New Delhi: Top leaders of BJP and RSS met here on Monday to discuss the political situation, particularly in the wake of row over the new land bill and controversies surrounding the coalition government in Jammu and Kashmir.
Ways to strengthen the party's base in various states like poll-bound Bihar and analysis of debacle in Delhi assembly polls were also on the agenda of the meeting that took place at the residence of Transport Minister Nitin Gadkari.
The meeting was attended by BJP chief Amit Shah, party general secretaries Ram Lal and Ram Madhav, besides union ministers Rajnath Singh, Sushma Swaraj, Arun Jaitley and Gadkari.
From the RSS side, the Sangh's second-in-command and general secretary Suresh Bhayyaji Joshi, besides joint general secretaries Krishan Gopal, the RSS pointsman with BJP and Suresh Soni were present.
While RSS leaders termed the meeting as "routine", sources said the meeting was convened to ensure better coordination between the government and the party and its ideological fountainhead RSS.
One of the main issues of discussion was the current political situation, particularly arising out of the new land bill over which the opposition has united and stepped up a campaign against the government.
The last such meeting was held in December at the same place, but this time RSS's second-in-command is also present.
BJP general secretary Ram Madhav termed the meeting as "routine" and said BJP and RSS leaders hold discussions on important issues from time to time.
He, however, said there was no discussion on the land bill at today's meeting.
"Such meetings to exchange views on important matters take place between Sangh and BJP from time to time. It was a routine meeting where routine matters were discussed. There is normal exchange of views that takes place during such meetings," Madhav told reporters after the meeting.
He said, "International Yoga Day celebrations are to be held across the world and a big programme is to be held in India and it was discussed. Some discussion also took place on the birth centenary celebrations of Deen Dayal Upadhyaya."
"Besides, this is the 125th birth anniversary year of Ambedkarji and we discussed some programmes to be organised. Some discussions on the government plans on Ganga also took place. Like this, discussions took place on 4-5 routine matters," he said.
Asked if the land bill was discussed, he said, "there was no discussion held on it".
To another question on fear among minorities in the wake of attacks on religious places of minorities, he said, "No one is in fear. All are safe in this country, including minorities. The Centre and state governments are responsible for safety of minorities and other members of society. Both will ensure the security and safety of all residents of the country," he said.

Anchorage attorneys sue Dunleavy over special session venue, attempt to block vetoes
A lawsuit filed on Monday claims Gov. Mike Dunleavy violated Alaska's Constitution when he ordered the Legislature to convene in Wasilla for the ongoing special session.
Anchorage attorneys Kevin McCoy and Mary Geddes filed the suit. Both have lived in Alaska for more than 30 years, according to the complaint.
The lawsuit cites Alaka's Constitution, which allows the governor to call the legislature into a special session.
It also cites Alaska statutes, which state, "a special session may be held at any location in the state" and that "the governor shall designate the location in the proclamation."
The move to call a special session outside of the capital is an unprecedented one, according to the suit. The attorneys claim the proclamation is to blame for some state legislators showing up in Wasilla, unable to form a quorum, with others in Juneau, lacking the votes to take action.
"Defendant Dunleavy's unilateral proclamation ordering the Legislature to convene in a location other than the capital in Wasilla caused great confusion among legislators and citizens. [...] The confusion over the lawful location of the second special session, caused entirely by defendant Dunleavy's unlawful proclamtion, had the effect of preventing the full Legislature - as a body - from meeting, debating, and evaluating whether or not defendant Dunleavy's 182 line-item vetoes should be overridden within the five-day limit imposed by Article II, Section 16 of the Constitution."
The suit claims Dunleavy's proclamation and the law he says gives him the power to send lawmakers to Wasilla violates the Separation of Powers Doctrine.
