The present invention was conceived and reduced to practice in conjunction with the performance of a U.S. Government Contract, specifically USAF Contract No. F33657-88-C-2110.
The present invention relates in general to (RF) communication systems, and is particularly directed to a broadband high power amplifier architecture, which combines and amplifies multifrequency signals using a radial power combiner without the need for isolation components in the signal feed paths to the input ports of the radial combiner.
Current technology designs of high power multifrequency amplifiers for radio frequency communication applications typically use high gain amplifiers to amplify respectively different frequency signals that are to be combined and fed to an associated antenna unit. Because of the substantial amplitude and phase mismatch of the high gain amplifiers which feed the power combiner (typically, a radial power combiner), it is necessary to insert a respective isolator between the output of each high gain amplifier and a respective input port of the combiner, which undesirably limits the bandwidth of the amplifier. Moreover, each input port of the system is dedicated to a particular frequency signal, so that the amplifier is not readily adaptable to feed or signal input changes.
In accordance with the present invention, the above-enumerated drawbacks of prior art high power amplifier architectures are obviated by a new and improved broadband high power amplifier, having a plurality of input ports that need not be dedicated to preselected frequencies, so that the system offers considerably enhanced versatility over conventional designs with respect to port connections and the ability to vary the choice of input signals. In addition, by virtue of a self-isolation configuration, no isolator elements are required in the amplifier signal path connections to the respective input ports of the radial power combiner, so that the bandwidth is not limited by such components, as in the prior art.
Rather than employ (inherently mismatched) high gain amplifiers to amplify respectively different frequency signals that are to be combined and fed to an associated antenna unit, which mandates the insertion of band-limiting isolators between the output of each high gain amplifier and a respective input port of a (radial) power combiner, the broadband amplifier architecture of the present invention couples a plurality of moderate gain signal amplifier stages, having matched amplitude and phase characteristics, between a signal input stage and the input ports of a radial power combiner.
For wideband multi-signal applications, the signal input stage comprises an N-way power combiner that is arranged to combine a plurality of multi-frequency input signals and provide a combined (complex) signal at its output. The output of the N-way combiner is amplified in a preamplifier stage and supplied therefrom to an M-way power divider. The M-way power divider has a plurality of M output ports from which M subdivided versions of the combined (complex) output signal from the preamplifier are derived. Each of these effectively identical subdivided signals is coupled to a respective one of a plurality of M signal amplifier stages that driver the radial power combiner. Each amplifier stage is a relatively moderate gain amplifier stage, so that its amplitude and phase characteristics may be matched with those of the others of the M amplifier stages. Since the phase and amplitude characteristics of the amplifier stages that drive the radial power combiner are matched with one another, the M stage driver is effectively self-isolating, making it unnecessary to use band-limiting isolator components to protect the outputs of the respective driver amplifier stages feeding the radial power combiner.
The single FIG. is a diagrammatic illustration of a broadband high power amplifier in accordance with the present invention.
Before describing in detail the particular improved broadband high power amplifier in accordance with the present invention, it should be observed that the present invention resides primarily in a novel structural combination of conventional signal processing circuits and components and not in the particular detailed configurations thereof. Accordingly, the structure, control and arrangement of these conventional circuits and components have been illustrated in the drawings by a readily understandable block diagram which shows only those specific details that are pertinent to the present invention, so as not to obscure the disclosure with structural details which will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art having the benefit of the description herein. Thus, the block diagram illustration of the FIG. does not necessarily represent the mechanical structural arrangement of the exemplary system, but is primarily intended to illustrate the major structural components of the system in a convenient functional grouping, whereby the present invention may be more readily understood.
Referring now to the single FIG., a broadband high power amplifier in accordance with the present invention is shown is diagrammatically shown for its use with a plurality of multifrequency inputs 11-1...11-N, identified in the FIG. as a plurality of exciters 1-N. It should be observed, however, that the present invention is not limited to such a multi-signal application. Its amplification of a plurality of diverse frequency signals is to illustrate its broadband use. In an exemplary environment, exciters 1-N may represent respective sources for jamming or EMI test purposes, for example over a range of 20-100 MHz.
For the illustrated wideband multi-signal application, exciters 1-N are coupled to respective inputs 13-1 13-N of an N-way power combiner 15. Combiner 15 performs a summation of a 1/N fraction of the output of each of exciters 1-N and provides a combined, multi-frequency (complex) signal at its output. This combined signal is then amplified in a high gain (e.g. 50-60dB) preamplifier stage 21 and supplied therefrom to an M-way power divider 23. M-way power divider 23 has a plurality of M output ports 25-1-25-M from which M subdivided versions of the preamplified combined (complex) output signal from preamplifier stage 21 are derived. Each output port 25-i of power divider 23 is essentially the same signal output by high gain amplifier 21, but at an amplitude that is 1/Mth of that at the input to the power divider and the phase of each of which is the same. Each of these effectively identical subdivided signals is coupled to a respective one of a plurality of M signal amplifiers 27-1-27-M of a driver stage 27 that feeds a radial power combiner 31. Radial power combiner may be of the type described in an article by S. Foti et al, entitled "60-way radial power combiner uses no isolators," in Microwaves & RF, Jul., 1984, pp 96, 97, 100, 118, and in an article by D.Stones, entitled: " A UHF 16-Way Power Combiner Designed by Synthesis Techniques," Microwave Journal, Jun. 1989, pp 117-120.
In accordance with the present invention, each amplifier stage is a relatively low or moderate gain amplifier (e.g. a 350W driver), which permits its amplitude and phase characteristics to be effectively matched (e.g. within 0.5dB and ++/-10° ) with those of the others of the M amplifier stages. Since the subdivided signals supplied to the M amplifiers of driver stage 27 from M-way power divider 23 are coherent with one another, and since the phase and amplitude characteristics of the respective amplifiers of driver stage 27 that feed radial power combiner 31 are matched with one another, M stage driver 27 is effectively self-isolating, making it unnecessary to insert band-limiting isolator components at the outputs of amplifiers 27-i to protect the outputs of the respective driver amplifier stages feeding the radial power combiner. The number of stages feeding radial power combiner 31 will depend upon the power output desired. For example a twelve, 350W amplifier stage feeding twelve associated ports of combiner 31 will produce a 4.2kW output. Since the phase and amplitude characteristics of all of the low gain feed amplifiers are matched, the system is effectively self-isolating, so that the number of stages capable of feeding radial combiner is not limited, thereby permitting both high power and broadband operation to be realized. The class of amplifiers employed for high gain preamplifier stage 21 and the amplifiers of M stage driver 27 is not limited to a particular type and may correspond to class A, AB and C amplifiers, for example.
As will be appreciated from the foregoing description, the present invention offers a new and improved broadband high power amplifier capable of combining and amplifying a plurality of input signals that need not be dedicated to preselected frequencies, so that the system offers considerably enhanced versatility over conventional designs with respect to port connections and the ability to vary the choice of input signals. In addition, by virtue of a self-isolation configuration, no isolator elements are required in the amplifier signal path connections to the respective input ports of the radial power combiner, so that the system enjoys wideband operation.
While I have shown and described an embodiment in accordance with the present invention, it is to be understood that the same is not limited thereto but is susceptible to numerous changes and modifications as known to a person skilled in the art, and I therefore do not wish to be limited to the details shown and described herein but intend to cover all such changes and modifications as are obvious to one of ordinary skill in the art.

