Home/Business/Keep Bianchi production in Italy, urges letter from union
Bikes from the famous Italian bike brand, soon to be seen ridden by Jan Ullrich and his team-mates in the Tour de France, could be built abroad, claims a letter said to be from workers at the Bianchi factory in Treviglio. In a heartfelt open letter from the CGIL union, the workers are said to be asking Cycleurope to ditch any idea of shifting production away from Italy
Keep Bianchi production in Italy, urges letter from union
BikeBiz 3rd July 2003	Business
If Cycleurope A.B., the Swedish holding company of the Grimaldi Group, did shift some – or all – production away from Italy, they would join Look Bicycles who recently transferred their production of carbon-fibre frames and forks to Tunisia.
Bianchi has a 14 percent share of the Italian bicycle market, with half its output exported. It sells 450 000 bikes a year to 68 different countries.
Bianchi is marketed and sold by Cycleurope Italia with Bianchi International controlling the Bianchi trademark.
Cycleurope Italia's MD is Davide Brambilla and he is also the vice-president of Bianchi International. Bianchi was founded in 1895 by Edoardo Bianchi, a bike shop owner of Milan. It was acquired in 1997 by the Swedish group Cycleurope AB, headed by Tony Grimaldi.
There's no news from Cycleurope on its plans to switch production but Bianchi's workers are said to be up in arms:
"We believe riders all over the world will mourn the passing of this great brand. But it does not have to be this way," said the open letter, claimed to be from Bianchi workers, and sent by the CGIL Lombardia union.
Here's the rest of the letter:
We believe that one of the most important parts of the bicycle is the invisible story written on the back of the down-tube decal. To read it, eyes are not enough. You also need your heart.
A brand is not only a distinctive ensign, it is the heritage of a common history, it is the result of the hard work and commitment of all those who have worked to build it to greatness. To create products worthy of a great brand, people must work with their hands and their minds, and with their hearts too. So, we believe, it is not possible to remove a brand from its country, from the human landscape that created it. The Cycleurope group has now made a decision that will wrench the Bianchi brand from its country. From its people. The relocation of Bianchi production from Italy will make the managers of other companies in the Cycleurope group happy. After all, Bianchi may be the eternal envy of those who were never able to create a legendary brand like the golden eagle on its field of celeste. However, we are certain that Bianchi customers will be not happy. When you buy a Bianchi, you are not only buying a bicycle. When you decide to ride a Bianchi you are also making a commitment to the shared responsibility of representing with pride the bike used by Coppi, Gimondi, Argentin, Bugno and Pantani to write the milestones of cycling history. The bicycle built by Italian hands, the same hands that turn red with applause for the hero who challenges the Stelvio climb. That's why we Italians make bikes without equal in the world, because we look at the races with special eyes. The same eyes of the racer who can see his entire life in one race. This may be the reason why Bianchi bicycles made in Italy are legendary, and why riders all over the world try to become a little bit "more Italian" by riding a Specialissima made in Treviglio.
If Cycleurope doesn't change its decision, all this will be over. The Bianchi legend, and the proud Bianchi brand, will become only dust and useless history.

Can Scale LUH production to 60 per year: HAL
Published March 26, 2022 | By admin
Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd (HAL) is set to begin operations from the newly constructed helicopter plant at Biderehalla Kaval, Tumakuru district for the indigenously-developed light utility helicopters (LUHs), a 3-tonne category helicopter and plans to roll out the first 4 limited series production (LSP) LUH by March 2023 and another eight LSP LUHs by March 2024.
Chairman and Managing Director (CMD), HAL, R. Madhavan speaking to the media said that from 2024-25, the company will be able to manufacture 30 units per year when series production (SP) of the LUH starts but is also willing to scale the production line so that it can deliver 60 units per years if required.
The LUH is designed and developed as a replacement for the aging and accident-prone fleets of Cheetah and Chetak helicopters currently being flown by Indian armed forces. Initial requirement after the collapse of the Kamov Ka-226 deal with Russia means, the Indian Armed forces will have a requirement of 350-400 LUHs but with the current rate of production installed at the plant it will take over a decade to meet its Indian armed forces requirements.
idrw.org has been told by Industrial sources that the HAL has told Armed forces that the additional production capabilities can be gradually increased in two phases from 40 to 60 units per year by 2027-28 if the combined order exceeds the 300 unit mark.
HAL is also keen to explore the civilian market in the country for the LUH and already has signed an Intent of Cooperation with Pawan Hans Ltd for the future sale of 10 LUH. HAL estimates that the Military export and domestic Civilian market can bring in an additional sale of 100 orders for the LUH. HAL is also keen to bid on the Navy's 111 unit requirement for the naval utility helicopters (NUHs) for which it is ready to demonstrate a ship-borne LUH in near future.

Refuge for an American
23/07/2017 /in Achievements /by Canadian Immigration Lawyers
We assisted a woman in claiming for refuge status in Canada who was already a permanent resident in America. It was a complicated case as the woman was seeking protection against her home country. Her claim was difficult to be assessed in Canada as she was already in a safe country. We made extensive submissions to establish that she was a persecuted and traumatised person and need ed to be with her family which was settled in Canada. The Board conceded to our submissions and agreed that the family must be reunited. Her refuge claim was therefore approved. Today the woman had finally found a home and we are glad for assisting her.

Reunited a Family after long years of Wait Deep Regards for you Hard Work


Not visible from the street, this Davidsonville home offers splendid views of a bountiful orchard, mature woods and ample lawn as visitors ride up the long driveway. The first glimpse of the traditional brick-and-black-shuttered colonial, ensconced amongst lush landscaping, is striking. Abutting a nature preserve, the property appears even larger than its already significant two+ acres.
Its private setting combined with its location in a community known for fine homes made it truly special, concur both buying and selling representatives. "You'd have a hard time finding something like this in very many places," adds listing agent Margaret Woda, a realtor and associate broker with Long & Foster.
To fully enjoy the stunning setting, there's a 1,700-square-foot raised wood deck, which spans the entire back of the home and includes a hot tub and more beautiful views of the backyard. A tray-ceiling sunroom, bordered by trees, offers views of the front, side and back of the home. Built by NV Homes in 1999, the house features an open floor plan with a two-story family room and upstairs landing. Several of the rooms contain special shelving to display the museum-quality collections the previous owners acquired from around the world.
Other nice touches include chair railing and crown molding, a family room fireplace and a large unfinished basement. The countertops, carpeting and fixtures reflect its original 1999 style, so the new owners plan to extensively update the kitchen, flooring and paint, which should enhance the setting all the more.

