The Scotland Yard Gospel Choir is an American indie pop band from Chicago.

History
The Scotland Yard Gospel Choir was formed in 2001 by two college graduates with degrees in music. Despite the name, none of the members are from Scotland Yard or London and they do not play gospel music. Matthew Kerstein and Elia Einhorn initially released the four-track recording Do You Still Stick Out in the Crowd, then expanded to a four-piece by adding Ellen O'Hayer and Sam Koentopp, before releasing the single "Jennie That Cries". The group began playing locally in Chicago, soon opening for Arcade Fire, Of Montreal, The Walkmen, The Fiery Furnaces, and Jay Bennett. In late 2003, they released a debut album, titled I Bet you Say That to All The Boys. In 2005, Kerstein and Koentopp left to form a new band, called Brighton MA. Einhorn continued to front SYGC, with their second release, Scotland Yard Gospel Choir, coming out on  Bloodshot Records in 2007.

On September 24, 2009, the band was involved in a major automobile accident while on tour. Their tour van's tire split and the vehicle rolled several times. All members survived.

Session 3 – Part 2A-3 – Ephesians 4:13-15 teaches that properly equipped believers won't be like children who are tossed around by waves and winds of false doctrine, or by men's trickery, craftiness or deceitful scheming. The one behind all these tactics is our enemy, Satan, who wants to lead us away from the simplicity and purity of God's Word and simple faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. This is why he disguises his servants and himself as angels of light.
When a believer is led astray, what should we do? Ephesians 4:15 says, " but, speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him who is the head—Christ—."
When we see Christians in our fellowship or circle of influence that are doctrinally wrong, we must refute their error. We do this in a spirit of unity, peace and love. Peace and love are key motivations. We must approach an erring brother with patience, instructing him in truth, with humility. We must avoid spiritual pride and arrogance, being sure not to fall into the same doctrinal error or one even worse. Galatians 6:1 teaches us to gently restore a fallen brother, thereby protecting ourselves from falling into the same sin. How do we put on or take up the belt of truth? Do we say a magical prayer or visualize picking it up and putting it on? NO!
Putting on the armor is not a passive action. The armor is not automatically put in place when we accept Jesus. It requires an act of doing, believing, embracing, responding to, and studying God's Word, and is accomplished over time. This is the most basic foundational principal of spiritual warfare.
Ephesians 6:12 says, "we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places." As it concerns each individual believer, the high places referred to here are between our ears. II Corinthians 10:5 says to bring every thought captive to the obedience of Christ. What does this mean? It means that we are to examine each thought that enters our mind, and compare it to the plumb line (inerrant truth) of Scripture. We ask, "Does this thought come from God or Satan? Is it a good or evil thought; the truth or a lie?"
Hebrews 5:12-14 says to quit feeding on the milk of God's Word and start to feed on the meat. We are to become mature in our walk with God. Verse 14 describes discernment, saying that we should exercise our senses to know the difference between good and evil. Exercising our senses implies hard work. Christian maturity requires discernment and obedience to the truth. It requires us to know truth to be able to recognize error. We put on the belt of truth by studying and applying God's Word to our lives.
James 4:7 says to "submit to God, resist the devil, and he will flee." There is a very specific order to this verse. It starts with submission. If we fail to submit and have sin in our lives, then the devil won't flee! How important is wearing the belt of truth? Nothing is more important if we desire to win at spiritual warfare and live a victorious, healthy Christian life.

The Society of American Business Editors and Writers (SABEW) Announces Name Change to Society for Advancing Business Editing and Writing
Posted By Crystal Beasley on Monday April 23, 2018
SABEW's familiar acronym remains the same, but the organization is changing its name to the Society for Advancing Business Editing and Writing. The change, which is effective immediately, is part of a broader effort to embrace a global focus on business journalism. The new name comes in advance of the SABEW18 annual spring conference in Washington, D.C., April, 26-28, 2018.
As an example of SABEW's global reach and impact, the conference's opening event will focus on international trade and be held at the Embassy of Canada. In 2014, SABEW Canada was launched and continues to thrive with new members, social events, programs and BIB awards.
The SABEW Board of Directors approved the name change as part of the organization's international expansion and rebranding effort directly reflecting its global growth initiatives.
"The Society for Advancing Business Editing and Writing name more closely aligns SABEW to business journalists and other stakeholders around the world," said Kathleen Graham, executive director. "Having 'American' in the name suggested that we did not offer membership or training to international journalists. The rebrand is about engaging and encouraging news professionals from across the globe to become members."
Said President Mark Hamrick, senior economic analyst and Washington bureau chief of Bankrate.com: "SABEW will always be primarily invested in business and financial journalism excellence, respect for press freedom and the need for robust and transparent financial and economic data. I'm confident we can gain further traction with a more inclusive name. I encourage our members and others currently outside our terrific organization to join us in these critically important pursuits."
A new SABEW logo will be unveiled in the next phase of the group's strategic branding process.
About SABEW: Members of SABEW band together in the individual and collective pursuit of the highest standards of economic journalism. The organization recognizes that economic freedom is inextricably linked to political freedom and that an informed citizenry can ensure these freedoms are sustained. It is SABEW's mission as an independent, non-profit organization to encourage comprehensive reporting of economic events without fear or favoritism and to increase members' skills and knowledge through continuous education.
SABEW recently has become more focused on press freedom. To that end, it has issued statements and created events and training highlighting the importance of journalism, including the principle that fact-based reporting is necessary for the health of robust democracies. SABEW advocates for full access to financial and economic data, including information collected and distributed by governments.
SABEW also holds an annual Best in Business awards competition, recognizing outstanding journalism conducted in the U.S. and abroad among professionals and students.

