Grab your reusable bottle since Dasani is rolling out 100 BYOB vending machines – essentially, refillable water stations – as a test approach to curb plastic waste. The company also will start selling water in aluminum cans, which are made from more recycled material than plastic bottles, in the northeast this fall.
Facebook Wants to Read your Mind
Although it may seem like it, Facebook can’t yet read your thoughts, but the company’s Research Lab is making progress into getting inside your brain using infrared. In collaboration with the University of California in San Francisco, Facebook has run recent experiments analyzing brain activity in real-time.
Designers Take Back Time With The Help Of Manufacturers
The advent of the Internet has done more to revolutionize the way design is realized today than any other technological advancement. Certainly, the proliferation of personal computers enhanced the way designers work, but the Internet’s immeasurable value lies in its capacity to create new marketplaces, facilitate an exchange of ideas and images at breakneck speed, and induce far-flung but fruitful collaborations. That demand for excellence makes today a very challenging time to be a designer. There is, however, a growing trend in the industry that lessens a substantial load on designers. It’s been called “the rise of dealer designers” and while these individuals are not new to the industry, their ability to drastically relieve the pressure of client demands on designers is coming to the light.
It's called the Replicator and it could very well be the future of 3-D printing. Inspired by both Star Trek and CT scanners, the Replicator projects a video of a 3-D image into a synthetic resin that solidifies under certain intensities of light. The result is a super smooth, bespoke object. Right now the Replicator can only print things at the centimeter scale, but the possibilities once it is scaled up could be astounding.
New Solar Blind Harvests More Power Than Window Coatings
Soligami may sound like a delicious cured meat, but it's actually the next development in transforming windows into solar panels. While there are currently coatings that can generate solar energy from windows, they darken rooms and aren't particularly efficient. Soligami, developed by Australia-based design firm Prevalent, would hang like a drape and use unique origami-inspired folds to bounce light around across multiple panels, generating large amounts of energy.
The Robotic Future of Farming
Thanks to advances in zoological sciences, we know that humans are not the only species that have the capacity for self-awareness, language, or even farming. But one cognitive ability we do have over other animals is thinking into the far future, which is a skill we've been under-employing as we face the looming threat of cataclysmic climate change and a swelling global population. But changes in the way we do agriculture, which currently produces 33% of green house gas emissions, could have long term positive effects on our planet. And a lot of these changes will be the result of robots taking on most of the tasks on large and small farms.
Every January, tech investors, manufacturers, enthusiasts, and journalists flock to Las Vegas to get a glimpse at what the products of the future may look like at CES. This year's crop of gadgets brought some exciting developments in artificial intelligence, autonomous vehicles, and robotics (including one that can bake bread). But it wouldn't be CES without some truly head-scratching, and ego-deflating, entries.
More Unsettling Tech Developments Arriving in 2019
New year, new future tech to be equally wowed and disquieted by. As we leave 2018 and all of its tech-related scandals and outrages behind, it's tempting to look ahead to this year's developments with a futurist-friendly outlook. In an ideal world, tech would be used solely for good or entertaining purposes — sadly, we don't live in an ideal world. Read on to find out what future developments you should keep a discerning eye on in 2019.
Scientists Attempt to Cool Earth with Calcium Carbonate
The news about climate change may not be getting any better on the ground, but there's some hope up in the stratosphere. Scientists at Harvard will launch the first solar geoengineering experiment this spring, which will attempt to reflect some of the sun's rays back into outer space and keep our planet from reaching the dreaded 1.5-degrees celsius mark. This idea, known as stratospheric aerosol injection, mimics a natural global cooling phenomenon that can follow volcanic eruptions.
NASA's new tool for looking at our planet is seriously sophisticated. Called the Scientific Visualization Studio, the program referenced nearly a terabyte of data gathered from NASA's Goddard Earth Observing System Model to create an animation that produced petabytes (one million gigabytes) of output. The overall goal of this super-powered computational tool is to "promote a greater understanding of Earth and space science research," according to NASA.
Moooi Smacks Down Counterfeiters With New App
Cheating sucks, in relationships, in school, and definitely in business. Everyone, from individual designers to giant design houses, goes to great lengths to make sure their intellectual property stays out of the hands of counterfeiters, but Moooi may have found a solution that is foolproof and looks cool, too. Going forward, all Moooi products will come with a small floral button that contains a identifying microchip. Shoppers with the brand's new authentication app can scan the button and confirm if what they're looking at is a real Moooi product.
Water Abundance XPrize Winner Announced
The Water Abundance XPrize awarded two designers from California the $1.75 million prize purse for an invention that pulls drinkable water straight out of the air. Called WeDew, the winning project extracts moisture from its surroundings and transforms it into 2,000 liters of clean water per day, satisfying the daily needs of 100 people. It's composed of two devices, SkyWater and a biomass gasifier, and housed inside a shipping container.
In 2017, HIV/AIDS claimed nearly one million lives, with an additional 36.9 million people living with the disease. HIV is a treatable illness if caught early, but once it becomes AIDS it is fatal. A new device developed by product designer Hans Ramzan gives people in the developing world, where the majority of new HIV/AIDs cases emerge, the power to test themselves at home for the virus, removing dependence on foreign aid.
In the Future, Couples Will Break Up Over Everything Except Assembling Ikea Furniture
Ikea furniture may look innocuous, but it has a well-documented history of destroying new couples before they even leave the store. And when lovebirds do escape the commercial behemoth's clutches, they inevitably fall apart when it comes time to assemble the pieces. Two researchers from Nanyang Technological University in Singapore may have finally given couples everywhere a solution to the latter problem with a robot that can (partially) put together Ikea products in under a half-hour.
Carbon XPrize Contestants Transform CO2 Into Valuable Products
Carbon capture may be in its infancy, but it'll need to grow quickly if we're to rely on it to mitigate global climate change. The Carbon XPrize currently has ten teams competing for the $20 million purse prize. The goal is to transform captured carbon into products that can be used in the built environment, or as alternative fuels, or commercially available items.

