The water flowing through the pipes in the home isn't all the same. The harder the water consistency, the more damaging it is to the internal plumbing systems. Pipes can erode and need replacing sooner than they would otherwise when the local water supply is too heavy. Home appliances also suffer when internal piping in the washing machine, dishwasher and other types of units' experience erosion due to the water consistency.
A water softener aims to put an end to this expensive problem by using different types of filtering systems, like one using ion exchange, to remove magnesium, calcium, and iron present in hard water. Scale can build up inside water tanks and cause gradual degradation of the interior of the storage, something that the water softening process also resolves.
The water regeneration process is strictly controlled and monitored with most modern water softener equipment using built-in LED displays. A control valve acts to restrict the flow of water during the treatment process. The regeneration process gets turned on when someone in the home is using a system, like dishwater, washing machine or sink, where water is free flowing. As the needs increase, the regeneration process is repeated more often to ensure sufficient treated water supply of softer water on tap.
A water softener unit typically comes as a single tank fitted with an on-demand digital valve and an LED display for easy review. A threaded adapter commonly used in plumbing is present to help connect the system to the existing pipes system around the home. A separate brine or another filtering tank comes supplied which holds the materials used in the softening process ready for when they are required.
Most water softening systems are designed for home users and support occupants of up to 6 people in a house. The system gets fitted to the main water supply to treat water hardness levels before residents of the home can access the water directly from the source. An efficient softener system manages hardness levels from medium to heavy. Many systems offer 12 gallons per minute (GPM) flow rate which is more than adequate for most homeowners even when several home appliances are running simultaneously, and a shower gets used at the same time.
The digital valves used in many water softener systems are usually tested to function properly for decades and with top brands come with a multi-year (often five year) guarantee. The readouts use modern backlit LED displays for easy reading in any light conditions. Settings are modified using touchpads for the better systems. Power gets delivered through the standard electrical system. However, the better water softener units have an internal energy storage system to prevent a loss of usage during a power cut.
The tanks are also robust and built using durable materials that don't break down. Because of this, many manufacturers offer a decade long warranty on their tanks which is reassuring too.
The brine tank included with many water softeners take up different amounts of space in the home. The larger home systems hold up to 250 pounds of pelleted salt used in the softening process. Most tanks have internal float systems to prevent overfilling and overflow.
The installation of a complete water softening system is something that takes at least a couple of hours to complete if having never fitted one before. The skills necessary are regular plumbing skills, but for anyone unfamiliar with what's involved, they may wish to hire the services of a local plumber to complete the task for them.
The primary water system includes a bypass flow valve with the system to control digitally how much treated water is flowing through. An LED readout and control pad lets the homeowner adjust settings as needed.
A separate tank is where the pelleted salt is stored that helps treat the water as it flows in the system. A 1-inch threaded plumbing yoke is provided to make it easier for a plumber to hook up the water softener apparatus up to the existing water plumbing system.
Each water treatment system can handle a different amount of GPM of water flow. Some models offer 16 GPM; others are only 12 GPM. Homeowners need to decide for themselves how much water they use collectively in their home and to choose a system that is capable of delivering sufficient softened water supply for their needs.
A plumber is a good idea when fitting the water system. It is possible for someone familiar with DIY to try to install the system themselves. However, given the cost of the water softening equipment to purchase, it is probably best to call in a professional for the task to know the fitting has completed correctly.
Due to the way that a water softener system works, a pressure drop of up to 15 PSI is commonly experienced by homeowners. The pressure reduction is not a problem though because home appliances still operate without any difficulty and power shower systems are more than capable of delivering water pressure within their self-contained water flow systems.
Fleck make some of the most advanced water treatment systems with sophisticated digital valves and durability.
Waterboss has high capacity water treatment systems with strong water flow and sediment removal systems built-in.
Watts is a specialist in portable water treatment system suitable for smaller homes, RVs, and other uses.
Iron: The typical water softener is capable of reducing iron in the water supply by up to 10 parts per million.
Well water: Water softener systems are ideal for well water supplies that often have a heavier iron composition than regular piped in water does.
Supplier contact: The supplier will often email the buyer to provide additional encouragement and installation information separate to what is provided by the manufacturer alone. The email contact is particularly useful for DIY installers who aren't planning to use a plumber for the installation task.

