Boost your immunity to ward off COVID-19
Doctors in Oman have advised people to eat foods that help boost their immunity, so as to reduce the chances of being infected by COVID-19.
A number of nutrients, such as vitamins A and C, as well as minerals help the body fight off diseases, making eating of foods that contain these elements a priority at present.
The World Health Organization (WHO) also says that good nutrition is crucial for health, particularly in times when the immune system might need to fight back. For optimal health, according to the WHO, it is also important to remain physically active, a consensus shared by medical professionals in the Sultanate.
"The most commonly known nutrients that impact the immune system are vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin E, zinc, and protein," explained Dr Lyutha Al Subhi from the Department of Food Science at Human Nutrition at the College of Agriculture and Marine Sciences at Sultan Qaboos University. "There are two types of vitamin A. The first, known as preformed vitamin A is found in foods that are of animal origin, such as meat, poultry, fish and dairy products.
"The second, known as beta-carotene is found in plant foods commonly available in our markets, and includes carrots, spinach, broccoli, red bell peppers and papaya," she added.
"Foods rich in vitamin C, that aid in the formation of antibodies in addition to being antioxidant, include citrus fruits (oranges, limes and lemons), all colours of bell peppers, tomatoes, kiwi and sprouts. Vitamin E supports the neutralisation of free radicals as an antioxidant."
"When you look at any patient, the first thing you need to do is nutrient supplementation," said Khezia Resma, a nutritionist at Burjeel Hospital. "The most important minerals and vitamins to boost immunity are vitamin A, vitamin C and zinc. Foods rich in these nutrients are very good immunity boosters.
"Zinc is usually found in milk, eggs, red meat and nuts, and when it comes to vitamin A, you can find these in fish and some vegetables such as carrots, pumpkin and squash," she added. "We need you to not eat repetitive food. If you change your meals every day, you get access to different vitamins, different minerals, and different nutrients from all the foods you are eating, and that is what is highly recommended at this time. Our body needs to be fighting off infection."
Adding to this, she said, "Also, you must not discount the value of exercise. It is better for people to have physical activity so that your immune system gets stronger as well."
Dr Lyutha Al Subhi complemented this by saying that various nutrients work in unison as building blocks and help build and sustain our lives. The immune system is no exception to this, as it needs good regular nourishment to sustain its capacity and functions. Diet, which is not the sole factor that modulates the immune function, plays a significant role in our heath.
"Last but not least, the amino acids in protein, in addition to providing the building materials for our body, are found to be vital for T-cells, a type of white blood cell that protect the body against pathogens," she explained, "Meats, poultry, seafood, eggs, beans, nuts and seeds all are packed with protein. But let us not forget that too much of a good thing can be harmful. Eat these nutrients in moderation."
Her opinion was shared by Dr A Basheer, a senior internist at Badr Al Sama'a Hospital in Ruwi. He too stressed the importance of eating items rich in vitamin A and vitamin C, in addition to recommending other disease combating foods which would help build up the body's immunity.
He also stressed on the importance of keeping well hydrated at present, saying, "The first thing you must do is drink a lot of water, because this helps purify the body. If you're talking in terms of COVID-19, and your job requires you to go out a lot – especially if you are among the labour class – then your chance of getting thrombosis and other problems is more.
"Eat a lot of green vegetables and citrus fruits," he added. "Citrus fruits contain a lot of vitamin C and folic acids. Eat strawberries, papayas and blueberries because they have a lot of antioxidants, while carrots have a lot of vitamin A. All of these help boost your immunity, as these are the building supplements for our cell structure. Fruits such as avocado also have a lot of antioxidant properties."
However, Dr Basheer did go on to say that not all of the patients he visited followed his dietary suggestions, either because they couldn't, or more worryingly, because they didn't want to. He said that only 40 per cent of patients who came to him every day had both the willingness and the means to follow a balanced diet filled with immunity boosting foods.
"Some of the patients I see do follow the recommendations of a healthy diet, others are unable to follow it, while there are also some who neglect to follow this, so I would classify my patients into three groups," he explained. "40 per cent of people do follow these, 30 per cent neglect to follow it, and another 30 per cent cannot afford these foods."
Basheer added, "Every time a patient visits us, we ask them why they do not follow these tips. Sometimes, it is because this is a part of their character. Sometimes, this is due to laziness from their side because they don't want to initiate it. The other group cannot afford this, or they are unable to get access to it, so they are unable to follow these recommendations."
Khezia Resma also said she attempted to follow up on the dietary patterns of her patients, and had some advice for COVID-19 patients who are quarantined at home.
"I aim to follow-up on these nutrition guidelines with all my patients, and as far is possible, try to give them a varied or a balanced meal, when they arrive in the hospital," she explained. "People who are in home quarantine, however, should try to vary their diet as much as possible. This helps because you can optimise the nutrients in your food, and get all the possible nutrients available to you."

