European leaders call for de-escalation of situation in Ukraine's Crimea

BERLIN (REUTERS, AFP) - Germany, France and Britain expressed alarm over mounting tensions in Ukraine's Crimea and called on Russia to de-escalate the situation, following reports that Moscow could have sent 6,000 troops to the region.
German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier warned on Saturday that developments in Ukraine over the past few hours were dangerous and urged Russia to explain its intentions regarding its troops in the Crimea region.
"The situation in Crimea in particular has become considerably more acute. Whoever pours more oil onto the flames now, with words or actions, is consciously aiming for further escalation of the situation," he said.
"Everything Russia does in Crimea must be in keeping with the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine, and treaties on Russia's Black Sea fleet," he said.
"We are holding the Russian government to its public statements on this. And this entails also that Russia provides without delay complete transparency over the movements of its troops in Crimea, as well as its goals and intentions behind these."
Meanwhile, French Prime Minister Jean-Marc Ayrault said the territorial integrity of Ukraine "must absolutely be respected".
"There is a requirement that must absolutely be respected - the territorial integrity of the country," Ayrault told reporters, speaking during a congress of European social-democrats in Rome.
"Everything must be done for this integrity to be totally respected.
"This requires a great sense of responsibility from all the players, above all from the political forces in Ukraine themselves but also from all of Ukraine's partners," Ayrault said.
"Ukrainians want democracy and we can understand that. They are turning to Europe, to European democracies. It is Ukrainians who must build their future," he said.
French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius also said that France was "deeply concerned" over reports of significant troop movements in the flashpoint Black Sea peninsula.
"We call on the parties to abstain from actions that could raise tensions and harm Ukraine's territorial integrity," Fabius said in a statement.
British Foreign Secretary William Hague took to the social media on Saturday and said he had spoken to Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov to call for a de-escalation of the situation in Ukraine's Crimea.
"Have spoken to Foreign Minister Lavrov to call for de-escalation in Crimea and respect for sovereignty and independence of Ukraine," he tweeted.
Hague said he would travel to Ukraine on Sunday to hold talks with the new leadership after Prime Minister David Cameron told Russia to respect the volatile nation's territorial integrity.
Cameron spoke to Russian President Vladimir Putin on Friday.


Red Hat has been heavily invested in the telco cloud from an open source perspective for some time, so it makes sense for Mycom to collaborate with it in order to stay relevant in the cloud era. Mycom's Experience Assurance and Analytics solution will be deployed on the Red Hat OpenStack Platform and the Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform to make the telco cloud magic happen.
Red Hat has made its name in the telco sphere by tailoring open source software to make it 'telco grade' i.e. commercially useful and robust. Network assurance is all about making sure the network is commercially useful and robust so this partnership seems to make sense. Furthermore it might set a precedent for further such collaborations as the telco cloud matures.
Mycom OSI has announced it has been selected to assure Three UK's next generation core network which deploys NFV and SDN, as part of what it claims is the world's first Telco Cloud.
As demand for VoLTE, high definition video and other digital services continue to grow, Three will deploy a new cloud native core network, which it says will enable massive scalability, elasticity, and better reliability for customers. It's another incremental step towards IoT and 5G, providing a mid-term solution to increase speed in response to customers' dynamic service demands.
"We are excited and privileged to be selected by Three UK for the world's foremost network virtualization project. While others are debating various approaches and standards, Three has designed a leading architecture, selected leading partners and is now leading its peer group in deploying Telco Cloud," said Mycom OSI President, Mounir Ladki.
As part of the agreement, Mycom OSI's Experience Assurance and Analytics suite will be deployed to monitor Three UK's Telco Cloud. The suite will assure both new virtualized and existing physical networks, and provide closed-loop assurance-driven orchestration based on end-to-end network and service quality.
Elsewhere in Three's telco cloud world, Astellia has been brought into the fold to help the team transform the network to a virtualized and software-based architecture. The work will focus on providing the visibility and the capability to improve network performance and customer experience.
"Our customers are at the heart of everything we do. We were the first UK network to introduce all you can eat data and we let our customers roam abroad at no extra cost in 60 destinations," said Adam O'Keeffe, Head of OSS Transformation at Three UK.
Using Astellia's vProbes-based virtual monitoring solution, the team will monitor traffic within the virtual infrastructure of Three's network, raise alarms for performance degradation and troubleshoot issues. Astellia will provide various network, subscriber and service analytics with the ambition of improving the customer's quality of experience.

