TOKYO — U.S. President Donald Trump vowed on Monday to push for a free and balanced trade partnership with Japan after decades of “massive trade deficits” and stressed the U.S.-Japan alliance was the cornerstone of Asian security.
“The United States has suffered massive trade deficits at the hands of Japan for many, many years,” Trump said at the start of a meeting with Japanese and U.S. business leaders on the second day of a 12-day Asian trip that will focus on both trade and North Korea’s nuclear and missile programs.
Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, at the start of a working lunch with Trump, offered his “heart-felt condolences” for the victims of a gunman who massacred at least 26 worshippers at a church in Texas.
White House spokeswoman Sarah Sanders said Trump, who earlier expressed grief for the victims, had no plans at this time to change the schedule for his 12-day Asian trip, which will also take him to Seoul, Beijing and Danang, Vietnam.
Trump praised Japan for buying U.S. military hardware, which he said was the “best military equipment in the world,” but added that “many millions of cars are sold by Japan into the United States, whereas virtually no cars go from the United States into Japan.”
“We want free and reciprocal trade but right now our trade with Japan is not free and it’s not reciprocal and I know it will be and we’ve started the process,” Trump said. “I have no doubt that it will be done in a quick and very friendly manner.”
Trump also said Washington wants to make the United States the most attractive place to hire, invest and grow.
Japan had a $69-billion trade surplus with the United States last year, according to the U.S. Treasury Department. The United States was Japan’s second biggest trade partner after China, while Japan was the United States’ fourth largest goods export market in 2016.
Japanese officials have countered U.S. trade complaints by noting Tokyo accounts for a much smaller slice of the U.S. deficit than in the past, while China’s imbalance is bigger.
“Japan has explained its share of the U.S. trade deficits is only 9.3 percent now,” chief cabinet secretary Yoshihide Suga told a news conference when asked about Trump’s comments.
“On the other hand, direct employment in the United States is about 860,000 people, mainly in the manufacturing sector.”
In a second round of economic talks in Washington last month, U.S. Vice President Mike Pence and Japanese Finance Minister Taro Aso, who doubles as deputy premier, failed to bridge differences on thorny trade issues.
The two sides remain at odds over how to frame future trade talks, with Tokyo pushing back against U.S. calls to discuss a bilateral free trade agreement.
Trump also said that an Indo-Pacific trade framework would produce more in trade that the Trans-Pacific Partnership pact pushed by his predecessor but which he announced Washington would abandon soon after he took office.
“TPP was not the right answer,” he said, adding he knew not everyone in his audience agreed. “We will have much bigger trade with the way we are doing it right now and it will be a much less complex situation.”
The 11 remaining nations in the TPP, to which Japan’s Abe is firmly committed, are edging closer to sealing a comprehensive free trade pact without the United States.
Emperor, abductees, North Korea
The United States has also complained about Japan’s safeguard mechanism on U.S. frozen beef imports, which imposes higher tariffs if quarterly imports rise more than 17 percent from the previous year. Sources have told Reuters that Tokyo will propose changes to the system to reduce U.S. pressure.
Trump met Emperor Akihito, exchanging a handshake and nodding, before his lunch and talks with Abe. He will also meet relatives of Japanese citizens kidnapped decades ago by North Korean agents to help train spies.
Abe has made the abductions a keystone of his career. The families hope their talks with Trump — the third U.S. president whom they have met — will somehow contribute to a breakthrough in the emotive issue, although experts say progress is unlikely.
North Korea’s recent actions, including several missiles that flew over Japan and Pyongyang’s sixth and largest nuclear test, have raised the stakes in the most critical international challenge of Trump’s presidency.
The U.S. leader has rattled some allies with his vow to “totally destroy” North Korea if it threatens the United States and with his dismissal of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un as a “rocket man” on a suicide mission.
Abe, however, has staunchly backed Trump’s stance that “all options are on the table”, including military action, and repeatedly said that now was the time for added pressure, not dialogue “for the sake of dialogue.”

Pumpkin pie isn't the only Thanksgiving staple no one should live without. What's a turkey without delicious stuffing? For kids with food allergies, gluten is an extremely common culprit and an ingredient that's difficult — but not impossible — to avoid when making stuffing, one of the most classic Thanksgiving foods.
One of the great things about this recipe is that, despite the apparent ingredient restrictions, it's actually very easily modified. Last year, we were dealing with a gluten allergy, so it was perfect as written; this year, we'll be omitting the walnuts, in deference to a lil boy with a major nut allergy. Whatever you omit or add, this savory stuffing recipe is so tasty that no one will ever suspect that it was made entirely free of gluten and grains. Get the gluten-free stuffing recipe now.
- 5 pearl onions, peeled and cut in half
4 small shallots, peeled and cut in half
1 large bulb fennel (white part only) cut in half, then cut lengthwise into 1/4-inch-wide strips
1 stalk celery, cut in half lengthwise and chopped
1/4 cup organic extra-virgin olive oil
3/4 to 1 cup gluten-free chicken broth (add more, 1 tablespoon at a time, if mixture becomes dry during cooking)
1 teaspoon gluten-free poultry seasoning blend
3/4 cup pan-toasted walnuts
8 ounces portobello mushrooms, quartered and sliced about 1/4 inch thick
Unrefined sea salt and ground pepper to taste
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
1 tablespoon chopped fresh fennel leaves
1 tablespoon good quality cooking sherry, optional
- Heat oil in a deep saute pan. Add onions, shallots, fennel and celery. Stir to coat vegetables in oil. Brown slightly on medium heat for several minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add chicken stock, bring to a boil, reduce heat to low and cover pan. Simmer ingredients for 20 minutes. Add sage and salt and pepper to taste. Add walnuts, cover and continue to cook mixture, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes.
- Add mushrooms, gluten-free sausage (optional), and sherry (optional), cover and cook on medium for an additional 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally. When mushrooms are cooked and walnuts slightly softened the stuffing is done. If there is excess liquid, cook uncovered to reduce, but leave some liquid for reheating.
- Add additional salt and pepper if needed.
- Serve warm or refrigerate and reheat when ready to serve. When serving, sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley and fennel leaves.

