It appears that the idea of a lavender marriage—a marriage of convenience between two partners to hide the sexual orientation of one or both of such individuals—has been around since the 20th century. The main, if not only, cause of the rationale is social shame. The lavender marriage serves as the basis for Badhaai Do. A member of a conventional middle-class family, Shardul Thakur (Rajkummar Rao) gets elevated to the upper caste due to the innate privilege he possesses. He is a bodybuilder-aspiring man who was forced into becoming a police officer in search of that coveted, safe government position that nobody would want to give up. According to cultural norms, he is the epitome of what it means to be a man: a police officer, a tall, muscular guy with prominence in society. He is gay, save for a minor wrinkle.
Elsewhere Sumi, played by Bhumi Pednekar, is a PT instructor who was compelled to wed a man who was not compatible with her sexual orientation as a result of a prior romance gone wrong. Unexpectedly, her fiance passed away just a few weeks before their wedding. She longs to date the lady of her choice, adopt a kid, and become a mother, but is unable to do so because of legal complications and societal norms.
Until Shardul Thakur approaches her and asks her to take part in this marriage of convenience so that their family would stop bothering them about marriage (clearly straight) and they could live their lives in secret. Life, unfortunately, has other ideas.
Badhaai Do has every reason to develop into the typical North Indian social concern film. It would be naive to claim that the movie is a total subversion of the genre, but it succeeds in telling a full story while putting an emphasis on natural character development rather than serving as a vehicle for a social message, which is something that the majority of these message-driven films do not manage to do.
With the help of his co-writers, director Harshvardhan Kulkarni creates a tale that explores the effects of the “lavender marriage,” lying, sneaking about, and countless other devices used to avoid and deal with cultural and familial obligations. Sumi seeks to break free of these expectations, which have become crutches for her freedom of living, while Shardul struggles to escape the inherent privilege he seems more bound to than Sumi by the established conventions of the family unit. The main appeal of Badhaai Do is its cast of characters. The main subject of the film is their sexuality, but it doesn’t downplay any of their weaknesses. They are also prone to perplexity when making decisions and acting awkwardly when they should be forceful. They also struggle with cheating, seduction, heartbreak, and the need for freedom. These individuals’ innately imperfect humanity emerges in fleeting moments.
By emphasising these small details, Kulkarni elevates this film above the average material produced by the Hindi Film Industry. The meeting between Shardul and Sumi to discuss their impending nuptials occurs at a park that is manned by police officers to deter incest. Sumi was experiencing a sense of surprise, bafflement, and annoyance as she was hearing Shardul’s marriage proposal, particularly because she couldn’t believe she was here before she knew Shardul’s sexual orientation. She changes her tone and offers Shardul a bottle of water as she notices him perspiring and attempting to charm one of the guards who had seen them in the act. This straightforward deed demonstrates a sense of kinship, which gradually develops as the film goes on. Even though they frequently argue and struggle to cope with Shardul’s family’s oppressive demeanour, their friendship is increasingly appealing to witness. When Sumi moves in with her partner Rimjhim (Chum Darang), Shardul’s awareness and acceptance of differences in the public and private places of his life reach a breaking point. Credits go to the Badhaai writers Make sure that Shardul doesn’t close the film by combining both facets of his life into a single whole because the truth is very different. We observe Shardul unable to talk until, in the third act, he comes out to his family and runs to the terrace to call for Sumi. Shardul is so accustomed to living in the closet that the act of leaving it crushes him while also setting him free, a reaction echoed by his mother, who is performed to perfection by Sheeba Chaddha. Incapable of navigating her life following the death of her husband and accustomed to being put down in the face of considerably more powerful members of her joint family, the lady eventually embraces her son, realising the agony of living in silence and letting her emotions out.
Rajkummar Rao’s Shardul Thakur is unquestionably one of the more memorable Hindi film industry protagonists we have seen in a while, even in a genre dominated by parts portrayed by Ayushmann Khurana. The scene in which Shardul dons the mask to join in solidarity with the Pride Parade while remaining outside of the parade as an officer of the law is a highlight of acting in an already outstanding performance. He is vain, awkward, funny, privileged, and yet sensitive and vulnerable when he wants to be. While Gulshan Devaiah steals the show in a humorous and charming appearance, Bhumi Pednekar matches him stride for stride. The performances cover up the flaws of the film, which is a little bit too long and where the humour falls flat in crucial scenes. Even if their archetypal definitions were excellent, the remainder of the supporting characters isn’t as fully defined as I would have hoped. The songs were far more effective, while adding to the runtime’s length. Despite these shortcomings, the small details add up to a much richer experience overall.
The release of Badhaai Do coincided with that of Gehraiyaan, the latter of which generated a great deal of controversy and discussion while the former was almost completely ignored. It’s unfortunate since Badhaai Do does a much better job of delicately and successfully establishing LGBT romance in mainstream Hindi film culture than Shubh Mangal Saavdhaan ever did.
Harshavardhan Kulkarni is the director of the 2022 Indian romantic comedy movie Badhaai Do.

