This guide will help you to avoid some common mistakes that occur in setting up the Auto Level feature of your HoverflyPRO.
If you are having problems with Auto Level, follow the full guide to ensure that this feature is set up properly.
1. Flash the latest firmware version using the Firmware Update Client.
2. Download and install the latest version of the Setup Client
If your HoverflyPRO arrived with a factory calibration (indicated by a Temperature & Accelerometer Calibration sticker on the back of the board), open the Hoverfly Setup Client and check that temperature compensation and accelerometer calibration are completed using the Pro Info tab. Then skip ahead to step 10.
If your HoverflyPRO did not arrive with a factory calibration, or if you have been advised to re-do your calibrations by our staff, please continue with step 3.
3. Disable Accelerometer Calibration.
4. Disable Temperature Compensation
5. Switch to the General tab
6. Check that the Artificial Horizon is reasonable
Connect to the Setup Client's General tab and check that the artificial horizon is close to level when the HoverflyPRO is level. The artificial horizon will most likely not be perfectly level at this step when the HoverflyPRO is level, but it should be close to level.
7. Calibrate the Accelerometer
When calibrating make sure the top of the HoverflyPRO faces away from your computer screen, toward you. The HoverflyPRO should be between you and the computer screen. If the top of the HoverflyPRO faces the computer screen you will mirror the instructions presented in the Accelerometer Calibration wizard. This will result in an incorrect calibration.
It is important that the board be as level as possible with respect to each position. If possible, use a bubble level to ensure a level surface for performing this calibration.
Only proceed once the Accelerometer Calibration has been completed!
8. Check that Accelerometer Calibration was completed in the Pro Info tab
If the Accelerometer Calibration box is not checked, you did not complete the Accelerometer Calibration.
9. Run the Temperature compensation
In order to complete the Temperature Compensation process, you will need a low heat source such as a heat gun, hair dryer, or incandescent light. Point the heat source at the HoverflyPRO from a safe distance (about 3 feet) and continue to do so until the progress bar is entirely green.
10. Check the Artificial Horizon.
It should be level when the HoverflyPRO is level. If not, return to Step 3 and repeat the calibration process.
11. Make a flight with autoleveling enabled.
If needed, adjust your elevator and aileron trims. After adjusting your trims, leave them set. It is not necessary nor should you re-center your trims. At this point, Auto Level should keep your multirotor very close to perfectly level with the sticks centered.
After setting your trims, land your multirotor with Auto Level mode still enabled and cycle the power to the HoverflyPRO once. This will allow normal mode to adjust for the new trim settings.

Ola Electric Mobility, the electric vehicle arm of ANI Technologies that operates ride hailing platform Ola Cabs, has appointed former General Motors executive Jose Pinheiro as the head of global manufacturing and operations.
Pinheiro, who was the vice president of manufacturing for General Motors Latin America and was based out of São Paulo, will lead and expand Ola Electric’s manufacturing facilities across India, a statement said.
“His (Pinheiro’s) deep domain expertise will help us deliver the game changing Ola electric scooter at scale and catalyse the Indian EV ecosystem,” Bhavish Aggarwal, chairman and group CEO of the Bengaluru-based company, said.
In a career spanning 45 years at GM, Pinheiro has held diverse portfolios, including body shop process engineering, manufacturing engineering, plant operations and director of manufacturing. He also managed 16 GM industrial complexes across nine countries.
Ola, which acquired Amsterdam-based electric scooter manufacturer Etergo in May, is gearing up to launch its first electric two wheeler in India. Set up in 2014, Etergo sells AppScooter, an EV that uses swappable batteries to deliver a range of up to 240 km. With its handlebar controls, users can control their phone through bluetooth, answer calls, stream music and navigate.
Ola is also reportedly in discussions with multiple state governments to set up “the world’s largest e-scooter facility”.
Pinheiro will head Ola’s initiative to set up manufacturing facilities, such as the e-scooter factory, and scale them across the country, the statement said. The move, it said, will help the firm bring to market its range of two wheelers that are currently under development.
“I look forward to collaborating with this incredible team and building a world class manufacturing facility to deliver Ola’s range of electric two wheelers, including the upcoming electric scooter. The rapid pace of progress at Ola is impressive and energising and I am looking forward to contributing to Ola’s mission of sustainable mobility,” Pinheiro said.
Ather Energy, the largest funded electric two wheeler manufacturer in India, raised $35 million in a growth round earlier this month, led by Flipkart co-founder Sachin Bansal. In September, TVS Motor Company invested $4 million in Bengaluru-based electric bike maker Ultraviolette Automotive.
In the past one year, Mumbai-based engineering company Greaves Cotton has acquired two electric vehicles firms -- Bestway Agencies and Ampere Vehicles.
Last week, TechCircle exclusively reported that Easetronics, which operates multi-brand, omnichannel sales and lease rental platform for electric two-wheelers Welectric, raised an undisclosed amount of angel funding.

ESPN Says It Backs Reporting As It Pulls Out Of NFL Series
ESPN President John Skipper released a statement Friday defending the network's journalistic integrity after it pulled out of an investigation of the NFL.
ESPN had been a partner with PBS's Frontline on a forthcoming series about concussions in the National Football League. A trailer for the two-part investigation says Frontline "investigates what the NFL knew and when they knew it" regarding the lasting effects of head injuries.
But Thursday, word broke that ESPN asked for its branding and credits to be removed on all "League of Denial" content.
PBS released a statement saying it regretted ESPN's decision "to end a collaboration that has spanned the last 15 months."
Friday, Skipper pledged to "continue to report this story and continue to support the work of Mark Fainaru-Wada and Steve Fainaru," two ESPN reporters who are writing a book on brain injuries and collaborated with the Frontline team.
"Is ESPN trying to have its cake and eat it too here? Let's just say it'll be interesting to see whether it promotes its reporters' book and reports on the Frontline documentary or if it backs away," sportswriter Stefan Fatsis tells NPR's Audie Cornish on All Things Considered.
Fatsis knows the two sports reporters professionally and says the fact that they work for ESPN "is a credit to the company's journalistic ambitions." Mark Fainaru-Wada has covered steroid use extensively and his brother, Steve Fainaru, won a Pulitzer Prize in 2008 for international reporting.
"But ESPN has this other side — its relationship with the leagues," Fatsis says, "and it looks as if that's what finally tripped up the project."
He says ESPN pays the NFL more than $1 billion annually to broadcast Monday Night Football. The New York Times reports that the NFL pressured the network to back out of its partnership with Frontline, citing "two people with direct knowledge of the situation." The Times adds:
"ESPN's role came under intense pressure by the league, the two people said, after a trailer for the documentary was released Aug. 6, the day that the project was discussed at a Television Critics Association event in Beverly Hills, Calif."
Citing its unnamed sources, the Times reports that league officials "conveyed their displeasure with the direction of the documentary" in a lunch meeting last week with Skipper and ESPN's vice president for production, John Wildhack.
NFL spokesman Greg Aiello told the Times Friday that the lunch was arranged weeks ago and that "at no time did we formally or informally ask them to divorce themselves from the project."
ESPN said it withdrew from the project because of lack of editorial control, but Frontline deputy executive producer Raney Aronson-Rath told The New York Times the "ground rules of the collaboration" had been solidified for "more than a year."
Derek Thompson, senior editor for The Atlantic, told WBUR's Here and Now on Friday that ESPN's withdrawal may have some unintended consequences.
"Ironically, by creating a tremendous controversy over this Frontline documentary on head injuries, this documentary's gonna be seen by ... vastly more people than it would have otherwise," he said. "So the NFL and ESPN to a certain extent have ironically given this doc the best possible publicity it could receive."