During inflammation, proinflammatory macrophages sequester iron as a well known bacteriostatic mechanism. Alternative activation of macrophages is linked to tissue repair, and during this process the expression pattern of genes important for iron homeostasis is distinct from that in proinflammatory macrophages. This leads to an increased capacity of the alternatively activated macrophages for heme uptake, via scavenger receptors, and for production of anti-inflammatory mediators via heme-oxygenase-dependent heme catabolism. Alternatively activated macrophages also release non-heme iron into tissues via ferroportin. Here, we propose that the iron-release-associated phenotype of alternatively activated macrophages significantly contributes to their role in various conditions, including tissue repair and tumor growth. Macrophage activation and polarization The concept of polarized macrophage activation emerged several years ago as a framework to describe the diverse functions displayed by this highly plastic cell type under different conditions . It is now established that, in response to different signals from the microenvironment, macrophages can adopt a continuum of different functional profiles. This can range from classical (or M1) activation, which is typically observed in inflammatory conditions and in response to pathogen challenge, to the other extreme of alternative (or M2) activation, which is driven by immune signals including interleukin (IL)-4, IL-13, transforming growth factor b and glucocorticoids. M2 macrophages are characteristic of the resolution phase of inflammation. These distinct activation phenotypes support different, and in some cases, opposing biological functions, which have an impact on tissue homeostasis and various pathological conditions, including infectious diseases and cancer [2–7]. An understanding of macrophage polarization has been guided by knowledge of how lymphocytes are polarized during adaptive immune activation; thus, a major focus has been the immune regulators that contribute to polarization. Cytokines and chemokines, in particular, have been best proven to distinguish M1 (IL-12high IL-10low) and M2 (IL-12low IL-10high) macrophages [3,6]. Recent studies have Corresponding author: Cairo, G. ([email protected]).
replication. To use better different types of siderophores for outstripping iron from transferrin in the endosome , M. tuberculosis blocks the maturation of phagosomes and fusion with lysosomes, to maintain this intracellular niche at an early endosomal stage . Moreover, M. tuberculosis induce Mramp , a homolog of the mammalian NRAMP1 that pumps iron out of the phagosome , to move iron in the opposite direction. The molecular strategy used by Leishmania for survival in the iron-poor environment of macrophage phagolysosomes involves activation of Tf receptor 1 expression, to exploit the major iron uptake system of the host cell , and the induction of LIT1, a ZIP family membrane Fe2+ transporter . In spite of their efficient uptake mechanisms, microorganisms might have iron deficiency. In that case, they transcriptionally activate the so-called iron regulon to enhance iron uptake capacity , and exploit novel post-transcriptional control mechanisms to repress specifically gene expression and distribute iron only to essential iron-containing proteins (reviewed in ). As bacteria increasingly become resistant to antibiotics, advances in our understanding of the nutritional needs of the microorganisms with respect to iron, will provide useful guidelines for the development of alternative antimicrobial intervention strategies based on the limitation of iron availability (Figure I).
Figure I. Pathogen-host competition for different forms of extracellular iron. Mammals and microorganisms have evolved a variety of molecules to bind different forms of iron, with the dual purpose of acquiring this essential metal for their own necessities and, at the same time, to limit availability for the opponent. The control of this strategic resource is an important element of the host-pathogen interaction and of the so-called nutritional immunity.
(IFN)g-dependent mechanisms . Finally, it is particularly interesting to mention that the effects exerted by local proinflammatory mediators are integrated with systemic mechanisms that also have an impact on iron metabolism (Box 2). In summary, under inflammatory conditions, local and systemic pathways increase iron uptake and repress iron export mechanisms, which leads to iron sequestration in inflammatory macrophages.
Opinion Box 2. Impact of the systemic inflammatory response on macrophage iron metabolism During the acute phase of systemic inflammation, inflammatory cytokines induce the liver to secrete the iron-binding proteins Tf and lactoferrin, and this represents a well-known primary defense mechanism. Liver hepcidin production is also induced, which inhibits macrophage iron release by targeting Fpn to degradation . These events lead to iron sequestration in activated macrophages at the site of inflammation/infection to restrict iron availability to the pathogens locally. Inflammatory cytokines in the circulation also induce iron retention in spleen macrophages and also in the Kupffer cells that recycle great amounts of iron from effete erythrocytes. Therefore, these reticuloendothelial cells are probably the major cell type responsible for the hypoferremia that occurs during systemic infection. Incidentally, the chronic sequestration response might restrict iron availability for erythroid precursors, and hence, contribute towards causing inflammationrelated anemia; a common condition in patients with infections, tumors, and autoimmune disorders . During a systemic inflammatory response, proinflammatory cytokines also activate a classical neuroendocrine–immune negative regulatory loop via the hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal axis, which results in adrenal production of endogenous glucocorticoids . Macrophage exposure to glucocorticoids induces an alternatively activated phenotype, which is characterized by high CD163 expression and enhanced hemoglobin clearance and detoxification capability, suppressed Tf receptor and high Fpn expression . Thus, iron metabolism in macrophages is strongly influenced by polarizing agents also during the development of a systemic inflammatory response, with circulating proinflammatory cytokines that sustain an iron-retention phenotype, and eventually, the development of inflammation-related anemia, and endogenous glucocorticoids that support a global shift of iron homeostasis toward an increased cellular export of heme-derived iron. It is tempting to speculate that, because iron retention by inflammatory macrophages contributes to pathogen control during the acute phase of inflammation, the ability of alternatively activated macrophages to donate iron could provide a relevant contribution to tissue repair in the resolution phase.
Figure 1. Iron metabolism in polarized macrophages. Macrophage polarization affects the expression of ferritin, which stores intracellular iron, and Fpn, which exports iron from the cell. M1 macrophages are characterized by a ferritinhigh/Fpnlow phenotype, which sustains their propensity to store iron and deplete the microenvironment. Conversely, M2 macrophages are characterized by a ferritinlow/Fpnhigh phenotype, and elevated levels of scavenger receptors and HO-1, which mediate efficient heme uptake and degradation, respectively. This metabolic profile sustains the propensity of M2 macrophages to take up and degrade heme and recirculate free iron to the microenvironment.
Opinion macrophage subsets, might be relevant to the pathophysiology of various diseases. For example, the role of macrophage polarization in atherosclerotic plaques is not fully understood, and characterization of plaque-associated macrophages remains incomplete . Advanced atheromatous lesions contain more iron than healthy arteries, and heme and iron are associated with lesion development and destabilization. The precise role of iron in atherosclerosis development is an open question. We anticipate that definition of macrophage iron trafficking in atherosclerotic lesions will provide important insights into disease pathogenesis, as suggested by the demonstration that the iron content of plaque-associated macrophages is important for atherosclerosis disease progress , and that HO-1 expression in macrophages has an antiatherogenic effect and a beneficial role by decreasing the inflammatory component of atherosclerosis . Conflict of interest The authors declare no financial or commercial conflict of interest.