"Purportedly giving the Governor the power to unilaterally determine venue for a special legislative session invites the exercise of arbitrary power and improperly intrudes on the independence of the legislature. The statute shares the same constitutional infirmity as would a statute enacted by the legislature that required the Governor to work in his Anchorage office the second week of each month. Under the Constitution and the doctrine of separation of powers, the Governor gets to decide where to do his work and fulfill his responsibilities; so does the Legislature."
The lawsuit requests an injunction that would prevent Dunleavy from implementing the 182 line-item vetoes until the legislature has "had its constitutionally guaranteed opportunity to meet following a lawfully proclaimed special session and determined as a body within the five-day override window whether to override one or more of the Governor's 182 vetoes."
It also seeks to discredit any proceedings conducted under the governor's June 13 proclamation.
A request for comment was not immediately returned by the Governor's Office Tuesday.
This is the second lawsuit filed in a week's time over the special session venue.
Last week, former North Pole representative Al Vezy filed a lawsuit against House Speaker Bryce Edgmon, I-Dillingham, and Senate President Cathy Giessel, R-Anchorage, for their decision to convene members in Juneau for the special session that Dunleavy intended to be held in Wasilla.
The lawsuit seeks an order that declares the legislative session in Juneau illegal and says any action taken during that session is null and void; it also asks for an injunction to compel Giessel and Edgmon to convene the Legislature in Wasilla.
A request for expedited consideration filed in that case was rejected, due to not meeting "court standards" for filing. Vezy said he planed to re-file the request Tuesday or Wednesday.
It is unclear which lawsuit will be heard in court first.

Lana Del Rey definitely knows how to keep her fans intrigued. The 31-year-old singer has announced that her fifth album, "Lust For Life", will arrive soon by releasing a haunting trailer on social media. In the black-and-white clip, Lana lives inside the letter "H" in the "Hollywood" sign, AceShowbiz said. The ghostly Lana is surrounded by levitating home decor and everything looks like hologram.
The video also shows an image of the Statue of Liberty with its torch snuffed out, which is seemingly to illustrate the Indie Pop singer's political stance. Accompanied by Lana's intriguing monologue, the two-minute clip becomes more bewitching. The clip also briefly shows a sign of XO which is The Weeknd's record label, and it leaves fans wondering if it is a hint of her collaboration with The Weeknd in "Lust for Life".
It looks like the songstress truly dedicates the upcoming album for her fans. She said in the monologue that she is making "this record for you." Just as she previously said in an interview, "I made my first 4 albums for me, but this one is for my fans and about where I hope we are all headed."
At the end of the clip, Lana said, "Amidst all the uncertainty, and as we transition out of one era into another one, there's no place I'd rather be than smack-dab in the middle of 'Holly-weird' making this record for you. Because you, and the music, and this place, are my love, my life, my lust for life."
Prior to this, Lana has released a lead single off the forthcoming album called "Love". The dreamy dark pop tune of "Love" hints at the mood of Lana's upcoming records. She has been writing for the album for the last 15 months and she "started out thinking that the whole record was going to have sort of a '50s, '60s feeling, with some kind of Shangri-Las, early Joan Baez influences."
She claimed that her lyrics would be "more socially aware." She said, "As the climate kept on getting more heated politically, I found, like, lyrically everything was just directed towards that, so because of that, the sound just got really updated, and I felt like it was more wanting to, like, talk to the younger side of the audience I have. I guess it's just a little more socially aware."
An official release date of "Lust for Life" has not yet been announced.

When hydraulic press 1 forces in second metal weldment 11 and first metal weldment 10 by magnetic conduction load laminate 4, the solder side of two metal weldments remains and fits tightly without there being air to enter, thus avoids metal welding junction in welding process to produce untoward reaction with the oxygen in air and hydrogen.When the solder side of first metal weldment 10 is added heat fusing by medium, high frequency load coil 13, pressure due to hydraulic press 1, second metal weldment 11 is pressed in the solder side of first metal weldment 10 all the time, two metal weldments just complete welding, and now the oxide impurity of the surface melting layer of first metal weldment 10 is extruded faying face under pressure, obtained solder side weld strength is guaranteed.
