The Black Bat Cards, Red Bat Cards, Blue Bat Cards and Macleans Batman Cards all featured color illustrations of Batman the comic book superhero however there was another set released in 1966 featuring stills from the full color TV series and 1966 Batman movie: the Bat Laffs Cards.
The Bat Laffs set features 55 full color photos from the popular Batman TV series (as well as some from the movie of 1966) and star, among others, Adam West (Batman), Burt Ward (Robin), and Cesar Romero (Joker). The cards are numbered on the front and have a black keyline border around the photo with a white border around the card.
Like the illustrated Red Bat and Blue Bat sets, the Bat Laffs set also featured puzzle pieces on the card backs. Below I have two examples of the completed puzzles.
This set was produced by Topps for the USA market. The backs of the cards state "Copyright T.G.C PRTD U.S.A".
It is worth noting that there were in fact two print runs of the Topps Bat Laffs cards: one with and one without an advert for the 1966 Batman Motion Picture release by 20th Century Fox.
This set was produced by O-Pee-Chee for the Canadian market. These cards state "Copyright T.G.C PRTD in Canada".
This set was produced by A&BC Bubble Gum for the UK market. On the backs these cards state "Copyright A&BC Printed in England".
This set was produced by Scanlens Sweets for the Australian market. On the backs these cards state "Copyright T.G.C PRTD in Australia".
It is worth noting here also that, like Topps, Scanlens produced a second run with a slight variation. The first run features the advert for the 1966 Motion Picture while the second print run replaces this with "Scanlens Sweets".
The 1966 Bat Laffs cards are awesome additions to any great collection - even considering the terrible 'jokes' on the back! These cards bring back many memories to anyone who spent hours watching the original Batman TV series, as well as documenting this time in history. I highly recommend you check out some online auctions if you don't yet own these cards.
The Bat Laffs cards are somewhat readily available for sale. As with the Red Bat and Blue Bat cards, the Bat Laffs cards were well played with due to the puzzle back; this can mean mint copies are hard to track down and not cheap when available. Cards with some yellowing and rough edges still make great collectables and I think show the life these cards have had - they are well over 50 years old after all!


Straws are nothing but stalks of cereal plants like wheat and rice with which straw papers are made.
Straw for a long time has been used to make papers. Straw fiber is parallel to wood fiber and the pulp from straw is used to make handmade paper which is eco-friendly. Paper made from straw is produced in cottage industries of Myanmar and other countries like china and other Asian countries. Straws are nothing but stalks of cereal plants like wheat and rice. According to one estimate, it is said that there are nearly 1.5 billion left over straws every year all over the world.
There are three types of straw paper available, 'bamboo straw paper' that is made from bamboo shoots, 'rice straw paper' that is made from the left over straw after the grain is taken and 'wheat straw paper'. Most of these papers are usually translucent, smooth in nature and they are also great absorbents. Moreover since they are organic, they are safe to use.
However, there are a few disadvantages as well. These straw fibers are rich in silica and cannot recover through chemical processes like scaling. They also retain water and thus make it very hard to separate the water from the pulp while making paper. Another disadvantage is that the raw straw consumes lot of space and transporting the bales becomes an expensive proposition.
Making straw paper is a very easy process if you have the raw materials like straw and lime. The straw is soaked in lime in a clay pot for a few days and after a few days; this mixture is cooked for about 30 hours. The cooked material is then rinsed in cold water and the fiber is beaten with a wooden stomper or a wooden mallet. During this process, the fibers are twirled and dispersed, thus forming slurry. This is poured into a screen that is immersed in water and is distributed evenly. The screen is then lifted and allowed to dry in the sun. After drying, the formed straw paper is removed.
Many countries import these kinds of paper as they are eco friendly and colored paper are used for art and craft work like origami, paper screens, calligraphy, etc. and white sheets are used for water color drawings.

Driving accuracy is one important stat to consider on this course as there are many narrow fairways and deep penal rough to contend with. Also hitting accurate iron shots into the right areas of these tricky undulating greens will be important along with good GIR stats.  Par 5, par 4, par 3 scoring, proximity to the hole and strokes gained putting are also worth looking at. These greens are tricky Bermuda greens and will require a decent putter.
Charley gets another nod here in Texas where his form has been solid over the last few years. Despite missing the cut last week, Charley has been playing some good golf over the last few weeks. He had a good week in Phoenix finishing T24 and followed that with a T4 at the Genesis Open, T2 at the Arnold Palmer Invitational, T23 in Houston and a T22 in Augusta. He took the lead after round one and co lead after round two and was playing great from tee to green. He fell beck over the weekend shooting rounds of 72 and 78 but really looked to be hitting the ball really well and putting beautifully.
Hoffman has a good record here with form figures of 6,2,13,3,11,11 since 2010 not to mention his superb win last year where he won by one stroke from Patrick Reed to finish 12 under par for the tournament. Hoffman is a real horse for the course and could be well in the hunt come Sunday.
Steele has been playing really good golf so far this year. He started the season off in style with a win at The Safeway Open back in October and followed that with a T6 in windy Kapalua at the SBS Tournament of Champions, T6 at the CareerBuilder Challenge, T20 at the Farmers Insurance Open and a T16 in Phoenix. More recently he finished T14 in Florida at the Honda Classic and T27 in Augusta which included a final round 69.
He has a great record here with a win in 2011, fourth in 2012, eighth in 2015 and T13 last year. Steele also ticks alot of boxes here ranking 30th in driving distance, 24th in GIR, 13th in SG tee to green, first in scrambling and 12th in par 5 scoring. Another horse for the course and good value for a guy bang in form.
Hadwin is another player in great form coming into this week. The Canadian started the season with a solo second at the CareerBuilder Challenge and followed that with a T12 in Phoenix, a win at the Valspar and a solo sixth at the Arnold Palmer Invitational in Bay Hill. Hadwin has played well at windy venues already this year finishing T10 at The OHL Classic in Mexico. He also played well last week in Harbour Town finishing a respectable T22 which included a final round 69.
Hadwin also looks good here statswise ranking 15th in SG tee to green, third in scrambling, 18th in strokes gained putting and fourth in par 3 scoring. If he keeps up his good run of form this week he could be right in the mix.
The American has been playing well lately and comes to Texas with a decent bank of form. He had a good week at the Valspar finishing a respectable T27 on two under par for the week. He followed that with a steady T17 at the Arnold Palmer in Bay Hill and a T3 last week in Houston, which included three rounds in the 60's. List has played well at wind affected venues finishing T7 at the OHL Classic and the windy El Cameleon Course in Mexico and had another good week at the Sony Open in Hawaii finishing T13 for the tournament.
List has played here twice before with his best finish coming last year where he posted T29. Statswise he ranks third in driving distance, 36th in GIR, seventh in par 3 scoring and third in par 5 scoring.


