith in a proper investigation.
She was VERY close to my family. My Godfathers sister. Say her name! Baton Rouge has a petition to get a high school renamed to her name, HISTORY!!

The secret of good cooking is having first-rate ingredients, first and foremost good olive oil. Which is why, to enhance the flavour of our dishes, we have chosen to produce our own extra virgin olive oil.
The sub-Mediterranean climate of the Basso Sarca Valley, mitigated by the presence oof Lake Garda, offers the perfect habitat for the cultivation of olive groves. The oil from Trentino is renowned for being produced from plants grown at one of the highest latitudes of our hemisphere, and indeed our terraced olive groves are situated on the slopes of Mount Tenno.
Our passion for agriculture and wholesomeness has been handed down from generation to generation: Lino, Giorgio’s father and founder of the trattoria, preferred to be known as a "peasant" rather than a restaurateur, and Giorgio, while being the trattoria’s front man, loves to remind those around him of his passion for agriculture and his love of the land. Recently, this passion has been embraced by Annalisa, who has founded the agricultural enterprise "Val", and who follows the cultivation of her vineyards and olive groves with great dedication. Her main aim is to oversee the entire production process, so as to offer our customers wholesome, first-rate oil.
Cold pressed, this extra virgin olive oil has a delicate flavour, with a slightly bitter and zesty aftertaste, capable of enhancing a great variety of dishes.
In 2011, Annalisa’s oil won first prize as “Best Municipal Oil” in a competition organised by the Cultural Committee of Cologna Tenno Gavazzo.

Apple Cider Vinegar Diet Side Effects
Apple Cider Vinegar Diet Side Effects – What to Know Before Startnin’ a New Diet
Did you know that drinking vinegar can help you lose weight? This seems like a no-brainer, right? After all, vinegar has a high concentration of acetic acid, the same acid found in yogurt and vinegar. In fact, drinking vinegar has been known to help reduce the amount of fat in your diet by about 15 percent. Does it count as a “dietary supplement”? The Dietary Supplement Act of 1994 lists acetic acid as a dietary supplement. So, as long as you’re not using it to mask the taste of food or to replace something else that’s been removed from your diet (like sugar), it’s probably OK to start adding vinegar to your diet as a way to lose weight. Keep reading to know more about the effects of vinegar on your body and your diet, as well as its potential side effects.
What is the Cider Vinegar Diet?
The Cider Vinegar Diet is a patient-friendly eating plan that promotes weight loss by removing food items from the diet that promote unhealthy fats and gaining healthy nutrients. It is a low-fat, low-calorie diet that recommends drinking 2 glasses of Cider Vinegar daily along with 5 glasses of water. The diet is based on the premise that excess calories from certain foods – especially fatty foods – can cause weight gain. The diet is aimed at rewiring your body so that it burns calories more efficiently. Cider vinegar is a type of vinegar made from fermented apples. It is high in naturally occurring acid and calories, with a suggested serving size of one glass per day.
How to Start a Cider Vinegar Diet
Start by buying a bottle of Cider Vinegar. You can find this at most grocery stores or online. Next, you’ll have to find out how to make it at home. This can be a little tricky, so check out this guide on how to make your own Cider Vinegar. Next, you’ll have to find out how to use it in your diet. There are many ways to go about this. You can drink it straight, mix it in with your favorite foods, or use it as a beverage. The key here is to drink it every day. A single glass should contain 2 tablespoons of Cider Vinegar. If you want to drink it more often, you can add an extra tablespoon of vinegar to make up for a lost time. Keep in mind that you should drink this beverage alone, rather than with other foods.
Benefits of Drinking Cider vinegar
Studies show that drinking 2 glasses of Cider Vinegar daily can help promote weight loss. One study led participants on a diet to lose an average of 6 pounds in 10 days. Another study found that drinking 1 glass of Cider Vinegar daily led to a 2-pound weight loss over 8 weeks. In another study, overweight participants who consumed 1 cup of Cider Vinegar daily experienced a 2-pound weight loss over the course of 6 months. Another study found that drinking 1 tablespoon of Cider Vinegar daily along with 5 glasses of water was enough to reduce the amount of fat in the participants’ diets by up to 15 percent.
Potential Side Effects of Cider vinegar
There are a few potential side effects of Cider Vinegar that you should be aware of. The first is that drinking too much of it can lead to acidity in your stomach, which can lead to acidity in your acidic environment (both inside your stomach and your digestive system) and lead to more acidity in your body. This can result in increased heartburn, which is a potential side effect. Another potential side effect of too much Cider Vinegar is that it can lead to indigestion ( acid indigestion ). If you have digestive problems, this can lead to significant abdominal pain and diarrhea. You should also be careful when drinking this beverage with other foods or beverages that contain acidities such as prunes, lemons, limes, and asparagus.
If you’re looking to lose weight, the Cider Vinegar Diet may be a helpful way to kickstart your weight loss. One study found that participants who drank 1 cup of Cider Vinegar daily lost 2.2 pounds in 8 weeks after just 1 month of dieting. Keep in mind that you’ll have to drink 1 cup of Cider Vinegar every day for several months before you notice a difference, however. This diet is recommended for people who want to lose weight. You should drink this beverage alone, rather than with other foods or drinks. You should drink this beverage daily for several months before you notice a difference in your body. You should drink this beverage alone, rather than with other foods or drinks. You should drink this beverage daily for several months before you notice a difference in your diet or your health.

