China, Russia, France, the UK and the US all have considerable capabilities for seabed operations and underwater capabilities. Indian Navy does lack such capability which is urgently required, especially given China’s escalating incursions into the Indian Ocean Region (IOR).

On October 6, 2022, the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) successfully tested armed unmanned remote controlled boats. These boats have been jointly developed by the DRDO in collaboration with Sagar Defence Engineering - a private defence production start-up. This was a good prelude to the upcoming DefExpo 2022 that is expected to unveil many new innovations.
Speaking to media after testing the three boats, DRDO Research and Development Establishment Group Director P.M. Naik said, “With no human on the vessel, the video feed will be transferred to the ground control station. It will be useful for surveillance. This boat is useful for reconnaissance and patrolling. Weapon is also mounted on the boat in case of any insurgent. We are currently testing this at Bhama Askhed Dam to build the confidence level of our team." He further said that that the boats are useful for reconnaissance of overall maritime security.
DRDO is developing underwater nuclear capable drones that are likely to be undetectable and uninterruptible, carrying 25-33 kg warheads, and a range of 140 plus nautical miles
According to the media, these boats have an endurance of about four hours. Currently, the boat can sail at a maximum speed of 10 nautical miles per hour. However, the speed can be further increased to 25 nautical miles per hour. Some variants of these boats use an electric propulsion system with lithium batteries, while others have a petrol engine on board.
A social media post says that the DRDO is developing underwater nuclear capable drones that are likely to be undetectable and uninterruptible, carrying 25-33 kg warheads, and a range of 140 plus nautical miles. This perhaps is the beginning of a DRDO project. But the Indian Navy does lack such underwater capability which is urgently required; especially given China’s escalating incursions into the Indian Ocean Region (IOR). Our Navy’s underwater offensive capabilities are presently limited to submarines. However, only three-four submarines are modern with the rest being of the 1980 vintage.
In 2021, the Navy had announced its intent to purchase many unmanned aerial and undersea systems to considerably increase its observation capacity. The Navy also stated that it would prioritise domestic procurement of unmanned systems.
Larsen & Toubro (L&T) has inked a MoU with Bengaluru-based NewSpace Research & Technologies to design and manufacture underwater launched UAVs
In June 2022, the Ministry of Defence (MoD) initiated a preliminary procedure to acquire autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) or underwater drones with dual observation and strike capabilities. Concurrently, the media stated that the DRDO is also attempting to improve submarine situational awareness and real-time imagery.
During the ‘Swavlamban 2022’ conclave held on July 18-19, 2022, the Navy unveiled a roadmap to develop more than 75 indigenous new technologies and products. A Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) has been signed between the DRDO and the Naval Innovation and Indigenisation Organisation (NIIO) to work on a collaborative project named SPRINT (Supporting Pole-Vaulting in Research & Development) through Innovations for Defence Excellence (iDEX) and Technology Development Acceleration Cell (TDAC).
Under the DRDO’s Technology Development Fund programme Larsen & Toubro (L&T) has inked a MoU with Bengaluru-based NewSpace Research & Technologies to design and manufacture underwater launched UAVs. The L&T-NewSpace Research & Technologies underwater drone named ‘Amogh’ is reported to initially be used for surveillance. However, no timeline has been made public for its construction.
Mazagon Dock Limited (MDL) has launched a programme to develop an extra Large Unmanned Underwater Vehicle (XLUUV). The XLUUV is meant to perform tasks like periodic communication, payload deployment, pre-programmed mission execution, and return to base.

The XLUUV is meant to perform tasks like periodic communication, payload deployment, pre-programmed mission execution, and return to base. The internal and exterior cargo capacities are meant to be reconfigurable depending on mission-specific requirements.
The Indian Navy has Deep Sea Submergence Vehicles (DSSVs) for submarine rescue (deep-submergence rescue vehicle (DSRV)), which may also be utilised for specific purposes other than submarine rescue. It also has INS ‘Sagardhwani’ which is to have a DRDO developed system for launching AUVs. A prototype was reportedly made by the DRDO in 2015 but there have been no reports of any trials having been conducted.
China, Russia, France, the UK and the US all have considerable capabilities for seabed operations and underwater capabilities. China has several UUVs which have mapped the deep waters worldwide. UUVs are also used in subsea warfare. For instance, China’s HSU001 UUV is designed for seabed warfare capabilities, allowing it to remain undetected on the ocean below for lengthy periods. China also has the highest budget for deep sea activities, like the US.

The recent sabotage of Russia’s Nord Stream underwater pipeline (most likely by the US) has highlighted the significance of such capability which can have strategic repercussions. Undersea pipelines and underwater internet cables can be damaged or cut, which are live threats today that also adversely affect countries at large since the underwater cable networks cater for both the military and civilian communications.
Finally, the Navy needed underwater armed drone capabilities ‘yesterday’ and indigenous development is likely to take few years from now. The ‘Make in India’ in conjunction foreign original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) would be good. However, given the criticality, government would need to consider a mix of imports, indigenous manufacture under license, and ‘Make in India’ – same as in the case of armed aerial drones for the Army and the Air Force.

