Ramipril  è una molecola appartenente alla classe degli ACE inibitori (inibitori dell'enzima che converte l'angiotensina), utilizzata come farmaco nel trattamento dell'ipertensione e di alcuni tipi di insufficienza cardiaca cronica. In Italia, il farmaco è venduto dalla società farmaceutica Sanofi-Aventis con il nome commerciale di Triatec, e dalla società farmaceutica Polifarma con il nome commerciale di Quark, nella forma farmaceutica di compresse da 1,25 mg, 2,5 mg, 5 mg e 10 mg.  Il farmaco è inoltre prodotto e commercializzato da numerose altre società farmaceutiche (Sandoz, Zentiva e altri) come medicinale equivalente.

Farmacodinamica
Ramipril è un ace-inibitore, ovvero un inibitore dell'enzima che converte l'angiotensina (ACE), cioè di quella peptidildipeptidasi che catalizza la conversione dell'angiotensina I in angiotensina II, dotata di marcata attività vasocostrittiva. L'inibizione avviene per il legame del farmaco all'atomo di zinco contenuto nell'enzima. Il farmaco, inibendo l'ACE, riduce la sintesi dell'angiotensina II nel tessuto e nel plasma, e per questo motivo abbassa la pressione arteriosa, riducendo le resistenze vascolari periferiche senza far aumentare in via riflessa gittata cardiaca, contrattilità miocardica e frequenza cardiaca. La ridotta sintesi di angiotensina II comporta, inoltre, una ridotta secrezione di aldosterone. La ridotta secrezione di aldosterone determina, a sua volta, un aumento dei livelli sierici di potassio. Il ramipril eserciterebbe la sua attività anche sul sistema callicreina-chinine-prostaglandine: determina infatti una riduzione della velocità di inattivazione della bradichinina. La riduzione dei livelli di angiotensina II provoca minor vasocostrizione, l'aumento della bradichinina produce vasodilatazione: i due effetti risultano sinergici e con ciò si raggiunge l'effetto farmacologico finale.
Ramipril ha dimostrato di ridurre significativamente lo sviluppo di microalbuminuria e questo effetto è stato dimostrato sia in pazienti ipertesi che in pazienti normotesi.

Usi clinici
Ramipril trova indicazione in cardiologia per il trattamento dell'ipertensione arteriosa (singolarmente oppure in associazione con altri farmaci, ad esempio diuretici e calcio-antagonisti), dell'insufficienza cardiaca e dello scompenso cardiaco, dei postumi dell'infarto miocardico acuto in soggetti che presentano segni e sintomi di insufficienza cardiaca congestizia (specialmente se di età superiore a 55 anni).
Il farmaco è anche indicato per il trattamento della nefropatia in soggetti non diabetici e nelle complicazioni renali (ad esempio la microalbuminuria) associate al diabete mellito, inoltre il Ramipril è indicato nella prevenzione secondaria di eventi cardio-cerebrovascolari in pazienti con pregresso infarto miocardico, ictus, malattia arteriosa periferica (AOP) anche con fattori di rischio come ipertensione, fumo di sigaretta, iperlipidemia (inclusa ipercolesterolemia totale e/o LDL) e microalbuminuria.

Effetti collaterali ed indesiderati
Alcuni degli effetti indesiderati sono cefalea, dispepsia, leucopenia, vertigini, nausea, diarrea, vomito, febbre, ipoglicemia, affaticamento, porpora, anemia, broncospasmo, artralgia, dolore toracico, angina, stomatite, congiuntivite, ansia, disfunzione erettile, alopecia, onicolisi, bronchite, confusione, sincope.

In alcuni soggetti ramipril può comportare l'insorgenza di angioedema e reazioni allergiche. È stata inoltre segnalata la possibile comparsa di rash cutaneo, sindrome di Raynaud, vasculiti, sindrome di Stevens-Johnson.

In alcuni individui ramipril può provocare ipotensione immediatamente dopo l'assunzione della prima dose di farmaco (cosiddetto effetto ipotensione da prima dose).
Alcune categorie di soggetti vanno incontro con maggiore frequenza all'effetto ipotensione da prima dose: si tratta dei pazienti con elevati livelli di renina plasmatica, dei pazienti con ipovolemia, di soggetti in trattamento con diuretici oppure disidratati, in emodialisi, in regime alimentare povero di sodio, affetti da ipertensione reno-vascolare o da scompenso cardiaco congestizio.
Per questo motivo si consiglia di testare la risposta pressoria individuale con una piccola dose test. È necessario sospendere l'utilizzo eventuale di diuretici prima di eseguire la prova.
In ogni caso, per ridurre l'insorgenza dell'"effetto di prima dose", è utile iniziare il trattamento al dosaggio più basso, quindi aumentare la dose a seconda della risposta terapeutica e della tollerabilità del paziente. Altro accorgimento utile si è rivelata la somministrazione della prima dose alla sera prima di coricarsi.

In soggetti con ischemia miocardica o pregressi disturbi cerebrovascolari, l'ipotensione indotta dall'assunzione del farmaco può provocare infarto miocardico o ictus.
L'ipotensione indotta da ramipril può precipitare in un'insufficienza renale acuta grave in soggetti appartenenti a categorie a rischio (soggetti con grave disidratazione, con insufficienza cardiaca, con ipovolemia). Per ridurre il rischio di ipotensione, è opportuno sospendere temporaneamente l'eventuale assunzione di un diuretico e/o correggere l'omeostasi in caso di disturbi dell'equilibrio elettrolitico, come ad esempio una contemporanea terapia con diuretici, dialisi, dieta iposodica, diarrea e/o vomito protratti nel tempo. La minimizzazione del rischio di ipotensione arteriosa può rendere opportuno ripristinare l'equilibrio elettrolitico e/o i liquidi tramite la somministrazione di infusioni di soluzione fisiologica o ringer-lattato.
Nei soggetti con scompenso cardiaco ed in terapia con un diuretico dell'ansa ad elevato dosaggio, l'ipotensione da ACE-inibitore può risultare decisamente più frequente e marcata. Per ridurre il rischio, il diuretico potrebbe essere sospeso temporaneamente, tenendo presente che una simile scelta potrebbe però indurre edema polmonare come effetto rebound.
In caso di ipotensione conclamata, è necessario tenere il paziente in posizione supina. Oltre al ripristino della volemia (tramite infusioni per via endovenosa di soluzione fisiologica salina), è possibile ricorrere ad amine vasopressororie (ad esempio adrenalina, noradrenalina, dopamina).