You may or may not have heard of the acronym “GMO”, standing for “Genetically Modified Organism(s)” – but whether or not you knew what the term stood for, there have been many developments to the research and overall understanding of the concept of GMOs and what it means to our food supply, environment, sustainability, and most importantly – short and long-term health effects.
Many times when I speak to individuals, they may have heard of the term GMO used in news headlines or denoted on food products, claiming if something is “GMO-Free,” but often, I am asked, “So does it really matter if something is a GMO? Why would it be allowed to be used in our food supply if it was not safe?!” Especially with recent legislative movements occurring across the nation with states like Alaska, Arizona, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Hawaii, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Missouri, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Tennessee, Vermont, Washington, and West Virginia submitting bills to be passed to allow for some form of GMO limitation and/or labelling requirement (California’s bill failed by a margin last year), the issue is becoming more and more popular and people want to know more about lies behind the “GMO curtain.” [To see a complete list of states and current legislative efforts focused around GMOs, please see: http://www.centerforfoodsafety.org/issues/976/ge-food-labeling/state-labeling-initiatives#%5D
In all honesty, I could write a novel with all of the heated debates and extremely controversial issues surrounding GMOs – but that is not my purpose for this article, as I simply want to highlight some key features to what GMOs are, what individuals should be concerned about regarding them, and what you can do/look out for concerning GMO issues – from detecting them in foods (even freshly grown produce!) to becoming involved with legislation and movements on a local and national level. I certainly have developed my own opinion regarding GMOs, and it’s not a favorable one, but that has been after years of tracking scientifically-based research that has studied the sourcing of GMO development and what the health and environmental effects have been and can be in the future. While I always support individuals forming their own opinions and following a course of action based on educated understanding, my goal is to help shed some basic knowledge about GMOs and what they mean to the health of the world and its people.
I recall when I was in high school filling out college applications, tapping into my love of science and thinking that I thought it would be so cool to go into genetic engineering so I could conduct experiments on plants and “revolutionize the food supply for the world.” At the time, with my limited knowledge of what this whole proverbial jigsaw puzzle of organics, healthy eating, and sustainability, etc. meant, I was basing my fascination off of articles and “studies” I had read in publications that were ultimately funded and sourced by powerful agribusiness and agrichemical companies (i.e. Monsanto, Cargill, etc. that are the bane of existence for many people around the world today). Through researching and learning more bit by bit, I was able to piece things together to have a clearer picture and understanding of what GMO meant. From something that sounded so cutting-edge and progressive almost two decades ago, my opinion (and those of many other individuals) has completely shifted in the opposite direction (and has even led to sheer anger that our food supply and the innocent natural state of food, agriculture, and the environment, coupled with some government corruption and lobbying, could have been tainted so much all in the essence of profit and power). Has it ever raised an eyebrow to how rates of food allergies, sensitivities, and digestive disorders like Celiac Sprue Disease, Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), Acid Reflux, and rates of digestive organ cancers have been on a dangerous rise over the past 20 years? While there are critics who will vehemently argue that GMOs have nothing to do with the correlation, millions of people think otherwise and are demanding answers and action, if anything, simply to know and have the choice of being aware of what’s in the food they select and pay for.
Breaking It Down: What Is a GMO? (As stated directly from The Non-GMO Project, The Non GMO Shopping Guide and Stronger Together Co-op)
A GMO is a plant or animal that has been genetically altered by scientists to improve its ability to grow in non-native environments, resist pests, tolerate extreme weather conditions, produce more food (like milk in cows), or show other desired traits. In other words, a GMO is a new version of a food plant or animal created by scientists through genetic engineering (GE) techniques. These experimental combinations of genes from different species cannot occur in nature or in traditional cross-breeding.
These techniques are used to insert genes into or delete genes out of plant or animal DNA. Scientists have used GE technology to create plants, animals, and bacteria with biological characteristics that would never occur in the natural world—such as a tomato with an anti-freeze fish gene designed to resist cold temperatures, or corn plants with a bacterial gene that tolerates increased herbicide use.
Genetic engineering differs from what’s known as traditional breeding, which includes techniques such as hybridization and selective breeding. One hybrid plant is the boysenberry, a cross between a raspberry, blackberry, and sometimes loganberry. Examples of selective breeding include mating only the healthiest beef cattle or saving the seeds of only the tastiest, most pest-resistant carrots for next year’s crop. These traditional breeding techniques have been a central part of agriculture for 10,000 years and have been used to domesticate and increase yields of virtually every plant and animal used in agriculture today.
Virtually all commercial GMOs are engineered to withstand direct application of herbicide and/or to produce an insecticide. Despite biotech industry promises, none of the GMO traits currently on the market offer increased yield, drought tolerance, enhanced nutrition, or any other consumer benefit.
Meanwhile, a growing body of evidence connects GMOs with health problems, environmental damage and violation of farmers’ and consumers’ rights.
The first genetically modified crops were corn, soybeans, and cotton, which were engineered to control the growth of weeds and resist insects. Since corn and soy are two of the most common ingredients in processed food, these genetically modified ingredients are now appearing in more and more places on our market shelves. But because there’s no regulated food label that indicates whether a product contains GMOs, it’s hard to tell what you’re getting.
Are GMOs safe?
Most developed nations do not consider GMOs to be safe. In more than 60 countries around the world, including Australia, Japan, and all of the countries in the European Union, there are significant restrictions or outright bans on the production and sale of GMOs. In the U.S., the government has approved GMOs based on studies conducted by the same corporations that created them and profit from their sale. Increasingly, Americans are taking matters into their own hands and choosing to opt out of the GMO experiment.
Many consumers are wary of eating genetically engineered products and are concerned that genetically engineered foods are a step in the wrong direction. Basic laws of nature prevent plants from breeding with fish or bacteria, so we have little experience or history with these kinds of combinations. The process of creating GMOs is highly unpredictable and untested; it’s assumed that if the original food was safe, the genetically modified version will be too. As a result, new allergens may be introduced into common foods, and long-term effects of eating GMOs remain unclear.
And it’s not just direct consumption of GMO food that causes concern. The most common use of GE technology in agriculture creates herbicide-resistant plants that allow farmers to use more chemicals without killing the crop. The result has been a substantial increase in the use of herbicides and the rise of approximately 15 herbicide-resistant weeds in the United States. Different or more chemicals are then needed to combat these weeds, leading to what’s called an “herbicide treadmill.“ When one chemical stops working, another is used until it stops working, and then another. For many, this is a major environmental concern.