Special Issue Introduction
Aging is characterized by molecular and cellular traits that are drivers of this process and lead to tissue dysfunction and an increased risk of death. In recent studies, extracellular vesicles (EVs) and miRNAs from different types of cells have been described as factors that can interfere with these aging-associated processes, such as intercellular communication, cellular senescence, oxidative stress, or metabolism, with benefits in the function of old organisms. On the other hand, aging is characterized by a loss of regenerative capacity. Stem cells lose the ability to regenerate properly, both in basal conditions and after damage, with fewer potential divisions over a longer period. In contrast, EVs from several types of stem cells can improve regeneration in different tissues after induced damage, both in vivo and in vitro.
miRNAs are small non-coding RNAs present in EVs and have been described as important factors contributing to the effect of EVs in the communication between cells. There is a dysregulation of miRNA biogenesis with aging, and miRNAs contained in EVs are proposed as potential modulators of age-related processes.
This Special Issue welcomes studies covering the following topics:
● Role of EVs in aging-related processes;
● EVs as a regenerative tool in aging;
● Potential of EVs on targeting aging and age-related diseases;
● Role of miRNAs in the aging process.
Submission Deadline30 Apr 2023

Review: Age of Ultron #5
Artist: Bryan Hitch
Publisher: Marvel Comics
We reach the halfway point of Marvel's 2013 summer event and the story that's been quietly simmering for four issues finally boils over, bringing us to the crux of the series - time travel. After last issue's big Vision-shaped discovery by Luke Cage, namely that big bad Ultron isn't even in the same time-frame as our heroes, the survivors weigh up their options from the comfort of Nick Fury's super-secret Savage Land hideaway.
Once arriving, the question isn't so much how the heroes will strike back against Ultron, but when. As it turns out, Fury has been stashing one of Doctor Doom's old time platforms for a rainy day and it doesn't get more rainy than a shower of shiny golden robots systematically destroying the world. If memory serves correct, said time platform doesn't affect the current timeline, merely create a new alternate one. I vaguely recall a Fantastic Four annual hinging on a future Johnny Storm coming back to avert a tragedy, but rather than save his own family, he merely created a world where they continued to live. But that might just be my fanboy mind picking holes in Bendis' chosen plot device.
With the method of the remaining heroes' kamikaze mission decided, they then have to choose the perfect moment to strike at Ultron and the survivors are of two minds on the matter. While the linear side of things is covered nicely by Nick Fury's strike team, heading off into the far-flung future to attack the Ultron directly responsible for this assault, the far more interesting approach comes in the final pages, as Wolverine declares his intention to travel back and kill Hank Pym (aka Ant-Man aka Ultron's creator), before he can birth this monstrous AI upon the world. The small hairy canuck aims to misbehave and there's no telling what affect he'll have on Marvel Universe continuity as a result.
As explored in the opening pages, to much wordier effect, Pym himself had even considered travelling back to a time before Ultron and warn his past self of the horrors his creation will inflict. But as correctly pointed out by his fellow scientists, Tony Stark and Reed Richards, where does one draw the line when "correcting" past mistakes? Do they leave it at Ultron or do they travel back even further and stop Hitler from kickstarting World War II or do they go back even further and knock that insidious apple out of Eve's hand. The message Bendis is trying to relay is that altering time is a slippery slope and there's no clear end in sight. As much as the ability may aid the heroes in this time of need, it's just as likely to be abused by the wrong people. Hell, in this case, the heroes ARE the wrong people. They want to murder a founding Avenger!
Age of Ultron #5 marks a profound turning point in the course of this series, not only with the changing stakes of the situation, but behind the scenes as well. The first half of this ten part story was written nearly three years ago at this point, making for numerous visual and character inconsistencies in the opening salvo. Wrong costumes for the most part, but wrong characterisation entirely in Spider-Man's case, who fails to reflect his new "Superior" attitude. Like most characters in the book, their current status quo's weren't even an inkling in their creator's eye while Bendis was writing and Hitch was illustrating way back in 2010. As such, issue five brings to a close Bryan Hitch's work on the series, gracefully departing with some fine work, before the story kicks into another gear entirely. I'll miss the consistency of his artwork on the book going forward, but I'll be grateful for an up-to-date artist who isn't trying to jam old ideas into present day continuity. It's Marvel NOW, not Marvel THEN.
The story itself continues to tick over, giving us enough to keep our interest, but not really engaging at the same time. There's an inherent flaw in time travel stories, whereby at the back of your mind, you know everything will snap back to "how it should be". Marvel have so many plates spinning at the moment, I can't believe they'd let a three year old pet project dictate their entire line's future. This is basically Bendis wrapping up a few loose ends from his legendary run on the Avengers franchise. It's more of an encore, than a beginning. Play the hits one last time, then respectfully leave the stage. After all, Jonathan Hickman's Avengers series has shot off in another direction entirely. So much so, Age of Ultron is squarely in the rear view mirror, even as it continues.