With two busy military careers, a young and growing family, and a relocation to this area after several years stationed abroad, the right setting was critical for these buyers. "We [chose this home], first, because it was close to downtown, historic Annapolis. It's not quite off the beaten path, but it is quiet. And, one of the most important aspects was the quality and design of the house," says new homeowner Trey Jordan, a colonel in the U.S. Army.
Indeed, the newly constructed house, with its Craftsman-like influences (wide front porch, tapered square beams and enhanced siding), captures the charm and distinctive character of this bedroom community. A small custom builder, Chris Murchake of C.M. Homes, Inc., also built several other houses in the neighborhood and tries to maintain the old-school maritime look of Eastport while seamlessly incorporating high-end elements to appeal to today's families. Outside, for example, the rustic façade is actually durable HardiePlank siding and Azek trim, with neutral slate and stone on the patio.
Indoors, there's the same attention to detail: Elegant arches frame several rooms; rounded bullnose edges can be found on all the drywall; a coffered ceiling highlights the family room; flat, glass-paned pocket doors separate the living and dining rooms; a convenient laundry room is located on the second floor. The light-filled kitchen includes natural cherry cabinetry, neutral granite, a Sub-Zero refrigerator and Wolf stove.
The master bedroom has a dramatic cathedral ceiling and is accompanied by an equally striking master bathroom, with its frameless glass and stone sit-in shower, soaking tub, vivid granite, and oil-rubbed bronze fixtures and hardware for contrast. A fully finished basement includes a nanny suite, rec area and small wine cellar.
The community offers convenient and inexpensive water privileges just at the end of the road, with three docks, boat slips and a kayak area. Plus, the Chesapeake Bay Trust recently worked with the marina to create a "living shoreline," using regional stones, sand and grasses to safeguard against erosion and enrich the area for local wildlife (apparently, they appreciate the setting too).

Tastefully appointed home with lots of open space and nice features? Check. Coveted community with Blue Ribbon schools, pools, tennis courts and club house? Check. A welcoming and well-maintained front and backyard, complete with wooded lot and its own sport court? Check. Looks like this Millersville home meets all the requirements for an ideal setting.
The entrance opens to a two-story foyer with an elegant curved staircase and gleaming hardwood floors, leading to a main-level office/den with built-in bookshelves, formal living and dining rooms with decorative columns, chair rails and paint techniques, as well as a tiled sunroom with skylights.
Certainly, the most impressive area on the main floor revolves around the gourmet kitchen and accompanying great room. The granite/stainless steel/cherry wood kitchen has decorative backsplash detailing, a sitting area at the island, as well as a custom-built cherry table featuring banquette window seating looking onto the backyard. The great room's fireplace, with its neutral-toned, arched-brick hearth, mirrors the windows in the room, particularly a huge Palladian overlooking the deck. The master bedroom's sitting area includes French doors that open to a balcony above the great room, another unique touch.
The finished basement has a separate bedroom, rec area, wet bar and walkout to the back, which features a large sports court, set off with a manicured retaining wall, along with an adjustable basketball hoop.
Being local to the area, the new homeowners were familiar with the neighborhood's appeal and certainly were enamored with the huge, well-maintained home. It helped that it was freshly painted, with colors they enjoyed, and thus, this setting was move-in ready.

Using a wavelength-modulated quantum cascade laser to measure NO concentrations in the parts-per-billion range for vehicle emissions certification
W. H. Weber, J. T. Remillard, R. E. Chase, J. F. Richert, F. Capasso, C. Gmachl, A. L. Hutchinson, D. L. Sivco, J. N. Baillargeon, A. Y. Cho
Measurements of NO concentrations at sub-ppm levels in vehicle exhaust are needed for emissions certification of future ultra-low emission vehicles. We demonstrate a wavelength-modulation, laserbased, NO detection system suitable for this purpose. A quantum cascade distributed feedback laser (QC-DFB) operating continuous wave (cw) at ∼100 K is frequency modulated at f = 10 kHz and locked to the center of a transition at ∼1921 cm-1 in the fundamental band of NO. The demodulated signal at 2f of the beam passing through the sample cell directly measures the NO concentration. The cell is a multipass Herriott-type with a 100-m path length. Doppler broadening, pressure broadening, and unresolved A doubling combine to yield a pressure for optimum sensitivity of 100 tort and a modulation amplitude of ∼600 MHz. A flowing gas system is used to avoid problems with adsorption and desorption of NO from the cell walls. The reduced pressure eliminates interference from other gas species. Detection of NO concentrations in the few parts-per-billion (ppb) range is demonstrated in diluted exhaust-gas bag samples collected in the vehicle certification process.

We had not so many ladies as usual. The Sinclairs, three Misses Moore4 from Hopewell and Sally Caldwell.5 Miss Verina Moore did not come, nor any body from Wilmington but Mr Grier.6 We entertained the speaker Mr Eaton,7 Mr Grier, Mr Baker,8 Dr Caruthers,9 Mr Burwell,10 Mr Davis (Bank Davis), Mr Brevard Davidson11 – these were all that slept here but to all three meals we had a crowd. I begin quite to enjoy the company & the bustle & seeing so many people in their best clothes & having on their best looks & in their best humour.
Mrs Kerr's12 illness + Mrs Fishburnes13 death seemed to cast a damper over some of us, but we were en-couraged by hearing that she was better. The Doctor is more encouraged to day than he has been. Dr Whitehead14 leaves here this evening & Dr Gibbon15 is expected up. They all like the two Doctors exceedingly. I have felt all along that Mrs Kerr would not die, not simply because she had skilful physicians, but because so many prayers have been offered for her recovery and "the prayer of faith will save the sick" Kate16 has nursed her a great deal, but I have never seen her since the first day or so- I am afraid this disease is still in the atmosphere, I understand that one of Mrs Brown's17 sons was taken sick to day, but they have not sent for a physician.
Our black baby has been right sick, but he is getting well without any Doctor either.18 There seemed a large crowd here on Commence-ment day. The music (the band from Salisbury) was very fine, they did not play as much as they would have done, because it Mrs Kerr. I hear the speaking was all very good. Willie's I read and thought it would sound well, but Kate said he did not speak as well as on ordinary occasions. There was so much excitement about that time that the boy's got their minds distracted & did not do as well as usual. Mr Eaton's speech, your Father thought was first rate.
Sing has gone to Dr Morrisons19 – Dru is at the Caldwells or at Hopewell I don't know which. Willie is knocking about here. I wish we were all away from here now. Do write soon. Tell us what you heard of our Commencement.

