Rebecca Johnson of the Acronym Institute explains that the Nuclear Weapons Convention fulfills the NPT at a special Review Conference session for NGOs on May 7. 2010.
Mr President, Your Excellencies, Distinguished Delegates and Colleagues,
In their second Wall Street Journal article of January 2008, Henry Kissinger, George Shultz, Sam Nunn and William Perry liken the goal of a world free of nuclear weapons to "the top of a very tall mountain". They see it as desirable and recognise the necessity of climbing to higher ground as there are too many dangers inherent in either staying where we are or, worse still, sliding back down into proliferation chaos. But to them, the goal and the route to get there are both out of sight. We agree that the dangers of clinging to the status quo are far greater than the challenges of climbing towards disarmament, but we think humanity is closer to achieving the summit than the cold warriors have realised.
In fact, we are so confident that the objective of a nuclear-weapons-free world is reachable in our lifetimes (and many of us are older than President Obama!) that we can envision ourselves at the summit, looking back at the path we took to get here, and realizing that the difficulties, while formidable, were overcome with persistence, creative problem solving, and flexibility to find different ways when paths we were following became obstructed.
There are better ways than carrying on up the steps bequeathed by the old map of cold war arms control and non-proliferation in isolation from disarmament. The security environment is changing, the cold war fogs are clearing, and we should recognise that where we reach in 2010 will give us the vantage point from which to survey the options and determine the optimum route to bring us to the goal in a safe, secure and timely manner. On any such journey, we are likely to encounter obstacles and perils along the way. A prevailing belief in nuclear weapons for deterrence is one such near-term obstacle.
Reducing the role and value accorded to nuclear weapons in military doctrines and security policies are therefore essential measures to take now. We are helped by the knowledge that a world without nuclear weapons must be a safer place than the one we inhabit now, not least because a single mistake with nuclear weapons could prove uniquely catastrophic. We're human, so mistakes happen – made by militaries and political leaders as well as by the rest of us.
Nuclear weapons emerged out of the bloodiest century in human history, during which almost every part of the world suffered wars driven by nationalism, greed for resources or land, and fear or hatred of other people. These conflicts have often been framed in terms of clashing religions or cultures. They have been carried forward with distorted notions of power and the masculine fighting role, fuelled by arms manufacturers and pushers of guns, bombs, and destructive arms of all kinds. Abolishing nuclear weapons will not of itself solve these problems, and human security requires that we reduce reliance on other weapons, too. We have to move away from old patterns of aggressive national security approaches and build better tools for collective human security, including "soft power" means of cooperative humanitarian engagement.
Solving these endemic security problems, which have haunted human history, cannot and must not be a precondition for nuclear disarmament. As President John F. Kennedy told the UN General Assembly in 1961, it is simply not credible to "maintain that disarmament must await the settlement of all disputes" or that "the quest for disarmament is a sign of weakness". At the same time, it is clear that solving the political, technical and security challenges of abolishing nuclear arms will be made more difficult if some countries seek to control, manage or terrorise others with space-based technologies or
conventional arsenals with mass destructive capabilities. Too often governments agree to ban a weapon only when they have created something to do the same military job more cheaply, destructively or efficiently. Challenging and overcoming such a mindset will have to be part of the negotiating process.
But if we postpone the elimination of nuclear weapons until the world has achieved some ideal threshold of peace and stability, we will get neither disarmament nor security. If we get to work now on eradicating these uniquely powerful, indiscriminate and inhumane weapons, other changes will inevitably be part of the process. The nuclear-free world is not going to be today's world minus atomic weapons. Abolishing war is an even higher mountain top, and will require a lot more climbing for the human race; but at least we will have reached the point of avoiding radioactive catastrophe and we will be able to make paths towards reducing conflict and enhancing human security, which includes tackling climate chaos and avoiding environmental disaster. A world without nuclear weapons will make a good base camp for continuing the climb.
This is how we should understand Article VI's ultimate injunction to pursue general and complete disarmament: not that there must be complete global disarmament before the nuclear arsenals can be eliminated, as some of the nuclear-weapon states seem to assert, but that in moving towards the abolition of nuclear weapons we need to tackle the causes of instability and insecurity, including coercive military force and the possession, trafficking and use of other types of weapons.
Negotiations on the reduction and elimination of nuclear arsenals are not discretionary; they are required by Article VI, which mandates that the negotiations are to be conducted in good faith and in accordance with international law. And they must be brought to conclusion, as the International Court of Justice unanimously advised.
As any climber will tell you, the destination and the journey are equally important. Nuclear disarmament is both a destination and a process; and a multilateral treaty – some kind of framework or comprehensive nuclear weapons convention that will codify in law and practice both the prohibition of the acquisition and use of nuclear weapons and also the safe and secure elimination of existing arsenals – has aspects of both. Getting to the right destination will require paying careful attention to the verifiable dismantlement and elimination of the existing warheads and delivery vehicles and to making
sure the fissile materials and other components are disposed of or stored so that they cannot be stolen, reacquired or used for weapons in the future. All this must be done in ways that minimize the hazards for the environment and our health, and provide confidence against cheating, break-out and the acquisition of nuclear weapon capabilities by terrorist governments or actors in the future.
At the 2009 PrepCom for this Review Conference, we recommended to you that a Nuclear Weapons Convention negotiated in good faith by the international community is "required to achieve the nuclearweapons-free world envisioned by the NPT." Achievement of such a treaty remains the central aim, and a key rallying point, of most international NGOs working in this field, and we are pleased to report to you today that support for such a Convention is growing around the world, and we thank those of you that have come to this Review prepared to discuss the merits of a comprehensive framework for nuclear disarmament and to set out – together with your citizens and international civil society – on this difficult but necessary trek to the top of the mountain.
