Home › Hunting Stories › GRILLED BEAST!!!
Grilled and roasted wild game are always a camp favorite. When an older critter is on the meat pole, the meat can be tough, and wild tasting.
A simple marinate is key to adding flavor, and tenderizing the Wild Beast. I first tried this recipe at a hunting camp in Montana. An older Bull Elk was brought to camp and I cut several ¾ inch steaks. The meat from this old bull was dense, and dark. The odor was a bit gamey to the nose. To first address the toughness, I tenderized the steaks, using a hammer style tenderizer. If the meat is younger, you may not need to tenderize the meat. Flank or skirt steaks would work well using this recipe as well.
Next, I prepared a marinate using what we had. The pantry was sparse, since it was a week into the hunt. I added the following ingredients to a sealable plastic bag.
½ cup of mixed herbs. Parsley, cilantro, basil, oregano.
Create as much marinate as you need to soak into the meat you plan to cook. Before adding the meat to the sealable bag, mix the ingredients together by squeezing the bag. You could certainly mix up the flavors, if you had more choices on your spice rack.
After placing the tenderized meat steaks into the bag, I sealed it up and placed it into the nearby trout stream. Rocks held it under the water, overnight! If you had a refrigerator or space in the ice chest, you could store the meat there as well. Give the marinate at least a couple of hours to work it's magic.
No bears or coyotes found my meat stash. In the morning, I retrieved the steaks and threw them onto the morning grill. We were out of bacon and breakfast meats, so this was the Camp Cooks Plan B. A quick campfire sear, and a flip is all that was needed. Using a filet knife, I sliced the steaks across the grain, into strips. Some scrambled eggs alongside and breakfast was ready!
The Grilled Beast was delicious, tender, and every plate was licked clean. I did not taste the whiskey, but everyone appreciated the thought. This Grilled Beast idea is a variation of a Mexican Carne Asada. Seared and charcoal flavor work well with the flavorful marinate. The thin cross slicing really made the meat easy to chew. I also gave the sliced meat a quick stir in the fry pan at the end, to soak up any juices left over.
You could also serve this meat, eggs, and cheese in a tortilla as a breakfast , or steak sandwich.

George Harrison PART TWO
[George Harrison PART TWO
English: George Harrison in the Oval Office during the Ford administration. (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
]In 1968 Harrison's interest in Indian music …
extended into a yearning to learn more about eastern spiritual practices. In 1968, he led the Beatles on a journey to northern India to study transcendental meditation under Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. [Biography.com]
That year the group's White Album came out. Harrison penned "While My Guitar Gently Weeps," "Piggies," "Long, Long, Long" and "Savoy Truffle." "While My Guitar Gently Weeps," is ranked as #7 Greatest Guitar Song of All Time by Rolling Stone Magazine.
On Yellow Submarine he penned "Only A Northern Song" and "It's All Too Much" both of which — like the rest of the album — were self indulgent and over produced.
He bounced back with Abbey Road which has two of Harrison's best songs, "Something" and "Here Comes The Sun"
Let It Be had "I Me Mine Mine" and "For You Blue." While recording Let It Be Harrison grew frustrated with the poor working conditions of the film studio as well as with the Lennon-McCartney lock on creative input on songs. He walked way from the recording sessions on January 10th, 1969. The other Beatles convinced him to return 12 days later but the writing was on the wall. The end was near for the super group.
When Beatles broke up in April of 1970 Harrison had a back log of music written and ready to produce. His first post-Beatles album was a triple disk, All Things Must Pass. The album yielded two hits "My Sweet Lord" and "What Is Life"
In 1971 he organized a charity concert at Madison Square Garden to raise money and awareness for the refugees in Bangladesh. The Concert for Bangladesh (and the concert film) was a fore runner to other multi-band high-profile charity concerts to come a decade later like Live Aid.
His next Album, Living in the Material World went Gold with in a week of its release. The single from the album, "Give Me Love (Give Me Peace on Earth)" became an international best seller.
But then things began to flatten out musically–sales wise at least. Harrison continued to write and experiment musically.
He "started his own film production company, Handmade Films. The outfit underwrote Monty Python's Life of Brian and would go on to put out 26 other movies before Harrison sold his interest in the company in 1994." [Biography.com]
In 1987 released Cloud Nine and began to work with a collection of rockers who formed the group the Traveling Wilburys.
The Traveling Wilburys, 1988. L–R: Roy Orbison, Jeff Lynne, Bob Dylan, George Harrison, and Tom Petty. (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
"In 1998, Harrison, a longtime smoker, reportedly was successfully treated for throat cancer." [Ibid] Two years later the cancer returned, this time it had spread to his brain. He died in Los Angeles in November of 2001.
Oy! Yesterday was full of frustration WordPress wise. I could NOT get a YouTube song/vid to successfully link.(And believe me I had TONS of great George clips to share.) So I'm trying again to day… with fresh optimism. … Here Comes the Sun…

George Harrison PART ONE 2.25.13
"I think people who can truly live a life in music are telling the world, "You can have my love, you can have my smiles. Forget the bad parts, you don't need them. Just take the music, the goodness, because it's the very best, and it's the part I give"– George Harrison
[Image courtesy: IMDb]
George Harrison was born on this day in Liverpool, England in 1943. today is the 70th anniversary of his birth.
Harrison was the youngest of four children born to Harold, a school bus driver, and Louise as shop assistant and stay a home mother. He went to school at Dovedale Primary School until he was 11 when he transferred to the prestigious Liverpool Institute.
By his own admission, Harrison was not much of a student and what little interest he did have for his studies washed away with his discovery of the electric guitar and American rock 'n roll. [Biography.com]
He was riding his bike through the streets of Liverpool one day when he heard Elvis Presley's Heartbreak Hotel coming through a window. Harrison said it was an epiphany. His father bought him an acoustic guitar and he taught himself how to play. He formed a pop, jazz, blues, folk, roots band with his older brother Peter and their friend Arthur Kelly called the Rebels.
Harrison knew Paul McCartney from school and in 1958 he auditioned for McCartney and John Lennon's band The Quarrymen. Lennon was reluctant to bring on the 14-year-old Harrison, but after a second audition — this on the upper deck of a bus — he was sufficiently wowed by Harrison's rock and roll guitar that the younger guitarist began to fill in with the group.
By 16 Harrison had left school and was working as an apprentice electrician as well as a musician both for the Quarrymen and for the Les Stewart Quartet.
By 1960 Harrison's music career was in full swing. Lennon had renamed the band the Beatles and the young group began cutting their rock teeth in the small clubs and bars around Liverpool and Hamburg, Germany. Within two years, the group had a new drummer, Ringo Starr, and a manager, Brian Epstein,… Before the end of 1962, Harrison and the Beatles recorded a top 20 U.K. hit, Love Me Do. [Biography.com]
They followed that with Please, Please me and produced an album (also called Please, Please Me.) Harrison sang lead on two songs, Chains, a cover of the Little Eva hit by Gerry Goffin and Carole King, and Do You Want to Know a Secret by Lennon and McCartney. The album (literally) rocked the UK charts
Given that the UK album chart in those days tended to be dominated by more 'adult' tastes such as film soundtracks and easy listening vocalists, it was a surprise when Please Please Me hit the top of the chart in May 1963 and remained there for thirty weeks before being replaced by With The Beatles. [TheBeatles.com]
The 1963 UK release of With The Beatles, hosted the first Harrison penned song to make it to vinyl; Don't Bother Me.
It wasn't until Help! that another Harrison song made it onto a Beatles album. He contributed "I Need You" and "You Like Me Too Much" to Help!
Harrison's influence grew in the band with the release of Rubber Soul. Again he has two songs on the album, Think For Yourself and If I Needed Some One. He brought both a folk rock flavor to the group and an interest in classical Indian music.
Harrison soon developed a deep interest in Indian music.He taught himself the sitar, introducing the instrument to many western ears on John Lennon's song, "Norwegian Wood."" [Biography.com]
By bringing sitar player Ravi Shankar to the attention of the Western World Harrison introduced the instrument to other rock groups (like the Rolling Stones.) And his willingness to stray from the traditional western rock instruments (guitar, bass, drums, piano) helped "pave the way for such groundbreaking Beatles albums as Revolver and Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" [Ibid]
He scored with three singles on Revolver, "Taxman," "Love You To" and "I Want to Tell You." You can really hear the Eastern influence on "Love You To"
He only contributed one song to Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, "Within You Without You." He's the only Beatle to play on the song.

