According to the "Operational Environments to 2028: The Strategic Environment for Unified Land Operations" in #19. In 2012 Pentagon planned that post-2020, after Putin leaves by their estimates, NATO will be able to start an occupation of Russia.
In the US terms "combined operations" is something only possible under the conditions of NATO invasion.
From this leaked by Wikileaks document is obvious that the US and NATO were working with Medvedev into letting NATO to be in the Russian Arctic with the support of the "moderates" in his government. While reading about the "moderates" in Medvedev's government, who comes to mind but the "moderates" that had been used for the war on Syria.
The report mentions Andrei Kokoshin, currently a Management Board Member of the Institute of Contemporary Development, Dean of the Faculty of World Politics at Moscow State University, former State Duma Deputy and deputy head of the United Russia faction in the State Duma. He is a Member of the Supervisory Board of Open Joint Stock Company RusNano. Apparently, if I understand it correctly from this report, Andrei Kokoshin was giving the U.S. confidential information regarding the Russian government's strategic decisions, see #7.
"Although the future of Russia's defense industry is difficult to predict, current trends and government intent seem clear. The MOD's top priority is to provide salaries, food, and housing for its forces. In the proposed 1997 budget sequestration, those items are "safeguarded." The rest of the defense budget is to be cut by 37 percent (from 52 to 32 trillion rubles).
In the 90s, Kokoshin stood at the very center of the reform of the Armed Forces and military reforms.
In 2015. the ultra-liberal globalist voice the Moskovsky Komsololets called Andrei Kokoshin "a man who saved the defense industry." I take it as a joke.
Section #13 lists programs that the U.S. government wanted to use as a cover to keep pushing NATO into Russia's territory, or in their doublespeak: they tried to boost the power of the "moderates" inside the government "Under the framework of either multilateral or bilateral cooperation, Notice the last sentence about Medvedev's "remarks," that those were programs that "will be difficult to fulfill without outside expertise." Which only meant that the domestic technologies and expertise in the developing of the Russian Arctic would be placed on ice.
Classified By: Political M/C Alice G. Wells for Reasons 1.4 (b) and (d) .
(C) In March, Medvedev approved Russia's long-delayed Arctic policy. It defined the region as Russia's strategic energy reserve, called for its promotion as a transportation corridor, and sought to balance cooperation with the country's security needs. The policy itself reflects competing voices within the GOR, with security officials emphasizing the deployment of Federal Security Service (FSB) forces and the Russian Foreign Ministry calling for cooperation (although the GOR remains universally allergic to NATO's presence in the region).
The State Duma is now considering a draft law on managing the Northern Sea Route and the new policy supports additional FSB coast guard and coastal stations to monitor the expected increase in sea lane traffic. The GOR continues to abide by its commitments under UNCLOS, although Presidential Envoy Chilingarov has called for Russian withdrawal, if the states parties do not agree to Russia's territorial claims. The GOR is ambivalent on global warming, seeing both positive and negative effects from the melting Arctic ice. Analysts discount the near-term viability of the Arctic as a major source for commercially feasible hydro-carbons, and point out that there are more easily accessible fields that Russia has not yet exploited. Joint U.S. and Russian efforts in the Arctic could encourage Russian moderates to pursue cooperation, rather than competition, in the region, with the MFA already proposing some specific projects.
(SBU) On March 27, the GOR released its long-delayed "Foundations of the Russian Federation National Policy in the Arctic Until 2020 and Beyond." President Medvedev chartered the policy September 17, 2008 at a special meeting of the Russian Security Council on Franz-Josef Land (the northernmost Russian territory in the Arctic Ocean). Originally scheduled for release in December 2008, the policy presented the four fundamental national interests of the GOR in the Arctic: its use as a strategic resource base, the preservation of peace and cooperation in the Arctic, the protection of the region's unique ecology, and the establishment of the Northern Sea Route as "exclusive" to the GOR.
emergency response support would conspire to make the cost of insurance for the Northern Sea Route unfeasible.
(SBU) The Arctic region, both within Russia's legally clarified borders and in areas beyond, likely holds vast untapped resources of oil and gas. While many Russian analysts are skeptical that any of these resources will be economically exploitable in the near future, the Russian leadership wants to secure sovereignty over these "strategic" resources. Many analysts point to the fact that Russia has not yet begun to exploit much more accessible potential resources on its territory. Gazprom's plans, for example, to develop new gas fields in the Yamal peninsula have been pending for years. Furthermore, those development plans will likely move much more slowly than had been previously anticipated, given currently declining gas demand in the region and an extremely tight financing environment. The Shtokman gas field in the Barents Sea, even given recent movements toward its development, will likely not produce gas until about 2020. Developments further afield in Arctic territory would likely not materialize, if ever, for many decades. Russia would need many tens of billions of dollars of investment, both in development and in related infrastructure, and would need new technologies, which Russia would seek from potential foreign partners. Finally, gas or oil from the Arctic would have to compete on world markets with other oil and gas sources as well as other non-hydrocarbon sources.
(SBU) State Duma Foreign Affairs Committee Chair Konstantin Kosachev told CODEL Levin April 15, that climate change "was not a matter of any concern," and added that it may work to Russia's advantage by reducing the cost of transportation and easing access to petroleum resources in the far north (Ref A). Despite potential economic benefits, influential voices in the Russian scientific community disagree with Kosachev, acknowledging that climate change also poses a danger. A November 2008 report on climate change by Russia's Federal Hydrometeorological Service (Roshydromet) noted that the minimum seasonal level of Arctic sea ice has receded by 9 percent per decade since satellite observations began in 1979; in September 2007, the ice cover reached the lowest level ever recorded (Ref B) Roshydromet noted that climate change affected the Arctic region disproportionately compared to lower latitudes. The habitat of such threatened species as the polar bear have especially suffered. Warming could increase the spread of certain vector-borne diseases, negatively affecting human health. Large-scale permafrost melting threatens Russian cities, such as Yakutsk, whose foundations are built on permafrost (Ref C).
(SBU) In light of environmental concerns, the GOR supports cooperation on environmental programs with the United States and the other Arctic littoral countries. Through the Arctic Council, Russian Arctic indigenous communities are cooperating with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) on pollution remediation programs; the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is cooperating with Roshydromet on climate monitoring programs in the Arctic. On April 17, the MFA approached the Embassy to request cooperation on a wide range of long-stalled Bering Strait initiatives, including nature protection, oil and gas exploration, and sea shipping and transport (Ref D).
claim he tried to bolster when he planted a Russian flag below the North Pole in August 2007). Andrey Kokoshin, First Deputy Chairman of the Duma's Science and High Technology Committee (please strictly protect) told us Chilingarov was following orders from the ruling United Russia party. Although, Kokoshin was skeptical that Russia and the United States would be able to agree on a high-profile summit deliverable in the Arctic because of expected opposition from the military and security services.
(SBU) Despite on-going efforts to renew U.S.-Russian relations, some Russian voices have called the situation in the Arctic a "cold peace" vis-a-vis NATO and the U.S. In April 2008, Russian Navy head Admiral Vladimir Vysotsky said, "While in the Arctic there is peace and stability, however, one cannot exclude that in the future there will be a redistribution of power, up to armed intervention." His statements preceded the July deployment of Russian Northern Fleet missile cruiser "Marshall Ustinov" and anti-submarine ships off the coast of Spitsbergen to coincide with fishing season, and the Russian submarine "Ryazan's" September underwater transit of the Arctic ice sheet, a first since the end of the Cold War.
(SBU) Security Council Secretary Nikolay Patrushev in an interview published in the online media outlet Gazeta.ru March 30 also posited a zero-sum view of the Arctic, assessing that "It is clear that (developments do) not coincide with the economic, geopolitical, and defense interests of Russia (in the Arctic) and is a systemic threat to its national security." In a March 31 interview with Moscovskiy Komsomolets, he declared that "there have been efforts to drive Russia out of the Arctic." To counter these trends, he pointed to the creation of a new FSB coast guard force and calls for new coastal stations to protect Russian territory as outlined in Russia's new policy.
(SBU) Russia's senior Arctic official, Ambassador-At-Large Anton Vasiliyev and Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov have made efforts to tamp down these more aggressive statements. Vasiliyev said in a April 21 interview with Moscovskiy Komsomolets that "Russia is far from having imperial ambitions such as wanting to seize the territory," and Lavrov in his April 29 Arctic Council ministerial address said that "There can be no validity to the view of the Arctic as a zone of potential conflicts…." Patrushev's comments also clashed with Medvedev's January 29 speech at FSB headquarters, where he told FSB officers and leadership that the service must "concentrate efforts on creating a modernized coast guard, which is imperative for effectively intercepting trafficked ocean and biological resources," not to address an armed conflict. Further, statements regarding the Arctic in the May 12 Russian National Security Strategy are limited to calling for investment in the "formation of a basic transportation, energy, information, and military infrastructure…" (Ref E).
(C) The statements of the MFA and President Medvedev indicate that moderates have focused on the Arctic as a zone of cooperation. Our continued support of the Arctic Council and bilateral engagement on the Arctic (included in the proposed U.S.-Russia Action Plan), can help bolster the moderates and give incentives to the GOR to continue cooperation. Increased scientific cooperation, particularly on climate change, could increase trust and build confidence. Under the framework of either multilateral or bilateral cooperation, we can also offer to jointly develop navigation aids and port facilities, continue developing and sharing sea current and meteorological data, promote social development for indigenous peoples, and cooperate on emergency response and oil spill remediation — all tasks that Medvedev charged the GOR with in his September 17, 2008 remarks, but will be difficult to fulfill without outside expertise.


