Hello all! Allow me to introduce myself; my name is Heath and I am a likeable fellow.
I am a gentle soul who enjoys and finds comfort in human companionship. Spending time lying next to (or across) a willing participant is one of my favorite things. Playing with small felt mice and similar items is another, which allows me to exercise my playful spirit.
Perhaps you have other pets in your household. Well, that shouldn't be a problem if they are relatively easygoing and not overbearing. I believe I would also be okay with gentle children older than toddler age.
If you think I would be a good fit for your home, please make a reservation to come meet me at the Java Cats Café Meowietta cat lounge! I have been neutered and microchipped and am up to date on all my vaccinations.

Mechanical response of hybrid laminated polymer nanocomposite structures: a multilevel numerical analysis
S.K. Georgantzinos, Konstantinos P. Stamoulis, S.I. Markolefas
The prediction of mechanical elastic response of laminated hybrid polymer composites with basic carbon nanostructure, that is carbon nanotubes and graphene, inclusions has gained importance in many advanced industries like aerospace and automotive. For this purpose, in the current work, a hierarchical, four-stage, multilevel framework is established, starting from the nanoscale, up to the laminated hybrid composites. The proposed methodology starts with the evaluation of the mechanical properties of carbon nanostructure inclusions, at the nanoscale, using advanced 3D spring-based finite element models. The nanoinclusions are considered to be embedded randomly in the matrix material, and the Halpin-Tsai model is used in order to compute the average properties of the hybrid matrix at the lamina micromechanics level. Then, the standard Halpin-Tsai equations are employed to establish the orthotropic elastic properties of the unidirectional carbon fiber composite at the lamina macromechanics level. Finally, the lamination theory is implemented in order to establish the macroscopic force-strain and moment-curvature relations at the laminate level. The elastic mechanical properties of specific composite configurations and their performance in different mechanical tests are evaluated using finite element analysis and are found to considerably increase with the nanomaterial volume fraction increase for values up to 0.5. Further, the hybrid composite structures with graphene inclusions demonstrate better mechanical performance as compared to the identical structures with CNT inclusions. Comparisons with theoretical or other numerical techniques, where it is possible, demonstrate the accuracy of the proposed technique.

Second chase of the 2008 season. The expectation was for a cluster of supercells after dark, with the threat of tornadoes. The supercell cluster verified, but the tornado threat was a little slow to develop.
View to the west from Anadarko of the southern supercell just after sunset. I was working midnight shifts as did not wake up until ~6 pm to leave with Daphne and the kids.

North Korean defectors: What happens when they get to the South?
By Woodfield Manor Last updated Mar 21, 2021
For Kim Ji-young, arriving in South Korea at the age of 31 after an arduous escape from the North "was like a dream".
But her joy at arriving in the prosperous South in March 2013 alongside her mother and three cousins soon gave way to a difficult adjustment period.
Every day brought new challenges and the family knew no-one. "There were many cultural differences… we had to start all over again," she says.
Ms Kim is one of thousands of defectors who have managed to escape life in the isolated dictatorship. But for those who've fled, their resettlement in the South is only the beginning.
Many have to learn the basics of life in a high-tech, democratic society – from using a bank card to understanding how representative government works.
What happens when they arrive?
Initially, defectors go through a period of investigation and a debrief with the intelligence service.
"Then there's three months at an institution called Hanawon, a resettlement education facility run by the South Korean government," says Sokeel Park, South Korea country director of Liberty in North Korea.
"It's a three-month school where they learn various things about South Korean society: how to use an ATM machine and South Korea's modern transport infrastructure and how to get a job. They learn various things about South Korean citizenship, democracy and differences."
There are also community centres that provide resources for resettled refugees. They tend to focus on this period, helping defectors get set up with mobile phones and a bank account as well as getting acquainted with their local community.
After Hanawon, defectors are assigned a public rental home. Ms Kim was left with a box of food – ramen, rice, oil and condiments – to last for the first few days:
A counsellor or a defector who has already settled helps clean the house and provides additional support.
"Then they have to live their own lives," she says.
Who looks out for them?
North Koreans who settle in South Korea are assigned a police officer who keeps an eye on them. "You can think of it as being assigned a local friendly bobby who checks in every now and then," says Mr Park.
"Sometimes they become friends . They're typically older officers, more of a father figure. Their role is to check in – almost like a social service."
The officers sometimes work in tandem with associations or churches.

The iPad mini when compared to the iPad is 23 percent thinner and 53 percent lighter. The dimensions of the device are 7.87 inches x 5.3 inches x 0.28 (HxWxD) and it weighs 0.68 pounds. This allows for it to be used one-handed and held for long periods of time without discomfort.
The iPad mini delivers what it promises, all the while retaining Apple's vital app ecosystem edge.
The iPad mini has upgraded with the addition of a front-facing FaceTime HD camera. Previous versions of the iPad only had a front-facing VGA camera. Another change for the iPad mini is that it has Apple's new lightning connector. Which unfortunately means that if you have the older Apple connectors you will have to get the new ones.
But when it comes to Resolution: 1024×768 — This is not the Retina Display that Apple as its high end screens on the iPhone 5 and the bigger iPad. It is not an upgrade. It's actually the same resolution as the iPad 2, but with more pixels per inch.
Powering the iPad is Apple's A5 chip. This is the dual-core 32nm chip running at 1GHz with 512MB of memory. It is the same as the iPad2 that came out in2011, and even Apple says the A6 chip in the iPad 4 and the iPhone 5 is twice as fast for some tasks as the A5.
The device also has a 10 hour battery life, and just like the other iPad models the iPad mini will ship with 3 different capacities: 16GB, 32GB and 64GB.
Primarily made of aluminum and glass, the Mini will come in a Wi-Fi-only model and an LTE version with access to cellular networks on the go. Don't forget it will use the new smaller lightning connector so you will need all new charging cords and adapters if you have lots of accessories with the previous 30-pin connector.
To sum things up, at $329 this is an Apple tablet made to accommodate those individuals on a budget, but it really suits everyone just fine. it isn't made of less quality, but is an obviously well-constructed device that has a lot to offer even over Apple's more expensive tablets. In essence it does what it promises: It brings the iPad experience to a smaller device. Every app that runs on the larger iPad will run perfectly on the iPad mini.

Beginning in 2015 the Hanover Park Police Department wanted to recognize one sworn officer and one civilian employee for service above and beyond. A committee was formed and the end result became known as the Ahlstrand Award. This award is named after former Hanover Park Police Chief Carl Ahlstrand, who was tragically killed in the line of duty February 22, 1959. It was determined that any department employee is eligible to be selected, and nominations may be made by any employee.
Each year, (beginning in 2015), the Ahlstrand Award is presented to one sworn officer and one civilian employee who demonstrate exemplary work performance, dedication to the department, and professionalism during the prior year. The recipients of this award are selected by a committee utilizing a selection process.
The employee should exemplify the high standards of excellence and public service that is set forth by the department.
Recipients should be the type of employee that sets an example for the public and their peers with their conduct, work ethic, compassion, attendance and attitude.
The employee demonstrates a high level of initiative and provides outstanding customer service both internally and externally.
For the 2016 Civilian Employee of the year honor CEO Foley was recognized for his high work ethic, strong customer service skills both internally and externally as well as her positive attitude. CEO Foley is considered a team player and problem solver who maintains a calm, helpful, professional demeanor. CEO Foley is an asset to the Police Department and is consistently an outstanding employee.
The 2016 Sworn Officer of the Year received numerous nominations from department employees at multiple levels. In 2016 Detective Skonieczna closed a high number of cases that were assigned to her including getting charges on an individual that was responsible for multiple car burglaries. Detective Skonieczna was recognized for her motivation, dedication to excellence, teamwork skills, and consistent positive attitude. Congratulations to the 2016 Ahlstrand Award winners.

