Ukraine embassy, Spanish arms company receive letter bombs -police
Reuters | Posted: Nov. 30, 2022, 9:32 a.m. | Updated: Nov. 30, 2022, 9:01 p.m. | 3 Min Read
MADRID/KYIV (Reuters) -Police in Spain are examining a possible link between two letter bombs sent to the Ukrainian ambassador in Madrid and to an arms company that manufactures rocket launchers donated to Kyiv, they confirmed in a statement on Wednesday.
In the first incident, an officer at Ukraine's embassy in Madrid was injured when he opened a letter bomb addressed to the ambassador, prompting Kyiv to order greater security at all its representative offices abroad.
The letter, which arrived by regular mail and was not scanned, caused "a very small wound" on one finger when an officer opened it in the embassy garden, Mercedes Gonzalez, a Spanish government official, told broadcaster Telemadrid.
Ambassador Serhii Pohoreltsev told the Ukrainian news site European Pravda that the suspicious package addressed to him was handed to the embassy's commandant, a Ukrainian staff member.
"The package contained a box, which raised the commandant's suspicions and he decided to take it outside – with no one in the vicinity – and open it," Pohoreltsev was quoted as saying.
"After opening the box and hearing a click that followed, he tossed it and then heard the explosion...Despite not holding the box at the time of the explosion, the commandant hurt his hands and received a concussion."
Hours later, an arms company in Zaragoza, northeastern Spain, received a similar package, police confirmed.
The government representative in Zaragoza, Rosa Serrano, said in an interview with the SER station that the two envelopes appeared to have the same sender, since the same e-mail address was written on the back of both of them. Serrano said the packages came from Ukraine and this is what alarmed the arms company, which called the police.
The arms company is Instalaza, the manufacturer of the C90 rocket launcher that Spain donates to Ukraine.
SECURITY TIGHTENED
After the first incident, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba ordered all of Kyiv's embassies abroad to "urgently" strengthen security and urged Spain to take investigate the attack, a ministry spokesperson said.
The Ukrainian government did not immediately respond to a request for comment about the second incident.
Ambassador Pohoreltsev told TVE later that he was working as usual at the embassy "with no fear".
"We have instructions from the ministry in Ukraine that given the situation we have to be prepared for any kind of incident... any kind of Russian activities outside the country," he said.
Russia invaded Ukraine nine months ago in what it calls a "special military operation" that Kyiv and the West describe as an unprovoked, imperialist land grab.
Spain's High Court has opened a probe into the attack as a possible case of terrorism, a judicial source said.
Police carried out a contained explosion in the factory and the incident reported no damage, according to the same media.
The envelope that was sent to Zaragoza was 10 x 15 cm and an X-ray showed the explosive charge with a wire line ready to be activated when the envelope was opened, Serrano said.
Correos, the Spanish state-run postal company, told Reuters it is cooperating with the investigation.
The residential area surrounding the embassy in northwestern Madrid was cordoned off and a bomb disposal unit was deployed to the scene, as well as the area around the Zaragoza factory.

Q: Python: how to compute min, max, median, 1st and 3rd quartiles from a dict of lists? Let's say I have a dict of lists like this:
mydict={10:[],20:[],30:[],40:[],50:[1],60:[],70:[1],80:[7, 2, 7, 2, 2, 7, 2],90:[5, 2, 2, 6, 2, 3, 1, 2, 1, 2],...}
I want to compute: min, max, median, 1st and 3rd quartiles for each list in the dict. I tried min and max first, like this:
mins_mydict={k:min(v) for k,v in mydict.items()}
maxes_mydict={k:max(v) for k,v in mydict.items()}
but I get this error: ValueError: min() arg is an empty sequence. Same for max. Is it because some of my lists are empty?
How can I create an exception that checks if len(list)=0?

A: You can assign a default value for min, max. So, for empty list you will be notified.
>>> min([] or [-1])
-1

In your case
>>> {k:min(v or [-1]) for k,v in mydict.items()}
{70: 1, 40: -1, 10: -1, 80: 2, 50: 1, 20: -1, 90: 1, 60: -1, 30: -1}
>>> {k:max(v or ["empty list"]) for k,v in mydict.items()}
{70: 1, 40: 'empty list', 10: 'empty list', 80: 7, 50: 1, 20: 'empty list', 90: 6, 60: 'empty list', 30: 'empty list'}

A: In [4]: mydict={10:[],20:[],30:[],40:[],50:[1],60:[],70:[1],80:[7, 2, 7, 2, 2, 7, 2],90:[5, 2, 2, 6, 2, 3, 1, 2, 1, 2]}

In [5]: import pandas as pd

In [6]: df = pd.DataFrame.from_dict(dict([ (k, pd.Series(v)) for k,v in mydict.items() ]))

In [7]: print(df.min())
10    NaN
20    NaN
30    NaN
40    NaN
50    1.0
60    NaN
70    1.0
80    2.0
90    1.0
dtype: float64

In [8]: df.max()
Out[8]:
10    NaN
20    NaN
30    NaN
40    NaN
50    1.0
60    NaN
70    1.0
80    7.0
90    6.0
dtype: float64

In [9]: df.median()
Out[9]:
10    NaN
20    NaN
30    NaN
40    NaN
50    1.0
60    NaN
70    1.0
80    2.0
90    2.0
dtype: float64

In [10]: df.quantile([.1, .3])
Out[10]:
     10  20  30  40   50  60   70   80   90
0.1 NaN NaN NaN NaN  1.0 NaN  1.0  2.0  1.0
0.3 NaN NaN NaN NaN  1.0 NaN  1.0  2.0  2.0

A: Alternatively to qmaruf's answer you can use a conditional inside your list comprehension in the following way:
mins_mydict={k:min(v) if (len(v) > 0) else 0 for k,v in mydict.items()}

A: You got error because you applying min and max method on empty list.
>>> min([])
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ValueError: min() arg is an empty sequence

your dictionary contains some key with empty list as values.