Here at CHM Lending, we care deeply about each client and do everything we can do to avoid a Mortgage not closing, with that being said there is only so much we can do to prevent it from happening.
In efforts to avoid Mortgage "explosions" we have created the 5 "deadly sins" during the mortgage process.
Making any big purchases (car, furniture…ect).
Believe it or not significant debts such as a $15,000 auto loan will significantly add to your monthly expenses. The Underwriter could decide with your new monthly payment that you cannot afford a mortgage anymore and could deny your mortgage during the process.
Applying for a new credit card.
Whenever applying for a credit card lenders will do a hard inquiry on your credit and it will affect your score negatively. Did you know your credit can be pulled at any time during the mortgage process; any negative changes to your credit can risk the interest rate going up or the loan being denied before closing!
During the mortgage process we will verify your employment multiple times. Switching your job during the mortgage process will raise red-flags to the lender. Changing jobs could affect your income, payment structure, and work experience. This could result in the mortgage needing to be revised or DENIED!
Not Being Honest with your Loan Officer.
If you are not honest with your loan officer they will not be able to effectively shop for you and you may not qualify for certain programs that you thought you could. Underwriters will find any discrepancies during the process and will stop the process until they find the correct information.
Make a large cash deposit into your bank account other than your paycheck.
Mortgage lenders are required to document where all money going toward closing your loan is coming from. All funds used in the mortgage process need to be sourced and seasoned. Sourcing is finding out exactly where the money came from. Seasoning means that money has to be in a bank for a certain amount of time it usually 60 days or more. If you deposit a large amount of cash that is not sourced or seasoned the lender could need to find out exactly where the money came from and wait at least 60 days for the money to season.


You're probably familiar with honey and might even be a fan of bee pollenor royal jelly already, but do you know the other bee-derived ingredient that's known to have incredible health properties? I'm talking about bee propolis, also called "bee glue." What is propolis? It's a natural mixture produced by honey bees from a few things, including substances they collect from plants and trees.
This truly therapeutic substance not only guards beehives against intruders, but it can also fend off and treat all kinds of unwanted health conditions. Bee propolis has actually been used medicinally by humans since ancient times. This isn't surprising once you know that bee propolis benefits include it having antimicrobial, antioxidative, anti-ulcer and anti-tumor properties. (1) Let's look at why propolis may be your next bee product of choice.
One of my favorite bee propolis benefits is that it appears to possess anti-tumoral and anticancer properties. There are currently over 300 scientific studies and articles focusing on propolis and cancer treatment. Two propolis polyphenols in particular seem to be the most potent anti-tumor agents. They are caffeic acid phenethyl esters from poplar propolis and Artepillin C from Baccharis propolis. Scientists believe that the ability of propolis to prevent cancer from developing in both animal models and human cell cultures is likely the result of its ability to inhibit DNA synthesis in tumor cells as well as its capability to induce apoptosis (programmed cell death) of tumor cells.
Herpes simplex virus (HSV) infections are extremely common. HSV-1 is the main cause of herpes infections on the mouth and lips, which are commonly known as cold sores and fever blisters. The herpes virus can live dormant inside a person's immune system for a lifetime, periodically causing blisters that burst and turn into open cold sores or ulcers before healing. When left alone, herpes cold sores usually last about 10 to 14 days and are uncomfortable for a variety of reasons — causing redness, pain, burning and often embarrassment. HSV-1 can also cause genital herpes, but HSV-2 is the main cause of genital herpes.
The good news is that test tube studies have demonstrated that propolis can stop both HSV-1 and HSV-2 from reproducing. A study of people with genital herpes compared an ointment with propolis to Zovirax ointment, which is a common conventional treatment for genital herpes that lessens the symptoms of the infection. What did researchers find? The subjects using the propolis ointment had their lesions heal faster than those using the topical Zovirax ointment. Another study also revealed that a 3 percent propolis ointment can possibly reduce the pain and duration of cold sores. (8) This explains why many natural lip balms designed for cold sore and fever blister treatment contain propolis.
A pilot randomized controlled trial looked at the effects of propolis supplementation on women with infertility and mild endometriosis. The researchers found that taking bee propolis at a dose of 500 milligrams twice a day for six months resulted in a pregnancy rate of 60 percent compared to only 20 percent in the placebo group. (12) Studies have yet to show if propolis can also benefit infertile women without endometriosis.
Propolis extract, propolis tincture, propolis capsules, propolis tablets, propolis powder, propolis spray, propolis ointment and propolis cream are all typically available for purchase at any health food store as well as online.
If you're looking to take bee propolis internally, you have a lot of options, including a liquid extract, capsules, tablet or powder. If your health concern is in your mouth, like a sore throat, then a propolis spray is the way to go. If you're looking to use propolis externally or topically, you can buy propolis ointment or propolis cream.
The recommended internal dose of bee propolis is typically 500 milligrams once or twice daily. For topical propolis products, always follow label instructions.
Common Cold and Sore Throat: 500 milligrams one to two times per day.
Cold Sores: Apply propolis ointment to the cold sore four times per day.
Female Infertility and Endometriosis: 500 milligrams two times per day.
Yeast Infection: Apply an alcohol extract containing 2 grams per 25 milliliters four times per day.
Parasites: Consult a qualified healthcare practitioner on product and dosing.
People who are allergic to honey, bee pollen, royal jelly, conifer or poplar trees should not use propolis unless tested first by an allergy specialist.
Propolis may increase the risk of bleeding in people who take blood-thinning medications or who have bleeding disorders. Since propolis may slow blood clotting, you stop taking propolis at least two weeks before any scheduled surgery.
When it comes to parasitic infections like giardiasis, propolis should not be used as the only treatment for parasites without first consulting a physician.
If you have asthma, some experts advice avoiding propolis completely since it's believed that some chemicals in propolis may make asthma worse. However, there has also been research that demonstrates helpful effects of propolis for asthmatics. (14) If you have asthma, speak with your doctor before taking propolis.
If you're pregnant or breastfeeding, check with your health care provider before taking propolis. If you have any ongoing health concerns or are taking any medications, check with your doctor before using propolis.
Bee propolis has been serving honey bees and humans for centuries. While the honeybees use it to keep their hives hole and invader-free, humans use bee propolis both internally and externally for medicinal purposes.
Isn't it fascinating how bees can produce so many health-promoting things? Science is really showing just how valuable propolis is when it comes to our health. I'm talking everything from cancer to infertility to candida to the common cold. The list goes on, and I'm sure bee propolis will only continue to amaze us in the years and studies to come.