The threat of GMO contamination of crops is equally unsettling to organic farmers. In nature, plants naturally distribute their pollen near and far, which spreads their genes from one plant to another. In this way, GMO plant pollen can contaminate organic plants. As a result, many organic farmers fear for their livelihood and their ability to fill consumers’ desire for organic products.
Hasn’t research shown GM foods to be safe?
No. The only feeding study done with humans showed that GMOs survived inside the stomach of the people eating GMO food. No follow-up studies were done.
Various feeding studies in animals have resulted in potentially pre-cancerous cell growth, damaged immune systems, smaller brains, livers, and testicles, partial atrophy or increased density of the liver, odd shaped cell nuclei and other unexplained anomalies, false pregnancies and higher death rates.
The American Academy of Environmental Medicine (AAEM)* recently released its position paper on Genetically Modified foods stating that “GM foods pose a serious health risk” and calling for a moratorium on GM foods.
Citing several animal studies, the AAEM concludes “there is more than a casual association between GM foods and adverse health effects” and that “GM foods pose a serious health risk in the areas of toxicology, allergy and immune function, reproductive health, and metabolic, physiologic and genetic health.”**
The AAEM further called for a moratorium on GM food, with implementation of immediate long-term safety testing and labeling of GM food. They recommended that Physicians to educate their patients, the medical community and the public to avoid GM foods and to consider the role of GM foods in their patients’ disease processes. The AAEM is just one of many organizations worldwide calling for these steps to be taken.
Are GMOs labeled?
“Unfortunately, even though polls consistently show that a significant majority of Americans want to know if the food they’re purchasing contains GMOs, the powerful biotech lobby has succeeded in keeping this information from the public. In the absence of mandatory labeling, the Non-GMO Project was created to give consumers the informed choice they deserve.”
Do Americans want non-GMO foods and supplements?
“Polls consistently show that a significant majority of North Americans would like to be able to tell if the food they’re purchasing contains GMOs (a 2012 Mellman Group poll found that 91% of American consumers wanted GMOs labeled). And, according to a recent CBS/New York Times poll, 53% of consumers said they would not buy food that has been genetically modified. The Non-GMO Project’s seal for verified products will, for the first time, give the public an opportunity to make an informed choice when it comes to GMOs.”
How common are GMOs?
“In the U.S., GMOs are in as much as 80% of conventional processed food.”
What are the impacts of GMOs on the environment?
“Over 80% of all GMOs grown worldwide are engineered for herbicide tolerance. As a result, use of toxic herbicides like Roundup has increased 15 times since GMOs were introduced. GMO crops are also responsible for the emergence of “super weeds” and “super bugs:’ which can only be killed with ever more toxic poisons like 2,4-D (a major ingredient in Agent Orange). GMOs are a direct extension of chemical agriculture, and are developed and sold by the world’s biggest chemical companies. The long-term impacts of GMOs are unknown, and once released into the environment these novel organisms cannot be recalled.”
How do GMOs affect farmers?
“Because GMOs are novel life forms, biotechnology companies have been able to obtain patents with which to restrict their use. As a result, the companies that make GMOs now have the power to sue farmers whose fields are contaminated with GMOs, even when it is the result of inevitable drift from neighboring fields. GMOs therefore pose a serious threat to farmer sovereignty and to the national food security of any country where they are grown, including the United States.”
Based on the science behind GMOs and the grave concern they pose to our health, the health of our food supply and environment, it’s no surprise why more and more people want to avoid GMOs as much as possible, if not altogether (this is another reason why eating organic is beneficial, as all certified organic foods ban any GMO ingredient). Many individuals are signing petitions against GMOs and also signing petitions in support of GMO labelling. If this is an issue that concerns you, it takes a few seconds to do your part in voicing your concern. Check out:
Here are a few things to consider when wanting to avoid GMOs (SOURCE: Stronger Together Co-op):
Agricultural products are segmented into two groups: (1) those that are high-risk of being GMO because they are currently in commercial production, and (2) those that have a monitored risk because suspected or known incidents of contamination have occurred and/or the crops have genetically modified relatives in commercial production with which cross-pollination (and consequently contamination) is possible. For more information on the Non-GMO Project’s testing and verification of risk ingredients and processed foods, please see the Non-GMO Project Standard.
High-Risk Crops (in commercial production; ingredients derived from these must be tested every time prior to use in Non-GMO Project Verified products (as of December 2011):
• Alfalfa (first planting 2011)
• Canola (approx. 90% of U.S. crop)
• Corn (approx. 88% of U.S. crop in 2011)
• Cotton (approx. 90% of U.S. crop in 2011)
• Papaya (most of Hawaiian crop; approximately 988 acres)
• Soy (approx. 94% of U.S. crop in 2011)
• Sugar Beets (approx. 95% of U.S. crop in 2010)
• Zucchini and Yellow Summer Squash (approx. 25,000 acres)
ALSO high-risk: animal products (milk, meat, eggs, honey, etc.) because of contamination in feed.
Monitored Crops (those for which suspected or known incidents of contamination have occurred, and those crops which have genetically modified relatives in commercial production with which cross-pollination is possible; we test regularly to assess risk, and move to “High-Risk” category for ongoing testing if we see contamination):
• Beta vulgaris (e.g., chard, table beets)
• Brassica napa (e.g., rutabaga, Siberian kale)
• Brassica rapa (e.g., bok choy, mizuna, Chinese cabbage, turnip, rapini, tatsoi)
• Curcubita (acorn squash, delicata squash, patty pan)
Common Ingredients Derived from GMO Risk Crops
Amino Acids, Aspartame, Ascorbic Acid, Sodium Ascorbate, Vitamin C, Citric Acid, Sodium Citrate, Ethanol, Flavorings (“natural” and “artificial”), High-Fructose Corn Syrup, Hydrolyzed Vegetable Protein, Lactic Acid, Maltodextrins, Molasses, Monosodium Glutamate, Sucrose, Textured Vegetable Protein (TVP), Xanthan Gum, Vitamins, Yeast Products.
You may also be wondering about…
• Tomatoes: In 1994, genetically modified Flavr Savr tomatoes became the first commercially produced GMOs. They were brought out of production just a few years later, in 1997, due to problems with flavor and ability to hold up in shipping. There are no genetically engineered tomatoes in commercial production, and tomatoes are considered “low-risk” by the Non-GMO Project Standard.
• Potatoes: Genetically modified NewLeaf potatoes were introduced by Monsanto in 1996. Due to consumer rejection by several fast-food chains and chip makers, the product was never successful and was discontinued in the spring of 2001. There are no genetically engineered potatoes in commercial production, and potatoes are considered “low-risk” by the Non-GMO Project Standard.
• Salmon: A company called AquaBounty is currently petitioning the FDA to approve its genetically engineered variety of salmon, which has met with fierce consumer resistance. Find out more here.
• Pigs: A genetically engineered variety of pig, called Enviropig was developed by scientists at the University of Guelph, with research starting in 1995 and government approval sought beginning in 2009. In 2012 the University announced an end to the Enviropig program, and the pigs themselves were euthanized in June 2012.