Mavis Gallant's "Sunday Afternoon"
As in "The Other Paris" and "The Cost of Living", a nineteen-year-old woman's dreams of romance in the city are feathering away in "Sunday Afternoon".
Robert Capa Cafe de Flore 1962
"Veronica was a London girl. At first her dreams had been of Paris, but now they were about a south she had not yet seen."
She has been living in Paris for about a year: long enough to begin to dream of elsewhere. And never so much as on Sunday afternoons is Veronica's disappointment more clear.
"Jim Bertrand, whose flat this was, and Ahmed had not stopped talking about politics since lunch. Their talk was a wall. It shut out young girls and girlish questions."
Jim is 26 and Ahmed is 23; they have a lot to say. A lot which does not include – or even refer to – Veronica or the world she represents.
"No, the difficulty for Veronica was always the same: when a man was alone he wanted her, but when there were two men she was in the way. The admiration of men, when she was the center of attention, could not make up for their indifference when they had something to say to each other. She resented the indifference more than any amount of notice taken of another woman. She could have made pudding of a rival girl."
But, actually, Veronica has a lot of difficulties. Not least of which is unravelling the mystery of the coffee maker.
"The coffeepot was Italian and composed of four aluminum parts that looked as if they never would fit one inside the other. Jim had written instructions for her, and tacked the instructions above the stove, but she was as frightened by the four strange shapes as she had been at the start. Somehow she got them together and set the pot on the gas flame. She put it on upside down, which was the right way. When the water began to boil, you turned the pot right way up, and the boiling water dripped through the coffee. You knew when the water was boiling because a thread of steam emerged from the upside-down spout. That was the most important moment."
It becomes a symbol of domestic discontent. All that Veronica cannot make the coffee-maker do. All that she cannot intuit.
But it wasn't always like this between Veronica and Jim. In the beginning, there was still room for dreaming.
"They moved in the river of people down the Boulevard Saint-Michel, and he put his arm round her so she would not be carried away. The Boul'Mich was like a North African bazaar now; it was not the Latin Quarter of Baudelaire. Jim had been here three months and was homesick."
But now, things fall short. "His glasses were thumb-printed and steamed; all his talk was fog."
In fact, they don't even agree on how things did begin.
"He thought life began only after it was prepared, but Veronica thought it had to start with a miracle. That was the difference between them, and why the lovely beginning couldn't last, and why he couldn't remember what he had loved."
This talk of love is foggy too. All murked in, with talk of being a girl, talk of being a wife.
"If they had been married, he would never have let her sell magazine subscriptions. They both knew it. She was not his wife but a girl in Paris. She was a girl, and although he would not have let her know it, almost his first."
Veronica isn't entirely sure how she is supposed to act, of how things are supposed to be, but she is more sure of how they are not supposed to be.
And her expectations of Sunday afternoons are at odds with Ahmed's, clearly. At least, they are at odds with Veronica's ideas of what Ahmed expects, and also at odds with her ideas about what Jim would expect if he were free from Ahmed's influence (that is, as she imagines his influence).
"For Ahmed this was why women existed: to come occasionally with fresh coffee, to say pretty, harmless things. Bach sent spirals of music around the room, music that to the Tunisian still sounded like a coffee grinder. His idea of Paris was nearly just this – couples in winter rooms; coffee and coffee-grinder music on Sunday afternoon."
Veronica believes that there is an important distinction to be made between Ahmed's expectations and Jim's, but ultimately they both believe that she is the one who should be making the coffee.
"Ahmed's attitudes were not acquired, like Jim's. They were as much part of him as his ears."
It seems likely that Veronica's ideas about Jim's expectations are as far apart from Jim's actual expectations as her ideas about romance in Paris are from her life in Paris.
Nonetheless, she is not resigned to her role. She demonstrates a quiet fierceness.
"'You both think you're so clever,' said the girl. 'You haven't even enough sense to draw the curtains.' While they were still listening, she said, 'It's not my fault if you don't like me. Both of you. I can't help it if you wish I was something else. Why don't you take better care of me?'"
There is so much percolating in Veronica's frustration. That neither Ahmed nor Jim has a domestic instinct to adjust the window-coverings. That she resents having noticed that they should be shifted, somehow proving herself suitable for the care-taking role. That she yearns to be liked, and is eager to blame others for behaving unlikably. That she would like to be the one who is sitting and talking, but that she would never deign to do so either.
Here's hoping that Veronica goes out for coffee next Sunday.
Note: This is part of a series of posts on Mavis Gallant's stories, as I read through her short fiction. This is the seventh story in My Heart is Broken. It also appears in The Cost of Living. Please feel free to check the schedule and join in, for the series, or for a single story; I would love the company.