Statement by First Deputy Permanent Representative Dmitry Polyanskiy in the First Committee of the 75th session of the UNGA on cluster 7 "Disarmament machinery"
We believe that the UN and its multilateral disarmament machinery plays the central role in addressing issues, related to arms control, disarmament and non-proliferation (ACDN), as well as to the international security – as envisaged by the founding fathers 75 years ago. Each of the three components of the disarmament “triad” – the UNGA First Committee, the UN Disarmament Commission (UNDC) and the Conference on Disarmament (CD) is principal for the global discussion on these matters.
We regret that the work of a fundamental pillar of the disarmament mechanism, the UNDC, has been blocked for two years by now. The reason for that is the stance of the United States that seeks to politicize New York-based disarmament platforms and attempts to exert gross procedural pressure on the “unhandy” delegations instead of having a matter-of-fact conversation.
For several years on end, US authorities have been denying visas to the leading Russian experts in this area, and to delegations of a number of countries. In doing so, Washington crudely violates its obligations under 1947 Headquarters Agreement and ignores key provisions of UNGA resolution 74/195. However, this is the legal aspect of the matter, whereas in terms of politics this is a pennywise and futile approach, unworthy of such a great power as the United States. Does arrival of our experts frighten Washington so much that it would rather year-by-year lose its face in the First Committee than have them come here?
We call on the US colleagues to get back on track of respectful inter-state dialogue and interaction in accordance with the UN Charter and the Headquarters Agreement. References to this issue being on the agenda of the Host Country Committee do not work. The United States would torpedo any substantive discussion there either.
The US has no grounds, let alone legal rights, to block the participation of representatives of UN Member States in the events on the UN platform or to decide for them who should be part of, or even more so head of, national delegations. Through their destructive actions, the Americans are undermining the credibility of the United Nations Secretariat and Secretary-General of the Organization personally, who are obliged to ensure resolution of all organizational issues for the normal functioning of the United Nations bodies, regardless of the country in which the event is held.
Russia like no one else is interested in restoring the normal functioning of the UN disarmament mechanism. Guided by these considerations, we have put forward draft First Committee decision “Session of the United Nations Disarmament Commission in 2021”.
We would like to underscore that the draft is very constructive. It has the sole goal to boost the UNDC work, and it fully rests upon consensual non-confrontational language of the 2019 decision on the UNDC and consensus UNGA resolution 74/195. Our document almost totally reproduces an analogous 2019 UNGA decision authored by Australia and Hungary. But unlike the draft that Australia proposes this year, our draft stipulated all substantive provisions that address prospects of UNDC work in the upcoming year.
As for the addendums to the draft, they all base on UNGA decisions that directly have to do with the work of UNDC. The question of ensuring participation of all delegations in the UNDC work is more than legitimate, and it touches upon the essence rather than procedure. Unless it is solved, we will raise all organizational aspects, i.a. visa-related, at all available levels as issues that have a direct bearing on the UNDC operation. Without a solution to this, no “technical” decisions like the one drafted by Australia make any sense. This is our principled position.

Beautiful and built to last, metal art is an enchanting way to update the decor of your home. Whether it's a sculpture, a cutout, or a print on metal canvas, art made using metal is often a wonderful display of depth and texture, and the nature of metal makes a composition's colors more lustrous. All of these qualities, combined with the inherent strength of metal, provide years of charm and sophistication you don't get from other art mediums. Our selection at Overstock.com provides you with a wide range of durable and lovely metal art pieces to choose from.
Your choice of wall art is a great way to express your personal taste. Designs range from minimalist to complex, prints of natural scenery to everyday objects, geometric patterns to abstract ink swirls, black and white or bright, bold colors. The texture is just as important as the image and while flat prints and paintings are ideal for many wall spaces, some spaces just need a little bit more to make them stand out. In this case, go for dimensional art. Intriguing designs made from paper, wood, metal or capiz make the wall art pop before your eyes. This type of art is particularly suited to a room with a calm, minimalist design, neutral tones or fairly large size.
If you love bright colors, then this room is perfect for you. The walls are covered in orange paint with some pretty spectacular wall art all over the place. The night stands are mirrored to make the room look larger than what it really is. The headboard is upholstered, giving the room a vintage feel. My favorite part of the room would have to be that gorgeous French door that goes out on to the balcony.
The light color of the walls and the bed contrasts with the color or the objects and fabrics which make the room feel more carefree and happier. The paintings are also in harmony with the rest of the decoration, making elements of nature more evident. The lamps and the night-stands, although similar, end up breaking the symmetry in a subtle manner, which matches even more with the light air of the ambiance as a while.
The discs of this Arte de Metallo sculpture The discs of this Arte de Metallo sculpture are allowed to float free of any canvas or border the illusion perfected by hiding the structure underneath. The slits cut into each disc are reminiscent of sea life an impression supported by the pearlescent browns and greys used in the piece. ... More + Product Details Close
This luxurious bedroom sporting a combination of dark and bright colors gives off the impression of wealth and royalty. With more ornate or gold-plated furniture, it brings back the splendor of La Belle Epoque. The dark paintings and heavy curtains cover the walls making the ambient more secluded and personal while the covered lamps and antique-looking chandelier keep the room well-lit. The large bed gives it a comforting look or an otherwise serious environment.
Artwork is essential to any home décor. It presents your personal sense of style and taste, it welcomes people into a space, and it makes your new house or apartment feel like a home. There's a ton of approaches you can take to decorating your house, from the standard landscape prints in frames to beautiful tapestries. Those who really want to add unique style to their room choose stunning pieces of metal wall art.
A wall of art is a stylish backdrop for a custom headboard. Start by placing two similar-sized prints in the center above the headboard and then work your way out with prints of different sizes. Discover an array of abstract art or landscape art to create the kind of vibe that's perfect for you. If having one feature wall is more your style, then paint one wall with a bright color and add contrast with an inspiring painting and start your day on a positive note.
A bedroom with a predominance of light colors, which are heightened by the natural light. This highlights the dark shelves, vases, and pictures without making the ambient feel cluttered. The presence of discreet plants on the stand also add to the room’s lighter aspects. The room seems to follow a rigid and minimalistic style, which is opposed only by the painting that follows a more expressionist style, giving it more presence and diversity to the room.
This room, which belongs to B.D. Wong, is very simply designed, but features shiny fabrics such as the comforter. The bed itself is a simple sleigh bed in a soft wood color. Above the bed is the handcrafted area rug that is proudly displayed for all to see rather than being walked upon. The rest of the room is beautifully retro and all around stylish.
Rustic bedrooms are becoming more popular with each passing day and this one is no exception to that theory. This room features many pieces of wall art, such as the driftwood, and many other pictures that are hanging. At the end of the bed are two matching chairs and ottomans on top of a blue area rug. This is the perfect sitting are for reading or relaxing before bed. I also really like the design of the wood on the ceiling.
Rather than buying a picture to put on your wall, why not create your own wall full of pictures like the one in this room. This bedroom features an entire wall of picture that represent the life of the owner of the room. Above the bed there is also a picture of Marylin Monroe. I like the idea of taking your own pictures and making a mural. It brings a sense of creativity into the room. The rest of the room is decorated with different colors and patterns such as mint and gold.
When I look at this bedroom, the first thing that comes to my mind is darkness. The room is painted a grey color with light brown linens and area rug which corresponds wonderfully with the modern furniture. The flooring is the same color as the walls which also match that painting on the wall. The painting is a beautiful three-piece unit with trees and leaves. It adds to the overall mystery of the bedroom.