Day 1: Arusha – Lake Manyara National Park
In the morning you will be picked up from your hotel and after a short briefing you set off to the Lake Manyara National Park. The small park stretches along the 600 m high Rift Valley Escarpment and is dominated by the alkaline Lake Manyara. Many water birds gather at the lake and more than 400 bird species are found in the park. The diverse vegetation provides a habitat for many animals such as monkeys in the forest, giraffes and antelopes on the grasslands and elephants around the acacia trees. If you are very lucky you might also see the Manyara lions, lounging in the trees. In the late afternoon you will leave the Lake Manyara National Park and head for overnight.
Day 2: Lake Manyara – Serengeti National Park
After breakfast you will drive towards the fertile crater highlands where the farmers grow wheat, corn and coffee. You will pass the Ngorongoro Crater before you reach the plains of the Serengeti National Park around midday. Serengeti is the largest park in Tanzania and has a diversity of habitats and landscapes including short grass plains, savannah, thick bush, swamps, mountains and lakes. Depending on the season you will witness the migration of thousands of animals for which this park is famous for. You will spend the night at the selected accommodation.

On-Call Appreciation Events launched
Cumbria Fire and Rescue Service has launched a series of appreciation events to recognise the outstanding contribution of its on-call firefighters – and their support networks.
The service is holding gatherings at all 36 of its on-call stations across the county, starting with Appleby last week, Egremont and Kirkby Lonsdale this week, and then continuing throughout the rest of 2023 and into the new year.
The events celebrate dedication of the service’s on-call firefighters and the commitment they provide to their communities. The events also give the fire service and the firefighters the chance to thank their families and their primary employers for the vital support they provide.
Angela Opie, Cumbria Fire and Rescue Service Group Manager and event organiser, said: “This has been a fantastic start to this year’s on-call appreciation events, they are proving to be a huge success.
"It is such a proud moment and is so nice to see on-call staff, their families and employers coming together so we can thank them for their amazing support they give to Cumbria Fire & Rescue Service and their communities.”
The events include a presentation from the Station Manager on the role of the on-call fire service, before certificates are presented to the firefighters, their families and their employers. Guests are then given the opportunity to tour the station and view demonstrations of the vehicles and equipment used.

GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) _ Brett Favre will return for his 17th NFL season, undeterred by his injuries and hoping to lead the Green Bay Packers back to the playoffs.
”I am so excited about coming back,” the 37-year-old quarterback said Friday on the Web site of the Sun Herald in Biloxi, Miss. ”We have a good nucleus of young players. We were 8-8 last year, and that’s encouraging.”
Packers general manager Ted Thompson confirmed Favre had told the team he plans to return.
”The Packers are excited by his decision and look forward to a successful 2007 campaign,” Thompson said in a statement.
The team scheduled a 4 p.m. EST news conference Friday.
”My offensive line looks good, the defense played good down the stretch,” Favre told the Biloxi newspaper. ”I’m excited about playing for a talented young football team.”
The news came as a surprise to Packers CEO Bob Harlan.
”I hadn’t heard it, and I hadn’t seen the Biloxi paper _ not that I read the Biloxi paper every day,” Harlan told The Associated Press on Friday.
Favre last left the field in an emotional scene in Chicago after leading the Packers to a victory to finish the season 8-8.
He has started 257 consecutive games including the playoffs, an NFL record for quarterbacks. Favre broke Dan Marino’s record for career completions (4,967) in 2006 and is closing in on Marino’s marks for career touchdown passes (420) and yards passing (61,361).
As he has done in the past several offseasons, Favre returned to his home in Mississippi after the season to deliberate about his future. Last year, Favre waited until late April to tell the team he was returning.
Favre complained about nagging injuries and the drudgery of practice toward the end of last season, then choked back tears as he talked about missing the game and missing his teammates in a television interview immediately after the regular-season finale in Chicago _ leading many to believe he intended to retire.
Apparently, he couldn’t resist one more chance to try to lead the Packers back to the playoffs after the Packers won their final four games and were in playoff contention until the final weekend of the regular season.
Favre has led the Packers to 10 postseason appearances, six division titles, three NFC Championship games, two Super Bowls and one championship following the 1996 season.
Favre was acquired in a trade by former Packers general manager Ron Wolf after one season as a backup in Atlanta in 1991. He completed his first NFL pass _ to himself _ on Sept. 13, 1992, catching a deflection and losing seven yards.
The following week, he replaced injured starter Don Majkowski in the third quarter and led the Packers to a come-from-behind 24-23 victory over Cincinnati.
Favre started in place of Majkowski on Sept. 27, 1992, beginning the streak he often has called his biggest personal accomplishment. The 237-game regular-season streak is nearly six seasons ahead of the Colts’ Peyton Manning at 144.
Favre’s accomplishments include winning three league MVP awards _ he shared 1997 honors with Detroit Lions running back Barry Sanders _ and throwing two touchdown passes in a 35-21 victory over the New England Patriots in the 1997 Super Bowl to give the Packers their first championship in 29 years. Earlier in that championship season, Favre spent time in the Menninger Clinic in Topeka, Kan., battling an addiction to painkillers.
Favre led the Packers back to the Super Bowl the following season, but they lost to Elway’s Denver Broncos 31-24.

Our brief was to create an innovative, space efficient, multi-purpose building where learning could take place without the traditional boundaries between formal and informal learning spaces. We had to design, manufacture, and install joinery throughout The Performance Hub.
What we did
We design engineered from the architect’s drawings, creating bespoke joinery and graphics. This included their main reception counter in the Harrison Centre, along with breakout and kitchen areas.
To achieve full Disability Discrimination Act (DDA) compliance we had to ensure the design catered for disabled students making the full facilities accessible.
The materials used were specified for the purpose of longevity and cleanability.
Delivered on time and ready for the new academic year the new Performance Hub is an exciting development which enabled the University of Wolverhampton to integrate their music, dance and drama schools into one location, with all performance students now based on the Walsall Campus.

Gay Marriage: Nothing to Be Afraid of Anymore
Back in 2008, after the passage of Proposition 8 banned gay marriage in California, there was a lot of talk about putting a pro-marriage initiative on the ballot in 2010. That didn’t happen, and my read of public opinion at the time suggested we’d be better off waiting a little bit to ensure victory. Time was on our side, after all. This may all be moot if Prop 8 gets overturned by the Supreme Court, but in any case, it looks like the success of same-sex marriage laws in other states has had a galvanizing effect on California public opinion. According to the Field Poll, about 51 percent of Californians approved of gay marriage in 2008, and that number hadn’t budged much by 2010. But their latest poll shows a huge shift. [READ MORE]

For awhile, Rick Santorum lectured us on what the nuns taught him….gave him his personal view of things. IMHO, Rick is totally Catholic where it is easy for him to lie to us and then go to Confession and get his sins excused. Rick wants us to stop asking questions about what he said on contraception, sex, birth control, “the sexual realm (whatever that means) and gay rights. IMHO it is reasonable to believe that Rick Santorum may have reminded his lawyer wife about the Bible‘s role of a wife and made her submit to his request to go on CNN and try to save his ass. It is just possible, I say As it is now, he is free to reverse what his wife said, should his fantasy of becoming President occurs.