East Meet East Dating Site Review - Is this site worth it?
East Meet East Review – Is this dating site worth it?
An Asian dating site that is completely free for women? Gentleman, this is probably the best news you're going to hear all day. In our thorough and unbiased review of the dating site East Meet East, we're going to break down why this is awesome for you, and we're also going to walk you through everything that you need to know to decide whether this dating site is worth your time and your money.
Have you ever been to a bar that serves drinks to women? What do all these bars have in common? They are all packed with ladies! The fact that this site is offering free memberships to women means that it's going to attract a lot of women to the site (which in turn attracts a lot of men…smart move). During our review of East Meet East, this is one of the first things we noticed. The site has a great selection of single Asian women and men to choose from that is growing rapidly as the site is focusing heavily on expanding their presence through the US market. What do we mean when we say growing rapidly? We mean that the site is spending their own money to attract more, high-quality singles to add to the existing selection for you to meet.
Don't believe us and want to see for yourself? You can without ever pulling out your wallet or jumping through any crazy hoops. We were searching through potential matches and singles within about 45 seconds of getting onto the site for the first time! The site will let you see ALL of your potential matches in your area free of charge with no strings attached. They only want you to be an active member if the site is truly good for you.
Don't worry ladies; there's a lot for you to choose from at East Meet East as well that we'll cover in the Quality of Matches section below. If you're ready to find out what this dating site has to offer, buckle up and let's dive into our review. If you're just ready to try the site out, click our free trial button and ladies you'll automatically receive your 100% free account and gentlemen, you'll automatically be set up with your free trial account. Isn't technology awesome?
Thank the sweet Lord that the days of clunky and drawn out sign up processes are going out the window. Yes, a lot of sites do still have an extensive sign up "procedures", but East Meet East does not subscribe to that mantra. It took us no more than 30 seconds to get our account created, verified, and on to searching through all of the Asian singles on the site.
There was no requirement to upload a picture right away, fill out anything about yourself outside of your basic profile information (name, occupation, birthday, and email), or jump through any silly hoops that other sites will occasionally have you do.
The bottom line is that you can have your account created, verified, and start searching through Asian singles on East Meet East within a matter of minutes completely free of charge.
For those of you that are impatiently looking for the answer to this question (don't worry, we'd be impatient about it too), the answer is YES, East Meet East is loaded with lots of great single men and women to choose from. More importantly, the choices we flipped through seemed to be quality matches. We're referring to members that are active, have uploaded plenty of pictures, and have taken the time to fill out their profiles so you can get a good idea as to who they are and what they are looking for.
Specifically, what quality is to us will be different than what it is to you, but most of the accounts we looked at seemed to be going places with their lives, had goals, hobbies, and interests, and were "easy on the eyes" (pssst, this means they were attractive). Again, though, that will be up to you to decide.
The interesting part about this site is that this question doesn't even really matter because you can be searching through the single Asian matches in your area in under a minute completely free of charge. Why not take a few minutes and just look around for yourself?
If you flip through the blog of East Meet East, you'll see that they are constantly looking to improve the features and the user-friendliness of the site. This is a HUGE plus in our book. There's nothing that grinds our gears harder than a dating site that doesn't understand that real actual humans need to be able to utilize the site. If a dating site makes you want to bang your head against the wall, what's the point of using it? Thankfully, East Meet East did a spectacular job with their user interface.
Let's talk a few specifics about what has us so happy. First, it's simple. Yes, they do have some great features and some flashy bells and whistles we will talk about in the next section, but they did not go over the top. The developers seem to have a strong understanding of the purpose of the site. The purpose is for you to easily find other Asian singles, interact with them, get to know them, and hopefully get the chance to go on a date with them. East Meet East nailed this.
One of the most fun (and sometimes terrifying) parts of any of our reviews is taking a look at the specific features that the site offers. East Meet East has a lot of the same features you'd see at a traditional online dating site and a few things that are set up differently. Let's talk about some of these more important features.
The top bar of the site has all of your different options to help you navigate the site. If you are using the East Meet East app, you're going to have the exact same options.
Within the search area of East Meet East, you have the ability to sift through all of your matches in an east to manage way. You can start with the basic search options or click the filters button to open up the advanced search options which include things like body type, when they came to this country, interests, body type, etc. It's a pretty extensive list of options that should help you to be able to find exactly what it is that you are looking for.
This is something that might seem like a small feature, but it was one of our favorite aspects of our East Meet East review. When you're looking at someone's profile, you have the ability to hide that member. This means that you're no longer going to see this member on the site or in any of your searches. Our guess is this was originally designed to get rid of people that you'd already talked to, but it could also double as a great feature to hide people you aren't interested in. That way, when you search you won't have to sift through any of those people, and you'll only see the people you like and the new singles just joining the site.
Say cheese! Okay, that was a cheesy pun, but we couldn't help ourselves. East Meet East has a "flirt" function like you'll see on most sites across the web. The difference with theirs, though, is that it requires you to use "credits" also conveniently called your smiles to utilize them.
Before you get too upset that you don't have free reign to smile and flirt with everyone on the site, let's talk about why we think this is a positive. If people are able to blindly smile and flirt with everyone the site, every member is going to have hundreds and thousands of flirts coming in, and they won't carry any weight. But, if the singles on the site know that smiles are limited, they're going to carry much more weight. You do start your free account with 25 smiles, though.
Regarding support, East Meet East was pretty good, but didn't have a few contact options we would like to see. They currently have a contact form for support, a mailing address, and social media. The social media is a great one to see as a lot of online dating sites don't take the time to set up these easy modes of contact. Big plus there.
The only things that we would like to see added are an email option/address and possibly a live chat function. We aren't huge sticklers for the live chat function as it borders on "too good of customer service", but we really would like to see an email option for those of us that like to contact that way. All in all, though, nothing major and the customer support is more than sufficient. Honestly, you probably won't need it much because the site is constantly being upgraded to better suit the user.
If you're a woman, you can go right ahead and skip this section. Your membership is 100% free! This means you get access to all of the features of the site without having to open your purse, wallet, clutch, or whatever creative devices you have to carry your money around.
Men, as usual, it will cost a few bucks to find your dream Asian mate but thankfully only a few. The pricing for East Meet East can be a little confusing at first, but it appears to be set up in a way that allows you to get exactly what it is that you are looking for.
First, you have your East Meet East premium membership. There are no membership levels on the site which means that each of these memberships comes with all of the bells and whistles.
275 Coins per month – (These are used to send first time direct messages that jump you to the front of the message line and message 100 new members each month). These look to be replenished every single month and do not need to be used after the first message has been sent.
The monthly membership is all that you need to fully enjoy the site. IF you want to get more coins or smiles while on the site, you can do that. You will get more every month that your membership renews, but here are the prices in case you are dying to message someone new and somehow have gotten through all of your coins and smiles.
** It's important to note that again this might seem like a negative to have limited ability to send some of these direct messages, but it's actually pretty nice. It's a great check and balance to keep your inbox from getting spammed with tons and tons of pointless cookie cutter messages that don't do you any good or help you to find that special someone. In all reality, unless you're dedicating 24 hours a day to online dating, you won't ever need to purchase extra credits.
Is East Meet East worth it?
If you're looking for a great group of Asian singles to meet and find that special someone, this site is definitely worth it. They have a great product at a great price that is easy to use and a site that is exploding with new high-quality singles to meet. If you're not looking for Asian singles, this site is not for you. There are some niche sites that really just cater to everyone, but this site is fairly specific to Asian singles which is awesome.
In reality, though, you have nothing to lose as a man or a woman giving this site a try. If you're a woman, its 100% free so why not join. If you're a man, you can create an account in under 30 seconds and see all the available matches without ever upgrading your account. If you don't see anything you like, move along. If you do, though, you can upgrade your account and get to chatting! It's a win-win and will only take you a few minutes to check out and see.
If you're ready to give it a try, click the free trial button below and ladies you will automatically receive your free account and gentleman, you will automatically be credited with your free trial. No coupon code needed at all or anything like that. Hooray technology!
Good luck out there and take a chance today; you never know what you might find!