As noted by Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon, the Model Nuclear Weapons Convention submitted to you in 2007 is "a good point of departure". This draft, initiated more than 15 years ago by civil society scientists, lawyers and practitioners, was developed as a resource, in the knowledge that once real negotiations begin, the multilateral outcome could look quite different. Recent treaty-making history shows that civil society participation will be essential for the success of such negotiations, and we are prepared to support you with our expertise and experience, and to urge you on when the road gets
rough. The 1997 NGO model draft, updated and published as "Securing our Survival" in 2007, gives a careful and thought-provoking overview of the issues that will help as they come to be addressed in actual negotiations.
The challenge for us today is to get started on this process to achieve "the peace and security of a world without nuclear weapons" that President Obama and many others have called for. One way is for a group of nations and representative experts to come together and work out the practical and diplomatic means to prepare the way for negotiating a nuclear weapons convention. Such discussions are already happening in capitals and in the margins of meetings at the UN in Geneva, New York, Vienna and around the world. NGOs have been meeting with their governments to hold informal dialogues about
the merits of a convention, and are finding increasing levels of interest in and support for the substantive ideas contained in the Model NWC and other thoughtful analyses.
These preliminary discussions, which we urge you to continue and refine at this Review Conference, will help assess the pros and cons of existing negotiating fora and other options for convening negotiations. Development of a fast track process would come next, with preparations structured so as to draw all the nuclear-armed states – non-NPT as well as the P-5 – into negotiations sooner rather than later. Sometimes – as when the Partial Test Ban Treaty, the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty, and even the NPT were negotiated – it is necessary to get started without all the relevant states on board.
Experience suggests that once the process starts, most if not all the hold-out states decide to join negotiations before the endgame. And once the treaty is signed – even before it fully enters into force -its normative and legal impact will be to constrain everyone, whether they have formally acceded or not. While the non-nuclear-weapon states will no doubt provide early leadership, we hope that one or more nuclear-armed states will see the writing on the wall and join the driving group early in the process. President Obama has said he wants to provide such leadership, and we continue to hope that
Britain will decide to ditch the expensive mistake of Trident replacement, for which the UK has to rely on the United States, fulfil its pledge to be a "disarmament laboratory", and contribute its skills and expertise to making the nuclear-free world a reality. China, India and Pakistan have all voted in favour of a nuclear weapons convention in the General Assembly, so we look to them too to walk the walk as well as talking the talk.
Judging from their nuclear doctrines and statements, France and Russia currently appear the least likely to join a leadership group, but no one should forget how the Russian and French Presidents were the first to declare moratoria on nuclear testing in 1991 and 1992, thereby paving the way for CTBT negotiations! As for Israel… a nuclear-free Middle East would serve the interests of that conflict-ridden part of our planet, and working towards this regional objective will be mutually reinforcing as we also work for a nuclear-free world.
In history, a shock, crisis or significant political event has often provided the stepping stone for change. The 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis, for example, influenced the United States, the Soviet Union and Britain to finalise a Partial Test Ban Treaty and paved the way for the NPT. Undoubtedly, the use of a nuclear weapon somewhere in the world would provide a terrible shock and, if it did not escalate into nuclear war, could lead swiftly to global disarmament – but at what an appalling cost for the victims and for the world. Far better to create a responsible political shift now, before there is any further nuclear use or
It may be that there are different paths that can get us to the top of the mountain. At some stage, however, these will need to converge at a solid bridge for negotiations. Such a bridge is already being built by civil society – activists, mayors, lawyers, parliamentarians – and a growing number of governments. Learning from the Hibakusha survivors and from scientists and doctors who have studied the effects of nuclear weapon explosions, it has become clear that – no matter what the
justification, provocation or intention – nuclear weapon attacks and threats must become recognised in law as war crimes and crimes against humanity. Deterring aggression is a legitimate security objective, but a policy of deterrence constructed around so devastating and repugnant a weapon is indefensible.
The op-eds from the four cold war leaders changed the game by making it respectable to advocate nuclear disarmament. But from where they presently stand, they think the mountain top is too far away to be seen. If they moved slightly, in the direction of reducing the role and value accorded to nuclear weapons for deterrence, they would be able to see that what they thought were clouds obscuring a faraway mountain top was nothing more than a layer of cold war fog swirling around them and obscuring reality. They need to move a few steps further to reach the bridge that will devalue nuclear weapons and provide a crossover to nuclear abolition. From our vantage point already on the bridge, civil society can show you the legal and political footholds to assist you to climb above the fog to this bridge, from where the goal of a strong and comprehensive nuclear weapons treaty is clearly visible.
We do not underestimate the difficulties that will be encountered en route and cannot predict exactly when we will get there, as there will be many political, technical, verification and implementation challenges. Commitment and confidence in our ability to get to the nuclear-weapons-free destination before night falls again are essential. Making a start on the preparatory work for a nuclear weapons convention will mean courageous governments, elected representatives and citizens taking individual and collective initiatives that will hasten the journey and clear the obstacles from the path. Early steps will include removing nuclear reliance from deterrence doctrines and taking steps to universalise the legal recognition that any use of nuclear weapons would violate international law. Our route, timing and even humanity's survival will depend on whether we can commit and resource ourselves for this journey now. This NPT Review Conference needs to agree on the treaty destination and set in motion the preparatory process and plans to get there as quickly as humanly possible.
Recommendation: States parties are encouraged to include support for a nuclear weapons convention in their statements and working papers to the 2010 NPT Review Conference and to do their utmost to achieve recognition in any final document or disarmament decision of the need to commence preparatory work leading to negotiations on a universal nuclear weapons convention or framework treaty for the sustainable, verifiable, and enforceable abolition of nuclear weapons worldwide.