A: For a rapid look at your dataframe's count, mean, max, min, standard deviation and quartiles you can use df.describe()

Period dress actors brought a new dimension to the 13th at Scarva this year as part of the new cultural field enterprise.
A new cultural field set up at Scarva for the Thirteenth has been such a great hit that plans are already being made to expand it for next year, organisers say.
Sandy Heak, Chairman of the Royal 13th organising committee in Scarva, said the concept was intended to enhance the annual celebrations and create greater understanding of the traditions of the loyal orders.
The Buller family who own the estate granted a new field to base the event in, each feature in its own tent.
"One had a Lambed drum workshop, demonstrating the structure of the drum and how it is made," Sandy said. "They explain where the skins come from, how they are made and how they are put onto the drum.
"They also had two smaller Lambeg drums. The kids were going wild for them.
Experts were also on hand to teach children how to play the fife and drums and there was also a drum major workshop.
In a separate tent, teams were on hand to teach younger girls Ulster Scots dancing.
And a traditional mini-fairground was housed in a further area, with old-fashioned boat swings and vintage-style electric motorcycles.
A range of traditional Ulster Scots bands also took to the stage to entertain the thousands of people who attended the cultural field, he said.
Another new feature this year were 18 actors in period dress - adults and children - who roamed around the demesne in character.
"With the great interest there was, we will definitely be expanding it next year to make it bigger and better," Sandy said.
"Anybody we were talking to thought it was great. The parents loved it, because they got photos of their kids learning all the various instruments.


The Standard at Baton Rouge is an off-campus mid-rise student living community located at the intersection of Chimes Street and Alaska Street. This location is conveniently located to Louisiana State University's northeast end, adjacent to LSU's sports training facilities.
The 5 acre multifamily development consists of 287 units consisting of 847 beds. In addition to the residential apartments, amenity areas designed by W&A include three outdoor courtyards and two on-site resort-style pools, including one on the rooftop.
In addition, the project also includes a parking deck providing 848 total parking spaces.
W&A provided site design, storm water and utility design, coordination of structural design pertaining to site related elements including retaining walls and geo-piers, pool and courtyard design, planting design, and construction administration for the project.

News Body Directs Aaj Tak To Remove Tablighi Jamaat Content 1 Year After Damage Is Done
By Aditi Murti
Image credit: Pankaj Nangia//Danish Siddique
The News Broadcasting Standards Authority (NBSA), a regulatory body for TV channels, has directed Aaj Tak to remove certain broadcasts that linked the Tablighi Jamaat to the spread of Covid19. The content in question aired on April 4 and 5 of last year, as part of a show called "Desh Tak," currently available on Aaj Tak's Youtube channel and website.
In a statement put out on June 16th, the NBSA said that Aaj Tak's reports were in violation of Section 153 of the Indian Penal Code (promoting enmity between different groups). The news body further pointed out that several "innocent" calculation mistakes in Aaj Tak were repeated frequently, and no attempt was made to correct or publicly acknowledge these faults.
Their statement comes in response to a complaint that stated Aaj Tak attempted to "develop hatred in the minds of the people against a particular community" amid the Covid19 pandemic. The NBSA has also fined two Kannada news channels and censured English news channel Times Now for its biased coverage against Tablighi Jamaat recently — after taking cognizance of a 2020 complaint from volunteer group Campaign Against Hate Speech.
Arguably, it is clear the NBSA's statements come far too late. The Tablighi Jamaat, a Sunni Muslim sect, held a mass gathering in March last year, creating a superspreader event. Several media channels reported on this event from a biased, communal perspective, triggering outrage among people and leading to increased fear and Islamophobia.
Notably, the NBSA did not take proactive action against Aaj Tak — and instead waited for a complaint from a civilian before finally releasing a statement an entire year later. This, even though the NBSA's objectives include, Fostering and encouraging the growth of a sense of responsibility and public service among all those engaged in and associated with the profession of television journalism and business of broadcasting."
This failure to act swiftly against a polarized environment during the pandemic also reflects in the Supreme Court's handling of the situation. The Court criticized the biased media coverage in January 2021, several months after the coverage had happened, and finally made statements critical of the central government for not intervening before.
One Year Later, Are We at Risk of Forgetting the Lessons We Learned During the Pandemic?
The damage was done and left to percolate for months. An audit of Tablighi Jamaat coverage published in Newslaundry shows that news platforms platformed conspiracy theories ranging from the sect's poor hygiene habits to an intentional infection war called "corona jihad." The consequences of these conspiracy theories are continuing — real-world acts of violence including hate speech and slurs faced by the Muslim community in India.
A report by activist association Bebaak Collective further stated: "Bearing Muslim identifiers had consequences on access to immediate relief. Muslim migrants hid their names, while others who didn't were denied rations, and the stereotype of Muslims as 'virus carriers' was used to stop donors from distributing relief materials," as a direct consequence of the Tablighi Jamaat coverage in India.
Further, there was also vindictive action by the state. The Centre prohibited entry of more than 2,500 Jamaat members for 10 years, after reports from state governments, alleged that members were illegally living in mosques and seminaries. Several court cases were filed against people who attended the congregation, for reasons ranging from visa violations to violating Covid19 guidelines.
Though courts like the Bombay High Court squashed several of these FIRs, the damage to the safety of India's Muslim minority, and their mental health, still continues.
In the current statement, the NBSA notes: "The media has complete freedom to report on the Covid pandemic; however, such reporting must be done with accuracy, impartiality, and neutrality, keeping in mind the issue that is being dealt with is sensitive in nature."
This statement, issued last year, might have made a difference. Now, it rings hollow.