The grouse locusts (Tetrigidae) represent a group of small sized Caeliferan Orthoptera. These are considered to be primitive orthopterans related to Tridactylids on one hand to Acridids on the other. This family is represented in Indian subcontinent by about 90 species belonging to 35 genera. In the present study haemolymph protein profiles from 7 species from this family have been studied as an additional parameter to understand interrelationship amongst them. It is noted that the species
From this observation it becomes clear that help from additional parameters like protein profile studies, immunochemical studies, cytogenetic analysis, etc will prove to be very valuable for the real understanding of phylogenetic interrelations and evolution of this family in particular and the status of grouse locusts vis-a-vis the orthopteran insects in general.

The Odyssey-4E is an extended version of our Odyssey-4 UV laser wire stripping system with double the processing area: 4″ x 4″ (100 mm x 100 mm) instead of 2″ x 2″ (50 mm x 50 mm). This means it can strip up to double the quantity of wires at any one time.
As with the standard Odyssey-4 unit, the Odyssey-4E is especially suited to strip very fine, delicate enamel wires, such as those used in medical device manufacture.
Highlights of the Odyssey-4E system include:
Particular benefits of using this laser wire stripping system are:
The Odyssey-4E system is capable of stripping almost all magnet wire insulations from 30 AWG down to 58 AWG and smaller. The system can strip single wires or ribbons (bi-filar, tri-filar, twisted pair, etc).
In addition, the same laser source can be used to cut the individual wires enabling precision connectorization - with the highest accuracy strip lengths.
All Odyssey systems are capable of stripping polyimide-type enamel insulations found on catheter wiring and magnet wires. Note the laser will not strip fluoropolymers, such as PTFE or ETFE. Examples of wire types stripped:
|Min. Outer Cable Diameter||0.025 mm (0.001")|
|Max. Outer Cable Diameter||0.25 mm (0.2")|

The growing row over biofuels is ready to flare up again with German researchers claiming to have found evidence that European-produced biodiesel does not meet the sustainability targets claimed by Brussels.
Two experts at Friedrich Schiller University in Jena say eight out of their 10 tests on locally produced rapeseed biodiesel failed to show the 35% greenhouse gas savings promised. In most cases it was under 30%. The use of biofuels would be further undermined when the EU emissions target increases, as planned, to 50% in five years' time.
Gernot Pehnelt and Christoph Vietze also claim their work has been undermined by a lack of co-operation from the European Union which they believe is on the defensive over championing local energy crops.
"Our results indicate that the 'sustainability' of rapeseed biodiesel in the interpretation of the [EU's] renewable energy directive is at best questionable and in most scenarios simply unjustifiable," said Pehnelt. "What we need is transparency. The European commission hesitates to publish all the background data and promises to come up with new calculations for individual biofuels but they have not come up with any values yet."
Biofuels are accused by the UN and others of pushing up world food prices, and exacerbating the effect of the most severe drought in the US in half a century. US legislators called on the environmental protection agency this month to waive its ethanol mandate that stipulates 40% of the American corn crop is turned into biodiesel. The US department of agriculture said the corn yield would be the lowest for 17 years, raising grain prices as it means there will be more demand for wheat to be used as animal feed.
José Graziano da Silva, director general of the Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) at the United Nations, said he wanted to see a halt in US government-backed production of corn-based ethanol, which is mixed with petrol to make "greener" fuel, amid fears the world is heading for another food crisis like the one in 2008 that triggered riots.
The EU's lack of transparency on biofuels has already been challenged by non-governmental organisations (NGOs) such as Client Earth, and the German academics say their problems play into the hands of those who believe that Brussels is deliberately overstating the benefits of local rapeseed for political reasons.
Germany, France and Italy are the EU's biggest producers of rapeseed oil, and are also home to a car manufacturing industry that actively supports the use of biodiesel for reducing carbon emissions.
Europe's renewable energy directive, introduced three years ago, demands that greenhouse gas emissions from production and use of biofuels for transport must be at least 35% lower than those from fossil fuels. In 2017 that marker is meant to rise to 50%.
Plans drawn up by EU member states predict that bio-energy, including biomass for power generation and biofuel for transport, will provide more than 50% of the EU share of renewable energy as part of 2020 climate goals.
Use of biodiesel is expected to double by 2020 to 19.95m tonnes of oil equivalent from around 10m tonnes in 2010.
Brussels faces a big challenge coming up with the investment and technology needed to move to a new feedstock for biodiesel, such as weeds and waste stems that would take the pressure off grain supplies for food.
The EU also needs to find inputs that would no longer result in the clearing of environmentally sensitive forests and wetlands to plant fuel crops, an issue known as indirect land use change.
The finds of the two German academics have received the support of Fausto Freire, who conducts research on biofuels at the University of Coimbra in Portugal. He told Nature magazine that there are "huge uncertainties" associated with the greenhouse-gas emissions of biodiesel but another academic, Gerhard Brankatschk at Technische Universität Berlin, believed the east German study had "severe shortcomings".
Nestlé: End biofuels now"
The chairman of the world's biggest food group Nestlé, Peter Brabeck, has called on politicians to lobby to end the use of food in the production of biofuels.
"This does not mean that biofuel should be scrapped entirely but that producers should use other organic materials," Brabeck told the Swiss newspaper SonntagsZeitung.
He joins a growing chorus of politicians and scientists calling for a rethink in biofuel production.
"Our problem is that almost half of US corn production and 60% of European rape is being used for fuel production," he said.
Biofuel production is adding pressure on food prices which are already being boosted by climate change.
"[Food] prices are increasingly prone to swings and correlate more and more with oil prices," he said.
He also called for more transparency in international commodities markets.

