Atlas Cheetah ist ein südafrikanisches Kampfflugzeug, das in erster Linie als Jagdflugzeug (Modell C) und zur Pilotenausbildung (Zweisitzer, Modell D) eingesetzt wird.

Entwicklung
Anfang der 1980er-Jahre entstand in Südafrika die Notwendigkeit, die Luftstreitkräfte zu modernisieren. Dabei dürfte neben den hohen Instandhaltungskosten der vorhandenen Kampfflugzeuge des Typs Dassault Mirage III (EZ/CZ/BZ/DZ/D2Z/RZ/R2Z) und Mirage F1 (AZ/CZ) auch die Lieferung von sowjetischen Kampfflugzeugen des Typs MiG-23 an Angola eine Rolle gespielt haben. Das bestehende Embargo der Vereinten Nationen machte die Anschaffung neuer Flugzeuge jedoch unmöglich. Als einzige Möglichkeit blieb daher die Modernisierung der vorhandenen Maschinen.

Zu diesem Zeitpunkt waren die Maschinen vom Typ Mirage F1 die modernsten Kampfflugzeuge der südafrikanischen Streitkräfte und bildeten das Rückgrat der Luftwaffe. Sie für eine Modernisierung zeitweilig aus dem aktiven Dienst zu nehmen, hätte die Leistungsfähigkeit der Luftwaffe stark eingeschränkt und war daher nicht realisierbar. Da andere Staaten bereits modernisierte Versionen der Mirage III entwickelt hatten, insbesondere Israel (Kfir) und Frankreich (Mirage III NG), fiel die Wahl auf die vorhandenen Mirage III. Es entstand das Projekt "Cushion".

Im Juli 1986 präsentierte das südafrikanische Unternehmen Atlas Aviation eine erheblich modifizierte Mirage III mit dem neuen Namen "Cheetah". Es wurden drei Versionen der Maschine gebaut: Die zweisitzige Cheetah D und die beiden einsitzigen Varianten Cheetah E und Cheetah C. Während der Typ Cheetah E 1992 ausgemustert wurde, setzte die südafrikanische Luftwaffe (SAAF) Typen 'C' und 'D' noch bis zum 11. April 2008 ein.

Es wird angenommen, dass Israel Aircraft Industries zumindest in der Anfangsphase in das Projekt involviert war und dass einige Komponenten aus Israel stammen. Diese Information wird von der SAAF jedoch weder bestätigt noch dementiert. Die Ähnlichkeit mit der Kfir in einigen Details (z. B. die Canards) weisen jedoch darauf hin.

Von den damals bestehenden 27 Mirage III DZ und D2Z wurden 16 zu Cheetah D und 16 der Mirage III EZ wurden zu Cheetah E umgebaut. Für die Cheetah C jedoch wurden keine südafrikanischen Maschinen verwendet. Angeblich sollen die dafür benötigten Flugzeugzellen von Israel (ausgemusterte Kfir-Zellen) geliefert worden sein.

Insgesamt wurden etwa 60 Flugzeuge gebaut. Das gesamte Programm kostete etwa 3,5 Milliarden Rand.

Verwendung und Einsatz

Die Cheetah wird in erster Linie als Abfangjäger genutzt, kann aber auch mit Bomben und Raketen bewaffnet und damit als Mehrzweckkampfflugzeug eingesetzt werden.

Das erste zu modernisierende Flugzeug war eine Mirage III D2Z mit der Seriennummer 845. Sie wurde im April 1983 an Atlas geliefert. Das Auslieferungsdatum dieses Flugzeugs ist unbekannt. Der Erstflug erfolgte im Mai 1985 bei Israel Aircraft Industries. Die erste Cheetah D wurde am 16. Juli 1986 in Anwesenheit von Präsident Botha der Öffentlichkeit vorgestellt. Zu diesem Zeitpunkt waren bereits einige Cheetah D an die auf dem Luftwaffenstützpunkt Pietersburg stationierte 89 Combat Flying School ausgeliefert worden, obwohl dieser Typ erst 1987 offiziell einsatzbereit war. Die zweite und dritte zu modernisierende Mirage waren beide vom Typ Mirage III EZ und wurden an die auf dem Luftwaffenstützpunkt Louis Trichardt stationierte 5. Staffel ausgeliefert.

1991 begann die Produktion der Cheetah C., die erste Maschine dieses Typs wurde 1993 ausgeliefert. Insgesamt wurden 38 Cheetah C produziert, die alle an die auf dem Luftwaffenstützpunkt Louis Trichardt beheimatete 2. Staffel ausgeliefert wurden. Mit der Indienststellung der Cheetah C wurden die Cheetah E ausgemustert und im Jahr 1992 fünf Geschwader aufgelöst. Bald darauf wurde auch die 89 Combat Flying School aufgelöst und alle Cheetah D wurden der 2. Staffel zugeordnet, wo sie ihren Dienst bis 2009 versahen.

2011 kaufte Ecuador für 54 Mio. Euro 12 Kampfflugzeuge (10× Cheetah C und 2× D) von Südafrika, die vom Rüstungsunternehmen Denel überholt wurden. Sie sollen dort die Mirage F1 ersetzen.

Versionen

Cheetah B
Als Cheetah B wurden fünf zu Doppelsitzern umgebaute überzählige Nesher bezeichnet.

Cheetah C
Die Cheetah C ist das jüngste Modell der Cheetah-Serie. Es hatte am 22. November 1992 mit Des Barker im Cockpit seinen Erstflug. Die Cheetah C ist im Gegensatz zu den D- und E-Varianten mit einem leistungsfähigen Radar von Elta (vermutlich EL/M-2035) und einem umfangreichen elektronischem Selbstschutzsystem ausgerüstet. Bis 1995 wurden etwa 35 Stück gebaut.

Cheetah D
Die Cheetah D ist im Gegensatz zu allen anderen Modellen der Cheetah-Serie ein zweisitziges Flugzeug. Die Maschinen werden vor allem zur Ausbildung von Piloten verwendet, die Maschinen vom Cheetah C fliegen sollen.

Unter dem Projektnamen "Recipient" wurde bei 10 der 13 existenten Cheetah D das Triebwerk umgerüstet. An Stelle des bisherigen Triebwerks Atar 09C erhielten die Maschinen ein Triebwerk vom Typ Atar 09k50C-11. Die drei nicht umgerüsteten Maschinen wurden ausgemustert.