Embodiment two: the present embodiment is compared the difference of embodiment one and is, the present embodiment be for the two metal weldments being made up of same metal between welding needs.In order to weld the two metal weldments being made up of same metal, needing to be flush-mounted in the containing cavity 17 of two weldment pressing molds 6 two metal weldments respectively, the opening of two containing cavities 17 is relative.The heater being made up of magnetic conduction load laminate 4 and medium, high frequency load coil 13 may be disposed at side or the dorsal part of arbitrary containing cavity 17 of the solder side that two metal weldments fit, thus two metal weldments are carried out local and heats and then make both solders side all melt, now the remainder of metal weldment all can be always maintained at solid state by the cooling water channel cooling offered in respective weldment pressing mold 6.
Embodiment one, two is in the specific implementation: be aluminum metal weldment with first metal weldment 10, as a example by second metal weldment 11 is copper metal weldment, the heating carried out by the magnetic induction line of medium, high frequency load coil 13 can be divided into following two mode: as shown in Figure 5, magnetic induction line is just through copper metal weldment, due to copper metal weldment remain with aluminum metal weldment contacting of fitting tightly and heating-up temperature while higher than the fusing point of aluminum again less than the fusing point of copper, so the solder side of aluminum metal weldment can be made to melt by the conduction of heat of copper metal weldment；As shown in Figure 6, magnetic induction line is while copper metal weldment, also at least across the solder side of aluminum metal weldment, so, although heat two metalworks simultaneously, but owing to heating-up temperature is less than the fusing point of copper, so the solder side of only aluminum metal weldment is melted.
As shown in Figure 5,6, Fig. 5 shows the output output less than the medium, high frequency sensing heater in Fig. 6 of medium, high frequency sensing heater, so the distribution of magnetic induction line can be controlled by adjusting the output of medium, high frequency sensing heater 15 and selects the locus of heating region on metal weldment accordingly；Additionally due to magnetic induction line also needs guiding through heat insulation briquetting 5, so selecting the locus of heating region on metal weldment also by the thickness adjusting heat insulation briquetting 5.
As shown in Figure 7,8, first metal weldment 10 is a plate body, so its containing cavity 17 embedded is the rectangular cavities matched with its length, width；And as shown in Figure 9, when first metal weldment 10 bottom has the shaped structure 18 of complexity, need the structure that the cavity body structure of containing cavity 18 is set to match with shaped structure 18, so that shaped structure 18 obtains the cooling of cooling water channel, its temperature distortion is avoided even to melt, so, the welding of the metal weldment with complicated shaped structure is also achieved.
The welder that above-described embodiment one is used is vertical, and when being applied on actual flow waterline, can be chosen as the apparatus structure of horizontal or some other form accordingly, but does not the most hinder the enforcement of this device.
The cross section of medium, high frequency load coil 13 is except being the square-section copper pipe in Fig. 1,2,5 or 6, it is also possible to be the copper pipe of circular cross-section.The number of turn of medium, high frequency load coil 13 can be more than a circle, two circles or two circles coil side by side, outer cover glaze fiber protection sleeve pipe 14.
Magnetic conduction carries the upper and lower plane of laminate 4 all through Precision Machining, it is ensured that its surface accuracy and the depth of parallelism of two planes, thus ensures the flatness of faying face between two metal weldments.Magnetic conduction carries laminate 4 can be such as being stacked locking by some thin silicon steel plates 3 and connect and compose in embodiment one, two, it is also possible to for soft magnetic ferrite or the sintered moulded body of soft magnetic composite powder material.
The material of heat insulation briquetting 5 uses low thermal conductivity, insulation, and the material of low permeability is made, and can be chosen as: aluminium sesquioxide, silicon nitride or quartz material etc..

Atherosclerosis is among the group of chronic diseases that affects the arteries of the muscular-elastic and elastic types. The explanation for the expansion can be a violation of lipid metabolism.
