Vehicle suspensions are comprised of many components which must interact with each other in a number of ways to control vehicle movement. Each one of these components represents a potential failure point, and all are vital to the vehicle's proper handling and safe operation. However, you don't necessarily need to know how every part of the suspension works to troubleshoot it; specific failures have specific symptoms, so all you really need to know are the symptoms to determine what needs to be repaired.
Drive on a straight and perfectly flat (preferably freshly paved) stretch of road and accelerate up to 60 MPH. Note whether or not the car pulls to one side or the other or whether the wheel randomly shimmies back and forth. A pull to one side could indicate uneven tire pressure, uneven wear on tires, bad alignment (due to normal wear, broken or missing components or shims), worn steering tie rod ends or a stuck brake caliper. Wheel shimmy could indicate uneven tire pressure or wear, a bent or out of balance wheel, a damaged tire, worn steering components or poor alignment.
Accelerate on a bumpy road from 5, 10 then 20 miles per hour. A car that regularly bottoms out or bounces hard enough to make you feel light in the seat is "porpoising." This indicates worn out or blown shocks although bottoming out can specifically indicate worn out or damaged springs.
Find a car park where you can get your car up to about 45 MPH, turn it in a 200-foot circle and execute a few quick left-right-left transitions at speed.
Drive the car around in the 200-foot circle at 45 MPH. If the car seems to lean excessively, you more than likely have worn out springs or a worn out anti-roll (sway) bar. If the wheel shimmies or seems to tremble as you turn, then you should either check the power steering fluid level, power steering pump or power steering rack. If your car cannot maintain the circling in a smooth way, check for worn suspension bushings and broken or bent control arms or tie rod ends.
Perform several quick left-right-left transitions at 45 MPH. If you hear a clunking in the suspension, you need to check the ball joints and control arms where they connect to the chassis. If the body of the car seems to pitch excessively during the transition, then you need to check the shock absorbers on the side the car is leaning towards. If the car's handling feels sloppy and loose overall, then check the steering components and rubber bushings for excess wear.

The Asia-Pacific defense market is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of over 4% during the forecast period.
- The economic growth, territorial disputes, and military modernization plan to replace aging defense equipment has propelled the growth in defense spending of the countries over the last decade and reached to USD 506.9 billion in 2018.
- There is a rise in terrorist activities in countries like Afghanistan, Pakistan, India, and the Philippines, among others over the past few years. This has led to an increase in anti-terrorism funds to fight against terrorism, externally, and internally. This is acting as another significant driver to support the growth of the defense market in the Asia-Pacific region.
- The technological development has led to the purchase of new and advanced defense equipment like C4ISR systems, smart weapons, unmanned systems, missile defense systems, etc.
- Various government initiatives to support the indigenous manufacturing of arms and ammunition in countries like China, India, and Japan among others are bolstering the growth of local companies.
Key Market Trends
The Air Force Segment Recorded the Highest Market Share in 2019
Air Force segment currently has the highest market share in the Asia-Pacific defense market. The countries are heavily investing in procurement of new aircraft, UAVs and required training and simulation, missiles and ammunition. This rapid procurement is to strengthen air superiority and modernize their military equipment. With territorial issues and political issues acting as a major driver to the market, the demand for UAVs and patrol aircraft is increasing for intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance missions. Countries, like New Zealand, the Philippines, South Korea, Thailand, and India, have placed orders for new maritime patrol aircraft during the past few years. In 2019, the Indian Navy had received eight Boeing P-8I Neptune aircraft out of 12 ordered aircraft. Another four aircraft will be delivered in 2020. Also, India is in plans to purchase about 600 drones to boost surveillance capability along the borders of Pakistan and China. In addition to developing their ISR capabilities, the countries boosting their attack capabilities. Japan previously planned to acquire 42 F-35A models. However, in December 2018, Japan announced its plans to procure approximately 150 F-35 stealth fighter jets from the United States as part of Japan’s new defense plan. In October 2019, The United States State Department approved foreign military sale to Japan for the upgradation of 98 F-15J aircraft to a Japanese Super Interceptor (JSI) configuration for an estimated cost of USD 4 billion. Similarly, HAL, the state-owned defense aircraft manufacturer of India is currently developing a fifth-generation fighter aircraft under Advanced Medium Combat Aircraft (AMCA) program. The first flight of a full-scale prototype is expected to be scheduled in 2032. The countries in the region are also increasing their inventories of air-to-air missiles and air-to-ground missiles. In March 2019, Australia received AIM-120C-7 Advanced Medium-Range Air-to-Air Missiles (AMRAAM) and related equipment for an estimated cost of USD 240.5 million from Unites States. The development and procurement of advanced radars and communication equipment along with the air-to-air and air-to-surface missiles is anticipated to generate demand significantly during the forecast period.
China to Dominate the Asia-Pacific Defense Market
China currently has the highest market share in the Asia-Pacific defense market. The country is next to the United States in military spending and has increased its spending significantly until 2018. In 2018, it has increased its spending by approximately 9.7% compared to 2017 and reached USD 250 billion. In early 2019, the government announced the defense budget of CNY 1.19 trillion (USD 177.61 billion), with an increase of 7.5% compared to the previous year's budget allocation. This rising military investment is to gain upper hand in various political and border disputes like South China Sea tension with several sovereign states within the region, border issues with India and ultimately prevailing tensions between the US and China. In 2017, the government announced its plan to complete the modernization of its armed forces by 2035 and to build a world-class military that can counter any type of threat against the country by 2050. To achieve this goal, the country has been continuously expanding its indigenous manufacturing capabilities over the years. It has successfully launched its first domestically manufactured aircraft carrier in April 2018, with two more aircraft carriers in construction. The country’s state-owned enterprise Chengdu Aerospace Corporation developed and commissioned Chengdu J-20 the stealth fifth-generation fighter aircraft in March 2017. The country is leading in the development of combat drones with custom-built weapon systems. With advancements in technology and growing in-house capabilities, it is anticipated to support the growth of Chinese defense market in the forecast period. However, the on-going China-US trade war and slow economic growth of the country are anticipated to hamper the growth of the country in the coming years.
The Asia-Pacific defense is a highly fragmented market with many suppliers who provide various types of equipment like training systems, C4ISR systems, smart weapons, unmanned systems, missile defense systems, etc. Some of the prominent players in the market are Lockheed Martin Corporation, The Boeing Company, Aviation Industry Corporation of China, Rostec, BAE Systems. The majority of the arms and ammunition are imported from the US and Russia and some smaller countries import from China. However, the indigenous manufacturing of arms and ammunition in countries like China, India, and Japan among others is picking up pace, which is anticipated to support the local manufacturing companies’ growth in the region. Aviation Industry Corporation of China, China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation, and China Shipbuilding Industry Corporation are some of the major state-owned defense companies of China, which play a major role in the China defense market. Also, through the Make in India initiative, the Indian government aims to procure 70% of requirements from domestic firms, up from the current 40%. Such initiatives are anticipated to support domestic players. In June 2017, under Make in India initiative Lockheed Martin and Tata Advanced Systems signed an agreement to produce F-16 Block 70 aircraft in India. Nevertheless, the brand value of the international players may act as a barrier for domestic players to expand into new geographic presence.