Back in February, Chris Young turned to social media to share a demo snippet of an unreleased song, “Rescue Me.” Now, thank to the response from fans, he’s sharing the official version of the song just one day after announcing his next album.
“Rescue Me” will take listeners back to love songs of Chris’ like “I’m Comin’ Over” and “Gettin’ You Home (The Black Dress Song).” Heady and romantic, “Rescue Me” tells the story of a couple who take turns playing hero to each other.
“I think ‘Rescue Me’ is such a cool twist on the typical love song concept,” Chris reflects. “People were already falling in love with it just based off short social teases. It’s something special and I’m proud to have helped write it and produce it alongside Mark Holman.”
The song’s other co-writers are Matthew McGinn, Josh Hoge and Christian Davis Stalnecker. Chris had a hand in writing 13 of the album’s 14 tracks, and served as producer or co-producer for every song on the project.
Famous Friends is due out August 6, though fans have already heard multiple tracks on the project.

Me and my group are talking about starting up a crusade starting in July, so I want to get a head start on what rules and stuff well use. Figure mostly the crusade rules, but switch to points. Have the one RP thing go to 100 points, few other adjustments maybe. Have one game a week, keeping track of wins. have games escalate to next level after a month. The league decides match ups for a single elimination bracket. Probably make a google sheet for everyone to keep track of their units and experience. Then have everyone put like 30 bucks into the pot keep everyone honest and involved. Winner gets a combat patrol, second place a squad, third a character. Any pitfalls or crazy stuff I should watch out for?
I was also kicking around doing a killteam component to it to emphasize the ongoing war and experience. Maybe a small bonus on the weekly game. Something useful or just adding extra work for not alot?

A couple of weeks back, Samsung released the May 2023 security update for the Galaxy S20 FE in select European countries. The company is now pushing the new security patch to the device globally, also covering the 5G model. The latest SMR (Security Maintenance Release) is also available for the Galaxy A34 5G in some regions.
The May SMR was first released for the 4G version of the Galaxy S20 FE in Russia. Samsung gradually expanded the rollout to more countries in the region. In recent days, the new security patch has reached the phone pretty much everywhere. For 4G models, the new firmware build number is G780GXXU4EWD2 or G780FXXUBFWD2 depending on your region and model number.
The same update for the Galaxy S20 FE 5G, meanwhile, comes with build numbers G781USQSAHWD4 (US carrier-locked version), G7810ZHS4HWE1 (Hong Kong and China version), and G781BXXS5HWD4 (global version). Samsung appears to be pushing some system optimizations along with the latest security fixes to the phone in select markets. But there aren’t any new features to look forward to here.
As far as the security fixes are concerned, Samsung’s monthly security bulletin has already revealed that the May SMR patches more than 70 issues. Around 20 of those are Galaxy-specific issues and aren’t found in Android products from other brands. The remaining patches concern flaws found in Android OS and other partner components. These patches come direct from the vendor of the respective component. At least six vulnerabilities patched this month were critical.
The Galaxy A34 5G is also getting the May security update
The aforementioned vulnerability patches are also rolling out to the Galaxy A34 5G. The newly-launched mid-range smartphone is picking up the May SMR widely in Europe, Asia, and Africa. The update in the former region comes with the build number A346BXXU2AWE2, while that in the latter two regions is A346EXXU2AWE2. Samsung should soon cover units in Latin America as well. The Galaxy A34 5G didn’t arrive in the US, at least not yet.
Along with the latest security fixes, the Galaxy A34 5G may also be getting Samsung’s Image Clipper feature. The official changelog doesn’t explicitly name this addition, but says the update brings improvements to “Camera and Gallery functions”. That’s precisely what the changelogs for updates containing Image Clipper for other devices mentioned. This feature lets you quickly crop out objects from images when viewing them in Samsung’s Gallery app. You can crop out objects by pressing and holding onto them for a few seconds.
The post Galaxy S20 FE, S20 FE 5G & A34 5G getting May update globally appeared first on Android Headlines.

Representation theory - Theorists
Transcript of Representation theory - Theorists
Levi Strauss - 1958
Laura Mulvey - 1975
Laura Mulvey's theory on feminism includes 'The Male Glaze' meaning men look at women for their own
pleasure,otherwise known as 'Voyerisum'.
There are three things included in the theory:
1) How men look at women
2)How women look at themselves
3) How women look at other women
John Berger's - 1972
Ways Of seeing
Berger also believes in 'Voyerism' as he looked at the way men and women are culturally represented and how different 'gazes' show different ways in which they are looked at. He states that 'men act women appear' - men look at women and women watch themselves being looked at. Women are usually posed for pleasure.
Tessa Perkins- 1979
Richard Dyer - 1983
The representation theory states that everything has got a representation behind it and media texts represent themselves to society and an audience in terms of ideology. Everything has ideology behind it and how we interpret the media is on our own basis.
How I will use these theories.
These theories all contain elements that give me an insight into how existing media products are created in terms of representation, binary opposites, stereotypes and voyerism and how they are successful and effective. I will use some aspects of these theories when creating my own music video as I agree with all of the theories yet may chose to challenge them also. Binary opposites is particularly a theory that I fully support as it is existing and is visible when watching media products.
Levi Strauss said that in the media we have binary opposites, for example: black and white, good and evil, and it is our understanding of these binary opposites that help us to understand a narrative before it has even begun. Having Binary Opposites enables climax within the narrative. According to Levi Strauss the concept of binary opposites in used frequently as it works on the basis of our understanding of a story, it is a conventional narrative and enables equilibrium, It also links heavily with our ideological values - our understanding and beliefs.
However some media products challenges the stereotypes of binary opposites and have the expected 'baddy' as a 'goody' for example in Lady Gaga's video Judas and Harry Potter.
The Male Glaze includes:
-Emphasizing on the curves of the female body,
-Referring to women as objects
-Women display themselves how they should be perceived
-Female viewers view the content through the males eyes.
The "ideal" spectator is always assumed to be male and the images of the women are designed to flatter him.
Jib Fowles supports Berger's theory by stating - "in advertising males gaze and females are gazed at", implying that they believe in the media that is what women are their for.
Perkins states that stereotyping is not simply a process and contains a number of assumptions that can be challenged.
5 such assumptions:
-not always negative
-They are not always about minority groups or
the less powerful
-They can be held about one's own group
-They are not rigid or unchanging
-Not always false.
The theory states that as society changes it is harder for stereotypes to change as they stick in society. Not all stereotypes are bad, not all are good and we categorize ourselves.
'How we are seen determines how we are treated, how we treat others is based on how we see them. How we see them comes from representation'.
Everybody can interpret a given representation in a different way and these representation are often illustrated within the mise-en-scene and the narrative.