Brave new Soviet world
Soviet Pavilion, Exposition Internationale des Arts Décoratifs et Industriels Modernes Paris 1925
Soviet Pavilion, Exposition Internationale des Arts Décoratifs et Industriels Modernes, Paris 1925. Credit: RIBA Collections
As the centenary of the Russian Revolution comes to a close, it seems fitting to focus on the great innovations that followed it in the field of architecture. Suprematism and constructivism brought their own revolution in the arts, and visionary architectural projects by El Lissitzky, Vladimir Tatlin and the Vesnin brothers brought the attention of the international community to the cultural ambitions of the young Soviet state.When the Soviet Pavilion was erected in the grounds of the Exposition Internationale des Arts Décoratifs et Industriels Modernes in Paris in 1925, it must have looked like a building from the future among all the Art Deco pavilions and street furniture. The structure was based on a dynamic composition of two glazed triangular volumes joined by a diagonal staircase which, in the words of its architect Konstantin Melnikov, 'goes out to meet the crowds'. Thanks to the pavilion, Melnikov acquired instant international fame; during the course of the 1920s he went on to build other key projects of the Soviet avant-garde such as the Rusakov workers' club and his own house in Moscow.

On 10 September 2015, Adrian Frutiger passed away. This man created three of our favorite and often used fonts: Avenir, Frutiger, Univers. Because his work has enriched ours, we wanted to make a tribute to him with this series of six posters.
"A" is set in Avenir, "F" in Frutiger, "Tribute to Adrian Frutiger" in Univers, 3 fonts by Adrian Frutiger.
A quote from Adrian Frutiger illustrated.
God creator of the Universe or Adrian Frutiger creator of the Univers.
"I am sure in some years from now you will see new posters with just white space and four lines in Garamond." is a quote of Adrian Frutiger. We put a line through "Garamond" and replace it by "Frutiger". The four lines are in Frutiger.

National Cancer Registry Programme

Cancer cases doubled in India between 1990 and 2013: Report
Cancer has witnessed a 5% increase in its prevalence rate between 2012 and 2014 with the number of new cases doubling between 1990 and 2013, says government data.Sushmi Dey | TNN | February 27, 2016, 08:32 IST

New Delhi: Cancer has witnessed a 5% increase in its prevalence rate between 2012 and 2014 with the number of new cases doubling between 1990 and 2013, says government data.
Globally, cancer is already the second-leading cause of death after cardiovascular diseases. Proportion of deaths due to cancer around the world increased from 12% in 1990 to 15% in 2013. International estimates show deaths from cancer have increased by 60% in India over last two decades.
"The increase in cancer cases may be attributed to ageing population, unhealthy lifestyles, use of tobacco and tobacco products, unhealthy diet etc," health minister JP Nadda said in the Lok sabha on Friday. Nadda said the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) is implementing a National Cancer Registry Programme based on 29 population-based and 29 hospital-based registries.

Modern notation propers in Latin
rogue63 April 2010
Is there a modern-notation version of the Graduale available on here somewhere? I saw the modern-notation for "Chants of the Church", but not the LU or the Graduale. I'm specifically looking for Latin propers using modern notation.
DISCLAIMER: It's not for me; it's for a choir director friend who wearily relented after his singers bucked hard at reading neumes. They're singing propers, though, so kudos!
dvalerio April 2010
There is a modern notation version of the Liber Usualis available at
http://jeandelalande.org/HOME/MODERN_notation_chant.htm (scroll down to the end of the page for the 1924 edition)
and there is another one at
http://quilisma-publications.info/Liber%20Usualis%20(Full).html
Both these versions are from the 1920's, so they are not exactly what is currently in force for the EF. But you can find most, nearly everything, of what is needed for the EF these.
The OF may require some chants not given in the LU, either because a few had fallen into disuse and were published only recently, or because they are assigned to weekdays in the EF and are thus missing from the LU (that concentrates mostly on Sundays).

Police believe men who robbed 3 sisters at gunpoint in Dallas are responsible for similar robberies
By Natalie Solis
DALLAS - Three sisters were robbed at gunpoint after leaving a birthday dinner.
One of the attackers even fired at them, but missed.
These women know how lucky they are to have escaped unharmed, but they worry for anyone else who's approached by these men, as police believe they aren't the only ones who've been victimized by the same men.
"I'm as good as you can be. I have a few scratches, but it's more psychological," Sara said.
The gravity of what happened Saturday, at about 9:30 p.m., is still sinking in.
Sara and her two sisters, Aya and Noora, were out celebrating Aya's birthday at a restaurant on Ross Avenue in Old East Dallas.
The sisters were leaving, walking down Hall Street to their parked car, and passed two men.
"They walked past us, just nonchalantly. There was nothing distinct to be like, oh this is scary," Sara recalled.
The women even stopped briefly to take a picture just shy of their car, not realizing the men were captured in the background of their photo would attack them moments later.
"I was like, oh my God, they are in the back," Aya said.
One of the men went for the designer handbag Sara was carrying, but she was able to hang on as he dragged her down the street.
The other man held the other women at gunpoint.
"The whole time I'm thinking, 'This isn't your bag, you can't have this.' And honestly, it happened so fast, like 10 seconds, and there's nothing you can think of other than what are you doing, what's going on, is that a gun shot?" Sara said,
"He had the gun pointed at me and Aya because we were in the same direction, and then when he turned it toward Sara, that's when he fired the shot," Noora recalled.
Police have been able to identify one of the suspects.
They said he grabbed the purse while his accomplice wielded the weapon, and police said they have been busy.
Police are investigating at least four other similar incidents, with same suspect description, same MO, and same time frame.
In this case, there was one charge made to a credit card five minutes later at a nearby smoke shop.
A life nearly ended for $10 of cigarettes.
"Thinking about it now, going through the what ifs, what if they shot my sister, what if they shot me, now it's a little frightening," Sara said. "I can't imagine somebody that's willing to shot you over a purse."
These sisters hope someone will recognize the suspects and call police.
Until then, they hope people in that area are on high alert.

