US Struggles to Speed Kabul Airlift Despite Taliban, Chaos

WASHINGTON — The United States is struggling to pick up the pace of American and Afghan evacuations at Kabul airport, constrained by obstacles ranging from armed Taliban checkpoints to paperwork problems. With an Aug. 31 deadline looming, tens of thousands remained to be airlifted from the chaotic country.
Taliban fighters and their checkpoints ringed the airport — major barriers for Afghans who fear that their past work with Westerners makes them prime targets for retribution. Hundreds of Afghans who lacked any papers or clearance for evacuation also congregated outside the airport, adding to the chaos that has prevented even some Afghans who do have papers and promises of flights from getting through.
It didn't help that many of the Taliban fighters could not read the documents.

In a hopeful sign, State Department spokesman Ned Price said in Washington that 6,000 people were cleared for evacuation Thursday and were expected to board military flights in coming hours. That would mark a major increase from recent days. About 2,000 passengers were flown out on each of the past two days, Pentagon spokesman John Kirby said.
Kirby said the military has aircraft available to evacuate 5,000 to 9,000 people per day, but until Thursday far fewer designated evacuees had been able to reach, and then enter, the airport.
Kirby told reporters the limiting factor has been available evacuees, not aircraft. He said efforts were underway to speed processing, including adding State Department consular officers to verify paperwork of Americans and Afghans who managed to get to the airport. Additional entry gates had been opened, he said.
And yet, at the current rate it would be difficult for the U.S. to evacuate all of the Americans and Afghans who are qualified for and seeking evacuation by Aug. 31. President Joe Biden said Wednesday he would ensure no American was left behind, even if that meant staying beyond August, an arbitrary deadline that he set weeks before the Taliban climaxed a stunning military victory by taking Kabul last weekend. It was not clear if Biden might consider extending the deadline for evacuees who aren't American citizens.
At the airport, military evacuation flights continued, but access remained difficult for many. On Thursday, Taliban militants fired into the air to try to control the crowds gathered at the airport's blast walls. Men, women and children fled. U.S. Navy fighter jets flew overhead, a standard military precaution but also a reminder to the Taliban that the U.S. has firepower to respond to a combat crisis.
There is no accurate figure of the number of people — Americans, Afghans or others — who are in need of evacuation as the process is almost entirely self-selecting. For example, the State Department says that when it ordered its nonessential embassy staff to leave Kabul in April after Biden's withdrawal announcement, fewer than 4,000 Americans had registered for security updates. The actual number, including dual U.S.-Afghan citizens along with family members, is likely much higher, with estimates ranging from 11,000 to 15,000. Tens of thousands of Afghans may also be in need of escape.

Compounding the uncertainty, the U.S. government has no way to track how many registered Americans may have left Afghanistan already. Some may have returned to the United States but others may have gone to third countries.
At the Pentagon, Kirby declined to say whether Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin had recommended to Biden that he extend the Aug. 31 deadline. Given the Taliban's takeover of the country, staying beyond that date would require at least the Taliban's acquiescence, he said. He said he knew of no such talks yet between U.S. and Taliban commanders, who have been in regular touch for days to limit conflict at the airport as part of what the White House has termed a "safe passage" agreement worked out on Sunday.
"I think it is just a fundamental fact of the reality of where we are, that communications and a certain measure of agreement with the Taliban on what we're trying to accomplish has to occur," Kirby said.
Of the approximately 2,000 people airlifted from the airport in the 24 hours ended Wednesday morning, nearly 300 were Americans, Kirby said. U.S. lawmakers were briefed Thursday morning that 6,741 people had been evacuated since Aug. 14, including 1,762 American citizens and Green Card holders, according to two congressional aides.
Although Afghanistan had been a hotspot for the coronavirus pandemic, the State Department said Thursday that evacuees are not required to get negative COVID-19 results.
"A blanket humanitarian waiver has been implemented for COVID-19 testing for all persons the U.S. government is relocating from Afghanistan," the department said. Medical exams, including COVID-19 tests, had been required for evacuees prior to the Taliban's takeover of Kabul, which added extra urgency to efforts to get at-risk Afghans out.

Additional American troops continued to arrive at the airport. As of Thursday there were about 5,200, including Marines who specialize in evacuation coordination and an Air Force unit that specializes in emergency airport operations. Biden has authorized a total deployment of about 6,000.
Hoping to secure evacuation seats are American citizens and other foreigners, Afghan allies of the Western forces, and women, journalists, activists and others most at risk from the fundamentalist Taliban.
In June, more than 20 diplomats at the U.S. Embassy in Kabul registered their concerns that the evacuation of Afghans who had worked for America was not proceeding quickly enough.
In a cable sent through the State Department's dissent channel, a time-honored method for foreign service officers to register opposition to administration policies, the diplomats said the situation on the ground was dire, that the Taliban would likely seize control of the capital within months of the Aug. 31 pullout, and urged the administration to immediately begin a concerted evacuation effort, according to officials familiar with the document.
Will U.S. troops go beyond the airport perimeter to collect and escort people? Austin suggested on Wednesday that this was not currently feasible. "We don't have the capability to go out and collect large numbers of people," he told reporters.
Austin added that evacuations would continue "until the clock runs out or we run out of capability."
Afghans in danger because of their work with the U.S. military or U.S organizations, and Americans scrambling to get them out, also pleaded with Washington to cut the red tape that has complicated matters.
"If we don't sort this out, we'll literally be condemning people to death," said Marina Kielpinski LeGree, the American head of a nonprofit, Ascend. The organization's young Afghan female colleagues were in the mass of people waiting for flights at the airport in the wake of days of mayhem, tear gas and gunshots.