Thought of the Day John Lennon
PROGRAMMING NOTE: Switching up the formula a little today as it is NOT John Lennon's Birthday — that was October 9th — but I was away that day, so I thought I'd retroactively give John the birthday nod.
"If someone thinks that love and peace is a cliché that must have been left behind in the Sixties, that's his problem. Love and peace are eternal."
John Winston Lennon was born on October 9th, 1940 in Liverpool, England. He would be 72 years old this year.
John was born during World War II, indeed he was born during an air raid, to Julia and Alfred Lennon. His father worked as a merchant seaman and was often away from home. By the time John was four-years-old his parents were divorced and he went to live with his Aunt Mimi Smith. Although Alfred was largely out of the picture, Julia remained close, she visited John regularly.
She taught John how to play the banjo and the piano and purchased his first guitar. [biography.com]
Julia Lennon died when John was 18, she was stuck by a car.
He did not do well in school, and preferred to be the class clown rather than study. He did love art and music though. John drew unique (almost grotesque) line drawings that quickly and simply captured the image.
John started a 'skiffle band' (a band that used the instruments they had at hand) called the Quarry Men when he was 16. The Quarry Men take their name from John's high school, Quarry Bank High School in Liverpool. The next year he asked Paul McCartney to join the group. George Harrison and Lennon's art school mate Stu Sutcliffe also joined the band and they later added Pete Best on drums.

The group changed their name to the Beatles and played clubs in Hamburg, Germany and the Cavern Club in Liverpool. Brian Epstein came on board in 1961 as manager, and they got a recording contract with EMI records.
1962 saw huge changes for both Lennon and the group. In April of 1962 Sutcliffe died tragically of a brain aneurysm. In August John married Cynthia Powell, the couple had a son, Julian in April the next year. The band replaced drummer Pete Best with Ringo Starr. The realigned group recorded at EMI with George Martin as their producer, and released Love Me Do in October. The single reached #17 on the British Charts. Please, Please Me the follow-up single, topped the charts. And the Beatles were off.
Beatlemania invaded the US in 1964. They appeared on The Ed Sullivan Show and played sold out concerts.
Still from Hard Day's Night. [Image courtesy: Cinematical]
Back in the UK they made the movie A Hard Day's Night. The movie is a delightfully fun, pop romp of a mockumentary. It featured songs from the album of the same name, notably: A Hard Days Night, If I Fell, I'm Happy Just to Dance with You, Tell Me Why, Any Time At All and Can't Buy Me Love. The popularity of the movie helped keep the album at #1 for 14 weeks on the Billboard chart. The budget was limited so it was shot in black and white, and everything was kept simple. Not so with their second film HELP! which still manages to be charming but not as charming as Hard Day's Night. It is overproduced and over done. Lennon said that the Beatles felt like extras in their own movie with HELP! and it shows. Still the music was pretty awesome: Help!, You've Got to Hide Your Love Away, You're Going to Lose That Girl! Ticket to Ride, It's Only Love, I've Just Seen a Face, and Yesterday. The Album held the top spot on Billboard for 9 weeks.
Musically the lads from Liverpool were in top form, releasing the breakthrough album, Rubber Soul in 1965. Their song writing had transformed from the harder R&B influenced Hold My Hand kind of song to lyrical, mature songs like Norwegian Wood, Nowhere Man, Michelle, Girl, In My Life, and If I Needed Someone. It was another #1 Billboard album (6 weeks). [I'm guessing that if you are still reading this blog you are a Beatles fan and already have most of their albums, but if you don't… I'd put Rubber Soul at the top of the list. For my money Rubber Soul and Revolver are two of the best albums every made.]