The architect was John E Goodacre. From the website linked below: “Thomas Smith was a Mansfield Town Councillor who lived at 18 Bagshaw Street. By profession he was a builder and donated a piece of land further along the street on which the Free Library was built. …. When the Library was closed, Mansfield Borough Council, as it then was, put the building up for sale for £575. It was bought by a local butcher, Alf Fensome, who had it converted into a bungalow, in which state it still exists today.”
Current status: Library closed in 1941. As described on the website linked below, it is now residential. (2020)
Described as being in the Edwardian classical style, the building was designed by Walter G Payton of London. The foundation stone was laid on 28 July 1905 by David Davies of Llandinam (the founder of Barry Docks). The main contractor was Messrs Edwards Bros of Trefechan.
Awarded Grade II listing in 1987
Current status: Closed in 2012, and since 2016, when it was sold, there have been ongoing plans for redevelopment, but no work has yet taken place .
Year grant given: 1903
Amount of grant: £3,000
Year opened (and by who): April 1906 by Mrs Vaughan Davies of Tanybwlch, the wife of local MP Matthew Lewis Vaughan Davies.
Photo of library today (2019):
Although I didn’t take any photos, I have found this one on flickr, which shows the lovely art nouveau tiles.
Old photo of library (postcard):
Nothing in my collection yet
Many times, when I was a student. But as far as I know, I didn’t take a single photo!
Originally built as a private house for wealthy cotton mill owner, Nicholas England.
In 1907 it was converted to become the Colne Carnegie library and a date stone of 1907 was placed above the main entrance. Closed as a library in 1972, and the building was taken over by the Providence Independent Methodist church. They moved out in 2012, and the building was sold. Proposal put forward in 2015 to convert it into flats (and advert seen on Right Move website, 2018).
The present building dates from 1904, as noted on the commemorative plaque outside the front entrance. It is a traditional red brick building on the main Parkgate and Rawmarsh Road. Carnegie offered £3,000 to Rawmarsh Urban District Council in 1903, and a further £72 in 1906. The architect was Joseph Platts. Mr WH Trehern was the contractor.
Current status: After closure (2011?), it was used as council offices, then news in 2016 confirmed plans to convert it to accommodation for ‘vulnerable young people’. (2017)
Year grant given (if known): 1903
Amount of grant: £3000
Year opened (and by who – if known): 5 June 1905 by Sir WH Holland MP
The library opened in 1906 and contained the living quarters for the librarian. The design also incorporated a lecture room for educational purposes. The library was re-modelled and re-furnished in 1932 (details and photos in the web link below).
Its use as a library was discontinued in 1975 when a new community library was opened in the shopping centre up the hill. ‘Carnegie House’ is now a series of flats. The florally embellished ‘Free Library’ lettering high up on the corner is still clearly seen.
Current status: Residential (2021)
Year grant given (if known):
Amount of grant: £3000
Year opened (and by who – if known): 25 June 1906 by Sir William Holland MP
Links to some of the apartments which can be rented (contain lots of photos): The Bronte apartment – in what was the reading room, the Shakespeare apartment, and the Austen apartment – in what was part of the large conference room, in the rounded end of the building.

Climbers finish 9th day of attempt to scale Yosemite’s El Capitan
Two climbers ended their ninth consecutive day on Sunday of a quest to scale one of the most difficult routes in the world: a half-mile section of exposed granite in California’s Yosemite National Park.
Since Dec. 27, Kevin Jorgeson and Tommy Caldwell have been free climbing -- using only their hands and feet -- while sleeping in sling-like tents suspended to El Capitan’s Dawn Wall, a steep and barren section of the mountain. The expanse has also been called the Wall of the Early Morning Light.
El Capitan, which stands more than 3,000 feet above the Yosemite Valley floor, is the largest monolith of granite in the world, according to the National Park Service.
For more than 27 days in 1970, Warren Harding and Dean Caldwell climbed Dawn Wall using ropes. Jorgeson and Caldwell would be the first since then to climb the section using ropes only as a safeguard against a fall.
“If they get it completed, it will be the hardest completed rock climb in the world,” Tom Evans, a climber and photographer, told the New York Times. Evans is documenting the pair’s summit on his blog.
Jorgeson, 30, of Santa Rosa, and Caldwell, 36, of Estes Park, Colo., prepared for about five years for the climb, according to their personal websites. They have chronicled both their preparation and current progress toward the summit of El Capitan on Facebook and Twitter.
“One step closer! I sent pitch 15 last night,” Caldwell wrote Sunday morning on his Facebook page, locating himself about halfway through the mountain’s 32 pitches, or sections.
Caldwell plans to attempt the 16th section on Tuesday after taking a rest day on Monday, according to his wife Becca’s blog.
Jorgeson, meanwhile, tweeted late Saturday about his difficulty scaling the same section: “Battling. #dawnwall.”
The pair hope to reach the top of ‘El Cap,’ as climbers call the mountain, on Friday, according to Jorgeson’s “best case scenario” agenda, which he posted online.

Chatham-Kent OPP say a tractor trailer rear ended a vehicle in a fiery crash on Highway 401 near Kenesserie Road.
Police responded to the multi-vehicle collision on around 3:15 p.m. on Wednesday.
Investigation revealed traffic had stopped on Highway 401 in the end queue while entering the construction zone.
Police say a westbound tractor trailer failed to stop and collided into the rear of a stopped tractor trailer causing it to collide with a third tractor trailer.
Officers say the third tractor trailer then collided into the rear of a motor vehicle.
As a result of the collision, the first and second tractor trailers caught on fire and suffered extensive damage.
One of the drivers of the tractor trailer suffered minor injuries and was transport to hospital.
Police say charges are pending against the driver of the tractor trailer.
Highway 401 is expected to be closed for approximately four hours to allow for clean-up of the scene.