Canadian demographics impact cultural shifts
Reviewed by: Scott MacKay
Posted: 4:00 AM CDT Saturday, May. 2, 2020
'Here we go again" was the first thought while unsealing Darrell Bricker's newest study from the envelope the Winnipeg Free Press had sent to my isolated home. Surely this new work — Next: Where to Live, What to Buy and Who Will Lead Canada's Future — would suffer the same cruel invalidation that every other pre-pandemic prognostication must experience in these strange times.
This article was published 2/5/2020 (628 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
'Here we go again" was the first thought while unsealing Darrell Bricker's newest study from the envelope the Winnipeg Free Press had sent to my isolated home. Surely this new work — Next: Where to Live, What to Buy and Who Will Lead Canada's Future — would suffer the same cruel invalidation that every other pre-pandemic prognostication must experience in these strange times.
But in a sense, Bricker has dodged a COVID-19 bullet, as his focus throughout this volume is on Canadian demographics, complete with its recurrent reminder of how these mighty, slow-moving and mostly irreversible forces affect society today and tomorrow. Take that, pandemic.
Bricker is CEO of Ipsos Public Affairs, a global marketing research company. This is Bricker's third book on population trends and follows Empty Planet and The Big Shift, both of which he co-authored with the Globe and Mail's former chief political writer John Ibbitson. (Disclosure: This reviewer crossed paths with Bricker in the early '90s while working at what was then the Angus Reid Group.)
Much of the focus of Bricker's new solo work is on generational groups, particularly on what he maintains are the miscalculated "Perennials" (basically anyone over 55). It is these comfortable silver-haired boomers who continue to dominate and shape our social values and consumer trends, mostly by the sheer potency of their numbers and their relative prosperity.
At the opposite end of this generational spectrum are millennials, who face a grinding existence defined by delayed or disrupted ambitions. At every turn, Bricker asserts, millennials face the discouraging obstacles of escalating tuition fees, prohibitive real estate prices and very real job and career barriers. These challenges are partly a result of the perennials, who now tend to live and work longer than ever before.

Aside from his focus on the generations, Bricker uses an accessible and breezy approach to lead the reader through other major demographic headwaters including the relative growth and influence of Canada's West, the continued rise of urban (and especially suburban) Canada and the social, political and commercial ascendance of women as a major force.
For all of the aridness that one might expect to colour any discussion of demographics, Bricker is not afraid to take a stand or weigh in on controversial or delicate issues.
For example, in his chapter "Why Diversity Is Not Our Strength," the author deconstructs the drivers of modern political populism and concludes that disadvantage and inequality cannot fully explain "Trumpian" populism or even the U.K.'s Brexit impetus. Rather, Bricker insists, these dark cultural motivations are mostly inspired by kind of "nativism" and resentment of the cultural changes being brought about by immigration.
Disturbingly, this kind of populism may be particularly relevant for Canada's future, as almost all our population growth now comes from newcomers. And while 46 per cent of Americans now agree that immigration is causing that country to change in undesirable ways, a full 40 per cent hold this same sentiment here.
Next is a well-considered, factually dense and readable book that will be appreciated by those interested in Canadian population, society and our shared future.

9 Historically-Inspired Pornos That Never Made It
The document is also famous for requiring King John to adhere to a predetermined safe word
9. Magnum Carta
In a shocking display of civic and sexual liberty, a group of well-endowed barons fight against the tyranny of King John "Softsword" of England by proclaiming their freedom from arbitrary sexual mores. A merry jaunt throughout the English countryside ensues, including a "jousting" match with King Arthur over Guinevere, an ill-fated run in with the Duke of Cunterbury, and an intense search for the Holy Grail of Virility in a nunnery. This historical work is sure to probe the annals of history with by transporting the audience back to the days before body-shaving became an accepted social practice.
8. Battle of Assterlitz
In this no-holes barred epic sparring match between three emperors, Napoleon proves that it's not size that matters, but how you use it. Making up for his diminutive height with excessive girth, Napoleon (a.k.a. "The Dicka from Corsica") dominates Alexander I before introducing the liberal French concept of mutual oral sex to Central Europe and instituting the Napoleonic Bro-Code over all his subjects. Russian novelist Leo Tolstoy would later chronicle the event in his famed 1400-page historical novel War and Peace and Splooge
Armstrong sexiling Aldrin from the lunar module
7. Full Moon Landing
The year 1969 just got even better. Famed astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin decide to take their American thrusters up to the moon to try and go where no man has ever gone before. After "planting their flag" in extra-terrestrial terrain, the two men then troll for martian babes in their lunar rover, eventually finding three sisters named the Sirens of Titan to engage in some of the most captivating zero-gravity zallywhacking caught on tape. Conspiracy theorists still claim that Armstrong's landing was faked, but Full Moon Landing's point-of-view evidence is hard to ignore.
6. Pythagoras and the Love Triangle
Two Athenian women. One Greek philosopher. Triangles have never been so scintillating and geometry has never been cooler, as Pythagoras learns how to solve one of the most complex dilemmas of all time with just a simple right angle.
And you thought that today's porn stars had weird facial hair
5. Pickett's Large!
July 3, 1863 was a day that shook America, as thousands of sexually frustrated women from both sides of the Mason-Dixon line marched uphill across a mile-long plain in pursuit of charming, pretty-boy Confederate general George Pickett's notoriously gargantuan package. A ferocious battle ensued, as the hungry hordes fought amongst themselves viciously for the commander's famed freakstick. After a sweltering afternoon full of girl-on-girl action, the victor of the bi-curious competition would ruefully be Mary Todd Lincoln, renowned leg-spreader. Years later, her only reflections on the experience would be: "Well, he certainly wasn't a Little Round Top!"
4. Gang of Six
Balancing the budget has never been sexier as these six senators are forced to put aside their partisan differences in order to raise the roof (and the debt ceiling) with their clout. In the craziest sex act Congress has witnessed since Speaker of the House Boehner fellated every member of the Tea Party in 2010, Sen. Sexby Chambliss (R, GA) and Sen. Tricky-Dick Durbin (D, IL) spearhead a mind-boggling orgy of budget cuts and tax-raising that leaves Sen. Kent Cumrad (D, ND) shrieking in ecstasy and Sen. Tom Cobourn (R, OK) laying in the corner covered in body fluid and defaulted U.S. government bonds. Directed by Harry Reid and produced by President Obama, this masterpiece has received rave reviews that suggest it might be the best American political porno since Ronald Rumpleforeskin Invades Grenada: Operation Urgent Fury.
She was also in flagrant violation of Charles VII's "Don't Ask Don't Tell" policy
3. Joan of Arc: The Maid of Orlèans
Claiming divine guidance, Joan attempts to throw off the shackles of English rule by sleeping with as many English soldiers as possible to convince them of France's sexual superiority. Originally force to disguise herself as a man, a task she excels at, Joan miraculously lifts the siege of Orlèans with a simple lift of her skirt. After a role-play incident involving a witch's costume goes terribly awry, however, she is burned at the stake for heresy. She was later exonerated, and named the patron saint of the French and trannies everywhere.
2. The Boobonic Plague
14th Century Europe gets rocked by the greatest disease ever witnessed. When Europe's female population is exposed to this infection, they experience surprisingly large growth in the chest area and ravenous sexual desire, nearly overwhelming the male population and spreading the disease like wildfire. Bawdier than one of Chaucer's wet dreams and starring Brooklyn Decker and Pamela Anderson as two serfs desperately searching for a cure before their backs break, this film tells the tale of how one epidemic forever changed the face, and breasts, of Europe.
Bet 7th Grade Social Studies never taught you about Revere's whip fetish
1. One If By Rear, Two If By Mouth
The British are cumming! Since a young age, we've been told all about Paul Revere's heroic journey through the American colonies to warn his fellow countrymen of the approaching British, but we've never had as much exposure to the other aspect of his legend – his insatiable sexual appetite. In this classic, Revere tours the Original 13, regaling his female compatriots with his glorious meat-staff and giving a whole new meaning to "Paul Revere's ride." Don't miss the plot twist at the end of the story, as Revere joins forces with his old wingman William Dawes to double the level of pre-revolutionary plowing.