Renault Trucks ist ein französischer Hersteller von Lastkraftwagen mit Hauptsitz in Saint-Priest bei Lyon. Seine Geschichte reicht zurück bis ins Jahr 1894. Ab 1978 unter dem Namen Renault Véhicules Industriels, entwickelte sich das Unternehmen zu einem der größten Marktteilnehmer. Seit dem Jahr 2001 ist Renault Trucks ein Teil der schwedischen Volvo Group mit Sitz in Göteborg. Die Modellpalette umfasst heute in erster Linie schwere Lastwagen für den Fern-, Verteiler- und Baustellenverkehr.

Geschichte
1955 führte Renault seine Produktion von schweren Nutzfahrzeugen mit den Herstellern SOMUA und Latil unter dem Namen Saviem zusammen. 1978 übernahm der Konzern auf Betreiben des französischen Staates auch den Nutzfahrzeughersteller Berliet, um einen international wettbewerbsfähigen Marktteilnehmer zu schaffen. Der Gründer Marius Berliet hatte 1894 in Lyon seinen ersten Motor gebaut. 1916 nahm die Fabrik in Vénisseux den Betrieb auf, wo noch heute Motoren für Renault Trucks gefertigt werden.

Mit der Zusammenführung von Saviem und Berliet entstand die neue Gesellschaft Renault Véhicules Industriels. Durch die Übernahme des Lastwagenbereichs von Peugeot im Jahr 1981 kamen die damals bestehenden Produktionsstätten in Großbritannien und Spanien sowie ein Vertriebsnetz in den Benelux-Staaten und Teilen Skandinaviens hinzu. Im Gegensatz zu anderen Herstellern setzte Renault Véhicules Industriels vor allem auf Mittelklasse-Lkw, was dem Unternehmen in den 1980er Jahren hohe Gewinne bescherte.

Um seine Präsenz in den Vereinigten Staaten auszubauen, übernahm Renault Véhicules Industriels im Jahr 1987 vom Mutterkonzern eine Minderheitsbeteiligung in Höhe von 40 % an Mack Trucks. Beide Unternehmen hatten bereits seit 1983 intensiv in der Forschung und Entwicklung zusammengearbeitet, nachdem Renault schon 1979 bei Mack Trucks eingestiegen war. 1990 stimmte Mack Trucks einer vollständigen Übernahme durch Renault Véhicules Industriels zu.

Anfang der 1990er Jahre hatte Renault Véhicules Industriels mit einer sinkenden Nachfrage zu kämpfen, was unter anderem den Abbau von Arbeitsplätzen und den Verkauf einer Tochtergesellschaft für Finanzdienstleistungen zur Folge hatte. 1993 gründete das Unternehmen mit dem tschechischen Omnibushersteller Karosa ein Joint Venture mit dem Ziel einer Mehrheitsbeteiligung. 1998 gliederte Renault Véhicules Industriels das Geschäft mit Omnibussen wieder aus und brachte es mit Iveco in das Gemeinschaftsunternehmen Irisbus ein. Den Anteil in Höhe von 50 % verkaufte Renault Véhicules Industriels im Jahr 2001 an den Fiat-Konzern.

Im Jahr 2000 kündigte die schwedische Volvo Group an, Renault Véhicules Industriels zu übernehmen, hierdurch entstand der zweitgrößte Lastwagenhersteller der Welt und ein Marktführer in Europa. Renault Trucks wurde zur Schwestermarke von Volvo Trucks. Seit 1990/1991 hatte es bereits eine Überkreuzbeteiligung von Renault und Volvo gegeben, die man jedoch 1993/1994 aufgrund unterschiedlicher strategischer Ziele wieder auflöste. In den folgenden Jahren intensivierte sich die Zusammenarbeit zwischen Volvo Trucks und Renault Trucks, unter anderem im Bereich des Antriebsstrangs und bei der Entwicklung alternativer Antriebe.

Struktur
2002 änderte das Unternehmen seinen Namen von Renault Véhicules Industriels in Renault Trucks. Das Unternehmen operiert seitdem als vereinfachte Aktiengesellschaft nach französischem Recht (Société par actions simplifiée). Ihr Stammkapital beträgt 50 Millionen Euro. Der Geschäftszweck erstreckt sich auf die Entwicklung, Produktion und den Vertrieb von Nutzfahrzeugen, einschließlich aller damit zusammenhängenden Aktivitäten. Seit einigen Jahren sind Vertrieb und Service der fünf Lkw-Marken der Volvo Group in mehreren geografischen Einheiten zusammengefasst. Während der Vertrieb weiterhin getrennt erfolgt, wurden die administrativen Aufgaben für Volvo Trucks und Renault Trucks in der Zentralorganisation Volvo Group Trucks Central Europe mit Sitz in Ismaning zusammengeführt.

Amtierender Präsident des Verwaltungsrates von Renault Trucks ist Bruno Roger Michel Blin.