Let this be a goodbye song hoping Rush Limbaugh will be forced to leave radio and live on his billions of dirty money
Rush Limbaugh Cartoon by Ian D. Marsden of marsdencartoons.com (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
The Washington Post revealed this weekend that the White House has a current offer “still on the table” to make billions of dollars of cuts in Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid. Democratic Leaders in Congress, Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi, grudgingly agreed to the deal, according to the Post.
Tell Obama, Reid, and Pelosi: hands off Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid.
Obama should veto any budget that does not increase taxes on the wealthy. But missing from the entire budget discussion is the existence of absurdly bloated military spending.
Military spending takes over half of discretionary spending and is protected by the silence of both parties and the media. Military spending hurts the economy, rather than boosting it. Military spending makes us less safe, destroys the environment, erodes civil liberties, concentrates presidential power, blocks progressive initiatives, and kills large numbers of people.
And polls show the majority of Americans want military spending cut.
Tell Obama, Reid, and Pelosi to cut the military instead of human needs.

Thirty years ago, a Reagan administration report warned of “a rising tide of mediocrity that threatens our very future as a nation and a people.” The report, “A Nation at Risk,” tied that mediocrity to the alleged failure of America‘s schools.
Fast forward to 2012, and the story hasn’t changed, former New York City schools chief Joel Klein and former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice wrote in a report provided to The Huffington Post slated to be released Tuesday. “The sad fact is that the rising tide of mediocrity is not something that belongs in history books,” said the report produced by a Council on Foreign Relations task force they co-chaired.

Joseph Ngoga returned home one evening in 1994 to find his entire family slaughtered by his own neighbours and friends. By the end of the Rwandan genocide against the Tutsis, the 16‐year‐old had lost almost all of his extended family, witnessed horrors that still give him nightmares, and survived by pretending to be a Hutu.
Stefan Carter was 14 when he and his emaciated mother in the Warsaw Ghetto were ordered by the Nazis to march to a selection site, where his mother was forced on a train to the Treblinka death camp. He later survived the Holocaust by pretending not to be Jewish.
Winnipeggers who survived the Rwandan genocide and their families will hold a free afternoon of sharing and discussion at the Canadian Museum for Human Rights (CMHR) on Saturday, April 9 at 1:30 p.m., moderated by CBC Radio host Terry Macleod. April 7 officially marks the 22nd anniversary of the genocide that saw a million ethnic Tutsi people murdered in 100 days. The event will also include the story of Carter as a Holocaust survivor.
April is Genocide Awareness and Prevention Month, as designated by a unanimous vote in Canada's Parliament last year. Ngoga and Carter will share their stories about two different atrocities with common threads of violation, denial and displacement. The message: When human rights are violated, there is always pressure to cover it up. But silence and denial help the oppressors, setting the stage for more violations. When survivors and their allies speak out, the cycle can be broken.
Malaïka Brandt‐Murenzi, a 20‐year‐old university student, will speak about her experiences as the Canadian‐born daughter of a survivor. She has twice visited Rwanda and will share what she has learned and her hopes for the future.
WHAT: Event to mark anniversary of Rwandan genocide against the Tutsis
WHEN: Saturday, April 9, 1:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m.
WHERE: CMHR (MTS Classrooms), 85 Israel Asper Way
NOTE: On Thursday, April 7 at 9:30 a.m., Ngoga, Brandt‐Murenzi and her father, Évasio Murenzi, will be available for photos and interviews in the CMHR's Breaking the Silence gallery, where the story of the Rwandan genocide is displayed, along with a flak jacket from Lieutenant‐General Roméo Dallaire, who led the UN Peacekeeping force in Rwanda.

