2021 Mercedes AMG-GT Black Series debuts with a 720bhp V8
By Divyank Kushagra Bansal | on July 16, 2020
Folks from Affalterbach have pulled out all the stops to make the new Black Series the pinnacle of the AMG GT family!
720bhp, 800Nm of torque, rear-wheel-drive, 0 to 100km/h in 3.2 seconds, a top speed of 325km/h, and aerodynamics adapted directly from the current AMG GT3 racing car – say hello to the new 2021 Mercedes-AMG GT Black Series, the most powerful Mercedes-AMG with a V8 series engine.
The erstwhile 4.0-litre bi-turbo V8 has been given extensive upgrades, ranging from a new 'flat-plane' crankshaft with a 180-degree angle offset to new camshafts and exhaust manifolds. The latter two have been tuned according to the new firing order (1-8-2-7 4-5-3-6) to further optimise the gas cycle, and the twin-scroll turbochargers have been fitted with larger compressor wheels for higher boost levels. The AMG Speedshift DCT 7G transmission has also been reinforced to handle the extra torque and a new twin-pipe exhaust system has been employed, made of thin-walled steel.
The result of all this is more evenly distributed combustion in all chambers, more agile throttle response, and a bump in power and torque – up from 577bhp and 700Nm (AMG GT R) to 720bhp and 800Nm. While 0 – 100km/h is achieved in a matter of 3.2 seconds, the AMG GT Black Series can dismiss the 0 – 200km/h mark in under 9 seconds.
Being a Black Series model, the car uses carbon-fibre or carbon-fibre-reinforced body panels extensively and, of course, the aerodynamics have been adapted from the marque's GT racing programme, which means a whole lot of adjustable (mechanically / auto) aero components, like the massive twin-blade rear wing and front splitter.

Some states changing family law regarding shared custody
On behalf of McCoy Fatula, APC | Mar 1, 2017 | Family Law
Many children in California are brought up in homes with only one parent due to divorce. In fact, it's not uncommon for former spouses to face various family law issues, including child custody and child support concerns. No two situations are exactly the same, but studies show children typically fare best when they have ample amounts of time with both parents after divorce.
Because of this, many people are advocating changes in the laws of their states to encourage courts to rule in favor of shared child custody arrangements more often. More than 30 states have already implemented such guidelines. Those who support more shared custody say there is evidence that troubled teens mostly come from single parent homes. In fact, data suggests that as much as 90 percent of teenage runaways and nearly as many high school dropouts come from homes with only one parent.
Consequently, studies also show that healthy, well-adjusted teens who show little signs of adverse physical and/or emotional problems in life are often the same ones who have been raised with both parents. Some states, however, still have what many consider antiquated guidelines that lean heavily toward sole custody rulings. These types of decisions are frowned upon by those who see them as pitting one parent against the other in win/lose situations.
Family law problems may be difficult to resolve if parents are not in agreement about what is best for their children after divorce. This is why many people in California have relied on experienced representation rather than going it alone in court. An attorney can help prioritize issues and pursue a fair and agreeable outcome.

The World in 10 Blocks
Interactive Multimedia with map, narrartive storytelling, images, video clips
From the website: With half its population born outside of Canada, Toronto is probably the world's most diverse city. The World in Ten Blocks is set in Bloorcourt, a stretch of Bloor Street in downtown Toronto where immigrant-owned small businesses are the heart and soul of the neighbourhood. At the core of this documentary are a dozen immigrant small business owners, whose stories reveal both the challenges and rewards of immigration and entrepreneurship.
The World in Ten Blocks situates these stories in a feature-length interactive web experience, presented in partnership with The Globe and Mail. It's an online walking tour of Bloorcourt where you can meet the participants and dive into the history of immigration in the neighbourhood going back a century. There is also a 34-minute film that brings the voices of the participants together in a collective telling of the immigration experience. While there is sadness and loss in these stories, the project is ultimately a celebration of these remarkable individuals and the unique city they call home.
NNIRR questions in addition to our media discussion guide:
What do you think is the primary goal or motivation in creating this project?
Does this project help further understanding about the push factors for migration?
Are there any concerns in the messaging or stories that are portrayed?
How do you think this model of story-telling can be useful for community education? How might it be used by your work/organization?


With rare data from the Siberian Arctic, scientists find a way to pinpoint the source of pollution, a known accelerator of global warming.
Black carbon, the soot that darkens the sea ice, causing it to absorb heat from the sun instead of reflecting it, speeds up the rate at which the ice disappears. It's yet another severe aspect of climate change—except that its lifespan is just days or weeks, as opposed to carbon dioxide's, which can last a century or more. That means that finding its source and mitigating its effects can have an almost immediate impact, and might hold a key for helping slow the rapid melting of the Arctic.
A new study, released earlier this week in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, provides "a very powerful tool" in combating black carbon, said Scripps Institution of Oceanography atmospheric scientist Veerabhadran Ramanathan, who was not a part of the study.
"It's a new tool for understanding who is emitting what and when," he said. Black carbon can travel thousands of miles from where it is initially emitted, so finding the source of the pollution can make it more feasible for policymakers to attempt to stop it.
When they began the study, the authors had expected the biggest sources of black carbon would be gas flaring and power plants. "The results related to gas flaring were probably the biggest surprise," said author Patrik Winiger, an applied environmental scientist at Stockholm University. Instead, they saw that vehicles and residential sources were the main offenders, often coming all of the way from China, elsewhere in Russia and Europe.
"Given that we have precise isotopic fingerprints, we can tell you exactly how much carbon is coming from where," Winiger said.
One of the most novel elements of the study is that the authors had data out of that region at all. Siberia makes up nearly half of the Arctic region, and yet it is rare to have observations and data from there.
Climate experts from the United Nations Environment Program and the World Meteorological Organization have determined that black carbon, a short-lived climate pollutant, is 100 to 2,000 times more potent in warming the atmosphere than carbon dioxide. As the new study's authors show, the soot can travel long distances, landing in the Arctic and exacerbating an already dire climate situation there.
The Arctic is warming at twice the rate of the rest of the world and the past year in particular has been marked by record-breaking high temperatures and low levels of sea ice. As the sea ice melts, it exposes the dark ocean below. Instead of radiating some of the sun's rays back into the atmosphere, the way the white surface of sea ice can, the ocean absorbs the sun's heat, warming the planet more.
Black carbon adds a secondary element to that process. When the soot covers the ice, it darkens the surface, absorbing more heat from the sun. It also speeds up the melting of snow.
Though scientists agree any global mitigation efforts have to center on immediately and drastically lowering carbon dioxide emissions, those changes have been politically difficult, opposed by powerful forces and may not happen in time to save the Arctic. But at least theoretically, slowing black carbon could offer some hope. Knowing the source can help policymakers target their efforts more quickly and efficiently, if there's political will for it.
The next step, the authors say, will be analyzing other parts of the world. Winiger is currently working on a similar project with samples from Alert, Canada, the northernmost station in the world.

Midland Resource Recovery (MRR) provided a turnkey odorization system upgrade for a Pennsylvania client who demanded that there be no odorant injection interruption while installing the new equipment on the old system's footprint.
A Pennsylvania gas company required an updated turnkey odorization system to replace outdated equipment. The new system had to be turnkey for safety reasons, as odorization could not be interrupted while decommissioning the old equipment from service. Additionally, there were space limitations, and the new system had to be installed on the old facility's footprint.
The solution proposed by MRR was to install a temporary odorization system providing continuous odorization during the upgrade work.
Rental, installation, and start-up of a temporary portable odorant tank and transitory odorizer for each odorant injection point.
Draining the odorant from the old tank using an MRR bobtail truck, and providing temporary storage of the odorant at the MRR facility in Philippi, WV.
Decommissioning the old tank and odorizer panel, and transporting the equipment to the MRR treatment facility in Philippi, WV.
System installation, filling the new tank with odorant and new odorizer startup.
Decommissioning and removal of the temporary equipment.
Final treatment and destruction of old odorization equipment.
The upgrade to the odorization system was seamless. The new equipment was installed on the old facility's footprint. There was no disruption of odorized natural gas sold to consumers.