The Larger Horror Behind
the Sandy Hook Massacre
by Nancy Spannaus
Dec. 29—You could call it the slaughter of the innocents, 2012. Twenty young children mowed down, eviscerated in a rain of bullets. But this time there was no Herod, no autocratic ruler, to blame for the massacre. No, this time the cause of the horror which has devastated hundreds of lives, and shocked the nation, has to be looked at deep within our culture, indeed, within ourselves.
I'm not talking about the so-called "culture of guns." That is rubbish, especially when peddled by the likes of our Murderer-in-Chief Barack Obama, who already has the blood of hundreds of children on his hands, as a result of his drone-warfare policy. Guns don't kill people; people do. And our people, the American population, has a deep sickness which is reflected in the Dec. 14 mass murder spree carried out by Adam Lanza, one of at least 29 such events in the United States since 1999.
No, we're not going to find any quick-fix here. We have no choice but to confront, and radically reverse, the insane, bestial view of man which has infected us, and threatens the very existence of civilized life on this planet.
That bestiality stems from a shift in philosophy about the value of human life itself, a shift which occurred in the midst of the deep pessimism arising in the wake of the death of President Franklin Roosevelt, and, most emphatically, after the murder of President Kennedy and the coverup of its authorship. This shift, which permeates science, education, culture, and even religion today, promotes the "modern" view that man is simply a more powerful animal, living in a world of limited resources he's threatening to use up, and largely determined by his biological makeup. In such a world, one seeks to "compete" the best one can in one's given environment, attain happiness for the moment in one's local circles, and adapt to those seemingly uncontrollable forces, physical or political, that are dominating the world.
In other words, the guiding philosophy of life has increasingly become that of one of the most candid philosophers of the British Empire, Thomas Hobbes, who said that, in a time when "men live without a common power to keep them all in awe" (i.e., a dictator), "the life of man [is] solitary, poor, nasty, brutish and short."
To change this will take nothing less than a revolutionary shift in the view of man, a renaissance. Such a renaissance begins by facing the larger horror that the Sandy Hook massacre represents.
The Kennedy Turning-Point
Lyndon LaRouche, in his Dec. 21, 2012 webcast, as on several other occasions since the massacre, addressed the broader questions raised by the event. One of those was the increasing failure of U.S. government institutions to provide treatment for those with mental health problems.
"What happened in Connecticut, for example, was a case of insanity," he stressed.
"That's how it happened, and nobody was watching the switch, on a case who was about to freak out, and do something like that which happened. So, the responsibility for this tragedy lies with the institutions of government of the United States, which no longer do anything about mental instability. And you had this young fellow, the so-called perpetrator, who was in a breakdown situation."
Another point LaRouche raised was the cultural shift after the killing of Kennedy:
"But this is only typical of the potential breakout of homicidal insanity in people, since when? Since Kennedy was assassinated. What happened, if you go back about two years after the assassination of Kennedy, is that you will find that the drug and insanity business was launched then. And in '68, you had the march of mass insanity, a real fascism, the worst kind of fascism, you know, of the Hitler variety. And since that time, the rate of insanity has increased."
The source of that fascist ideology, LaRouche emphasized, was the British Empire, the mother of the Green movement which calls for the depopulation of the planet, to "save the planet." It is that Green "zero growth" movement, working through the world's leading financial institutions, governments, and so-called civil society groups, which has massacred aspirations for true scientific and technological progress, especially in the trans-Atlantic region, and thus killed the future for ensuing generations of youth. With that ideology has come the promotion of the rock-drug-sex counterculture, which destroys young minds and renders the current young generation virtually incapable of serious productive work.
You need only look at today's embrace of the campaign driven by drug-financiers to legalize mind-destroying drugs to see confirmation of this trend. Narcotic drugs are mental slavery, destroying thought and soul. Only a culture that has lost its soul would seek to legitimize them.
Should anyone wonder at the increasing rates of murder-suicide, within a generation that has no future? Should it be surprising that young people raised in a society that teaches that every person is a drain on society's resources, not a mind with the capability of contributing to the future, turn toward obsessions with death, murder, and suicide?
Increasing Insanity
It's not only LaRouche and his movement who see an increasing incidence of insanity in the population of the United States. A number of recent studies, under the auspices of U.S. government agencies, have turned up new alarming figures about the current and potential incidence of psychosis in U.S. society. The actual picture is even more alarming than these studies say, since the definition of what constitutes mental illness has, over recent decades, been altered, so as to consider "normal," behavior that would have been rightly classified as aberrant or insane only a few decades ago.
The CDC Adult Mental Illness Surveillance Report (September 2011) indicated that 50% of U.S. adults will develop at least one serious, diagnosable mental illness during their lifetime, and that that incidence was increasing at an alarming rate.
Apparently, it was the CDC Surveillance Report that prompted a multi-site longitudinal study of mental illness in North America, on which EIR was briefed by a Washington, D.C. source. The study was done with funding from the Departments of Homeland Security and of the Army and was conducted at eight study sites: Emory University; Harvard Medical School; University of California, Los Angeles; University of California, San Diego; University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill; University of Toronto; Yale University; and Zucker Hillside Hospital (part of North Shore-Long Island Jewish Health System).
The objective of this study, according to this source (EIR has not seen the study), was to achieve early detection of individuals who will develop schizophrenia or other psychotic disorders, with the idea that they could isolate mechanisms underlying the onset of psychosis, and test various preventive intervention modalities. Apparently, current prediction approaches have very low levels of accuracy. The aim of the study was to determine the risk of conversion to full-blown psychosis in a general population, given certain stress factors, and to develop a set of algorithms that would maximize predictability.
The results were shocking. They indicated that 55% of the adult population presents with pre-psychotic symptoms. That number rose to about 64% among adult males between the ages of 21 to 30. Interestingly, that same slice of the population has the lowest access to health care. The numbers are higher than those indicated in the CDC Surveillance Reports and, additionally, were showing an increase of approximately 22% each year.
Within the group of those presenting with pre-psychotic symptoms, the risk of conversion to psychosis was 35% with the presence of normal stress factors. The transition to full psychosis decelerated over 2.5 years when follow-up treatment was introduced. However, the rate of conversion jumped dramatically to 68% to 80% when 2 or 3 additional features were introduced. Among the additional features, those that showed the highest rate of conversion to full-blown psychosis were: a genetic risk for schizophrenia with recent deterioration in functioning; higher levels of unusual thought content; higher levels of suspicion/paranoia; greater social impairment; and a history of substance abuse.
Not noted was the potential for dramatically escalated stress for the society as a whole, such as economic breakdown, devastating natural disaster, or war.
Mental-health Care?
Not surprisingly, EIR's source argued, on the basis of the studies he had seen, that the horrific mass shootings recently in the U.S. have everything to do with the lack of any adequate mechanism for the treatment of mental illness. He pointed out that in Israel, a much higher percentage of the population owns firearms, but that this type of occurrence was almost unheard of. He said it has been firmly established that the reason why it doesn't, is the extensive, nationalized health-care system. He said the pattern holds true in other advanced-sector countries where gun ownership is prevalent, but where health care is readily available.
It is indisputable that provisions for mental-health treatment in the United States are abysmal, and getting worse by the year, as the British-fascist philosophy of "cost-accounting" applied to health care gets more and more institutionalized. Remember, Hitler's first moves toward euthanasia famously argued that it was a waste of money to treat the mentally ill, when so-called healthy Aryans needed the money themselves.
The pattern of reducing treatment for the mentally ill and those otherwise handicapped—a cause President Franklin D. Roosevelt had particularly championed—is a long-standing one, beginning in the 1960s, when the zero-growth ideology was beginning to get a vise-grip on the United States. The first moves, as in the case of the drive toward euthanasia per se, were disguised as "in the patient's interest": Specifically, exposés of terrible treatment in state mental hospitals led to the campaign to "de-institutionalize" the mentally ill, and put them in "more humane" community-based institutions. Large state-run psychiatric hospitals began to be shut down, and patients sent back to their families, or to so-called community homes, if these existed.
But as could have been predicted, with money in short supply, competent facilities for mental-health care, especially long-term care, did not exist. Instead, patients were left to fend for themselves, perhaps aided by medication (if they could afford it). More and more of the sickest patients began turning up in jails and homeless shelters because they had no other place to go.
With each new ratchet down of the economic-financial crisis, the situation got worse. According to the National Alliance on Mental Illness, since the "recession" began in 2007, states have made major cuts in their mental-health budgets, with the largest being to long-term care facilities.
On Obama's Watch
During the first three years of Obama's Presidency, from 2009 to 2012, states cut at least $4.35 billion in public mental-health spending, according to the National Association of State Mental Health Program Directors; the association calls this the largest reduction in funding since the "de-institutionalization" drive of the 1960s and '70s.
Since 2009 alone, 3,222 psychiatric hospital beds became unavailable to patients, and another 1,249 may disappear soon because of proposed closures, according to the Association. "That's about 10 percent of all state psychiatric hospital beds gone in about three years," said Dr. Robert Glover, the association's executive director, who has worked in mental health for almost five decades.
"This is the worst, in my mind, significant budget cut in public mental health in decades, and it is beginning to show in very big ways," said Dr. Glover, in interviews this month with ABC and the Huffington Post. "We have a 10 percent budget cut in real dollars [this year], and when you have that occur [alongside] increased demand on an overburdened system already, I can't tell you that people aren't being injured or hurt."
On top of all this, Obama's proposed FY2013 budget cuts $142 million from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), bringing it down to $3.4 billion. Another $54 million could be eliminated through "non-program-related activity." Mental Health Block Grants remained the same as FY2012. Suicide-prevention programs are reduced by $10 million, to $48 million.
Obama's proposed budget was, of course, never passed, the excuse being the "fiscal cliff" charade. And as part of this, Obama and House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) have discussed long-term cuts to Medicaid, which underwrites services for more than 60% of people in the public mental-health system. Mental-health advocates say the result could be disastrous. "We already know that people who need help aren't getting it," Sarah Steverman, Director of State Policy for Mental Health America, told MSNBC.
"As there's a decrease in coverage or a decrease in providers, the longer people have to wait for appointments, the less likely they are to go. And then they're less likely to get the help that they need. It's always been a problem, and I think we'll see an even bigger problem if we do have cuts to Medicaid."
About 33% of all newly insured people under the Affordable Care Act's Medicaid expansion have behavioral health conditions, said Joel E. Miller of the National Association of State Mental Health Program Directors, in a July 15, 2012 presentation. He added that about one-half of that group could have serious mental illnesses.
And if budget sequestration takes place, there will be an 8% cut to resources that the mentally ill depend on, including special education, supportive housing grants, and mental-health research, according to the National Alliance on Mental Illness.
As one example, by no means the worst: California cut 21%, or $768 million, from its mental-health services programs during the previous three fiscal years, according to a November 2011 report from the National Alliance. This is only the seventh-highest among all states. Almost 2 million adults in California—about 8% of the adult population—"need mental health treatment, and 1 in 12 Californians reported symptoms consistent with serious psychological distress and experienced difficulty functioning at home or at work," according to a study released last month by the UCLA Center for Health Policy Research.
The Popular Culture of Violence
Any consideration of this mass-murder horror would be incomplete without discussing, at least briefly, the spread of violent video games into the youth culture. Adam Lanza was reportedly heavily involved in some of these games. Other prominent cases of youth killers over the past decade or more, directly testify to the role of point-and-shoot video games in training "stone-cold killers" among the youth of the United States and other countries.
Back in the early 2000s, the LaRouche movement launched a campaign to ban these games, pointing to their role in such crimes as the killing of African immigrant Amadou Diallo in New York (1999), and school children in such cases as the Jonesboro, Ark. massacre (1998). The Jonesboro case was the specific goad for Lt. Col. David Grossman (ret.), now a renowned expert in the field of what he calls "killology," to begin his crusade against violent video games. These are "mass-murder simulators," Grossman said in an interview with EIR, May 24, 2002, they are training a whole generation of youth to kill without question. And as for the connection between the proliferation of these games and the gigantic leaps in violent crime over the last decades (six or sevenfold per-capita increase since 1957), this was documented as early as 1972, by no less an authority than the U.S. Surgeon General.
Also in the early 2000s, Lyndon and Helga LaRouche launched the Commission on the New Violence, in an attempt to get public action against violent video games.
Unlike other activists against violence, however, the LaRouche movement has championed the positive shifts in economic and cultural policy, which are the indispensable pathways to bringing the younger generation out of the current course toward death and destruction. It will take a generation, at the least, to rescue the current youth of the United States, LaRouche has stressed, and many will remain damaged for life. Classical culture, major projects to upgrade the physical-economic platform of man's existence, reviving the space program—all are essential to reversing the culture of death which we see everywhere, from our wars, to our video screens.
Let the horror of Sandy Hook Elementary School be a spur to making such a New Renaissance a reality. Without our national leadership taking immediate action, it will inevitably get much, much worse.