Govt launches litigation policy to prevent repeat of Bhopal gas case
Launching the National Litigation Policy to make government an "efficient and a responsible" litigant, Law Minister M Veerappa Moily on Wednesday said monitoring and review mechanism proposed under it would prevent "delay or neglect" of important cases such as the Bhopal gas tragedy.
Moily said the Policy recognised the fact that the government and its various agencies were the predominant litigants in courts and tribunals in the country.
"Its (the policy's) aim to transform government into an efficient and a responsible litigant," he told a press conference in New Delhi.
Noting that the policy took into account the responsibility of the government to protect the rights of citizens and to respect fundamental rights, the Law Minister said those in-charge of the conduct of official litigation should never forget this basic principle.
Under the policy, Moily said the government would categorise and group court cases so that those contesting on behalf of the government could prioritise them.
"If this is in place, ultimately, constant review, prioritising and categorisation will track everything. Maybe cases like the Bhopal one will not be repeated in this country. That is the target of this (policy)," he said.
The Minister also noted that "a sensitised and sensitive" government would represent all these cases so that there was "no delay or neglect" at any stage (in cases like the Bhopal catastrophe).
Moily said these systems will be in place so that the delay witnessed in the Bhopal case did not become a norm as "justice delayed is justice buried."
Asked about the curative petition that the Group of Ministers (GoM) on the Bhopal case was considering, Attorney General GE Vahanvati, who was present, said the Law Minister had only made "a suggestion" before the GoM and it was not "a considered opinion".
Vahanvati said the GoM's report had to first go to the Cabinet, which had to approve the suggestion.
He claimed the 1996 Supreme Court order in the Bhopal gas leak case was "wrong as a matter of law."
Based on the available evidence, the Supreme Court had in 1996 reduced the charge against the accused in the Bhopal case from culpable homicide not amounting to murder to causing death by negligence.
"I am not criticising the judgement.... I am entitled to tell you that it is wrong. I say it as a matter of law. I believe there are contradictions in the judgement and there are lots of material that have come up post that judgement," he said.

- Like several other curious onlookers, the boy too was watching the earthmover in action when the mishap took place, the police said.
- Considering the possibility of quitting this occupation, he observes that “one of the good things of being an auto driver is that all your income is made in hard cash.

How is the clip tool different from the intersect tool in terms of how it works or the result? I don't have a specific situation in mind. I was learning about each of these tools and was curious about how they differ since the results seem to be very similar at first glance. Thanks!
There has been a recent trend towards questions asking for an explanation of the differences between tools. If you're using ESRI products the ArcGIS Online Help should be your first stop.
You can find full explanations of each tool:
In this case you will find that the Intersect tool will create output features which possess the attributes of all input features. Note that there can be multiple input features. The Clip tool only allows for one input feature and one clip feature and will therefore only output features containing the input feature attributes, not the clip features.
You cannot compare the two procedures.
The Intersection is a real Geoprocessing thing, stems from Venn-diagram (like Union, Difference). Has an impact on geometry and attributes (both layer attributes inherited) too.
The Clip is a complex method (collecting every touched (in Geomedia) or intersecting (in QGIS, Spatial Query) features in clip polygons, and save them) which does not effect the geometries and the attributes neither.
Touch returns features that touch the defined features in any way—meeting, overlapping, containing, or being contained by. - Working with GeoMedia Professional
The problem is that the GIS language is not standardized.
Look at these images created in QGIS 2.18.9:.

A journal dedicated to the scholarship of teaching and learning in the ‘global South’
Editor-in-chief | Zach Simpson – University of Johannesburg, South Africa
Managing Editor | Milton Milaras – University of Johannesburg, South Africa

The inimitable force behind both this journal and the inaugural 2017 SOTL in the South conference was our late editor-in-chief, Professor Brenda Leibowitz. Sadly, Brenda passed away on April 26, 2018. Brenda was a force for good in higher education, and in her work, she sought out a higher education space that was more caring of its participants: students and teachers alike. Her efforts were aimed at supporting academics – particularly young academics – to engage in scholarly teaching practice. Brenda was a friend, colleague, supervisor and mentor to all of us involved in SOTL in the South, and to many others, and we will miss her warmth and dynamism.
Dennis Banda was an inaugural member of the SOTL in the South editorial board. Sadly, Dennis passed away from COVID-19 on 12 February 2021. Dennis will be sorely missed by the SOTL in the South community for his humility and sense of humour as well as for his intelligence and contribution. His research, into topics such as decolonization of higher education, leaves an important legacy for scholarship in teaching and learning in Zambia and further afield.

India draws up own Google Earth plan
Space programme spin-off
India is planning to create its own version of Google Earth on the back of its successful moon mission.
The Indian Space Research Organisation launched Chandrayaan-1 last month - it will orbit the Moon for two years at a height of about 100km and carry out mineral and chemical surveys of the surface.
The mapping project, using Isro satellites, is called Bhuvan and should be up and running this month ahead of public launch in March.
V Jayaraman, a research director at Isro, told the FT: "We will introduce [Bhuvan] in phases. Over the next three to four months, the first lot [of map data] will come out and then more in a systematic manner."
Bhuvan claims to offer more detail than Google Earth and images will be updated more often - once a year. The basic service will be available free on the web but the agency may charge for higher resolution pictures. The Indian government will use the data for infrastructure and crop monitoring.
It is expected to be tied into an ongoing Indian project to develop its own GPS system.
Chandrayaan is due to drop its Moon Impact Probe in the next few days. The $83m project has led to criticism that the Indian government could be spending the money on alleviating poverty a little closer to home. ®

The 2 cardinal cell populations mediating adaptive immunity are T and B lymphocytes. These cells play important but poorly understood roles in the immunopathological demyelinating disease multiple sclerosis (MS) and in a widely used animal model of human MS known as EAE. In the current issue of the JCI, 2 research teams report their parallel studies of double-transgenic mice expressing T and B cell receptors that recognize the same myelin protein (see the related articles beginning on pages 2385 and 2393). More than half of the double-transgenic mice spontaneously developed autoimmune demyelination in their spinal cords and optic nerves, exhibiting pathologies reminiscent of human MS. The studies describe an important new model for MS research.

