domain: food


Tue Mar 4, 2014 7:59 pm Free agent James Jones said, "In a perfect world I would love to go back (to Green Bay)," but admits there is a chance he will not get that opportunity.
Fantasy Source Spin: It is more than a chance. The Packers have shown no desire to re-sign Jones, and he is very likely to hit the free agent market. Unfortunately for Jones, that market is likely to be fairly cold due to his age -- 30 this month -- and a loaded draft and free-agent pool. Jones is our No. 7 free agent wide receiver.
Mon Mar 3, 2014 4:23 pm The Packers didn't use the franchise tag on CB Sam Shields or DT B.J. Raji before Monday afternoon's deadline.
Fantasy Source Spin: The Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel reports the Packers have made little progress in long-term talks with either player. The Pack have been talking with Shields' agent since January, but the sides are reportedly more than $1 million apart annually. Shields is fully expected to reach the open market.
Sun Mar 2, 2014 5:40 pm According to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, the Packers are "trying to give" free agent CB Sam Shields a deal worth less than $6 million annually.
Fantasy Source Spin: Shields is believed to be seeking $7 million annually, so there's a fairly significant gap to be bridged. A deal signed by Bears CB Tim Jennings in January was worth $5.6 million per year, and Rapoport says that's where GM Ted Thompson values Shields. Shields' agent has made it clear through media reports that his client does not intend to re-sign with Green Bay before March 11.
Sun Mar 2, 2014 2:19 pm A league source confirmed to Profootballtalk.com that free agent CB Sam Shields will not sign with the Packers before the market opens on March 11.
Fantasy Source Spin: ESPN's Adam Schefter had a similar report on Saturday, so it appears Shields' agent is spreading the news, perhaps as a negotiating ploy. The Packers won't overpay Shields with Tramon Williams, Casey Hayward, Davon House, and Micah Hyde all capable of playing prominent roles at corner. There have been whispers that Shields is seeking in the range of $25-28 million over four years.
Sat Mar 1, 2014 11:52 am ESPN's Adam Schefter is reporting the Packers and free agent CB Sam Shields will not reach an agreement before free agency begins.
Fantasy Source Spin: This comes as a surprise as all indications had been Shields and the Pack would work something out before free agency began. Shields could still return to Green Bay, but it looks like he will test the market first. He should not be at a lack for suitors, with CBS's Jason La Canfora already suggesting the Browns would be interested. Shields, 26, is Rotoworld's No. 6 free agent corner and could command $7 million annually.
Fri Feb 28, 2014 8:55 pm The Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel doesn't consider free agent CB Sam Shields a candidate for the franchise tag.
Fantasy Source Spin: The Packers are currently in talks on a long-term deal for Shields and are expected to sign him before the start of free agency. Per reporter Tom Silverstein, he could command $7 million annually. Shields, 26, is Rotoworld's No. 6 corner available this offseason. He would cost $11.83 million if tagged.
Fri Feb 28, 2014 2:51 pm The Packers do not plan to tender restricted free agent LB Jamari Lattimore.
Fantasy Source Spin: It's a bit surprising because Lattimore has been an effective special teamer and super-sub on defense, but the Packers believe he's worth closer to the NFL minimum ($645,000) than the lowest RFA tender price ($1.389 million). The Packers haven't ruled out re-signing Lattimore, but he's headed to the market.
Thu Feb 27, 2014 1:29 pm Free agent DE Johnny Jolly underwent single fusion neck surgery on January 10, but is expected to be ready for the regular season.
Fantasy Source Spin: The operation repaired a bulging disc in Jolly's neck between the C-5 and C-6 vertebrae. It's the same procedure Packers S Sean Richardson underwent last year. Richardson ended up making his 2013 debut in Week 12, and appeared in six games. Jolly went on injured reserve in mid-December, but it was unknown at the time if he would require surgery. Returning from a four-year absence, Jolly played 294 snaps over 13 games. He turned 31 earlier this month. The surgery combined with his sparse recent playing time complicates his market.
Wed Feb 26, 2014 10:23 am Coach Mike McCarthy said he'd like to see DB Micah Hyde as a three-down player.
Fantasy Source Spin: As a rookie last season, Hyde was a third corner that played on 39.4 percent of the snaps. This year, it's possible he'll compete to be a safety in base packages and then slide down to the slot in sub packages a la Charles Woodson in 2012. Hyde could be battling a rookie -- the Packers have been linked to first-round safety prospects Ha Ha Clinton-Dix and Calvin Pryor.
Tue Feb 25, 2014 6:40 pm CBS' Jason La Canfora reports there's a "healthy market forming" for free agent Jermichael Finley.
Fantasy Source Spin: This is obviously an agent-driven report, so take it with a grain of salt. The good news is, Packers coach Mike McCarthy said last Friday that he was "very open and optimistic" about Finley's recovery. Finley's agent said earlier this month that he could be cleared within the next two months. Barring a setback, we're likely to see Finley back on an NFL field in 2014.
Tue Feb 25, 2014 11:09 am Coach Mike McCarthy thinks second-year DL Josh Boyd is capable of taking a "huge step" in 2014.
Fantasy Source Spin: "I think Josh definitely has the flexibility," McCarthy said. "He's shown he can play the nose. He needs to take a huge step, and I think he'll be one of those players that does in his second year." Boyd, the 167th pick last April, played just 114 defensive snaps as a rookie. But with free agents B.J. Raji and Ryan Pickett expected to move on, Boyd and Datone Jones will take on increased roles.