When you select a security camera system, it is important to consider and ask questions about some of the possibilities that you want. Most homeowners wish to be alerted when a person approaches their home, so that they know when someone is at the door. This is because they know that they will not be sitting on their phone all the time watching what is happening. If you had the time to do that, then you could just sit at home and look out the window.
These days, many camera systems are accessible from your iPhone or Android phone. This is a very useful feature, in fact we helped to pioneer this level of access, even watching security cameras on our flip phones back in the day. But the problem is, that you will not be watching all the time. The battery in your phone would die and you would go over your data plan. So this access is important, but clearly it would be useful to have a system that could actually let you know when to watch instead.
For years, we have been designing these exact type of systems, by using external motion detector sensors and alarm cards. The motion sensor would send a signal to the IO board, which tied into our AVM (Advanced Video Management) camera system to send you an alert that the motion sensor had been tripped off and even sending a picture of what was happening. While this is still a very effective way of delivering positive alerts to homeowners, it does involve added hardware (exterior motion sensor, Alarm IO board) and additional cabling which can be costly depending on where the motion sensor will be placed. I have personally even used this method for alerts at my own home for years, and it is very effective, but does deliver the occasional false-alert: Deer or Coyote running up the driveway, Racoon jumping up on the trash can, or even tree blowing in the wind (though this usually takes a strong gust).
With this technology, you can really custom tune each of the alerts with our AVM system and the SMART camera, so that you receive alerts only during certain hours, or when another condition is met as well.
Don't fall for the claims of other systems, stating they can send text alerts. If the alerts are based on simple motion, you will receive so many false alerts, that you will shut off alerts in the first 5 minutes. True alerts need a method of eliminating false positives, like outside motion sensors or SMART HD IP Cameras.
Let Platinum CCTV help you enhance your home security camera system today.

Included below are some guidelines culled from business literature. To assist you in defining your ministry vision and mission.
Definition of a Vision: A Vision is defined as 'An Image of the future we seek to create'. It is a short paragraph providing a broad, aspirational image of the future.
Values are beliefs, which your organization's members hold in common and endeavor to put into practice. The values guide your organization's members in performing their activities. Specifically, you should ask, "What are the basic beliefs that we share as an organization?"
Marvin Weisbord writes in Productive Workplaces that values come alive only when people are involved in doing important tasks. Ideally, an individual's personal values will align with the spoken and unspoken values of the organization. By developing a written statement of the values of the organization, group members have a chance to contribute to the articulation of these values, as well as to evaluate how well their personal values and motivation match those of the organization.
Examples of values might include a commitment to excellent services, innovation, diversity, creativity, honesty, integrity, and so on. Values may include beliefs such as: "Eating vegetables is more economically efficient and ecologically responsible than eating beef."
What is the problem or need we are trying to meet?
Who are the beneficiaries of our work?
An infinitive that indicates a change in status, such as to increase, to decrease, to prevent, to eliminate.
An identification of the problem or condition to be changed.
An example of a purpose statement is "to eliminate homelessness." In defining the purpose, it is essential to focus on outcomes and results rather than methods: How is the world going to be different? What is going to change? Thus, the purpose of a health counseling service would never be simply "to provide counseling services," for that is describing a method rather than a result. Rather, the purpose might be "to improve the quality of life" for its clients.
to provide job training to homeless individuals.
Each of these are different businesses, but they may be different means of achieving the same purpose. Business statements often include the verb "to provide" or link a purpose statement with the words "by" or "through." For example: "To eliminate homelessness by providing job training to homeless individuals." A cautionary note: If the word "and" is in your purpose or business statement, ask yourselves, "Are we really committed to both ideas connected by the word" and, "or have we simply not been able to accept that one idea is more important?"

Category Archives: Type 63A
The Type 63A (also known as the ZTS63A) is an Amphibious light tank upgraded from the Type 63, designed for river-crossing operations at inland rivers and lakes. Its industrial designation is WZ213.
Before the mid-1990s, Chinese ground forces relied on the Type 63 amphibious light tank developed in the early 1960s. The low swimming speed and weak firepower of the Type 63 was insufficient to the needs of modern maritime amphibious assault operations that PLA would conduct. The PLA demanded a replacement for the Type 63 in the early 1990s, which led to the development of the Type 63A in 1997. Reports indicate that over 300 examples has been delivered to the PLA by the end of 2000.
The Type 63A is lightly armoured amphibious light tank with a flat, boat-like hull. Suspension is made up of 6 road wheels and lead or return rollers. A redesigned welded turret from the original Type 63 is mounted center of the hull, with the powerpack positioned in the rear. The Type 63A has 2 additional floating tanks to increase the stability of the vehicle in the water. There are 3 water inlets on both sides of the hull. In the rear of the hull there are to allow 2 large water jets for travelling in water.
Type 63A introduces an enlarged welded turret replacing the original Type 63 turret, the modernised Type 63A utilises the dual-way stabilised 105 mm rifled gun replacining the 85 mm gun. The 105 mm rifled gun, fires armour piercing fin stabilised discarding sabot (APFSDS), high explosive (HE), and high-explosive anti-tank (HEAT) ammunitions, with 45 rounds carried inside the vehicle. APFSDS round penetrates 650 mm steel armour or destroy a reinforced concrete bunker a distance of 2,000 m.
To overcome the inaccuracy of firing when swimming, the Type 63A uses laser-beam guidance ATGM which isn't affected by the wave motions while swimming. The missile has a maximum firing range of 4–5 km with a first hit probability of +90% against stationary targets. Its secondary functions can engage low-flying helicopters.
The Type 63A enhance capability allows the vehicle to conduct amphibious operations from its host amphibious warfare ships at distances from 5–7 km to shore at a speed of 28 km/h.
Compared to the Type 63, the Type 63A featured five major improvements: The modernised Type 63 to Type 63A has given enhanced sea travelling performance, increased swimming speed, improved fire-control system, ATGM capability, and larger 105 mm rifled gun with dual stabilizers.
The FCS includes digital fire-control computer, integrated commander sight with laser rangefinder input, and white-light spotter or image-stabilised gunner's sight w/ passive night vision. The Type 63A night vision is an image intensifier system. Alternatively the gunner sight can be fitted with a thermal imager night vision. It is also equipped with the satellite positioning (GPS/GLONASS) system to allow accurate landing position in harsh weather conditions and night operations. It's also equipped with computerised fire-control to enable accurate firing both on land and at sea.

South Africa, Block 11B/12B | Africa Energy Corp.
Block 11B/12B is located in the Outeniqua Basin approximately 175 kilometers off the southern coast of South Africa. The block covers an area of approximately 18,734 square kilometers with water depths ranging from 200 meters in the north to 2,000 meters in the south. The Lower Cretaceous Post-rift Paddavissie Fairway, which contains the Brulpadda Prospect, is located within the southwest corner of the block.
The Brulpadda-1AX well is being drilled in 1,432 meters of water to a total depth of 3,420 meters below sea level. The well will explore the oil potential in a mid-Cretaceous aged deep marine fan sandstone system within combined stratigraphic/structural closure. The prospect has been de-risked with 2D seismic and electromagnetic surveys. Four additional prospects have been defined within the fairway. In total, the five prospects have multi-billion-barrel resource potential. These prospects have clear amplitude anomalies with excellent structural conformance and flat spots indicating presence of hydrocarbons.
The Paddavissie Turbidite Play covers an area in excess of 2,000 square kilometers and is a similar play to the smaller Oryx and Sable oil fields located to the northwest in the adjacent Bredasdorp Basin. These complexes contain stratigraphically and structurally trapped oil and gas within excellent reservoir quality channel sandstones that form feeders to the outboard Paddavissie Fan Systems. Source rocks in the fetch area comprise both mid-Aptian and Hauterivian shales that entered maturity in early Tertiary and are presently within the main stage of oil generation.
Africa Energy holds a 4.9% effective interest in the Exploration Right for Block 11B/12B. The Company owns 49% of the shares in Main Street 1549 Proprietary Limited, which has a 10% participating interest in the block. Total as operator holds a 45% participating interest in Block 11B/12B, while Qatar Petroleum and CNRI hold 25% and 20%, respectively.