Revolver [Image courtesy: Amazon.com]
Yesterday…and Today came out in 1966. Stand out songs include: Drive My Car, Nowhere Man, Yesterday, If I Needed Someone, We Can Work It Out and Day Tripper. The album reached #1 for 5 weeks. Revolver also came out in 1966. Taxman, Eleanor Rigby, Here, There and Everywhere, Yellow Submarine, Good Day Sunshine, And Your Bird Can Sing, and Got to Get You Into My Life are some of the hits off the album, which spent 6 weeks at the #1 spot on Billboard's chart. By 1966 the strain of constant touring, recording, and the hounding fans was weighing on the band. Lennon got in trouble for his "We're more popular than Jesus now" remark. They played their last concert in Candlestick Park stadium, San Francisco in August.
The following year the Beatles put out their eighth LP, Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. An eclectic mix of pop, rock n roll, and Indian influenced tracks. It won Album of the Year and was #1 on the Billboard charts for a whopping 15 weeks. Hits from the album include: With a Little Help from My Friends, Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds, Getting Better, –the amazing — A Day in the Life, and of course, Lovely Rita. But as good as Pepper was, and it was very good, it was also over produced. All those horns and whistles and animal sounds didn't quite get in the way enough to ruin the songs, but were they really necessary? Listening back on them now… well, I prefer a simpler production. [It worked somehow in A Day in the Life; not so much in Lovely Rita, but still, the later has such a great title.]
Speaking of over produced…there's Magical Mystery Tour — a movie that makes absolutely no sense. The LP had some lovely songs though. And even if it was becoming painfully clear that Lennon was writing the "Lennon" songs– which were leaning toward sarcasm — and McCartney was writing the "McCarntney" songs — which were tending to get more nostalgic and saccharine — both came up with some good ones here, like: The Fool on the Hill, Strawberry Fields Forever, Penny Lane, and All You Need Is Love.
1968 brought the animated (and equally bizarre) film Yellow Submarine. In November they release a new album called The Beatles aka The White Album. It was at the top of the charts for 9 weeks. This double album seems almost schizophrenic with some great songs like the hard rock and roll Back in the USSR, Why Don't We Do It in the Road? Helter Skelter, and Revolution; others that are lovely and lyrical; While My Guitar Gently Weeps, Blackbird, Julia, Long, Long, Long, Good Night; And others that I'm not going to waste my time talking about.
On the personal side John divorced Cynthia Lennon in November of 1968. He and Yoko Ono, who he had been seeing since 1966, and living with since the summer of '68, put out a collaborative album Two Virgins. The album showed the couple nude on the cover and was banned in most record stores. On March 20, 1969 John and Yoko married in Gibraltar.
The following week, the two master media manipulators used their celebrity for good, hosting a honeymoon "bed-in" for peace in room 902, the presidential suite of the Amsterdam Hilton. The… pajama-clad newlyweds spoke out about world peace. It was the honeymoon as performance art, interlaced with a protest against the Vietnam War. [About.com]
They repeated the "performance" in Montreal the following week and with a bedroom full of musicians, artist, writers and other 1960's counter-culture dignitaries, they recorded Give Peace a Chance.
Abbey Road [Image courtesy: Amazon.com]
Abbey Road was released in 1969. It is actually the last album the Beatles recorded, but it was released before Let It Be.
Notable songs include: Come Together, Something, Here Comes the Sun, and I Want You. Abbey Road stayed at #1 for 11 weeks.
Recorded largely in January in 1969, Let it Be wasn't released until 1970 and was #1 for 4 weeks. Lennon had already left the group (September of 1969.) A film of the same name came out the same year. The film was supposed to be a documentary that went behind the scenes to show the world's most famous rock band making an album. Instead it showed the world's most famous rock band dissolving. The film culminated in a rooftop concert on January 30th. Songs from the album include: Don't Let Me Down, Get Back, Two of Us, Let It Be, and The Long and Winding Road.
After the Beatles John released Plastic Ono Band.
The raw, confessional nature of Plastic Ono Band reflected the primal-scream therapy that Lennon and Ono had been undergoing with psychologist Arthur Janov. He dealt with such fundamental issues as "God" and "Mother" and the class system ("Working Class Hero") on an album as full of naked candor as any in rock has ever been. [Rock & Roll Hall of Fame]
1971 brought Imagine. Rolling Stone Magazine called the title track the third all-time best song ever written.
English: John Lennon and Yoko Ono (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
John and Yoko followed Imagine with an anti-war release Happy Xmas (War is Over). The Nixon administration was not amused. It decided to begin deportation proceeding against Lennon. The stress took its toll on Lennon's marriage with Ono and the two separated. For 18 months he lived in Los Angeles with another woman, May Pang. It is a period he calls his "Lost weekend" of drinking a partying. He fished Mind Games, and recorded Walls and Bridges. Whatever Gets You Thru the Night, a single off the later album became a number one hit. He co-wrote Fame with David Bowie.
He and Ono were reunited in 1975 shortly before the release of Rock n Roll. The couple celebrated the birth of their son Sean in October of 1975. And, after releasing Shaved Fish, John became a stay at home dad for five years.
In 1980 he came out of retirement and released Double Fantasy with the single Just Like Starting Over.
On December 8, 1980 the music died. As Lennon and Ono were returning home from recording tracks for the following up album, Milk and Honey he was assassinated in front of his New York apartment building, the Dakota.

Thought of the Day 9.1.12 Edgar Rice Burroughs
"I write to escape…to escape poverty."
—Edgar Rice Burroughs
Edgar Rice Burroughs (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
Edgar Rice Burroughs was born on this day in Chicago, Illinois in 1875. Today is the 137th anniversary of his birth.
He was the middle child Major George Burroughs and his wife Mary Evaline. His younger siblings died of childhood diseases, leaving him the baby of the family. He bounced around several different local schools. Whenever there was an outbreak of a disease his parents took him out of one school and put him in another. Since schools taught Latin and Greek as well as English he later …
"his erratic schooling… resulted in his … learning little English while taking the same Greek and Latin courses over and over again. Despite his claims to the contrary, this early exposure to Classical literature and mythology would serve Burroughs well in his future writing career." [The Official Edgar Rice Burroughs Mini-Bio]
When a flu epidemic swept through Chicago his parents sent a teenaged Edgar to his brothers' cattle ranch in Idaho. He love the rough and tumble "wild west" with its range wars and saloon shoot outs and he lived there for six months before his parents realized the danger of frontier life was on par with the danger of getting influenza. They called him home and enrolled him in Phillips Academy in Andover, Massachusetts. He didn't last long there and was soon transferred to the more structured Michigan Military Academy. He failed the West Point entrance exam and signed up for the Army as a private where he served with the 7th US Cavalry at Fort Grant, Arizona Territory. He was discharged from the Army for a heart condition in 1897.
In 1899 he was back in Chicago working for his father 's company, and the next year he married his childhood sweetheart, Emma Hulbert. After a few years he and Emma travelled west to Idaho so he could try his luck with his brothers again, this time at gold mining. But that venture soon went bust and Burroughs went through a number of jobs from railway policeman to peddler for quack medicine.
One of his jobs was as a pencil sharpener wholesaler. He placed ads for the pencil sharpeners in pulp fiction magazines and he would read through the magazines to check the placement of the ads.
"After reading several thousand words of breathless pulp fiction Burroughs determined … that 'if people were paid for writing rot such as I read in some of those magazines that I could write stories just as rotten. As a matter of fact, although I had never written a story, I knew absolutely that I could write stories just as entertaining and probably a whole lot more so than any I chanced to read in those magazines.'" [The Official Edgar Rice Burroughs Mini-Bio]
In fact he had already written stories, but his introduction into the pulp fiction market with Under the Moons of Mars, for which he received a whopping $400 from All-Story magazine, was a turning point in his career. The story was serialized in the magazine and produced as a novel under its original name of A Princess of Mars. By the time the last installment was published in July of 1912 Burroughs had completed two more novels. The Outlaw of Torn and Tarzan of the Apes. Outlaw was not picked up by the publisher, but Tarzan was an immediate hit. Burroughs got $700 for the book. He wrote a number of sequels for both Mars (11, including John Carter of Mars) and Tarzan (26).

Other book series by Burroughs includes:
The Pellucidar series, which takes place in the hollow shell of the Earth (7 books, including one featuring a cross over appearance from Tarzan).
The Venus series, where Carson Napier, who is attempting a solo flight to Mars, crash lands instead on the watery planet of Venus. — look for a film made from the series coming out next year. (5 books)
The Caspak series, a prehistoric series, including The Land That Time Forgot (3 books)
He crossed writing genres at will penning social realism, horror stories, and westerns (and more).
Burroughs was living in Honolulu, Hawaii when the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. He volunteered to serve the war effort as a war correspondent (the oldest in the Pacific theatre).
He died on March 19, 1950.

Thought of the Day 6.18.12
"Love is all you need."
Paul McCartney was born today in Liverpool, England in 1942. He is 70 years old.
McCartney is a singer/songwriter/musician who, along with John Lennon, George Harrison, Stu Sutcliffe, and Pete Best formed the Beatles in 1960. The fledgling band did a tour in Hamburg, Germany and performed at the Cavern Club in Liverpool, but it wasn't until Sutcliffe left and Ringo Starr replaced Best on drums that the Beatles popularity really began to take hold. In October of 1962 they released "Love Me Do" (… and we did.)
Working as a song writing team (at least in name) Lennon and McCarney produced an unprecidented string of hits that became the soundtrack of a generation with "Can't Buy Me Love," "I Want To Hold Your Hand," "We Can Work It Out," "Eleanor Rigby," "Paperback Writer," "With a Little Help From My Friends," "When I'm Sixty-Four," "A Day in the Life," "Hey Jude," "Get Back," "Let It Be," "The Long and Winding Road" and, of course, "Lovely Rita." McCarney's "Yesterday" is the most recorded cover song in history.
When the Beatles broke up McCartney started a new band with his wife Linda McCartney and Denny Laine. Although not as wildly successful as the Beatles, WINGS had a strong run in the pop charts from 1970 – 1981. Some of the band's hits include "Uncle Albert," "My Love," "Live and Let Die," "Band on the Run," "Mull of Kintyre," "Silly Love Songs," "Listen to What the Man Said," "Coming Up," and "With a Little Luck."
His solo work includes "Maybe I'm Amazed," "Here Today," "Another Day," and "No More Lonely Nights."