Q: user permissions in shared folder I have a pair of users on an ssh Server. lets call them UserX & UserY.
UserX has the home Dir /home/userX
UserY has the home Dir /home/userX
Both are members of the userX group.
UserX has no problems, everything is cool, and working fine.
UserY may read Files in his home directory, but cannot write files.
How can I give full access permissions (rwx) to UserY?

A: chmod 771 -R /home/UserX

This will give rwx permissions to both the owner and the members of the group that the owner belongs to. The first 7 gives the owner rwx permissions, the second gives rwx to the group and the third bit is everyone else. The -R flag is the recursive option. Everyone else with just have execute permissions (Hence the third bit in the triplex there). You could change this if you wanted different permissions for the global user (not the owner or part of the group).
Alternatively you can use:
chmod g+rwxs /home/UserX

This will ensure that future files created in the directory are owned by the group and have rwx permissions.

Q: Java: I have joda Start and End DateTime, how would I slice it into N pieces? I have a start Date and end Date and hence I have a duration it could be a small duration in hours or it could be a long duration in years, how can I slice it up in number of equal pieces of duration, for example :
below duration is of approx. 1 month
startDate = 2017-03-01 00:00:00.000Z
endDate = 2017-04-01 00:00:00.000Z

How would I slice it up in 2 equal pieces ?
something like below :
startDate1 =  2017-03-01 00:00:00.000Z
endDate1 = 2017-03-15 00:00:00.000Z

startDate2 = 2017-03-15 00:00:00.000Z
endDate2 = 2017-04-01 00:00:00.000Z

A: Assuming you are using LocalData, use the function 'getLocalMillis' for both dates, then loop from start to end with an interval of your choosing.
Pseudocode:
long start = startDate.getLocalMillis();
long end = endDate.getLocalMillis();
long interval = (end-start)/numberOfIntervals;
for(long i = start+interval; i < end; i+=interval){
  LocalDate ld = new LocalDate(i);
  //do something with ld
}

A: In Case some is looking equal denominator between given time here is code.
private List<Interval> splitDateTime(long start, long end, int intervalNo) {
        long interval = (end - start) / intervalNo;
        List<Interval> list = new ArrayList<Interval>();
        for (long i = start + interval; i < end; i += interval) {
            list.add(new Interval(start, i));
            start=start + interval;
        }
        list.add(new Interval(start, end));
        return list;
    }


It is vitally important that you showcase your Carson City business, products and services in the best light.
Web designers in Carson City are great at design, but typically do not know how to properly build a website because they are not developers. An improperly developed website often needs to be re-built from the ground up. Slow page loading times and compatibility issues are the top issues we run into.
We absolutely do not recommend a build it yourself website. It takes years of experience to plan, develop and deploy a website correctly. There is no shortage of freely available drag and drop website builders. Most of the free solutions monetize their products by placing ads on your website. Generally it is easy for someone without technical knowledge to modify the pre-built templates by adding photos and changing some colors. These pre-built templates work on mobile devices as well. The goal of most website's is to show up on page one of Google, however the lack of flexibility with do-it-yourself website tools makes this very difficult. How fast your website loads and displays is important. Having total control of where elements are locasted is essential for SEO.
Proper search engine optimization should start from the very first meeting. Proper structure and organization is generally the first step in SEO.

Zinobiani (), formerly Oktomberi (, between 1938 and 2010) is a village in Georgia. It is located in eastern Georgia, in the Qvareli Municipality of the Kakheti region. It has been one of the main places of compact residence of the Udis since 1920s.