News analysis from Planet Waves
Sunshine is the Best Disinfectant
It's Time to Demand the Truth About Covid-19
"A noble and active mind blunts itself against nothing so quickly as the sharp and bitter irritant of knowledge."
— Thomas Mann, Death in Venice
The world, or much of it, is involved in a concentrated, dramatic and tragic health crisis similar to none we've seen in recent memory. There has been the claim of loss of life in every country. There is the claim of some new illness.
There has been and continues to be much needless suffering. In the United States, the situation seems to be getting worse, not better. It's become clouded in partisan politics, disinformation campaigns, and needless chaos in our public health response. Corporate leaders are competing to create a vaccine for an illness that they don't understand.
Apart from those who are actually sick— from what, we do not know for sure — many others are panicked, frightened, confused, angry, or hungry. Many are grieving relatives, friends and loved ones who have been lost, and fearing for the safety of others. There is this idea floating around that to question the narrative we are being given is disrespectful of the dead. I would propose the opposite: we deserve to know what is hurting us and how, so we can do something about it.
For everyone else experiencing this matter through its effects, the negativity and stress are nearly unbearable. The prevailing feeling of helplessness is agonizing to behold. The message being given to the public, over and over again, is: there is nothing that can be done, except maybe a vaccine, which might not work and might also be harmful.
It actually seems that medical science, for as "advanced" as it is, cannot help much, especially if 88% of patients die after being put on a ventilator. Therefore, the only solution is for people to stay home, and wear a mask when you don't. That is not enough — and is of dubious help. Yet there is plenty medicine can do to help, if only we could know about it, and if the profession could establish some standards.
We are not in the midst of a medical mystery thriller. We are in the midst of persistent, toxic chaos, and it's not reassuring of anyone or anything. At times it looks like incompetence or negligence. And other times it looks like intentional deceit: like a cover-up.
People are easily manipulated when they are scared, confused and hungry. We must guard that vulnerability carefully, and take care about the many agendas that are roaming the planet right now. If you are not seeing this as a time of opportunity, many others are — big time.
We Have a Truth Problem
It is time to admit that we have a truth problem with this whole issue: with the "novel" coronavirus, and Covid-19 and all of their implications. We don't know the truth about what is happening, or how it happened, and we must demand it.
From whom? From everyone: from our political leaders on every level; from the public health establishment; from news media, which is supposed to actually investigate and hold the government accountable rather than repeating its claims; and from the medical profession and our personal doctors. This demand must be a community effort, following an ethos that goes beyond "trust the experts."
Most of all, we must insist on a standard of truth from ourselves, and from the people we know who are interested. Nearly all the time, the position of people on the ground is to submit to whatever authority figures may say without question — and to chide and marginalize those who dare to ask questions as "conspiracy theorists." That is a toxic environment where honest inquiry cannot survive for long.
People are easily manipulated when they are scared, confused and hungry. We must guard that vulnerability carefully, and take care about the many agendas that are roaming the planet right now. If you are not seeing this as a time of opportunity, many others are — big time. And we must take care of the many people hurt by this crisis in ways other than medical.
We at Planet Waves have for nearly five months been team-reading well known publications such as The New York Times, the Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal, and many others. And we have been tracking what is published outside the mainstream press, by which I mean scientific journals, medical school publications, primary source government documents, the international press, specialty publications and the reporting of both doctors and independent journalists around the world.
Our readers have sent in many interesting and valuable articles that have helped keep us up to date with the nuances of the issues. You can find a selection of the thousands of articles we have reviewed on our own blog, Covid19 News (published by our nonprofit arm Chiron Return). I've also been tracking what is reported on television, and what health officials and other government officers have to say to the general public when they are quoted in mainstream articles.
Together, we assess the content, the context and as best we can, the veracity what we're reading. The article you are reading presents what we've learned on only a few issues; there are many more. And we could say much more about the ones we've covered here.
Here's what I can tell you, after all of this work and all this immersion in what is going on behind the scenes.
I have never seen a more frightening gap between what is on TV and quoted in mainstream outlets, and what you find out when you seek real information and contrast many sources. We have witnessed recent precedents for this kind of reality gap, which include the claim — reported and affirmed by every single mainstream newspaper and TV network — that Saddam Hussein was involved with the 9/11 incident, had a nuclear bomb program and in effect was about to take over the world in 2003 if the United States did not wage war against him.
We all know the truth: there were no weapons of mass destruction. There was no nuclear bomb program. Saddam Hussein had nothing to do with 9/11.
In the Covid situation, officials, such as at the World Health Organization (the WHO) and the National Institutes of Health (NIH) can reverse their positions from one day to the next, and it's barely noticed, much less taken as a cause for concern. For example, high level officials may tweet something one day, get headlines, and deny it the following day (recall the WHO tweet on asymptomatic carriers, and another on whether the virus can be spread outside).
To give another example, in March, CDC reversed its position on masks (very few of which are in fact actual PPE), abandoning its longstanding position that their use by healthy people is not necessary.
In a March 8 interview on the CBS program 60 Minutes, Anthony Fauci, head of the National Institute for Allergies and Infectious Diseases, explained it this way: "When you're in the middle of an outbreak, wearing a mask might make people feel a little bit better, and it might even block a droplet. But it's not providing the perfect protection that people think that it is. And often, there are unintended consequences."
Was there some scientific discovery that led to the reversal? Was there a discovery that bandannas work better than masks? I never heard of one. Earlier this month, Fauci tried to explain away his reversal in his interview with Mark Zuckerberg, claiming that really, it was about conserving supplies for health care workers.
As for problems with testing: reports of data problems and foul-ups with the various tests come through our reporters' discussion list every day. Contaminated test kits, rushed sampling and analysis, inexperienced lab techs, failure to change gloves between each patient, messy paperwork, the same patient repeatedly testing both negative and positive, and differing testing methods and protocols from state to state, are all reported regularly, though in a scattershot way. They seem to run in cycles, with each major issue periodically recurring.
Nobody in the "big media" is pulling all of the pieces together, or even trying to — which effort would make it clear how serious these problems are and how sketchy this revered thing called science is.
Can you imagine if that made cable news, much of which is paid for by pharmaceutical companies? It would create a panic around these extremely profitable classes of drugs. This is a plausible reason to leave it out of the news — along with much else that's being left out.
Twenty to Thirty Times Lower Death Toll Was Possible
Every now and then, the truth slips in. Last Thursday morning on live cable television, Dr. Sanjay Gupta, CNN's medical correspondent, said something I have proposed: that the Covid-19 death toll would be "20 to 30 times lower" had the medical profession handled the situation better — which would have required the cooperation of the government. If he is correct, that's a lot of lives that could have been saved.
What is he talking about? I've read enough to know some of the kinds of measures that would have and still can contribute to saving lives — there are many, and none involve flying saucers, fairy dust or the Illuminati. It's been reported that many people who die from Covid-19 are Vitamin D deficient. That's easy to address in advance. It has been known since the discovery of coronaviruses in the 1970s that they are averse to zinc, both from gargling and supplementation. That's cheap and easy to take advantage of.
There are also direct measures that doctors can use to protect their patients and move them out of harm's way. For example, a great many people are on medications called ACE2 inhibitors, or statin drugs. These are both suspected to make Covid-19 more deadly (designed to regulate blood pressure and cholesterol, both make the ACE2 receptor more vulnerable to attack by the virus). There is also a problem with proton pump inhibitor antacids, such as Prilosec (which have many other issues).