RSI is a momentum indicator that is looking at how much and how fast a price of a coin has moved over a period of time – so it's measuring the speed and the magnitude of the price change over a specified period of time.
When using RSI on Coinigy, we have 2 additional lines that we are considering: the 30 and the 70. So if the RSI stays within the band defined between the 30 and 70, that means that this is just regular market activity (buying and selling). If it goes above 70 or below 30, that means that the coin is overbought or oversold, respectively. Hence, a good time to get in is when the RSI is below 30 and a good time to sell is when the RSI is above 70.
A coin's RSI can stay above 70 for example for a long period of time, which would mean that more and more people are interested in buying the coin. An important parameter to help you decide when would be a good time to sell in this case is the volume. Using the volume, you can assess whether people are losing interest in the coin or traders are starting to take their profits, which means that this would be a good time for you to get out too.
TECHNICAL ANALYSIS: How to use Relative Strength Index (RSI) to analyse change in price on Coinigy.http://www.drcrypto.co.uk/trading/ta/ta-5-relative-strength-index-rsi-to-analyse-change-in-price/ The first 2 points I am pointing at have an RSI of over 70, which means that the coin is being overbought at those 2 points and the coin was seeing a bullish movement. The third point I am pointing at has an RSI of below 30, which means that the coin is being oversold and it was seeing a bearish movement.
The first 2 points I am pointing at have an RSI of over 70, which means that the coin is being overbought at those 2 points and the coin was seeing a bullish movement. The third point I am pointing at has an RSI of below 30, which means that the coin is being oversold and it was seeing a bearish movement.


The Advanced Distributed Learning (ADL) Initiative was founded by the DoD in 1997 and charged with developing and implementing technologies across the DoD and federal government. Part of the ADL charter is to collaborate with government, industry and academia to promote international specifications and standards for designing and delivering learning content; the shareable content object reference model (SCORM) is one result of those efforts.
SCORM is a design specification in which learning assets are collected into shareable content objects (SCOs) which can then be aggregated in a plethora of combinations in order to suit the purpose of a particular instructional implementation. The aggregations of of SCOs are structured into an organization and then delivered as a single content package. SCORM helps instructional designers to integrate their course content with various learning management systems (LMS) like Blackboard, WebCT, or Moodle, including the use of sequencing, recording assessment scores, and tracking student usage of the SCOs.

"We have shut the hydrocracker and assessment will be done on Thursday to know how long we need to keep it shut," R Ramachandran, head of refineries, told news agency Reuters.
MUMBAI: State-run Bharat Petroleum Corp Ltd (BPCL) shut a hydrocracker unit at its Mumbai refinery on Wednesday evening following a fire that left more than 40 people injured, said a top company official.
The fire started in the compressor shed of the hydrocracker plant around 2:45 pm.
43 workers were injured in the incident, said Shahaji Umap, deputy commissioner of police (Zone-VI).
After preliminary treatment at BPCL's first aid centre, 22 of them were allowed to go home, whereas 21 were shifted to nearby hospital in Chembur, he said. One of them was in the intensive care unit, he added.


I've been on the hunt for some pretty little things to add to my place for a femme and parisian vibe. I also of course am currently on the hunt for holiday hostess gifts. I never want to give the obvious, in fact, most of the time I give candles and books as gifts. This year, I want to give things with a little bit more meaning, I've always loved crystals and vintage trinkets, too.
Leave it to my dear friend @dallasshaw who always inspires me with vintage & pink things. I spotted her little pink faux fur pouf and fell absolutely in love. Wouldn't this be so cute at home?
ps. the crystals are angel aura spirit quartz. . .you can find them on esty.
I've always loved floor length gold French mirrors and I've been on the hunt for an affordable one for a client of mine and I may just have to have one myself. This one is perfect.

Nanobioelectronic system triggers enzyme activity
(Nanowerk Spotlight) Molecular bioelectronics is a rapidly progressing research field that is concerned with the movement of electrons and ions within living systems. This field brings together the strengths of biological reactions and biochemical interactions from nature with electronic signal detection and amplification of human electronics technology. The result will be new applications in medicine, diagnostics and therapeutics that would never be imaginable within the limitations of each separated domain.
One day, bioelectronic devices could even be be directly involved in electrical communication with signal producing or controlling molecules, organelles or structures within our bodies. A more short-term goal, though, is the development of biosensors (such as enzyme-based sensors and DNA sensors) to combine the extraordinary specificity of biochemical receptors with general purpose microelectronics to develop selective probes for diagnostics, drug screening, and toxin detection.
An example of recent advances in the field is the work of researchers in the U.S. who have designed an integrated nanobioelectronic system, exploiting the distinct properties of nanowires and carbon-nanotubes (CNTs), for triggering reversibly and on-demand bioelectrocatalytic transformations of alcohols. Such an adaptive magneto-switchable nanobioelectronic system exploits the distinct properties of its individual nanomaterial components, can be extended to a wide range of biocatalytic systems, and offers great promise for regulating the operation of biofuel cells, bioreactors, and biosensing devices in response to specific needs.
The control of electrocatalytic and bioelectrocatalytic transformations through magnets has been demonstrated several years ago. Here the attraction and retraction of functionalized magnetic spheres is used for ON–OFF switching of enzymatic reactions ("Magnetic Control of Electrocatalytic and Bioelectrocatalytic Processes").
"Here we report on an adaptive nanomaterial bioelectronic system, integrating nanowires and carbon-nanotubes, for on-demand bioelectrocatalytic transformations" Dr. Joseph Wang says about his group's recent paper iChemical Communications ("Adaptive nanowire–nanotube bioelectronic system for on-demand bioelectrocatalytic transformations"). Wang is Director of the Center for Bioelectronics and Biosensors, and a Professor of the department of Chemical Engineering, and department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at Arizona State University.
"The integrated nanowire–CNT system relies on nickel-gold nanowires, which have an enzyme trapped halfway along them, and a CNT-modified amperometric transducer" Wang explains. "Switching the orientation of the nanowires from vertical to horizontal – done by a magnetic field – brings the enzyme in contact with the CNT coated electrode, which allows the enzyme - in this case alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) - to catalyze the transformation of ethanol to acetaldehyde."
Regeneration of the enzyme's cofactor (NAD+) by the nanotube surface maintains the catalytic activity, and allows analysis by electrochemical methods.
When the nanowires are switched to the vertical position, the reaction is inhibited because the enzyme has no contact with the electrode. Apart from its usefulness as an alcohol sensor, this switchability could hold great promise for regulating the operation of biofuel cells or bioreactors.
On-demand magnetically-triggered bioelectrocatalytic transformations of ethanol. The nanowire–CNT based activation of ADH involves Ni/ADH–Au/Ni nanowires in connection to a CNT-coated surface and changes in the nanowire orientation between the vertical (A) and horizontal (B) positions for blocking and activating the bioelectrocatalytic process, respectively. Insets show the corresponding cyclic voltammograms. Also shown (center) is an SEM image of the three-segment nanowire. (Reprinted with permission from RSC Publishing)
The researchers explain that it is also possible to functionalize the adaptive nanowires with two enzymes for the parallel sensing of two alcohols. In this case, the selective analysis of the two alcohols can be accomplished by monitoring the CNT-promoted electrocatalytic signals of their NADH and hydrogen peroxide products during the horizontal alignment of the nanowires.