By concentration you have achieved your vision and you can hold your vision in your mind.
In contemplation the vision is held and you become one with the vision. In revelation you become at one with the aspect of what you have created you become aware of everything about the vision, things you were not aware of before are revealed to you now.
In effect you have achieved a new level of consciousness. The whole world is made up of levels of consciousness. An ice block melts to become water that vaporises to become water vapour or steam that condenses to become water again. All are at different levels. And the levels are determined by the rate of vibration of the molecules, that go to make up the substance.
Every thought that you think has its own vibration which has a distinct pattern, recognised by those who watch over us, and the thought itself is out there on the ether waves of the Universe. You don't have to send a text, pick up the phone and call someone, its already out there. It has its own level easily identifiable by those who can see and perceive.
Each level of consciousness has its own world, and by meditating in one of those worlds you bring yourself into that world. This is why it is best for you to meditate on something that is alive. Of course if you were to meditate on the china figure for instance then you have a number of options available to you. According to your own mental state and affinity, you could begin to experience the world of the figurine itself – not very exciting. Or the world of the potter who made it, or the artist who painted it. Which is why it is best to concentrate on something that is alive, and to hold that image in your mind. Unless of course you are a budding potter.
So that is the third stage and, again, you don't do anything, if you have reached this point then it's like receiving a beautiful inner peace. You have the feeling that nothing matters and you could achieve anything. Difficult to put into words, and of course you could explain it in different terms, but it is something you become aware of, not with any of the five senses, not with your ears or eyes. You use them to set the scene in the preparation of your ceremony of meditation, but after that they are not needed. You become aware of an energy that is experienced totally within you.
When you reach this level your awareness changes and you are conscious only of what is going on within, you are in a light trance although still in control. But the difference is that in this state of revelation you are detached from your surroundings and nothing will disturb you unless there is a loud noise or you are physically touched.
I am convinced that it is in this state following a period of intense concentration that flashes of inspiration can come to us as we connect with universal consciousness and things are revealed to us. Take for instance the unexplained event when two scientists received the answer to the same problem at exactly the same moment in real time one in South America and the other in the UK. When their results were published they were each accused of plagiarism and it was some time before the scientific community could accept the possibility of them receiving the same answer at the same moment in real time.
It will take a while for the establishment to catch up with what we know. In my experience many things can be revealed in this state of awareness. For me it sounds like my own voice speaking to me. I get poems, teachings and solutions to problems.
It is strange because it does not necessarily happen at the time, but often afterwards when I come back to full waking consciousness, then it is like an instant replay. It may happen to you as things are revealed about the subject of your concentration which you were unaware of before.