That sounds beyond fabulous. You deserve it! Happy belated birthday. Sounds like it was a great one!
Thank you! It was fabulous. Fab.u.lous.
That sounds amazing! So glad you enjoyed every single second!
Rather nice to be able to say that. Seems the ultimate luxury to actually enjoy 48 full hours.

HomeAll Posts...Misappropiation, fraud and insolvency offence
The Magistrate's court (Juzgado de Instrucción) no 1 of Benidorm in the criminal pre-trial proceedings no 4391/22014 has dismissed the criminal actions for misappropriation, fraud and insolvency offence, which for three years have been in process against two of our customers, of German and Austrian nationality, of this criminal specialist law firm of Carlos Baño León in Alicante.
The proceedings were initiated as a result of a complaint from a buyer of a luxury vehicle who claimed he bought a very expensive vehicle in 2011 to a well-known businessman, owner of a luxury car dealership, and while he received the vehicle he gave as an initial payment his own vehicle, after been valued, thus being this considered as a payment on account.
Sometime later, this complainant, as well as many others injured by this businessman, found themselves without a car and with the loss of the one they had paid for.
The businessman seemed to be disappeared and he is still disappeared years later and his establishment is closed. Therefore neither this buyer nor others couldn't find whom to blame or how to recover their money or their vehicles.
The complainant knew that at a certain moment my clients had some relationship with this disappeared businessman, which we will explain later, and he attack them by trying to blame them for the criminal act of the missing businessman and he wanted to blame them in order to obtain satisfaction of his rights and this is why he incorporated them to the complaint.
As we indicated from the beginning, but the complainant did not want to hear us, or he was not interested, the only relationship my clients had was very concrete and time limited and that doesn't mean that the arguments of the complainant in that sense could have credibility, since he tried at all costs to implicate them for the crimes the missing businessman committed, namely crimes for fraud, misappropriation and insolvency offence.
The facts that we duly proved and that ruined the complainant's argument are that our customers a few months before the businessman closed his premises met him because they were looking to settle in Spain and given that one of our customers was an important importer and exporter of vehicles in his country, Austria, he saw that there could be a possibility of business by lending him a certain amount of money and giving him some cars so that with their sale he could reactivate his business and they made it easier for him to collect the money through these sales commissions. But nothing else happened because as we proved shortly after, our client increased the list of injured persons because he did not see his money back and he lost part of the cars.
Our client lent him money apart from giving him several vehicles so that with their sale he could obtain commissions, but after this story our client would find out that he didn't get the money back and also he lost some of the vehicles and he recovered others.
The complainant based his complaint on the fact that my clients took the same premises months after the businessman's disappearance and for him these were enough reasons to understand that there was a company succession with the aim of defrauding.
For the complainant the fact of having a loan; of occupying the same premises and the fact that my clients took some vehicles of the industrial unit in order to occupy it, were evidence for his complaint.
However, nothing could be further from the truth, as Carlos Baño León's criminal lawyers from Alicante proved and months after the disappearing businessman's premises were closed, my clients negotiated with the owner of the premises, making a new contract and paying the relevant deposit, and all this was duly proved, so there was no continuity in the use of the premises.
Secondly, the activity of my clients began a few months after the disappearance of this businessman and therefore there was an interruption of activity in the premises, something that the complainant denied since it was an element for the substantive criminal type and therefore he argued that there had been no interruption of the activity. Hence the activity of criminal lawyers of Carlos Baño León was conducted as one of our defense instruments to combat and prove the lack of veracity of this fact.
Thirdly, the loan was real, as it was proved, as well as the delivery of money and the loss of the same loan, not meaning that the fact that there was a loan's granting could prove the existence of the same company and its succession.
In order to avoid the slightest doubt, it was proved that when my client took possession of the industrial unit, there were several vehicles there that were in my client's name because they were some of those that he handed over to the missing businessman and that apparently he could not sell and that is why he left them there. So the fact that my client kept them was due to he exercised his property right, as it has been recognized.
Therefore, all this has been useful for the judge to have dismissed the criminal procedure since she understands that the company of my clients never had any relation with the company of the disappeared person; that this company of the disappeared man closed, ceased its activity and that the company of our clients never had participation in the alleged fraudulent businesses carried out by the disappeared businessman; adding also that the investigated, our clients, never had any intervention or relationship in previous years when the delivery of the vehicle as a deposit took place to be sold by the complainant and finally the judge understood that the loan made by my clients was a real one and she also considered proved that its object was that the business owner, who later disappeared, could stay afloat and he could get out of the situation of financial crisis that he had, but this never happened and my clients never recovered the money they lent as a loan nor a good part of the vehicles that they have handed over in order to reactive the company of this entrepreneur and alleged scammer with the sale of the said vehicles.
The task of our criminal lawyers from Alicante has been during this time, indeed a very long period of time, to prove with a series of supporting evidence that our clients never participated in any criminal action of the disappeared businessman, quite the opposite they were victims of him and this has been a resounding success as we have managed to rid our customers of a large number of claims in the event that they were held liable, albeit indirectly for a collaborative action with the missing fraudulent entrepreneur.
Success of which we feel very proud because there has been a lot of work behind and we have achieved there was no suspicion at all against our clients on the committal proceedings phase and it must be remembered that this phase is the preparatory stage of the hearing, to which they would have gone if there were the slightest sign of criminal responsibility, because in this case is in the trial where it must be deliberated whether these signs should be considered evidence or they may come to nothing.
Remember that we are at your disposal for any type of case that you may have in the criminal proceedings, highlighting especially how you can see our articles on economic crimes.

This is the best product every designed for cleaning handguns and rifles. I've bought these several times and used them on my 9mm, .380 and .38 caliber pistols. They work so well I also bought the ones designed for my .22 pistol and rifle. They are less messy than cloth patches and the scrubber end really gets into the rifling grooves of the gun barrels. I find I don't need to use as much cleaning solvents/oils to get the job done. I am a very satisfied customer of this product.
I have been a Police Officer in Texas for 32yrs and have cleaned a few guns. I wish we would had the Barrel Buddy when I had to clean my guns. I like the no mess cleaning especially cleaning my guns at home.
Clean your gun in seconds. I always clean my guns after a day at the range. It was always a pain to get out all the stuff since I would usually shoot my 22, 380, 9, and 40. Now with a cleaning rod, and my barrelbuddys I am done in a few minutes.
I think this is finally a great alternative to patches. Glad I tried them. Will be buying more for my other size guns.