Harvard, SFFA Spar Over Key Takeaways from Admissions Trial
By Camille G. Caldera and Sahar M. Mohammadzadeh December 21, 2018

Harvard and Students For Fair Admissions continued to spar over whether the College's admissions process discriminates against Asian-American applicants in court documents filed Wednesday.
The briefs — each 75 pages long and split into separate "proposed findings of fact" and "proposed conclusions of the law" sections — summarize what SFFA and Harvard see as the most relevant testimony and evidence from a three-week trial that started mid-October.
Wednesday's documents mark the latest filings in a four-year-old lawsuit challenging the legality of the College's admissions process. The case, which legal experts say could go to the United States Supreme Court, could shape the future of affirmative action in colleges and universities around the country.
The Harvard brief argues that the College has a legitimate interest in racial and ethnic diversity to fulfill its educational mission and that the College is incapable of achieving such diversity with any race-neutral alternatives.
"SFFA failed to show that Harvard intentionally discriminates against Asian-American applicants on the basis of their race," the filing reads.
The SFFA filing states that though Harvard argues it promotes diversity, some forms of diversity — namely, religious, socioeconomic, and geographic diversity — are lacking on campus.
"There are 23 times as many wealthy students on campus as poor students," the filing states. The benefits of geographic diversity "are lacking too at Harvard."
A central issue in both briefs was the statistical analysis of the admissions process that each side presented at trial. Harvard's expert, Berkeley professor David E. Card, and SFFA's expert, Duke professor Peter S. Arcidiacono, offered dueling interpretations of the College's admissions data. Card argued the data shows Asian-American applicants did not face a noteworthy disadvantage, while Arcidiacono alleged statistics analysis showed sustained discrimination.
Both sides reiterated in the briefs statistical arguments they made during trial, focusing on the personal ratings of Asian-American applicants.
"Despite their superiority in academics, extracurriculars, and alumni overall ratings, as well as their parity with white applicants in school support and alumni personal ratings, Asian Americans receive lower personal ratings than white applicants and do not outperform them in the overall rating," the SFFA filing reads.
SFFA alleges Harvard disadvantages Asian-American applicants with its personal ratings — numerical scores the College assigns to each applicant. The scores, which range from 1 to 6, assess qualities like humor and grit.
"More than 21% of white applicants receive a personal rating of 1 or 2, as compared to 17% of Asian Americans," the SFFA filing reads.
The Harvard filing criticized SFFA for attributing the disparity to racial bias.
"There is no factual, logical, or statistical basis to conclude that factors outside the data explain the association between Asian-American ethnicity and stronger academic and extracurricular ratings, while racial bias explains the association between Asian-American ethnicity and weaker personal ratings," the brief states.
The Harvard brief's proposed conclusion of law is SFFA lacks the standing to sue. According to precedent, only individuals with "a direct stake in the outcome" may invoke federal judicial power, the brief explains.
"[The lawsuit] is instead a vehicle for the interests of its founder, Edward Blum, and the other controlling members of SFFA's Board of Directors, Richard and Abigail Fisher—all of whom lack a concrete stake in the outcome and therefore would not have been permitted to sue on their own behalf," the filing reads.
Abigail N. Fisher is a white woman who lost an affirmative action lawsuit against the University of Texas at Austin, which she sued after being denied admission to the school.
Harvard also argued the court should conclude that the school does not discriminate against Asian-American applicants and that it considers race in its admissions processes as allowed by judicial precedent.
SFFA has previously defended its right to sue on behalf of its members. In its latest brief, SFFA stated it "has members who applied to Harvard who were denied admission, and who are ready and able to apply to transfer if Harvard ceased its discriminatory practices" — evidence of a direct stake in the outcome and of a potential for redress.
Attorneys for Harvard and SFFA have until Jan. 23 to submit rebuttals to Wednesday's filings. Judge Allison D. Burroughs will hear an additional set of arguments from both sides on Feb. 13.

On Saturday February 9, 2013 my daughter and her friend helped me build a hovercraft. In just two hours we were floating across the floor!
We started with one 4'x4' piece of plywood (4 ply) that is 1/2 inch thick.
Lift is provided by an electric TORO leaf blower but I plan to upgrade to a cordless (battery powered) leaf blower.I prefer electric over gas power because I plan to only use this indoors.
For the hovercraft to move forward it must be pushed (or pulled).
The hovercraft worked great on the cement floor of the warehouse. It did not work well outside on asphalt (pavement).
This hovercraft was inspired by a project in the MAKE Magazine blog HERE.

A camera mounted on a $2,000 radio controlled (RC) plane takes you on a wild ride around NYC. The best part is the fly-by of the Statue of Liberty. My understanding is that the person flying this plane wears a headset that allows him/her to view what the camera sees - - it's like you're in the pilot seat of this small plane.
I was contacted recently by someone who read my article in MAKE magazine about the Adventure Tower I built and how it inspired him to build his own. He called his the "Tower of Power" and due to building regulations in his area, he had to keep his to a maximum height of 8 feet (mine was 16 feet tall). Check out more of his photos HERE.

«Оселя зла 3: Вимирання» () — науково-фантастичний фільм жахів з елементами бойовика 2007 року, знятий режисером Расселом Малкехі. Продовження фільмів «Оселя зла» і «Оселя зла: Апокаліпсис», знятих за серією комп'ютерних ігор Resident Evil.

Сюжет

Дія фільму відбувається через 3 роки після подій, що розгорнулись у попередній частині. Корпорації Umbrella не вдалося стримати Т-вірус в межах міста Раккун-сіті. Вірус поширився спочатку Північною Америкою, а потім перебрався на інші континенти і захопив весь світ. Причому впливу вірусу піддалися не тільки люди, але й тварини та рослини, тому весь світ перетворився на мляву пустелю.

Umbrella продовжила своє існування, незважаючи на майже повне вимирання людства. Співробітники корпорації ховаються в підземних комплексах, де продовжують працювати над вірусом та антивірусом і проводять інші дослідження. Одне з таких досліджень — продовження проекту «Еліс» — спроба створити клон Еліс, що володіє такими ж здібностями, як «оригінал». Клони піддаються випробуванням, але гинуть, не дотягуючи до «оригіналу». Тіла клонів підіймаються на поверхню і скидаються в траншею.

В пошуках палива і продовольства Еліс подорожує на мотоциклі невеликими містами, так як залишатися на одному місці занадто небезпечно — через зомбі; у великих містах ще небезпечніше з цієї ж причини. Надлюдські здібності Еліс зростають, але їй все ж доводиться ховатися від виявлення військовими орбітальними супутниками (сигнал із супутника може повністю контролювати Еліс).

У такому ж як Еліс постійному русі перебуває і група інших людей, що вижили. До цієї групи входять Клер Редфілд (сестра Кріса Редфілда, головного героя гри Resident Evil), Карлос Олівера, (колишній солдат спецпідрозділу, який з'явився у другій частині) та Ел Джей (також з'явився у другій частині).