History
It was founded in 1922 by Orthodox Udis from the city of Vartashen (modern Oğuz, Azerbaijan), who came to Georgia in search of refuge from Armenian-Azerbaijani conflict of 1918-1920s. The resettlement was led by Zinobi Silikashvili. The first group of settlers arrived in 1922 and chose a place for settlement, in 1924 further 22 families settled there. Silikashvili was arrested and executed in 1938, village was renamed Oktomberi until 2010.

Population

According to the 1989 census, the number of Udis in Georgia was estimated at 93 people. At the beginning of the 21st century there were about 50 Udi households in the village, or about 300 people. According to the 2002 census, out of 412 villagers, Georgians made up 49%, Udis - also 49% or 203 people.

Living in a Georgian environment, the Zinobiani Udis underwent significant assimilation. Until the 1950s the marriages of the villagers were concluded only between the Udis, including the ones from Azerbaijan (from Nij and Vartashen). Since the 1950s contacts with Georgians became more intensive, since in connection with the introduction of compulsory secondary education, Udi pupils began to attend the neighboring Georgian village (there was only an 8-year school in Zinobiani itself). After the collapse of the USSR, the contacts of the Zinobiani with the Udi from Azerbaijan decreased and the process of assimilation intensified, often ended up with mixed Udi-Georgian marriages. According to Roland Topchishvili, out of 122 married couples currently living in the village, in 70 cases the wives are Udi (49 of them are natives of Zinobiani, others are natives of Nij and Vartashen), and in 47 cases the wives are Georgian.

The surnames of the Zinobiani Udis, as a rule, contain the Georgian suffix -shvili, cf. Silikov ~ Silikashvili, Bezhanov ~ Bezhanishvili, etc. In recent years, the model of forming a surname by adding the suffix -g'aria (from ) has also spread, cf. Bezhanishvili ~ Bezhanigaria.

Shame Around Mental Illness May Be Fading, Survey Shows
TUESDAY, May 7, 2019 (HealthDay News) -- Stigma regarding mental health could be disappearing in the United States, a new survey finds.
In the online poll of more than 1,000 adults, 87% said a mental disorder is nothing to be ashamed of, and 86% said they believe that people with such disorders can get better.
And a sizable group doesn't view the most common mental disorders as disorders -- 33% said that about anxiety and 22% said the same about depression, according to the survey recently released by the American Psychological Association (APA).
In all, 81% said they would be comfortable being friends with someone with a mental health disorder, and 79% would be at ease interacting with such a person.
Most respondents (59%) said they knew someone with a mental disorder -- personal experience that APA's CEO, Arthur Evans Jr., said helps fight stigma.
Even so, almost half (49%) would be uncomfortable dating someone with a mental disorder, and only 35% would approve of letting someone with a mental disorder care for a child.
And general fears persist: 33% said people with mental health disorders scare them. And 39% said they would view someone differently if they knew the person had a mental health diagnosis.
People who had experience with mental health disorders were more likely to be comfortable with them.
In all, 42% of those who had never had a mental health diagnosis or had never known someone who did were afraid of people with mental disorders. That compared to 27% of respondents who had themselves been diagnosed and 28% who knew someone who had, according to the survey conducted late last year.
"The results of this survey are encouraging, and a signal that APA's and others' work over the years to promote mental health care is paying off," Evans said in an APA news release. "They indicate a willingness to be more open about mental illness, as well as a strong belief among older respondents that having a mental disorder is nothing to be ashamed of."
The survey also assessed attitudes about suicide. More than 90% agreed that people who are suicidal can be treated and go on to live successful lives and that suicide can often be prevented.
Most also supported openness around suicide -- 87% said people should talk about suicide more openly, and 84% said people should not be ashamed to say a loved one died by suicide.
Nearly 4 of 5 respondents agreed that less stigma and shame around mental health disorders would lower suicide rates.
But 30% said that they would not reveal the cause of death if a loved one died by suicide, and 63% considered suicide a selfish act.
Overall, young adults reported the poorest mental health and the most shame around mental disorders.
In all, 27% of 18- to 34-year-olds said their mental health was fair or poor, compared to 20% of 35- to 64-year-olds; and 4% of respondents over 65.
About 78% of young adults said a mental health disorder was nothing to be ashamed of, compared with 92% of seniors and 89% of 35- to 64-year-olds.
"More young adults reported feeling shame and stigma surrounding mental health issues than their older peers," Evans said. "This points to the need for psychology to continue to educate the public so that more people understand that there is no shame associated with being mentally ill."
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has more on mental health.

Morpurgo perfection. A donkey as fast as a racehorse? Only a magical garden gnome can make this wish come true… In Dublin, where horses run wild in the fields near the tower blocks, Jackie dreams of owning her own horse – the fastest in the world. But all she has is Gran's old donkey, Barnaby. He's not only slow, he's as stubborn as a mule. Yet Jackie wishes Barnaby could run like a racehorse. And then a magical garden gnome, Mr Skip, grants her wish. Could Barnaby – 'the Superdonk' – really win the Irish Derby?
Michael Morpurgo is one of my favourite animal writers. He really goes into depth with the topic and I'm excited to read Singing for Mrs Pettigrew, which includes the meaning behind some of his stories!

Laura is a player that gives 100%, 100% of the time; she is a steadfast competitor who made a big sacrifice this season, moving from being a GB Running Back to taking on DB duties, simply because the team's needs dictated. Turning her hand however Laura finished the season as the Lions' leading interceptor before being selected at Outside Linebacker for Great Britain's recent European Championship campaign. Resolute and combative Laura is a real, deal brave-heart.
Laura is one of the Lions most consistent performers. Operating at the highest level every game, her carries, catches and blocks are undertaken with precision, finesse and power. Can be relied upon to make the big plays when it matters – the crucial fourth downs or the kamikaze catches – and as such is the Lions' leading points scorer this season.