Renewable energy in Costa Rica
Posted on September 22, 2016 by Our Little Earth
Costa Rica has gone for over 2 months straight without burning any fossil fuels to generate electricity. They have used only renewable energy (hydropower, geothermal, wind, biomass, and solar energy). This year, the country has had a total of 150 days where the electricity came only from renewable sources. Last year, the country had a total of 300 such days. About 80% of the country's electricity comes from hydroelectric power plants (where falling or flowing water is used to generate power). You can watch 2 videos here to learn more about this story.

OnlineMovies.Watch
#3 in Best Streaming Search Engines
https://onlinemovies.watch
Click to visit OnlineMovies.Watch See all Best Streaming Search Engines
OnlineMoves.Watch is a fantastic tool that directs viewers to legal sites to stream any movies they like. It's essentially a content aggregator, but only for streaming sites. It's the most complete and legit platform for a variety of streaming resources. You'll be able to view material on major broadcasting sites like ESPN+, HBO and Cinemax for free throughout these sites' trial periods.
Fantastic sort and filter
Lots of informations about movies and shows
Too much ads from Amazon
About OnlineMovies.Watch
What is Onlinemovies.watch?
Why should you stream on Onlinemovies.watch?
Onlinemovies.watch has a fantastic user interface and user experience. It boasts a superb user interface that is backed up by an equally excellent design. The menus are attractive, and the material is well-organized. I'm reminded of Amazon Prime Video by the dark color scheme with green accents. This is understandable, given that Onlinemovies.watch is an Amazon affiliate program. Its collection, on the other hand, isn't limited to Amazon-exclusive titles.
Excellent Sort Function
The sorting section's gauge choice is fantastic. It has a contemporary appearance and is quite functional. The material may be sorted by 'Release Date,' 'Popularity,' and 'Rating.' You have the option to 'Filter on Amazon Titles' because the website is linked with Amazon prime through an affiliate program. Aside from that, there's a 'Release Year' meter and a 'Decade Selection' meter. In addition, the film has an IMDb rating. The design, structure, and functionality are all excellent.
Genre-based Content Diversification
Because of the subcategories in the header area, finding material by genre is straightforward. You may choose any genre based on your mood right away. There are several genres to choose from, including Drama, Action, Comedy, Murder, Documentary & History, Family, and Horror. The title thumbnails are arranged horizontally, with a well-balanced portion to the right, keeping everything tidy.
User-Friendly Ads
I can't believe I'm saying this, but I enjoy the advertisements on this site. Because the ad-fill ratio is well-maintained, they contribute to the overall browsing experience rather than detract from it. The aesthetics are aided by the well-designed banners that compliment the design. The level of flexibility and control available for ads these days is incredible. The advertisements aren't begging for your attention; instead, they are static advertisements that may be simply ignored if desired.
In-depth streaming information
I'm sold by the inner page, which has all of the live data. There's a detailed summary with streaming platform information, cast and character thumbnails, plus a slew of other important details. If you're trying to figure out what to anticipate from a random title you've never heard of, you may read the storyline to get a good notion of what to expect.
This segment is one of my favourites since you may learn about the platforms where you can discover the information straight away. For example, when I clicked the title of Uncharted, I was given the option to watch it on 'Amazon Prime' for a 30-day free trial.
The creators' efforts are obvious on this fantastic website. You might say I'm partial to dark-themed websites. This website, however, is one of the better streaming-related websites I've encountered in recent years, thanks to its functionality and emphasis on easy browsing and navigation. Everything has been arranged to perfection, including the homepage banners, toggling choices, search function, and content placement.
On the website, there are two main header areas. A logo is on the left and a search engine is in the centre of the main header area. The secondary header area contains a variety of genres to help you choose a movie that matches your mood. 'Action', 'Romance', 'Anime', 'Asia', 'Children', 'Drama', 'Criminal', 'Documentary & History', and 'Classic' are among the genres available.
Hero Section
One of the most appealing aspects of the website is the hero section. There is a banner in the style of an Amazon affiliate ad that invites you to begin your free trial. The 'Most Popular Movies' section is located beneath the banner. The fantastic sort feature is on the right, and it lits the whole hero section.
On Onlinemovies.watch, the body part has horizontal divisions for different movie genres and television series. There are five thumbnails in each row in this area, as well as headlines like 'Latest Movie Releases,' 'Marvel versus DC,' 'Top Recommended IMDb Movies,' 'Perfect for Sleepover,' and 'Best Movies on Amazon.' The classification makes you feel like you're on a premium streaming service.
The inner page is without a doubt my favorite portion of the website. If you click on any movie on the site, you'll be sent to the inner page. I chose Raising Dion Season 2 as a test for this website. As soon as I clicked, I was sent to the inner page, which had a movie poster thumbnail on the left and IMDb and Metacritic ratings on the right. There was data such as Ratings, Director, and Casts under the rating. A sorting tool with three primary options - 'Genres,' 'Free Trial,' and 'Stream Quality' – is located in the centre (HD or 4K). The greatest thing is that there are two more sections, one with images of all the cast members and the other with movie recommendations.
The search box and handy sorting tool make finding material on this website a breeze. You may learn more about 'Marvel Studios' Moon Knight,' 'Death on the Nile,' 'Sonic the Hedgehog 2,' and 'Squid Game,' among other IMDb Best Rated Movies. Because of its location sharing capabilities, the website can display you the most popular material in your area. In addition, the new release area keeps you up to speed with new releases like Jungle Cruise, Antlers, Brazen, Copshop, Army of Thieves, Don't look up among others.
Desktop/Mobile experience
I enjoyed perusing and navigating the website's numerous areas. Onlinemovies.watch is designed for all screen resolutions, so you may watch it on any device. It's quite responsive, and browsing isn't interrupted. You may discover a myriad of thumbnails from any category by clicking on the 'View More' button to the right of the category name.
Suggestions I have for Onlinemovies.watch
Everything about this website is great, except for the developer's overzealous promotion of Amazon's streaming services. I'd want to repeat that I'm not opposed to advertisements, but the extra work is visible in the various banners that span the site.
4+ Best OnlineMovies.Watch Alternatives For Best Streaming Search Engines
ChiliMovie
Chilimovie is a streaming directory that offers consumers movie and television show information. It instructs you on how to use streaming services to watch content. Many premium services provide a one-month free trial, and Chilimovie will give you all of the information. Aside from streaming information, you may also watch trailers for movies and television shows and learn more about a title. In Europe, Chilimovie has a sizable fan base. It now has over 2 million users, with the bulk of them being from Austria, Poland, and the United Kingdom. The amount of subscribers demonstrates the platform's enormous power over its audience.
Yidio
Yidio is a free movie streaming service (or streaming platform aggregator) that works in a similar way to numerous pirate sites. Rather than hosting most material, Yidio just links to it, compiling a list of free and legal movies and TV series that you can watch in the app or on your computer. This is a big plus as it saves time for people when they want to browse many streaming sites all at once.
uNoGS
uNoGS is a website with a great design that is dedicated to making Netflix material accessible to people all around the world. You may access all of the network's programming on the platform. You'll be given detailed instructions on how to watch a specific piece of material, whether it's a film, a documentary, or a television show. You may use the global search box to discover material by ranking, name, release year, cast, genre, and even IMDb rating.

Roasted for lovers of dark roast. We're not pulling any punches with the roast development of this coffee. Pushed just before 2nd crack, this coffee still holds up with flavors of roasted hazelnut, vanilla, and a smoked finish. Takes very well to cream and sugar, and a nostalgic quality to most, if not all, coffee drinkers.