Nika Mühl, still bitter about Arizona loss, feels like a freshman again
After a bizarre freshman year, Mühl is looking forward to a more normal college experience as a sophomore.

Nika Mühl didn't have the type of impact she hoped for in the NCAA Tournament. In UConn's first game against High Point, the freshman guard rolled her ankle and needed to be helped off the court. She missed the next three games and clearly wasn't herself even after returning in the Final Four.
After the season ended, Mühl returned home to Croatia and decided to give her ankle some time to heal. At least, she tried to.
"When I got home I took a week off from my ankle and then I said, 'That's enough,'" she said with a laugh. "[After that] I was in the gym the whole day, every day until I came here."

Even though she wasn't at full strength for it, the Arizona loss weighed on Mühl during the offseason. She felt like the team had a collective off night and squandered all the work they'd put in throughout the long, grueling season. This was her motivation for getting back into the gym quickly.
"I just want to get better for my team, honestly," Mühl said. "I don't want to lose like that next year."
Over three months later, Mühl can still feel the emotion of the postgame locker room. In fact, the loss is still too painful for her to rewatch.
"Honestly, I didn't watch it," she said. "I know Coach is gonna hear this and he's not gonna like it but I refuse to watch that game, I just didn't watch it. I'm gonna watch it eventually but I'm not ready for it yet. I'm not ready."

Even though Mühl is entering her sophomore year with the Huskies, she has a lot more in common with the freshmen than the juniors or seniors. Because of the pandemic, there were no summer workouts, the season began later and had fewer games. The team also couldn't really go anywhere besides the gym or their apartments and took all of their classes online.
Mühl barely even knows her way around campus.
"I don't know where what is. I know where Starbucks is, I know where the library is, that's it," she quipped.
It was about as bizarre of a freshman year as one can have. Now that the players are all vaccinated and restrictions have eased up, the Husky sophomores will finally get their first taste of normal college life. Even though Mühl is grateful for what she went through as a freshman, she's looking forward to what lies ahead.
"I'm very happy that last year was like it was because I feel like it was a very unique experience — although, with all the challenges and everything, of course, it was a terrible year for many reasons — but I wouldn't change it," Mühl said. "This year, it's like 'You're a freshman again.'"
Mühl might feel like a freshman but she also understands the expectations on her will be higher this year. Last season, Auriemma often mentioned that he just wanted Mühl to bring energy — anything else was a bonus. Even though UConn is returning all but a couple of players from last year's roster, it's fair to assume Mühl will be asked to take on a bigger role, especially when it comes to ball-handling and defense.
At the same time, the addition of a top-ranked freshman class that features two guards will make minutes even harder to come by this season. That could mean Mühl might have to do more while playing less, but as long as the team is winning it's all good for her.
"I think each of us has to fight this year. [...] the important thing for us is to just win," Mühl said. "Your participation can be 30 minutes, 20 minutes, 10 minutes, zero minutes, it's just what you bring, whether that's energy, scoring, anything. So you just got to find your little role in which you can help our team win and I think we're all going to be fine with it."
If a couple of weeks of summer workouts are any indication, Mühl believes not only is she already better than last year, the entire team has taken a step forward as well.
"It's different vibes this year. You can tell people are mad. You can tell they need redemption. We need redemption — unfinished business as E[vina Westbrook] said," Mühl declared. "I feel like [Geno's] pretty happy with where we're at now. He was very happy with our summer session."

Participants can also become more skilled at writing business cases, proposals and reports, and learn a bit more about e-mail etiquette.
The Three C's All writing should be clear, concise, and correct. We will look at these three elements in detail during this session and practice each of them.
Grammar and Writing Mechanics This session will outline seven easy ways to help participants simplify their writing and ensure their grammar is correct. Participants will also take a close look at the proper length of paragraphs, what a paragraph should contain, and how to order paragraphs.
Determining Readability During this session, you will help participants use the readability test (also called the Gunning Fog Index) on their own work.
Writing Letters There are twelve important parts to a business letter, and several different styles. We will examine all of these closely. We will also look at the proper way of folding a letter and placing it into an envelope.
Dealing with Specific Requests Often people are asked to respond to a request for information or to write a particular letter (of recommendation, for example). We'll discuss some tips to keep in mind when writing one of these particular documents.
Business Documents Another common task is to write a business case, request for proposal, or a formal report. Where would you start? We will provide some guidelines and checklists that will help with these tasks.

Hope shattered for vaquita survival as Sea Shepherd ship violently attacked by poachers in the Gulf of California, suffering damage from projectiles and Molotov cocktails while protecting world's most endangered marine mammal: the vaquita porpoise. Help us continue protecting the vaquita here.
On January 31st, the M/V Farley Mowat was violently attacked by over 50 assailants on board 20 high-speed boats while conducting maritime conservation patrols inside the Vaquita Refuge in the Upper Gulf of California. A total of 52 skiffs were counted, the others attacking Navy boats in the area.
Molotov cocktails and projectiles, including lead weights and large stones, were hurled by the poachers, shattering windows and setting the side of the Sea Shepherd ship on fire. Sea Shepherd crew members fended the attackers off using emergency fire hoses while Mexican Navy soldiers and Federal Police stationed on board opened fire into the air and sea to deter the attackers.
The captain of the M/V Farley Mowat carried out anti-piracy maneuvers. When hailed by radio by the Mexican Naval Frigate Barrera, the M/V Farley Mowat set course towards the vessel stationed inside the Refuge for increased safety. Two Navy Defender inflatable boats also closed in on the scene and were attacked by the poachers. Despite the violence of the assault, no one was injured.
This is the second attack Sea Shepherd has faced this season, occurring within only 21 days of the first. So far, no arrests have been made.

The data generated from this game will help us to test a number of different theories related to the "moth's" camouflage, and how people learn to overcome specific camouflage strategies. The prey take the form of triangles (similar to the shape of moths which often rest on tree bark), with patterns and grey levels that are designed to match their backgrounds. In each game no two moths are alike, which allows us to investigate the general properties of their camouflage and prevents people learning to find one specific moth. We can then assess how the moth's appearance interacts with its background to influence capture times.