The ProSonix I Series offers a unique design that allows the ability to size the steam injector and the liquid flow path independently.
The steam injection portion is size based on the required steam demand of the process. The liquid flow path is sized based on the liquid flowrate, the customer pipe size to match process piping, and any important fluid characteristics.
For example, a 4” steam injector can be paired with a 4”, 6”, 8”, etc. liquid injector. By fitting in the process piping like a pipe spool, this greatly reduces installation costs and provides more flexibility for the piping required for the application.

The annual gathering of the clergy of the United Dioceses of Cork, Cloyne and Ross at Ballylickey, near Bantry, County Cork, took place from Monday, 15th October to Wednesday, 17th October.
The visiting speaker this year, the latest in a long line of distinguished speakers at Ballylickey, was the Leader of the Corrymeela Community, Pádraig Ó Tuama. Originally from Carrigaline, County Cork, Pádraig Ó Tuama is a poet and theologian based in Belfast. Since 2014 he has been the leader of the Corrymeela Community, Ireland’s oldest peace and reconciliation witness dedicated to transforming conflict through human encounter. His interests encompass poetry, religion, conflict and storytelling.
At Ballylickey this year, for the clergy of Cork, Cloyne and Ross, he took the theme of ‘Borders and Belonging in the Biblical Witness.’ His addresses were engaging, inspiring, thought-provoking and motivating. Rooted in familiar bible characters, there was a strong contemporary feel to the four talks, which were:
- ‘Ruth, the border crosser’
- ‘Tamar, the tamer of the Lion of Judah’
- ‘Jesus and Gentiles: an exploration of friendship.’
- ‘Jesus in the wilderness: loneliness and leadership.’

San Diego County’s hotel investment sales trends checked back into historical reality in 2012, following a 2011 series of high-profile trophy acquisitions that pushed local deal volume for that year well above $1 billion.
“The past year was more of a normal year than 2011,” said Alan Reay, president of hotel brokerage and consulting firm Atlas Hospitality Group.
According to Atlas, the San Diego region in 2012 posted 28 hotel property sales with a total value of $590.2 million, amounting to $67,500 per room.
That was down from the 42 properties sold in 2011 for a total topping $1.8 billion, or $84,491 per room. The caveat is that 2011 saw some of the region’s largest hotels change hands, primarily in the first half, led by the Manchester Grand Hyatt San Diego ($570 million) and Hilton San Diego Bayfront Hotel ($475 million).
Still in the Top 20
Reay said the San Diego region ranked third in the nation for 2011 hotel deals, behind New York and Los Angeles, and likely ranked much further down the list of major U.S. markets in 2012, though still in the top 20.
For 2013, Reay estimates that local transactions will improve on last year’s performance, reaching $700 million to $750 million. Sales volume will likely be helped by the region’s strong hotel fundamentals, combined with an active pool of investors aided by low-rate financing.
A range of potential buyers nationwide is scouting hotels, including real estate investment trusts, institutional investors, and others backed with private equity. Financing rates for well-capitalized buyers are still hovering around a historically low 4 percent in the hotel market, Reay said.
Investors in China and other Asian markets have recently shown heightened interest in coastal markets, adding to a bidding environment where prices on properties will likely be rising, he said.
Research firm STR, previously known as Smith Travel Research, recently reported that U.S. hotel investment-sales volume in 2012 dropped 35 percent from the prior year, to $12.5 billion. Factors included a slowdown in buying by the large real estate investment trusts that dominated transactions in 2011.
For the coming year, STR expects investments nationally to be helped by a climate where the hotel industry improved its performance on most major metrics in the past 12 months. Revenue per available room (RevPar) rose 6.6 percent, average daily rates were up 4.3 percent, and occupancy increased 2.5 percent, to 61.3 percent.
The San Diego region generally tracked ahead of national trends, with RevPar up 8.8 percent, daily rates up 5.2 percent, and occupancy up 3.5 percent year-over-year through the end of November. The local region’s total hotel room revenue was also up 8.9 percent, compared with 7.2 percent for the national market.
Local properties sold during 2012 included downtown’s Westin San Diego ($122.8 million), Courtyard Mission Valley San Diego ($90 million), L’Auberge Del Mar Resort & Spa ($76.9 million) and Marriott San Diego Del Mar ($66 million)..
Properties known to be currently up for sale include Hilton Garden Inn Carlsbad Beach, downtown’s Sheraton Suites San Diego, and Borrego Springs Resort and Country Club.

