Description: A study to determine how blending hydrogen into natural gas will change the gas properties that may influence the flow measurement performance of natural gas flow meters.
Status: Completing laboratory testing to determine the gas properties and metering characterization is ongoing.
RNG injection and hydrogen blending in natural gas networks present a valuable solution for decarbonizing traditional energy systems, including heavy industry, heating, power generation, and transport, while enabling the transition to a low-carbon economy. Accurate measurements of gas composition and flow rates are essential to ensure correct transactions and billings.
This testing will help determine potential measurement errors when introducing hydrogen into the natural gas pipeline. Additionally, natural gas mixed with lower methane content seen in Renewable Natural Gas (RNG) is being tested for gas properties and the impact on energy content. This study will assist in identifying the need for any modifications to the billing process utilized currently by the Local Distribution Companies (LDC).
During the NYSEARCH annual brainstorming session in 2021, the members identified the need to understand the impact on the measurement of therm zones with the introduction of different gas supplies like RNG, hydrogen blending, etc. Typical metering technologies used for residential and commercial applications include rotary, turbine, and diaphragm flow meters which all measure the volume displacement of gas. Utilities bill customers on a per-therm basis; the amount of energy contained within the gas.
Natural gas is measured by volume and this volume is then adjusted by applying a factor that reflects the heating value of gas contained in that volume.
The flow rate measured from the gas flow meter in homes and businesses is impacted by the gas composition, temperature of the gas, and pressure of the gas. Accurate measurements of these properties, or reasonable assumptions are required to accurately convert the volumetric flow rate of the blended hydrogen and natural gas to an energy flow rate sold to an LDC customer.
The objective of the project is to characterize the impact of varying hydrogen blends on different types of residential and commercial natural gas meters. The project is gathering the necessary gas property data that is required to calculate a mass flow rate from the residential flow meter output by simulating field conditions using a hydrogen test loop at the Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) testing facility.
The factors that are required to calculate the total energy that is billable from a metered volume include the flow rate, gas temperature, pressure, gas composition, and the Equation of State (EOS) to determine the gas properties, such as density and energy content.
To understand the gas properties of blended hydrogen, the density of various natural gas and hydrogen blends will be measured and compared with existing equations of state. Hydrogen and natural gas blends of 5% and 20% hydrogen are being tested as well as 5% and 20% hydrogen with RNG. This testing is being accomplished with a high-pressure test cylinder for constant volume and using a highly precise scale with controlled temperature and pressure conditions. The detailed comparison of the standard EOS to the gas compositions assists in the gas metering characteristics testing.
Gas meter characterization testing illustrates the performance of four common residential flow meters (rotary, turbine, diaphragm, and ultrasonic) with hydrogen blended in natural gas. This test helps inform the LDC’s as they select meters for their distribution networks in hydrogen blended natural gas grids.
Each of the four flow meters for testing are being incorporated into the SwRI flow test rig that has been constructed for the project. The rig is designed to provide a homogeneous and steady flow of test gases.
From these tests, the funders of the project are being provided with an extensive evaluation of common natural gas flow meters’ performance with hydrogen concentrations up to 20% by volume. Additionally, systematic trends in measurement are being quantified. Also, an analysis of meter performance across the flow range at each concentration is being provided.
The testing parameters were established by the funders for the gas properties testing. The four different types of residential and commercial meters were selected and sent to the SwRI testing facility. Additionally, the flow meter testing is utilizing their flow measurement expertise at the Metering Research Facility. SwRI is operating the blowdown rig to produce steady and repeatable flow conditions.
Testing is ongoing and targeted to conclude by the end of 2022.

Are Harry Styles and Lizzo Planning to Collaborate on a Song?
Since coming onto the music scene, Lizzo has found herself rubbing elbows with some of the biggest celebrities in the entertainment industry.
From Jennifer Lopez to Lil Nas X, the singer has been making famous friends left and right, now that she’s a big-named celeb herself.
But even though she now has many familiar faces part of her inner circle, Lizzo’s friendship with Harry Styles seems to be the one fans are still the most excited about.
Fans went crazy over the singers’ unexpected performance of “Juice”
Styles and Lizzo may seem like they’ve been friends for years, but their relationship has only been a few months in the making.
The two singers have been joined at the hip ever since they performed onstage together during a SiriusXM and Pandora concert in Miami ahead of this year’s Super Bowl.
The pair sang Lizzo’s hit track “Juice” together, and just in case you were wondering, the performance was as amazing as one could hope.
Not only did they harmonize amazingly together, the “Sign of the Times” crooner even bust out Lizzo’s signature choreography as the crowd went wild.
After witnessing this unexpected duet, fans took to Twitter to gush over the performance while sharing how much they loved seeing Styles and Lizzo together.
“Harry Styles and Lizzo performing and being playful together its an iconic moment to remember,” one fan tweeted.
“Harry Styles performing Juice with Lizzo is a thing I didn’t know I really, really needed,” someone else penned.
Some even suggested that the singers record a duet album, seeing as though they clearly work well with each other.
Styles weighs in on whether or not he’ll collab on a song with Lizzo
Now that the world knows that Styles and Lizzo can perform well together, many now want to know if these two plan to collab on a song in the future?
During a secret concert held in NYC on Feb. 28 for Sirius XM subscribers and Pandora listeners, the former One Direction singer opened up about this possibility.
“I mean, if something made sense, maybe,” he said of working with Lizzo. “I think it’s funny because any time people like each other or perform together, everyone kind of thinks, ‘Oh, you guys should do a song together.’ It’s fine! But it’s also fine for people to just like each other’s stuff.”
Styles went on to share that if the opportunity presented itself, he’d be more than happy to lay down a track or two with the inspirational songstress.
“But if there was ever a time where she wanted to do it and it made sense, absolutely,” he continued. “I think she’s great.”
Though many of us would love for them to record a song together, it could be a while before that happens — especially since both are busy with their own music careers.
Either way, Lizzo and Styles make for a great pair of friends, and we have a feeling that we’ll be seeing a lot more of their blossoming relationship moving forward.