While there are numerous repairs and enhancements business proprietors might make themselves, a few tasks want more experience when compared with average DIY repairman has. An approved professional should always handle repairs affecting the structural integrity from the building. Some companies don't pay much concentrate on their roofing system, difficulties with its waterproofing or structural damage can lead to massive headaches lower the road. Right here are a handful of reasons companies shouldn't tackle commercial roof repair repairs on their own.
Before any repairs or maintenance, it's important to do a full inspection. For the unskilled eye, a roof covering covering may appear to stay in very good condition, even though you will discover underlying problems that threaten the structure itself. An experienced professional can identify these complaints through the inspection making the right repairs.
Whether making repairs one-story building or possibly a sizable multi-story complex, more often than not there's some risk of falling. Unskilled crews and DIYers will be the most at risk of falling accidents. Several pros gets the necessary safety equipment to avoid severe injuries, for instance safety harnesses that adhere to anchors.
DIYers often times have to invest hrs searching the net, watching tutorial videos, and browsing forums to learn to fix a particular problem. Experienced crews might make repairs and enhancements quickly. Business proprietors will then properly devote time for you to running their business, getting belief within the crew to deal with commercial roof repair repairs.
Companies have adequate expenses to cover without getting to bother with acquiring the right materials and tools to correct a leak or repair missing flashing. Professionals have formerly made a good investment in a practical system to complete the job and could frequently secure materials cheaper from reliable distributors since they order together with your frequency. While dealing with repair in-house may seem as being a money-saving tactic, it costs the organization more in materials and time when compared with project will probably be worth.
When a business owner tries to repair their roof on their own, there is a strong possibility that they may make a few mistakes. Commercial roof repair repairs require experience and workout to accomplish correctly, plus a licensed team will repair correctly the first time. Each time a handyman repairs the problem, the probability is it won't be fixed completely and underlying issues that brought to the point could still ruin the dwelling. Most likely, the organization owner will have to obtain an expert to correct the mistakes, growing both the all inclusive costs and just how lengthy the repairs take.