Can you imagine if that made cable news, much of which is paid for by pharmaceutical companies? It would create a panic around these extremely profitable classes of drugs. This is a plausible reason to leave it out of the news — along with much else that's being left out. Once and once only, I saw a CNN feature on how zinc helps. Why isn't that on once per hour? There's a reason. If there's a way to prevent this immediately and safely, there goes the vaccine gold rush now underway.
Note, if you are concerned about your medication, speak with your doctor, get a second opinion and do some reading. This article is not intended as medical advice; it is intended as reporting the information and facts we have learned. Also, we were just made aware of a study discounting this connection. That does not make it "proven science" and one must be vigilant about the financial interests involved in statins and ACE2 drugs.
The Covid-related economic crisis has been complete with market crashes, the price of oil falling below zero, tens of millions newly on the unemployment rolls (and shorn of health insurance), and trillions of dollars in new government debt racked up in a just a few months — and frankly, with no end in sight.
Social and Economic Unrest
Beyond the disaster caused by our ill-equipped, poorly informed, profit-driven, disorganized and too-small medical system, we are facing an economic crisis. As of now we do not understand the extent of the economic problem, or the potential implications.
They have yet to set in, though they are serious: a massive swath of the tax base has dropped out from under the government.
And there is also a social crisis. To give one example, federal cops in unmarked tactical uniforms with unmarked vehicles — a secret federal police force — have been arresting protesters in Portland. This made page one of The New York Times. Covid contact tracing phone software (supposedly a public health measure, at the cost of privacy) has been used to track people at protests in Minneapolis.
All of this is set in the midst of a crisis sustained by a staggering "case" count based on the improperly used polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test; reports of people who did not even give a sample getting a call saying their test was positive; and innumerable accounts of deaths being falsely reported as from Covid, and doctors being pressured to claim a death was Covid when it was not. In the spring, we published a series of articles on governments walking back their presumed Covid death counts, upon further research — a kind of story we see appear regularly.
Perhaps some people recognize that there's something not quite adding up. If you ask about this, you might be accused by your neighbors of believing in "conspirituality." What is that? It's "the confluence of right wing conspiracy propaganda and new-age magical thinking," as someone on the Pacifica Radio station managers list said about me today after reviewing a draft of this article.
Most others are so frightened by the endless news reports as to be paralyzed and cut off from their own ability to think rationally. And in any situation where science is a factor, most people are conned out of their ability to think for themselves by how mystical the whole situation seems, and all the technical language. We easily forget that the whole concept of science is to demystify and make practical.
And as has been selectively reported, 13 of the first 41 cases in Wuhan had no contact with the fish market. This demonstrates that the cases did not originate there and that the others were brought to the market from somewhere else. Where is that somewhere else? I am surprised people are not more curious about this. I am also surprised to hear people say that it doesn't matter where the virus came from.
In The Beginning: The Origins of This Situation Matter
One of the biggest deceptions involves how all of this happened. We have had no information forthcoming about the actual origin of the suspected virus — only disinformation. If the matter comes up (it hasn't for a while), all we get on cable news and the big news sites, to this day, is the often-repeated, untrue story of how the virus originated with a bat at a disgusting market in China where they eat anything. Then suddenly the whole world was infected.
In fact, 13 of the first 41 cases showed no link to the Huanan wet market where the outbreak was said to have begun, according to a study published by The Lancet medical journal. "That's a big number, 13, with no link," said Daniel Lucey, an infectious disease specialist at Georgetown University, in an interview with Science.
Early on, the wet market story was modified to the degree of admitting that bats are not sold at markets or eaten at cafes in China.
We were then told it must have gone from a bat (who flew from a cave six hundred miles away, coincidentally the same cave where scientists collect bat viruses) through some other unnamed, unidentified animal, to a human and poof, global disaster.
This contact tracing demonstrates that the first cases were brought to the market from somewhere else.
Where is that somewhere else? I am surprised people are not more curious about this. I am also surprised to hear people say it doesn't matter where this came from.
Driving directions from the Wuhan Institute of Virology to the seafood market where the outbreak is falsely claimed to have begun. It's a half-hour drive, most of which is probably consumed by sitting in traffic. There is another lab, owned by the government, that handles bat coronaviruses located even closer to the market.
The point of origin matters; all beginnings do. That is in the Tao Te Ching, and it's the basis of astrology, astronomy, cosmology and radiocarbon dating.
The Torah and the Holy Bible begin with the phrase, In the beginning. Ancient and modern storytelling is on a constant quest for the origins of whatever it is considering. And now that something has suddenly impacted the whole world, nobody is interested?
The origins of a thing determine its qualities at the inception: its true nature and intent. If the virus did not originate from the seafood market in Wuhan, it had to come from somewhere else. There are only a few plausible possibilities. They all involve laboratories.
It happens that there are two labs where people routinely handle coronaviruses in Wuhan — one of which is a BSL 4 (biosafety level 4, the highest) factory-sized laboratory right in town that collects, concentrates and manufactures coronaviruses, ostensibly for research purposes. The BSL 4 lab is partially paid for by the CDC (that is, the U.S. federal CDC, thanks to the generosity of Tony Fauci) — and is the only facility of its kind in all of China.
The other is a BSL 2 lab that is owned and run by the Chinese government, the city's Center for Disease Control. That is barely 200 meters from the seafood market, though I could not map it for some reason. With these two facilities, we have potential point sources.
Credible scientists have said that the virus looks like it came out of a lab, including Luc Montagnier, the Nobel Prize winning discoverer of the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV). References quoting Montagnier have been subject to Facebook "fact checking" bans, as if a social media platform is capable of refuting the opinion of a Nobel-laureate virologist. The problem of blocking and removing discussion of Covid from search engines and social platforms has persisted, most recently with Google banning ads from anything it considers to be a "conspiracy page." (Conspiracy is actually a crime in state and federal jurisdictions, so I wonder how that distinction is made.)
Setting aside any thoughts of a potential bioterrorism incident (which is always possible here in the age of terrorism), the virus may have escaped from a lab by accident (such events are commonplace, such as potentially someone got exposed at work, got sick and passed it on). Researchers frequently get the viruses they investigate, and lab safety issues are well-established as a persistent problem. If such a thing happened, it would be nice to know exactly what this stuff is and what its properties are. Maybe there's an antidote (in virology, called an antiserum).
While we are on the topic, what exactly is the Wuhan Institute of Virology used for? What kinds of experiments do they do there, and what is their complete inventory of viruses? Why is it cosponsored by the United States (which began when virus enhancement research was illegal domestically) ? Why is the whole thing kept so hush-hush?
Everyone is on notice that this is a potential problem. It is not science fiction. It's reflective of the scientific and political realities of our day — realities that have existed at least since the 1950s.
If perchance this incident is the result of bioterrorism, it would be sensible to know who did it, which could help stop a second attack. If "gain of function" is involved in the pathogen or pathogens circulating (a common practice of designing a virus to be more powerful in certain specific ways, usually for biowarfare), we would benefit from knowing exactly what functions have been juiced up and why. Credible scientists have offered their view that this virus comes out of a lab, and we are aware of many plausible theories for how that may have happened — including through a bad batch of influenza vaccines (which, alongside other vaccines, are often contaminated with unintended viruses through the problem of cell line contamination).
Knowing the exact nature of the problem and its origins would help doctors and public health officials understand the situation and formulate appropriate responses. It would help them save lives. The "mystery virus" scenario does not. Keeping people in suspense is good for ratings, which are in actual fact a concern and a goal of infotainment disguised as "news" networks, which run endless ads for drugs (and fast food).