I love chicharrón en salsa verde, but when I first moved here the dish didn't appeal to me. Drown crunchy chicharrón in salsa? And then what? Wait, the point is soggy chicharrón? I was too scared/weirded out to try it until early this year, when Ruth and I stopped at a roadside stand in the mountains outside Puebla, the kind with the hand-painted signs and the little stovepipes billowing smoke. The chicharrón, which I'd never had for breakfast, bubbled in a cazuela and sent up reams of steam. I ordered some and the texture was surprisingly delicate, like a fluffy cooked egg. The acidy tomatillo sauce settled into its nooks and crevices, while the smoky taste of bacon lurked. All in all, it was outstanding. I was looking for an easy party dish to make last week and Lola suggested chicharrón en salsa verde con nopal. I'd never made it, but she said you make your sauce and throw in your chicharrón and cactus y ya. Done. She was right. The dish didn't take much time, it was hearty and satisfying and easy to transport. We added lots of boiled nopal and chicharrón with plenty of meat on it, known here as chicharrón carnudo. (I told the butchers at the market: "Deme chicharrón bien carnudito!" I have no idea if that's an albur or not.) Simmered everything in a big pot of salsa until the chicharrón was just soft, then scooped it into warm tortillas. The taste was just like I remembered -- spicy and acidy, with just the right amount of pork flavor. The biggest compliment I got was after the party. A friend told me over Twitter that he fed his Mexican aunt and grandmother my guisado, and they loved it. Let me repeat that: A Mexican grandmother loved my cooking. Now I just need to learn how to identify an albur and I will be that much closer to being Mexican. Chicharrón en salsa verde con nopal Serves 10 to 12, or more Note: You can halve this dish if you want or make even less. As long as you have the salsa base, it's just a matter of tossing extra ingredients into the same pot. (I've thought of adding peas or green beans in addition to cactus, although that's not traditional and Lola looked at me funny when I suggested it.) If you can't find fresh chile de árbol -- a long, skinny green pepper -- serrano will work. I also used the smallest tomatillos I could find, which are sweeter and more flavorful than the larger ones. I bought WAY too much chicharrón because I thought it would reduce to a third of its size. It doesn't -- it reduces somewhat but also soaks up a lot of liquid, so if you put in too much you won't have any salsa left or room for extra veggies. I have adjusted the recipe below to reflect the amount I should have bought. If you have extra chicharrón left over, it's great with pico de gallo, or to bring to a party in place of chips. Chicharrón = super popular Mexican party food. This dish also reheats beautifully and will keep in an airtight container in the fridge for at least a week. Ingredients 4 pounds/2 kilos of tomatillo, husked 1/2 lb./250g fresh chile de árbol (see note), stems removed 1 medium white onion + 1/4 chunk of an additional white onion 4 garlic cloves, peeled 6 pounds/3 kilos fresh cactus paddles (about 20 large paddles), de-spined and washed 2 tablespoons lard 1 1/2 to 2 pounds/1 kilo chicharrón carnudo (chicharrón with lots of meat bits), broken into pieces 12 stems cilantro, chopped Salt to taste Directions Rinse your tomatillos well under running water, removing any dirty bits. They should still be a little sticky -- this doesn't mean they're dirty, it's just the tomatillos' natural sugar. Working in batches (or one large pot if you have one) place half the tomatillos and chiles in one pot, and half in the other. Cover with water. Add half an onion and two garlic cloves to each pot. Simmer on medium to medium-low heat until the tomatillos and chiles have softened and turned a muted green. Remove the tomatillos, chiles, onion and garlic to a bowl and reserve about 6 to 8 cups of your soaking liquid, which you'll use to thin out your sauce later. Fill a blender jar halfway with the hot tomatillo-chile-garlic-onion mixture. (Important note: if you fill the blender completely with hot contents, the lid may blow off. Be careful and tread lightly here. You could also let the items cool and go have a glass of wine.) Add one ladleful of tomatillo water and blend on low; then slowly blend on higher speeds until the sauce is smooth. Pour into a bowl and repeat until you've blended all of the sauce. Once the sauce is done, it's time to work on the cactus. Cut the cactus into 2-inch pieces and place in a pot covered with water. Bring to a boil, lower flame and simmer until the pieces are tender and a muted pea-green color. Strain and let drain in a colander while you fry the sauce. Heat a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat, and add the lard. When it's melted and hot, add the 1/4-piece of onion and fry until dark golden-brown and bubbly on all sides. Remove onion pieces from the hot oil using a slotted spoon. Quickly pour in your salsa (be careful as it might spit), stirring constantly so it doesn't stick and burn. Once sauce starts to boil, add chicharrón pieces in batches. Then add the cooked cactus to the pot, and 5 cups of the soaking liquid. Stir to combine. The dish should be saucy but not watery and thin -- if it's too thin, raise the heat and bring to boil to reduce it. I tend to use a lot of liquid since we're at such a high altitude and it evaporates quickly. Taste for salt -- I added about 1 teaspoon or a little more -- and bring sauce to a gentle boil, again stirring occasionally so it doesn't stick. The dish is done when the chicharrón has softened, about 15 minutes. Remove from heat, taste again for more salt and stir in chopped cilantro. Serve with warm tortillas and beans.
I hadn’t spent much time in San Miguel de Allende until about a week ago, when I went for the annual writers' conference. To be honest, I didn't really have a high opinion of the place -- Crayton and I spent one afternoon there in 2007 and I remember feeling annoyed with all the English-speaking, the tourists in shorts, the expensive artesanía. This time I went with a more open mind. I stayed at a beautiful bed and breakfast, Casa Luna, with one of my favorite girlfriends in the world. I took some cooking classes with the incomparable Marilau. (More on her later.) The city was much prettier than I remembered -- probably the most well-preserved colonial Mexican town I’ve ever seen. The English-speaking didn't bother me much. What bugged me more was constantly receiving flour tortillas instead of corn, because the waiters thought I'd like them more. (Flour tortillas are for the north. We eat corn in Central Mexico.) One of my favorite snacks in San Miguel was the guacamaya, a chicharrón sandwich made on a bolillo roll. A very cool children's book author I met, who happened to be a San Miguel native, told me about them. Apparently the sandwiches are quite popular in León. I spotted a stand through the window of a car one afternoon and made the driver, a new friend, pull over. I'd thought the salsa would be more like a torta ahogada, but it was much fresher, like a pico de gallo. It soaked into the chicharrón, creating this layer that was soggy in parts and crunchy in others. Somehow it tasted light, much lighter than the gringa al pastor I had the first night in town. (The gringa was awesome, by the way. But different.) I may go back to San Miguel later this year for more cooking classes. If you've got any tips on interesting local foods, or if you know anything about guacamayas (like how they got their name!), I'd love to hear your comments. You can find more San Miguel food photos in my Picasa album.
A few weeks ago, Crayton and I went puebleando for the first time. "Pueblear" is a Mexican word meaning "to travel to little towns and hang out." There isn't really an intinerary with you're puebleando -- you just get in the car and go. When you get to a town, you sit and hang out. Maybe buy an ice cream and people-watch in the square. There is absolutely no pressure to do anything. We ended up in Zacatlán de las Manzanas, a pleasant, colonial-style town in the northern part of Puebla state. Accompanying us were our friends Jesica and Erik, and Jesica's parents. They'd been to Zacatlán several times before, and so our first stop was at a panadería to buy some special pan de Zacatlán. They're soft white rolls or empanadas stuffed with a crumbly, savory, almost cottage-y cheese. (This is also one of my new favorite phrases, because it has so much rhythm. Try saying it: PAHN de zah-caht-LAHN.) I loved trying the bread -- and to be honest, we bought a wee bit more than the local bread; also donuts and conchas and a muffin stuffed with cream -- but the best part of the trip happened while we were walking to the church. On a little side street, a man stood in front of a huge cauldron of bubbling pork fat, making homemade chicharrón. ...