Many new immigrants get their first job in foodservice, where they build literacy skills and gain Canadian work experience that helps them integrate into the Canadian labour market.
Over the next 20 years, the one-two punch of low fertility rates and the retirement of baby boomers will create a labour shortage crisis of unparalleled proportions. By 2020, the Conference Board of Canada predicts a labour shortage of nearly one million people.
The number of temporary foreign workers in the GTA, what critics call cheap, disposable labour, has almost doubled in four years, according to new studies from Citizenship and Immigration Canada.
Currently, the largest number of occupations showing signs of shortages at the national level is concentrated in management occupations and in the health sector. Pressures are particularly acute for physicians, therapy and assessment professionals (e.g. physiotherapists), head nurses and nurse aides. Other health occupations, such as registered nursing assistants, audiology technicians, physiotherapy technicians and medical radiation technologists, are also facing pressures. Among other occupations showing signs of shortages are those related to oil and gas drilling and services, home builders and renovators, contractors and supervisors in trades, computer engineers and software engineers.
For the first time, senior citizens will outnumber children around 2015, according to population projections released yesterday by Statistics Canada. 'It's a very significant shift in the nature of population,' said Rod Beaujot, a sociology professor and demographer at the University of Western Ontario. The aging trend will affect almost every area of society, from health care and the labour force to investment and immigration.

Dis-Kinect-ion: Kinect Free Bundle Confirmed
As of now it is well and truly clear that Microsoft have huge plans for the Xbox One this year. Just a month before one of the biggest video gaming conventions in the world begins, Microsoft have hit the ground running making several announcements concerning their latest bid in the escalating video game console race as part of the Xbox Wire service.
Just overnight it was confirmed that Microsoft will be offering a Kinect-free Xbox One bundle to consumers; reported to be $100USD less than the current SKU. Despite looming suspicion that the Kinect sensor isn't as inclusive to the core Xbox One experience as initially claimed, this allows Microsoft's console to sell at a far more attractive price point, especially when lined up against their direct competitor, Sony's PlayStation 4. The newly announced bundle is scheduled for release around June.
Not only that, but Microsoft also announced the removal of specific services from their Xbox Live Gold paywall and making them free-to-use by June. This means applications such as Netflix and Hulu will no longer require an active Xbox Live Gold subscription in order to be used. Of course, this is subject to one's geographical location but is still an important step in proving the cost-effectiveness and entertainment value of the Xbox One outside of video games.
Other announcements included more discounts as part of Deals with Gold, Standalone Kinect Sensor SKU and the awaited release of Games with Gold for Xbox One (beginning with Halo: Spartan Assault and Max: The Curse of Brotherhood).
Given the above, it is quite evident that June will be a huge month for Microsoft, even with the inclusion of of E3. Xbox One owners have much to look forward to within just weeks, and if you haven't picked one up yet, Microsoft looks to have a few investment-friendly aces up their sleeve.

Surely I can't be the only one that gets absolutely giddy in the lobby of a nice hotel, right? That literally squeals with delight when they walk into a bright, airy, clean hotel room?
Seriously — is it just me?? OK, fine.
But we can't deny that having a really solid place to lay your head while traveling is paramount. And if you're as bad as me, a bad hotel can really put a damper on the entire visit.
Well, that's why we put so much weight into our hotel reviews.
Kid friendly amenities available such as a crib, cot, high chair, etc.
Lastly, we provide our overall opinion — would we stay there again, would we recommend it to a friend, etc. — and our overall rating out of 5.
1 = Hell no. I'd rather sleep in my car.
2 = Meh, maybe. If it was super convenient or the only thing available.
4 = Great stay with only a few caveats so would stay there again.
5 = HYFR it's the best hotel EVER!

The text inside the two quotation marks designate the title. Simply put yours there and hit update.