Mon Feb 24, 2014 2:21 pm ESPN Green Bay reports contract talks between the Packers and free agent CB Sam Shields "heated up" over the weekend.
Fantasy Source Spin: Per reporter Rob Demovsky, the talks are ongoing, and the sides are expected to be in "regular communication over the next several weeks." There's obvious motivation on both sides to get a deal done before free agency opens on March 11. Shields' agent Drew Rosenhaus has a reputation for playing ball with teams. Shields should sign a multi-year offer in the near future.
Mon Feb 24, 2014 1:00 pm Coach Mike McCarthy said he's "as high on [Jarrett] Boykin as anybody in our building."
Fantasy Source Spin: This should put the nail in free agent James Jones' Packers coffin. The head coach is a good guy to have in your corner, and Boykin appears to have made quite an impression. "He had a heck of a year, and I still think he has another jump in him. ... I've always liked Jarrett. I've always felt he had it," said McCarthy, who added that he sees Boykin evolving into an eventual No. 2 receiver. For this season, Boykin will be No. 3 behind Jordy Nelson and Randall Cobb. It's still nearly an every-down role in the Packers' scheme, giving Boykin a high 2014 floor.
Sun Feb 23, 2014 9:07 am The Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel reports the Packers plan to let James Jones walk in free agency.
Fantasy Source Spin: "I don't think [GM] Ted Thompson wants him," Jones' agent said. The Packers are set at receiver with Jordy Nelson, Randall Cobb and Jarrett Boykin. They also need to get Nelson and Cobb extended within the next calendar year or so. Jones could face a semi-cold market due to age (30 in March) and a loaded draft and free-agent pool at the receiver position.
Sat Feb 22, 2014 1:52 pm Green Bay and Jordy Nelson have had conversations about a contract extension, but there is no timetable to get a deal done.
Fantasy Source Spin: Nelson is entering the final year of a $13.9 million, four-year extension he signed in the middle of the 2011 season. That deal proved to be a massive bargain for the Packers. Nelson has posted two 1,200-yard seasons and scored 30 touchdowns over the last three seasons. Nelson is one of the top wide receivers in the game, and he should command near $10 million annually.
Sat Feb 22, 2014 1:38 pm The Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel reports the Cardinals are interested in free agent OLB/DE Mike Neal.
Fantasy Source Spin: Neal's versatility makes him one of this year's more intriguing free agents. He can play virtually every position in the front seven, and is coming off a career-best year in Green Bay. What Neal isn't, however, is an explosive edge pass rusher. The Cards need to start thinking about life after John Abraham.
Fri Feb 21, 2014 2:58 pm Packers coach Mike McCarthy is "very open and optimistic" about free agent Jermichael Finley's return from his neck injury.
Fantasy Source Spin: Finley is recovering from the same spinal-fusion surgery that former Packers S Nick Collins underwent, but is apparently making far better progress. "(The Packers team doctor) doesn't feel the same way about Jermichael as he felt about Nick," McCarthy said. "So I'm very open and optimistic about Jermichael coming back. I think the specifics of their injuries are different." Finley isn't considered likely to re-sign with the Packers, but is Rotoworld's No. 3 free agent tight end.
Fri Feb 21, 2014 11:40 am Packers K Mason Crosby converted a career-high 89.2 percent of his field goals in the 2013 regular season.
Fantasy Source Spin: Crosby knocked home 33-of-37 attempts. That's a significant improvement from his dismal 2012 campaign where he went 21-of-33. Still, Crosby's conversion rate ranked him as just the No. 13 most-accurate kicker last season. Matt Prater led all kickers in accuracy, converting 96.2 percent of his attempts.
Fri Feb 21, 2014 11:05 am The Packers aren't expected to re-sign free agent NT Ryan Pickett.
Fantasy Source Spin: Pickett is 34 and doesn't profile as the type of player the Packers typically invest money in. Green Bay wants to clear some room on the defensive line in order to get younger, faster, more athletic players like Datone Jones more snaps. Pickett is merely a run plugger and will likely have to settle for a one-year deal.
Fri Feb 21, 2014 10:52 am Coach Mike McCarthy expects second-year DE Datone Jones to make a "huge jump" in 2014.
Fantasy Source Spin: Jones played just 276 defensive snaps as a rookie after being the 26th pick in last year's draft. The Packers are expected to let both Ryan Pickett and B.J. Raji walk in free agency, opening up plenty of playing time for Jones. Green Bay wants to get younger and faster on defense. Jones was a year-one disappointment but is a candidate to make a huge sophomore leap.
Fri Feb 21, 2014 10:46 am Coach Mike McCarthy said he wants Eddie Lacy to be a three-down back.
Fantasy Source Spin: Lacy was already an every-down back as the Offensive Rookie of the Year in 2013, but this confirms that the Packers aren't really interested in scaling back his workload. Despite being a pounding hammer back, Lacy has soft hands and can catch the ball out of the backfield. Lacy should be locked in as a first-round pick in 2014 fantasy drafts. Getting Aaron Rodgers back will only help.
Fri Feb 21, 2014 10:35 am Packers OT Bryan Bulaga's (knee) rehab remains on schedule.
Fantasy Source Spin: Speaking at the Combine Friday, coach Mike McCarthy said Bulaga is currently in Florida rehabbing. He tore his ACL last August and should be ready for camp. McCarthy also said no decision has been made on whether Bulaga will play left or right tackle. We expect him to play the right side with David Bakhtiari sticking on Aaron Rodgers' blind side. Bulaga has one year left on his rookie deal.