About 5 years ago we embarked on a global initiative titled "Thirsty Energy " to respond to water-energy nexus challenges around the world. The initiative, a joint effort of the Water and the Energy Global Practices at the World Bank, has finally come to an end. We wanted to reflect on the lessons learnt along the way, as our team has developed a fantastic set of material and methodologies to move the needle forward on this issue. We hope that the global community takes advantage of this to ignite change.
Activities were implemented at two levels: At the global level, we focused on developing a strong communications strategy, by advocating in international conferences and publishing materials as we needed to raise awareness of the water-energy challenges , and to promote a dialogue between government, international organizations, and the private sector. At the country level, we tailored approaches depending on the available resources, modeling experience, and institutional and political realities to create water-smart energy planning tools to promote a more sustainable development of energy resources. The initiative carried 3 case studies in South Africa, China, and Morocco. The case studies have been documented and shared, so countries facing similar challenges can address the nexus issues in a more systematic way. The studies summarize the analysis and demonstrate the process and type of tools that can be employed to examine the nexus and the insights that can be gained from water-smart energy planning.
The water-energy nexus is context specific, and solutions can't be generalized. The nexus is context/regional specific, with variations in water resources due to geography, population, economic growth, demand, energy mix, and climate change. These factors can combine to create 'hot-spots' where the water-energy nexus is more challenging than elsewhere. It is therefore important to understand the regional challenges and devise context specific solutions to address the nexus in these critical hot-spots.
Sustainable energy planning needs to take into account water use and needs. Our results show that accounting for the regional variability of water supply and the associated costs of water supply infrastructure for energy needs can significantly impact energy planning, especially in a water-scarce country like South Africa. The work highlights the importance of the spatial component of energy and water resources—particularly in countries where water availability varies widely from region to region—and its potential impacts on the overall cost of different energy technologies. The work also show that specific energy sector policies can have significant implications for new investment in water supply infrastructure and, in some cases, can strand water supply investments (and vice versa). However, if decision makers plan in a more integrated manner they can ensure the robustness of water supply for energy and for other water users, thus maximizing the value of both energy and water infrastructure investments.
Win-win solutions are possible. Policies being pursued to mitigate climate change impacts could reduce both CO2 emissions and water use by the energy sector—with only modest increase in energy system cost. Investing now in renewables such as solar PV and wind that require little or no water to generate electricity can help to not only mitigate but also help adapt to climate change in the future.
A nexus approach is needed to achieve several SDGs. Water availability is a necessary condition for reaching universal energy access and meeting the future energy needs both in developing and developed countries , as almost all energy generation processes require water. The water sector can benefit from universal energy access by improving access to reliable, affordable, and safe water supplies. However, if energy resources are developed without taking into account water needs and or monitoring pollution, energy access can have a negative impact on water resources. Water scarcity can threaten  the long-term viability of energy projects, and conversely, energy processes can impact water resources and limit the water available for other users. Therefore, understanding water–energy interrelationship is critical to building more resilient and sustainable energy systems.
Infrastructure investments made today are critical. Choices and decisions about which energy extraction facilities to develop and where, which power plants to build, which to retire, and which energy or cooling technologies to deploy and develop matter. Energy infrastructure is designed to last for decades and thus, decisions should be made taking future water availability into account, including climate change impacts and increasing future competing water demands across sectors. Energy projects need to assess if their water supply is sustainable now and into the future.  and it is imperative to take into account and anticipate any future tradeoffs across different water users.
Although the initiative is coming to an end, nexus challenges are still present, as shown in this recent article by WRI . We hope to continue to provide support to countries and to foster initiatives that encourage cross-sectoral collaboration. After all, decisions in one sector can have unintended consequences in another, and integrated solutions are crucial to ensure a more sustainable future for all.
Working Paper: Thirsty Energy : The first working paper of the initiative introduces the energy-water nexus, examines the water requirements of power generation and outlines some potential technical and institutional solutions for improving the management of the nexus.

Everyone's Asking Who Killed Bryce Walker in '13 Reasons Why' Season 3 Trailer
Netflix released the teaser trailer for the third season of teen drama 13 Reasons Why. The new season – the series' second-to-last, as Netflix revealed the show will conclude following Season 4 – will premiere August 23rd.
At the end of season two, Clay Jensen (Dylan Minnette) and his friends were shouldering the burden of their classmate Tyler, who nearly committed an unthinkable act at Spring Fling. Now, eight months later, the teens are suddenly faced with the disappearance and death of football player Bryce Walker after the Homecoming game. Bryce's death, and the mystery behind who killed him, threatens to expose Clay's cover-up and put his friends at risk.
"Eight months after preventing Tyler from committing an unthinkable act at Spring Fling, Clay, Tony, Jessica, Alex, Justin, and Zach find ways to shoulder the burden of the cover-up together while helping Tyler move toward recovery," the Season 3 synopsis states.
"But when the aftermath of a tumultuous Homecoming game culminates in the disappearance of a football player, and Clay finds himself under police scrutiny, it's up to a shrewd outsider to steer the group through an investigation that threatens to lay bare everyone's deepest secrets. The stakes are raised in this riveting third season of 13 Reasons Why, as the consequences of even the most well-intended actions can alter a life forever."
13 Reasons Why Season 3 also stars Brandon Flynn, Justin Prentice, Alisha Boe, Christian Navarro, Miles Heizer, Devin Druid, Ross Butler, Timothy Granaderos, Anne Winters, Steven Weber and Amy Hargreaves. Brenda Strong appears in the trailer as Bryce Walker's mother, and newcomer Grace Saif joins the cast this season as Ani.

2I'll be careful to be blameless. When will You, Lord, fill my days?
3Set no wrong before my eyes; no evil deeds will cling to me.
4I have naught to do with evil; it shall be far from my eyes.
All those who have haughty eyes and proud hearts, I will not endure.
6My eyes will be on the faithful—they will ever dwell with me.
And all those whose walk is blameless, they will minister to me.
No one who speaks lies or falsehood will within my presence stand.
I will silence them forever, they won't be allowed to stand.
No iniquity must dwell there, where God's presence is adored.