Undergoing foot surgery can be a painful procedure that requires an extended recovery time. When foot surgery is done correctly though, and the recovery period is respected, the results can be very restorative to your overall health. Here are a few basic guidelines to keep in mind that will help the recovery process go smoothly and decrease the likelihood of complications arising during the recovery process.
It can be tempting to take the minimum amount of required rest time after having foot surgery because you want to get back to living your life. However, if you want to enjoy a higher quality of life in the long-term, it is worth it to sit on the sidelines for a few days and really allow your body to heal.
Take the maximum amount of time off from work and responsibilities that your doctor recommends. It is better to give your body more time to heal than less. Before you go in for surgery, arrange for assistance during those vital first post-operation days.
If you have family and friends that live nearby, or live with a partner or family, set up a schedule so that you always know who will be on hand to assist you. If you have personal responsibilities that have to be taken care of, such as taking care of pets, see if someone will come to your house and take care of your pets.
If you don't have lots of family and friends nearby to help out, arrange for outside assistance to fill in the gaps. Board your pets for a few days so you don't have to take care of them. Hire a landscaping company or a neighbor to take care of your yard and garden. Make sure that you reduce your responsibilities, especially because you are generally supposed to put no weight on your foot following your surgery.
If your doctor instructed you to not put any weight on your foot, make sure that you follow their directions. That also means that you need to pay attention to how you place your foot when you are sitting down. You should not allow your foot to just dangle off a chair. Instead, you should have your foot propped up so that your foot and leg muscles really don't have to do any work at all. Elevate your foot on the couch or with a stool if you are sitting in a chair. Additionally, place a pill under your heel to really take the pressure off your foot.
If your doctor instructed you to ice your foot or any part of your leg after your surgery, make sure that you are icing it correctly. You should never put ice directly against your skin, as it can damage your skin cells.
Instead, you should place ice inside of a bag, and then wrap that bag with a towel. This will allow the coldness to come through without damaging your skin. Additionally, if possible, you should use crushed ice instead of ice cubes. Crushed ice adjusts to the contours of your body and more effectively cools your body; ice cubes don't provide the same type of coverage.
Be sure to follow the time constraints that your doctor recommends for icing. Do not ice longer than your doctor recommends; your doctor knows what they are doing.
If your doctor provided you with crutches, a knee walker or a seated scooter to take the weight off as your body heals, make sure that you use these aids for as long as possible. These aids will allow your body to heal. If you are not sure how to use these aids properly, ask your doctor how to demonstrate how to use them before you go in for surgery.
Make sure that you discuss with your doctor everything you need to do to recover successfully from foot surgery before you undergo the operation so you can prepare effectively for your recovery period. Give yourself as much time as possible to heal, and always use any aids that your doctor suggests to assist in your recovery process.

Redmi about to launch SmartBand in India on September 8.
Image Credit: twitter.com
Xiaomi Mi band has been one of the most popular fitness bands and now their sub-brand Redmi is going to launch a new Smart band in India on September 8, 12 PM (IST). The information was given through the official Redmi channel on Twitter. It will be the first smart band to be released under the Redmi brand. The same device was launched in China in April this year. It is very likely that the company will be launching the same device with almost the same kind of specs.
Although the company has not shared any kind of technical specification about the product, they have only confirmed the launch date. If we consider the same Redmi Smart Band that was launched in China in April this year, the price of that device was somewhere around Rs 1,100. If the price remains the same, other fitness band companies in the same category could see some really serious competition. The company simply added an event page on the Mi website with the title "What's your score?", which one can easily presume is a fitness score. It might also be a new feature of measuring one's fitness through a score.
The page also teases colorful straps in the color green, blue, and red. Other features it teases about are long battery life, water-resistance, and heart rate monitoring with a lightweight build. The expected battery life could be anywhere between 15-20 days, which would meet their claim of long battery life.

Home > Do It Yourself > Dynamic Headphones > Article: What dynamic headphones are
What dynamic headphones are
What they are
The dynamic driver is the most common type used in headphones. This principle consists of a magnetic element attached to a thin diaphragm, which is often a paper material. The diaphragm is actuated by a voice coil, oscillating it and inducing vibrations into the air producing sound. The magnetic element in headphones are often composed of ferrite, mostly in lower-end or very cheap headphones. Stronger neodymium magnets are used in most modern headphones.
Dynamic headphones are available in every form from lightweight foldables to heavy-duty studio monitors. Also called moving coil types, they have transducers that are basically miniature loudspeakers, with diaphragms connected to a central voice coil that moves within a magnetic field generated by permanent magnets. This type can be very efficient and is easily powered from a standard headphone jack on a receiver or other component. Dynamic headphones are also very dependable and are the most common type of headphone in recording studios and the field than other types.
A headphone (also known as earphone, stereophone, headset) is a transducer that receives an electrical signal from a media player or receiver and uses speakers placed in close proximity to the ears (hence the name earphone) to convert the signal into audible sound waves.
They are normally detachable, using a jack plug. Typical products to which they are attached include the walkman, mobile phone, CD player, MP3 player, and personal computer. Some headphone units are self-contained, incorporating a radio receiver. Other headphones are cordless, using radio (e.g. analogue FM, digital bluetooth, WiFi) or infrared signals to communicate with a "base" unit.
Headphones may be used to prevent other people from hearing the sound either for privacy or to protect others. They are also used to exclude external sounds, particularly in sound recording studios and in noisy environments.
Generally headphones can be divided into two categories, closed and open. Closed headphones isolate background noise better, while open headphones offer a more "open" sound. Typically open headphones will sound better than similarly priced closed headphones.
They can also be divided into two other categories being electrostatic and dynamic. There is also rumour that there will be a ribbon headphone available soon.
Using headphones at a sufficiently high volume level causes temporary or permanent hearing impairment or deafness. Other risks arise from the reduced awareness of external sounds and some jurisdictions regulate the use of headphones while driving vehicles. Also, most European countries have imposed high penalties since 2002 on drivers not using a headset while operating a mobile phone in a car, to ensure that drivers keep their hands on the vehicle's controls.
Headphones generally use a 3.5mm "mini pin" jack


Either you are going to a business meeting with a new contact or a job interview, people will Google you first anyway. Data shows that more than 90% of people today use the Internet to search for the information about a person before they even have a chance to meet them.
People will check your online social media profiles, website, background, and anything that comes up on Google or other search engines when they type your name into the search box. It only takes 1 minute, and people at the key positions in the business world are smart enough to take that moment to research you.
To achieve business or career success, you need to make sure that your online profiles demonstrate a strong and clear image of you, your background, and experience.
Personal branding is such a powerful tool that if you do it successfully, you will never run out of clients or stay without a job. By human nature, we like to do business with people we know, like and trust.
The bigger your personal brand is, the more people will trust you, the easier it will be for people to find you, the more clients and opportunities you will attract. And as you get to serve more people who will find you easily and be attracted to you because of your branding, the more you can charge for your time and the higher revenue you make.
Your personal brand is your online footprint showing how people perceive you today online and offline. All the things people find about you when they Google you or check your social media profiles shape your personal brand. All the things people say about you represent your personal brand.
All the products, services, and value you give to the world are also a part of your personal brand. Your personal brand is your online resume.
What you need to ask yourself is what message does your brand give to the world about you?
Right now go online and Google yourself. What comes up is your personal brand.
However, if you are out there running a business or are in the job market, people are going to search for you online whether you like it or not, and anything they find that is lurking around the Internet is what you represent. This is the reality of the marketplace today to which we need to adapt.
As Gary Vaynerchuk says, 'You need to market yourself in the year you live in.' So personal branding is actually your only option.
Your reputation online is pretty much the game in today's business world. If you have created any online profile or commented on someone else's blog, you already are a personal brand whether you like it or not.