Cheetah D Nummer 845 wird derzeit vom Test Flight and Development Centre (TFDC) als Testflugzeug verwendet. Es wurde vor kurzem im Rahmen der Entwicklung des Denel Dynamics MUPSOW-Waffensystems genutzt. Auch Denel verwendet zwei Cheetah D für Testzwecke: Nummer 844 und 847. Nummer 847 wurde im Rahmen der Bewertung des SMR-95-Triebwerks (einer Weiterentwicklung des Klimow RD-33) verwendet. Obwohl das neue russische Triebwerk eine erhebliche Leistungssteigerung zeigte, führten Budgeteinschnitte und Probleme mit dem Schwerpunkt der Maschine zur Einstellung des Projekts.

Cheetah E

Der Einsitzer Cheetah E wird aufgrund der kurzen Verwendungszeit von 1987/88 bis zur Ausmusterung 1992 zumeist als Übergangslösung für den Zeitraum bis zur Einsatzbereitschaft der Cheetah C angesehen.

Die Maschine war mit einer verhältnismäßig einfachen Avionik ausgestattet. Im Gegensatz zu den anderen Modellen behielt dieser Typ das Atar 9C-3-Triebwerk. Mit Ausnahme der letzten Cheetah E, Nummer 842, wurden alle Flugzeuge dieses Typs eingelagert. Nummer 842 wurde in einem speziellen Tarnschema lackiert und für Systemtests verwendet. Gegenwärtig gehört die Cheetah E Nummer 842 dem Luftwaffenmuseum und befindet sich auf der Luftwaffenbasis Swartkop.

Im Jahr 2003 erwarb Chile fünf der eingelagerten Cheetah E mit den Nummern 819, 820, 827, 832 und 833. Chile hat auch Interesse am Erwerb weiterer (Nummer 822, 823, 825, 828, 829, 831 und 834) Flugzeuge dieses Typs, soweit sich beide Seiten über den Preis einigen können. Die chilenische Luftwaffe (FAC) beabsichtigt, die Cheetahs als Ersatzteillager für ihre ähnlichen Flugzeuge vom Typ ENAER Pantera zu verwenden.

Cheetah R
Die Cheetah R war eine Machbarkeitsstudie. Es sollte geprüft werden, ob ein spezielles Aufklärer-Modell in das Modernisierungsprogramm aufgenommen werden sollte. Als Basis wurde eine mit einem Atar-9K50-Triebwerk ausgestattete Mirage III R2Z (Nummer 855) verwendet.

Zusätzlich zur Instandsetzung der Flugzeugzelle erhielt die Cheetah R eine neue Nase und das gleiche Radar, das auch beim Typ E Verwendung fand. Die beiden DEFA-30-mm-Kanonen wurden entfernt und als einziges Modell der Cheetah-Serie verfügte die Cheetah E über keine Luftbetankungsmöglichkeit.

Nachdem sich die südafrikanische Luftwaffe entschieden hatte, dass Cheetah-R-Programm nicht weiterzuverfolgen, wurde Nummer 855 mit dem Advanced Combat Wing (ACW) ausgestattet und als Test- und Entwicklungsmaschine verwendet. Später wurde Nummer 855 verschrottet und ihre Tragflächen im Luftwaffenmuseum eingelagert.

NY Court of Appeals holds "disgorgement" payment to SEC is covered loss
Home Perspectives NY Court of Appeals holds "disgorgement" payment to SEC is covered loss
J.P. Morgan Securities Inc. v. Vigilant Insurance Co., No. 61 (N.Y. Nov. 23, 2021)
Late last month, New York's highest court held that a policyholder's $140 million "disgorgement" payment to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to resolve an investigation into alleged market timing and late trading was a covered loss under a broker/dealer liability policy and was not excluded from coverage as a "penalty imposed by law." In so holding, the Court of Appeals rejected the intermediate appellate court's reasoning that the U.S. Supreme Court's decision in Kokesh v. SEC was controlling and necessitated that a "disgorgement" payment is a "penalty." The New York Court of Appeals here joined with other courts in confirming that courts must look beyond the labels affixed to settlement payments when construing insurance coverage.
Authors: Courtney C. T. Horrigan Andrew E. Kintner
In J.P. Morgan Securities Inc. v. Vigilant Insurance Co., the New York Court of Appeals was asked to determine whether a $140 million "disgorgement" payment paid by J.P. Morgan's predecessor in interest, Bear Stearns, to the SEC over alleged illegal trading practices was a "penalty imposed by law," and thus excluded from coverage under the insurance policy at issue. By way of background, in 2000, Bear Stearns purchased a primary insurance policy from Vigilant Insurance. The policy provided coverage for the "wrongful acts" of the company but excluded "fines and penalties imposed by law" from the definition of covered "loss." Starting in 2003, the SEC began investigating Bear Stearns for late trading and deceptive market timing practices. Bear Stearns ultimately settled with the SEC in 2006, agreeing to pay a $160 million "disgorgement" payment and a $90 million payment for "civil money penalties." $140 million of the disgorgement payment purportedly reflected an estimate of the profits gained by Bear Stearns' clients as a result of the illegal activity. Following its settlement with the SEC, Bear Stearns sought coverage from Vigilant for the $140 million portion of the payment. Litigation ensued.
Court's analysis
In concluding that the $140 million "disgorgement" payment was not a "penalty imposed by law," the Court of Appeals began its analysis by laying out the general principles of New York insurance law. The court noted that the issue presented was "a question of contract interpretation" and that under New York law, insurance contracts "must be interpreted according to common speech and consistent with the reasonable expectation of the average insured at the time of contract." The court's focus on the reasonable expectations of the insured would animate the remainder of its opinion.
With those background principles in mind, the court turned to interpreting the term "loss" in the policy, and specifically, how the parties would have understood the exclusion for "penalties imposed by law" when they entered into the insurance contract. Noting that "penalties imposed by law" was not defined in the policy, the court looked to that term's "commonly understood" meaning as well as its prior case law for guidance. Based on those sources, the court concluded that "a penalty is distinct from a compensatory remedy and a penalty is not measured by the losses caused by the wrongdoing."
Next, the court addressed the issue of settlement payments that have both compensatory and punitive components. Looking to its 1994 decision in Zurich Insurance Co. v. Shearson Lehman Hutton, the court explained that "where a sanction has both compensatory and punitive components, it should not be characterized as punitive in the context of interpreting insurance policies." Given that Zurich preceded the insurance policy at issue by six years, the court reasoned that a reasonable insured at the time of contracting would have understood "penalty" in the policy to refer specifically to non-compensatory, purely punitive monetary sanctions.
Having defined the scope of "penalty" under New York insurance law, the court then examined whether Bear Stearns' $140 million payment to the SEC met that standard. Analyzing Bear Stearns' communications with the SEC during the settlement negotiations, as well as testimonial and documentary evidence, the court concluded that Bear Stearns conclusively demonstrated that the $140 million disgorgement payment "was calculated based on wrongfully obtained profits as a measure of the harm or damages caused by the wrongdoing that Bear Stearns was accused of facilitating." The insurers did not submit any evidence to rebut this proof.
The court also found that the $140 million payment "served a compensatory goal." Under the terms of the settlement agreement, only the $90 million civil money penalty could be considered a penalty for tax purposes. Additionally, the disgorgement payment, unlike the civil money penalty, could be used to offset private claims against Bear Stearns. Moreover, as the court explained, while "neither the label assigned to the payment by the SEC and Bear Stearns nor the mere fact that injured parties may ultimately receive the funds, is dispositive," these factors must be considered together with the fact that the payment at issue constituted a measure of investors' losses. As such, the court concluded that the $140 million payment was intended, at least in part, to compensate those injured by Bear Stearns' alleged wrongdoing. Therefore, under Zurich, the payment "could not fairly have been understood as a 'penalty'" under the policy.
Finally, the court rejected the intermediate appellate court's reasoning that Kokesh controlled and required that a "disgorgement" payment be considered a "penalty." According to the Court of Appeals, in Kokesh, the U.S. Supreme Court "was not interpreting the term 'penalty' in an insurance contract." Moreover, given that Kokesh was decided nearly two decades after Bear Stearns and Vigilant entered into the insurance agreement, the Supreme Court's decision "could not have informed the parties' understanding of the meaning of the term 'penalty.'" Therefore, according to the Court of Appeals, Kokesh did not require the $140 million payment to be considered a "penalty imposed by law."
This decision is noteworthy for policyholders for several reasons. First, for policyholders in New York, it offers an avenue for coverage for settlement payments associated with major regulatory risks. Second, similar to the Northern District of Illinois' recent decision in Astellas v. Starr Indemnity et al., No. 17-cv-8220 (N.D. Ill. Oct. 8, 2021), J.P. Morgan Securities encourages courts to look beyond the labels attached to settlement payments when construing coverage. And finally, for policyholders outside of New York, the Court of Appeals' decision offers several arguments to distinguish Kokesh should insurers raise that case as a defense to coverage. In short, J.P. Morgan Securities adds yet another arrow to policyholders' quiver and will help guide future courts to the proper result.