When someone goes to a doctor with a problem, it may take months or even years to come up with a solid, trustworthy diagnosis. Many tests are involved. Second and third opinions are sought; specialists are involved. If you want to solve a problem, it helps to understand it first, especially where medical decisions are concerned and life is at stake.
Biotech and Statistics are Not Diagnosis
There are, as many have noted, more questions and contradictions than answers — which may have been conceivable in March but is not acceptable eight months into the global medical response to the problem. Among the best doctors in the world, this problem can be solved. Yet the helplessness and hopelessness persist.
Vintage polymerase chain reaction computer. Photo provided by one of our reporters, who used the device for research during her graduate studies.
The size and scale of the outbreak is indicated not by hospitalization rates, hospital capacity or even death counts.
The problem is most often described by the tally of "confirmed cases," which today make it seem like the entire state of Florida and indeed the entire southern United States should be strewn with people struggling to breathe and dying of blood clots. That is not happening.
At the heart of this situation is a thing many people had not heard of till Covid: the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test that is being used to give us the staggering count of "confirmed cases." But next to none of these are actually diagnosed, with other possibilities ruled out.
Antibodies tests are coming into use, and they have their own problems, which I will come back to in a different article. The main issue with the antibodies test is their unreliability. The government has not decided whether having antibodies means one is now immune (the usual definition, and the goal of a vaccine) or whether it means one is still an "active case." Then the two numbers have been added together, supporting the illusion of more cases than actually exist.
After a few employees developed a bad cough, medical school officials feared it was whooping cough, which is thought to be highly contagious.
The Case of the Nonexistent Cases: A Phony Pertussis Epidemic — at Dartmouth Medical School
PCR testing, invented in the early 1980s, has previously been responsible for raising false alarms and even creating pseudo-epidemics. Its inventor, who won the Nobel Prize for his work, warned about this possibility for decades. He warned that biotechnology is not medical diagnosis.
Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center, where one of the false pertussis outbreaks occurred.
The federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) documented three examples of PCR false alarms in its Aug. 24, 2007 Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR) titled "Outbreaks of Respiratory Illness Mistakenly Attributed to Pertussis — New Hampshire, Massachusetts, and Tennessee, 2004–2006." In the space remaining, I will tell you about one of them.
As background, pertussis, or whooping cough, is potentially fatal for infants, children and adults. Its symptoms are nondescript and could apply to many issues, much like those of Covid-19: runny nose, watery eyes, a fever, and, eventually, a severe cough.
In addition to being documented by MMWR, the magazine Dartmouth Medicine detailed the administration's response to a suspected 2006 outbreak in New Hampshire at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center.
To investigate, the PCR test was used. One thousand employees were screened and tested. Sick people were ordered home, prophylactic antibiotics were given to "1,300 contacts of suspected cases," and over 4,500 campus employees were vaccinated in a three day period. In the process, 146 PCR-confirmed positive "cases" came back from the lab and a major outbreak was "confirmed." (This is similar to how we have millions of "confirmed cases" of Covid-19 using the PCR test.)
Then what happened?
Eight months later, the employees were informed that it was a false alarm after the PCR test results were sent for confirmation by another method. Nobody actually had the disease.
Most biological samples from healthy people contain a brew of viruses and bacteria, so many things will be available in any one of them. Just because it turns up in a PCR test does not mean it's the cause of the disease, or the result of a disease.
An 'Outbreak' Without a Single Case
"Not a single case of whooping cough was confirmed with the definitive test, growing the bacterium, Bordetella pertussis, in the laboratory, The New York Times accurately reported. "Instead, it appears the health care workers probably were afflicted with ordinary respiratory diseases like the common cold."
How was this possible?
It's because the PCR test was relied on as diagnostic tool when it's not one. It can find very nearly anything it's told to look for; the "chain reaction" is an amplification process. It takes anything the researcher wants to find, and makes more of it.
aMost biological samples from healthy people contain a brew of viruses and bacteria, so many things will be available in any one of them. Just because it turns up in a PCR test does not mean it's the cause of the disease, or a result of a disease.
Misuse of the PCR test is what's sustaining the idea of how large the case count is. Public health officials are on notice that tests being used for Covid can pick up coronaviruses that cause the common cold, or, according to Cormon et al, potentially a detection range that potentially includes all Asian viruses. Should that kind of error occur, the result still becomes a "confirmed case" of Covid-19.
The implication of the Dartmouth incident and others like it is that the PCR test can find something that may not exist or may not be pertinent to the diagnosis in question.
In light of this, in 2007 CDC presciently warned that "overreliance on the results of PCR assays can lead to implementation of unnecessary and resource-intensive control measures," and cautions that "in outbreak settings, positive PCR results should be interpreted in conjunction with epidemiologic investigation, evaluation of clinical symptoms, and confirmation by culture."
CDC and FDA emergency use instructions for the PCR test for SARS-nCoV-2 say essentially the same thing: that it's not a diagnostic tool, nor is it proof of infection, infectiousness or of disease. Those must be confirmed other ways. But they are not: a single PCR test for the virus is considered a "confirmed case" of Covid-19, the disease that the virus presumably causes. "Confirmed" implies a second testing method.
Testing positive by a nose-swab test is no more proof of disease than having tobacco on one's breath is proof of lung cancer.
None of the test's protocols are being followed. The claimed virus has not been purified, nor has a causative relationship between exposure and resulting sickness been confirmed. We do not know for sure that the residue found in people's nasal cavities is related to the "novel coronavirus" — the fragments are associated with it by a kind of inference. What we have is a correlation, and that is (as everyone knows) not scientifically confirmed causation. When someone dies, there is not an autopsy. Rather, a box is checked on a form.
Medical and scientific chaos is prevailing. People are giving up their civil rights as if they are meaningless. Many feel that to demand our rights is some kind of sacrilege.
We Must Demand More
Many are grieving the loss of loved ones. Many are afraid of their relatives and friends getting sick. This grief must be honored and not taken advantage of or exploited for corporate or political ends.
Society must do better than it is doing. Governments, particularly in the United States, are making far-reaching public policy based on incomplete, false or sketchy information. This crisis was begun when we were all told that at minimum 30% (and up to 70%) of the world population would get this disease, and 1% to 3% would die. Nothing of the kind is happening, though many governments are pretending that it is. Actual case fatality is in the range of 1 to 4 in a thousand, not 1 to 3 in a hundred. That is an order of magnitude differential.
Medical and scientific chaos is prevailing. People are giving up their civil rights as if they are meaningless. Many feel that to demand our rights is some kind of sacrilege. That sounds like what gun proponents have said after each and every mass shooting: this is not the time to develop a sane firearms policy. Leave that for later. Well, no. We need the facts about this now, and they are not going to be turned over voluntarily.
A thousand lies do not add up to the truth. You cannot carry water in a sieve.
Faulty scientific testing does not add up to the truth.
But someone knows the truth: someone, indeed, many people know what has happened and what is happening, on every level, whether medical, political or social — and happening directly to us. People who are close to events but not directly involved have different reasons for not speaking out: anyone who does so will be seen as a "whistle blower," and we know what usually happens to them: at minimum, they must sacrifice their career and will often attract public scorn.
Meanwhile, we are not being protected from a potentially deadly disease. We do not know that the "novel coronavirus" is the actual pathogen or cause of disease. I challenge anyone to produce a scientific paper proving that it is, to the exclusion of all else.
We are sacrificing the pillars of American society day by day, which is too high of a price to pay at the altar of confusion, deception and profit agendas we are not acknowledging. It is time to both demystify and demand the truth about the "novel" coronavirus, Covid-19, and every issue associated with it.
As has been said before, sunshine is the best disinfectant.