Oak Hill Estates residents frustrated by roads
It’s a fight that’s been going on since 2012 and most likely will continue until the gravel meets the road.
Residents of Oak Hill Estates met with the Brookhaven Board of Aldermen again Monday in a work session to discuss the ownership of the roads in their subdivision.
They met already on the same issue Dec. 15 but this time around Oak Hill Homeowners Association President Kevin Laird came armed with all 17 other homeowners and more evidence to back up the association’s claim that the city owns the roads and therefore should be responsible for the upkeep.
He asked for a written decision from the city.
All seven aldermen were present for the discussion; however, Ward 6 Alderman David Phillips recused himself for personal reasons because his brother and business partner lives in Oak Hill.
Laird produced a 2012 warranty deed and reminded the board that the association had talked with Ward 4 Alderman Shirley Estes on May 6 of that year about the water, sewage and road maintenance plan relative to annexation. Laird said they also spoke with Alderman-at-Large Karen Sullivan about the issue. Sullivan did not address the statement Monday night.
Laird said the homeowners unanimously agreed that year to move forward with a request to have the Oak Hill Estates developers deed their street to the City of Brookhaven on May 6, 2012. Laird said the warranty deed was recorded as an official document with Lincoln County Chancery Court and the completed warranty deed was also returned to the office of their preparing attorney Ralph L. Peeples on June 8, 2012.
In the previous work session, it was brought out that according to the minutes of 2012, the board never accepted the warranty deed. That confuses the issue more, because Laird said the city paved a third of a mile of the Oak Hill road after June 8, 2012. “They committed they would do this once the roads were deeded over to the city,” Laird said.
Aldermen have said the board didn’t know the roads were private at the time.
The issue began, city attorney Joe Fernald said, when the developers of Oak Hill Estates did not dedicate the roads — Oak Hill Drive and Corner Stone Lane — to the county during the subdivisions construction.
Aldermen at the previous work session told Laird and the homeowners present that for the city to take on ownership now, the roads would have to be up to the city’s standard and three-quarters of the homeowners would have to agree to dedicate the roads.
Determining if the roads are up to standard will require a bore test by an engineering firm, which will be at the association’s expense. If the roads are not up to city standards, the homeowners will have to pay for them to be fixed before the city could take ownership, Fernald said previously.
Homeowner Beck Warren is one of many of the frustrated residents in Oak Hill. He requested a copy of all the 2012 minutes during the meeting.
“This matter was discussed with Mrs. Estes, and Mrs. Sullivan allocated money for this project out of the alderman-at-large money,” he said. “The city was under the county so this notion that the board didn’t know it was private before they came in and spent $30,000 paving the road at Oak Hill continues to be a mystery. We had multiple discussions with that administration and him [then-Mayor Les Bumgarner] about it.”
Warren said Estes has fought for them as much as she could.
“I want to personally apologize to Mrs. Estes for standing up for us the whole time. She’s been singled out as misstepping here but she’s just representing her constituents,” Warren said. “Everything has been in place and we followed her direction and the direction of the previous board. Mr. Fernald should’ve known that they were paving a private road and spending taxpayers’ money. If that happened, then the law has been broken and we have a bigger issue here.
Mayor Joe Cox agreed to send the Oak Hill association a written decision on Jan. 17.

spicy ramen + an egg = heaven! quick service, delicious ramen in your tummy; it's a recipe for happiness! while you're waiting, stop by kahve around the corner for some great coffee :)
Fun place to bring friends and family from out of town! Spicy Totto Ramen was amazing with its freshly made noodles and spicy, peppery broth
Spicy number 2 is very spicy, consider it when you order or just take half of the spices when they bring it to you. Good but not amazing for me
My fave ramen spot! Get the ramen with egg and avocado too! Try the pork bun! Super long lines - so I often come solo - quicker to get in here
Had the spicy ramen with pork and an egg. Nice experience due to the small restaurant. Had a seat at the bar, best place to be seated.
Get the hard boiled egg! It is perfection. Vibe is very different from the original location, much more hipster than mom and pop.
They were playing slipknot, so that's kind of cool I guess. The ramen was good, I'm not sure it lived up to the reputation though.
Get the miso ramen with a side of spicy oil (can split between 2 people), and uni if it's on the menu.
Head their solo and skip the wait. You'll be digging into a bowl of tasty ramen before you know it!
What a treat for Hell's Kitchen .. Healthy serving if your order the mega ramen

COOPERSBURG, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Lutron Electronics is pleased to announce its new Caséta Wireless Smart Bridge supports Apple's HomeKit. The Smart Bridge is part of the Caséta Wireless Lighting Starter Kit, available at the Apple Store® beginning today. With the HomeKit-enabled Smart Bridge, homeowners can now control their Lutron Caséta Wireless dimmers using Siri on their iPhone® or iPad®.
The Caséta Wireless Smart Bridge with HomeKit support allows homeowners to control lights in specific rooms or areas. For example, just before bed, tell Siri “turn the lights off” and the Caséta Wireless Smart Bridge will turn off lights throughout the house. Unsure if the basement light is still on? Ask Siri to check and if so, turn it off.
Lutron launched the Caséta Wireless Smart Bridge and dimmers in 2014 as a quick and easy way to transform the look of a home. This affordable new solution let users control lights from anywhere inside or outside the home (even while on vacation) using a smart device, enhancing home and personal safety and creating peace of mind. Caséta Wireless also controls Lutron Serena® remote-controlled shades and select thermostats, some of the most used items in the home.
“As the global leader in lighting control, Lutron is proud to be among the first to have its HomeKit-enabled product available to homeowners,” said Matt Swatsky, Lutron’s Director of Product Management. “Support for HomeKit expands the convenience of Caséta Wireless, making it easier than ever for people to control their lights.”
Caséta Wireless was designed to simplify a person’s life. Homeowners can dim the lights and lower the shades from the comfort of their couch, or turn select lights on while on the road to make it look like someone's home. Even scheduling lights to turn on automatically is easy. Simply set the Lutron App for a time of day or sunrise/sunset event.
Caséta Wireless can also be set to recognize a user’s location automatically. Through geofencing, lights will automatically be turned on as you approach your home so that you never come home to a dark house.
The Caséta Wireless Lighting Starter Kit, with HomeKit-enabled Smart Bridge, is available for $229.95 at Apple Stores. The kit includes one Caséta Wireless Smart Bridge, two Caséta Wireless dimmers (compatible with dimmable LED, halogen, and incandescent bulbs), two remotes and two pedestals. To add more lights, purchase the Caséta Wireless dimmer/remote kits, also available at Apple Stores, for $59.95.