Editor’s note: Russia’s Sputnik News has nearly the same article, but points out correctly that Jaresko oversaw the collapse of Ukraine’s GDP. Needless to say, I find this decision to appoint her to be highly questionable.
A federal control board overseeing Puerto Rico’s finances amid a dire economic crisis announced Thursday that it appointed Ukraine’s former finance minister as its executive director.
The board’s chairman said Natalie Jaresko served during a critical time in Ukraine’s history from 2014 to 2016 as it faced a deep recession.
“Ukraine’s situation three years ago, like Puerto Rico’s today, was near catastrophic, but she worked with stakeholders to bring needed reforms that restored confidence, economic vitality and reinvestment in the country and its citizens. That’s exactly what Puerto Rico needs today,” said chairman Jose Carrion.
Jaresko will be paid $625,000 a year, an amount Carrion acknowledged would likely cause an outcry on an island mired in a decade-long economic slump and seeking to restructure some $70 billion in public debt. He said Jaresko will commute from Ukraine once a month until June, with all flights and hotel stays to be paid for by Puerto Rico’s government.


To investigate the impact has on overall performance we have used a slightly modified version of our standard IOMeter test. Precisely we have run 8 test runs per device (1,4,16,64,128,256 queue depth) each test having 8 parts, each part lasting 60 min w/ an additional 20 second ramp up. The 6 subparts were set to run 100% random, 75% read 25% write; testing 512b, 4k,8k,16k,32k,64k size chunks of data. When each test is finished IOMeter spits out a report, in that reports each of the 6 subtests are given a score in I/Os per second. The results for the first two test runs/hours are discarded and only the last 6 run reports are averaged.
The two different result for each device in the chart are the results of the above test run with and without additional cooling. For “no cooling” the M.2 device in it’s out of the box configuration is installed in open test bed with no cooling and underneath a large (and hot running) video card. For “active cooling” results the same device has been installed in a PCIe adapter card w/ heatsink and active cooling via a 120mm fan pushing air over both sides of the M.2 card. These results represent the best- and worst-case scenario for any M.2 solid state drive. They are not indicative of average or typical real-world performance. Simply the best and worst a drive has to offer.

Governor aspirants begin picks for running-mates
Candidates for governorship seats have started unveiling their running mates for the August 9 elections.
Their choices seem to have been driven by negotiated power deals involving clans as well as accommodation of minorities especially in the cosmopolitan counties.
In Mombasa, ODM’s Suleiman Shabhal unveiled former cabinet minister Karisa Maitha’s sister, Selina Maitha Lewa as his running mate.
Shahbal said the former government administrator was fit for the post.
Shahbal insisted he was focused more on Lewa’s abilities as an individual rather than her family name or gender.
“When seeking a deputy governor, you must keep it in the back of your mind that whoever you select could be the next governor in case of your death or anything. Select someone who is professional, competent and understands the agenda for Mombasa,” he said.
Shabhal’s move is seen as yet another tactic in the scramble for the vote-rich Mijikenda community distributed across all the six sub-counties of Mombasa.
Mombasa has a total of 580,223 registered voters as per 2017 official Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) register where about 50 per cent of these voters are said to be from the Mijikenda community.
It is against the above backdrop observers argue that the Mijikenda factor will remain crucial in the Mombasa gubernatorial contest.
“Mijikenda are like the owners of Coast with Kwale in the South having two sub clans of Mijikenda that is Duruma and Digo and Kilifi in the north having the rest of the seven Mijikenda sub clans. Interestingly therefore you will find a lot of influence from the community either working or residing in Mombasa City. Any person who wants to become the next Mombasa governor will have to appeal to the Mijikenda vote,” Pwani University Professor Halimu Shauri said.
In the past successive Mombasa governorship contests, various aspirants including Governor Joho, Shahbal, former Senator Hassan Omar, former Nyali MP Hezron Awiti have picked Mijikenda running mates to bolster their chances of winning the seat.
In Machakos, former State House Chief-of-Staff Nzioka Waita settled on Machakos County Assembly Speaker Florence Mwangangi as running mate.
Mwangangi, the mother of Health Chief Administrative Secretary (CAS) Mercy Mwangangi was among those contesting for the seat. The lawyer was a member of the first Judicial Service Commission under the 2010 Constitution representing women. She had previously toyed with the idea of running before the compromise last week to back Nzioka.
Waita will be vying on the Chama Cha Uzalendo party ticket, an affiliate of the Azimio la Umoja Movement.
Besides Waita, others in the contest to succeed outgoing Alfred Mutua include Mavoko MP Patrick Makau, ex-CAS Wavinya Ndeti, Deputy Governor Francis Maliti, and former Senator Johnson Muthama the United Democratic Alliance (UDA) national chairman.
Kisii county governorship aspirant Manson Oyongo, unveiled both his preferred deputy and his choice for woman representative.
Oyongo who is the Kenya National Congress ( KNC) party leader settled on Dr Alfred Ndemo from Bogetutu clan and Julie Nyanchama ( Bonchari), saying he will work with a Senator from another party.
Speaking during a delegates meeting attended by aspirants for parliamentary seats and MCAs he said he has given other parties a chance to elect a Senator who can oversight him.
“ I urge my agents to campaign for me at the grassroots so that I can win the seat and bring forward looking change. I implore voters to use their votes to bring a change through me,” Oyongo stated.
Oyongo said if elected governor, he will form cooperative societies for youths and women to access interest free loans to invest to boost their lives, adding that the members will guarantee each other in the revolving fund.
Oyongo will compete against Dagoretti North MP Simba Arati who has picked former Nyaribari Chache MP Robert Monda for running mate as well as UDA’s Ezekiel Machogu who will run alongside lawyer Ogamba Migosi from the Kitutu clan.
The other candidate for the seat, Chris Obure, who hails from Bobasi constituency has picked civil servant William Mbaka from the Kitutu clan and Charles Onyancha (Bonchari) as running mate and Senator respectively.
In Nairobi County, Bishop Margaret Wanjiru who is vying using the United Democratic Alliance ticket (UDA) has settled on Patrick Musili the Hospital Hill Ward Rep.
Wanjiru said she picked on Musili to ensure that she has garnered votes from Kamba community.
“I have settled Musili since he is the best person to deliver me Kamba votes. With Kambas on board I believe I will be able to fill my basket and emerge victorious in the August polls,” said Wanjiru.
The clan factor could also be a key factor in the choice for running mate in the cosmopolitan Kajiado county.
Governor Joseph Ole Lenku who is facing stiff competition has decided to retain his Deputy Moshisho Martine to balance the clan matrix.
The two major Maasai clans in Kajiado are Orok Kiteng’ (black cow) and Odomong’i (red cow).
“ As a leader from the Maasai community it was clear to me that I must balance. Every clan must feel they are represented, that’s why I retained my DG since we come from different clans”, he said.
While Lenku hails from Orok Kiteng his deputy comes from the Odomong’i clan.
Kajiado South MP Katoo ole Metito and his Kajiado East counterpart Peris Tobiko, as well as former governor David Nkedianye have thrown themselves in the ring to square it out with him.
Others said to be eyeing the seat include former National Transport Safety Authority (NTSA) boss Francis Meja and former Olkejuado county council chairman Taraiya ole Kores.
For counties like Kirinyaga, the Governor Ann Waiguru will choose a new person since the current Deputy Peter Ndambiri has announced intentions to succeed her.