PS — As we were going to press, one of our editors sent in this article, about how 5G technology (meaning very short microwaves) can induce the production of viruses in exposed cells. This is an issue that is lurking just behind public awareness.
This is said to be controversial, though EMFs or "radio frequency radiation" is a known source of injury to bees, other animals and are a type 2B probable human carcinogen according to the World Health Organization. Whether this is considered "proven" or not, it is an issue that deserves a public debate. 5G technology was rolled out starting in December, and Wuhan and New York City were among the first. Wuhan was able to have sufficient data capacity to allow autonomous city buses to operate. If you bring this up, you're called a conspiracy nut. It's not going on TV, which is sponsored by the 5G rollout.

Yes your country has a terrible truth problem, because you worship snake oil and money and you always have.
Its a new virus that everyone everywhere is playing catch up, but so many of your countrymen expect your officials to either be deities or monsters when the truth is they are human.
Granted your lot are more corrupt and venal than most, but that goes back to snake oil and money.
Your values as a nation are crass fake and vulgar and your sense of exceptionalism wont let you listen to the observers from outside who see you more clearly than you can see yourselves.
You elected a reality tv fraudster, a man the rest of the world has known about since the 80s. You elected a b grade actor who decimated your education system and undermined your press, so that talkback radio poisoned the minds of already ignorant people.
You elected those Bush idiots and that frat boy Clinton.
For a tiny moment you pleasantly surprised us all by electing a man who was mentally sophisticated and looked outwards but then you undermined him at every step, and blocked all that was sensible and sane.
You believed your own propoganda, you allowed phony religion and cults to take hold of your government.
You believed in freedom without responsibility.
You worship instruments of death as penis substitutes and are complacent at the slaughter of your own children while shrinking in fear at the outsider.
You are a nation based on irony without the ability to see it. You look for conspiracy while ignoring your own agency in this mess.
You use jingoism as armour against self recognition, and as justification for your meddling and exploitation of other nations while sanctimoniously touting yourself as 'freer'.
Yet you are emotionally stunted, prudish and with bizarre priorities, more offended by the word fuck than the reality of your sick murderous rampages in the name of freedumb, and soaked in fear. Fear generated by your media and sucked up by your credulous population.
You cant handle this pandemic because of what youve become as a nation.
Dont point fingers at WHO, because they too are humans struggling to find a way in all this, point fingers at your ridiculous government and your selfish populace.
Dont point fingers at scientists who cant immediately find the cause.
There are plenty of countries who are dealing with this with commonsense, humanity and restraint.
Your country has handled it worse than anywhere else in the world.
Own it, because until you all do then there is no moving forward.
As an astrologer you should be able to recognise the massive test you face as a nation, which you are currently failing on every level.
And your disgusting farce of a 'leader' would buy up all vaccine/ steal it from Germany or wherever he can, deny other countries to keep himself and his grostesque brood out of jail.
You are now a pariah nation. We look on you with pity, horror and disgust.
Unfortunately your madness spreads via the internet and your 'culture' and infects us all.
The irony of the wall is perfect. If only we could wall you off and let your national cage fight play itself out.
Oh and remind yourselves repeatedly of how your nation was primarily responsible for the millions upon millions who died of the 'spanish' flu and the worst crime against humanity – nuclear war.
Responsible for bringing down democracies left right and centre, your nations hypocricies just goes on and on and on.
So pull yourselves together, get rid of that freak, and collectively grow up and take responsibility instead of constantly whining at the unfairness of it all.
And you should be nominated for a Pulitzer…you write like an angel.