Video game retailer GameStop's consolidated global sales fell 6.8% compared to the last year. Comparable store sales declined 6.7%, with a 6.9% fall in the U.S. and a 6.3% decline outside the country.
The company continued to outperform the U.S. market with a 3.8% decline in new software sales compared to a market wide decline of 14.2%. The impending launch of the eighth generation of gaming consoles later this year is expected to revive hardware and software sales. However, hints provided by Microsoft that it might charge "pre-owned" fees for used games installed on its Xbox One have worried investors.
Our $35 price estimate for the company's stock is in line with the current market price.
Nearly half of the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 software sales in the U.S. are through GameStop. This has allowed the retailer to stay ahead of the market wide decline, which has resulted from console fatigue due to a prolonged console product cycle. While the U.S. video game market saw a 25% decline in hardware sales and a 21% decline in software sales through 2012, GameStop reported a 7% decline in sales for the fiscal year with a 17% decline in hardware sales and a 12% decline in new software sales.
Despite the poor performance of the Nintendo Wii U, the first eighth generation console launched last year, GameStop remains confident that the PS4 and Xbox One will provide a much needed boost to sales. Enthusiasm for the consoles seems to be high as GameStop has over 1.2 million customers signed up in its PS4 first-to-know list with the Xbox One list already having more than 250,000 customers signing up in the first few days after it was unveiled. We remain optimistic about the performance of the next-gen consoles and expect an increase in new video game software sales from 2014 onwards.
Video game hardware and software sales grew by 60% during the Xbox 360's first full year in the market while PS3 sales grew by 30%. Since a new cycle in expected to start next year, we can expect an increase in the market. However, we expect the increase to be lower this time considering that a lot of casual gamers would prefer to play games on the mobile phone or portable tablet devices.
Used Games A Worry
More than 30% of GameStop's revenues are generated through the sale of used video games. Higher margins on this revenue stream make it the biggest contributor to profits with over 40% of GameStop's gross profits coming from used video games. The decline in new software sales has led to a decline in inventory for used games leading to a fall in used game sales. Used game sales fell 8% year-on-year in the first quarter of 2013.
The introduction of the next-generation consoles will lead to a new trade cycle in the market. GameStop's pre-owned sales increased by 20% and 28% in the first two years of the last cycle (2007 and 2008), and the new cycle can be expected to revive sales. However, we expect the increase to be lower than the last time considering the growth of mobile gaming and Microsoft's decision to charge pre-owned fees.
Digital Sales A Sign Of Hope
GameStop reported a 47% increase in digital sales for the first quarter with a 44% growth in console digital sales and a 54% increase in PC digital sales. GameStop's digital sales have grown at a CAGR of 48% over the last two years surpassing $630 million in 2012. The company has been able to latch on the to the digital trend by pre-selling digital downloadable content and selling it on the day of launch. GameStop is working with game publishers to offer game-related items at the time of launch through its in-store web process.
There are more than 30 million members enrolled in GameStop's PowerUp, Megacard, EB World and GameStop Plus programs in the United States, Europe and Australia. The company's member base has helped it grow its digital business. We expect the trend to continue with an increase in digital sales in the coming years.

Lúcar, Sierra de las Estancias Village
Lúcar is located in the Sierra de las Estancias, in its southern side, facing Almanzora and Los Filabres, whose origin lies in its springs, which nowadays still constitute the most important attraction of this beautiful and quiet village distinguishable from far by the old clock tower that stands above the rest of the town.
Lúcar comes from the name of Latin origin, the word Lucus which means sacred grove or forest. In the Libro de Apeo y Población, 1571 this place is recorded like forest harvesting and Madoz said in 1848 that “it has pines and scrublands of fuel and charcoal.”
We have collected evidences of the existence of this town in Roman times, and even in prehistoric times. After the Christian conquest in the late XV century, the Catholic Monarchs give this town the master of the house of Aguilar, Alonso Fernández de Córdoba.
Before the Moorish revolts in 1568 this village had 621 Moriscos and 5 old Christians. After the expulsion of the Moorish from the Kingdom of Granada in 1570, it was repopulated by people from outside it as stipulated in the pragmatics of Philip II.
In the middle of the XIX century Madoz speaks about the existence of linen mills and soap and an important mining activity, abandoned nowadays, with the extraction of copper, malachite and azurite.
In our century, in the 60’s, part of the population is forced to emigrate. Nowadays its economy is based on the cultivation of olive and almond trees, the forest exploitation and a mining license in memory of others granted in the last century.
Barriada y Fuente de Cela
The dishes in Lúcar are an example of the gastronomic quality in the Alto Almanzora, we can emphasize some of them: Potaje blanco. Garlic soup. Migas. Olla de trigo. Gurullos. Porridge. Stewed leg of lamb. Hornazos.
Lúcar – How to get there
You have to exit Almería towards: N-340 – Murcia – Ronda de Almería – A-92 – Granada. Take the exit towards: Salida 453 – Viátor – Base Militar La Legión – A-92 – Guadix – Granada.

What is The Little Prince?
The Little Prince, or Le Petit Prince in French, is a beloved novella written by Antoine de Saint-Exupry first published in 1943. It follows the story of a small extraterrestrial prince who visits Earth and meets different characters as he tries to understand the world around him. This book has become one of the most translated books in history and has been adapted into films, plays, operas, and other media.
The protagonist of the story is the Little Prince himself. He travels from his planet to Earth and meets a fox, a desert flower seller, and a variety of adults on his journey who offer their own perspectives on life.
The Little Prince explores themes such as love, friendship, death, loneliness, and freedom. Through its simple yet profound writing it conveys valuable life lessons including appreciating beauty in all forms and cherishing relationships with others.
The Little Prince has had multiple adaptations over the years. Most recently it was made into an animated film which premiered at Cannes Film Festival in 2015. There have also been several musical adaptations produced since its publication.Analysis of The Little Prince’s Characters and Plot
Antoine de Saint-Exupery’s classic novel, The Little Prince, tells the story of a young prince who visits Earth from his home planet and meets a variety of characters who teach him important lessons about life. The Little Prince is an innocent and child-like figure who is wise beyond his years yet naive in some ways. He is joined by other characters such as The Fox, who teaches the Little Prince about love; The Rose, who serves as a reminder for him to never forget his home planet; and The Snake, who helps him understand death. As the story progresses, the Little Prince learns important truths about life that help him grow wiser.
The Little Prince is a timeless classic because it speaks to both children and adults with its simple yet powerful messages about life. Its characters are unique yet relatable while its storyline encourages readers to think deeply about their own lives. This enduring novel continues to be popular today due to its profound themes that can be applied to many different situations.
Themes and Symbolism in The Little Prince
The Little Prince, written by Antoine de Saint-Exupry, is a classic novella for both children and adults. It tells the story of a pilot who meets an extraterrestrial boy on an asteroid who calls himself The Little Prince. As they embark on their journey together, they explore various themes such as love, friendship, and mortality.
The Little Prince is full of symbolism that resonates with readers of all ages. One of the most prominent symbols in the book is the baobab tree. This tree symbolizes how destructive our fears can be if we don’t take action to stop them; it also serves as a reminder that our lives are fragile and we should appreciate them while we have them.
The Fox is another important symbol in The Little Prince. He represents friendship and loyalty; he teaches the little prince about how to make friends and to always be loyal to those he loves. The fox also serves as a reminder that even though life may seem unfulfilling at times, there are always people who will care and look out for us.
One of the most prominent themes in The Little Prince is mortality. Throughout the course of their journey, the little prince realizes how fleeting life can be. By witnessing death firsthand, he learns to appreciate life’s beauty rather than take it for granted.