The Volvo S60 Polestar is unlike every other Volvo we’ve driven recently.
For one thing, it’s not a brand-new model; the regular S60 it’s based on first appeared in 2010.
For another, it’s an extremely eye-catching—some might say retina-searing—shade of blue; this car sticks out like the proverbial sore thumb.
Third, it was, for some time, the fastest four-door production car to lap the Nürburgring Nordschleife.
That’s right—this a Volvo with a ‘Ring record.
Intrigued? We sure were.
What’s a Polestar?
Audi has Audi Sport.
BMW has its M Division.
AMG is the Mercedes-Benz equivalent.
And at Volvo, there’s Polestar.
For the past two decades, Polestar has been campaigning Volvos in motorsport. More recently, it’s been applying that knowhow to road cars, starting in 2014 with an earlier iteration of this S60 (and the V60 wagon).
There’s precedence for this; in the 1990s, Volvo shook up the British Touring Car Championship by entering a pair of very fast station wagons that did much to inspire a new kind of Volvo fan, shifting a lot of T5 and T5-R models in the process.

In her column on this page yesterday, Alicia Washington argued that young liberals — the demographic that helped make this year’s election even close — ought not to mourn the victory of Bush, but rather continue to fight the good fight. “Democrats do not have the time to complain, to whine, to be bitter or to be pessimistic,” she wrote.
Admirably, Ms. Washington is taking her own good advice by writing an inspiring column. But she’s a liberal writing for a liberal audience, and in order to move toward any sort of unity, liberals must discourse with conservatives, even if we’d rather not.
In the election’s wake, we seem to be forgetting that liberalism — a set of political beliefs guided by open-mindedness and tolerance — depends upon good manners. It couldn’t be more obvious that those who lost Tuesday’s battle need to engage in polite discussion with those who think differently. We are lucky to live in a society in which we are not politically persecuted for our political beliefs. We are, however, often socially persecuted for them. The problem lies on both sides of the fence; the left and the right alike need a liberal dose of good, old-fashioned manners.
Let me give an example that is, at face value, just a problem of table manners. At dinner a few days before the election, a friend of mine, whose intelligence and sanity I respect, said that she was planning to vote for Bush. Another girl at the table was, apparently, not a Bush supporter. But instead of engaging my friend in some sort of conversation or argument, the girl flipped out. She exclaimed that she doesn’t understand the psychos who vote for Bush, and that my friend scared her, and she picked up her tray and left the dinner table.
This is a particularly unsettling story because the Bush-hater would have us believe that she, like many liberals, is concerned with social progressivism and with fostering peaceful relations with other nations. Isn’t it obvious, then, that she should want to understand why the girl across the table is different from her?
Let us, though, assume that this girl is atypical; most of us actually like to hear other opinions. We all fall short, though, when it comes to giving them a chance. It’s not much harder to say “I think Bush is a bad president” than it is to say “Bush is Satan,” but the difference goes a long way.
More importantly, you’re not convincing anyone of anything when you insult them. Storming away from the table or tacking up a sign is easy, but ineffective; even from a selfish perspective, it is inappropriate. We all — liberals and conservatives alike — mustn’t run away from conversations, mustn’t cower behind religious rhetoric, when the real solution lies in what we all do so much of anyway: arguing.
Like Alicia Washington in her column, we should all argue our cases clearly, and maybe someday we’ll learn something from our would-be enemies. As soon as Bush’s re-election was a sure thing, The New York Times — which had endorsed Kerry — published an excellent editorial telling liberals to be hopeful and conservatives to hold Bush accountable for everything he does.
Moreover, though, The Times cautioned against what plagued both parties throughout this campaign: “The main emotion seemed to be contempt for the other side and the main divisions over lines of moral belief and fears about personal and national security that no position paper or 30-second spot can bridge.” We weren’t respecting each other, and we have yet to start.
This year, the Democrats definitely missed the boat. The party had every reason to trust that Kerry could have carried a positive campaign with a clear message, but instead we hated Bush and were rude to his supporters. With a clearer focus on the Kerry campaign and less anger about the past, the election returns on Tuesday might have been different.
This attitude, which somewhat eclipsed all that the Democratic party actually stands for, was most potently expressed by Michael Moore, whose “Fahrenheit 9/11” and whose general irreverence only riled up his fan base and probably turned off a lot of swing voters. It’s that creeping rage, hate and resistance to actual discourse that is keeping the American left 2 percent behind these days.
Conservatives, of course, can be arrogant and just as unwilling to listen to opponents. But defeat, unlike victory, is inherently bitter and angry. The challenge for liberals now is to resist the Michael Moore approach, and to be polite and interested — instead of shocked and appalled — when we encounter peers who voted for Bush. Politeness is, after all, the most important social guideline for liberal discourse.

- 650g potatoes (peeled weight)
- 50g butter
- 300ml semi-skimmed milk, plus 4 tbsp for the mash
- 2 x 325g packs Asda Fish Pie Mix
- 1 small shallot
- 1 bay leaf (optional)
- 25g plain flour
- 2 tbsp curly parsley, chopped
- 50g Gruyère cheese (or Cheddar cheese), grated
Pre-heat the oven to 190C/170C Fan/Gas 5. Put the potatoes in a pan, cover with cold water and bring to the boil. Simmer for about 15-20 minutes until tender. Drain and return to the pan. Stand over a very low heat for a minute to drive off excess moisture.
Mash the potatoes with 25g butter and 4 tbsp milk. Season well, cover and set aside.
Meanwhile, put all the fish in a large, wide-based pan. Add the shallot, bay leaf and 300ml milk. Cover and heat gently until the milk is just simmering. Simmer gently for 10 minutes or until the fish flakes easily.
Strain off the milk and discard the bay leaf and shallot. Break the fish into large flakes and put in a fairly shallow, oven-proof dish. Set aside.
Melt the rest of the butter in a pan. Remove from the heat and stir in the flour. Stir over a low heat for a minute. Gradually whisk in the milk, using a wire whisk, and then bring to the boil, whisking all the time until the sauce is creamy. Stir in the parsley. Season to taste. You not need salt because the smoked haddock will be salty. Pour over the fish and mix gently.
Cover the fish with the mash. The easiest way is to put large spoonfuls over the top, then gently spread and level with the spoon. Sprinkle over the cheese and bake for 25-30 minutes.
Alternatively, allow the finished pie to cool at the end of step 6 and freeze. You can also chill the pie for up to 24 hours. It will take about 40 minutes to cook straight from the fridge. If frozen, defrost in the fridge for 8 hours and then cook for 40 minutes.