Interesting, If you hate America so much and you hate what this guy is saying, I surely wonder why you are here making comments. Some of us haven't been brainwashed and still have common sense – Troll
Incredible the scientific "community" is standing for this.
"As is usual, there is little transparency of reporting of technical information: (i) the first paper [166] does not mention either RNA integrity or purity assessment, the second refers to spectrometric analysis but provides no information on sample quality, (ii) there is inadequate reporting of RT conditions, (iii) a single reference gene is used with no evidence that this is expressed stably across all conditions, (iv) there are mistakes in the published primer sequences, (v) primers do not detect all splice variants, and (vi) one assay is nonexon spanning, but no controls are provided to show the absence of contaminating genomic DNA." — Dr Steve Bustin

Strikeforce: Fedor vs. Silva Recap & Updated Odds
Strikeforce: Fedor vs. Silva was an exciting night of fights for fans. The all Heavyweight Strikeforce event actually provided a lot of entertaining fights and was probably a quite successful event for Strikeforce. It kicked off the beginning of their Heavyweight World Grand Prix in exciting fashion and already there is a lot of intrigue after the massive upset in the main event.
I made picks and betting predictions on the card and one important thing for a bettor to do, is to look back at the fights and see where we were right and where we were wrong. I went 3-2 on public predictions, but went 3-0 on my betting picks, including a huge underdog win with my pick of Antonio Silva in the main event. So congratulations if you decided to come along on the Underdog Train for profit.
For a quick recap of the fights and results from the undercard check out my own site HERE
For now let's get into the main card fights.
Chad Griggs defeated Gian Villante by TKO in Round 1 (2:49)
Closing Betting Line: Gian Villante (-325) – Chad Griggs (+250)
My Prediction: Villante by TKO in Round 2
My Placed Bets: None on this fight
What Happened?: I said in my analysis that I expected Villante to wrestle and use takedowns to win him this fight. I didn't recommend a bet, because I thought the odds were too steep, and they continued to get worse, so I stayed away. I'm never a huge fan of laying big odds on a largely unproved prospect. Villante had a clear path to victory with his wrestling. Instead, he played right into Griggs' strengths.
I said that the longer this fight stayed standing, the more it would benefit the underdog; Griggs. And "The Gravedigger" proved me right. He took advantage of Villante's willingness to stand and trade and won most of the fight's exchanges. Villante had a speed advantage, but Griggs was able to pick his shots and land the bigger, more powerful punches. Eventually after some back and forth trading, Griggs landed some shots that dazed Villante. Griggs sensing his opponent was rocked went right after him and delivered as another sizeable underdog.
Grand Prix Handicapping Thoughts for the Future: Villante proved that against the bigger and tougher competition of big league Heavyweights he's not going to last. He needs to cut the weight and drop to 205 pounds, where he might find more success. Also, he needs to stick to a game plan and focus on winning the fight, using his strengths instead of playing into the strengths of his opponent. The loss will surely hurt his reputation and lose him some faith from his supporters in the betting public.
Griggs didn't show us a whole lot that we hadn't seen before. Villante never really worked for takedowns, so it's hard to see if his defensive wrestling improved. But he again showed us that he has good stand up ability, crisp boxing and big power in his punches. Anyone willing to stand and trade with him is clearly putting themselves in jeopardy of getting knocked out.
Valentijn Overeem defeated Ray Sefo by Submission in Round 1 (1:37)
Closing Betting Line: Valentijn Overeem (-156) – Ray Sefo (+141)
My Prediction: Overeem via Submission in Round 1
My Placed Bets: 0.5 Units on Overeem (-150) to win 0.3333 Units (WON 0.3333 UNITS)
What Happened?: This fight kind of went exactly as I predicted in my analysis. Overeem and Sefo spent a bit of time trading on the feet, but Overeem was cautiously looking for openings the whole time. It didn't take long for him to find one and capitalize. He was able to secure the neck of Sefo, and earn an awkward looking takedown. Overeem wasn't able to lock in a full Guillotine Choke but was wrenching on Sefo's neck and that was enough, as he earned a rare submission from a Neck Crank.
Grand Prix Handicapping Thoughts for the Future: Sefo showed that he has decent stand up skills, but no one was ever questioning his ability as a kick boxer. But, he clearly has issues in his overall MMA game. Despite expansive training with Randy and the team at Xtreme Couture, Sefo looked completely lost once the fight hit the mat, and tapped out from an unimpressive submission hold not long after. At 40 years old, he likely doesn't have much of a future in the sport.
Overeem is on a bit of a career resurgence with 3 straight wins, and actually looked pretty good in this fight. His stand up looked good, and physically he looked in better shape than he usually does. He has a good training camp, but he's advancing in age, so I doubt he turns himself into a contender. However, he should always be able to beat one dimensional fighters with his experience and well-roundedness. But the way this fight went down, it's tough to make any meaningful analysis of his skills, other than him being in better physical shape than usual.
Shane del Rosario defeated Lavar Johnson by Submission in Round 1 (4:31)
Closing Betting Line: Shane del Rosario (-250) – Lavar Johnson (+190)
My Prediction: del Rosario via Submission in Round 3
My Placed Bets: 0.5 Units on del Rosario (-175) to win 0.2857 Units (WON 0.2857 UNITS)
What Happened?: Late money poured in on undefeated Shane del Rosario after the weigh-ins. And though bettors might have been sweating a little bit at the beginning of the fight, del Rosario came through for his supporters. I expected the two to feel each other out on the feet to get the fight started, and that's what happened. But it didn't last long, and early in the round Johnson earned a takedown and was ground and pounding on del Rosario for a bit. Shane was able to escape back to his feet, and the two began to slug it out once again.
The crowd came alive as the big boys kept looking for the knockout. That's when my analysis proved correct, despite being two rounds earlier than I expected. Del Rosario settled down a bit and was able to use his speed to land some big counter punches as Johnson swung wildly. He then earned a trip takedown and put a ground clinic on Johnson. He quickly advanced to mount and delivered punches before transitioning to a straight Armbar and earning the tap-out.
Grand Prix Handicapping Thoughts for the Future: This was probably a good fight for both guys. Johnson fared better than many expected him to and was able to deliver some decent shots on the ground at the beginning of the fight. Johnson actually looked good on top, but del Rosario was able to escape relatively easily, so Johnson should look to improve his offensive grappling and wrestling a bit. In the stand up game, Johnson remains a threatening Heavyweight with big power who can end fights standing with any clean punch.
Shane del Rosario continued to improve his stock with the big win. Strikeforce CEO Scott Coker said we would surely see more of him on the main cards. He looked great escaping from the bottom against Johnson early in the round, and showed some real improvement in his grappling skills. He transitioned easily to mount and was able to ground and pound effectively. His transition to a straight Armbar was very smooth and impressive for a fighter who started as mostly a striker. His time spent at DeathClutch Gym is clearly paying dividends for the young Heavyweight.
Sergei Kharitonov defeated Andrei Arlovski by Knockout in Round 1 (2:49) – Grand Prix Quarterfinals
Closing Betting Line: Sergei Kharitonov (-130) – Andrei Arlovski (+115)
My Prediction: Arlovski by Unanimous Decision
My Placed Bets: None on this fight.
What Happened?: Basically what I thought would happen but talked myself out of. I said it several times in my picks and analysis that I thought Arlovski's chin would likely betray him and it did. During the stand up, Arlovski did show a speed and technical boxing advantage. However, Kharitonov used the clinch and dirty boxing to land bigger power punches and test the chin of Arlovski. Midway through the round, he landed good Uppercuts from the clinch and rocked Arlovski, he poured on the offense as Arlovski swung wildly trying to defend himself, and Kharitonov knocked him out cold at 2:49 of the first round.
Grand Prix Handicapping Thoughts for the Future: Sergei Kharitonov proved to have a solid game plan going into the fight. He said he didn't think Arlovski would be able to stand up to his power and he proved himself right. Knowing that Arlovski was more of a technical fighter, Kharitonov negated his advantage by fighting from the clinch and using dirty boxing. He landed the power shots and put an end to the fight early. Also good for him, was he took very little damage from Arlovski which is important moving onto the next round of the Heavyweight Grand Prix.
Andrei Arlovski showed what everyone (including me) already knew. I said that I wasn't sure I could trust Arlovski's chin, but thought that his technical boxing would be better than Kharitonov's. Both of those turned out to be true. Any time Arlovski fights it's going to be hard to pick him since anyone with any semblance of power seems to knock him out with ease. That glass chin is a definite problem, and now on a four fight skid, one would have to wonder is the Belarusian will consider retirement.
Antonio Silva defeated Fedor Emelianenko by TKO in Round 2 (5:00) – Grand Prix Quarterfinals
Closing Betting Line: Fedor Emelianenko (-450) – Antonio Silva (+385)
My Prediction: Silva by Unanimous Decision
My Placed Bets: 1 Unit on Silva (+300) to win 3 Units (WON 3 UNITS)
What Happened: A lot of late money came in on Fedor and I actually ended up adding one more half unit on Silva at +325, and another half unit at +375, so I actually cashed in for a bit more on this fight. In terms of the fight however, it went largely as I expected, although Silva showed a bit more dominance than I ever thought possible.
The first round gave a slight edge to Emelianenko on most people's scorecards. Silva tried to use his jab and reach advantage to stay on the outside of Fedor, but Emelianenko was able to sneak inside and land some decent punches. The two clinched and traded time against the cage eating and throwing knees. Fedor went for a Guillotine and Silva stumbled to the mat while escaping. Fedor dove into his guard and delivered some big punches, and almost got himself into a mount position, but had to settle for a crucifix position. Silva was able to get back to his feet and land some big punches, but Fedor was right there to trade with him until the end of the round.
The second round was all Silva. Five seconds into the round Silva ducked a punch and got a double-leg takedown. Emelianenko never got up. Silva quickly moved to half guard and delivered some ground and pound, before moving to mount and delivering some huge ground and pound. Fedor gave up his back several times, and Silva was almost able to lock in a Rear naked choke, before going for more ground and pound. He almost finished the fight with an Arm-Triangle choke, but Fedor again managed to escape. Silva continued to pound away however, and although Fedor looked for a knee bar with only seconds left in the round, it was a dominant round for Silva and he had battered the face of the Russian.
When Fedor returned to his corner after the round he was inspected by cage side doctors. They decided that he was unfit to continue. His right eye was completely swollen shut and bloodied and battered. The eye actually made what GSP did to Josh Koscheck look unimpressive.
Grand Prix Handicapping Thoughts for the Future: After the fight Fedor hinted at retirement and although he hasn't even hit 40 years old, that may not be a bad idea. He was once thought of as the most dominant Heavyweight on the planet, and earned his reputation, but he has now lost two straight fights. At 230 pounds, size definitely plays a part in his recent struggles. And as MMA evolves and Heavyweights get bigger, faster, stronger and more skilled, it's going to be harder for Fedor to win. As it is, he showed his trademark durability, but was lacking the usual ground game from the bottom that had allowed him to escape from danger before.
For Antonio Silva he proved a lot in this fight. He said he thought his edge would lie on the ground and he went after it. Although he struggled to earn a takedown in the first round he was competitive on the feet, although it might be cause for concern that Fedor was able to land so easily despite the reach disadvantage. On the ground though, Silva put on an impressive showing. The BJJ Black Belt transitioned positions easily and almost ended the fight with two submission attempts as well as ground and pound that basically rearranged the face of the Russian. Silva proved that if you let him get on top of you, you're going to be in for a long, hard, painful night.
Final Thoughts on the Card
Betting wise it was obviously an excellent night. Our two favorites came through for us and earned us a decent chunk of change. Seeing how easily Overeem dominated Sefo, I think I should have maybe laid a full unit on him at the price of -150, but hindsight is always 20-20.
And our big underdog bet came through for us. Those are the type of bets you only need to win once in a while to make them profitable, and anyone who came along for the ride congratulations on earning some cash with me.

Q: Explanation of this diagram of the First Isomorphism theorem? I am familiar with the first isomorphism theorem, but looking on wikipedia I see this image which I do not understand.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:First-isomorphism-theorem.svg

A few specific questions about it:

*

*What do the arrows coming from/ leading to a $0$ mean? Are they different from the other arrows? Also, since I clearly don't understand the diagram, I might as well ask what the other arrows mean too.

*How am I supposed to read the diagram? Naturally I want to start at the $0$ in the bottom left and go from $\ker f$ to $G/\ker f$.

*It seems like the whole statement of the theorem is contained in the one block $G/\ker f \simeq \operatorname{im} f$ so what is the point of the rest of the diagram?