Patrick Ekema, Mayor of Buea urban council .
The indisciplined Governor of the South West Region and the insensitive Mayor of Buea Council are desperate to see the participation of schools on Saturday 11th of February Plebiscite day.
Reports reaching our News Desk reveal that mayor Ekema has connived with a business publicity guru, named Bony Dashaco who just donated 10millions FCFA cash to the Mayor to share to schools that will turnout to march. They have equally organised to pay youths from neighbouring towns Douala to march in Buea.
This treacherous act is being backed by the imperial Yaounde-appointed governor who officially termed West Cameroonians as “Boko Haram” in order to justify the rape, abduction and other atrocities committed by forces under his command.
It should be noted that since the start of the strike in the Anglophone regions of Cameroon, Ekema has shamelessly identified himself with the likes of Atanga Nji Paul and Mafany Musonge whom the people have labelled as traitors and are earnestly seeking to have their pound of flesh.
With these continuous acts of state terror against the population, the people have opted to remain indoors and observe ghost towns in order to protect their lives.

plug into life beyond existence
I think the secret to life is that we exist ... until we choose to live. We 'are' until we 'are not' and we 'won't' until we 'do'. Life is not meant to be easy or there is no meaning to the words accomplishment, vacation or relaxing. Life is not the same for everyone. Life is not a pay check or a car or a family photo with more than 2 faces in it. believe it or not, love is not LIFE. Happy IS however, and when you can see the difference between those two things you are a better and stronger person. Too many times we jumble up existing and living, I am guilty of that myself. I think existing is what we do to live. Today... I think I will try and live as much as I can and hope that tomorrow I can do the same.

Ángel Marqués Avila. Journalist
The end of summer and beginning of fall bring with them an extraordinary show from nature: bellowing. For weeks, male deer, in heat, howl to attract females and boast new antlers, which develop between spring and summer. This ritual of pairing up is a basic part of survival of the species and is also a tourist draw that offers many economic advantages to lots of rural areas.
A natural resource and an economic driver
In fact, hunting, which is vital for the existence of wild meat, has an economic impact of 6.475 billion euros in Spain, accounting for 0.3% of GDP and equivalent to 13% of the GDP generated by the agricultural sector, according to a report from Fundación Artemisan.
Hunting raises public funds to the tune of 614 million euros, of which 33% comes from fees and taxes paid directly by hunters, masters of hounds and hunting area managers, which amount to 201.4 million euros. Every euro spent on game generates a 1.80 euro contribution to domestic GDP.
Hunting is essential for the production of wild game, a subsector which led to 20,922,143 catches worth 89,931,973 euros, according to the most recent official data from the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food. Moreover, spending by those involved in the hunting segment generated returns of over 412 million euros for the Spanish Treasury for corporate tax, income tax and value added tax.
For the Chairman of the Interprofessional Game Meat Association (ASICCAZA), Florencio Rodríguez, in Spain the main message for consumers is that game is "a unique meat, as it comes from wild animals, because it's 100% natural, and it's something everyone can eat."
Hunting is one of the economic activities that has increased its revenue the most in Spain in recent years. The sector is estimated to have grown by 40% in the last four years, and now it is one of the leading drivers of Spain's rural economy.
In Spain, around 400,000 pieces of big game are caught, mainly boar, deer, roe deer and fallow deer, of which around 300,000 are sold and the rest is consumed. As for small game, almost everything that's hunted, around 20 million pieces, is eaten and just half a million pieces are sold, most of which is partridge, rabbit and hare, according to the latest data from the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food.
Hunting in Spain led to 5.470 billion euros in annual spending, and raised 6.475 billion euros for GDP, i.e. it accounted for 0.3% of Spain's GDP. Spain's hunting industry involves a large socio-economic sector from throughout the country and thousands of people depend on it. According to data from the National Hunting Office (ONC), it creates around 54,000 jobs annually and involves 5 million people, either directly or indirectly, from a range of sectors including distribution, food and catering. Additionally, tourism related to hunting raises large amounts of money each year all over Spain. According to the ONC, the hunts that generate the most money in Spain, among Spanish and foreign hunters, are partridges, which account for 306 million euros per year, followed by other types of small game. Large game hunts that raise the most money are for deer (170 million euros).
What is wild game?
For centuries, nature has maintained one of the greatest gastronomic gems of all times: game.
The traditional classification of these types of meat distinguishes between furred game and, depending on the size, big game (boar, roe and fallow deer) or small game (hare, rabbit), and feathered game (partridge, pigeon, quail, Eurasian woodcock and duck).
In Spain, the bulk of production comes from the following species. Big game: deer, boar, roe and fallow deer, and mouflon. Small game: rabbit, partridge, hare and duck. The main difference between wild game and other species for slaughter are their organoleptic qualities and the fact that their meat is firmer. The red color is darker and they also have a unique flavor. The nutritional composition of wild game varies considerably, depending on the species and the food it eats. Broadly speaking, it has less fat and, therefore, contains slightly more protein with high biological value. It also has specific sensorial characteristics that make it unique, such as an intense flavor and attractive red color, as each piece reveals its unique qualities. They have a vitamin B content similar to that of animals for slaughter. They are rich in iron, phosphorous, magnesium and potassium, and are a popular food among people with anemia.
An activity tied to the land
Wild meat production has ties to the land, where huntable species are raised, managed and hunted and are then sold. These areas are primarily located in the regions of Extremadura, Castile-La Mancha and Andalusia, although northern Spain is becoming a notable producer of boar, with the result that there are opportunities for growth by companies in the north.
As a result, those three regions have developed an extensive industrial fabric in connection with wild meat, and it's where most of the cutting rooms, responsible for collecting, processing and distributing this product, are located. In Spain there are less than 50 companies dedicated to wild meat sales. The bulk of cutting rooms in Spain are equipped with the latest technology. They are very professional companies which ensure that products are high-quality and, together with the extensive hygiene and sanitary monitoring, guarantee that the game sold is suitable.
María Navarro González-Valerio, Deputy Director General of Promoción Alimentaria says that, despite the fact that the product has been devalued considerably in recent years, this natural resource is an important cultural, social and economic activity which sustains the rural economy in many Spanish villages. The Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food links wild game production to rural development and environmental conservation policies. As a result, the government has supported the creation of a National Hunting Strategy to help develop an indicative framework and coordinate all players to organize management of the hunting industry.
One of the places where wild game creates the most wealth is in rural areas, where 80% of Spain is suitable for hunting. In fact, this will be a key issue for the economic recovery and development of those areas in the coming years. "Hunting is essential for the development, sustainability and potential growth of rural environments in Spain," says Luis Pérez Ullivarri, Executive Director of Myhuntbook.
The Interprofessional Game Meat Association (ASICCAZA) is the leading organization of its kind. As an NGO, it aims to represent and defend the common interests of producers and companies in the wild meat industry. The organization includes entities involved in the areas of environmental preservation and gastronomy, among others, so that everyone in the sector works together to provide solutions. ASICCAZA is working to regularize the sector and make it into a viable market by enhancing wild game and promoting consumption. This will allow for game to be sold at real prices, combating the slide seen in recent years. The hunting industry is a source of revenue that sustains rural economies in a large number of villages throughout Spain, providing many jobs and several million euros per year. In view of this, we must ensure that it is maintained and work to raise the profile of wild game. The organization is tasked with improving the quality of products from processes involved in the agri-food chain, among other things. To that end, it has been certified by Calidez, the leading quality seal for wild game in Spain, since 2009.