The Good Mother Myth – An interview with Joy Ladin
Posted by Deborah Goldstein on March 10, 2014 at 5:00 AM
Deborah Goldstein talked with Avital Norman, Joy Ladin and Candace Walsh about the anthology, "The Good Mother Myth: Redefining Motherhood to Fit Reality", which seeks to deconstruct the myth of the "good mother." You can purchase the book through Amazon.com.
The following interview with contributor, Joy Ladin, is the second of a three-part series. You can find the first part here.
Joy and I talked about gender, parenting roles and the price she paid to live her truth as a trans woman. We referred to her essay, Confessions of a born-bad mother.
Deborah: It was such a powerful story and one that still leaves me heavy and hopeful at the same time. Even before you started talking about the trans experience, you really focused on the disparity between expectations of mothers and fathers which I loved. I was wondering if you feel that disparity is inherent in gender and do same-sex couples avoid those imbalances?
Joy: When I was home, I was a primary parent but I was a student and then I was teaching so I was away a couple nights a week and there was a built-in disparity about the amount of parenting I was doing and – of course – there's a biological disparity that's built in also. When I was there, I didn't feel like that was that big a deal because actually our kids liked nursing so much that by the time they were finally done, my ex was quite eager to have somebody else hold them so that worked out fine. But I think that whenever there's an unequal distribution of labor in any way, people tend to build on it and in ways I think have nothing to do with gender or sex. But when those disparities correspond to prefabricated cultural patterns about gender, whatever's going on in the individual relationship is magnified in a crazy way. Toward the end of living as a guy, I was connecting with women – I guess they had gotten married by then – but they had kids for a while and their marriage was the same as my marriage. She went to the city for a couple days a week. Her wife was home with the kids and they were having the same fights, the same strains, the same guilt and I thought, "That's interesting how little this really has to do with gender and how much it has to do with circumstance." But I think that gender comes in because gender shapes our awareness of ourselves and our expectations of ourselves and it also shapes the way people look at us. So, shame is the interface between the individual and the group and so is gender. So, these are group expectations that you perform in front of everybody and then individuals are either told from the outside or telling themselves on the inside, "Oh, I'm falling short," or "I'm about to fall short." There's the constant anxiety about that so the gender stuff just magnifies everything. But the basic thing is who's taking care of the kids most and if there's a big disparity, there tends to be pressure on the person who feels most responsible.
Deborah: I'm at home. My partner works full-time. Oftentimes, I feel like we're no further along than 1950s husband and wife. You focus on the fact that during your separation, you were transitioning and you were clearly at fault in the eyes of the law and people casting their uneducated judgment. It seems like conversations about the trans community are much more prevalent than they were 20 years ago. Do you see opinions in courts or law or society changing? How quickly are they changing?
Joy: Mass media and social media have caused an enormous jump in awareness of T people and in T people being aware of one another and talking to one another. When I was transitioning, I felt fairly isolated. There were some discussion boards but even in 6 years, I've seen a huge difference in that. At the same time, most people really don't know T people and most T people are still trying to figure themselves out. So when we talk about the T community, I always say, "Do you have an address for me because I would like to visit? Ha Ha" We don't have a community in that sense but when there are small knots of T in certain localities, people will get together. Often, it turns out there are problems of self-definition. Who's doing it right? Who's doing it wrong? Do you include people who are gender queer? Do you include only binary transsexuals? The reason for this is that the culture as a whole is only just beginning – very, very spottily and much more slowly than media coverage makes it seem – to reckon with what it means to recognize that there are small groups of people who vary widely in terms of gender identity and expression. That's a normal part of humanity, but it's never going to be a huge part of humanity.
Deborah: Social media and the media have helped in small ways increase people's awareness and, hopefully, normalize the conversation. Has that helped your relationship with your ex-wife or your children? Has that helped them to come to terms with it?
Joy: I'm going to go with no. For one thing, the media my kids are exposed to is the same gender binary stuff that's always been in kids' shows, including kids' shows that are quite progressive and politically aware compared to what I grew up with. They're still the same old jokes about boys wearing dresses or femininity being a shameful thing and so I don't think – in terms of popular culture – things have gotten that far. But for my kids, the problem isn't trans people in general. They're growing up in a pretty progressive area. The problem is that the trans person in their life is associated with the worst thing that ever happened to them. It's important that they and I recognize the particularity of that. I'm tempted sometimes to say, "Oh c'mon – just realize that being trans is normal." Then, I look at them and that doesn't matter. That's not really going to change the way your family broke up or anything. For my ex, it's made her feel more isolated to the extent that there's some push toward dealing with trans people in a positive way. It's like the Good Mother thing. You're a Good Mother or a Bad Mother. You can't just be a mother. So, if the trans husband who transitions is Good, that must mean the wife is Bad. So, it remains a pretty primitive binary kind of morality and she suffers from it.
Deborah: Not having other people's experiences to compare it to or to validate your own feelings must be isolating for both of you. When we first started VillageQ, we were looking to get voices from everyone. We wanted to be an inclusive place, somewhere where everybody could find their people. But it's really difficult when those people are, as you say, not even sure of who they are and may be afraid or nervous about reaching out or speaking out or don't feel that empowerment with community yet because they don't feel the empowerment of self. So, we've had a difficult time finding the voices of trans parents.
Joy: I teach at an Orthodox Jewish school and because of publicity that I got all about "Oh look, there's a trans person at an Orthodox environment," so I've been in contact with a lot of trans Orthodox Jews.
Deborah: Helpful for them to have you through that publicity. How does everybody find each other? I feel like all I have to do is search for lesbians, gay moms, queer parents and there are a host of resources and isolation is so disempowering. Where do you find each other?
Joy: It's a great question. I think the web is both a great place to find people and a terrible place to find people. So, when I was in early transition, I reached out to anybody who was on the web. There were people I would never take advice from if I actually knew them. All I knew was they were further along in transition and I just needed somebody to tell me what to do. For reasons I can't imagine, someone contacted me from a Southeast Asian country. She was asking me to find people. No resources. Underground. You need to actually know people. It's great to read things but to have what you're calling community and to really know who you're talking to and to be seen is so important for trans people – to see themselves reflected as people in other people's physical presence – and that's really tough.
Deborah: Have you found that in writing this anthology, people have been able to find you?
Joy: I don't know that I'm connected with any trans people through the anthology at this point but through other kinds of writing, absolutely. That's been a pretty great thing because there's that deep hunger – and I think this gets to what Avital was talking about also – I think that shame and part of the hard parts of our lives is this deep question of am I the only one? Is my experience intelligible to somebody else? Is my suffering, does my failure, does my triumph, does it mean anything to anyone else or am I the only one? So it's been pretty great for me personally when anybody responds to something I've written. I also feel found.
Deborah: That's wonderful. Have you felt in reading any of the other essays that you could connect or that you had a moment that you hadn't considered previously about a particular situation?
Joy: Avital has been great at arranging group readings. Those have been amazing experiences and I think that it's true that in everybody's story, there have been things that I've recognized but also parts of parenting that I really haven't. Heather, one of the contributors, has a child who has food allergies – wonderful, moving essay. My kids never had that but I do have two children with life-threatening conditions so know that fear. I have not had the physical parts of these experiences. I haven't had the day-to-day responsibility for children and so, for me, the definition of motherhood has been broadened for my benefit in this context and it's quite wonderful to be included with such incredible people.