UPDATED: Oct. 7, 2012, at 6:57 p.m.
At a monthly meeting of the Graduate Student Council on Wednesday, members of the Council discussed whether the Council should continue with a representative democracy or move toward a direct democracy system. A proposed change would allow non-departmental representatives to vote on the issues that the GSC puts forth.
Currently, each department gets one, two, or three votes based on the number of registered students in the department, according to President of the GSC, Cammi N. Valdez. A department gets one vote if it has between 1 and 35 people, two votes if it has between 36 and 70 people, and three votes if it has 71 or more people.
“Our constitution states that it is up to the department to choose the way they elect or select their representatives,” Valdez explained. “The issue of direct democracy has not been brought up prior to this year.”
Patrick L. Rich, Secretary of the GSC, said he finds the question of direct democracy to be “interesting and important.”
“A few people on the executive board are going to organize a forum where people interested in talking about this can directly voice their opinions. The idea would be that anyone interested in that issue will come and speak,” Rich said.
Jennifer A. Sheehy-Skeffington, the international students at large representative for the GSC, said that this discussion points out flaws within the current system.
“I think that the issue of universal suffrage is coming up as an indication of the failing in the democratic structure of the GSC,” Sheehy-Skeffington said.
“When it comes to elections of members of the executive committee, I think all grad students should have a vote, just as students do at the undergraduate level.”
Because the meeting concluded before the issues was resolved, the discussion on this and other amendments will be the first subjects considered in the GSC’s next meeting, according to Sheehy-Skeffington.
Although the group did not come to a consensus on this issue, they were able to pass one amendment by the end of the session. This change will add a provision in the constitution for the removal of Executive Board members who fail to attend, without a valid excuse, more than a quarter of the required meetings, according to Sheehy-Skeffington.
In addition to these topics, members of the Harvard University Police Department spoke about student safety, a new Treasurer was voted upon, and the members of each GSC committee were chosen. Towards the end of the meeting different recommendations made by the Constitutional and Bylaws Committee were read and people voted to change or talk about, or table each amendment.

A woman on twitter named Natasha Javed narrated a shocking account of a man (who also happens to be her friend), who was allegedly arrested by the police in Lahore at 3 am in the night.
Her friend, Abuzar after being picked up, had to spend a night at the Model Town police station of the city.
The alleged reason of his arrest will absolutely shock you and make you reflect on the functioning of the police system here in Pakistan.
Javed, who is a child rights advocate in Lahore, wrote that her friend had been arrested at that time of the day for keeping long hair. LONG HAIR, I repeat!
The child rights advocate shared how the law enforcement officers stopped Abuzar while he was waiting for a rickshaw, asked for his CNIC, and then forcefully put him in the police van.
Completely taken aback by the situation at hand, the artist kept enquiring why he had been taken into custody? Officers told him that he’ll get to know once they reach the police station.
After much insistence, they allegedly told him that his appearance was the reason of his arrest, and that he was out on the streets at 3 am. Because, how dare he?
Abuzar tried to explain to them he’s a teacher, but they did not relent.
They were adamant on allegedly keeping him locked up for a day, only to teach him a lesson for having long hair and being out in the night, waiting for a rickshaw.
Abuzar, while in custody reached out to his friends on Facebook to “seek legal support.” The next day, they helped him bailout.
What do you have to say about the reason this man was arrested for in Lahore? Let us know in the comments.

Taking a vacation by automobile doesn’t require any particular vocabulary skills; however, when you go on a private yacht charter, whether it’s a Virgin Islands yacht charter or Croatia yacht charter, it’s sometimes nice to know some of the terminology used when onboard.
Here are some nautical terms for you that might be helpful to know.
BOW – The forward part of a boat.
STERN – The back of the boat.
BEAM – The greatest width of the boat.
BUOY – An anchored float used for marking a position on the water or a hazard or a shoal and for mooring.
CABIN (or "stateroom") – A compartment (bedroom) for passengers or crew.
CATAMARAN – A twin-hulled boat, with hulls side-by-side. Can be sail or power, but is usually sail.
CHART – A map for use by navigators.
HELM (or "Navigation Station") – The area from where the Captain steers/pilots the boat.
CLEAT – A fitting to which lines are tied. They are usually in somewhat of a "figure8 shape." Cleats are located on the dock and on the boat. (They are often tripped over, if you don’t watch your step!)
COCKPIT – An opening in the deck from which the boat is handled. (Visualize a large sailboat – the "steering wheel" of the boat is located in the cockpit.)
DINGHY (also known as a "tender") – A small open boat.
"T/T BOATNAME" – Means "Tender To…[boatname]." NOTE: Most yachts only have 1 tender. Those with more than 1 tender (aka, dinghy) often have "TTT’s….or tenders for/to their tenders."
FENDER (also known as a "bumper") – A cushion, placed between boats, or between a boat and a pier, to prevent damage.
GALLEY – The kitchen of a boat.
SAILBOAT – A boat powered by wind through sails (with ancillary engine).
POWERBOAT – A boat powered by engine and fuel.
STINKPOTTER – A powerboat enthusiast.
HEAD – A marine toilet/bathroom.
DAY HEAD – The bathroom that is used by all guests, usually in main area of the boat and not located within a stateroom.
INTRACOASTAL WATERWAY – AKA, "The ICW." Bays, rivers, and canals along the coasts (such as the Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico coasts), connected so that vessels may travel without going into the sea. Evening charters in Florida often cruise along the ICW to see the holiday lights of the condos lining the waterway, for example.
KNOT (relating to speed) – A measure of speed equal to one nautical mile (6076 feet) per hour.
LOG – A record of courses or operation, kept by the captain/crew. (Charter guests often fill out an entry in a "guestbook" or "logbook" after a charter, as well, to describe their trip.)
PLANING ("on a plane") – As a boat evens out above the water when it is moving/underway, as opposed to still being partially underneath the water, as in before it starts moving.
PORT – The left side of a boat looking forward. (Also refers to a docking location)
STARBOARD – The right side of a boat, looking forward.
SCREW – A boat’s propeller. (A "twin screw" is a boat with 2 propellers.)
UNDERWAY – Vessel in motion.
WAKE – Moving waves, track, or path that a boat leaves behind it, when moving across the water.
YACHT – A boat used for pleasure.
There are many other phrases used by "yachtees," but these are basics that will help you navigate your way when onboard a private yacht!

text: Visually commanding, conceptually beguiling, but dramatically inert, this ambitious Japanese anime by Katsuhiro Otomo (Akira) unfolds in London during the Great Exhibition of 1851, which celebrated the advances of the industrial revolution. A crusty old inventor (voiced by Patrick Stewart) bequeaths his young grandson (Anna Paquin) a fantastic ball that unleashes the power of compressed steam, and soon the boy is fleeing dark powers that covet the new resource—among them a foundation fronted by his cynical father (Alfred Molina). The Victorian backgrounds are carefully researched and fanatically detailed, though the characters are more plainly rendered in conventional cel animation. Unfortunately that duality carries over into the story, its fascinating alternate history overlaid with a wheezy paternal drama and a lot of rhetorical steam about the morality of science. This dubbed version runs 106 minutes; the subtitled Japanese release clocks in at two hours. PG-13.