The effect of this method is excessive deposition of cholesterol on the walls of veins. They appear like atheromatous plaques. Because of their look and growth, the lumen of the vessel narrows. Happening, it may well even become blocked. Specialists from your Meddiagnostics center say that it’s possible to determine happens with the development of the disease upfront, find the source and pick a therapy. Whoever has a heightened chance of atherosclerosis must regularly undergo a complete check-up to identify pathology noisy . stages.Plaques in numerous guisesThe formation of plaques is just not simultaneous. They could be asymptomatic for decades, and then at some point cause fatal consequences. There’s 2 types: stable and unstable. Oahu is the first group with a any period of time of formation. They’re stable and also be slowly. The result is stenosis or occlusion, that’s, you will find there’s sharp obstruction with the vessels. But unstable plaques behave differently. The peculiarity may be the tendency to erosion, rupture. Unstable plaques may cause acute thrombosis, stroke, heart attack.Risk factorsFor atherosclerosis, there are a number of things that you need to be familiar with in order to avoid the appearance of this type of serious pathology:- abdominal obesity;- arterial hypertension;- diabetes;- influence of cigarette smoke;- chronic renal failure;- genetic disposition;- adult and advanced age;- infections with pathogens available as chlamydia or Helictobacter pylori.Bed not the culprit atherosclerosis treated?In medical practice, there are different treatments, but what type will be optimal depends on activity is of the disease, the typical condition of the vessels, etc. No matter the reason, everything starts with a diagnosis. Research by Dr. Turchina N.S. had been a discovery in medical circles, enabling patients to take care of this complex disease having a non-surgical method. The end result is to reduce the foundation source of plaque formation. This assists not just in stop the continuing development of pathology, but additionally to cut back already formed plaques. The classical treatment is surgical. It aims to get rid of atherosclerotic plaque. With respect to the condition from the vessel, an instrumental boost in the lumen or shunting can be performed.Atherosclerosis is dangerous to health and wellbeing. With probable risks, regular study of our bodies must be carried out. Identified disease at an early stage of development is half the success on the path to recovery. The reality always remains to be the only true one: care for yourself and consult your doctor regularly.

KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 3 ― The Malay Chamber of Commerce Malaysia (MCCM) today suggested the federal government has failed to look after the interests of the Bumiputera businessmen, claiming that its members were left out of the country’s multi-billion MRT rail project.
“Of the (tenders for the) RM36 billion MRT project, we have got absolutely nothing,” MCCM president Syed Ali Alattas told reporters today.
“Those who have (received contracts) are instead outsiders,” he said, adding that “they have failed to deliver trains, but are given the MRT project.”
The country’s largest Malay business association also appeared to warn the ruling Barisan Nasional (BN) coalition of a possible loss of support in future elections.
“So, with all this, we ask the PM not to always indulge in all this... otherwise the future generations may get angry with the government,” Syed Ali said.

The Sierra Club
The Sierra Club, one of the nation’s oldest environmental groups, claims its mission is to “educate… humanity” about “the natural and human environment.” But the organization has strayed far from its original purpose, resorting to desperate tactics to gain headlines for their phony causes. Recently they even broke one of their core tenants of working within the law when their activists unlawfully chained themselves to the White House fence, echoing the tactics of other, even more extreme groups. Its activists are now so intent on drumming up headlines that they’ll say and do anything to get attention, including manufacturing phony fears about seafood.
The Sierra Club’s “Beyond Coal” campaign continues to spew misinformation about canned tuna, claiming pollution from coal-fired plants is contaminating seafood. A Sierra Club official claims “Mercury pollution from coal-fired plants affects us every day, from the can of tuna fish we eat to the air we breathe.” The campaign asks: “Is there coal in your tuna? purposefully conflating environmental pollution with naturally occurring mercury found in all commercial fish.” We’ve directly called on the Sierra Club to stop peddling these distortions, but its shameful, manipulative campaign continues.