We recommend the Machame route for most ers, because taking an extra day during the climb allows for a slower pace, and gives hikers more time to adjust to the altitude, which reduces altitude sickness. The Machame route approaches Kilimanjaro through forest and moorland from the south - west and joins the Shira route before traversing beneath the southern ice fields of Kibo.
The main and most popular way up. Besides the peaks and moorland, the park consists of montage forest with relics of old vegetation. Also, significant numbers of mammals, birds, and insects inhabit the area. We avoid the crowded Marangu route on Kilimanjaro, preferring to approach the mountain from the north by the lightly used Rongai route. Mammals include elephants, buffaloes, elands, duickers, foxes, leopards, baboons, black and white colobus monkeys, blue monkeys. The area is also frequented by a variety of colourful birds.
The Rongai route starts just south of Kenya- Tanzania border and has been almost unused for many years because the area was considered sensitive. Now open for climbing once again, experienced guides consider this ascent route to be both easier and more beautiful than the main Marangu trail.
Many customers use this route to descend instead of ascend. Either way it is after Mweka the next steepest route. It is also quite scenic and relatively infrequently used. Tanzania Excursions organizes eco-friendly climbs on this magnificent dome-shaped mountain and boasts of an excellent safe climbing record. Our professional, experienced and highly knowledgeable guides will lead you all the way to the summit while explaining the different ecosystems of the mountain that you go through each day.
This is much more attractive and exciting wilderness route. To climb the mountain, the ascent and descent takes between five and nine days. The mountain can be climbed by any normally fit person, with the assistance of a guide and porters.
This is a 4 day trekking. Allowing you to experience Africa and test your fitness for Kilimanjaro climbing! Truly a wonderful adventure.
Day 1: Transfer you from Moshi/resort to Momella Gate, here you will meet your ranger who will be watching out for your groups safety whilst you are walking through the bush. Relax and feel in safe hands as he is experienced and carrying equipment to protect you from any form of danger, as there is of course wildlife living here!! Walking through forest to Miriakamba Hut, take lunch box under the shade of the tree, and continue your trail to Miriakamba Hut where you will be serve with dinner and spend overnight resting here.
Day 2: Walk from Miriakamba to Saddle Hut below Little Meru: short day but a steep climb, continue walking to reach the halfway point of Elephant Ridge where we enjoy excellent views of the Summit ridge and across the crater floor. The path continues through enormous heather and other fantastic moorland to reach Saddle Hut. Lunch will be provided here. This afternoon is left free for you to relax and recuperate and enjoy the views. The more energetic walkers can make the short climb to the close by summit of Little Meru, (3,820m) a wonderful view can be witnessed from here just before sunset.
Day 3: Saddle Hut to Miriakamba Hut. Today we need to start early, around 2am as we climb steeply to Rhino Point, we continue to trek along a ridge of rock and ash to reach Cobra point at sunrise. The views are truly breathtaking, the crater rim and Kilimanjaro resting upon morning clouds. If the weather is clear enough, you can see west to the Rift Valley. The summit of Socialist Peak is an hour approximately further walking time, the path is good but steep! The route back to Rhino Point in the morning light is taken via the narrow ridge of the sloping outer wall of the crater and the sheer inner wall. This has to be one of the most exhilarating walks in all of Africa. We enjoy taking brunch at Saddle Hut before continuing our decent to Miriakamba Hut. This day is long, 10-12 hours approximate walking time.
Day 4: We should reach Momella Gate by late morning; we take the direct route down through open grassland and mixed forest, with good chances of seeing wildlife. This trail has excellent views back towards the crater and over the plains. Once you reach here, you will be transferred to your hotel in Arusha to relax and reflect on your exhausting but amazing journey.

What is the role of meiosis?
Why is eukaryote mitosis important?
Why the cell division is important?
What are 2 main functions of meiosis?
Why do both meiosis and mitosis persist today?
Most of the time when people refer to "cell division," they mean mitosis, the process of making new body cells. Meiosis is the type of cell division that creates egg and sperm cells. … During mitosis, a cell duplicates all of its contents, including its chromosomes, and splits to form two identical daughter cells.
Meiosis is a type of cell division that reduces the number of chromosomes in the parent cell by half and produces four gamete cells. This process is required to produce egg and sperm cells for sexual reproduction.
Cells divide and reproduce in two ways, mitosis and meiosis. Mitosis results in two identical daughter cells, whereas meiosis results in four sex cells. Below we highlight the keys differences and similarities between the two types of cell division.
Meiosis is important because it ensures that all organisms produced via sexual reproduction contain the correct number of chromosomes. Meiosis also produces genetic variation by way of the process of recombination.
Mitosis serves three main purposes in eukaryotic cells: reproduction in single cells, growth and development, and repair. Some eukaryotes are single-celled, much like an amoeba. These organisms use mitosis to reproduce their species. Each new organism is an exact copy of the previous one.

Activists demand public access to radiation counters
March 19, 2011 By Syed Akbar DC Hyderabad
The demand for access to public of radiation equipment gains significance as India plans to import as many as 21 nuclear reactors as part of its "energy parks" programme.
The common man in the country has no direct access to radiation counters or dosimeters for independent evaluation of radiation exposure if any, from the nuclear power plants.
People living in the vicinity of uranium and thorium mining projects are exposed to varying levels of radiation dosages, but they cannot know the exact quantum of exposure in the absence of access to proper equipment. Only government agencies particularly the Department of Atomic Energy is permitted to possess equipment that measure the exposure of radiation to the public.
"For some strange reason the Atomic Energy Regulatory Board has not taken note of it. There's no shortage of radiation counters and dosimeters. A tender publication in a newspaper will flood you with the equipment. But since there's restriction on their use by the general public, one has to believe what the DAE or the Barc says. If they say there's no radiation exposure, that's it," a senior nuclear physicist associated with AERB told this correspondent.
Radiation counters help one know the quantum of radiation a person is exposed to. Dosimeters also perform a similar function. Only top hospitals with nuclear medicine departments registered with the DAE get licence to use these equipment.
"The government has always been secretive on the civil nuclear power programme. Barc and DAE have constantly been denying that there's no radiation exposure to their employees, leave alone the general public. Their argument is that the radiation exposure is far below the natural background radiation that hits the earth. But the truth will come out if at least NGOs are permitted to take up independent evaluation of people exposed to radiation risk," said Dr K Babu Rao, adviser to National Alliance of People's Movements.

Town of Golden receives funding to update flood mapping
The Town of Golden has received $270,000 in federal and provincial funding under the National Disaster Mitigation Program to update flood mapping for the community.
The project will provide updated flood mapping for the Town of Golden for three watercourses that flow through or border the town. This includes the Kicking Horse River, Columbia River, and Hospital Creek. This work will increase flood awareness and available information, update the accuracy of flood mapping and risks in the area, provide a basis for flood mitigation priorities, and inform the Town in updating the floodplain bylaw. The project will also include LiDAR (topography mapping) and aerial photography that covers the entire Town of Golden.
"Flood mapping is a vital component for appropriate land use planning in floodplain areas," explained Phil Armstrong, planner and manager of development services with the Town of Golden. "Having updated flood maps for Golden will help us better plan for our community and help residents and local businesses understand their flood risk and be better prepared for the future. The maps will also provide important base data to developers which helps facilitate development."
Currently, Golden's flood mapping is from 1979, making it 40 years out-of-date and ranking it among the oldest in the province. Since 1979, many physical changes have happened in Golden, including additional narrowing and diking of the Kicking Horse River as well as the relocation of the Columbia Canadian Pacific Rail railway from being located through town (parallel to Highway 95) to along the banks of the Columbia River. The 40-year-old flood maps also do not consider the protection of Golden from the dikes or dike breach scenarios.
"The new flood plain maps will be created using detailed terrain information, up-to-date mapping techniques, include dike breach modelling and climate change considerations," said Armstrong. "This will give us a better, more fulsome, picture of the floodplain in Golden which is crucial to the foundation of sustainable developments in these areas."
The total cost of the project is $273,600 with $135,000 from the federal government, $135,000 from the provincial government, and contributions from the Columbia Shuswap Regional District, the Town of Golden, and BC Hydro.
The project is set to be completed in April 2020 and will include a public information component at that time.