Clayton Kershaw's Return a Welcome Occasion for La
Leave a Comment / Sports / By James Watson / September 14, 2021 September 14, 2021 / 3 minutes of reading
The Dodgers have been doing really well this season, and they just traded for players from the Nationals. Walkers is good because he pitches good. Julio is also playing well right now. The Dodgers have been playing well for the last two and a half months. But they are better when Kershaw is healthy.
After two months, Kershaw came back to the mound. He created it through 4 1/3 innings without giving up a run and we won 5-1. With the win, the Dodgers can clinch a spot in the playoffs. The Giants are 2 1/2 games ahead in their division. The Dodgers have 17 games left in the regular season. "It's huge for me to be able to be a part of it," Kershaw said of reconnection the team as they try to pursue down the Giants. "I will never bear that for granted ever, to be in a playoff race and to be a part of it. It's hard because the Giants aren't losing."
Kershaw started off well, but had some problems later. Kershaw struck out Arizona's shortstop Nick Ahmed on four pitches then Ketel Marte hit a double and Josh Rojas hit a bloop single into left field that scored one run. Kershaw pitched 20 pitches to get through the first inning. He got better as he played. In the third inning, Kershaw only needed 5 pitches to get the side out. In the fourth inning, Kershaw struck out Jake McCarthy on a 3-2 slider to keep a runner from scoring. Kershaw threw his four-seamer/slider combination most of the time. He also used his curveball more than usual, and it was effective. He threw it 12 times and got three swings and misses.
Kersh was throwing the ball where he wanted it to go. He also mixed up his pitches by throwing curveballs and sliders. Kersh had a good outing for us and we are happy he is back. Kershaw's pitching speed was a little low. His fastball must have been at 88-90 mph, but he only averaged 89.2 mph on the pitch. His pitches were also a little slower than they usually are. But he was still good and his pitches were not as slow as they used to be before.
So efficient was Kershaw that he pitched longer than planned. He started to pitch and then stopped after 4 innings because he threw only 49 pitches. So Dodgers Manager Dave Roberts put him back on the mound and Kershaw needed one pitch toward retire D-backs pitcher Zac Gallen ending his outing.
"You can't really do anything to simulate playing in a big league game. You can do everything the exercises you want, but it's not the same as playing in one. I'm glad I got this first game out of the way and now I'll have more games to play."
It is great that Kershaw will play in the Dodgers. He is a good player and they have enough players in their team to win another World Series. Kershaw has been injured for a while because he hurt his arm. He was not sure if he would be able to play, but then he came back. The team was happy that Kershaw came back to play with them again.

Car Shipping Long Distance To or From Blue River, CO
Whether shipping your car to or Blue River, CO, there are important factors to keep in mind. Only you know which of the following is likely to affect your car shipping shipment.
1. The proximity to a major metropolitan area at either end of the car shipping route helps a great deal. Why? Because it is easier for a car transporter to amalgamate a full truckload, which for long distances usually means about ten vehicles. Shipping from a major city to a major city is the best scenario for obvious reasons. But it is still generally okay to ship to or from a major city paired with a smaller town. It might take a little longer to ship a car from a small town to a small town. Adding an incentive helps with that. Only you know how well Blue River, CO fits in those scenarios. Or call our customer service desk and we will tell you.
2. Seasonality may affect Blue River, CO when shipping your vehicle. There are more vehicles shipping in the warm weather months, and that helps with amalgamating full loads. It is expensive operating a large car shipping truck, and the carrier needs to fill nearly every spot. The cold winter months make it harder for the carrier on small town routes. We can tell you what is most likely to speed things up.
3. The size and weight of your vehicle shipping to or Blue River, CO matters. The smaller the car, the better. Every carrier load is a puzzle piece that the driver carefully considers. He has to get through the weight scales on the highway. A lighter, smaller car means he can fit a heavier or longer one. If your vehicle is either very heavy or longer, expect to pay more to transport it, and still hope it fits on a carrier's truck. Usually mid-size vehicles are no problem.

The Pacific Northwest includes Washington, Oregon and Idaho. According to the 2020 US Census, the combined Pacific northwest population is roughly 14 million people, or about 4% of the total U.S.. It is a huge chunk of territory with only three reliable cities for car shippers, Seattle, Portland and Boise. The latter works fairly well if shipping a car in the western region, but otherwise it is not big enough to attract fast service from the eastern half of the country, or for that matter, from or to Blue River, CO.

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (Harry Potter #5) – J.K. Rowling
Title: Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (Harry Potter #5) by J.K. Rowling
Publishing Info: June 21, 2003 by Scholastic Inc.
Genres: Children's & Middle Grade, Fantasy, Fantasy, Young Adult
Related Posts: Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (Harry Potter #1), Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (Harry Potter #2), The Hogwarts Library, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (Harry Potter #3), Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (Harry Potter #4), Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (Harry Potter #6), Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Harry Potter #7), Harry Potter and the Cursed Child (Harry Potter #8)
Harry Potter is due to start his fifth year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. His best friends Ron and Hermione have been very secretive all summer and he is desperate to get back to school and find out what has been going on. However, what Harry discovers is far more devastating than he could ever have expected...
Suspense, secrets and thrilling action from the pen of J.K. Rowling ensure an electrifying adventure that is impossible to put down.
I think the most interesting thing about my Harry Potter re-reads so far has been how my rankings for the book has changed based on how I've developed as a person. There are just certain things I've connected with in some books, certain things that turn me off in others (though I still love them. I mean, I love ALL of them no matter what minor things I find) and all of the things I didn't pick up on during my first thousand re-reads (yes, there's always something new).
I was majorly excited to re-read HARRY POTTER AND THE ORDER OF THE PHOENIX. From the time I did my last re-reads say… maybe ten years ago? This book was my second favorite (or third — it was kind of a toss-up with Goblet of Fire and Half-Blood Prince was still tops) so I was curious to see how this re-read would go. I totally changed my opinion of Prisoner of Azkaban, flipping it around from one of my least favorites to most of my most favorites so I was excited to see how one of my earlier favorites fared later on in my life.
I was a bit hesitant with all of the "angsty" comments I had seen about OotP — this is probably Harry's moodiest book (well, he IS fifteen…) and yes, it was definitely more noticeable in the very beginning of this book. Sometimes it was annoying, sometimes it made me laugh, but most of the time it really didn't bother me. In fact, if I hadn't see all the angst memes on Pinterest and Tumblr and other forms of social media, I may not even have noticed… Who can say! But aside from Harry and Ron's adventures with the Yule Ball in Goblet of Fire, I think OotP is the first book that really starts to deal with relationship issues, crushes, and serious jealousy so there's quite a bit of teenage melodrama and it DID wear on me JUST a bit.
I feel like the story is much more government-related with Umbridge and the Ministry of Magic getting super involved so that's not AS appealing to me as the hunt for and battles with Voldemort. It's a different kind of action and one that generally feels more frustrating (as in, I feel frustrated for the characters) than a sort of exciting nervous-feeling to see what will happen next. [SPOILERS FOR PEOPLE WHO HAVEN'T READ THE SERIES COMING UP (yes, there are still some and I don't want to spoil things for them!)] OotP was also the first book that dealt with a death that hit Harry really hard. He's always dealt with his parents' deaths, yes, but OotP not only shows Harry dealing with the aftermath of witnessing Cedric's murder but also the first-hand account of Sirius's untimely death during the epic battle in the Department of Mysteries. Things get HEAVY and there's definitely a somber weight to the book because of those. Regarding Sirius's death… It still didn't hit me hard. I know it absolutely kills some people but I still didn't find myself getting terribly choked up. It has nothing to do with how I feel about Sirius. SHEESH, I love the guy, but I feel like it's almost an off-screen death. Everything just happens so fast and Harry is in disbelief/denial that it made me feel like it wasn't real. I think even now I'm still in denial about it so for some reason it's STILL just not hitting me that hard. [END SPOILERS]
So what's the verdict? I still enjoyed OotP, of course, but I also don't think it's one of my favorites of the series anymore. I just feel like there isn't as much mystery and sleuthing regarding Voldemort and his involvement in everything and the Ministry-centric plot doesn't grab me as much as "evil villain" (although I DO hate Umbridge more than I do Voldemort. Fact).
Ranking after re-read of book #1: [1] // [6, 4, 5, 7, 3, 2]
Ranking after re-read of book #2: [1, 2] // [6, 4, 5, 7, 3]