Northside Hospital Atlanta Completes New Eight-Story Patient Tower
Cancer, Community, Growth
Northside Hospital has completed the first major expansion of its Atlanta campus in more than a decade with the opening of a new eight-story patient tower.
The new 84-bed East Tower expands the hospital's inpatient capacity from 537 to 621 and includes more beds for pulmonary/thoracic, oncology, blood and marrow transplant and medical/surgical patients. This is the first major construction project on Northside's Atlanta campus since the expansion of the Women's Center in 2007.
"Northside Hospital continues to see strong growth across many of our services and this project was very important for us to continue to effectively and efficiently meet the health care demand in this area," said Steve Aslinger, director of facilities planning, Northside Hospital. "We're honored that so many patients are choosing Northside for their health care."
Northside Hospital Atlanta opened its doors in 1970 and was the first hospital constructed on what is now commonly referred to as "Pill Hill". The hospital campus served more than 2 million patient encounters in 2017.
Northside opened the new patient tower on a staggered timeline, beginning Feb. 12. The building's main entrance and motor lobby opened last on June 11 and feature several art installations from local artists. The crown jewel is a 2,000-square-foot mural by Atlanta artist Ryan Coleman that surrounds a cement column in the center of the tower's motor lobby.
The mural and additional art were provided by donations made to the Northside Hospital Foundation in memory of Lynn Teague, a past Northside cancer patient.
The mural incorporates the golden color of sunflowers, Lynn's favorite flower, and photos of sunflowers also are installed in the building. Lynn's family hopes the "virtual garden" will create a calm, serene and inspiring place of rest for patients and their families away from the patient's room.
In addition to the new patient tower, Northside is expanding, renovating and reconfiguring some of the clinical and ancillary services (Food Services, Surgery, Labor & Delivery and Critical Care) within the existing hospital building. That work is still underway and is expected be completed in 2019.

PepsiCo Launches Drinkfinity in U.S.
Brad Avery Feb. 19, 2018 at 3:08 pm
After a pilot run in Brazil, PepsiCo's customizable pod-based beverage format Drinkfinity is now available stateside, launching exclusively through the brand's website last week.
Drinkfinity is a beverage system featuring a line of water-enhancer flavor pods designed to be used with a specialized plastic water bottle called a "Vessel." Each pod contains different functional flavors which consumers can mix with water to "Peel, Pop and Shake," according to the company, to create customized, better-for-you beverages. The pods are inserted in a special cap on the vessel which releases the contents into the liquid when squeezed.
The pods currently come in a variety of 12 fruit-based flavors operating in one of four functional "modes," including Charge, made with green coffee extract; Flow, which includes vitamins C and E; Renew, containing electrolytes for workouts; and Chill, for relaxation with botanicals. The line currently features flavors across the four modes, including Mandarin Orange Charge, Lemon Spirulina Flow, Coconut Water Watermelon Renew, and White Peach Chill.
The pods contain about 2 oz. of liquid each, along with dry ingredients, and are all natural. Each pod ranges from 30 to 80 calories.
Speaking to BevNET, Rich Rodriguez, U.S. director of Drinkfinity at PepsiCo, said the different modes can ensure that Drinkfinity can be used any time of day, throughout the day.
"We realized consumers have an interest in preparing their own beverages, so this is a convenient way for them to be able to do this," Rodriguez said.
Speaking to BevNET, Rodriguez said the need for Drinkfinity comes as consumers have increasingly embraced personalized beverages. He noted that cafe chains such as Starbucks and smoothie bars have given consumers increasingly greater control over their beverages, and Drinkfinity offers a similar experience via a CPG product. Customizable beverages have also for years been a popular consumer trend for at-home gadgets, such as Sodastream and Keurig. Companies including Kraft and Coca-Cola have also in the past released liquid water enhancers, and independent brands such as Dyla Brands' Stur have sought to seize on consumers' need for a better-for-you water mixer.
Drinkfinity, however, adds the visceral experience of "popping" the pod and mixing the drink, which Rodriguez said is a major selling point. The portability of the pods and versatility of the vessel as a standard water bottle also help give the line a unique identity.
Drinkfinity also includes a sustainability play, as the reusable bottle and small size of the pods reduce plastic usage by 65 percent when compared to ready-to-drink products, Rodriguez said. Consumers have the option to mail used pods back to PepsiCo for recycling with postage-paid envelopes.
The American Drinkfinity line varies from the Brazilian version, which was designed and launched in the country in 2014. According to Rodriguez, the new flavors are tailored to the American palate and the sugar content has been toned down in order to match health trends.
"We've done a fair amount of testing to make sure that it's on-trend," Rodriguez said. "The Brazilian product is very sweet and bold in flavor, and we believe that what makes more sense in the U.S. is the portfolio we're coming out with that we communicate as 'unapologetically less sweet.'"
Rodriguez said PepsiCo is exploring other channels for Drinkfinity, but the product currently is only available through Drinkfinity.com. The 20 oz. vessel is available for $20 and the pods sell in packs of four and vary in price between $5 and $6.50. Drinkfinity is also offering a subscription model, which is priced at a 10 percent discount.