On Friday, January 31st, 2018. Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ) threw his hat in the presidential ring.
"I believe that we can build a country where no one is forgotten, no one is left behind; where parents can put food on the table; where there are good-paying jobs with good benefits in every neighborhood; where our criminal justice system keeps us safe, instead of shuffling more children into cages and coffins; where we see the faces of our leaders on television and feel pride, not shame," Booker said.
This is 2008 all over again. The promise of hope and change, free medical for all, if you like your doctor, you can keep him, the promise of a high GDP and everyone gets a job.
We've heard all these promises before, they ring an all to familiar bell. The socialism bell.
When Booker, AKA Spartacus made that statement above, do you think he remembered the $100 million gift donated by Mark Zuckerberg to the Newark school district on his behalf?
If the squandering of that money is any indication as to how Booker manages large sums of money, we can rest assured this is how he'll manage big government spending.
On many occasions in the Senate, Booker has made a complete fool of himself, and all for public attention no less. Beclowing himself while mansplaining to female DHS Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen in January of 2018. A one-sided exchange where he blasted Neilsen when he didn't get the response he was looking for when he asked about a comment Trump made calling some countries "shithole countries".
Not too long after, we were graced with his Spartacus moment. The Senator made his Spartacus comments during the confirmation hearing of Judge Brett Kavanaugh. "this is the closest I'll get to an 'I am Spartacus' moment." The Senator claims he was standing up for justice by releasing classified emails written by Brett Kavanaugh about the use of "racial profiling" at airports in the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks. Funny thing is, the emails were declassified before his drama queen antics.
The New Jersey senator craves attention, whether it's tweeting nonsense to his 4 million Twitter followers, private messaging strippers on Twitter or making up stories about instances that never happened from the past, he loves it. Booker is well known in Jersey for his fables and tales, one notable story he loves to tell is about his imaginary friend T-bone, a drug dealer and gang banger who threaten Booker's life one moment and cried on his shoulder the next.
After Booker announced in a video his plans to run for president, the media was in a flurry to see who could top the most favorable article promoting the senator. Being a black man, the media has no other choice but to follow the social justice norms and tow the party line, meanwhile tossing out all critical an evidence-based reporting.
Trump ran his presidential campaign promising jobs under a better economy and law and order. Trump hasn't kept all of his promises, but the promises he did keep has made conservatives proud. He delivered!
Don't expect any down the middle reporting from the mainstream media when it comes to any Democrat who announces their bid for the presidency, many in the media have shown themselves, the masks are off and true journalism is dead.

Казимеж Францишек Зимны (; ) — польский легкоатлет,  (1962). Призёр олимпийских Игр, чемпионатов и кубка Европы. Семикратный чемпион (1956—1967) на дистанциях 1500, 5000 м и кроссе на 6 и 8 км и четырёхкратный рекордсмен Польши.

Биография

Спортсмен
Благодаря своей тренировочной дисциплине и невероятному упорству Зимны довольно быстро вошёл в группу лучших польских бегунов на длинные дистанции —  (, Здзислав Кшишковяк, ,  и ).

2 августа 1958 года сборная США, возвращаясь после проигранного матча в Москве, встретилась на Стадионе Десятилетия в Варшаве с командой Польши.  не был запланирован в мировом легкоатлетическом календаре. Команда США победила и мужским, и женским составами сборной. Зимны выиграл свою дистанцию 5000 метров.

Через неделю в Познани Зимны в составе команды Польши установил национальный рекорд в эстафете 4×1500 метров. Это был второй результат после , которая установила рекорд мира — 15.11,4. Ещё через две недели он был вторым на чемпионате Европы в Стокгольме за Здзиславом Кшишковяком.

Ещё долгое время он был тенью Кшишковяка и всегда ему проигрывал. Когда результаты Кшишковяка стали снижаться, Зимны стал первым номером в Польше и одним из лучших бегунов мира.

Несколько раз участвовал в
кроссе «Юманите», и весной 1963 года отличный финишёр Зимны обошёл там отличного финишёра Болотникова. Реванш состоялся через несколько недель 5 мая на рыхлой дорожке кросса «Правды». 8000 метров с несколькими низкими барьерами Болотников пробежал за 23.14,4; Зимны — 23.14,8. Как говорил Болотников, это был самый тяжёлый забег в его жизни. Этот «чудовищный», как его назвали журналисты, бег подкосил дальнейшую спортивную карьеру обоим атлетам.

Потом Зимны пел. Но пел он в последний раз.

И его сломал этот бег. Сгоряча плясал Зимны. Ещё не понял, что все мечты и планы, которые у него были, остались на финише Московского ипподрома.

Но мне от этого было не легче. На следующий день я не смог даже закончить зарядку. Чувствовал, что задыхаюсь.

После спорта
Работал учителем физкультуры, тренером, был спортивным и профсоюзным активистом «Солидарности».

Тренер
С 1965 года занимался также тренерской работой. Был тренером  Гданьск. В 1974—1975 и с 1979 — тренером . Ученики:

Q: Do Weyl groups generate the exceptional Lie groups as sequences of reflexions in the Weyl chambers? Platonic groups of symmetry are Weyl groups for the exceptional Lie algebra E6->E8, as root systems. These can be viewed as mirrors in a kaleidoscope (Goodman).
I would like to know if one can generate E6-E8 Lie groups as Coxeter groups in this way (representing their elements as a product of reflexions in the mirrors of such a 3D Weyl group, associated to Platonic groups of symmetry, as a root system).
I recall that there is an article studying the paths of multiple reflections in such Weyl systems as kaleidoscopes; does anybody know it?

Certainly one of one of the most prevalent electrical wiring inquiries is regarding how to wire a swap. Although applying switches at your house is quite straightforward, wiring one particular may well not be that easy for everyone. An ON-OFF switch is definitely quite simple to wire. You will discover different kinds of switches, but for this example, let's say you happen to be installing a single-pole toggle switch, an exceedingly frequent change (and also the simplest).
There are three hues of wires inside a normal single-pole toggle switch: black, white, and green. Splice the black wire in two and connect them about the terminal screws - one particular on leading as well as other to the base screw on the switch. The white wire serves being a resource of uninterrupted power and it is commonly connected to some light colored terminal screw (e.g., silver). Link the eco-friendly wire for the ground screw of your respective switch.
These methods would typically be enough to create a typical switch get the job done without a trouble. However, for those who are usually not confident which you can accomplish the undertaking effectively and securely you greater let the pros do it rather. After all, there's a rationale why this job is without doubt one of the most commonly encountered electrical wiring thoughts asked by a lot of people.
For some purpose, tips on how to wire a ceiling fan can also be one of quite possibly the most prevalent electrical wiring concerns. To simplify this task, you should use only one switch for a single ceiling fan. To wire the supporter, it can be simply a matter of connecting the black wire from the ceiling fan to the black wire on the switch. If there is a lightweight, the blue wire needs to be connected to your black wire on the switch too.
You can find reasons why they're the most usually questioned electrical wiring concerns. Just one, a lot of imagine it is really uncomplicated to try and do, and two, these are generally the popular electrical responsibilities in your own home. But then you definitely shouldn't set your protection in danger as part of your target to save money. The stakes could even be considerably increased in the event you make an effort to cut costs and do an electrical wiring task devoid of sufficient information or encounter.