How much do stitches cost for dogs? This is a difficult question to answer because it depends on the veterinarian, the severity of the wound, the size of the dog, and the geographical location. However, we can provide a rough estimate. On average, stitches for dogs cost between $50 and $300. The majority of dog owners are able to pay for this procedure without financial assistance. However, there are a number of organizations that offer financial assistance for veterinary care, including the Humane Society, the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, and RedRover. If you are unable to afford stitches for your dog, you may be able to get assistance from one of these organizations.
How often do dogs need stitches?
Dogs need stitches relatively often. The most common time for dogs to need stitches is when they have an injury that requires closure. For example, if a dog chews on something and it tears their skin, they will likely need stitches.
There are a few things that you as a pet owner can do to help prevent your dog from needing stitches. First, make sure that your dog is up to date on their vaccines. This will help to prevent them from contracting any diseases that could lead to an injury. Secondly, keep your dog well groomed. This means that you should regularly brush their fur and trim their nails. Lastly, provide your dog with plenty of toys and activities to keep them occupied. This will help to prevent them from getting bored and acting out, which could lead to an injury.
If your dog does need stitches, it is important to take them to the vet as soon as possible. The sooner the wound is closed, the less likely it is to become infected. In some cases, your vet may recommend that you bring your dog in for a checkup a few days after they have received their stitches to make sure that everything is healing properly.
How long do stitches last for dogs?
There are a few factors that will determine how long stitches will last for dogs. The size and location of the wound, the type of suture material used, and the overall health of the dog will all play a role in how long the stitches will last. In general, though, stitches for dogs usually last between 7-10 days.
The size of the wound is one of the biggest factors in determining how long stitches will last. Obviously, the larger the wound, the more likely it is to reopen and require additional stitches. On the other hand, smaller wounds are less likely to reopen and can often heal without the need for stitches at all.
The location of the wound is also important. Wounds on areas of the body that see a lot of movement, like the legs, are more likely to reopen than those on more stationary parts of the body, like the head. This is because there is more chance for the wound to be reopened when there is a lot of movement.
The type of suture material used will also play a role in how long the stitches last. There are many different types of sutures available, and each has its own advantages and disadvantages. Some types of sutures are more likely to cause irritation and inflammation, which can lead to the stitches being removed early. Other types of sutures are more absorbable and will dissolve on their own over time.
The overall health of the dog is also a factor. Dogs that are in good health are more likely to heal quickly and have fewer complications than those that are sick or have other health problems. Dogs that are overweight or have diabetes are especially at risk for complications and may need to have their stitches removed earlier than normal.
In general, stitches for dogs usually last between 7-10 days. However, there are many factors that can influence how long the stitches will last. The size and location of the wound, the type of suture material used, and the overall health of the dog will all play a role in determining how long the stitches will last.
What type of stitches does a dog need?
There are a variety of types of stitches that a dog may need depending on the wound. The most common type of stitches for dogs are called "subcutaneous stitches" or "subq stitches" for short. These are the types of stitches that you would see on the outside of a dog's skin and are used to close wounds that are not too deep. The next type of stitches are called "intradermal stitches" and these are used to close wounds that are deeper, usually down to the dermis layer of skin. These types of stitches are not as common in dogs as subq stitches. The last type of stitches are called "internal stitches" and these are used to close wounds that go all the way through the skin and into the underlying tissue. These types of stitches are the least common and are usually only needed for very deep or large wounds.
How much does it cost to remove stitches for dogs?
It typically costs between $50 and $250 to remove stitches for dogs, depending on the location of the stitches and the number of stitches that need to be removed. The cost also varies depending on the veterinarian and whether the removal is being done in the office or at an emergency clinic.
How do you know if your dog needs stitches?
Many people think that if their dog is bleeding, then their dog needs stitches. However, this is not always the case. stitches are only necessary if the bleeding is coming from an internal wound or if the cut is deep. if the bleeding is coming from a surface wound, then it is likely that your dog will not need stitches. However, if you are unsure, it is always best to err on the side of caution and take your dog to the vet.
What are the risks of not getting stitches for your dog?
If your dog has a cut that is more than a quarter inch deep, has diced flesh, or bone is visible, then your dog needs stitches. If the cut is on your dog's face, leg, or body, and is longer than an inch, your dog will also need stitches. Now, if your dog's cut does not meet any of these criteria, then you have the option of not getting stitches for your dog. But, there are certain risks that come along with not getting stitches for your dog, even if the cut does not meet the above criteria.
One risk is that your dog may start to lick at the wound, which can cause further damage and even infection. If your dog licks the wound excessively, you may need to get an Elizabethan collar (cone) to prevent your dog from licking the wound.
Another risk is that the wound may not heal properly without stitches. This can lead to scarring, or even worse, the wound could reopen.
Lastly, if you decide not to get stitches for your dog, you will need to closely monitor the wound and clean it twice a day. If you notice that the wound is not healing or is getting worse, then you will need to take your dog to the vet.
So, while there are risks associated with not getting stitches for your dog, ultimately the decision is up to you. If you are comfortable closely monitoring the wound and cleaning it twice a day, then you may not need to get stitches for your dog. However, if you are not comfortable doing this, or if the wound is particularly deep or long, then you should take your dog to the vet to get stitches.
What are the risks of getting stitches for your dog?
There are a few risks associated with getting stitches for your dog. First of all, your dog may be allergic to the thread or fabric used in the stitches. This could cause irritation or infection at the site. Secondly, if your dog licks at the stitches, they may become loose and fall out prematurely, which could cause the wound to reopen. Finally, if the wound is not properly cleaned before the stitches are applied, there is a risk of infection.
How can you prevent your dog from needing stitches?
It is not uncommon for dogs to need stitches at some point in their lives. While the exact number of dogs that require stitches each year is unknown, it is clear that this is a procedure that is performed relatively often. There are a number of different ways that a dog can end up needing stitches, including accidental cuts, bites from other animals, and even surgery. Regardless of how your dog ends up requiring stitches, there are a number of things that you can do in order to help prevent this from happening.
The first and potentially most important thing that you can do to help prevent your dog from needing stitches is to keep their nails trimmed. When dog's nails get too long, they can easily become caught on something and rip. This can lead to a very bloody and painful injury that will likely require stitches to close. By keeping your dog's nails trimmed, you can help to avoid this type of accident.
Another thing that you can do to help prevent your dog from needing stitches is to be mindful of their diet. A healthy diet for a dog is important for many reasons, but one of the reasons is that it can help to strengthen their nails. Strong nails are less likely to rip or tear, and thus are less likely to require stitches. In addition to a healthy diet, you should also make sure that your dog is getting enough exercise. Exercise is important for dogs for many reasons, but one of the reasons is that it can help to strengthen their nails.
Finally, you should always be prepared for the worst. This means having a first aid kit for your dog that includes things like gauze, Band-Aids, and even vets wrap. By being prepared for an accident, you can help to ensure that your dog gets the care that they need as quickly as possible, which can help to prevent them from needing stitches.
While there is no guarantee that you can completely prevent your dog from ever needing stitches, there are a number of things that you can do to help reduce the risk. By trimming their nails, feeding them a healthy diet, and being prepared for an accident, you can help to ensure that your dog stays healthy and safe.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I give my Dog stitches?
There is no one-size-fits-all answer to this question, as the best approach may vary depending on the severity of the wound, your dog's health and overall disposition. If you're unsure whether or not to seek veterinary help for your dog's injury, it's always advised to err on the side of caution and bring them in for a checkup.
How many stitches are in a dog's incision?
There can be anywhere from one to twelve stitches in a dog's surgical incision.
When can I remove my dog’s cone after stitches?
You should remove your dog’s cone after stitches when the stitches have completely healed. Typically, this occurs 10-14 days after surgery.
Can you bathe a dog with stitches?
It is generally best to avoid bathing a dog with stitches, as the wet environment can easily irritate the skin and contaminate the wound. Soaps and detergents can also cause irritation. Caution should be exercised when bathing a dog with stitches, as proper hygiene is essential to ensure that wounds are not contaminated or irritated.
Is it safe to exercise a dog with stitches?
Many veterinarians will tell you that it is safe to exercise your dog with stitches, as long as the activity is not too strenuous. Just make sure that you watch for any changes in the swelling or redness around the stitches, and if at all possible, avoid intense exercise until the stitches have healed completely.