New changing and toilet facilities to help people with disabilities have been unveiled at County Hall in Maidstone.
More than 250,000 people in Kent have a disability which limits their day-to-day activities.
Graham Gibbens, KCC's cabinet member for adult social care and public health said: "I am really delighted a changing places facility is now available to the public in County Hall.
The changing place features a plaque honouring Steven Kissock, a member of the Dover District Partnership Group. Up until his death in 2016, he campaigned tirelessly for better facilities for people living with disabilities in the county.
The facility was unveiled on Friday, July 20 by Mr Gibbens, Mick Cronin, chairman of the Keeping Safe Delivery Group, and Sue Bartley, Mr Kissock's sister.
People with profound and multiple learning disabilities, as well as people with other physical disabilities often need extra equipment and space to allow them to use the toilets safely and comfortably. These needs are met by changing place toilets.
It is hoped the addition will encourage people with disabilities and their carers to visit Maidstone in confidence, knowing adequate facilities are available.
The changing place was funded through KCC's Good Day Programme. This initiative aims to empower people with learning disabilities to choose what they want to do, access support and feel equal as citizens in their local community.
The facility is located behind reception on the ground floor of Sessions House at County Hall in Maidstone, ME14 1XQ. It is wheelchair accessible and includes a height-adjustable adult-sized changing bench, hoist and a non-slip floor. It is available to the public from 8am to 5pm, Mondays to Fridays.
For further information about the Kent County Council Communications Office contact David Gazet on 03000 422589 or email david.gazet@kent.gov.uk.
People can need changing places because of a variety of factors including those with severe learning disabilities, muscular dystrophy and muscle wasting conditions, stroke, multiple sclerosis, motor neurone disease.
The first changing places in Kent are believed to have been opened in 2007 at Bluewater after a campaign by the North Kent Independent Advocacy Scheme.
Across the UK, there are more than 1,100 changing places. There are currently more than 30 registered throughout Kent. A comprehensive map is available at www.changing-places.org. For advice and information about the Good Day Programme, email the team at gooddayprogramme@kent.gov.uk.
There is currently no legal duty for the owners of publicly accessible buildings to provide a changing places toilet. Building regulations require only standard accessible toilets. Therefore, they are not always provided as a matter of course.
Guidance called the British Standard 8300 recommends they be included in larger buildings and complexes such as town halls, motorway services, sports stadiums, shopping centres, airports, hospitals and schools.

112-116 Tooley Street,&nbspLondon,&nbspSE1 2TH,
Harden's says
The seventh branch of the popular, growing steak chain.
"They put the price up from £10 to £11, but it still can't be faulted!" – for a "a great steak, without any frills" this "always busy, lively and buzzy" chain remains "a winning formula": "it's so nice to have a simple menu choice, and what they do, they do very well"; this includes the very impressively "friendly and professional service-with-a-smile". One catch: "you have to put up with no bookings", so "be prepared to queue". But "if you want a great meal on a budget: go visit!"
"If steak 'n' chips is what you want, then it's hard to beat", this "simple, yet very effective" small chain, which is "all about doing just one thing and doing it right": "superbly cooked" meat from a "limited choice" of cuts (majoring in the 'flat iron' itself) plus salad, "no starters or dessert, but a free ice cream cone as you leave". "A simple set up", it inspired "no complaints" this year, even if – with expansion, including a new King's Cross branch – ratings are not quite as exciting as once they were.
"If you are only going to do one thing, do it well ...and they do!" Charlie Carroll's small chain offers "a limited menu but a great piece of steak" (plus a veggie alternative), which is "simply and perfectly cooked" and "free homemade ice cream is a lovely surprise" to finish. "You don't go for an intimate meal, but service is straightforward and effective". (Expect more expansion, as he just raised £10m from Piper private equity to grow the brand.)