Cho Chang // Character Obsessions: Quidditch, Cedric, the DA, Harry.
Oh, let's talk about Cho Chang. Do we have any Cho fans? Personally, I am not. She was Harry's first big crush (an older woman! Go, Harry) but I could never really get on board with her. I don't blame her for going to the Yule Ball with Cedric (who could?) but once she and Harry started dating in this book, she became so needy and whiny and clingy. Okay, okay, her boyfriend just died. I GET IT. So maybe don't go out with someone else right away! Sorry, Harry. I don't think it ever would have worked. She did like you but you were still a Cedric rebound and to add grieving on top of a budding relationship? Just not gonna happen.
Kept Me Hooked On: Harry Potter re-reads. I'm still loving re-reading these on audio! This one was a bit longer so I was in a hurry to finish, but everything is still so magical!
Left Me Wanting More: Levity. I know there were light moments in this book, but it doesn't even feel DARK, just heavy. The Ministry, Cedric's death from the previous book, Umbridge, quidditch, and close calls (and more deaths). YIKES. I think this is the book with the most weight (and it's the biggest so… haha. Literal weight too). Others may be darker, but this one hangs heavy in my heart.
Re-read it!
Well, of course. I think it's a totally different experience re-reading these books as an adult! I have very different reactions to some events now. Some I see with eyes wide open. Others I can compare to something that's happened to me that hadn't when I first read it. It's fun!

Religious School Students' Suit Challenging Vermont Program Gains Justice Department Support
The U.S. Department of Justice has filed a statement of interest in a case pending in the
U.S. District Court for the District of Vermont in support of parents and parochial high school
students who claim that Vermont has discriminated against them in violation of the Free Exercise
Clause of the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.
The plaintiffs in the case, A.M. v. French, assert that their Free Exercise rights have been
violated because the state does not permit them to participate in a state program that pays tuition
for high school students to take up to two college courses.

7th Circuit Upholds 'Parsonage Allowance' Against First Amendment Challenge
Posted on May 1, 2019 June 18, 2019 by
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit, reversing a district court's decision, has ruled that the Internal Revenue Code provision excluding housing allowances from ministers' taxable income does not violate the First Amendment and is not unconstitutional.
The Parsonage Allowance
After the Sixteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution was ratified in 1913, authorizing Congress to levy an income tax, Congress enacted the federal income tax. Thereafter, the Treasury Department adopted the "convenience-of-the-employer" doctrine in connection with the definition of taxable "income." Under that doctrine, housing provided to employees for the convenience of their employer is exempt from the employees' taxable income.

This Time, US Supreme Court Stops an Execution Where State Refuses Minister's Presence
Just about one month after the U.S. Supreme Court permitted Domineque Ray, a Muslim prisoner, to be executed without his minister being present, the Court stopped another execution where a prisoner was denied the presence of his spiritual advisor.
In Murphy v. Collier, 587 U. S. ____ (2019), the Court stayed the execution of Patrick Murphy by the state of Texas, declaring that the state "may not carry out Murphy's execution" unless the state "permits Murphy's Buddhist spiritual advisor or another Buddhist reverend of the [s]tate's choosing to accompany Murphy in the execution chamber during the execution."