By Ruth Pollard
Beirut: A joint US-Turkey plan to create an Islamic State-free strip of Syrian territory along its border with Turkey looks set to go ahead, although details on the so-called "safe zone" remain sketchy as the two countries worked to finalise the agreement.
It comes as NATO ambassadors prepared for an extraordinary emergency session requested by Turkey to discuss the serious security threats posed by the extremist Islamic State group.
US discussions with Turkey centred on a 110-kilometre strip of territory that was still under the control of Islamic State militants, the US State Department spokesman John Kirby told a news conference in Washington.
He was quick to stress that the US has ruled out the imposition of a "no-fly" zone to protect the area from Syrian government air strikes, despite repeated requests from Turkey for such a move.
The idea of the buffer zone was to "establish an ISIL-free zone and ensure greater security and stability along Turkey's border with Syria", Mr Kirby said.
However, there is already deep concern in some circles, particularly from Kurdish groups, that Turkey's recent entry into the US-led coalition against IS provides a convenient cover for it to carry out attacks against its long-time enemy: the PKK and its allies.
They question whether Turkey's recent campaign of air strikes against IS in Syria and Kurdish positions in Iraqi Kurdistan were aimed more at limiting the Kurds' newly won territory in north-eastern Syria than fighting IS.
The YPG, or People's Protection Units, have proved to be one of the most effective forces against IS, providing vital ground troop support for the US-led coalition air strikes against IS militants in Syria. They won the Syrian border town of Kobane from IS and went on to secure another strategic Syrian border town, Tel Abyad, last month, cutting off a key IS supply route for weapons and fighters and expanding the territory under Kurdish control inside Syria.
"It is not clear yet if or how that ISIS-free zone is going to materialise, how it would be protected or what it would be used for," said Cale Salih, a visiting fellow at the European Council on Foreign Relations.
"There is a lot of fear amongst Kurds that Turkey will use that kind of zone to target the PYD or at least to restrict it in terms of the PYD's quest for more territory that would link Afrin and Kobane, which is one of their main strategic goals in Syria."
The PYD, or Democratic Union Party, along with the YPG is an affiliate of the PKK or Kurdistan Workers Party, which waged a decades-long armed struggle against Turkey. But, Ms Salih points out, the PKK has a new mission in Syria which has very little to do with resistance against Turkey.
"It is really about establishing an economy in northern Syria, it is about linking the two cantons, fighting jihadists, and that is a real opportunity for the peace process and a chance for the PKK to move away from this identity that it has had for so long which is about resistance in Turkey."
After holding out for almost a year, Turkey entered into an agreement with the US on Friday that will allow US war planes to launch air strikes from Turkey's Incirlik Air Base. Soon after Turkey began bombing IS targets in Syria and on Saturday it also began attacking on Kurdish targets in northern Iraq.
"A lot of people are quite alarmed that Turkey has gone after ISIS and the PKK at the same time because it invites retaliation from both inside Turkey," Ms Salih warned.
"That could seriously destabilise south-eastern Turkey … and present a genuine national security threat for Turkey in terms of ISIS."
NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg, who was due to chair Tuesday's extraordinary closed-door session, expressed solidarity with Turkey after "recent heinous terrorist attacks", but cautioned against abandoning its peace process with the Kurds.
For years "there has been progress to try to find a peaceful political solution", he told Norwegian state broadcaster NRK. "It is important not to renounce that ... because force will never solve the conflict in the long term."
Syriac-Assyrian Christians in Syria also urged NATO to refrain from allowing Turkey to launch attacks against Kurdish positions in Syria.

Superman: Action Comics #1018 – Brian Michael Bendis, Writer; John Romita Jr., Penciller; Klaus Janson, Inker; Brad Anderson, Colorist
Ray – 8.5/10
Ray: Following the chain of events in Bendis books can often be tricky, because he’s fond of non-narrative plots and jumping around. That’s definitely the case with Action Comics #1018, which takes place around the events in its sister title in Year of the Villain, and also incorporates several flashbacks. The framing device is a massive battle in Shuster Park with the Legion of Doom, and along the way Bendis catches up with several of his originals.
We finally get the origin of Red Cloud, as we see Robinson Goode as a reporter for a low-level paper who gets a little too close to something horrible going on in STAR Labs. When some corrupt scientists try to kill her, she winds up transformed – with bizarre results that she takes to a lot more easily than most would. I’m still not sure about her as a villain overall, but this is a decent origin story that gives her a better motivation and explains her willingness to turn her back on the law after what was done to her.
I thought the catch-up with Fire chief Melody Moore was stronger. She’s been mostly MIA since the first arc, investigating the arsons, but here she gets a major role as one of Clark’s confidantes. I always thought she was a great character, but I wish we had gotten to see more of her to make Clark’s decision to trust her with his secret pre-reveal fit more. The decision to have her run for Mayor to replace the corrupt incumbent makes me think Bendis is building her up to have a bigger role, and I think it’ll be interesting to have Superman finally have his Jim Gordon – the “Work friend” who works on the official side of the law.
The battle segments by John Romita Jr. looked great, but also didn’t add too much to the story. I don’t think the return of Leviathan, teaming up with the Legion of Doom, really excites me because I don’t think this wild-card of an espionage villain is likely to team up with world-destroying maniacs. The quiet moments are where this issue is best.