2022 Nissan Ariya: All-Electric Crossover SUV
With the rousing success of the Nissan Leaf, Nissan is expanding further into the electric car market with a versatile, all-electric Nissan Crossover SUV. In 2021 Nissan will premier the 2022 Nissan Ariya. The Nissan Ariya will be a new electric car for a new generation of drivers, with outstanding performance, capability, and design. Learn more about the features and range offered on the 2022 Nissan Ariya below, then contact our team to find out when the 2022 Nissan Ariya will be available at our Delray Beach showroom.
Nissan Ariya: Range & Performance
Unlike the Nissan Leaf, the Ariya will be an all-electric Nissan crossover SUV. This means that it will offer an increased driving range as well as an optional all-wheel drive (AWD) drivetrain for Boca Raton drivers. The 2022 Nissan Ariya will offer two battery options as well: a 63.0-kWh battery, and a larger 87.0-kWh battery. These batteries will give the Ariya a 300-mile range and the ability to go from 0 – 60 in less than five seconds. However you look at it, the Nissan Ariya will be able to give drivers the capability and performance they’re looking for in a new SUV.
Nissan Ariya: Interior Features & Design
The 2022 Ariya will come to the market with a never-before-seen interior design. Using a combination of minimalistic and futuristic styles, the Nissan Airya interior will emphasize its spacious cargo room and a new suite of features for Greenacres drivers to enjoy.
To begin, the Nissan Ariya will come with zero-gravity seats that will keep drivers and passengers comfortable while also maximizing cargo space and legroom with a low vehicle floor. Doing away with the cluttered dashboard design found on other electric car models, the 2022 Ariya will use dual 12.3-inch displays for the digital gauge cluster and infotainment screens. These screens will be incorporated into the dashboard to increase driver visibility and to give the Ariya a streamlined interior design. Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ will come standard on the Nissan Ariya, along with in-dash navigation. Over-the-air firmware updates and wireless charging will also be offered, along with the standard array of Nissan infotainment, climate control, and comfort amenities.
Nissan Ariya: Exterior Design
The exterior design of the new all-electric Nissan crossover SUV is perhaps its most genius aspect. Many electric models like to emphasize their futuristic design elements to really stand out on Boyton Beach roads, but not every driver looking to make the switch to an electric crossover SUV enjoys that post-modern look.
The 2022 Nissan Ariya exterior design uses simplistic elements that will appeal to all types of drivers. A distinctive front grille and wheels will be the statement features on the Nissan Ariya, while delicate body lines and curves will offer a modest sporty look that drivers will enjoy. This softer, family-friendly design will be more appealing to drivers who want a newly designed vehicle without making too much of a statement on their daily commutes.
Read The Latest 2022 Nissan Ariya News
The official prices for the 2022 Nissan Ariya trim levels have not been released yet, but automotive experts predict the base trim level for the Nissan Ariya will start around $40,000 MSRP*.

What happened in Washington yesterday was worse than a crime, it was a blunder. Despite the decibel level of the denunciations, no one was in fact more pleased by yesterday’s events than the members of the bipartisan establishment who view it as their opportunity to discredit the only force in American politics they genuinely fear–populist nationalism–for good.
Whether that in fact happens remains to be seen. But consider how committed is that establishment to such unpopular (and ruinous) policies as unending wars and open borders that among the items contained in the defense appropriations bill vetoed by Trump were provisions prohibiting defense dollars from being spent on a border wall– securing America’s borders has nothing to do with “defense” as that term is used in DC–and provisions prohibiting the withdrawal of American troops from various foreign locations.
Whether Trump as a person is permanently discredited is not a matter of great concern to me. Whether the program of protecting American jobs, securing America’s borders, keeping Americans from harm in wars that have nothing to do with defending America, and generally favoring the interests of ordinary Americans over foreigners and special interests, is.
A return to the days when the only opposition to the globalism of Clinton and Obama was the globalism of Bush, McCain, and Romney would be a disaster for my country.