Ramipril, sia pure raramente, può essere causa di episodi di tossicità midollare. Il farmaco è stato associato a discrasia ematica, leucopenia, neutropenia e agranulocitosi, trombocitopenia, depressione midollare. Questi effetti si registrano, in particolare, in caso di insufficienza renale, patologie cardiovascolari, sindromi immunosoppressive ed in presenza di malattie del collagene (sclerodermia, lupus eritematoso), specie se in presenza di trattamento chemioterapico contemporaneo con antimetaboliti o di terapia cortisonica.

Controindicazioni
L'alterata funzionalità epatica non rappresenta una controindicazione assoluta alla somministrazione di ramipril. Tuttavia, nei soggetti con insufficienza epatica, la somministrazione di ramipril richiede cautela, poiché è possibile che si verifichi una riduzione dell'attività terapeutica del farmaco, che è strettamente legata alla concentrazione del suo metabolita attivo, il ramiprilato, ottenuto per azione delle esterasi epatiche.

Ramipril, similmente ad altri ACE-inibitori così come anche altri farmaci ad azione vasodilatante, deve essere somministrato con estrema cautela in soggetti che presentano ostruzione a livello valvolare (stenosi aortica, stenosi della valvola mitrale) e nel tratto di deflusso del ventricolo sinistro (cardiomiopatia ipertrofica ostruttiva). Queste patologie rappresentano, pertanto, una controindicazione relativa. In anni recenti, alcuni studi hanno comunque evidenziato che enalapril, ramipril e gli altri ACE-inibitori sono generalmente ben tollerati nei soggetti con stenosi aortica severa, migliorano significativamente la tolleranza allo sforzo e riducono la dispnea. Il farmaco non è raccomandato in caso di shock cardiogeno ed ostruzione emodinamica importante.

Dosi terapeutiche
 Scompenso cardiaco, 1,25 mg al giorno (sotto controllo medico), (dose massima 10 mg al giorno)
 Ipertensione, 1,25 mg al giorno (dose massima 10 mg al giorno)
 Come profilassi dopo un infarto miocardico acuto,  2,5 mg al giorno.

Gravidanza ed allattamento
La somministrazione di ramipril nelle donne gravide non è raccomandata, in particolare durante il primo trimestre, per la possibile tossicità fetale.
Per questo motivo le donne in età fertile e che hanno il dubbio di essere gravide dovrebbero eseguire sempre un test di gravidanza prima di iniziare la terapia con il farmaco. Successivamente è bene vengano adottate valide misure contraccettive. Se nonostante ciò fosse diagnosticata una gravidanza, la terapia farmacologica deve essere immediatamente sospesa.

Gli studi sperimentali hanno messo in evidenza il possibile passaggio nel latte materno di piccole quantità di enalapril. Se durante l'allattamento il trattamento con ramipril è ritenuto necessario, pur in assenza di rilevanti effetti clinici, in via precauzionale l'allattamento al seno deve essere interrotto.

Interazioni
Drospirenone: il trattamento di associazione con ramipril può comportare un aumento delle concentrazioni plasmatiche di potassio. È opportuno monitorare la kaliemia durante il primo ciclo di trattamento con anticoncezionali contenenti drospirenone.
Sali di potassio, diuretici risparmiatori di potassio: la somministrazione contemporanea di diuretici risparmiatori di potassio (amiloride, triamterene, spironolattone) oppure di sali di potassio non è raccomandata per il possibile aumento della kaliemia.
Allopurinolo, immunosoppressori, corticosteroidi, procainamide, citostatici: questi come altri farmaci che sono in grado di alterare il quadro ematico, possono aumentare il rischio di reazioni ematologiche date da ramipril.
Sali di litio: l'eliminazione del litio può essere ridotta dalla somministrazione di ramipril. La ridotta escrezione può portare ad un aumento della concentrazione sierica del litio e della sua tossicità.
Antidiabetici (insulina, sulfoniluree): ramipril può determinare una ridotta resistenza all'insulina. In alcuni soggetti tale riduzione può comportare ipoglicemia anche grave in soggetti in trattamento concomitante con antidiabetici.

2019 Jaguar I-Pace electric car range: Why the short circuit?
Bengt Halvorson March 21, 2019
It's not unusual for fuel gauges on gasoline cars to be inaccurate. Often they can hug "Full" so long you might suspect it's malfunctioning—only to then swing rapidly toward the halfway mark and below. Usually these idiosyncrasies are no big deal. When the low-fuel light and chime prompt you, you're almost always within distance of a gas station, where you can fuel up and be back on your way in minutes. For electric cars, the same is not true. Unfortunately, it's a version of this that can make road-trip time in some electric vehicles a harrowing experience. The...

Some Tesla Model 3 cars haunted by "phantom touch" and "vampire draw" (updated)
Eric C. Evarts April 16, 2018
At this point, the variable build quality of early Tesla Model 3 electric cars has been well documented. One of the main issues is the "phantom touch" on the car's all-important central display. The phantom touch is what Green Car Reports reader Jeff Southern of Atlanta suffered in his car before he invited us to drive it for our full review. Like many Model 3 owners, Southern had to have his car's central touch screen replaced after the screen started randomly "touching" a point at the side of the screen, as described by several owners from January through this month in a post on the Tesla...