The truth of the matter is there has never been a single case of mercury toxicity from commercial seafood documented in a peer-reviewed study. Coal-powered utilities contribute to pollution in inland waterways and freshwater fish, but tuna are saltwater fish that live in the world’s oceans.
There are many layers of regulations already in place to protect American consumers. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration enforces an actionable limit of 1.0 parts per million of mercury in seafood, which itself has a built in safety margin of 1,000 percent—meaning that a person would have to consume 1,000 percent of the recommended limit to be in danger. A 130-pound woman of childbearing age could theoretically eat 24 cans of light tuna every week without exceeding these strict guidelines.
In fact, health and nutrition authorities — including the World Health Organization, the Institute of Medicine, National Institutes of Health, and Harvard School of Medicine — all agree that the major risk associated with eating seafood is not eating enough. A recent study, for example, showed children whose mothers eat no fish during pregnancy are more likely to have abnormally low IQs. Another study found that more than 80,000 people die prematurely each year because they don’t get enough of the omega-3 fatty acids found in fish. As one Harvard researcher concluded: “Seafood is likely the single most important food one can consume for good health.”
Sierra Club activists have spinned their tall tuna tales to the point they’ve managed to confuse even themselves. In their Mercury Survival Guide, they actually recommend eating canned tuna, directly countering their own advice to avoid the fish.
It’s time that the Sierra Club stopped polluting the public discourse with phony scares. It can start by communicating the facts about seafood — and truly “educating humanity about the natural and human environment.” As we’ve noted before, there are far better ways to lobby for a cause than jeopardizing the health of millions of Americans.

I just got back from seeing David Cronenberg's "Eastern Promises". With a doubt the best film of the year so far. I was thinking about Nikolai's tattoos, specifically the cross in the front as well as the "St. Petersberg Three Crosses" tatto on his back. I am thinking about doing a run of prints, either 12 X 18 or maybe 10 X 12 printed on fine stock. Anyone know where I can find high resolution caps of either of these tattoos? Any help would be awesome! Thanks!
Oh, and if you haven't seen this movie, be sure to pay the extra 10.00 for a ticket cause it is worth it!

BURGSTÄDT (GERMANY)- Located 10 river kilometers north of Chemnitz, one will find a pair of through truss bridges that had once served a rail line but will soon have a new purpose. Both span the River Chemnitz in the conglomerate community of Markersdorf-Taura but are very close together, connecting the district of Schweitzerthal-Amselgrund and Neuschweizerthal. Unique about these two bridges is that they look nearly identical in terms of its aesthetical appearance. They are both Warren through trusses, whose connections are welded and whose portal and strut bracings are the same. They feature Howe lattice, shaped in a trapezoidal fashion and supported by angled heel bracings (45°) that can be found at not only the diagonal end post (60°) but also at every single beam supported- both diagonal as well as vertical beams. This is really rare for a through truss bridge to have heel struts be connected to all the beams that form the panel. The difference between the two is how they are constructed. The longer of the sister bridges has a straight portal approach and is 67 meters long. This is located next to the train station at Neuschweizerthal. The shorter of the two is located only 200 meters away around the curve, 100 meters away from the train station Amselgrund. That bridge has a 60° skew that was needed to support the curve. It is only seven meters shorter. Both bridges were built around 1902 even though there is no record of the bridge builder, let alone the reason behind building the two crossings close together instead of leading the rail line along the river. Yet the reason for pinpointing the date to 1902 is the fact that these bridges were common during that time. In addition to that, it was built at the same time as the rail line connecting Chemnitz and Wechselburg. For a century, this line served freight service along the river because of the industries located nearby, especially in the industrial district in the north of Chemnitz. Together with the Glauchau-Wurzen line, which it merged with at Wechselburg, the line was discontinued after 2002 due to the lack of profitablility combined with the Great Flood of 2002, which caused billions of Euros in damage to infrastructure and industry.