Further on the aerospike demonstrator, here is the 2021 public trial (apparently using low flow rates of hydrocarbon fuel ?) compared to this recent test with hydrolox propellents.
Huge difference... Those are seriously more robust propellent lines.

The talk about an SSTO from such an engine as in the above video methinks is overblown. The theoretical ideal efficiency increase would be
about a factor of two mostly from the low altitude stage flight stage. But this is not enough to make SSTO cheap and easy. Also, the theoretical ideal efficiency boost is not reached in any prototype.

If you can't create an SSTO, you can put these engines on the first stage. Or create an exoatmospheric aircraft that can fly at an altitude of 50-80 kilometers.

GLONASS is fully populated with backups... why do you think they need to launch more GLONASS satellites?
Replacing them when they need replacing makes more sense than just launching for the sake of launching.
It is a good thing they don't have to launch more than one over that period... shows they are lasting longer and doing a better job.

Not exactly news, I think it was widely anticipated given the Kazakhs are again dragging ther feet on the Baiterek project and updating the Zenit pad.
Roskosmos confirmed the postponement of the Soyuz-5 test
August 10, 2022, AviaStat.ru - The head of the Ministry of Digital Development of Kazakhstan, Bagdat Musin, and the general director of Roscosmos , Yuri Borisov , during negotiations at Baikonur , noted the need to shift the dates for the start of the first test launch to 2024 under the Baiterek project
At the end of June, the Kazakh minister reported that the construction of the Baiterek complex at Baikonur for launching Soyuz-5 rockets had been moved due to the preparation of technical documentation, work would begin at the end of 2022 and should have been completed by August 2023, since it was planned to be in time test and launch the first Soyuz-5 before the end of the year.

better 5 liana satellites than 15 kosmos ones. Liana is 500 times more needed, because without it, Nato ships and ukrainian troop movements are very difficult to be targeted. Russia has not even 20% of Legenda coverage. China already has a Liana equivalent system fully built since early 2010s and is constantly being built up as of now.
China, due to its elites neoliberal being backstabbers completely ok with submitting to the rules based order, is refusing to link up beidou to glonass, so glonass should be #1 priority, not random comm or sabotage satelites. #2 priority is Liana.
Its good that 2 glonass were launched this year. Glonass needs to have at least 4-5m accuracy in the northern hemisphere even if 50% of its working satellites have been shot down.

Why do you think you know better what they do or do not need?
Liana satellites are interesting, but if they wanted more there is nothing stopping them building and launching more.
If you think Liana would help track Ukrainian troops movements then I think you don't quite understand what Liana is for.. tracking tiny groups of Ukainian forces would be impossible for Liana... it is for tracking ships amongst milliions of other ships... not individual soldiers amongst billions of people...
Russia has not even 20% of Legenda coverage. China already has a Liana equivalent system fully built since early 2010s and is constantly being built up as of now.
Legenda is a naval system for tracking ships... there is no value in seeing the worlds oceans and everything in them if you are essentially a coastal force that occasionally sends groups of ships on expeditions to the rest of the world.
Give it a decade or two and when the Russian Navy is rather more active then more naval satellites will make sense... having them all now would be a waste of money.
There is no real value for Russia in combining Russian and Chinese sat nav systems... having two independent systems makes more sense and can be combined to get even better precision.
That is not how it works... when 50% of GLONASS is shot down then GPS and Gallileo and most optical and radar and other satellites will also have been destroyed and Earth orbit will become chaotic with fragments showering other satellites and taking them out too... satellites will stop working... and world wide communication will also stop working... no one will care that their location doesn't work because nothing will.

IIRC this was the last of the Glonass-M birds, and that all future units will be Glonass-K2, which use Russian radiation-hardened components The K1 used up to 90% foreign components, so the K2 is a real success for the import substitution program following Western post-Maidan sanctions.

Another Soyuz launch
Soyuz-2.1b rocket with spacecraft launched from the Plesetsk cosmodrome
MOSCOW, 1 December. /TASS/. On Thursday, the Russian Aerospace Forces launched a Soyuz-2.1b carrier rocket with spacecraft in the interests of the Russian Defense Ministry from the Plesetsk cosmodrome. This was reported to journalists in the defense department.
"On December 1, 2022, from the Plesetsk cosmodrome (Arkhangelsk region), the combat crew of the space troops of the Aerospace Forces launched a Soyuz-2.1b medium-class launch vehicle with spacecraft in the interests of the Russian Defense Ministry," the ministry said.
The previous launch of the Soyuz-2.1b carrier rocket from Plesetsk took place on November 28, when a spacecraft was put into orbit in the interests of the Russian Defense Ministry.
They don't identify the payload but some believe it to be a Neitron reconnaissance satellite, while others assert that the orbital object has the standard orbit insertion parameters for a Lotos-S and its upper stage. Time will tell.

At the moment, it is assumed that this is a "Lotus-S" with some kind of associated payload in the form of small satellites. So far, two objects are observed in orbit - the upper stage of the rocket and the payload itself.