A: You'll probably find it helpful to read about exact sequences. There are two in this diagram. One is
$$0\longrightarrow\ker f\overset{\kappa}\longrightarrow G\overset{\pi}\longrightarrow G/\ker f\longrightarrow 0\;.$$
Here $0$ is the trivial group, and the exactness of the sequence means that the range of each map is the kernel of the next. Since the range of the first map is just the identity in $\ker f$, $\kappa$ is an injection; it's actually just the inclusion map from $\ker f$ into the whole group $G$, so its range is $\ker f$ as a subgroup of $G$. This is then the kernel of the quotient map $\pi$. Finally, the range of $\pi$ must be the kernel of the last map, which means that $\pi$ is a surjection (which of course comes as no surprise!).
The other is $0\longrightarrow G/\ker f\overset{\iota}\longrightarrow H$; it says that $\iota$ is an isomorphism, because its kernel is the range of the first map, which is trivial, but it doesn't say that $\iota$ is a surjective isomorphism.
Then you have the commutative diagram:
$$\begin{array}{c}
&&G/\ker f&\\
&\pi\nearrow&&\searrow\iota\\
G&&\overset{f}\longrightarrow&&H
\end{array}$$
This is an assertion that $f=\iota\circ\pi$.
As it says in the accompanying discussion, from the existence of the homomorphism $f$ you can infer the existence of everything else in the diagram. For any interpretation beyond that you're getting into category theory, which I don't do.

A: The arrows from/to $0$ mean a homomorphism, just like the other arrows. Of course, to/from there is only one homomorphsim, so we know which one it is.
Moreover, the two diagonal sequences are supposed to be exact, that is the kernel of an imgae equals the image of the previous one. Thus for example $0\to A\to B$ means not more than that $A\to B$ is a monomorphism.

Rump Shaker is the second album of the third-wave ska band Suburban Legends. It was released June 28, 2003, in Los Angeles, California by Lobster Girl Records. The album initially sold 15,000 copies and was subsequently released on Brand New Hero Records in the UK.

It was produced by John Avila, former bassist of Oingo Boingo, one of the band's major influences. In 2005, when the band was featured as ManiaTV!'s Artist of the Day, Tim Maurer jokes of the experience, "We went to [Avila's] house. We strapped him down to a bed. We played our music in the CD player 20,000 times. We fed him only a diet of oatmeal and gruel. He agreed then to produce our album. And we paid him and we thanked him and it was fun. And it was good. And it was fun."

On January 1, 2011, the Western Carolina University Pride of the Mountains Marching Band performed the song "You" live on national television in the 2011 Tournament of Roses Parade.

Asbestos Records and Underground Communiqué Records set up and successfully crowdfunded a Kickstarter project in 2011, which allowed a re-release of Rump Shaker on vinyl in 2012 alongside The Pietasters' Oolooloo, Edna's Goldfish's Before You Knew Better, and Pilfers' self-titled album.

_Famous journalist sues Obama over HORRIFIC Homeland Battlefield Bill, aka NDAA, which eliminates due process for Americans in the new Soviet Gulag USA. In other words, more tyranny. And what's up with our latest love affair with Newt Gingrich? Plus, K-9 units prowling the light-rail trains in Portland, and our super-elite overlords meeting in Davos, Switzerland, to discuss, get this . . . the failure of capitalism and the need for a new financial system?!
_Our guest was Bev Harris of blackboxvoting.org. We discussed voting irregularities (900 dead people voted in recent elections in South Carolina; they smelled terrible!) and the problems with electronic, paperless voting. Plus a foreign company now controls the reporting of results for even local and state elections? No way! Sorry, way. The LA GOP moved the date of the Louisiana Republican caucus back a few months, so instead of being one of the first in the nation, Louisiana is one of the last. Huh?
This was a free-wheeling, fast-paced show. We looked at the "dangerous" policies of Ron Paul, the results of the Iowa caucuses . . . Newt Gingrich is a chicken! And Kelly Clarkson bumper music? Yup. Sorry about that.


order the right parts. ... order ********. The kit DRK***A bearings are the wrong size. Your system says it fits my truck **** Dodge **** *x* *.*L. I have the truck in pieces and pulled the front differential out and can read Timken JLM******. The kit DRK***G matches existing bearings with JLM****** in that kit. It is more expensive and I am ok with that. I need a return label for the DRK***A which says it fits my truck but it is wrong in your system. How do we proceed?
The parts listed for my truck do not work.
I did not open package, I just need a return label and the right kit.

UTEP hires Fresno State's Rodney Terry as their new basketball coach
Photo courtesy of Fresno State Athletics
Adrian Broaddus, Copy Editor
After a week filled with rumors of different names circling around for the coaching vacancy of the Miners, UTEP chose Fresno State head coach Rodney Terry to be its new head coach.
UTEP confirmed the hire on Monday afternoon with this statement from UTEP President Diana Natalicio:
"We are delighted to welcome Coach Terry to El Paso and we're excited about the future of UTEP Basketball under his leadership," Natalicio said. "He's enjoyed a very successful tenure as Fresno State's head coach, and he's well-known as an effective recruiter with deep ties to the Lone Star State. We look very much forward to bringing him back to Texas to usher in a new era of Miner Ball."
His introductory press conference is still pending, will probably be next week, but this is what Athletic Director Jim Senter said on Terry:
"We are very pleased to welcome Rodney Terry to the UTEP family," Senter said. "He's a great fit for us with his Texas connections and his proven track record as a coach and recruiter. He's a proven winner and will represent this proud program well."
Terry and Fresno State saw their season come to a close last Thursday in the Mountain West Tournament, losing to San Diego State. It was Terry's third 20-win season, going 21-11 this season.
He coached seven seasons with the Bulldogs and was 126-107 overall at the helm. Terry has taken the Bulldogs to one NCAA Tournament, one NIT appearance and one CBI finals.
Terry, who finished his seventh season with the Bulldogs in the Mountain West for 2017-18, is ready for his next move in El Paso.
"I'm super excited about an unbelievable opportunity at the University of Texas at El Paso," Terry said. "It's a program that has experienced a very high level of success and has a great basketball tradition that I'm looking forward to building upon."
The head coaching job for the Miners has been open for almost four months since Tim Floyd announced his retirement after a 1-5 start.
An interesting note, however, is Terry had a no buyout clause in his contract after signing an extension to keep in at Fresno State through 2021, according to Fresno State's athletics website. Mountain West Wire reported that Terry currently makes close to $650,000 at Fresno State, which is about $50,000 more than former coach Tim Floyd made at UTEP.
More notably is multiple reports said Terry believes he has taken Fresno State as far as he can.
Being born and raised in Angelton, Texas, Terry started his career in the Lone Star State, playing college ball at St. Edward's University in Austin, and then coaching as an assistant at Baylor (1996-98), UNC Wilmington (1998-02) and Texas (2002-11) prior to landing the head coaching position at Fresno State.
UTEP will hire Fresno State's Rodney Terry as its next head basketball coach, per multiple sources. Official announcement expected soon.

Almost 40% of members of the Czech Parliament (86 members of the Chamber of Deputies, the Lower Chamber of the Parliament, and 26 members of the Senate, the Upper Chamber) will compete in the upcoming regional elections that will be held on 7 and 8 October 2016. Some of the Members of the Parliament will run for regional governors. In 2014, regional governor of the South Moravian region Michal Hašek resigned from the position of the Member of the Parliament, because "the function of the regional governor is a full-time job", a recently published article/analysis by Grayling quotes his words. An argument against holding two positions at the same time, for example, is that the politicians at the national level would like to stay in touch with the people (at the regional and/or municipal level).
The Czech Radio published a set of interviews with all candidates (who agreed to participate) in the Senate elections to be held on 7-8 (1st round) and 14-15 October 2016 (2nd round). Six questions and a time limit to respond. Click here to listen to the interviews and view infographic data. The Czech Radio released a similar set of interviews with all candidates (who agreed to participate in this project) in regional elections.
According to the Czech News Agency, political parties have not changed their campaigning style much and there have been no big innovations. Read details in Czech.
Also, Transparency International Czech Republic published results of their monitoring of campaign financing. They used eight critaria of transparency and assessed openness of politicians/candidates in elections to disclose information about financing and other aspects of their election campaign and co-workers. TI estimates that the total cost of campaigning related to elections held in the Czech Republic in 2016 could amount to around 0.5 bn CZK. Read details (in Czech).