The BBC and national identity in Britain, 1922–53
Series: Studies in Popular Culture
Thomas Hajkowski
Examining the ways in which the BBC constructed and disseminated British national identity during the second quarter of the twentieth century, this book focuses in a comprehensive way on how the BBC, through its radio programmes, tried to represent what it meant to be British. It offers a revision of histories of regional broadcasting in Britain that interpret it as a form of cultural imperialism. The regional organisation of the BBC, and the news and creative programming designed specifically for regional listeners, reinforced the cultural and historical distinctiveness of Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. The BBC anticipated, and perhaps encouraged, the development of the hybrid 'dual identities' characteristic of contemporary Britain.
This chapter presents an introduction on the BBC's treatment of two national, integrative, 'British' institutions, the empire and the monarchy. It demonstrates the extent to which the BBC championed the British imperial ideal in its programmes, and constructed the monarchy as a guarantor of a peculiarly British individualism, freedom and pluralism. The BBC's focus on empire and monarchy to represent British national identity was neither innovative nor risky; the BBC did not try to change fundamental ideas of what it meant to be British, but it did help to refashion these traditional symbols of Britishness during a period of significant social and political change. Furthermore, this chapter turns to the work of the BBC in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, and examines the tensions between the BBC's efforts to project a uniform Britishness and its commitment to local and regional broadcasting in these areas.
in The BBC and national identity in Britain, 1922–53
"Jolly proud you are a Britisher"
Empire and identity, 1923–39
This chapter examines the key role of the BBC in fostering a culture of imperialism from the 1920s to the eve of the Second World War. The broadcast of The Four Feathers revealed several aspects of the BBC's relationship to empire and imperialism during the period from its inception in the early 1920s to the Second World War. The reach and potential influence of the BBC suggests that the empire remained important to British national identity in the 1950s, even after the first wave of decolonization. The extent and range of programmes that had empire as their subject matter were considerable such as Empire Vaudeville and Radio Times. From its inception, the BBC acted as an agent to promote the empire among its audience. When war came in 1939, the empire figured prominently in the BBC's programming. As the war progressed the BBC devoted a remarkable amount of time in its schedules to promoting the empire.
From the war to Westminster Abbey
The BBC and the empire, 1939–53
This chapter highlights the fact that the BBC's representation of empire during the Second World War is both challenging and revealing. Consistent with its policies from the 1930s, the BBC broadcasted a considerable number of empire programmes. But during the war, the empire and Commonwealth had to be constructed with even greater deliberation and precision. The BBC continued to employ the empire as a symbol of British unity and common effort. The themes of the benevolence of British rule and imperial unity, well established in the programmes of the 1930s, continued during the war. Three aspects of the BBC's projection of empire during the period 1939–53 are that, first, empire programmes during and after the war emphasized the full equality of the Commonwealth, second, the BBC promoted an image of empire that could accommodate itself to declared war aims and third, progressive themes such as the Commonwealth ideal of brotherhood and the 'professional empire' continued after war, but the mid-1940s also saw a revival, in broadcasting, of rousing and racist juvenile imperial fiction.
The BBC and the making of a multi-national monarchy
This chapter argues that the BBC played a pivotal role in helping to remake the monarchy into a symbol of British diversity. The BBC presented the coronations of George VI and Elizabeth II as celebrations of Britain's multi-national make-up. Each of the BBC's regions carried its own special coronation programmes, and the regional networks covered royal visits to Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland extensively. Each region related to the monarchy in its own way, and the BBC persistently pointed out the multi-national nature of the monarchy. The monarchy and the BBC found their relationship mutually beneficial. George V and other royal broadcasters gave radio a legitimacy it was lacking in the early years of broadcasting. The BBC, in turn, helped maintain the popularity of the monarchy by providing it with a powerful new means of communication. The BBC projected the monarchy as an apt representation of the diversity of Great Britain and the British Empire and framed monarchy as an ideal that united Britons under the umbrella of Britishness, but also respected other national, regional and local identities.
Rethinking regional broadcasting in Britain, 1922–53
This chapter offers an introduction and reconsideration of regional broadcasting in Britain. As part of this effort, it examines an important, but overlooked, aspect of broadcasting history and regional broadcasting during the Second World War. For, although the BBC suspended its regional networks during the war, regional programmes continued to be made and broadcasted on the home service and forces programme, which is a completely ignored part of the broadcasting history. Another example of English disregard for the Scots, Welsh and Irish, wartime regional broadcasting saw the BBC, for the first time, project a truly multi-national image of Britain as regional productions had to be carried by the one of the two national networks.
Broadcasting a nation
The BBC and national identity in Scotland
This chapter develops the arguments in the context of Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland, respectively. Scottish broadcasting was most self-confident and mature. From its inception, large number Scots staffed BBC Scotland. By comparison with the other regions, Scottish broadcasting was well funded and effectively led from the mid-1930s by its dynamic Programme Director, Andrew Stewart. Scottish broadcasting also strove to be effectively Scottish in content; it reflected politics, society and Scottish life, and in short, the culture of Scotland. One of the challenges of discussing the history of BBC Scotland and its role in constructing and reinforcing Scottishness is the paucity of historical work on radio broadcasting in Scotland. Moreover, periodic conflict with London highlights the history of Scottish broadcasting. Although in many ways the most accomplished of the BBC regions, Scottish broadcasters were also quick to take offense at perceived slights. A common complaint was the use of 'English' when 'British' would have been a more accurate adjective.
BBC broadcasting in Wales, 1922–53
This chapter considers BBC broadcasting in Wales. Wales was not a region but a nation, though it lacked an identity. The study of broadcasting and national identity in Wales poses several problems unique to the principality. For one, the region of Wales in the BBC was not established until 1937. Further, Wales was divided by language and culture in ways quite different from Scotland. The traditional, rustic way of life of north Wales was quite distinct from the highly industrialized, urban, and anglophone culture of south Wales. On the one hand, the Welsh region had to battle with the BBC's Head Office in London over programmes, scheduling, hours of operation, and the use of the Welsh language and on the other hand, BBC radio in Wales was never Welsh enough to satisfy the Welsh nationalists, who demanded more Welsh-language programmes and eventually an independent broadcasting system for Wales. Defining a unitary 'Wales' and Welsh identity, while also struggling for autonomy from BBC Head Office, proved to be a challenge for Welsh broadcasters.
This Is Northern Ireland
Regional broadcasting and identity in "Ulster"
This chapter focuses on the BBC in Northern Ireland. Broadcasting in Northern Ireland was quite distinct from broadcasting in Scotland or Wales. The sectarian divide between Catholic and Protestant inevitably dominated BBC policy in Northern Ireland. Yet, despite the neutrality with which Northern Irish broadcasters sought to conduct themselves, the BBC in Northern Ireland strove to forge an 'Ulster' identity for the region. 'Ulster' represented an organic, primeval community, based on geography and history. Although the whole purpose of 'Ulster' identity was to represent the differences between Northern Ireland and the Irish Free State in a way that minimized the role of religion, it was, de facto, a Protestant identity. In addition to this state-building function, the BBC in Northern Ireland represented a vital link to the rest of the Britain. Small and peripheral, Northern Ireland needed the BBC to reaffirm its Britishness as well as its regional identity. Indeed, the BBC itself became one of those institutions through which the Northern Irish Protestants could recognize their British national identity.
The BBC played a special role in society and was distinct because of its status as a public service corporation; its nature and purpose were intimately bound to the idea of the nation and rooted in its history of projecting and preserving national culture. From its founding in 1922 until its monopoly was broken in 1954, the BBC was the central site in Britain where national identity was produced, projected and contested. The BBC's national networks, the pre-war National Programme and the post-war Light Programme, reached nearly every corner of the British Isles. Empire programmes reminded Britons of their shared heritage and destiny. The BBC continues to serve the national interests at all points, throughout the wide range of every diverse activity and the enjoyment which broadcasting can reflect and rouse. It remains responsible for overseas services, which broadcast to the world on behalf of Britain.