MARTINSBURG, W.Va. — U.S. Marine Corps veteran and recipient of the Purple Heart Cyril L. “Cy” Kammeier of Inwood has been named the Military Order of the Purple Heart’s Patriot of the Year for 2015.
“It is a significant honor – I’m really pleased with the honor,” Kammeier said in a recent telephone interview.
He is an active member of the MOPH Chapter 646 in Martinsburg and the Eastern Panhandle Detachment 1143 of the Marine Corps League.
Although Kammeier was unable to attend, he was named the Patriot of the Year at the MOPH’s national convention in Las Vegas in August.
“The Patriot of the Year goes to the member who most represents the Military Order of the Purple Heart and volunteers with veterans the most,” John Bircher, national public relations director of MOPH, said in a recent telephone interview.
“All the past recipients of the Patriot of the Year decide who the best candidate is. The award is a big deal to us. There is no one better than Cy.”
Bircher explained that each MOPH chapter selects its Patriot of the Year. There are 170 chapters, he said.
From the chapter level, the candidates go to the state level, where the state Patriot of the Year is chosen, and then to the regional level, where the regional Patriot of the Year is chosen, he said. West Virginia is in Region 1, which runs from Virginia to Maine. There are six regions.
From the six regional candidates, the Patriot of the Year is selected, Bircher said.
“It goes from 170 candidates down to one,” he said.
Kammeier still volunteers at the Martinsburg VA Medical Center’s nursing home once a week and teaches a brief history lesson there, he said. He chaired the VAVS Executive Council, which plans coordinated activities for hospitalized veterans and nursing home patients. He represented the VAMC at the Veterans Integrated Service Network Regional Headquarters in Baltimore.
He has received seven Outstanding Service Awards from the VAMC in Martinsburg and has been recognized by the American Legion, Marine Corps League and Daughters of the American Revolution.
He was featured in The Journal’s Unsung Heroes series in 2010.
Originally from Cold Spring, Minnesota, he joined the Marines on his 18th birthday, Feb. 14, 1951, during the Korean War. He arrived in Korea in December 1952, where he was attached to the 1st Marine Division. He saw one major battle during his tour. Otherwise, he went on a lot of patrols, he said.
After several assignments with the Marine Corps in Minnesota, Washington, D.C., and Albany, Georgia, he was sent to Vietnam in 1968, just in time for the Tet Offensive. He was an advisor to Vietnamese Marines, having attended Army Special Warfare School at Ft. Bragg, North Carolina.
“It was rewarding,” he told The Journal. “I felt that we did something. I worked with a Vietnamese Marine battalion and we got along well.”
It was during his tour of duty in Vietnam that he was wounded during an ambush for which he received the Purple Heart.
“It was a minor wound,” Kammeier said. “A ‘qualifying round.’ It wasn’t serious. Sometimes I feel guilty when I see guys who have lost limbs or worse.”
After Vietnam, he returned to Washington, where he served as the administration officer for the Marine commandant. He retired in 1974 with the rank of captain.
After the service, Kammeier spent two years as executive director of the Leatherneck Association and five years as executive director of the Marine Corps League. He also worked in the private sector for several years.
In an emergency, Kammeier was asked to step in as editor of the Purple Heart magazine. It was supposed to be for one issue only. He ended up editing the magazine for 12 years, he said.
He served as commander of MOPH Chapter 646 and adjutant of the chapter. He also served as adjutant for the West Virginia MOPH Department.
“I have a loving wife of 62 years, Mary, who lets me do a lot,” Kammeier said.
Chartered by Congress in 1958, The Military Order of the Purple Heart is composed of military men and women who received the Purple Heart Medal for wounds suffered in combat. Although MOPH membership is restricted to the combat wounded, it supports all veterans and their families with a myriad of nationwide programs by chapters and National Service Officers.

Republican Mike Berryhill has a lot of opinions, but he hasn't found his voice as he tries to unseat Rep. Dennis Cardoza, D-Merced.
That was evident Friday as the two debated for an endorsement from the Latino Community Roundtable in Modesto. Berryhill seemed to campaign against President Barack Obama instead of against the Merced Demo- crat, but was on his heels while Cardoza stood up for his votes.
"I want my 11 grand- children," Berryhill said, pausing to name each one, "to grow up in America, the same America you and I grew up in, not America the socialist state.
"Today we are at a tipping point. It's clear we need a complete change in Congress."
His ideas to boost the economy: Roll back Democratic legislation and cut taxes on capital gains.
That sums up where Berryhill, a farmer and former Turlock Irrigation District director, has been over the past year -- a heavy dose of partisanship mixed with broad ideas from the GOP base. His Web site advertises his views on plans for a mosque near ground zero (opposed), gay marriage (opposed and seeking a constitutional amendment to ban it), and Obama's efforts to cull unneeded nuclear weapons (opposed).
Those are all hot-button issues, but they come off as unfocused given the San Joaquin Valley's sobering unemployment rate and continued housing crisis.
He launched his bid a year ago by declaring, "We cannot have a member of Congress representing the Central Valley who is more concerned with protecting a 3-inch fish and Nancy Pelosi than in protecting the jobs and future of our families and farms."
It's in Berryhill's interest to make this race about Obama and House Speaker Pelosi of San Francisco. He can make that case based on Cardoza's status on the House Rules Committee, an influential post that calls on him to vote with Pelosi when it matters most.
But Cardoza isn't Pelosi, and he drilled home his local credentials at the roundtable.
For starters, Cardoza demonstrated the advantages of incumbency by touting his work to maintain support for the University of California at Merced as a job-generating research school for the San Joaquin Valley. He highlighted federally funded economic stimulus projects, outlined his collaborative work with valley Republicans to open spigots for farms in spite of the environmental regulations Berryhill loathes, and he talked circles around his opponent on the finer points of bills before Congress.
That's to be expected, and if you want the kind of change Berryhill advertises, Cardoza's experience isn't going to help him get your vote.
But Berryhill dropped the ball on a question about which bills in Congress would help reform immigration. Given the audience, this question was one he knew was coming.
Instead of saying how he'd reform immigration, he vented about Mexico's drug war. That let Cardoza jab, "How can you say you want to represent the people in Congress if you don't know where you stand on the immigration bills in Congress?"
Cardoza laid out his priorities -- border enforcement, guest workers and a path to citizenship that keeps families together. Berryhill then said he agreed with Cardoza
on an immigra- tion platform that generally lines up with San Joaquin Valley needs.
Cardoza also took an opportunity to punch back at Berryhill's attempts to lump him with far left Democrats. He cited a Modesto Bee report that showed high salaries at the Turlock Irrigation District and dissed Berryhill for awarding them while approving rate increases.
Berryhill said the TID salaries are based on performance, and he highlighted the utility's comparably low electricity rates.
But, as Cardoza said, "People who live in glass houses shouldn't be casting stones about mismanagement."
Here's the nonpartisan good news about their sparring: We're fortunate to see Cardoza explain what's been happening in Washington while Berryhill holds his feet to the fire. Cardoza was unopposed two years ago and had a relatively unknown opponent in 2006.