Russia will create a new plasma engine that will be used in deep space missions - what does it look like?, 12.17.2022.
The new engine will "need a nuclear power source" to work. Initially it will conduct "interplanetary flights, and in the future - flights to the edge of the solar system."
Russian scientists are building a new two-stage electrodeless plasma engine that will have the ability to electrically propel a spacecraft into deep space, the general director of the state-owned OKB Fakel company, Gennady Abramenkov, reported last week.
According to Abramenkov, the project of the "very high-power electric rocket motor, known as BPRD" (Russian acronym for 'electrodeless plasma rocket motor'), is being developed by the company under his charge with the scientific advice of the Kurchatov Institute.
The new engine, which "will need a nuclear power source" to work, will initially perform "interplanetary flights and, in the future, flights to the edge of the solar system."
As for its operation, Abramenkov explained that, being a plasma-based engine, this compound will flow through the central channel of the engine at high temperatures, so, "if it were not protected in any way, the entire central channel would burn out quickly or be completely consumed."
In addition, in order for the plasma to flow constantly without touching the walls of the central channel, for the purpose of creating the pushing force of the motor, these walls must be "effectively cooled", besides a high-density magnetic field must be generated inside the central channel. The official specified that the construction of the engine will take a long time, since the company is working for the first time with new physical principles and processes.
The SPD-230
On the other hand, Abramenkov announced that the tests of the new high-power stationary plasma thruster SPD-230, which was designed to significantly increase the mass of the payload put into orbit, have been completed.
"For the SPD-230, we have completed the development for the Roscosmos state corporation and the entire development test cycle," Abramenkov said, noting that the engine was completed ahead of schedule, so "there are no appliances for the engine yet," referring to the nuclear power source.
The director of OKB Fakel points out that his company is analyzing which spacecraft these new engines should be placed on, stating that they will be able to offer it "in various projects," including flights to the Moon, in order to "solve the problems" in the ships to reintroduce them into orbit. Abramenkov specified that they are studying the possibility of putting a spacecraft with stationary plasma engines into orbit without an upper stage.
OKB Fakel is considered one of the leading companies in Russia and the world in the development and manufacture of electric propulsion systems for spacecraft based on stationary plasma engines. These engines have the advantage of consuming less propellant than chemical combustion rockets, which lowers the cost of space missions. The engines they have built were installed on Russian and foreign satellite devices, including those of the GLONASS constellation.

That is the problem with interplanetary space flight... we send probes in the 1970s and then in the 2020s we create much more powerful and more efficient propulsion systems that could catch up and over take the probes already sent and perhaps take better readings regarding the conditions near the edge of our solar system and beyond...
A trip to Pluto and Charon would be interesting but also visiting substantial bodies in the Oort cloud would also be interesting too... such a power plant would be ideal for such a mission for testing long term operations in space, and a nuclear power plant would mean onboard systems could include radar and decent optics too...

Not really news, but worth highlighting the run of 98 succesful starts.
Borisov announced the successful completion of the launch campaign by Roscosmos
According to the CEO of the state corporation, there were 22 successful launches and 98 accident-free flights.
MOSCOW, 21 December. /TASS/. Roskosmos successfully completed the launch campaign this year, with 22 successful launches and 98 accident-free flights. This was stated by the general director of the state corporation Yuri Borisov on Wednesday on the air of the Russia-24 TV channel .
"We are finishing the year with 22 successful launches and continuing the series of accident-free flights, 98 accident-free flights," he said.
Borisov also noted that special attention will continue to be paid to "questions of the quality and reliability of the creation of rocket technology and automatic satellites."

The head of Roskosmos, Borisov, said that the nearest future plans are to build 2 new plants in Russia for the mass production of satellites for various purposes. Previously, plans were announced to significantly increase the satellite constellation, including in the interests of the Russian Defense Ministry.
It is certainly good that there are such plans and that such plants will appear. The significant backlog of the Russian Federation in terms of the number of satellites has been growing in previous years, and this has affected, among other things, the course of the SVO in Ukraine.
The moral is that the factories necessary for the country must be built on time, and not when in times of emergency.

Lie Of The Day (June 2, 2018)
President Trump may ask questions, even rhetorical ones, and even misleading ones without being accused of lying. And so he may ask, as he did on June 2, "Is the Special Counsel/Justice Department leaking my lawyers letters to the Fake News Media? Should be looking at Dems corruption instead?"
...."$17 million spent, it's a scam Investigation. Americans are being worked. We now know there was Russian collusion, with Russians and the Democrats. The Mueller team is stacked with anti-Trumpers, who actually represented Clinton people (& gave $'s to Crooked H)." Dan Bongino
In the vast majority of cases, the leaks pertaining to the Special Counsel's investigation are coming from his side. The "fake news media" doesn't exist, unless Trump is referring to the National Enquirer, Breitbart, and much of the rest of the right-wing media, which he is not.
The President is entitled also to refer to "this very expensive Witch Hunt Hoax." However, it has cost (as Trump noted) approximately $17 million compared to Ken Starr's late 1980s probe, which started as an investigation into an Arkansas land deal but went far afield, That $40 million would be equivalent to more than $60 million in 2018 dollars.
However, Mr. Trump is not entitled to claim "there was no collusion with Russia (except by the Democrats)" without being called out for it.
Unless he is delusional, he knows there was no collusion by the Democrats. Moreover, he does not claim that he did not collude with Russia, which is debatable, but that there was no collusion with the Russians by his gang.
Sorry, gang, but that's extremely close to inconceivable. On May 1, Jonathan Chait cited as evidence of collusion Paul Manafort, George Papadopoulos, Peter W. Smith, Roger Stone, and
Then of course there is the 2016 Trump Tower meeting. I would argue that the publicly available information pertaining to that episode amounts to proof of Trump campaign collusion with Russia. You have a Russian agent dangling Russian assistance in the election ("part of Russia and its government's support for Mr. Trump"), and the offer of help being accepted ("if it's what you say I love it"). ..
The report from Democrats on the House Intelligence Committee reports that, on June 6, 2016, Donald Trump Jr. made two phone calls with Emin Agalarov. In between those two calls — which, based on emails he exchanged around that time with Rob Goldstone, indicate Trump successfully arranged the meeting during the calls — Donald Jr. made another call. Phone records show the call, at 4:27 p.m., was to a blocked phone number. Corey Lewandowski told the House Intelligence Committee that Donald Trump had a blocked phone number....
There is clear forensic evidence to show that Donald Trump, Jr. called somebody, quite likely his father, while he was rushing to set up the Trump Tower meeting. House Republicans blocked an effort to prove that Donald Trump was the person he called.
Further, this weekend we learned
The bombshell 20-page letter written by Donald Trump's attorneys to special counsel Robert Mueller early this year and obtained by The New York Times Saturday includes the intriguing revelation that the president "dictated" the misleading statement about Donald Trump Jr.'s controversial meeting with a Russian representative during the 2016 election.
Trump's eldest son met at Trump Tower in Manhattan in June 2016 with Kremlin-linked attorney Natalia Veselnitskaya, who said she could deliver damaging information on Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.
After the Times reported on the Trump Tower meeting last summer, "The president dictated a short but accurate response ... on behalf of his son," stated the newly obtained letter, written by Trump attorneys Jay Sekulow and John Dowd (who has since left the Trump legal team).
By one interpretation, President Trump knows his side colluded and the other didn't. By a more generous interpretation, he knows there was collusion on his side and assumes everyone similarly acts in bad faith. In either case, he lied in his Saturday evening tweet.