Well that's half of the military industrial complex identified, now if we could just do something about the Halliburtons of the world we might find some funds to do what is necessary, besides waging wars.
Jabberwocky" is a poem of non-sense verse written by Lewis Carroll, originally featured as a part of his novel Through the Looking-Glass, and What Alice Found There (1872).
Millions of moments, just moments accrue to all of us in our lifetime.
An unexceptional occurrence, just a moment from my past that made me smile then and still does today. A happy time.
Today is Sunday, a day that most men and boys in America celebrate by watching professional football. My Sundays for quite a while were no different. Our favorite team then was the Washington Redskins for the unexceptional reason that we lived in the Washington vicinity, Alexandria, Virginia to be exact. My son Michael who had attained the age of maybe ten joined me in rooting for a team that was just then turning the corner from a bad team to a very good team. It was the time of coaches like Vince Lombardi, George Allen, and Joe Gibbs. Players of the caliber of Sonny Jurgenson, Billy Kilmer, and John Riggins.
We lived in a 'garden' apartment off the Mt. Vernon Parkway located between Alexandria and Mount Vernon. A location where my wife and I concur was our 'happiest place'. Down the street was the usual drugstore. It was either a Drug Fair or a Peoples drug, I can't remember which. where one day Mike was running an errand for his mother. You really could in those days send a young boy on an errand and be confident that he would not be kidnapped or that something equally as bad would befall him. But the next thing his mom heard was Mike flying into the apartment reporting news that he could not believe. It was too unbelievable and the news didn't take long to spill itself out. One of the Washington Redskins lived in our vicinity and Mike spotted him in the drug store. What he was buying left Mike in a small state of shock. Chris Hanburger, a big Redskin lineman was standing in the checkout line with a package of cigarettes and a package of pink rubber gloves. He was very quick to report to his mom that they were certainly for his wife. Hanburger remained one of Mike's favorites but thinking that he perhaps had feet of clay like the rest of us mortals made him think a little more I am sure.
How does Google see the future?
There's such an overwhelming amount of information now, we can search where you are, see what you're looking at if you take a picture with your camera. One way to think about this is, we're trying to make people better people, literally give them better ideas—augmenting their experience. Think of it as augmented humanity.
I love technology, but darn isn't it starting to sound more and more like Big Brother? "Augmented humanity" sounds a tad like thought management. George Orwell might be stirring in his grave.
If Saturday's weather appears as billed, sixty degrees and sunny, and if my lady is free of any of those damnable side effects then we will be headed to Malabar farm for their annual Heritage days festivities. It's simple entertainment that a farm and perhaps a little music can provide.
We've been to many of the festivals, weather permitting, and always feel better after being there. I, of course, always feel good about the beginning also. After being transported to the farm proper from our parking space in one of the fields by a farm wagon drawn by a tractor I usually follow an aroma of doughnuts cooking in large kettles and coffee by the gallons brewing and ready for dunking or for the more genteel a few sips between bites of the cinnamon laden doughnuts. The picture I saw on Flickr reminded me of this.
Malabar was the home of author Louis Bromfield and he would be greatly pleased to see the turnouts that are usually generated. Weather is of course the key. Bromfield was a writer of great renown in the thirties and forties, a winner of a Pulitzer, and at one time thought of and mentioned in the same breath with Fitzgerald and other of his ilk. He was known as the man who had everything. Money from his fiction, and his books being turned into movies, the Rains Came being one. He was friends with all the great writers and actors from Hollywood. He invited many of them to the farm and they came. Life was wonderful and lucrative for everything he touched. He also wrote non-fiction about life on the farm He loved life at Malabar and had to be coaxed by his business manager to please write more fiction as money was running out. The joy went out of his writing and writings about the farm was not too lucrative. His wife died, his daughters married and departed to lives of their own and he contracted cancer. He ran out of money and his great friend Doris Duke saw to it that he was taken care of in his final illness.
I'm not much of a photographer nor am I a great fan of wildlife. Last night I opened my inner door and there at eye level on my glass storm door is a very large praying mantis that had decided to rest for a while and I presume to make a meal of the multitudes of those flying insects my light attracts on these summer evenings. Not that I am in fear of my life from this creature, but let's say I wouldn't want him joining me for breakfast. Anything with a angular shaped green face I presume is on a specialty diet anyway.
So anyway I took a few shots with my trusty brownie and if I tell you that this is the best of my futile attempts of getting one decent shot you would probably suggest that as long as I don't do this for a living I'm o.k. That's it from the wild kingdom.
For any of you out there who are worried about the health and outcome of the mantis, perhaps the SPCA would be one, I can assure you that he left Ohio in one piece and in fact was photographed again by the paparazzi in New York engaging in after hours hijinks. He seemed to doing well indeed.
Ya gotta love em. The Indians managed to stay even with the Angels through nine. Top of the tenth the Angels do not score. Bottom of the tenth the Indians get a double and he is moved over to third on a fielders choice. One more out makes it two out man on third, up come Duncan who in recent games has come away a hero with a couple home runs which now causes a few ripples of expectation to go through the small assembly of folks remaining in the stands.
After a few pitches Duncan makes contact with the ball and it bounces undramatically toward shortstop; the crowd deflates. The shortstop charges the bouncing ball, picks it up and my Lord, he drops it.
Duncan speeds to first and the man on third dashes in from third and scores. The Indians win, they win, they win.
Duncan knowing that tonight he was one lucky so and so heads for the dugout, but the Indians young and hungry for victories grab him and start beating on him and jumping on him and each other. You gotta love it, they are all so young and so full of hope and desire to win. I loved it. So what they're close to ninety losses, it's baseball in Cleveland. Our team is full of kids who want so much to win that maybe if we believe with them anything might happen.
Forget about Scrooge Mcbaseballowner counting his money and figuring who else he can give away. Enjoy the kids giving their all and sometimes like last night coming away looking like pennant chasers. Another day, another dream who knows.
I like this cartoon by Jeff Koterba because it reflects exactly what we are up to currently. We are boxing up books and carting them to our local library. I'm not replacing them in my ereader, but if I want to own a book I look first to see if it is available for download to Kindle.
This ten minute video is obviously about Beethoven being deaf when he conducted his opera. I don't know anything else about it except that he indeed did go deaf. The video seems to be from a movie but I don't know that or any other facts about the video or if the video was based on a real incident or not.
He was not always deaf but he started going deaf around his late 20s and in a few years he was completely deaf but continued to compose by feeling the vibrations of his instrument.
Beethoven wasn't actually stone deaf as some would have you believe, however his hearing was seriously impaired. Here is one of the things that was written about his problem by him.
"It is curious that in conversation there are people who do not notice my condition at all; since I have generally been absentminded, they account for it in that way. Often I can scarily hear someone speaking softly, the tones yes, but not the words. However, as soon as anyone shouts it becomes intolerable"
Beethoven began to suffer from a very severe form of "tinnitus" (ringing in the ears) around the year 1796. He hearing gradually deteriorated until, it is believed, he lost nearly 100 percent of his hearing. It has been written that at the premier of his ninth symphony, he had to be turned around to see the tumultuous applause by the audience. Many people believe that he died of lead poisoning. The lead came from his drinking cup and not to mention they put lead in wine sometimes. All this was found out when a sample of his hair was analyzed in a lab just a few years ago.
He first noticed signs of deafness in his late 20s and he eventually went profoundly deaf. All the music of his late period was composed when he was totally deaf.
Someone, and I am very remiss in not remembering who, conjectured that the Indians might make a hit with their fans if they signed three former Indian hero's to contracts next year. The three are Jim Thome, Manny Ramirez, and Omar Visquel. They also figured they could be signed for about two to three million apiece. They thought it might be doable.
I agree it might be doable, but I think most fans even though the idea is intriguing would not like to see it happen, and it would seem more like a traveling road show and would in fact distract from the business of molding a winning team consisting of the young kids they have assembled.
Not world breaking news, but my stomach says maybe it is. Homemade blackberry pie was/is as good as it looks.
At the conclusion of a very deep conversation of the deep thinkers, Ohio branch, the question was framed: What the heck is the hucklebuck?
A little catch up. It's been a while and Hazel is very glad to relate that there is nothing frightening or alarming to report. Indeed, the news is decidedly optimistic. The Arimidex regimen continues. She is tolerating it well. There are side effects, but that is to be expected. None of which are intolerable. She has an omnipresent slight nausea and a feeling of overall tiredness. Her old friend hot flash is back. She was so grateful when flash ran its course several years ago when she was going through menopause. But no, flash is back. Be prepared for him.
One piece of advice that she imparts is the selection of an oncologist. Don't just randomly pick one out of the phone book. Please if you have any sources who might be of help here, take it. This person you select to make the journey with you is really quite important. You will have questions and more questions cropping up almost weekly. This person that you select will be your guide who will answer all your million questions that will arise. If you have chosen correctly there will be no question that he cannot answer. If the medical person you are using as an oncologist cannot answer a question or makes a statement like, "I've never heard of that", you may have picked the wrong person. Your oncologist should be learned and current. You should be comfortable with your choice. After all you and this doctor are going to share and perhaps make decisions that could effect the length and quality of your life.
Everything about this piece of film is astounding. First is that it is based on fact. Try as I can, trying to emulate being blind and deaf from birth is an impossibility. How absolutely lost and disconnected I would be. Then having an intelligence such as Keller did and having no input, no sound, no sight. I try to but find it impossible.
I have seen the scene above many times, but I am always awestruck that it really did happen and there was a person named Helen Keller and she really did start out life as described and a great dedicated teacher was able to make a connection and opened the world to her pupil. Fantastic in fact and in the interpretation for the movie.
The actors in the movie were so very good in interpreting how it might have been.
Eureka! The Internet is a bottomless wealth of things worth watching and reading over and over again. Then again it also abounds in amazing trash. Today I accidentally found two of the former at You Tube. One of my favorite books ever is TO SERVE THEM ALL MY DAYS by R.F.Delderfield, which also happens to have been adapted by Masterpiece theater years ago. I discovered it has been posted in ten minute pieces on you tube. While I was there I also discovered another of my faves, UPSTAIRS, DOWNSTAIRS. I will avail myself to a little rerun entertainment later today.
What a great hour or two for a holiday treat.
A new show debuting on HBO this month looks to me to maybe be a good one. It's a dramatic series about prohibition in the twenties. I'm not very good at picking shows, but this looks pretty good. Martin Scorsese directed the pilot.
We used to live and work in the Washington area. At the beginning of the video you will hear a plane flying over. We lived off the Mount Vernon Parkway just outside of Alexandria, Virginia and the planes landing at what is now Reagan National airport, then Washington National, used to make their final approach coming down the Potomac river. We heard their noise daily, but it never bothered us, it was just part of the scene.
In our early days in Washington we used to take advantage of the concerts given at the Watergate (not the Nixon Watergate, but the Watergate at the Lincoln memorial given free on weekends. Free was just the right price for us in those days.
The bridge was originally a draw bridge, but they changed it later. Just left of the circle around the Lincoln memorial they built steps down to the Potomac. They built a barge on the river, and the service bands would play. It was great.
If I was not here where I undoubtedly want to be, where would I like to be? An art gallery is right up there on my list of places.
Memory lapses, Alzheimer's disease, Aging and the Brain. Charlie Rose and his panel of scientists and doctors talk about it. We live into our eighties now, and our hope is that we mentally keep up with our body. God knows as we get older we lose the physicality to continue doing what we once did. It then becomes our hope that at least we can use our brains to remember the best parts of our life.
When Mr. Douglas made the statement that his cancer was stage four my eyes became misty. I know what stage four means and Letterman had to know. Not too long ago my love was diagnosed with cancer stage one, and I became a marshmallow. My world is looking good, but I mist up for Michael and anyone else who is plunged overnight into the nightmare that is cancer. It is a world we all know about, but in fact really know nothing about until it strikes. Bless Mr. Douglas and his bravery for being able to sit there and report the worst. I don't know how people do it, I certainly can't, but I am the worst example and Mr. Douglas is the best.