Wed Feb 19, 2014 1:44 pm ESPN Packers reporter Rob Demovsky thinks the team may look to upgrade on ILB Brad Jones.
Fantasy Source Spin: GM Ted Thompson handed Jones a three-year, $11.75 million deal last March. Jones started all 12 games he appeared in, notching 84 tackles and three sacks. However, he received poor marks from Pro Football Focus both against the run and in coverage. The Packers could save $1.925 million against the cap by releasing Jones, though there's been no talk of that to this point.
Mon Aug 19, 2013 8:38 amDuJuan Harris likely takes a backseat to both Lacy and Franklin, but fantasy owners shouldn't be shocked if Harris is the Week 1 starter. He scored TDs in four of Green Bay's last six games (including playoffs) last season. He also stayed active in the receiving game.
Fantasy Source Spin: Harris is worth a late-round flier, especially if Franklin isn't ready for primetime.
Mon Aug 19, 2013 8:38 amThe Packers doubled down on running backs by taking Johnathan Franklin in the fourth round. Franklin posted monster numbers in his senior year at UCLA (1,734 yards, 13 TDs), and he'll compete with Lacy and DuJuan Harris for carries.
Fantasy Source Spin: Franklin, however, might not get enough touches on a week-to-week basis to be an every-week play. He's one to watch in training camp.
Mon Aug 19, 2013 8:36 amJermichael Finley wasn't as bad as owners think in 2012. After Green Bay's bye week, Finley had 37 catches on 49 targets in nine games (including the playoffs). But he averaged 49 receiving yards per game with just one TD. Given the flashes of talent Finley shows, that was still disappointing.
Fantasy Source Spin: With the loss of Jennings, however, Finley figures to see more targets. Owners who find the courage to go back to this "sleeper well" one more time might get their wish. He's a post-hype sleeper.
Mon Aug 19, 2013 8:35 amEddie Lacy slipped to the second round of the NFL draft because of injury concerns, but he steps into the ideal situation. Lacy averaged 6.8 yards per carry at Alabama. He's a 231-pound bruiser who could be used in the same fashion Cedric Benson was before a Lisfranc injury last season. Benson averaged close to 15 carries per game in five starts.
Fantasy Source Spin: If Lacy wins the starting job, he'll do the same. He's RB2/flex material with upside.
Mon Aug 19, 2013 8:34 amClay Matthews had 13 sacks in 12 games; he missed four games because of a hamstring injury. Matthews is one of seven players with at least 40 sacks the past four seasons, and he's the only one of those guys who hasn't played in at least 60 games.
Fantasy Source Spin: Matthews still has a 20-sack ceiling if he stays healthy, but that's the concern here.
Fri Dec 27, 2013 5:00 pmListed as probable for Week 17, Eddie Lacy acknowledged Friday that his ankle sprain "still hurts," and feels "about the same as it has."
Fantasy Source Spin: Lacy has aggravated the ankle injury in each of Green Bay's last two games, but stayed highly productive in the process. He's going to start against the Bears. "I'll try to get as close to 100 (percent) as possible," said Lacy, who is getting constant treatment and was held out of most of the practice week. Lacy is a boom-or-bust RB1 for Week 17 fantasy purposes.
Thu Dec 26, 2013 2:49 pmPackers coach Mike McCarthy expects Eddie Lacy (ankle) to start Sunday's game against the Bears even though he's yet to practice this week.
Fantasy Source Spin: McCarthy said Lacy is in a "good place," and wouldn't have to practice Friday to play Sunday. Essentially, barring a setback, Lacy will be ready to go for the NFC North championship game. With Aaron Rodgers (collarbone) returning, Lacy's upside will be through the roof against the Bears' league-worst run defense. Even at less than 100 percent, Lacy will be worth the price in daily leagues.
Thu Dec 26, 2013 1:08 pmEddie Lacy (ankle) remained out of Packers practice Thursday.
Fantasy Source Spin: It's not a terribly discouraging sign as Lacy wasn't considered likely to practice before Friday, but it does mean his status remains up in the air. With so much on the line, we ultimately expect Lacy to suit up against the Bears, but it's possible he simply won't be healthy enough. Lacy's status will be updated on Friday.
Wed Dec 25, 2013 4:41 pmEddie Lacy (ankle) did not practice Wednesday.
Fantasy Source Spin: As expected. Lacy is going to take it easy in the early part of the week but hopes to be out there for the winner-take-all game against the Bears for the division title Sunday. We'd tentatively expect him to play in the crucial tilt.

According to the Ethiopian Monitor, cryptocurrency service providers in the country have been compelled to register with the government’s cybersecurity body, the Information Network Security Administration (INSA).
The National Security Agency (NSA), which is in charge of Ethiopia’s cybersecurity, has begun to register cryptocurrency service providers and transfer providers in the country. Following a declaration from the National Bank of Ethiopia (NBE) that people are widely using crypto transactions in the country, where the usage of digital currencies is currently prohibited, cryptocurrency service providers have been asked to register. Earlier this year, lawmakers changed a law to reestablish the INSA, including provisions to allow the legal usage of digital currencies. The modified law, according to the report, grants the cybersecurity agency authority over cryptographic products and related transactions. The INSA is also in charge of designing operating procedures and cryptographic infrastructure. The NBE cautioned residents against using cryptocurrency to make payments while also encouraging them to report such activities.