In 2007, the Chemnitztal Cycling Association purchased the entire stretch to be converted into a rails-to-trails for cyclists and pedestrians and the line is being extended as of present. At the same time, a dandy horse-rail-line connecting Markersdorf-Taura and Schweizerthal went into service to provide a scenic tour for two kilometers. However, with the extension of the bike trail going through both communities, the days of the dandy horse may come to an end.
Currently, both bridges are being rehabilitated, refurbished and retrofitted for use of the bike trail. According to information by the Chemnitz Free Press, construction on the new stretch of bike trail between Claussnitz and Schweitzerthal started in April 2018, which includes these two bridges, plus another one south of Markersdorf-Taura. This six kilometer stretch is scheduled to be paved and open to traffic, pending on weather, by 2020 latest. As one can see in the photos here, plus in the BHC’s facebook page, work has progressed immensely in several segments, including the span at Schweizerthal. I was not able to get much of a photo of the bridge. However, I was lucky to get a few detailed shots of the shorter crossing and its skewed setting. As the decking had railroad track on it, there was no way to get a closer look at the beams to see if there were any inscriptions on there. But after the reconstruction is complete, maybe there is a chance to get a closer look at the bridge.
But then again, maybe some of the readers may have more information about these two sibling bridges, which will have a third life ahead of them. Do you have any information on the bridges’ history? Feel free to comment or send an e-mail. Any information may be of great help.
And for those who thought it was not allowed to walk on the grounds near the bridge, let me rest assure you no equipment or bridge parts were damaged during the photo session and it is only for the purpose of historic research for this blog. A book on the bridges in Saxony is being considered and perhaps you can be of great help there, just as a peace offering. Thank you. J 🙂

Kim Janey Becomes First Black Person And First Woman To Become Boston Mayor
Kim Janey has made history by becoming the first Black person and the first woman to become mayor of Boston.
Janey officially stepped into the role last night, March 22, and described the achievement as ‘surreal’.
The 55-year-old became acting mayor of Boston in the wake of former mayor Marty Walsh having submitted his letter of resignation. Walsh has recently been confirmed to be the US’s secretary of labor.
Under the city charter, the sitting council president – a position Janey took in early 2020 – serves as acting mayor should a sitting mayor resign mid-term, Boston.com reports.
The former education advocate was in her second term on the City Council before stepping into the role of acting mayor. She was first elected for City Council in 2017.
Speaking about her new position, she told the Boston Globe, ‘It is surreal. Particularly when I think of my own background growing up. Just seeing how far our city has come. It’s amazing.’
While she has made history becoming the first female and first Black acting mayor of Boston, Janey can only perform a certain amount of duties. According to Boston.com, these consist of only urgent duties or those ‘not admitting of delay’.
Despite these limitations, she can still pass or veto ordinances approved by the City Council as well as performing other executive tasks, such as dealing with city contracts, grants and payroll.
Walsh has since tweeted his congratulations to Janey. He wrote yesterday, ‘Congratulations on making history, @Kim_Janey. I know you are going to continue serving our city and supporting an equitable recovery from #COVID19. I am always here for you, my friend.’
Prior to his departure from office, Walsh also assured Boston’s residents that his team had worked closely with Janey’s to ensure a smooth transition.
He said, ‘We’ve held extensive planning sessions. Every department has been engaged in this process and is taking proactive steps to ensure the continuity of services and operations in the city of Boston.’
I am confident, more than confident, that city government will move forward very smoothly, from the daily services that our residents rely on to our COVID response and public safety (and) the many long term capital improvements that we have launched across all of our different neighbourhoods.
In light of his new role, Walsh will be relocating to Washington DC.

Dubious claim with bad reference
So, I noticed that this claim was made for both 2-fluorination & 4-fluorination, on the respective pages: "Studies demonstrate that 2-flourine amphetamine substitutions limit activity of the compound at the alpha-1 adrenergic receptor with an over 200-fold increased selectivity for A2 receptors over A1 receptors."