A little further to the south at the tip of the Durgerdammer dike, there was a secondary light for a short while (Blauwe Hoofd 1949-). Only the square 3,5m brick statue of that light is left.
Around 1900 some nautical maps show two more lights in the neighbourhood. One is on the breakwater dam right in front of the lighthouse. This one still exists. The other is on top of fort-island Pampus.

India: All-India Motor Transport Congress set to strike & blockade in solidarity if protesting farmers’ demands not met
“Farmers’ protest: Transporters calls for nation-wide strike in support, threaten to halt supply of essential goods”, 02 December 2020
An apex body of transporters on Wednesday threatened to halt the movement of essential goods across North India and subsequently the entire country if the demands of the farmers protesting against three farm laws passed in September to liberalise the sector are not met.
“From December 8 onwards, we will shut all our operations across North India and stop all our vehicles across North Indian states and UTs [Union Territories] including Delhi, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, Punjab, Himachal, and Jammu [& Kashmir]. We have decided that if the government still does not agree to the demands of the protesting farmers, then we will call for a Chakka Jam all across India and stop all our vehicles,” said AIMTC president Kultaran Singh Atwal.
In a statement, the AIMTC said the transporters are extending unstinted support to the farmer agitation. “They are fighting for their legitimate rights … the farm sector is indeed the backbone and lifeline of the nation…Over 70 percent of the rural households depend on agriculture. Entire North India is affected and thousands of trucks carrying food, vegetables, and other perishable and non-perishable items coming from Punjab, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, J&K [Jammu & Kashmir] are impacted and we still support them as 65% of the trucks are engaged in carrying farm produce,” the statement said.

Call of Duty: Vanguard updates are expected by players of the ego shooter with tension. With dozens of weapons, hundreds of attachments, several cards and all the mechanical subtleties there between there is much to balance to keep the game competitive. As with any game, there are many mistakes to resolve and make updates to the quality of life.
Therefore, players are always interested in learning what has changed in the latest vanguard update, so they can adapt their strategies — and their best Vanguard weapons — accordingly. Fortunately, the Vanguard Psychotics will all enlighten us to enlighten the improvements, Nerfs, corrections and supplements behind the scenes.
In this manual, we carry out an archive of all vanguard patch notes or announcements of Sledgehammer Games, including those for the latest vanguard update, so that you can see what has changed over time.
We still need to make an idea of the Update Cadenza for Vanguard, as it is still at the beginning. However, we expect that there will soon be a semi-level routine for updates, similar to Call of Duty: War zone.
Vanguard update patches
We still have the first big, official Call of Duty: Vanguard Update, but it will be very soon, says Sam Lactate, communication strategist of Sledgehammer Games.
Since so much feedback was sent to the developers in the opening week of Vanguard, one can assume that it is a pretty chunky update. There are dozens of remarkable bugs, glitches and exploits that need to be patched, and it s probably that some strong weapons or essays are nerfed — please do not hurt our MP40 Vanguard class...
As soon as the latest Vanguard update and its full patch notes have been published, we will definitely update this manual.

DescriptionThis is the obvious crack line that splits the face of the Bastion. Jams/locks and side-pulls, with good feet all along. The position is absolutely fantastic, and the climbing great. If you own a canoe and live in Washington state, this line should be near the top of your list!
The biggest challenge of climbing this route is canoe logistics. You can anchor the canoe to the rock with gear in the lower cracks. Rather than rappel the route (which would require pulling the rope, and having it land in the water), lower one climber to the canoe and have the other walk off the top to meet the canoeist on the lowlands north of the Bastion.
The route unfortunately faces a straight where speedboats really seem to enjoy gunning it, so waves can be a nuisance on a busy boating day.

Chris Bradshaw/Special to the Daily News Rush, the progressive rock band known for such hits as "Tom Sawyer" and "The Spirit of Radio," performs at 1-800-ASK-GARY Amphitheatre on Saturday, November 3. The Tampa concert was the only Florida stop on the first leg of the group's "Clockwork Angels" tour in support of its 19th full-length studio album of the same name released this past June. Bassist-keyboardist-singer Geddy Lee, guitarist Alex Lifeson and drummer Neil Peart have been the line-up of Rush since 1974, though the band formed in 1968. Peart, also the band's primary lyricist, was the last to join. Rush is a nominee for the 2013 Class of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. The band will tour the U.S. through December and have European tour dates set for the Spring of 2013.


The first part of the workshop was taken up with drop spindling. Angela (Angela Daish, our tutor) handed round a bag of carded fibre for each of us, and a rather scary-looking rolag/batt (to my eyes, anyway). I had brought my larger Kundert top whorl spindle and some merino - but this was not what Angela wanted us to work with!
We started off with learning to thigh-roll our spindles, something I haven't mastered because I tend to use bottom whorl spindles and turks, and it works better with top whorl spindles. Soon I was spinning away with my usual pin-thin merino...but that was all to end - as Angela wanted us to try spinning thick!
I spent quite a bit of time on this, just going with the flow of the texture with the support spindle. Although not the yarn I would usually make, it was fun for a change!
During the rest of the afternoon, Angela demonstrated using a hackle and diz (I got hackle envy) and a Majacraft circular loom. I was quite amazed at how versatile a circular loom can be! If you're interested in finding out more, have a look at the Circle Weaving group on Facebook! I would never have thought of making gores for a skirt on a circular loom, for instance!