In contrast to most DeFi initiatives that solely concentrate on Ethereum, Kava offers a decentralized finance answer for various property.
Huobi International, the main crypto alternate largely utilized in China, right now listed KAVA and HUSD as a pair publically accessible to merchants. Huobi has indicated they are going to strengthen ties with DeFi’s hidden gem, Kava.
Now two greatest cryptocurrency exchanges with big audiences integrating KAVA’s options. In keeping with the announcement and press launch issued by Huobi DeFi labs, an integration much like how Binance offers publicity to Kava’s technology would mark a brand new entrant of enterprise integrations in DeFi that acknowledge the development began by Binance and see the worth of DeFi for centralized monetary establishments. Any monetary service that has crypto can now add decentralized monetary companies as a function for his or her customers. Different monetary establishments will probably need to hook into DeFi ought to the development proceed. For instance, customers of Robinhood need to not solely purchase their Bitcoin and maintain it, however they need to earn excessive APY since this function is now turning into accessible throughout centralized monetary establishments worldwide. Etoro lately said that they’re searching for decentralized monetary integrations. Kava has a really sturdy enterprise growth workforce engaged on these partnerships instantly out of Silicon Valley. When customers request new options it usually signifies that the companies are trending on different platforms, and proper now merchants need DeFi.
Broadening Entry to DeFi
Following the DeFi business’s ongoing progress, groups and builders start to look towards the long run. Regardless of the business’s recognition, a number of shortcomings have turn out to be outspokenly obvious. For one, too many initiatives like Polkadot and Ethereum help a siloed blockchain ecosystem solely, thereby defeating the decentralized nature of DeFi. However, some builders desire the fast and simple turnaround of deploying an app on the Ethereum blockchain.
Binance has paved the way in which for DeFi options that span a number of blockchains and enhance total liquidity. Each Kava and Compound Finance are directly accessible via the Binance platform. It speaks volumes that the largest alternate on this planet favors blockchain-agnostic decentralized finance options. In a media interview on July thirty first 2020, CEO and Founding father of Binance, CZ said, “we’re positively taking a look at DeFi very intently. Binance has two separate platforms. One is sort of a centralized alternate platform and the opposite one is form of the Binance chain, decentralized blockchain. So I feel we’re providing comparable centralized finance options on Binance.com like saving and staking, and we’re letting a number of the business gamers lead the trouble on the decentralized finance growth, like Kava and different initiatives.”
Ever since launching DeFi staking on Binance, customers have been flocking to those choices. The combination of Kava and Compound Finance triggered a surge in subscriptions and offered out inside the first half-hour. This clearly alerts the general demand for DeFi options that transcend the one blockchain structure peculiar to Ethereum.
What Is Huobi Up To?
Recall that Huobi formally kicked off its foray into the decentralized finance panorama with the launch of Huobi DeFi Labs in August 2020. This initiative underscores Huobi’s dedication to accomplice with and spend money on viable DeFi initiatives. From what we now have discovered to date, the core mission of this subsidiary is geared at positioning Huobi and its customers on the coronary heart of the explosive DeFi market.
It comes as no shock that Huobi is strengthening its working relationship with Kava. In November of 2020, Huobi International integrated the KAVA token for buying and selling. A promising first signal, however this information seems to go a lot deeper than that.
Extra particularly, Huobi is adopting the same strategy as Binance. Slightly than simply supporting the asset’s buying and selling, Huobi has begun to experiment with DeFi staking and has lately built-in Kava’s know-how into its platform. Its customers can now benefit from the excessive yielding alternatives of DeFi as Kava is poised to include HBTC into its ecosystem. With this, HBTC holders can entry USDX loans on the Kava lending app and even use the loans generated to accrue extra yields on Exhausting Protocol, the world’s first DeFi cross-chain cash market.
Moreover, the joint choice to strengthen their working relationship confirms that Kava is among the few DeFi initiatives with an precise long-term imaginative and prescient. The workforce has unveiled the 2021 roadmap, introducing many vital adjustments and upgrades to the ecosystem together with plans for Ethereum.
Within the subsequent couple of months, anticipate Kava to supply extra use instances for Huobi’s property. Huobi Token, HBTC, and HUSD will all turn out to be a part of Kava’s DeFi platform. For holders of those property, the chances that include the publicity to collateralized lending and HARD cash markets is limitless.
Kava Is an Instance of DeFi 2.0
In contrast to most DeFi initiatives that solely concentrate on Ethereum, Kava offers a decentralized finance answer for various property. The community at the moment helps Binance Coin, Bitcoin, BUSD, XRP, KAVA, and HARD. Customers who maintain any of those property can now earn as much as round 69% APY via Kava’s know-how.
Evaluating this to the APY provided by different DeFi initiatives, Kava’s charges are greater than acceptable. Whereas customers can earn extra by investing in obscure DeFi property – probably susceptible to rug pulls – many individuals favor the confirmed monitor document of Bitcoin, Binance Coin, or XRP. These property have been round for years and proceed to play a job of significance within the cryptocurrency business.
Slightly than locking oneself into Ethereum-based DeFi, 2021 would be the 12 months that cross-chain decentralized finance will take heart stage. Huobi’s upcoming collaboration with Kava illustrates this level even additional. Slightly than forcing customers into shopping for tokens that can – almost certainly – lose worth over time, Kava’s strategy embraces the tried-and-test crypto-assets.
Potential KAVA Worth Impression
Since 93% of crypto customers usually are not but engaged in DeFi incomes actions, Kava has continued to seize the chance seen with centralized exchanges. These exchanges will convey DeFi options like Kava to tens of millions of individuals’s consideration and they’re very a lot more likely to be those to take the “DeFi meets CeFi” development mainstream. If Kava can faucet into this market, the worth of its native KAVA token is more likely to skyrocket. Extra importantly, there might be extra liquidity throughout their merchandise.
Moreover, the worth of Cosmos’ native token ATOM is rising. KAVA could profit from this momentum because the Kava blockchain is constructed utilizing the Cosmos Tendermint SDK that says the launch of IBC, inter blockchain communication enabling composability February 18th, 2021. That is proper about the identical timeline when the Kava integration launch on Huobi. When evaluating the 2, Kava has a broader attraction than Cosmos, as it’s higher positioned for enterprise growth, particularly with Fintech platforms as a result of Kava is situated within the Silicon Valley. Huobi is paying shut consideration to Kava and never Cosmos, in spite of everything.
From a broader perspective, it appears protected to imagine that the partnership between Kava and Huobi will pave the way in which for broader DeFi adoption. It additionally highlights the potential of this cross-chain decentralized finance answer. When exchanges need to combine initiatives trying past Ethereum for liquidity, a transparent message is distributed to the remainder of the business.
The 12 months 2021 will put a robust concentrate on cross-chain DeFi options and slowly erode the significance of Ethereum-only initiatives. Kava paves the way in which for broader adoption of decentralized finance. With over $850 billion in liquidity to faucet into, the long run appears to be like promising for Kava.