Skip to comments.Was OKC Bomber Timothy McVeigh Working for the FBI?
Posted on 04/18/2007 11:46:31 PM PDT by Verax
In a 19-page affidavit filed in U.S. District Court in Salt Lake City, convicted Oklahoma City bombing conspirator Terry Lynn Nichols alleges that the bombing plot was actually under the supervision of top FBI officials. According to a February 21 report in Salt Lake City's Deseret News, the Nichols affidavit charges that Timothy McVeigh, who was executed for his role in the bombing, was actually working under Larry Potts, the controversial FBI official who was forced to resign under a cloud for his roles in two other major FBI scandals: the deadly FBI assaults on Ruby Ridge in 1992 and Waco in 1993. Terry Nichols is not a terribly credible witness: he's a mass murderer and he lied consistently through the OKC investigation, but his claims should not be dismissed outright.
As the assistant director in charge of criminal investigations at FBI headquarters, Larry Potts was the Washington-based manager of the 1992 operation against the Randy Weaver family near Ruby Ridge in remote northern Idaho. In that incredible and tragic operation, Randy Weaver's wife Vicki was shot in the head and killed by an FBI sniper, while holding her infant child. The Weavers' 14-year-old son Sammy was also killed, shot in the back by federal agents. Larry Potts was the FBI official who approved the illegal "license to kill" order that resulted in those deaths.
The FBI's infamous assault on the Branch Davidian church complex near Waco, Texas, left more than 80 people dead, including 22 children. Potts, again, played a key role, both in authorizing the use of deadly force against innocent civilians, and, later, in the campaign of lies and coverups aimed at thwarting congressional investigations into the deadly fiasco.
Larry Potts was also the FBI's man charged with overall supervisory responsibility for the Oklahoma City bombing investigation in 1995. Together with Attorney General Janet Reno, FBI Director Louis Freeh, and Bob Ricks, the special agent in charge of the FBI's Oklahoma City office, Potts helped misdirect the OKC investigation, purposely steering investigators away from individuals who should have been considered top suspects as McVeigh's co-conspirators in the bombing plot.
One of the primary suspects who benefited from this misdirection was Andreas Strassmeir, a German national who was in the United States illegally and was serving as chief of security at the white separatist compound known as "Elohim City," in rural eastern Oklahoma. McVeigh's phone records show he called the compound on the same day that he called the Ryder truck agency to rent the vehicle used for the truck bomb.
According to the FBI's own documents, the witness at Elohim City who took the call said McVeigh was calling for Strassmeir. Elohim City was well-known as a hangout and hideout for the notorious Aryan Republican Army bank robbers, several of whom have turned out to be federal informants or agents provocateur.
Rather than arresting and questioning Strassmeir, the FBI allowed him to wander freely for eight months and then slip into Mexico before fleeing back to Germany. Andreas Strassmeir and McVeigh's connections to Elohim City have been subject of numerous reports in The New American's extensive and ongoing investigation into the Oklahoma City bombing. (See, for example, "Elohim, Terror, and Truth " and "Undercover: The Howe Revelations ." The latter title refers to Carol Howe, an ATF informant who provided federal agents prior knowledge of the Oklahoma City bombing.)
After Louis Freeh promoted Potts to be his top assistant, he was forced to demote and suspend him when congressional and Justice Department investigations revealed Potts' illegal activities in the Ruby Ridge and Waco operations. Was Potts "running" Strassmeir, McVeigh, and other OKC bombing suspects who were listed in the original federal indictment as "others unknown"? The answer to that question may be revealed when other sealed FBI documents on Elohim City, McVeigh, and Strassmeir are released.
I have come up with a new word for this chit (it’s a real word,look it up)...........CLINTON CLOROX.......
..it always seems it happens,it’s known....and it disappears Clinton Clorox:White Out in gallon dispensers.
And the goverment has alien families that crashed on earth while abducting cows ans sucking out their brains living in secret bases in area 51. The government already has spaceships built that can zip to other gallaxies an mere hours, and have already started colonizing several planets in several galaxies... /s
“...he’s a mass murderer and he lied consistently through the OKC investigation, but his claims should not be dismissed outright.”
Yes they should be.
There are many serious and unexplained issues in this case.
But if McVeigh was an FBI agent, would not he have come out with that rather than face execution in silence?
My own take on this is that there has been a huge coverup, and he had motives and connections that the public has no idea of.
“They’re in it with the aliens.
They’re building landing strips for gay Martians...”
This whole thing stinks of Clinton coverup. I don’t think that the fertilizer bomb brought down that building. There was something else going on, perhaps an FBI sting that went haywire—but there were probably some serious demolition charges on support beams as well as the blast from the front.
Do you actually believe that the President was working with FBI’s Larry Potts in the Ruby Ridge massacre?
William F. Jasper aka Rossie O’donnel
a cover up is not lightin the fuse........Whatever stupid lie Clinton was forced to tell to cover his ass, what he did publically after is horrendous.He blamed America, specifically talk radio and MORE specifically, Rush Limbaugh by name. This was middle east terrorism and Clinton said..............hell no , not on my watch.
This story has been around for a loooong time.
I was asking about Ruby Ridge, not OKC.
sorry had back to back responses...that said no the prez and Potts were on two different planets. But no one is ever without range or consequence w/ a Clinton justice dept.
Rubbish. This is just as inane as the claims that the World Trade Center was brought down by explosives.
Half-educated conspiracy theorists on both the Left and the Right will sometimes make this kind of baseless accusation, and compare it to Nazi Germany and the Reichstag fire. Of course, the Reichstag fire required nothing more than one guy with a gallon of gas and a book of matches.
To bring down a modern multi-storey building requires tons of explosives, miles of det cord, much drilling and cutting, weeks of preparation, and a large number of co-conspirators. Beyond doubt, this did not take place either in Oklahoma City or at the WTC.
What did Clinton have to do with the massacre at Ruby Ridge?
"One former senior member of the DOJ put it in strong terms. He laid blame at the feet of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Forearms. I know Strassmeir was central to this crime and I believe Carol Howe, the informant, was dead right. She warned the ATF and they blew this whole thing. They knew the details of what was in the works and they messed everything up. "
"Howe knew who McVeigh was. She heard his name at the camp many times. "
"Howe told the Gazette, All Andy wanted to do was blow up federal buildings. Thats the truth. He even told the young radicals he was training that, if they wouldnt go to war with the U.S. government, he would leave and find a group that would.
Speaking of Elohim City spiritual advisor and founder, Robert Millar, Howe told the Gazette: Millar even gave a sermon and urged the younger members under Andys training to prepare for war with the government. He told them other militias would follow suit. The key date was the upcoming anniversary of Waco: April 19th.
"Howes work was terminated though, shortly after she made her report public about the big secret at Elohim City."
According to documents in Howes ATF file, the FBI then contacted the informants supervisors and told them to close their investigation into Elohim City and completely back off."
hell son , I’m the one drinkin here........go re-read what I wrote.Both posts say Clinton did not join or direct Potts anything....Clinton reacted (different than involved
} in OKC and reacted was not involved in Ruby or Waco.........
Yes, the then Governor or Arkansas had little control over the events at Ruby Ridge.

The FDF has strongly criticised an “irresponsible” report by The Lancet this week calling for a clampdown on leading food and drink suppliers’ interactions with government.
The wide-reaching academic paper – entitled The Global Syndemic of Obesity, Undernutrition, and Climate Change – argues that ‘partnerships between the corporate food sector and the government are a risk to public health’.
As such, it recommends a reduction in ‘the influence of large commercial interests in the public policy development process to enable governments to implement policies in the public interest to benefit the health of current and future generations, the environment, and the planet’.
The writers do acknowledge that ‘most food businesses are small-sized and medium-sized enterprises’, and that many public–private partnerships have been created between governments and suppliers for positive ends, including development of food and drinks low in salt, sugar and fat, and environmental protection.
However, they go on to warn that ‘the large food corporations and their industry–interest associations have a dominant political role, and they are explicitly driven by a fiduciary duty to prioritise financial returns to investors. The greatest returns come from large-scale, ultra-processed products marketed around the globe.’
The Lancet report therefore suggests the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control as a global model for tackling ‘the negative health and environmental effects of the food system’.
The association of tobacco with food was “deeply irresponsible”, claimed FDF chief operating officer Tim Rycroft. “Food and drink are essential to sustain life, while even the smallest dose of tobacco is harmful to health.”
Rycroft stressed the food and drink industry’s record of “working alongside government, making positive changes to the nation’s diet, for over ten years. It is widely acknowledged that obesity rates in the UK are too high, but that can’t change without the active partnership of industry.
“Only those with the most extreme of viewpoints could believe that denying our industry a seat at the policymaking table would help to improve UK diets and nutrition.”
Nestlé, the world’s biggest food and drink company, expressed its support for The Lancet paper for recognising “the increasing connection between health and sustainability”.
The company’s head of sustainability for UK & Ireland Anna Turrell said: “Sustainable food production and consumption must be at the heart of how we function as a society, and industry must play a central role in enabling this.
“While we agree that there is a lot of work ahead of us to bring about the change that is needed, we are making progress.”