Here is another article about urban sprawl. It describes a recent study done that indicates that urban sprawl costs US society some $1trillion annually, mainly in unproductive driving time and externalities like pollution.
The author of the study makes the modest recommendation that we in the US should aim for metro area residents to live at a density of 10 people or 5 households per acre. This seemed remarkably low to me, but I was surprised that this was the top fifth of urban density in the US, meaning that the vast majority of metro area residents live below this density. But then I started doing the math for Chicago, where a block typically has 15 or so lots on each side of the street. There are 8 Chicago blocks in a mile, so that makes 120 lots in that mile. So how many lots are in a square mile? Not 120 x 120, because lots are a lot longer than they are wide. So a typical Chicago layout will have a block with 15 lots, but the perendicular block consists in the sequence from street to alley to street to alley to street, ie each "block" is really just half a block long, so each "real" block of 1/8 of a mile is four lots long. That means that a typical square mile in Chicago has about 120 x 32 lots, so 3840 lots. A square mile has 640 acres, so this amounts to only 6 lots per acre. Anyway, many (most?) neighborhoods in Chicago aren't just single-family homes, they're two or three flats. So we're talking maybe 12 households per acre. But it's still a lot less than I'd initially though. Consider that many areas of Chicago have industrial or commercial space without residents, and that even more areas are bombed-out blocks with only 3 or 4 intact houses per block, and Chicago's density goes down further. In fact, if you take Chicago's 2010 population density of about 12000/square mile, and divide it by 640 acres, you get about 18 people per square mile, so only 9 households or so.
Anyway, the author says that, even if we simply attained this modest density of an inner-ring suburb, where many houses would still have yards to play in, we could substantially reduce the footprint of our cities, as well as all those lost costs that he describes. The article includes a really cool chart showing population densities of major cities across the world. Expectedly, the US is the least efficient user of space in its cities, followed by Africa and South America, Europe, then Asia, where they really know how to pack people in. By my own rough calculation, Bogota clocks in around 65,000 people per square
mile if you divide the actual urban area by the population (leaving out
rural areas and uninhabited forests that are included in the official
capital district), giving you about 100 people per acre, or 50
households an acre. That's similar to Manhattan, and much denser than
New York City as a whole. Bogota certainly feels dense and bustling,
but not suffocatingly so, at least not for me. The small city where our
house is in Colombia has about 36,000 people per square mile, so about
56 people or 28 households per acre.
I was curious about how my family's living situation compares to different population densities in world cities. Our house in Colombia is big and sprawling compared to others, but
even it gives 18 households an acre, and in our four-person household's
case 75 people an acre. If we divide this in half to account for streets and parks and such, we're talking about 40 people an acre, so similar to Mexico City or Rio de Janeiro. Of course right now it's unoccupied, so it's just a big empty space driving down the density of living, breathing people in the town.
In this case of population density, our lifestyle in Washington is greener than in Colombia. Our apartment in Arlington,
Virginia holds five of us right now in 1100 ft2, or about 105 m2. We're more crowded than we'd prefer to be, but by no means uncomfortable, and I think that between families and college students, most of the apartments in our building have a similar occupancy. That
would amount to about 216 people per acre, before even multiplying by
the ten floors in our building. So we're talking a density of about
2,160 people per acre of ground. Even if you subtract out the parking
lots, streets, parks and nonresidential buildings in our area, we'd still be talking a
pretty high population density, like in the leagues of Mumbai on that
article's chart, if the whole area was like our building. I feel good about that--I like when people use space
efficiently. That said, much of the rest of our neighborhood is big single-family houses with driveways separating them, so you've got this weird juxtaposition of ultra-dense housing and then a very inefficient use of space. I guess that's why the houses there cost twice what they'd be worth in Chicago--they're sitting on land that's begging to have like ten times the density!

NEW DELHI: The decision to consign Telangana to the deep freezer was spelt out by Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee in a meeting with 21 Congress MPs representing regions in Andhra Pradesh opposed to bifurcation.
"Any forward movement on the issue is contingent upon a pro-Telangana resolution to be adopted by Andhra Pradesh assembly by consensus. Since there is no consensus among political parties, as brought out by a spate of resignations and backtracking by parties like TDP which had come around to support the separate state, there is going to be no resolution immediately. Therefore , boundaries of Andhra Pradesh will not be redrawn and there will be status quo," a Congress MP quoted Pranab Mukherjee as saying.
"It is so simple. Why are you people resigning," asked Mukherjee as he sought to impress upon the MPs opposed to Telangana that Chidambaram's announcement on Wednesday was not radically different from what Congress said in its manifesto for the 2009 polls.
According to sources, Home Minister P Chidambram, who was present, also laid stress on "process" and "resolution" parts of his statement, suggesting that he made no promise of early or imminent action. According to protesting Congress MPs from coastal and Rayalaseema regions of AP, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, who had strongly pitched for an early decision at the meeting of Congress core group on Wednesday evening, also tried to calm MPs by stressing the importance of consensus. Singh had met coastal Andhra and Rayalaseema MPs separately.
Mukherjee also explained that their hands were forced by the deteriorating health of fasting TRS chief K Chandrashekhar Rao and the assessment that he might have died. "You may not agree with the assessment. You may feel that his condition was not that serious. But we felt that Rao was going to die and we feared that it would have led to a calamity," the finance minister said.
He read out the minutes of the allparty meeting in Hyderabad which gave a goahead for separate state, but said that since some of the parties had gone back on their commitment , the issue was back to square one.
The interaction with the finance minister followed a meeting of protesting MPs with party chief Sonia Gandhi on Thursday night and a session Sonia had with hers political secretary Ahmed Patel and AICC incharge Veerappa Moily.
The flurry of meetings were a desperate bid by Congress MPs to preempt the damage the bifurcation would cause to the interests of their constituents. The MPs informed the party brass about the "grim situation" prevailing in their constituencies.
However, the pressure tactics are not new to the state which has witnessed bloodshed and agitations over the issue, and it continues give hope to TRS and statehood champions even now.
Sources said Congress leadership had factored in the possible "reactions" of elected representatives from non-Telangana regions, given the history of the issue.
In fact, indications are that it has not given up the idea of separate Telangana. Telangana observers said Congress had in the past approached the demand by considering reactions of opponents and probing the rationale of separate state with activists.