Although it would be near to impossible to ruin this wonderful tale, this narrator nearly did. I am not sure what I expected to hear, but she did not deliver in my opinion. When I read to children, no less adults, I usually give some emphasis. For all the emotions in this story, there was minimal in the narrator's voice. I should have listened to a sample of all the versions available before choosing.
while not horrible, the narrator of this recording does not live up to expectations. we get a handfull of charicter voices but nothing in the way of emotion. overall the performance was just plain flat. of course this book doesn't NEED good acting to be a wonderful listen. I'd recomend choosing another version if possible, but this is far better than never "reading" the book.
I watched the Wizard of Oz on TV every year as a child, but I do not remember reading the book. Because time is so precious, I got the audio version - and it's very well done. In fact, the narration brings this Classic to Life. Great audio quality, too.

Jets CEO shares 2021 wishlist after club’s positive recovery
BUOYED by some positive club developments, Richard Hughes hopes to put the laptop away and enjoy a short Christmas break.
After what he describes as “a crazy year’’ due to COVID, the Ipswich Jets CEO deserves that opportunity, along with other key sports decision-makers in the city.
Although the Jets were unable to complete an Intrust Super Cup state competition, the club’s growing netball franchise continued to achieve pleasing success.
A year after the Jets Rubies made the grand final in their inaugural second tier Netball Queensland competition season, the Ipswich club’s top grade Sapphires achieved the same feat this season.
The Jets Sapphires also won a historic premiership as competition leaders after the qualifying matches.
Although neither University of Southern Queensland-backed team won a season decider, their incredible progress augurs well for the future.
Their efforts were acknowledged at the recent Jets club event where netball and rugby league awards were presented.
Bridey Condron (Most Valuable Player) and Brooke Hams (Club Person of the Year) were among the major award winners.
Hughes was impressed how the Jets netballers responded after being given a short time to prepare for a delayed season due to COVID.
“It was fantastic,’’ Hughes said. “The girls gathered themselves pretty quickly and all came together and did exceptionally well.’’
Hughes, who took over as Jets CEO early last year, praised the netballers for their valuable contribution to the club and community.
“More than anything, they showed themselves as good ambassadors, good athletes, so they are fantastic for the Jets and they really put themselves into the mould of the Jets family really very quickly.’’
With the netball season complete, the Jets focus returns to rugby league.
Jets teams from under-16 to state league level are being prepared for next year with coaches already well advanced in pre-season preparations.
“All the boys are back in training now,’’ Hughes said.
“We’ve got a fair few of the guys already contracted for next year.’’
An important development is the Jets fielding a second senior side in next year’s Rugby League Ipswich competition.
“We’ve always wished for that to give us some additional troops and also to contribute back to the local league,’’ Hughes said.
“This achieves both those things, which is great.’’
The Jets CEO backed head coach Keiron Lander’s push to bring in outside county-based players.
“The point is we’re not trying to take people out of the local league,’’ Hughes said.
“In fact, quite the opposite. We want to bring people in - people that Keiron brings in - just give some opportunities to work their trade . . . and it’s a great opportunity to play Cup level.
“It’s very exciting.’’
Hughes said having netball flourish in a tough year for rugby league was satisfying.
“As a club, both on the football and netball sides, we are ending the year strongly ready for what will hopefully be a good 2021,’’ he said.
“We were lucky. We’ve got a good core of sponsors and fans with stuff we did this year.
“It’s been tough but I guess it’s the kind of opportunity to really show who we are as a Jets family, as opposed to just on the field.
“Everybody has come together.
“In what’s been a crazy year this year, we’ve still been able to come out the other side.’’
That’s why Hughes has clearcut goals at the top of his 2021 wishlist.
“From an on field, on core perspective, it’s very much about consolidating,’’ he said.
“Giving the boys some good football . . . and for the girls, it’s to continue that success that they had this year and try and go one step beyond this year.
“Off field, it’s all about consolidating 2020 and making sure that we are strong for next year and maintain that.’’