Despite the NBE’s anti-crypto stance, the INSA has recommended crypto service providers operating in the country to comply with its registration obligation, saying:
There is interest among individuals and entities in providing crypto services including mining and transfer. [Therefore] to properly regulate this field, INSA has begun to register individuals and entities that are involved in crypto operations (services) including transfer and or mining.
Crypto service providers have been given a ten-day grace period to finish the registration process. The INSA has also stated that businesses who refuse to comply with its directive will face “legal consequences.”


Your home’s plumbing system is used so many times a day, so it is not rare to encounter problems with it from time to time. A very common plumbing issue is a clog, which does not only make it hard to drain and flush water, but can also cause significant damage, in the event that it causes a backup.
There are several ways to correct such issues, one of which is through a rooter service. Salt Lake City has many service providers to help you.
What is a rooter?
It is a type of drain cleaning equipment originally designed to free drains and sewer pipes from clogs caused by tree and plant roots, hence, “rooter.”
Sam Blanc with Milton, his son, invented the first rooter. Its creation came about when they encountered a clogged drain in their Iowa apartment, an incident that made them so upset they just had to clear the blockage by themselves.
Their invention was the basis of another common piece of plumbing equipment, which is now called the plumber’s snake. This drain-clearing device provided a way for such a huge advancement in the plumbing industry, that the word “rooter” stuck. Prior to its invention, consumers had to dig many holes in their yard just to figure out the root cause of their malfunctioning pipes and drainages.
Is a rooter still useful?
Although tree and plant roots wrapping themselves around plumbing components and causing damage to homes are no longer as big a nuisance as they were in the past, they are still a common and huge concern. This is especially true for Salt Lake City homes built several decades ago.
Fortunately, thanks to the improvements done on these machines, they now take less time to completely unclog drains that have accumulated so much debris they are no longer functioning properly. So yes, rooters are still must-have devices for plumbers, as they make the process of clearing drains and sewers faster and easier.


In his Saturday morning tweet storm from Mar-a-Lago, President Donald Trump accused his predecessor, President Barack Obama, of a “Nixon/Watergate”-variety action by means of wiretapping Trump Tower in October, before the election. Trump used to be apparently referencing a claim from conservative radio host Mark Levin, who advised that Obama will have to be the target of a congressional investigation for “police state” systems.
“terrible! Just discovered that Obama had my “wires tapped” in Trump Tower simply before the victory. Nothing discovered. This is McCarthyism!” Trump tweeted. He then brought, “Is it authorized for a sitting President to be “wiretapping” a race for president previous to an election? Turned down by using court earlier. A new LOW!”
“I’d bet an excellent attorney would make a first-rate case out of the truth that President Obama was once tapping my telephones in October, simply prior to Election,” Trump persisted. “How low has President Obama long past to tap [SIC] my phones throughout the very sacred election system. This is Nixon/Watergate. Dangerous (or in poor sick) man!”
Levin’s comments on his radio show on March 2 had been picked up by Breitbart on March 3. The host outlined a ten-point case for a congressional investigation into Obama. One of Levin’s points was an October 2016 international Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) request from the Obama administration, which was once fascinated by a Trump Tower computer server that used to be believed to have links to Russian banks, The countrywide review later stated in January 2017.
As RealClearPolitics also notes, Levin accused Obama of conducting a “silent coup,” including, “they don’t seem to be going to stop.”
There was once additionally a report within The new york times on March 1 that Obama administration officials rushed to be certain the proof of ties between Russia and the Trump crusade weren’t swept under the rug and remained in the professional document.
Back on January 19, The New York Times reported that law enforcement and intelligence groups did intercept “communications and financial transactions” in the course of their investigation into talents ties between Trump and Russian officers. The FBI is leading the investigation, with the support of the NSA, the CIA and the financial crimes unit within the Treasury division.
The occasions did document that some wiretapped communication did come from the White house, however, the instances didn’t say if this wiretapping was ordered by way of Obama himself. It additionally wasn’t clear if the wiretapped communications had anything to do with Trump himself or his campaign. Moreover, the occasions document doesn’t specify if these communications were bought by means of wiretaps of Trump Tower.
In between Trump’s accusations about wiretapping, Trump again commented on the hindrance with attorney basic Jeff periods‘ selection to recuse himself from investigations in terms of the Trump campaign. Trump tweeted that sessions’ first assembly with Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak in 2016 was “set up through the Obama Administration below schooling program for one hundred [ambassadors].” Trump then wrote, “just out: The identical Russian Ambassador that met Jeff sessions visited the Obama White residence 22 , times and four times final year alone.”
nevertheless, the Washington publishes’s document on periods’ conferences with Kislyak states that the two first met in 2016 in July for the duration of the Republican country-wide conference. It was the 2nd meeting between the 2 in September 2016 that took place in periods’ Washington, D.C. Place of business.
Earlier than he left Washington on Friday afternoon, Trump tweeted to each residence Minority leader Nancy Pelosi and Senate Minority leader Chuck Schumer to remind them that, they too, had met with Russian officials at one point in their lives. For Schumer, Trump tweeted a 2003 picture of Schumer and Vladimir Putin eating doughnuts when the Russian president visited New York city after the picture resurfaced on conservative websites the day before.