World Bowling is committed to providing a clean sport and a stage upon where athletes can compete in fairness. The use of doping substances or doping methods to enhance performance is fundamentally wrong and is detrimental to the overall impact of bowling. Drug misuse can be harmful to an athlete's health and also indirectly impact other athletes competing in bowling. To ensure integrity of the sport of bowling, the World Bowling organization will enforce the World Anti-Doping Code developed by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA).
Presence of a prohibited substance (such as steroids, stimulants, hormones, diuretics or narcotics) in an athlete's sample.
Possession, trafficking, use or attempted use of a prohibited substance or method (such as blood transfusions or gene doping).
Refusing to submit to sample collection.
Failure to file whereabouts information and missed tests.
Any athlete may be tested in- and out-of-competition at anytime, anywhere and with no advance notice.
Every athlete needs to take into account the list of prohibited substances and know what are his/her rights and responsibilities under the World Anti-Doping Code and the IF anti-doping rules. Athletes should know that, under the Code, they are strictly liable whenever a prohibited substance is found in their body. This means that a violation occurs whether or not the athlete intentionally, knowingly or unknowingly, used a prohibited substance or was negligent or otherwise at fault.
The World Anti-Doping Code (Code) is the core document that provides the framework for harmonized anti-doping policies, rules and regulations within sport organizations and among public authorities. It works in conjunction with five International Standards aimed at bringing harmonization among anti-doping organizations in various areas: testing, laboratories, Therapeutic Use Exemptions (TUEs), protection of privacy and personal information, and the List of Prohibited Substances and Methods. The Code and the Standards are mandatory documents for WADA's stakeholders. These documents are supported by non-mandatory guidelines. The anti-doping rules of World Bowling based on the Code.
Composed and funded equally by the sports movement and governments of the world, WADA coordinated the development and implementation of the World Anti-Doping Code, the document harmonizing anti-doping policies in all sports and all countries. Its key activities include scientific and social science research, education, development of anti-doping capacities and monitoring of the World Anti-Doping Code and stakeholders. WADA is not a testing agency.
WADA is a Swiss private law Foundation. Its seat is in Lausanne, Switzerland, and its headquarters are in Montreal, Canada. WADA works towards a vision of the world that values and fosters clean sport.
World Bowling_Anti-Doping Rules 2015 – These Anti-Doping Rules shall apply to World Bowling, each National Federation of World Bowling, and each Participant in the activities of World Bowling or any of its National Federations by virtue of the Participant's membership, accreditation, or participation in World Bowling, its National Federations, or their activities or Events.
To be eligible for participation in World Bowling events, a competitor must have a license issued by his or her National Federation. The National Federation must guarantee that all registered athletes accept the Rules of World Bowling, including these World Bowling Anti-Doping Rules compiled in accordance with the World Anti-Doping Code.

UK Space Agency backs SETsquared and the University of Exeter
Small businesses will be able to exploit the technology developed for space exploration thanks to a new project led by the University of Exeter funded by the UK Space Agency. Goonhilly Earth Station. Image courtesy of Jim Champion
The race to learn more about space has meant the creation of satellites, huge amounts of data about the earth, and new methods of creating maps.
A total of £50k of funding for the SpaceTech Incubation Initiative will support start-ups and innovative small and newly-formed companies in the South West to use space technology in their work.
The new scheme will be run by the South West Centre of Excellence in Satellite Applications, an initiative to promote economic growth led by the University of Exeter co-funded by the Satellite Catapult and UK Space Agency in partnership with Met Office, Plymouth University, Falmouth University, Plymouth Marine Laboratory, Rothamsted Research, Goonhilly Earth Station Ltd, and Peninsula Innovation Ltd.
The project is one of three across the UK to be given funding by the UK Space Agency. It will support the Government's Industrial Strategy, which emphasises the importance of science, innovation and skills.
Up to 20 companies and entrepreneurs will have access to advice and support, facilities and resources.
Cathrine Armour, Director of the South West Centre of Excellence in Satellite Applications, said: "The race to learn more about space has meant we are now able to access huge amounts of observational data about the earth, providing the ability to derive highly detailed data products both terrestrial and marine from a satellites 'restrained dataset'. Alongside the satellite communications network, data analytics and, more recently, the affordability of commissioning purpose specific satellite data payloads demand for satellite applications are burgeoning. This sort of science and technology provides an abundance of opportunity for companies in the South West who want to be a part of this growing global market."
"This funding will allow us to deliver the globally recognised SETsquared Entrepreneurship Programme in the South West and provide an additional three months SpaceTech Business Support to those involved, including taking them to the annual UK Space Conference in Manchester this year where they can meet global leaders in the space industry."
"The SpaceTech Incubation Initiative is unique in that it will provide 12 months, vital 'grow-on' space at Goonhilly Earth Station, Helston, Cornwall to the 4 start-ups identified as 'high-potential'. Provided by GES Ltd, the facility is 'fit-for-purpose' meeting the needs of data and communications centric business through the provision of synchronous, uncontended connectivity and server rack capacity of up to 42u – above and beyond standard business facilities."
The space sector is a UK success story, with growth averaging over 8 per cent a year over the last decade, a turnover in excess of £11 billion a year and ambitious plans to achieve 10 per cent of the global space market by 2030. Much of this growth is anticipated to come from companies using space-derived data or services in a broad range of different sectors.
Helen Roberts, Regional Growth Manager at the UK Space Agency, said: "We are delighted to extend the network of incubators supporting space sector start-ups to cover even more of the UK.
"These new business incubators add to the existing network of SETsquared, Leicester Dock, UNIP in Nottingham, Loughborough University, Business Durham, Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC) at its Daresbury Laboratory site, Glyndwr Innovations in St Asaph, North Wales and the European Space Agency's business incubator at Harwell.
"We look forward to working with them and seeing them help exciting new businesses to develop and flourish."