Windows Central Verdict
This is an ideal accessory for anyone with a Nintendo Switch and a Steam Deck or ROG Ally. The dock's design is small and compact enough for travel, and it provides plenty of ports so you can connect various accessories to your gaming handhelds. Quickly set it up, and then you'll be ready to swap between the two connected devices. Just note that only one device will receive a charge at a time, and the white lighting in front of the dock cannot be turned off.
Compact and easy to travel with
Quickly facilitates device swapping between Nintendo Switch and other tech
Offers plenty of ports
Simple setup within minutes
Comes with USB-C cable for Steam Deck, ROG Ally, or other devices
Cannot turn lights off on the front of the dock
Doesn't prop the Steam Deck up
Only one device receives a charge at a time
Must supply your own HDMI cable
Why you can trust Windows Central
More often than not, I play on my couch or in bed with my handheld in hand, but sometimes, I prefer to connect these devices to a TV or monitor and play with an external controller. In these situations, having a reliable dock is important.
Nintendo Switch and Steam Deck are the most popular gaming handhelds on the market right now, so it's no surprise that a number of third-party docks are made for either handheld.
What is surprising is that Unitek decided to make a TV dock specifically marketed to swap between both handhelds and thus save you some room on your TV stand. This dock can even display your laptop, ROG Ally, tablet, or phone on a TV or monitor. But is the Unitek TV Dock Station for Nintendo Switch and Steam Deck worth buying? Let's find out.
Disclaimer: This review was made possible thanks to a review unit provided by Unitek. The company did not see the contents of this review before publishing.
Unitek TV Dock for Nintendo Switch and Steam Deck: Price and availability
Considering it connects to two devices and offers multiple ports, the Unitek TV Dock Station is well-priced at $50.99. As of the last time I checked, this product was not listed on the Unitek website (although there is a Nintendo Switch dock there that looks very similar). From what I can tell, the only place to purchase the Unitek TV Dock for Nintendo Switch and Steam Deck is at Amazon, where, at the time of writing this, there was a 20% off coupon available for it. So, there's a chance you could grab it at a discount.
This really isn't a bad price at all considering that many Nintendo Switch docks and Steam Deck docks sell for roughly $50 on their own. So getting something that can display both in one device at the same price point is really nice.
Unitek TV Dock for Nintendo Switch and Steam Deck: What I like
As I previously mentioned, I own a few gaming handhelds, and because of that, I've had both a Nintendo Switch dock and a PC gaming handheld dock on my TV stand for the last year. You can imagine how cluttered this has made my entertainment space, with various cables running everywhere. Once I got the Unitek TV dock for review, I could consolidate from two docks down to just one dock with its cables, which freed up an extra power outlet spot as well as one of my TV's HDMI slots. Altogether, it helped my TV stand look cleaner and more organized.
The Unitek Dock is slightly longer and wider than a standard phone, measuring 7.44 by 3.86 by 2.44 inches. Brick-like in design, when the hinge is closed, it offers a compact shape that's easy to travel with. If I take it anywhere, I'll need to cover the rear ports so that nothing gets in there and damages them in transit.
Speaking of ports, plenty are available to make connecting my various gaming accessories easier. In the case of my Steam Deck, I plugged in wireless dongles for both a mouse and keyboard and could play games that way. There are three USB-A 3.0 ports, a 100 Mb/s Ethernet port, an HDMI 2.0 port, and a USB-C PD charging port on the back of the Unitek TV Dock. Above these ports are four larger slots that can hold Nintendo Switch game cartridges.
I love the Unitek TV Dock for Nintendo Switch and Steam Deck's simple design. Unlike some other gaudy and flashy gaming handheld docks out there, this one looks good on any TV stand and simply glows a constant white in an X and O shape on either side. It would have been nicer if the lights could get turned off, but I'll take it over rapid and tacky-looking RGB that distracts from your TV — where your attention should be.
A hinge along the top of the casing pivots open to reveal a Switch docking area with a USB-C connection. The hinge opens and shuts easily, doubling as a stand to prop the Switch up when the handheld is inserted. Rubber pads on this hinged part prevent Nintendo's system from moving around while installed, which is a nice, secure touch. During the hours I tested this dock, I never had problems installing or removing the Switch from its designated spot. The USB-C connection is sturdy and gets protected by closing the hinge when the Switch is removed.
Meanwhile, a USB-C port on the right side of the Unitek TV Dock is labeled as Host B. This is where you plug in the included USB-C cable and run it to your Steam Deck, ROG Ally, or other compatible device capable of video output. A small A/B button is located next to this port and swaps power between the Switch USB-C connection and this Steam Deck port.
For power, I plugged the Steam Deck adapter into the Unitek Dock, which served both the Switch and my Steam Deck well. While the Unitek TV Dock does come with a USB-C cable, it doesn't come with an HDMI cable, so you'll need to supply one yourself. At first, I attempted to use the HDMI cable that came with my Switch, but it wasn't powerful enough to display the Steam Deck, so I had to swap it out for another one.
After pushing the A/B button, it does take a few seconds before the dock swaps between either handheld, but the A/B button is easy to access, and the dock functions well when a system is displayed.
The Unitek TV Dock for Nintendo Switch and Steam Deck can display up to 4K at 60Hz and supports HDR. This is interesting, considering Switch and Steam Deck are 60Hz devices, but neither can authentically support 4K. As such, during my testing, I never had any video quality issues; my Switch and Steam Deck games displayed constantly and at a resolution level that I'd expect from either device.
Something to note is that only one device will receive a charge at a time — the one currently selected for display. So, for instance, if I set the Unitek TV Dock to display my Steam Deck, then it will receive a charge, while the Switch doesn't receive any juice. Swapping to the Switch will see power sent to Nintendo's hybrid system. As such, you might need to unplug the unused device and plug it into a different power source when not in use to keep it charged up and ready to go.
Unitek TV Dock for Nintendo Switch and Steam Deck: What I don't like
Since the Unitek Dock doubles as a Switch stand, I expect it would be able to prop up the Steam Deck or ROG Ally as well, but this is not the case. The slot isn't large enough for these thicker handhelds, which just slide out of place if I try to put them against the stand.
What's more, the USB-C port could get damaged if I set something other than the Switch on it. So, the Steam Deck (or another device) either needs to lie flat somewhere next to the Unitek Dock, or you can provide your own stand to keep it propped up. This really isn't the worst thing in the world, but it's still something to be aware of.
Unitek TV Dock for Nintendo Switch and Steam Deck: Competition
To be honest, the Unitek TV Dock's dual gaming handheld connection design is rather unique. However, there are plenty of gaming handheld docks out there intended for just one system.
Over the years, the team here at Windows Central has taken a look at quite a few gaming handheld docks. One of our favorite brands is JSAUX. Just a quick look at this JSAUX Steam Deck dock review shows that it is affordable at $50 and provides a good range of ports to meet your gaming needs. JSAUX offers various dock options for Steam Deck, so you can choose one with more ports if that serves your needs better.
Unitek has also released a gaming handheld dock with built-in fans to help keep your device cool. You can learn more by looking at my Unitek Cooling Dock review, but the gist is that it costs $61.99 to buy from Amazon and it offers RGB lighting. There are also ports on both the front and back of this dock to help you connect your various accessories to it.
Unitek TV Dock for Nintendo Switch and Steam Deck: Should you buy it?
You should buy this if...
- You own a Nintendo Switch as well as another device that you want to display on a TV or monitor.
- You'd like a dock that provides plenty of ports for your Switch, Steam Deck, or other devices.
- You're looking for a TV dock that looks good and is easy to transport.
You should not buy this if...
- You don't intend to play your gaming handhelds on a TV or monitor.
- You specifically want a dock that offers cooling fans.
- You'd prefer a setup where both connected handhelds are charged simultaneously.
There's no denying that the Unitek TV Dock Station for Nintendo Switch and Steam Deck is a somewhat niche accessory, but it's one that will be very useful to those who want it. I've long dealt with having both a Switch docking station and a PC gaming handheld docking station on my TV stand, but now I've consolidated to just one. It makes the area cleaner and tidier with fewer cables going everywhere. So, if you often want to connect multiple devices to your TV, and one of them happens to be a Switch, then I definitely recommend this accessory to you.
The Unitek TV Dock is well-priced, looks good, and functions well too. There are plenty of ports for connecting various devices to either handheld (or any other device you connect). It would have been nicer if the white lights on the front of the dock could be turned off, and I do wish that the dock could prop up my Steam Deck, but these aren't deal breakers by any means.
If you own a Nintendo Switch and another gaming handheld or any other device that you might want to display on TV then this dock can make things easier for you. Set your Switch into place and then connect another piece of tech with the included USB-C cable. You'll be able to swap between displaying either one on your TV with the press of the A/B button.