I won't say much, but would like to draw attention to the last paragraph:
Even when successful, guerrilla struggles often have significant long-term negative structural consequences.... If the guerrillas should finally succeed, the resulting new regime is often more dictatorial than its predecessor due to the centralizing impact of the expanded military forces and the weakening or destruction of the society’s independent groups and institutions during the struggle — bodies that are vital in establishing and maintaining a democratic society.
What is to be done [when faced with dictatorship]? The obvious possibilities
seem useless. Constitutional and legal barriers, judicial decisions,
and public opinion are normally ignored by dictators. Under-
standably, reacting to the brutalities, torture, disappearances, and
killings, people often have concluded that only violence can end a
dictatorship. Angry victims have sometimes organized to fight the
brutal dictators with whatever violent and military capacity they
could muster, despite the odds being against them. These people
have often fought bravely, at great cost in suffering and lives. Their
accomplishments have sometimes been remarkable, but they rarely
have won freedom. Violent rebellions can trigger brutal repression
that frequently leaves the populace more helpless than before.
Whatever the merits of the violent option, however, one point
is clear. By placing confidence in violent means, one has chosen the very
type of struggle with which the oppressors nearly always have superior-
ity. The dictators are equipped to apply violence overwhelmingly.
However long or briefly these democrats can continue, eventually
the harsh military realities usually become inescapable. The dictators
almost always have superiority in military hardware, ammunition,
transportation, and the size of military forces. Despite bravery, the
democrats are (almost always) no match.
When conventional military rebellion is recognized as unrealis-
tic, some dissidents then favor guerrilla warfare. However, guerrilla
warfare rarely, if ever, benefits the oppressed population or ushers in
a democracy. Guerrilla warfare is no obvious solution, particularly
given the very strong tendency toward immense casualties among
one’s own people. The technique is no guarantor against failure,
despite supporting theory and strategic analyses, and sometimes
international backing. Guerrilla struggles often last a very long
time. Civilian populations are often displaced by the ruling gov-
ernment, with immense human suffering and social dislocation.
Even when successful, guerrilla struggles often have signifi-
cant long-term negative structural consequences. Immediately, the
attacked regime becomes more dictatorial as a result of its coun-
termeasures. If the guerrillas should finally succeed, the resulting
new regime is often more dictatorial than its predecessor due to the
centralizing impact of the expanded military forces and the weaken-
ing or destruction of the society’s independent groups and institu-
tions during the struggle — bodies that are vital in establishing and
maintaining a democratic society. Persons hostile to dictatorships
should look for another option.

because people speak English
Guess where am I! I am by the sea which is 10 minutes' walk from grandma's house. Which sea are you at?
The summer holiday is almost over, I have enjoyed a carefree holiday though. I just had my dinner. Right now I am sitting on the beach, barefooted. It rained during the daytime. Now it's windy and cool. When I was going out, grandma stuffed a cluster of grapes into my bag. Hehe, would you like some?
As for grapes, I think of a tale that grandma has told me before——The Weaver Girl and The Cowherd. It's a long but touching love story. The general tale is about a love story between Zhinv (the weaver girl, symbolizing Vega) and Niulang (the cowherd, symbolizing Altair). Their love was not allowed, thus they were banished to opposite sides of the Silver River (symbolizing the Milky Way). Once a year, on the 7th day of the 7th lunar month, a flock of magpies would form a bridge to reunited the lovers for one day. The tale of The Weaver Girl and the Cowherd has been celebrated in the Qixi Festival, or Chinese Valentine's Day, since the Han Dynasty [about 2000 years ago].
Captain, in my opinion, the Qixi Festival is comparably more romantic yet heartrending than Valentine's Day because this is the only time of year when the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl meet each other cross the Milky Way. Although the Cowboy and the Weaver Girl, only once a year opportunity to meet, but I think they are happy and sweet as their deep love brings their life hope. Life with hope is a nice one, do you agree with me, Captain?
I remember grandma said if it rains on Qixi night, those raindrops are their happy tears. And if you sit under a grapevine at deep night, you can hear their whisper. I am not under a grapevine, but I am eating grapes while writting to you.
Oh, it starts raining, I have to stop and go back home. By the way, today is Qixi Festival.

Asian stock indices were up on Thursday (27/06) after economic growth of the United States in Q1-2013 was lower than expected. Paradoxically, this had a positive effect on global stock indices as speculation arose that the disappointing growth rate would convince the Federal Reserve to continue its quantitative easing program. It also had a good affect on Indonesia's main stock index (IHSG), which gained 1.92 percent and ended at 4,675.75. The index was well on its way to close a gap (at 4,743-4,801) but was blocked by mixed European openings.
One interesting note is that foreign investors were net buyers of Indonesian stocks today. For a long time, foreigners sold more stocks than they bought. In contrast, domestic investors were mostly selling their assets today.
The IDR rupiah was slightly up against the US dollar, supported by a stronger Australian dollar (AUD) as market players were positive about Kevin Rudd becoming the new prime minister of Australia, and because of an appreciating Won as South Korea's current account experienced a surplus.| Source: Bank Indonesia
Asian markets were mostly up. Lower than expected economic growth in the United States resulted in positive market sentiments as it may convince the Federal Reserve not to stop its stimulus program soon. In that context, investors were bargain hunting undervalued stocks today. Moreover, investors were less worried about the credit crisis in China after China's central bank reassured the market by providing more liquidity.