Police violence is a constant in Latin America, as a legacy of authoritarian regimes and the militarization of the police. According to a report by the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNDOC), Brazil is the country with the second highest homicide rate per 100,000 inhabitants, only surpassed by Venezuela. In this scenario, the recent operation in the favela of Jacarezinho, in Rio de Janeiro, is an emblematic example of the brutality of the security forces.
In April 2020, according to data from the Institute of Public Security (ISP)deaths due to police actions in the state of Rio de Janeiro increased by 43% compared to the previous year. Under Governor Wilson Witzel’s administration, civilian and military police killed 117 people, almost six per day, making that month the deadliest in police killings since data gathering started in 1998, second only to July 2019.
Less than a year later, on March 6, 2021, 27 youths were killed during a Civil Police operation in the Jacarezinho favela, in what became the deadliest operation in Rio de Janeiro’s history. In charge of managing the operation this time was Governor Cláudio Castro, who had taken office less than two weeks earlier due to Witzel’s dismissal for corruption.
Both episodes, although separated by a year, can be linked as they occurred in the midst of a pandemic that, on the day of Operation Jacarezinho, had already killed more than 400,000 Brazilians.
Performance of the security forces during the pandemic
The pandemic authorized the suspension of a series of daily activities in the name of preserving life. A court order issued by the Supreme Federal Court in June 2020 limited police operations in Rio de Janeiro’s favelas during the pandemic to “absolutely exceptional” cases. So why, then, instead of decreasing, has police violence intensified, resulting in almost 800 deaths so far?
The answer is certainly not to be found in the “war on drugs”, which so far has not ceased to demonstrate its failure to reduce trafficking and consumption by dismantling criminal networks and seizing illicit substances. Much less in the moralistic justification of investigating the seduction of children and adolescents by drug trafficking offered by the police corporation.
In the end, what kills, whether in April 2020 or May 6, 2021, is racism. Racism drives the “war on drugs”, whose objective is not related to its stated goals, but framed by the social markers of race, gender, class and territory constructed within the framework of a society forged by slavery.
The police power to kill was not suspended during the pandemic precisely because this power occurs daily as an essential activity of the state. And just as the State defined the opening of markets and pharmacies as its essential activities, it also continued to define the “war on drugs” as its essential activity. For it is through this that the State continues to fulfill its most essential function, that of discriminating who should live and who should die, and performatively, noisily and bloodily demarcating the unequal distribution of the value of lives.
It is through the “war on drugs” that the State continues to delimit which is the “cheapest meat on the market”, as denounced in the song “La Carne” in the voice of Elza Soares.
If, on the one hand, the Witzel government called on the cariocas to unite around the war against the Covid-19 virus, on the other hand, this same State divided society into combatants and enemies of the war on drugs. In the latter, the State was authorized by the governor to directly target the “little head” of a specific segment of the population living in the favelas and peripheries of the city.
This segment found itself in a crossfire, victim of two “wars”, one in which it was called upon to fight and cooperate with the State to flatten the curve of the virus and another much more familiar one, in which it has always been the target of the State’s deadly actions.
The structural necropolitics of the Brazilian State
What we saw on May 6 was one more chapter, the most lethal, of this state project of necropolitics which, as the Cameroonian author Achille Mbembe shows us, is aimed at causing death. The production of death is not caused by deviant policemen, by accidents on the road or by unforeseen results, but by systematic and routine state actions that cannot be suspended even in the midst of the pandemic.
Both Witzel and Castro chose not to externalize the power of death to a virus, which, while falling disproportionately on vulnerable segments of the population, kills in a manner too broad and decentralized for their tastes.
For racialized segments of the Brazilian population, normality has always coexisted with police truculence and the logic of war against their territories. The deaths resulting from the police action in Jacarezinho show that the most essential pact for the State is the asymmetric pact that dehumanizes an important part of its population and authorizes the “war on drugs”.
This pact is so deeply rooted in the Brazilian State that any initiative that seeks to suspend it, as was the case of the injunction granted by the STF, is circumvented and becomes an object of “mockery”. In fact, the name given to the operation in Jacarezinho, “Exceptis” or Exception, was qualified by several entities, among them the Public Defender’s Office of the State of Rio de Janeiro, the Papo Reto Collective, Redes da Maré and Justiça Global, as a “mockery” of the restriction of police operations during the pandemic, “except in situations of absolute exceptionality”.
The message given by the operation taken as legitimate by state agents, police, governor and president, was that it is not the law that defines normality and exception in relation to peripheral territories, but brute force.
Through the use of excessive and disproportionate force, contrary to the rule of law, the agents of the State, while mocking the law, said in a loud and perverse tone that there, in the space of the favela, the state of exception is permanent and normal. This is the same as saying that for the State there is a normality that cannot be quarantined, that cannot give truce: the genocide of black, poor and favela youths.