A middle school in Rockford, Mich., has...
Sometimes two heads are better than one—and that’s exactly what the newly created Pentair Residential Filtration plans to prove going forward. Pentair, Inc. and General Electric Co. (GE) announced in late-June the finalization of a joint venture between their residential water-treatment businesses, which in 2007 had combined sales of $450 million.
Pentair, headquartered in Golden Valley, Minn., will have strategic control of the venture with 80% stake and GE with 20%. What will now be called Pentair Residential Filtration will be headquartered in the Milwaukee area and have a combined staff of roughly 1,100 in 15 facilities in the U.S., Europe and China.
Currently, Pentair has 1,460 employees at three locations in the Milwaukee, Wis., area, including 260 employees at its residential water filtration operations in Brookfield; 400 at its commercial filtration division in Sheboygan; and 800 at its pump division in Delavan. GE’s residential water purification business is based in Glendale, Wis., and has 120 employees.
Along with the joint venture will come restructuring on the part of both parent companies. For instance, Pentair announced it will close its Sheboygan plant in 2009 as well as a former GE residential filtration plant in Rockford, Ill., and will move that work to Milwaukee area facilities and to plants overseas during the next 12 to 18 months.
With GE’s trusted product brand and Pentair’s expansive distribution channels, these two parent companies bring synergies to the table that will influence the water treatment industry and consumers alike.
“It’s fabulous because [this joint venture] brings two strong players together to invest in new technologies to provide clean water to consumers,” said Alok Maskara, president, Pentair Residential Filtration.
The Perfect Storm
In a residential market that is already down, news of the joint venture may have left some dealers, distributors and OEMs wondering if a move of this scale among two of the industry’s largest manufacturers would have an affect on their business and in what ways. As it turns out, a move such as this may be exactly what this industry needs right now.
“We are in a place right now where we have the perfect storm brewing,” said Samuel Karge, global director of marketing, Pentair Residential Filtration. “We have a down residential market in North America, new international competition coming in, and on top of it all, we have this need to change technology—a need for more efficient, green technologies.”
With all of these drivers coming together at once, it was becoming increasingly difficult for independent companies—such as GE Water & Process Technologies and Pentair—to weather the storm on their own. “We weren’t big enough by ourselves to do what we need to do to address these issues across the board,” Karge said.
With a combined team of engineers and other staff members, these two companies working together now have the opportunity to develop new technologies that will address current industry challenges head-on. “We’ve put the resources together—all of the top minds from GE together with the top minds from Pentair—and instead of fighting over a little piece of the pie, we are saying ‘what can we do together to help the market overall in the end?’” Karge said. “We’re looking at new technologies, green technologies to address this residential downturn head-on.”
Dealers & Distributors
While innovation and technology may be changing for the better, dealer programs associated with these two parent companies will remain the same for the time being. “Our intent going forward is to maintain both dealer programs,” Karge said. “There are a number of dealers who have built their business around the Autotrol brand product line and those who built their business around the Fleck brand product line. Our goal here is to maintain both programs so we can continue to provide both dealer groups with the programs they need to be successful.”
For dealers who are a part of either the GE Platinum Dealer Network or Pentair’s Velocity program, the joint venture is sure to benefit their businesses. “This will be a significant benefit for dealers because it will give them a better sense of security knowing they are partnering with a company that has so much technology,” Maskara said. “They will be able to sell better point-of-entry and point-of-use systems, get access to more technology and innovation, and get a better end-product as a result of the joint venture.”
And as far as the OEMs and distributors are concerned, the company is currently in the process of working with and getting feedback from all of its customers. “We’re talking with them right now to find out what it is we can do as a joint business that will positively impact them,” Karge said. “There are a lot of options out there, and our goal is to offer our OEMs and distributors a real broad offering of products and technologies. The exact details are still being formulated because we’re still asking our customers. We’ve collected an exciting and innovative mix of what they want to see, but we’re going to keep getting feedback for the next couple of months. Our goal here is not to act quickly and make assumptions about what our customers want, it’s to really figure out what it is they want and need to be successful.”
Because this joint venture will offer both Pentair and GE product lines, OEM and distributors will now have more opportunities available to their businesses. “OEMs are looking for innovation too,” Maskara said, “and they are starting to look abroad for this. With the joint venture, we can become stronger partners with OEMs by providing new opportunities from a global perspective. They will now be able to buy a greater variety of products because both GE and Pentair technology solutions are available to them. There now is a better supply chain because the new company increases the product offerings available—they can go to simply one company now.”
As far as company branding goes, both Karge and Maskara agree that this is still in the works. “There are two ways to look at branding,” Maskara said, “company branding and product branding. Pentair is in control of 80% and that will be the company name. For product branding—at this point—products can carry the GE brand if dealers and OEMs think it is a value to their business by using the GE name.
We are getting input from dealers and OEMs, and we are open to feedback and would love to know how we can better serve the industry.”
Room to Grow
One area of opportunity that this joint venture will put a lot of investment toward, according to Karge, is international growth to help meet the water quality improvement needs of consumers throughout the world. Within North America, the company would like to invest in next-generation technologies. “There hasn’t been a real breakthrough technology in this industry in years,” he said. “We’ve had what I call incremental product improvements, but no breakthrough technologies.”
With two combined teams working together as one, the opportunity for innovation now exists in a feasible way. “Now we can work on those new technologies and we can do it in a green sort of way,” Karge said. “I’m extremely excited about this going forward—there’s a real opportunity for Pentair Residential Filtration to have a positive impact on the water quality improvement industry, benefiting both consumers and industry partners.”