The Kite Runner (Theatre Royal, Brighton, until November 18th)
Friendship, family, betrayal and redemption are at the heart of the powerful and unforgettable drama The Kite Runner, adapted from the best-selling novel and now on a national tour.
With its backdrop of massive social, cultural and political change in Afghanistan from the 1970s to the new millennium and the hopes and dreams provided by the story is never going to be less than hard-hitting and Matthew Spangler’s worthy adaptation of Khaled Hosseini’s book captures the familiar news events, including the fall of the monarchy, the Soviet invasion and the rise of the Taliban, blending them with a more intense personal story.
It is as much a heartbreaking analysis of relationships (between fathers and sons, between friends from different ethnic backgrounds) as it is a parable about cowardice, crippling guilt and atonement through sacrifice and repentance. It is not too hard to uncover a play with as much depth and richness as anything by Shakespeare.
Director Giles Croft understands that the play is always going to be at a disadvantage when compared to the novel, which explores so many layers of Afghan life and the complexities and subtleties of what is happening emotionally, so the production is played out on a minimalist set (potent as both dusty Kabul streets and busy Californian city habitat) allowing narrative and characters to drive things along. In the same way as the book, the play recognises that its themes are universal in spite of the specific culture it portrays.
The use of a live musician (Hanif Khan) gives the play an authentic rhythmic heartbeat, with onstage use of the atmospheric whirling schwirrbogen particularly effective in evoking the breezes carrying the fluttering kites central to the story.
Adapter Matthew Spangler (an American playwright, director and academic who studied at the University of Sussex in the 1990s) provides an uncluttered and absorbing script which tells the story simply and at a fast pace, though the way in which the parts of the book are translated onto the stage means the second half can appear over-long.
A likeable and strong cast give intensity to the story of the two childhood friends in Kabul, one the son of a wealthy Pashtun businessman, the other the Hazara son of the family servant, brought together more closely by the sport of kite flying but ripped apart by the shocking act of a bully.
David Ahmad’s Amir, the story’s narrator, manages to turn his cowardly child into a force for good, his love of storytelling very much a part of his key act of redemption, his all-consuming guilt being turned into positive action. It is a demanding role played engagingly, with a genuine sense of a man troubled by a nagging conscience, and it is well balanced by Jo Ben Ayed’s quiet but strong Hassan/Sohrab.
Emilio Doorgasingh is particularly powerful as Amir’s father, Baba, caring but distant, while Bhavin Bhatt’s Assef is a chilling sociopath across the generations. Lovely support too from Karl Seth as the supportive family friend who encourages Amir’s dreams and later entices him home from the US to begin his journey to redemption, and from Ravi Aujla as the formidable father of the girl Amir is to marry.
The play may well stick so closely to the plot of the novel that it loses some of its epic nature and historical dimension of the intimate and intricate central themes, but this doesn’t stop the production being haunting, honest and impressive.

Just back from a week away on a friend's boat travelling down the Caledonian Canal, over to the Isle of Mull, then back down the Sound of Mull and across the Crinan Canal to Tarbert on Loch Fyne.
Had a totally brilliant break, with the exception of the journey from Tobermory to Tarbert in a Force 7 gale. Amazingly, we both managed to keep our breakfast down, but it was a bit scary at times.
I'd always wanted to go to Tobermory so thought I would make that my first upload.
Many thanks for your votes and comments on my last upload and special thanks to Peter (ddolfelin) for your User Award.

Could Narendra Modi learn from Lee Kuan Yew?
I was always an admirer of Harry Lee, as he was known in my younger days. His passing away, though at the ripe old age of 91on 23rd March made me sad still. There are a few people who see the makings of a Lee in our own Prime Minister, more in the form of authoritarianism. There are others, like me, who ask the question whether the 'Singapore strong man' would be a model for Narendra Modi as a visionary administrator. The following are my thoughts on the issue.
With the possible exception of Cuba under Fidel Castro, it's hard to think of another country where one leader left such a firm, almost indelible imprint. But see where both took their countries! One man stuck to an idiotic ideology which refused to produce results. The other had no ideological anchor. “If it works, let’s try it, "If it’s fine, let’s continue it. If it doesn’t work, toss it out, try another one", are words of a man seeking results that would take his people to prosperity and make the once poor malarial port into a prosperous island nation having a seat at the table of great nations!
His view that India was “ not a real country,” but “32 separate nations that happen to be arrayed along the British rail line,” and his scathing criticism of its leadership and bureaucracy that were in his words “feudal” made many see him as anti-India. To call India “a nation of unfulfilled greatness” he must have been very fond of India because we have everything Singapore didn’t have, not even the elementary ingredients of a nation: a homogeneous population, common language, common culture and common destiny, when he took it over.
Closest parallel India had with Singapore was when it could be said about IndiraG’s leadership also “a unique combination of charisma and fear” as was said about Harry Lee; but unfortunately she, like her father earlier was happy about the India she could rule by birthright, just repeating often the banal blather about her family's sacrifices!(in The brown sahib (revisited) Varindra Tarzie Vittachi, Sri Lankan writer says Nehru was found comfortable with the system he inherited from the British though he criticised it!) Lee, if a despot, was a benevolent one.
To remove the temptation for corruption, Lee linked the salaries of ministers, judges and top civil servants to those of leading professionals in the private sector, making them some of the highest-paid government officials in the world. That worked too!
“Between being loved and being feared, I have always believed Machiavelli was right. If nobody is afraid of me, I’m meaningless” Lee said openly, confessing also that “I’m not saying that everything I did was right, but everything I did was for an honourable purpose.” He said he didn’t care about being politically correct; but was always correct. According to him freedom of the news media had to be subordinated to the overriding needs of Singapore, and to the primacy of purpose of an elected government. He was unapologetic about the repressive measures he used to impose order, and unapologetic about believing his prescriptions alone were the right ones. Being politically correct is the most important thing in India, not being correct! India is not a tiny Singapore and a “nanny state” at that, but a dysfunctional democracy of over a billion people and (Lee called India a “Soft State” once!) Modi cannot do anything much about a hostile media, except refusing to feed/fertilize them as he does!
A key strategy of Lee to give people a sense of belonging as stakeholders in society was to provide affordable homes and therefore today home- ownership stands at 90% of Singaporeans. “Citizenship is essentially a question of loyalty,” Lee believed. This is something Modi has to do. Ensure “roti, kapda, and makaan”, band-width too! But loyalty, the scorning of national pride, the decline of patriotism in the public space, multiculturalism and its ethnic separatism, divisive identity politics etc.are territories Lee never had to travel!