Indian Air Force's missing AN-32 with 13 onboard still not located, search operations on
C-130J and the ground patrols of the Indian Army are still carrying out the search and rescue operations.
IAF AN-32 aircraft
Engagements322
Over twelve hours after the Indian Air Force's AN-32 transport plane with 13 people onboard went missing near China border, it has still not been located. C-130J and the ground patrols of the Indian Army are still carrying out the search and rescue operations.
The aircraft had gone missing after it got airborne from Jorhat in Assam at around 1225 hrs for Menchuka Advance Landing Ground in Arunachal Pradesh. It was reportedly carrying 13 people on board. No signs of wreckage have been reported yet.
The Menchuka Landing field is located near the China border in Arunachal Pradesh. Out of the 13 members on board, 8 are crew members while 5 are passengers. AN-32 is described as IAF's workhorse with a maximum cruise speed of 530km/hr and capacity of carrying 39 paratroopers and 5 crew members. It is a medium tactical transport aircraft of Russian origin with a twin-engine turboprop.

The Airforce had launched a search operation and Sukhoi-30 combat jet and C-130 Special Ops aircraft were deployed for locating the disappeared IAF AN-32 Aircraft. According to the reports, the aircraft last contacted ground control at 1 PM, after which there has been no communication with the aircraft.
A similar case of IAF AN-32 disappearance had occurred in July 2016. The transport aircraft carrying 29 people on board had mysteriously disappeared after it took off from the Chennai air base and was heading towards Andaman and Nicobar Islands. Radar contact with the plane was lost after an hour after the aircraft took off. Indian Airforce launched a widescale search operation over the sea to locate the disappeared aircraft but it was never found. The search operations were called off in September 2016.
The Antonov An-32 is a twin-engined turboprop military transport aircraft, manufactured by the Soviet era Antonov, which is currently based at Ukraine. India was its launch customer and 125 planes were purchased by the country, out of which around 105 are still in service. The planes were upgraded few years ago, extending its service life.

Abdallah, although a conservative politician, saw independence as a "regrettable necessity," given the unsatisfactory level of French support and the growing alienation of an increasingly radicalized younger generation. The violent suppression of a student demonstration in 1968 and the death of Said Mohammed Cheikh in 1970 provided further evidence of the erosion of the existing order. In 1972 leaders of the Parti Vert (now the UDC) and the Parti Blanc (now the RDPC) agreed to press for independence, hoping at the same time to maintain cordial relations with France. A coalition of conservative and moderate parties, the Party for the Evolution of Comoros (Parti pour l'Évolution des Comores), was in the forefront of the independence effort. The coalition excluded Pasoco, which it perceived as violently revolutionary, but it cooperated for a time with Molinaco. During 1973 and 1974, the local government negotiated with France, and issued a "Common Declaration" on June 15, 1973, defining the means by which the islands would gain independence. Part of the backdrop of the negotiations was a proindependence riot in November 1973 in Moroni in which the buildings of the Chamber of Deputies were burned. A referendum was held on December 22, 1974. Voters supported independence by a 95 percent majority, but 65 percent of those casting ballots on Mahoré chose to remain as a French department (see The Issue of Mahoré, this ch.).

Earlier in the week I had a bit of time in between appointments, so decided to take Pepe to Bayfront Park on Longboat Key. I admittedly do not take as much time as I should to explore all the amazing parks our area has to offer.
Some of the amenities found at Bayfront Park Recreation Center are a 1,350 square foot activity room, basketball court, shuffleboard courts, picnic tables, playgrounds, a multi-purpose ball field for soccer and softball, and pickle-ball and tennis courts. There is also a dog park on the premises, which was my main reason for stopping by.
I then did a quick stop by Bird Key Park, which features Bicycles Trails, Canoe Launch, fishing pier, hiking trails, a pet friendly park, picnic facilities and more.
Local to the area? Make a point to explore more that our area has to offer. We live in paradise and many of us get in the routine of taking our amazing area for granted.

Democrats Destroyed The GOP In Last Night's Senate Races
Democrats won a commanding array of battleground races to control the upper chamber of Congress last night.
Prior to the election, the Senate had 51 Democrats, 2 Independents who caucused with the Democrats, and 47 Republicans.
There were 33 seats up for election this cycle, and the Democrats over-performed and have now made their slim majority stronger. The score so far?
54 Democrats — 45 Republicans — 1 Independent
It's widely speculated that the newly-elected independent, Angus King of Maine, will caucus with the Democrats, This would bring the final score to 55 Democrats to 45 Republicans.
In one of the major upsets of the night, Elizabeth Warren beat Sen. Scott Brown to win the Massachusetts Senate seat.
Republicans didn't have a net gain of the four seats they needed to assume control, and in fact did a lot worst than many people expected. Take a look at these battleground elections, with ratings determined using evaluations from The New York Times and the Cook Political Report.