Nuclear experts refute Netanyahu's Iran claims
The International Atomic Energy Agency has refuted claims made by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that Iran had in the past secretly worked on a nuclear project called "Project Amad". Mr Netanyahu on Tuesday said Israeli spies had found mountains of evidence of plans to build nuclear weapons despite claims from Iran it has mothballed the project 15 years ago. US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said the documents proved "beyond any doubt" that Iran had not told the truth. Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Bahram Ghasemi described Mr Netanyahu as an "infamous liar who has had nothing to offer except lies and deceits". Former Guardian Middle East editor Ian Black discusses the details with Susie Ferguson.

¡MAYDAY! album release
¡MAYDAY! performs in celebration of its new album at Transit Lounge on October 9.
¡MAYDAY! "Stuck On An Island" album release party
October 9, 2010
729 SW 1st Ave.
Miami, FL 33130
Tickets: $10 for admission and a copy of "Stuck On An Island"
Heard good things about ¡MAYDAY!? Seen them in several of Lil Wayne's videos, and wondered what they're about?
Well if you aren't hip to Miami's most eclectic band, Saturday is the perfect day to get familiar. The sextet will be holding an album release party for its sophomore set, Stuck On An Island, on October 9 at the intimate and always fun Transit Lounge in Miami.
But this isn't just sitting on a couch listening to the disc play. The group will rock the house with what's sure to be a fiery performance, and they'll have help from some friends: Legendary Queens rapper N.O.R.E, 305's own Ghostwridah, and T-Pain underling Tay Dizm.
The hip-hop (and much more) group burst onto the scene in 2007 with the Cee-Lo Green-assisted "Groundhog Day" and its self-titled debut album. Since then, they've dropped three excellent EPs and played virtually every club and venue in Miami (including opening for Public Enemy and B.o.B in recent weeks).
Stuck On An Island, set to be released on October 12, is the culmination of years of hard work. Fans will recognize frequently performed songs like "Fire," "Pass The 45" and "Technology," but the album also includes plenty of new material, including the haunting electro jam "I'll Be Gone" and the infectious rocker "Worst Case Scenario," featuring The Roots-affiliated Money Making Jam Boyz.
$10 will not only gain you admission to the album release show, but also get you a special advanced copy of Stuck On An Island.
In the meanwhile, you can check out their recently released mixtape, Lords Of The Fly, for free courtesy of DJ Booth.

This book tells about the lives of 4 orphans growing up in Dumfrey's Dime Museum of Freaks. They are the only children as part of his show. Pippa is sort of a mind reader, but she sometimes can only tell what is in your pockets. Thomas can squeeze into small spaces. Sam is a strong man and Max is a knife thrower. Dumfrey's museum is struggling so he brings in a new exhibit- an Amazonian shrunken head. Unfortunately, at the first show that exhibits the head, a woman in the audience dies. A reporter in the audience writes an article and suggests that the shrunken head might carry a curse with it.
This story was just "ok" to me. (Tim too) We both felt that the story had potential and that the characters were kind of fun, but the amount of deaths in the story seemed extraneous. Don't get me wrong, this is not filled with people killing each other, but we think the story could've been told without some of the deaths. Neither one of us are interested in reading the rest of the stories in the series.
This book has been sitting on my to read shelf forever! I don't even remember where I got it. My guess is that I picked it up somewhere for Tim a few years ago, but wanted to read it first to see if there is anything inappropriate that he shouldn't be reading. (There isn't)
I don't often say that I love a book, but I might have loved this one- or at the very least, liked it a lot. Who knew I'd spend my summer enjoying middle grade fantasy? I love the premise of this whole book. There is a bookbinder- called Mo by his daughter and nicknamed Silvertongue by some other characters- who has the ability to read characters out of the books that they are written in. Unfortunately, when a character is transported out of their story, someone from Mo's word is transported in. His 12 year old daughter, Meggie, knows nothing about this ability since her father has always told her that he is not good at/doesn't like reading aloud. One night, Meggie is sitting in her room when she hears a noise outside. She looks out her window to see a man, Dustfinger, in their yard. She informs her father and it becomes obvious to Meggie that her dad knows this man.The 2 men talk privately and soon we learn that a man named Capricorn has been seeking Silvertongue and a book that he is in possession of.
I don't want to give away too much of this book (even though it's from early 2000s so you may have read it!) so I'm not going to write more about the plot. Here's a few things that I loved:
1) The story in general. It's full of love for books and reading. It captures that books can take you to far away places and fill you with wonder, or scare you while you're reading alone in your room. I just felt that everything was really imaginative.
2) The characters- There is one character, Elinor, who I grew to like more within the story. She is Meggie's great aunt. She seems kind of like a bitter, old woman who is obsessed with books. Her books are kept in pristine condition in her massive house full of bookshelves and a special library. (Kind of like how my books are kept in wonderful condition within my messy apartment..lol) Elinor sees her books almost like her friends or her children and they are precious to her. Although I am not a person who is easily attached to material things, I get being attached to books.
3) The beginning of each chapter starts with quotations from other great books. I have always loved that. Is it Dean Koontz that does that in most of his books?
Read this book.