Discussion in 'Music to Your Ears' started by Crobbins, Jan 27, 2019.
I've never seen this before so I had to give it a listen. That song never gets old for me. Playing a Telecaster with a Strat neck. Interesting.
Nice, it dragged me down the YT rabbit hole to a whole bunch of Dick Feller songs
Don Meredith was a country music fan who liked the singer songwriter guys. I remember reading (Texas Monthly?) that Don would host listening parties at his house for artists like Jerry Jeff, Willie Nelson etc. Don had a red light that would cue people to be quiet while the artist's were singing.
“There’s a lot of country music that I don’t particularly care for. Let’s put it this way, there’s some country music I care for much more than others. But the thing that has always fascinated me the most is I love to meet guys that are both songwriters, and can sing, and I like guys that are a little bit out of sync. You know, just a little bit out of sync? I hate ordinary.” DM
He had 2 songs that he released as an artist.
Those were the days.
My buddy almost set Jerry Jeff's hat on fire trying to light his cigarette.
The flame from the BIC lighter was set WAY too high!
my two favorite songs by the boy from brooklyn. Saw him several times back in the old days... great video of him so young! Dandy Don was a pretty good actor too... You could always feel that Don had the ache... I dont know how to put it other than that... just the ache.... He and Ben Johnson make me think of Texas and the very best of things....
Can't believe no one didn't post 'Desparados Waiting' For A' Train. Texas Music is alive and well
Man! I could post tunes all day long. I love Ol' Jackie Jack!! I was lucky enough to see him many, many times. The last time was in NYC at at BB Kings about 10 years ago. His son Django was playing guitar with him then. My favorite guitar player with JJW is John Inmon, of course.
If any of you JJW fans haven't seen the DVD "Live From Dixies Bar & Bus Stop", seek it out!
Love this song...
"...……...his dog up and died.....after 20 years he still grieves."
One of the best lines in any song!

80-year-old woman, granddaughter, 2 others arrested with 192kg cocaine, heroin, skuchies in Ondo
Fake police officer nabbed with 76kg skunk in Adamawa
An 80-year-old woman, Mrs. Mary Adebayo, her 19-year-old granddaughter, Funmilola Adebayo and two other ladies have been arrested in Akure, the Ondo state capital by operatives of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, NDLEA, for selling assorted illicit drugs like cocaine, heroin, methamphetamine, tramadol, swinol and skuchies.
Following intelligence-based raids and follow up operations on their locations on Sunday 2d May, 2021, over 192kilogrammes of cocaine and other psychoactive substances were recovered from the suspects while the octogenarian, her granddaughter and two other ladies; Tessy Matthew and Blessing Adesida were arrested.
As a result of the bust, Chairman/Chief Executive of NDLEA, Brig. General Mohamed Buba Marwa (Retd) has directed the acting Commander, Ondo state command of the Agency, Callys Alumona to launch a manhunt for other members
of the drug cartel now on the run.
The grandma and her granddaughter were arrested at 6:30am on Sunday at Ayeyemi Street, Akure south local government area. During the early morning raid, the following were recovered from them: Skuchies- 149kg. cocaine-11grammes, methamphetamine-17grammes, heroin-3grammes, cannabis sativa-4.914kg. swinol -8grammes and tramadol -49grammes.
Also recovered fromthem were two deep freezers and a TVS motorcycle.
On the same date, at about 1:30pm, a raid carried out at Rate Hotel, Care Street, in Akure South LGA led to the arrest of 25-year-old Tessy Mathew from whom 33kilogrammes of skuchies were recovered. Following her preliminary interrogation, a follow up operation was immediately carried out, leading to the arrest of 25-year-old Blessing Adesida in Oshinle area of Akure South LGA.
Recovered from her include: skuchies-3kg and cannabis-7grammes. According to the state s acting Commander of the Agency, Callys Alumona, other members of the two drug cartels have been watch listed and efforts to arrest them ongoing In a related development, operatives of the Adamawa Command of the NDLEA have arrested a 58-year-old Victor Chinedu Anwanya, and 47-year-old Femi Abiodun, with 80 blocks of compressed cannabis sativa weighing 76 kilogrammes, concealed in three white sacks tucked in the booth of a Toyota Avalon car with registration number: LAGOSs DC 997 FST.
According to the state Commander of NDLEA, Idris Bello, the suspects were arrested on Monday 3rd May, 202 at about 6am in Mayo Belwa town, Mayo Belwa LGA, Adamawa State.
“They took off from Auchi in Edo State. Also recovered
from them was a fake Police Warrant Card bearing the name of Chinedu Anwanya with the rank of a DSP, the Commander of Narcotics stated.
Reacting to the development, Gen. Marwa commended officers and men of the Ondo and Adamawa state Commands of the Agency for their vigilance and commitment to work. He charged them and their counterparts in other Commands to continue the nationwide offensive action against the illicit trade.
I recognise and commend the great work our officers and men in Ondo and Adamawa states have done in these operations. However, I still want to encourage them and their counterparts across the country that we must raise the
ante in fighting drug criminalities in Nigeria. We must now go beyond seizures and arrests, and dismantle the cartels because there are cartels behind each of the drugs, be it cocaine, heroin, tramadol or cannabis, there are cartels behind each of these drugs and we must identify them and rein them in, that is the next phase of this war as we continue with our maxim of offensive action, Marwa charged.
Senator Mrs Uche Ekwunife Fulfils her promise of giving Business Grant to 1000 beneficiaries (See beneficiaries)
EKWUNIFE FACILITATES BUSINESS GRANTS FOR 1000 BENEFICIARIES
Over 1000 beneficiaries have been credited in another batch of intervention funds cash transfers facilitated by the Senator representing Anambra Central Senatorial District, Uche Ekwunife as part of her continuous efforts to empower the people of the constituency and assist them in their businesses.
The cash transfers began to drop on the bank accounts of the beneficiaries who had applied at the constituency office on Friday, June 18, 2021. We therefore use this opportunity to urge constituents who had applied for intervention funds from the office to always check their phones regularly for acceptance messages, and subsequently expect the receipt of funds. Those who have taken delivery of the funds should report to the office for documentation and further assistance.
Constituents are at liberty to visit the Intervention Funds and Benefits Department of the Liaison Office, located at Senator Uche Ekwunife Centre, Opposite Udoka Housing Estate Awka to provide details which would assist the office in facilitating the various Federal Government’s intervention funds/benefits for them.
Senator Ekwunife’s resolve to ameliorate the sufferings of the people by offering a representation that is visible, impactful and purposeful remains unflinching. More beneficiaries are expected to be captured in the ongoing programme in the coming weeks.