Еліс зустрічається з іншими героями під час нападу заражених птахів. Щоб знищити цих літаючих зомбі, Еліс використовує свої надздібності. Цей сплеск фіксується супутником військових — Еліс виявляє себе.

Еліс показує іншим якісь записи, які вона знайшла під час своїх подорожей — судячи з цих записів, вірус не дістався до Аляски. Всі вирішують, що краще ризикнути і спробувати пробратися на північ. Для того, щоб подолати чималий шлях до Аляски, потрібно пальне, якого залишилося зовсім небагато. Маленькі містечка вже спустошені, а отже, доводиться їхати до великого міста — Лас-Вегаса, де їх вже чекає засідка.

Ел Джея кусає один із зомбі, однак він приховує це. Через деякий час, коли герої прибувають до Лас-Вегаса і на них нападають «вдосконалені» вченими Umbrella зомбі, Ел Джей сам стає одним із цих ходячих трупів. Ел гине, отримавши кулю в голову від Карлоса Олівери, при цьому встигнувши його вкусити.

Карлос Олівера не встигає перетворитися на зомбі, так як підриває себе з бензовозом, розчищаючи шлях Еліс.

Діставшись до бази корпорації, Клер Редфілд та інші сідають у гелікоптер і відлітають в надії дістатися до Аляски. Еліс не летить з ними і спускається вниз, щоб убити мутованого доктора Айзекса. Вона розправляється з ним в копії коридору з лазерами із першого фільму, а саму Еліс від цих лазерів рятує її клон.

Комп'ютерна система Біла королева, «сестра» Червоної королеви з першого фільму, повідомила Еліс новину: її кров — ліки від Т-вірусу. Еліс на чолі армії своїх клонів збирається атакувати штаб-квартиру корпорації Umbrella в Токіо.

У ролях
 Мілла Йовович — Еліс
 Одед Фер — Карлос Олівера
 Елі Лартер — Клер Редфілд
 Ієн Глен — доктор Александр Айзекс
 Ашанті — Бетті
 Крістофер Іган — Мікі
 Спенсер Лок — Кей-Март
 Меттью Мерсден — капітан Слейтер
 Лінден Ешбі — Чейз (Снайпер-Ковбой)

Саундтрек
Спеціально для фільму група Flyleaf записала ремікс пісні I am So Sick, названий T-Virus Remix.

Касові збори

Під час показу в Україні, що розпочався 20 вересня 2007 року, протягом перших вихідних фільм демонстрували на 63 екранах, що дозволило йому зібрати $524,819 і посісти 1 місце в кінопрокаті того тижня. Фільм продовжував очолювати український кінопрокат і наступного тижня, адже ще демонструвався на 63 екранах і зібрав за ті вихідні ще $186,390. Загалом фільм в кінопрокаті України зібрав $1,076,761, посівши 12 місце серед найбільш касових фільмів 2007 року.

Цікаві факти
 Зйомки фільму повинні були проходити в Австралії, але були перенесені до Мексики, де були дуже важкі умови. Після їх закінчення режисер фільму Рассел Малкехі потрапив до лікарні — його організм був занадто виснажений знімальним процесом.
 Спочатку фільм мав знімати Пол Андерсон (режисер першої частини), але його кандидатуру відхилили продюсери.
 Слоган фільму — «Цього разу без компромісів».
 Початковий підзаголовок назви фільму був «Потойбічне життя», який згодом став підзаголовком четвертої частини — «Оселя зла: Потойбічне життя», проте пізніше підзаголовок фільму був перейменований на «Вимирання».
 Монстр, на якого перетворюється мутований доктор Айзекс — мутант «Тиран», точно такий же, як і з першої частини гри.
 До фільму не ввійшла сцена із початкового сценарію, де Еліс зламує базу даних корпорації Umbrella і дізнається, що її справжнє ім'я Дженіс Просперо.
 Протягом декількох ігор Клер Редфілд шукає свого брата Кріса. Творці фільму хотіли обґрунтувати подорож на Аляску довгоочікуваним возз'єднанням Клер і Кріса, але у фінальному варіанті сценарію мотивація героїв змінилася.
 На стадії підготовки до зйомок було прийнято одноголосне рішення зробити найкривавішу частину франшизи.
 Ракун-сіті знімався у Детройті, одному із вимираючих міст США.
 У початковому сценарії пояснювалось, що Енджі було вбито під час нападу солдатів Umbrella.
 Цей фільм єдиний серед продовжень, який не розпочинається фразою «Мене звати Еліс».

Помилки у фільмі
 В одній зі сцен показано труп у вікні біля передніх дверей автобуса. У попередньому кадрі, коли зграя птахів залітала в автобус через розбите лобове скло, трупа у вікні немає.
 Гелікоптер піднімає з бази контейнер, із якого вибігають зомбі. Розміри цього контейнера на різних кадрах різняться.

Exclusive report reveals Hobart's Most Affordable Suburbs
A new report compiled by Aussie Home Loans and CoreLogic RP Data has identified Hobart as the most affordable city in Australia for houses, with 17 of the top 20 most affordable suburbs located less than 20 kilometres from the city at a median value under $300,000.
Glenorchy City Council has the highest number of affordable suburbs in the top 20, but Brighton Council's Gagebrook came out on top with a median value of $135,000.
Clarendon Vale, with a median price of $156,000, is the most affordable suburb for houses within 10 kilometres of the CBD, and 18 of the top 20 suburbs are located in Clarence and Glenorchy City Council areas.
Meanwhile the most affordable suburbs for apartments within 20 kilometres of Hobart's CBD are located within Hobart and Glenorchy City Council areas, with a median value under $300,000. The suburb of Claremont tops the list at $195,000.
The most affordable suburb for apartments within 10 kilometres of the CBD is Glenorchy with a median value of $199,000.

Founder and Executive Chairman of Aussie, Mr John Symond, said "Hobart posted a fall in dwelling values of almost 1 per cent over the last year and I would expect this decline to continue, which is great news for buyers looking to get into the market, especially first timers.
"There is money available for home lending, interest rates remain low and owner occupiers can still borrow up to 95 per cent of a property's value. Our report provides a map of where the most affordable property is located, so these suburbs are a good place to start for anyone looking to buy on a budget," he added.

A project team setup is a purposive structure and usually consists of different team size, team composition and needs to achieve its project goals within certain resource and time constraints (Project Management Institute, 2008). There are usually challenges to form team trust, team cohesion, team satisfaction and team effectiveness due to temporary nature of the project team in a multi-ethnical and multi-cultural, unlike teams which are ongoing. In a Study by Cohen & Bailey (Cohen, S. G. and D. E. Bailey, 1997), team effectiveness is a function of four categories of factors which include: (i) environmental factors, (ii) design factors, (iii) group processes, and (iv) group psychosocial traits. Within team effectiveness, it is divided into three major dimensions which include: (i) performance outcomes, (ii) attitudinal outcomes, and (iii) behavioral outcomes. Performance outcomes include efficiency, productivity, response times, quality, customer satisfaction and innovation. Attitudinal outcomes are team outcome factors that cover employee satisfaction, commitment and trust in management. Behavioral outcomes include absenteeism, turnover and safety.