Tesla delivers first China-made Model 3s
Tesla delivered the first batch of Model 3 vehicles built at its Shanghai factory on Monday, moving the US electric carmaker one step closer to mass production in China.
The company delivered 15 vehicles to employees at its Gigafactory 3 plant in Shanghai. Tesla said that it plans to ramp up deliveries in January with sales expected to start early next year.
Tesla broke ground on its Shanghai factory on January 7 this year, becoming the first to benefit from a new policy allowing foreign automakers to set up wholly owned subsidiaries in China.
Tesla said the second batch of locally produced Model 3 vehicles will soon be delivered to customers and probably ahead of the upcoming Spring Festival holiday.
The China-made Model 3 vehicles, with autopilot functions, cost 355,800 yuan (US$50,923) before subsidies. Imported Model 3 vehicles start at 439,000 yuan for the longer-range version.
Tesla's factory in the Lingang New Area of the China（Shanghai) Pilot Free Trade Zone is its first superfactory outside the US.
About 11 months after construction began, the factory began trial production and the company took pre-orders for Model 3 vehicles on its official website. Twenty days later, the first batch of Model 3s were available nationwide for test drives.
Tesla previously said deliveries from the Shanghai factory would be in the first quarter of 2020.
Delivery was earlier than expected because production had been smoother than expected. Tesla said “no difficulties were encountered and the vehicles were delivered at the pace.”
Tesla also appreciated the Shanghai government for its support and assistance.
Shanghai worked closely with Tesla to speed up construction of the factory to reflect the city's good business environment for enterprises.
Elon Musk, Tesla's CEO, praised the work of Tesla’s China team during a visit in August when he said: “Tesla's Shanghai factory is progressing at a great speed. Tesla's China team has done an amazing job and I'm astounded that so much progress has been made for the Shanghai Gigafactory.”
Tesla hopes to produce 1,000 cars a week at the Shanghai plant soon, eventually ramping up to annual production of 150,000 vehicles. The company said that currently all the locally-made sedans made in Gigafactory 3 are considered sold, including those at delivery centers and waiting in the factory's parking lot.
Tesla’s locally-produced Model 3 vehicles will compete with local electric car makers, including Chinese electric car startups NIO and Xpeng Motors, as well as global brands such as Mercedes-Benz and BMW.
During the delivery ceremony at the Shanghai plant, one of the new Model 3 owners proposed.