Boko Haram Gets New Commanders
Nigeria’s Boko Haram jihadist group has confirmed the death of its chief Abubakar Shekau, who sources say died during infighting with a rival Islamic State-allied faction, according to a video message from its presumed new commander.
In the short video in Arabic, top Boko Haram commander Bakura Modu, also known as Sahaba, urged his faction’s commanders to remain loyal despite the loss of their historic commander.
Shekau’s death was seen a major shift in Nigeria’s conflict, though Islamic State in West Africa Province or ISWAP has recently emerged as the dominant force in the more than decade-long Islamist insurgency in the country’s northeast.
The video, provided to AFP by a source close to Boko Haram and confirmed to be Bakura Modu by another local source, illustrates that jihadist infighting is far from over in Africa’s most populous nation.
Shekau, who gained notoriety after kidnapping nearly 300 schoolgirls in 2014, killed himself last month rather than surrender after IS-allied rivals attacked his base camp in Nigeria’s northeast Borno state, security sources said.
President Buhari Gives Mikel Obi Juicy Appointment
President Muhammadu Buhari’s led administration has appointed former Super Eagles captain, John Mikel Obi, as Youth Ambassador.
This was confirmed on Friday, at an event held at the National Stadium, Lagos, which was attended by the Minister of Youth and Sports Development, Sunday Dare.
According to the Special Adviser to Dare on Media, John Joshua-Akanji, Mikel Obi was described by the Minister as a “role model whose lasting legacies in football development has continued to have a positive impact on youths in the country.”
Mikel Obi was assured of Federal Government support whenever he chooses to invest in the country.
“Time will not permit me to say much about Mikel’s success as a footballer. He is our legend and a role model who has continued to impact the lives of youth positively.
“It is it my pleasure to appoint you as Nigeria Youth Ambassador. It’s a new portfolio and your role as youth ambassador will be made known to Nigerians,” Dare said.
In his response, Mikel Obi said: “I feel highly honoured to be appointed as Youth Ambassador of this country, it is a great feeling.
“I am happy with this partnership and I promise to do my best to encourage and inspire the youths towards national development, not just in football but in other sports like Basketball, Boxing among others.”

Thinking on it a bit more, I suppose that using radioactive isotopes to generate power would somewhat defeat the purpose. The idea is to monitor the radioactive waste until it becomes less dangerous. If you use a radioactive isotope to make your electricity, it will only be good while it hasn't decayed away, maybe a few half-lives. But at that point, it will still be dangerous itself! Plutonium-238 for instance may be able to supply electricity for 150 years, but it is dangerous for thousands of years.

LAHORE “” Clerics refused to lead the funeral prayer of an alleged blasphemer, Abdul Sattar Gopang alias Tari, terming it a “great sin”.
Gopang was stabbed to death outside the Muzaffargarh district court where he was to attend the hearing of a blasphemy case against him. He was being escorted by a police team when he was attacked by two assailants “” Muhammad Imran Waheed, a student of B.Sc., and Muhammad Iqbal Khan, a vendor. The police latter arrested both the accused. However, Gopang’s family hired a religious seminary teacher to perform his funeral rites. Only 35 people of Gopang’s family attended the funeral. A large police contingent was deployed in the area to deal with any untoward incident.
The Tehrike Khatme Nabuwat has offered its full support for the accused and praised them for their action. “We will provide full financial and legal support to Waheed and Khan. We are proud of them for accomplishing this noble task,” said a spokesman of the Tehrike Khatme Nabuwat, Maulana Muhammad Siddique. The accused were shifted to Muzaffargarh District Jail. DPO Muzaffargarh Rai Tahir has suspended Inspector Fida Hussain and City Police Station SHO Jam Muhammad Saleem for negligence of duty.

Another belated pre-London vacation post, this time featuring a dress turned skirt DIY item. It was originally from Stradivarius, it is really old (bought like 7 years ago?) and since I turned it from a dress into a skirt shortly after purchasing it. I think I wore it as a dress only once as maxi dresses aren’t really my thing. While I like them on others, they very rarely feel like my style. (Currently in my dress collection I have two maxi dresses, both very old but I do occasionally wear them.) So I decided to turn it into a skirt and have worn it a few times, I prefer it like a skirt and am glad that I made the change (if I recall correctly, the dress was really hard to get into anyways).
I wore an old necklace, also from Stradivarius if I’m not mistaking. This look felt both relaxed with a slight boho vibe but at the same time with a slight edginess to it. I think the maxi skirt with the see-through fabric just does that on it’s own, the exposed yet covered juxtaposition.
My shoes are from Zara and are these black studded ballet flats, I love these and they are definitely almost too-worn. They are super comfy too and I love the black studs on black leather look. My shirt is also from Zara, also old and one of my favorites. It is so soft and has that faded feel of a favorite tee. Bag is Iron Fist and jacket Aeropostale.

OMG! I love this skirt and it’s even cooler that you DIY-ed it.
Thank you! I was hoping you would like it :))
Maxi dresses aren’t much my style either, but like you, I still have a few. I can’t help but feel that Bo-ho vibe when I wear mine also. I like how this turned out as a skirt.
Loveee this boho skirt 🙂 I just put up a post on my boho-maxi look as well… feel free to check it out!
Thanks and will do:)
LOVE it as a skirt.