High street store Boots has announced that it is to cut 900 jobs at its head office under cost-cutting plans.
The job losses will hit the support and "central functions" at the site in Nottingham was well as some regional support roles. The company said it also planned to create an extra 290 jobs over the next year at its stores.
Richard Baker, chief executive, said the management had a remit to make the business modern and more efficient and competitive. Boots said it operated in an extremely competitive environment where pace of decision making and speed of implementation was integral to success.
"The proposed changes would reduce complexity and costs of head office functions, which improves our ability to compete," said Mr Baker.
Boots said in a statement to the Stock Market that as part of its agenda to modernise the business, it was accelerating the re-organisation of the head office.
This would cut layers of management and deliver a "simpler and more responsive" business.
The company said it was strengthening its store organisation in the key areas of pharmacy, sales and operations.
The move is part of a programme by Boots called Getting Into Shape, which aims to make £100 million-worth of savings by the 2005/6 financial year.

Blue Bloods star Sami Gayle had a close call with New Jersey police last year (13) after accidentally leaving a packet of fake drugs in her coat pocket after a day of filming the crime drama. The teen actress reveals she had worn her own jacket to shoot scenes for the hit TV series, in which she plays Nicky Reagan-Boyle, the niece of Donnie Wahlberg's detective character, Danny Reagan, but she forgot to take out the prop powder when she finished work - and it fell out at the most inopportune time.
She explains, "I was shooting an episode a few months before Thanksgiving... we were driving through New Jersey to visit my grandmother and we were in a car accident, somebody rear-ended us, and when the police came, they saw me and they were like, 'Oh, we love your show, can we get a picture?'. I got out of the car and took pictures and the policemen had a squad car and I was like, 'You know, it's so funny, I'm in a police show but I've never been in a squad car and taken pictures, so can I do that?' And they said, 'Absolutely.'
"I had been wearing my coat on set that day, we had been filming with the fake heroin packets, so I went to pull my phone out of my coat and out falls the fake bogeyman packets! But I had the name of the script on my phone and we sort of made nice on the situation by showing them that, but it was definitely very frightening!"

Hollywood has had lots to say about the American school system as of late and whether you choose to believe the information presented to you via eye-opening documentaries like Waiting For Superman or fictional phenomenon’s like Fox’s Glee it’s clear that our educational institutions are out-of whack at best broken at worst. No one has been able to depict this disheartening downward spiral quite like director Tony Kaye with his new film Detachment. In it the reclusive auteur focuses on just a few weeks in the life of Henry Barthes a substitute teacher who gets more than he bargained for when he takes a job at a fledgling high school and in the process gives parents professors and kids a much-needed wake-up call.
In this short period of time Kaye dissects the contemporary classroom with unflinching realism. The grainy worn film stock he uses for his verite’ photography coupled with topical subject matter ranging from child prostitution and teen suicide to parental negligence makes the movie appear to be more a documentary than a narrative feature but that’s where Carl Lund’s poetic screenplay comes in. His prose is simultaneously beautiful and brutal effortlessly supplying existential excerpts for star Adrien Brody darkly comic bits for fellow teacher James Caan and up-to-the-minute slanguage for the teenage students. He also uses this star-studded stage (the ensemble includes Marcia Gay Harden Tim Blake Nelson and Christina Hendricks among many others) to touch upon the larger sociopolitical issues effecting our schools and children lashing out at numerous initiatives/establishments like “No Child Left Behind” that we’re led to believe have been implemented to increase residential property values instead of grades. Though the script begins to sound like a sermon at times it’s not intrusive enough to become distasteful. Quite simply it’s brazenly truthful.
However excessive exposition can often hurt a film’s momentum and Kaye gets unnecessarily sidetracked with the painful back-stories of his characters. Brody’s Barthes is our central protagonist so the sub-plot involving his aging ailing grandfather is essential in defining him but the filmmaker forces insight into the lives of almost every teacher (and a few of the students) down our throats. Individually each vignette is heartrending but distracting; the majority of them have little connection to the main narrative. Collectively they illustrate many of the problems that contemporary families face and more importantly create an emotional crescendo leading into the inevitably tragic conclusion.
The brilliance of this casual buildup to the film’s climax is a nod to Kaye’s storytelling aptitude. I found him utilizing the kind of in-your-face filmmaking tactics that Spike Lee made commonplace in his early movies most noticeably with close-ups on a few actors who irritably address the camera head-on (like in Do The Right Thing). In addition he intensifies the action with quick cuts and aggressive push-ins that elaborate on each character’s crisis. Perfection clearly isn't his strong point; Kaye frames his shots sloppily at times and doesn't attempt anything groundbreaking but maximizes the potential of tried-and-true lo-fi techniques. His stylistic abilities are second only to Brody’s performance which is subtle sad and sweet all at once. We take an emotional and psychological plunge with the native New Yorker as he navigates a teenage wasteland of sex drugs violence and depression but it’s all just another day at school to America’s urban youth.
Long absent since his freshman feature American History X Detachment is a welcome return for Tony Kaye whose commitment to the integrity of this story is marked by unrelenting bleakness in its tone and uncensored cynicism regarding the state of our schools. He doesn’t portray every educator as a saint or every student as a sinner; through Brody he imparts on us the uneasy truth about the direct correlation between our failure as parents and the failure our children: we're one and the same. The true genius in his film is not represented in the text of his commentary but in his ability to forge an explanatory mosaic from his characters’ varying but related points of view. Because of this there are multiple mini-narratives that run through Detachment and all of them are worthy of your attention.

Earlier I discussed a multi-million dollar foreclosure in Miami-Dade County. Word hit yesterday that an under-developed community in Davie, Florida is being foreclosed on. The community was small, with eight units. Of those eight units, only two solds (way back in 2006).
There are two mortgage holders with more than $10 million in total mortgages. Interestingly, the second mortgage holder filed, which means this one may not wrap up quickly.