[WikiPedia] U2 are an Irish rock band from Dublin, formed in 1976. The group consists of Bono (lead vocals and rhythm guitar), the Edge (lead guitar, keyboards, and backing vocals), Adam Clayton (bass guitar), and Larry Mullen Jr. (drums and percussion). Initially rooted in post-punk, U2's musical style has evolved throughout their career, yet has maintained an anthemic quality built on Bono's expressive vocals and the Edge's chiming, effects-based guitar sounds. Their lyrics, often embellished with spiritual imagery, focus on personal and sociopolitical themes. Popular for their live performances, the group have staged several ambitious and elaborate tours over their career. The band was formed when the members were teenaged pupils of Mount Temple Comprehensive School and had limited musical proficiency. Within four years, they signed with Island Records and released their debut album, Boy (1980). Subsequent work such as their first UK number-one album, War (1983), and the singles "Sunday Bloody Sunday" and "Pride (In the Name of Love)" helped establish U2's reputation as a politically and socially conscious group. By the mid-1980s, they had become renowned globally for their live act, highlighted by their performance at Live Aid in 1985. The group's fifth album, The Joshua Tree (1987), made them international superstars and was their greatest critical and commercial success. Topping music charts around the world, it produced their only number-one singles in the US to date: "With or Without You" and "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For". Facing creative stagnation and a backlash to their documentary/double album, Rattle and Hum (1988), U2 reinvented themselves in the 1990s. Beginning with their acclaimed seventh album, Achtung Baby (1991), and the multimedia-intensive Zoo TV Tour, the band pursued a new musical direction influenced by alternative rock, electronic dance music, and industrial music, and they embraced a more ironic, flippant image. This experimentation continued through their ninth album, Pop (1997), and the PopMart Tour, which were mixed successes. U2 regained critical and commercial favour with the records All That You Can't Leave Behind (2000) and How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb (2004), which established a more conventional, mainstream sound for the group. Their U2 360° Tour of 2009–2011 set records for the highest-attended and highest-grossing concert tour, both of which were surpassed in 2019. The group most recently released the companion albums Songs of Innocence (2014) and Songs of Experience (2017), the former of which received criticism for its pervasive, no-cost release through the iTunes Store. U2 have released 14 studio albums and are one of the world's best-selling music artists, having sold an estimated 150–170 million records worldwide. They have won 22 Grammy Awards, more than any other band, and in 2005, they were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in their first year of eligibility. Rolling Stone ranked U2 at number 22 on its list of the "100 Greatest Artists of All Time". Throughout their career, as a band and as individuals, they have campaigned for human rights and social justice causes, including Amnesty International, Jubilee 2000, the ONE/DATA campaigns, Product Red, War Child, and Music Rising.

ACE Inhibitor Blunts Exercise Benefit in Pulmonary Rehab
Damian McNamara
SAN FRANCISCO — For patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), the addition of the ACE inhibitor enalapril to pulmonary rehabilitation does not significantly improve outcomes and, in fact, reduces response to exercise therapy, according to a randomized, double-blind, multicenter trial.
"Whereas the placebo group managed to increase peak power compared with their baseline, the ACE inhibitor group did not," said Michael Polkey, PhD, from Imperial College London in the United Kingdom.
Dr Polkey was involved in a previous study of 80 COPD patients that showed no significant differences in quadriceps strength, endurance, or incremental shuttle walk distance between patients taking the ACE inhibitor fosinopril and those taking placebo (Chest. 2014;146:932-940).
So why try again? "We know pulmonary rehabilitation is highly effective, but in general, most benefits are considered lost at 12 to 18 months. There certainly is a place for adjunct therapy to extend the benefits, especially for a drug that is safe and cheap," Dr Polkey said here at the American Thoracic Society 2016 International Conference.
ACE inhibitors and ARBS are widely used in the treatment of heart failure and high blood pressure; it would be very appealing if these were useful for muscle training.
"ACE inhibitors and ARBS are widely used in the treatment of heart failure and high blood pressure; it would be very appealing if these were useful for muscle training as well," he explained.
The fact that the renin–angiotensin system is a key determinant of muscle phenotype, partly through glucose handling and insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-1 signaling, is further rationale for the study.
Dr Polkey and his colleagues evaluated 78 patients with moderate to severe COPD (GOLD stage II to IV) who were breathless enough to require pulmonary rehabilitation. All patients participated in an 8-week pulmonary rehabilitation program and were concurrently randomized to enalapril or placebo for 10 weeks.
The study was completed by 31 patients in the enalapril group and 34 patients in the placebo group.
Improvement in peak exercise capacity from baseline, the primary outcome, was significantly worse in the enalapril group than in the placebo group (P < .001). There were no significant differences between the two groups in any of the secondary outcomes, such as physical activity levels, quadriceps strength, or health-related quality of life.
ACE inhibitors actually blunt the response to pulmonary rehabilitation.
"Contrary to what we hypothesized, we found that ACE inhibitors actually blunt the response to pulmonary rehabilitation," Dr Polkey reported. "We speculated that a mechanism behind muscle training, angiogenesis, might be involved. Since ACE inhibitors block angiogenesis, we wonder if that could be why it doesn't work."
There were no significant differences in the rate of pulmonary exacerbation or other adverse events.
Blood pressure and levels of serum angiotensin-converting enzyme were lower in the enalapril group than in the placebo group, "which is reassuring," Dr Polkey said.
On the basis of these results, there is no reason to stop ACE inhibitors in patients with a pre-existing clinical indication. "We don't want to suggest patients stop an ACE inhibitor for other reasons, but we certainly cannot endorse them," he explained.
This is a "well-done study," in line with the previous work by Dr Polkey's team, which also had a negative result, said session moderator Thierry Troosters, PhD, from the Catholic University of Leuven in Belgium.
"It's interesting for the rehabilitation population. For patients on an ACE inhibitor, we may have to provide training differently," he told Medscape Medical News. "These patients may have to work harder to see the same effect."
Does Dose Matter?
Dr Polkey was asked by a member of the audience whether a different dose of ACE inhibitor could have made a difference. "We managed to reduce the blood pressure, so I think we chose the right dosage," he replied.
But Dr Troosters suggested that the dose of enalapril for blood pressure reduction might not be the optimal dose to improve pulmonary rehabilitation. The situation could be similar to aspirin, he explained, where a higher dose can address pain and a lower dose can confer cardioprotective benefits.
Dr Polkey said he has no plans to conduct a third trial of ACE inhibitor adjunct therapy in this population.
Dr Polkey and Dr Troosters have disclosed no relevant financial relationships.

Argyll (car)
Argyll was a Scottish motor car marque manufactured from 1899 to 1932, and again from 1976 to around 1990.