Erin Cremean joins Terra State in workforce success
Press release provided by Terra State Community College
Fremont, Ohio, Aug. 2, 2019 – Erin Cremean, current resident of Port Clinton, accepted the Interim Director of Workforce Success position at Terra State Community College. She will be assisting students in their journey to their dream career.
President Ronald Schumacher is looking forward to the progress Cremean will make in this new position. "Erin will be a great asset to the College," he said. "Her relationships with area businesses will provide a convenient stepping stone for our students when beginning their careers."
"I love to keep learning, growing and challenging myself," Cremean said. "So, this has been a neat journey for me to be here and I'm excited to see the things we'll get to do!"
Some of what Cremean wants to accomplish in this new position is to, first and foremost, build Terra State's partnerships with surrounding businesses. "I want to really connect with them, find out what they want and need and how Terra can help them grow their workforce," she said. "I want to build close enough relationships with these companies that they can just call me and say 'hey Erin, I need this' and I can send them somebody."
Cremean also wants to learn more about Fremont and its surrounding area and to be more integrated with the instructors at the College.
Executive Director of the Terra College Foundation Cory Stine is to collaborate with Cremean. "We're looking forward to the workforce and community education unit, under Erin's leadership, collaborating with colleagues from across the College," he said.
Before working at Terra State, Cremean was the Global Internship Director for Sandusky City Schools at Sandusky High School where she helped high school seniors figure out what they wanted to do and then connected them to professionals in the areas they're interested in. "They got to test drive their dream profession in an internship the second semester of their senior year," she said. In this role, Cremean worked with 246 companies.
Cremean helped bring 96 juniors and seniors from Sandusky interested in trades to tour Terra State. "When I saw what was going on here at Terra, I got really excited because it's such a good fit for a lot of the students at Sandusky because we had a comprehensive high school with college classes and trades along with Gen. Eds. So, this was a neat transition," she said.
Before her career with Sandusky City Schools, she worked at EHOVE Career Center as a Success for Youth Career Advisor for at-risk youth of Erie, Huron and Sandusky Counties. She also taught personal interest courses, was the Media Director at Perkins local schools and has a background in the fine arts.
"I've had a variety in my background, but everything has been a step in this direction and now it's all coming together and it's exciting," Cremean explained. "I always tell people, your success is a journey. It's not just one degree or diploma. It's a journey in your life to get where you want to be."
Stine is happy to have Cremean on board. "The College is thrilled to have someone like Erin with such an extensive employer relationship and networking background and understanding of workforce development issues," he said.
Cremean holds a Bachelor in Education from Bowling Green State University (BGSU) and has taken graduate courses in workforce and career advising. Before attending BGSU, she went to Edison State Community College and transferred her credits. "I really relate to the students at Terra State," she said. "I know what it's like to go to a community college and then continue my education. I also get how it is to work and go to school."
In addition to her work in career education, Cremean also is involved in the community. She is currently on the Board of Directors for the Kiwanis Club in Sandusky and is looking to transfer her membership to the Fremont Kiwanis Club, she is in the Erie County Chamber of Commerce and plans to get involved in the Sandusky County Chamber of Commerce and she does a lot of conservation and clean-up efforts around the Great Lakes. "It's a blessing to be involved in the community," she said.
In her free time, Cremean enjoys sailing, traveling, riding motorcycles, parasailing and so much more. "I have an adventurous spirit," she said.
"I like to get people to try new things and believe in themselves," Cremean said. "I get so excited when students get that ah-ha moment of 'I know what I want to do' or 'I know what I want to be' or they get that job where they feel that sense of satisfaction. That always makes my day."
Terra State Community College is a two-year accredited, state-supported, residential college located in Fremont, Ohio. Terra State has a long history of service to the community and providing students with an education that is both accessible and affordable. Terra State offers twenty-two Applied Degrees and Certificates to students.


NHS England is introducing a modern information service on behalf of the NHS called care.data.
The service will use information from a patients' medical record to improve the way that healthcare is delivered for all.
The service will only use the minimum amount of information needed to help improve patient care and the health services provided to the local community. A thorough process must be followed before any information can be shared and strict rules about how information is stored and used are followed.
Materials and guidance have been developed in collaboration with the Health and Social Care Information Centre (HSCIC), British Medical Association (BMA) and the Royal College of General Practitioners (RCGP), to support practices to raise awareness. Patients who are not happy for their data to be used in this way can ask their GP practice to make a note of this in their medical record and this will prevent their information leaving the practice.
The leaflet to inform me about my data being sold to private firms was delivered with all the junk leaflets posted through my door.
My data should be confidential all the time – like it always has been – I should not have to tell them I don't want my data sold to all the unsavoury individuals who collect this data.
While I am all in faviour of improving healthcare, my issue is about the gathering of patient information, while I full appreciate the minimum of data will be used, it is the statement in this article about if 'patients are not happy for their information to be shared they can tell thier GP' this again assumes prior knowledge of the process, are all patients going to be informed that their medical information maybe used?
Who is monitoring the strict rules?
i actually received a text message from my doctor about this… Good service here! I will not be sharing info!

It has been MONTHS since I've blogged, and yes there has been plenty to celebrate. With The Year of Celebration ending on March 31st, I figured I needed to start up again. I've just discovered Pinterest and I am in a word, OBSESSED. I could spend all day on that thing, it's like having a movable mood board. And I'm not one for liking a lot of solid paperwork around as I move so much, I'm definitely a keen member of the digital generation. My pinterest board is here.