Rising out of it is century-long-infancy, internet advertising is fast overtaking traditional advertising mediums like magazines, magazines and in many cases the radio. Almost all of the business owners happen to be fast driving a car at the conclusion the fact that the Internet is now becoming a vital tool, when it comes to the daily running with their businesses. With regards to brand understanding, its acceptance and networking, the huge effectiveness of the Internet cannot be area pressed. Besides, online advertising may directly connect with the sales of a product, which is also vitally important for a firm.
With almost all world wide web visitors ready for online advertising in commercial websites, the promoters have also well-known its accurate potential and the various possibilities it creates for the target viewers. Thus, clientele who every depend on the advertisements added to the website have come to realize that they require a web site design providing you with the necessary display screen space and a proper structure for offering advertisements. Hence, the website stylish must be capable to design and develop a internet site that can create advertisement earnings and at the same time meet the needs of visitors.
In general, the internet designers seldom concern themselves with what advertising will appear inside the website site.Again, not really making a note of them when planning the page design may result in an exceedingly awkward web site layout. And so its far better to consider the placement of the advertising during the initially stage of your designing method, giving the website an organised look if it is complete. In this article the website custom has to produce an overall sensitive balance, keeping both the advertisers as well as the guests in mind and what will appeal to both of them. The designer must see that, rarely, should the stream of the content material or information concerning the website become disrupted.
Some of the couple of vital points that the site designer will need to keep in mind while designing the net page range from the layout and spacing within the advertisements. Adverts can easily have up significant chunks of space in the layout of any website, be it a big banner or a number of smaller ones. Here the internet site designer will have to follow a few layout strategies, so asto supply the advertisements a feel of being an integral part of the full complete web page.
Next thing to be kept in mind may be the colour systems used in the advertisements. Via the internet advertisements sometimes use smart and brilliant colours in order to make them stand out and get the viewer's attention. Below the job within the website trendy will be to get the colour plan and make a decision on shades which will match the colours made use of in the advertisements and not make the page mimic an artist's palette. Set up designer have never seen the advertisement to be put on the web page, it is always far better to play secure using moderate colour systems.
Above all, the website trendy has to give more top priority to the key flow info or content material of the internet site, for which the website is being manufactured in the first place. In the event the website may be a e-commerce kind of website, in that case there will be even more advertisements in comparison to a normal web-site. So , placement of the . advertising and the articles has to be well-balanced and the fashionable will have to have got quite a foresight so as to make a success of the full website.
Thus the effort of the site designer is fairly challenging when he will have to continue to keep an ongoing tabs on the impression of on-line advertisements on your website layout.

Replacing The Gasoline-Powered Combustion Engine
The automotive world is changing as drivers and others become more concerned about the environment. The impact of car exhaust, in particular, has come under examination by many scientific minds. A great many people in the scientific field believe that the exhaust produced by vehicles that use the internal combustion engine contributes to the recent warming of the Earth's temperatures. As a result, there are a number of initiatives under way to alter how cars are powered and change what they emit as they function.
While many fuel additives are used to make cars run faster, the US government has mandated the use of certain control additives for cars. These additives improve fuel mileage minimally and thus contribute to less fuel consumption as a way to deter the effects of vehicle exhaust on the air.
Solar Powered Cars
The concept of a solar powered car has been around for a while. However, it is difficult to implement this idea. The power delivered by photovoltaic cells is limited to the amount of space they occupy. A typical car, even when completely covered in these impractical devices, does not generate enough power to operate as most cars are operated. However, there have been some developments in solar power use, such as recharging batteries with solar power and deriving a short period of gas-free operation.
The electric car has gained a lot of attention recently and is probably the leading concept in the eventual replacement of gasoline-powered cars. None of these cars can operate extensively on electricity and most have gas tanks as well as batteries that they use to power the engine. Many of them can operate on battery power for a while and then recharge the battery as the car drives around later using its combustion engine.
Hydrogen Cars The hydrogen concept has never gotten very far. Hydrogen, though the most common element in the universe, still remains an expensive fuel. Furthermore, a hydrogen-powered vehicle creates greenhouse gases when burning hydrogen.
There has been some advance in hybrid vehicles. A hybrid is any vehicle that uses gasoline and some other resource to power it. One of the most popular uses natural gas rather than the oil-based gasoline that others use.
The number of vehicle options increases every day. The gasoline-powered vehicle remains the most popular right now. Time will tell which replacement vehicle will win the day.

mommy mood swings: A boys love for cars
Mommy mood swings : boys and cars, perpetuating a stereotype?
He used to call them gree, may be because I used to call 'car - gadhi ' while we went on stroller rides. His favourite book was an atlas , with vehicles like planes and cars . Till 18 months he had no screen time, and on his 18 month he was crying inconsolably in the car when his uncle / maamu showed him a video of wheels on the bus. That moment , sitting in the car, driving from Palvolem to Margao, my son fell head over heels in love with the rhyme. We have heard it for 6 months straight now, everyday all day sometimes. For a vehicularly challenged mom it is amazing and amusing for me to see him tossing in his sleep saying ' purple car, red double decker bus' and no one has ever said " green garbage truck" with such love and affection.
I have always been very vocal about Gender equality and while I grew up never being denied or forced to take up on any particular gender activity, being pregnant had really got me thinking about genders.
It all started with a relative asking me to get a 'sex determination ' test. I would have loved to know if I had a boy or a girl, just so that I could refer to him/her, rather than an 'IT'. An emotion which I realise a lot of parent around the world share. We don't want to know the sex of the child for anything other than to feel closer to the baby. We ofcourse did not find out about the sex of the child, since it is illegal in India, but it did lead to my first blog post as 'MOMMY MOOD SWINGS , about a mothers love.
As the pregnancy progressed I doubted my ability to raise a boy. Why? Because I am a girl, and I didn't know how boys react. Also bringing up a well rounded boy in a patriarchial society is difficult. I wanted my boy, if I had a boy, to be a caring and gentle and a 'good boy', would society allow that? And these were again questions which were not only being raised by me, but by other first time moms, even on TV shows like Girls, and Gilmore girls. And that led me to my next blog post as a pregnant mom under Mommy mood swings, which you can read HERE
By now I have painted a picture of who I am : A feminist, who even if she had a boy, would love it for all her worth, but be sure to raise him equal to how she would raise any child, without the privileges that his gender provided him in society.
And then my son was born.
And as he turned two this week, our house is filled with cars, trucks, buses of every shape and colour.
His waking words, are purple double decker bus, and he goes to sleep mumbling green garbage truck.
I was amazed.
My husband quipped in " Boys will be boys."
And good natured friends , helped me understand this phenomenon, with "its genetics."
But I needed to dig deeper, so I took the deep dive into researching why my son loves cars, buses and trucks.
It seems it is not as simple as Genetics.
Genetics, or the XY chromosome, only helps in identifying genetic sex, this in turn leads to the genetic organ formations. But ' Gender Identity' or which sex the child identifies themselves with is because of the internal levels of testosterone in there prenatal life in the womb, as well as the amount of testosterone after birth.