2 The second Argyll era
The original Argyll marqueEdit
Alex Govan founded The Hozier Engineering Company in 1899, and it was at this factory that the first Argyll Voiturette was produced; copied from the contemporary Renault, it featured a 2¾ hp de Dion engine and shaft-drive. 1901 models had an upgraded engine of 5 hp; cars made in 1902 were upgraded even further, using 8 hp units. Soon there appeared a 10 hp twin with radiator tubes forming the sides of the hood; in 1904 the company introduced a range of front-radiatored Aster-engined cars. One of these was a 10 hp of 1985 cc; others were fours of 3054 cc, 3686 cc, and 4849 cc. All cars featured Govan's rather awkward gearbox, which had a T-shaped gate and separate reverse and change-speed levers. The company, by now named Argyll Motors Ltd. had now become Scotland's biggest marque and soon moved from its premises in Bridgeton, Glasgow to a grand, purpose-built factory in Alexandria, West Dunbartonshire. The Argyll Motor Works covered 12 acres (4.9 ha), had its own railway line, and was opened in 1906 by John Douglas-Scott-Montagu, 2nd Baron Montagu of Beaulieu.[1] However, the new factory was never used to capacity, and the company began to decline after Govan's death in 1907. It went into liquidation in 1908.
Production restarted in 1910, under a company now named Argyll Ltd., with a new range of cars including the famed "Flying Fifteen", and a six-cylinder model. The 12/14 was widely sold as a taxi even being exported to New York. Four-wheel brakes designed by J.M. Rubury of Argyll[2] and patented on 18 March 1910 by Henri Perrot and John Meredith Rubury (Patent number 6807) [3] were available from 1911 on, and in 1912 the single Sleeve valve engine designed by company director Baillie P. Burt and J. P. McCollum began production; the entire range featured Burt-McCollum engines by 1914.
Argyll changed hands in 1914 and the Alexandria factory was sold to the Royal Navy for torpedo production. Car production was resumed on a small scale in the original Bridgeton works under the control of John Brimlow who had previously run the repair department. The first product from the new company was a revival of the pre-war 15·9 hp model, now with electric starter but few were sold. In 1922 it was joined by a 1½-litre sleeve valve model and in 1926 by the 12/40 sports.
The company made a final appearance at the London Motor Show in 1927 and the last cars were probably made in 1928 though still advertised until Argyll closed in 1932.
The second Argyll eraEdit
The Argyll turbo GT prototype
The name was re-used in 1976 by a new company who made a mid-engined sports car, the Argyll GT in Lochgilphead, Scotland.
The new manufacturing company was founded by Bob Henderson. The new car was named after the original Argyll of 1898, in honour of a grandfather of one of the investors who worked in the Argyll factory at Alexandria.
The only model was the mid-engined Argyll GT (or "Turbo GT"), which was based on a sturdy box section chassis with space frame[4] clothed in a fibreglass bodyshell made next door to the old Arrol-Johnston factory in Dumfries by Solway Marine. The 1976 prototype car featured a turbocharged Rover V8 engine. A version with a turbocharged Saab engine was also mooted, but none were built. The suspension came from the Triumph 2500 and the gearbox was a ZF 5-speed unit. By undoing ten bolts, the entire rear end, suspension, gearbox and engine came away.
A production version of the car, which made its debut in 1983, had a non-turbocharged version of the Douvrin Euro V6 as used by Renault, Peugeot and others, together with a Renault 30 transaxle. A turbocharged V8 of 3.5 - 4.2 litres, together with the ZF transmission, was an option, but none were built. Other engine options were the Lancia Beta engine and transmission, and a Buick V6 which had started out as a stillborn Indycar engine. A top speed of 160 mph (ca. 260 km/h) with the turbo V8 was claimed but never ratified.[5] The quoted price at launch was £25-30,000, which was comparable to the contemporary Ferrari 308 GTB. Production capacity was stated to be twelve cars a year, but none were sold. The silver version used for the launch and publicity material belonged to the company accountant and was virtually never driven.

'The Invisible Man' Will Make 'The Haunting of Hill House' Star Oliver Jackson-Cohen Disappear
Oliver Jackson-Cohen is about to get transparent for The Invisible Man. The Haunting of Hill House star has landed the titular role in Blumhouse's horror reboot, which also stars Elisabeth Moss. Leigh Whannel is directing this new take on the tale, which subverts the original story about a mad scientist who ends up turning himself invisible.
THR says Oliver Jackson-Cohen, who played the troubled Luke on Netflix's The Haunting of Hill House, is the new Invisible Man. Elisabeth Moss, Aldis Hodge, Harriet Dyer and Storm Reid also star. And while Jackson-Cohen is the one turning invisible, he's not the lead character here. Instead, the film is told from the perspective of Moss's Cecilia, "who receives the news of her abusive ex-boyfriend's suicide. She begins to re-build her life for the better, but her sense of reality is put into question when she begins to suspect her deceased lover is not actually dead."
Jackson-Cohen is playing that ex-boyfriend, and as that synopsis suggests, rumors of his death are greatly exaggerated, and he's still lurking about…unseen. "Part of the reason why I wanted to do it is I actually felt like it was a really feminist story of female empowerment and a victim kind of overcoming something," Elisabeth Moss said in a previous interview. "I don't even know what I'm allowed to say about it! I'm not The Invisible Man, but there is an Invisible Man — if that makes any sense."
While The Invisible Man is being distributed by Universal, it's not part of their disastrous Dark Universe franchise, which planned to reboot a bunch of classic Universal Monsters for the modern era. That plan instantly fell apart with The Mummy, a movie absolutely no one liked. At first, it looked like Universal might try to soldier on with Bride of Frankenstein, but pre-production on that film was shut down, and the Dark Universe is dead. Now, Universal will try something different, focusing on individual films rather than big connected universes – and honestly, that's the best way to go.
Director Leigh Whannel wrote scripts for Saw, Insidious and more, and directed the kick-ass horror/sci-fi flick Upgrade. I'm excited to see what he does with this material, and have no doubt we're in for something special.

Candidate For Governor Calls On Katie Hobbs To Step Down And For A Full Investigation
in Politics, SHOW NOTES
Former U.S. Rep. Matt Salmon, who is running in the Republican primary for Arizona governor, explains why the Maricopa County election audit was so significant.
"We learned from the audit Friday that the system was connected to the Internet… and we also learned that the county failed to take some of the most basic cybersecurity precautions… In fact, the secretary of state, who's our chief elections officer, they didn't even adhere to the most basic cybersecurity requirements. They used the same password for all accounts… and they would let people anonymously attach to the Internet from remote locations. So it's clear that this election was very very compromised…. As a result of that, I'm calling on the chief election officer of the state, Katie Hobbs, to step down."