Satellite -- A satellite is an object that orbits another object.

In other words: gravitational force serves as the centripetal force needed to make the object circle the primary...

Over the last week, Shasta County Health and Human Services Agency officials have offered a clear message to the public: they are beginning to explore a limited re-opening of Shasta County. Unfortunately, they’ve said, until California’s Governor Newsom re-opens the State, Shasta County’s options remain limited.
“The State Health Officer’s order is in effect,” Donnell Ewert, head of the Shasta County Health and Human Services, said during Wednesday’s press briefing, “And we can’t do less than the State Health Officer has mandated.”
(Meaning that Shasta County, no matter how low our numbers, can’t sidestep State stay-at-home orders.)
Nevertheless, Shasta County is being impressively proactive as local leaders look forward to eventual freedom for all of Shasta County to work and play unsheltered. They’re developing a “Roadmap to Recovery Advisory Committee”, comprised of local government, business, education, faith and community leaders. The committee will work with the public health department and the Emergency Management Team to develop strategies to safely re-open the local economy.
“Right now we are in Phase 1,” Shasta County’s health official, Dr. Karen Ramstrom said. She went on to explain that when we move to Phase 2, — which will include allowing non-essential businesses to re-open — things will still be far from normal. “We will be in Phase 2 for the foreseeable future,” she added, stating that this phase likely won’t end until a vaccine is developed, perhaps in 12-18 months.
While Shasta County pends modification to the State of California shelter-in-place orders, President Trump has released a series of tweets which seem to indicate that he feels some governors are holding their citizens hostage by requiring them to shelter. Cue the stand-off between state and national powers. Trump’s plan for reopening, “Guidelines for Opening Up American Again” offers gating criteria to be used before beginning three phases of re-opening of local economies.
Specific, measurable criteria to determine when regions should re-open? Genius.
Unfortunately, these symptomatic criteria appear difficult to monitor, as they require documenting a downward trajectory of not only influenza-related-illnesses (ILI) but covid-like syndromic cases, something I have not yet seen data for in Shasta County, or at the state level.
A spokesperson from Shasta County’s Health and Human Services Agency, responding to me via FaceBook message, said that while Shasta County does track ILI, they don’t track covid-like syndromic cases. They report their ILI cases to the federal government. And although they don’t have ILI data available on a web site, they are happy to provide specific numbers to those who ask.
California’s Department of Public Health (CDPH) also tracks ILI. Most recent data on the CDPH web site is from the week of March 14th. There is no mention on that site of “covid-like syndromic case” tracking.
But the data is being followed. The CDC’s National Syndromic Surveillance Program web page is dedicated to ILI and covid-like syndromic case tracking by region. California is grouped with four other states/territories including Arizona, Guam, Hawaii and Nevada, with 135 hospitals reporting, so at least some regions of California must be tracking and reporting covid-like syndromic cases.
Still, if Trump’s gating criteria includes metrics that neither our state nor our local region seem to track, how will we enter his “Phased Comeback” allowing us to fully reopen America?
There’s more to say about Trumps plan, but let’s take a contrasting look at what California is proposing: “California’s Road Map to Modify the Stay at Home Order.” ‘Let’s not worry about totally reopening California’, the title seems to say, ‘We’d just like to see progress.’
Newsom’s plan outlines six indicators for modifying the stay-at-home order, each with key questions attached. And while the ideas outlined seem both common sense and comprehensive, the lack of ability to accurately determine when anything is actually occurring also seems to be a problem.
Unlike Trump’s clear (if difficult to track) gateway criteria (“14 day downward trajectory in ILI” for example), Newsom’s plan contains mostly questions with no real metrics by which to determine success. Take for example, the first indicator, which contains the key question “how prepared is our state to test everyone who is symptomatic?”
Yes, that’s exactly what we’ve all been wondering.
But asking the question isn’t really a plan, and it isn’t enough to bring us closer to modifying our shelter-in-place. And reading further through the plan raises other similar questions.
All this is indicative of a simple, and unsurprising truth, at both the state and national levels, and even across partisan divides: Our leaders haven’t yet figured out clear metrics that will allow them to decide when states or regions are ready to re-open.
So, even as Shasta County celebrates multiple days without a positive COVID-19 test, it’s unclear how much longer the pandemic may keep our local, state and national economies closed. (Update: One new case was diagnosed.)
As Donnell Ewert, head of Shasta County Health and Human Services Agency, said during Wednesday’s meeting, “We need to manage expectations.”

Sindh Allots Land to Provide Housing to Govt Employees
Karachi: In an effort to alleviate the housing problem, the Sindh government has allocated 139 acres of land to construct houses for the government employees of Grades 1 to 22, according to news reports on March 1.
The allocation of land to the Sindh Civil Servants Housing Foundation at Deh Joreji in the Malir District was authorised by the Sindh Cabinet, according to the specifics. It was stated that the government is concentrating on alleviating the issues faced by the employees owing to a shortage of accommodations with this move.

Queenslanders are being urged to check if they could be owed a piece of a $52 million pie, with a new campaign to send unclaimed rent bond money to its rightful home.
The state government's Residential Tenancies Agency said it was holding more than 114,000 rental bonds, averaging $454.99 apiece.
Just under half were over $300.

"While it's hard to imagine forgetting to claim a rental bond, ending a tenancy can be a busy time for all involved," RTA CEO Jennifer Smith said.
"Our oldest outstanding bond payment dates back to 1990, so if you've forgotten to claim your rental bond, regardless of how long it's been, this campaign is your reminder to check in with us."
The largest bond held by the RTA is $25,796.09.
Customers can now submit an online enquiry via the RTA website to check their records and reconnect with any forgotten bond monies.
Brisbane is the local government area with the most unclaimed bonds, at 39,991.
That's followed by the Gold Coast with 15,440, and Moreton Bay with 6330.
"In most cases, when a tenancy ends, the RTA will issue a bond refund to relevant parties to the bank account details provided," Smith said.
"Sometimes these refunds are not successful, due to missing or incorrect customer details."