Goodness of Milk & Lactose Intolerance
This article discusses the benefits of milk as well as its challenges such as lactose intolerance.
There is nothing like our mother’s milk to sustain us for the first year of life and beyond. Rich in vitamins, proteins, fats, carbohydrates, and other essential nutrients, milk is the perfect food to nurture and sustain healthy human growth. Once weaned from mother’s milk, humans have another excellent source of many of these nutrients readily available in cow’s milk and most Canadian children make this transition after infancy.
Along with its key dietary components, cow’s milk is also a natural source of many other vital nutrients and commercially sold milk comes fortified with vitamin D. Milk is 90% water, so it’s an effective thirst quencher. It is also the most abundant and easily accessed source of calcium in the North American diet, with one cup supplying about 300 mgs of calcium. Many people consume milk all though their lives with no difficulties but others suffer reactions to milk, the most common of which is lactose intolerance.
Milk, forsythia flowers, and a few tropical shrubs are the only natural sources of lactose.
Lactose Intolerance vs. Protein Allergy
Lactose is the sweet carbohydrate component of milk that consists of two bonded simple sugars. The body cannot digest this type of bonded sugar, a disaccharide, and needs an enzyme called lactase (a protein) to break down the structure into glucose and galactose, its constituent monosaccharides.
When your lactose intake exceeds the lactase production capacity of your small intestine, lactose will pass undigested to the large intestine where it creates symptoms of gas, abdominal distension, pain, diarrhea, and even vomiting, which typically occur about thirty minutes to two hours after eating lactose-containing foods.
Lactose intolerance can sometimes be confused with milk allergy, an immune reaction to one or more of the many proteins in milk. Allergic reactions include similar symptoms to lactose intolerance, in addition to skin rashes, gastroesophageal reflux disease, upper respiratory tract problems, and anaphylactic shock. An allergy to cow’s milk is rare, occurring in only 2-3% of infants, and less frequently in adults. A high percentage of those allergic to cow’s milk are also allergic to other animals’ milk (e.g. goat’s milk) and soy beverages. They also tend to have a family history of allergies.1
Symptoms localized to the gastrointestinal tract are more indicative of lactose intolerance than true allergy, and lactose intolerance is more likely to develop over time.
Types of Impaired Lactose Digestion
Primary lactase deficiency results from a decrease in lactase production that begins in early childhood during the transition from mother’s milk to fuller diet.2 This reduction in lactase will induce varying levels of the symptoms associated with lactose intolerance. Primary lactase intolerance is the most common variation, affecting nearly 70% of adults worldwide in varying degrees.3
Secondary lactase deficiency results from a primary disease, (e.g. celiac disease, Crohn’s disease, and gastroenteritis) a long course of antibiotics, radiation or chemotherapy, or severe malnutrition. However, this condition typically clears up with improved health and nutrition, and is usually temporary in nature.4
Congenital lactase deficiency is a rare and irreversible genetic disorder where an infant is born without the ability to produce lactase.5
Lactose Intolerance Diagnosis
You might think you have lactose intolerance if you don’t feel well shortly after having a glass of milk or a cup of yogurt. However, this reaction on its own is not an indicator that you are intolerant to milk products. Symptoms related to lactose intolerance occur soon after ingestion, so you could try an easy ‘test’ by avoiding dairy for a few days or a week to see if digestive symptoms resolve. Then, while gradually re-introducing milk products into your diet, make a note of any symptom return, so you can take this record to your physician for discussion. Your physician might ask you to have one or more of three common tests to confirm how your body is handling lactose. These tests are the hydrogen breath test, a lactose tolerance test, or a stool acidity test. It is important to consult a medical professional regarding a lactose intolerance diagnosis since symptoms of this disorder could be similar to those of other conditions.
Options for the Lactose Intolerant
While the amount of lactase produced in the small intestine tends to decrease after infancy, continuing to ingest milk and milk products seems to promote ongoing lactase production. The degree of lactose intolerance can vary widely, and there are many options for each individual situation. Most people can gradually challenge their systems to increase lactase production. A progressive increase in milk intake and the consumption of small amounts of milk more frequently will help stimulate lactase production. Drinking milk in conjunction with other foods will help slow digestion, reducing your chance of experiencing an unpleasant reaction.6
Many lactose intolerant individuals can enjoy some types of dairy products due to either reduced lactose or helpful bacteria (probiotics) found in these products. Hard aged cheese, such as cheddar and Swiss, and soft ripened cheeses have lower concentrations of lactose, making them more easily digestible, even for those with lower lactase production. The bacteria used in the production of yogurt, curd, and kefir produce a lactase-like enzyme, thereby aiding in the digestion of these foods. Reading product labels is important, as many cheeses and yogurts often include additional milk solids containing lactose.7
Commercial Products Help
Commercial products are available, either in the form of Lactaid® dietary supplement, containing just the enzyme lactase, or Lactaid® milk products wherein the lactose has already been broken down. One noticeable difference in pre-treated products is their distinctly sweeter taste, which results when the lactase reduces sugars to their simplest forms. Digesta® is a dietary supplement formulation containing lactase and other enzymes specifically designed to enhance the digestion of dietary carbohydrates, fats, and proteins.8 It is important to take either dietary supplement with the first bite of lactose-containing foods for greatest efficacy.
If you’re hoping to avoid lactose altogether, there are many ‘alternative’ commercially available plant-based milks, cheeses, and yogurts. See our page on Milk Alternatives for a list of these.
Those intolerant to any dairy should be wary of processed foods, since lactose is often used for texture, flavour, and adhesive qualities in sausages, sliced breads, breakfast cereals, dried fruits, potato chips, protein supplements, and prepared meals – to name a few. As mentioned above, read labels carefully to identify which products contain variations on lactose such as milk solids, milk ingredients, milk by-products, and whey.9
Don’t discount the goodness of milk, nor remove it from your diet without proof that milk is causing your symptoms. Make sure to see your physician for appropriate diagnosis, and seek the advice of a registered dietitian for guidance on how to gradually build your body’s tolerance to milk and other dairy products. A dietitian can offer advice on more easily digested milk products and work with you to ensure you do not miss any of the important nutrients found in this remarkable natural food.