Modelle
Das Sortiment von Renault Trucks umfasst derzeit acht verschiedene Lastwagen, die von Motoren mit vier oder sechs Zylindern angetrieben werden. Die Baureihe Renault Trucks T, die mit niedriger und hoher Fahrerkabine erhältlich ist, ist für den Fernverkehr gedacht. Sie wurde beispielsweise 2015 als "International Truck of the Year" ausgezeichnet. Bei der Baureihe D, von der es ebenfalls mehrere Varianten gibt, handelt es sich um einen Lkw für den Verteilerverkehr. Diese ist auch mit einem Erdgasantrieb erhältlich und wird seit 2021 als Elektroversion in Serie gefertigt. Auf Baustellen kommen zwei Baureihen zum Einsatz: Für schwere Baustellen ist die Baureihe K gedacht, für leichte Baustellen die Baureihe C. Darüber hinaus führt Renault Trucks auch leichte Nutzfahrzeuge, darunter den Renault Master.

2018 stellte Renault Trucks als einer der ersten Hersteller seine vollelektrische Baureihe Z.E. vor. Parallel arbeitet das Unternehmen kontinuierlich an einer weiteren Verbesserung der Diesel-Lkw.

Kritik
Als langjähriger Eigentümer des Renault-Konzerns besaß der französische Staat entscheidenden Einfluss auf das Unternehmen. 1986 wurde bekannt, dass Frankreich Renault Véhicules Industriels ein Darlehen von 1,5 Milliarden Franc und Liquiditätshilfen von 750 Millionen Franc gewährt hatte. Die Europäische Kommission betrachtete dies als unzulässige Beihilfen und leitete ein Vertragsverletzungsverfahren ein.

An Embarrassing Truth: Why Do Dogs Sniff Crotches?
You bring your new love interest home to meet your dog, only to be mortified when your dog immediately plants his nose in between your new friend's legs. Or, your dog-averse in-laws are seated at the dinner table when Fido decides to take a quick whiff from below. Although most of us consider a dog investigating our private regions an uncomfortable or embarrassing experience, it continues to be an almost universal practice among canines.
Here at Schertz Animal Hospital, we don't shy away from life's tough questions, which is why we've decided to tackle this age-old curiosity: Why do dogs sniff crotches?
Touchy-Feely: Can Pets Sense Emotions in Humans?
As a pet owner, you've likely noticed how your pets seem to respond to your moods. Perhaps your dog shares in your excitement of a hike on a warm spring day, or your cat always seems to curl up in your lap for a snuggle when you're feeling down.
It probably comes as no surprise that the relationship between humans and pets has been studied extensively by scientists and animal behaviorists, including the question of whether or not pets sense emotions.
Dogs have lived and worked alongside humans for more than 14,000 years, protecting us, assisting us in hunting and acquiring food, and providing us with joy and companionship. Although life for the modern canine is significantly more comfortable than it was for their ancestors, having a "job" to do can still be a major benefit to many dogs. Learning to become a therapy dog can be a wonderful way to provide a service to others while giving your dog a fulfilling and enjoyable activity.
Therapy dogs are typically trained to provide love, comfort, and support to individuals in hospitals, nursing homes, schools, hospices, retirement homes, or disaster areas. If you've ever wondered if your pooch has what it takes to become a therapy dog, let the team at Schertz Animal Hospital help you figure it out!

 The Celts (1992)

Descrizione
The Celts è la riedizione sotto la Warner Music (casa discografica di Enya a partire dal disco Watermark del 1988) del primo album intitolato semplicemente "ENYA" pubblicato nel 1987 che conteneva i brani eseguiti dall'artista irlandese per la colonna sonora del documentario della BBC "The Celts" che, come suggerisce il titolo, era incentrato sulla cultura dell'antico popolo che abitava l'Irlanda.
"ENYA" ebbe un discreto successo solo in Irlanda ma rimase alquanto sconosciuto nel resto del mondo, in seguito al grande successo dei due album "Watermark" e "Shepherd Moons" la Warner Music decise di riproporlo nel 1992 cambiando titolo e creando un nuovo artwork.
Lanciato dal singolo The Celts, l'album riesce a portare alla ribalta i brani meno noti della cantante, contenuti nel suo album di debutto. Dalla pubblicazione di The Celts, la versione originale di Enya non venne più prodotta.

La riedizione ottiene una notevole fama e supera, insieme a Enya, 6 milioni di copie vendute.

 I Want Tomorrow è l'unica canzone in inglese dell'album.
 Il libretto contiene delle didascalie scritte da Roma Ryan, che spiega il significato delle varie canzoni.
 Vi è una versione più lunga della canzone Portrait (che nell'originale durava 1:23), intitolata Portrait: Out of the Blue, che dura 3:11.

Honda CB300R Road Test Review
It took a long time for a performance-oriented, affordable machine to bloom in Honda Motorcycles India's garden. This blossoming isn't because of a seed planted locally though, it's imported. The Honda CB300R was brought in CKD form and was launched as a surprise earlier this year, placing it in the now crowded with options, INR 2 to 3 lakh price bracket. Has it got enough to carve its own unique place in the crowd? Read on to find out.
Honda CB300R Styling & Features
Appearance is the first factor if a machine must carve a unique identity for itself. On that count, the Honda CB300R with its Neo Sports Cafe inspired design stands out with its minimal body panels and the retro-inspired, yet, modern, LED-lit face. The tank and its extensions are the only properly painted panels here and the rest of the design allows for the functional bits to expose themselves.
The Wheelbase is short and the had it not been for the long rear fender, the sub-frame and the rear seat cut it out well before the rear wheel's circumference does, making the bike an ideal contender for a tail-tidy job. Illumination is all-out LED (although headlight performance isn't impressive) and there's a blue backlit monochrome display which tells the time, speed, engine speed, engine temperature, kms-per-litre information for the two trip meters and has a lap timer too. A gear indicator could've easily been accommodated. The fuel tank can hold 10-litres of fuel and in terms of build quality, the Honda CB300R is a notch above most locally-made machines. Everything makes you feel like things will last and the bike overall feels well-built, tightly wound and well-made.