Lotus Elise S Cup 2015-2016 review
The Lotus Elise S Cup is the latest incarnation of a car whose concept turns 20 this year. There is a generation of car enthusiasts (and buyers) who have only known life with a Lotus Elise in it.
Perhaps you're one of them. If so, there was a time when a lightweight car with an extruded and bonded aluminium chassis clothed with a composite skin was not on the shortlist of every sports car buyer. And there was a time when Lotus didn't need to keep refreshing the range, as with this car, to keep piquing your interest.
The Lotus Elise S Cup is a road-going version of a race car. You've probably heard that before, but this time its true.
This variant sounds like a good one. It's the Elise S Cup, which is a road-going version of a race car. You've probably heard that before, but this time it's true.
There's a racing car called the Elise Cup R, which is a 217bhp, lightly supercharged Elise variant, and it competes in various Lotus and amateur GT series around the world.
Well, this is such a car, without air-con and comfort pack and so on but with some of the elements that would have prevented it from being road registered put back in. It has airbags, for example. The FIA roll cage and seats have been replaced, too.
Sounds an odd mix, but go with it. The suspension is the same as the race car (firmer than standard Elise, with an adjustable front anti-roll bar), the aero pack is the same as the race car, and the additional wiring loom, for the ignition cut-out and plumbed-in fire system, remains in place.
And that's important, because while it means your Elise S Cup is fully type approved and receives its number plates as usual, at £43,500, everything that made it a racing car in the first instance can be put back in as an option, making it eligible to race while retaining its newfound road-legal status.
So you can win on Sunday and commute on Monday. It is a racing car for the road in the genuine meaning of the phrase.
It's quick, too. It isn't obviously supercharged; there's just ample poke at all revs, up to the 7000rpm redline, although there's no great need to take it there at road speeds, where the mid-range is plenty.
On a circuit, things are a little different, and you'll find yourself nudging the limiter often, such is the ease with which the engine spins. The gearshift remains good but not great, while there are noticeable, but superbly controlled, body movements under braking and cornering.
These, though, only serve to better telegraph the impending approach of the car's limits, at which point, on a steady throttle, it'll push into understeer slightly.
If you're on the power, or you've turned in while trailing the brakes to settle the nose, the Elise becomes neutral or will oversteer with a breathtaking level of controllability for a short, mid-engined, lightweight sports car. Its handling remains an unbridled joy.
There are many ways to buy a manufacturer-built racing car these days, but few are as usable as the Lotus Elise S Cup. Few are so much fun. And few are such good value.
That all serves to make it a winner all week long, regardless of whether you can make it one on a weekend afternoon.

Вълчо Динев Желев е български морски офицер, контраадмирал.

Биография
Роден е на 23 февруари 1926 г. в с. Железник, Карнобатско, в семейството на Диньо Желев Тодоров и Слава Георгиева Тодорова. До четвърто отделение (начално образование) учи в родното си село, първи и втори прогимназиален клас – в съседното село Крумово градище, а третия прогимназиален клас продължава в съседното село Деветак, което има пълна прогимназия. След завършването на прогимназията през 1940 г., като добър ученик родителите му го изпращат да продължи образованието си в Карнобатската гимназия, която завършва през 1945 г.

Сключва граждански брак с Янка Тонева Желева на 27 октомври 1949 година. Родена е в с. Козаре, Карнобатско на 3 юни 1927 г. Завършила е Учителския институт в Бургас. Работила е като учителка, домакин в завод "Геоги Димитров" – Бургас и в Метеорологическата служба на Военноморския флот, Варна.

Редовната си военна служба Вълчо Динев Желев отбива през 1946 – 1947 г. в редиците на 12-и мотострелкови полк в гр. Елхово. Първите години от службата му като офицер във Военноморския флот (ВМФ) са 1948 – 1954 г., като заместник-командващ по политическата част на подразделение. През 1952 г. завършва шестмесечен морски курс в Народното военноморско училище "Н. Й. Вапцаров", Варна. На 15 септември 1954 г. започва следването си в Общовойскова военна академия "Г. С. Раковски", София (1954 – 1957), успява да издейства изучаване на повече морска тактика за военноморските офицери и е награден със златен медал. Така свързва живота си с армията, но като изявен пацифист работи за мир и благоденствие в България и света. През времето изминава пътя до контраадмирал, член на Военния съвет на НРБ и началник на Политотдела на Военноморския флот.

В. Желев завършва едногодишен академичен строеви курс (1970) в Ленинград. За пръв път политически офицер от флота е изпратен на такъв отговорен курс за висши строеви командири. Академичният курс в Ленинград е венец на неговата морска подготовка.

През есента на 1972 г. се завръща във Варна като заместник-началник на Политотдела на ВМФ. След 3 години става началник на Политотдела, което е най-висшата партийно-политическа длъжност във военноморските сили на НРБ. За пръв път морски политически офицер заема тази длъжност (дотогава на тази длъжност се назначават офицери от СССР). След още 3 години (1978) получава званието контраадмирал и по такъв начин извървява дългия път от войник до генерал.

Длъжността началник на политическия отдел на флота изпълнява в продължение на 13 години. От него в най-голяма степен зависи ефективността на работата на политотдела, а оттук и състоянието на цялата работа във флота. Тя е обширна и разнообразна – от дипломатически посещения на високо ниво, поддържане на боеспособността, чрез международни учения и подновяване на военната техника, до контрол на културно-масовата работа с личния състав и художествената самодейност в поделенията, организиране на спортни състезания и осигуряване на матроския състав с вестници и списания. По онова време В. Желев описва в пътеписи някои от посещенията си в Камбоджа, Лаос, Виетнам и Куба.

Непосредствено отговаря и за дейността на Военния съвет на ВМФ, в който влизат, освен командващия на флота, и неговите заместници и първите секретари на окръжните комитети на БКП в Варна и Бургас. Във Военния съвет се обсъждат и вземат решения по най-кардиналните въпроси на флота. През 1982 г. взема участие в подготовката и осъществяването на най-мащабното оперативно-стратегическо учение на Варшавския пакт "Щит – 82". Кулминацията на учението е на територията на Източна България под командването на съветския маршал Виктор Куликов (главнокомандващ Обединените въоръжени сили на ОВД) и армейски генерал Добри Джуров (министър на народната отбрана).

Отделя внимание на изучаването и популяризирането на военноморската история на страната чрез развитие на музейното дело във Варна. Делегат е на конгреси на БКП.

В. Желев е награден с много военни и дипломатически отличия в България, СССР, ГДР, Полша, Виетнам, Куба и др. Носител е на орден "Народна република България", първа и втора степен. Съавтор е на "История на българския военноморски флот", Военно издателство, 1989 г., колективен труд на адмиралите Добрев, Ив., Янакиев, В. и Желев, В.

Приключва земния си път във Варна на 14 ноември 2010 г.