I decided to check the citation to see which one it supported, and realized that it was neither. The little bit about fluorinated norepinephrine is also pretty irrelevant in terms of SAR, so I think it was someone with a vested interest in selling these amphetamines attempting to justify the anecdotal effects / dose ceiling where applicable. I've removed the claim from the pages I noticed it in. Storm (talk) 04:59, 7 March 2017 (CET)

Additionally, the roof rake comes with two tear-resistant slides that help safely guide the snow as it’s removed.
Spot Spreader Hand Ice Spreader
This shaker from Spot Spreader helps you cover frozen surfaces in a layer of ice melt. The spreader comes with an adjustable opening that gives you control over the amount of melt delivered with each shake. Additionally, the spreader is equipped with an ergonomic grip that conforms to your fingers for secure control.
Types of Snow Removal Equipment
While all snow removal equipment is designed to clear snow, not all tools work the same way. Here’s what you can expect from various snow removal tools, including shovels, snow blowers, scrapers, and snow melts.
A snow shovel is one of the most common winter weather tools because of its affordable price and ease of use. Snow shovels are available in a variety of designs, including sleighs, pushers, and electric-powered shovels, to fit the changing snow removal needs of homeowners.
Sleigh shovels are distinguished by their wide mouths that can scoop large amounts of snow. Most sleigh models, including the Goplus Sleigh Shovel, have movable handles that adjust to the user’s preference and help prevent discomfort while working. While sleigh shovels remove more snow than traditional models, they’re typically less affordable and more difficult to control.
A push shovel is identified by its curved blade and is equipped with wheels for added mobility. Push shovels like the Snowcaster Bi-Directional Wheeled Snow Pusher are great for homeowners who want to manually clear a large, snow-covered area.
Electric-powered shovels are heavy-duty tools that reduce the manual effort needed to clear snow and ice. For example, the Greenworks 12-Inch Corded Snow Shovel has an eight-amp motor and a rotating plastic auger that can remove 300 pounds of snow per minute.
Most homeowner-focused snow blowers are divided into single- and two-stage models. Single-stage snow blowers like the Snow Joe Electric Single-Stage Snow Thrower use rubber or metal blades to take in snow from a covered surface and throw it out of its chute.
Two-stage snow blowers, including the PowerSmart Two-Stage Snow Blower, differ from single-stage models in that they incorporate a separate fan for discharging accumulation, allowing them to throw snow at greater distances. Additionally, two-stage models typically have larger clearing widths than their single-stage counterparts.
Snow scrapers come in a variety of sizes to help homeowners chip away and remove ice from their vehicles, driveways, and roofs.
Most snow scrapers, including the Snow Joe Telescoping Snow Broom and Ice Scraper and Hopkins Snow Brush With Foam Grip, are designed to help homeowners remove ice and snow from their cars. Other scrapers like the Bully Tools Heavy-Duty Ice Scraper help homeowners chip away at stuck-on driveway ice that snow shovels are unable to remove.
While not typically classified as scrapers, roof rakes like the SNOWPEELER Roof Rake are similar to traditional scrapers. Instead of removing snow and ice off of a vehicle or driveway, roof rakes help homeowners remove heavy layers of accumulation off of their roofs to prevent cave-ins and other damage.
Snow melts like the Harris Pet-Friendly Snow and Ice Melt prevent snow accumulation and eliminate the light snow and ice that covers your driveways, sidewalks, and walkways. While most snow melts come with scoops for distributing the mixture, products like the Spot Spreader Hand Ice Spreader have convenient holders that help you distribute ice melts evenly across your outdoor surfaces.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I use a roof rake to remove snow from my roof?
When removing snow accumulation from your roof, start from the edge of your roof and use your rake to pull snow down from the slope. As you work your way up to your roof, be sure to only remove snow down to a couple of inches to prevent damage to your shingles.
How do ice melts work?