High Rises In The News
Posted on June 11, 2021 by Venturi
Though the residents of Manhattan across the continent or those living in Chicago on the southwest shore of Lake Michigan would laugh at the thought that the Inland Empire is home to high rise buildings, and dismiss most of the structures in this region as falling below the standard for mid-rises, by local standards there are a smattering of tall buildings scattered about 20,105-square mile San Bernardino County.
The county seat, San Bernardino, accounts for the most tall buildings in the county and claims the title of having the greatest number of overall stories, as well, along with four of the six tallest structures, although not the actual tallest building. Loma Linda, Redlands, Rancho Cucamonga, Ontario and Victorville have a few tall buildings, and in Upland, where in recent years some three story residential units have sprung up, a seven-story building is to grace the skyline near the 210 Freeway in the not-too-distant future.
In recent weeks and days there have been developments with regard to existing and proposed high rises that merit public attention.
In April, the Redlands Planning Commission made a recommendation that Village Partners Ventures LLC be allowed to transform the largely vacant 11.15-acre Redlands Mall, which formerly hosted the Harris' department store, into a melange of mixed-uses including residential, retail, office professional quarters, restaurants, recreational facilities and a six-story parking structure around a pedestrian plaza and swimming pool, with multi-story residential buildings of three, four and five vertical levels.
In September, the grassroots group Friends of Redlands, working in conjunction with Redlands for Responsible Growth Management, began gathering signatures to force a vote on what the allowable height limit on Redlands buildings is to be. The proposed Friends of Redlands' initiative calls for disallowing buildings taller than two stories next to single-story homes without the consent of the owner of the single-story home, limiting the height of buildings downtown, which involves the University of Redlands Transit Villages Area, to no more than 50 feet, and the permitting of buildings to a height of no more than 62 feet – tantamount to four stories – in the New York Street/ESRI Transit Village Area. The initiative would further require that the city council unanimously approve making any density intensifications on projects, and it would layer greater parking provision requirements on developers seeking project approvals. To qualify the initiative for the ballot in 2022, the petitioners needed ten percent of Redlands' 42,000 voters to affix their signatures to the ballot application. To force the election to be held this year, within 109 days of the requisite number of signatures being verified, Friends of Upland needs 15 percent of the city's voters – 6,409 – to sign the petition.
On Monday, June 7, 2021, representatives with Friends of Redlands and Redlands for Responsible Growth Management, including 95-year-old former Redlands Mayor Bill Cunningham, wheeled into Redlands City Hall three huge boxes containing petitions calling for a special election to stop tall and dense development to which 7,715 signatures were affixed. Those petitions were turned over to City Clerk Jeanne Donaldson.
One of the activists opposing development in Redlands, John Berry, told the Sentinel, "stopping hi-rise development is a huge — and visceral! — issue throughout Southern California. Since we started collecting signatures in September, we have heard from many residents from many SoCal cities who have expressed their frustrations and battles with developers and city councils ruining their cities. Only because of Redlands' Bill Cunningham fighting these battles since 1978 did Redlands ever become the city we love. Without him, Redlands would have become just another SoCal condo canyon city. Many people who've signed told us they moved to Redlands for its charm and small-town feel."
Donaldson is to count and verify the signatures to determine if the referendum on high rises will take place this year or next year.
Meanwhile, the City of Redlands, which for years has been seeking an economical way to deal with the overcrowded quarters in its police and fire departments, has arranged to purchase, for $500,000, an option on the Redlands Federal Bank Building built in 1981.
Reportedly, the option will lock in the city's opportunity to purchase the tallest building currently in Redlands, located at 300 East State Street downtown, for $16 million. The half million dollars paid to secure the option will go toward the purchase if the acquisition is made before the option's expiration. The building is large enough to house both the fire department administration and all of the police department, as well as parts or all of some other city departments.
In nearby Loma Linda, officials with the Loma Linda University Medical Center are striving toward securing the certificate of occupancy for the six additional stories that have been constructed on the existing medical center building, originally built with 11 floors in 1967. The current project has been ongoing since 2016. It is anticipated patients will be accepted into the new hospital quarters by September 2021, if all issues with regard to occupancy permits are resolved in a timely manner.
Existing facilities housed in the current medical center structure's round towers will be moved into the six new floors. This means an expansive new operating room suite and a significant increase in the number of intensive-care beds. Brand new and state-of-the-art cardiovascular labs, including ones providing all needed equipment and facilities for heart surgeries, will be housed in the expansion area, along with other surgical, perioperative and pre-operative suites.
Paralleling the expansion of the project is an upgrading of the hospital's seismic system, carried out by Turner Construction Company of New York City. The building foundation is now set upon 126 base isolators, huge springs which will allow the building to sway in what is predicated to be a 10.4 Richter Scale earthquake without buckling, collapsing or sustaining structural damage that would compromise the building's integrity. The most intensive earthquake on record was one in Chile in 1960 that reached 9.4 on the Richter Scale.
At 17 total stories, of which 16 are above ground to a height of 267 feet, the Loma Linda University Medical Center building is now the tallest hospital in earthquake-prone California, and San Bernardino County's tallest building.
In the City of San Bernardino, six-story City Hall remains vacant after nearly five years. It is unclear whether city officials there will seek to reclaim it by engaging in a seismic hardening of the facility or raze it.
In the early 1970s, San Bernardino officials committed to building a new City Hall in Downtown San Bernardino, on property reclaimed from a longstanding historic section of the city, where nearly a score of buildings had been demolished to undertake an urban renewal effort that was to include government-sponsored capital improvements entailing a new civic center.
César Pelli, a highly accomplished Argentine American architect who emigrated to the United States in 1952, married Diana Balmori, a landscape and urban designer, and became a naturalized U.S. citizen in 1964, was commissioned to design the edifice. Pelli was one of the world's leading architects, particular with regard to designing majestic buildings as well as some of the world's tallest structures, including the Petronas Twin Towers in Kuala Lumpur, which were for a time the world's highest buildings, as well as the World Financial Center complex in downtown Manhattan, Salesforce Tower in San Francisco, the Sao Paulo Corporate Towers, Xuzhou Central Plaza in Xuzhou, the Unicredit Building in Milan, and scores of others around the world.
In the early morning of February 9, 1971, the San Fernando Earthquake, also known as the Sylmar Earthquake, occurred in the west foothills of the San Gabriel Mountains. The unanticipated thrust earthquake had a moment magnitude of 6.5 or 6.7 on the Richter Scale. The quake did damage to the San Fernando Valley and other densely populated areas north of central Los Angeles, causing several buildings to collapse. This demonstrated the inadequacy of the building standards that had been put into place in California following the Long Beach Earthquake of 1933. California lawmakers acted quickly to develop legislation related to seismic safety, tightening construction standards.
Already at that point, architects and engineers had introduced the concept of incorporating rollers into the foundation of high rise buildings, which would allow the foundation to roll or shift with a seismic disturbance. Two decades later, rollers would be replaced by massive vertical springs in the foundations of large buildings. But San Bernardino City Hall had neither of those features. What is more, the contractor on the San Bernardino City Hall project would utilize pillars composed primarily of concrete, nearly a dozen of them, to support the building.
Rather than hold off on the construction of the building until the State of California formulated new standards based on data available from the Symar quake, San Bernardino city officials, rather irresponsibly, rushed to complete the city hall project before those standards were mandated by law.
Some 43 years after the completion of the project, then San Bernardino City Manager Mark Scott was informed that it is anticipated that a 7.0 magnitude or greater earthquake is likely to occur in Southern California within the foreseeable future. If such an event were to emanate from a point proximate to San Bernardino, Scott was told, the concrete pillars supporting the six-story City Hall structure would would be likely to powderize, and the building would collapse. Out of what he said was an abundance of caution, Scott ordered the building to be cleared of city operations. It has remained vacant ever since.
In Upland, developer Jeff Burum is working toward the completion of a seven-story residential structure. That project is not likely to be completed prior to 2025.