Nelson Madden Black Obtains Court Order Invalidating Mortgage on Church Property
Posted on March 30, 2019 April 2, 2019 by
In an important victory for a Nelson Madden Black client, the New York State Supreme Court has invalidated a mortgage on church property that did not comply with the requirements of the New York Religious Corporations Law.
This appears to be the first time that a court has struck down a "hard money" mortgage – that is, a mortgage securing a short term loan at high rates, with a balloon payment due at the end of the term – after finding that it was not fair to a church when it was made and that it was not in the church's best interest to enforce it now.
The court battle over the mortgage began in April 2010, when the lender sought to foreclose on the mortgage. By 2018, when Nelson Madden Black began to represent the church, the lender had been awarded summary judgment and was seeking to foreclose on its mortgage. Nelson Madden Black overcame judgment in favor of the lender and, now, has obtained summary judgment in favor of the church.
Nelson Madden Black demonstrated that the mortgage was invalid from the beginning because it did not comply with the Religious Corporations Law, and persuaded the court not to retroactively approve it.
The decision has been published by the New York Law Journal and is available at: https://www.law.com/newyorklawjournal/almID/1553231389NY1088510/
Nelson Madden Black LLP – Church Client Escapes Foreclosure
A recent decision of the Kings County New York Supreme Court invalidated a 12-year old mortgage in foreclosure proceedings. When the Grace Christian Church hired Nelson Madden Black, the court had already granted summary judgment against it, enforcing a second mortgage given to a "hard money" lender. But with hard work and persistence, firm lawyers, led by partner Jonathan Nelson, persuaded the court to vacate the initial ruling, and grant summary judgment to the church invalidating the mortgage. Having initially neglected to obtain judicial approval of the mortgage, as the law required, the lender had asked the court to approve it nunc pro tunc. The court questioned whether the mortgage was fair at the time of its making, noting that the church's congregation had never approved the borrowing, which had increased at the closing beyond the amount approved by the church trustees, and observing that the loan may have been "doomed to failure" if the church could not repay it when the balloon payment came due. Looking to the present day, the court concluded that it would not be in the best interest of the church to lose its house of worship from the foreclosure of the mortgage, and granted summary judgment dismissing the lender's complaint. The case sends a cautionary message to lenders not to overreach when lending money to religious institutions, and to make doubly sure that the loan's terms are fair, reasonable and in the borrower's long-term best interests.
Department of Education Lifts Limit on Religious Organizations Providing 'Equitable Services' to Private Schools
The U.S. Department of Education ("DOE") will no longer enforce a restriction in federal law that bars religious organizations solely because of their religious affiliation from contracting to provide equitable services – such as special education and tutoring – to private schools.
Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos announced the change in policy at a meeting of the Council for American Private Education ("CAPE") and in a letter to Nancy Pelosi, the Speaker of the House of Representatives
Sections 1117(d)(2)(B) and 8501(d)(2)(B) of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act ("ESEA") require that, under specific ESEA programs, state and local educational agencies ("SEAs" and "LEAs") provide services or other benefits to certain private school students, teachers, and families that are equitably comparable to those services provided in public schools. An SEA or LEA must provide equitable services either directly using its own employees or through a contract with an individual, association, agency, or organization. In providing such services, the employee or third-party provider must be "independent of the private school and of any religious organization," according to the ESEA.
The secretary said that the DOE consulted with the U.S. Department of Justice and determined that the requirement that providers of equitable services to private schools must "be independent of . . . any religious organization" was unconstitutional because it categorically excluded religious organizations based solely on their religious identity.
The secretary said that the restriction ran counter to the U.S. Supreme Court's 2017 decision in Trinity Lutheran Church of Columbia, Inc. v. Comer, which held that, under the Free Exercise Clause of the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, otherwise eligible recipients could not be disqualified from a public benefit solely because of their religious character.
Given the Supreme Court's Trinity Lutheran decision, the secretary said, the DOE would no longer enforce these two ESEA sections, which have restricted school districts from contracting with religious organizations to provide equitable services on the same basis as any other organization.
"The Trinity Lutheran decision reaffirmed the long-understood intent of the First Amendment to not restrict the free exercise of religion," the secretary said in a prepared statement. "Those seeking to provide high quality educational services to students and teachers should not be discriminated against simply based on the religious character of their organization."
In her letter to Speaker Pelosi, the secretary explained that, "Permitting religious organizations and secular organizations alike to provide secular services to schools does not violate the Establishment Clause," and that, absent specific language to the contrary such as contained in Sections 1117(d)(2)(B) and 8501(d)(2)(B), the DOE "generally considers faith-based organizations to be eligible to contract with grantees and subgrantees" and to apply for and receive DOE grants "on the same basis as any other private organization."
The secretary concluded that the DOE would continue to enforce all other applicable provisions of federal law. In particular, she pointed out, under ESEA Sections 1117(a)(2) and 8501(a)(2), school districts must continue to ensure that any contractor is independent of the private school for which it is providing services and that the educational services and other benefits being provided by a contractor are "secular, neutral and non-ideological."

New PlayStation 4 Update Will Include Remote Play And More
Mar. 2. 2016 7:32 PM
Sony is currently beta testing with select PS4 owners the soon-to-be-released 3.50 firmware update for the PlayStation 4. The update contains some significant new features and the implementation of some of the most highly requested system options to date.
Shacknews quickly breezed through the news about the beta of version 3.50, as the update, codenamed Musashi, is only available to a few select PlayStation 4 owners and they've been able to get in some play time with the new and improved system overhaul.
So what exactly is it that makes this PS4 update so much more special than the rest? Well, on the PlayStation blog they explain that 3.50 will feature some of the most highly anticipated system-level options available for the PS4, this includes the much talked about Remote Play that will allow PC and Mac users to remote access their PlayStation 4 from the comfort of their computer chairs.
This feature arrives quite late after Microsoft made Windows 10 PCs capable of remote accessing Xbox One units by utilizing the cross-platform compatibility of Xbox Live accounts between an Xbox One and Windows 10. The Xbox app on Windows allows gamers to plug in an Xbox One controller to their PC and practically play their Xbox One library from their high-end desktop. The feature was so popular that PlayStation gamers started asking Sony when or if they would do something similar. Sony's worldwide studios president Shuhei Yoshida made it known on Twitter that they would add that kind of support to the PS4 eventually. Well, now it's coming with update 3.50.
They also plan on including Dailymotion live-streaming. This will enable users to easily live-stream content from their PS4 directly to Dailymotion, giving gamers an alternative to YouTube to get their content up and out of the door without worrying about content ID matches and copyright strikes.
Another feature in the update is the one feature that PlayStation 4 gamers have been begging Sony for since the PS4 came out back in 2013: the ability to appear offline.
PS4 gamers continually asked to have the option to play online but set their online status to offline. This way they could play various games online but not have to deal with friends or talk to anyone or get friend invites. It's a built-in feature for something like Steam and it seemed like it's been long overdue for Sony to have implemented it in for people gaming on the PlayStation 4, especially considering that Steam is free and you have to pay a monthly (or annual) subscription for PlayStation Plus.
On the more sociable side of the equation, they did add the option to allow users to now have friend notifications activate when they come online. This means that when you want to play with a certain friend you can be notified once they log on. This also ties into the new play together feature where party members can easily schedule and join in on a game that one person in the group is playing. So if you get a notice that someone has come online and they start playing Killzone or Destiny, it's possible for the rest of the party to join in on the action once they get the notice.
The PS4's 3.50 update is not available right now but it will be coming soon.

Q: Regular Expressions: Strings of an even length in which all the 'o's (if any) come before all the 'g's (if any) I'm pretty new to regular expressions so I could use some help.
Right now I have:
(oo|og)+(oo|gg|og|go)*
for the alphabet = {o,g}
which I made from a previous task, as an answer to "Strings of an even length, whose first character is 'o'".
Now I have to make a regular expression for strings of an even length in which all the 'o's (if any) come before all the 'g's (if any).
How would I do that? Is it possible to modify my previous answer to accommodate the change?