Ice melts prevent snow and ice accumulation by lowering the freezing point of water. They attract moisture and generate heat to melt the ice that’s already formed. A quality ice melt should be applied before and during a snowstorm to help reduce the amount of winter accumulation.
What is the difference between a snow shovel and snow pusher?
Snow shovels like the Snow Joe Shovelution Snow Shovel have a rectangular blade that needs to be angled during use to scrape ice and snow. A snow pusher, like the Snowcaster Bi-Directional Wheeled Snow Pusher, typically has a more narrow blade and is curved to efficiently cut through stuck-on ice and snow.

Instead of reducing VA disability backlog, Obama has doubled it
Question of the Day
It was one of the simplest, most poignant promises Barack Obama made in 2008 in his first campaign for the White House: he would fulfill “a sacred trust with our veterans” by significantly reducing the government’s lengthy backlog of pending claims for disability coverage. The goal: all veterans could get a decision on disability claims within 125 days.
But on this Veterans Day as Obama prepares for the advent of his second term, the president’s pledge not only remains unfulfilled, it has become a farcical rallying cry for sick veterans, their widows and their advocates who now can wait as long as one to two years for disability decisions from the Department of Veterans Affairs.
Records obtained by the Washington Guardian show as of Nov. 5, the day before Obama won re-election, 558,230 of the 820,106 veterans seeking disability coverage had their claims pending for more than the 125-day target. That’s a whopping 68.1 percent, or nearly double the 36 percent rate in the summer of 2010.
And there’s tens of thousands of more cases pending in various forms of appeal, where decisions can take months or years to resolve. For instance, the average time it takes to resolve a case before the Veterans Appeals Board is 883 days.
In short, Obama made it worse, not better. The reason is because the new claims workers his administration hired did not keep pace with the crush of new demand from Afghanistan and Iraq war veterans or the new coverage areas authorized by the VA in 2010 for Vietnam veterans.
“In the last two years it has gotten far worse than it has ever been,” said Walter J. Tafe, the director of the Burlington County Military and Veterans Service in New Jersey who has helped thousands of veterans or their widows navigate the VA bureaucracy to secure benefits they’re owed.
Tafe said he sympathizes with the regional VA workers, who work hard but simply don’t have the resources to keep up with new demand. He added that he seldom if ever sees a case, even a simple one, resolved within the 125-day target the VA set.
And as VA has tried to speed up work to keep the backlog from growing out of hand, its error rate has soared. The VA inspector general told Congress this summer that it found an error rate on high-risk disability claims of 30 percent – more than double the agency’s goals – meaning veterans can be approved or denied benefits incorrectly. An analysis of appeals cases by the Board of Veterans Appeals suggested that error could even be higher, at least in contested cases. It grants appeals or remands cases back to the VA about three quarters if the times, mostly because of mistakes.
The reasons for delays and errors, the VA admits, are many and complicated. The VA added hundreds of new benefits processors in an effort to meet Obama’s pledge, but it was quickly overrun by the growth of claims from returning Iraq and Afghan war veterans.
And then, the administration made a politically popular decision in 2010 to approve a slew of new illnesses to be covered under VA disability claims for Vietnam War veterans affected by Agent Orange. But planning and resources didn’t keep up, and the system has essentially crumbled under the weight of the new burdens.
“Too many veterans still wait too long. That’s unacceptable,” VA Undersecretary for Benefits Allison A. Hickey acknowledged in September.
And so the VA has set a new goal and strategy. It’s redeployed 1,200 employees to work on backlogged claims, increased oversight, significantly increased training of employees and begun a transition from an old paper system to a paperless, digital processing system. The workers who underwent new training have been able to reduce their error rates, the VA said, citing one hopeful sign for the future.
Hickey says the new strategy should be a “lasting solution that will transform how we operate and eliminate the claims backlog.”
“VA’s goal is to process all disability claims within 125 days, at a 98 percent accuracy level, and eliminate the claims backlog in 2015,” the agency said in a statement to the Washington Guardian.