Water Management and Climate Adaption
The tap water in Aarhus is almost 100-year-old pure groundwater, which has not undergone any chemical purification or addition as that is not necessary. Much is done to protect the high quality of the tap water and prevent contamination e.g. by prohibiting the use of pesticides in areas with vulnerable groundwater and raising new forest over ground water reservoirs. Our unmanned waterworks and water mains are controlled and monitored by state-of-the-art technology – often developed by local companies.
All wastewater passes through a high-purity treatment process with state-of-the-art technological solutions and is afterwards discharged to e.g. rivers and the sea. The entire city is covered by a sewer system, which is currently being converted into separate sewerage to avoid future flooding and reduce the amount of water being led to the wastewater treatment plants. Wastewater treatment in Aarhus is characterized by an innovative approach. For example, the slurry is converted to biogas and used for energy production and the excess heat is send into the district heating network. Furthermore, phosphorus is extracted from the wastewater and used as fertilizer.
The City of Aarhus has taken several initiatives regarding climate adaption. One of the main focus areas in the municipal climate adaption plan has been to create time and space for the water.
Another focus area has been to create synergy and added value when creating solutions for climate adaption. This is done by for example draining the rainwater locally, which puts less stress on the municipal sewer systems and at the same time improves traffic and recreational solutions.
Selection of sites and cases
Marselisborg Wastewater Treatment Plant
Marselisborg WWTP produces 34 percent more electricity than it needs and 1,5 GW of heat (data from 2019).
A project on rainwater management in Risvangen, Aarhus Municipality prepares the area for future cloudbursts while simultaneously decreasing CO2-emissions and water pollution.
The Aarhus area is vulnerable to flooding, that is why a sluice was installed in the city centre.

Parliament to investigate Boris Johnson for contempt in party scandal | International
is the headline of the news that the author of WTM News has collected this article. Stay tuned to WTM News to stay up to date with the latest news on this topic. We ask you to follow us on social networks.
There was no need to vote. When asking the British deputies the vice president of the House of Commons if anyone opposed the amendment, not a fly has been heard. And by assent, the British Parliament has taken the historic decision to investigate a prime minister, Boris Johnson, for possible contempt. To find out if he was telling the truth during each of the appearances in which he tried to explain the matter of the prohibited parties in Downing Street during the confinement.
It was impossible to discuss a matter of such gravity without being able to say the key word: liar. Thats why he speaker (Speaker) of the House of Commons, Lindsay Hole, has allowed the deputies, exceptionally and contrary to parliamentary decorum, to define Boris Johnson with that adjective. Pejorative, yes, but also descriptive of what was being discussed at Westminster. It was about deciding whether the prime minister had lied to Parliament by repeatedly denying that parties were held in Downing Street during confinement, and that the law was never broken in government offices. That is, if Johnson had been in contempt and should be punished for it. The fine imposed by the Metropolitan Police two weeks ago is barely 60 euros. But its symbolic value is immensely superior to the monetary value. Never in the history of the United Kingdom had a prime minister broken the law during his term. Johnson’s half-excuses before Parliament last Tuesday convinced few, because he limited himself to apologizing for his “mistakes”, but continued to ensure that he was never aware that the parties in Downing Street were against the rules that his Government had imposed on the citizens.
“Our amendment has a clear objective: to defend the simple principles of honesty, integrity and the need to tell the truth in politics,” explained the Labor leader, Keir Starmer, at the beginning of the debate on the text presented by his party. It was an amendment to order the House of Commons Privileges Committee (similar to Spain’s MP Statute Committee) to open an investigation into whether Johnson had breached the Ministerial Code and deliberately misled Parliament.
A Strategy That Didn’t Work
In a mixture of defiance of the opposition and an attempt to appear normal, Johnson had started an official visit to India this Thursday and has been absent from Parliament. He was leaving with a certain calm, because late on Wednesday the leadership of the conservative parliamentary group had calmed down the most rebellious deputies. He offered them an amendment to the Labor amendment, by which the Government pledged to support a further investigation of Parliament’s Johnson, but only after Scotland Yard had completed its own and the report on the senior official’s parties was finally published. , Sue Gray.
The strategy, however, did not work. In the first place, because Labor themselves had included in their text the precaution of making the parliamentary investigation subject to the completion of the police work; secondly, because the pressure of many voters made it untenable for the Conservative deputies to put themselves in profile; and thirdly, because the speech that Johnson himself offered to the parliamentary group on Tuesday night had more content of arrogance than humility.
Join EL PAÍS to follow all the news and read without limits.
“I have been tempted to forgive him. But that possibility has disappeared, ”said Steve Baker, the Eurosceptic Conservative MP who was key to Johnson being elected Prime Minister, from his seat. His coup made clear the difficulty facing the prime minister. “For not obeying either the letter or the spirit of the rules, the prime minister should have left a long time ago. He knows the game is up,” Baker said.
The insistence – pressure, rather – of the leadership of the parliamentary group on the conservative deputies has irritated many of them. Above all, because at first they were told that iron parliamentary discipline would be required to vote against the Labor amendment. What in House jargon is known as three-line whip (triple whip; whip is what the deputies in charge of pushing the vote of the rest are called). Disobedience to such a slogan carries punishment. But in an issue of such ethical depth, the only thing that was achieved was that more than half of the conservative caucus was empty. It was the way to discreetly express an abstention. For several hours, it has been the opposition MPs – Labor, Scottish nationalists, Liberal Democrats or Greens – who have intervened, one after another, to express the anger of their voters with Johnson’s behavior and accuse him of having lied to Parliament .