As mentioned in Btrfs on the server, we have been using btrfs as our primary filesystem for our servers for the last year and a half or so, and, for the most part, it’s been great. There have only been a few times that we’ve needed the snapshots that btrfs gives us for free, but when we did, we really needed them.
At the end of the last school year, we had a bit of a problem with the servers and came close to losing most of our shared data, despite using DRBD as a network mirror. In response to that, we set up a backup server which has the sole job of rsyncing the data from our primary servers nightly. The backup server is also using btrfs and doing nightly snapshots, so one of the major use-cases behind putting btrfs on our file servers has become redundant.
The one major problem we’ve had with our file servers is that, as the number of systems on the network has increased, our user data server can’t handle the load. The configuration caching filesystem (CCFS) I wrote has helped, but even with CCFS, our server was regularly hitting a load of 10 during breaks and occasionally getting as high as 20.
Switching to GlusterFS
With all this in mind, I decided to do some experimenting with GlusterFS. While we may have had high load on user data server, our local mirror and shared data servers both had consistently low loads, and I was hoping that GlusterFS would help me spread the load between the three servers.
The initial testing was very promising. When using GlusterFS over ext4 partitions using SSD journaling on just one server, the speed was just a bit below NFS over btrfs over DRBD. Given the distributed nature of GlusterFS, adding more servers should increase the speed linearly.
So I went ahead and broke the DRBD mirroring for our eight 2TB drives and used the four secondary DRBD drives to set up a production GlusterFS volume. Our data was migrated over, and we used GlusterFS for a week without any problems. Last Friday, we declared the transition to GlusterFS a success, wiped the four remaining DRBD drives, and added them to the GlusterFS volume.
I started the rebalance process for our GlusterFS volume Friday after school, and it continued to rebalance over the weekend and through Monday. On Monday night, one of the servers crashed. I went over to the school to power cycle the server, and, when it came back up, continued the rebalance.
Tuesday morning, when I checked on the server, I realized that, as a result of the crash, the rebalance wasn’t working the way it should. Files were being removed from the original drives but not being moved to the new drives, so we were losing files all over the place.
After an emergency meeting with the principal (who used to be the school’s sysadmin before becoming principal), we decided do ditch GlusterFS and go back to NFS over ext4 over DRBD. We copied over the files from the GlusterFS partitions, and then filled in the gaps from our backup server. Twenty-four sleepless hours later, the user data was back up and the shared data was up twenty-four sleepless hours after that.
- Keep good backups. Our backups allowed us to restore almost all of the files that the GlusterFS rebalance had deleted. The only files lost were the ones created on Monday.
- Be conservative about what you put into production. I’m really not good at this. I like to try new things and to experiment with new ideas. The problem is that I can sometimes put things into production without enough testing, and this is one result.
- Have a fallback plan. In this case, our fallback was to wipe the server and restore all the data from the backup. It didn’t quite come to that as we were able to recover most of the data off of GlusterFS, but we did have a plan if it did.
- Avoid GlusterFS. Okay, maybe this isn’t what I should have learned, but I’ve already had one bad experience with GlusterFS a couple of years ago where its performance just wasn’t up to scratch. For software that’s supposedly at a 3.x.x release, it still seems very beta-quality.
The irony of this whole experience is that by switching the server filesystems from btrfs to ext4 with SSD journals, the load on our user data server has dropped to below 1.0. If I’d just made that switch, I could have avoided two days of downtime and a few sleepless nights.

Planning on changing out our current Tire Monitor System and at the same time expand it to all 12 wheels when were in Toad mode. (System came stock with only 6 tires monitored, with the Tag missing. So will go with 8 for the rig, and four for the Toad.)
I like the concept of the the CrossFires for the duals. I suppose thes means I could go with one sensor for pressure per drive axle side. However, the tire temperature readings is also something I like to monitor.
Though I do not like to dismount a tire that is not being reparied or replaced. I do feel and 'in wheel' temperature sensor is preferred. So was wondering how those with CrossFire's get both tire temperatures, and do you do one Pressure Test off of the CrossFire, or is their a pass thru option to put inline from each wheel to the CrossFire? (Sorry if what I asked is not clear, as I know what I'm asking - just not positive how to word it
Best to all, and appreciate any input,
(Note: We have the first generation Smart Tire on 6 out of 8 of our Rigs tires. The batteries are at end of life (Sept 2003 build date of the coach, so the chassis wheels/tires/SmartTire were probably installed before then.). I have found sources to replace these, but our monitor is not expandible to 8 tires (from what I have been able to find out) and have not option for toad/trailer added tires. So, figure it is time to replace the full system.)