Here's Why Novartis' Japanese Unit Was Raided
Last month, the Japanese Health Ministry filed a complaint against Switzerland-based drugmaker Novartis AG's (NYSE:NVS) Japan unit after the company used allegedly false data to advertise for its best-selling blood pressure drug, Diovan, theWall Street Journal reports.
Reuters reports that prosecutors in Tokyo broke into the company's offices in Japan on Wednesday as part of a criminal investigation of the company following charges that the drugmaker violated the law by releasing misleading advertisements.
The advertisements in question cited research which the Japanese Health Ministry says were manipulated to support the company's claims regarding Diovan's benefits; the studies were originally conducted by researchers at Japanese universities and were later found to have been falsified, possibly by a Novartis employee who participated in all of the studies without ever acknowledging his affiliation with company.
A spokesperson for Novartis' Japanese unit declined to comment, although Novartis has said in a statement that it will "cooperate fully with the prosecutors' investigation," according to Reuters.

Moore General Hospital
by Ann S. Wright, 2006
Moore General Hospital, located between Swannanoa and Black Mountain on U.S. 70, was built as a general army hospital for the treatment of sick and wounded soldiers during World War II. Named for Samuel Preston Moore, a native of Charleston, S.C., and surgeon general of the Confederacy, the hospital complex was designed to include numerous buildings, 1,520 beds, and a full-time staff of 1,500 people. Government engineers envisioned it as the "Walter Reed of the South." Supervised by a private firm from Asheville, construction of the hospital began in May 1942, and the first patients began arriving the following November. Col. Frank W. Wilson was the hospital's first commanding officer. In addition to the buildings for patients and staff, the site also included 36 structures to house men in training for service with the medical corps; the first training unit assigned there was the 28th General Hospital.
A rehabilitation center, which officially opened in June 1944, was added when the hospital took over the new Sand Hill High School building in West Asheville. In September 1944 the facility expanded to include a Tropical Disease Center capable of treating an additional 1,400 patients. In May 1945 German prisoners of war were brought in to provide maintenance and other labor services; they were housed in a separate camp on the north section of the hospital grounds.
In September 1946 the U.S. War Department declared Moore General Hospital a surplus facility, and it was taken over by the Veterans Administration. For several years it was known as the Swannanoa Rehabilitation Center, an annex of the Oteen Veterans Hospital, and served as a tuberculosis rehabilitation center. In 1960 the Veterans Administration consolidated its operation at a central location in Oteen, and the Moore General Hospital property was deeded to the state of North Carolina for use as a juvenile evaluation center.

PM apologises for child migrants
Chuld migrants were packed off to Australia between 1920 and 1967 and were frequently abused
Wednesday, 24 February 2010 5:10 PM
By politics.co.uk staff
The prime minister apologised to the British children forcibly sent to Commonwealth countries for a life of abuse and unpaid labour this afternoon.
Originally announced in November, after his Australian counterpart Kevin Rudd said sorry for the events of the period, Gordon Brown had been working on the final wording of the apology with charities representing former child migrants and their families.
"Mr Speaker, to all those former child migrants and their families; to those here with us today and those across the world - to each and every one - I say today we are truly sorry," Mr Brown told the Commons.
LITRG urges parents to understand their childcare support choices this summer
DfE gives green light to open six new faith schools in 'missed opportunity' to back inclusive education, says Humanists UK
"They were let down.
"We are sorry they were allowed to be sent away when at their most vulnerable. We are sorry that instead of caring for them, this country turned its back. We are sorry that the voices of these children were not always heard,
their cries for help not always heeded. And we are sorry that it has taken so long for this important day to come
and for the full and unconditional apology that is justly deserved."
Mr Brown is understood to have been personally moved by the story of the migrants, at least 150,000 of which were taken to predominantly Australia and Canada between 1920 and 1967.
No British prime minister has ever apologised for the events, despite persistent calls from victims' groups.
Around 60 survivors will come to London today to listen to the statement in person.
The practise of taking the children, aged between three and 14, was prompted largely by a desire to introduce white, hopefully British, stock, to the territories of the British empire.
Most came from care homes, but all were from deprived backgrounds. They were promised a better life in the Commonwealth but usually met a fate of unpaid labour and, frequently, abuse.
Last November Mr Brown's Australian counterpart, Kevin Rudd, made a wider apology to the 500,000 children, mostly from overseas, who were held in institutions between 1930 and 1970.
"We are sorry," he said.
"Sorry that as children you were taken from your families and placed in institutions where so often you were abused.
"Sorry for the physical suffering, the emotional starvation and the cold absence of love, of tenderness, of care. Sorry for the tragedy, the absolute tragedy, of childhoods lost."
The comments highlighted a distinct ethical agenda to Mr Rudd's administration. He had already apologised to the 'stolen generation' of aboriginal children taken from their parents.

If that name sounds familiar, he was recently in the critically acclaimed movie Sorry to Brother and got his big break in Donald glover's hit show Atlanta! While the movie does not count the story straight from the original, it is going to feel like a sequel, but at the same time a minny reboot! What are your thoughts? Excited? The movie drops June 12th,2020! For all things geek, you are in the right place! Stay motivated!


As well as using clocks, tins, buttons and other found objects I also use matchboxes in my pieces. Very often the original printed image on the matchbox will inform what I place within the box where the matches used to be. Usually the addition by me will alter or interact with the original image.
The piece grew from my response to a matchbox I picked up at an antiques/flea market. Somehow the image of Captain Webb – the first recorded person to swim the English Channel without artificial aids – has melded with the story of Nerval, the French poet, walking 'Thibault' his pet lobster in the jardins of the Palais-Royal.
The lobster is made using tiny pieces of painted and cut out paper that I have layered up and stuck inside the matchbox. I use various paints and inks in my work but in this case I used acrylic paint and an acid free cartridge paper with an archival PVA to stick the little pieces together. As in many of my pieces, the frame is a deep box frame that I stained up myself.