Can't get enough "Reuben"? Try our recipes for Reuben Casserole and Reuben Macaroni Salad. And while you're at it, don't forget to try The Ultimate Reuben, too.
I've come across a number of reuben sandwich variants and this is a rather interesting one that I'd like to give a try. I do miss the use of Thousand Island dressing somewhere in the recipe and I'm wondering where or how it could be added. I don't think the ketchup and mustard is quite enough to mimic the real reuben taste. I think I'd use Bavarian sauerkraut (which has caraway seeds) and also toss in some seeds. The rye crackers or flatbread for dipping would be great. I'd use toasted cocktail rye or the rye Triscuit for this.
Made this for a party last night, using the crock pot directions for transporting ease, and was disappointed. I combined as directed, but felt it was rather bland, and didn't remind me of a Rueben. I added more drained kraut, salt, and caraway seeds. Didn't help much. Maybe it should be baked, because others seemed to like it. It was not objectionable and was nice and creamy with the cheeses and sour cream, but it could have been a plain cheese, or chicken dip.
Please read the directions!!! It says to bake it 25-30 minutes or until bubbly and golden . . . . . HELLO?????
I know not to use a crock pot.
I was thinking the same thing-thousand island. And I will bake it in the oven till bubbly! For the dippers, I'm thinking rye crackers and butter crackers, maybe some marbled rye or pumpernickel.
Can't wait to make this for the Super Bowl !!
I made this for a group of friends for a "girls night in" and everyone loved it! I will make this again and again!
Yes, you can make this Reuben Dip slow cooker. Just cook on low for 3 -4 hours, or high 1 - 2 hours. Enjoy!
Sounds wonderful will try it soon .
I made this for 2 potlucks and it was absolutely delicious. Went over GREAT!!! I used Thousand Island also. Will be making it again next week for a St. Patricks Day luncheon too. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
Instead of ketchup and the mustard, I used thousand island dressing.

The Greville Festoon Necklace
Of all the diamond necklaces in the British royal vaults, few pack as much diamond firepower as the incredible Greville Festoon Necklace. Today, we're taking a deep dive into the history of this fabulous royal jewel.
The diamond and platinum necklace was part of the enormous jewelry bequest left by Mrs. Ronald Greville to the Queen Mother in 1942. Mrs. Greville was a voracious collector of jewels, and, much like Queen Mary, was prone to making and remaking pieces from her own collection. This necklace is one of those pieces. Made by Cartier in 1929, the original incarnation of the piece was a two-row necklace; that original necklace makes up most of the bottom section of the necklace that you see today.
ITN Source/Screencap
But Mrs. Greville, always looking to amp up her jewels, went back to Cartier in 1938 to have the piece made even more magnificent. The jeweler added three more rows of diamonds and reworked the back chain sections of the piece. The result, according to Hugh Roberts, was "comparable in richness to some of the work carried out by Cartier for its Indian clients." (For reference, see our recent post on Cartier's Patiala Necklace.) The five-row necklace is the version that was left to the Queen Mother, who occasionally wore all five rows for major events. Above, she wears the complete necklace with the original version of the Greville Tiara during the state visit of Queen Juliana of the Netherlands to the UK in 1950.

More often, though, the Queen Mother chose to wear just the three-row section from the remodeled necklace for gala events. The entire necklace is really enormous, basically a giant diamond bib, but the three-row section is a bit more forgiving and easier to wear. Above, the Queen Mother wears the three-row necklace during the German state visit in 1998. (It's incredible to see her wearing a tiara and gala jewels at nearly 100!)
When the Queen Mother died in 2002, the necklace was inherited by Queen Elizabeth II, who has never worn the piece in public. Instead, it's one of the jewels she placed on loan to the Duchess of Cornwall. Camilla is particularly skilled at wearing spectacular necklaces — you can see our entire post on her necklace collection over here — and she managed to pull off the five-row version of the necklace during the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting in 2007. We haven't seen her wear the necklace for quite some time; I'd love to see her try the smaller, three-row version soon!

Q: Enforcing development cycle through Bugzilla I work on a project with a pretty formal development process: there's a list of required documents, from requirements to design to testing to user documentation. We're trying figure out how to make sure all feature development goes through all the stages.
One idea is to use Bugzilla's Status field to capture the workflow; we'd add the following status entries and make bugs go through all of them before being resolved:
UNCONFIRMED
NEEDSREQUIREMENTS
NEEDSUIDESIGN
NEEDSDESIGN
NEEDSIMPLEMENTATION
NEEDSDOC
NEEDSTEST
RESOLVED
CLOSED

Has anyone tried capturing a development process through Bugzilla like this? Is there another approach or tool that would be a better fit?