Background- Immunization is most successful and cost-effective interventions in preventative health care. Factors such as knowledge, attitude, and practices (KAP) of parents contribute to the success or failure of the immunization program. Information about KAP about immunization is lacking in developing countries. Main reasons include ignorance of community participation in routine immunization and IEC activities. The rationale behind the study as immunization is very essential as it can protect the children from several deadly diseases. It is the mother who should be aware to get her child immunized according to the national immunization schedule. Therefore, this study was done.
Objectives- To assess the knowledge attitude and practices of mothers about immunization (upto one year) and its importance for their children of under 5 age group. To find out the association of socio demographic characteristics with the knowledge about immunization (upto one year).
Material and Methods- Hospital based cross sectional study was for a period of 6 months across all the out-patient department were mothers of children under 5 years of age attending the OPD’s were selected. Self-designed, pre-tested, semi structured, interview questionnaire was used as a study tool. Epi-info software was used for analysis and chi-square test was used.
Results- The study depicts knowledge was good in 3%, fair in 65% and poor in 30% of mothers. Similarly, attitude is good 51%, moderate 44%, poor 5%. Practice was found to be good in 66%, fair 25%, poor 9%. 81% pf mothers prefer government setting and 19% prefer private setting for immunization.
Conclusion- Counselling of mothers about immunization at the time of birth and at immunization outpatient departments must be done. Use of digital communications like television display in hospital making people acknowledged about immunization through advertisements.

Background: Obesity has been hypothesized to be associated with reduced moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) and increased sedentary time (ST). It is important to assess whether, and the extent to which, levels of MVPA and ST are suboptimal among children and adolescents with obesity. The primary objective of this study was to examine accelerometer-measured time spent in MVPA and ST of children and adolescents with obesity, compared with MVPA recommendations, and with non-obese peers. Method: An extensive search was carried out in Medline, Cochrane library, EMBASE, SPORTDiscus, and CINAHL, from 2000-2015. Study selection and appraisal: studies with accelerometer-measured MVPA and/or ST (at least 3 days and 6 hours/day) in free-living obese children and adolescents (0-19 years) were included. Study quality was assessed formally. Meta-analyses were planned for all outcomes but were precluded due to the high levels of heterogeneity across studies. Therefore, narrative syntheses were employed for all the outcomes. Results: Out of 1503 records, 26 studies were eligible with a total (n =14739 participants; n =3523 with obesity); 6/26 studies involved children aged 0-9 years and 18/26 involved adolescents aged 10.1-19 years. In the participants with obesity, the time spent in MVPA was consistently below the recommended 60 minutes/day and ST was generally high regardless of the participant’s age and gender. Comparison with controls suggested that the time spent in MVPA was significantly lower in children and adolescents with obesity, though differences were relatively small. Levels of MVPA in the obese and non-obese were consistently below recommendations. There were no marked differences in ST between obese and non-obese peers. Conclusions: MVPA in children and adolescents with obesity tends to be well below international recommendations. Substantial effort is likely to be required to achieve the recommended levels of MVPA among obese individuals in obesity treatment interventions.

Food Supply Our Main Focus In 2024 – Tinubu
The Federal Government is to expand efforts toward massive food supply to feed the nation in 2024, President Bola Tinubu said on Monday in a nationwide broadcast.
Tinubu added that provision of land for the production of staple crops across the country would receive a boost in the year.
Tinubu, in his New Year message delivered in Lagos, said that this was parts of efforts by his administration to ensure that all citizens feel the direct impact of government on their lives.
“To ensure constant food supply, security and affordability, we will step up our plan to cultivate 500,000 hectares of farmlands across the country to grow maize, rice, wheat, millet and other staple crops.
“We launched the dry season farming with 120,000 hectares of land in Jigawa State last November under our National Wheat Development Programme.
“The programme aims to enable farmers to produce sufficient certified seeds, aligning with the nation’s target of cultivating between 200,000 to 250,000 hectares of wheat under the National Agricultural Growth Scheme and Agro-pocket project.
“Federal Government will support about 150,000 to 250,000 farmers with 50 per cent input subsidy to cultivate between 200,000 to 250,000 hectares with an expected yield of 1,250,000 tonnes of wheat.
“The task of building a better nation and making sure we have a Nigerian society that cares for all her citizens is the reason I ran to become your President. It was the core of my Renewed Hope campaign message on the basis of which you voted me as President.
“Everything I have done in office, every decision I have taken and every trip I have undertaken outside the shores of our land, since I assumed office on 29 May 2023, have been done in the best interest of our country.”