Siebert, and Kim Wallen, showed preferences to toys based on gender using first vervet then the rhesus monkeys. Male monkeys favored toys considered to be for boys (ball, car), while female monkeys were drawn to stereotypical girl toys (baby doll).
The fascinating thing about the studies is that the subjects had no external pressure to play with one toy over the other. They were not under any societal pressure or influence to choose a toy based on what they should because of gender norms and roles.
Researchers suggest that testosterone is the reason. Children, generally boys, with higher levels of testosterone are drawn to toys labeled as male-typical toys.
By now I realised that my sons affinity towards cars was not just because he was bormn a boy, but also because of the internal hormonal balances which helped him identify as one. And the other thing was that I nor society had had much say in the matter. My son sees me drive a car, my neighbour drives her kids and my son to the park, so I doubt he considers cars as a 'male toy' or something that only 'men do'. He also is surrounded by women, and has been exposed to building blocks, colouring books, sorting puzzles, all toys that are stimulating and gender neutral.
But why would male sex hormones make people favor wheeled vehicles and balls? A common explanation holds that these toys facilitate more vigorous activity, which boys are evolutionarily programmed to seek out. But the 2009 study indicated that their affinity for balls and trucks starts before the stage when children actually start playing with toys. At just 3 months old, the newborn boys already fixed their eyes on the toys associated with their gender. "Given that these babies lack physical abilities that would allow them to 'play' , our finding suggests that males preference for male-typical toys are not determined by the activities supported by the toys (i.e., movement, rough play)," Alexander said.
Toddlers with higher levels of testosterone are more active than toddlers with lower levels of the sex hormone, but the active toddlers moved around just as much when holding a toy truck, ball or doll. "We find no evidence to support the widely held belief that boys prefer toys that support higher levels of activity," she wrote in an email. And this is true. My son is very active, and if
If it isn't vigorous activity they're after, it could be that boys simply find balls and wheeled vehicles more interesting, while human figures appeal more to girls. As for why evolution would program these toy preferences, the researchers have a few ideas. According to Alexander, one possibility is that girls have evolved to perceive social stimuli, such as people, as very important, while the perceived worth of social stimuli (and thus, dolls that look like people) is weaker in boys.
Boys, meanwhile, tend to develop superior spatial navigation abilities. "Multiple studies in humans and primates shows there is a substantial male advantage in mental rotation, which is taking an object and rotating it in the mind," Wallen said. "It could be that manipulating objects like balls and wheels in space is one way this mental rotation gets more fully developed."
All of this scientific data made me wonder; do I have no say in what my son likes?
It also made me retrospect, why did I find it so fascinating that my son should like cars. Would I have worried if my daughter loved cars? No, I would have applauded her for breaking the mould. And if my son had been drawn towards pink frilly dolls? I would have celebrated his choices. But the fact that my son was so , for want of a better word, typical, had had me , a person who had always tried to break convention and step away from the stereotypical had finally bowed to nature.
What had started out as a mothers fascination with her sons fascination in cars, had led to more deeper questions on nature versus nurture.
I am looking forward to the years ahead, when I continue to try and understand the basic tenant of parenting; knowing that your child is his/her own person, we are here to celebrate them and love them and let them become the person they want to be ,and were meant to be.

R&R takes its plastic packaging in-house
R&R Ice Cream has invested £3m in making its manufacturing process more self-sufficient and improving its green credentials.
The company, which makes Nestlé ice cream under licence, has taken 60% of its plastic packaging production in-house and has also extended its facilities to enable it to produce the ripple sauces used in some of its products.
Both moves would help reduce the company's carbon footprint and give R&R greater control over product quality and lead times, marketing director Phil Griffin told The Grocer.
There were plans to take the remaining 40% in house next year, if the move proved to "add value and allow us better control of costs", he said.
R&R has also invested in its own effluent treatment plant, which means the water used to wash down machinery is being treated on site, further reducing carbon footprint and costs.