Despite relatively little of it being shown at E3, apart from the intro segments, Playstation head Shuhei Yoshida is confident that PS4-exclusive The Last Guardian will live up to its pedigree when it finally drops in October.
Gamesvelt.tv interviewed Yoshida on the sidelines of E3, and asked if was concerned as to whether or not the game would live up to people’s expectations. This isn’t an idle question considering that The Last Guardian succeeds the legendary Shadow of the Colossus, after a hiatus of ten years. Yoshida expressed his confidence in the game, saying that “No, I’m not worried. I have confidence in Ueda-san’s vision. I expect people will enjoy it.”
Though The Last Guardian first appeared at E3 2009 as a Playstation 3 exclusive, years upon years of delays and worries finally had the game’s development jump ship to the Playstation 4. Relatively little The Last Guardian content being shown at E3 this year, but Yoshida says that this was to ensure that players could discover the story elements for themselves when the game releases. “We don’t want to spoil the story so we are not going to show too much until the game comes out,” Yoshida said.

Those who have been named in the charge sheet, include Sukhraj Singh alias Sukha of Gurdaspur, Ravinder Singh of Hussainpura, Ludhiana, Akashdeep Arora alias Dhaliwal of Salem Tabri, Ludhiana, Jagroop Singh of Basti Jodhewal, Ludhiana, Sukhdeep Singh alias Bhura of Kharal, Gurdaspur, Gurjit Singh alias Bhaa of Lakhanpal, Gurdaspur, Inderjit Singh of Rashiana, Tarn Taran, and Sukhmeet Pal Singh alias Sukh of Bikhariwal, Gurdaspur.
According to NIA officials the investigations in the case revealed that killing of Sandhu was executed with the intent to strike terror in the minds of people of India and especially those opposed to Khalistani ideology.
“The transnational conspiracy in the instant crime was hatched by Pakistan based self styled chief of KLF Lakhvir Singh Rode and top foreign based KLF terrorists, who provided arms and ammunitions and funds to the accused persons,” the NIA has alleged in the charge sheet.
It further said, it has also been unearthed that a well-oiled “Terrorist-Narcotics-Criminal nexus” existed wherein narcotic drugs along with weapons were smuggled by Pakistan based entities from across the International Border in Punjab for generation of funds for executing terrorist acts.
NIA had earlier investigated eight similar incidents of targeted killings/attempted killings by KLF between January 2016 and October 2017, wherein seven persons belonging to specific communities were killed, the agency said in the charge sheet.
“Investigation has established that foreign based KLF leadership had recruited, financed and armed a local gangster Sukh Bikhariwal and tasked him to execute the killings through his associates. After the reported killing of Harmeet Singh alias Happy alias PHD, Pak based operational chief of KLF in Pakistan in Jan 2020, Sukh Bikhariwal was directed by Lakhvir Singh Rode and other KLF operatives through encrypted communication platforms to kill Comrade Sandhu,” it said.
“The reconnaissance of the target was carried by charge sheeted accused Inderjeet Singh and sharp shooters Gurjit Singh and Sukhdeep Singh, who were recruited for killing Comrade Sandhu. The other charge sheeted accused are associates of Sukh Bikhariwal, who were instrumental in organising logistics and shelter to the shooters,” the NIA alleged. (UNI)

Deep drilling and tunnel excavation rely on new rock-breaking technology. Currently, there is a lack of research on the micro mechanism of high-voltage electro-pulse boring (EPB). The design structure of the electrode bit is diverse, and there is still a great room for improving the service life of the electrode bit, the quality of the borehole wall, and the energy loss in the drilling process. Based on this, first, the electrode bits in the EPB system were improved, and the EPB tests was carried out. The three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction cloud graphs of broken granite were obtained, and the drilling with a diameter of 60 mm in granite and red sandstone was actualized. Compared with the drilling effect before improvement, the reliability and the service life of electrode bits and test devices were verified. Second, the high-voltage EPB experiments with different electric parameters were carried out, and the complete drilling with a diameter of 100 mm in red sandstone was realized. Finally, the composition and the microstructure of rock were obtained with Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR) spectrometer, scanning electron microscope (SEM), and energy-dispersive spectrometer (EDS) before and after EPB. It was concluded that the prefragmentation could be realized by EPB. The rock mass near the discharge channel underwent an oxidation reaction in addition to physical damage and formed new oxidation products. The EPB experimental study provided practical guidance for the design of the electrical bits and the improvement of the rock-breaking efficiency.

Loan sanctions by non-banking finance companies fell 15 per cent in the fourth quarter of 2019-20.
Data released by the Finance Industry Development Council (FIDC) on Thursday revealed that sanctions by NBFCs amounted to ₹2,56,330.05 crore in the quarter ended March 31, 2020 as against ₹3,02,654.69 crore in the same period a year ago.
“We must remember that in the fourth quarter of 2018-19 also there was a 31 per cent annual reduction in sanctions in the aftermath of IL&FS and so this reduction of 15 per cent is in spite of the base effect of low volumes and therefore, is actually very sharp,” said Mahesh Thakkar, Director General, FIDC. He added that most industrialised States such as Delhi, Maharashtra and Tamil Nadu showed a decline, while in Gujarat there was a flat trend.
Barring bank guarantees, personal and education loans, property loans and home credit finance, sanctions in most other categories declined in the quarter.
According to the data, secured business loan sanctions fell by 52 per cent in the fourth quarter of last fiscal, while housing loans fell by 31 per cent.
Personal auto loan sanctions fell by 32 per cent in the January to March quarter and two-wheeler loans declined by 18 per cent. Sanctions for used car loans also declined by 14 per cent in the period and those for used tractors fell by 19 per cent. Sanctions for agri loans, too, were down by 60 per cent in the period.
Consumer loans fell by six per cent and gold loans declined by 22 per cent in the fourth quarter last fiscal.
Loan sanctions are expected to have fallen further in the first quarter of the current fiscal amidst the national lockdown and economic uncertainty as well as the moratorium till August end.