A: You should use requestable flags. For example: a flag called "ui-design." Then you set it to "?" to mean "needs UI design" and "+" to mean "has UI design" or "-" to mean "doesn't need UI design".

A: I think you would be better off using flags for capturing this workflow. Having a busy state transition diagram through which you try to enforce workflow would sometimes be annoying when there's some valid reason for handing one bug a little bit differently.
For example, you could have two flags needs-ui-design and ui-design-complete to describe the status of UI design. UI designers could easily search for bugs that have needs-ui-design set to + but that do not have ui-design-complete set to +.

New Delhi: Strongly condemning the attack on Amarnath yatris, President Pranab Mukherjee today asked the Jammu and Kashmir government and other agencies concerned to ensure that the guilty were brought to justice.
"Such senseless acts of terrorism targeting innocent lives is an attack on the democratic values of the society and deserve to be universally condemned. They must be met with determination and collective action," the president said in a message to Jammu and Kashmir Governor N N Vohra.
He called upon the Jammu and Kashmir government and all agencies concerned to ensure that the perpetrators are brought to justice and law and order is maintained in the state.
President Mukherjee has strongly condemned last night's terrorist attack on the Amarnath yatris, a press release issued by the Rashtrapati Bhavan said.
"I am deeply shocked and anguished to learn about the cowardly attack on Amarnath yatris in Anantnag district of Jammu and Kashmir in which a number of innocent pilgrims lost their lives and several others were injured," he said.
The President said: "I am sure necessary steps are being taken to provide all possible aid to the bereaved families who have lost their near and dear ones as well as medical assistance to the injured".
At least seven pilgrims died and 20 were injured in the attack.

The two main composers of this era are Haydn and Mozart.
1. The Classical period was approximately 1750-1820. The musical center was Vienna, Austria. Four intellectual leaders during this time were Voltaire, Jean Jacques Rousseau, Benjamin Franklin, and Thomas Jefferson. The American Revolution, the French Revolution, and the Napoleonic Wars are of this time period.
3. The Rococo began the Classical period. It was basically centered in France and reflected the attitudes of the aristocracy. The style was decorative, light, and ornate, and was also known as the galant style.
4. The patronage system was common.
5. Music tended to follow expected practices.
6. Melodies were pleasant and often made up of short phrases (two or four measures long) in a statement-answer pattern.
7. Rhythm was steady and metrical, except for recitatives and cadenzas.
8. Crescendo and decrescendo were used instead of terraced dynamics.
10. Orchestras were not very large.
11. The piano replaced the harpsichord.
1. Because opera is a type of theater, it has certain conventions that listeners need to understand and accept in order to appreciate it.
· The singing style must be powerful enough to project the words and music throughout the opera house or auditorium. This singing style is unfamiliar to most people.
· The words are often in a language other than English, which makes them impossible for most Americans to understand unless they follow a translation.
· Opera plots must be shortened to keep them from being too long. Much more time is required to express a thought in music than to speak those same words. As a result, the dramatic quality may sometimes suffer.
· Opera requires the suspension of the same realities that affect any drama. For example, large blocks of time are often supposed to have passed between a change of scene, and the viewers/listeners observe scenes as if a wall in front of them had been removed so they can see and hear what is taking place on stage, and so forth.
2. Opera can be enjoyed much more if you realize that its purpose is not to imitate reality, but rather to heighten it. It is not bound by logic. Instead it appeals to the imagination through the power of music to project basic human emotions.
3. The text of an opera is called the libretto. It is written before the music, but is seldom written by the composer.
4. The music of an opera consists of recitatives, arias, and choruses. The chorus usually participates on stage from behind the main characters.
5. Several traditions exist about the type of voices and the characters portrayed. The heroine and hero are usually a soprano and tenor, and the villain or authority figure is often a bass.
6. Two types of operas were important during the Classical period: opera seria and opera buffa. Opera seria was the traditional tragic opera that often featured stories about ancient Greek and Roman heros and gods. Opera buffa (comic opera) was filled with fun and frivolity. It was written in vernacular languages, and used humorous dialogue and sometimes included popular tunes.
12. Homophonic texture was mostly used, with only occasional counterpoint.
13. New forms developed for individual movements: sonata-allegro, theme and variations, rondo, and minuet and trio.
14. New instrumental genres include the symphony, string quartet, solo sonata for piano and other instruments, and solo concerto. Most genres are large works that contain several movements or independent sections.
1. Chamber music is music for small ensembles with one player on each part. Although more than one instrument of the same type may be used (two violins, for example), the music each instrument plays is different. During the Classical period, chamber music was always instrumental music.
3. At first, most chamber music was thought of as after-dinner entertainment. But as the century progressed, composers wrote serious and profound chamber works, especially string quartets.
4. A string ensemble that includes a non-string instrument is referred to by the name of that instrument. An ensemble for a violin, cello and piano is called a piano trio.
5. A sonata is a piece with three or four movements for piano alone or for piano and another instrument. It was an important genre of chamber music.
6. Theme and variations is an important type of music consisting of the theme and a number of different settings of the same melody. Go to Haydn page for a wonderful string quartet composition.