Torus and WBC Welcome Latest Warrington Development
07 February 2024
Celebrating the completion of its latest Warrington scheme Torus and Warrington Borough Council (WBC) officially marked the opening of Marsh Court this week.
The £3.7 million scheme has seen 30 new apartments – all of which are available via Affordable Rent – built in central Warrington and the former site of Chevy’s Sports Bar transformed to meet the needs of the local community. Within walking distance of local amenities, public transport, restaurants, entertainment venues, and close to Warrington town centre, Marsh Court will offer new residents access to the numerous benefits the town centre offers.
Featuring several materials and build techniques to improve the energy efficiency of the building, Marsh Court meets all Future Homes Standards and has been designed in a way specifically aimed at reducing tenants' energy usage and create a home that is cheaper to run. Situated on a main road, consideration was given to noise reduction in Marsh Court’s design and additional acoustic layers have been added to the building to actively minimise noise.
As Torus’ home for five years, Warrington is somewhere the organisation is completely committed to investing in and growing with to meet the current and future needs of its communities.
Discussing the completion of Marsh Court, Chris Bowen, Managing Director at Torus Developments, said:
“I’m incredibly proud of this scheme as not only has it completely reinvigorated the site, but it has also created something that Warrington genuinely needs – more new, affordable homes. Our intention is to continue building schemes such as Marsh Court and provide even more modern, efficient homes and help inspire a sense of community for even more people in Warrington.”
Jan Calland, Torus Housing Services Director, added:
“We are delighted to have developed these much-needed new homes in Warrington, where we are committed to investing in to meet local housing needs.
“This development provides excellent quality homes at an affordable rent and in a fantastic location, well served by local amenities. Providing quality places to live and support for those who need it is central to our approach to developing thriving communities where people are proud to live and can be their best.”
WBC Leader, Councillor Hans Mundry, said:
“I’m delighted that work has been completed on Marsh Court. It will provide a real boost for people looking for a high-quality, affordable home in the heart of our town.
“This fantastic development is the latest success story for Torus in Warrington town centre and supports our ongoing work to deliver the right types of homes, meeting local demand, in all of our communities.”

Margaret and Patrick have been married just a few months when they set off on what they hope will be a great adventure-a year living in Kenya. Margaret quickly realizes there is a great deal she doesn’t know about the complex mores of her new home, and about her own husband.
A British couple invites the newlyweds to join on a climbing expedition to Mount Kenya, and they eagerly agree. But during their harrowing ascent, a horrific accident occurs. In the aftermath of the tragedy, Margaret struggles to understand what happened on the mountain and how these events have transformed her and her marriage, perhaps forever.
A Change in Altitude illuminates the inner landscape of a couple, the irrevocable impact of tragedy, and the elusive nature of forgiveness. With stunning language and striking emotional intensity, Anita Shreve transports us to the exotic panoramas of Africa and into the core of our most intimate relationships.

Question about Haier BC112G Wine Cooler
When we plug it in, the temperature is lit and we can adjust it with the buttons, but the motor doesn't run and no sound is heard when it is running. The temperature just reads what the temperature of the room is. I'm not sure if it is the motor or the compressor and we aren't sure how to fix the problem. All the wiring appears to be intact.
This is something you can not fix yourself. Remember it might cost as much as a new wine cooler to repair. As for free estimate on repait. That way if it cost to much your not out anything. Rus

To enter Self Diagnostic mode, both temperature control panel displays must be illuminated. A display can be illuminated by pressing an adjacent temperature adjustment button. When both displays are illuminated, set the freezer and refrigerator temperature settings to 5. Simultaneously press and hold all
4 temperature adjustment buttons for approximately 3 seconds. A flashing 0 in the refrigerator and freezer displays will indicate that the refrigerator is in Self Diagnostic mode.
For temperature control panels with single-digit displays, the COLDER temperature adjustment button will increment the numbers up and the WARMER temperature adjustment button will increment the numbers down. Use the freezer temperature adjustment buttons to enter the test code number in the freezer display. Use the refrigerator temperature adjustment buttons to enter the test code number in the refrigerator display. When a test code has been entered, the displays will flash to confirm the test. Press the HOLD button for 3 seconds to begin the test.
For temperature control panels with 3-digit displays, the COLDER temperature adjustment button will increment the numbers down and the WARMER temperature adjustment button will increment the numbers up. Use the freezer temperature adjustment buttons to enter the test code number in the freezer display. Use the refrigerator temperature adjustment buttons to enter the test code number in
the refrigerator display. When a test code has been entered, the displays will flash to confirm the test
code. Press any button other than a temperature adjust button to begin the test.
When testing has been completed, do one of the following things:
• Enter code 1 5 to completely reset the system.
• Enter code 1 6 to exit diagnostic mode. The temperature control panel is reset automatically.
• Unplug the refrigerator for at least 10 seconds. Test mode will terminate when the refrigerator is plugged back in.
Test mode will terminate automatically after 15 minutes of inactivity.
You need to cycle your freezer display to indicate 0 and your refrigerator display to 7.
Control and Sensor System Self-Test (0 7)
This test checks all five thermistors located throughout the unit. Once the test is initiated, the test code (0 7) will stop flashing and the thermistor test results will appear on the freezer display in the test order listed below. The thermistor test sequence number will not be shown on the display.
If the unit is not equipped with the Quick Chill option, the third thermistor (quick chill) will display a 0 and 3 audible beeps will sound at the temperature control panel. This is not a failure if the unit is not equipped with the Quick Chill option.
Thermistor test results:
• P = Pass
• 0 = Failed
• S = Short to 5 VDC
• B = Bad amplifier
Thermistor test sequence is:
1. Fresh food top thermistor
2. Fresh food bottom thermistor
3. Quick chill thermistor (displays 0 if unit is not equipped with Quick Chill option)
4. Evaporator thermistor
5. Freezer thermistor
Note: Thermistor test results will be displayed in the sequence shown above. The thermistor test sequence number will not be shown on the display.
Note the failures if any. Should ANY of thermistors fail you must replace it.
Having said that... at this point your stick with doing a manual defrost by unplugging the unit and directing a fan into the compartment for just over 2 hours to make sure ALL of the ice on the coils and in the drains has melted. (Yes it makes a water mess!)
After the manual defrost restart the unit / plug it in and once the compressor starts listen for the evaporator fan when the door switch is actuated and the condenser fan in the bottom of the unit any time the compressor is running. If either of the fans are not running you must find out why. Can be a door switch, motor winding or power to the motor. The door switch does not affect the condenser fan.
Finally if the unit is not automatically defrosting due to a component failure... i.e
Heater, themistor, or wiring you will see ice build up again in 2 to 3 days again and you will have to keep going through the manual defrosting routine until the automatic defrosting problem is resolved.
Thanks for choosing FixYa.