Taylor Swift Announces First Tour In Five Years
by Music-News.com on November 3, 2022
Taylor Swift announced the U.S. dates for her first tour in five years on Tuesday.
Swift announced that The Eras Tour – which will span all of her 10 album eras from her self-titled debut to Midnights – will begin in Glendale, Arizona on 18 March 2023.
"I'm enchanted to announce my next tour: Taylor Swift | The Eras Tour, a journey through the musical eras of my career (past & present!) The first leg of the tour will be in stadiums across the US, with international dates to be announced as soon as we can!" she wrote on social media.
While most artists usually tour in support of their latest album, Taylor has shunned this tradition because she has released four albums – Lover, Folklore, Evermore, and Midnights – and re-released Fearless and Red since the Reputation Stadium Tour in 2018.
Taylor will perform in stadiums across 20 U.S. cities over four-and-half months, concluding with two nights at the SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles in August. Her special guests include Paramore, Haim, Phoebe Bridgers, Beabadoobee, Girl in Red, Muna, Gayle, Gracie Abrams and Owenn.
"Feeling like the luckiest person alive because I get to take these brilliant artists out on tour with me: @paramore, @radvxz, @phoebebridgers, @girlinred, @whereismuna, @haimtheband, @gracieabrams, @gayle and @owennmusic. I can't WAIT to see your gorgeous faces out there. It's been a long time coming," she concluded her announcement.
Swift recently told U.S. talk show host Jimmy Fallon that she missed seeing her fans react to her music live.
"I miss, you know, when you write songs and you're proud of the songs, and you have the fans reacting… the most potent way that you can see them react is when you're looking into their faces," she said. "I really miss that connection."

US would welcome `profesional' Indian Army in Iraq and Afghanistan
Babina (UP), Oct. 26 - ANI: A senior commander of the U.S. Army on Monday said that having a professional force like the Indian Army at its disposal, especially in highly aggressive war zones like Iraq and Afghanistan, would always be welcome.
The Indian Army is a professional force and the US Army will be comfortable with it anywhere, Lt. Gen. Benjamin R. Mixon, Commander, Pacific Command, said in reply to a question on whetherthe US Army is ready to seek Indias help in Iraq and Afghanistan in a counter terror and insurgency operation.
Lt. Gen. Mixon, who was addressing accompanying media on the sidelines of the first ever Indo-US joint mechanized forces exercise in Babina, Uttar Pradesh, further went on to say: We want to work together as militaries to establish peace in Asia-Pacific region. If any eventuality occurs in future, we are better prepared to work together.
He also claimed that the exercise had so far been a wonderful and worthwhile experience, and had gone a long way in raising the level of understanding between the two armies.
The counter insurgency/terror exercise with India has been absolutely fantastic and it has helped the US soldiers to understand India in a better way, Lt. Gen. Mixon said.
From the Indian side, Lt. General A.S. Sekhon, Director General, Military Operations, said: This is a training exercise and it is not aimed at anybody. We are trying to know each others procedures. The is all about training with the US Army to enhance our understanding and capability.
A significant aspect of the 17-day exercise that commenced on October 17 and concludes on October 29, is that for the first timethe US Army has deployed the Javelin Missile and Stryker armoured vehicles to act as force multipliers in a third country other than Iraq andAfghanistan.
Another first is that of the Indian mechanized battalion participating along with Strykers Squadron in a joint exercise under overall command of an Indian Brigade headquarters.
So far, the achievements of the joint exercise called Yudh Abhyas2009 are:
- Both sides have achieved interoperability and capability to function alongside for operations under an UN mandate and - The US troops were exposed to rich culture and tradition of India.The Indian troops gained exposure to contemporary weapons systems used by US troops. The overall aim of the exercise is to conduct a joint Indo-UStraining exercise under the framework of an agreed joint training program for sharing useful experience in peacekeeping operations, humanitarian and disaster managements and relief operations.
Two hundred and ninety five personnel are representing the US Army, while 700 personnel are representing the Indian Army.
Yudh Abhyas is a regularly scheduled bilateral exercise hosted by the Indian Army.
The exercise is designed to promote cooperation between the two militaries while sharing training, cultural exchanges, and building joint operating skills.
This years Yudh Abhyas features 17 Stryker vehicles the largest deployment of the vehicles outside of Iraq and Afghanistan for the U.S. Pacific Rim forces.
Along with the 17 Strykers, the U.S. will showcase the Javelin Anti-Tank Missile system, employed to defeat current and future threat armored combat vehicles.
The YA 2009 constitutes the largest troop exchange since the YA partnership exercise commenced in 2004.
Indian Army soldiers from the 31st Armored Division are working with U.S. soldiers from the 2nd Squadron, 14th Cavalry regiment, Strykehorse, 2nd Stryker Brigade Combat Team, 25th Infantry Division, from Schofield Barracks, Hawaii.
This years exercise includes a multi-echelon, full spectrum combined operation focusing on a United Nations peacekeeping operation scenario, while executing a maneuver live-fire exercise.
During the exercise, participants will engage in a variety of missions, from joint planning and maneuver execution, a variety of artillery ranges, to cordon and search operations as well as search and rescue training.

India must politely say "NO", no matter how sweet/tempting this offer may look like. USA is just trying to enforce the current level, which is definitely not sufficient. Pakistan required 90000 soldiers to carry out it's operations in FATA, which is just 1/3rd the size of Afghanistan, while USA somehow found 100,000 sufficient number to deal with insurgents in Afghanistan, which was proven to be a wrong decision.