The Food Connection
Dawn.comPublished August 5, 2011
"There are so many people working so hard here in the restaurant business, but there's no one to give them credit," says Sikandar, the CEO of FCP. His vision is to build a platform where local restaurants can get the recognition they deserve for their individual efforts.
Motivational artwork decorates the walls at the FCP office, where the small but enthusiastic team describes the work they have done so far.
Favad Hussain and Inez D'Souza at work in the company headquarters. For the past half-year the team has worked out of Sikandar's home while their offices are under construction.
Design and strong visuals seem to be an important part of FCP's offering. "We even had to design logo's for some of the smaller restaurants ourselves, because they didn't have any," says Mustafeez Ahmed, the general manager at FCP, while describing their efforts to collect data and useful information about all of Pakistan's restaurants.
Members of the FCP team pose for the camera after a promotional activity at the Forum.
Colourful and edgy designs by brand manager Nausheen Shehzad give FCP the identity of an energetic and hopeful new enterprise, while adding a local flavor to brand. A fitting combination for one of Pakistan's new online companies.
A screenshot of the Food Connection Pakistan website, where users can access the main listings, browse various categorizations, access blogs, and avail various promotions.
This July saw the launch of a new website, whose subject is sure to catch the attention of many Pakistani's owing to it's attractive content: It claims to be "Pakistan's Premier Food Guide".
Dawn.com visited the headquarters of Food Connection Pakistan to find out more about this new website, that is among Pakistan's pioneering online businesses, and the only comprehensive restaurant listing of it's size since Karachi Snob.
The company was started by Nauman Sikandar Mirza and his small, dedicated team. Though they are based in Karachi, they set out to gather essential data on restaurants all over the country, a process that took over six months and required them to send out teams to Lahore and Islamabad.
"It was very important to us that the information was correct and up to date, that's why we went and did it ourselves. We didn't want to list old or outdated information regarding any restaurant" said Mustafeez Ahmed, the general manager at FCP.
The website now boasts an archive of over a thousand eateries across Pakistan, and has partnered with over 15 restaurants that are now "featured" by them - a partnership that includes places like Hobnob and Nandos, which are advertised on the website and also offer special coupons and discounts there.
Among their interesting features is a highly customised search, that - in addition to the usual search categories like location and cuisine - allows users to browse restaurants by per-head price, or whether they offer specific services such as wifi coverage, access for the disabled and credit card payment.
Food Connection Pakistan has also partnered with bloggers who are "selected for their expertise and experience" in food and cuisine. They are featured in the "FC blog" section, which they claim will become a resource for restaurant reviews and a more personal guide for food enthusiasts who frequent the website.
Starting this fresh and enthusiastic enterprise, the team at Food Connection Pakistan promises that they will channel the Pakistani passion for food in a way that will empower both customers and restaurants, and put them "head and shoulders above their competition". - Text by Nadir Siddiqui

I am amazed at the creativity and entrepreneurial talents of the new generation (of Pakistanis).

James A Michener, (February 3, 1907 – October 16, 1997), is one of the most memorable names when it comes to semi-real sagas, i.e., stories of lives and characters based in authentic historical landscapes. He was an orphan, born and raised in America, by an adoptive mother. And it seems that the search of his own roots was the drive that took him all over the world and he gave us those wonderful stories.
Michener did very well in schools and college and graduated with highest honours, his major subjects being English and Psycholology. He travelled Europe for two years and came back to USA to become a high school teacher. For many years, he continued teaching at various schools and adding more feathers to his qualifications as teacher.
But the magic happened when he was called in to serve for World War II in US Navy, which gave him an opportunity to travel throughout the South Pacific on various missions. From this travels we got "Tales of the South Pacific", and he won the Pulitzer prize for fiction in 1948. This was followed by more than 40 books, all supported by meticulous research work.
He remains one of the most popular writers with @75 million copies of his books sold world-wide.

The 2018 graduating class at Stella Maris Academy in Trepassey made a little history in the Town of Portugal Cove South last month as it was the very first time a Stella Maris graduation event was ever held in the Town. In a toast that was both jovial and nostalgic, Mayor Clarence Molloy said he was honoured to welcome the 2018 graduating students to the community to celebrate their achievements. The event was held in the Portugal Cove South Community Hall October 27. Mayor Molloy reminisced about where he went to school, up by Holy Rosary Church in the Cove, but noted that his Dad, the late Tom Molloy, attended school 100 years ago in a building located on the same spot where the community hall now stands. The PCS Community Centre was decorated beautifully and the welcome extended by Mayor Molloy and the community's residents was appreciated by all in attendance. Congratulations to the 2018 graduates Adrianna Nichol, Riley Pennell and Dion Perry. Not only did they graduate from Stella Maris Academy, but they made a mark on the local history of Portugal Cove South as well.
Sincere thanks and appreciation to the Town of Portugal Cove South.