Motown M 1090 (B), February 1966
B-side of Shake Me, Wake Me (When It's Over)
Tamla Motown TMG 553 (B), March 1966
(Released in the UK under license through EMI/Tamla Motown)
Okay, this is going to be excellent again, isn't it?
Alright, for me, at this point in 1966, it's pretty much a given that every big-ticket Motown single is going to be good, and probably most of the small-ticket ones as well; a Four Tops/Holland-Dozier-Holland collaboration, even a B-side, is as close to a sure thing as anything can be even before the needle drops. But in this case, I mean that when the needle did drop (or, well, more accurately but boringly/prosaically, I pressed play on the FLAC file), it only took me a few seconds of the intro and first verse to decide that, yep, this is going to be ending in another big green number. Sorry to spoil the surprise, but, hey, let's not focus on how they're doing this, and instead just enjoy the Golden Age ride. Again. Continue reading →
The Four Tops are wonderful, and right now, like the rest of their labelmates, songwriters, producers, musicians, and – heck – probably the people at the pressing plants, they can do no wrong. (9)
Marvin Gaye's time with Smokey Robinson is drawing to a close here on Motown Junkies, but this absolutely has to go down as one of their best team-ups. It's weird and it's thought-provoking and it's utterly beautiful, and it will stay on your mind for months on end (trust me on that last one). I love it. (9)
Marvin's life story was a fascinating patchwork of weird, unbelievable things; here, his musical story treads the same odd pathways, and the results are a strange, groovy trip, but a trip which still compels you to get up and dance. I love it. (9)
Just another really solid Motown cut. By now, Motown could afford to be blasé about such things. (7)
688. The Isley Brothers: "This Old Heart Of Mine (Is Weak For You)"
It should be better known, but then that would still be true if this had sold six million copies; it's a great, great record. ★ 10 ★
687. Brenda Holloway: "Together 'Til The End Of Time"
In keeping with the overall theme so far of Motown's most spectacular winter, this is yet another established Motown artist subtly raising their game to a whole new level; if, this time, it's more about the anticipation of what it means for future records than the one we're listening to right now, this is still awfully nice. (7)
686. Martha & the Vandellas: "Never Leave Your Baby's Side"
The return to both the heavier beats and the heavier themes of the earlier Vandellas' best material is a welcome one; this is a record at once ominous and impressively demanding of your attention, neatly illustrating not only where they've come from but also where they're headed. Especially their superstar of a lead singer. (9)
685. Martha & the Vandellas: "My Baby Loves Me"
I find it hard to put into words just what it is she does, but she does it here better than ever before. (9)
684. The Elgins: "Darling Baby"
Even though this is maybe a slower burn than Put Yourself In My Place, it ultimately gives a brighter light; the work that's gone into this is staggering, and the results get better with every listen. (8)
683. The Elgins: "Put Yourself In My Place"
What we have here is a calling card for a fine new group, in many ways the first "new" Motown signing of the mid-to-late Sixties, the first Motown group born as a "Motown" group. It sounds great, and it's also a really good record, even if there's better to come. (7)