He said: "A lot of people out there want to frustrate the democratic will of the British people who voted to leave the European Union and because I'm a prominent Brexiteer in the Cabinet who backs the Prime Minister's deal I'm a lightning rod for the anti-Brexit brigade".
"I will not do anything to put that at risk", she said.
Mrs May continued, "The issue that has always been one that parliament has raised - it has been raised across all sides of the House of Commons - is the potential indefinite nature of the backstop".
Alongside the Prime Minister's concerns about the "potentially indefinite nature of the backstop", Tory MPs are afraid renegotiations would undermine the Malthouse compromise.
The EU has repeatedly said it will not amend the backstop, but Polish Foreign Minister Jacek Czaputowicz suggested the bloc could agree to some form of legal assurances on how it might be used.
Downing Street today confirmed she will meet EU Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker this Thursday, when she will seek to persuade him to change the backstop arrangement.
Her speech comes after MPs delivered a resounding defeat to May's withdrawal agreement in December, over a key measure created to prevent a hard border in Ireland.
Clark himself told the Financial Times that Nissan told him their decision was "a warning sign" of the damage that a no-deal Brexit could have on Britain's vehicle sector. However, even this has been ruled out previously by European Union negotiators who say the backstop must be "all weather". He said the government was working with "urgency" on border solutions.
On Tuesday, May gave a speech in Belfast, where she pledged to not leave Northern Ireland behind during her discussions in Brussels. Mrs May said pledges made in the joint report in December 2017 were made in "good faith" and said the British government will honour the principles of the Good Friday Agreement.
The leader of Northern Ireland's Democratic Unionist Party which props up British Prime Minister Theresa May's minority government said the Irish backstop in her Brexit deal was toxic but she could back the agreement if it was replaced.
But Ms May wrote in the Sunday Telegraph that she would be "battling for Britain and Northern Ireland" in her efforts to get rid of the agreement's unpopular backstop provision.
Work and Pensions Secretary, Amber Rudd, urged Mrs May to be "straight" with the British public about the national security implications of a no-deal Brexit.
DUP leader Arlene Foster blasted the PM's plans, commenting that the proposed backstop would create a trade division between Northern Ireland and the UK.


This section contains technical terminology, basic piping principles, various piping standards and the various joining techniques available. The objective is to familiarize yourself with general piping terms and principles, regardless of materials, and to detail the differences that result from using thermoplastic materials. One of the key objectives is to clarify how thermoplastic materials affect the many principles that govern the design and application of industrial and commercial piping. Even seasoned veterans of industrial piping systems will likely learn the important differences between metallic and non-metallic piping products.
After the pipe itself, the next most important aspect of industrial and commercial piping are the valves. There are a wide variety of valves available in thermoplastic piping systems. Many of these are very similar in design and application to their metallic cousins but understanding the differences can result in successful applications that cannot be handled by metallic products. A key objective is to familiarize yourself with the many types of valves available and the proper application of each one.
Because plastic piping systems are used in very corrosive or high purity applications, many of the accessory items that are used with these products must have similar physical properties. Thus, a thorough knowledge of strainers, filters, pumps and actuation enables the candidate to provide his customer with a complete system that meets his needs. Identifying and satisfying the needs of a customer leads to successful relationships, perhaps the most important objective of anyone supplying thermoplastic piping products to their customers.
If you are interested in taking the PVF exam, you are encouraged to thoroughly read the study questions and exam content provided in the Candidate Handbook. Once you feel prepared to take the exam, enroll today!

Adrenocortical Cancer and Cushing's Syndrome
Novel (Undisclosed) Targets
ROR gamma antagonist
FIRST-IN-CLASS PIPELINE
Novel Antagonists Directed to Steroidogenic Factor-1 (SF-1)
Adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) is a rare cancer of the adrenal gland with an annual incidence of 0.7-2.0 per million population. Peak incidence occurs in the fourth decade of life. Surgical resection of the tumor is the mainstay of treatment with addition of adjuvant chemotherapy. Even with complete resection, the rate of recurrence ranges from 20% to 35% in those patients with no residual disease after surgery. The only FDA-approved drug, mitotane, is difficult to dose and has significant side effects. Other chemotherapy regimens tested have been unsuccessful in improving overall survival. There is an urgent need for new therapies.
In adult ACC, expression of the orphan nuclear receptor SF-1 correlates with poor patient survival. In pediatric ACC, the gene for SF-1 is consistently amplified, strongly suggesting that SF-1 is necessary for cancer growth. SF-1 is also a driver of adrenal development. Our therapeutic hypothesis is that an SF-1 based antagonist will extend patient survival in both the pediatric and adult forms of the disease.
Orphagen has identified the first potent small molecule antagonists to SF-1. These block tumor growth in experimental xenografts derived from a patient ACC tumor. Orphagen expects to nominate a development candidate in early 2021 and to initiate clinical trials in 2022.
Additional indications for an SF-1 antagonist could include a subset of ovarian serous carcinomas (about 5% of total) where SF-1 is expressed, and endometriosis, where SF-1 is ectopically induced.

Egypt's Constitutional Change and the Future of the Sisi Regime
By İsmail Numan Telci
The support that the U.S. and other European countries have shown for Sisi has encouraged Cairo to institutionalize its authoritarian rule. The referendum was an important step in this regard.
Lasheen Ibrahim, (5-R), head of the Egyptian National Elections Authority (NEA), attends a press conference at the NEA's headquarters to announce the results of the national referendum on the constitutional amendments extending the presidential term, potentially allowing Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah el-Sisi to stay in power until 2030.