Yes, but in a different capacity. Luke, has rebuilt the Jedi temple, and has the "Yoda" position within.
Han, and Leia are married, with young adult children. Han is a retired general from the republic army.Leia is a powerhouse politician in the republic senate.
C-3PO is still annoying.
Focus the story around the kids of the original cast,and lukes"chosen favorite jedi"
Let the originals be part of the story, but not the focus of it.
Id pay to see it.Only because it was a close second to startrek when I was a child.

After a little convincing, my MOM and DAD decided that they were going to attend Burning Man. In this film you'll get to know me and my parents in our daily lives, and see the step-by-step process of some first-timers going to Black Rock City.
We're going to follow them through the process of scrounging through thrift-stores for appropriate attire, decorating their bicycles, and building art installations to take to the desert. We'll go with them to Burning Man, taking them to a world where anything is possible; to a place where they can express themselves with no boundaries.
This film will aim to encourage those who have fallen into the loop of average life to keep their own creative endeavors in mind, and will urge people to question their priorities and what they hold as “important”, reminding them that it isn't too late for them to pursue their own wildest dreams. This message will hopefully reach a large, contrasting audience by delivering it through an accessible medium in a light-hearted manner.
This project will hopefully circulate in film festivals internationally, and with the quality of which it will be produced at, it could possibly be on television as well! The filmmakers involved have critically acclaimed work under their belt, and this budget will allow for them to step it up a notch.

Unlike other welding machines, high frequency pipe welding machine has more functions and uses than single welding machine. High frequency pipe welding machine can not only be used for welding various metal materials, but also be used for diathermy, melting, heat treatment and other processes.
The high-frequency welding pipe machine is mainly composed of uncoiler, straightening machine, active straightening machine, shear butt welding machine, storage loop, forming and sizing machine, computer flying saw, milling head machine, hydraulic testing machine, blanking roller table, flaw detection equipment, packer, high-frequency DC drive and whole-line electrical appliances.
High-frequency pipe welding machine is used to send steel strip of certain specifications into the machine, curl the steel strip into pipe blank through the forming roller, and then use the proximity effect and skin effect of high frequency to quickly heat the pipe edge to the welding temperature, complete the welding under the extrusion pressure of the extrusion roller, and then cool, size and rough straighten the steel pipe of the required specifications.
Working principle of high-frequency pipe welding machine
First of all, in the high-frequency pipe welding machine, a set of unique electronic circuits will convert the low-frequency alternating current (50Hz) input from the power grid into high-frequency alternating current (generally more than 20000Hz). After the high-frequency current acts on the inductive coil (i.e. induction coil), it will be converted into high-frequency magnetic field through the electromagnetic induction principle, and act on the metal objects in the magnetic field; The eddy current effect is used to generate an induced current in direct proportion to the magnetic field strength in a metal object. This eddy current is affected by skin effect. The higher the frequency, the more concentrated it is on the surface of metal objects. When eddy current flows in a metal object, it will generate heat by using the principle of current thermal effect and its internal resistance value. This heat is generated directly inside the object. Therefore, the heating speed is fast and the efficiency is high. It can instantly melt any metal. Heating speed and temperature are controllable. This equipment is especially suitable for heat treatment quenching, annealing, metal diathermal forging, extrusion molding, solder welding, etc.
What are the forging applications of high-frequency pipe welding machine? 1. The steel plate is heated and bent. 2. Diathermic forming of standard parts and fasteners. 3. Hardware tools are formed by heating, such as pliers and wrenches. 4. Extrusion of drill pipe taper shank. 5. Steel pipe diathermy forming, such as elbow, etc.
What are the precautions for high-frequency pipe welding machine
1. Do not start the machine without knowing its structural performance or operating procedures.
2. During the working process of the machine, the mold should not be repaired or adjusted.
3. When the machine finds serious oil leakage or other abnormal conditions (such as unreliable movement, loud noise, vibration, etc.), it should stop to analyze the causes and try to remove them. It is not allowed to put into production with defects.
4. Do not overload or exceed the extreme eccentricity.
5. It is forbidden to exceed the limit stroke of the slider, and the height of the mold shall not be less than 600mm.
6. The grounding of electrical equipment must be firm and reliable.
7. At the end of each day's work: put the slider in the proper position.