The two worst blows to the prime minister, even though he was thousands of miles away from the debate, have come from within his own ranks. Along with Baker, another conservative deputy, William Wragg, president of the Committee on Constitutional Affairs, called on his fellow ranks to do the right thing. Wragg had already called for Johnson’s resignation days before, and the Ukraine crisis, he said, was not an excuse for him: “The invasion of a sovereign nation by an aggressive dictator cannot be the reason for us to accept lowering our own levels of ethical requirement,” he said.

So now that Odd Future is closely associated with an MTV venture, it may be time to talk about them.
This L.A.-based, teenaged rap crew numbers just shy of a dozen and is spearheaded by main rhymer Tyler the Creator, who is signed independently to XL. He released the mixtape "Bastard" last year.
More of a cult than a Clan, Odd Future Wolf Gang Kill Them All will likely be remembered as those kids with songs about rape, anal sex, standard juvenile mischief and boorish violence. That doesn't seem to be a reputation that bothers them, either.
Funny Or Die! has posted a NSFW comedy video of the group, which gives some handle to this ride. Check that out, plus other music sideshows from the group, below.
The possibility (and probability) that Odd Future has been approached by squares at the majors is itself a satire -- of the beige-suited has-beens in A&R trying to convince them to make songs "less rapey" paints a sad picture of very real extremes. And, indeed, in this very galaxy, it's happening, like when Interscope struck that hot iron as everybody still thought Die Antwoord was a joke.
This is the part when Odd Future goes from full-frontal subversion to crackpot water cooler chat. The group made for quite a performance on "Jimmy Fallon" last month. They're on slate to perform at the mtvU Woodie Awards this spring. They've arrived on Funny Or f***ing Die.

A version of this article was published in the Financial Times International Edition on September 6
How do you make an already challenging race even more demanding? Run it up a mountain is what the organisers of the Jungfrau Marathon in Switzerland’s Bernese Oberland decided to do back in 1993, with huge success. The race, which styles itself the world’s toughest marathon, has grown strongly ever since the first event, which attracted around 1,800 runners of all abilities. Today, some 4,500 runners have registered for the16th Jungfrau Marathon, which starts at the Grand Hotel Victoria Jungfrau in Interlaken at 9am central European time. The winner is expected to cross the finishing line, in the shadow of the fearsome North Face of the Eiger, three hours later.
Last year’s male winner – world marathon champion and course record holder Jonathan Wyatt from New Zealand - finished in 2h 55m 32.1s; Norway’s Anita Hakenstad Evertsen was the first woman, in 3h 23m 05.5s. Jonathan Wyatt isn’t competing this year as the race is too close to another mountain race that is his priority, and he thinks the men’s race is very open. “You never know how the Africans will go but they could surprise,” he says. “The Italian Hermann Achmueller ran well last year and will be a top three contender. Tim Short (GB) has been going well this year. Martin Cox (also GB) is very experienced and knows the track, so if he can get to Wengen in the lead group he could well medal.”
Having taken part in a 20-kilometre training run over part of the course, organised by race director Richard Umberg, former Swiss marathon record holder, I can state with certainty that this is not a race for the faint-hearted. The final 5km section of this leg is a gruelling climb from the floor of the Lauterbrunnen Valley, by consensus the hardest part of the course because of the increase in altitude and the very steep gradients. It transports runners from a landscape widely accepted to be the model for Rivendell, home of the Elves in The Lord of the Rings. They arrive in the picturesque village of Wengen, which remains a popular target for non-Swiss property hunters even in the current climate of economic uncertainty. Local BEKB manager Erhard Mueller, one of the 1,200-strong team of volunteers assembled by technical officer Andreas Waser to man the race, must be one of the very few bankers in Europe still actively looking for new mortgage business.
The president of the organising committee is Christoph Seiler, whose day job is as chief financial officer of Jungfrau Railways, owner of the highest railway station in Europe, Jungfraujoch. Even he admits that a race with gradients of 30 per cent and a climb of 1,839 metres is over the top. “Ordinary people are trying something that is absolutely crazy,” he says. “It is very steep, and it hurts.” He ran a personal best of 3h 18m in 1998.
He did add – not with an entirely straight face - that it can be easier than a city marathon. “After 25 kilometres, it’s a hike. You only run the first half.” Some elite runners use the Jungfrau Marathon to prepare for city races. In 1997, the late Francisca Rochat-Moser won it, then won the 25th New York marathon in November, coached by Richard Umberg.
The Jungfrau Marathon was conceived partly as a means of extending the summer tourist season; it now accounts for around 25,000 overnight stays a year, half the field coming from abroad. The race offers equal prize money to the first three men and women to finish: Sfr10,000, Sfr5,000 and Sfr3,000 for third. There is Sfr2,500 extra for new course records, currently 2h 49m 02s for men, 3h 21m 03s for women.
A further Sfr4,200 is on offer to the man and woman who achieve the best results at three intermediate ranking points, in effect a series of sprint competitions. The first comes after 4km in Interlaken, William Tell country. The second is at 20km in Lauterbrunnen, which the romantic poet Lord Byron visited in September 1816. The last is at 30.3km in Wengen, which features strongly in Jeremy Cameron’s 1999 hugely enjoyable cult novel Brown Bread in Wengen, and plays a fleeting cameo role in Hugh Laurie's only novel to date, the excellent The Gun Seller. This money is only paid if the runners finish within 10 per cent of the winning times. Sprinting was the last thing on my own mind as I staggered down Wengen’s high street in late July, drenched in sweat on a cold, damp morning, struggling to move in a straight line.