The Women of the Reich: Wendy Lower's "Hitler's Furies"
By Alexis Coe
ON A SUMMER DAY in 1943, Erna Petri took in the rolling hills and meadows on the road back from Lviv, the Ukrainian city where she frequently went shopping. The sun shone bright, allowing her to spot something in the distance. She instructed the coachman to slow the horse-drawn carriage, and, sure enough, she found six children cowering by the side of the road, their tremulous bodies barely covered by scraps of cloth. Petri brought the hungry, scared children back to the white-pillared manor she shared with her husband, Horst, their four-year-old son and infant daughter. She gathered food from the kitchen, and fed the children as she contemplated what to do next. Horst was not at home. There were no expectations of Erna, as a wife and mother, to act before he returned, but she understood why the children were roaming the countryside. She knew that, just days earlier, their tiny, naked bodies had escaped a crammed Judenwagen headed for the gas chamber. And so she beckoned them to follow her yet again. This time, she led them away from the house, across the terracotta tiles on the floor of the north portico and vestibule, past the garden and chicken coops and servants' quarters. When they reached the pit in the woods, Petri ordered the children to turn around and, clutching the pistol her father had given her as a parting gift, she shot them each in the back of the neck, one by one. Petri would later testify that two of the boys cried, but they were too exhausted to flee. She felt no remorse. In her mind, these children were altogether different from her own, tucked safely inside the house. They were enemies of the state, ones that almost got away.
Women like Petri, according to the historian Wendy Lower's new book Hitler's Furies: German Women in the Nazi Killing Fields, "were not marginal sociopaths," but ordinary German citizens. These women were raised in the shadow of World War I, and their primary education consisted of ideological indoctrination. The League of German Girls were taught to reject makeup and cultivate their beauty outdoors, to seek a dewy glow from marching drills and sharpshooting. In school, Petri no doubt received the Third Reich's pamphlet on finding a husband, a process that began by asking, "What is your racial background?" They were trained to be "patriotic nurturers and combatants," and their schooling primarily focused on their roles as future wives and mothers. If all went well, they would soon receive a wedding edition of Mein Kampf from the Führer himself.
Petri was just one of about 500,000 German and Austrian women, aged 17 to 30 years old, who went east during World War II. Hitler called for the restoration of Germany's 1914 borders, and he used evocative imagery of the American West to do it. The accompanying propaganda included a board game depicting German settlers as pioneers, and photographs of SS policemen riding across the plains on motorcycles. If a "civilizing mission" to establish Aryan living spaces abroad was not enough to tempt a youthquake, the explicit opportunities for professional advancement sealed the deal.
Between 1941 and 1944, Poland, Belarus, Ukraine, Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia became a Nazi playground for these teachers, secretaries, radio operators, wire tappers, welfare workers, lovers, and wives. The killing fields served as a backdrop for women's youthful adventures, their first chance to travel, work, fall in love, marry, and have children. At home, whether they hailed from small villages or big cities, there were shortages of every kind. But in the East, a poor farm girl like Petri could live in a mansion replete with an elaborate balcony on which to perch, plantation-style, and shoot Jewish workers. Single women fared well, too: away from home for the first time, they were suddenly able to procure new clothing and attend raucous parties. Some took advantage of their proximity to men in power, and mistresses became wives.
Violence, as Lower points out, was often entangled with both intimacy and recreation for women in the Nazi East. It was not uncommon to pass mass graves while taking a lover's stroll in the forest, or picnic near a concentration camp within visible range of smoke rising from a crematorium. In Belarus, a German commissioner and his lover-secretary obstinately took to the countryside for wintertime hunts, substituting Jews for hibernating animals. Malnourished and exhausted, they made for easy targets.
The women Lower depicts not only ignored these grisly details; in some cases, they relished them. In a letter home to her fiancé, the daughter of a Nazi district chief in Warthegau, Poland, demonstrates a cruel fascination with a "species verging on extinction":
It's really fantastic […] A whole city district totally sealed off by a barbed-wire fence … You mostly see just riff-raff loafing about. On their clothes, they have a yellow Star of David both behind and in the front (Daddy's invention, he speaks only about the starry sky of Lodz) […] You know, one really can't have any sympathy for these people. I think that they feel very differently from us and therefore don't feel this humiliation and everything.
To varying degrees, young women in the Nazi East enabled or enacted horrific crimes against humanity. Men controlled the agencies that organized and carried out the Reich's campaigns, but women worked in and for these massive state-run machines of destruction. They wielded unprecedented power by association over a group of people categorized as "subhuman," and, like their husbands, they had been socialized to "witness suffering arrogantly."
Those women who did experience traces of empathy upon arrival expressed desires to become rid of it. In a letter home, a Nazi secretary bemoaned her inability to stoically process the orders for mass murder that came across her desk, written in a code few around her understood. She hoped to adjust soon, to "[n]ot think, not feel." Ilse Struwe, a teacher, similarly used her role as witness to cultivate apathy. Her room faced the cinema used by the SS as a stopover from ghetto to mass shooting site. As she gazed down on the scene, she found no fault with the young policemen, but rather with the Jews themselves. When they threw pots and pans at the pavement, she "wanted to cry out: Do something! That is not enough! Arm yourselves! You are in the majority! A few of you could save yourselves!" She did not, of course, attempt to intervene. Like many of the women Lower researched, she simply willed herself to be a passive bystander.
For other women, proximity to brutality inspired greater participation. Like Petri, a staggering number of women made the personal decision to move from witness to actor, to pick up a gun or ram a Jew with a pram while their "racially pure" baby slept soundly inside. They were "adept at slipping in and out of roles," Lower writes, "from the unbridled revolutionary to the meek, subservient wife." "Desk murderers" were common, the women who "not only typed up liquidation orders but also participated in the ghetto massacres and attended mass shootings."
500,000 women had front-row seats to the Final Solution, where they watched and benefitted from the rapidly declining "racially inferior" masses. And yet their presence, and their atrocities, have been largely ignored for the last 70 years. Twenty years ago, Lower was researching in Zhytomyr, a city in western Ukraine, leafing through the normal stuff of archives, the fading ink and illegible handwriting on tattered paper, some of which had bootprints and charred edges. It was there, among the German records that had been inaccessible under the Iron Curtain, that Lower began to notice an abundance of women's names among the empire-builders. Nurses who experienced a clear perversion of their profession readily justified their transition from savings lives to taking them, explaining that "death by gas doesn't hurt." A former German kindergarten teacher recalled her unease upon entering the eastern occupied zone in 1942. She was unaccustomed to hearing a rapid succession of gunshots, but a nearby Nazi official quelled her fears, assuring her it was "just that a few Jews were being shot."
There is link between the shockingly cavalier testimony given by these women and our collective ignorance of their actions in the Nazi East: genocide is usually considered the business of men, and thus, when it came time to call Nazis to account for their crimes, prosecutors were less interested in these women than in their male colleagues and husbands, people of position and ascertainable power. German defense lawyers convinced courts that women lacked the authority to enact atrocities. Despite the international community's acute taste for war crime trials, only the rare, flagrantly sadistic woman, like Ilse Koch, the "Bitch of Buchenwald," captured public attention. In the throes of denazification, courts simply concluded that women were not a threat to postwar German society. That meant a woman like Johanna Altvater, who took particular pleasure in luring Jewish children to their deaths with the promise of candy, could be deemed "usefully employed." That was written on her file after a man testified that he had witnessed her, during the liquidation of a ghetto, beat his toddler's head into a wall. Altvater was one of the rare women who were actually tried, and despite copious amounts of eyewitnesses, she was acquitted — twice.
Jewish survivors have consistently described German women in the Nazi East as violent tormenters, not innocent bystanders. Recounting horrific acts, however, proved far easier than naming the perpetrators. Often their names were never known by their victims, while others married after the war and changed their surnames. As for the women themselves, these witnesses, pillagers, tormenters, and murderesses kept quiet for reasons other than accountability; they had good memories of Germany's seemingly limitless future, and their ambitious roles within it.
Hitler's Furies is an unsettling but significant contribution to our understanding of how nationalism, and specifically conceptions of loyalty, are normalized, reinforced, and regulated. By asking important questions about the pervasive culpability of Nazi women, Lower has highlighted a historical blind spot. And yet, the lens through which this book will no doubt be understood, that of "women's history," is a problematic one, as it suggests that the actions of half of the population exist in a separate sphere. Mass murder cannot occur without the broad participation of society. None of these women had to stand by as witnesses, serve as accomplices, or take the lives of others, but the vast majority of them did just that.
The presence of 500,000 women in the Nazi East is integral to our understanding of World War II, Nazism, and the Holocaust. Indeed, it is a crowded field, but one in which fundamental questions are still unanswered, and perhaps need to be asked in different ways. By conducting a decades long, exhaustive research project, Lower holds these women accountable, which is more than the international justice system was able to do. What actually happened to these women, after they fled the encroaching Red Army and returned their old lives? As Lower concludes on the final page of Hitler's Furies, "They got away with murder."