Honda CB300R Ergonomics, Braking and Ride & Handling
Since the CB300R tips the scales at a mere 147 kilos, it feels almost weightless between your thighs and with a spartan front end, is a jolly laugh in terms of manoeuvrability. In the saddle, folks upwards of 5.3″ can ride this thing easily and the footpegs aren't too rearset, allowing for a comfortable, yet, sporty riding position with that flat and wide handlebar. The seat is well padded and even after spending 4 hours plus on two consecutive days, we had no complaints.
Talking about handling, the front and rear Michelin Pilot Street radials are wide and their profile is well-rounded, allowing for a lot of confidence when you throw this flyweight thing into corners. Grip levels fall a little short of great. However, the wide contact patch allows for a lot of confidence on city roads which are littered with uneven gaps, manhole lids and all kinds of rubbish.
Out on the open road, the light front end stabilises itself as speeds increase, however, at high speeds, it does feel like it could do with some self-centring. Especially when the bike encounters a sudden uneven patch on our poorly-surfaced roads. Through bends, the bike displays good composure and can carry a lean with confidence, however, push it too much and you will find the rear spring a softie. The CB300R can do long distance rides too for the performance on tap and in the saddle, except for the lack of wind protection and tiny tank capacity, there won't be much to complain.
Ride quality is great and this Honda can take undulations in its stride. The Showa-sourced 41mm front forks work well and the slightly on the softer side rear spring offers adjustment for pre-load too if you wish to wind it up a little. Braking is brilliant, although the force is distributed within very little lever travel for the radially-mounted front disc. This bike stops well and braking force is governed by an IMU-linked dual-channel ABS system, which brilliantly negates ABS chatter during hard braking. The only time we felt it was at the rear while putting the foot down on the pedal on an uneven surface.
Honda CB300R Performance & Fuel Efficiency
Now here's something which surprised us. Although the spec sheet did prepare us for it in a way. The liquid-cooled DOHC, 286cc engine cranks out 30.9 Bhp at 8,000 rpm and 27.4 Nm of torque at 6,500 rpm. Paired with the weight of a mosquito, the CB300R packs some serious fizz which shoots the cork once you twist the throttle.
Clutch action is super light, the 6-speed gearbox is super quick and precise and ratios are ideally matched to the well-spread power delivery of this engine. The injection system ensures power delivery is crisp and although initial delivery is great, it is beyond 4,000 rpm that things begin to put a smile on your face. After 6,000 rpm though, the bike shoots with great gusto towards its 11,000 rpm limiter and feels as quick as an Apache RR 310, just to put things in perspective. The ton mark comes up in about seven seconds and the CB300R can hit a top speed of somewhere between 150 to 160 km/h.
Being a big single, although this Honda engine is the smoothest (the RE 650 aside) between all its competitors (Read BMW, TVS, KTM and Bajaj), there is a mild buzz on the bars and the pegs once the engine crosses the 6,500 rpm mark. But it's just a mild buzz and nothing that will make you uncomfortable even during a long ride. Heat management is brilliant and even on a hot day and after inching forward in traffic for an hour, all that we felt was a little heat on our calves. In terms of fuel efficiency, riding fast within the city and redlining in lower gears dropped the efficiency to 23 km/l, while on the highway, the CB300R can easily breach the 40 km/l mark if ridden carefully.
Is the Honda CB300R For You?
At INR 2.41 lakh Ex-showroom, which translates to INR 2.87 lakh on the road in Mumbai, the Honda CB300R does carve a unique identity for itself. If you ask how? Well, it is styled uniquely, is powered by a smooth motor which loves to be thrashed, sounds fantastic while at it, feels built to last, is easy to live with, and all things considered, is a great all-around machine. If you are about to spend INR 3 lakh on a new motorcycle, don't let that spec sheet fool you. Do take a test ride of this machine. It might just surprise you with its charm.

Queen Rania of Jordan is battling ISIS on Twitter
One of the most powerful women on Twitter, Queen Rania is using social media as a force for good in the fight against extremism...
By Kate Gilbert
Away from the military battlegrounds in Syria, the war against ISIS and extremism is being fought on social media, pioneered by the thoroughly modern and fully online Queen Rania of Jordan.
Speaking in conversation with Arianna Huffington last night at The World Post's Future of Work conference, the monarch explained that the extremists are 'hijacking' Islamic narrative and are trying to 'drag us back to the Dark Ages,' and are using social media to do it.
'The same technology designed to create a more connected world, is being used to make fear and terrorism go viral,' explained Queen Rania Al Abdullah of Jordan.
The 44-year-old mother of four refers to herself as a 'virtual queen' and has a Twitter account with a following of 3.6 million, is on Instagram, Facebook and has a YouTube channel which she uses to great effect to promote her work in improving education and speaking out against extremism.
And it seems to be working; During the negotiations for the release of pilot Moaz al-Kasasbeh (who was horrifically burned alive in a cage for all the world to see), one of the militants' conditions for his release was that Queen Rania stopped all social media activity.
Moaz al-Kasasbeh's wife, Anwar Tarawneh, being comforted by Queen Rania after learning of her husband's death on Facebook
'You cannot kill an ideology with bullets, you can only kill it with a better idea.'
'We need to create an online tide against them by making our own content and own narrative,' Queen Rania said at the talk, attended by Lily Cole, Zaha Hadid, Princess Beatrice, Richard Desmond and Minister for Culture and communications, Ed Vaizey.
Hundreds of photos and videos of atrocities committed by the terrorist group, such as beheadings and mass executions including those of British and American journalists and aid workers, have been posted across social media platforms.
It is this viral element that is not only speeding up the size and scale of recruitment, explained Her Majesty, but it is also an effective weapon, polarising people on religious and cultural fault lines and turning it into the West's 'war against Islam'.
'It's what the extremists wants…I would love to drop the first 'I' in ISIS because there's nothing Islamic about them!...[But] it doesn't matter what they call themselves, it matters what we call them.'
The Queen has long encouraged Islamic people to post positive images of the Arab world on social media to readdress the balance of narrative, saying that although the military battle has to take place, it is not arms that will ultimately win the fight.
'We don't want our young people to just be inspired by crazy people with guns…[This is a] war between humanity and the people who have no respect for human life.'