The Indian army will not go to Afghanistan because of 2 reasons
Historical, cultural and logistical
Historical : Afghanistan has been a graveyard for any army and during the Indian Empire the Indian army has fought in Afghanistan (albeit under British direction ) and still remember the defeats that such campings bought to it
Cultural : the Deployment of the IA can give a tool to the taliban and its ISI masters in Pakistan a cause to do some rabble rousing in the name of religion and mobilize for yet another holy "Jihad" to drive the "Infidel" Armies out
Logistical : the most worry some of all is Logetics sinces the only logical way to resupply any deployment is through the air but with pakistan in the way the air is not an option
then there is Iran with the yankees at logerheads with Iran every third day that option to is closed
our option is to continue to Build up the Nation of Afghanistan and its institutions
Let's see --- India sends troops to Afghanistan, Pakistan says India--US are conspiring against them and Zadari stops the S. Waziristan offencive. I don't think so.
sir this Meara statement it self will be made in to a mountain the size of the Caucasus ranges by Pakistan so just think what will happen if we deploy a brigade in Kabul
Asia Pacific Region.
No mention of Iraq or Afghanistan.
Check McChrystal's statement from Afghanistan.
These are mere polite feel good statements as far I think

The Indian army has enough to tackle at home(KASHMIR, NORTH-EAST) to send troops into harms way in a foreign land.When India cried itself hoarse about the miliatnt threat from pakistani & afghan soil on india since 1980's the international community kept quiet and looked the other way, these very same people rewarded the perpetrators of kargil,parliament attack,chattisinghpora massacre and others by granting their backers military and financial aid;even today they keep quiet on 26/11 and try to pressurise india on kashmir and other issues. When the hijackers of IC-814 were protected by the afghan's they stayed quiet.
That was my angry rant my serious post is below!
India is respected in afghanistan as a nation who is helping to build the future afghanistan, is we have boots on the ground today we shall face many problems; we shall be among those who shall face the blame for each bomb ISAF lobs into a residential compound by mistake, we shall have to share the blame for each civilian killed.internally much of the indian muslim populace is against the U.S war in afghanistan, this shall also be a problem.
Why would any Indian Muslim have a problem with US presence in Astan? Very common reason politicians give to play vote bank politics. Indian Muslims dont even bother about what happens in their own state of Kashmir so let alone foreign land.
I have always been a supporter of Indian presence in Astan as it puts Pakistan under tremendous pressure. If its with American blessings, then there is nothing that Pakistan can do about it. They will have to do America's will otherwise America will steamroll it.
Logistics will not be a problem as we have Iran as a route. Even if America is at loggerheads with Iran, India can use its good relations with Iran to get its supply. We can also use the American supply line to shore up our own.
I'm not talking about the educated urban muslim like yourself. I have enough muslim friends and colleagues to know that educated urban forward looking muslims do not care. I am takling about the uneducated muslim masses whose only source of info is from the mosque , many of these mosques especially in western U.P are hotbeds of fundamentalism(deobandis) , trust me these are going to make a noise,these people will try to sway the muslim poor on the name of religion; of course vote bank politics comes into play everywhere in india so some or the other politician shall jump into the fray(remember how ram bilas paswan got a osama lookalike to campaign for him in the bihari badlands in the name of islam).
The urban educated muslim dont care of what happens elsewhere. The uneducated poor muslim will certainly not care as he is more bothered about earning the next meal.
No one should use religious sentiment when it comes to national security and interest.
Indian troop presence in Astan will give Pakistan sleepless nights and im sure all terror activities can be controlled. One more attack and we attack from two fronts should be the clear message from India to Pakistan.

Getting into Afghanistan, even with American Blessings will be really bad for our troops. We need not police any other country, havent we learnt our lessons from IPKF? We need not loose troops unnecessarily in a hostile country and bring more reason to the taliban and the Pakistanis to Join Hands once again, and play their dirty little games in India.
I like the way its going now, and dont want to disturb the status quo. We need to make our presence felt in Afghanistan in all ways other than Military Deployment. The assistance we are doing right now is applaudable, but Military Presence wont be!
About Indian Muslims, well most were against Iraq War and we could see why, but In Afghanistan, they didnt have much thought about it, and most of them knew of the Repressive ways of the Taliban and the dangers it posed.
Most politically motivated and organised protests are well funded events with paid protesters(albeit behind closed doors); this is an open secret don't see why it would not be the same way here as well!
So this is what it's all been about: adding Indian troops to the American oil war, when other NATO members are losing interest there. The Indian administration should be crazy to oblige, especially when its own territory is being eaten up bit by bit, by Naxals.
Looking at the bigger strategic game, it will not do us any harm in having our troops there. Besides India can go in with a mandate for peace keeping and training afghans and not take part in the war. That way build goodwill among afghans and at the same time keep the Pakistanis jittery.
yusfji do you favour a more "Hands" on approch n this fact and besides that it will be a grate stratagic game changer but my fear is that our deployment in Astan might be potrayed by taliban and ISI inc as a game to harm the "islamic" fabric of Afghanistan and also our deployment might be counter productive to the Minority Hndu and shik populations in afghanistan to
Our troops can become the protector of minorities there.
As far as what the Taliban and Pakistan think, well who cares. As it is for them India is the land of kafirs.
I am more bothered about the advantage India will get from such a move.
perhaps you are right from a strategic point of view an Indian force in Afghanistan might be to our advantage but yusufji what about the logistical part of things
Iran. Use the port we built and the relations we have with Iran. Also use the US's existing line of supply. But Iran does remain the best option. Tajikistan is the other.
NRI in Europe
In fact George W had asked india for troops to help out in both a'stan and iraq and was politely informed of it's insuitablilty.
besides the reasons i have read above in other posts about cultural differences , basically im sure india doesnt want to become the manpower supplier to the usa for these policing actions.
I want to correct one US idea that is stated - in harm's way.
I have just attended the Infantry Day celebrations.
We do not think there is anything called harm's way.
We have to defend the country and there can be no way to defend the country against our enemy without being in harm's way.
If there is some way, one would sure like to know how!