Q: Is it possible to use crosstalk with kableextra table? I've formatted my table nicely using kableextra and I want to apply a crosstalk filter_slider to one of the columns so that the user can adjust it. However, I am getting the following error:

Error in if (nrow(df) > 0) as.character(1:nrow(df)) else character() : argument is of length zero

The code works fine if the table is not formatted using kableextra. How can I fix this? Here is some basic reproducible code I put together to demonstrate:
Name <- c("Dwyer, Andy","Ludgate, April", "Knope, Leslie")
Rank <- c(1,2,3)
Hours <- c(1000,2000,5000)
Title <- c("Shoe Shine","Intern","Deputy Director")
df <- data.frame(Name,Rank,Title, Hours)

library(crosstalk)
df2 <- SharedData$new(df)
filter_slider("Rank","Top",df2,column=~Rank)

And so, you have chosen a name for your business. What's the next step? It really is not as complicated as everyone else has put it when I asked around for advice for my company setup. So I have summarised the hassle to three (3) simple steps – all of which can be completed within an hour. Yes, I got my business license in less than an hour. And here's how to get yours.
There are two types of business ownership: Sole Proprietor and Partnership (sendirian berhad). If you are registering your business under Sole Proprietor, all you need is a copy of your Identification Card to proceed with the registration process as Sole Proprietor means you are the one and only owner of the business. As for Partnership business registration, you will require a minimum of two directors (your business partner and you) and a secretary before you can register your business. You'll need their details before you can proceed to registration.
When you enquire for business registration procedure at the information counter in any branches of Suruhanjaya Syarikat Malaysia (SSM) – known as Companies Commission of Malaysia – you will be given a form known as Borang A. It's a very simple three-page form which require you to fill in your business details. Normally there is a sample on the noticeboard in the branch to guide you on how to fill up the form accurately so that you won't have any problem at the counter. The form is free for any applicants, so make sure you don't get conned to pay for it.
Together with your filled Borang A and photocopy of Identification Card from all those involved, all you have to do next is to submit the required documents at the counter and make the required payment. If you are registering a Personal Name for your business, it would cost RM30 only. But if you are registering a Trade Name for your business, it would cost double at RM60. Depending on how many business partners you have, you will have to pay more per pax. After you have made payments, you will be told to wait for 45 minutes before your business license is ready to be collected. In my case, because there weren't many people, I received mine is less than 20 minutes.
And you are done! These steps also apply if you are registering your business online via SSM E-Lodgement Services(which is more complicated than going to the SSM branches and having it done on the spot within an hour). I strongly recommend those who are interested to register their business to go straight to the SSM branches and register on the spot as you will get your printed business license on the very same day.
Next up: Starting a banking account for your business.
What about online business? Is there a guideline on that?
Not sure about online business rules & regulations in Malaysia, but at lease these rules apply for ANY businesses in Malaysia. Offline or online, your business should be registered.
I think most of them dont have a business license. Afterall, transaction online thru paypal is hardly traceable in our country, plus mastercard and internet banking.. not sure about those.

Gregg D. Thompson of Brisbane, Australia is an amateur astronomer.

Astronomy
Gregg Thompson was one of the founding members of the Southern Astronomical Society (SAS).
Before 1981 he started making a set of charts of bright galaxies, designed to help deep sky observers in their search for extragalactic supernovae.
In 1985 he received the Amateur Achievement Award of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific, together with Robert Owen Evans,
who had made several supernova discoveries using Thompson's charts.
Evans wrote that the number of galaxies he was able to observe grew substantially after the charts were produced. Gregg Thompson also helped verify some of Evans' discoveries.

Public outreach
In 1990 Gregg Thompson co-authored with James T. Bryan, Jr. the astronomical atlas The Supernova Search Charts and Handbook, containing 248 comparison charts of 345 of the brightest galaxies,
highly valued especially by supernova hunters and recommended by the Supernova Search Committee of the American Association of Variable Star Observers.
In 1993 he published The Australian Guide to Stargazing, a manual for both naked-eye and telescope observing of the sky of the southern hemisphere with explanatory diagrams, photographs and detailed drawings, describing the basics of the night sky observation to novice amateur astronomers.