The PlayStation Portable (PSP) is a handheld game console developed by Sony. Development of the console was announced during E3 2003, and it was unveiled on May 11, 2004, at a Sony press conference before E32004. The system was released in Japan on December 12, 2004, in North America on March 24, 2005, and in the PAL region on September 1, 2005. It primarily competed with the Nintendo DS, as part of the seventh generation of video games.
The PlayStation Portable was the more powerful system when launched just after the Nintendo DS in 2004. It was the first real competitor to Nintendo's handheld domination, where many challengers, such as SNK's Neo Geo Pocket and Nokia's N-Gage, failed. Its GPU encompassed high-end graphics on a handheld, while its 4.3 inch viewing screen and multi-media capabilities, such as its video player and TV tuner, made the PlayStation Portable a major mobile entertainment device at the time. It also features connectivity with the PlayStation 3, other PSPs and the Internet. It is the only handheld console to use an optical disc format, Universal Media Disc (UMD), as its primary storage medium.
MovieMaker Magazine is an American publication focused on the art and business of filmmaking with a special emphasis on independent film. It was founded by Timothy Rhys in 1993 as a small, regional publication based in Seattle.

SIU Warns Campus of Possible Layoffs
By Casey Northcutt
Carbondale, IL – Southern Illinois University President Glenn Poshard announced yesterday the university could face layoffs and a hiring freeze during the next fiscal year. SIU Spokesman Rod Sievers says future state appropriations will determine if cuts will be made. This is the seventh year in a row in which Illinois has experienced declining or stagnant revenues for higher education. Sievers says SIU could possibly survive the year without job cuts, but if cutbacks continue, the school could be forced to consider layoffs and tuition increases.

There are two sides to every story and Ludacris’ baby mama is ready to tell hers.
Just last week the “Move B*tch” rapper revealed that he had fathered a child during his relationship with longtime girlfriend, Eudoxie Agnan. He then claimed the new baby mama, Tamika Fuller, was a gold-digger who was trying to extort him for a car and some cash.
Well, Tamika didn’t take too kindly to those words and decided to post her thoughts via Twitter. In her messages she claims that she only asked to borrow Luda’s car, not have it and she also says the former radio DJ has yet to see his 1-month old daughter, Cai Bella Bridges.

The East Midlands of England includes the counties of Derbyshire, Leicestershire, Lincolnshire, Northamptonshire, Nottinghamshire and Rutland. So are these areas primarily supplied by hard or soft water? Let’s take a look!
What is the scale of hardness?
We can categorise water hardness into 3 different groups, the ppm stands for parts per million and refers to the amount of calcium carbonate and magnesium present in the water:
Soft to moderately soft water – 1 -100ppm
Medium to moderately hard water- 100-200ppm
Hard to very hard water – Over 200 ppm
Water is hard when it runs through or sits in areas with high mineral content. Water taken from certain sources is much more likely to be hard. Groundwater sources such as underground aquifers are a prime example of a hard water source.
Does Derbyshire have hard water?
Derbyshire has medium to moderately hard water and is supplied by Anglian Water and Severn Trent Water.
Does Leicestershire have hard water?
The water in Leicestershire is classed mostly from medium to moderately hard. Leicestershire is supplied by Anglian Water and Severn Trent Water.
Does Lincolnshire have hard water?
Water in Lincolnshire is classed as hard to very hard. The water here is mostly supplied by Anglian Water and Severn Trent Water.
Does Northamptonshire have hard water
Northamptonshire has medium to moderately hard water and is supplied by Anglian Water and Severn Trent Water.
Does Nottinghamshire have hard water
Water in Nottinghamshire is classed as medium to moderately hard. It is supplied by Anglian Water and Severn Trent Water.
Does Rutland have hard water?
Rutland has medium to moderately hard water and is supplied by Anglian Water and Severn Trent Water.
Which Water suppliers are active in this region?
There are 2 different water suppliers across the East Midlands region. We’ll take a quick look at them and where they source their water from.
Anglian Water: Anglian water sources 50% of its supply from rivers and above ground reservoirs and the other 50% from underground reservoirs and aquifers.
Severn Trent Water: Two thirds of Severn Trents water comes from groundwater sources, the remaining third is taken from surface water sources.
The East Midlands has water of middling hardness. All of the counties in the area have similar water taken from a mixture of groundwater and surface water sources. This means there can be some variation in the water supplied depending on the area. If you are moving to the East Midlands or already live there and are fed up with the limescale you may want to look into a way to treat your water.

Malicious agents are moving faster than the speed of business. Even more worrisome, most companies are relying on legacy approaches to security that are no longer capable of meeting current threats. In the modern cloud, threat diversity is rapidly expanding, necessitating more sophisticated security protocols than those used in the past or in desktop environments.