Enterprise Beach at Oistins, Christ Church was abuzz with activity today as locals and visitors alike took advantage of the beautiful Good Friday weather.
When a Barbados TODAY team visited the location adults were seen lazing on the sand while children built sandcastles and played in the water.
It was a scene unlike times gone-by when residents feared going to the beach on Good Friday.
Michael Damaze is one who firmly believes that Good Friday should simply be about going to church or staying home. However he made the trek to the Oistins beach after some convincing from his spouse.
"I'm one of those that don't go to the beach on Good Friday because I don't think it is the right thing to do, so I don't believe in coming to the beach," Damaze said.
"You need to look at it as a normal Friday so you can take your mind off the suspicions," interjected his wife.
However, Guyanese national Elselyn Perry was shocked that Barbadians were out and about on the day.
"Normally, we don't leave home on Good Friday. When we do, it is to go to church and go back home," Perry said.
Apart from church and Easter egg hunts, the season is ideal for kite flying. At the historic Garrison Savannah a few individuals were flying kites with family and friends.
It is an annual activity for Bonnie Seale-Jordan and her family.
"It's a great time for them to do something that they absolutely enjoy," Seale-Jordan said.
I don't believe in that superstitious stuff. We are in the information Era. Why would anyone borrowed pagan practice be interpreted to imply that you should stay home, go church or eat only fish? This is perpetuating the same slavery we freed ourselves from……just that now it's mental. Eat meat and go any where you please. I had a sea bath today also.
@WILLZ RD – Well said. Utter brainwashing with that sponge.
Whats this bs about not going in the sea on good friday..?

Thanks William! We're very happy you find the article useful, and will visit the Avenue of Comic Stars soon.
Do let us know how your visit with your friends turn out?
Hi Timotheaus! It was probably my fault, I didn't understand how you wanted it to read. But here you go………..
WOW!!!! Is this site great! I have always loved comics when I was younger, but never realized the scope of all the wonderful characters. It is great, and I will be coming back often to see how its going. Thanks for all your input on all the characters.
Thank so much Stephanie! We are very happy to have you here!
Glad you enjoyed seeing the pictures of the comic characters, and reading about them. It's our pleasure to share the info on them.
We hope you visit Hong Kong one day, and see the sights we recommended.
My friend took a trip to Hong Kong within the last year and i wouldn't be surprised if he visited the avenue of comic stars. I'm going to ask him about that. He is big comic buff. He went to the Comic con festival here in my neck of the woods "Spokane Washington" last summer. He owns a replica of 60's version of the batmobile and a bat boat from the same era and is an avid marvels comics collector.
Hi Brad, the Avenue of Comic Stars definitely will appeal to all comic fans. But it is one of the lesser known places in Hong Kong. At Asia Travel Gems, this is one of our uniqueness – we feature popular attractions and we also find places that few know about. Some places, even locals do not know of too!
Your friend sounds like a very serious comic fan. Wow! replicas of batmobile and bat boat!!! I hope he did get the chance to visit this place. Do let us know after you have asked him? Better yet, invite him to visit this page.
Wow Hong Kong seems so nice! I would love to visit the comics and the characters over there! I would have to come back to this site just to remember where they are! There are definitely a lot to see if I'm just there to tour and cruise around.
Thanks for visiting our website, Edrian. Yes, pls do come back often to visit. We feature the Best Places to Visit in Asia. Lots of interesting places to see, lots of great food to enjoy.
The Avenue of Comic Stars is just one of the many fun and interesting places to enjoy in Hong Kong. Do let us know when you visit Hong Kong.

Any idea how to get this working correctly? Thanks alot

A: You've done good work to get so far, you're almost there.
The -like operator is PowerShell's wild-card comparison operator, and note what you're missing on lines 2 & 8?  Some wildcards!  The -Like operator won't work without `em.
A PowerShell wildcard is the asterisk character *, let's add one and see what happens.
I'm going to intentionally throw an error by specifying a drive letter which doesn't exist on my pc (The forgotten A: drive, I still love you ).
$vssstatus = vssadmin list shadowstorage /for="A":\ | select-object -skip 3 | Out-String
if ($vssstatus -like "*Error: Invalid option value.*")    {
    Write-Warning "Partition name incorrect or missing"
    #Exit1010 <--I don't want to exit for this example
}

WARNING: Partition name incorrect or missing

All I changed was adding * characters around the search string on line 2 of my example above.
With similar tweaking of your own code, you're basically done already, so you should feel good about this.

So after yesterday's crash, we're looking at a return to some normality, although it could be argued nothing is ever sane in the digital currencies market.
There's one very special candle there. Namely, the 16:00 candle (marked with an arrow). The reason it's special is due to two simple facts. One, it's a bullish candle. Nothing so special about that of course. But the combination of the second fact, gives us a very powerful piece of information. That second fact being, the candle, whilst being bullish, had closed below the lower Bollinger line. And whenever these two attributes combine into one candle, it's a clear sign the market is gearing up for a potential reversal. And that's exactly what happened here.
Of course, that's not to say every time such a candle occurs it means a reversal will occur, but at the very least it should make us sit up and pay attention.
So looking further, we saw how other factors were in our favour as well. That candle closed above the 38.2% Fib level, the Stochastics were heading up, without being overbought. We then saw price increase to around 18 (significantly a whole number), which also happens to be the 50% Fib level. Unsurprisingly, price bounced at that level, as some investors cashed out.
As of right now, we're seeing price hovering around 18.22, after just managing to break through the red trendline I've drawn. Over the next eight hours or so, I'd expect the trendline and the 50% Fib level to provide some level of support.
However, as we can see, the 61.8% Fib level is very close to another round number, (19), hence we'll probably see that acting as a serious piece of resistance, with the Accelerator Oscillator most likely turning red within a few candles as well.

The Dying Day
By Vaseem Khan
It's just a sheer pleasure to read. The story, the history, the research, colours, scents, mystery and one of the most accurate descriptions of trying trying to climb a fence in a dress. Fantastic!
The second brilliant novel in the highly acclaimed Malabar House series featuring Persis Wadia, India's first female police detective. Book one, Midnight at Malabar House, won the CWA Sapere Books Historical Dagger 2021.
A priceless manuscript. A missing scholar. A trail of riddles.
Bombay, 1950
For over a century, one of the world's great treasures, a six-hundred-year-old copy of Dante's The Divine Comedy, has been safely housed at Bombay's Asiatic Society. But when it vanishes, together with the man charged with its care, British scholar and war hero, John Healy, the case lands on Inspector Persis Wadia's desk.
Uncovering a series of complex riddles written in verse, Persis – together with English forensic scientist Archie Blackfinch – is soon on the trail. But then they discover the first body.
As the death toll mounts it becomes evident that someone else is also pursuing this priceless artefact and will stop at nothing to possess it . . .
Harking back to an era of darkness, this second thriller in the Malabar House series pits Persis, once again, against her peers, a changing India, and an evil of limitless intent.
Gripping, immersive, and full of Vaseem Khan's trademark wit, this is historical fiction at its finest.