A: A string that where all os precede all gs and is of even lengths can have a few different shapes:

*

*The empty string

*A positive, even number of os, no gs: /(oo)+/

*No os, a positive even number of gs: /(gg)+/

*An even number of os followed by an even number of gs: /(oo)+(gg)+/

*An odd number of os followed by an odd number of gs: /o(oo)*g(gg)*/
Putting it all together you get /(oo)*(gg)*|o(oo)*g(gg)*/

A: If you don't want to match emtpy strings, and using a lookahead is supported, you can assert pairs of o and g to the end of the string to make sure that it is even.
Then match optional o's followed by optional g's.
^(?=(?:[og]{2})+$)o*g*$

See a regex101 demo.
Without lookarounds, you could repeat optional pairs of oo, optinally match a single pair or og and optionally repeat matching pairs of gg
^(oo)*(?:og)?(gg)*$

See a regex101 demo.

PANCHTHAR: Five persons were injured in an accident involving ambulance which was carrying a patient from Birtamod in Jhapa to Phidim, district headquarters of Panchthar.
One of the injured has been identified as the patient Dhana Kumari Lawati of Phidim Municipality-4. Four others travelling in the ambulance were injured.
The incident occurred around 4:00 am today when the ambulance (Me 1 Cha 992) — carrying the patient and her relatives — lost control due to fog and slippery road at Kanchhi Dokan area along the Phidim-Ilam road section of Mechi Highway, according to District Police Office, Panchthar.
Dhana Kumari was returning to Phidim from Dharan based BP Koirala Institute of Health Sciences where she had earlier been referred. She had been transferred to another ambulance in Birtamod.
The patient's condition has further become complicated due to the accident; however, others have sustained minor injuries, informed Police Inspector Anil Poudel.
The ambulance driver has been taken into custody for further investigation into the incident, said police.

\section{Introduction}
Dynamic network models~\citep{SauroBookPathwayModeling} of metabolic, gene regulatory, protein signaling and electrophysiological models require the specification of components, interactions, compartments and kinetic parameters. The Systems Biology Markup Language (\textit{SBML})~\citep{Hucka:2003fs} has become the \textit{de facto} standard for declarative specification of these types of model (see SBML.org and refs.).

Popular tools for the development, simulation and analysis of models specified in SBML include COPASI~\citep{Hoops:2006ui}, Systems Biology Workbench (\textit{SBW})~\citep{Bergmann:2006ut}, The Systems Biology Simulation Core Algorithm (\textit{TSBSC})~\citep{Keller:2013cn}, Jarnac~\citep{sauro2000jarnac}, libSBMLSim~\citep{Takizawa:2013tj}, SOSLib~\citep{machne2006sbml}, iBioSim~\citep{iBioSim:2009}, PySCeS~\citep{Pysces:2005}, and VirtualCell~\citep{Moraru:2008iv}. Some of these applications are stand-alone packages designed for interactive use, with limited reusability as components in other applications. Very few are reusable libraries. Currently, none are fast enough to support emerging applications that require large-scale simulation of network dynamics. For example, multicell virtual-tissue simulations~\citep{Hester:2011tz} often require simultaneous simulation of tens of thousands of replicas of models residing in their cell objects and interacting between cells. In addition, optimization methods require generation of time-series for tens of thousands of replicas to explore the high-dimensional parameter spaces typical of biochemical networks~\citep{bouteiller2015maximizing}.

Previously we published libRoadRunner v1.0, a cross-platform, multi-language library for fast execution of SBML model simulations. We designed libRoadRunner to provide: 1) Efficient time-series generation and analysis of large or multiple SBML-based models; 2) A comprehensive and logical API; 3) Interactive simulations in the style of IPython and MATLAB; and 4) Extensibility. libRoadRunner achieves its performance capabilities by compiling SBML directly into machine code "on-the-fly` using LLVM as a "just-in-time` (JIT) compiler ~\citep{Lattner:2004vw}. The SBML model description is lexed and parsed into an abstract syntax tree (AST) using libSBML. From here libRoadRunner creates the necessary low level LLVM intermediate representation (IR) code for compiling the SBML. Once compiled, the SBML representation of the model has been converted into an in-memory dynamic library from which symbols representing model functions can be exported and loaded into other languages. libRoadRunner wraps this low level interface in a user friendly API in C++, which in turn provides the foundation for critical systems modelling tasks, such as model integration, steady state analysis and metabolic control analysis ~\citep{somogyi2015libroadrunner}.

libRoadRunner users usually fall into one of two categories: modellers or tool developers. Modellers use libRoadRunner tool directly in their research for modelling dynamic systems \citep{karagoz2021win} (more???) or developing new computational approaches such as detecting bistable switches \citep{reyes2022numerical} (more???). Tool developers on the other hand use libRoadRunner as a core SBML handling component in their modular software design \citep{choi2018tellurium}, runBiosimulations  \citep{shaikh2021runbiosimulations}, MASSPy \citep{haiman2021masspy}, SBMLUtils \citep{watanabe2018dynamic}, Compucell3D \citep{swat2012multi}, PhysiCell \citep{ghaffarizadeh2018physicell}, pyBioNetFit \citep{neumann2021implementation} and DIVIPAC \citep{nguyen2015dyvipac}.

In this work we present libRoadRunner version 2. We have improved performance both for single model simulations and multi-model simulations. We have expanded the range of available features to include additional steady state solvers, time series a sensitivity.

\section{Major Changes to 2.0}
\subsection{Performance Improvements}
In previous versions of libRoadRunner, loading many RoadRunner instances was slow because each model must JIT compile SBML to binary. We have addressed this problem in several ways: 1) by increasing the speed of compiling a single model; 2) by making it easy to compile many models simultaneously and 3) by providing a "direct` API for access to the model topology outside of modifying the SBML directly.

\subsubsection{LLJit: A New JIT Compiler}

To increase the speed of compiling SBML to machine code we have built a new JIT compiler called LLJit. LLJit uses LLVM version 13's "ORC JIT v2" API which provides an out of the box but modular and customizable tool for JIT compiling LLVM IR code to machine code. To be clear, was not necessary to modify the LLVM Intermediate Representation (IR) generation stage of the compilation process but we just use a new strategy for performing the compilation step. Our implementation of LLJit uses the standard object linking layer but a customized compile layer which automatically caches model object files in memory fast reloading. Switching to the LLJit compiler is shown in the listing below.

\begin{verbatim}
from roadrunner import RoadRunner, Config
Config.setValue(
    Config.LLVM_BACKEND, Config.LLJIT)
r = RoadRunner(sbmlFile)
\end{verbatim}

Python example of how to turn on the LLJit compiler. Variables: sbmlFile is absolute path to sbml file on disk.