They usually contain not less than 10 or 12 rooms and for this reason are relatively complicated, especially if they are miniatures of elaborate buildings, as is often the case.
Like the single room houses, they should be easy to inspect and clean from top to bottom and, if possible, should be made proof against the English sparrow.
An attempt to combine these essentials in a plain house is illustrated in figure 32. The body of this house slides upon its pole, to the top of which the roof is solidly attached (fig. 36).
The pole is hollow and through it runs a cord by which the house is raised and lowered. The floors are a11 removable by lifting up. When the house is out of contact with the roof all of the entrances are closed by gates actuated by springs, the gates moving upward to close, and being kept down and open by pressure against the roof.
By means of this device sparrows may be kept out of the house until martins are due to arrive, or if they get in when the house is open they can be trapped by suddenly lowering it. The pole shown here is made from hardwood boards put together with screws. The concrete base has a core of 2-inch iron pipe which extends upward far enough to make a firm connection with the upper part on which the house slides.
A removable heavy weight is employed to hold the house hard against the roof. By passing the cord around the hook of the weight exactly as shown in figure 39 and pulling it upward until the weight is clear of the ground, it can easily be held without slipping while a more secure knot can be tied. A hook less wearing to the cord and fully as serviceable may be made from an acute natural crotch of oak or other hardwood instead of iron.
Where this house is exposed to strong winds it may be advisable to attach guy wires to corners of the roof. The pole may be made of a single piece of 4-inch galvanized pipe, set in a concrete base. In this case the house should be a cylinder and the roof a cone.


About 5 years ago a good friend lost her dear baby just a few days after birth. Having recently moved across the country (USA), I could not be with her during those very difficult days. As I pondered over ways to possibly help from afar, I had the idea come that I could use my artistic talent to create healing and increased eternal perspective for their family.
The only pictures my friend had of her little baby were of her surrounded and covered by hospital equipment and tubes. My friend sent a favorite picture of her daughter and from that I painted a portrait so they could have a vision of their precious daughter without the incumbrences of medical treatment.
This was one of the most holy experiences I have had while creating. I felt that this was important to our Heavenly Father; He wanted comfort for my friend and an increased understanding about the true doctrine of eternal families. While I felt my abilities were beneath the importance of the goal, I knew that I was the only one available to do it and that the Lord would increase my talent for the best result.
The baby's portrait was received with happiness and gratitude. When my friend's family takes a picture they stand in front of the portrait, where it hangs in a place of honor in their home. I feel humbled and amazed to have been a part of the healing process for my friend and her family and I'm happy to know my talent could be a source of so much good. It might be the most God-like of service, to create unselfishly for another's benefit.

How wonderful that you were open to the spirits prompting. That's a wonderful gift to have given her and I'm so glad it helped the healing process.
Beautiful post and painting! It is such a joyful and holy feeling when God's uses us as His instrument to comfort and bless one of His children.
Thank you for your comments. This was such a special experience for me, it is great to have a forum like this where I can share it. Thanks to my friend who gave permission for her daughter's portrait to be posted.


Today is Thursday 12/14, it's a 5 day. It's a day of enlightenment remembrance, the time to clarify what we want to say. It's important to use empowered methods of personal communication to remember and connect with those we are in sync with. It's time to have a conversation.
it's important to use our solar plexus today, imagine the color yellow and use a yellow Citrine gemstone to open up our sacred minds as well as our sacred body, spirit and soul. You can combine it with a tiger's eye to assist.


Try this delicious festive salad this Christmas.
Place the prosciutto on two baking trays lined with non-stick baking paper. Brush with the maple syrup and roast for 15 minutes or until golden and crisp, then transfer to a wire rack to cool.
Place the buttermilk, mustard, vinegar, salt and pepper in a bowl and mix to combine.
Arrange the lettuce wedges in a large bowl and top with the prosciutto. Drizzle with half the dressing, sprinkle with the parmesan and serve with the remaining dressing.
Easy as, I served this in a flat round bowl with the dressing in the middle and the wedges fanning out. It looked sensational. I felt the dressing whilst lovely was a bit bland and so will play around with that but this is a lovely fresh clean salad.

'Cowardly,' 'cry for help': Reactions to anonymous Trump official's op-ed
The confession of a "resistance inside the Donald Trump administration" drew rebukes from the White House and members of previous administrations.
'Cowardly,' 'cry for help': Reactions to anonymous Trump official's op-ed The confession of a "resistance inside the Donald Trump administration" drew rebukes from the White House and members of previous administrations. Check out this story on USATODAY.com: https://usat.ly/2NmD9j0
William Cummings, USA TODAY Published 9:52 p.m. ET Sept. 5, 2018 | Updated 12:29 a.m. ET Sept. 6, 2018
Shortly after a New York Times essay called, "I am Part of the Resistance Inside the Trump Administration" was posted by an anonymous senior administration official, President Trump responded from the White House. USA TODAY