The constitutional referendum that allowed Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi to extend his mandate until 2030 took place in Egypt. It is argued that the political environment in the country was not suitable for a referendum. As the apparatus of the regime and media strongly favored a "yes" vote, the advocates of the "no" vote did not have a chance to organize a campaign as opposition groups, including the Muslim Brotherhood, had boycotted the referendum.
The government also took measures to increase voter turnout. Organizing free shuttles to voting centers and distributing food-packages for those who proved that they had voted were among such measures. Despite these efforts, in comparison to previous elections and referendums, voter turnout was low. Official statements displayed a voter turnout of 44 percent. However, this figure was much lower according to international observers.
The referendum was strongly criticized by local and international human rights organizations. The Egyptian Front for Human Rights, the Nadeem Center, Amnesty International, and Human Rights Watch criticized the vote by stating that the referendum would have negative consequences for the country's future.
The voter turnout was low in Egypt's referendum in comparison to previous ones. Official statements displayed a voter turnout of 44 percent.
As was the case for previous elections and referendums, the result was in favor of the regime's plan. The constitutional amendments were adopted with 88.8% of voters approving the changes. The new articles adopted damage the principle of separation powers as the president is given the authority to appoint the heads of high judicial institutions. The military has also been granted new privileges, making the country more of an authoritarian regime.
Despite his unsuccessful tenure as president, opposition groups in the country have increasingly targeted Sisi. This is mainly due to the fact that since the military coup in 2013, Sisi has failed to achieve most of his policy objectives. His policies damaged democratic institutions, harmed social integrity among Egyptian society and deepened economic uncertainties while creating mistrust between the public and the state.
One of the most important miscalculations of the Sisi regime was the unlawful practice towards the Muslim Brotherhood organization. With its decades-long civil society activities in the country, the Muslim Brotherhood was considered as a powerful civil movement. Many Egyptians, including liberal and secular movements, criticized and blamed the Sisi regime for the brutal crackdown on the movement. Widening political pressure to other opposition groups has severely shaken the confidence of Egyptians about the Sisi regime. This has been particularly observed among the country's youth, who have no chance to freely express their ideas.
Local and international human rights organizations criticized the referendum, which will allow Sisi to extend his tenure until 2030.
A similar observation can be made about the country's economy. Despite its long-term repercussions, the Sisi regime signed an agreement with the IMF. The agreement brought heavy burden on Egyptians, particularly those with a low income. With increasing prices and unemployment, the living conditions of millions of people in Egypt deteriorated. Sisi's inability to find a solution to these problems has had a negative effect on the country's youth.
The Sisi regime has not been successful in implementing a strategy towards ending the violence and terrorism in the country. During the past years, security forces have suffered serious losses in the Egyptian army's comprehensive operations in the Sinai Peninsula, which have caused discomfort among the Egyptians. On the other hand, the Egyptian army's alleged attacks on civilian targets are also a source of concern.
Despite its weakness, some regional and international actors have been supporting the Sisi regime. This is mainly related to the strategic gains of these actors. Some countries that have benefited from the continuation of the Sisi regime include the United States, France, Germany, and Israel.
The constitutional amendments that were adopted in Egypt damage the principle of separation powers as the president is given the authority to appoint the heads of high judicial institutions.
Bilateral relations between Egypt and Israel have improved significantly during the Sisi period and the two countries have become strategic allies. This is of great importance for Israel in preventing the threats emerging from Arab countries in the region. As Tel-Aviv secured a reliable partner in regional politics, it has been able to expand its policies against Palestine. More, countries such as the U.S., France, and Germany benefit from Sisi's presence in strategic and economic terms. For Washington, Sisi is a strategic ally for U.S. policies towards the Arab world. Therefore, the U.S. administration provides support for the Sisi regime in exchange for Cairo's loyalty in regional politics.
European countries also benefit from Sisi's rule. Despite the country's economic crisis, Sisi has purchased French military equipment worth billions of Euros. These purchases have made a significant contribution to France's defense industry. Germany, on the other hand, supported the Sisi regime for Egypt's strategic position in preventing a new migration wave from Africa. Germany has additionally benefited from economic activities with Egypt.
The support that the U.S. and other European countries have shown for Sisi has encouraged Cairo to institutionalize its authoritarian rule.
Despite its oppressive policies since 2013, the support the U.S. and other European countries have shown Sisi has encouraged Cairo to institutionalize its authoritarian rule. The referendum was an important step in this regard. Despite the failures in domestic politics and economics, the Sisi regime has continued to survive especially due to the support that it has received from international powers. Therefore, it can be argued that the existence of the regime depends entirely on external support. Although there is strong discomfort within the domestic polity, the possibility of another popular uprising seems out of sight mainly due to the heavy pressure and oppression on any opposition towards the regime in Cairo.

7:30 PM / TCU Place (Satellite Event)
WINTERRUPTION: Polkarama with Walter Ostanek!
Polkarama with Canadian Polka King Walter Ostanek:
To grab tickets for this show, visit TCU Place's Website!
The story of "Canada's Polka King", Walter Ostanek begins in the small town of Duparquet, Quebec, where he was born Ladislav John Ostanek on April 20, 1935, of Slovenian heritage (decent). When he was four, Walter's family moved to the St.Catharines, Ontario area and by the age of nine, Walter began playing the button diatonic accordion. At age 12, he received his first piano accordion, and only four years later, in 1951, he broadened his horizons and formed his own group, his first Country Western/Polka Band. Two years later, he had joined with Abbie Andrews and the Canadian Ranch Boys, and was an instrumental part of their radio show, (three programs a week).
At age 21, Walter felt he was ready to proceed further on his own, and on Saturday, January 26, 1957, his new band played its first engagement at the German Village in Niagara Falls, Ontario the day had finally come after 13 years of study, hard work, and determination. Walter's dream had come true – the Walter Ostanek Band was now a reality.
The next milepost in Walter's life bears the date February 22, 1857, when he and his bride, Irene, exchanged their vows in marriage. With their two children, they now reside in St.Catharines, Ontario, Canada. In his leisure time, Walter favours a quiet evening at home, where he immerses himself in his favourite music, including Polkas and Country. Some of his favorite artists are; America's Polka King, Frankie Yankovic, and Country artists, Ray Price, George Strait, Randy Travis, Charlie Pride, George Jones, Alan Jackson, and Clint Black, to name a few. Some other favourite pastimes are collecting Polka and Country LP's and CD's, collecting autographs, and photography, video, and DVD recordings.
Other than working with the band, Walter owns "Walter Ostanek Music Centre Ltd." at 41 Geneva Street in St.Catharines, Ontario, Canada.
To Walter, the title "Canada's Polka King" is much more than just a name. It is a special honour that carries with it an obligation to a special dedication and a promise to his fans and followers that wherever and whenever the Walter Ostanek Band appears in public, the band will do their utmost to please the audience and keep them happy. Walter has given 53 years of dedication to his family, band, and in particular, to the promotion of Polka Music. At home his mailbox is shaped like an accordion. His band's truck license plate is "OSTANEK", and his cars are: "POLKA", "POLKA1", "POLKA2", "WALTZ", "4POLKA", and "1- WJO-1".
Walter works very hard at his craft and he expects, moreover, he demands that his fellow musicians do likewise…and when performing on stage, the result is a happy blend of enthusiasm and mutual respect. His obvious love of good music is combined with talent to create a winning combination that has earned Walter Ostanek the title, "Canada's Polka King"…and has earned the band a devoted audience.

Europe's largest military exercise marks first deployment of USN patrol squadron's P-8A Poseidon in UK
April 15, 2014 David Cenciotti Military Aviation 0
UK Armed Forces and several partner nations arms battled each other in the air, at sea and on land in Europe's largest military exercise this year.
From Mar. 31 to Apr. 12, Joint Warrior 14-1 saw over 35 warships, 25 types of aircraft and more than 13,000 military personnel focused on a realistic simulation of a live operation.
The core scenario of the Joint Warrior series of exercises (held twice a year in the UK) is based on the fragmentation of the fictional "Ryanian Empire" into its four constituent nations in the late 1960s, and the intervening period of "history" up to the present day.
A different scenario is then re-written for each edition. The 14-1 one simulated the creation of a multinational task force to perform a peace enforcing operation following a civil war in the fictional country of "Pastonia" and to support the legitimate government.
The aviation segment of the exercise saw RAF Lossiemouth as the drill's Main Operating Base and featured the U.S. P-8A Poseidon, from VP-5, NAS Jacksonville, at its first deployment in Europe with a front line squadron (the aircraft deployed to the UK with the VX-1 in 2012), along with several other Maritime Patrol Aircraft, including two Royal Canadian Air Force Lockheed CP-140 Aurora from 404 Maritime Patrol and Training Squadron, CFB Greenwood; a Royal New Zealand Air Force Lockheed P-3K Orion from 5 Squadron, Whenuapai Mil; and a Royal Norwegian Air Force Lockheed P-3C Orion from 333 skvadron, Andøya airbase.
Among the assets taking part in the exercise even some Royal Navy BAe Hawk T1 jets from 736 Naval Air Squadron RNAS Culdrose operating out of Lossiemouth.
Aviation photographer Estelle Calleja visited RAF Lossiemouth during the Joint Warrior 14-1 and took the images that can be found in this article.