Oil Prices Rise as U.S. Tightens Sanctions on Russian Crude Exports
Supply Concerns Grow as U.S. Implements Sanctions
Oil prices saw an increase on Friday following the U.S.’s decision to tighten its sanctions program against Russian crude exports. This move has raised concerns about the already tight supply in the market. Additionally, global inventories are predicted to decline throughout the fourth quarter, further impacting the supply chain.
Price Gains and Weekly Projections
At 0052 GMT, futures rose 36 cents, or 0.4%, to reach $86.36 per barrel. Meanwhile, U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude experienced a gain of 53 cents, or 0.6%, reaching $83.44 a barrel. Brent is projected to have a weekly gain of 2.1%, while WTI is anticipated to climb 0.8% for the week.
Potential Disruptions and Market Volatility
Both Brent and WTI contracts experienced a surge earlier in the week due to the potential for disruptions to Middle Eastern exports. A recent attack by Hamas on Israel raised concerns about a possible wider conflict. However, prices later experienced a slight decline.
U.S. Sanctions and Impact on Russian Oil
The United States imposed its first sanctions on owners of tankers carrying Russian oil priced above the G7’s price cap of $60 a barrel. These measures were implemented to close loopholes and punish Moscow for its invasion of Ukraine. Russia, being the second-largest oil producer and exporter globally, may face a reduction in supply due to tighter U.S. scrutiny.
OPEC’s Demand Forecast and Market Focus
The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) kept its forecast for growth in global oil demand unchanged. This decision was based on signs of a resilient world economy throughout the year and expected further demand gains in China, the largest oil importer worldwide.
Market Analyst’s Perspective
“Supply-side issues remain the focus in the market,” said Daniel Hynes, senior commodity strategist at ANZ. He also mentioned that the stronger enforcement of U.S. sanctions contributed to the rise in prices. Furthermore, Hynes emphasized that sentiment was boosted by OPEC’s prediction of a significant decrease in crude stockpiles this quarter, assuming no further supply disruptions from the Israel-Hamas conflict.

The Tallassee wrestling team traveled to Fort Walton Beach, Florida, to compete in the Beast of the Beach tournament with teams from across the southeast. Tallassee got eight duals matches, winning three in a field of tough competition.
Tallassee opened the weekend against Brusly (Louisiana) and jumped out to an early lead thanks to pins from Zack Haynes and Christian McCary at 132 and 138 pounds, respectively. However, Brusley won six of the final eight bouts to defeat the Tigers, 48-36.
The opponents did not get any easier as Tallassee fell 54-28 to Ada (Oklahoma) and 60-9 to Pigeon Forge (Tennessee) in the next two matches. Haynes earned another pin along with Land Bell (106 pounds) and Preston Tidwell (152) but it was not enough as the competition was too much for the Tigers.
Tallassee claimed one win in the Friday morning competition to finish in fifth place. The Tigers wrapped up the day with a 49-30 victory over Niceville (Florida) as Jake Debadelaben (170) and Zeryis Carr (195) recorded pins while Haynes and McCary each earned wins by decision.
Tallassee continued its weekend in the Best of the Rest bracket where the Tigers rebounded with two victories to finish third. They knocked off defending tournament champion Wakulla (Florida), 65-12, as Haynes, Bell and Debardelaben each earned another win.
After falling to Gulf Breeze (Florida) in the semifinal match, Tallassee faced off with Niceville again and the Tigers once again came out on top with a 42-39 win. Carr earned another first-period pin while McCary capped off his day with a pin, just 36 seconds from the final buzzer to help earn a big six points for the Tigers.
ECHS goes unbeaten at PCA Duals
The Elmore County wrestling team made quick work of the competition at the annual Prattville Christian Duals as the Panthers won all three matches Saturday. Elmore County knocked off Shelby County, 47-30; Saint James, 40-31; and host PCA, 54-30, behind several standout individual performances.
Cory Bullard led the way, recording three pins at 113 pounds. He came up big for the Panthers in the second match against Saint James as he recorded a pin late in the second period to secure six big points. The victory clinched the match.
Ramon Lozada recorded a pin and a technical fall at 106 pounds to improve his record to 13-0. Coby Mann had his best day of the season with two pins at 285 to improve to 9-4.
Matt Brown (285) and Solon Lee (170) also completed the day undefeated, each finishing with two pins. Brown leads the Panthers with 17 victories this season.

Storaro's love of film can be traced to his father, who was a projectionist at Lux Films. Storaro still retains vivid childhood memories of being by his father's side watching dailies day after day.
My first film was done in black-and-white, because, in 1968, it was the will of many directors, producers, whatever, to do dramatic films in black-and-white, because they were scared to film in color in a dramatic area. At the time, people thought ...

President Donald Trump responded Saturday morning after the hostage situation at a California military veterans home ended in tragedy.
On Friday evening, law enforcement stormed the room where the gunman had been holding three people hostage for hours, only to find that the gunman and his hostages were all dead.
The three victims were identified as 48-year-old Christine Loeber, 42-year-old Dr. Jennifer Golick and 29-year-old Dr. Jennifer Gonzales — all of whom worked at the facility, according to CNN.
On Twitter, Trump expressed his sadness at the loss of the “three incredible women” who served America’s veterans.
“We are deeply saddened by the tragic situation in Yountville and mourn the loss of three incredible women who cared for our Veterans,” the president wrote.
We are deeply saddened by the tragic situation in Yountville and mourn the loss of three incredible women who cared for our Veterans.
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) March 10, 2018
The incident occurred at the Veterans Home of California in Yountville. As The Western Journal reported, it is considered to be the largest veterans home in the country, with 1,000 veterans from many different wars living there.
“This is a tragic piece of news, one that we were really hoping we wouldn’t have to come before the public to give,” Chris Childs, assistant chief of the California Highway Patrol Golden Gate Division, said at a news conference.
The suspected gunman, 36-year-old Albert Wong, was a former client of the Pathway Home, a program that treats veterans of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars who have post-traumatic stress disorder, NBC News reported.
He was a decorated Army veteran who had served in Afghanistan, according to The Associated Press.
But days before the shooting, Wong had been asked to leave the program, state Sen. Bill Dodd told the San Francisco Chronicle.
It was not immediately clear whether the victims were chosen at random, but all of them had worked at the Pathway Home, with Loeber serving as executive director, Golick as a staff psychologist and Gonzales as a psychologist with the San Francisco Department of Veterans Affairs Health Care System.
“These Brave Women were accomplished professionals who dedicated their careers to serving our nation’s veterans, working closely with those in the greatest need of attention after deployments in Iraq and Afghanistan,” the Pathway Home said in a statement.
“All of us at The Pathway Home are devastated by today’s events. We stand with the families, friends, and colleagues who share in this terrible loss,” the statement continued.
The hostage situation started on Friday morning when the suspected gunman barged into a going-away party that was being held for some Pathway Home employees.
“They were having cake and toasting, apparently he just walked in with this rifle,” said Larry Kamer, whose wife works at the facility. She and others were able to escape.
The gunman took hostages, thus beginning an hours-long standoff with authorities. At one point, gunfire was exchanged between him and police.
It was not known when the hostages, who appeared to have been shot to death, actually died.