Malcom Daly, founder Paradox Sports and Human Dimensions of Natural Resources (HDNR) alumni was the graduation commencement speakerfor the Warner College of Natural Resources this past December. Daly is an avid outdoor enthusiast which prompted him to start his first business, Trango. His experience here at Colorado State University (CSU), the influence of his father and living in Fort Collins, CO, shaped and transformed his future.
With a new paradigm for life, Daly recognized he could no longer run Trango the same way he had done before and eventually left to commit fully to Paradox Sports. "If you lose your passion for your job in whatever agency or company you're working for, try to have a transformative experience, you don't have to cut off a leg or anything but you know, its time to hit the reset button." With Paradox Sports he is able to connect people with their love of the outdoors through adaptive climbing, cycling, running, fishing, etc. His contributions to the outdoor recreation industry are extensive and significant and reflect the experiences and passions he had at CSU.


SAN DIEGO – It is well known that exposure to the sun is the key risk factor for developing skin cancer. And while most parents are aware that applying sunscreen to their children is important, many go wrong by not taking the time to choose the most effective sunscreen, or they don't understand the limitations of sunscreen.
"Young, developing skin may be particularly vulnerable to UV rays," said Lawrence Eichenfield, MD, chief of pediatric and adolescent dermatology at Rady Children's Hospital-San Diego. "If your child is getting intense sun exposure playing outdoors, she's in danger of developing melanoma — the most serious type of skin cancer — even if she has what appears to be a healthy tan."
•Sun Protection Factor (SPF) – Pick an SPF of 15 or higher. The higher the SPF, the greater the protection from sunburn caused mostly by UVB rays, not UVA. Also, the higher SPF does not increase the length of time for sun exposure.
• UVA protection – Most sunscreens protect against UVB, but not UVA. UVA has a longer wavelength, less energy, but is more mutagenic (i.e. cancer-causing) than UVB. Products that contain Oxobenzone or Avobenzone (Parsol) can block UVA, but may break down under the sun and thus only offers no more than 4 hours of UVA protection. Mexoryl is a newer addition to sunscreen ingredients that does not break down in the sun. Another new ingredient, Helioplex, helps stabilize Parsol and allows up to 6 hours of UVA protection. Look for these ingredients in your sunscreen or the AAD SEAL OF RECOGNITION on sunscreen products to ensure protection against UVA.
• Hypoallergenic sunscreen – Most allergic reactions against sunscreen are caused by para-aminobenzoid acid (PABA). If your child has a reaction against sunscreen, try products that do not contain PABA, dyes or perfumes. Also, sunscreens containing titanium dioxide or zinc dioxide provide physical block that reflects both UVA and UVB and has no chemical ingredients suitable for those with prior reactions to sunscreen.
• Non-comedogenic sunscreen – For oily skin, try products that are labeled with "won't clog pores" or "non-comedogenic" to reduce acne caused by sunscreen.
• Lip sunscreen – It is also important to protect your lips from the sun! Choose a lip balm with SPF 15 or higher.
• New advances in sunscreen technology – Scientists are coming up with sunscreen containing vitamins C and E, which help boost the skin's defenses against UV damage. There is also a sunscreen "pill," called Heliocare, that can offer up to 3 hours of protection. These are currently meant to supplement sunscreens and not to replace them.
Of course, the best way to avoid sunburn and skin damage is to avoid the sun entirely, especially between 10am and 4pm, the period of the day when sunrays are strongest.
"As a dermatologist I see the effects that sun damage causes to skin; damage can occur at any age and babies can be even more susceptible to the sun," said Dr. Eichenfield. "I recommend parents and babies practice sun protection every day to avoid a lifetime of cumulative sun exposure. It is also important to use a variety of sun protection measures to protect themselves and their children when out in the sun including proper application of a physical sunblock, protective clothing, and seeking shade during peak sun hours."

Dortmund 2018, Round 2
Monday, July 16, 2018 at 12:34AM
Greetings again, Caissaic comrades! We're back again with Round 2 coverage of Dortmund, with this round featuring a bit more blood than yesterday.
The game Meier-Giri, however, certainly did not provide any hemoglobin for viewing pleasure. Meier is known for having a very technical style that often verges towards peaceful, and Giri is almost notorious for his ability to force draws and avoid danger. (As an aside, as to the latter, this strikes me as particularly unfair - Giri has a tremendous sense of humour about these aspersions, so he doesn't actively attempt to disperse these barbs, but his rating and results deserve far more than chuckles. He's one of the best players in the world, and 99.9% of players can't even imagine playing up to his level.) Meier (via his usual 1. Nf3 move order) deployed the Catalan, which in my eyes is in need of a major rejuvenation - Black has discovered quite a few equalizing methods against this once feared squeezing weapon, and it's been quite awhile since I've seen Black in any form of trouble in a top level game. The game quickly zoomed towards opposite coloured bishops and an efficient liquidation towards peace.
Nisipeanu-Duda (the Battle of the Hyphenation) finished quickly as well, but with a decisive result. Nisipeanu chose a 3. Bb5+ Sicilian, and the game found its way to one of the biggest traditional main lines of the Rossolimo. Duda was the first to play an offbeat move, with 10...Ng8 being a very strange choice (10...Ne4 is by far the usual choice, with hundreds of master games). I'm not sure if this discombobulated Nisipeanu, but the game took a strategically interesting path - Duda very confidently castled queenside, and the game was set for a fascinating battle with central pressure, dueling outposts, and opposite side pawn storms. Suddenly, however, Nisipeanu dropped a pawn! I'm not sure if this was a sacrifice, or a failure to recognize that 19. b4 g4 20. b5 is an in between move that maintains the balance. Whatever it was, Duda snatched off the pawn and very confidently converted his material edge with zero counterplay.
The most incredible game of the day has to be Wojtaszek-Kramnik. Kramnik took a break from his usual QGD/Semi-Tarrasch adventures to give the Nimzo a try, and Wojtaszek tried a slightly offbeat Bg5/e3 mixture that has recently seen a couple of outings in top flight chess - it is most notorious for featuring in last year's game Bai Jinshi-Ding Liren, which in my eyes was the most beautiful game of 2017 (which I have listed in the game link in the notes, if you haven't partaken of the aesthetic experience). This game took a much more tranquil course, with Kramnik turning the tables on his usual Semi-Tarrasch adventures and taking on an isolated but passed d pawn for himself. The game was following a logical course, with Black perhaps having a slightly better side of a draw...and Kramnik suddenly sacrificed his queen! Kramnik had a high profile explosion of overly optimistic decisions in the recent Candidates tournament (which produced some slightly harsh but hilarious memes), and this decision certainly continues the trend. Neither player handled the resulting imbalance in the most efficient way, and the evaluation pingponged between equal and better for White. Wojtaszek seems to have missed a clear chance for an edge with 41. Qf6 (the move after the time control - a somewhat cursed move number!), and immediately afterwards the players found their way to a repetition.
Finally, the game Kovalev-Nepomniachtchi was another Rossolimo, with White transitioning from a Lopez style structure to a bit of a Meran/c3 Sicilian structure. White never really gained anything from the opening, with his pawns on a5 and e5 allowing outpost squares more than really cramping Black. 26. Nxe6 essentially turned out to be a fancy transmutation of material, with White gaining a knight, rook, and pawn for a queen. I'm surprised Nepo allowed so much liquidation - he very quickly traded into an ending where White has bishop, rook, and two pawns for the queen. There were a couple of moments where Nepo appears to have been in real danger, and Kovalev was always playing "for two results only". Kovalev missed some opportunities to test Nepo more thoroughly, but with a completely open board and the queen's propensity for sudden checking mechanisms (see yesterday's Nepo-Giri game!) making technical progress would have been quite difficult. Peace was agreed to on move 90.