Where would you find six Triumph Italias in the same place at the same time? At the 24th annual South Central British Car Gathering held April 17-19 in Dobson, North Carolina, that's where!
Sponsored by the Triumph Club of the Carolinas, this 3-day event has grown to become one of the preeminent British car events in the Southeast. This year, the event had something for everyone, from the picturesque rallye on the Blue Ridge Parkway and parts and accessories auction on Friday to the tire squeals heard during the autocross on Sunday.
The six Italias, organized by Vintage Triumph Register Italia coordinator Tyrone Stoner, were the featured marque and one of the highlights of the event. These specially bodied cars based on the TR3 were designed by Michelotti and bodied by Vignale from 1959 to 1963. Approximately 300 were produced, although no one is quite sure! As far as we know, this was the largest accumulation of Italias in one place at one time since they left the factory. In addition to the Italias, there was an ultra-rare Michelotti-designed and Vignale-bodied Alfa Romeo 2000 that complimented these Anglo-Italian hybrids.
Altogether there were over 250 British cars on display during the show on Saturday. With the show taking place on the grounds of the beautiful Shelton Vineyards winery, the scenery was exquisite and as varied as the marques present. In addition to the more common MG's, Triumphs, Jaguars, and Austin-Healeys, there were Allards, Lotuses (Loti?), Sunbeams, TVR's, Mini's, Standards, Morgans, and even a Marcos vying for prizes and generally just enjoying a beautiful spring day in the Carolina mountains.
While the rallye on Friday afternoon could be challenging for those inclined to try to answer every question, Rallyemeister Ron Hassell prepared a beautifully scenic 50+ mile route through parts of both North Carolina and Virginia that had some scrambling for second gear up some of the twisting mountain roads.
Sunday saw about 30 brave participants autocross their cars around a course prepared by the new VTR Event Coordinator Jack McGahey. One notable participant was Dave Hutchison's Italia, pushed to the limit by Dave. Dave easily won the Italia class at the autocross!
The Triumph Club of the Carolinas would love to invite you to next year's event. Next year's event will be held April 16-18 in Dobson; for more information visit www.triumphclub.org.
"Feature Car", Triumph Italia 2000 Gran Turismo Coup'e celebrates the 50th Anniversary of the British/Italian masterpiece.
I want to express my appreciation to Tyrone Stoner and the organizers for inviting me and my 1960 Alfa Romeo, Vignale bodied Coupe to this wonderful British Auto event. It was an honor to be displayed among the rare Triumph Italias. I really enjoyed networking with the participants and spectators. Many wondered "What was an Italian car doing in a British show?" It was fun describing the characteristics of the Vignale coach builder.
I am a german owner of a TR Italia (Chassis-No. TS 70464 LCO, Body-No. 134), which was under restoration 3 years and now back on the road since last June.
I understood, in the US there is a Italia-Register/Club, and I would be more than pleased to be member of.
Could someone give me more infod about it?
we are a italian company witch product windshield for classic car.
now we have the rear windshield for triumph italia 2000.

Home News Deutsche Borse buys 360T for 725 million euros
Deutsche Borse buys 360T for 725 million euros
News July 26, 2015 —by Andrew Saks-McLeod 0
Germany's prominent execution venue Deutsche Boerse AG (FRA:DB1) has today announced that it will purchase compatriot FX trading platform 360T for 725 million euros.
According to a report today by Reuters, 360T is one of a series of multi-bank, multi-user platforms which have revolutionised foreign exchange trading over the past decade.
The report further states that according to various sources, Deutsche Boerse beat U.S. commodities and currency exchange operator CME Group Inc (NASDAQ:CME) in the auction to acquire the firm.
In June this year, LeapRate reported that Deutsche Bourse had begin to investigate the possibility of acquiring 360T.
At that time, LeapRate had stated that should Deutsche Boerse make a binding bid for 360T it would represent new frontiers and a move into OTC market segments with Forex as a specialization.
"Deutsche Boerse group regularly looks at external options for growth and follows up on them if they create value," a spokesman for Deutsche Boerse was quoted as saying in June 2014.
One week prior to that report, LeapRate had stated that U.S. private-equity firm Summit Partners was looking at selling the German based currency platform in a potential 600 million euro ($675 million) deal and had hired Jefferies to handle the sale. The figure reached at the final transaction has outstripped this initial estimate from last year.
When Summit Partners, which is the largest shareholder in 360T Group, closed on it's stake in the trading platform back in 2012, Scott Collins, a Managing Director of Summit Partners stated: "We are committed to supporting 360T's growth strategy both in FX and other adjacent financial markets, and we welcome the company's employees retaining a significant stake as part of the transaction."
Reuters today continued to explain that the deal is the biggest acquisition by Deutsche Boerse since the Frankfurt-based stock-exchange operator bought U.S. derivatives exchange ISE in 2007 for $2.8 billion. It is also the first large deal by the new Chief Executive Carsten Kengeter, who is targeting further acquisitions.
Mr. Kengeter is already in talks with Swiss Six Group to buy the remaining stakes in their index joint ventures Stoxx and Indexium. Over the last couple of years, several merger and acquisitions had failed, among others a planned tie-up with the New York Stock Exchange 2012.
Deutsche Boerse has stated that it expects double-digit million euro revenue synergies in the medium term from the deal, which it expects to be immediately accretive to cash earnings.
A company spokesman said most of the 360T acquisition will be financed with bonds, while no decision has been taken about a potential small capital increase. He added that Deutsche Boerse aims to keep its indebtedness at a level allowing for the AA rating of its Clearstream unit to remain unchanged.
With volatility, volumes and returns booming in the dollar's rally over the past year, currency trading is attracting more attention from banks, retail trading houses and investors.
Deutsche Boerse's Eurex and other major exchange groups have been positioning themselves to take a role in what they expect with time will be a more heavily regulated market.
Those particular efforts have focused largely on more complicated instruments like options and futures rather than the spot currency transactions that make up the $5 trillion a day market, in which 360T is one of the biggest non-bank players.
360T founder Carlo Koelzer is credited a decade ago with helping launch a new generation of forex platforms that allowed European companies to pick and choose which banks they traded currencies with.
Data from industry publisher Euromoney shows 360T is now the third-largest such platform, behind Thomson Reuters-owned FXAll (TRI.TO), FX Connect and just ahead of Bloomberg. 360T Managing Director Alfred Schorno told Reuters earlier this year that trading on 360T was above 100 billion euros a day, although the company has since ceased to publish volume data.
360T was founded in 2000. Private equity group Summit Partners took a majority stake in 2012, peer Brockhaus has kept a 10.7 percent stake and 360T employees also retained stakes.
The deal makes 360T the most valuable German fintech company and in the view of the German Startup Association, the transaction will make it easier for other fintech firms to find investors.