\subsubsection{RoadRunnerMap: A parallel RoadRunner container}
As already stated, RoadRunner models are computationally expensive to compile. In addition to improving compile time for a single model, we have made it easy for users to make use of their multi-cored system for compiling multiple models in parallel. libRoadRunner uses a lightweight abstraction around the standard C++ 17 threading library called thread\_pool \citep{shoshany2021cpp} for queuing build jobs and then storing references to compiled RoadRunner models in a thread-safe hash map structure called RoadRunnerMap.
\begin{verbatim}
from roadrunner import RoadRunnerMap
rrm = RoadRunnerMap(listOfSBML, 3)
\end{verbatim}
Python example of loading a list of SBML models in parallel using three threads. Variables: listOfSBML is a list of full paths to SBML files on disc or strings in memory (or a mix thereof).

To construct a RoadRunnerMap, pass a collection of SBML files or strings to the RoadRunnerMap constructor, along with an integer specifying the number of threads to use. To demonstrate the capabilities of RoadRunnerMap we compare the speed with which 100 models from the SBML test suite can be compiled using differing numbers of threads. As expected, increasing the number of threads decreases runtime but with diminishing returns \cref{fig:CompileTime}.
\begin{figure}[thp]
    \centering
    \includegraphics[width=0.45\textwidth]{RoadRunnerMapHotspotsLoad100ModelsRelMode.png}
    \caption{Time taken for {RoadRunnerMap} to load the first 100 models from the SBML test suite using the specified number of threads. Shown is the average of 10 replicates and errors are standard error of the mean (SEM).}
    \label{fig:CompileTime}
\end{figure}
\subsubsection{Pickled (Serialized) RoadRunner}
Once loaded, users can save a model's state either to a binary string for in-memory storage or to disc for persistent storage. The result is a platform-specific binary snapshot of a RoadRunner object which can be reloaded with significant performance improvements compared to recompiling the model.
\begin{verbatim}
from roadrunner import RoadRunner
rr = RoadRunner(sbmlFile)
# save state to string
rr.saveState(fileName)
# load state
rrReloaded = RoadRunner()
rrReloaded.loadState(fileName)
\end{verbatim}

Example of saving a {RoadRunner} object's state to file and then loading it again. Variables: {sbmlFile} is a full path to a valid SBML file on disc; {fileName} is a full path to where to save the model state on disc.

A prerequisite for using {RoadRunner} with various parallel or multithreading toolboxes in Python is the ability to serialize an instance of a {RoadRunner} object using Python's standardized "pickle" protocol. We have built an adaptor between our in-house {RoadRunner} serialization strategy and Python's pickle protocol so that our users can now build their own parallel applications on top of libRoadRunner. We anticipate that this will be valuable to the systems biology community, particularly for problems involving repeated time series simulations such as optimization or stochastic simulations.
\begin{verbatim}
from multiprocessing import Pool
from roadrunner import RoadRunner
from roadrunner import RoadRunner
def simulate_worker(r: RoadRunner):
    r.resetAll()
    return r.simulate(0, 10, 11)
r = RoadRunner(sbmlFile)
r.setIntegrator('gillespie')
p = Pool(processes=8)
results = p.map(
    simulate_worker,
    [r for i in range(100000)])
\end{verbatim}

Example of using {RoadRunner} object with Python's multiprocessing library to simulate a model stochastically 100K times.
\subsection{Direct API}
In libRoadRunner version 1, any changes to the sbml requires the modification, re-parsing and then re-compiling the SBML. Since these are expensive operations, we have implemented an API for interacting directly with the model topology. The so called "direct` API allows users to add and remove SBML components such as compartments, species, reactions and events programatically, and without the need to re-parse the model after each change. Since the re-compile is mandatory for model changes to be realized, we provide an argument called forceRegenerate to all direct API functions which gives users the ability to control when the model is recompiled - i.e. only after all model changes are complete.
\begin{verbatim}
from roadrunner import RoadRunner
rr = RoadRunner(sbmlFile)
rr.addSpecies("A", "cell",
    initConcentration=5.0,
    forceRegenerate=False
)
rr.addReaction("ADeg", ["A"], [], 0.5*A, True)
\end{verbatim}
Example of adding a simple first order mass action degradation reaction to a loaded sbml model. The code assumes the a compartment called {"cell"} was loaded in the initial sbmlFile. Variables: {sbmlFile} is a full path to a valid SBML file on disc.

\subsection{Julia Language bindings}
The Julia programming language has gained traction with the systems biology community in recent years and we have therefore implemented language bindings to connect Julia users to libRoadRunner. Whilst our Python bindings are implemented using SWIG \citep{beazley1996swig}, our Julia bindings export symbols from the libRoadRunner shared library which are then imported into Julia using the ccall method below.
\begin{verbatim}
# get julia bindings
import Pkg
Pkg.add("RoadRunner")
# simulate a model
using RoadRunner
rr = RoadRunner.createRRInstance()
RoadRunner.loadSBML(rr, sbmlString)
S = RoadRunner.getFloatingSpeciesIds(rr)
data = RoadRunner.simulateEx(rr, 0, 40, 500)
\end{verbatim}
An illustration showing how to load an SBML model and perform a simulation. The first two lines installs the libRoadRunner language bindings in Julia and the rest of the code compiles an SBML model {sbmlString} and runs a simulation using the {simulateEx} method
\subsection{Plugin System}
We have developed a robust plugin system, along with some examples in the form of parameter estimation algorithms that use libRoadRunner solvers and an interface to <which tool?> for bifurcation analysis.

\subsection{Miscellaneous New Functionality}
In previous versions of libRoadRunner, we did not support <input list here>. Now we have built support for everything in the SBML level 3 version 2 specification except for delay differential equations. We have also extended the stoichiometry matrix to …..
Version 2 of libRoadRunner also includes a number of other miscellaneous changes. These include additions to numerical routines used to solve for the time course of differential equations and for computing steady state. In particular we have implemented a basic Euler integration method which has been used for certain time critical applications and an RK45 that can be used to double check the accuracy of the time course solution generated by the default CVODE implementation.

Like our CVODE implementation, our time series sensitivity implementation uses the popular Sundials package \citep{hindmarsh2005sundials}. Specifically, we have two strategies for solving the sensitivity equations. They can either be solved simultaneously with the system equations \citep{maly1996numerical} or solved using a staggered approach \citep{caracotsios1995sensitivity}.

libRoadRunner version 2 also makes use of the Sundials "kinsol" library for implementing new steady state solvers. Specifically, we use the Inexact Newton approach \citep{brown1987local}.