Special Feature: The Apollo Amperion advantage
Minimal rolling resistance, low noise, better range. Apollo Tyres' new EV-specific range offers a host of benefits to electric vehicle owners.
Published On Nov 14, 2022 07:10:00 PM
The East Coast Road, which connects Chennai with Pondicherry, is one of our favourite stretches. With a great view of the ocean, sparse traffic and smooth tarmac, it is an instant mood-lifter. Last month, we found ourselves on this very road yet again. This time, though, apart from submitting ourselves to the pleasures of the open road, we were also checking out Apollo's Amperion, one of the country's first-ever tyres specifically made for electric vehicles.
The Amperion uses the latest gen polymers and traction resin for low rolling resistance and, consequently, better range.
So, yes, it goes without saying that we were in an EV ourselves, and a formidable one at that – the Tata Nexon EV Max – shod with Apollo Amperion. Hold on, why would EVs need tyres specially made for them, and how are they different from regular tyres?
Electric vehicles offer a bunch of many obvious benefits, but there is also another side to the picture, especially in the context of tyres. EVs are significantly heavier than ICE vehicles, due primarily to the weight of the battery packs, and that instantaneous torque, which enthusiasts keep raving about, leads to higher tyre wear. While EV tyres might look similar to tyres used by ICE vehicles, they are markedly different when it comes to tyre design, components used and construction.
The Amperion's improved tread pattern and rubber compounds help it manage an EV's instant acceleration.
The Apollo Amperion, for instance, uses the latest-generation polymers, traction resin, and other raw materials. And, to manage the instant acceleration of EVs, the Amperion also has an improved tread pattern and rubber compounds. The Amperion range, available in 195mm and 215mm tread sizes, in both R16 and R17 rim profiles, utilises high-traction, full-silica rubber for its tread compound.
The Amperion, whose design takes inspiration from jellyfish, is considered to be among the most energy efficient and silent creatures, also exhibits lesser rolling resistance, amounting to around 30 percent. This consequently improves the performance of the EV and extends its battery range. Apollo calls the ultra-low rolling resistance technology package BEST Tech (Battery Energy Saver Technology).
Another attribute that helps the Amperion achieve reduced resistance on the road is its recessed profile, which helps lower aerodynamic drag. The Amperion is not just among the first EV-specific tyres to be launched in India, it is also the first EV range of tyres to receive a 5-star rating for all the released sizes by the Bureau of Energy Efficiency.
The Apollo Amperion accentuates an EV's trademark relaxing drive.
Electric vehicles such as the Tata Nexon offer quiet, relaxing drives, and tyres such as the Amperion improve on the experience. The Amperion is equipped with AQuT Tech (Apollo Quiet Tyre Technology), which works on tyre cavity, tread pattern and construction to reduce noise. The tread pattern on the Amperion is stiffer and has a larger footprint with multiple pitch sequences to achieve the desired requirements of low noise, besides helping achieve low-rolling resistance and high traction.
In ICE vehicles, tyre noise is subsumed by the roar of the engine, but in an EV, the former is very noticeable and Apollo has done a commendable job in elevating the serenity inside EVs. But the trick up the Amperion's sleeve is not restricted to just low noise – according to Apollo, Amperion tyres are capable of enhancing the range of EVs by up to 8 percent. Which is, of course, what got us curious in the first place and led to this drive we are on.
To cut a long, pleasant story short, the Amperion tyres made the ECR drive a memorable experience. Our plan was to head to Pondicherry and back on a single charge and then tally the figures with our previous tests with the Nexon EV Max. (The Nexon EV Max had achieved 263km back in June.) We stuck to City and Eco modes during our run, and after a quick lunch in Pondicherry, we headed back up the ECR, keeping an eye on the odo all the time. The final numbers were pretty impressive. The Nexon EV Max achieved a range of 280km, which was about 5 percent more than our previous real-world test figure of 263km. Clearly, it pays to think differently when it comes to EV tyres, and Apollo has shown it also pays dividends.
Hitesh Joshi, head of R&D at Apollo Tyres, on how the Amperion enhances the EV experience.
What are the salient features of the Apollo Amperion?
The Apollo Amperion tyres are specifically designed for electric vehicles, which have different performance requirements than regular ICE vehicles. EV tyres have to meet specific expectations that have to do with range, traction, as well as robustness and durability because of the difference in weight between an EV and ICE vehicle.
What are the major differences between a regular tyre and a tyre specifically made for EVs, such as the Amperion?
The biggest expectation is the battery range. The tyres have been designed with best-in-class rolling resistance specifically for EV vehicles and customers can expect the tyres to extend the battery range by a minimum of 5 percent. We have also taken into account the extra traction requirement, as the motor torque is quite high in EVs, and also the fact that they weigh more than ICE vehicles. So, it helps EVs brake at the right distance, ensuring that regenerative braking also comes into play seamlessly. The tyres' load-bearing capabilities are also top notch and we have designed them keeping Indian conditions in mind.
In terms of construction, how is the Amperion different?
We're using a specific technology of full-silica tread to ensure that we get the right traction and right rolling resistance. Apart from the full silica tread, we also use fourth-generation polymer technology and functionalised resins, which impart high traction to the tyre, apart from other properties. So, this is the key difference in this style. Coming right back to the construction, we also reinforced the tyre for Indian road conditions and to ensure the desired traction and handling are provided.
How does the Amperion help extend battery range?
When we designed the Amperion, we worked a lot on getting the materials technology and design bang on. The design of the cavity of the tyre helps it deliver much better aerodynamic drag force. And that helps in reducing the overall rolling resistance.

I liked the house and location very much. I would like the house to be a bit more clean. ie. The floor still had sand on them from the prior renters. In addition, a gas grill be great to have instead of charcoal.
Another great Cape vacation at Capt. Dunbar! We've stayed at Capt. Dunbar for the last 4 or 5 years and will be back again next year. We love how close you are to the beach, the wide open space in the living area, and the amazing views from the deck. Looking forward to next year!
The house was beautiful with a reverse floor plan! Two bedrooms and 1 bathroom on first floor and on the open second floor-living room, dining room, kitchen,wet bar,bathroom and balcony with views of the ocean. The house was very clean and contemporary.
The location was PERFECT! Ellis Landing Beach is within walking distance of the house. The 22 mile Cape Cod Rail Trail is a one mile bike ride via Thad Ellis Road from the house. Many terrific restaurants are nearby including Brewster Fish House and ABBA (Orleans). Also, Snowy Owl Roasters for the coffee lovers. I would also recommend Sydenstriker Gallery and Cape Cod Museum of Natural History.
Old Cape Sotheby's International Reality was a pleasure to rent this vacation property from. Numerous brochures were provided in a special beach bag to help with our vacation plans!
Super location, property was in excellent condition. The rental company and the owner were very helpful in resolving a small issue with internet. Have already indicated to old Cape Sotheby's we will be back next year.
Perfect rental, with water views, for a quiet beach week with amazing sunsets!

Q: ubuntu 20.04 sudenly using port 5432? I was using a postgres docker just fine with ubuntu 18.04.  Now I updated to ubuntu 20.04 and I suddenly can no longer start the docker, since the following error pops up - notice this error keeps appearing after freshly booting:
$ sudo docker start pg
Error response from daemon: driver failed programming external connectivity on endpoint pg (d188f0712e7079530a6d82eaf8c8770ca0ba8b755e41d87810a691e945725f52): listen tcp4 0.0.0.0:5432: bind: address already in use
Error: failed to start containers: pg

Now to see what process might be using that port I tried netstat -nlp however this gave the unhelpful line:
tcp        0      0 127.0.0.1:5432          0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN      -

Indicating that "no PID/program name" is using that port. - What is causing ubuntu to block the common postgres port suddenly. And can I update either docker to use a different port or prevent ubuntu of blocking that port? (Without breaking stuff).

With lsof I find that a postgres database runs on that address: but what has changed with the update from 18.04 to 20.04 that suddenly this address is used? Can I find which tool is responsible for this?
$ sudo lsof -i tcp:5432
COMMAND   PID     USER   FD   TYPE DEVICE SIZE/OFF NODE NAME
postgres 1285 postgres    3u  IPv4  37282      0t0  TCP localhost:postgresql (LISTEN)

pstree -s 1285 (or correct version after rebooting) gives the following response:
systemd───postgres───6*[postgres]

hunting the startup processes using sudo systemctl list-unit-files --type=service
returns amongst the lines the following:
postgresql.service                         enabled         enabled
postgresql@.service                        indirect        enabled

But this still doesn't give me a clue what caused the postgres service to start running on my pc (or what application is responsible).