Blocking drug database is deadly hypocrisy
By Mike Thomas
If you read newspapers, then you probably remember the '60s. The adults lectured us about the evils of marijuana while holding a Jim Beam in one hand and cigarette in the other.
That bit of hypocrisy pales compared with what kids are seeing out of Tallahassee.
But before getting into that, let's check out the latest stats on the Doper State.
In 2009, Florida dispensed more than a half-billion hits of oxycodone. That is triple the number from 2005.
It is almost one fix a day for every adult in the state. And this doesn't include methadone and all the other narcotics we dispense like Halloween candy.
Oxycodone kills more people in Florida than heroin, cocaine and morphine combined, according to the Florida Medical Examiners Commission.
Compared with 2008, heroin deaths dropped 20 percent in 2009 and cocaine deaths dropped 18 percent.
Oxycodone deaths increased 26 percent.
This is an epidemic for the ages. Doctors with prescription pads are a bigger threat to your kids than drug gangs in Mexico and Colombia.
This takes me to Gov. Rick Scott and House Speaker Dean Cannon.
In the old days, the drug dealers paid the cops for protection. In Florida, the politicians give it away for free.
They continue to oppose the best tool we have to fight this plague — a drug database that would track the flow of prescription narcotics.
Instead, they are offering up placebo cures.
For example, the House is pushing a bill that would ban doctors from selling the drugs. That sounds good, except the vast majority of drugs don't come from doctors' offices or pain clinics. More and more, it seems the docs simply write the prescriptions — a ticket to get high cashed in at a pharmacy.
Doctors and pain clinics only dispense about 16 percent of the oxycodone in this state.
Yet, a House bill championed by Cannon would spend $3 million to ensure all the narcotics are removed from these offices and clinics. We can't afford to waste $3 million on pretend solutions.
The bill also would allow only publicly traded pharmacies, or those with $100 million in taxable assets in Florida, or those that have been in business for 10 years, to sell the narcotics. This would give big corporations like Walgreens and CVS a monopoly and put smaller legitimate pharmacies at a huge disadvantage in competing with them.
This looks more like an attempt to enrich big corporate interests than an attempt to stop drug dealing.
Scott says he doesn't want taxpayers to have to fund the database. And then he announces a $800,000 strike force to target prescription-drug abuse. That's more than the database would cost.
In fact, the database funding so far has been covered by private donations and federal grants.
How many drug task forces have I seen in the past 40 years? How many have worked? How many millions of dollars have we spent arresting the odd bad doctor here and there while drugs continue to pour into the street?
The problem is doctor shopping. A druggie gets a prescription and then goes to another doctor for another one and then goes to a third doctor … until he has enough merchandise to feed his habit or sell on the street.
A drug database would log these transactions so they could be stopped.
The database targets the problem in the most cost-effective manner.
Opponents complain about privacy violations if hackers ever get into a state-run database. Cannon has cited a 2009 case in Virginia.
In fact, a hacker did get on the Virginia database site and posted a $10 million ransom demand to keep information quiet. Nothing ever came of it.
The drugs you use already are in somebody's database. Private companies are no better than the state at protecting digital information. Last year, hackers stole Walgreens' email marketing list.
Pretty soon, all your medical information is going to be stored and shared digitally, just like all your financial information. Hackers continually are attacking banks.
Long ago we put ourselves at the mercy of people who create firewalls.
A drug database is the least of our problems.
This is bad politics. It's bad public policy. It's beyond hypocritical for a political party that tells our kids to just say no.

A Proposed National Monument Could Prohibit Hunting on 1.4 Million Acres in California
If approved, the Range of Light National Monument would transfer a large swath of national forest to the management of the National Park Service
By Sage Marshall | Published Jan 13, 2023 4:00 PM

A proposed national monument would almost certainly restrict hunting access on a vast swath of public land in California. On December 15, Congress members Jackie Speier and Jerry McNerney introduced a bill that would designate 1.4 million acres of federal land as the Range of Light National Monument. According to the National Park Service (NPS), the Antiquities Act of 1906 gave Congress or the President the ability to designate national monuments "to protect archeological sites, historic landmarks, historic and prehistoric structures, and other objects of historic or scientific interest already on Federal lands."
However, local conservation groups have taken issue with the recent proposal. "The reason why this national monument proposal is problematic is that first and foremost, the process has circumvented the typical process for national monument creation," says Devin O'Dea, the California chapter coordinator for Backcountry Hunters and Anglers (BHA). "There has been no collaboration with stakeholders or any public process that includes hunters and anglers before lobbying the executive branch. This one bypasses all that."
But there is an even greater issue with the Range of Light National Monument proposal. Though most national monuments do not restrict hunting access, this one almost certainly would. "This legislation calls out that the monument would be administered by the NPS," says O'Dea. "This is a big problem because the NPS typically doesn't allow hunting on national monuments that they manage. It's pretty much the entire Sierra National Forest that they would eliminate hunting from. And that area is already right between two areas where you can't hunt—King's Canyon National Park and Yosemite National Park."
BHA often supports national monument designations—as long as they follow several tenets. For example, "the monument proclamation must clearly stipulate that management authority over fish and wildlife populations will be retained by state fish and wildlife agencies." According to BHA conservation director John Gale, most national monuments managed by the NPS prohibit hunting, with the exceptions of Katahdin Woods and Waters National Monument and Hagermann Fossil Beds National Monument. The defacto hunting ban on NPS-managed national monuments dates back to the National Park Service Organic Act of 1916.
It's not clear if the proponents of the Range of Light are specifically working to outlaw hunting in the area, but O'Dea says it's "a very good possibility" that they are. In a recent interview with Outside, Deanna Wulff, executive director of Unite the Parks, the group spearheading the monument designation, said that the potential monument would serve as "a wildlife refuge for animals."