Hyundai Grand i10 NIOS Spied At A Dealer Parking Lot Ahead Of Its Launch
August 17, 2019 | Videh Vora
Added in: Hyundai
Ahead of its launch in the Indian market, a few days from now, Hyundai dealers seem to be stocking up on the brand new Grand i10 NIOS. Aiming to begin deliveries right away, a YouTube video showcases one such model in what appears to be a dealer parking lot, surrounded by a number of other Hyundai vehicles. This video showcases the car, in the flesh from angles never seen before, do have a look at this video uploaded by Tanmay Gupta.
The rear side of the car showcases a chrome strip which is present on the edge of the tailgate. The electric release for the tailgate can also be seen on this very edge. The rear number plate is located at the lower end of the bumper. The NIOS badge is placed below the rear Hyundai logo, just like what we have seen in the Hyundai Venue. A shark fin antenna is fitted on the roof, set towards the rear. The alloys measure 14-inches in diameter and come wrapped in MRF tyres. A floating roof design can be seen in the C-Pillar of the car, with a G-10 badge embossed in the plastic.
One can also have a look at the chrome door handles on the car, which would be offered with the top-end trim levels of the car. The video also gives us a glimpse of the interior of this upcoming hatchback. One can notice the dual-tone colour scheme, with some dimples, carved out on the passenger side, adding a premium touch to the car. The infotainment screen looks rather large and this particular model has the 5-speed manual transmission and automatic climate control. The design of the interior door handles is also changed. Moving further ahead, we can not see much as the front end of the car is covered. However, from images released by Hyundai earlier, expect a wide cascading grille and projector headlamps to be hidden behind these covers.

Hyundai will be carrying forward the same petrol and diesel engines as the current generation Grand i10. The 1.2-litre, 4-cylinder petrol motor is good for 83 PS of peak power and 114 Nm of peak torque. The oil-burner, on the other hand, will deliver 75 PS and 190 Nm. Both these models will be married to a 5-speed gearbox as standard, but an optional AMT would be made available with both the petrol and diesel motors. Reports also suggest that this new generation model will feature BS-VI compliant motors. Stay tuned for more news on this Korean hatchback.

SDCC 2019: First Teaser For The Untitled Rick Grimes 'Walking Dead' Movie
By The Movie God | @ | Friday, July 19th, 2019 at 7:35 pm
The Walking Dead is heading to the big screen, and the first teaser for the currently untitled feature film has been released online after being shown at San Diego Comic-Con 2019.
You can check out the teaser video below if interested. Fair warning: a spoiler for those who don't follow The Walking Dead closely will be discussed, so only proceed if you're caught up or don't care.
OK, so it's not the biggest spoiler in the world because it was all over the news and nearly impossible to avoid seeing, but it was announced last May that Andrew Lincoln, who played Rick Grimes on AMC's The Walking Dead series from season one, episode one into season nine, which ended earlier this year.
A few months after that news, it was revealed that Lincoln would be playing Rick Grimes once again in a trio of feature films sometime in the future.
This is a teaser for the first of those movies. And it is very much a teaser, unfortunately, not a teaser trailer. It's only a few seconds long and shows almost nothing. But it's something.
No release window for the untitled Rick Grimes Walking Dead movie has been announced yet, but when it does arrive you'll be able to see it on the big screen.