Chili pepper, aromatic spirit and its extracts, natural honey, apple juice, and extracts of sweet clover are used, giving the vodka its soft taste and balanced flavours.
Pervak is a real craft vodka with a secret ancient formula of double distillation of the aromatic spirit of rye breadcrumbs, added to it the grain spirit and the best drinking water. Also added to it is the aromatic spirit of lime blossom and a bit of sugar syrup, making it reach an extra mild flavour with subtle notes of rye breadcrumbs.

WYNNEWOOD, Pa. - Eating lots of fresh fruits and vegetables is a key to good health, but getting access to them, and even preparing them, is a challenge for many seniors.
Now, there's a local hospital using a real "farm to table" approach.
It's been a bountiful summer for the Deaver Wellness Farm at Lankenau Hospital.
The farm, inspired by former first lady Michelle Obama's White House garden, is aimed at connecting patients with fresh produce.
"Many of our patients have chronic diseases, like diabetes, or cardiovascular disease," said Chinwe Onyekere, Lankenau Hospital Associate Administrator.
Onyekere says better nutrition should improve those conditions.
But how do you get it from the field to patient tables?
"We thought we would bring the produce right into the doctor's office," said Onyekere.
Adults coming to Lankenau's internal medicine practice get the latest harvest, but the hospital does more than just give them vegetables.
"We use the waiting room as an opportunity to teach how to prepare the fresh fruits and vegetables," said Onyekere.
While awaiting appointments, patients see and taste recipes for the new foods.
"Once they try it and like it, they're excited to try it again. And maybe the next time they go food shopping, they'll purchase these healthy vegetables,' said Onyekere.
This produce pipeline is especially important for seniors with mobility or transportation issues who can't get to markets.
It also serves as a research database to see how improving nutrition improves health.
"We hope to see that we have a reduction in diabetes, and a reduction in hypertension," said Onyekere.
In less than 2 years, over 800 patients have received more than 7,000 pounds of food. And Lankenau does it year-round - stopping for just one month last winter.

Penton Stockholders Approve Merger with Prism (posted 1/24)
Stockholders of Penton Media Wednesday approved the company’s merger with Prism Business Media during a special meeting. More than 93 percent of the votes cast by common stockholders and 100 percent of the votes cast by preferred stockholders favored the merger. The transaction is expected to close on or before February 6.
Prism announced in November its intention to buy Penton in a $530 million deal, which includes the repayment of Penton’s debt. Once the transaction is completed, the newly merged company will take the Penton name. Penton, which is now a publicly traded company, will become a privately owned venture of Wasserstein & Co. and MidOcean Partners.
Penton’s top executives, including Nussbaum, CFO Preston Vice and EVP Darrell Denny, own a combined total of 36,125 shares of the preferred stock. The three stand to reap sizeable payouts when they cash in their stock and exercise their total compensation packages at the close of the deal, according to a proxy statement filed in November with the SEC. Nussbaum alone is set to make between $5.4 million and $6.5 million. Denny and Vice could make as much as $1,818,669 and $1,373,030, respectively.