According to O'Dea, the proposed monument would impact deer hunters, as well as turkey, small game, and upland game hunters. The bill's main sponsors, Representatives Speier and McNerney, have both left Congress and the proposal is not an imminent threat unless someone reintroduces it. In the meantime, conservation groups like BHA are working to raise awareness of the issues of the bill.
Additionally, the BHA California Chapter is working on a related issue. The designation of Castle Mountains National Monument in 2016 limited hunting opportunities in the Mojave Desert because it is managed by the NPS. O'Dea is optimistic that his organization can work with legislative partners to soon spur the transfer of the national monument to the Mojave National Preserve, which would return hunting access to the area.

Hi, quick and simple question: how can I let the desktop redraw the showed bitmap? I know how to use GetDesktopWindow and how to send messages to a window. And because I named the background bitmap "ThisFileShouldEndUpInTheWindowsRegistryOnlyOnce.bmp", I also know what key is responsible for the filename of the displayed image as Wallpaper. InvalidateRect and SendMessage(WM_PAINT,...) didn't work. The application is simple: I have got a number of images of female wannebee singers and want to let them appear on the desktop, but no longer than 10 minutes each. This will help me through those lonely nights behind the computer when I should be out, meeting real people. ;) Anyway, google wasn't very helpful and I couldn't find anything on this forum. So, can you help me? Thanks up front!

Seagoville, Texas is a city located mostly in Dallas County, with a small portion extending into Kaufman County. Founded in 1876 by T.K. Seago, an area land and business owner, the plot of land had to first be cleared of dense forest before he could build his store. Operating as a small general store, the shop carried no more than $200 worth of dry goods and groceries, which he sold to other residents of the Seagoville area. In addition to being a store owner, Seago was also the local postmaster in Seagoville, a post he maintained until about 1883 when he relocated to Comanche, Texas. While living in Texas, Seago served in the Texas Legislature representing Comanche County.
While the early economy was very agriculturally dependent after Mr. B.F. Peak built a cotton gin, Seagoville did have its own newspaper in the early 1900s; the Seagoville Star (later known as the Seagoville News). While the town was originally named "Seago," it was discovered in the early 1900s that there was another Texas town called, "Sego." In an effort to avoid confusion, the U.S. Post Office renamed the town Seagoville in 1910. The city of Seagoville was officially incorporated in 1926.


"concerned with divine worship, the due performance of sacrifices, public and private, and the interpretation of ritual questions: a great number of young men gather about them for the sake of instruction and hold them in great honor. In fact it is they who decide in almost all disputes, public and private; and if any crime has been committed, or murder done, or if there is any dispute about succession or boundaries, they also decide it, determining rewards and penalties…" Gallic War 6,13.
Since they left no written records of their own, what little we know about the Druids comes to us second-hand through the writings of Caesar and some contemporary writers. Of course, we have to remember that Caesar was a foreign invader and we have no archeological artifacts that can be documented as having clear links to Druids, so we have to take some of his writings with a grain of salt.
Caesar further described the Druids as a inter-tribal brotherhood, and that the annually met in some sacred location in Gaul where they discussed important issues and elected a Chief Druid. Although they were exempted from military service, it seems they were not above some conflicts, as there is some mention of disputed elections breaking down into fighting among themselves.
Classical writings refer to the Druids being in Britain and Gaul, but not other areas of continental Europe. Caesar claimed that Druidic novices were sent from Gaul to Britain for the best training, and some scholars speculate that Druidism may have originated in the British Isles and spread from there. Caesar's description of the training involved as much as twenty years of study, memorizing a huge number of verses, laws, histories and other traditions. Therefore the picture we often have of Druids as elders with gray beards is probably misleading, as the order must have included younger novices and "journeymen" who were still in the process of learning.