CORAL SPRINGS, Fla. - MacKenzie Weegar said he was caught off guard a bit when he saw his name next to Aaron Ekblad's on the lineup sheet heading into last Friday's game in Buffalo.
Despite being seated only a couple stalls apart in the locker room, he hadn't worked too much with Ekblad on the ice. Over his first two seasons in the league, the duo was deployed together in games very sparingly, sharing the ice for less than 150 minutes since the 2017-18 campaign.
Still, Weegar said that he and Ekblad were excited at the prospect of their new pairing.
"We were both a little shocked and made a couple jokes," Weegar, cracking a smile, said when asked about the roster change following Wednesday's practice at the Panthers IceDen. "But that's what [the coaches] wanted. We went to work and did what we had to do together."
Just a few games in, that hard work is already generating good results.
Coming together at the start of a three-game road trip Friday in Buffalo, Weegar and Ekblad found chemistry almost immediately. Helping the Panthers pick up four out of a possible six points in the standings, they combined for one goal and four assists throughout the journey.
"It's been good so far," Ekblad said of the pairing. "We're just trying to take care of business. Obviously we want to play defense first, but with [Weegar's] ability and his shot, and stuff like that, we're both trying to get pucks to the net and create some chances in the offensive zone."
Making an impact in all three zones, the duo also did a great job of helping push possession in Florida's favor whenever they were on the ice. During the 51:04 they spent together at 5-on-5 during the three-game trek, the Panthers outshot (32-15) and outscored (4-2) the opposition.
That ability to move the puck up and down the ice has caught Joel Quenneville's attention.
"I really like the way they move together," the Panthers head coach said. "As far as coming out of their own end together, they're transporting the puck and making a lot of direct plays. I think their activity, not just on entries, but in the offensive zone, their movement on the point, shot selection. I think they're really helping sustain our cycle game as well.
"Defensively, their gaps have been tight. They've been good through the neutral zone defending. In our own end, they've been good reading plays and killing plays, and activating off what they're doing in that area. They've been really effective in playing some big minutes and big assignments. They're getting it done."
In Monday afternoon's 6-4 win in New Jersey that closed out the trip, the unit was dominant. Ekblad had a pair of assists and skated a game-high 25:30, while Weegar scored the game-tying goal and had the primary assist on Noel Acciari's game-winning goal in the third period.
When asked about the give-and-take relationship between defensive partners, Ekblad said he's already taken a few elements from Weegar's game and begun implementing them into his own.
"He's so patient with the puck. It's fun to watch," Ekblad said. "I try and incorporate that into my game whenever I can and try and create some nice stability for our unit. I let him do what he does best, which is make head-fakes, skate with the puck and move with the puck."
Likewise, Weegar has also been learning from Ekblad.
"He moves the puck well," Weegar said. "He can make plays on his own. I don't really have to worry about him turning the puck over. He's a great player. It's fun watching him play. He's been positive with me and telling me to make plays, too. We've just been working off each other."
Looking ahead, the defensive duo plans to continue making the most out of this new opportunity.
"We've known each other for a long time now," Weegar said. "We both never thought we'd end up playing together, but here we are. We're just enjoying it."
No one saw more ice time than Ekblad on the team's recent road trip.
As of this morning, the 23-year-old blueliner's 25:24 of ice time per game currently ranks sixth in the league and is almost two minutes more than the career-high 23:39 he averaged in 2018-19.
"In the last couple years playing against top lines has been different, it's been tough," Ekblad said of his increasing responsibility. "It's something to prepare for every single night, playing against some of the best players in the world. I'd like to see that keep continuing to grow. As a player, I think I'm getting better at handling it. I think the new coaching staff is doing a great job."
Ekblad has skated more than 25 minutes in four out of the last five games, including a season-high 28:44 during Saturday's shootout loss on Long Island and 27:04 on Friday night in Buffalo.
"That was tough, there's no doubt about it," Ekblad said, pointing to the game against the Islanders. "Once the end of overtime is coming there and you're playing two-minute shifts against some pretty good players on the Island there, it was tough. In terms of managing that, it's trying to keep good gaps, trying to be calm and cool in the defensive zone and short shifts."
After playing three games in four nights - including a pair of shootouts - Ekblad said that having a few extra days off before hosting the undefeated Colorado Avalanche on Friday will be "huge."
"Big off day yesterday," he said. "We try to take advantages of those the best we can."
SNOW DAY IN SUNRISE
The Panthers will have a chance to push their point streak to four games against Colorado.
Playing tonight in Pittsburgh, the Avalanche currently stand as the only undefeated team left in the league at 5-0-0. The main reason for that hot stat has been their offense, which is currently scoring the 4.40 goals per game - the second-ranked offense in the league behind Nashville.
Preparing to defend BB&T Center, Quenneville said he's looking to the challenge ahead.
"We should expect to be fresh," he said. "They play tonight, and they're off to the best start in the game. It should be a good test for us Friday."

“We had a great weekend at the lake house! The owner of the house was hospitable, helpful and friendly! The place is just magical. There is everything for life and even more. Sergey met us, placed us, showed everything, the house, the territory — and it is huge! You will feel completely secluded, if necessary, as the home of the owners is in the distance. Beautiful pier on the lake, forest behind the fence. There is a store nearby. For children there is a large playground, hammocks. We spent the perfect weekend with our family. We will definitely come again! Thanks to Sergey and his family for the hospitality.”
“Nice house with all amenities. 1. The mistress of the house very quickly answered messages, upon arrival she met and showed everything. 2. Good large parking for several cars (given the fact that one car we had was a truck). 3. The house is located in a separate fenced area. The area is not far from the highway, but passing cars are almost inaudible. 4. On the territory there is a gazebo with a table, benches and barbecue. Barbecue facilities (skewers, grill for meat and grill for fish) are in the house. 5. Within walking distance from the house there are two lakes. Two minutes to go, but we didn’t really like the lake, a poor approach to the water and entry into the lake itself. To the second lake, walk in calm steps15 minutes. The lake is large, there are many entrances to the water, there is a place where to sunbathe, marinas for boats, benches. I really liked the second lake, I recommend to immediately go to it. 6. The village has developed infrastructure. Many different shops, pharmacies, etc. everywhere there is a bank transfer. 7. Taxi. You can also take a taxi around the village. Anywhere 100 rubles, which is very convenient. 8. House. The house has three beds and two rooms. Double in one and a single + sofa (which is decomposed) in the second. The four of us were very comfortable. The bedding was made up, in each room there were heaters, plus a fan in one room. The kitchen has all the necessary equipment, a large table with benches, an electric stove, a refrigerator. Towels were provided for each guest, plus hand bath and kitchen. Combined bathroom. The house has a water heater, so there is both cold and hot water. We went to the hockey tournament in Igor, the location of the house, we were very pleased, the road to Igora takes 15 minutes by car. We really liked the house, I recommend it to everyone! Photos are true.”