[Note from DM: You're in for a treat! I'm going to be busy with this and that for a couple of weeks, so you, dear readers, are in for an upgrade. Enjoy!]
Greetings, fellow chess enthusiasts! My name is John Cole, and for the next couple of weeks I'll be helping out Dennis by temporarily taking the reins of his esteemed blog. As a brief introduction: Dennis and I are both Indiana residents and both slightly antiquated, quasi-retired FIDE Masters. We share an admiration for Kramnik and share a dislike of existentialism, and we've both grown slightly stodgier in our playing style after the fiery tactical skirmishes of our youth.
Today marked the kickoff of the beloved Dortmund tournament, a chess symposium that has regularly come together since 1973. The most prominent regular competitor, of course, is Vladimir Kramnik, who is justly celebrated for having won the event a record 10(!) times. His next closest rivals to success this year are Anish Giri, Ian Nepomniachtchi, Jan Krzysztof-Duda, and Radoslav Wojtaszek. In my eyes, Krzysztof-Duda is a very notable participant to watch – he has recently overtaken Wojtaszek as not only the Polish champion but the #1 rated Polish player. He's a very young and brilliant player, but possesses a very mature style – gone are the "old days" of the cliché of the young firebrand tactician who can be worn down by a wily positional veteran. Krzysztof-Duda has a completely universal style, and could absolutely prevent Kramnik from adding to his abundance of accolades. Grizzled tournament veterans Liviu-Dieter Nisipeanu, Vladislav Kovalev, and Georg Meier round out a small but potent field.
Today's round featured very cautious and cagey play in all four games. The least interesting of the quad was Kramnik-Nisipeanu – Kramnik went into a QGD Exchange, and Nisipeanu made a interesting psychological decision by using a top level drawing line that Kramnik himself has used somewhat frequently. Kramnik was the victim of a very high profile drubbing in this line on the Black side at the hands of Carlsen in the 2016 edition of Norway Chess, but in today's game Black was nowhere close to defeat. Nisipeanu varied from Kramnik's play against Carlsen with 12...f5 instead of the previous 12...Nb6. The pawn structure for both sides eventually got mangled into various tangles with no remaining breaks and nothing to do but sign the peace treaties.
Nepomniachtchi-Giri featured the Petroff, a solid Black choice that will only continue to gain in popularity with Caruana's steady advocacy. White's response seemed somewhat milquetoast after 9. Nc3 – White took on doubled c pawns, was deprived of his light squared bishop, and didn't achieve c4 to liquidate his pawn weaknesses. However, Giri allowed genuinely dangerous attacking chances with 18...b4?! (better is 18...Rcd8 with a typically solid Petroff position) – Nepo could have instantly retorted with 19. Bxh6! gxh6 20. Qxh6 with a dangerous attack, as 20...Qd6 is met with the nasty 21. Re6! with an inferno on the kingside. However, Nepo let this pass, and the game drifted into a fairly equal queen endgame. However, a moment of drama was reserved for Giri's choice of 46...Qxa4?? (initiative almost always matters more in queen endings than material - 46...Qc2+ keeps the draw secure), when 47. d6 Qc2+ put White on the verge of pushing through. However, 48. Kf3? returned the game to a draw - 48. Ke3! allows White's king to eventually escape the checks.
Wojtaszek-Meier featured an English Defense, a very rare guest at the top of world chess. Wojtaszek chose 4. e4, which looks quite natural but is currently theoretically quite sound for Black (4. a3 is considered to be more challenging, with d5 to follow). Meier's choice of 6...e5 looked like it might inject the game with fervor, but the game quickly went into a Maroczy structure with some minor pieces traded off (which typically is favourable for the defending side). Even with Wojtaszek's choice of queenside castling, Black's restraint structure of d6 and f6 prevented any pawn breaks and kept the game well within equality.
Finally, Duda-Kovalev featured a strange Rubinstein from White - Duda's early choice of Nf3 eliminates a lot of favourable delayed Saemisch plans that White might otherwise utilize. Black gained a fairly comfortable position with hopes of a light squared bind, but 17...Nd6 seemed unnecessarily flamboyant. White had at least a symbolic advantage against the doubled pawns, but the structural weaknesses on the light squares made progress very problematic. White eventually left Black with five(!) pawn islands, but couldn't find a way to break through. More detailed game analysis with the included link, and we'll see you for Round 2!

Dortmund Underway
Saturday, July 14, 2018 at 11:55AM
Vladimir Kramnik's favorite event starts today: the Sparkassen Chess-Meeting in Dortmund, Germany. He has won the tournament 10 times, but not since 2011. Can he win it this year?
Here are the pairings for round 1, which is underway:
Wojtaszek (2733) - Meier (2628)
Duda (2737) - Kovalev (2655)
Kramnik (2792) - Nisipeanu (2672)
Nepomniachtchi (2757) - Giri (2782)
Radoslaw Wojtaszek is the defending champion. While Kramnik is the rating favorite (by a small margin), I expect Ian Nepomniachtchi to win the event. Normally I'd say Giri, but at the moment he might be in a spot of trouble against against Nepo; further, his results against Kramnik are typically pretty poor, and he's going to have Black against him in round 6. Also, Nepo has White against Kramnik in round 5, so the tournament sets up very well for him. But we'll see, and it's a bit ungenerous to go against the defending champion - maybe Wojtaszek will make it back-to-back titles.

Dan-Czech Special Transport has handled the shipment of two column sections, weighing 102 tonnes and 46 tonnes, from Hradec Králové to the port of Melnik.
The pieces, which will form one column, were transported using Dan Czech's Goldhofer hydraulic modular axle lines.
The total dimensions of the column sections measured 39.5 m x 6.3 m x 7.6 m and 30 m x 5.7 m x 7 m.
Along the 130 km route to the port, Dan-Czech cooperated with third party companies for the lifting of power lines, removal of street furniture and ground adjustments.
From the port of Melnik the cargo will be transported by barge to the port of Hamburg where it will be transhipped for onward transportation to the Basrah refinery in Iraq.