"Nvidia's nForce chipset will extend its reach beyond the currently supported platforms of AMD's Athlon 64 FX, Athlon 64, and Sempron processors. The cross license agreement with Intel allows Nvidia to also offer its chipset for Intel's FSBs, which will significantly increase the revenue potential for nForce."
Originally Nvidia's nForce chipset was intended to be a strategic agreement with AMD, with the Intel architecture not something being considered. But all that is about to change soon, because Nvidia and Intel have signed a patent cross-license agreement covering "multiple product lines and product generations". They have also licensed Intel's front-side bus technology, which means that Nvidia will be almost certainly releasing nForce chipset for Intel platforms. The move offers much for Intel, since it will not likely cut into the company's profits in any real way, and will enable the firm to gain more credibility in performance-oriented applications such as gaming.

When Swedish rockers ALFAHANNE burst onto the scene in 2010 it was with minds determined to bring back the danger to rock 'n' roll. With the considerable experience they had gained over a couple of decades with bands like VINTERLAND and early MAZE OF TORMENT and playing what they themselves call “Alfapocalyptic Rock”, a mix of Black Metal, Classic Rock, Punk, Goth and, of course, good old rock 'n' roll, ALFAHANNE have created their own unique, high-octane, style of music. A style that has earned them plaudits from critics and built them a considerable, and ever-increasing, fan base.
ALFAHANNE's stage debut came at 2014's Inferno Metal Festival where their show garnered them high praise. Since then they have been much in demand for club and festival appearances throughout Europe. Lighting up the stage with their limitless energy, exuberance, and easy going, friendly interaction with the fans (both on and off the stage) ALFAHANNE is a guaranteed crowd pleaser.
Let's face it, when a band can attract guest appearances both in the studio and on the stage from such iconic figures as Hoest (TAAKE), Niklas Kvarforth (SHINING), Dolk (KAMPFAR), Erlend Hjelvik (KVELERTAK), V'gandr (HELHEIM), Spellgoth (HORNA, TURMION KÄTILÖT), Nattfursth (SORHIN), David Lindh (YVONNE and BRODER DANIEL) and Sanrabb (GEHENNA), you know there is something very special about ALFAHANNE.

"Transformers has given me a space to be myself and work out how I identify with my gender. When I first started coming I felt uncomfortable with my presentation, but now I feel more confident and have made some friends too!"
Transformers is a monthly group meeting which offers a safe space for young people aged 16-25 who are trans, non-binary or exploring their gender identity. Young people are able to meet in a comfortable & confidential setting, access one to one support with youth support workers, access information and participate in workshops and activities.
As with all of our groups, staff and volunteers are LGBT+ and are trained to work with young people, however we always aim to have trans workers facilitating the Transformers group and there are always two Allsorts staff members with help and support from 2 volunteers.
We share announcements each week where we inform you about events, campaigns and opportunities from within Allsorts Youth Project and from the wider community too so you have the chance to hear what’s happening and what you can get involved in should you so wish.
Providing our young people with delicious, nutritious food is important to us. We always have snacks and hot & cold drinks and we provide a buffet style arrangement of bagels, fillings, salad and fruit. Everything is vegetarian and we always have vegan options.
"I heard about Allsorts from a friend and started going to Transformers. It’s been really special to have a trans only space and get support from workers that are trans too. It’s helped me see that being trans doesn’t need to hold me back."
We hold various workshops which are generally related to significant annual events on the LGBT+ calendar, for example LGBT+ History month, Mental Health Awareness Week and Trans Day of Remembrance. At times we work with other projects in the city to deliver workshops.
We have a range of creative activities to get involved with at Transformers which include:
As part of our activities schedule we also regularly consult with our young people in order to produce campaigns and resources made for and by the young trans community. In the past these have included:
We have regular visits from:

The Ministry of Health is preparing for reform of the mental-health system whereby it will transfer responsibility for providing mental-health services to the health plans. Additional changes in the way mental-health services are organized and financed are also being planned. These changes are expected to influence both the patient experience of mental-health care and patient readiness to seek such care.
In light of the expected changes, in 2007 the Myers-JDC-Brookdale Institute added a special section on mental health to its periodic survey of the level of health-care service from the perspective of the general population. This enabled the study team to learn about the care experiences of a representative sample of Israeli adults who indicated past experience of mental distress with which they had found it difficult to cope on their own. The sample comprised 1,800 adults who were interviewed by phone between August and October.
The objectives of the report were:
To characterize the populations that report high rates of mental distress and to identify at-risk groups requiring special attention
To examine the factors that influence recourse to mental-health care and to identify groups that refrain from such recourse even when in need
To describe the patterns of service utilization and satisfaction with care prior to reform and the transfer of responsibility to the health plans
On the whole, the findings highlight the central place of primary care in patients’ efforts to seek help with mental distress. Moreover, primary care today already provides a response to a large portion of these needs.
The importance of the study findings detailed in this report is that they can serve as a basis for the ongoing efforts to improve mental-health services and for comparison with the situation after reform.
The findings were presented to the Minister of Health and senior officials at the Ministry of Health, to the Health Council, the health plans and the National Council for Primary Medicine.
The in-depth analysis of mental distress presented in this report was supported by Michael and Andrea Dubroff of Massachusetts USA. It is based on a periodic health-care survey that is funded with the assistance of the Government of Israel, the Clalit Health Services, Maccabi Healthcare Services, Leumit Health Fund and Meuhedet Health Plan.

Capitol Police and the Topeka Police department have evacuated three buildings after a bomb threat.
Capitol Police Officer Patrick Saleh told WIBW NewsNow the Shawnee County Courthouse, the Intensive Supervision Unit of the Department of Corrections, and the State Parole Office in the 1400 block of Topeka Boulevard have been evacuated.
“Apparently,” said Saleh, “Someone called in a bomb threat to all three buildings through the Topeka Police Department.”
According to a press release sent out by the Topeka Police Department, a caller reported to 911 dispatchers that a person he knew had a package delivered to, “The place where people report to their ISP officer.”
Officers were sent to 712 South Kansas, 1430 South Topeka and the Shawnee County Court House in response to the 911 call.
Saleh said while nine times out of ten of these types of threats turn out to be false, they have to take the necessary precautions.
In addition to evacuating the buildings, the Kansas Highway Patrol has dispatched bomb sniffing dogs to investigate.
Each location was searched and no items of concern were located.