A healthy diet is not limited to eating just one food that provides all the necessary nutrients for the body. We should follow a balanced and healthy lifestyle that includes a comprehensive diet. No single food can meet the body’s needs correctly, so we need to follow the principles of the food pyramid to ensure that the body’s nutritional needs are met to maintain health and activity.
A healthy diet requires variety in consuming food, focusing on fruits and vegetables, whole grains, healthy proteins, and good fats. The consumption of sugar, salt, and saturated fats should be reduced. This dietary approach helps improve heart health, strengthen the immune system, and enhance energy and focus.
In addition, drinking adequate amounts of water is necessary to maintain hydration, and regular physical activity is essential to promote physical fitness and maintain healthy weight. By adopting these healthy habits, we can build a lifestyle that helps promote overall health and live more comfortably and actively.
What is a healthy diet?
A healthy diet is considered a balanced diet that includes all the necessary nutrients, minerals, and vitamins to support overall body health. This is achieved by distributing calories and nutrients evenly throughout daily meals. The healthy diet includes eating a variety of foods that meet the body’s needs for proteins, carbohydrates, healthy fats, vitamins, and minerals.
The importance of a healthy diet also lies in regular physical activity. Different types of exercises can be chosen based on personal needs and physical capabilities, such as walking, running, swimming, and fitness exercises. All of these work together to achieve a healthy and balanced lifestyle that contributes to supporting overall health and well-being.
What is the importance of a healthy diet?
Following a healthy diet is of great importance in maintaining human health and preventing various nutritional problems. It plays an effective role in preventing chronic diseases such as heart disease, diabetes, cancer, and even stroke.
Not following a healthy diet is among the leading global risks that affect human health, and many health challenges are attributed to insufficient physical activity and unhealthy nutrition.
The importance of a healthy diet also lies in supporting the health of children from an early age, as regular breastfeeding contributes to promoting healthy growth and developing the immune system. This approach contributes to the prevention of diseases such as anemia and reduces the risks of weight gain and obesity in later stages.
Following a balanced diet contributes to providing the body with the necessary nutrients to perform its functions effectively. Protein repairs damaged tissues, and carbohydrates and healthy fats provide the energy needed by the body. In general, a healthy diet protects the body’s cells from environmental damage and enhances the ability to face health challenges effectively.
Nutrients needed for a healthy diet:
1. Protein: The body needs protein, in particular, to grow and continue its vital functions, and to provide the body with the energy needed to perform daily activities. Protein can be obtained from animal sources such as meat, poultry, and fish, and from plant sources such as beans, nuts, and soybeans.
2. Fats: They are an essential part of daily nutrition, as the body needs them to function properly. It is stipulated that the fats consumed should be healthy and unsaturated, as they play a vital role in supporting brain health and heart muscle, and enhancing cell functions. They also play a fundamental role in the overall health of hair, skin, and nails.
Among the prominent examples of healthy fats is omega-3, which is found in large quantities in some types of fish. Research shows that consuming omega-3 reduces the risk of heart and vascular diseases and contributes to improving mental health. In addition, avocados are considered a rich source of healthy plant fats, as consuming them contributes to preventing atherosclerosis and protecting against heart diseases.
3. Healthy carbohydrates: Provide the energy needed for biological processes and daily activity. Sources of healthy carbohydrates include whole grains, legumes, fruits, and vegetables. They are digested slowly, helping to feel full for long periods and maintaining blood sugar levels.
These nutrients are particularly important for maintaining a healthy nutritional balance and preventing a variety of diseases, and contribute to improving overall health.
Some tips for maintaining a healthy diet:
To maintain a healthy diet, it is preferred to follow some tips that contribute to improving health and preventing many diseases:
1. Determining the amount of calories and fats:
– The amount of calories consumed should be proportional to energy consumption to avoid unhealthy weight gain.
– It is recommended that the total fat percentage be less than 30% of total calories.
2. Controlling the amount of sugars:
– The amount of unhealthy sugars should be less than 10% of total calories consumed daily.
– It is preferable to limit the consumption of sweets and sugar-rich drinks.
3. Reducing salt consumption:
– It is preferable to limit the use of salt, and avoid salty foods.
– Replace salt with healthy alternatives such as aromatic spices.
4. Increasing the consumption of fruits and vegetables:
– Eat at least 400 grams or five servings of fruits and vegetables daily.
– Pay attention to including vegetables in your daily meals.
5. Diversifying protein sources:
– Choose diverse protein sources such as white meats, fish, beans, and nuts.
– Avoid excessive consumption of red meats.
6. Drinking enough water:
– Make sure to drink enough water daily to maintain hydration and support body functions.
7. Choosing healthy fats:
– Replace saturated fats with healthy fats such as olive oil and avocado.
– Avoid trans fats and hydrogenated fats found in fast food.
8. Regular physical activity:
– Encouraged to exercise regularly to maintain physical fitness and healthy weight.
Essential matters for following a healthy diet:
In addition to our concern for the foods we consume, we must also pay special attention to some essential points for achieving a healthy diet:
1. Drinking enough water:
– It is recommended to drink eight cups of water daily to meet the body’s basic needs.
– Water plays an important role in purifying the body from toxins and improving digestion.
2. Consuming vegetables in large quantities:
– Vegetables have high nutritional value and are low in calories.
– It is preferable to eat a variety of vegetables such as turnips, cauliflower, and broccoli.
3. Including sweet vegetables in the diet:
– Eating sweet vegetables such as carrots and sweet potatoes can be a healthy alternative to sweets.
4. Regular consumption of fish:
– It is preferable to eat fish once a week for its omega-3 content and important nutritional benefits.
5. Consuming fruits rich in fiber and vitamins:
– Fruits such as berries, apples, and oranges are rich in fiber and vitamins and contribute to maintaining overall health.
6. Consuming healthy fats:
– Replace saturated fats with healthy fats such as olive oil and avocado.
– Including healthy fat sources such as nuts and chia seeds.
7. Ensuring calcium intake:
– Include sources of calcium such as milk, cheese, and leafy vegetables to build strong bones and teeth.
8. Determining the amount of sugars:
– Limiting the consumption of unhealthy sugars and focusing on natural sugar sources in fruits.

Being raised in a small community where religion was not overtly discussed, I grew up imagining that I was neither religious nor spiritual in any way. However, I’ve come to find out over the course of my life that I grew up with values and a moral code that form their own kind of faith, even if it didn’t come from any specific person, place, or text.
This forces the idea that I as a person was not religious by definition, but spiritual both in my belief in some form of moral code, and in my belief in some cosmic force bigger than myself, though this force is grounded in what I can see in the people around me.
‘Spiritual but not religious’ is a difficult position to occupy and, I think at least, requires mental hurdles to justify in my own mind, without believing in some idea more concrete and established. But if I believed in the people around me and our cooperative ability to build something worthwhile through sustained effort, such as a community — does that count as spiritual? I couldn’t honestly say for a long time.
The necessary change to induce a wider viewpoint came in moving to Madison, a roughly 260,000 person increase in population compared to my hometown. Meeting a range of people from expansive backgrounds, I came to find that against intuition, these people shared many of the same beliefs, values, and ethical ideals as I did, even without the same community.
Finding this wider net of people who I could see myself in only redoubled my belief that people are a part of a design bigger than themselves. The question still remained though, what exactly was I purporting to believe in? Believing in people themselves so far as their pure physical existence is hardly a groundbreaking sentiment as nearly any person on the planet could confirm their existence. Believing in people is all the thought I ever put into the thought, but with time to reflect, I’ve come to realize what exactly I actually do believe in.
I’ve found my own faith in people and their individual lives. As each person takes up their personal quest to uphold the traditions shared so communally without acknowledgment, so many people leading such varied lives come together to form something no one person could ever see. Our traditions vary considerably in physical practice, but lead to a similar endpoint.
As I sat thinking of what I was attempting to describe, I was shocked to find myself describing faith in some shared human experience. This is the faith I hold, even as I declared to be outside of faith their entire life.
I don’t pretend to be anywhere near the end of this exploration into my own beliefs, but in widening my net from a town comprised mainly of gravel roads to a capital city with an assortment of more people than I could ever hope to meet, I continue to find the reassurance that this belief I inexplicably hold isn’t misplaced. Far from it, I’m beginning to see my faith in the people I am lucky enough to find all around me.