Catalan vote sends mixed messages
Catalonia's governing nationalist coalition, the conservative Convergence and Union (CiU), suffered a major setback in key regional elections on November 25th, losing one-fifth of its parliamentary seats in a plebiscite that it fought, for the first time in its history, on a pro-independence platform. The election outcome represents a severe blow to the aspirations of the CiU leader and outgoing Catalan president, Artur Mas, who had called for an "indestructible" mandate in order to press ahead with a referendum on self-determination. CiU still won the election, but will govern from a greatly weakened political position. The result seems likely to deflate, although not terminate, the region's broad-based push for political independence from Spain.
CiU's share of the vote dropped from 38.4% in 2010 to 30.7% in 2012, while its parliamentary representation fell from 62 deputies to 50, well short of the absolute majority of 68 it had hoped for. Mr Mas' risky decision to call an election two years ahead of schedule, in the midst of an economic crisis, and centred on such a socially divisive issue as secession from Spain, has backfired for the interests of his party. Mr Mas has long adopted a moderate stance towards independence and autonomy, but has brought about a U-turn in his approach in recent months, in particular as he saw the massive pro-independence demonstrations in mid-September.
Mr Mas is nevertheless likely to resist pressure to resign and may be tempted to press ahead with his proposal for a consultative referendum to gauge Catalan support for independence, despite the considerable political and legal obstacles to such a process. Indeed, the constitution imposes that any referendum on independence has first to be accepted by the central government. Given the current government's strong opposition to any additional autonomy—let alone independence—and the fragmentation of support for independence in Catalonia, a referendum is unlikely to be held in the coming years.
Although the election outcome was a major setback for CiU, it did not represent an explicit defeat of the pro-independence movement. On the contrary, the four parties which now support a referendum on self-determination—CiU, Catalan Republican Left (Esquerra Republicana de Catalunya—ERC), Initiative for Catalonia—Greens (ICV) and Popular Unity Candidates (CUP)—accounted for 57.8% of the vote and 64.4% of deputies (from 52.8% and 60.7%, respectively, in 2010). Of these parties, three—CiU, ERC and CUP—are explicitly nationalist and accounted for 47.9% of the vote and 54.8% of all deputies. In other words, a nationalist and pro-independence majority has been elected to the regional parliament.
Catalan election results, 2010 and 2012
Share of vote (%) Number of seats
Convergence and Union (CiU)a 38.4 30.7 62 50
Catalan Republican Left (ERC)b 7.0 13.7 10 21
Socialist Party of Catalonia (PSC)c 18.4 14.4 28 20
Popular Party (PP) 12.4 13 18 19
Initiative for Catalonia—Greens (ICV)d 7.4 9.9 10 13
Citizens (C's)e 3.4 7.6 3 9
Popular Unity Candidates (CUP)f 0 3.5 0 3
a Centre-right nationalist coalition; b Centre-left pro-independence party; c Affiliated to Spanish Socialist Workers' Party (PSOE); d Left-wing Green coalition; e Anti-nationalist centre-left party; f Pro-independence, anti-capitalist party
Source: Government of Catalonia.
However, this majority would appear too fragile to embark successfully on a path of political secession from Spain at this juncture. On the one hand, CiU appears to have been denied a sufficiently clear mandate to lead such a process. On the other hand, the main opponents of secession—the PP and Citizens (C's)—have emerged strengthened from the Catalan election, underlining the degree to which Catalan society is divided on the issue of independence and the danger that a separatist process may become socially conflictive. The sharp jump in support for C's, which is backed by disparate group of anti-nationalist socialists and liberal-leaning intellectuals, is particularly noteworthy in this respect.
CiU has three options to govern Catalonia
CiU now faces three main governing options, consisting of alliances with ERC, the PSC or the PP. Although none of the options facing Mr Mas looks easy, the most obvious would appear to be an alliance with the ERC, a historically left-leaning party that has always defended Catalonia's independence. Under the new leadership of Oriol Junqueres, ERC more than doubled its parliamentary representation, and has been the main beneficiary of the surge in pro-independence representation in the parliament. Although a CiU-ERC alliance would enjoy a comfortable majority in parliament, ERC is likely to demand a firm commitment to a road map to independence in exchange for its support. This option could therefore leave ERC setting the political agenda in Catalonia and would potentially exacerbate tension with Madrid.
The second option is for CiU to seek a governing alliance with the Socialist Party of Catalonia (PSC), a party which supports reform of the Spanish state along federal lines. The socialists suffered a further decline in support at the Catalan election, but not the debacle that was widely feared. A CiU-PSC alliance would provide an opportunity for both parties to explore a redefinition of Catalonia's status within Spain along less divisive lines than full independence. Moreover, such an alliance could allow both parties to rebuild their damaged reputations for pragmatic and conciliatory politics, at a time of considerable social, political and economic unease.
Finally, CiU could opt to continue governing in minority, as it did in the last legislature, depending mainly on the support of the PP to pass unpopular budget-cutting measures. However, given both the fragility of CiU's majority and the bitterness of the confrontation between CiU and the PP during the election campaign, this option remains relatively unlikely.
The full repercussions of the Catalan election results will not become clear for some time and will depend largely on the choices that the politically weakened Mr Mas and CiU now make. The Catalan electorate has denied giving its full support to a unilateral and potentially destabilising push for independence, led by CiU, which suggests that a push for independence or more autonomy will have to overcome the difficulties of gathering support from a fragmented electoral base. This result has been greeted with relief in Madrid, where the spectre of a break-up of the Spanish state is seen to be fading. That said, the situation remains far from clear; in particular, the formation of a governing alliance between CiU and ERC could conceivably accelerate the pro-independence movement and, consequently, accentuate political tension and instability.

US-Iran tensions have reached new heights and will remain elevated in 2020, but the risk of a direct conflict is low.
Politics | January 8th 2020
The PSOE and UP form a left-wing government
It took two elections and nine months to form a government; the actual act of governing will be no easier.


Thirteen-year-old Chalen didn't think she had a vision problem, despite having a severe case of strabismus. Six months of vision therapy later, she discovered not only how debilitating her eye turn had been, but also how much therapy helped.
Chalen had already received strabismus surgery at age two, as well as patching for several years after. However, surgery rarely restores the eyes' functionality. Thus, ten years later, Chalen was still experiencing functional vision problems.
But despite her parents' observations, Chalen resisted the idea that her vision was hampered by a vision problem. After all, she was performing fairly well in school and even playing tennis.
The issue was that her brain suppressed communication with one eye to avoid the confusion of double vision - a common coping mechanism among people with strabismus. In fact, this suppression had existed for so long that Chalen didn't know any different.
Still, problems persisted. Whether or not Chalen realized it, suppressing one eye restricts normal depth perception and prevents a person from viewing the world in three dimensions.
Furthermore, Chalen's problems seemed to transcend vision. For instance, her mother noted that she seemed especially sensitive to loud noises (she would later find out that her weakened vision heightened her sense of hearing). So, Julie turned to vision therapy for help.
Instead, doctors diagnosed Chalen with esotropia - an inward eye turn, hypertropia - an upward turn, as well as amblyopia (lazy eye) in her left eye. The diagnoses were severe, but treatable.
Life during therapy wasn't always easy, Julie admitted. The process wasn't just limited to in-therapy activities. Chalen also had to complete exercises at home every day, a task that her mother said was difficult at times for a teenager.
Additionally, Julie said that Chalen struggled with her self confidence.
"She thought that she was the only one going through this, the only one that had an eye that turned in and didn't work appropriately," she explained.
Still, they persisted. At The Vision Therapy Center, doctors broke down the problems that Chalen experienced and began building up those skills one by one.
Early on, doctors helped Chalen learn to control her eye movements. After that, they moved on to localization - teaching her to accurately locate objects in space. Finally, they engaged Chalen with binocular activities to train her eyes to work together and avoid suppression.
These activities included looking at targets through glasses with red and green lens filters. The targets have characters that can only be seen by one eye or the other depending on the filter. This helps doctors determine when suppression occurs and teaches patients how to control it.
Finally, Chalen's first real progress began to surface. Six months into therapy, Chalen noted the world looked "bigger, brighter and clearer" than before. Her mother also noticed that she wasn't tripping on stairs as much.
After one year and 48 therapy sessions, Chalen graduated from vision therapy. Doctors noted she had an easier time aligning her eyes and focusing, in addition to having a more accurate perception of space.
Chalen's family opted for a "functional cure" as opposed to a "total cure," which may have taken much longer. That means that although Chalen's vision isn't perfect (she still doesn't have normal binocular depth perception), the strides she made dramatically improved her quality of life, making day to day tasks easier.
While therapy took dedication and effort, Julie said it was entirely worth it. She recalled her daughter's excitement after her final therapy session, when she signified her feat by ringing the therapy center's graduation bell.
"When she rang that gong bell, you could just see it in her eyes that she had accomplished something huge," Julie said.
Looking forward, Julie sees a brighter future ahead of her daughter, perhaps literally with Chalen's improved vision. She urges other parents to visit The Vision Therapy Center to see how it can improve their child's life.