Last weekend A Place in the Sun Live welcomed 6,049 visitors to the National Hall at London Olympia, up from 5,195 in 2013, which meant a busy three days for all the international exhibitors and particularly for SIS Property and Tourism.
Great has been the interest in buying property in Italy but the visitors have really appreciated Puglia region and those areas still undiscovered from the mass tourism like Salento and the heel of the Italian boot.
At the Italian Property Pavilion SIS Property and Tourism has presented an interesting free seminar for all the house hunters "Puglia: buying a new way of life! "My personal buying experience by Susie Thorpe-Woods". In one hour a day, Susie TW has hold its speech on her real buying experience from the initial search on the web to the signing of final deed in front of an Italian Notary Public.
The audience was very impressed by Susie's excellent experience and did not hesitate to ask further information about this unknown area of Italy. A reporter for the Times attracted by the big picture of Santa Maria al Bagno, used as background to the stand, she wanted to interview Susie Thorpe-Woods and Luigi Spano on that beautiful area and will soon publish her article in the insert of the Sunday Times Home.
We were pleasantly surprised to read in the magazine A Place in the Sun (March 2014) that Amanda Lamb, presenter of the show who own a house in Salento, recommend Santa Maria al Bagno as one of the most beautiful beaches in Puglia.
Italy is the fourth most popular destination for UK buyers purchasing homes overseas and with its wonderful food, landscapes, art, culture and people, its not hard to see why so many Brits have a dream of owning their very own slice of this very special country.
Please stay tuned interesting articles coming soon.

If you need occupational footwear with the best possible resistance in all environmental conditions, then I recommend safety shoes with rubber soles.
In this article I will answer the most frequently asked questions about safety shoes with rubber soles, to help you find the perfect product for you needs!
Rubber is the material for safety shoes with the highest resistance to chemicals, heat, hydrocarbon, acids and abrasion. In general, it is the material with the best resistance in almost any circumstances. Indeed, most safety shoes for special applications (like those for firemen and those for foundries) have rubber soles.
In this article I will talk about single-density rubber soles, which are the most compact and the sturdiest, because rubber is not mixed with other materials such as PU or EVA, which are less resilient.
SINGLE-DENSITY RUBBER: extremely resistant. It can withstand temperatures ranging from -30 to +300 °C, it's hard to pierce even with a sharp or pointy object, it withstands the contact with hydrocarbon, micro-organisms and several chemicals. However, rubber is heavier than PU and TPU, and less flexible when it's subjected to low temperatures. Rubber soles are also known for their great slip resistance, comparable to that of PU and TPU.
RECOMMENDED USE: in- and outdoors, when there is a risk of contact with hydrocarbon, chemicals and acids. If they have the HRO marking, they are also suited for working on hot surfaces. It's a heavy and compact materials, hence it is not the best option if the lightness of your footwear is important to you.
What models of safety shoes with rubber soles should you choose?
These tips should help you to find the perfect model of safety shoes with rubber soles for your needs.
As soon as you choose your perfect pair of safety shoes with rubber soles, you will be better protected and you will live a better working experience.

Gilbert d'Aissailly (Languedoc  – Dieppe, 1183) a Jeruzsálemi Szent János Ispotályos Lovagrend anglo-normann nagymestere volt Jeruzsálemben. 1146-tól várkapitányi posztokat töltött be a mai Szíria területén. Származását valószínűleg a languedoci Assalit családtól vezette le, erre utal neve.

Elődje Arnaud de Comps volt, akitől a tisztséget 1163-ban vette át. A rend első komoly katonai vezetője volt, uralkodása alatt felgyorsult a johanniták harcossá, a Templomosok riválisává válása. Miután egyiptomi hadjárata kudarcot vallott, 1170-ben lemondott posztjáról. 1183-ban, útban II. Henrik angol királyhoz, Dieppe-nél vízbe fulladt. Utóda Gastone de Murols lett.

By means of a simple economic model, Shleifer and Vishny (1989) describe how top managers can entrench themselves by specific overinvestment. An extension of the model with additional investments exposes interdependencies that exceed the primary value of explanation. The extension of the model focuses on investment behaviour and the impact of the market for corporate control on managerial entrenchment. Despite specific over-investment, total corporate investment does not change. Increased specific investments are balanced by appropriate disinvestments in other areas of the company. Additionally, more competition does not necessarily discipline the manager. In fact, a competitor can increase the divergence between managers and shareholders. An increase in managerial competence on the part of the competitor can even induce a loss of wealth for all actors.