While one part of the local tourist board works out how best to exploit the area’s links with history, literature and film (Clint Eastwood’s 1975 film The Eiger Sanction is one of its screen credits, while Robert Redford and Gene Hackman's 1969 Downhill Racer is another), their colleagues seem to have declared an ‘extreme sports’ season. As we passed through Lauterbrunnen, Peter Streit, credit controller with Swiss technology group RUAG, and my course guide for 15km, bubbled enthusiastically about the Inferno Triathlon, in which he was looking forward to competing on August 23.
This comprises a 3.1km swim, a 97km road race, and a 30km mountain bike section. The final stretch is a 25km run up the mountain to Schilthorn, where the Piz Gloria restaurant - seen in the James Bond film On Her Majesty’s Secret Service - revolves at a height of 2,970 metres.
“Why don’t you enter?” Peter asked, suddenly showing a striking resemblance to the late Heath Ledger in his final role as The Joker in the Batman film Dark Knight. Any inclination to do so vanished as we started the climb to Wengen, and I ran out of fuel. You don’t have to be mad to take part in the Jungfrau Marathon, or the Inferno Triathlon, I found myself thinking, but it surely must help. They are already accepting entries for next year’s events…

Explosions in the Mind
A Universal plea for Ecstatic Peace!
If a tree falls alone in the woods, and it does in fact make a sound, Thurston Moore will track down a rare, cassette-only recording of the event as proof of its existence. For Sonic Youth's six-string scholar, life is music is noise is art is Confusion Is Sex. An aural archaeologist, he obsesses with preservation of the past, the blurring of lines between creation and destruction the foundation of underground music.
"I'm insane," Moore claims casually by phone while en route to New York City. "There's a whole community of avant-garde cassette labels, not just here in America, but around the world. I confer with all of them and constantly purchase anything they do. I'm interested in the different disciplines and strains that continue and develop."
In 1981, Moore founded his own bedroom vanity label, Ecstatic Peace! Records and Tapes. A quarter-century later, the label counts more than 100 releases, ranging from a Lydia Lunch and Michael Gira spoken-word cassette (Hard Rock) to lost demos from the Velvet Monkeys and Budd to albums from Magik Markers, Test, and Thela. Their merit? Consider it was Sonic Youth that first put Nirvana, Dinosaur (pre-Jr.), Pavement, Mudhoney, and Cat Power in the national spotlight through support slots on their various tours.
Then there's the guitarist's prolific solo career, improv collaborations, recent book (Mix Tape: The Art of Cassette Culture), visual art projects, and "Bull Tongue," his monthly music column in Arthur Magazine with Byron Coley.
"Everything's due to whatever I've established as an artist," Moore admits. "I could never have done it otherwise. Anyone who invests in Ecstatic Peace! is basically investing in me."
Fittingly, Moore reinvests in the acts whose work he puts out for public consumption, like the debut from local experimental artist and former KOOP radio host Rick Reed, whom the label head discovered during Sonic Youth's 1996 tour through a cassette compilation sold at the now-defunct record shop Thirty Three Degrees.
"At that time, really before the Internet and everything else, there was no audience for experimental music here in Austin, and there wasn't really a way to get the music out there," recalls Reed. "Right after that record, my stock went up considerably around town. I wasn't just another hack composer."
Reed's payment for the album, 1997's A Collection of Improvised and Experimental Music From Austin, Texas, was only 50 free copies, but his overall gain was immeasurable. "It established what it is I do as something concrete," acknowledges Reed. "It was great to have him, someone who travels the world in search of new music, shine his light on me and say, 'You're special.'"
Similar collateral was levied earlier this year in securing national distribution through Universal Records. The deal with the international conglomerate involves three separate tiers. Acts like Be Your Own Pet were signed as a joint venture, handled primarily by the major, while more modest rock outfits such as Black Helicopter use Universal's Fontana Distribution. The noise and experimental stuff that, as Moore put it, "doesn't stand a chance of selling more than a couple of thousand copies," Ecstatic Peace! works itself.
"Ecstatic Peace! has always been viewed as a pretty radical label," Moore says modestly. "What could be more radical than putting it into a commercial context without deradicalizing the content that much?"
"They're all over the map," agrees Craig Stewart, owner of local label Emperor Jones. "It's cool to have a label supporting new and sometimes unheard-of bands and putting good promo behind them."
At SXSW 06, for instance, Moore distributed a homemade zine by hand, alongside sidekick Andrew Kesin. In 2007, Ecstatic Peace! will host a two-stage, 12-band blowout that will likely include a performance by Moore himself.
"Ecstatic Peace! thrives in little ways, but a lot of little ways that create one big thing in people's minds," posits Moore. "I'm into exploding the whole notion of what a record label is, because at this point, the possibilities are endless."
Catch the Ecstatic Peace! caravan Saturday, Nov. 11, at Emo's, with Be Your Own Pet and Awesome Color.

Mid-Engine Chevrolet Corvette Set To Happen, Hybrid Model Could Be Part Of Next-Gen Variants
The 60-plus year tradition of front-engined Corvettes appears to be on its last legsby Kirby Garlitos, on
For 63 years, the Chevrolet Corvette has followed a tried-and-tested front-engined, rear-wheel drive layout. But if the long-held rumors about the Corvette C8 end up being true, the American sports car’s next iteration could be in line for a massive tradition-shifting shakeup. According to Car and Driver, the switch to a mid-engine layout for the eight-generation Corvette is already certain as Chevrolet begins transitioning the sports car into more exotic and potentially more lucrative markets.