Dollar General's tentatively branded DGX store is expected to open this fall with a 3,400-square-foot sales floor.
The discount retailer also plans to open a similar location under the DGX concept in Raleigh, N.C. early next year.
The West End DGX store would be the first under Dollar general to brew and sell coffee in-store.
PizzaRev, a Los Angeles-based craft your own pizza restaurant, will occupy the space next to Dollar General.
Dollar General Corp. has leased a portion of the former TGI Friday's restaurant space at the corner of West End and 21st avenues for the first location under its new, smaller-format store concept.
The store, tentatively branded DGX, is expected to open this fall with a 3,400-square-foot sales floor. It will target busy, metropolitan shoppers with everyday low prices on essential items in a convenient, easy-to-shop format, Goodlettsville-based discount retailer Dollar General said.
PizzaRev is expected to be the tenant for the remainder of the 8,000 square foot of space where TGI Friday's restaurant closed its doors in summer 2014. The franchised location of the Los Angeles-based craft your own pizza restaurant concept is expected to open in the second quarter of next year, spokesman Monica Rutkowski said.

Offerings of Dollar General's DGX store will include a soda fountain, a coffee station, sandwiches and other items.
There will also be a limited selection of grocery offerings, pet supplies, candies and snacks, paper products, home cleaning supplies and an expanded health and beauty section. In addition, the store is expected to feature a carefully edited assortment of home, electronics and seasonal offerings not typically found in quick-trip stores.
Dollar General's spokesman Dan MacDonald declined to disclose nationwide growth plans beyond plans to open a similar DGX concept store in Raleigh, N.C. next year around that same time the company is planning the grand opening for the Nashville location at 2020 West End Ave.

The Daily Grind will be the name of the coffee brewing station at the DGX store, which MacDonald said is a new offering for Dollar General.
"We sell Starbucks bottled coffees and many brands of coffee – but we don't brew coffee in-store," he said. "This is unique to the DGX concept and designed to meet the needs of busy, on-the-go metropolitan shoppers."
MacDonald said the store has dedicated parking with a two-deck parking structure that serves retail businesses on the corner. Jason's Deli and a retail branch of The Bank of Nashville are among other businesses at that Midtown location.

"This location is easily accessible from West End from both directions and is within walking distance of the Vanderbilt Campus, numerous hotels and new apartment/condominium developments, hospitals etc.," MacDonald said. "It is a very attractive location for this store."
Nashville-based retail-focused real estate firm Baker Storey McDonald Properties Inc. represented the landlord in negotiating the lease with Dollar General.

The HK21 is a German 7.62 mm general-purpose machine gun, developed in 1961 by small arms manufacturer Heckler & Koch and based on the G3 battle rifle. The weapon is in use with the armed forces of several Asian, African and Latin American countries. It was also license-manufactured by Fábrica de Braço de Prata in Portugal as the m/968 and in Mexico by SEDENA as the MG21. In the German military (Bundeswehr) and the federal police (Bundespolizei) it is designated "G8".

Design details

Operating mechanism

The HK21 is a selective fire roller-delayed blowback-operated firearm with a semi-rigid locking mechanism designed to retard the rearward movement of the bolt. This delay was achieved by artificially increasing the inertia of the bolt by using an angular, interposed transmission system, installed symmetrically to the bore axis, with two cylindrical rollers acting as transmission elements against a movable locking piece which drives the heavy bolt carrier. The two-piece bolt assembly consists of a bolt head, which contains the aforementioned rollers, and a supporting locking piece and bolt carrier. During the "unlocking" sequence, the bolt head receives the recoil impulse from the ignited cartridge and exerts rearward pressure against the rollers, seated in recesses in the barrel extension. The rollers are driven inward against angled ramps of the barrel extension and interact with the wedge-shaped locking piece, projecting it backwards. Thus a chambering dependent (4:1 for 7.62×51mm NATO) or (3:1 for 5.56×45mm NATO) transmission ratio is maintained (as long as the rollers move on the inclined surfaces of the barrel extension and locking piece) of the bolt carrier and locking piece relative to the bolt head; the bolt head carrier travels backwards significantly faster than the bolt head, ensuring a safe drop of pressure within the barrel prior to extraction. Since extraction is carried-out under relatively high pressure, the barrel's chamber received a series of flutes designed to help free the bloated cartridge casing from the chamber wall.
Like the G3 and HK33 assault rifle bolts the HK21 bolt features an anti-bounce mechanism that prevents the bolt from bouncing off the barrel's breech surface. The "bolt head locking lever" is a spring-loaded claw mounted on the bolt carrier that grabs the bolt head as the bolt carrier group goes into battery. The lever essentially ratchets into place with friction, providing enough resistance to being re-opened that the bolt carrier does not rebound. The spring-powered claw extractor is also contained inside the bolt while the lever ejector is located inside the trigger housing (actuated by the recoiling bolt).

The reliable functioning of roller-delayed blowback mechanisms is limited by specific ammunition and arm parameters like bullet weight, propellant charge, barrel length and amount of wear. For obtaining a proper and safe functioning parameters bandwidth Heckler & Koch offer a variety of locking pieces with different mass and shoulder angles. The angles are critical and determine the unlock timing and pressure curve progression as the locking pieces act in unison with the bolt head carrier.