National Elk Refuge
National Elk Refuge: Our most recommended tours and activities
1. Jackson: Grand Teton and National Elk Refuge Winter Day Trip
After an early morning pickup from your hotel, your guide will take you to Grand Teton National Park. Even in the chilling winter, wildlife such as moose, bison, bighorn sheep, elk, mule deer, bald eagles, golden eagles, pronghorn, coyotes, and even wolves can be spotted in the park. You will witness the beauty of the wide, snowy plains that stretch out to the jagged mountains as you learn about the ancient geology that gave rise to the landscape. At midday, escape the cold and enjoy lunch at a local restaurant in the famous western-cowboy town of Jackson, Wyoming. After lunch, you will head back outside for a horse-drawn sleigh ride on the National Elk Refuge, carrying you through the low valley that hosts thousands of wintering elk. Snap photos of the large herds as your guide explains how the elk migrate from the surrounding area to the refuge, a 24,700-acre (9,996-hectare) winter sanctuary hosting 47 different mammals and nearly 175 species of birds such as trumpeter swans and bald eagles. At the end of a memorable 8-hour tour of this winter wonderland, you will return to your hotel.
2. Grand Teton National Park: Wildlife Tour and Sleigh Ride
Discover Grand Teton National Park during the winter on a full-day tour from Jackson Hole. View wildlife and learn about the history, geology, wildlife, and more from your local and professional guide. Spend the day looking for moose, elk, bighorn sheep, wolves, eagles, foxes, and other wildlife. Weather permitting, visit beautiful sights such as Oxbow Bend and Jackson Lake. From mid-December to early April, this tour includes a 60-minute horse-drawn sleigh ride on the National Elk Refuge. Get up close to large elk for fantastic photo opportunities. During the shoulder season, the tour does not include a sleigh ride. Instead, spend more time spotting wildlife. After an exciting day and plenty of great photos, the tour will end at the same location where you were picked up.
3. Jackson: 4-Day Grand Teton & Yellowstone Winter Tour
• Day 1: Grand Teton National Park and the National Elk Refuge Meet your friendly guide and group and head off for an afternoon wildlife tour in Grand Teton National Park and the National Elk Refuge in a heated Suburban or other 10-passenger vehicle. On the tour, you'll have your best chance of seeing moose in the park, along with wolves, coyotes, bighorn sheep, mule deer, and bison. Settle in for the night at your accommodation in Jackson, Wyoming. • Day 2: National Elk Refuge sleigh ride and West Yellowstone, Montana Depart in the early morning from your Jackson lodging for a sleigh ride in the National Elk Refuge, filled with over 5,000 elk. After the ride, the tour will continue through Grand Teton National Park to West Yellowstone. Cross over the Continental Divide and enjoy some free time to shop in the historic town of West Yellowstone upon arrival. Spend the night at an accommodation in West Yellowstone, Montana. • Day 3: Snowcoach tour into Yellowstone National Park Depart in the morning for a wintery visit to Yellowstone. Hop on the specialized winter vehicle that will take you to see the famous Old Faithful. Along the way, keep an eye out for bison and elk, and admire the beautiful scenery as you proceed toward the Madison River. Stops include Fountain Paint Pots and Old Faithful, where you can see geysers erupt and explore the area on foot. After lunch, head back to West Yellowstone, stopping for photos along the way. Spend the night in West Yellowstone, Montana. • Day 4: West Yellowstone National Park to Jackson Hole, Wyoming Leave West Yellowstone in the morning and set off on a trip to the geological site where the Hebgen Lake Earthquake of 1959 occurred. Sit back, relax, and marvel at the beautiful winter scenery and deep snow on your way back through Island Park and on to Jackson Hole, where the tour will end.
4. Wyoming: Grand Teton National Park Self-Guided Driving Tour
Embark on a self-guided tour of Grand Teton National Park using an app that functions as your guide, audio tour, and map. Discover the park's most spectacular lookouts, learn about its history, and get to know the local wildlife. Start your adventure by downloading the app that will serve as your personal guide throughout this trip. Then, head to the Jackson Hole Visitor Center where you'll find everything you need to start your journey. From here, make your way toward Teton Village while you learn about the unusual history of Jackson Hole and the formation of the Tetons themselves. Your drive will take you through the Laurence S. Rockefeller Preserve, a 1,106-acre refuge within the park. See landmarks like the Chapel of the Transfiguration, a relic of a bygone era, and Mount Moran, rising a staggering 6,000 feet above the lake at its base. Drive through Colter Bay, one of the premier camping spots in the park and a great place to stop if you plan to spend the night. Visit Cattleman's Bridge and marvel at the views from Oxbow Bend. Discover one of the clearest lakes in the whole country and take an optional ferry across the lake to a lovely lookout point. End your tour of the park at the National Elk Refuge, home to the biggest herd of elk on earth.
5. Grand Teton National Park: 8-Hour Willdlife & Snowshoe Tour
Delight in a full-day expedition to Grand Teton National Park from Jackson. Spend the first half of the day adventuring via snowshoe in the park, then take a safari-style drive to discover the local wildlife in the afternoon. Throughout the day, benefit from the services of a naturalist guide who will lead discussions on topics of your interest and provide you with ample time to take photographs. Begin your day by meeting your guide in the town of Jackson to maximize your time in the park. After entering the national park, explore the back-country on snowshoes. Keep an eye out for animal tracks and signs, discuss topics like winter ecology and snow science, and be treated to a variety of high-quality snacks in the field. Then, head back to the car for lunch at a local resort or a restaurant before focusing on viewing wildlife in the afternoon. Sit back and relax in a fully outfitted safari-style rig with a guaranteed window seat for everyone. With the aid of high-quality binoculars and spotting scopes, peruse amazing winter habitats in search of critters such as bighorn sheep, elk, moose, deer, coyote, fox, eagles, trumpeter swans, and more.