Pretty right ? I have to start by saying I do not need another brush, I probably have enough to last me as long as I will be painting this old face of mine, that said........just look, the shiny shiny colours and perfectly baby soft bristles.
I know that right now some of you really clever girls are looking at this going, oh but it's not a MAC 45689756875735976976 or a Zoeeva $$&%(&(^(^( and you are right, they aint. But I am no make up artist either and for a lot of us ladies of a certain generation that fact that we even own brushes let alone know the flippin numbers is a miracle in itself. I must admit that I actually like the whole playing make up with brushes sponges etc, whether I actually know what I am doing is another matter, as long as the end result doesn't scare small children and animals I know I'm good to go.
I will hold my hands up and say I have watched YouTube videos and lasted after such tool perfection, but surely that's the point, to make us lust. I personally could not justify in this lifetime £60++++ pounds for a make up brush.
The brushes I currently own are The whole set from Make Up Revolution in Rose Gold, why did I buy them ? ahem "Rose Gold " turns out they were good brushes into the bargain lol, I also have a go to collection of Lab2 brushes which are a marvel for old birds like me, each one has it's use printed on the handle !! These were gifted to me by Lab 2, and are probably the most used.
My reason for buying this new set of 7 shiny shiny babies was the price, nothing more nothing less, The whole flippin set including postage was £5.88 YEP £5.88.
Having used them I cant see the difference in any other brush that I own, they wash well, go back into shape, and the thing that REALLY shocked me was no hair loss.
Even If I don't use these brushes ever again, that make fab photo props, so win win.
The Little Black foundation brush was a separate purchase again, works well, although I have yet to decide if these brushes are better than flat foundation brushes with a blender, but again such a stupid price, I was there click clicking away ! £2.58 including postage.

Hal Prince: In the Best of Taste
As the original production of Evita returns to Australia for a 40th anniversary season, Jansson J. Antmann talks to the show's legendary director.
by Clarke Dunham and Jansson J. Antmann and on August 15, 2018
Harold Prince has just turned 90 and is celebrating the 70th year of a career that has seen him change the shape of musical theatre as we know it. Prince challenged the convention of the musical as a light entertainment and transformed it into a serious art form. The legendary producer and director is the genius behind 41 shows including the landmarks West Side Story, Cabaret, Fiddler on the Roof and Sweeney Todd. He has won a record 21 Tony Awards and his production of The Phantom of the Opera recently celebrated its 31st consecutive year in London, and its 30th on Broadway. Meanwhile, his original production of Evita is celebrating its 40th anniversary. Jansson J. Antmann talks to Prince during preparations for its September season at the Sydney Opera House.

Hertzel Nohomovski was born in Novogrudok, Poland on April 28, 1920 but lived most of his life in the nearby town of Ivie.
Together with Tova, he emigrated to Israel in 1946 after a year of wandering around Europe and escaping from the Russians. Upon arriving in Israel, then Palestine, they were taken by the British to a refugee camp in Atlit. The couple were more officially married in 1946 in a Jewish ceremony, and soon moved to Gedera where they settled. Hertzel joined the "Irgun" and fought again the British. In 1947 he joined the army and fought for Israel during the War of Independence.
Together Hertzel and Tova built a beautiful family with two children; Azriel, named for his maternal grandfather Zelig. and Chana, named after Tova's paternal grandmother Chana. They were the proud grandparents of five granddaughters.
He committed his life to his family and to commemorating the history of the family that he lost during the Holocaust. He educated children, gave lectures in schools, and wrote articles and memoirs.
He was an extraordinary husband, father and grandfather.

A scintillating collection from the award-winning author of The Ice-Cream Makers and Mama Tandoori.
The vivid characters in these stories share lives marked by coincidences, deeply felt passions, impulsive decisions, and missed opportunities. There's Ezio, a lonely apple-picker dangerously obsessed with spirited teenager Giovanna. Heinrich is a quiet ticket inspector who watches his passengers live their lives as he longs for a meaningful connection of his own. Klaus is a young man reflecting on his first unrequited love, Eva. And Paul's experiences of loss bring him to a new life.
As they look back and narrate their histories, each reflects on the circuitous paths that life took them, and on the relationships that never came to pass.
Melancholic yet tender, these beautifully rendered atmospheric stories explore loss, longing, coming of age, and regret, and speak to the humanity in all of us.