Preheat oven to 120°C (250°F). Line 2 baking trays with non-stick baking paper. Draw a 21cm circle on each sheet and turn the paper over, to avoid marks transferring.
Place the coffee and water in a small bowl, mix to dissolve and set aside. Place the cornflour and hazelnut meal in a small bowl, mix to combine and set aside.
Place the eggwhite in the bowl of an electric mixer and whisk on high speed until stiff peaks form. Add the sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, whisking for 30 seconds before adding more. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and whisk for a further 2–3 minutes or until the mixture is thick and glossy. Add the cornflour mixture and coffee mixture and whisk until just combined. Divide the mixture evenly between the trays, spreading it within the circles. Bake for 1 hour or until crisp and dry to the touch. Turn the oven off. Allow to cool in the oven with the door closed for 2 hours.
To make the mousse, place the single cream and coffee in a large heatproof bowl over a saucepan of simmering water (the bowl shouldn't touch the water). Whisk to dissolve the coffee. Add the chocolates, whisking until melted. Allow to cool slightly. Add the egg yolks and whisk to combine. Place the eggwhites in a clean bowl of the electric mixer and whisk to soft peaks. Gently fold into the mousse. Add the whipped cream and fold to combine. Refrigerate for 15 minutes.
i made it for christmas this year, and everybody loved it( even my brother who apparently couldn't handle the hazelnuts because he got a rash from it but he loved the taste. i had a little flaw in one of my merengues, and should have baked one of them a little longer.. but i was stubborn and just used it as the bottom one, and i put my cake in the freezer to let it set, and forgot to get it out on time again so people had to wait a little because it was to frozen to cut, but once the had it and it was not frozen anymore but just a little cold everybody liked it very much! (oo and i forgot to dust it with te icing sugar before serving it) ..i will try this again sometime because even with all my mistakes it was soo delicious!


Jul. 24, 2017 6:00 a.m.
Members of both the Progressive Conservatives of Alberta and the Wildrose Party overwhelmingly gave the green light on Saturday to uniting the right.
The Tories supported the move with 95% of members' votes in favour; Wildrose Party members also supported the bid to unite the parties with a 95% approval rate as well.
Jason Kenney, leader of the PCs, told a gathering in Calgary that, "The special resolution is adopted with 95 per cent of the vote.
"Friends, this is a great day for Alberta. Hope is on the horizon – we are renewing the Alberta advantage," he said. "In this democratic decision today, tens of thousands of Albertans have decided to put the future ahead of the past. To focus on what unites us rather than on what divides us. To part with the egos, the brands, the labels and the resentments that have accumulated over a decade of division.
"(We've) decided to put our province ahead of any political party," he said, adding that under the NDP leadership, the province is seeing increased taxation, higher levels of debt and has also lost millions of dollars of investment.
Earlier in the afternoon, as mentioned, an overwhelming majority of Wildrose Party members who cast ballots on uniting with the Progressive Conservatives supported the move.
Party members spent the day at the Radisson Hotel in Red Deer discussing party business and the pros and cons of the move, and ultimately came away supporting it much to the delight of Wildrose Leader Brian Jean.
"Thank you for 'yes'," he told an ecstatic gathering. "What a day for Albertans – what a day for Conservatives and what a day for Wildrose members," he said.
"I said from the very beginning that members needed to make this decision for our party," he said. "And today, they said yes!
"Yes to a brighter future. Yes to building on everything that we have accomplished. And yes to saving Albertans from the NDP government," he said.
"Thank you to our members who have never let us down," he said. "Who have been the lifeblood of our party for nearly a decade.
"Thank you for your time, your donations, and for your passion and love for Alberta," he added.
"I want to say to all the Wildrose members and to all Albertans, today is not the end of Wildrose, but a new beginning where we are one step closer to putting power back into the hands of of the ordinary working people of Alberta," he said.
"We are together going to restore conservative principles to our great province," he said, adding the party sold about 25,000 memberships in just two months leading up to the unity vote.
"What we have achieved together is nothing short of remarkable," he said, adding that serving as Wildrose leader since March of 2015 has been the greatest honour of his life.
"This job matters. It matters because what politicians do affects our loved ones, our friends and our neighbours.
"We participated in this today because we are here to make a difference for our future.
"I've seen the unbreakable hope and the determination of all Albertans to once again make our province the very best that it can be," he said.
Next up, a leadership election is set to happen this October with a founding convention next year.