In what the newspaper described as a "rare move," The New York Times published an anonymous essay purportedly written by a senior White House official who claims to be working, along with others in the administration, to protect the country against President Donald Trump's worst instincts.
The stunning confession of a "resistance inside the Trump administration" drew swift rebukes from the White House, Trump's supporters on Capitol Hill and some members of previous administrations.
The president himself weighed in on the essay shortly after it was published during an event in the East Room of the White House
Trump called it a "gutless editorial," but his public anger was initially directed more toward The Times than the piece's author, whom he dismissed as someone who's probably "failing" at his job and is in the administration "for all the wrong reasons."
Trump's remarks after anonymous op-ed: 'We're doing a great job'
Trump condemned the "failing New York Times," which he said wouldn't exist if not for him because there would be nothing to write about, and called the publication of the anonymous attack a "disgrace.". He recalled how The Times "covered the election incorrectly" and called its staff "dishonest people."
Later, the president sent a one-word tweet reading, "Treason?"
TREASON?
He followed that with a demand that The Times, "for National Security purposes, turn him/her over to government at once."
Does the so-called "Senior Administration Official" really exist, or is it just the Failing New York Times with another phony source? If the GUTLESS anonymous person does indeed exist, the Times must, for National Security purposes, turn him/her over to government at once!
In a third tweet, at 11:22 p.m. EST, Trump wrote, "I'm draining the Swamp, and the Swamp is trying to fight back. Don't worry, we will win!"
I'm draining the Swamp, and the Swamp is trying to fight back. Don't worry, we will win!
White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders called the essay "another example of the liberal media's concerted effort to discredit the president," in a statement Wednesday.
She said the administration was "disappointed, but not surprised" that The Times "chose to publish this pathetic, reckless, and selfish op-ed. This is a new low for the so-called 'paper of record,' and it should issue an apology."
"The individual behind this piece has chosen to deceive, rather than support, the duly elected President of the United States," the statement said. "He is not putting country first, but putting himself and his ego ahead of the will of the American people. This coward should do the right thing and resign."
Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., said Trump "has every right to be upset" with the piece and that he would be angry if he were the subject of an anonymous attack. But Graham said that while the op-ed's author was guilty of "disloyalty" and of being "cowardly," the op-ed was not "treason."
Graham dismissed The Times as the "voice of the left" and predicted that "this is going to matter zero" to the American people.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell referred to the accomplishments of the current Congress when asked about the op-ed during an interview on Fox News. He said Trump has been "on the same wavelength" as congressional Republicans on taxes, regulations and court appointments.
"Republican governments don't come along very often," he said, adding that the GOP only controlled the House, Senate and White House for 20 of the past 100 years. "We don't want to squander that opportunity."
Sen. Jeff Flake, R-Ariz., and one of the most visible Republican Trump critics in the country, said he had been in hearings for Trump's Supreme Court nominee, Brett Kavanaugh, and was also unfamiliar with the essay.
"I've seen the references to it but I haven't read it and I don't know that I can give an informed opinion on it," he said. He noted that there are public examples people within the Trump administration going public with their disagreements with Trump.
"Look at the ones we know of: Jeff Sessions – the president has been pushing him very openly to go after the president's enemies and lay off his friends," Flake said. On Monday, Trump ripped Sessions over investigations into two Republican congressmen who were his early supporters and suggested they were politicized ahead of the mid-term elections.
"And so far, Jeff Sessions, bless his heart, has resisted and maintained that the judiciary needs to be independent. I don't know if that's in the same class of undercutting the president's agenda but it's certainly trying to reign in" the president, Flake said.
Ari Fleischer, who served as press secretary under President George W. Bush, said it was "impossible to evaluate how important it is without knowing how high up the author is."
Fleischer said there are hundreds of people who "think they're 'senior' officials."
"If this is a cabinet secretary, it's a problem," he said.
On the anonymous NYT op-ed: It's impossible to evaluate how important it is without knowing how high up the author is. There are hundreds of people at the WH who think they're "senior" officials. If this is a cabinet secretary, it's a problem. Maybe it's an NSC senior director.

David McIntosh, president of the conservative Club For Growth and a White House staffer during the Reagan administration, called the op-ed "cowardly."
"Having served President Reagan in the White House, what you should do if you have any integrity is resign and publicly make the same statement," McIntosh tweeted.

California Democrat and fierce Trump critic Rep. Ted Lieu called the "stunning" essay "a cry for help" that supports a host of other reports which say "Trump is unfit to lead our great nation."
This stunning OpEd in the New York Times by a senior @realDonaldTrump official is a cry for help. It also validates what 3 books & numerous articles have laid out: Trump is unfit to lead our great nation.
But the GOP Congress remains complicit. You can change that. Vote this Nov https://t.co/skJTFUPYK3

Latest News / Missile / Russia
MiG-31 seen with mysterious missile, more powerful than Kinzhal?
September 12, 2021 September 13, 2021 - by Foxbat - Leave a Comment
Russia's MiG-31 long-range interceptor fighter is likely to be equipped with a new generation attack missile that is even more powerful than the Kh-47M2 Kinzhal (Dagger).
The Russian Aerospace Forces' MiG-31 Foxhound long-range interceptor was recently seen carrying a very fancy missile, never seen before.
Based on images from the first test, there are many predictions that this is an anti-satellite missile recovered by Russia from the Soviet-era 79M6 missile of the Ishim program.
Unfortunately, due to financial difficulties, the project to build an anti-satellite weapon Ishim with the 79M6 missile was canceled before entering the initial testing phase, even though the Soviet Union then switched converted two MiG-31Ds as launchers.
MiG-31D interceptor with mysterious missile
However, in 2009, General Alexander Nikolayevich Zelin – Commander of the Russian Air Force confirmed that they were reviving a new space weapons program based on the 79M6 missile on the MiG-31D interceptor fighter platform.
Some unnamed sources even said that, in the period 2009-2010, the Russian military allocated funds for the program and the project may have been secretly restarted in 2012 and the finished product is the result. The mysterious rocket mentioned above.
However, there is another bold statement, which is that this missile is not a 79M6 anti-satellite weapon but is actually an air-launched medium-range ballistic missile.
Considering the fact that when Russia announced its withdrawal from the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces (INF) Treaty, the construction of a new type of air-to-surface ballistic missile to reach beyond the range of 2,000 km of Kh- 47M2 Kinzhal is also reasonable.
In addition, Russia is currently deploying a squadron of MiG-31K fighters that have capabilities to carry heavy missiles, like Kinzhal hypersonic missile, so the conditions for evaluating new weapons testing at this time are favorable than in the Soviet era.
According to experts, if this is not an anti-satellite missile but really a medium-range air-to-surface ballistic missile, it can reach a range of more than 5,000 km, which is more than twice as much as Kh-47M2 Kinzhal .
But to achieve this combat range, it is almost certain that the speed of the missile will not be as high as Mach 10 like the Kh-47M2 Kinzhal but must be lowered to about half to reduce fuel consumption.
In addition, the launch conditions of the new missile are probably not as complicated as when the MiG-31K fighter deployed Kh-47M2, which is to maintain an altitude of 20 km and the speed to be kept at Mach 2.
While Russia has not made an official statement about these speculations, according to some Russian news site, it is possible that this weapon is not yet complete, not that they avoid "raising" the West.
Another opinion that should also be considered is that the mysterious missile above is the new generation supersonic cruise missile Kh-95 that has just been revealed by Russian military officials.
If so, the new weapon will be equipped for tactical fighters, not just strategic bombers as originally speculated.[td_smart_list_end]