Official details about the car are still scarce at this point, but C&D quotes what it says to be an “impeccable source,” is reporting that the Corvette C8 will receive a number of mid-engine powertrains over the first few years of its life. The first of these engines is the current pushrod V-8 that will be tuned to deliver as much as 500 horsepower. That engine will be used in the 2019 Corvette, which is expected to make its debut at the 2018 Detroit Auto Show. As soon as it hits the market, that version will carry a base price of around $80,000.
From there, Chevrolet will shift to a more powerful mid-engine V-8 that will make its debut with the 2020 Corvette in the same auto show a year later. No mention was made on how much power that version of the Vette will get, but it has been tipped to cost at least $100,000. A hybrid Corvette, dubbed the E-Ray Corvette, is also in the works. All indications point to it receiving the same “new” V-8, but with an extra electric motors powering the two front wheels.
As for the current-generation Corvette C7, that model will still be produced until volume production starts for the Corvette C8. But before the C7 rides off into the sunset, Chevrolet is planning to send it out on a high note with a series of special edition models that may include the ZR1 variant.
Once the shift to a mid-engine layout is complete, don’t be surprised if the Corvette C8, and all the iterations that follow, starts to set its sights on competing against some of the finest sports cars and supercars in the market today.
Continue after the jump to read the full story.
Why it matters
The switch to a mid-engine layout for the Corvette may come as a surprise to a lot of people, and for the most part, it is more eye-opening when the car in question has used a front-engine layout for the better part of six decades. But there are have been some rumblings within General Motors that the Corvette C8 will be developed with an eye towards competing against some notable sports cars and supercars.
The same Car and Driver report indicated that in conjunction with the development of the next-gen Corvette, General Motors has a fleet of sports cars and supercars like the Ferrari 458 Italia, Nissan GT-R, Porsche 911 Turbo, and BMW i8 that it uses for testing and as benchmarks for the Corvette. That tells you that GM and Chevrolet have bigger plans for the ‘Vette now that it’s approaching its eight generation. The company doesn’t have those kinds of supercars in its possession because it likes them. It has them because they represent the level that GM wants the Corvette to be a part of in the future.
From a technical standpoint, the switch to a mid-engine layout should serve the Corvette well because of the advantages it has over a front-engine layout. It’s known that a lot of sports car manufacturers aim for a 50:50 weight distribution to give the car neutral handling characteristics. Sure, front-engine sports cars can also achieve this an even weight distribution, but it doesn’t come as naturally compared to a mid-engine sports car.
Neither GM nor Chevrolet have publicly explained the decision to shift the Corvette’s engine layout, but if the timetable that Car and Driver reported proves accurate, we won’t have to wait too long to hear about why the decision was made to do this for the eight-generation Corvette.

By Ben Goodlad, Analysis Manager
Based on data taken from Avascent Analytics Inventory Forecast, which provides platform inventory data from 2012 to 2028 for 61 countries globally, Analysis Manager Ben Goodlad examines changes in the Armoured Personnel Carrier and Infantry Fighting Vehicle inventories for 24 countries in Europe.
Europe’s armoured vehicle inventories are undergoing a significant change with a greater number of wheeled vehicles being introduced in a shift away from tracked platforms. This change is most stark in the armoured personnel carrier role, where legacy platforms such as the M113 and FV432 have given way to a plethora of light and medium wheeled armoured vehicles. Data from Avascent Analytics shows that in 2013 tracked vehicle accounted for 57 percent of European armoured personnel carrier inventories with approximately 8,138 tracked armoured personnel carriers in service compared to around 6,1480 wheeled platforms. By 2017 the ratio of tracked vs wheeled APCs is roughly 50:50 as legacy platforms are gradually being withdrawn from service, and 2018 sees the number of wheeled platforms surpass tracked APCs for the first time. By 2027 wheeled APCs will make up approximately 62 percent, with the number in service increasing to 8,203.
With lessons learned from conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan, the types of APCs on offer have changed dramatically with the addition of a lighter category of platforms performing a role that has been traditionally fulfilled by either soft skinned or lightly armoured vehicles. When ranking platforms in terms of forecast unit deliveries from 2018 to 2027, three of the top five platforms fall within this category: Griffon, VBMR-Light and the yet to be selected UK Multi-Role Vehicle (Protected) Category 2 troop carrier vehicle.
Under Project Scorpion, France are introducing the 6 x 6 Griffon and 4 x 4 VBMR-Light vehicles, through the Nexter-led consortium comprising Nexter, Renault Trucks and Thales, as a replacement for its VAB fleet, which offered a much lower level of protection compared to the new platforms. At the same time Belgium have ordered the Griffon vehicle a total of 1,107 Griffons forecast to be delivered to the two countries by the end of 2027. At the same time 489 VBMR-L platforms are to be delivered by 2025, with the possibility of production extending beyond this. In the UK there is a requirement for up to 300 MRV-P Category 2 troop carrier vehicles, although it should be noted that the initial requirement is for 150 units. These vehicles will ultimately replace the UK’s Foxhound protected patrol vehicle, equipping its light mechanised force, with Foxhound due to be out of service by 2030, having entered service in 2012.
Part 2 examining Infantry Fighting Vehicle inventories is available here.