Willow House is a for-profit nursing facility in Illinois. The small S Corporation offers 16 beds and is not eligible for Medicaid and Medicare claims. Willow House is an Intermediate Care Facility for persons with Developmental Disabilities (ICF/DD) that offers nursing services, occupational and speech therapy, and selected inhouse medical services like dental consultations. The facility is located at 555 Burnham, University Park, IL, and may be reached through telephone number 708-534-5821. The Illinois Nursing Home Care Act and Department of Public Health govern Willow House.
Willow House is a small Intermediate Care Facility for persons with Developmental Disabilities (ICF/DD) in Illinois. The small facility was established in 1996 and has since provided 16 beds for its residents. As of 2016 reporting, the facility has an 85.16% occupancy rate. Apart from general services like cleaning, laundry, and meal preparation, the nursing home provides nursing and pharmaceutical services, dietary consultations, and occupational and speech therapies.
Willow House is not in a Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC). A CCRC provides three levels of care: independent living, assisted living, and skilled nursing. Typically, a CCRC offers the most service-intensive options for residents. At a CCRC, residents may freely move from one level of care to another.
The nursing home is also not within hospital grounds. Some residents may require more intensive care that can only be provided at a hospital. Because Willow House is not located at a hospital, residents cannot be easily and quickly transferred to an acute care setting, if necessary.

According to the Ministry of Health, the death toll in the Spanish coronavirus exceeds 50,000 marks
Spain has the fourth highest death toll in Western Europe after Italy. (File)
The number of deaths in Spain caused by the new coronavirus was over 50,000, according to an official count by the Ministry of Health on Friday.
The country has recorded 24,462 new confirmed Covid-19 infections and 298 deaths since the ministry's last record was released on Thursday, bringing Spain's total to 1,879,413 cases and 50,122 deaths.
Spain has the fourth highest number of deaths in Western Europe after Italy with almost 72,000, the UK with almost 71,000 and France with almost 63,000.
Since Spain lifted one of the strictest bans in Europe in late June, it has been difficult to keep new infections under control.
To curb a second wave of coronavirus cases, Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez declared a state of national emergency in October, which will last until May.
The measure allows the powerful Spanish regional governments to impose night curfews, limit the size of gatherings and restrict movement in and out of their territory.
Health officials have also targeted nightlife and partying as some of the main sources of the recent infection resurgence.
As in other European countries, Spanish authorities have urged people to exercise caution over the Christmas and New Year holidays to avoid spreading the virus.
Meetings were capped at 10 per household on Christmas Eve and Christmas, and the same restriction applies to New Years and New Years.
This is the second state of emergency declared in Spain this year after one in March to contain the first wave of the coronavirus, which lasted until June.
Like most EU member states, Spain launched its coronavirus vaccination campaign on Sunday.
The government expects between 15 and 20 million of the 47 million people to be vaccinated against the virus by June.

The K&N 77-2588KTK Air Intake fits some Ford F250 Super Duty, and Ford F350 Super Duty models. See vehicle applications link for details.
The K&N 77-2588KTK high-flow performance air intake system is a free-flowing, mandrel-bent aluminum tube air induction system designed to fit some Ford F250 and F350 Super Duty truck models. The restrictive factory air filter and air intake housing on your vehicle are replaced by this K&N air intake system which is designed to dramatically reduce air flow restriction as it smoothes and straightens air flow. The improved air flow allows your engine to inhale a larger amount of air than it would from the stock air intake. More air means more usable power and acceleration throughout your engine's RPM range. The 77-2588KTK air intake comes with a K&N high-flow air filter and replaces the entire factory air box assembly. Air is directed through the intake tube into the engine's throttle body for a guaranteed power gain. The air intake tube has an attractive textured black powder-coated finish that's made to last and it accommodates the factory mass air sensor, EVAP vent line and crank case vent hose. The oversized cone shaped air filter can be used for up to 100,000 miles before servicing is needed depending on driving conditions. This air intake is relatively easy to install usually in 90 minutes or less using existing factory mounting points. The tools needed are a screwdriver, ratchet set and several wrenches. Some K&N 77 series air intakes are not legal for sale or use in California and other states adopting California emission standards while others are CARB exempt and 50 state legal. Check the K&N catalog or website for vehicle applications and specific CARB status for each vehicle and air intake.
Awesome product Bolted right up no issues. Immediate difference in throttle response. Would highly recommend.