The potential risks of playing too many video games have been debated since arcades, home consoles and computers began going mainstream in the 1970s and 80s. But the World Health Organization announced on Monday that it is labeling “gaming disorder” as a mental health condition for the first time, and has included the term in its updated International Classification of Disease being published this year.
WHO doesn’t give a specific window for whether four hours, 12 or 24 counts as too much time gaming. It warns that the digital distraction becomes a disorder when “increasing priority [is] given to gaming to the extent that gaming takes precedence over other life interests and daily activities,” and if the person continues to play or escalates how much they play despite negative consequences, such as interfering with their work or education, dissolving their relationships and hurting their personal health. more

General Motors recalled nearly 200,000 Hummer H3s last week over fears that they might catch fire. But it turns out that GM knew that flaming Hummers were a problem for several years before that. And what’s worse, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration exclusively told Jalopnik that GM did not act until the feds threatened to launch a formal investigation.
Hummer H3 owners had been complaining to NHTSA for years, pleading for some sort of recourse after a problem was noted with the blower motor in the heating and air conditioning system. The connector and the resistor could short out, quickly causing a fire.
The first reported Hummer H3 caught fire in August of 2008, and its owner notified NHTSA just a month later. In total, there were 73 incidents involving the HVAC blower motor, including reports of burned or melted components, smoke, and fire itself up to and including total loss of the vehicle, by our count.
One person’s car was completely immolated, preventing them from opening the doors of the burned-out hulk.
It’s known by now that despite all of these complaints NHTSA generally ignores them, so it’s up to GM to notify the regulators if it thinks there’s a safety issue. In fact, as part of a GM settlement with the government, the company is required to meet with NHTSA every single month to notify the Feds if they think there’s a potential safety issue.
Dewalt 20V Max Cordless Drill & Driver Kit
Comes equipped with an LED which goes on when the trigger is pulled. You’ll a clear view of whatever you are drilling or screwing with minimal shadows.
But despite the first fire occurring at the latest in 2008, GM still waited until January of this year to notify NHTSA.
And when the automaker did, it tried to downplay it, NHTSA told us.
(In response to our inquiries over the matter, a General Motors spokesperson told us that “GM routinely has discussions on open investigations with NHTSA, and we do not characterize the nature of those discussions.”)
GM listed the H3 resistor failures on an accounting of safety concerns presented to NHTSA in January of this year, NHTSA said, but the GM count of complaints and fires was revealed to be lower than that compiled by NHTSA after the agency reviewed all of its own data.
Clearly, there was some sort of discrepancy, though it’s still not quite clear whether it was by miscounting or because GM was simply unaware of the complaints.
NHTSA went back to GM in June, specifically noting that there was a problem with GM’s numbers. Since GM had a history of trying to downplay potentially life-threatening safety issues, NHTSA says they gave them a choice: Issue a recall or face formal investigation.
GM quickly capitulated, and on July 9th, they issued the first recall notice.
This is all too familiar territory for GM customers, as it’s a company with a checkered history of dealing with recalls.
Starting over a decade ago, it put faulty ignition switches into its cars, which the company knew about and ignored, until it became a catastrophic problem. Eventually, those faulty switches resulted in the deaths of over 100 people and GM finally issued a recall.
This angered many, including NHTSA, which is responsible for keeping us safe on the roads. At the time of the government’s eventual settlement with GM, United States Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx had harsh words for the company, saying that “what we cannot tolerate, what we will not tolerate, is a person or company who knows danger exists and says nothing.”
It turns out, that once again, GM could have known, or should have known, there was a danger was lurking in its cars, and let out barely a whimper.

Shadows Don't Scare Commander Keen!!
Shadows Don't Scare Commander Keen!! was composed by Bobby Prince for the game Commander Keen IV: Secret of the Oracle (DOS). The song was composed using Sequencer Plus Gold and was written from the ground up for the Sound Blaster FM synthesizer. The song is played in the Shadowlands over world map.
The songs carry no internal titles, but was named "shadows" in the archive by John Romero. The official title was verified by Bobby Prince.
|Final Version||1991-11-22||0:20|| |
There is one earlier version of this particular track available and the final track, making a total of two different revisions.
The first of these was extracted from the pre-release demo version of the game that was released October 9, 1991. Even here it was used as the music for the over world map. Notably it is actually the only music used in this demo since the game levels themselves lacked music. One can clearly hear that the music sounds quite different at this point, even if the resemblance is uncanny.
And the final version was naturally included in the game when the shareware was released on November 22, 1991.