1995 Mercedes-Benz C36 AMG
By Andrew January 14, 2021 January 14, 2021 AMG, Mercedes Benz
I love "special wishes" cars. Something about a private (probably very wealthy) individual asking a major car manufacturer to make a whole bunch of changes to a car that is already incredibility detailed is interesting to me given how dialed-in production can be. You have every car on the line have a pre-determined build process, but then have one come along and have a totally new set of specs you've never seen before. I'd love to see the faces of the workers at the Affalterbach factory when they were given the instructions for this 1995 Mercedes-Benz C36 AMG up for sale in London.

1995 Mercedes-Benz SL280 5-Speed
By Andrew November 20, 2020 November 20, 2020 Mercedes Benz
Sometimes the grass is greener on the side. I'll make that argument sometimes for car selection for certain European makes, but usually it's for wild models with extra power or crazy options. Today's car, a 1995 Mercedes-Benz SL280, is the opposite of those scenarios. It is about a basic as it comes. It's got a rock solid M104 inline-6, manual climate control, and the real kicker? A five-speed manual transmission. How about we throw in some Monoblocks and finished it off in Almandine Red Metallic just to make it even better?

1995 Volvo 850 T5-R Wagon
By Carter October 13, 2020 October 11, 2020 Volvo
As we've said before, a few select marques and cars get a pass when it comes to these pages, and one of my favorite exceptions is Volvo wagons. The Sultans of Square went a bit bonkers with turbocharging over a few generations; the 240, 740, 850, and V70 all had relatively high-performance turbocharged versions of their sibling sedans that were both practical and pulse-quickening. But when it comes to the top of the heap, the 850 T5-R and its replacement, the 850R, must certainly be in contention.
Launched around the same time Volvo was curb-hopping its Estate version of the 850 in the BTCC (replete with inflatable dog in the cargo area), the T5-R took a page from the Audi RS2 and E500 book and turned to Porsche to up the ante. Fiddling with the engine tuning resulted in 243 horsepower and 250 lb-ft of torque, and was met with a stiff suspension, 17″ wheels, and interior and exterior tweaks. Like the RS2 with its famous (and often mistakenly called Nogaro) RS Blue, the T5-R's signature shade was T5-R Yellow. These were quick in period and are still pretty respectable today, though the quite limited production numbers mean you might need to look to other markets to find one:

1995 Porsche 911 Turbo
By Andrew September 28, 2020 September 28, 2020 Porsche
Wow. That is all I can say about this one. This of course being a 1995 Porsche 911 Turbo finished in Violet Blue Metallic over a Florence Gray leather interior. It is bold both inside and out as you can see, and for some, an ultimate 911. The 993 Turbo has held steady around the $100,000 for the nice examples with some miles, but this one up in Belgium has just under 27,000 miles. Needless to say, this car is not around $100,000. Not even close.

1995 BMW 325i Convertible
By Carter September 20, 2020 September 20, 2020 BMW
Launched in 1992 for U.S. shores, the third generation 3-series instantly cemented itself as the new benchmark. In fact, for all of the attention fawned on 'God's Chariot' (the E30), the reality is that the 3-series didn't appear on notoriously BMW-leaning Car and Driver's Ten-Best list until the 1992 model year. Equipped with the M50 DOHC 189 horsepower inline-6, the modern yet still driver-oriented design would go on to become a regular thereafter. They were a sales success too, and like the E30 was for some time, they're currently being largely ignored in the used market. After all, if you can get a clean M3 in the teens, why would you buy a 325i instead?
Well, this one is an interesting counterpoint. Someone obviously loved it a lot, and this E36 convertible is chock-full of options and neat accessories. And, it's only got 18,000 miles:

1995 BMW 850CSi Individual Daytona Violet
By Carter August 30, 2020 August 31, 2020 Uncategorized
You can say that all examples of a model are the same regardless of color, and I will respect that as you opinion. But let's be honest, they're not. Pull up to a stop light in a black M3 and sure, some will take notice. Pull up to a light in a Phoenix Yellow Metallic example, and – love it or hate it – you'll get attention. Which brings us to today's car…one of the ultra-rare 850CSis originally imported to the United States.
Though they're all the same specification, of the 225 imported here, one is a bit special. That's because it was ordered through BMW's Individual program in Daytona Violet over Lotus White and Daytona Violet leather. I think I'm in love!

1995 BMW M3 Lightweight Tribute
By Carter May 20, 2020 May 20, 2020 BMW
Lightweight mania continues, but that doesn't necessarily mean that you're without options. You could try one of two things; on the one hand, you could buy a track-ratted, rusted, and incomplete factory example for about $18,000 in need of a total restoration.
Sound like a solid plan?
If not, you could consider this car. Now, first off, this car is NOT a real Lightweight. But it's got the same body, the same color, Lightweight-style modifications, and while not hand-picked, the same drivetrain. It's got some tasteful upgrades on the interior, too. And at the end of the day, it's still an M3. To top it off, this tribute will set you back a bit over $1,000 less than the real-deal basket case that was on BaT last month. What's the catch?