Well we made it out here to Kilada, Peloponnese, in Greece c/o Europcar/Easyjet/Pops Cars, in good order on 5 April and arrived at the Basimakopouloi shipyard after about 12 hours travelling.
We found basic digs in Kilada village at 35 Euros/night but it was not very salubrious, smelt heavily of cigarettes and Maggie didn't sleep well - after three nights we cut our losses and retired to the boat in her cradle.
ALKIRA was launched on schedule on 12 April and all went well on that front. We stayed that night secured to the boatyard quay before moving out to anchor to rig the sails and then make our way 17nm across the bay to Astros, for water. We are still in Astros, recovering (cleaning) from the winter lay-up and recommissioning ALKIRA.
ALKIRA being lifted from her resting place ready for launching.
The facilituies here are by far the best we have found in Greece. We can recommend the yard to anyone as a winter lay-up venue.
All ready to splash as yard women touch up the bottom of the keel.
On Good Friday there was a procession through the town; starting at the church on the hill at 9pm to the north of the port, zigzagging the steep streets down to the newer part of town, led by a local band with trumpets and drums. Then came the priest and his "congregation" and 6 stout men carrying a candle lit byre, shoulder high, down the steep steps to the waterfront and onward through the town streets before the procession returned eventually to the church at the top of the hill some 2 hours or so later.
The local population turned out en-masse to witness the event, with children holding candles along the route. As the priest passed by, the watching population fell in with the procession, until there was a throng of several hundred following the band. Where they all came from goodness only knows as Astos is a small town. Although a good percentage of those watching had dressed in their finery and/or their Sunday best, the band were not well turned out and their music music was at best interesting, somewhat tuneless and very solemn, but the solitary base drummer beat a good single drum beat all the way! The port was illuminated all around by burning pots of oil set at intervals along the breakwaters. A very petty sight on a pleasant balmy evening.
At midnight on Saturday there were fireworks and the echoes of loud explosions reverberated around the bay beneath the ruins of the venetian fort that dominates the port and the town.
Sunday was like the grave until the evening and then the population suddenly appeared for their evening stroll and coffees/drinks. We enjoyed our Easter chocolate bunnies - thank you Jenny H (you will be pleased to hear they both made it out here and survived until Easter Sunday AND Monday without being nibbled!!
Monday came and,believe it or not, it does rain on bank holidays in parts of the world other than the UK, including here in Greece. At four in the afternoon the skies darkened, there was thunder and lightning and we huddled below decks like Antonio in his cave as the rain came down in torrents!! (an anecdote to be appreciated by the Bevis clan). Brighter skies to the East heralded better things so hopefully this interlude of inclement weather will soon pass.
Monday brought clouds and strong Easterly winds that backed right around as storms spread down from the valleys to the west of us. Nothing on the internet weather map! Thunder but no lightning.
Tuesday morning started fairly benign, but the wind came in at noon blowing hard from the South East for 4-5 hours before dying away. We are safely tucked up against the seawall so are comfortably sheltered from the wind, but revelling in the sunshine from the subsequent clear blue sky. All very confusing really. At around 6pm the wind died away and we ditched our fleeces. What next?
Our re-commissioning is going well, The decks are now clean, lots of deck plugs replaced and sanded, most things are in their rightful place, Solar panels polished, cleaning down below is finished, the 'handbag' generator has been serviced, "Dolly" has been put to good use and the maintenance is progressing nicely…
Men at work.
Looking south along the quay wall. Only one other charter yacht here today.
We have had intermittent electric power and water here on the outer mole to facilitate our labours, although those who supposedly 'manage' the port seem somewhat reluctant to attend to their duties - but then it is a national holiday! When our enthusiasm lags there is a selection of pleasant seaside bars and tavernas lining the inshore side of the port and the foreshore to the South, which haven't seen much of us to date other than for a morning coffee at the weekend.
Friends David and Marilyn are expected on 27April, so we will leave here on Wednesday evening, or perhaps on Thursday morning, to make our way back to Kilada (where the boatyard was) to collect some spare parts, before moving on to Porto Cheli and then Ermioni, where our blissfully unaware 'crew' will join us for our passage to Crete!
We are both fine but a little tired as we've been a lot busier than we expected, (or perhaps we're just feeling our age a little), but have also been suffering from sore throats/summer colds. The evenings and mornings are chilly and it is cool out on the water. It'll warm up soon enough - we hope…
We hear today that there is to be an election in June, so you poor lot in the UK are going to be brainwashed by Brexit and electioneering - what joy, we will miss it all.

PRESCOTT ‹ It's one of the oldest ways of doing business in America, but pawning has endured  and evolved  with the assistance of high-tech practices that few envisioned a generation ago.
Bob and Jennifer Ayers have owned the Pawn Palace, 301 N. Alarcon, for 12 years, and have clearly benefited from the modifications.
The couple got into the pawnshop business upon learning its ins and outs from a friend in Phoenix.
Bob, a former highway patrolman, specializes in firearms, while Jennifer has her niche with jewelry.
When a customer walks into the Ayers' store and offers an item as collateral for a quick, same-day loan, Jennifer or Bob will peruse eBay or Orion's Blue Book guide to decide what price to offer the customer.
They also utilize a computer to prevent a customer who attempts to sell or pawn stolen goods.
that into my computer," Jennifer said. "Then (a business transaction form) comes up and we print it, and there's three copies  the customer gets a copy, we keep a copy and the (Prescott) police department gets a copy."
Prescott police keeps its copy of every one of the city's pawnshop transactions as part of a nationwide database to ensure that customers who want to sell or pawn are not thieves.
"We started our business with this system," said Jennifer Ayers. "Because of that, we get very little stolen property."
Bob and Jennifer Ayers buy a lot more items than they can sell, so the couple wholesales much of the merchandise it has. The shop keeps a separate computer at one of its sale counters where an employee puts many of the store's items up for sale on eBay.
an interest. They do the inventory and sales for Tibbetts in exchange for a cut of the profits.
Like the Ayers, Tibbetts keeps a watchful eye on security, but he oftentimes knows the customers with whom he deals.
that come in looking for a bargain," Tibbetts said.
Tibbetts' business focuses more on the pawn, or making quick loans to customers, rather than the retail sales that larger shops tend to revolve around. Typically, a customer will bring Tibbetts his or her collateral, whether it's a piece of jewelry or a gun, and he loans the person money against it.
Both Yavapai Pawn and Pawn Palace offer 90-day secured loans, and within that three-month period the customer can return to pick up the item or make arrangements to extend the loan's term. When the term ends, the shop can sell the collateral and the customer has no obligation to the store.
"If they pawn it, it's because they want to keep it," Jennifer Ayers said. "Most of the time the items that you see here people just say, 'I've got something newer, bigger, better,' or 'I never use this item anymore, and I want to sell it.' And so they'll sell it to us outright."
Tibbetts, 43, said many customers simply do not want to go to the bank and ask for a loan or take out a cash advance on a credit card. Whether it's a young, struggling family, a wealthy business owner, or a contractor, the demographic of the pawnshop customer varies.
"At one time or another, everybody needs a little extra money," said Tibbetts, who's also owned his shop for the past 12 years. "This is a quick, easy way to get cash. A person's credit rating makes no difference. They just need collateral to borrow against."
Through the decades, pawnshops have, perhaps unfairly, gained a reputation for seedy business practices. Today, however, pawnshop owners work closely with law enforcement officials to weed out criminal activity.
"Once a person comes in and familiarizes themselves with a pawnshop and how it works, I think their perception changes and they seem to like it," Tibbetts said. "There's a misconception among a lot of people that think it's an outlet for stolen goods or something. That's the furthest from the truth."