Ferrying over 35 million passengers daily in cities across the world, the bus-rapid transit (BRT) system has proven to be the balm for urban commute woes. Yet, its mention in the Indian transport circles evokes a lingering hangover of the system’s massive failure in Delhi.
Why Delhi chose to go the BRT way
By 2004, the Delhi population was caught in the upswing of urban migration and public transport woes — with the “Killer Blueline” buses on a rampage. It was also when experts had assembled to conceive the Delhi BRT system. A high-quality bus-based transit system, it aimed to deliver fast, comfortable, and affordable services at metro-level capacities.
Worldover successful BRT systems were set up with segregated lanes, stations typically aligned to the center of the road, off-board fare collection, and fast and frequent operations. The Delhi BRT network, however, met some but overlooked most of these benchmarks. This disregard and ensuing public outcry led to its failure and demise.
Here’s a look at what went wrong and why the discourse surrounding the Delhi BRT needs a tone check.
Losing face: media and public outcry
One of the point of contention against the Delhi BRT, among Delhi commuters, was the soaring travel time. But it was found that commute hours for BRT users saw a significant drop of 40%. The project affected motorists and it is these voices that rang louder in echo chambers created by media outlets.
This was followed by court cases which sought entry of cars to the bus-only lanes, contesting the value of “wealth creators” with that of bus users. In 2012, the Delhi High Court quashed the plea, quoting Bogota Mayor Enrique Peñalosa, “A developed country is not one where the poor own cars. It is one where the rich use public transport.”
The verdict wasn’t enough to calm the clamour for scrapping the initiative. The case offered insight to how misinformed media reports were able to pushback on a “basic” BRT setup, while throttling bus transit.
From BRT bus-only lane to free-for-all lane
To begin with, there were never dedicated BRT buses for the BRT bus lanes. So low-floor buses were brought in haphazardly to fill in this void. After resolving the initial confusion regarding the operation of the lanes, they were thrown open to buses of all sizes, utility, and forms. This led to congestion and bus bunching, as many of these poorly maintained buses would either breakdown or stall the low-floor “BRT buses”.
Even so, the Delhi BRT managed to carry 12,000 passengers per hour per direction, albeit at a grinding speed of 13 km/hr. An indication that the transit system was doing its job but lane congestion was clearly hindering its performance.
Commuters struggled without level boarding
One of the key USP of BRT transit is accessibility to all commuters — especially children, caregivers, the elderly, and the disabled. And the Delhi BRT missed the mark as it overlooked level boarding. Therefore, the network witnessed commuters struggling to board or alight buses.
Simply put, level boarding requires the bus station platforms and the floors of the bus fleet designed to match their height. This allows seamless movement and accessibility to commuters. In Delhi’s case the lack of dedicated BRT buses exacerbated the problem.
Anything but free-flowing
What does a city get when it builds an entire transport network on the premise of free-flowing transit, but ignores the free-flowing bit. The Delhi BRT it is! The system which was dedicated to prioritise and facilitate bus movement did anything but that.
With six-phase intersections, traffic management along the 6 km stretch was never worked out to improve bus movement. And this failure was evident as junctions lay witnessed to buses piling up by the dozen and commuters caught in the chaos of boarding or deboarding on the carriageways itself.
Stepchild treatment: Delhi Metro over BRT
Among Delhi BRT critics an analysis would sound incomplete without drawing comparison with the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC). A world-renowned and efficient transit system, the Delhi Metro has been catering to the needs of many a daily passengers. How many you ask? Around 23 lakh in 2019. Now, compare that to Delhi’s 40 lakh bus ridership — which has been wavering off-late given its state of neglect — and investing in a bus-based transit system seems a plausible move.
The Delhi Metro is doing a good job because of the autonomy and funding it receives. Whereas in Delhi BRT’s case, there wasn’t even a unified body to overlook the gamut of functions. This led to various obstacles, the most evident being lane enforcement. The BRT lanes were pretty much a free-for-all, with private vehicles and buses of all kinds fighting out in the meleè.
Now, let’s look at the disparity in cost. The 6 km Ambedkar Nagar to Moolchand (Delhi) BRT stretch, which included the BRT and walking and cycling infrastructure, cost about Rs 200 crore to build and a further Rs 150 crore to dismantle the bus lane. While the metro rail costs the exchequer Rs 550 crore per km for underground and Rs 250 crore per km for the elevated line.
Limited scope for a limited corridor
Planned as a four-corridor project, the Delhi BRT was caught in a limbo pretty early on. The initial 18 km stretch, from Ambedkar Nagar to Delhi Gate, was launched on a trial run of 5.8 km on April 2008. And that’s all that was left of it when the system was dismantled.
The limitation of the Delhi BRT’s potential can be directly attributed to the limitation in expanding the corridors and the network. Though bus speeds improved within the pilot stretch, they would sink as soon as buses would get out of the network into mixed traffic.
Lack of public acceptance due to lack of outreach
One of the key observations from the Delhi BRT debacle is that the public doesn’t take to rapid transit networks like ducks to water. The Delhi BRT severely lacked in public outreach and the system utilisation was affected due to this dearth.
The BRT in Delhi was introduced to challenge conventional bus commute, which barely offered comfort and convenience. Yet, little to no information about this transformation and usage of the system was disseminated among the general public, most importantly bus users. So naturally what ensued was chaos on the BRT stations and lanes.
With Delhi planning to revisit the BRT project, though elevated, these above points along with global benchmarks needs to be part of the conversation. The city has a chance to rewrite its transport history and revitalise a transit system which is time-tested and continues to serve a majority of its people.
In the second blog, of this three-part BRT series, we talk about the basics of getting BRT right and how Hubbali-Dharwad could be close to the gold standard.

The Public Policy Institute of California has released new data that shows significant reductions in the large racial disparities in Covid-related deaths among Latinos during the pandemic.
According to the California Department of Public Health, in January 2021 the monthly death rate of Latinos aged 18 and over in California was 55 per 100,000. This is the highest of any racial or ethnic group. During the same time, the death rate for white Californians was 38 per 100,000.
This month, Covid-related deaths had decreased significantly overall, and the rate for Latinos was now at 1 per 100,000. This is lower than that of white Californians who have a death rate of 2.5 per 100,000.
According to the California Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the latest vaccination rate is 62.1% for Hispanics aged 18-49 years. The rates for Latinos over 50 are in the 70% category.
Shannon McConville, a policy institute research fellow who wrote the analysis, stated that if California had launched its vaccination campaign, there would have been an "exacerbation" of disparities. She said that equity gaps have narrowed partly because of efforts to put equity at the heart of the vaccination campaign.
She stated that California tried to prevent access to vaccines or make equity a part of the vaccine rollout.
The California Department of Health published a "health equity plan" for all counties in December 2020. The document, which was 73 pages long, acknowledged the impact of structural racism on access to employment, housing, and "quality care". It also highlighted the underrepresentation in the essential workforce of low-income communities, who have less access paid leave and other forms to prevent viruses.
This strategy highlighted examples of equity-focused mitigation strategies across the state. Northern California's Sonoma County was one of those examples. It created a group with community-based providers to improve Covid, vaccine-related case management and response among Latinos. Kings County in central California set aside federal Covid money for hotel rooms to allow essential workers to be isolated during the pandemic.
According to a February Journal of General Internal Medicine study, the equity gap in Covid-related death between white and Latino Californians began to close in July 2021. Researchers from several California universities contributed to the study. They cited a variety of factors as the reason for the decline, including previous infection and immunity.
California's decline is in line with national trends. The Covid-related death rate among Hispanics was 0.14 per 100,000 as of May 21. This is the most recent available CDC data. It does not have a six-week delay. Whites had 0.33.
McConville stated that she believes it is important to "continue focusing on access and understanding how to get people vaccinated."
She stated that it was important to keep the equity lens in view as people are boosted and the virus evolves.