In Remembrance of the October Revolution
The Communist monster, Vladimir Lenin
This October marks the centennial anniversary of the Bolshevik takeover of Russia and the establishment of Soviet-style Communism which tragically, for the Russian people, would last for some seventy interminable years. Not only did the Soviet regime liquidate and imprison millions, but its idiotic system of central planning impoverished the country, turning it into an economic basket case, the effects of which continue to this day.
Just as bad, the Bolsheviks murdered the last Czar, Nicholas II and his family, brutally ending nearly five hundred years of monarchial rule of Russia. Within a year of the demise of the Russian aristocracy, two other of Europe's venerable royal houses – Germany and Austria – met the same fate, all three casualties of their insane decision to participate in World War I. The end of the German Court and especially that of Austria came at the vengeful insistence of then President Woodrow Wilson, who brought the US into the conflict on the pledge to make the "world safe for democracy."
The triumph of the Bolsheviks and the downfall of the German and Austrian monarchies ushered in the Age of Democracy as other Western constitutional republics at the time and in each passing year began to resemble and adopt features of their supposed Communist foe. As the 20th century wore on, each Western nation state became more "democratic," increasing their welfare/warfare state apparatus, imposing more and more radical egalitarian social and economic measures, and adopting greater amounts of economic planning mostly through central banking. Not only did economic activity become increasingly effected by monetary policy, but the central banks were instrumental in the eradication of the gold standard throughout the Western world.
Not only did Communism prove to be a disaster economically in Russia and everywhere else tried, but socialism had other debilitating effects. The quality of the population declined along with the numbers of ethnic Russians, a trend that ominously continues to this day. While ingenuity was stifled by the Soviet command economy, its culture, although never as advanced as Western Europe, became sterile and overshadowed by the heavy hand of the commissar. The only memorable literature produced during the period were accounts of the gulag and the repression of dissent. Music and the arts were similar cultural wastelands.
The West, too, as its nation states became more socialistic and egalitarian, witnessed retrogression in every aspect of society. The catastrophic drop off in the size of the native populations can largely be attributed to crazed feminism, where women were encouraged and given privileges to pursue careers and become "working moms," which led to the phenomenon of the "dysfunctional family" and declines in the number of child births. Hans-Hermann Hoppe explains this effect in the American context:
In the U.S., . . . less than a century of full-blown
democracy has resulted in steadily increasing
moral degeneration, family and social disintegration,
and cultural decay in the form of continually rising
rates of divorce, illegitimacy, abortion, and crime.
As a result of an ever-expanding list of non-
discrimination – 'affirmative action' – laws and
nondiscriminatory, multicultural, egalitarian
immigration policies, every nook and cranny of
American society is affected by government
management and forced integration.*
Hoppe's seminal demolition of Democracy
A primary reason why the quality of Western life has crumbled so markedly has been the replacement of its "natural elites" with "political elites" via the democratic process. Every society is led by its leading individuals who through talent, hard work, brains, foresight, moral fortitude, fairness, and bravery come to the top and are looked to for guidance. Under democratic conditions, however, the natural elites have, in a sense, been "voted out" by the political class who, instead of out competing their rivals, secure their status by politics mostly through demagogy.
In Soviet Russia, the natural elites were ruthlessly purged by Lenin's forces and over time any sort of advancement or achievement had to come via the Communist Party.
Despite the overwhelming failure of socialism, Western nation states continue to practice many of its features, a most notorious recent example being that of the passage of Obamacare, the first step on the road to universal health care in the US. America, itself, resembles more of a police state than ever before with the establishment of the Department of Homeland Security and the passage of draconian legislation such as the Patriot Act and the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA).
The October Revolution should be remembered for what it was: the inauguration of mankind's first total state. It, and the social system which it spawned, should be condemned by all those who seek prosperity and an advanced civilization.

Vladimir the Great Sums Up Pope Francis the Fake!
Vladimir Putin has once again demonstrated why he is the most perceptive, farsighted, and for a politician, the most honest world leader to come around in quite a while. If it had not been for his patient and wise statesmanship, the world may have already been embroiled in an all encompassing global configuration with the possibility of thermonuclear destruction.
His latest comments on the purported head of the Catholic Church may have been his most perceptive as of yet and should be heeded not only by Western secular leaders, but by the globe's one billion or so Catholics, most of whom regard Jorge Bergoglio as pope.
The Russian President's statement came on a visit to the Naval Cathedral of St. Nicholas in Kronstadt. Mr. Putin succinctly sums up what Pope Francis is not: "If you look around at what he (the Pope) says it's clear that he is not a man of God. At least not the Christian God, not the God of the Bible."*
No truer words have as yet been said about this cretin by a world leader since his wretched pontifical reign began in 2013!
While Mr. Putin and those with "eyes to see and ears to hear" recognize that "Pope Francis" is not a Christian, the current occupant of St. Peter's Chair is disqualified for that position on theological grounds. To be a legitimate pope, one must be "bishop of Rome," and prior to becoming a bishop, one must be a priest. Jorge Bergoglio was not ordained (1969) in the traditional Apostolic ordination rite of the Church, nor was he consecrated (1992) as a true bishop in that rite. His predecessor, Benedict XVI, was, likewise, not consecrated in the traditional rite although he was ordained as a priest under the "old rite."
Simply put: Jorge Bergoglio is just a layman masquerading as a pope as are all of the other priests and bishops which were given Holy Orders under the new rites which came into effect in the aftermath of the Second Vatican Anti-Council (1962-65).
Not only is Pope Francis a Christian fraud as Vladimir Putin and other perceptive commentators have observed, but in secular matters he is a neo-Marxist in economic thought, a One-World Government advocate, and an enthusiast of open borders and mass migration. In other words, an enemy of what is left of Western Civilization.
Mr. Putin accurately describes his "secular sins:"
Pope Francis is using his platform to push a dangerous far-left political ideology on vulnerable people around the world, people who trust him because of his position
He dreams of a world government and a global communist system of repression
As we have seen before in communist states, this system is not compatible with Christianity**
If these despicable qualities are not bad enough, there is a seedier side of Bergoglio that Mr. Putin did not address. Pope Francis is now the third Paedophile Pope who has presided over the Church's Great Sex and Embezzlement Scandal. Neither Francis, or his two derelict predecessors (Benedict XVI, JPII) have done anything to either punish or root out the child predators under their charge. On the contrary, Francis has encouraged perversion with his now infamous statement of "who am I to judge."
The debauchery continues to take place with the latest coming right under the nose of the Argentine heretic. An apartment occupied by the secretary of the Pontifical Council for the Interpretation of Legislative Texts, Franecesco Coccopalmerio, was raided in July to break up a "gay" orgy. The police found drugs and men engaged in orgiastic sex.* Coccopalmerio, who Bergoglio had considered for promotion to bishop, was hauled away and jailed by authorities.
This came on the heels of Cardinal George Pell, the Vatican's Chief Financial Officer, being charged with sex crimes against ten children. Pell has since left Rome in disgrace for his native Australia to answer the charges.
While Western Civilization is on the decline due to economic stupidity and open borders promoted by the likes of Pope Francis, there are a few bright spots, the brightest of which is Vladimir Putin. If the West is ever going to regain its sanity, it should take the sage counsel of the Russian president especially when he speaks of phonies like Pope Francis.