What people are saying about National Elk Refuge
Where do I begin? Sarah was our tour guide and her knowledge of the area was incredible. This was our first time out to Idaho/Wyoming and it was something we will never forget. Sarah knew where to go so we were able to see Moose, Bison, Mule Deer, Elk, Big Horn Sheep, an immature Eagle, and a coyote. For me she was so much more than just a tour guide, she helped me with my little kids and went above and beyond to make sure we were happy and comfortable. She made the day feel like it was spent with family. I highly recommend this guided tour, it was private and everything I wanted and more!!!

Home / Blogs / Bernadette Meaden's blog / A UKIP government in all but name?
A UKIP government in all but name?
By Bernadette Meaden
You may be in pain because of a delayed operation. You may be unable to get social care for a frail parent. You may be worrying that your child's school is about to lose teachers. You may be facing eviction because you can't afford the rent. You may be unable to put food on the table and need to use a foodbank. You may be barely able to walk and have an adapted car taken away from you. You may be struggling with mental illness and repeatedly sanctioned for not meeting the Jobcentre's demands. You may be pregnant with your third child and just realising that, as far as the state is concerned, it's now an unwanted child.
But if you don't vote Conservative on 8 June, you'll be blocking the will of the people.
This was my interpretation of Theresa May's speech in Downing Street yesterday. I found it vaguely sinister and profoundly anti-democratic. What the Prime Minster seemed to be saying was that she can brook no opposition. Brexit, her kind of Brexit, is such an overriding priority that the normal conditions of democracy are somehow suspended. Politicians who represent the views of almost half those who voted in the referendum are, by representing those views in Parliament, being in some way traitorous. Whilst Mrs May was claiming she wanted to bring people together, what she appeared to be actually trying to do was to eliminate dissent.
I wondered if my interpretation was extreme –until I heard an interview with Conservative peer Patience Wheatcroft, who was clearly disturbed by the speech, expressing her fears in a measured and subtle way. Asked about what Mrs May had said about those she perceived to be 'blocking' Brexit, this Conservative Peer said, "I don't live in a one party state. I don't live in a state, I hope, where even within one party there isn't room for a variety of views"
She also said that in her view Mrs May wanted a mandate to do things, "that people in in the Conservative party and Conservative voters didn't vote for" explaining "I would have grave fears, for instance, for the aid budget." Asked if she thought Mrs May would take the party further right, she diplomatically replied, "I think it's interesting that the UKIP vote has gone down and the Conservative vote has gone up by about the same amount." In fact, it has already been noted that since she came to office, Mrs May has effectively been delivering the 2015 UKIP manifesto.
This morning's newspapers gave further confirmation of the anti-democratic rightwards thrust the election campaign looks set to take. With headlines like "Crush the Saboteurs" and "Blue Murder – PM's snap poll will kill off Labour. She'll smash rebel Tories too" it was clear that the aggressively anti-democratic spirit of Mrs May's speech had come across loud and clear.
The way this election campaign is framed may determine the shape and nature of the UK for decades to come. Clearly the government and their friends in the media want it to be all about Brexit, with any opposition portrayed as frustrating 'the will of the people'. If this is allowed to happen then the government will not, as in a normal election, be held to account on their record.
It is up to us to bring the NHS, schools, social care, poverty, housing, homelessness and all the other issues we care about into the debate at every opportunity. Inside or outside the EU, in these areas it's the UK government's policies which are responsible for where we are and where we are going. Don't let an obsession with Brexit render them unaccountable. And let's hope we don't get a de facto UKIP government.

Hobby: Hang with friends, Shopping, Lookin for troble,I'm a stay at home mom. Hanging out with friends and family.
Just a young buck looking for some fun, up for anything just want to find people who have the same idea.
I met this guy online, and we are having quite a good relationship for one month, until he decided to meet up and we did. It was a great date for me. He's been showing a lot of interest on me during the date. i mean he checked me out like most of the time, he would stare and looked at me in the car and when we are having lunch. he hugged my shoulder, took me for a shopping, and insist me to take more stuff as he is willing to pay though i resist. he even call me all kind of petnames in public, hold my hand, open the car door for me, and we end our date with a kiss, and not to forget he did get erected when i was with him in the car. however, he started to disappear after the date, i texted him twice, but no response it has been 3 days now. and honestly i'm hurting,but i stopped chasing him. I believe he has lost interest. He traveled back to his town yesterday..but i think it is impossible that he 's too busy because u can always tell when someone appear online on whatsapp. I don't know what to do.. and really want to regain his interest back without being too desperate.