Q: MySQL upload CSV file as new table I frequently upload CSV files to a MySQL db.
It is very convenient to use LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE to upload the data, but I can't use this to create the table itself.  As of now, the best method I have is to use PHP to get the field titles from the first row of the file and then put together a CREATE table query.  Is there a more convenient way to do this?

A: Any automated method would be missing some key information about the table: the types of the columns (although they could be guessed via some heuristics), null/not null, the indexes/primary keys, and foreign key relationships.
If all your columns are VARCHAR, your method is probably the most convenient. Perhaps you could write a wrapper script to automate the process of creating the table and importing the contents (minus the header)?

Watching the watchers
https://www.meforum.org/campus-watch/8040/watching-the-watchers
University of Chicago professors who teach or write about Israeli-Palestinian relations and the place of Israel in the Middle East now find themselves with an audience besides that of their students and peers: Campus Watch.
The Web site was founded by Daniel Pipes, director of the Middle East Forum and columnist for the New York Post and the Jerusalem Post. Its stated purpose is to "monitor and gather information on professors who fan the flames of disinformation, incitement and ignorance. Campus Watch will critique these specialists, and make available its findings on the internet and in the media." Disinformation, incitement and ignorance, in the parlance of Campus Watch, is anti-Israel sentiment, something which runs counter to "American interests on campus."
It is a shame that Pipes, who once taught at the University of Chicago, has chosen to link incitement and ignorance with dissent. Pipes brings members of the academic community to task for opposing the Gulf War in the face of support from America as a whole and for investigating the role of U.S. foreign policy in stirring violence against American targets. The suggestion that academic debate should never run counter to popular opinion is surprising; that it comes from a member of the academic community and a former member of our own institution is shocking.
Rashid Khalidi, a professor of Near Eastern Language and Civilization in the University and a frequent target of Campus Watch "campus surveys," has found himself the target of slander and electronic identity theft since being featured on Campus Watch. While Campus Watch does not encourage such responses, the site clearly supports an atmosphere of condemnation, not argument.
Professors such as Khalidi put their reputations on the line whenever they teach a class or publish an article, be it scholarly or popular. Campus Watch's campus surveyors—who report "anti-Semitic" statements or opinions from professors and classes—are held to no such standards, instead submitting reports anonymously to the Web site. Campus Watch is entitled to the same rights that free speech guarantees for its targets, and its basic intent to bring academic discussion to the popular forefront is not misguided. It should, however, look to the standards of academia as a model, not as a danger.

Harkrider Endodontics
Adam K. Harkrider, DDS, MS
Diplomate, American Board of Endodontics
What is an Endodontist?
Endodontic Technology
Endodontic treatments have come a long way in recent years due in part to modern advancements in endodontic technology. Visiting an endodontist is much different than it would have been even just a few years ago thanks to advanced digital imaging tools that help automate office procedures. These tools allow for better accuracy, greater comfort and improved outcomes for patients.
Some of the advanced technologies that can be found in our endodontic office include:
3D Cone Beam Imaging – Technology that captures 360-degree images of the teeth, jaw, and connective tissues.
Apex Locators – Electronic devices capable of identifying the apex, or endpoint, of a tooth root. With an accuracy of more than 96 percent, this device makes it possible for an endodontist to administer root filling within 0.5mm of the apex.
Ultrasonics – Advanced devices capable of aiding in retreatments that require the removal of metal instruments, such as posts, in the canal system. Ultrasonics can make it possible to identify calcified canals and assist in preserving the natural tooth.
Surgical Microscopes – Surgical microscopes magnify the treatment site to allow endodontists to see into the tooth root system with greater detail. Surgical microscopes allow for increased precision when treating complicated root systems.
Digital Radiography – Digital x-rays are capable of revealing hidden caries, bone erosion, and even tooth decay hiding beneath restorations.
Can I benefit from advanced endodontic technology?
Yes! The technology available to endodontists is changing the way patients get care. Your treatment experience and outcome could be significantly improved by visiting an endodontist who employs the use of state of the art equipment.
What should I expect from these types of technology?
Depending on your procedure, you can expect a faster treatment and more accurate results.
Will I need to visit my endodontist for a follow-up?
Your endodontist will inform you of any post-operative instructions that you need to follow after treatment. Though you may not need to return to the endodontist following your procedure, it may be necessary for you to return to your restorative dentist if you need a crown or other restoration.

Each episode features two people desperate to overhaul their diets, health and well-being. First up are security guard Jackie and sports coach Adam, who have become reliant on fast food and takeaways.

Diane Morgan returns as chain-smoking job-hunter Mandy Carter in a double bill which sees her become a stately home tour guide. Her efforts to impress her employer lead somewhere unexpected – and an appearance on TV family history series Who Are You, Do You Think?.

Dr Amir Khan shows us the effects of added sugar. (Image credit: Channel 5)
Practising GP Amir Khan sets out to learn about the impact of a high-sugar diet after seeing many patients struggle to reduce their consumption, even when faced with dramatic health consequences. For one month, he eats 177g of added sugar each day – chocolate, cakes and processed food. He can soon see and feel the obvious effects on his body, but the interesting stuff is what all that sugar is doing to his brain – and how addictive it really is.
★★★ JL
Cobra Kai, season 4, Netflix
Daniel and Johnny played by Ralph Macchio and William Zabka. (Image credit: Netflix)
Long-time martial-arts rivals Daniel LaRusso (Ralph Macchio) and Johnny Lawrence (William Zabka) will need to bury their differences for good when The Karate Kid spin-off series returns for a fourth season. It's the only way they will be able to stop ruthless sensei John Kreese (Martin Kove), aided by his old Vietnam war buddy Terry Silver (Thomas Ian Griffith), from winning LA's All Valley Karate Tournament. The stakes are particularly high this year – the losers will have to leave the area for good. But can Daniel and Johnny really bring themselves to bury the hatchet?
Don't Look Up, Netflix
Meryl Streep as US President? It's a yes from us. (Image credit: Netflix)
Leonardo DiCaprio and Jennifer Lawrence have six months to save the world in this comical pre-apocalyptic film written and directed by Oscar-winner Adam McKay. They play astronomers Dr Randall Mindy and Kate Dibiasky, who discover that a comet is on a collision course with Earth. Unfortunately, nobody seems to believe them, so they try to get the warning out via the media, and pay a visit to US President Orlean (Meryl Streep) and her hapless son Jason (an amusing turn from Jonah Hill), who's her Chief of Staff. Can they get the world to wake up before it's too late? Cate Blanchett, Mark Rylance and singer Ariana Grande also star.