The Volvo oil trap is often overlooked and most people have never heard of it, but if it's not replaced every 100,000 miles it can wreak havoc on your checkbook.
You may be asking yourself what is an oil trap? Where is it located? Why do i need to replace it?
What is it? Those of us over a certain age remember older cars having a PCV valve (Positive Crankcase Ventilation). The Volvo oil trap accomplishes the same thing as a PCV valve which is allow the engine to breath. You may not know this but the combustion engine needs air coming in and therefore air going out. When the air cannot escape it builds up pressure in the engine and (pay attention this is where it can cost you a lot of money) it seeks other places to release air which means losing air and oil via the exhaust pipe which is not a good thing or it will find the weakest and often the hardest to get to oil seal and cause a leak. Leaking oil seals, especially the ones in very hard to get to places such as the rear main seal which requires you pull the transmission lose from the engine can cost you thousands of dollars in repairs.
Oil leaks which can be seen below the engine or on top of the valve cover is common too. Look at the oil fill cap on top of the engine and look for oil residue. Also look at your engine oil dipstick for leaks.
Engine Oil dipstick pops out of the pipe and keeps doing it every time you run the engine. This is a very common sign as the air pushes up the oil dipstick which is held in place by two o-rings. If the engine builds up enough internal pressure it will push up the oil dipstick to release air.
Bad gas mileage. All of this air building up in the engine fights against the normal operation of the crankshaft rotating, pistons pumping up and valves opening which can seriously cost you a lot of money at the gas pump.
Engine idles rough and runs bad. Unfortunately by the time you reach this stage the oil trap issues have probably cause severe damage to internal engine parts and oil seals. I'm not saying it can't be improved by changing the oil trap, flushing the oil system and adding fully synthetic oil but trust me miles have been taken off your engines life.
Where is it located? This is fairly easy to explain because on just about every Volvo model the oil trap is located to the side of the engine block underneath the intake manifold. A few exceptions are when the oil trap is actually built into the oil filter box on Volvo C30, C70 2006-Up, S40 2004.5-Up and V50 models.
Your probably want to know how to replace it and what parts are required? In varies slightly but most often you need an oil trap, intake gasket, oil trap to valve cover hose, oil trap to block seal and any hose that upon inspection looks cracked, brittle or has holes already caused by hot burning oil and air trying to escape. In most cases you will need to remove the intake manifold just to reach the oil trap and then the actual removal of the oil trap and parts are very easy and using only require a ratchet and socket to remove the 4-5 screws and a screwdriver for the hose clamps.
Why do I need to replace it every 100K? Not only does Volvo recommend you replace it every 100,000 miles but that is often when we see customers calling us asking for help and describing the syptoms I outlined above. This is one part you do not fudge and push it off for another 5-10K miles or you may live to regret it. OK the reason why it has to be replaced is because oil and oil residue (gunk is the official term) starts to build up in the oil trap and eventually in the oil trap hoses and creates a blockage which stops up the engine so it cannot breath. In the old, old days engines had a breather cap located on the valve cover and the air/oil mixture just came out the cap and you would wipe up the oil residue off your valve cover. The PCV system came out in the 60's which allowed the engine to exhale via a large vacuum hose and the PCV valve would open at the right time and let the air go back into the engine sort of recycling the air yet allowing the engine to breath. For the sake of the global environment Volvo created a better system that would collect all gunk into a box, preventing it from escaping into the atmosphere and you simply change the box out just like other filters during scheduled maintenance. The problem is (as I see it) consumers are not as informed about this as there are about oil and air filters and therefor costly repairs that could have been avoided catch them by surprise.


Resolving a disputed Congressional election in Florida is key to setting the stage for a fair nationwide election in 2008.
Election protection activists are already busy promoting legislative fixes designed to assure that all eligible Americans can vote and get those votes counted in 2008. It's vital work. But if we are serious about addressing what's wrong with our electoral system, we must look backward as well–to what happened in Florida's 13th Congressional District last year.
That contest was "decided" for Republican Vern Buchanan over Democrat Christine Jennings following a recount that put Buchanan up by 369 votes. What the recount did not resolve, however, were questions raised by apparent voting machine malfunctions in Sarasota County, a base of strength for Jennings. Machines manufactured by Election Systems & Software Inc. (ES&S) recorded 18,000 "undervotes"–ballots with votes cast for other positions but not for the House seat–in precincts that tended to favor Jennings.
Local election officials, along with ES&S representatives, defended the machines and Buchanan's slim majority through a flawed recount process that cleared the way for the Republican to be seated in January. Two months later, however, it was revealed that Sarasota officials had been informed by ES&S months before the election of serious concerns regarding the response time of the voting machines. Amazingly, those officials decided in secret not to make the recommended repairs or to train poll workers and voters to deal with confusion caused by the machines.
Committee chair Juanita Millender-McDonald, a California Democrat, immediately created a task force to review what went wrong in Florida and how the House should respond. Under the Constitution the House and Senate are responsible for determining whether members have been legitimately elected. It is within the power of the House to declare the seat vacant and force a new vote in the 13th District–a move for which there are precedents, including a 1975 statewide revote of a New Hampshire Senate contest. That's what Jennings has demanded.
House Republicans, apparently fearful for Buchanan's chances in a fair election, have sought to delay the task force's work. But the Democrats shouldn't be deterred by such tactics or by their own consultants, some of whom quietly suggest that letting Buchanan finish his term would position Jennings to highlight the flawed process and run as a victim in 2008. The principle at stake is too important to allow either party to play politics. If malfunctioning voting machines and irresponsible election officials are allowed to determine who sits in the House, no American will be able to cast a ballot with confidence in 2008.