Flying cars are one of the basic examples of retro-futurism, or how in the past we imagined the future would be. We spent the entire twentieth century believing that in 2000 the cars would fly, but now we are already installed in the new millennium and we have abandoned that dream. And we do not even think about it when we are stuck in a jam, is one of those promises they have been hopeless. Up to now.
Suddenly, it seems that we can dream again and those responsible are few Slovaks have created a prototype flying car and ensure that it is perfectly possible that in a few years the highways are in heaven. The car is called AeroMobil 3.0 and has been presented during Pioneers Festival in Vienna.
So far we know what the creators have said about the project that despite the ostentatious car, thanks to the wings that make aircraft are folded while driving, it fits perfectly into a standard parking space. In the AeroMobil 3.0 fit two people and, as indicated from the company, it works with regular gasoline. That is, no special gas stations will be needed. The previous prototypes had already managed to fly, as seen in this video.
It weighs 450 kg, its folding wings are carbon fiber and can get to fly 55 kilometers per hour.
"We want to make it exciting personal transportation, more efficient and sustainable," said Juraj Vaculik, one of the cofounders of AeroMobil. "With more cars on the roads and airports with more people, travel is no longer what it was." They want to return us to find pleasure in transport.
Given that the first patent for a vehicle of this type was recorded in 1903, and there are car prototypes that run through the air since 1937, it may be best not to rush. Although it is difficult not to close your eyes and imagine ourselves in the Delorean Back to the Future or a scene from Blade Runner.
Flying cars are one of the basic examples of retro-futurism, or how in the past we imagined the future would be.

The Feel of Being Rewarded
We do things and we are compensated. It is a clear path to that basic reptile part of the human brain – gratification. Whether it be extra experience point gains for the most enemies killed at once or the copious gifts released by a boss's death, the cause-and-positive-effect aspect of Diablo 3 is truly addictive. The combination of progress, leveling up and a storyline speaks to the part of us that wants things simple again. It's that part that wants to trade department meetings at work for a vampire broadsword in Bastion's Keep. We give in to Diablo 3 and it makes us feel good for doing so.
Adventurers beware – Diablo 3 has claws that reach far and deep. With amazing gameplay, graphic and sound achievement and an environment built for PC gamers, Blizzard's latest production rules. It also controls, demands and never lets you go. We've waited for over a decade for this game and it has finally arrived. German poet Friedrich Schiller once said "Accursed be he who plays with the devil." Those that battle Diablo know the truth of these words and this game, like any tempting addiction, is at its best when surrendered to.

KABUL (Pajhwok): Afghanistan has been ranked as the 4th most corrupt country around the world , a global anti-graft coalition said on Thursday.
In its latest annual report, the Transparency International said Afghanistan trailed only Syria, South Sudan and Somalia.
Most of countries were making little or no progress in ending corruption, according to the 2017 Corruption Perceptions Index.
Journalists and activists in corrupt countries risked their lives every day in an effort to speak out, said the report, which ranks 180 countries.
The watchdog uses a scale of 0 to 100, with 0 meaning highly corrupt and 100 very clean. More than two-thirds of countries score below 50.
More than two-thirds of countries scored below 50, with an average score of 43. New Zealand and Denmark rank highest with scores of 89 and 88 respectively.
Afghanistan has an abysmally low score of only 15, with Yemen and Sudan scoring16 and Libya 17. North Korea also earned a score of 17.
The IWA suggested Afghanistan should create an independent commission for fighting corruption, coordinating anti-graft efforts with Anti-Corruption Justice Center (ACJC), providing strategic ideas and preventive measures.
The organisation said amending the access to information law based on international standards and creating an independent commission for supervising the process should be a priority for the government.