Horrors: British politician writes article about economics.
And it’s not just any old politician: it’s Chris Leslie, the Labour Party’s economics spokesman or “shadow chancellor”. His article is in the New Statesman.
After some introductory waffle, he says, “Take, for example, the proposal for a ‘People’s Quantitative Easing’ where the Bank of England is instructed to use QE to directly finance infrastructure and public service projects. At one level it sounds so easy – if there’s a shortage of money, just print some more! But ending the Bank of England’s independence…”
Hang on. Why does giving the central bank the right to print money and let government spend it constitute “ending the BoE’s independence”? It doesn’t!!!!!
Indeed some of the of keenest proponents of the above “print and spend” idea, (e.g. Positive Money and the New Economics Foundation) SPECIFICALLY advocate that the if the above print and spend policy is implemented, the central bank should REMAIN independent.
That’s not to say the central bank should have the right to make obviously political decisions, like how much is spent on health, roads or education. But it SHOULD be independent in the sense of deciding how much stimulus is suitable. But central banks already have a dominant say on the latter point, so the likes of PM and the NEF are not advocating anything the slightest bit revolutionary there.
Chris Leslie continues, “But ending the Bank of England’s independence and reversing one of Labour’s most enduringly successful reforms would risk a major hike in lending rates, taking money away from schools and hospitals as debt servicing becomes more expensive.”
Now why on Earth does “print and spend” necessarily result in higher interest rates? Obviously if the amount of print and spend was excessive, then one way of countering that excess would be to raise interest rates. But it’s a bit daft to implement EXCESSIVE stimulus via print and spend and than counter that with higher interest rates.
Assuming the central bank is half competent, it won’t do that.
Next, Chris Leslie says, “And resorting to the printing press to artificially create money for public expenditure purposes would be a major distortion for the economy. Such a new monetarism would spark higher inflation and make it harder for those on lower incomes to afford goods and services…”.
First, who said that new money necessarily goes to extra “public expenditure”? As PM and NEF make clear, it’s up to the government of the day whether it wants to spend extra money on more public expenditure items, or whether it wants to spend it on tax cuts: which would result in more PRIVATE spending.
Second, there’s Leslie’s idea that money printing is “distortionary”. Quite the reverse: what IS DISTORTIONARY is the alternative method of adjusting stimulus, i.e. interest rate changes. Reason is that those changes affect only a limited proportion of the economy: those households and firms which are significantly dependent on variable rate loans. In contrast, those with no loans at all, or with loans where the rate of interest is fixed for several years hence, are not affected.
You might as well boost the economy by doing helicopter drops just on households where the head of household has red or blonde hair.
As for the rest of Chris Leslie’s article, I can’t be bothered with it. He obviously hasn’t a clue.

Rogers Communications’ donation allows those in hospital to remain in touch
Brenda Poapst’s desire to help others is what drew her into nursing. Twelve years later, and two years into the pandemic, Poapst and all health care providers have had to alter how they provide care—including how they help patients cope when visitor restrictions are in place.
Poapst, a clinical resource nurse on Health Sciences Centre’s RR6 unit, cares for a diverse patient population of patients recovering from accidents, trauma, and falls. The 22-bed unit is home to many who aren’t currently mobile and who don’t have their own cell phone. Unlike other areas of HSC, RR6 doesn’t have phones in patients’ rooms. For many patients with mobility issues, accessing the communal hallway phone is difficult.
Thanks to Rogers’ generous donation of 60 phones and 63 tablets in August 2021, Poapst can once again help patients connect with their loved ones. For example, RR6 recently cared for a patient from northern Manitoba who didn’t have a cell phone and was expected to be at HSC for a long time. “She was really struggling, and this donated phone made a huge difference. This phone opened lines of communication and provided comfort for the patient and her family. When you’re in the hospital, you need connection the most,” notes Poapst.
The RR6 team cared for a man who also didn’t have a cell phone. After he was admitted, his wife fell ill and had to be hospitalized, too. The couple would have had no way of communicating if it weren’t for Rogers’ donation. “He had tears in his eyes when he talked to her and could hear that she would be okay. This helped immensely for his recovery,” recalls Poapst.
The impact of Rogers’ donation continues to be felt throughout the hospital’s 39-acre campus. Hardeep Samra, Manager of Patient Care on HSC PsycHealth Department’s PX2West, oversees a 25-bed unit that cares for patients with schizophrenia, eating disorders, bipolar, meth-induced psychosis, and personality disorders. Patients on this unit may be in isolation due to COVID or awaiting the results of a COVID test. Being able to provide patients with a tablet while they are in isolation has kept patients and staff safer. “Having these tablets makes patients more compliant with isolation, relieves their anxiety, and overall makes the unit safer for everyone,” says Samra.
“Thank you, Rogers, for providing a source of comfort and support when patients are in a vulnerable time. We need to preserve contact between patients and their loved ones as much as possible,” Samra says. “This donation has also been helpful for staff. It relieves anxiety when staff don’t have to be face-to-face with a COVID-positive patient who leaves their room. These tablets provide entertainment, communication, and connection.”
“We are proud to support the Health Sciences Centre Foundation by providing phones and plans for patient use while in care,” says Larry Goerzen, President of Alberta and Prairies Region, Rogers Communications. “At Rogers, we are committed to helping Manitobans stay connected and we continue investing in expanding our networks to close the digital divide.”

Before starting the measurement, you need to configure the parameters according to your specific requirements. The app allows you to adjust the sound source, microphone position, and other relevant settings. Take your time to set up everything correctly.
Step 5: Begin the Measurement
Once you have set up the parameters, position yourself in the room where you want to measure the reverberation time. Make sure the sound source and microphone are properly placed. Then, tap the “Start” button to initiate the measurement.
Step 6: Analyze the Results
After a few seconds, the app will collect the necessary data and present you with the results. You will see the reverberation time value displayed on the screen. Take note of this value as it will help you assess the acoustic quality of the room.
Step 7: Save and Share the Measurement
If you want to keep a record of the measurement for future reference or share it with others, the Building Acoustics PRO app allows you to save and export the results. You can also generate detailed reports for professional purposes.
Measuring reverberation time is now easier than ever with the Building Acoustics PRO app. By following these simple steps, you can accurately assess the acoustic properties of any room.