Researchers in Japan who previoiusly developed an anti-arthritis compound called Synoviolin have found that it may also affect harmful fat tissue. They found that giving Synoviolin to mice resulted in a reduction in yellow-white, or visceral fat – the type of fat that is responsible for increased risk of heart disease. This is only a prelminary study, but it adds to the growing body of research that can eventually link abdominal obesity with pain and inflammation.

This webinar reviews the validation and clinical implementation of BRCAplus, a multi-gene hereditary breast cancer test. Although BRCA1 and BRCA2 account for a large portion of hereditary breast cancer, there are many other genes that differentially impact the risk for breast cancer. BRCAplus was designed to test for mutations in genes that are known to have a high breast cancer risk and that have management guidelines associated with them. With the advent of next-generation sequencing (NGS), it is now possible to test for multiple genes that can increase the risk to develop breast cancer at once. (June 2014)

Earlier this week actor/comedian Robin Williams was found dead in his home an apparent suicide. What many people did not realize was that Williams suffered from clinical depression for years. Outwardly the man was all laughs and smiles but on the inside he was fighting a battle for his life. Clinical depression is becoming a more common ailment in today's society, and unfortunately the signs of depression are often missed or ignored. Even though there are celebrities out there who are trying to convince the world it is okay to talk about mental illness the subject is still considered taboo by many.
What IS clinical depression?
Who can be affected by it?
What are the most common treatments?
How common are depression related suicides?
Why does society avoid talking about mental illness?
Can raising awareness make a difference?

PROMOTING HOME-GROWN TALENT AT HARRISON CLARK RICKERBYS
A strong belief in growing our own – talent, not garden produce – means that Harrison Clark Rickerbys has welcomed three new assistant solicitors from within its own ranks; two in Cheltenham and one in the Wye Valley.
Dan Godfrey, Mandip Riar and Laura Williams all joined the firm as paralegals, and have now qualified, completing about two years of training each and experiencing different legal disciplines in six different teams.
Dan, who is a member of the banking litigation team based in Cheltenham, started work with the firm in December 2008. He deals with a wide range of banking disputes, acting for both lenders and customers in relation to consumer credit actions, financial mis-selling and guarantee claims. He also assists with general commercial litigation matters and is able to advise and act for clients in disputes.
After a law degree in Birmingham, Mandip joined Harrison Clark Rickerbys in March 2013, working as a paralegal in Worcester. She is now based in the corporate team in Cheltenham. She has, as part of her training worked in corporate, employment and commercial property teams, and now assists Richard Wilkey and Rachael Reeves on issues including mergers and acquisitions, shareholders’ agreements and corporate restructuring.
She said: “I am delighted to be able to stay with the firm and grow my career here; I’ve had some excellent support and guidance through my training and I look forward to being able to develop further.”
Laura, whose training was based in Hereford, now works from the firm’s new Wye Valley office, close to her local roots. She works in the family law team there, dealing with issues including children’s law, divorce, pre- and post-nuptial agreements. She is also the National Representative for the Worcestershire Junior Lawyers Division.
Jonathan Brew, the firm’s senior partner, said: “It is vital to nurture talent whenever possible, and investing in training and development is always worthwhile. I hope that Laura, Dan and Mandip enjoy their new roles and we look forward to seeing them flourish.”
Harrison Clark Rickerbys has 400 staff and partners based at offices in Cheltenham, the Wye Valley, Hereford, Worcester, Birmingham and the Thames Valley, who provide a complete spectrum of legal services to both business and private clients, regionally and nationwide. The firm also has a number of highly successful teams specialising in individual market sectors, including health and social care, education, agricultural and rural affairs, hospitality and leisure, defence, security and the forces, and construction.


Another “co-living” developer is eyeing up Woolwich, with a plans emerging for en-suite bedrooms and community space on the site of the old Catholic Club on Beresford Street.
Greenwich Council approved an 11-storey development on the land in 2017, but that planning permission has now lapsed.
Now Re:shape plans to take on the site to create what it calls “a more inclusive scheme, “a more inclusive scheme, which delivers a greater package of benefits for the local community, reflects the unique history and heritage of Woolwich, and responds to specific housing need within the borough”.
Co-living, which blends elements of living in a bedsit and staying in a hotel, has become increasingly popular with property investors in recent years. They are usually aimed at young professionals who are happy to share kitchens and other facilities in return for being able to use social facilities on the site.
Earlier this year, one developer submitted early plans to Greenwich Council to build 660 rooms on the former Greenwich University Island Site, which would make it one of the biggest schemes in the world. The site currently has permission for 310 flats. .
Re:shape says it will market the Catholic Club scheme to locals, key workers and essential workers who earn less than £35,000 a year and are under 35 before the properties go on the open market.
It also says it will offer free use of the building’s fitness studios, cinema space, games room, kitchen spaces and event space to local groups, and will ensure this is written into any planning agreement for the site. Fight for Peace, a youth centre across the Thames in North Woolwich, is helping to design the roof terrace, public art installations and community spaces.
The developer will pay Greenwich Council to provide “affordable” housing elsewhere, which it is compelled to do under the mayor’s London Plan.
Re:shape is holding an exhibition of its plans at the Dial Arch pub in the Royal Arsenal on Saturday between 10am and 2pm. It is also hosting online meetings on Wednesday 4 August and Wednesday 1 September at 6pm; it is asking people to sign up in advance for the online events.
Jermaine Browne, a director of Re:shape, said: “We are excited to be sharing our plans for this important site with the local community and we hope local residents, workers and young people will want to get involved in the process and help shape the proposals. Our aspiration is to bring people together through adopting an open door policy and to help diversify and enhance rental housing options in Woolwich for local people.
“Giving back to the local community is an important part of our ethos and our trademark community investment programme will ensure the project has a transformational and positive impact on the neighbourhood for many years to come.”
Earlier this year Greenwich councillors rejected 595 build-to-rent flats at nearby Macbean Street. The scheme would have featured five blocks of up to 22 storeys on the site of the old Woolwich Polytechnic school.