Schools and colleges will get at least two weeks’ notice before pupils return to the classroom in order to give pupils, parents and teachers time to prepare, the Education Secretary has said.
Speaking to the media this morning, Gavin Williamson made clear that in order to give schools, pupils and parents time to get ready for the return to school, they would all be given two weeks’ notice ahead of them opening to more pupils. Schools and colleges have been closed to all but children of critical workers and vulnerable pupils since early this month.
Speaking to Sky News, the Education Secretary said:
What we’ll be wanting to do is give schools as much notice as possible so teachers can get ready, children can get ready and parents need to know in order to manage their lives. So we want to give all schools a clear two weeks’ notice period. One of the key criteria is whether the pressure on the NHS has started to lift, that’s why we had to take the national decision in the national interest, one that I never wanted to take to see schools closed again.
“We would want to give all schools a clear two-week notice period.”

Today marks a milestone: I will turn in the very last book in my first contracted series, to my editor. This is the end of a beginning that has opened up a huge, gaping hole.
Why? Because that book was also my very last contracted book, period. I have no more. Nothing else. Nada. Zip.
It makes me feel like this:
Yeah, it feels strange. Like, I have no deadlines ahead of me (except for editing this beast I just turned in).Of course, I keep pondering that maybe...just maybe...I'll never have another contract. O_O. No one will want me. OMG, whatifIneverwriteanotherbookthatanyonewantstobuy?
There is a nice, fluffy sense of freedom associated with fulfilling all the contracts. My writing platform is wide open. I can write whatever I want! I canwriteallthethings!
In the meantime, I'll be over here with a chocolate cake. And some Doritos. And wine. Lots of wine. And cake. Did I mention...
Stress eating is a thing. You should (n't) try it sometime.
In the meantime, look for my next two releases: THE FIREFIGHTER'S APPEAL comes out August 1st, 2014, and PAINT RIVER RANCH #3, comes out in November, 2014. After that...
I'll have to get back to you. :)

Live music has made its comeback! More and more live shows have started popping up all over town, and it is an extremely exciting time. As we all have been inside for so long, going to shows has been nothing but a distant dream. Here we are now, back to dancing our hearts out with a room full of strangers. It doesn't get any better than that. The artist Dayglow had a show at the Roseland Theater on September 23 here in the beautiful city of Portland. I only knew one Dayglow song when I bought the ticket, but the idea of a live show was too exciting to pass up. When I arrived at the venue I was immediately reminded of the things I have been missing. Right down to eagerly waiting to get your ticket at will-call, realizing you are wearing the same outfit as every other teenager in line, walking into the venue to take in all the sights, and of course, wishing you had gone to the bathroom before you left.
The lights come on, the crowd gets loud, and suddenly you blend in with this mass of people. You are free to dance your heart out like no one’s watching... because no one is. Dayglow gave an incredible performance. Sloan Struble’s music is fun and warm- it's the perfect music to jump around to. Struble’s hit song, “Can I Call You Tonight”, has become a widely known and loved song. It is light and catchy, with an infectious groove that gets you dancing.
At one point during the show, Struble directed the crowd to turn to the people around them and make some new friends. I found myself meeting incredible people with amazing stories to tell. I met someone who had just moved to Portland that very day, two friends coming from Eugene, someone from my hometown I had never met, someone who was very open and told me his entire life story, and so many more new friends. Live shows are very bonding and it becomes a community for as long as you're there. The whole crowd has a shared love of the music, and each person comes together to create a special memory for everyone. Live music has been missed, and now that it is coming back we can start to listen to music in one of its absolute best forms.

Iranian officials announced their readiness to transform their “fifth-generation” stealth aircraft into a UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) before the end of February.
According to 19fortyfive, Tehran has become a leading producer of drones, but the country’s aviation industry has fallen behind. Since the Iranian Air Force continues to use an updated version of the F-14 Tomcat, its claimed capabilities seem overstated at best.
The Qaher, according to Iranian authorities, can carry a 4,400lb bomb or at least six missiles. Tehran’s previous defense minister said the UAV could fly at low altitudes, carry various Iranian weapons, and have a tiny radar-cross section.
Experts and aviation enthusiasts have mostly discounted Iran’s claims for various reasons. Iran has now revealed photos and videos of their brand-new, top-tier fighter. One video shows an Iranian pilot crouching in the jet’s cockpit, which is too tiny to fly a human person.
The internal cargo cannot be transported by the Qaher because there is no room for a pilot. The analytical and sensing technology needed to create the fighter’s stated capabilities were also beyond Iran’s technological reach.
The Qaher’s nose appears to have a similarly major fault in its construction. Because of the nose’s size, there wasn’t much room for radar within. Without a nozzle, the engine’s afterburners would melt the entire fighter’s airframe.
The report reveals that the Qaher was never intended to be a 5th-generation stealth fighter aircraft, but it may see new life as an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). The drone program run by the Iranian leadership has grown more deadly. Iran has increased its investment in unmanned aerial vehicle research and development as its missile defense program has grown. Iran has perfected the production and distribution of low-cost, low-tech, but lethal drones to its regional proxy organizations during the past ten years or so.
Recently, Iran has sold many deadly drones to the Russian Armed Forces.
According to a report, the Shahed 131 and 136 are single-use kamikaze drones that Iran has sold to Russia as an affordable substitute for cruise missiles.
The Mohajer-6 is a multi-role drone that can be used for collecting intelligence and can carry a missile payload, both of which Russia has shown interest in purchasing.


well Im working on this single shot disposible rocket launcher. Altfire is a 2x zoom, and you have to zoom to fire it. Its rocket desigend for anti armor. Does 150 damage to people(even though armor) and 3x that to vehicles and nodes.
It currently fires a rocket with similar effects to the Lavathens rockets, and has an explosion 3x the times of the standard rocket.
Im thinking I am going to start everyone off with one. What do you guys think?
Peace through superior firepower.

If there is anything that should get Democrats excited this year is the prospect that Donald Trump is going to end up being the Republican Presidential nominee. I cannot think of a candidate that provides a greater contrast between the Republican Tea Party and Democrats when it comes to policy and the ability to govern. Nominating Donald Trump will be an implosion of a political party that has not been seen in modern US politics.
Every Democrat running for almost any office will be able to point to Trump and run against him instead of their actual opponent this November. The argument will be simple for November, “Do you trust a party that selected Trump as the their best candidate? ” Continue reading