Features

The HK21 uses a modified G3 receiver that has been extended to the front sight base and is equipped with a detachable bipod (mounted either in front of the feed mechanism or at the muzzle) and tripod and vehicle mounting points. The HK21 has close to a 48% parts interchangeability with the G3.
The bolt features a spring-powered extractor and an anti-bounce device that prevents the bolt head from glancing off the barrel extension upon forward return of the locking assembly. The lever-type ejector system is contained in the trigger group housing and is actuated with every shot by the recoiling bolt. The weapon has a hammer striker and is fired from the closed bolt position, rare for general purpose machine guns. Firing from a closed bolt contributes to accurate fire, but is disadvantageous for heat dissipation. The trigger group, which is integrated with the pistol grip and hinged from the receiver, is equipped with a fire control selector switch (selector lever in the "E" or "1" position – semi-automatic fire, "F" or "20" – continuous fire mode) that doubles as a manual safety (rotating the lever into the "S" or "0" setting disables the trigger, weapon is considered "safe").

The HK21 has a free-floating, heavy, quick-change barrel fitted with a slotted flash suppressor. The firearm is equipped with an iron sight line that consist of a rotary rear drum and hooded front post. The rear aperture sight is mechanically adjustable for both windage and elevation from  in  increments for 7.62×51mm NATO models or  in  increments for 5.56×45mm NATO models.

By simply swapping out several components such as the barrel, bolt and feed plate unit, the weapon can be quickly converted to the intermediate 7.62×39mm and 5.56×45mm NATO chamberings.

Feeding
The machine gun feeds from the left-hand side through a variety of disintegrating metallic link ammunition belt types: the American M13 linked belt, the German DM6 counterpart to the M13 or the German non-disintegrating metallic link DM1 belt. The ratcheting wheel feed unit was designed as an easily removable module that is inserted into the bottom portion of the feed block (installed in place of the standard magazine well), below the barrel axis. As a result of this configuration (the bolt passes over the belt), the ammunition belt is aligned upside down compared to most other belt-fed weapons (that is, the links face downward). The feed mechanism is actuated by the reciprocating movement of the bolt; a curved cam slot on the bottom of the bolt engages an actuator in the feed mechanism, rotating the double sprockets and positioning a new round in the feed path. Simple conversion from belt to magazine feed is possible by installing an adapter in the feed block which enables the use of H&K's proprietary 20-round box magazine (from the G3 rifle) or a 50-round drum magazine.

Variants

G8 and G8A1
The German Army, German Navy and the Federal Police use a variant of the HK11 designated the Gewehr-8 (or G8). It is tapped for telescopic sights and has a quick-change barrel with a bipod that uses either a heavy match-grade bull-barrel or a heavy barrel for automatic fire. It was designed to use G3-type 10- or 20-round box magazines in the designated marksman role, but could also use a special 50-round drum magazine for sustained supporting or suppressing fire. The modified G8A1 adopted the improvements of the HK11A1 series and was only able to feed from magazines and drums.

GR-series
The GR-series were "sanitized" (i.e., having no serial numbers or identifying marks) Heckler & Koch weapons used by special operations forces. They differed from the stock weapons in that they had optical sights, no provisions for iron sights, and came standard in Woodland (-C suffix) or Desert (-S suffix) camouflage.
GR-6 Automatic Rifle (HK13).
GR-9 Light Machinegun (HK23).

HK21A1
In the early 1970s the HK21's design was simplified and the feed mechanism was modified. The machine gun's weight was increased, a carrying handle and a hooked buttstock with improved buffer mechanism were also added. The barrels were internally revised to polygonal rifling. Since then, the HK21 was offered in two main variants: the HK21A1 general-purpose machine gun (with a different belt feed mechanism) and the HK11A1 light machine gun. (optimized for magazine feed only). The HK11A1 proved more successful in export sales and was adopted by the Hellenic Army and several African and Asian armies. Both weapons, as in the original HK21, can be converted to chamber the 5.56×45mm NATO round by replacing the appropriate components.

HK21E
During the 1980s both the HK21A1 and HK11A1 were modernized based on user and testing feedback, resulting in a new modular family of machine guns that share the same receiver, trigger group and interchangeable barrels and feed units, consisting of:
HK11E general-purpose machine gun (magazine fed, chambered in 7.62×51mm NATO)
HK13E light machine gun (magazine fed, chambered in 5.56×45mm NATO)
HK21E general-purpose machine gun (belt-fed, 7.62×51mm NATO)
HK23E light machine gun (belt-fed, 5.56×45mm NATO).
The "E" simply stands for "Export" model. They use STANAG rather than HK proprietary magazines and come with different optics than German military models.

The E model is a thoroughly revised variant aimed to improve the reliability, efficiency and service life of the weapon. For this the length of the receiver was increased by  to provide additional recoil length for the bolt group. The recoil reduction improved accuracy of fire. Reinforcing bars were added to the receiver to provide additional strength and a guaranteed 60,000 rounds minimum service life. The bolt head, extractor and locking roller holder were completely redesigned as were the bolt carrier and recoil spring assembly, belt feed unit, buffer, barrel and trigger group. The redesigned belt feed mechanism transports the ammunition belt in two steps reducing stress on the feed and ammunition belt.