1995 Porsche 911 Carrera 4
By Andrew May 17, 2020 May 11, 2020 Porsche
Don't get too excited, but it looks like prices of Porsche 964 and 993 models have started to cool off. When I say "cool off," that means going from red hot to still hot enough to burn you. It seems the giant run up of everything aircooled Porsche from about five years ago has started to wane a little, with the the non-special cars that are in just average condition being the first ones to fall. That means all the C2 examples with over 100,000 miles on them and some cosmetic flaws, along with the boring colors. I don't think this has anything to do the world's current situation as the collector market is still very stable, but rather an increased focus on the rare cars and ones with very low miles. Today, a 1995 C4 up for sale in Nevada certainly seems like a decent price for what it is.

By Andrew April 13, 2020 April 13, 2020 AMG, Mercedes Benz
It was only a matter of time before the Mercedes-Benz C36 AMG became a hot item. The ingredients of a significant history, low production run, and brand status all make for a desirable automobile at any price level. For the past 15 years or so, you could buy these for almost no money at all for well-used examples because they were nothing more than a minor footnote in Mercedes history. Now that AMG is a mega brand both on the street and the race track, people want the originals. Being this was the first official post-merger AMG to grace the US market, collectors are suddenly chasing them down while they still can. Yes, you can still find a decent example for under $10,000, but the perfect example are suddenly pulling big numbers when at the end of the day this is still a W202. So naturally, when one pops up, I always take a look to see if its an example worth lusting after. This 1995 up for sale in California sure looks the part, but once again, we have a dealer that is less than helpful.

1995 BMW M5 3.8 6-Speed
By Carter March 22, 2020 March 22, 2020 BMW
Every once in a while, something sneaks under the radar and offers a great opportunity to grab a quality classic for a relative bargain. Perhaps posting this blows up that chance somewhat, but odds are with only a few days left, Sars-CoV-2, and the recent stock market crash, you're not in a position to drop everything and buy an extra car on a whim – but hey, who knows? And this one is a doozy.
What we have here is a rather inconspicuous 1995 M5. That means it's a Euro car automatically, and yep, it's a 3.8 liter S38 coupled to a six-speed manual. And, just like the last one, it's my favorite Daytona Violet! But this one is a sedan and it doesn't look like the best example out there, so what's the draw? It's a no reserve auction.

Dear Stranger, I am an artist working on a photographic project which involves people I do not know…I would like to take a photograph of you standing in your front room from the street in the evening. A camera will be set outside the window on the street. If you do not mind being photographed, please stand in the room and look into the camera through the window for 10 minutes on __-__-__ (date and time)…I will take your picture and then leave…we will remain strangers to each other…If you do not want to get involved, please simply draw your curtains to show your refusal…I really hope to see you from the window.
The amazing Shizuka Yokomizo's photo project, came from running around London with huge telephoto lens, trying to glimpse unsuspecting people through the windows of their flats. Being absurd and frustrating by the one-sidedness of the activity, aside from the ethics aspect, she soon realized it was important for her to have eye contact while photographing. She needed the people to look back and recognize her equally as a stranger. So she decided to use the format of a simple anonymous letter, which contained the possibility of agreement.The effect was that when Yokomizo sent her subjects the letters, they started agreeing and stand in the front window of their home at a specified date and time.She started being welcomed. She would then arrive, set up her tripod and camera, exposed her film, and then leave. Each photograph shows someone looking out of a window. She selected the addresses and then wrote the note. Posers were not victims, they would allow Shizuka to see their homes. She needed their eye contact and them to recognize their existance. She existed as a stranger, they existed as strangers, but they both created a strange meeting point rather than just showing people's private lives. Yokomizo made sure that when the photos were taken, the light would be too dark outside to see her, she would allow her subjects to see their own reflections in the window.
Shizuka Yokomizo, Japanese by birth, photographer by choice, has been living in London for more than 15 years. Aren't you too waiting for the note? I definitely am!

Summer School on climate change, biodiversity starts at KU
SRINAGAR, JUNE 24: Two-week long summer school on climate change and biodiversity started here at University of Kashmir on Monday.
The summer school which was inaugurated by Vice Chancellor University of Kashmir Prof Talat Ahmad is being organized by Bangalore based research institute and think-tank ATREE in collaboration with the University of Kashmir.
Presiding over the inaugural session of the program, Prof Talat said "Climate change is a reality that we are facing today and it has to be tackled on a mass level. Such programs would go a long way in educating young minds on the efforts to be taken in this regard."
Delving on the significance of climate change in the Himalayan region Prof Talat added, "Increase in the temperature has altered biodiversity. I hope there will be various deliberations and discussions that may help in framing the climatic policies on national and international levels with special focus on Himalayas."
Speaking on the occasion, Dean Research KU Prof Zaffar Reshi said "Climatic changes are obvious and we need to take remedial measures. Young people are being made aware of these issues and this will surely initiate change."
Prof AH Wani Head Department of Botany also presented his views on the occasion, while as Dean Academic Affairs Prof Akbar Masood, Registrar KU Dr Nisar A Mir and Director EMMRC KU Dr Shahid Rasool were also present on the occasion.
Organizer of ATREE-KU summer school Ankila Hiremath briefed the participants with the details of the two-week long course while as Co-organizer ATREE-KU summer school Dr Soubadra Devy presented the vote of thanks on the occasion.
30 participants for the summer school have been selected from about 200 applicants from three states including Uttrakhand, Himachal and J&K. The participants are current students (post-graduates and graduates), early-career scientists, as well as practitioners involved in government and non-government institutions from Himachal Pradesh, Jammu & Kashmir and Uttarakhand.