Security agencies in India may be able to lawfully intercept and store all communication in India in nearly half of the service areas covered by phone and internet operators by the year end, according to a news report.
The program, called central monitoring system (CMS), is like the United States’ Prism program which lets agencies tap into phone networks and internet connections and analyze and store away all the information.
The Firstpost reported an official source as saying
The government has decided to set up a CMS for lawful interception monitoring which will facilitate the direct electronic provisioning of target number…without any manual intervention from telecom service providers. It may take some more time, say December 2013, to commission CMS in 10 service areas
According to current regulations, security agencies are required to approach telecom operators for intercepting communications of their targets, any other methods used to to intercept communication by other parties is considered unlawful. The Department of Telecom has recently proposed to raise the penalty for unlawful interception from Rs 1 crore at present to Rs 2 crore under the Right to Privacy Bill in the works.
However, if the CMS is implemented, government agencies will be able to monitor target numbers without involving telecom service providers. Once this indigenous system is installed, government agencies can track all communication traffic – wireless and fixed line, satellite, internet, e-mails and voice over internet protocol ( VoIP) calls without involving third parties like service providers.
The system was slated to be in place by March 2013, but the deadline has now been extended to December. The reason cited for this was the delay in setting up of remote monitoring centres.
After repeated intelligence failures, the government seems to be on a security overdrive all of a sudden. the Home Ministry is on a hiring spree of high calibre professionals for the CMS project and has sought to ban application like WeChat.
The Centralised Monitoring System (CMS) project being being implemented by the Indian government has been critiqued in India and abroad. Recently international organisations like Human Rights Watch (HRW) and UN had raised serious doubts about the human rights violations the CMS may cause.
“The Government of India is proposing to install a Centralized Monitoring System that will route all communications to the central Government, allowing security agencies to bypass interaction with the service provider.Such arrangements take communications surveillance out of the realm of judicial authorization and allow unregulated, secret surveillance, eliminating any transparency or accountability on the part of the State.” The UN Human Rights Council report said.

Libya’s defense minister has been relieved from his post following deadly clashes in the capital Tripoli, Prime Minister Ali Zeidan said in a televised news conference on Thursday.
“He previously submitted his resignation but we asked him to stay,” Zeidan said, referring to when Defense Minister Mohammed al-Bargathi submitted his resignation last month.
“But after what happened yesterday, it has been decided that he will be relieved from his position. We will name a new minister as soon as possible.”
Tension was palpable in the Libyan capital on Thursday, a day after deadly fighting broke out between groups of ex-rebels, highlighting the country’s continuing insecurity nearly two years after dictator Muammar Gaddafi fell.
Five people were killed and nearly 100 were wounded in clashes between rival armed militias in Tripoli on Wednesday, Health Minister Nurideen Doghman said.
“In total 97 people were wounded and five were killed in yesterday’s clashes,” Doghman said on state television.
Loud explosions and gunfire rocked Tripoli late into the night – the second day of violence in the city, highlighting the rivalries between heavily armed groups that have plagued the country since the 2011 uprising against Gaddafi.
Much of Libya’s recent unrest has centered on the eastern city of Benghazi, the cradle of the uprising, where attacks blamed on Islamists have targeted both the authorities and Western interests.
But it now seems to be spreading to Tripoli, where brigades of ex-rebels remain entrenched despite government efforts to disarm them and impose its authority.
Since the fall of Gaddafi’s regime, militia groups, mostly ex-rebels, have managed border controls, prisons, strategic facilities in the country and vital institutions.
Coming from different parts of the country, representing different tribes and with varying ideologies, they have received salaries and perks from the authorities, and some have even benefited from smuggling and extortion.
Deadly events on Tuesday and Wednesday epitomized the sense of lawlessness that surrounds them.
A group of armed men from the city of Zintan who had been guarding oil facilities in the southern desert, attacked the Tripoli headquarters of the petroleum industry security force on Tuesday.
They had been replaced by another group and wanted their jobs back.
Another “brigade” of ex-rebels, loosely attached to interior ministry’s high security commission, intervened in the fighting. Five people were killed and five of the Zintanis seized.
On Wednesday, armed Zintanis attacked the Tripoli headquarters of the brigade, located in the capital’s Abu Slim district. They ransacked it and freed their comrades.
Five people were also killed in that fighting and another 97 wounded, the health ministry said.
The interim head of Libya’s army, General Salem al-Konidi, said “we tried to intervene, but our resources did not allow it”.
“The government refuses to equip the army,” Konidi told Libya al-Ahrar television.
On Thursday, military police remained deployed at key points along the airport road near Abu Slim, having arrived during the previous days clashes.
While there were no outright threats, there was a sense among people in the city that there could be more inter-militia clashes.
Konidi also disowned the Zintanis, who are officially attached to the defense ministry, saying “forces that don’t follow our orders don’t belong to us”.
The government limited itself to issuing a statement overnight in which it regretted the “deplorable acts” and affirmed its intention to enforce its decision to remove “illegal militias” from the capital.
That decision had been taken by the General National Congress (GNC), the country’s highest legislative and political authority, after deadly fighting in Benghazi three weeks ago.
And the government said on Thursday that, during the course of the day, Prime Minister Ali Zeidan would speak about the latest clashes.
But while violence hit Tripoli, there were deadly attacks elsewhere in the country.
Overnight, three car bombs exploded in Sebha, 700 kilometers south of the capital. Two people died and 17 were wounded in the blasts, which came at roughly half-hour intervals, officials said.
And in Benghazi on Wednesday, an army officer died after a bomb placed in his official vehicle exploded.
The death of Lieutenant Colonel Jemaa al-Misrati came a day after gunmen killed six soldiers at a checkpoint south of Sirte, the late Gaddafi’s hometown.

ST. PAUL, Minn. — Minnesota enacted the nation’s first law Wednesday requiring smartphones and tablets sold in the state to have remote shut-off feature as a way to deter theft.
The “kill switch” bill was signed by Gov. Mark Dayton after lawmakers passed it last week. The measure takes full effect in July 2015, but advocates are hoping the wireless industry will make technology updates sooner.
Democratic Rep. Joe Atkins describes the law as “a vaccine” for the epidemic of smartphone theft and robberies tied to mobile devices. People who report a kill switch-equipped phone lost or stolen can disable it and wipe the data slate clean by contacting their carrier.
“Thus taking away the worth,” explained Atkins, DFL-Inver Grove Heights. “When you take away the worth, you take away the incentive. These thieves that are stealing these things no longer have the incentive to steal ’em.”

Squirrel causes power outage
IRON MOUNTAIN – More than 2,300 We Energies customers in Quinnesec, Niagara, Wis., and Aurora, Wis. were without power for nearly two hours on Friday afternoon.
Brian Manthey of We Energies said that outage occurred at about 3 p.m. when a squirrel got into a one-transformer substation in Niagara.
The squirrel came into contact with some fuses, which caused an electrical short in the equipment.
All power was restored as of 4:53 p.m., said Manthey.
Besides residential customers, the outage affected the traffic lights at the U.S. 2/U.S. 141 junction and the U.S. 2/Lake Antoine Road intersection, both located in Quinnesec.
Law enforcement officers were on scene to direct traffic.