Compared to the older HK21A1 and HK11A1, the modernized "Export" weapons also feature a longer barrel shroud, extended by  towards the front, which also resulted in a longer sight radius; the barrel extension was modified (the HK21E also received a longer barrel); a burst fire mode was incorporated into the trigger group as the fourth selector setting (3-round burst); a polymer barrel handle was added; space for a cleaning kit was added in the grip; the rear sight was modified with an adjustable drum; a bipod with a 3-position height adjustment and 30-degree tilt mechanisms replaced the simple folding bipod; the feed mechanism was modified to provide continuous feeding (by moving the belt in two stages, during both forward and rear movement of the bolt), a forward assist for silent loading was provided and the machine guns were adapted to use NATO-standard optical sight mounts.

When employed in the light machine gun (infantry assault) role, the HK21E stores its ammunition belt in a 100-round sheet metal container, fastened to the bottom of the feed mechanism (as in the HK21A1). The ability to use G3 or STANAG (for HK23E) box or drum magazines is available with an optional feed module kit that consists of the bolt, recoil spring and belt feed module or magazine well.
When employed in the belt-fed medium machine gun (fire support) role the HK21E provides a cook-off rate in excess of 1,000 rounds fired in quick succession. The shock-absorbing tripod weighs .

HK25
A heavy machine gun variant of the HK21 chambered in .50 BMG/12.7×99mm NATO was proposed but never went into production.

HK51B
An aftermarket conversion of an HK21 general purpose machinegun into a belt-fed short carbine created by gunsmiths F. J. Vollmer & Company Inc. The barrel is 8.9 inches long, has an overall length of 21 inches, weighs about 11 lbs. unloaded, and has a rate of fire of 950 to 1,000 rounds per minute. Fixed barrel models have a "Tropical" MP5-style handguard with ventilation slots. Quick-change barrel models have a four-position Picatinny Rail handguard (usually used with a vertical foregrip). It feeds from a 100-round HK21 belt box and uses either the American M13 or German DM6 disintegrating link belt. Vollmer only made 30 guns, 2 of which had quick-change barrels.