A senior Obama State Department official gave the green light to an FBI agent in 2016 to meet with dossier writer Christopher Steele, a new book says.
The two met at Mr. Steele’s London office, touching off a relationship that would fuel the ongoing investigation into possible Donald Trump-Russia election collusion that shows no sign of ending.
Mr. Steele’s sensational charge that prompted an FBI wiretap on Trump volunteer Carter Page was sourced to the girlfriend of an unidentified Kremlin figure, according to the book. Republicans have roundly criticized the bureau for relying on the unverified, Democratic Party-financed dossier to ask a judge to approve a year of surveillance in 2016 and 2017.
John O. Brennan, Mr. Obama’s CIA director, worked behind the scenes before the election to get his suspicions about Trump and Russia into the news media.
These disclosures, including that Victoria Nuland, then at State, started the FBI-Steele marriage is contained in “Russian Roulette.” The book, which was released Tuesday, was authored by two longtime Washington media figures: Yahoo News reporter Michael Isikoff and Mother Jones magazine’s David Corn.
Two committees, the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence and the Senate Judiciary Committee, are investigating how Obama officials promoted Mr. Steele’s 35-page dossier, which in essence is raw opposition research designed to destroy the Trump candidacy.
Mr. Steele makes a series of criminal charges against Mr. Trump and his associates, contending there was an “extensive conspiracy” between them and the Kremlin. This supposed collusion has not been substantiated publicly. House intelligence committee Republicans on Monday said their 14-month investigation found no collusion and had ended.
“Russian Roulette” shows Obama people played a role in promoting the collusion theory and getting law enforcement involved.
Mr. Steele was excited over his findings about Mr. Trump’s supposed dalliance with Russian prostitutes and purported collusion with the Kremlin. He pressed his handler, Glenn Simpson of Fusion GPS, to let him go to the FBI.
Mr. Simpson agreed. Mr. Steele telephoned Michael Gaeta, an FBI agent with whom he worked on soccer league corruption who was then stationed at the U.S. Embassy in Rome.
“I can’t discuss it over the phone. You have to come here. Believe me, Mike, you have to come to London,” Mr. Steele told him that summer.
Says “Russian Roulette,” “There were a few hoops Gaeta had to jump through. He was assigned to the U.S. embassy in Rome. The FBI checked with Victoria Nuland’s office at the State Department: Do you support this meeting? Nuland, having found Steele’s reports on Ukraine to have been generally credible, gave the green light.”
“Within a few days, on July 5, Gaeta arrived and headed to Steele’s office near Victoria station. Steele handed him a copy of the report. Gaeta, a seasoned FBI agent, started to read. He turned white. For a while, Gaeta said nothing. Then he remarked, ‘I have to report this to headquarters.’”
Ms. Nuland’s name surfaced in January as Senate investigators under Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, Iowa Republican, turned up evidence that Mr. Steele met with another Obama State Department official, Jonathan Winer.
He worked as a middleman to bring Mr. Steele together with Sidney Blumenthal, a fierce Hillary Clinton defender. Mr. Winer spoke with Ms. Nuland, who gave a heads-up to Secretary of State John F. Kerry.
At the time, Ms. Nuland, a career diplomat, was assistant secretary of state for European and Eurasian affairs.
She is now chief executive at the Center for a New American Security. A message to the press office was not returned.
In the Page affair, Mr. Steele accused the energy investor of meeting with two Kremlin figures while in Moscow to deliver a public speech in July 2016. Mr. Steele said the three discussed bribes for sanctions relief.
Mr. Page has testified under oath that he never met the two men or discussed bribes.
Ms. Nuland was not the only Obama appointee working against the Trump candidate.
Isikoff-Corn report that Mr. Brennan, who in retirement is one of Mr. Trump’s hardest critics, telephoned Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid, Nevada Democrat, in August 2016. He alerted him that Russia had hacked Democrat Party computers and suggested that the Trump campaign was in on the plot. This charge has not been substantiated more than a year later.
Mr. Brennan’s call was to prompt Mr. Reid to expose the news publicly, which he did. His open letter referred, without name, to the Page trip, something right out of the dossier, which had not yet become public.
The authors say the information likely came from the Clinton campaign, which had been briefed on Mr. Steele’s allegations. Mr. Steele was paid by Fusion with money from the Democratic National Committee and Hillary Clinton campaign. Republicans have called this collusion — using bought smut from Russian sources to inject into the campaign.
“Russian Roulette” picks up many Democratic Party talking points.
⦁ Democrats are portrayed as truth-seekers while Trump people are awash in Russian contacts.
⦁ Mr. Steele’s sensational charges are repeated with not much skepticism.
⦁ Mr. Steele is possibly the most respected spy in recent British history.
⦁ The Trump transition team may have been violating the obscure 1799 Logan Act by conducting diplomacy. This charge was spun to reporters from the Obama Justice Department.
As the Nov. 8 election lay days away, Mr. Simpson, who was desperate to get Steele’s anti-Trump narratives into the media, met with Mr. Corn over the former spy’s latest anti-Trump memo.
” ‘This stuff is almost unbelievable,’ Simpson said,” according to the book.
Republicans today say Mr. Steele’s collusion allegations remain unbelievable. “Russian Roulette” neither confirms nor rebuts them.

Two articles in Advertising Age today aren’t anything new to most of us but it’s interesting to see their writers’ take on the news and branding angles of the Virginia Tech tragedy.
News Flash: Anything This Graphic Should Never Have A Logo by Simon Dumenco is downright bitter and he makes a good case. His conclusion:
We’ve come to the point at which murderous psychopaths and TV news executives are of the same mind when it comes to human tragedy: It’s a branding opportunity.
Traditional media is catching up with 2.0.
The reaction is fear and anger.