Nikki Haley: Warmonger Extraordinaire!
It must now be a prerequisite of those who become an American ambassador to the UN to possess certain characteristics and traits, the most important of which are rabid warmonger, child killer, and outright liar.
Remember it was Madeleine Albright when asked about the US blockading Iraq which prevented medicine and medical equipment from entering the country that resulted in the estimated death of a half a million children who coldly responded: "I think that is a very hard choice, but the price, we think, the price is worth it." Then there is Colin "Weapons of Mass Destruction" Powell who told a bald-face lie about Iraq's nuclear capabilities which paved the way for the US destruction of the country.
In her brief tenure as UN ambassador, Nikki Haley is fulfilling these requirements quite nicely. Her latest crazed outburst came on the heels of the bizarre White House press release about another supposed Syrian government gas attack which warned President Assad that he would "pay a heavy price" if carried out.*
While the State and Defense Departments were apparently caught off guard by the White House action, Ambassador Haley was not (probably given advanced notice) and issued an even more provocative tweet:
Any further attacks done to the people
of Syria will be blamed on Assad, but
also on Russia & Iran who support him
killing his own people.**
Not only has Haley appointed herself judge, jury and executioner of the Assad regime, but her wild accusation includes reprisals to the neocons' ultimate targets of Russia and Iran. Her ridiculous statement has now given Syria's enemies the green light to conduct another gas attack which will be blamed on Assad and his allies, Russia and Iran. Nice work, Nikki!
From a diplomatic perspective, the entire affair was bungled and amateurish, confirming once again that the Trump Administration is out of its league in conducting foreign policy.
That Haley was even chosen to become part of the Trump Administration has been odd from the beginning, but as things have unfolded quite telling. Haley was a vociferous critic of the future president. She, and the likes of another war-monger and Russophobe, Lindsey Graham, were consistently attacking candidate Trump for being "soft" on Russia and his immigration stance especially his wildly popular border wall proposal. To Haley and Graham, Donald Trump was out of step with the Republican Party's values such as diversity as represented by Haley who, herself, is of Indian heritage.
Yet, despite all of the vitriol heaped at candidate Trump, the newly elected president, in a surprising and ominous move, decided to make the South Carolina governor, UN ambassador. This, and a number of other selections to foreign policy posts, signaled that President Trump would abandon his promises and vote-garnering campaign talk of peaceful coexistence with Russia, a reduction of US presence in the Middle East, and in other hot spots across the globe.
While Haley has been an ardent warmonger from the start, President Trump did not have to select her for the post. There were other more competent and surely less belligerent candidates available. More than likely, the choice was probably a nod to his "advisor" daughter Ivanka, to curry favor among feminists.
While President Trump's pick of Haley was an implicit betrayal of a large segment of his base, his foreign policy actions since becoming chief executive have been an explicit rejection of putting America first which he spoke of at his inaugural. From escalating tensions with puny North Korea, dropping the mother-of-all-bombs on Afghanistan for no apparent reason, to making multi-billion dollar armament deals with the despots of Saudi Arabia among other troubling endeavors, Trump's foreign policy is little different than his infamous predecessors.
While it looks like President Trump may have won the war, at least temporary, over the press and the anti-Trump Congressional forces about the fake Russian election involvement, he and his bellicose UN ambassador are now using the same underhanded methods to instigate a conflict to depose President Assad. While the alternative media rightly showed how the mainstream press and politicos made up and manipulated stories to undermine President Trump, it should now be intellectually honest and call out the president and his UN ambassador for what they are doing in Syria. In doing so, it may prevent the outbreak of WWIII.

On the Commemoration of World War I: From Woodrow Wilson to Donald Trump
It is altogether fitting that the US attack on a Syrian airport, the dropping of a MOAB on defenseless Afghanistan, and the potential outbreak of nuclear war with North Korea have all come in the very month one hundred years earlier that an American president led the nation on its road to empire. President Trump's aggressive actions and all of America's previous imperialistic endeavors can ultimately be traced to Woodrow Wilson's disastrous decision to bring the country into the First World War on April 6, 1917.
This month, therefore, should be one of national mourning for the decision to enter that horrific conflict changed America and, for that matter, the world for the worse.
Had the US remained neutral, the war would most likely have come to a far quicker and more politically palatable conclusion, however, the entry of America on the Entente side prolonged the conflict and extended its economic and political destruction to such a degree that the Old Order could not be put back together again. The great dynasties (Germany, Russia, and especially Austria) were ruthlessly dismantled at the conclusion of WWI by the explicit designs of Wilson which left a power vacuum across Central Europe. The vacuum, of course, was filled by the various collectivist "isms" which produced the landscape for another global conflagration even greater than WWI.
For America, after a brief revival of isolationism and non-interventionist sentiment throughout the land, the country, led by another ruthless and power-mad chief executive, provoked and schemed its way into the second general European war within a generation, this time via "the backdoor" with Japan. A second US intervention, making the war global, could not have come about had there been no WWI, or if that war had ended on better terms.
After the Second World War, the US emerged as the world's dominant power with bases across the globe and entered into a string of never ending hot and cold wars, regime changes, destabilizations, assassinations, bombings, blockades, and economic sanctions that have continued to this very day and hour. Quickly after the war's conclusion, the American media, academia, and the security and military industrial complex had to invent the myth that the Soviet Union and the US were of equal military might which turned out to be a blatant lie. After being decimated in WWII and its adherence to unworkable and economic destructive socialistic planning, the Soviet Union could never produce the wealth necessary to maintain a global empire as the US did, and still does. The "Soviet threat" was always a ruse to get gullible Americans to vote for and support greater and greater "defense" spending.
Besides Ron Paul and to a far lesser extent his son, Donald Trump was the only viable candidate who spoke of taking a new, less interventionist foreign policy which is why he was able to garner so much support from millions of empire-weary Americans during the presidential campaign. He rightly called the Iraqi War a "disaster," spoke of getting along with Russia, and the US's commitment to NATO should be rethought, among other refreshing comments on foreign affairs.
In one of the most memorable and hopeful passages of his Inaugural Address, the new president championed non-intervention abroad:
We will seek friendship and goodwill with the nations of the world, but we do so with the understanding that it is the right of all nations to put their own interests first. We do not seek to impose our way of life on anyone, but rather to let it shine as an example. We will shine for everyone to follow.
Unlike Ron Paul, however, Trump had no grounding in a true America First foreign policy. While critical of his predecessors' foreign policy decisions, Trump was not opposed philosophically to the US Empire or saw it as the greatest threat to world peace which currently exists.
Without an ideological basis against American globalism, Trump was easy pickings against the threats and machinations of the Deep State. Without a refutation of the ideology which drove Wilson and all of his successors to promote military adventurism abroad, Trump will be little different than his imperial predecessors and with a personality that is thin-skinned, impulsive and unpredictable, Trump could, God forbid, become another Woodrow Wilson.