Seeking cash long after predators escape
We should all want to see rapists put where they can't hurt more people, and bishops and other authorities who knew but let them get away with it fired, at least. And victims deserve compensation. But who pays?
Pennsylvania Attorney General Josh Shapiro speaks during a Democratic campaign rally in Chalfont, Pa., Saturday, Nov. 3, 2018. The event includedRead moreErin Blewett
by Joseph N. DiStefano | Columnist
The situation is, as they say, fluid. But for now it looks as if the quiet archbishop has gotten his way, over the prophet-loud prosecutor, in the fight over how best to proclaim justice with church cash.
Three months after the thousand-page report on priestly rapes, child molestation, and cover-ups in six Pennsylvania Catholic dioceses by state Attorney General Joshua Shapiro and his grand jury, six of the state's eight dioceses have followed their New York and Boston counterparts in setting up victims' compensation funds, run by the people who distributed the 9/11 victim payments and other outsiders, to hear and pay hundreds of old claims against priests.
Shapiro's report was accepted, even by the bishops and Pope Francis, like the prophet Jonah's Godly threat against Nineveh: with self-disgust and professions of deep contrition. (Though it also provoked state-capital skepticism: "He wants to be governor, and nothing sells tickets like child abuse," a Democrat in Gov. Wolf's administration told me the day after the report went public.)
But that wasn't all. Shapiro acknowledged most of the accused were dead or beyond criminal prosecution. Bishops and Shapiro's predecessors had failed to bring them to justice. But his report also recommended going after their successors, by changing state law to allow victims' plaintiff lawyers to sue dioceses for damages, years after the fact. The church opposed that, state Senate leaders wouldn't act, and the dioceses are now handling claims their way.
In states like Delaware that "opened the window" to late claims, the result was a few ugly lawsuits in which victims won millions, then bankruptcy, years of costly litigation by plaintiff and defense lawyers, ending with across-the-board settlements splitting church assets to pay claims.
In the Delaware case, the liquidation of $50 million in church foundation money accompanied the shutdown of marginal Catholic schools, parishes, and social-services programs in rundown neighborhoods; some kids transferred to taxpayer-funded schools, socializing costs to the public. Millions more were paid by insurers, who also pass the expense to the public, as rate hikes and reinsurance. (But elite Catholic schools that actually faced abuse claims, like Joe Biden's old prep, went on to thrive, raising cash from tuition and wealthy donors.)
So if the bishops' funds work as advertised, maybe it's better if Shapiro failed in this attempt to get the law changed. The victims will get paid. Only the lawyers lost out.
And yet the perpetrators got away. We should all want to see rapists put where they can't hurt more people, and bishops and other authorities who knew but let them get away with it fired, at least. And victims deserve compensation. But who pays?
Shapiro's approach — after the bad son runs off, sue the family — is a popular response to social evils long ignored. Democrats are not the jail-em party, they are the sue-em party. The campaign on the church in its decline recalls other attempts to use civil lawsuits to collect, from people who didn't commit the offenses, after the perpetrators walked away.
It's like what President Barack Obama's Justice Department and regulators did with the banks that blew up the economy in 2008: they fined their remaining shareholders billions — after the individuals responsible for making and selling bad loans and foreclosures and lying about them had left, often to join private investment funds and build new fortunes.
It's like what cities do when the police we all depend on wrongfully shoot civilians: They pay out millions, at taxpayers' and insurers' expense — while the officers tend to keep working, and get their pensions.
It's like what Shapiro's attorney-general peers in other states want to do to the drug industry. Twenty years after drug companies spread lethal addiction by promoting opioid painkillers despite known dangers, the people's advocates are suing drug-makers and distributors, and demanding fat civil settlements — not from the executives, marketers, and consultants who boosted opioid availability — but from today's shareholders, America's pension funds and mutual funds.
An exception: the billionaire Sacklers, old-fashioned private owners who controlled Purdue Pharma in OxyContin's heyday and who remain in charge, have lately been sued by citizens and governments trying to hold them personally responsible for epidemic abuse of their products.
But at Purdue's corporate rivals, senior staff who steered America back toward mass opioid use are safely out of range. Carol Ammon, who led Endo Pharmaceuticals onto the road that made Endo's Opana one of OxyContin's most popular and most abused rivals, left the company with $200 million in stock options in 2006, and became a philanthropist: Her family name now adorns facilities at Philadelphia's Thomas Jefferson University and Wilmington's Christiana Care Health System; she is on the board of the state-supported University of Delaware.
Maybe these institutions will at least inherit a share of Ammon's millions. (When I called her to talk about this, she had Endo send me a statement noting she hadn't worked there lately and had no comment.)
Better act late than never, right? At least sue someone, as a warning to others?
Church governance still needs fixing. Too bad American bishops, and the pope, don't agree on what to do. Liberals want a reformed priesthood and lay oversight. Conservatives blame liberal tolerance, and say rigidly enforced celibacy will fix all.
While they bicker, schools and other institutions built by St. John Neumann and Cardinal Dougherty that Americanized millions of immigrants, helped some toward heaven, and saved taxpayers billions, continue in decline.
We should know what these men did and failed to do. But as prosecutors look for old wrongs to right in civil court, what new and ongoing evils are we ignoring? Who will be called to pay, after today's predators escape?

Pentagon releases sexual assault data by base, adds caution
United States troops have made nearly 26,000 reports of sexual assault over the last four years, with the highest number of complaints being filed from the Air Force.
The Department of Defense report details non-domestic abuse sexual assault allegations received and managed by Sexual Assault Response Coordinators at bases around the world.
DOD Reports of sexual assaults on.
The Department of Defense defines sexual assaults as adult sex-related crimes punishable under its Uniform Code of Military Justice.
In the report released on Friday, the Pentagon estimated that for the 2016 fiscal year, 32 percent of service members who experience sexual assault now report it, up from 25 percent in fiscal years 2014 and 2015.
"Service members can report allegations of sexual assault at any time and at any place". Campbell spokesman in a statement.
Sexual assault in the military has been the focus of some lawmakers in recent years. That number grew to 100 in 2014, 114 in 2015 and then 146 in 2016. During this time period, the Army transitioned from the Sexual Assault Prevention Response Program to the Sexual Harassment and Assault Response and Prevention Program, which changed reporting options to include restricted and unrestricted reports, placed embedded trained Victim Advocates and Sexual Assault Response Coordinators within unit footprints, increased accessibility of services to victims, implemented training and education regarding Sexual Assault and Harassment definitions and reporting processes.
Aston Martin reveals £3m Valkyrie AMR Pro
The majority (8,600) were carried out against women but men were the victims in more than 6,000 incidents, they said.
The Air Force and Navy were the only two that recorded an increase in reports. On May 1 of this year, Navy Rear Adm. Ann M. Burkhardt, Galbreath's boss, unveiled the Pentagon's Annual Report on Sexual Assault in the Military for fiscal 2016.
A restricted report is not referred for criminal investigation or to commanders and allows the service member who made it to seek confidential support, medical care and counseling.
The document, however, notes that the alleged assault may not necessarily have occurred where the report was made.
Regarding joint military installations, Joint Base San Antonio in Texas - comprising Army, Navy and Air Force operations - numbered 881 sexual assault reports, the highest in the period.
He said "A report could involve allegations for an incident that occurred while on deployment, while away on leave, or even prior to entering the military".