OK, so all of them seem like busy weekends, but this weekend we have two events that demonstrate the range of who we are as GPCers.
First, we love having a good time, am I right? And what better way to have fun than be entertained by music! Our very own Tom Baust will be offering a concert this Saturday, October 17th at 7 pm. The title of the show is “My Story in Song”, but I think his story might also resemble our stories as we listen to the music from radio, TV, Broadway and the movies that has impacted Tom’s life as well as ours. So come on out, it should be a fun time.
The second event is on Sunday afternoon. POWER (Philadelphians Organized to Witness Empower and Rebuild) is working to expand throughout the commonwealth and Montgomery and Delaware County are its first efforts. This Metro chapter is being formed so that people of faith can take positive steps to live out our faith in the public realm. On Sunday at 3 pm, we will gather at Hope Community Church in King of Prussia, to begin to plan for the Organizing Convention of POWER Metro which will be held in February of 2016.
I hope everyone can come out to these events

TheWe have reached an agreement to trade veteran injured forward In a deal with three teams, the Western Conference contender will be able to land a promising third-year guard According to sources, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN was informed.
Alexander-Walker will join the Jazz from theMake a reserve for the future From the Sources confirmed that the deal was made. Portland will also send guard , one the four players who were acquired from Tuesday Trade to San Antonio and Acquire Second-year Forward Utah. The Jazz will send both the Blazers, and the Spurs a second-round selection.
Alexander-Walker (23), the 17th overall draft pick, has been averaging 12.8 and 2.8 assists per games this season. He is expected to become a rotation player for Jazz. Alexander-Walker could be able to fill in some of Ingles's playmaking and scoring gaps. Alexander-Walker, who is still on his rookie contract, believes Utah's developmental program will help him.
According to Bobby Marks of ESPN, the Jazz will be able to save $11 Million in luxury tax.
The Blazers see Hughes as a potential developmental prospect. They traded for Ingles in order to maintain financial flexibility. Ingles will be making $14 million this season.
Ingles is a great example of Utah's developmental success. He joined the Jazz as a final cut from the 2014 LA Clippers training camp. Ingles has been an integral role player and fan favourite during his eight-year tenure.
Ingles' career averages are 8.6 points and 3.0 assists. He shoots 40.8% from 3-point range. Ingles had his best season last year, when he finished second behind teammate.Sixth Man of Year: Averaged 12.1 points and 4.7 assists, while shooting 45.1% 3s for the Jazz team that finished with the NBA’s best record.
Ingles knew his name was often mentioned in trade discussions prior to suffering the season-ending injury Jan. 30, and he anticipated being traded as an expiring contract.
Ingles stated that if he or she can get someone back to help them push for the end, that is what he/she would do. I'm not going sit there and be bitter and upset. I have eight years experience in this community through hard work and volunteerism. However, I am very aware of the business aspect and all that goes with it.
Ingles insists that he has “literally not doubt” that he will make an impressive comeback after his knee surgery. He said that he would love to return to Utah, but that he will be able to exercise unrestricted agency and keep an open mind.

Charge d’ Affaires Patricia Chanda has disclosed that Government has approved 43 bestowal of citizenship applications made by Zambians based in the United Kingdom.
Ms Chanda who is the Deputy High Commissioner to the UK said it is dignifying to have a native nationality as it plays an important role in preserving one’s culture and tradition and national identity.
She has called on more Zambians in UK who lost their citizenship before dual citizenship was introduced to apply for restoration.
“I am happy to inform Zambians based in the United Kingdom that the Zambian government has approved 43 bestowal of citizenship applications made by Zambian applicants based in the United Kingdom. This is very good news and as a Mission we are urging more Zambians based in the UK to apply. The applications forms can be obtained at the Zambia High Commission,” she said.
Ms Chanda also said the Diaspora in the UK are important partners in economic development and implored Zambians
to consider having dual nationality so that they can stay connected to their Zambian culture as they give back to their country.
“And let me take this opportunity to encourage you all fellow Zambians to be good ambassadors of promoting Zambia to the outside world. As Zambians, let us take it upon ourselves to change the way others think about Zambia. We, in the diaspora are the best people to market Zambia. All of us are here to improve the image of Zambia, let us show true commitment to this aim. It starts with you and me,” she said.

Using TrueImage Home 9, I've tried restoring a variety of Win XP (SP2) active partitions, and every time, in whatever configuration I use, I get the error "a disk read error occurred". I'm very confident that my hardware is OK, having run a gamut of diagnostics, chkdisks, etc. etc. I can freshly install Win XP (or Ubuntu) on the same blank HD. Restoring an Ubuntu TrueImage backup to the same drive works flawlessly. It's just XP that is the problem. I have tried, from the XP recovery console, doing fixboot, fixmbr etc. I've run other utilities that rebuild the mbr and active partition boot sector. But I always get the same error. Anyone have any ideas? I'm pulling my hair out.