The Cost of a Trump Presidency
Last Thursday's wanton attack on a Syrian air field by the US and its bellicose actions toward North Korea have brought to the forefront the real cost of candidate Trump's landslide victory last November.
Unlike most laymen, accountants, and financial analysts, economists look at cost differently. For economists, cost or more specifically, "opportunity cost," means "a benefit that a person could have received, but gave up, to take another course of action. Stated differently, opportunity cost represents an alternative given up when a decision is made."
Such thinking can be roughly applied to the political realm. In the case of last fall's US Presidential election, the cost of Donald Trump's unexpected victory was not the money spent on the campaign, but the diffusion (hopefully, only temporary) of the growing anti-Establishment groundswell that was percolating not only in America, but across the globe.
The Trump phenomenon, Brexit, Texas secession talk, anti-immigration gatherings, central bank scrutiny, the exposure and decline of the lying, dominant mass media, and other populist movements and causes were symptoms of the masses dissatisfaction with their exploitation by the ruling elites. Trump's triumph has squashed and defused many of these populist uprisings since a number of his campaign themes empathized with these trends.
A similar situation occurred after Ronald Reagan's victory in the 1980 election as the great anti-government wave, which swept him into power, dried up almost immediately since Ronnie was perceived as "one of us." Of course, Reagan was a disaster and fulfilled none of his anti-government campaign rhetoric, but instead went on to become, for a time, the biggest Presidential spender in US history.
A Clinton victory, although certainly tyrannical in the short run, would have, no doubt, furthered the anti-Establishment fires and inspired more. For example, Texas may be now on the road to independence from the Federal Leviathan.
The ills that plague the US and, for that matter, the Western world, will not be solved through a Trump Presidency in "making America great again," but will only come about through political decentralization and the abolition of central banking with a return to sound money. Concomitant with political decentralization and secession is military contraction, as smaller political jurisdictions will have lesser pools of wealth to tap from while the absence of an inflationary central bank will make military adventurism extremely difficult to conduct.
Yet, before such a transformation can take place, an ideological foundation must first be established. A Hillary Clinton Administration would have provided fertile ground for such change.
Since the groundwork for a depoliticized world has not been laid, a Trump Presidency made sense as long as he kept as close as possible to his campaign agenda, the most important of which was foreign policy. His condemnation of the neocons' policies which have bankrupted the nation, murdered thousands of innocents abroad, and heighten tensions everywhere was crucial in his shocking victory last November. It is apparent that he did not understand how important this support was or he would have never undertaken such an utterly stupid decision.
With the strike on Syria and seemingly more military action in the offering, Trump's Presidency is now the worst of all possible worlds, at least in the short run, for those opposed to the New World Order. Most serious observers, however, understood, especially after the appointment of so many Goldman Sachs cretins, Israeli Firsters, and nutty warmongers to his administration, that Trump would eventually succumb to the pressure. More importantly, Trump was never fully grounded in an America First mindset, probably not knowing where that term originated or its gallant founders.
All, however, is not lost.
Trump's capitulation makes it abundantly clear that the system itself is beyond repair. Getting the right individual to salvage the American welfare/warfare state cannot be done. Trump had many advantages that no future candidate will likely possess which means that anybody that follows will be an "insider." Much of his base, therefore, will no longer support a future Republican candidate or will give him only lukewarm support . With no independent personality to rally around, the millions of disappointed Trumpians will seek new governing paradigms which hopefully will lead to the growth of secession movements.
Ultimately, however, a permanent American foreign policy of non intervention, peace, and free trade will only come about when there is a change in the prevailing ideology of society where all contenders for political office espouse such a notion and today's warmongers are seen for what they are: enemies of humanity and its Creator.