\section{The "BioModels" Problem}
To demonstrate the performance capabilities of libRoadRunner v2, we have measured the time it takes for libRoadRunner v2's MCJit or LLJit compilers and the last implementation of libRoadRunner version 1 (v1.6.1) to load, simulate and store all 1036 models (at the time of writing) from the curated section of the BioModels database \citep{le2006biomodels} in a {RoadRunnerMap}. Moreover, where possible, we repeat this process using {Pool} API from Python's built-in multiprocessing library or using our own {RoadRunnerMap}. We show that libRoadRunner with the {LLJit} compiler is the fastest compiler that we have built to date and that significant performance gains can be had by using the {RoadRunnerMap} for problems involving multiple {RoadRunner} instances \cref{fig:biomodels}.
\begin{figure}[tbp]
    \centering
    \includegraphics[width=0.45\textwidth]{biomodels_problem_results.png}
    \caption{Comparison of time taken for RoadRunner (MCJit or LLJit) or libRoadRunner v1.6.1 to load and simulate a 100 time step time series from the curated section of biomodels (1036 models), either in series or in parallel. Models that failed due to load or simulation errors were ignored (20 for roadrunner, 18 for COPASI). Shown are the means and standard deviations of 5 independent repeats. The number of threads used, where applicable is 12. }
    \label{fig:biomodels}
\end{figure}
\section{Discussion}
libRoadRunner is a fast and convenient tool for both individuals who are investigating the dynamics of a biological system and for tool developers who are building new methods for solving and analysing such systems. In this article we introduce libRoadRunner version 2, where we have built a variety of new tools for the construction, compilation, analysis and solving of dynamical systems described in SBML.

libRoadRunner version 1 is highly optimized for the simulation of a dynamical system and thanks to our JIT compilation strategy, provides some of the fastest numerical integration routines around \citep{somogyi2015libroadrunner} (other refs for performance metrics?). However, one of the disadvantages of our strategy is that when the need arises for simulation of many SBML models together, run time is dominated by compile time. Examples of such a need include ensemble modelling, where many instances of SBML with varying parameters or topologies need simulating simultaneously.

To alleviate this bottleneck, in libRoadRunner version 2 we have prioritized new features that enhance the speed with which a model can be compiled. One such feature is an entirely new compiler called {LLJit} which sits side-by-side with the older {MCJit}. We have demonstrated {LLJit} is significantly faster than earlier libRoadRunner implementations (\cref{fig:CompileTime} and \cref{fig:biomodels}) at compiling the same code.

While decreasing compile-time is a worthy goal, there is a natural limit to the speed with which a single model can be compiled. An alternative mechanism for enhancing performance in multi-model problems is to make better use of the available resources that exist in most modern computer systems using parallelism. In libRoadRunner v2, we introduce parallelism in two ways. Firstly we have built a {RoadRunner} container called {RoadRunnerMap} which is capable of orchestrating parallel compiles and secondly we have implemented support for Python's pickle protocol. While the former enables us to abstract parallelism away from the user completely, the latter allows our more computationally competent users to devise their own parallel computation. We have compared these three strategies (serial code, multithreading.Pool and RoadRunnerMap) by loading and simulating a time series from the curated section of BioModels \cref{fig:biomodels}.

Other changes in libRoadRunner version 2 include new steady state solvers, access to time series sensitivities, direct access to model topology
\section{Conclusion}
In this short article we describe a number of additions to libroadrunner version 2.  These changes are geared towards making libroadrunner more efficient in running, loading and changing models at runtime. These features were added to support a number of specific use cases. These include two main applications: parameter optimization on large compute clusters, and using libRoadRunner to create large model ensembles that includes variation in parameters as well as rate laws and network topology.

\section{Availability}
libRoadRunner is available for  Windows, Mac OS and Linux operating systems. Precompiled binaries are available from our GitHub webpage \url{https://github.com/sys-bio/roadrunner/releases} and our Python front end is available with {pip install libroadrunner}. The Julia source code is available at \url{https://github.com/sys-bio/RoadRunner.jl} and can be installed via Julia's package manager with {\tt Pkg.add("Road\-Runner")}.

If you're looking for both a car that sounds like it belongs to the animal handler in your local municipal police precinct and a solid Android tablet to boot, Kia's got a deal for you. The South Korean automaker has teamed with its electronics neighbor Samsung to offer free special edition versions of the Galaxy Tab 10.1 to those who pre-order a Kia K9, the new large-scale luxury sedan debuting in June. It appears that the offer is only valid in South Korea.
If you're interested, the K9 comes with a 3.6-liter V6 engine rated for 285 horsepower, a step down from the V8 in its design cousin the Hyundai Equus. The company claims that the weight distribution ratio is nearly perfect across the wheelbase, which should provide for exceptional handling. We're not exactly experts when it comes to autos, but the K9 looks pretty slick for a budget vehicle – or at least a budget vehicle that's projected to sit at the top of Kia's lineup when it comes to North America, presumably under a different name.
Kia isn't the first car company to try this: their South Korean neighbor gave away iPads with certain new car purchases back in 2010. But now that Android tablets have come into their own, with Samsung making some of the best among them, it looks like Kia is going patriotic with their pack-ins. And of course, we can't help but admire their taste.

Second NSCN (IM)-ZUF gun-fight of the fortnight reported at Tamenglong
IMPHAL, October 18: An armed encounter took place between the cadres of NSCN-IM and Zeliangrong Youth Front (ZUF) in a jungle at Guitang village under Khoupum Police Station in Tamenglong district this morning.
According to local sources, the gun fight between the heavily armed cadres of NSCN-IM and ZUF started from around 5 am and lasted for more than three hours till about 8:30 am.
The incident happened when some suspected ZUF cadres intruded into Guitang village which was already occupied by the NSCN-IM cadres. The firing began due to miscommunication between the cadres at the spot resulting in fierce gun battle, the source added.
Further according to the source, the villagers nearby the encounter spot have also reportedly fled from their villages to some safer areas. However, no security personnel entered the area till late night.
There are possibilities of heavy casualities during the encounter on both sides, however no exact information was available with the press till the filing of this report.
It may be mentioned that five cadres of NSCN-IM were killed during an ambush by suspected ZUF cadres on October 7 at Laisok village under Khoupum Police Station in Tamenglong district.