The FA Has Contacted Bookmakers
by jonsnow , Thursday 8 June 2017, Categories: Welcome
The Football Association has contacted bookmakers seeking their observations after payments were apparently made to punters who had wagered bets at odds of on the specific time of John Terry's substitution against Sunderland.The Football Association has issued its first life bans after being shown previously unseen footage of England supporters making Nazi salutes and slit-throat gestures amid growing fears among security officials that the national team have become a focal point for a new generation of troublemakers. The tumultuous career of Joey Barton looks finally to have come to an end after the controversial footballer was banned from the game for months on betting charges.Barton, who is registered as a player with Burnley in the Premier League, accepted Football Association charges that accused him of having placed bets on football matches between. This figure included at least five matches in which he was a player. Professional footballers are banned from making any bets on their own sport. Other footage showed an England follower holding a finger above his lips to imitate Hitler, in between gesturing that he would stab Germany's supporters, during March's game in Dortmund that became an opportunity for many travelling Englishmen to go through their repertoire of songs about the second world war. Paddy Power had accepted the bets on Terry being replaced matching his shirt number, in Sunday's final Premier League fixture of the campaign, the last as a Chelsea player at Stamford Bridge. The then Sunderland manager, David Moyes, said after the match his team had known it was coming and had raised no objections. The visiting goalkeeper, Jordan Pickford, was reminded by Diego Costa and duly kicked the ball out of play to allow the substitution to take place. Despite having admitted to the offences Barton, plans to appeal against the length of his suspension and claims that there was nothing untoward or suspicious about his behaviour. In a lengthy statement posted on his website Barton said: The decision effectively forces me into an early retirement from playing football. To be clear from the outset here this is not match fixing and at no point in any of this is my integrity in question. While the Premier League is believed to be relaxed about the matter, content the player's withdrawal did not contravene any of their rules, the FA has now instigated a dialogue with betting companies to ascertain the precise chain of events on Sunday. The governing body has requested any relevant information. There is no suggestion that the decision to substitute Terry was anything other than Chelsea's attempt to give their captain a proper send-off as his spell at the club draws to a close, and no suspicious betting patterns have, as yet, been reported. Of people identified by the UK Football Policing Unit, turned out to be members of the official England Supporters Travel Club. Sixteen have now been banned for periods ranging from six months to five years and the other four have received warning letters. However, the authorities accept the real number of offenders is significantly higher and that in terms of antisocial behaviour, England have one of the worst followings of any football nation.
Having consulted with my friends and lawyers, I have decided I will be appealing against the length of the ban.I hope that I shall be afforded a fair hearing by an independent appeal panel. If I am, we are confident that the sanction will be reduced to a fair one that both reflects the offences as well as the mitigating factors and the fact that there was nothing untoward or suspicious about the bets I made. Intelligence reports have also revealed that many of those causing problems are aged and fit a new profile of troublemaker who operate differently to the old category C hooligans and regard England's travels with a stag-weekend culture where they take pride in behaving badly. The FA's rules regarding match-fixing state that: Fixing is arranging in advance the result or conduct of a match or competition, or any event within a match or competition. Comparisons have been drawn with the incident, still under investigation, in which the Sutton United goalkeeper Wayne Shaw resigned after eating a pie during February's FA Cup tie against Arsenal. However, the bet involving Shaw was offered on the open market by a bookmaker, whereas wagers on Terry's substitution followed an inquiry by a punter. We replied to a novelty request for odds on John Terry's substitution one of hundreds on the Chelsea game and fair play to the three punters who were on at odds Paddy Power said in a statement. To be honest the only mistake here is we should have clocked sooner there'd be another cringe-worthy Chelsea sendoff for JT. Barton returned to the Premier League only in January after five years' absence. His career has taken in spells at six clubs including Manchester City and Glasgow Rangers and he also earned a solitary cap for England during the reign of Steve McClaren. But the Merseyside-born midfielder will be remembered as much for his misdemeanours as for his performances. In December he was fined six weeks' wages for stubbing a lit cigar in the eye of a young team-mate during Manchester City's Christmas party. In May he was suspended by the same club after a training-ground altercation which later led to assault charges for which he received a four-month suspended jail sentence. Later that year he was arrested in Liverpool city centre after a late-night incident and was charged with common assault and affray, and in May was jailed for six months. In May Barton was banned for matches for violent conduct when playing for Queens Park Rangers. Two supporters were separately identified by travel club officials making Nazi gestures and the FA is so concerned it has banned them for life, in contrast to the kind of punishments that have previously been handed out. One racist incident, for instance, in led to a supporter receiving a five-year ban. However, there are now clear indications the FA wants to take an increasingly tough stance. situs judi bola
Using information from its own staff, the travel club has also banned another nine members for various offences, including aggressive behaviour and ticket scams around the Germany game, with two others receiving warnings and one case pending. While Terry suggested post-match that he had proposed the substitution in the minute that matched his shirt number, it is understood the decision was made jointly by the captain, the manager, Antonio Conte, and senior players in the squad who had deliberated how best to grant the former England captain the best farewell. Conte had hoped to use the game against Sunderland, which was eventually won by his side, as a means of maintaining key players' form before Saturday's FA Cup final against Arsenal. A system is being introduced whereby a team of six Wembley stewards will start to travel abroad to England's fixtures and supporters have been emailed warnings that misbehaviour will not be tolerated around the World Cup qualifier against Scotland at Hampden on Saturday England have a ticket allocation for what is always a high-risk fixture and, when it comes to the habit of supporters gathering in a main square, the FA wants supporters to realise that drinking alcohol in the streets is forbidden in Glasgow. There was a precedent at Chelsea, with Didier Drogba carried off by his team-mates midway through the first half of his farewell appearance, also against Sunderland, on the day Chelsea lifted the Premier League trophy. Terry's substitution process on his appearance for the club had begun when the clock ticked on to minutes, making it the minute of the match, and by the time he left the field through a guard of honour formed by his team-mates it was the minute, yet Paddy Power honoured the bets, saying: Clearly the send-off was planned for the minute to commemorate JT, hence why we paid out. Barton's ban comes at a time when football has never been more closely intertwined with the gambling industry. Eleven of the current Premier League sides wear the logos of betting companies on their shirts, while the Football League itself is sponsored by a gambling company. The growth in online or remote gambling has meant that not just every match but most of the elements within them can now be gambled upon. Recent estimates at the amount of gambling losses accrued in the UK put the total at around per person per year. The Scottish and English football associations, along with the police, are concerned about the 5pm kick-off, designated by Uefa, and the potential for drunkenness. That, however, raises questions about why the authorities have not made a concerted push to persuade Uefa to bring it forward. One of the other problems, namely England fans travelling without tickets, has been exacerbated by the number of supporters who have dropped out of the travel club since a controversial system was put in place in January whereby ticket-holders were offered two loyalty points for attending Wembley games and only one for going abroad with the team. That system has now been changed to two points each but the FA privately accepts it was a mistake to change it in the first place, not least because many supporters now travel independently and get tickets from touts or other means.

Sharjah: Customs officials at Sharjah International Airport have arrested an Egyptian man and his wife after they attempted to smuggle their infant son into the UAE in their luggage.
The attempt was discovered on Saturday morning after the man, in his 30s, and his wife arrived at the airport from Egypt.
An investigation was launched after an X-ray machine showed the child was hidden in the hand baggage.
The baby boy, who is just a year old, had no visa, passport or official documents allowing him to enter the UAE.
A police official told Gulf News: "When customs officials saw the baby inside the bag at the X-ray scanner, they were stunned.
"This machine is very dangerous for anyone, let alone a baby in a bag to pass through.