The American Empire and Economic Collapse
Despite the widespread hope among libertarians, classical liberals, non-interventionists, progressive peaceniks, and all those opposed to the US Empire that it may have some of its murderous reins pulled in with the election of Donald Trump, it appears that such optimism has now been dashed. While the hope for a less meddlesome US foreign policy is not completely extinguished and would never have existed had the Wicked Witch of Chappaqua been elected, a number of President Trump's foreign policy actions, so far, have been little different than his recent predecessors.
President Trump's biggest blunder was his acquiesce to the Deep State's coup of General Michael Flynn, the most Russian friendly among Trump's foreign policy entourage. Since Flynn's abrupt departure, there has been little talk of a rapprochement with Russia, but instead there has been continued saber rattling by the war mongers that Trump has, unfortunately, chosen to surround himself with.
The most recent Russian badgering has come from Secretary of Defense, James "Mad Dog" Mattis who wrongly accused it of "bad behavior:" "Russia's violations of international law are now a matter of record from what happened with Crimea to other aspects of their behavior in mucking around other people's elections and that sort of thing."* Of course, the US has never tried to influence the outcomes of elections or "mucked around" in the affairs of sovereign countries, heaven forbid!
While candidate Trump correctly spoke of the Iraqi War as a disaster and US Middle Eastern policy as a failure, he has done little to alter course in the region, but continues to follow and has, in some instances, escalated tensions. Some ominous examples:
Bombing raids of Mosul killing over 200 civilians
The deployment of another 1,000 ground troops to Syria
Additional US ground troops "expected" to be deployed to Afghanistan
Continuous threats to Iran – "put on notice"
In the Far East, President Trump has done little to alleviate hostilities. In a belligerent March tweet during Secretary of State, Rex Tillerson's trip to the region, he wrote: "North Korea is behaving very badly. They have been 'playing' the United States for years. China has done little to help."**
A number of perceptive commentators think otherwise and have shown that it has been the US over the years that has acted disingenuously. "Despite Western media demonization of North Korea as some kind of crazy rogue state," Finian Cunningham points out, "the people there are not fools. They know from family histories the atrocious cost of American war. And they know that any nation perceived as weak by Washington will be bombed back to the Stone Age."***
These trends, and the President's unnecessary request for increased "defense spending," all point to more of the same for US overseas relations. In fact, there will most likely be continued military escalation if the likes of General "Mad Dog" Mattis get their way.
It is now apparent that the only way in which significant change will come about in American foreign affairs will be if there is a severe financial crisis which impairs the nation enough so that it can no longer bankroll its military adventurism. History has a number of examples of this.
Great Britain, who the US Empire is largely patterned after, lost its empire when it became financially exhausted due, in large part, to its insane decision to enter the two World Wars of the past century. To fight in those conflagrations drained Britain of its wealth and devastated it demographically which it, and the rest of Europe, has never recovered.
The US is heading down a similar path of decline as it has squandered its wealth and treasure in the maintenance of an overseas empire while it has expanded its welfare state at home, meaning less wealth which can be tapped from an increasingly unproductive and parasitic populace. Couple this with an onerous tax burden, an inflationist monetary policy which has destroyed the purchasing power of the dollar, and gargantuan public debt and you have primed the country for a financial cataclysm.
Despite the dramatic fall in the standard of living and the immense social strife and unrest that an economic collapse would bring about, there is a silver lining. Like Great Britain before it, a financial crisis and/or the loss of the dollar as the world's reserve currency would force the US to abandon its overseas empire – closing bases, bringing troops home, and stopping intervention in the myriad of arenas across the planet.
A defunct US Empire would also be bad news and mean grisly retribution for all those lackeys and puppets who have been supported and propped up by American might: another positive aspect to the end of the Empire.
The collapse will mean America, too, will face reprisals from all those who have suffered under its hegemony. The payback will come from both economic warfare as the US has used through its "Dollar Diplomacy" to control and manipulate foreign economies and by some sort of military humiliation.
The impact of an economic collapse could be mitigated somewhat if the US abandoned its role as global policeman as resources squandered abroad could be then available for the rebuilding of the domestic economy while, at the same time, hostility with America's adversaries would be reduced.
Unless President Trump replaces the warmongers and interventionists which he has unwisely surrounded himself with and return to his wildly popular campaign promise of an American First foreign policy, the US Empire will remain the greatest threat to world peace that currently exists. If things continue as such, it will only be through the comeuppance of Economic Mother Nature when She bursts the American bubble economy that the Empire upon which it rests will, at long last, come to a fitting and much needed end!

K-2, or the Mt Godwin Austen or simply Chogori in local Baltit language, is the world second highest mountain after the Everest, located in Pakistan. This 8,611 meters (28,251 feet) high mountain is also known as the Savage Mountain as it is more dangerous to attempt than the Everest and only those who dare can attempt it. K-2 was first attempted by an Italian expedition in 1954 and since then has been centre of attractions of serious and adventure loving mountaineers.
Recently, K2 was attempted by an Austrian woman – who dared it without Oxygen cylinder and stood atop the savage mountain, happy, smiling and proud of her feat on August 23, 2011 at 6:20 PM (local time). Gerlinde Kaltenbrunner has reason to be happy as she is the first woman ever to have accomplished this unique honour. Not only this, she also becomes the first woman to have conquered all 14 eight thousanders without artificial oxygen.
K-2 has not been new to Gerlinde Kaltenbrunner as she has already attempted it six times. She was accompanied on her way to the top by the Kazakh climbers Maxut Zumayev and Vassiliy Pivtsov, and Darek Zaluski of Poland.The team attempted K-2 from the Chinese north side for the first time. Previously, Kaltenbrunner had scaled K2 from the Pakistani side.
Gerlinde Kaltenbrunner would badly miss her friend and fellow-climber Fredrik Ericsson from Sweden who died while attempting K-2 in August 2010.
Kaltenbrunner is a trained nurse who started climbing in her youth. She lives in the German state of Baden-Wuerttemberg with her husband.

All set for MRF Challenge
V. V. Subrahmanyam
ABU DHABI:, October 30, 2015 04:16 IST
The Indian campaign in the MRF Challenge 2015 season, which gets going with the first round at the Yas Marina circuit here on Friday, will be led by Tarun Reddy, Arjun Narendran and Karthik Tharani. The qualifying rounds are also scheduled for Friday.
Karthik will have a feel of this Challenge for the first time having won the 2015 MRF 1600 championship. He will be joined by second runner-up Arjun and the 2014 champion Tarun Reddy.
The FIA-sanctioned event, the only Indian-based motorsport series to continuously race internationally, next moves to Bahrain (November) and Dubai (December) before culminating at Chennai in January next year.
Prize money of Rs. 65 lakh is at stake.
MRF MD Arun Mammen believes the MRF Challenge provides a great opportunity for young drivers to make a name and the chance to race on some of the famed Formula One circuits.
"The series this time around will go one step ahead by running on the GP2 and GP3 cars in Bahrain. The schedule of this edition confirms our commitment to promote motorsport not only nationally, but internationally as well," he said.
The line-up is headed by GP2 driver Nobuharu Matsushita, a teammate of GP2 champion Stoffel Vandoorne, and he will be joined by two-time F1 World Champion Emerson Fittipaldi's grandson, Pietro Fittipaldi, who won the Protyre Formula Renault Championship in 2014.
Jake Dennis, who finished third in this year's FIA F3 Europe championship with six wins, is expected to be one of the favourites this weekend. The other big name is Harrison Newey, son of famed Formula One engineer Adrian Newey. Three women drivers — Tatiana Calderon, Alice Powell and Laura Tillett — are also in the fray.
India's first-ever Formula One driver Narain Karthikeyan says it is great to see the MRF passion for the sport only increase season by season. "I expect the cars to be around 1.5 seconds quicker this year which will bring them closer to the European F3 cars," he pointed out.
The Challenge will feature 16 MRF Formula 2000 race cars, which have been made in India by JA Motorsport in collaboration with Dallara, the world's largest racing car manufacturer, and Jayem Automotives Ltd.
"The MRF Challenge is slowly becoming a popular destination for European drivers. This is a testament to the commitment from MRF Tyres to make this series one of the biggest in Asia. We continue to push the boundaries by targeting new circuits year after year," said JA Motorsport MD J. Anand.