West Hants keeps Hantsport dissolution promise
WEST HANTS — West Hants municipal council kept its promise and Hantsport residents won't see a tax increase this year. Other county residents will, however, see a slight increase.
Carole Morris-Underhill · Journalist | Posted: May 6, 2016, midnight | Updated: Sept. 29, 2017, 10:57 p.m. | 5 Min Read
Here's a look at how much residential property tax people would pay for a home valued at $150,000 in East Hants, West Hants, Hantsport and Windsor for the 2016-17 fiscal year.
"They got exactly what was committed when we went through the dissolution process," said Warden Richard Dauphinee.
Hantsport's residential tax rate will remain at $1.66 per $100 of assessed value, and the commercial rate is being held at $3.82.
The only difference is how West Hants is calculating the former town's rate.
Chief Administrative Officer Cathie Osborne said they broke down the tax rate and applied an area rate to show the services that other West Hants residents don't have.
"We don't have sidewalks in West Hants so that would be area rated. We don't have street lights. The other thing is they carried over debt from the prior unit so it's not fair that all of West Hants residents pay for their old debt so that's part of the area rate," explained Osborne.
There is also some money being set aside for when the equalization payments from the province come to an end.
"When equalization payments end in five years, we will have some money to offset that so not everybody will have to pay for the loss of that additional (money)," said Osborne.
"The bottom line: the rates have not gone up for Hantsport," she said.
The same can't be said for residents living within the county but outside of Hantsport's borders. They will see a slight tax increase. They will now pay $1.0163 per $100 of assessed value, which is an increase of just under one cent.
Commercial properties in West Hants, however, won't be paying more. The rate will continue to be $1.80 per $100 of assessed value.
"We don't have a lot of commercial so it didn't affect us that much. The other thing is, by leaving the commercial (rate) the same, we're hoping to attract business also," said the warden.
Coming into the budget process, West Hants council was staring down an increase of nearly four cents on the dollar. That was something the warden said from the get-go wouldn't get approved.
"Every year that I've been here, the draft one comes in and I call it the Christmas wish list," said Dauphinee.
Through several budget meetings, that list was whittled down and revamped to keep the tax increase something council could accept. For example, they opted to not fund a new police officer, which amounted to about one cent on the final tax rate.
"It's the same level of service, everything is the same, but we found areas that we didn't need as much money as they were proposing," said Dauphinee.
Dauphinee said one of the mandatory increases they had to absorb was a $115,000 increase in education costs.
Martin Laycock, the director of finance, proposed increasing the amount of interest charged on overdue taxes — something that will provide about $32,000 in revenue for West Hants. Coun. Randy Matheson ultimately voted in favour of the increase, but throughout budget talks, passionately spoke in opposition of the idea. He said it would hurt those who were already struggling. Those with overdue taxes will now be charged 1.25 per cent per month (15 per cent yearly), which is up from one per cent.
Osborne said this year's budget contained many small projects that will add up to benefit West Hants.
An additional part-time staff person is being hired for the recreation department due to the increased workload coming from Hantsport. The budget includes a website upgrade and new highway signs.
"There are some good things in there. They're not $1 million things; they're just small, incremental changes to try to make sure West Hants can put forward its best face and meet the challenges," said Osborne.
There's also funding for "some not so nice things to offset some of the challenges that we have," she noted, alluding to such things as lawyers' fees.
The major highlight for her was being able to replace the Windsor Fire Department with a similar service.
"We were able to replace a fire service — create a new fire service — and fund for all the equipment within the same budget dollar. That's a pretty good highlight in my opinion," she said.
The municipality and the WFD parted ways in the fall of 2015. Volunteers from Brooklyn and Hantsport fire departments stepped up to fill the void left by Windsor, and recruited new volunteers.
"We have all brand-spanking new equipment," said Dauphinee. The fire equipment purchased — be it bunker gear or trucks — will be financed over two decades.
"That is the good news. We were able to maintain that same level of service — and better — by having newer equipment and all within the same envelope," said Osborne. "That was a lot of hard work but it was a success — as sadly as that sounds."

Important Kings County meeting
There will be a meeting for property owners in Avonport, Hants Border, Lockhartville, Bishopville and West Brooklyn to deal with setting an area rate for the provision of continued fire service from the Hantsport Fire Department.
The Municipality of West Hants will be hosting the meeting on May 25 at 7 p.m. at the Hantsport Fire Department, which is located on 5 Oak St.
The municipality is proposing an area rate of 4.89 cents ($0.0489) per $100 of assessed property value be imposed to help with capital purchases for the fire department.
If approved, a person owning a home valued at $150,000 would pay an additional $73.43 for fire protection per year.

Coty nears deal to buy P&G businesses for about $12 billion: Reuters
Reuters News
(Reuters) — U.S. cosmetics group Coty (COTY.N) has won auctions to acquire three businesses from Procter & Gamble Co (PG.N) for as much as $12 billion, a source familiar with the matter told Reuters.
Reuters reported last week that Henkel & Co KGaA AG (HNKG_p.DE) and Coty, both of which have personal care and cosmetics businesses, made binding offers to buy separate parts of P&G's beauty businesses.
P&G, the world's largest household products maker, has been looking to sell several assets it considers non-core as part of its cost-cutting strategy.
Coty, which has a market value of $9.39 billion and makes perfume for fashion brands Calvin Klein and Marc Jacobs and owns nail polish brand OPI and Rimmel mascara, has been looking to expand its products portfolio.
Coty outbid other potential buyers vying for P&G's hair-care, fragrant and cosmetics businesses, the source said, asking not to be identified because the matter is not public.
The source cautioned that the deal, had not yet been finalized.
The deal was first reported by the New York Post.
Coty refused to comment when contacted by Reuters. P&G was not immediately available for comment.