The Delaware State Police have identified the name of the driver who died in a motor vehicle crash on DE-495 approximately 1 mile south of Edgemoor Rd. on May 10, 2020, as 52-year-old Melanie M. Toto of New Castle, DE.
Edgemoor – Just before 12:00 this morning rescue crews along with New Castle County Paramedics responded I-495 NB at the Edgemoor underpass for a motor vehicle accident with one vehicle reported on fire.
First arriving crews confirmed one vehicle off the road and on fire with the driver trapped and a second vehicle in the center lane.
The crash occurred on May 10, 2020, at approximately 11:51 p.m., when a blue Toyota passenger vehicle was traveling northbound on DE-495 in the center lane approximately 1 mile south of Edgemoor Road. A 2016 Dodge Challenger, operated by a 45-year-old Wilmington man, was also traveling northbound DE-495 in the center lane, rapidly approaching the Toyota, according to State Police spokeswoman Senior Corporal Heather Pepper.
Pepper said the Dodge Challenger failed to maneuver around the Toyota, and the front bumper of the Dodge Challenger struck the rear bumper of the Toyota, which caused the gas tank of the Toyota to rupture. After impact, the Toyota continued out of control, exited the northbound lanes and down the embankment as it was engulfed in flames.
Once the vehicle came to rest, the male operator and only occupant in the vehicle, became entrapped within the burning vehicle. The operator of the Toyota was pronounced deceased at the scene. At this time, very little is known about the operator and the vehicle due to the extensive fire damage.
Following the initial impact, the Dodge Charger continued out of control for over 1,000 feet before the vehicle came to rest in the center lane. The operator was treated at the collision scene for minor injuries.
Trooper 4, originally dispatched to the crash was not utilized for transport, however, medics asked the crew to use the FLIR to search the area for additional patients. None were found.
The crash remains under investigation by the Delaware State Police Troop 2 Collision Reconstruction Unit. If anyone has information relating to the owner of a blue Toyota 4-door passenger vehicle, which displays a vanity tag located in the front of the vehicle with the following information “Raymond 9-18-66 – 01-30-08”, please contact Sgt. D. Alexander at DSP/ Troop 2 (302) [email protected].

Potential causes of sleep disturbance in patients with epilepsy can be divided into three groups:
- effects of epilepsy on sleep
- effects of medication on sleep
- the presence of another sleep disorder
In addition to relieving daytime sleepiness, identifying and treating coexisting sleep disorders may also improve seizure control or allow the physician to increase a patient’s medication regimen to improve seizure control.
The physician who is faced with a patient with epilepsy who has sleep difficulty should begin by categorizing the complaint as either excessive daytime sleepiness, insomnia, or unusual events at night.
A detailed history should include information regarding the clinical course, the degree of impact on the patient, the sleep-wake pattern, the report from the bed partner, dietary and activity changes, medications (including over-the-counter agents), and medical conditions.
Prevalence of sleepiness
Using the Epworth Sleepiness Scale, a widely used, validated subjective measure of daytime sleepiness, Malow and colleagues reported that 28% of 158 adult epilepsy patients surveyed had an elevated score (higher than 10 points). Specifically, 44% of subjects reported a moderate or high tendency to fall asleep while watching television and 41% while sitting or reading.32
Daytime sleepiness in the epilepsy patient has a variety of causes, including:
- antiepileptic drugs (AEDs)
- insufficient sleep
- inadequate sleep hygiene
- obstructive sleep apnea
- upper airway resistance syndrome
- restless legs syndrome
- periodic limb movements in sleep disorder
- idiopathic hypersomnia
Patients with epilepsy and physicians often believe that AEDs are the cause of sleepiness. An Italian multicenter survey of 509 patients taking AEDs reported that somnolence was the most common complaint, experienced by 51 patients (10%).33However, 48 of these 51 patients were taking phenobarbital or primidone, usually in combination with at least one other AED.
It is important to consider other causes before attributing sleepiness to AEDs alone. Unrecognized nocturnal seizures, frequent sleep disruption caused by interictal epileptic discharges, and arousals from sleep are other important causes of sleepiness in the epilepsy patient, and treatment with increased doses of AEDs may improve sleepiness. Video-EEG polysomnography may be useful in evaluating such patients.34
Symptoms of drowsiness in a patient taking AEDs may also result from a coexisting sleep disorder. In a study of predictors of sleepiness in epilepsy patients, symptoms of obstructive sleep apnea or restless legs syndrome were more significant predictors of elevated scores on the Epworth Sleepiness Scale than the number or type of AEDs, seizure frequency, epilepsy syndrome, or the presence of sleep-related seizures.32
Although subjective sleepiness is a common side effect of AEDs, a wide variety of sleep disorders also occur in patients with epilepsy, including obstructive sleep apnea, restless legs syndrome, periodic limb movements in sleep, narcolepsy, andidiopathic hypersomnia. Treating these sleep disorders may improve not only daytime sleepiness and quality of life, but also seizure control. A dose-limiting effect of AEDs is sedation, but with the improvement of a coexisting sleep disorder, the physician may be able to control the seizure disorder with increased medication dosage.
In addition, seizure control may improve even without increasing AED doses. Several case series of coexisting sleep apnea and epilepsy have described improvement in seizure frequency with treatment of sleep apnea.60–63 The mechanisms whereby treatment of a sleep disorder improves a seizure disorder are unknown. Resolution of chronic sleep deprivation, improvement in cerebral hypoxemia, and reduction in arousals from sleep have been postulated.
In patients with coexisting restless legs syndrome or periodic limb movements of sleep, choosing an AED that treats the coexisting sleep disorder may be useful. Such choices include gabapentin and clonazepam. Clonazepam is also useful in treating REM sleep behavior disorder in association with seizures.
When epilepsy coexists with a sleep disorder known to cause excessive daytime sleepiness (e.g., narcolepsy) or when AEDs are the suspected cause of daytime sleepiness, removing sedating AEDs from a patient’s regimen may be helpful. Such agents include barbiturates and benzodiazepines. Some newer AEDs may be less likely to cause sedation than older AEDs. In one double-blind comparison study, carbamazepine and lamotrigine were equally effective in controlling seizures, but sleepiness was significantly less common in patients taking lamotrigine.64
Another approach is to prescribe AEDs that tend to produce insomnia to patients troubled by daytime sleepiness. Although felbamate use has been limited by its adverse hematologic and hepatic effects, it is potentially useful for patients with extreme daytime sleepiness. In one study, 9 of 10 epilepsy patients with hypersomnolence treated with felbamate had a marked and sustained improvement in daytime wakefulness and alertness.65
Other measures for reducing daytime sleepiness in the epilepsy patient include simplifying the AED regimen to avoid polytherapy, prescribing AEDs so that the largest dose is given at night, and using extended-release preparations.