Irish opera singer Gemma Ní Bhriain talks about performing for the Irish National Opera, engaging young people with classical music – and debunks half a dozen ill-founded myths about opera.
Traditionally, opera might have been seen as a very distant cousin of rock and pop, but the links are far deeper than you might think. For a start, consider how many times you’ve read a review extolling the virtues of “operatic vocals”, with the late Freddie Mercury of Queen one of the greatest exponents of the style.
Indeed, Mercury even collaborated with the great Spanish operatic tenor, Monserrat Caballe, on the 1988 album Barcelona, from which the title track was an enormous international hit. Elsewhere, the celebrated Italian tenor Luciano Pavarotti enjoyed incredible success in bringing operatic singing to a rock audience, collaborating with Irish superstars U2, Dolores O’Riordan and Bob Geldof, as well as other legends like James Brown, Lou Reed, Elton John and, of course, Queen’s Brian May and Roger Taylor.
The message being, of course, that the world of opera has far greater reach, and is far more accessible, than might often be imagined.
Here at home, the Irish National Opera (INO) is Ireland’s national company. They are producing wonderfully accessible opera throughout Ireland – and also overseas. In fact Irish opera singers are just as capable of hitting the international heights as Irish writers, film stars and musicians working in other genres.
USED IN MOVIES
Gemma Ní Bhriain is an opera singer from Tallaght. After college, the singer began her professional career in Paris, subsequently performing in some of the world’s leading opera houses. Currently preparing for her role in Faust with INO, Gemma is very grateful to INO for creating work during the pandemic.
“I’m so proud to perform for INO,” Gemma says. “The team have created an opera community in Ireland, where singers can really feel at home.”
In her upcoming role with INO, Gemma plays Siebel in the renowned Faust.
“It’s a French opera,” she explains. “It’s quite dramatic, so there’s a large chorus. This version has no cuts, which is great! Normally, different opera companies or directors will leave out sections to shorten operas. With Faust, there are so many versions out there because of the different cuts. But with this one, you really get to experience the fullness of it.”
The good news is that there is a whole season of accessible operas on the way, which should act as a powerful statement of just how fulfilling – and enjoyable – a night at the opera can be.
“Even if people can’t get to Faust, there’s so much on offer,” Gemma says. “The other operas of the season are two of the most well-known, La Bohéme and La Traviata. There’s music in these operas – even in Faust – that people know, but don’t even know they know. The music from these operas is used all the time in adverts, in movies and on TV. You’ll be surprised how much you know!”
Opera is booming among young audiences in continental Europe. Gemma is determined that opera should achieve the same status here in Ireland – so, to conclude, she debunks some of the myths that have attached themselves to opera!
• See Gemma Ní Bhriain in Faust, October 1-7 at the Gaiety Theatre, Dublin.
OPERA MYTHS DEBUNKED
Myth: There’s only one type of opera.
Gemma: “When people hear opera, they think you have to love all of it – or none. But opera is a huge genre. Just because you like one genre of rock music doesn’t mean you like everything in it – opera is the same. In fact it’s probably the widest ranging musical genre of them all because it spans so many centuries.”
Myth: Opera is SO complicated.
Gemma: “That one makes me laugh! The basics of opera are love, revenge and greed. But that’s what every art form is about! If you went to see Wicked, you could say that, by its nature, a story about witches and wizards is complicated. But its main themes are love and acceptance. It’s the same in opera.”
Myth: Opera is for the upper-class.
Gemma: “I don’t know where that idea came from, because 200/300 years ago everybody loved the opera. You mightn’t have had great seats, or you were standing, but opera was for everyone! And as INO are keen to demonstrate, it still is. They’re offering so many different types of opera experiences throughout the year.”
Myth: But there’s no new ideas in opera...
Gemma: “One of the great things about the INO approach is that they are innovating all the
time. This year, they have their Virtual Reality opera, Out Of The Ordinary/As an nGnách. You pop on a VR headset and become part of an opera! You don’t have to go to a theatre, you don’t have to dress up, you can literally just enjoy it by yourself”
Myth: Opera is inaccessible
Gemma: “This is so untrue. There are full operas with English subtitles for free on YouTube. There are tonnes of Spotify playlists, so you can familiarise yourself with the musical landscape. Also, I hate the stereotype that you must dress up to watch opera! Banishing that idea might make it feel slightly more accessible. I would guess that nearly 100% of singers don’t care what people are wearing in the audience, as long as you’re enjoying the show. That’s what it’s really all about.”