After a long time in the dark about remixes, NEUS come back with this version in time, surfing the vibe of the famous new song "Happy" from Pharrell Williams. Slapping bassline and picking guitars make this tune funky and chill as hell. You can feel the french touch in the air by the presence and the groove of nice synths.
NEUS and Kusty reunited forces again on this track "Pizza", a bunch of generous ingredients, big sounding bass with a frenchy touch as the producers know how to do as well.
We can can also feel this piano, funky slapping bass and various instruments as strings giving that touch more entertaining than usual. What gives this track more attractive is the fact this piece is mounted by different parts which is awesome. I'ts free so enjoy!
It's been a long time since NEUS didn't release a freebie, he finally decided to release his track "RPRST" for free, giving the access of this free download on the ALL NAKED page, to let you discover the universe and madness of his booking agency "REWIND" making the famous "ALL NAKED" parties in Paris. This track, highly anticipated in his set, has definitly made a turn into the banger's genre. First the infinite break is giving the place to an deep and heavy wobby bassline playing with stereo, bought to you by tight and jerky hats, keeping this track in a real simplicity but definitely effective.
NEUS deliver us a new E.P and dive us into a dark atmosphere and sensitive melodies as the producer seems to like.
The first track "Noises" touch another finest dimension of dark-techno and make a direct link to the previous tracks such as "Disturbia" or even "Naka o Akan".
"Cardio" is an example of what typical EDM track can be transformed into a raging and banging track to finally give some space and time to the powerfull track "Pulse" unleashing clarity, lights and friendly feels, holding you out from the darkness for a moment.
"Walking up the block" is definitely a new genre explored by the producer, trying to mix-up Reggae keys and low-pitched vocals trending to a kind of acid-dubstep.
"Side Effect" let us know more about the producer's sensibility, and his ability to work in collaborations with comprehensive artists such as his friend Kusty. On this unusual broken beat, we can hear some real recorded drums and weirdo sounds, tuned with that wooby round bass to finally give a chill melodic outro in deepest sympathy with his first try singing on a track. This will keep us waiting untill his new chill side project coming further.
As promised, the remixes version of "What is What" is out, containing the contest winner's remixes. Svenska's pick is amazingly surpising, heavy chords gives to this remix a powerfull and fresh feelings. Neobyrd made it funky with real slap bass, arpeggio synths, groovy hats, and chopped vocals. Chris Valey also suprised us with this Alternative Chill-Trap remix, heavy subs and improvised plucks. Kusty's Remix trend to a Glitch hop version explored by new sounds, organs, guitar, with an second part giving extra wobbles and adds. Crazy MT's remix is what an happy reworked version should be, he definitly putted the mood of the sound to some good feels. It's nicely did and in the end kinda close to the original.
NEUS's new release "NAKA O AKAN" surprise by the skills and new genre explored by the producer.
Naka o Akan is kickstarting with electro-techno going deep and dark kind of similar to the previous track "Disturbia".
The break gives physical chords and an intelligent melody getting high in tempo for finally unleash a big fat drop, crushing basses surrounded by 808 drums and impressive reverb claps.
Second track "Bitchin'" immerse us in a dark, fastidious Trap sound, embellished by imposing strings. The drums has been pretty well done on this side and remember us the producer still have a big potential and range about his productions.
"Haine" from the french "Hate" totally make it sense by the wickedness evolving in this last.
The strings makes it scary as fuck, followed by unsympathetic and catchy, experimental and groovy bassline. The drums mixed up with toms makes it definitely effective and danceable.
Troublemaker is such a special track, and by his construction make it really attractive. We can dicern 4 parts in this tune. The intro drop strings and clavinet to let place to a big amount of jerky basses and woobles. The primary break is making a big change in this last, piano and mysterious guitars flourishing and upcoming electronic drop varied by a persistent melody.
The "Ending" tune close this EP by the first track's theme and make it out of its dark feelings, to give a generous and happy ending.
J.A.C.K french young producer deliver us a fresh remix, low tempo, distorted bass and funky feelings in this piece. It makes us wanna dance, an artist to look forward.
Adrian gives us an experimental remix, worked in his special way, with a lot of modifications in the original sounds, trippy and deep in stereo. This is insane, this is weird, we like it.
NEON (New Era Of Noize) comes with a heavy trap remix, transforming the original as an effective, rumbling remix. A lot of rage in this one, the bassline is loud, the famous 808 sounds makes it perfect.
NEUS's new E.P has definitly made one more impressive shot in his carreer, by unique style and sounds, he brings us sweet melodies, badass drops and deliver 3 remixes from rising artists such as Savant, The Noisy Freaks or Rex The Triangle.
First track "Prelude" gives us a classical and melodious intro also played in the beginning of his sets.
"Turn It Up" get back to the previous track's theme and turn it into an absolute banger. The break is melodic and catchy, delivering a crusty bass and some various wobbles.
"Scream for Daddy" takes the same turn by a lower tempo, moombahton-ish style but temporizing in pretty epic breaks and strong built-ups. This tune finally drops some various distorded basses, wobbles and lasers.
"Loin" is clearly an exception to the rule, giving us a restful and relaxing low-tempo track. Also deep in emotions and melodies, it takes us to a divine point than the producer likes to determinate and differentiate from his banger tunes.
Savant well-known as "the multi-genres in the same track guy" fits perfectly in this EP with his various remix and his famous cheap synth in the break, turning the original tune into something unlikely and strong. (play below)
The Noisy Freaks brings us a fat dubstep remix, the producers unleash beast woobles and various drums making this a secret weapon for djs and a killer of dancefloors. (play below)
Rex The Triangle made his remix in a non-surprising way according to his funky and disco soundcloud, fits totally with the other tracks and make this E.P one of the best known from NEUS. The remix is made in a different way from the original and give this funky touch between fresh synths and finest range of drums. (play below)


Well, I know many people don't care about using sights on a gun for self defense. However, I prefer aimed fire (especially with a pocket pistol where it is easy enough to miss as it is combined with the very low magazine capacity.) And, I have not found any night sights released for the Beretta Nano yet.
I was interested in the Kimber Solo until I heard that it had reliability issues, it still doesn't have night sights available for it, and they seem to be making them at a rate slower than molasses.
As far as subcompact 9mms that are in my sights for my next purchase right now. The Sig 938 takes the cake. Night sights, 1911 trigger, ambidextrous safety, and 7+1 if you get the "extreme" version (other versions are 6+1).
If Kimber fixes the Solo and someone starts producing decent night sights for it, that might take the lead over the Sig. The fact that the Nano has no safety turns me off.
If I don't want to forget to flick the safety off, I can just leave it off and keep it in a holster. However, these are "pocket pistols" and I don't think it is too wise to have a these guys in your pocket without the safety on (IMHO).

Representatives of Human Rights Center Met Former Chairman of the Tbilisi City Court
Representatives of Human Rights Center Met Former Chairman of the Tbilisi City Court within Framework of the Survey into the New Rule of Witness Interrogation
On February 23, representatives of Human Rights Center met Mamuka Akhvlediani, former chairperson of the Tbilisi City Court. The purpose of the meeting was to get information about his February 17 interrogation in front of the judge for the interests of the ongoing survey in the witness interrogation rule. Mamuka Akhvlediani provided the representatives of Human Rights Center with the information about his interrogation in the court.
On February 17, 2016 Mamuka Akhvlediani was interrogated in front of the judge in the Tbilisi City Court in accordance to the new rule of witness interrogation. On February 16, because of mistrust to the investigation, Akhvlediani requested interrogation in front of the judge. The case refers to the illegal access to the computer system of the director general of the Rustavi 2 and illegal obtaining and dissemination of the video-recording of the personal conversation of Mamuka Akhvlediani. In accordance to the new rule, based on the solicitation of the prosecutor, considering the place of the investigation or witness’ presence, the person may be interrogated in front of the magister judge if there is a fact or/and information which may satisfy the impartial person to identify circumstances of the criminal case and if the person refuses to be interrogated by the investigative body.
Human Rights Center is surveying how the new rule of the witness interrogation is applied in practice. The new rule went in force on February 20, 2016. The first witness was questioned in accordance to this rule on February 29, 2016.
Within framework of the survey, representatives of Human Rights Center met the Public Defender of Georgia, Chairman of the Georgian Bar Association, chairwoman of the Supreme Court and head of the State Legal Service.
On February 16, the director general of the Rustavi 2 Nika Gvaramia was interrogated before the magister judge at the Tbilisi City Court; representative of Human Rights Center monitored the interrogation process. Head of the legal aid service at Human Rights Center Tamar Avaliani attended the interrogation process at the Tbilisi City Court with the status of Nika Gvaramia’s lawyer.
